Chapter 124: The Authorities Are Confused
After walking for a while, Su Jingye fell from the palace wall. Looking at the plaque of the palace in front of him, he clearly remembered that the little palace maid entered from this Chenglu Hall just now.
In the Chenglu Palace, Yun Zhaoyi, who was rampant in the harem before, was the bedroom, and later Yun Zhaoyi slowly lost the emperor's favor because of repeated failures in front of the palace.
And Gu Ting is Yun Zhaoyi's half-brother and half-mother, if he wants to deliver something to his sister, why should he let a little palace maid waste so much effort?
Su Jingye had doubts in his heart, turned to the back wall of the Chenglu Palace, and flew to the roof of the Chenglu Hall with the power of the big tree next to the wall. Thinking that it was daylight at this time, Yun Zhaoyi would not have anything to look at in the dormitory.
Thinking of this, Su Jingye hesitated to pick up a piece of the yellow tile on the top of the palace, wanting to see what secret there was between the little palace maid and Yun Zhaoyi. The palace is empty, and even a little noise is very loud to respond, so it is very convenient for Su Jingye to eavesdrop.
In the palace, Yun Zhaoyi sat on the main seat, fiddling with her makeup and hair, and as soon as she saw the little palace maid coming in, she lowered her eyes and waved her hand to feel that all the people around her had retreated.
The little palace maid paid more attention, checked the doors and windows, and then walked in front of Yun Zhaoyi and saluted, "The slave maid has seen Zhaoyi Niangniang." ”
"Don't talk nonsense, what Brother Bengong asked you to bring, can you get it?" Yun Zhaoyi, who was so invincible, didn't care whether the palace maid was polite to her for a few years at this time, and after personally reaching out to help her up, he began to search for her everywhere.
"Don't worry, the slave is afraid that the things will be lost halfway, so I keep holding them in the palm of my hand." After that, the little princess unfolded her palm, and the slightly sweaty paper bag was quietly placed in her palm.
"It's here," Yun Zhaoyi didn't dislike the sweat stains of others on the paper bag, but held it in his hand with a happy face, "As long as you have this thing, this palace can regain the emperor's favor." ”
"Mother, have you thought about it? If this thing is used, it will be very harmful to people, and if Your Majesty is unwell, if it is found out, it will be a capital crime of raiding the house. "The little palace maid seems to have a good relationship with the Gu family, and what she says is very sincere.
"Without His Majesty's favor, this palace is not as good as death in this palace." Yun Zhaoyi put aside the little palace maid and dragged her hand, and slightly frantically raised the paper bag high, looking up at it with her chin raised.
"With it, Your Majesty and the palace can be reborn, what is that little bit of harm?"
Seeing Yun Zhaoyi looking at the roof with her head held high, Su Jingye was afraid that she would find the light here, so she hurriedly covered the tiles and went back to isolate other sounds in the palace.
Listening to what she said, as well as her appearance, Su Jingye vaguely felt as if Yun Zhaoyi had also been poisoned. Could it be that the rumor of the five stones in the palace is from the hand of Yun Zhaoyi?
The contents of that paper bag are harmful to people, and it is also described as a rebirth, and Su Jingye has even more reason to suspect that it is the powder of Wushisan. And the one who delivered things to the palace was actually the Ministry of Works, which was really day and night, and it was difficult to prevent thieves.
It's just that there is one suspicion that is too heavy, if the mastermind behind everything is Gu Ting, but Gu Ting doesn't have so many brains to organize and plan, and he can hide it seamlessly, deceiving everyone. What's more, orchestrating it didn't do him any good.
Ordinary people's behavior is to get the most beneficial things for themselves, and Gu Ting doesn't seem to be a person who can be a-stirring stick, which doesn't make sense at all in him.
Because of this, Su Jingye didn't figure it out, so Su Jingye hesitated to tell Su Yutian about Gu Ting's collusion with the harem, and only asked his secret guards to monitor Gu Ting and Yun Zhaoyi separately.
On the other side, when Gu Ting was busy leaving the palace, he finally walked to the square in front of the White Tiger Gate where he left the palace, and a Li Wensong appeared halfway through, and took him away without saying a word.
"Master Li, why are you doing this?" Gu Ting entered the palace without being summoned, and he was weak in his heart, and when he ran into someone else, he almost didn't scare his heart out.
Fortunately, he met Li Wensong, who Gu Ting thought he could trust the most, Li Wensong pulled him under a tree in front of a remote road, looked around very nervously, and then lowered his voice and asked Gu Ting.
"Lord Gu, I'm afraid you're going to die, how can the foreign minister enter and leave the harem at will?"
"This ......" Gu Ting choked in his throat and explained dryly, "I just want to meet my sister, I'm worried that she won't have a good time in the palace, so I will send her something." ”
Now it's okay, what Li Wensong originally thought was just to intimidate Gu Ting with the charge of entering and leaving at will, but he didn't expect him to report to his family and tell his other crime. didn't expect him to be so stupid, Li Wensong almost couldn't help laughing.
"Privately teaching and receiving from the harem is even more of a big crime."
Hearing this, Gu Ting's whole person seemed to be deflated, his face was downcast, and his tone was very unwilling, "My sister has been pampered since she was a child, and Your Majesty did everything possible to please her when she used her, and she didn't need us." Just kick it away. ”
"Now Yun'er is alone in the harem, and no one loves her, I'm a brother, can't I even care about her."
"I know, Lord Gu entered the harem to see his sister, and if he doesn't know, he should only be disposed of in the harem, all of this depends on what the emperor thinks, and Lord Gu alone can not be counted."
Li Wensong's tone was light, so that people couldn't hear what he was thinking. Gu Ting was too lazy to guess, so he simply broke the jar and almost tore his face with Li Wensong, "Since Lord Li caught me, if you want to ask for merit in front of Your Majesty, go ahead." As I have done it, I have received it willingly. ”
"Master Gu, where are you talking about, you and I have been friends for so many years, don't you still know my character?" Li Wensong just deliberately provoked him, but he didn't expect him to take the bait so quickly.
Immediately put on a brother-friend-brother posture, which will definitely make Gu Ting dig out his heart and lungs.
"Just now, I saw that someone behind you had been sneaking behind, so I was worried that you would suffer a loss, so I specially called you aside, but I didn't expect Master Gu to look at me like this, which really chilled me."
"Really?" Gu Ting was a little skeptical, after all, if someone was following him along the way, why didn't he notice it at all.
But when he saw Li Wensong nodding very firmly, he thought that Li Wensong was a martial arts practitioner after all, his five senses were already sharper than ordinary people, and he had helped him many times, so he would definitely not talk nonsense. Thinking of this, Gu Ting relaxed his guard against him again.
"Then I'm really confused, I almost blamed Master Li." Gu Ting really held Li Wensong's arm with great self-reproach, the expression on Li Wensheng's face was still faint, but his tone of voice became a little more enthusiastic. "What is there to say between you and my brother."
The two staged a deep brotherhood here, Gu Ting was convinced of Li Wensong, and he was extremely simple. But when Li Wensong came into contact with him at this time, he quietly took out a paper bag from his arms and stuffed it into Gu Ting's sleeve.
"Since Master Gu has been followed, it is inconvenient for him to go out from the White Tiger Gate again." Li Wensong took the lead in spreading his hand, patted Gu Ting's shoulder, and then pointed to the road in front of him, which was full of dead branches and leaves and no one cleaned it.
"I asked someone to prepare earlier, Lord Gu only needs to walk along this road, and you can see a foot door, which was originally used to transport night incense in the palace, but now I have to grieve Lord Gu."
"There is Lord Lao Li to bother, then I'll go, Lord Li, how are you going?" Knowing that Li Wensong was so worried about himself, Gu Ting was moved in his heart when he heard it.
Li Wensong sighed and slapped his arm with a smile, "You and my brother, why be so polite." ”
"You and I are dressed in similar colors today, so I will go out for you to divert the people who are following you. After you go out through the corner gate, there is a carriage parked outside, and you can get into the carriage and go straight to your house, except that you have never been out of the house today. ”
"Brother Wen Song's grace today is like reconstruction, and I will remember it in my heart for a lifetime." Gu Ting bowed his hand to him heroically, then lifted the hem of his clothes, looked around with great care, and ran along the path.
Li Wensong looked at his figure gradually moving away, and his face couldn't help but evoke a faint sneer.
It's not so easy to find someone in the palace who is behind the blame, since Su Jingye will eventually find out the head, and Gu Ting will send it to the door by himself, why don't he push the boat down the river and help them.
Gu Ting followed Li Wensong's instructions and ran on this path for a long time before finally seeing the shadow of a small door.
"It's really strange that there is such a dilapidated door in this palatial palace." Gu Ting saw that the surroundings were particularly remote, so he hid behind the half-human-high bushes, and rested before going out.
Gu Ting has been an official for so many years, and he has been pampered and has never walked much. Running so far today can be regarded as consuming a lot of his strength.
was resting, and after a while, the sun shone down overhead, and Gu Ting did not block the sun in the bushes, and sweated all over his forehead.
Although my legs were still a little shaky, fortunately it was much better than before. Gu Ting stood up and shook his legs, and sure enough, he found a simplely decorated carriage outside the door. The carriage is also lightly printed with the mark of his own mansion, so there must be no mistake.
Su Jingye didn't dare to blatantly let the secret guards follow him in the palace, so he only sent a few eunuchs to follow Gu Ting. The little eunuch's footsteps were light, Gu Ting didn't notice it, and the little eunuch had been following him until the footgate path pointed out to him by Li Wensong.
Seeing Gu Ting leave the palace from such a remote place, the two little eunuchs looked at each other, and finally decided that one person would continue to follow the other person to write down the location of this corner gate, and immediately go back to tell Su Jingye.
Gu Ting walked slowly to the carriage, and the coachman enthusiastically moved the stool down and invited him to go up. Gu Ting lifted the hem of his clothes and was about to step on it, but suddenly stopped.
