Chapter 29: Counting is Counting
General Pei looked back at Gu Xiaonuan, his gaze was very calm, but Gu Xiaonuan always felt that under that calm, there seemed to be an unpredictable turbulence hidden under that calm, and that turbulence would break through that calm at any time and sweep towards him, making him in an extremely nervous state at any time.
Gu Xiaonuan's heartbeat quickened a little, and he smiled even more reluctantly, "General Pei...... Where do you want Hongu to go with you? ”
"Go to the king."
"Hmm......? What are you doing to the king? The king had already rested at Concubine An's side at this time, did General Pei want to disturb the king at this time? ”
"The king ordered the ministers to guard the safety of the queen's bedroom, but the king did not tell the queen that she still had a preference for climbing over the wall to admire the moon, and I am afraid that the king did not know that the queen still had such a habit, so the minister felt that it was necessary to tell the king all this, and it should not be in vain for the king's entrustment to the ministers."
Gu Xiaonuan knew that the matter would not end so easily, this matter was revealed by himself in his hands, if he didn't sue himself to the king, he wouldn't give up.
It's really capsized in the gutter, and when I went out, I didn't look at the yellow calendar, Gu Xiaonuan patted her head, and kept thinking, "What should I do, what should I do......?" "He was a general, a victorious general who fought bravely and skillfully on the battlefield, and if he wanted to carry himself before the king, it would be easy.
It is impossible for him to escape from him, and if he really wants to carry himself to the king, then he will only see the move when the time comes, and the soldiers will come to cover the water and earth, so he can't think of a better way.
Glancing at General Pei, Gu Xiaonuan flicked his sleeves, "Just go, General Pei is not afraid of disturbing the king's rest, what is this palace afraid of." With that, she pulled the frightened and overwhelmed listening behind her.
Following Gu Xiaonuan, General Pei was always on guard against what Gu Xiaonuan would do, and he had also heard about the change in the queen's temperament, knowing that the current queen was not the queen of the past, and he had to be on guard.
But against all precautions, he was not Gu Xiaonuan after all, and he couldn't guess what Gu Xiaonuan would do.
Walking to a river, Gu Xiaonuan suddenly pulled and listened, "Ayin, how is the water?" ”
"Also...... It's fine. ”
Before the words fell, I saw Gu Xiaonuan pulling the sound and "plopping" into the water, General Pei was on guard, but he didn't catch anything except the splash on his face.
Gu Xiaonuan suddenly remembered when she walked here that this river could be connected to the front of the dormitory where she lived, and as long as she plunged into the water, she could naturally swim in front of the dormitory. So he plunged into the water with Tingyin, this is the only way, if he doesn't dive, he will be pulled in front of the king, and then there will be no room for reversal.
However, General Pei was not stupid, he looked at the calm tide and he immediately thought of this, and he ran to the queen's bedroom.
As long as he kept guard over the bedchamber, he would raise her up to the king even if she came out of the water.
It's just that General Pei made a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that as soon as he ran away, Gu Xiaonuan pulled Tingyin out of the water.
Fluttering in the icy tide, Gu Xiaonuan dragged Tingyin ashore, Tingyin was defenseless and unprepared, and Gu Xiaonuan suddenly threw herself into the water, and she was about to die at this time.
Wearing wet clothes, Gu Xiaonuan was trembling all over, although it was spring, but the water was too cold, and Gu Xiaonuan's whole body was stiff, and it took a lot of effort to drag the sound up.
General Pei broke into the dormitory late at night Everyone was surprised, after all, this was the queen's dormitory, as a courtier, he should have avoided suspicion, but he broke in late at night, but he just stood in front of the dormitory and didn't do anything, and the palace people didn't dare to say anything.
After standing for a long time, looking at the lake and still not moving, General Pei seemed to realize something, turned around and suddenly rushed out of the dormitory, and the palace people who watched were stunned, not knowing what happened to General Pei.
As soon as General Pei left, Gu Xiaonuan jumped down from the wall with Tingyin, climbed in through the window, hurriedly found a set of clothes to change into, and got into the bed.
General Pei rushed to the place where Gu Xiaonuan had dived, only to see a wet patch on the ground, and following the traces of the water, he found the place where he first met Gu Xiaonuan, looking at the wet marks on the wall, he knew that Gu Xiaonuan had already returned to the dormitory, but he would not just give up.
The palace people hadn't come back to their senses, but they saw General Pei rush into the queen's bedroom again like crazy, and when he entered the palace, he went straight to the inside.
Seeing this, the palace people guarding the door hurriedly stopped him, "General Pei, this is the queen's dormitory ......." ”
"Get out of the way." He pushed away the two palace people who were blocking him.
The moment she wanted to push the door, the door opened, only to see that it was Tingyin who came to open the door, she held a lamp in her hand, and looked at Gong Daodao, who was pushed aside, "What's the matter?" ”
"Sister Tingyin...... Yes, it's General Pei, I don't know what ...... to do. ”
Tingyin glanced at General Pei and said with a smile, "General Pei, this is the queen's bedroom, I wonder what happened to General Pei here late at night?" ”
General Pei was tricked by Gu Xiaonuan, and she was very unhappy, at this time, the eyes that looked at Tingyin were about to kill Tingyin, and Tingyin was also flustered, but she knew that she couldn't show her flaws, she was panicked and pretended that nothing happened tonight.
Seeing that Tingyin was blocking the door, General Pei wanted to push him, but suddenly saw the face behind Tingyin, Gu Xiaonuan stood behind Tingyin at some point, looked at General Pei and smiled.
Gu Xiaonuan knew that Tingyin was a little girl who had no experience in the world, and in the face of a person like General Pei, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, she was still scared, and she would definitely not be able to cope with it.
After pulling and listening, Gu Xiaonuan stepped forward and looked at General Pei and smiled faintly, after a while, she had already changed all her wet clothes.
At this time, she was wearing a light-colored gauze dress, the gauze was very light, and her slender waist showed her graceful posture, because she didn't have time to comb her hair plate, she didn't coil up, but just spread it down her back. The makeup in the daytime was almost washed away by the cold water just now. Fortunately, this Gong Yuyao is also a natural beauty, even if he doesn't wear makeup, he is bright and moving, and he can go out to meet people.
A long black hair was also wiped dry at this time, and it was softly draped along her back, she didn't wear shoes, it's not that she didn't want to, but she was too late, she was afraid that General Pei would really rush in if she was one step late, and there were still clothes they had changed in the back, which was also evidence, so at this moment, a pair of slender jade feet were also exposed, stepping on the cold floor.
The queens that General Pei met in Su Rili were all queens with dignified makeup, and they had never seen a queen like this, so they immediately lowered their heads and didn't dare to look at the queen.
In this era, if he dares to look at the queen openly at this time, he is committing a crime and will be sent down.
Gu Xiaonuan looked at General Pei, who didn't dare to look directly at him, leaned forward slightly, and said softly in a position a little closer to him, "General Pei, you said, you broke into the queen's bedroom like this, if the king knew about it, how would he send you?" ”
General Pei's expression changed, he never thought that the queen would come to see him like this, which was beyond his expectations, and he blamed himself for being reckless and not thinking of this.
Gu Xiaonuan saw that his expression had changed, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly and smiled, "Moreover, now that you have no evidence, how can you say that the king can believe you?" ”
This General Pei naturally knew that the reason why he dared to rush into the dormitory before was because he knew that he had evidence in hand, but now he didn't have that certainty.
Gritting his teeth, General Pei said, "My subordinates say goodbye." ”
Gu Xiaonuan smiled, "That's right, don't worry, as long as you don't get along with me anymore, this palace will say in front of the king that you broke into the queen's bedroom tonight just to catch the assassin." ”
