The next day, the court went to court, and the courtiers immediately came to play at the beginning of the early dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Liu Yan, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, was assassinated and killed in Baihualou yesterday!"

The emperor frowned, narrowed his eyes, and asked, "What's going on!" Where is Baihualou? ”

The minister's old face turned red, and he stammered: "This Baihualou ...... This Baihualou is ...... That's the ......."

After talking for a long time, the emperor still had a misty expression.

King Cheng took a step forward and said loudly: "Back to my father, Baihualou is a green building in Kyoto. ”

Everyone below began to whisper, but Chu Xun didn't have so many scruples, the servant of the ministry was a person on his side, even if it was to stabilize the morale of the army, he was bound to ask for an explanation and investigate to the end!

When the emperor heard this, he was furious, and slapped his palm on the dragon chair fiercely, "Bastard thing! ”

Immediately frightened, the officials below trembled, but they could only continue to listen to the emperor's reprimand, "This kind of thing that corrupts the dynasty and loses the face of the entire court, if it dies, it will die, and there is still face to tell me!" It's shameful and shameless, isn't it? ”

Chu Xun dissuaded, "Your Majesty! It is not a pity for the servants of the ministry to corrupt the court, but after all, he is an official of the imperial court, and if he dares to openly mutilate the official of the imperial court like this, the person who can do this must be not small! I implore my father to investigate this matter thoroughly, and my sons are worried that this matter will cause panic in the entire capital, and the lives of the ministers are at stake, which is not good for my Great Chu Jiangshan Society! ”

The emperor twisted his beard, his mood was already calm, and when he heard what King Cheng said, he nodded and said, "What Lao Qi said is reasonable, this matter is not a trivial matter, then this matter will be ......" The emperor swept his gaze around the ministers, and finally glanced at the crown prince Chu Yu, "Then this matter will be handled by the prince." ”

Chu Xun panicked in his heart, "Father! ”

"Thank you for your father's trust, my son will go all out! This matter will be investigated to the end! But the prince knelt down before him to receive the decree.

A trace of unwillingness flashed in Peach Blossom's eyes, Chu Xun really lifted a stone and hit his own feet, and he couldn't say anything bitter, so he could only swallow the rest of the words back.

He originally suspected that the prince's people did it, but now his father handed over the matter to her to investigate, even if it was found out in the end, eighty percent was just a scapegoat.

Chu Xun could only be secretly annoyed, and decided that he still wanted to go out and investigate it secretly!

An Guogong, who was gray-haired but still radiant, suddenly stood up, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter is very important, although the prince is a dragon and phoenix among people, but in the end, he is young and inexperienced, and he still needs to help." The old minister is incompetent, but I wish His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a helping hand to investigate this matter! ”

The corners of Chu Xun's lips hooked, and he stepped aside to observe silently.

"Father! Erchen thinks that he can already take charge on his own, and he doesn't need to borrow the power of others. Please give your son a chance to exercise alone! Chu Yu said loudly.

What is the relationship between King Cheng and An Guogong, he knows very well in his heart. On the surface, this matter asked An Guogong to assist him in investigating the case, but everyone knew that An Guogong deliberately came to his side to spy on him, and it was even more impossible to make a ghost in it!

The emperor pondered for a moment, "Prince, An Guogong is right, after all, he is a veteran of the two dynasties, and he is more experienced, if you follow and learn more, there will always be opportunities in the future." ”

"Yes, the order of the minister!"

Chu Yu was dissatisfied in his heart, and he didn't know how many words he scolded in his heart, but he could only follow orders.

The emperor saw that his two sons were rushing to make meritorious contributions, and Chu Jin, who was standing on the side, who was sick and miserable, just stayed quietly, and couldn't help but say, "It's a pity that Jin'er has no intention of this, otherwise I will definitely ask you to follow you to think about it." ”

Chu Jin took a step, looked at the emperor with clean eyes, and arched his hand: "Father, the son is not young now, he has been bothering his father and the emperor for pity because he was too poor before, and he has not been able to share his father's worries...... cough cough cough ...... always made the second brother and the seventh brother suffer, and the sons were already very unhappy. Recently, Erchen's health has improved, so I want to follow the second brother to see it this time. ”

Chu Jin's words really made the emperor overjoyed!

Among the princes, he has always favored Chu Jin the most, and he was very fond of Chu Jin's mother back then. If it weren't for the accidental death of Chu Jin's mother and concubine that year, and even Chu Jin's weak health since childhood, he couldn't be cured, maybe the crown prince of Da Chu would be Chu Jin now.

The queen has always been quite concerned about this matter, and even with Chu Jin is lukewarm, until Chu Jin took the initiative to leave the palace and build a mansion at the age of thirteen, indicating that she would not participate in the dispute between the princes, the queen let go of her prejudices and changed her attitude.

The emperor had already done a good job of being a rich and noble idler for Chu Jin for a lifetime, but he never thought that he would take the initiative to ask for help today, and he couldn't hide the smile on his face.

The emperor looked at it with expectation, but saw that Chu Jin was still smiling, and the whole person was still gentle and peaceful, which was really the same as what he said, this time he just went to study hard, not to make contributions.

This time King Zhao disappointed him again.

Hey, that's it, he's willing to go and see that it's progressing now, so why ask too much. The intrigue between the prince and King Cheng, although he does not break it, he also knows it in his heart. Now that Jin'er intends to intervene, it can also make those two people more restrained.

The emperor instructed lightly, "It's good to go and have a look, and in the future, the Great Chu Kingdom will also need a few of your brothers to assist the prince." ”

The crown prince and King Cheng did not dare to refute, "Father is wise!" ”

On the surface, they said so, but in their hearts, they were all a little jealous of Chu Jin, Cheng Yanjin, who was killed halfway.

The snipe and the clam fight, and the fisherman profits.

The corners of her pale lips were gently raised, and then quickly lowered, and no one noticed the subtlety.

……

"Madam, we can't just indulge this little slut like this and continue to run rampant!" Gu Huaqing slapped the table fiercely and scolded loudly.

Li Mengyi's eyes squinted, "What's the use of telling me?" Why didn't you know how to play prestige when you faced that fool, and what is the use of an afterthought now? ”

Gu Wanqing hung her head, put down the teacup in her hand elegantly, and said softly, "Mother, according to Qing'er's opinion, let's leave that fool alone." Or find a way to let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince marry his daughter into the palace as soon as possible, where do you need to pay attention to this little girl at that time? ”

Li Mengyi's eyes lit up, and she immediately laughed!

Yes, why didn't she think of it! Even if that dead girl really climbed to the position of Princess Zhao, what could she do? Her daughter is the crown princess, and she still has to salute when she sees her!

Anyway, it was Qing'er who pressed on her head!

"My family Qing'er is really smart, and she broke my dream with one word! We've been busy these days, but it's all in vain! Let's go into the palace to meet the queen, and also walk the relationship between our in-laws! Li Mengyi happily took Gu Wanqing's hand, smiling all over her face.

But Gu Huaqing panicked instantly, they could ignore Gu Xici, but what should they do!

From childhood to adulthood, which one of her was not a thousand times better than that fool?

Since she was a child, she has been sweet and flattering, and she is favored by others, although she is also from a concubine, relying on her mouth, she is more than a star and a half better than Gu Xici in terms of snack wearing. But now if she really let that fool become a princess, then what should she do?

Gu Huaqing understands that she is just a concubine from a prime minister's house, and she can only be a side concubine if she breaks the sky.

As soon as she thought that even if she got married in the future, she would always be inferior to Gu Xici's slut, and every time she met Gu Xici's slut in front of her, she wouldn't be angry?

It's a pity that Li Mengyi has time to take care of her affairs, as long as Gu Wanqing has a good life, her own life will naturally be fine. As for Gu Huaqing, what does it matter to her?

Li Mengyi had already arranged for someone to prepare the carriage, and Gu Huaqing was even more anxious, "Madam, I want to go with me too." ”

If you can enter the palace to meet the queen's mother, please a favor in front of the queen, if the queen likes it, it will be beneficial to help herself choose a marriage!

Li Mengyi turned around and scolded coldly, "What's the use of you going?" I didn't look at the three girls well. You're also a brainless person, you just know how to wait, if you still have a little brain, you might as well investigate how she got to be like this. ”

After speaking, he took Gu Wanqing without looking back, and the mother and daughter went out happily.

Gu Huaqing was so angry that he slammed the table again, "This dead fool doesn't know what evil he has fallen into, but his temper has changed drastically!" ”

She thought about it, and decided to go to Gu Xici's courtyard to investigate first, and then make another plan!

The autumn wind is blowing, the barren grass on the courtyard wall is swaying, and the old pear tree in the corner of the courtyard is swaying its branches and falling leaves.

Gu Xici set up a chair under the pear tree, a pot of warm tea, and half lay in the warm sunlight, closing his eyes to recuperate.

The autumn sun in the afternoon with a bit of warmth, sprinkled a large area of gold, she was only wearing a long dress in green clothes, the sunlight spread out like broken gold, the dust danced in the golden beam, the wind carried some light incense, her whole person was in it, but also with a light light, like a fairy in the world, so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off!

There was a chill in front of him, and a dark shadow was cast in front of him.

Gu Xici opened his eyes, but in front of him was a flat face with no facial features.

Terrible!

The person's voice was cold, "But after a few days, you didn't even recognize the master?" ”

"Master?" Gu Xi said quietly.

The man casually lifted his hand and tore the mask off his face, revealing a handsome face in front of her.

Gu Xici looked at the young man standing in front of him, he looked like he was only about twenty years old, with a handsome posture, a moon-white robe, a simple and clean robe, and a bewitching red lotus flower was embroidered on the corner of the robe, but his facial features were extremely plain, but his face was very cold, such a person turned out to be her master?

"You...... Why are you hitting me? While she was in a trance, the man had already slapped her on the head.

Gu Xici jumped off the chair in an instant, but the next moment he was grabbed by this strange man by an arm, Gu Xici reflexively dodged, his body turned half a circle, but the man's hand also slipped from the arm to the wrist.

The man frowned, "You didn't take medicine?" ”

Gu Xici didn't have time to say anything, but when she saw her fingers on her shoulder, she was paralyzed and couldn't move.

Fog grass, is this the legendary sunflower point acuman?

Gu Xici glared angrily, this is not fair at all! You have the ability to give her a tranquilizer gun!

The man pulled out a small porcelain bottle out of nowhere, poured out a black pill from it, and ordered her, "Open your mouth." ”

This pill was exactly the same as the one sent by Xiaohong that day, and Gu Xici instantly felt a shock in his spirit!

When the man brought the pill to her lips, Gu Xici gritted his teeth, "I don't want it!" ”

"Don't? If you don't eat again, don't want to live this month! The man didn't care what she thought, so he directly removed her jaw bone, forced her to open her mouth, and forcefully stuffed the pill in. Immediately at a little on her neck, Gu Xici couldn't help but swallow the pill, and the man was satisfied with her acupoint.

Gu Xici immediately stuffed his fingers into his throat, bent over and coughed vigorously, wanting to induce vomiting, "vomit vomit ......"

"It's not in vain, it's useless."

This man's fluttering words reached Gu Xici's ears, and it almost made people want to divide him directly on the spot!

Gu Xici said angrily, "Who let you meddle!" ”

The man smiled disdainfully, "Xiaohong also said that you have been very strange lately, but I don't think you are strange." Besides you, who else in the entire Netherworld Valley would dare not take the antidote given by the valley lord and his old man? Did you not suffer enough three months ago? It's just a man, it's worth it? ”

The thought of the little white bug in the pill made her feel a wave of retching.

Gu Xici pinched his fingers and took a deep breath repeatedly, reassuring himself that the more angry he was, the more calm he had to be, and calmness could solve the problem!

glanced at him coldly, "Then who are you?" Come to me for what?

The man's black eyes suddenly flashed, and he sneered, "On weekdays, you can recognize at a glance which face I change into, but today I don't have a single face, but you can't even recognize me, I'm afraid you're a lot lazy if I'm not in these days." ”

All kinds of information flashed through Gu Xici's mind, and he finally remembered what Gu Yuan had said that he was the apprentice of Qianmian Langjun.

Yes, Xiaohong also said it, a thousand-faced Langjun!

Gu Xici's mouth pursed and said aggrievedly, "How do I know if you have a face or not, maybe you still have a face, how can you ......know if you don't touch it?"

The man was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect her to say this.

Gu Xici secretly screamed that it was not good, and his tongue was quick for a while, which made him suspicious. This person is Gu Xici's master, and he must know a lot about that Gu Xici, so if she says this, won't she expose herself?

The man's figure flickered, and he shifted to Gu Xici like a ghost, grabbed her hand and put it on his face, "Come, then you can touch it and see, I didn't bring other faces out!" ”

"Huh?" Gu Xiqi was stunned.

"Didn't you say I'm still cheeky? Then you touch it and see if it's true or not. You've been learning about disguise with me for so long, so you won't be able to touch it with or without sticking to your face, right? ”

His voice at the moment was no longer as cold as it was just now, but a little playful.

Well? He's not teasing me, is he?

Gu Xici tried his best to ignore the soft touch of the skin in his hand, and his fingers moved quickly.

The man reacted quickly, but unfortunately it was still a step too late for Gu Xi to resign.

Gu Xici's former trainer once told them that life and death are enough to be determined in just one second!

Taking advantage of the first strike, she pressed the man against the chair she was sitting on with her knees, grabbed his neck with her hands, and instantly controlled his hands and feet.

She doesn't know whether it's light skills or acupoints, but fighting skills are her strength.

In that assessment that year, she was the only one among all the students who passed the assessment with all A's!

I only heard the cracking sound of tearing and tearing, and the plain face looked more and more confused.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then Gu Huaqing's voice came in, "Third sister? Third sister, are you here? ”

Gu Xici quickly thought about the stakes in his eyes, glanced at the man who was pressed under her in a heavy manner, and let go of his hand. The man did not hesitate, and his luck flew a foot away, and then he flew out of the hospital with a light jump.

Gu Xici looked at the shadow that disappeared in front of him, his eyes were slightly cold, and his thoughts were deep.

Although this thousand-faced Langjun is her master, he is also a person from the Netherworld Valley, and if he goes back to report this matter to the Netherworld, then I am afraid that troubles will follow in the future.

She has long been tired of this kind of day of fighting and killing, but if she wants to live an ordinary life, why can't she?

"Third sister!" Gu Huaqing saw Gu Xici standing thoughtfully under the old pear tree, and hurriedly stepped forward.

Gu Xici looked at her with a hypocritical smile on her face, and she really didn't have any spirit to be false and wronged with her.

She yawned directly, "Is there something wrong?" It's okay, I'm going to take a nap first. ”

Gu Huaqing was very unhappy to see that she had dealt with herself with such a cold attitude, but she still had a smile on her face, trying her best to look gentle and kind, "Hey, I also came here to care about your body, sister." Last time, you fell into the water and didn't be able to take good care of it, and I, as a sister, was naturally worried, so I brought something good to make you replenish. ”

Gu Huaqing opened the brocade box in his hand and put it on the table.

The brocade box contained a rather large ginseng.

Gu Xici couldn't help but hook her lips and smile, as the saying goes, a cat crying mouse is fake compassion, she came to give her something, she must have a plan.
