Chapter 266: Entering the Mansion

"If Commander Bi really doesn't know......"

Gu Banqin slowly walked in front of Bi Geng, her eyes shot directly at Bi Geng's eyes, Bi Geng struggled to resist at first, but was finally hypnotized.

Gu Banqin's hand shook a few times in front of the wooden stake-like Bi Geng, Bi Geng's gaze changed from Qingming to hollow, Gu Banqin looked out of the courtyard, and the people outside did not find Bi Geng's abnormality, they only thought Gu Banqin was asking.

"Did Helian Hongyi arrest my mother?"

For Bi Geng, who was hypnotized, Gu Banqin was not polite to him, and asked questions directly.

Bi Geng nodded: "Yes." ”

"Where's the catch?"

"North of Shilipo outside the city, the courtyard of the Pinggong Palace."

Gu Banqin's brows furrowed, King Ping was the youngest uncle of Helian Hongyi, and the first emperor still loved this little brother very much, and after he ascended the throne, he gave him the title of King Ping.

Although he has no real power in his hands, he is the most leisurely and comfortable of all the princes, if he hadn't asked Bi Geng, Gu Banqin would have racked his brains and couldn't have imagined that Helian Hongyi hid the Duan family there.

"When will Helian Hongyi let you go to see her?" Gu Banqin continued to ask.

"It used to be three days and one day, but now it's once a day, and I go at the hour."

Bi Geng replied like this, Gu Banqin thought about it, and felt that this logic made sense, because Helian Hongyi had realized that Gu Banqin had begun to suspect him recently, so he asked Bi Geng to go to Duan's place every day to ask. Suddenly, he was shocked, and asked:

"How's my mother? Did Helian Hongyi torture her? ”

It may be that Gu Banqin's two consecutive questions made Bi Geng a little unable to react, and he was stunned for a while, and then shook his head slightly.

Gu Banqin didn't know if he wanted to express whether he didn't know or didn't have it, and was about to continue asking, when he saw Liu Wu running up the steps, running to the door, and said to Gu Banqin:

"Niangniang, the emperor's ceremonial drive is almost here."

Gu Banqin's heart tightened, and she replied to Liu Wu as usual: "I know, I will come out after talking to Commander Bi." ”

After the catkins retreated, Gu Banqin looked at the empty Bi Geng, knowing that she couldn't continue to ask, and said in front of Bi Geng in a very low voice:

"Wait for me outside the palace gate tomorrow, take me out of the palace together, after I snap my fingers, everything will return to its original state for the time being, forget what I just said to you, you were summoned by me to find someone, and the appointment of tomorrow Chenshi cannot be forgotten."

After Gu Banqin said this, he snapped his fingers lightly in Bi Geng's ear, Bi Geng's eyes woke up suddenly, and he saw Gu Banqin standing in front of him with a good look, and there seemed to be a different feeling in his mind, but he couldn't tell it clearly, it was like suddenly falling asleep while talking......

Gu Banqin said to Bi Geng: "That's the thing, the palace maid in the place has been missing for several days, I asked Jia Jinlu to find her to teach me origami, Jia Jinlu went a few times and didn't find anyone, this thing is too weird, you help me check it." ”

Bi Geng looked at Gu Banqin in confusion, as if he didn't quite understand what she meant, Gu Banqin sneered: "What are you doing looking at me under Commander Bi, did you hear what I said?" ”

Bi Geng hurriedly bowed his hand: "Niangniang forgives the sin, the minister seems to have been distracted just now, and I ask the lady and the minister to say it again." ”

Gu Banqin spread her hands helplessly: "I said, I'll ask you to help me find a palace maid in the people's house, named Liang Hong, she taught me origami before, I learned it at the time, and I forgot it the next day, I want to find her to come over and teach it again, but the people in the people's house said that she hasn't been back for several days, and I asked you to help me find her." Did you hear me clearly this time? ”

After Gu Banqin finished speaking, Bi Geng nodded stunned: "Yes, the minister heard clearly." I'll send someone to find it later. ”

When these words were spoken, there was a sound of the emperor's worship outside, Bi Geng and Gu Banqin went to the corridor to wait, Helian Hongyi came to see Bi Geng, and looked at him quietly, Bi Geng immediately stepped forward and said:

"See the emperor, Niangniang called the ministers to come over and tell something."

Helian Hongyi nodded as usual: "Well, have you finished the order?" ”

Gu Banqin stepped forward and said, "It's all ordered, Commander Bi please." ”

Bi Geng said yes, and then said goodbye to Helian Hongyi and Gu Banqin, and left Lihua Palace in a trance.

Helian Hongyi stared at the back of Bi Geng leaving, and asked Gu Banqin, "What did you tell him?" Why doesn't he seem to understand, confused? ”

Gu Banqin put his arm around Helian Hongyi and said:

"I asked Commander Bi to find someone for me, all the palace maids under the people are missing, I have something to do with her, Jia Jinlu has been there several times and has not seen anyone, and I don't know where I went, I asked Commander Bi to check it for me."

It is impossible for Helian Hongyi not to know about Gu Banqin's search for Liang Hong in the palace, since he knows, Gu Banqin simply said it directly, which increased his credibility.

The expression on Helian Hongyi's face was impeccable, and Gu Banqin's heart was half cold when he saw it, he was so good at disguise, she couldn't tell whether he was hypocritical to her.

"The palace maids in the people's place are also worth your trouble."

Helian Hongyi pinched Gu Banqin's face, and then went to the inner room, Gu Banqin stroked her cheek and sighed faintly, is her fate with Helian Hongyi over?

Helian Hongyi washed his hands and came out, and saw Gu Banqin still standing in place, his eyes softened, he sighed secretly, walked behind Gu Banqin, hugged her in his arms, and said to Gu Banqin:

"Do you feel anything wrong these days?"

Gu Banqin raised her head, looked at Helian Hongyi in a daze, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes, and a voice in her heart shouted, hoping that Helian Hongyi could confess everything to her, as long as the Duan family was unharmed, she was still willing to forgive Helian Hongyi.

"Where...... Wrong? Gu Banqin's voice was full of hope.

Helian Hongyi looked at her, and after a while, he said in her ear: "You have been cold to me recently, haven't you noticed?" ”

Gu Banqin lowered her eyes, turned her gaze, held back her disappointment, and reluctantly raised a smile at Helian Hongyi: "Why didn't I realize that I still treat you the same." ”

After speaking, he was about to turn around and leave, but he was surrounded by Helian Hongyi, Helian Hongyi held Gu Banqin's cheeks with both hands, and said affectionately:

"Gu Banqin, you look at me carefully, I will only tell you these words once, you have to listen to them."

Helian Hongyi stared at Gu Banqin, his eyes were deep and full of strong emotion, which made Gu Banqin's heart move, and the extinguished hope was ignited again, and after his heartbeat was rapid, even his voice began to tremble, like a kitten, and replied:

"Okay, you say."

Helian Hongyi pondered for a while, kissed Gu Banqin's upturned lips, and then licked his lips and said, "No matter when, no matter what happens, what you see, or hear, you have to believe me." I'm not going to do anything to hurt you, never. ”

The atmosphere in the bedroom seemed to be stagnant, Gu Banqin's cheeks were held by Helian Hongyi, a pair of black and bright eyes were full of moisture, and tears fell on the back of Helian Hongyi's hand, which seemed to be warm.

Helian Hongyi had never seen such a Gu Banqin, fierce, sweet, docile, and angry, he had seen it all, but it was the first time he had seen such a sad look.

couldn't help but want to comfort her, kissed her one by one in the corner of her eyes, and then hugged her tightly into her arms, Gu Banqin's tears couldn't be stopped, the two of them seemed to have realized each other's transformation, but neither of them dared to pierce the layer of paper, for fear that after the piercing, it would be difficult to repair.

Gu Banqin didn't know what Helian Hongyi thought, but now if she wants to accept the fact that Helian Hongyi lied to her, it is simply uncomfortable, she is still willing to believe that Helian Hongyi did not lie to her, everything is difficult and there is a reason.

He is the emperor, with the well-being of all the people on his shoulders, the world is peaceful, and everything he does is right.

But Duan's matter made Gu Banqin like a fish in his throat, and he couldn't make any promises to him.

Helian Hongyi didn't know how to comfort Gu Banqin, so he hugged her vigorously and asked her not to cry, Gu Banqin cried and cried in Helian Hongyi's arms, and actually fell asleep.

Helian Hongyi hugged Gu Banqin to the bed, covered the quilt, sat on the edge of the bed, stared at her sleeping face, twisted a handkerchief with his own hands and came over to wipe the dried tears on her face for her, and sighed faintly.

Then he walked out of Lihua Palace, went back to Taihe Palace, and beckoned Bi Geng to ask:

"Did Niangniang find something, she called you and asked you if there was anything?"

Bi Geng shook his head: "No, Niangniang called the minister to find a palace maid who went to a person's place, and didn't ask anything else." ”

Bi Geng's words made Helian Hongyi feel a little relieved, walked to the windowsill and muttered for a while, and said: "Tomorrow, you go to the Pinggong Mansion to ask, if she still refuses to say anything, I will ask in person, be sure to finish the matter before the mother finds out the truth, and send her away." ”

Bi Geng clenched his fists: "Yes." If nothing happens, the minister will go back. Tomorrow, the minister will go out of the palace to ......"

Helian Hongyi didn't notice Bi Geng's mistake, raised his hand to let him retreat, Helian Hongyi stood in the Taihe Hall for a while before returning to Lihua Palace, Gu Banqin was still sleeping.

At the next hour, Gu Banqin pretended to be a little eunuch, and walked out of the palace gate with Bi Geng, and the guards saluted Bi Geng, not surprised that he was followed by a little eunuch.

Bi Geng took Gu Banqin and rode all the way to the courtyard of the Pinggong Mansion outside the city.

There was nothing unusual around the courtyard, but when Bi Geng and the others arrived a hundred meters in front of the door, a guard came out to greet them, and after welcoming Bi Geng and the people behind him into the house, the courtyard door was decisively closed, and the peace of the outer courtyard was restored.

Gu Banqin lowered her head, followed closely behind Bi Geng, walked from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, Gu Banqin secretly wrote down these passes and directions, and finally walked for about three or four minutes, and arrived at a courtyard.

There is a grandmother guarding the courtyard, the courtyard door is closed, the grandmother saw Bi Geng, and after confirming his identity, the two guards and grandmothers spliced the two keys together and opened the courtyard gate for Bi Geng.

Gu Banqin entered and exited with Bi Geng, so she did not do a special inspection, and after she followed Bi Geng inside, she passed through an arch before officially entering the inner courtyard.
