As soon as he left the Jinluan Palace, the old lady Fu met Pu Hongxuan, the secretary of the criminal department who had been waiting for a long time.

"Old lady Fu! You're out! Pu Hongxuan sighed and said, glanced behind Old Lady Fu again, and saw no trace of Cheng Qi, and then asked, "Why didn't General Cheng come out with you?" ”

"He still has some things to discuss with Jinshang, what are you looking for me?" Old Lady Fu had actually guessed Pu Hongxuan's intention a long time ago, but she still asked with a clear pretense of confusion.

I saw that Pu Hongxuan hesitated slightly, but still asked: "Your Majesty ordered the subordinate to investigate the case of the official department Shangshu today, but the subordinate really has no way to start, this official is also a good friend on weekdays, and I have never heard of any enemies in him!" I also hope that Mrs. Fu will give you some advice! ”

"This, this official can't help anything, but just talked to Your Majesty about this matter, Your Majesty thinks that if there is no enemy, then maybe the person who persecuted the official department is the person who is close to the official department on weekdays, and I don't know!" Old lady Fu stroked her beard and said, It can be regarded as mentioning the book of the criminal department.

The two of them were talking about the affairs of the Ministry of Officials as they walked, and Pu Hongxuan shook his head and sighed: "The person behind this is inevitably too cruel!" The lower officials heard that almost all of those people's deaths were beheaded! ”

"Stopped?" Old Lady Fu also knew about this matter from the ears of Pu Hongxuan in front of him, and even though he was shocked, he then found the clue and said: "Then maybe the scope of the investigation is even smaller, after all, there are not many people in this capital who can have the strength to directly cut people in half!" ”

"Thank you for your advice! The lower official retired first! Pu Hongxuan seemed to have suddenly opened his mind, and after making a big salute to Old Lady Fu, he hurriedly trotted out in the direction of the outside of the palace.

At this time, Cheng Qi finally saw Li Zhonghe again, and directly said to Li Zhonghe the purpose of this time: "Didn't you ask me why I happened to save you in Chuzhou?" Actually, this is not accidental. ”

"Is it really you looking for someone to kill my whole family?" Li Zhonghe's eyes instantly became angry, and the whole person looked like he was about to rush forward and scuffle with Cheng Qi.

But Cheng Qi shook his head and said, "You and I didn't know each other before, why did you do that?" ”

"Then why did you come to Chuzhou?" Only then did Li Zhonghe lower his guard a little, but he didn't believe in Cheng Qi as much as before.

"It was Ah Yan who asked me to go to Chuzhou to find you, saying that your medical skills are extremely high, and I happened to save you when I arrived, I don't know much about this Chuzhou thing, if you want to ask Ah Yan why he is looking for you, I'm afraid I will have to wait for the next Mid-Autumn Festival in the palace." Cheng Qi said this, and he didn't plan to say any more, after all, Jinshang's attitude towards his meeting with Li Zhonghe was unclear.

Moreover, now that Li Zhonghe has been estranged from himself, only after finding out the truth, can the misunderstanding between the two people be resolved.

After leaving the palace, Cheng Qi still couldn't figure out what happened to Li Zhonghe, so he simply put a signal towards the sky.

This signal was agreed by Cheng Qi to Yi Jin a long time ago, if he saw or heard it, it meant that he wanted to see Gu Muyan, so after Yi Jin saw this signal, he immediately went to Gu Muyan and said, "Miss, General Cheng wants to see you." ”

"See me? Why? How do you know? Gu Muyan asked with some doubts, Yi Jin was clearly with him, and he didn't have time to go out at all, how could he know that Cheng Qi wanted to see him?

I saw Yi Jin pointing in the direction of the sky, and said as a matter of course: "The general has released a signal, that is, the general misses you." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Gu Muyan was so blushing by Yi Jin's words that he coughed lightly before he said, "Let's go, since Brother Cheng has something to do, let's go out of the house, do you know where Brother Cheng is now?" ”

"I should wait for Miss in Nanshan Pavilion." When Yi Jin talked about Nanshan Pavilion, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Gu Muyan naturally noticed this action, but he didn't say anything, and after cleaning up a little, he left the Prime Minister's Mansion.

By the time Gu Muyan arrived, Cheng Qi had already ordered a number of dishes and was waiting.

"Brother Cheng, why did you order so much food? Haven't you eaten yet? Gu Muyan asked a little strangely, if it was for Yi Jin, but she clearly remembered that Yi Jin had never been a vegetarian, but there were meat and vegetarian dishes on this table.

"I just got off the morning court, and I haven't had time to eat yet, so it's better for Ah Yan to sit down and use some more." Cheng Qi smiled shyly, not at all like a commanding general, but like a young man who was just starting to fall in love, but Cheng Qi's age was not very old, if it weren't for the fact that his family had already died on the battlefield, he wouldn't have to be so old so early.

"It just so happens that I'm also a little hungry, so let's sit down, big brother." Gu Muyan smiled slightly, sat down, picked up the dishes and chopsticks in front of her, looked at the dishes on the table and said, she knew that if she didn't move the chopsticks, I am afraid that Cheng Qi would not eat it.

"Okay, okay." Cheng Qi said two good words in a row, and then sat down to eat with Gu Muyan.

After Cheng Qi finally finished eating, Gu Muyan asked, "Brother Cheng, is there anything going on today?" ”

"It's still about Li Zhonghe, I really don't understand, but I don't know where to start." After Cheng Qi finished saying this, he seemed to feel bad, so he waved his hand again and said: "If it is inconvenient for Ah Yan to say, I will not force it!" ”

"It's okay, you have to know about this matter after all, it's mine to involve you." Gu Muyan said slightly apologetically, after all, she didn't expect Li Zhonghe to ask about Chuzhou, nor did she expect to suspect Cheng Qi.

Hearing Gu Muyan's words so polite, Cheng Qidang waved his hand and said in a little panic: "No, I, I didn't mean that, I just want to know that the conversation between the four princes alone shouldn't be enough to risk saving him, right?" ”

"Because they said one more thing that day, and it was about my grandfather." After Gu Muyan said this, he subconsciously observed the surroundings.

Cheng Qi also saw the worries in Gu Muyan's heart, but this Nanshan Pavilion was his, so there was no need to worry about this safety, so he explained: "Ah Yan, this place is mine, there is no need to worry about anything." Then he commanded Yi Jin: "Yi Jin, you go out and guard." ”

"Yes, General." Yi Jin got up and nodded respectfully, then looked at Gu Muyan and said, "Miss, I'm just guarding outside." ”

"Hmm." Gu Muyan agreed, and waited for Yi Jin to walk out of the door, before turning his head to Cheng Qi and saying: "That day, the fourth prince said that he would bring Li Zhonghe back in every possible way, because the fourth prince suspected that there was a hidden disease today, and Li Zhonghe practiced medicine for generations, which may be of some use, and later said that his grandfather was extremely powerful in the court and hindered them, and I couldn't really hear the rest of the words, so this Li Zhonghe may be extremely important, but unfortunately I haven't found the key to it until now." ”

"Then why didn't you tell us then?" Cheng Qi looked at Gu Muyan, who had a resolute expression in front of him and wanted to bear it alone, and felt distressed.

"I'm really afraid that my grandfather will worry, after all, this kind of thing is not a good thing." Gu Muyan said prevaricatingly, the scenes of her previous life reappeared again, but how could she tell the cause and effect of her previous life, she could only make up these statements, both left and right were true, even if Cheng Qi and her grandfather went to check, they must have said it herself.

"Ah Yan, with me here, I will definitely protect you..." Cheng Qi said that his face was red again, and he paused slightly, and said, "There is also the master's." ”

"Thank you, Big Brother Cheng." Gu Muyan's heart warmed, in his previous life, Cheng Qi was also so shy that he wanted to protect himself, and in the end, in order to protect himself, he was buried in the fire with himself.

Thinking back to this, Gu Muyan couldn't help but shed tears, causing Cheng Qi to coax at a loss: "Ah Yan, it's not good to be a big brother Cheng, and big brother Cheng shouldn't be so fierce... Ah Yan, don't cry anymore. ”

As he spoke, Cheng Qi gently wiped the tears on Gu Muyan's face with his sleeve, and Gu Muyan didn't expect Cheng Qi to wipe his tears for himself, so he looked up at Cheng Qi.

Gu Muyan's clear eyes were looking at Cheng Qi with watery eyes, Cheng Qi was seriously wiping the tears on Gu Muyan's face, and after the tears on his face were wiped away, Cheng Qi raised his eyes to look at Gu Muyan, and happened to meet Gu Muyan's eyes, and for a while, the two of them looked at each other, and the air around them seemed to stop in an instant.

"Ahem, it's not early, Ah Yan, I'll send you back, another day, we'll see you another day." Cheng Qi almost lowered his head and said, and when he walked out of the box, his face finally returned to normal.

After sending Gu Muyan back to the mansion, Cheng Qi did not rush back to the general's mansion, but walked in the direction of the Taifu mansion.

Looking at Cheng Qi's figure gradually moving away, Gu Muyan murmured in a low voice: "Brother Cheng, in this life, I will definitely protect you!" ”

"Attack incense, go to the people's grain farm, and give this letter to Ruoshu." Gu Muyan handed the letter that had been prepared a long time ago to Xi Xiangdao.

And Luwuyuan also ushered in an uninvited guest at this time, looking at everything in the courtyard left and right, looking at this plain courtyard, and said mockingly: "Sister, this courtyard is really stumbling!" There is not a single strange flower or plant, it is all something that does not enter the stream! ”

Speaking of this, when Gu Xiyue approached Gu Muyan again and wanted to continue, she didn't expect Yi Jin beside Gu Muyan to directly pick up Gu Xiyue and throw it on the ground.

"Poof." Even Gu Muyan didn't expect Yi Jin to do this, so he couldn't help laughing on the spot.

And Gu Xiyue, with the support of the maid, finally got up, stared at Gu Muyan resentfully, and said, "You wait for me!" ”

Then Lin Er, the maid beside Gu Xiyue, threw a piece of clothing directly on the ground and said, "Miss, this is the clothes to be worn at the palace banquet next month, my young lady kindly gave you clothes, you are so uninteresting!" ”
