Ganyu Hutong is not too far from the imperial city, but far away from the lights and hustle and bustle, on one side of the crowd, while the cold wind is howling, the lanterns on both sides of the street are small and dark, cowering like a sigh of no one to pay attention.

"It's snowing." Hu Guiyang put his hands in his sleeves, and felt sorry for the lanterns nearby, he went around in a big circle to the back door of Guanyin Hall, waited for two quarters of an hour, pushed the door three times, and never got in.

He took out his warm hands, covered both ears, and whispered, "Lady Hua is not joking with me, right?" Three more passed. ”

Inhumans are not afraid of the cold, they are highly skilled and can resist the cold wind, like Zhao Aqi, the colder they are, the happier they are.

Hu Guiyang hurriedly retracted this thought, and if he continued to think like this, he was worried that he would lose to Gu Zhongxian.

There was finally a click in the door, and Hu Guiyang waited for a while before walking over and pushing gently.

The door actually opened a crack, Hu Guiyang was grateful, and if the princess appeared in front of him at this time, he would even kneel down to thank him.

After pushing away a little more, after entering the courtyard, Hu Guiyang's little gratitude disappeared without a trace, and a bunch of things he wanted to ask poured up, vying for the top position.

Guanyin Hall is not a big temple, the pattern is the same as that of ordinary people, the back door is open in a corner, and after entering, you can enter the courtyard by bypassing the ear room.

The courtyard is not big, only the main room is faintly lit, and it is also the main hall of the Guanyin Hall.

Hu Guiyang stopped, no longer doubting Mrs. Hua, but instead suspecting the housekeeper's mother-in-law, Mama Li, if this was a trap that put people to death, he completely fell into it, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

The courtyard was silent, and even the light in the temple became dim.

Hu Guiyang still took a step, came to the door of the palace, gently pushed it open, coughed and dodged in, and stood at the door without going any further.

This is the layout of a small Buddha hall, with a lantern lit in front of the shrine, and Hu Guiyang looked for a while before he saw a blurred figure kneeling in the shadow in front of the side of the incense case.

Hu Guiyang coughed again, and was just about to take a step forward, when his figure spoke: "There is a difference between men and women, it is already shocking to see each other late at night, and I will not invite Captain Hu to come over if I forgive my concubine for being rude." ”

Hu Guiyang stopped and said with a smile: "It's good to hear the voice, first of all, I have to thank the princess for summoning me......"

"It's because you're pushing people too much, I can't help it."

"I'm sorry, I just want to find out the truth about the death of the colt, I believe this is also the princess's wish, well, I have a few questions......"

"I didn't see you to be questioned, so please ask Captain Hu to excuse himself."

Hu Guiyang was stunned for a moment, "This is not a question, it's just a ...... Why did the princess call me? ”

"I said, listen, it's best to solve your questions, if you can't solve them, it has nothing to do with me, please don't bother Captain Hu from now on."

"I'm listening."

The princess fell silent, planning for so long, she didn't seem to have figured out where to start, and only after a while did she speak slowly: "Outsiders only know that I am a princess, but they don't know how difficult it is to be a princess. It's the first time I've made a self-conscious decision when I've grown this big. ”

"Doesn't it feel good?" Hu Guiyang smiled, regretting it after speaking, but he couldn't control his mouth.

The princess was not angry, and sighed lightly, "I can't tell, I'm a little nervous, but when I think that I have hidden it from Mama Li, I am indeed a little happy in my heart." ”

"Can I make a suggestion?"

The princess hesitated for a moment, "Please speak." ”

"If the princess doesn't want Mama Li to know about this, it's best to sort out the whole context and prevent the news from leaking in advance."

"Well, you're right, I can't think of such a thing. The maid Hongju, Li Sanniang who buys vegetables, and the flower lady of your mansion...... Who will leak it? The two people on my side won't, they don't like Mama Li, they can be said to hate her, what about Captain Hu's side? ”

"No, it won't." Hu Guiyang suddenly couldn't bear it, the princess obviously rarely dealt with outsiders, and the words in her heart came out, "I'm sorry, in fact, I want to know the context, and Mrs. Hua refuses to reveal it to me, so ...... Sorry, but this is also a reminder that the princess should be very careful when speaking to outsiders. ”

The princess was stunned for a moment and asked, "Are the people outside as treacherous as you?" ”

"Outside, I'm an honest person, and I'm often played around, and if I wasn't really cornered, I wouldn't have to see the princess."

The princess was silent for a while, and said softly: "In that case, Captain Hu, please go back, I have nothing to say." ”

"Why?" Hu Guiyang was taken aback.

"I'm willing to deal with honest people, but I can't entrust such an important matter to honest people, you yourself have been tricked, how can you uphold justice for others?"

Hu Guiyang was also stunned, and found that the princess's words were irrefutable, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "If justice requires conspiracy and trickery, I am ashamed to be inferior to others, let alone the eunuchs and grandmothers in the palace, if this justice requires courage, then the princess has found the right person." You can ask what kind of person Captain Hu Guiyang is. ”

"I've inquired." The princess said softly, "You're right, I want guts, not stratagem." ”

Hu Guiyang didn't move, a little relieved, the princess is very simple, but it is as difficult to deal with Ren Liu'er who is too smart.

"That kind of medicine I asked Mama Li to ask for from the palace." The princess refused to say the words "full pot spring", but she was very frank, and told most of the truth in one sentence, "The concubine wanted, and he said that it was a child-seeking pill, and I only knew afterwards that I had been deceived - I was always deceived." ”

Hu Guiyang was very sympathetic to the princess, so he kept his mouth shut, and just hummed.

The princess chuckled, "The saddest thing is that after the pony got the medicine, it was not used on me, but was taken outside to find other women to spend all day drinking. When they ran out, they came to me and asked for it, and I already knew the truth at that time, so naturally I wouldn't agree, and the colt was very angry, and said that I was the princess, and said ......"

The princess took a deep breath and continued: "It is normal to say that men have three wives and four concubines, although we are husband and wife, we don't see each other a few times a year, and I am not even a 'single wife'. ”

Hu Guiyang couldn't hold back, "Can't see each other?" Is it because Lou Pony doesn't want to come? ”

The princess shook her head, "When I first got married, the concubine was very willing to come, but Mama Li frequently stopped her, and the concubine's mind slowly faded and turned to others." ”

Hu Guiyang was a little surprised, "How big of a backer does Mama Li have?" How dare you stop the princess and the colt from getting together? ”

The princess laughed and sighed, "If you want to say that the backer is not much, it is just a group of old women in the palace, but in the mansion, she covers the sky with one hand, and everything is up to her." She asked for a bribe from the horse, and the horse gave it twice, and then she didn't want to give it again, so she could only come to see me once every New Year's holiday, have a meal, and say a few words. The colt has always been a stranger to me. ”

"Princess...... Just endure it? ”

"What can be done?"

"Complaint, isn't the emperor the princess's brother?"

"Brother and sister are also separated from each other, so the relationship between Hu Xiaowei's brothers is not very good?"

Hu Guiyang smiled: "The princess really inquired about me, that's right, our brothers used to kill each other, I am a survivor, and my feelings are long gone." ”

"My brother who grew up is like this, how much more about me? I am not the same mother as His Majesty, in the past few years since I left the palace, I only go back to the palace at the beginning of each year, with many people, to see His Majesty and the Queen Mother from afar, and I can't even see anyone, how can I sue? ”

"I see, princess please."

"It's gone."

"Gone?"

"Yes, aren't you investigating the cause of the horse's death? He overdosed and died, and the medicine was brought out from the palace by Mama Li on my behalf, so the blame lies on her, if you want to arrest someone, I won't stop it. ”

Hu Guiyang suddenly realized that the princess had summoned him only to get rid of the annoying old woman around her, and not really held a shocking secret.

He couldn't help but be disappointed, "Just based on the princess's words, you can't catch Mama Li, and if you catch her, the princess will be involved, and the princess's reputation is not good." ”

"Can't you leave me alone? Just say...... Let's just say that the horse bought Mama Li. ”

The princess is still too simple, Hu Guiyang smiled: "It doesn't matter what we say, if we get to prison, Mama Li will definitely tell the truth, and will add fuel and vinegar to put the blame on the princess." ”

"Well, then there is no way, she will suck my blood dry until I die before her."

The princess was pitiful, but Hu Guiyang didn't want to get involved too deeply, "Who did Mama Li get the full pot of spring from?" ”

"I don't know, and she won't tell me. I offered a pair of golden hairpins of mine as a gift, and she agreed to help, but did not reveal anything to me, saying that the princess was not fit to know about these things. ”

The only possible clue was interrupted, and Hu Guiyang did not get any valuable information except for hearing a little "secret news" and not envying the princess and the concubine from now on.

Hu Guiyang was thinking about how to say goodbye, and the princess asked, "Is it lively outside?" ”

"Lively, tonight is the Lantern Festival, and the people have come out to see the lanterns, hasn't the princess seen it?"

"When I was a child, I saw that the people looked at the lights, and we watched the people above, and I thought at that time, it must be very interesting to be crowded in the crowd, but after leaving the palace, it was even more unfree, because the horse died, and Mama Li said that I couldn't have any festivals in a few years, so as to be in line with the identity of the princess."

"It's not that interesting, people are crowded, people are next to people, and you will encounter thieves, walk all night, just look at a few lamp mountains, tired and feet hurt, and pretend to be excited, as if you have seen the royal lights, this year will not be wasted."

The princess chuckled lightly, and before she knew it, her voice became much more natural, "If this word reaches Mama Li's ears, she will impeach you for a great crime of disrespect." ”

"So I'm bold, Mama Li scolded me for a few days, and I didn't see her really go to the palace to complain......" Hu Guiyang's mind suddenly flashed with inspiration, and he felt that this trip was worthwhile, and blurted out: "The princess should go to the palace to complain." ”

"It's useless, there is Mama Li in the middle, I usually can't enter the palace, and I don't have the opportunity to see Your Majesty or the Queen Mother alone, how can I sue?"

"It's not against her, it's against me."

The princess was stunned again, feeling that the people outside were really complicated, and even the "honest man" spoke so incomprehensibly.
