Gu Jiu had no way of knowing this answer, she sighed, but was slightly stunned.

Qin Zheng didn't know when he arrived in the courtyard, and he was being held by Gu Nianlan.

The little girl looked up and said something, and he also squatted down to meet her eye level, and the sunlight fell on the two of them, and the scene seemed to be extremely harmonious.

Such a gentle and popular Qin Zheng.

It was something she had never seen before.

But these days of getting along made her realize that this is the real Qin Zheng.

It's not the prince of the Ming Kingdom who is as cold as a 10,000-year-old cold pool, nor is it the Dali Siqing who the world hears of like a rakshasa, he is just Qin Zheng.

Only when he was weak was crowned, he took on a heavy responsibility, and Yu Yu walked alone in the bright and dark nights, but in this long night of eternity, he took himself as a guide to illuminate a beam of light.

Under the layers of cold shell, there is a young man with a gentle nature.

Gu Jiu's eyes were moist for no reason, and he immediately took a deep breath and walked out with his feet raised.

"Shizi."

Qin Zheng looked back at her and saw that the girl's eyes were bright, and her eyebrows and eyes were sparkling, as if she had captured thousands of flowers.

He suddenly lost his voice, and after a while, he chuckled, "Hmm." ”

It was clear that Gu Jiu had a thousand words for a moment, but in the end, it just became a sentence: "Let's go after eating?" ”

When he returned in the morning, the smell of blood on his body was still there, and his eyes were full of exhaustion; Now I have no rest and have gone through such an ordeal.

Gu Jiu knew that he should have a good rest, but he also knew his character, since he said that he had something to do in the afternoon, he would inevitably finish it.

So, she only kept him for one meal.

Hearing this, Qin Zheng was stunned, and inexplicably saw a little distress in her eyes.

"Okay."

After Qin Zheng's nod and promise, Gu Jiu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Then you go to sleep first, and I'll call you when the meal is ready?" ”

It took half a circle, but it turned out to be for this.

Qin Zheng suddenly laughed lowly.

The little girl's heart is too simple, and her joys, sorrows, and sorrows are written on her face, and together with her feelings for him, it is clear and clear.

He stood up, his tall body shrouded him, and Gu Jiu suddenly felt that he was a little shorter first.

From looking down to looking up, what hasn't changed is the gentle smile in the man's eyebrows.

As if many invisible burdens had been lifted in an instant, his voice carried a doting touch that he had not even noticed: "Yes, ma'am." ”

The last two words, Qin Zheng read infinitely.

Gu Jiu's face was slightly red, and before she could react, she saw that Qin Zheng had already entered the room.

She couldn't help but look back at his back, only to see that the man was long and tall like a pine.

Even after tossing for a long time, his momentum is still like a green pine, not bending or bending.

Gu Jiu's curved lips chuckled for no reason, the corners of her upturned lips couldn't be suppressed, she simply didn't hide it, turned around and went towards the kitchen: "Baizhu, I'll go to Chang'an Building later, order a few light dishes, and the prince will have dinner here at noon." ”

……

Qin Zheng only slept for half an hour before waking up.

The kitchen had already prepared the meal, but it was only him and Gu Jiu who ate it.

Zhuangzi was too tired and had fallen asleep, Lin had not woken up yet, and several children followed the grandmother to eat in the main room spaciously, and the people were in the kitchen.

After a sleep, Qin Zheng's spirit was much better, because there was still something to do in the afternoon, although the person who was eating in front of him was Gu Jiu, he only made a little hastily, so he opened his mouth first: "I'll go first." ”

Gu Jiu knew that he was in a hurry, so he gave Qin Zheng the snacks and pills he had prepared earlier, and instructed, "The prince can be prepared for emergencies." ”

Qin Zheng entered Dali Temple, he was used to coming and going, but it was the first time that someone had prepared something for him, which made his heart soft, and he couldn't say anything if he refused.

"Okay."

It's just that the tenderness only lasts until you go out, and when you can enter the Dali Temple, you will be the iron-faced Dali Temple again.

"Your Excellency."

When Jiang Daochen saw him coming, he immediately greeted him, handed him the confession that had just been interrogated, and said in a deep voice: "This is what we found out by touching the vine, please take a look." ”

Qin Zheng took it as he said, and when he saw the end, he lowered his eyes and sneered.

What a bonus.

"Arrest someone."

Hearing Qin Zheng's instructions, Jiang Daochen rarely hesitated, and said: "Here, in addition to the two six-grade, there is also one from the fourth-grade, without arresting people from the saint, in case ......."

Qin Zheng didn't care, he just said: "I will bear all the consequences." ”

Dali Temple naturally does not have this permission, but the Eighteen Guards of the Heavenly Wolf does.

And he is the leader of the Sky Wolf Guard!

After Qin Zheng's words, Jiang Daochen suddenly looked solemn and responded respectfully: "Yes!" ”

After Jiang Daochen went, Qin Zheng closed the confession, returned to his seat and sat down, reaching out and pinching his eyebrows.

Last night, Bai Wuyuan brought him a clue, but it also gave him a problem.

Use the lives of people who collude with the Red Lotus Sect to exchange the peace of Chunxiao.

Before the authenticity was decided, Qin Zheng naturally would not throw out his hole cards first, and the result of the tug-of-war between the two was that Bai Wuyuan surrendered first.

In the end, he is a smart man, that is, he lowered his head first, but he also said it around the bend.

This person has a tough heart and a furrow in his chest, Qin Zheng does not dare to underestimate the other party.

Even if the things that came out of the vine this night were enough for him to give the saint an errand, he didn't dare to be careless.

Who knows, if Bai Wuyuan will dig a hole for himself in this?

When he thought of this, he saw Zheng Huailuo walk in and said in a deep voice: "My lord, look at this." ”

Last night, according to the clues revealed by the old beggar who was caught, Qin Zheng caught a group of people, but several of them had their own flaws, either deaf or mute, or blind.

Partial births all have their own merits.

Interrogation is Zheng Huailuo's strength, although it took a lot of twists and turns, in the end, he pry open their mouths, but this final result made him a little frightened: "What should we do now?" ”

Those people all confessed to a totem, which is also consistent with the old Taoist totem of Chungeng's assassination of the emperor, which is enough to prove that this is the person who responded.

It's just that......

In addition to this totem, there is another seal among these people.

And that seal belongs to the Xue family.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, whether it is the royal family or officials, they have their own totem seals, which cannot be copied by others.

And people who are not close to them do not know what this carved pattern is, except for the master, only the dead guards raised by the family know.

However, there are exceptions to everything.

For example, the Heavenly Wolf Guard and the Dali Temple ordered by the emperor, secrets that outsiders do not know, are like taking light from the day here.

"Interesting."

Qin Zheng looked at the reproduced seal, evoked a sneer, and said slowly: "Bai Wuyuan sent me three official families, but they sent them directly to the Xue family. ”

The three courtiers involved in it are not known because they have not yet been arrested; But this Xue family is extraordinary.

"My lord, why don't we report it. Check it down further, Dali Temple can be more decent! ”

When Zheng Huailuo said this, his expression was also a little worried.

The Xue family is not another one, but the Dingguo Mansion.

When he supported his ascension to the throne today, he had a contribution to the Xue family.

Among the four sons of the saint who have reached adulthood, the second prince, Shangguan Mu, was born to Concubine Liang, the biological daughter of Dingguo Gong.

The queen died early, and there was nothing to do in the middle palace, and now the harem is governed by the two concubines of Liang and De, and the two gave birth to two princes and three princes respectively.

The eldest prince is a cripple, and his biological mother's status is low, so he is naturally excluded.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that the most promising ones are the second prince and the third prince. 186 Chinese Network

Without him, the second prince and the mother concubine, and the good concubine came from the Dingguo Mansion. And above the court, half of the protégés returned to the Xue family; The three princes and concubines, Concubine De is from Prince Li's mansion, but it is the first palace with a different surname in the founding of Western Chu, and Concubine De and the emperor's childhood sweetheart are more affectionate.

The two princes looked at each other unpleasantly and secretly, and the emperor was in the heyday of the Spring and Autumn Period, and no one dared to really do anything in the open.

Now, however, there has been an accident.

During spring ploughing, an old Taoist priest crossed the layers of protection and almost assassinated the current saint.

Dali Temple has been peeling off the cocoon for a month, and the clues found now point to the Xue family of Dingguo Gong.

If this is a coincidence, Qin Zheng doesn't believe it.

Not only did he not believe it, but Zheng Huailuo also did not believe it.

It's one thing to believe it or not, but it's another thing to check it.

Seeing Qin Zheng twisting his eyebrows and thinking, Zheng Huailuo was a little anxious for a while, because he said softly: "My lord, we are enough to make a difference now, and the others have their own saints, but if we continue to investigate, it will not be worth it to make a fuss again." ”

He is sincerely thinking about Qin Zheng, these things are contaminated and there is no good result, if it is ordered by the saint, it is impossible to avoid it, but if it is all checked in advance, what if it is not good to go back to the saint?

That's the Dingguo Mansion.

Hearing this, Qin Zheng sneered and said, "I know." ”

The confession was confessed by someone from the Red Lotus Sect, and it involved the Dingguo Mansion, if it was convicted, it would mean that the Xue family was involved with the Red Lotus Sect.

The past of more than 20 years ago is still in front of me, but anyone who is a little older knows that the emperor will not tolerate the Red Lotus Sect, let alone condone those related to it.

So, what will happen to the Dingguo Mansion?

Qin Zheng wiped away the coldness in his eyebrows and eyes, and said lightly: "Who do you want to dump, it's none of my business." It's a pity that the most hated thing in my life is to use me as a gunman! ”

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Huailuo was also slightly stunned, and instantly understood what he meant, and asked, "My lord, what ...... Do I continue to check? ”

Seeing him like this, Qin Zheng glanced at him and asked, "Otherwise, I'll do it for you?" ”

After Qin Zheng's words, Zheng Huailuo instantly stood up straight, and the chicken shook his head pecked: "My subordinates don't dare, I'll go!" ”

He slipped away, while Qin Zheng leaned back in the chair and slowly pinched his eyebrows.

He didn't close his eyes all night last night, and when he was in the plum garden this morning, he didn't show any tired expression from beginning to end because he was afraid that Gu Jiu would be worried.

However, the little girl was so deaf and clear that she didn't pierce him, but she found an almost naïve excuse and let him sleep for half an hour.

Although it was relieved in the end, the fatigue was still like maggots.

Qin Zheng closed his eyes and took a nap, but after taking another tea break, he heard a knock outside the door: "My lord." ”

Qin Zheng opened his eyes, there was no sleepiness in his heart, and he was full of clarity: "Come in." ”

Immediately, someone pushed the door in, but it was Jiang Daochen: "My lord, everyone has been brought back, but do you want to interrogate now?" ”

After receiving his words, Qin Zheng stood up, his eyebrows and eyes were cold: "Well, I'll go in person." ”

……

In the next two days, Qin Zheng did not return home.

The Ming Guogong Mansion was already in chaos, the old lady Qin fell ill and was unable to manage the affairs of the house, the second and third rooms took this opportunity to compete for the right to steward, but it was the most qualified big house to stay out of the matter - it would not be possible if they did not stay out of the matter, the Lin family was sick and went out to see a doctor, Fang Qing was the poisoner and was kicked out of the house, and Gu Jiu was too lazy to manage these things.

Now that the big house is like a transparent person in their eyes, Gu Jiu is too lazy to fight for this mess of bad debts, so he simply looks on the wall more and more easily.

When she went to take care of Lin, she also told her about it as a joke.

"It's a mess in the house now, and my mother is in the house, so I'm afraid I have to look upset."

Anyway, now whether it is the Lin family or Gu Jiu, they don't have half of their property in the Ming State Mansion, and even if they break their heads, they can't move their own interests.

Hearing this, the Lin family smiled softly, and said helplessly: "I knew that there would be such a day, but at that time, I thought that you and Zheng'er would be the masters of this family in the future, and they would have to fight for you." ”

Who knew that these two people didn't take these things in their eyes, but one did more than the other.

Now it's good, the way out is clean, but it's also broken off from the filth.

"Actually, that's fine."

When he said this, Lin had a smile in his eyes.

She really felt good.

The huge Ming Kingdom Mansion swallowed half of her life, and she knew better than others what kind of existence it was.

Since the little couple doesn't care about themselves, what is she fighting for?

Left and right, as long as they are good.

What's more, the Ming Kingdom Mansion is already an empty shell, and the position of the prince is here in Qin Zheng, in addition, what is the value to fight for there?

She still doesn't see it.

Thinking of this, Lin asked Gu Jiu with a smile: "How has the prince been in the past two days?" ”

She didn't know that Qin Zheng hadn't gone home these days, and the Lin family had asked Qin Zheng once before, in order to perfunctory her, now the tone with Gu Jiu was that he was staying in the Guijiu Courtyard.

Gu Jiu didn't know how Qin Zheng's health was in the past two days, but the servants went over to deliver food every day, but the prince ate cleanly, and there was never any leftover.

"Shizi is busy now, but he has a good appetite."

After all, no matter what she asked her to send, all she sent back was a clean food box.

Naturally, Gu Jiu didn't know how the group of people in Dali Temple were in turmoil, so they all entered Qin Zheng's Five Organs Temple, but he didn't know that they were divided by everyone.

In this case, Qin Zheng didn't have much appetite to eat, and they were all excited to grab a few bites of food.

After Gu Jiu's words, the Lin family was a little more down-to-earth, and then instructed Gu Jiu: "The prince is busy outside, sometimes he has a bad temper, if he provokes you, you just tell your mother, and I will teach him a lesson for you when he comes." ”

His own son understands that temper, and his daughter-in-law is afraid and doesn't know how to coax him.

The Lin family likes Gu Jiu very much, so he naturally refuses to let his son's temper make his daughter-in-law angry.

What's more, after getting along for these days, the Lin family sincerely treats Gu Jiu as a daughter, and naturally refuses to let her be wronged.

Hearing Lin's words, Gu Jiu pursed his lips and smiled, and said a little shyly: "The prince is very good." ”

Seeing her like this, Lin slapped her hand with a smile, and before she wanted to say anything, she saw Gu Nianlan walk in with a flower, and said crisply: "Grandmother, give it to you." ”

Spring is a good time, but most of the flowers in late spring are finished, and it is rare for her to find a peach blossom from nowhere, which is held by the girl in her hand, which is even more pink and delicate.

Lin was so flattered by Gu Nianlan's measures that he took the person in his arms with a smile, and sighed again: "Looking at them every day, I feel that I am living better and better." ”

When she said this, she didn't know what she thought, and added: "At least, you have to see your own grandchildren born, right?" ”

At first, when Gu Jiu heard Lin's words, he would feel shy. But these days, the Lin family can shift the topic to this almost every day, and she is not afraid of fighting wits and courage with the Lin family.

Especially at this time, after hearing her words again, Gu Jiu just pursed his lips and smiled, nodded Gu Nianlan's head, and said with a smile: "Don't coax your grandmother, she doesn't love you anymore." ”

Gu Nianlan is still young, where do she understand this, she just likes this grandmother who has only known her for a short time, so she immediately tugged at her sleeve and asked, "Why doesn't grandmother hurt Lan'er, is Lan'er not well-behaved?" ”

The pitiful appearance of the little girl suddenly caused Lin to feel distressed, and he hurriedly took the little girl in his arms, pointed at Gu Jiu helplessly while turning around, and scolded with a smile: "You open-mouthed, go out, don't be an eyesore here." Lan'er, grandmother loves you the most. ”

The latter sentence was said to Gu Nianlan.

Gu Jiu was waiting for her words, and immediately went out with a smile.

Before going out, she also gave Gu Nianlan a look, which made her happy for Lin.

On the third day, Gu Jiu finally met Qin Zheng.

Because of the people coming and going on the street these days, Gu Jiu disliked the large number of people, so he abandoned the carriage and returned home on foot.

At this time, I have arrived at Jian'an Street, not far from the Mingguo Mansion - closer to Dali Temple.

Therefore, when she met Qin Zheng, although it was not in Gu Jiu's plan, it was not unexpected by her.

Probably just out of Dali Temple, Qin Zheng has not yet restrained the anger in his eyebrows, and the people who follow him dare not dare to giggle, even Zheng Huailuo is a lot more honest.

But when they saw Gu Jiu, they all recovered one after another: "Little sister-in-law! ”

Zheng Huailuo shouted, causing Gu Jiu to raise his head, but the first thing he saw was Qin Zheng.

At dusk, he walked down the street in the sunset, but he was half in the world and half in the world.

Gu Jiu was slightly stunned, and before he could speak, he saw Qin Zheng's voice inquiring.

When the four eyes met, the ice and snow in his eyebrows and eyes melted in an instant, and at that moment, he jumped out of the infernal hell into the vivid mundane world.

"Ah Jiu."

Hearing him call himself, Gu Jiu was a little surprised for a while, because of the familiarity in his voice, and because of the smile on his lips that bloomed for himself.
