Chapter 184: Climbing Another Tall Branch
After taking the abundance of the monthly payment that Zhao Guifei allocated to the Xuanwang Mansion early, holding the heavy box of silver money in his arms, he came to the palace and waited for Zhinan to come out of the Yongbao Pavilion.
He had been wandering around the door since the morning, chatting with the guards guarding the door from time to time to relieve his boredom.
Seeing that the sun climbed to the middle of the sky little by little, and it all fell again, and I didn't see the meaning of the Zhinan girl to come out. He walked to the guards at the door again, and asked them to ask someone to go to the Yongbao Pavilion for him to inquire about when Miss Nan would come out.
Before he could finish greeting the guards at the door, he saw Gonggong Li walking out of the closed gate. He hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, "Gonggong Li, this is really troublesome for you, you have a lot of opportunities this day, and you will send the two of us to the palace in the morning, and you will personally send Miss Zhinan out this afternoon." ”
After speaking, he glanced behind Gonggong Li, but Gonggong Li was empty behind him, and he didn't see the figure of Miss Zhinan.
He couldn't help but be curious.
Gonggong Li said to Feng Qi, "Leader Feng Qi, the lady in the palace entrusted the old slave to go to your Xuanwang Mansion to do something, I wonder if Leader Feng can go all the way with the old slave?" ”
Feng Qi didn't know what was going on, and was just about to open his mouth to ask about the whereabouts of Miss Zhinan, but was stopped by Gonggong Li's words. Gonggong Li pointed to a carriage parked not far away and asked, "Look at this, it should be the carriage of your Xuanwang Mansion, right?" Fengqi Chief, please first. ”
Feng Qi followed the direction of Gonggong Li's finger and got into the carriage, and Gonggong Li also sat down together.
After he sat down, he knocked on the window from the car and said to the groom, "Let's go, go back to the Xuanwang Mansion." ”
In the afterglow of the setting sun, the horse-drawn carriage shuttled briskly through the streets of Kyoto, which were already full of people. Gonggong Li looked at the people coming and going outside through the car window, and couldn't help but think of the conversation with Zhinan this morning, and his heart couldn't help but warm. I have a family now.
"Leader Feng, Gonggong Li, we have arrived." The coachman of the royal horse informed the two people in the car of the current geographical location from the outside of the carriage. Gonggong Li looked at Feng Qi and smiled politely.
Feng Qi has followed Zun Mojun in the gang of men in the army since he was a child, and he is used to it. It is rare to have such a close and personal contact with someone as father-in-law as it is today. He was uncomfortable and pulled the corners of his mouth at Gonggong Li, and he didn't know how ugly the expression on his face was.
Gonggong Li didn't care about Feng Qi's attitude towards him, and after so many years, he had already become accustomed to those men's discomfort with him.
He took the hand handed over by the groom, stepped out of the carriage, and followed Feng Qi into the inner courtyard of the Xuanwang Mansion.
Feng Qi's first priority was to return the monthly payments he had received to his wife, and he stepped up his steps towards Gu Muqing's room. He originally thought that Gonggong Li had come here recently to find Zun Mojun to talk about some things in the court, but he didn't expect him to follow him to find Gu Muqing.
Gu Muqing spent the day in fear today, she knew that Zhinan's entry into the palace simply pressed her entire Xuanwang Mansion on Zhinan's body. Since she saw off Zun Mojun in the morning, she has been sitting alone on the side of the bed, looking at the sun hanging high in the sky, and she will be startled at the sound of some footsteps, for fear that she will miss any news.
"Madam, the leader of Fengqi is back, followed by Gonggong Li in the palace!" Chunyu learned the news from the door, so she hurried to Gu Muqing's side and told her.
As soon as he heard that it was Gonggong Li who was coming, Gu Muqing felt that the cold sweat on his body flowed down his spine. Grandpa Li is here? What did he do? Could it be that what Zhinan did when he entered the palace was discovered? Father-in-law Li came to report? Or was your secret letter discovered? Zhinan was dragged into prison as a sinner?
The more Gu Muqing thought about it, the more frightened he became, and he couldn't help but feel that his hands and feet became cold, and he couldn't stop shivering.
Chunyu looked at Gu Muqing's abnormal appearance, thinking that Gu Muqing was unwell again, so she hurriedly asked, "Madam, where are you uncomfortable?" Why don't I announce my illness to that Li Gong and ask him to come back one day? ”
Gu Muqing shook her head, she was already nervous and couldn't say anything at this time.
"Is Princess Xuan here? Grandpa Li is invited! Father-in-law Li, who had just walked to the door, stood outside Gu Muqing's closed door and blew himself up.
Gu Muqing hurriedly asked Chunyu to open the door and beckoned Gonggong Li to come in.
She tried hard to restrain her nervousness, squeezed out a smile on her face, controlled her slightly trembling forehead and legs, and walked to the door to welcome the arrival of Gonggong Li.
"Oh, you're here." Gu Muqing walked to Gonggong Li's side and said to him, "You are really a frequent visitor to our mansion these days, you are really grateful for you, today is this hour, is there anything important to come to my Xuanwang Mansion?" ”
Gu Muqing greeted Gonggong Li, followed him into the room, and sat on the chair. Feng Qi, who had nothing to do, stood at Gu Muqing's door with a helpless face holding the heavy box.
"I'm here today to tell the princess about a great event!" Gonggong Li took a sip of tea and said to Gu Muqing in a soft voice.
Gu Muqing heard Gonggong Li's words, and his hanging heart couldn't help but let go. When Gonggong Li said this, it seems that Zhinan successfully penetrated the enemy's interior.
She pretended not to know what to do and asked, "What a happy event?" And Father-in-law Lao, you personally ran on this trip. ”
"Madame is really blessed, your maid in the yard was taken in by the concubine today." Gonggong Li looked at Gu Muqing's face, and then said, "The princess is really well-taught!" ”
"Bang" The teapot that had been held in Chunyu's hand fell to the ground and shattered, and the hot water in the pot splashed Gu Muqing's body.
Gu Muqing remembered what she said to Zhinan about her current personality, in front of Gonggong Li, she had to continue acting no matter what, she stood up angrily and yelled at Chunyu, "How are you doing this?" How? Do you also want to go into the palace to follow the concubine? If you want to go, you can go, my small temple can't afford to support you big Buddhas? ”
Chunyu looked at Gu Muqing in disbelief, she didn't expect her to say such vicious words to herself. Just now, she heard the news of Zhinan's entry into the palace, she was particularly shocked, she couldn't have imagined that Zhinan, who was so good to herself on weekdays, and Zhinan, who listened to her words in her heart, turned out to be so deep in the city, and she quietly climbed another high branch.
