Chapter 68
Gu Shengge's mind is very messy now, Dali Temple, arrest warrant, if nothing else, it should be the assassination case that attacked the royal team on the road yesterday. Could it be that Marquis Dingyuan is the mastermind behind the scenes?
Does Ah Tao know? The arrest warrant hasn't been issued yet, and she shouldn't have gotten the news yet. If she learned the news, would she do anything, what was the law of the Central Plains, and if it was really Lin Shao'an, would he be given death? Assassinating the royal family is a great crime!
Gu Shengge thought for a while, he really had a headache, and inadvertently turned his head to look at Ying Wei, only to find that Ying Wei was looking at him intently, as if he had been watching for a long time. Gu Shengge narrowed his eyes, thinking of Ying Wei's inexplicable actions, and a guess flashed in his heart, would he deliberately leave himself behind to let himself hear the news?
So why did he do this, he suspected that he was involved in this assassination? There is no reason at all, she is just a foreign princess who has no power to fight back, and assassinating the royal family has no benefit to her at all, and it is impossible for Ying Li to be so smart.
So what exactly is he suspicious?
After a while, countless ideas had flashed in Gu Shengge's mind, but they were all denied one by one
"Blowing cold?"
Gu Shengge reacted that he was talking about the chicken soup in his hand, touched the bowl that was still a little hot, and shook his head.
"Then what are you in a daze," Ying Wei withdrew his gaze and picked up the paperwork on the table again.
"Oh," Gu Shengge's stupid hand continued to stir, and he was still standing on the side, looking at Shi Yuan, who suddenly had a feeling that the big room had no place of its own.
"Anything else?"
"No.. No. ”
The book in his hand was gently turned to a page, "What are you still doing standing?" ”
"Subordinates retired," Shi Yuan hurriedly fled the scene, wondering as he walked, why is the prince getting more and more strange recently, Dali Temple found out that Dingyuan Marquis, the second day of the verdict is an ironclad matter, but yesterday the prince also specially instructed that he should personally report to him when the case is finalized today, and the prince's mind is really getting more and more incomprehensible.
Feeling that the bowl in his hand was getting colder and colder, Gu Shengge shook his hand, put down the soup spoon, neatly brought the bowl to Ying Wei, and said simply: "The soup is cold, the prince uses it slowly." He ran away with a smoke, but Gu Shengge was too anxious to notice Ying Wei's increasingly cold face.
At this time, Gu Shengge couldn't care about so much, so he pulled on the wind and left the house. Because of the last kidnapping incident, Ying Wei ordered that he was not allowed to leave the house at will, thinking that there would be a toss when he left the house, but he didn't expect the doorman to stop him. Because there was an emergency, Gu Shengge didn't think much about it, and directly led the two horses and went straight to the General's Mansion.
When Gu Shengge got on the horse and left the house, the guard happened to step into Ying Wei's room, "Tell the prince, the princess took the horse and went.... General's Palace. Secretly glanced at the prince who was sitting in front of him with a very bad face, and his voice became quieter and quieter.
"The General's Mansion?" Ying Wei seemed a little surprised, frowned and asked, "Are you sure?" ”
The guard cleared his throat and hurriedly replied: "Sure, the lowly position will not be mistaken, the direction that the princess will go to is only the General's Mansion, and it will not be wrong." ”
The guards waited for a long time without waiting for Ying Wei's next sentence, and then had the courage to sneak a quick glance, only to see that the book in the hand of the noble prince was thrown aside at random, and his fingers were rhythmically tapping on the table, with a dark expression, like a mountain rain is coming, and like a calm lake. The guards hurriedly withdrew their gaze, and it was terrifying for the prince to just sit there.
"Let's go down."
"Obey the order," the guards hurriedly retreated as if they were about to be amnestied. Ying Wei was the only one in the room, sitting quietly, and the rhythmic sound of his fingers up and down echoed in this silent space, as if it was soul-stirring.
Gu Shengge hurried up and ran all the way. The pedestrians on the road are still bustling, some people walk together, smiling, some are bargaining with the boss, some people are stolen by thieves to the money bag, and some people are righteously chasing after them. Everything is the same as usual. They didn't know anything about the changes in the palace and what was going to happen next.
As soon as Gu Shengge got off the horse, the guards of the General's Mansion greeted him.
"See the princess."
"Excuse me, is your young lady in the house?"
"Back to the princess, the young lady is indeed in the mansion, but...."Hearing that Ah Tao was in the mansion, Gu Shengge interrupted the guard's words, "Then please lead the way." ”
"Yes, princess, please."
Since Ah Tao hasn't left the house yet, most of them don't know yet. When he was on the road, Gu Shengge kept thinking about how to say this. I opened the door to my room and saw that it was empty. The guard said suspiciously: "Miss hasn't seen her come out of the room since she returned to the house yesterday, why is she missing now." ”
Gu Shengge took a few steps inside, raised his eyes to look, and suddenly his eyes froze, and then he raised his hand slightly, signaling them to retreat. When everyone dispersed, Gu Shengge walked up gently, and the white curled up on the side of the bed appeared in Gu Shengge's sight.
Quietly walked to the bed, sat down, and did not speak. Looking at Ah Yuan's appearance, she should know. Gu Shengge couldn't say anything at the moment, she didn't know what to say, she was even more qualified to say anything about the relationship between Ah Tao and that General Lin, so she could only accompany her quietly like this.
The two of them sat like this, and it went on for a long, long time.
"You're here." A hoarse voice came, like the sound of rotting wood pulling and breaking. Gu Shengge frowned, Ah Yuan's voice was afraid that she hadn't slept all night, could it be that she knew about it last night?
"Well, I'm coming."
"Have you eaten?" Xun Tao got up as he spoke, revealing his pale and haggard little face, and squeezed out a stiff smile to look at Gu Shengge: "I'm hungry, you can eat with me." ”
Gu Shengge nodded and didn't say much. Soon a table of good dishes was raised, Xun Yuan took the lead in picking up the chopsticks and picking up a mouthful of pork belly, "Then I'll move the chopsticks first." ”
Xun Yuan tried her best to show that she was eating seriously, but it was the deliberateness she unconsciously revealed that showed the pain she was hiding clearly.
The speed of the chopsticks in his hand gradually increased, and the composure he had tried to maintain collapsed. Gu Shengge looked at the smiling person in front of him who could almost be regarded as a hard stuff, couldn't help sighing, and stretched out his hand to hold the hands that had been picking up vegetables, "Ah Tao, calm down." ”
The word 'calm' seemed to hit Xun Yuan's last trace of reason, the hands holding the chopsticks were weakly put down for a moment, and the whole person seemed to be drained of his soul, leaving an empty shell, and his face was full of decadence and self-deprecation.
"Calm down?" Xun Miao suddenly laughed, "Although my father deliberately avoided his father's return to the mansion yesterday, his conversation with his retainers was overheard by me, and at that moment I told me to calm down; Then I quietly sent my cronies to Dali Temple to investigate, and in the second half of the night, my cronies came back and told me that Dali Temple would issue a wanted warrant tomorrow, and I still told me to calm down. As soon as dawn I immediately sent someone to the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, but the people there told me that Lin Shaoan confessed. ”
"How do you calm me down? How to calm down! Suddenly, Xun Yuan's emotions became excited, she was not at all the usual indifferent appearance, she was like a mentally deranged madman, her eyes became scarlet, and she exuded anger all over her body, like an outlaw trying to grasp the life-saving straw, hysterical "Ah Sheng, do you know what Lin Shaoan's confession represents?" ”
"Qi Yuan Law, if there is one of the following offenses, there is only one end, and that is to be decided."
"If he confesses this sin, who will save him? Assassinating the royal family, the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion will not be able to protect him even if he exhausts the whole clan. ”
"I can't do anything, I can't even get out of this general's mansion."
"Ah Sheng, what should I do! How could I just watch him die! ”
"But"
"Ah Sheng, I can't save him." After saying the last sentence, Xun Yuan seemed to have suddenly been drained of all her strength, and sat on the chair weakly, all the radical restlessness was exhausted in an instant, she was so quiet and helpless, so desperate, the whole person was lifeless, and her empty eyes were like puppets.
