"What hairpin?" Gu Xici's whole person seemed to be in a fog, he didn't react at all, he couldn't figure out what they were talking about, and he seemed to be frightened by the crowd that suddenly rushed in.

"That's the hairpin of the main palace!" The queen got down from the bed, waved her long sleeves, and looked at General Pingyuan coldly, "What, could it be that the general thinks that I am the assassin?" ”

"The old minister doesn't dare!" General Pingyuan lowered his head, but he was unwilling to lock his eyes on Gu Xici.

"Mother, what happened just now? We were standing outside the tent, and when we heard your shouting, we rushed in! Chu Xun looked at the surrounding situation and asked puzzledly.

"There was a mouse just now, but Xici has already dealt with it." The queen pointed to the corner of the table and said coldly, "This palace can't help but scream when I see a mouse, can't you?" ”

Everyone followed the queen's fingers, and sure enough, behind the foot of the table pillar, they saw the rat that had been stabbed to death.

In this kind of wilderness, it is normal to have a few mice. And this is just a temporary camp tent, naturally it will not be as particular as the emperor's camp tent to release rat poison to clear rats.

"So, it was just a misunderstanding?" Chu Xun and the second monk Zhang were confused, and everyone rushed in, but in the end, it was a rat who caused the trouble?

Seeing the soldiers with weapons surrounding the entire camp, the queen was even more angry, and yelled at General Pingyuan: "Don't get out of here quickly!" General Pingyuan, I think you are very powerful! ”

"The old minister doesn't dare, please forgive the queen!" General Pingyuan lowered his head and confessed his mistake to the queen, but there was no apology in his tone.

"Please forgive the queen!"

The soldiers in the tent threw down their weapons and knelt before the queen.

"Queen Mother, they are all worried about your comfort Queen Mother, I hope Queen Mother will forgive them!" Chu Xun didn't expect this to be a misunderstanding, and he also knelt down to plead with the queen.

"This palace sees that the general is very capable, and the rules can be ignored!" The queen glanced at them coldly, looked at Gu Xici, who was still held in Chu Jin's arms, and asked softly: "Xici is fine, don't worry, this palace will definitely give you an explanation for this matter today!" ”

Gu Xici leaned into Chu Jin's arms and smiled weakly at the queen, "The courtiers are fine, let the queen worry about it!" ”

The queen looked at Gu Xici's weak appearance and felt a little distressed, and she didn't have time to think that the woman who could stab a mouse to death with a hairpin could be frightened by this small formation?

"Queen Mother, Ci'er is unwell now, can your son take her to the camp first to rest?" Chu Jin could feel Gu Xici's high body temperature, and looking at her weak appearance at the moment, he couldn't help but feel a little distressed in his heart.

Chu Jin's face was pale enough because of his poor health, but Gu Xici, who was now shrinking in his arms, was even weaker than Chu Jin.

The queen looked at Gu Xici's appearance, and she didn't have time to think too much, so she hurriedly said, "Hurry up and bring Xici back, you are frightened when you look at your face, and this palace is distressed when you look at it!" Imperial Doctor, quickly Xuan Imperial Doctor will go to King Zhao's tent and see Princess Zhao! "

The palace maid beside him immediately rushed out of the door, and Chu Jin also supported Gu Xici and walked out of the tent.

"Wait!"

Chu Jin hadn't gone out with Gu Xici yet, and General Pingyuan, who was standing at the door, blocked their way and glanced at Gu Xici suspiciously.

"What, what else is going on with General Pingyuan?" Chu Jin asked impatiently, a pair of purple eyes seemed to have a trace of killing intent.

General Pingyuan was startled by Chu Jin's eyes, but when he looked at it again, he looked peaceful. He frowned and asked, "Dare to ask the queen mother, has Miss Gu already checked?" ”

Chu Jin's face instantly became gloomy, and he looked at General Pingyuan and said coldly, "General, I don't know, why do you always hold on to your resignation today?" In terms of seniority, resignation should be your grandchildren, and it has been difficult for juniors many times, is it possible that it is the general's philosophy of acting? The former emperor once said that whether it is governing the country or being a person, we should convince people with virtue, and today it seems that the general does not agree with this view of the former emperor! ”

"General Pingyuan, today is your overstep." The queen was also very dissatisfied with General Pingyuan, "The palace has just examined her, and she didn't see any injuries on her back, only a small injury on her shoulder." ”

Hearing the queen's words, Chu Jin's frowning brows loosened, and he didn't say more.

It's just that he knows in his heart that Gu Xici's back is not without any scars as the queen said, but is covered with large and small scars.

"And what's the deal with the shoulder injury?" General Pingyuan seemed to be sure that the assassin was Gu Xici, and still asked unrelentingly.

"It was injured by mistake when the prince was hunting a hare a few days ago." Gu Xici stood up slightly from Chu Jin's body and said slowly, "If you don't believe it, you can ask the prince to come over and ask for clarification." ”

"Enough, General Pingyuan, this matter has been troubled since the morning to now, can it end? Just for your conjecture, Xingshi mobilized the crowd, but in the end, he didn't find anything, and he looked at what kind of system Yue Liguo became! The queen heard that she was going to find the prince to testify, and she was even more dissatisfied with this Pingyuan general, "Jin'er, go back with Xici, I'll deal with it here." ”

"The retainers obey!"

Chu Jin didn't hesitate, he bent down in front of everyone and picked up Gu Xici, and when he passed by General Pingyuan, he didn't forget to glance at him coldly.

Gu Xici wrapped his hands around Chu Jin's neck, and buried his whole head in front of his chest. The injuries on her back were a little torn because of Chu Jin's movements, but she knew that there could not be anything unusual at this time, she was surrounded by General Pingyuan's people, and if she was not careful, she would be discovered by the people around her.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, I saw the emperor and the ministers of the court standing outside the tent, looking at the tent with some anxiety. Finally, I saw someone coming out of it and immediately asked, "What's going on?" ”

As he asked, the Emperor's gaze followed the raised curtain to the tent. The small camp tent was full of kneeling soldiers, and only Chu Xun, Empress and General Pingyuan were standing, as if they were confronting.

"Your Majesty!" The queen's face was full of anger, and when she saw that the emperor was outside, she immediately walked over quickly, wanting to tell the emperor about what had just happened and the dissatisfaction in her heart, "This is the place where the female relatives check, but General Pingyuan rushed into the tent with the soldiers without permission, and he didn't care about the concubines and the female relatives inside!" If the female relatives lose their reputation because of this, what should they be guilty of! ”

The queen was indignant, glared at General Pingyuan and said sarcastically, "Maybe the general has only one son, so he must not care about the mood of these daughters' families." ”

Seeing that the queen was really angry, the emperor hurriedly held her hand and comforted: "The queen is relaxed, General Pingyuan is also anxious, so he had to collide, I don't think he did it intentionally." Just because of their hearts, they should also be treated leniently. ”

Hearing what the emperor said, the queen couldn't disobey him anymore, but there was still a little unwillingness in her eyes, leaning on the emperor's side, and asked embarrassedly: "Then according to the emperor, what should be the way to deal with it?" ”

The emperor likes the queen's temperament of accepting it when she sees it, and she can always give him enough face every time, "Now is an extraordinary period, the army can't be without generals for a day, it's better to let General Pingyuan make up for it, how about doing his best to escort these days?" ”

The queen nodded reluctantly, "Just according to what the emperor said." Turning her face, she found that Chu Jin and Gu Xici were still standing at the door.

Chu Jin tried his best to hold the weak Gu Xici, but because his foundation was not good, his face was now covered with beads of sweat.

"Jin'er, why don't you hurry up and send Xici back? And you, don't be reckless if you're not in good health! You two hurry back to rest! The queen frowned slightly and ordered.

Only then did the emperor realize that the faces of the two were wrong, and his face immediately darkened, "What's going on?" Why does Gu girl look like this? ”

Hearing that the emperor cared so much about Gu Xici, General Pingyuan, who was kneeling on the ground, was dissatisfied, and the fire that had never been extinguished was ignited again at this moment.

This demon girl must have dared to be so arrogant because she had the emperor's support!

However, he is the general of Pingyuan, who is the saint, and he doesn't believe that this little girl is more favored by the emperor than him.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that King Zhao and Princess Zhao can't return the account yet." General Pingyuan said lightly, "At this time, the assassin has not been caught, and King Zhao and Princess Zhao are powerless, if you return to the tent, it is inevitable that you will not fall into the hands of the assassin, and it will not be good if the princess and princess are injured!" ”

"That's what I said, Jin'er, you and Gu Yatou have a good rest in this tent, and bring the imperial doctor over!" The emperor nodded and said.

At this moment, the soldier in charge of the inspection in the next tent came to report, "Report to the general, everyone has been checked, and no one has been found to be injured on the back. ”

"Your Majesty, the palace has also checked all the female dependents, and there are no back injuries." The queen glanced at General Pingyuan coldly, and snorted coldly, "In my opinion, the general must be too tired to make a mistake in judgment, and if there is time to conduct a thorough investigation here, the assassin may have fled long ago." ”

The early morning mobilized the people, but in the end there was no result, and the emperor's face was a little unsightly.

General Pingyuan's face is even more ugly, the queen has obviously targeted him, if he can find the assassin, it's okay, now that people don't show up, he can't argue, "Your Majesty, the minister still has a plan, as long as everyone tells everyone what happened last night, whether there is a witness, then you can definitely find strange people, even if you don't, you can find some clues." ”

This matter has already consumed a lot of manpower and material resources here, and the emperor is eager to solve the matter immediately. Although the method proposed by General Pingyuan is a bit stupid, it is indeed the only feasible way now. If nothing is found after such a big movement, this time it must be up to them to laugh at the departure of the country.

"Send the order, everyone gather in the clearing, I want them to explain their whereabouts last night!"

"Yes!"

The order was conveyed, General Pingyuan looked coldly at Gu Xici who was nesting beside Chu Jin, and sneered in his heart, this time no one can help this demon girl!

Due to physical exhaustion, Chu Jin put Gu Xici down and hugged the person into his arms. Gu Xici's face was pale, the sweat on his forehead became more and more obvious, and he said distressedly, "Can you still hold on?" ”

"I'm fine, it's almost over here, just go back and rest for a while." Gu Xici shook his head and said strongly.

It could be seen that Gu Xici was no longer strong, Chu Jin frowned and called the little guy next to him, and asked him to call the imperial doctor first.

It was as if rewind to a few days ago, and all the people were once again concentrated in this clearing. Unlike last time, all the adults present were arranged to sit in chairs, and the attitude of the soldiers towards them was noticeably better.

"I invite you to come out again today, mainly to track down the assassins, please explain where you did last night, and whether anyone can prove it." The father-in-law cleared his throat and looked at the people sitting around, "Everyone must have heard about the attack on General Pingyuan yesterday, so if anyone has ever found something abnormal, please tell me about it." ”

It stands to reason that Chu Jin should be on the right hand side of the emperor and sit down with the princes, but he surrendered his identity and has always been by Gu Xici's side. The little guy has already invited the imperial doctor, and is taking the pulse of Gu Xi's resignation.

The imperial doctor frowned slightly, and looked at Gu Xici carefully.

"Doctor, what's going on?" Looking at the strange movements of the Imperial Doctor, Chu Jin couldn't help but ask.

"This ...... Miss Gu, have you been injured recently? Her pulse is qi and blood, and there should be a wound that has not been cleaned up, so that it is suppurated and inflamed, and this will cause the high fever to not go away. The imperial doctor stroked his beard and said, "The old man prescribed a few pairs of anti-inflammatory and fire-reducing medicines, but the most important thing is to treat the wound as soon as possible." ”

The imperial doctor looked at the weak Gu Xici, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to Chu Jin on the side.

"Lord, there's one more thing ......"

"Just say it." Chu Jin didn't have to listen to it to know what he wanted to say, so he naturally thought of a countermeasure.

"It's been a while since Miss Gu's injury last time, and it stands to reason that it has already scabbed, so there shouldn't be such inflammation ......"

"It's because this king didn't deal with it well last time, and I didn't dare to do it again when I shouted that it hurt." Chu Jin said with some self-reproach.

"I see!" The imperial doctor's face was clear, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for this prince with the kindness of a woman, "It's better to ......"

"It's too much of a doctor, decoction the medicine as soon as possible, so that she won't suffer so much again!"

The imperial doctor was still thinking that he was helping Gu Xici clean up his wounds, but he didn't expect Chu Jin to be one step faster than him and directly rejected him.

"Obey."

Although Gu Xici was in a daze, he could hear the conversation between the imperial doctor and Chu Jin just now.

This matter was originally her own business, why did Chu Jin take the initiative to hide it for her?

And the person who was questioning over there gradually approached the two of them.

Everyone's rhetoric was similar, at that time they all went to sleep with the lights out, and the witnesses were the maids and maids around them. The emperor, who was sitting on a high place, was also a little bored listening to it, and couldn't help but yawn.

"Gu Xici, where were you last night? What did you do? Can there be witnesses? The eunuch asked all the way down and stopped in front of Gu Xici.
