383 Secret Revealed (2nd Update)
He was not born when the first emperor died, but he once followed the emperor to visit Concubine Jing in the nunnery.
At that time, he was still young, and he didn't know what he had accidentally seen, and it wasn't until he was older that he realized that it was a holy decree, and from the content it looked like a holy decree left by the first emperor.
He didn't mention it to anyone.
When I was a child, I didn't mention it because I didn't understand it, and when I grew up, I didn't mention it because I felt that the matter was too serious, and I was afraid of bringing disaster to the Hou Mansion.
Not long after he got the holy decree, he was poisoned near Renshou Palace.
He has never put these two things together, and even when he is older, he doesn't feel that they can have anything to do with each other.
As for why he didn't suspect Concubine Jing's intention to steal the holy decree, because if it was him, he would do the same.
But he thought that there should be a pimple in his heart, otherwise, he would not have prevented Gu Jiao from going to the nunnery outside the palace to treat Concubine Jing.
Perhaps, Concubine Jing had already discovered that he had seen the Holy Decree, so she poisoned him.
is not only to frame the Empress Dowager Zhuang, but also to kill people and kill people.
After he luckily picked up a life, both Xuanping Hou and Princess Xinyang strengthened their protection for him, and Concubine Jing had no way to start until-
"Hey, why didn't you talk all of a sudden? You can't be stupid, right? Gu Chengfeng shook his hand in front of his eyes, "Where is this?" ”
Xiao Liulang came back to his senses: "No, I'm just thinking about what you just said." ”
That day, he went to the teacher next door to find him, and heard the teacher and Gu Changqing mention Princess Xinyang, and the teacher said that he had something to ask Princess Xinyang, but he didn't hear much, and he didn't expect it to be about the holy decree.
He thought he was asking Concubine Jing.
Gu Chengfeng didn't know that he was thinking about the holy decree, and he was shocked by the fact that Concubine Jing drugged the emperor like himself: "Until she was vicious, but I didn't expect her to do it to Your Majesty, right?" Tiger poison doesn't eat children, she's ......"
Gu Chengfeng suddenly found that he couldn't find the words to describe this old witch, he pursed his lips and snorted: "It's really difficult to be the queen mother all these years, Your Majesty and her didn't have to come this far...... However, I heard that His Majesty's medicine was about to expire, so the old witch went to find someone to buy the medicine again. I don't know that she has recently drugged His Majesty and has not ......"
Gu Jiao is the person at the top of the news pyramid, Gu Chengfeng can be ranked second, and he still doesn't know that Concubine Jing has given the emperor the wrong medicine.
But maybe soon he won't even be in second place.
Xiao Liulang paused and said, "Wait a minute, I'll send Jiaojiao a letter back." ”
Gu Chengfeng's face darkened.
I brought you something to eat, and you have to write her back!
When he dies one day, he must have been soured to death by these two people!
Xiao Liulang wrote a note to Gu Chengfeng, folded it and put it in the purse that Gu Jiao gave him.
He didn't take any secrecy measures, first, he trusted Gu Jiao's vision, Gu Jiao could let Gu Chengfeng come over, which meant that Gu Chengfeng was his own person; Second, Gu Chengfeng can go and go freely under the noses of Gongyuan and Long Yingwei, and it is impossible to have no ability. No matter how tightly he seals it, Gu Chengfeng can see it if he wants to.
"Okay, then I'll go on another trip, I was going to go back to the Hou Mansion after I delivered you food." Gu Chengfeng accepted the purse, and when it came to eating, he swept his eyes at the dim sum on the table, the girl was not good-looking, but the dim sum was very exquisite.
"Thank you." Xiao Liulang thanked him sincerely.
"If you sincerely thank me, give me a piece of your snack." Gu Chengfeng said.
"No." Xiao Liulang ruthlessly refused.
Gu Chengfeng: "......"
Gu Chengfeng performed light skills and walked out of the Tribute Courtyard, because of the fire in his heart, he went to Bishui Hutong and didn't even show up, and directly threw the purse that Xiao Liulang asked him to bring back on Gu Jiao's windowsill.
Gu Jiao didn't have to guess to know that Gu Chengfeng brought it over.
Gu Jiao threw the medicine bottle into the air.
Sure enough, Gu Chengfeng caught the hair growth agent with a neat turn.
He landed in front of Gu Jiao's window and said angrily: "Just throw it like this!" Don't be afraid to give it to the wrong person! Hum! ”
After that, he carried Gu Chengfeng's medicine into the endless night.
Gu Jiao took out the note in her purse - you know the content of the holy decree, don't act rashly, wait for me to come back.
When she saw the first two sentences, Gu Jiao's heart didn't have any waves, but when she read the last sentence, the corners of her lips curved slightly in a beautiful arc.
"Wait for me to come back......" Gu Jiao read the last four words, propped her elbows on the windowsill, and looked into the distance with her cheeks propped up.
Why are you a little happy?
The corners of Gu Jiao's upturned lips couldn't be suppressed.
"Hey!"
Gu Chengfeng suddenly came back again, hanging the golden hook upside down from the beam, his head hanging outside Gu Jiao's window, and Gu Jiao almost face to face.
The difference is that Gu Jiao's face is positive, and his face is upside down.
Gu Jiao looked at this uninvited guest who ruined the atmosphere: "What are you doing?" ”
Gu Chengfeng said: "I forgot to tell you something, your Xianggong was poisoned in the Gongyuan. ”
Gu Jiao's expression turned cold.
"Fortunately, I went early and ...... in time"
Before Gu Chengfeng finished speaking, Gu Jiao had already jumped out with one hand on the windowsill.
Gu Chengfeng was dumbfounded: "Uh...... I haven't said anything about it yet. ”
With Gu Jiao's current skills, there is no big problem in sneaking into the Tribute Academy, although the Tribute Academy is large, the layout is simple, and the invigilator lives in Jingyi Pavilion all the time.
Xiao Liulang had just finished washing, wearing only a thin undershirt, he put out the oil lamp on the table and was about to fall asleep, but someone knocked on the door gently.
"Who?" Xiao Liulang came to the door, removed the deadbolt, and gently opened the door.
Outside the door was not a colleague, but a petite figure dressed in black, wearing a fancy mask.
A pair of eyes under the mask, like the light of a heavenly river, have been shining to the most gloomy place in his heart.
He looked at her in a daze, and also looked at herself in a daze in her pupils, and forgot to react for a while.
"You two, go over there!"
Not far away, the voice of the guard sounded.
Xiao Liulang hurriedly stretched out his hand, dragged the person in, and crashed into his arms, he held her with one hand, and quickly closed the door with the other.
Almost as soon as he bolted the door, the guards outside the door arrived.
"You two, go over there and have a look, you two are looking in this courtyard, you come with me!"
"Yes!"
Gu Jiao was tightly held in Xiao Liulang's arms, she didn't move, and looked at him with big eyes.
Xiao Liulang raised his index finger and gently placed it on his lips.
Gu Jiao understood.
Don't speak, she understands!
"Ahh
But I didn't hold back my sneezing!
The masks are all crooked!
"What a move!"
A guard walked towards Xiao Liulang's house.
"It's me." Xiao Liulang said in a normal tone.
"It's so late, hasn't Lord Xiao slept yet?" The guard asked outside the door.
Xiao Liulang hugged Gu Jiao and didn't dare to move a step: "I fell asleep, but I just woke you up again." ”
"I'm sorry." The guard outside the door arched his hand, "It was our brother who found a fainting guard near the kitchen, it seems that he has fainted for a long time, I don't know if there is any thief sneaking in, we are in the Gongyuan are ordered to search, and please bear with Lord Xiao." ”
Gu Jiao took off the crooked mask, and was hugged tightly by him, and she couldn't pull away, so she simply buried her little head in his arms.
Xiao Liulang's heart moved, his breathing became heavier, he calmed down, and said, "I haven't heard any movement here, you should hurry up and take a look at your lords." ”
"Yes." The guard responded.
"Big brother, I didn't find it here."
"Not there."
"Let's go!"
The guards left Jingyi Pavilion one after another, Xiao Liulang listened carefully to their footsteps, and made sure that the last guard had also walked away, and the surroundings became quiet again.
However, Xiao Liulang didn't move, and neither did Gu Jiao.
There was no palm lamp in the room, only a thin moonlight that shone indisputably through the window paper, and there was almost no light.
The night is quiet.
He hugged her, breathing in each other's ears and the sound of his own hearts beating.
"I didn't knock out that guard, I didn't hit anyone."
Gu Jiao said.
"Hmm." Xiao Liulang replied vaguely, gently letting go of the arm holding her, the night covering the crimson of his cheeks, "Why are you here so late?" ”
"Gu Chengfeng said that someone poisoned you." When Gu Jiao said this, her fingertips had already caught his pulse.
"I didn't eat it." Xiao Liulang said, "The guard who fainted should be the one who brought me dinner in the first place." ”
"The pulse is fine." Gu Jiao asked, "Is the drugged food still there?" ”
Xiao Liulang came to the table in a dark way, took out a fire fold and lit the oil lamp: "Take it away, I left a little green onion that was drugged." ”
As he spoke, he took out a small porcelain vase from his baggage.
Gu Jiao poured out the green onions in it, and after checking it carefully, her face sank: "It's arsenic." ”
Someone actually gave her husband arsenic!
Her little fists mean they're itchy!
Xiao Liulang looked at her fierce little expression, and he couldn't hold back and smiled.
He raised his hand and gently rubbed the top of her hair: "I'm fine, I didn't hit this time, the other party should have guessed that it was exposed, and he won't make another move in a short time." ”
At least not in the Gongyuan again.
"That's what you're here in the middle of the night?"
It seemed to him that this was a trivial matter, and from the moment he returned to the capital, he had already expected that the front was full of thorns.
"I'll find the killer." Gu Jiao said seriously.
"Okay." Xiao Liulang smiled slightly and stroked the handful of picky hairs on the top of her head that were blown up by the wind.
It's strange that he wouldn't do such a thing before.
They have always been in the name of husband and wife, but there is no intersection between husband and wife, more like guests living under one roof, they have their own territory, and they do not interfere with each other.
What was it that started that their boundaries began to blur? Their plans are also starting to involve each other?
Xiao Liulang lowered his head and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?" Gu Jiao asked.
"Nope." Xiao Liulang shook his head.
It's just a little bit unbearable.
As for what he was laughing at, he seemed to know, but he didn't seem to know.
"By the way, what exactly is written on Concubine Jing's holy decree?" Gu Jiao skipped the question of how do you know the content of the holy decree.
Xiao Liulang seemed to finally understand what he was laughing at, he was happy.
With her, he never seemed to have to worry about her asking questions that would embarrass him, and of course he wouldn't bother to inquire about what she didn't want to respond to.
It's not careful enough to understand each other, it's the nature of each other's personalities, and it's a natural tacit understanding.
Xiao Liulang said: "That is the holy decree left by the first emperor before his death, and it wrote very important things. ”
It's light to say that it's important, and it can almost shock the dynasty.
Gu Jiao asked, "Is it related to my aunt?" ”
Xiao Liulang nodded: "Yes." ”
I think it's also related to my aunt, otherwise I wouldn't have been used as a killer by Concubine Jing for so many years.
Gu Jiao continued to speculate: "Is it the first emperor who agrees with his aunt to listen to the government?" ”
If the first emperor agreed, then the aunt would not have to suffer so much criticism, and Concubine Jing's holding of this holy decree in her hand undoubtedly brought great obstacles to the aunt's regent.
Xiao Liulang shook his head: "No." ”
Gu Jiao changed the direction of her guess: "That is, let my aunt not interfere with the court?" ”
"Not really." Xiao Liulang shook his head again.
Gu Jiao sighed strangely: "It can't really be a holy decree for my aunt to give the first emperor a funeral, right?" ”
Xiao Liulang was silent.
As soon as Gu Jiao saw him like this, she had an answer in her heart.
The holy decree made by the first emperor before his death really made his aunt be martyred!
In this way, Gu Jiao was even more puzzled: "However, why did Concubine Jing keep a holy decree for her aunt to be martyred?" She was so incompatible with her aunt that she couldn't deal with it quickly, why did she hide the holy decree? ”
Xiao Liulang's eyes became deeper little by little: "Because the holy decree is ...... There was not only one concubine who was martyred for the first emperor, but also Concubine Jing. ”
