() Gu Chen lifted the quilt and got up, jumped and flew out of the window, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Qin Niang sat up, stretched her neck and looked out, faintly worried in her heart.

After all, this is the courtyard of the deep palace, no more than other places, if it is discovered by other internal guards, it will inevitably be punished by the emperor for a crime of conspiracy.

Thinking like this, she couldn't sleep anymore, so she simply got up in her clothes, sat down in a chair in front of the window, and looked out the window fixedly.

Gu Chen has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, and his vision at night is naturally better than ordinary people, just a glance, he knew that the shadow was heading towards the main hall of Song Huai next door, so he followed quietly, but he didn't get close, just lurking in the distance to watch.

Soon, Song Huai came out of the hall, he was wearing a snow-white middle coat, obviously preparing to sleep.

Gu Chen sneered, and said secretly, this Song Huai has a lot of secrets, in the inner courtyard of this deep palace, there are actually such masters of the rivers and lakes who enter and leave the palace wall at any time, if he is just greedy for some silver, he really doesn't believe it.

Just embezzling that little money, where is he enough to raise so many talented people?

Soon, a light conversation came.

"Your Highness, it seems that someone is checking on us." The strange man in a black suit spoke.

"Who knows?" Song Huai asked with a twisted eyebrow.

"It's not clear for the time being, I think the other party's strength is not weak, I haven't found the person behind it for a long time, I only know a pseudonym, but it's useless."

"Check, continue to check, especially the third child, keep an eye on the palace, don't let him cultivate any forces behind his back." The prince said through gritted teeth.

"Your Highness, don't worry, we have been staring over there, the third prince is no different from a waste at present, except for drinking and having fun in his mansion all day long."

When Song Huai heard what the other party said, he immediately felt a little relieved, he nodded, and advised, "How is the situation in the mine?" ”

When the strange man heard this, he respectfully reported: "Everything is as usual, that is, many people have died recently, and I am afraid that I have to think of another batch to get a batch to work." ”

"Didn't this palace hear that there are many prisoners of war at the major border gates? You can find a way to get those prisoners of war over, and see if any of the nearby villages are willing to sell them, and the price can go up by two cents. Song Huai commanded in an orderly manner.

"Yes." The man replied and clenched his fists, "That subordinate has retired." ”

Song Huai nodded.

The man dodged, flew out again, and disappeared outside the palace wall in three or two clicks.

Gu Chen was glad that he didn't get too close, otherwise, with this man's skills, he was afraid that he would be discovered.

Now it seems that this Song Huai is not only so simple as corruption, he actually has a mine under his name, but also uses those captured prisoners of war!

It stands to reason that those prisoners of war have a list, and if a large number of them go missing, they will definitely attract the attention of all countries.

However, it seems that this is not the first time Song Huai has done this, so what did he do?

Gu Chen didn't stay outside for too long, he soon returned to Qin Niang's Lanxi Palace, Qin Niang saw him come back safely, and the heart he was carrying finally let go.

"Qin'er, I can't stay longer, Song Huai seems to have done a lot of things behind his back that emperor Lao Tzu didn't expect, I have to hurry out of the palace and send someone to find out, otherwise

, I don't know if it really wants to cause a war in several countries. "Regarding the life and death of the whole country, Gu Chen can't care about the love of his children, if the country is in danger, where do they still have the leisure to talk about love?

Qin Niang also knows the general situation, so when she heard him say this, she hurriedly said: "Then you go quickly, so as not to make a mistake late." ”

Gu Chen nodded, and jumped out quickly from the same way he came.

Qin Niang thought, the guards of this palace wall are too bad, let outsiders sneak in again and again, and there is more than one, if the emperor knows, he doesn't know if he can sleep peacefully at night.

This night, Qin Niang didn't sleep well, and from time to time in her mind came up with the dark shadow that she saw a few days ago who went over the wall and went to the hospital in Song Huai's palace, she always felt that Song Huai had a lot of ulterior secrets, far from being as simple as she saw on the surface.

Although Gu Chen didn't make it clear before leaving, she also vaguely realized that the matter might be more serious than ordinary bribery, and it could cause a war between several countries, could it be that Song Huai did something angry and resentful?

Early the next morning, Song Huai asked someone to call her: "Miss Yang, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked you to go to the main hall to see him." ”

Qin Niang thought that when Song Huai usually greeted her, he was probably going to take her out.

Thinking that maybe she could see Gu Chen, Qin Niang's heart suddenly jumped again.

Even if you look at it from a distance, you can't talk or touch it, but as long as you can see it, it's always good.

Thinking like this, her washing movements suddenly sped up.

Qiu Tao said: "Miss, look at you like this, now your whole heart is on Gu Gongzi, but don't blame the slave for being too talkative, now you are in the palace, but there is still a Tang Wan by his side!" ”

Qin Niang was not in the house at this time, and that Tang Erniang didn't know how to be proud, let alone how to use means to seduce Gu Shen at night.

Thinking like this, Qiu Tao felt worthless for her own young lady.

Her young lady was trapped in the palace in order to save the man, but there was more than one woman by the man's side, and the young lady was in the palace, but he was beautiful every day.

The more I thought about it, the more angry I became.

Qin Niang, who was still in the midst of excitement, was reminded by her like this, and her expression immediately drooped.

Qiu Tao is right, even if Gu Chen respects Tang Wan and stays away, Tang Wan can't let go of such a good opportunity not to do it, in the past, when she was in the mansion, then Tang Wan never settled, and now that she can't reach it, isn't Tang Wan even more like a fish in water?

No matter how strong Gu Chen's willpower is, how can he resist Tang Wan's endless despicable methods?

Thinking like this, Qin Niang's heart became sour.

Seeing that Qin Niang suddenly lost interest, Qiu Xue on the side glared at Qiu Tao and reprimanded in a low voice: "What nonsense are you talking about!" What do you do when you mention that woman? ”

Qiu Tao instantly felt that what she said just now sounded like sowing discord, as if she wished that her own young lady and aunt were the same, and even if it was a man with three wives and four concubines, except for the men of the Yang family, which man in this world was not three wives and four concubines?

It can't be because the Yang family is special, they have to reverse the atmosphere of this world and require all men to be like those men in the Yang family.

As long as Gu Chen also has Qin Niang in his heart, what if he accepts one or two concubines?

Thinking like this, Qiu Tao became annoyed: "Miss, the slaves and maids are all nonsense, Gu Gongzi."

is so smart, how can he look down on that shameless woman? ”

However, Qin Niang had already listened to what she said just now, so no matter what she said later, Qin Niang couldn't think about it.

"It's all you, you have nothing to chew on the root of your tongue, if you are on an errand in this palace, you will most likely be plucked out by the master." Qiu Xue said and made a tongue-pulling motion for her.

Qiu Tao trembled in fright, and her two big eyes were full of grievances.

Qin Niang was so poor by the two of them that she suddenly lost her breath, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't scare her, just like her, she can't enter the palace." ”

Qiu Tao finally smiled when she saw Qin Niang, and immediately echoed: "Yes, yes, the slave maid is so stupid, where can I have the ability to enter the palace, if it weren't for Miss Tuo's blessing this time, the slave maid would never have the blessing to enter the palace in her life." ”

The master and servant laughed, and the atmosphere returned to normal.

Soon, Qin Niang went to the main hall next door.

Because she herself went to be Song Huai's little follower, it was naturally inconvenient to take the maid with her, so Qiu Tao and the others were left in the Lanxi Palace.

"I don't know where Your Highness will take me today?" After saluting, Qin Niang asked.

"It's not the envoys of Miao Jiang, the conditions negotiated with them a few days ago have been signed, and the beauty has also been sent to the palace by the father, and the father has given the concubine, and today he will go to the temple to worship, and then he will send the delegation out of Beijing." Song Huai put down the teacup and said leisurely.

"Leave today? So fast? Qin Niang said, "But most of the poison of the common people in Beijing was caused by them, so let them go like this?" ”

How is it so cheap?

"But they don't admit it, and we naturally have no evidence, after all, the other party entered Beijing as an envoy, so naturally we can't do anything to them, otherwise, if it spreads out in the future, we can only say that we are not benevolent in the east, and the two armies are still not killed in the battle, not to mention that they are just envoys in accordance with etiquette, and we naturally can't move them, but they answer that they will pay tribute for five years, and this matter will be forgotten." After all, five years of Nagong is not a small amount, even the common people of the ten cities can buy it.

In Song Huai's eyes, human life can be bought with money.

"But what are you going to do with me at the temple sacrifice?" Qin Niang twisted her eyebrows and asked, she is not the crown princess, what is she going to do?

Let Yan Jing know, I'm afraid I'm going to be so angry that I vomit three liters of blood.

"You go and paint me." Song Huai raised his eyebrows, "Don't think that you, the accompanying painter, are just shouting and playing, you have to take a pen and go to the palace to draw the grand ceremony of the sacrifice." ”

Qin Niang thought, okay, you are the prince, you have the final say.

The two of them left the East Palace one after the other, came to the Great Palace, and after saluting the emperor, the ministers and royal relatives went out of the palace gate.

Qin Niang sat on the chariot and saw Gu Chen riding a big horse and following the emperor's dragon from a distance, looking unusually majestic without squinting all the way.

Her heart burned and she couldn't help but take a second look.

She had the impression that Gu Gongzi was a handsome man dressed in a sven body, he had the temperament of a literati and the shrewdness of a businessman, he always looked like a wide-sleeved robe, never like now, majestic and heroic.

She was sucked in by him almost immediately.

However, she quickly thought of what Qiu Tao said, Gu Chen and Tang Wan stayed in the same mansion, and she was afraid that something would happen sooner or later.
