After the three princesses left, Shuangrui, who was waiting on the side, suddenly said, "Shizi, if you don't agree to the conditions of the three princesses, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the lady to explain."

Gu Yu put one hand on the seat, his index finger began to beat regularly, and his eyes were like ancient ponds that were bottomless, "The world is impermanent, the good and the bad are the blessings and misfortunes, and the future will be clear, who can say clearly?" ”

No one saw a bright yellow shadow quietly leaving from behind the bamboo forest.

Two hours later, news came from the mansion that the prince of Yiguo had found conclusive evidence of Chu Shangshu's leakage in Shangshu Mansion, and the Chu family and others were pressed into prison to wait for interrogation.

Chu Ci sat on the stone bench with a butt, feeling a pain in his heart, "Chen Nian can see clearly, it was Gu Yu who personally led someone to seize the Chu family?" ”

"Yes, madam, Chen Nian really saw it, that's right" Mo Qi and Mo Shu looked at each other, and they didn't dare to take a breath, the prince led someone to raid the Yue family, and the news was simply explosive.

"Where's Grandmother?" Chu Ci couldn't wait to give birth to four legs, go to the Chu family to see in person, or ask Gu Yu what he meant, yesterday he promised to give Chu Shangshu an innocence, but today he was convicted, and he didn't even want to find someone to tell her.

Or rather, he couldn't trust her.

Gu Yu felt that he would favor the Chu family and embarrass him, so he cut first and then played.

"Let's go, go back to Chu's house" Chu Ci was flustered in his heart, his grandmother didn't know how to do it now, where could she sit still.

There was a row of guards standing around Shangshu Mansion, and in front of the door, Mrs. Chu was protecting her pregnant daughter-in-law like a hen guarding her cubs, and several well-colored aunts were squatting in the corner, no one dared to come forward.

The head of the criminal department Shangshu squinted and saw the comer, a young man in a brocade robe, with black hair and a jade crown, and bent down to salute at the moment, "I have seen the three princes"

The third prince smiled lightly, his eyes seemed to have a streamer crossing, swept the book of the criminal department, and fell on Gu Yu, the meaning was unknown, but there was a faint fear "This king still doesn't know that Gu Shizi is actually a righteous murderer, even the Yue family said that if you copy the family, you will copy the family, no wonder your father and the emperor respect you very much, and always say that Gu Shizi is loyal, and this king can see it today."

"The third prince praises falsely, fraud in the imperial examination is a major national event, anyone who violates the law for personal gain, Yu, will never let go" Gu Yu rubbed the wrench on his index finger with one hand, and looked at the person next to him with a smile and changed his face slightly, "What do the three princes think?" ”

"What Gu Shizi said is that my father, Emperor Longen, ordered you and me to try this case, for the sake of my father, for the sake of those students who are locked up in prison, this king is bound to investigate this case and arrest a criminal and other criminals" The third prince was full of a sense of justice, and he looked up to the sky and said something, secretly annoyed in his heart Gu Yu's ignorance of promotion, but he was armed.

Shangshu touched the beard at the corner of his mouth, ignoring the quarrel in front of him.

Chu Ci came to Chu's house in a carriage, and the two seals at the gate were clearly displayed, and the Shangshu Mansion, which was prosperous in the past, was a little decadent at the moment.

At the gate stood a woman in red with a hat, "Father, mother, don't blame me for being unkind, you chose to abandon me first, I became like this, it was all because of you"

Chu Hua walked in with two maids and four guards behind him, only to find that the woman with the hat was Chu Hua.

"You're here" Chu Hua stretched out a Rouyi under the gauze, and a string of Buddha beads lay down.

"Grandmother is in your hands" Chu Ci's pupils shrank, and the Buddha bead grandmother had worn it for decades and had never taken it off.

"Don't worry, as long as you are obedient and obedient, grandmother will live well, but if you are disobedient, what will happen to grandmother, I don't know" Chu Hua turned his wrist, as if for the life and death of the old lady, it was just a matter of one sentence.

Chu Ci turned his head, couldn't help but be silent for a moment, and then asked, "What do you want?" ”

"Hahaha, Chu Ci, don't worry, we sisters haven't seen each other for a long time, let's chat first, I recently learned something about the son, do you want to hear it" Chu Hua lifted the corner of his hat slightly, just to see Chu Ci's expression of loss and failure.

Who made her laugh so happy, it really made people want to tear it apart.

"It turns out that Gu Shizi and the third princess came on a bamboo horse, went around the bed to make green plums, the two were happy with each other, and promised each other for life, what a beautiful relationship, it is really enviable"

"Do you know why the third princess likes to play chess? Her chess was taught by Gu Shizi, do you really think that Gu Shizi really loves you, there is a painting hanging in his study, the east is not dawning, the moonlight is like frost, don't you think that the way you smile is similar to the three princesses? ”

Chu Ci didn't know that there was really a story here, and when he thought of the framed calligraphy and painting in the study, he was slightly stunned.

But this look fell on Chu Hua's eyes, making her feel indescribably happy, and with a slight movement of lotus steps, she walked towards Chu Ci, and looked at Chu Ci from top to bottom with a pair of beautiful eyes with a sneering and playful smile.

Chu Hua put one hand on her shoulder, leaned forward slightly and leaned into her ear, completely looking like a sister's whispering intimacy, but he opened his mouth in a volume that he couldn't even hear clearly, and whispered: "He weaved a big lie, in fact, he doesn't love you at all, you are just a stand-in, I saw him hook up with the third princess with my own eyes, my poor sister-in-law, it's really miserable."

"Are you done?" Chu Ci came back to his senses and opened the palm on his shoulder.

Chu Hua smiled like a flower, gently patted Chu Ci on the shoulder, and said in a comforting tone, "As long as you find the token and seal that Gu Shizi hid in the study, grandmother will return to you safe and sound."

"Sister, you know, grandmother loves you the most, you have to do it as soon as possible, sister is waiting for you" Chu Hua let out a bad breath in his heart, the backlog of haze was swept away, and he was in a very happy mood, planning to find someone to have a few drinks to celebrate.

In front of the Chu Mansion, Chu Ci pinched the Buddha beads in his hand and forced herself to throw Gu Yu and the Third Imperial Concubine out of her mind, she knew that the token could master His Majesty's secret guard, and Chu Hua wanted the token and the private seal of Yiguo Gong, what did she want to do, or what did the people behind her want the secret guard to do?

She believed that it was impossible for her father's personality to leak the question, but Gu Yu found evidence in his study, where did this evidence come from, and who planted it for her father, a political enemy?

All the things piled up, as if a black mist in front of her surrounded her impenetrable, Chu Ci's head was about to explode, and Moshu walked from behind the carriage, "Madam, when the eldest lady came to open just now, Qiushuang suddenly stuffed me with a piece of paper"

In the prison of the Criminal Department, several weak scholars were imprisoned in the cell, and one after another students were taken out for trial, until in the middle of the night, the guards patrolled the night, and only then did they find that nearly ten students in the cell fell to the ground and could not bear the "no, dead people"

Dozens of students died in the prison of the Criminal Department, the bodies were placed in one place, and after an autopsy, these people were all poisoned to death, because the cells were different, and it was obvious that the person who attacked the attack had an accurate target and was fatal with one blow.

Such a thing happened under the nose, and the remaining students were panicked, and the trouble in the cell became more and more noisy, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department summoned the three princes overnight and Gu Shizi to jointly try the case.

Miao Tang Courtyard, Gu Yu did not return overnight.

Late at night, Chu Ci sat quietly on the couch and said, "Moshu, how do you say the prince treats me?" ”

The ink book that gnawed on the fruit poked out a head from behind the screen, "Then it goes without saying that the prince is sincere to our young lady, and others don't look at it, who among the noble ladies of the family doesn't envy our young lady?"

"Usually your clothes and accessories are in charge of me and Moqi, since I got married, all of them were taken care of by the prince, Miss embroidered the lotus bag last time, the prince never let you take a needle and thread, Miss likes fish, the prince specially found several koi fish and put them in the lotus pond......"

Listening to Moshu's endless talk, Chu Ci suddenly thought of what his grandmother said that day: "In the future, no matter what difficulties you encounter, solve them and don't run away."

Although Chu Ci was jealous and jealous of Gu Yu and the third princess, she knew more clearly that the unknown enemy was staring at the Gu family now, and she was planning to use her as a breakthrough point.

She is not stupid, let alone stupid, if she fights with Gu Yu because of her jealousy, wouldn't it make her relatives bitter and enemies happy.

After such a big incident happened in the Chu family, when Gu Yu was running around day and night to search for evidence, Chu Ci found that what she could do was really pitiful, she was angry that she was incapable of protecting her grandmother, let alone standing by Gu Yu's side and helping him.

"Hey~, madam, it's late at night, why are you going?" Mo Qi saw that Mrs. suddenly turned over, and the clothes that had just been removed from the hanger were put on her body again, "There really isn't much I can do, just a little, as long as I can save my grandmother, as long as I can help him, I will spare no effort to do it."

In the bronze mirror, Chu Ci's weakness hit by Chu Hua disappeared in an instant, and the perseverance and tenacity between his eyebrows and eyes were like a cluster of thorn flowers blooming in the mountains, no matter what wind and rain he experienced, he could continue to grow tenaciously.

"Go to the study" Chu Ci took out the red envelope that her father gave her on the second day of the wedding, which contained a key, a key that could open Yiguo Gong's study.

Seeing his wife walk away, Mo Qi hurriedly chased after him with a lantern.

In the dark courtyard, the wind passed without a trace, leaving only the rustle of the bamboo forest.

With a "click", Chu Ci opened the door of the study, which was full of books on Chinese studies and a bookcase full of folds.

Chu Ci carefully observed the environment in the study, and finally saw a mechanism in the corner of the desk "found"

The bookcase opened a dark grid, and there was a cylinder wall inside, as well as a few pieces of thin paper on the bookcase, the handwriting on it was obviously Gu Yu's, all of which were about the investigation of the fraud case in the imperial examination.

Time passed minute by minute, the night dissipated, the morning light fell in the study, the girl on the bookcase supported her head with one hand, very sleepy, and her head was about to smash on the cold and hard desk little by little.

But was caught in the air by a pair of big hands, Gu Yu just came back from the palace, the chill on her body made the girl shrink for a moment, and skillfully retracted into the warm embrace, "You didn't go home all night, I miss you"

Gu Yu opened Chu Ci's investigation last night and raised his eyebrows.
