Chapter 23: Fast
Gu Chenghan, who was sleeping, opened his eyes, slowly turned his head to look at the little face close at hand, and his face gradually became strange.
"Miss, Miss, wake up!" Pei'er was so frightened that her legs were weak: "Don't be angry, Lord, Miss didn't mean it, the slave and maid will pull her up." ”
The poison in Gu Chenghan's body had been forced out, and after sleeping peacefully, he only felt refreshed.
He gently took Zhen Chutian's arm, sat up and whispered, "Don't wake her up, you go out first." ”
Pei'er saw that her young lady's legs were still on him, and swallowed hard: "Slave, slave and maid, slave and maid retire." ”
After saying that, she ran out of the main hall in despair, and as soon as she closed the door, she was torn off the stone steps by a hand.
Looking at the strange man dressed in black in front of her, Pei'er was tightly covered before she opened her mouth and screamed.
"I'm Prince Hua's person, but the prince came here yesterday? Where is he going now?" Nightshade pulled her into a corner and looked around in fear.
He searched for the prince all night, and still relied on the traces left by the prince to find here.
Pei'er shook off his hand and said angrily: "The prince is asleep inside, you can wait here!" You must take the prince away as soon as possible, otherwise my young lady's reputation will be ruined. ”
Hearing this, Night Shadow looked inside puzzled: "What do you mean by this?"
"Didn't I understand enough? The prince was poisoned yesterday and was saved by the young lady, and now he has slept in my young lady's boudoir all night, you hurry up and take the prince away, otherwise it will be bad for people to see it!"
Pei'er didn't want to talk about it, but the mother-in-law in the small kitchen was coming to work, and if Prince Hua hadn't left yet, I'm afraid this matter would be exposed.
Who knew that when Night Shadow heard this, her shocked eyes were about to pop out: "You, you, you mean, the prince not only rested here for the night, but also slept with Miss Zhen?"
"Yes." Pei'er nodded heavily: "You let the prince leave." ”
She didn't have the courage to go in and disturb, so she could only let this man in black come.
Nightshadow looked up in a daze, looking at the main hall door for a long time.
Not to mention sharing a bed with a woman, since being targeted, he has faced countless dangers every night, and he has not slept peacefully at night for half a year.
Now that the prince can lie down next to the woman and sleep peacefully, it is a great thing for him.
house.
Zhen Chutian dreamed that there was a big chicken leg when he was hungry, and just as he was about to bite into it, the big chicken leg turned into the face of Tang Meihua's mother and daughter, and she was smiling at her with compassion.
She screamed in fright and slapped it.
Syllable!
The crisp slap sound made her very relieved, but how could this sound be so real? My hand still hurts a little......
Zhen Chutian opened his eyes blankly, facing a pair of eyes full of anger, and the owner of these eyes still had slap prints on his face.
She was stunned for a moment, and then got up from the couch: "You, you, why are you still on my couch?"
"What do you say?" Gu Chenghan grimaced and pointed to one of his legs.
Zhen Chutian was embarrassed and immediately retracted his legs, wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth and jumped down: "You, you hurry up, don't let people see you here." ”
How could she sleep so well! is still drooling without image on this man, it's over, she has no image at all.
Gu Chenghan unhurriedly buttoned up his clothes, turned over and got out of bed, and said calmly: "I've never seen a woman who still snores while sleeping." ”
"You, you're snoring!" Zhen Chutian's face turned red.
Gu Chenghan saw it in his eyes, and couldn't help but hook his lips: "I will remember the detoxification and send the silver over another day." ”
After speaking, he left without looking back, leaving Zhen Chutian alone on the couch stunned.
Before coming to Yunguo, she had never been in love, let alone slept with a man.
Now she not only slept with Gu Chenghan all night, but also snoring and drooling and dishonestly was seen.
It's so embarrassing, she might as well take a piece of tofu and kill herself!
Zhen Chutian wanted to cry without tears, and fell headlong on the couch, not noticing a figure outside the window at all.
However, after a while, Pei'er cautiously pushed the door in, and saw that her young lady was lying on the couch staring, and couldn't help but tentatively say, "Miss, are you okay?"
"Don't tell me about last night, or I'll lose my reputation." Zhen Chutian saw that her face was so strange, and she knew that she must have seen something.
Nothing happened to us. ”
"It's one thing whether it happened or not, it's another thing to be known that Prince Hua is here at night." Mu Qing sat up, yawned and went to the courtyard to sober up.
Anyway, the poison on Gu Chenghan's body... It would be nice to solve it, but she didn't have time to ask why he was so frequently poisoned.
She thought about it carefully, Gu Chenghan's martial arts skills were extremely high, and he was almost invincible all over the world, if someone wanted to harm him, no matter how many killers he sent, he would not be able to do it, and he would know the way to poison and assassinate.
If he lives in a trap every day, Gu Chenghan should be very tired, right?
Zhen Chutian thought about it, and even she didn't notice when she started to worry.
"Miss and the slave maid go to the small kitchen, eat something to cushion your stomach first." Pei'er just wanted this matter to pass quickly, and hurriedly took her out of here.
Outside the house.
Gu Chenghan walked in the alley, walking fast with light skills along the way.
Looking at the back in front of him, Night Shadow was a little speechless and stopped: "Lord, you..... Nothing happened to you and Miss Zhen, did you?"
"What are you doing so much?" Gu Chenghan glanced at him coldly.
Nightshade plucked up the courage to catch up with him, "Didn't you notice? You forgot to put on your tunics. ”
Hearing this, Gu Chenghan's footsteps stopped.
He raised his arm, looked at the white undershirt on his body, and couldn't help but frown: "Don't care, this king will pick it up next time." ”
Zhen Chutian took the account book and went to the account room to work for two hours, but did not find any clues that Tang Meihua had embezzled the money from the public school.
She wondered for a moment, and then she figured out the secret.
A housewife like Tang Meihua, what she is most afraid of is that the housekeeper will make a mistake and disappoint Zhen Yuanshan, even if she wants to embezzle the silver, she will try her best to smooth the account.
She checked in the account room like this, but she couldn't find any clues.
"Miss, why don't we go back first, you should be tired from working for so long." Pell reminded her loudly.
Zhen Chutian looked up at the bookkeeper not far away, and suddenly understood a little in his heart: "Go back." ”
As soon as the two of them came out of the account room, Pei'er said: "The eldest lady has been rampant and domineering in the mansion for so many years, except for the slave maid and the little six beside the adult, I am afraid that these people have long been completely controlled by her, no matter what she does, these people will not reveal half a word."
Zhen Chutian had never asked about the accounts before, even if she was the eldest lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, for these subordinates, the housekeeper was an intruder from outside, and she would never reveal anything about Tang Meihua, but would help hide it.
Pei'er understands this truth, and Zhen Chutian naturally understands it.
She pondered for a moment: "Don't keep an eye on the ledger anymore, since Tang Meihua is relieved to hand over the power of the housekeeper, it means that she has taken precautions a long time ago, for fear that she will take a wrong step and be taken back from the power of the housekeeper." ”
"So what do we do next?" Pei'er pushed open the courtyard door, and as soon as she took her in, she saw a large number of people in the courtyard.
Seeing that they came in without permission, Zhen Chutian suddenly frowned unhappily: "What are you doing here?"
I don't know that I thought they were having a tea party here, one by two facing the main hall, as if they were peeping, and when everyone saw her appear, they immediately showed strange and disdainful expressions, and talked in a low voice.
Hearing the word man faintly in their discussions, Zhen Chutian was shocked, and immediately pushed away a few people around him and ran to the main hall.
In the main hall, Zhen Yuanshan sat on the Taishi chair, looking at the man's robe on the ground without saying a word, while Zhen Yue next to him stood obediently, blocking the light smile on his face with a handkerchief.
Seeing the clothes on the ground, Pei'er's face suddenly turned pale.
She knew that Prince Hua would get into trouble for her young lady by staying here overnight, so she forgot her robe here.
How good is that?
Zhen Chutian's eyes flashed slightly, and he stepped forward and saluted a little helplessly: "See father." ”
"Sister, what did you do last night?" Zhen Yue looked at her worriedly, but her voice was so loud that the whole courtyard could hear it: "Why do you have men's clothes in your house?"
"It's not in Miss's house, someone must have wronged Miss." Pei'er immediately stood in front of Zhen Chutian, and confidently refuted that since these days, she has learned to argue with Zhen Chutian, and at this moment, in order to protect her own young lady, she has to stand up and say this.
Zhen Yue immediately waved her hand to the mother-in-law outside the door: "This mother-in-law belongs to your small kitchen, today I saw such a robe in the back room with my own eyes, and ran to tell me, I just brought my father over to find out, you maid still dare to quibble!"
Hearing this, Zhen Chutian couldn't help but purse his lips.
This robe was indeed left by Gu Chenghan, and when these people found it, she couldn't tell it clearly, not to mention that Zhen Yuanshan also came in and saw all this with her own eyes.
She froze and said word by word: "Didn't any man leave the coat in the back room, do you dare to talk nonsense if you find out?"
Zhen Yue pointed to the back room: "This is what my father and I saw with our own eyes on the couch inside, you can't deny it." ”
"Really? What if someone puts it in my house beforehand? Only Pei'er can enter my back room, how can the mother-in-law of a small kitchen find out that there are men's clothes in the back room for no reason? She clearly wanted to frame her on purpose!" Zhen Chutian immediately retorted, his face was solemn at any time.
She knew that once Zhen Yuanshan believed in this matter, her situation would be very dangerous, so she had to fight for it now.
Look at her righteous appearance. Zhen Yuanshan slowly got up and walked around beside the clothes: "The clothes are high-quality silk, which can't be bought in ordinary embroidery workshops, and it must be an unusual noble man who can have it, even if the mother-in-law wants to wronged you, she can't get such clothes." ”
When he said this, he raised his head and asked in a cold voice: "No matter how the mother-in-law finds out about the things in the back room, you have to tell the truth, what the hell is going on!"
There were more and more people in the courtyard, but Zhen Yuanshan had no intention of letting them leave.
He knew that today's matter must be asked in public, otherwise people will speculate in private, and this matter will spread sooner or later.
Zhen Chutian took a deep breath: "Father......
The clothes were discovered by them together, if she didn't admit it or made excuses, as long as Zhen Yuanshan sent someone to check the embroidery workshop that made this clothes, her and Gu Chenghan's reputation would be ruined.
Even if she had the intention to ruin this family affair through Gu Chenghan, it was completely different from letting Gu Mo retreat from the difficulty.
If the emperor knew about this and didn't know how to punish him, they would also become a joke in the capital.
It seems that no matter what, I can't deny that I haven't seen this dress today.
Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian was just about to step forward and kneel on the ground, when he saw Pei'er kneeling down first.
"Don't ask Miss anymore, it was the slave who brought the clothes in, the slave went to the street yesterday to buy, and met a noble boy who was buying jewelry for his mother, and the two coats were placed next to him."
Pei'er knelt on the ground, looking very serious: "The slave maid saw that the clothes were valuable, and she became evil for a while, so she wanted to exchange the clothes for silver, and the young lady didn't know at all!"
