Chapter 17: Send Me (2nd Watch)
Gu Qingyan twisted his fingers, and finally asked, "Don't you know that Forget Suo threatened him with Cheng Qi's identity?" ”
"I don't know, if I know, even if I kill him, even if I offend the third prince and the virtuous concubine in the palace, I won't let him murder Lord An Xiaojun." Fang Yuan said hatefully, "Who knows what is going on with him, he is obviously an orphan of the Jokhang Temple, but he knows Cheng Qi's secret identity." ”
Gu Qingyan pondered for a moment and said coldly, "I can only promise you to save that child's life." As for the lives of you and Concubine Cheng, I have no interest in protecting them. ”
Fang Yuan moved the corners of his mouth, and said with a disgraced face, "If the seventh prince can save the child's life, even if I am tortured by Ling Chi, I will admit it." ”
Gu Qingyan said, "You haven't seen me today." ”
"Yes, I haven't seen you." Fang Yuan nodded.
Gu Qingyan smiled, "I never believed that a person with memories could keep secrets. With that, he stood up and commanded, "Feed him an amnesiac pill." ”
"Yes!" The dark guard stepped forward, broke Fang Yuan's mouth, stuffed a pill, and watched him swallow it.
An amnesiac pill can erase a person's memory for half a day, and in the blink of an eye, he doesn't remember what he has seen Gu Qingyan say.
"Send him back to the mountain behind the Jokhang Temple, roll down the hillside, and wait for Chu Chen to find him." After Gu Qingyan finished speaking, he walked out of the dark room.
The secret guard should have carried Fang Yuan, and then went out of the dark room, and secretly sent back to the mountain behind the Jokhang Temple.
Gu Qingyan glanced at the sky, the sun was already out, he didn't expect that he would be delayed for so long, thinking to himself if she had the patience to wait for him to have breakfast today.
An Huajin has always had little patience, but if that person was Gu Qingyan, she would have more patience.
Therefore, when Gu Qingyan came to the An family's old mansion after a long time and entered Fenghong Garden, he saw An Huajin sitting at the dining table in the painting hall, holding a red rope in his hand, and his fingers were dexterously weaving something. On the table were neatly arranged dishes, clean and clean, obviously not yet breakfast, waiting for him.
His eyes moved, and his eyebrows were stained with a smile.
Hearing the movement, An Huajin raised her eyes and saw that Gu Qingyan's brocade robe and jade belt were noble and elegant, but there was a faint trace of aura on her body that she had not smelled a few days ago but made her feel that she had not been seen for a long time, she raised her eyebrows, "You went to Eighth Street?" Where did you come from? ”
Gu Qingyan paused and looked at An Huajin in surprise, "How can you see it?" ”
"Breath!" An Huajin retracted his gaze, "The breath of the dark room three years ago is exactly the same. ”
Gu Qingyan was taken aback, "The sense of smell is so keen? ”
"Hmm." An Huajin's fingers were entwined, and his movements did not stop, "I have been very sensitive to smells since I was a child, and I have eaten your lesson three years ago, and it took me a lot of hard practice to go back to Nanyang, and I am especially sensitive to the breath on your body." ”
Gu Qingyan: "......"
He smiled dumbly, "It seems that I can't hide anything from you in the future." ”
"Not necessarily." An Huajin said seriously, "As long as you take a shower and change your clothes after doing something bad, I can't smell it." ”
Gu Qingyan coughed lowly, "I didn't plan to hide it from you, I wanted to tell you." ”
An Huajin raised an eyebrow.
Gu Qingyan lowered his voice and secretly stared at the Jokhang Temple, staring at Fang Yuan who had sneaked away in the middle of the night yesterday, and what he had interrogated from Fang Yuan's mouth in the dark room of the Eighth Street.
An Huajin stopped what he was doing and said in shock, "Concubine Cheng is dead?" Actually cheating with a monk? And got a kid? ”
The most strange thing is that the child is ten years old and is still alive and well!
Gu Qingyan was silent, "I was also shocked when I found out about this at the time. ”
"No wonder Concubine Cheng lives in Jokhang Temple for half a year, and her feelings are under the guise of worshipping the Buddha, doing underground business." An Huajin was speechless for a moment and frowned, "Is Concubine Cheng's foundation so deep?" The criminal department has her eyeliner? Unexpectedly, he delivered the news to Fang Yuan to the Jokhang Temple so quickly? Especially the Jokhang Temple has been blocked, and the news can still be handed in. ”
"Concubine Cheng's son died for His Majesty, and Concubine Cheng herself also supported His Majesty. His Majesty is very respectful and tolerant of Concubine Cheng, Concubine Cheng is tired of staying in the palace, and only needs to send someone to say to His Majesty when she leaves the palace. ”
Anhua Jin sighed, "A concubine has so much power, no wonder she dares to be so bold to have children with others." ”
Gu Qingyan sighed with emotion and asked, "What are you making up?" ”
He had wanted to ask for a long time, but at this time, he explained the reason for coming late today, so he couldn't help but ask.
"Auspicious knot."
Gu Qingyan blinked, "It's very beautiful." ”
"Naturally good-looking, I learned this technique from a master, there are many tricks, this is the most complex arrangement, when I am bored or upset, I will make up one, which can make people calm and calm." An Huajin continued the movement in his hand.
Gu Qingyan stared at An Huajin's green fingers entwined, complex gaps and several strands of red rope that people couldn't see with their eyes, but she didn't use her eyes to stare at it and was extremely methodical, extremely skilled, "No wonder it's different from the auspicious knot I've seen, such a complex craftsmanship can't be compared to the skillful embroidery in the palace, it's really ingenious." ”
"Not all good things will enter the court. There are also countless things that the court does not have. ”
"Hmm." Gu Qingyan nodded and said gently, "I have never seen such a beautiful auspicious knot, you ...... I'm done, will you send it to me? ”
An Huajin raised his eyes to look at him, "Gu Qigongzi has a lot of good things, such a gadget, and he can also look at it?" ”
"It's very interesting." Gu Qingyan looked serious, staring at Ji Xiangjie's eyes.
"Okay, I'll give it to you if you want." An Huajin agreed.
Gu Qingyan's smile was a little more joyful, and his eyes were a little clearer, "How can you have so many things, so ingenious." ”
An Huajin smiled, she likes to listen to this, anyone can say what she praises, and it seems to be particularly comfortable when she says it from his mouth, "My grandfather also once praised me for my ingenuity, what I can learn, and what I do is decent, but it is not as good as your praise." Are good-looking people more likely to praise people? ”
Gu Qingyan coughed and blushed slightly, "Maybe." ”
An Huajin laughed, he praised her, and she praised him in turn, is he embarrassed?
Gu Qingyan covered her lips, coughed a few times in a row, and suddenly her mind fluttered, and she barely pressed it for a moment before she froze, "You said you made this up when you were bored and upset, so today you are bored and upset?" Because of the grain robbery? ”
"Hmm." An Huajin smiled, "If it weren't for this case, when His Majesty first ascended the throne, he would have planted the seeds of suspicion in the Nanyang Palace, and he would not have paid attention to the weapons supervisor and improved the weapons. I thought about it, the grain robbery case back then, I was afraid that someone was trying to destroy the Nanyang Palace. It's done so seamlessly, it hasn't been shaken out for eighteen years, presumably that person covers the sky with only one hand. If I think about it too much, I get bored. ”
Gu Qingyan pursed the corners of his mouth, "Back then, the grain robbery case was not seamless, after all, there was Cheng Qi who escaped the catastrophe, and there was Fang Yuan who escaped with a murder stand-in and escaped into the empty door. His Majesty can't find out, it's a new enthronement, and the foundation is unstable, and the Nanyang Royal Mansion can't find out because Nanyang is too far away from the capital and the south bank of the Huai River. ”
According to Fang Yuan, Zhang Huan, the head of the household department back then, is now Zhang Zaifu, and he is the head of the household department, so he may not be able to make such a big deal. Eighteen years ago, who else was close to him? An Hua Jin pondered.
"This requires checking the files of officials in the DPRK back then." Gu Qingyan said, "Now Zhang Zaifuguan is the first of the hundred officials, under one person, above ten thousand, it is easy to shake, there is not enough evidence, you can't startle the snake because of Fang Yuan's suspicions, you need to investigate slowly." What's more, His Majesty dotes on Concubine Shu, although the second prince is the same as other princes, except for the seventh prince, His Majesty seems to treat the other princes equally, but in the end, in private, he still values it very much, otherwise he would not give one or two things from the private treasury to the second prince secretly to ask for good luck every New Year's Day. ”
The maternal grandfather of the second prince is this Zhang Zaifu.
Your Majesty treats them the same on the surface, but is there such a difference in private?
An Huajin narrowed his eyes, since His Majesty was in private, presumably only Gonggong Zhang, who was Gu Qingyan's person, knew about it, "Did my seventh cousin get it privately?" ”
Gu Qingyan smiled, "The Seventh Prince is a prince, so you don't have to get it in private, Your Majesty has already given it generously." ”
"It turns out that Your Majesty likes the second prince?" An Huajin racked her brains and thought about it, she seemed to have seen many of His Majesty's princes three years ago, but what it looked like, except for remembering her cousin Chu Yan, the rest of the people didn't remember. What the second prince looked like, she couldn't even remember his face, let alone his temperament.
"Maybe! Your Majesty's thoughts are very deep, I can't say for sure. Gu Qingyan was ambiguous.
An Huajin laughed, a bowl of poisonous tea, involved in the grain robbery case, involving Concubine Cheng, Concubine Xian, the third prince, Zhang Zaifu, Concubine Shugui, and the second prince. If you dig deeper, there must be more involved, and the court is afraid that it will shake the earth.
