Hearing Chu Jin say this, the queen also remembered, just now she had clearly looked at Gu Xici's back carefully, and there were no scars, which was not consistent with the assassin with an injury to the back in General Pingyuan's mouth.

"Your Majesty, just now the concubine really checked Xi Ci's back well, and she didn't find anything abnormal!" After being reminded, the queen also began to doubt everyone's judgment, "This may just be a misunderstanding!" ”

General Pingyuan disagreed, and retorted: "If this is the case, then please ask Miss Gu to tell me clearly, where did you go last night, and whether there is a witness!" Otherwise, it's not normal for a girl's family not to go back to the camp tent in the middle of the night! ”

Gu Xici leaned on Chu Jin's arms, gritting his teeth with hatred for this Pingyuan general. If he hadn't been pestering and always putting the finger on himself, she would have avoided this disaster a long time ago! If you wait until you are really found out, you must not let this old man have a good time!

"Don't you want to know where she went last night? I know where she was last night. Chu Jin looked at General Shang Pingyuan, and there was a trace of coldness in his purple eyes.

"Huh? Then you don't say it quickly, and you don't see when it's over! When the emperor heard Chu Jin say this, he hurriedly asked.

"Heh, King Zhao, I advise you not to make up a reason for the future Princess Zhao, it is a big crime to bully the king!" As if he had heard some joke, General Pingyuan raised his head and laughed, aggressively, "King Zhao forgot, you were with Lao Chen all the time last night, when will you be able to be a witness for her?" ”

"I didn't know that General Pingyuan could actually take care of my affairs!" Chu Jin looked at General Pingyuan coldly, and saw that the other party's back was cold.

General Pingyuan couldn't help but re-examine this Zhao King Chu Jin, who had never been paid attention to, and he who had been unknown all along, still had such an aura.

"Queen Mother, I can only tell you about this alone, are you willing to come and listen to me?" Chu Jin once again set his eyes on the queen.

But at this time, the situation was not clear, everyone suspected that Gu Xici was the assassin, and Chu Jin asked her to walk over, and the queen really didn't know whether to go or not. But Gu Xici was indeed examined by her personally, if she is really at this moment, it should be easier to do it at that time than now!

Just when everyone was at a stalemate, the queen lifted the hem of her clothes and slowly walked towards Chu Jin from her position.

Countless soldiers surrounded Chu Jin, and she pushed aside the layers of soldiers, and then walked to Chu Jin's side.

She walked in front of Chu Jin, only to find that Gu Xici's situation was far more serious than she imagined. She wasn't like this when she was examined before, and now her consciousness was a little scattered, even if she was really an assassin, it was impossible to hurt herself at this time.

The queen who was relieved approached Chu Jin, turned her head sideways and said, "Jin'er, just say what you have!" ”

I saw Chu Jin whispering in the queen's ear, and the queen's expression obviously changed from caution at the beginning to surprise.

"You, you say you!" The queen's face was full of joy, and she couldn't help but look back at the emperor, as if she wanted to share the news with the emperor as soon as possible, she looked at the smiling King Zhao in front of her, and couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder, "You said you, you don't tell your mother and father about such a big thing, it's true, I don't know what you think!" ”

Everyone was kept in the dark, and they couldn't understand what Chu Jin and the queen were whispering, and why it was only a few minutes before and after, and the queen's attitude had changed drastically.

The empress hurriedly waved away the soldiers gathered around Chu Jin, trotted to the emperor's side, and commanded as she ran: "What about the imperial doctor!" Go and call the Imperial Doctor! No, let the imperial doctor wait in King Zhao's tent! ”

The empress walked back to the emperor's side and said in his ear with a smile, only to see that the emperor's face instantly became clear.

"What are you still doing here, get out of here and let King Zhao return to his account!" The emperor smiled happily, turned his head and saw that these soldiers were still surrounding Chu Jin, frowned, and said angrily.

The soldiers stared at each other with big eyes, and they couldn't help but turn their eyes to General Pingyuan.

General Pingyuan didn't know what was going on, what did that Chu Jin say to the queen, why did he suddenly become happy!

"Why, won't my words work for you!" The soldiers were still hesitating whether to let or not, only to hear the emperor say coldly.

General Pingyuan, who was standing below, was also taken aback, and hurriedly rushed to the front and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, there is no explanation for this matter, and you must not let the tiger return to the mountain!" ”

"General, this matter should not be made public, just now King Zhao has already said to the palace, and the palace has also transferred the words to the emperor, the West has been with Jin'er for the past two days, if you don't believe it, the palace can guarantee them, there will be no fake!"

"But last night, the prince was obviously with the old minister!" General Pingyuan was puzzled.

"General, you are wrong, this king was not with you all the time last night, after the assassin fell off the cliff, do you remember that you took all the soldiers to search under the cliff, and I was still on the top of the mountain?" Chu Jin looked at him coldly.

"But ......"

"Nothing!" General Pingyuan wanted to say something, but was stopped by the emperor, "I believe that Jin'er will not lie to us about this matter, there are many things to do in this matter, and he will not lie about this matter." ”

Everyone nodded when they heard the emperor say this. Everyone thought that the emperor was discussing the important matter of catching assassins, but only the emperor and Chu Jin knew, and they meant something else.

"That's the end of it." The emperor looked at what General Pingyuan was still talking about, his face was pulled, he stared at him and said, "General, I see that you have made a lot of contributions to Da Chu, so I have tolerated you again and again, and all the investigations have cooperated with you, what you say is what you say, but don't go too far, all of you here are important ministers of the court, this time I and the ministers are here to hunt, not to investigate!" ”

"The emperor is angry!" The emperor rose up, and the ministers below all knelt down one after another.

General Pingyuan's thorough investigation in the past few days has already made the ministers impatient, but it is difficult to say it for the sake of the emperor's face, and at this moment, the emperor has spoken, and their anger does not need to be hidden.

"That's it, General Pingyuan, we respect you as the hero of Da Chu and tolerate you in every way, don't deceive people too much!"

"General, we are both officials in the court, we have a good time to see each other in everything, we are of the same grade, have you been calling me for less these days!"

Complaining for a while, General Pingyuan never expected that these ministers would have such a big grudge against him.

"Enough!" The ministers were still complaining about themselves, and suddenly a loud voice overwhelmed everyone, only to see An Guogong sitting in his place, and coldly glanced at the ministers present, "Everyone is for the Great Chu State, and General Pingyuan is also doing this for your safety." Now that the assassins haven't caught it, you're starting to fight among themselves! ”

An Guogong's words made the ministers who were originally boiling shut up. An Guogong is the uncle of today's saint, when the emperor was there, he made a lot of contributions to Da Chu, even if the emperor saw him, he was polite and gave three points, not to mention these ministers.

Just now, the emperor also started to talk about it, and everyone dared to talk about it like this, and most of them catered to the holy will. And now someone has stepped up to stop it, and everyone has gradually calmed down.

Thinking of the chaotic appearance just now, the ministers blushed.

On the other hand, there were also people who had left the country, and they seemed much calmer. This matter is an internal matter of the Great Chu State, and they are only responsible for sitting next to them and watching the excitement without expressing any opinions.

Only then did the ministers remember that there were people from other countries present, and those who had some objections instantly closed their mouths.

Seeing that the ministers were quiet, the emperor looked at An Guogong with satisfaction, stood in his position and cleared his throat, and said to the ministers: "The matter of the assassins will be suppressed for the time being, and after returning to Beijing, I will send someone to investigate this matter thoroughly, and now there is a major matter to announce to you." ”

The ministers looked at each other, what could be more important than catching an assassin at this time!?

"Gu Yuan!" The emperor swept around the crowd and finally found the prime minister.

"The minister is here!" Hearing the emperor call his name, Gu Yuan was shocked. Ever since everyone testified against Gu Xici just now, his heart has been hanging. If Gu Xici was found out to be that assassin, then their entire Gu family would be affected. At that time, if you put forward that this third lady is fake, I am afraid it will be difficult to get rid of the relationship.

The emperor looked at Gu Yuan with a hint of a smile on his face, "Aiqing, I have something to discuss with you." Xi Ci is now at the age of marriage, and King Zhao has also reached the time of his own mansion, according to what I see, since the two children have already had a marriage contract and rejoined, it is better to return to Beijing this time and pick a day to do things? ”

"Thank you, Lord Longne!" When Gu Yuan heard the emperor say this, he immediately knelt on the ground.

Li Mengyi was still stunned when she heard the news, until Gu Yuan pulled her over, and then she remembered to kneel on the ground and thank her.

Those present were also surprised by what the emperor had suddenly announced. This thing is too unreasonable! In the last second, everyone was still denouncing Gu Xici as an assassin, but now they are marrying her to King Zhao. This time, everyone was more interested in what King Zhao and the Empress had just said.

Gu Xici was still held in Chu Jin's arms, she heard the conversation between him and the queen just now, and she had to praise it in her heart, this King Zhao lied and his face was not red and his heart was not beating, if it weren't for the pain in her back now, she would have to believe his words.

Chu Jin clearly confessed to the queen that Gu Xici had been staying in his room last night, and the two had already become husband and wife, and it was not until this morning that Gu Xici returned to his camp.

"Someone, hurry up and send King Zhao and Princess Zhao back to the camp, only you are asking if you are delayed!" As soon as the queen gave an order, the people around her immediately dispersed, and Gu Xici finally relaxed, and the nerves that had been tense were finally released.

Gu Xici has never been so relaxed as he is now. Growing up, the environment in which she lived did not allow her to let her guard down. Whether it was in an orphanage when she was a child, or becoming a professional killer when she grew up, because only when she is strong can she better protect herself, so she dare not relax every day.

But at this moment, Gu Xici smelled the faint fragrance and fell into a deep sleep. Only occasionally did she feel someone holding her hand or touching her forehead. Subconsciously, Gu Xici couldn't let others touch her, but another voice in her head was telling her that this person was safe and could reassure her.

The body shook slightly, Gu Xici frowned, and then a pair of somewhat cool hands were attached to her forehead. This hint of coolness made her feel very comfortable, and her confused head finally got the meaning of coolness, she couldn't help moaning, her long eyelashes trembled, and a pair of bright eyes slowly opened.

The sudden light made Gu Xici a little uncomfortable, she squinted, and only then could she see the brocade above her head. Then a dark shadow covered her eyes, and she blinked a few times before she could see that it was a figure.

"You're awake!" It was Chu Jin who stood above Gu Xici, and he was finally relieved to see Gu Xici wake up.

Listening to this familiar voice, Gu Xici's heart was a little warm, and in his dreams, there seemed to be such a voice ringing in his ears from time to time.

"Where is this?" Gu Xici opened her mouth, and it took a lot of effort to make a sound, which startled herself.

"Don't move, take your time! We're in the carriage now, and we'll be in Kyoto in half a day. Seeing Gu Xici struggling to sit up, Chu Jin hurriedly stopped, took a cushion from the back, and put it on the bed, and then slowly helped Gu Xici up.

Chu Jin poured her a glass of water, held it behind her with one hand, and brought the teacup to her mouth with the other.

Gu Xici was a little unaccustomed to it, and subconsciously wanted to dodge, but his hand was held down by Chu Jin.

After drinking the water, Gu Xici's voice was finally not so hoarse, and when he heard Chu Jin say that there was still half a day before Kyoto, he couldn't help frowning and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?" ”

"I've been sleeping for two days!" Chu Jin put the teacup away, and pulled the quilt on Gu Xici with a smile.

"So, you've been taking care of me all the time?" Gu Xici looked at Chu Jin with a tired look on his face. She suddenly remembered that there had been a person holding her hand in her dream, and that hand was like a life-saving straw for Gu Xici, and she vaguely knew that she could only live by holding him tightly. Whenever that hand wanted to leave, she would always try her best to take it into her arms. Including now, one of Chu Jin's hands has always been held in Gu Xici's arms.

"Ahh Gu Xici immediately let go, and the whole person retreated suddenly, but accidentally bumped into the wound on his back, and couldn't help but gasp.

"Be careful!"

There were cotton cushions all around, and although it was bumped, it didn't hurt, but Chu Jin looked concerned, and the whole person sat on the side of the bed, hugging Gu Xici into his arms.

"You have to get better quickly, so that you can be worthy of me not giving up and taking care of you for the past two days!" Chu Jin quipped, "And don't forget, after returning to Beijing, there are more important things waiting for us to do!" ”
