"If he can't find out, he will be blamed by the Hou Ye, and the emperor will be anxious, what do we have to worry about?" Xuanyuan Jingxi turned his head and glanced at his two right-hand men inexplicably, waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say anything, let's hurry!" So saying, he got down the mound and turned back to the carriage. Obviously, she misses Miss Gu Er fiercely, but she pretends to be like a nobody! Ziyi looked at his back and muttered a few words, and came down with Mo Yun.

Once again, the team set off slowly.

……

At dusk, the clouds were feeding Gu Ruoxi for dinner, and Xuanyuan Chun came to visit as he said.

At that time, Jinye Hou was eating downstairs, and when he heard that Xuanyuan Chun was coming, he immediately lost his appetite, and immediately ordered the guards to remove the food and clean up the hall, which welcomed Xuanyuan Chun in.

"Master Hou, didn't disturb you for dinner, did you?" As soon as Xuanyuan Chun entered the door, he said with a smile.

Isn't that knowingly asking? Jin Ye Hou rolled his eyes fiercely in his heart, and then he came up and said, "Where are the words!" Four Princes, please! ”

"No, Master Hou, this time I'm here to visit Miss Gu Er, she's upstairs, right?" Xuanyuan Chun stood there and didn't move, but he looked at Jinye Hou and smiled slightly, and said.

Jin Yehou's brows immediately furrowed: "The fourth prince should sit here for a while!" Xi'er hurt her arms after falling into the water, and her arms couldn't be lifted at all, and the maid above was feeding her, please forgive me. ”

"I see!" When Xuanyuan Chun heard this, he was taken aback at first, and immediately said apologetically: "Master Hou, I'm sorry, His Highness doesn't know that this is the case." ”

"It's okay, Your Highness, please take a seat." Jin Ye Hou said lightly.

"It's fine." Xuanyuan Chun lifted his robe and sat down, looked at Jinye Hou Zhengse and said: "Just now, His Royal Highness sent someone to investigate those dead assassins, but he didn't find anything, the emperor gave me this matter to investigate, I want to ask Hou Ye, have you ever found anything about this matter?" ”

When Kazuha Hou heard this, his face immediately changed.

Among those dead people, there are dozens of people who are the servants of his Jinye Hou Mansion who made a roster, all of them are people from Songtao Courtyard, after such two days, Jinye Hou has already changed from suspicion to affirmation, this matter must be inseparable from Gu Xiaoye!

However, he couldn't understand why Gu Xiaoye wanted to attack his own sister.

Unless, he already knows the truth of what happened back then, and knows that Gu Ruoxi is not his own sister!

Every time he thought of this, Jin Yehou was secretly frightened, originally he thought that Gu Ruoxi's accident in Qingyun Mountain was an accident, but now it seems that this is simply murder!

His wife, conspiring with her son, wants to kill the child born to the woman he loves the most! Just like then!

It's just that Mrs. Kashiba Hou didn't have helpers back then, but now, she has two! One is the crown princess, and the other is the future heir of this Hou Mansion!

Good! That's great!

The truth has not yet been found out, but Kazuha Hou has been disappointed in his wife and son, he doesn't want to think about these results, and he doesn't want to guess what happened, his heart is so upset that he doesn't want to see these news for a moment!

However, there are some things that cannot be escaped.

"Master Hou, what's wrong with you? What are you thinking? At this moment, Xuanyuan Chun immediately stretched out his hand, waved it at Jinye Hou, and asked in surprise: "I, I didn't ask any out-of-the-ordinary questions, did I?" As he spoke, he examined himself.

Jinye Hou hurriedly said: "I'm fine!" ”

Xuanyuan Chun glanced at him, smiled slightly, and said tentatively: "Master Hou, do you have something unspeakable?" ”

Jin Ye Hou looked at his inquiring eyes, gritted his teeth, and suddenly replied ruthlessly: "Among those dead assassins, there are dozens of slaves of the ancient family. ”

"Among the assassins, there are people from the Gu family?" When Xuanyuan Chun heard this, he was taken aback: "Master Hou, you shouldn't have made a mistake, right?" Those servants of the Gu family should have died in battle while protecting Miss Gu, right? ”

"Nope! Not so! Jinye Hou shook his head and said: "Those slaves are not under my family Xi'er, they belong to my son Gu Xiaoye, they should never appear on Qingyun Mountain that day, but when they finally cleaned up the mountain road, they found their corpses." ”

When Xuanyuan Chun heard this, he groaned for a while, and suddenly asked, "Master Hou, is the person who cleaned up the corpse King Jing?" Did he tell you all this? ”

"It's his people who cleaned it up." Jin Yehou said lightly: "However, when I went to investigate the corpses myself, I found the corpses of those slaves, and His Royal Highness King Jing didn't know about it." ”

"I see." Xuanyuan Chun suddenly realized, he looked at Jinye Hou, and said with a complicated expression: "Master Hou, this matter involves your son, you should keep it secret, how can it be ......?"

"Isn't the stream that fell off the cliff and almost died?" Jin Yehou said in a cold tone: "Our ancient family can't tolerate those who have bad intentions!" It is best to find out that this matter has nothing to do with him, if it is really what he did, I will definitely not bend the law for personal gain, and everything will be handed over to the emperor to take it over! ”

Xuanyuan Chun heard this, stared deeply at Jinye Hou's eyes, and praised: "Master Hou! You're a great fan! Rest assured! Whether this matter has anything to do with Gu Shizi, His Royal Highness will definitely find out clearly! A good person will never be wronged, but a bad person will never be spared either! ”

"Then please leave it to the four princes." Jin Yehou stared at him and said slowly, "I don't want anyone to be wronged. ”

"This His Highness naturally knows." Xuanyuan Chun said meaningfully: "Master Hou, can you put aside your flesh and blood affection to report Gu Shizi, can't His Royal Highness put aside the past grievances and handle the case well?" Don't worry, my mother has some festivals with the crown princess, but

I will never deliberately frame Gu Shizi because of this matter, after all, the emperor is watching in the capital, isn't it? ”

"It's for the best." When Jin Yehou heard this, he immediately nodded, bowed deeply to Xuanyuan Chun and said, "Fourth prince, please." ”

"Master Hou doesn't have to be like this, this is within the purview of His Royal Highness." Xuanyuan Chun smiled faintly, looked upstairs, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, after such a long time, I wonder if the second miss has run out of food?" ”

Jin Ye Hou was about to answer, but a low voice came from upstairs: "Back to the Hou Ye, the second lady said that she was sleepy and had fallen asleep." ”

But it's clouds.

Xuanyuan Chun's gaze immediately fell on her, and she glanced at it fixedly, but turned to Jinye and said, "Master Hou, is this the maidservant next to Miss Gu Er?" His Royal Highness heard that the maidservants around her seemed to have died in this assassination? ”

This woman knows martial arts, he can see it at a glance.

Hearing this, Jinye Hou smiled slightly, and said, "You said clouds?" She is the personal maid given to the little girl by His Royal Highness King Jing after this distress, and she knows some martial arts to protect the little girl from suffering such bad luck again. As for the little girl's previous maidservants, it is true that most of them died in this assassination, they are all good girls, desperately protecting Xi'er, and only one survivor survived and is recuperating from her injuries. ”

Since Xuanyuan Jingxi had already said that the clouds could appear in public, he had already explained to Jinye Hou.

"I see." Xuanyuan Chun immediately retracted his gaze: "His Royal Highness King Jing is indeed very careful, and even this has been conceived, His Royal Highness is really ashamed of himself." ”

"What did Your Highness say, you are wise and powerful, and you are capable of doing things, otherwise, the emperor would not have sent you to handle this matter personally?" Kazuha Hou immediately smiled.

Xuanyuan Chun raised his eyes and looked upstairs, but said: "That's it, since Miss Gu Er has rested, then His Royal Highness will come to visit again tomorrow, and I will leave." ”

"I'm really sorry, it's a cold day, so you can run for nothing." Kageha Hou immediately apologized.

Xuanyuan Chun smiled slightly, and said: "Master Hou doesn't have to blame himself too much, it is His Royal Highness who is abrupt, and he should not come to visit at night, this is not in accordance with the rules, so how can I blame you and Miss Gu Er?" ”

The two of them walked and talked, and soon they arrived at the door, and after saying goodbye to each other, Jinye waited to see Xuanyuan Chun leave, and then returned to the upper floor.

Gu Ruoxi really hadn't slept yet, and was sitting on the bed reading by Yun Duo holding a book, Jinye Hou sighed and said, "Xi'er, do you think it's inappropriate for Daddy to tell the fourth prince about your brother?" ”

"Why did Daddy say that?" Gu Ruoxi raised his eyes and glanced at Jinye Hou, and said: "As you said, although this fourth prince was born to the queen, his temperament is still pure and good, and he is not the same as the queen, he is too well protected, those dark in the palace."

The means may not learn much. Since you told him about this, don't worry, anyway, no matter who investigates, the flaw will be found in the end, no matter what, we can't escape. If the queen wants to calculate, it is simply a matter of being able to catch her, the key is whether the emperor wants her to harm the entire Gu family. ”

"Harm the Gu family?" Jin Ye Hou repeated this sentence in a muttered manner, and the expression on his face changed.

Gu Ruoxi raised his eyes and glanced at him, and said with great pity: "Daddy, in fact, you shouldn't expose your brother, the ugliness of the family shouldn't be publicized, let's investigate slowly internally, why do you need to alarm outsiders?" ”

"But Daddy doesn't want you to suffer this grievance for no reason!" Jinye Hou said angrily. "But what can you do if you tell the four princes?" Gu Ruoxi said worriedly, "It's good to find out that it wasn't my brother who did it, if it's really him, doesn't the emperor think that our Gu family has hidden wolf ambitions?" The eldest brother is just a son, and he currently has no official position and no fame, where did he gather so many people? Two or three hundred people! ”

Kageha Hou heard this. His complexion immediately became complicated, and his anger disappeared imperceptibly, replaced by a deep thought.

Gu Ruoxi continued with emotion: "And this is just a dead body, there must be more than these ambushes in Qingyun Mountain that day!" And the mastermind behind all this turned out to be my brother! What do you make the emperor think? Would he think that these hands were actually your father? Or does he think that even my brother has so many people in his hands, so how many do you have in your hands, father? Our Gu family, are we going to secretly rebel? ”

This does not complain about Gu Ruoxi, because of the events of her previous life, she knew that the Gu family would suffer misfortune in the end, but she didn't know whether it was the emperor's hand or the crown prince Xuanyuan Yan, so she had been thinking about this matter secretly, and she would think about it whenever there was a stir. This has become a habit.

"Rebellion?" When Jinye Hou heard this, he was greatly surprised, he looked at Gu Ruoxi, and sighed: "Xi'er, you are too alarmist, right?" The emperor is not such a person, he suspects that no one will doubt me, have you thought about it......"

"Dad, don't be so confident just yet." Gu Ruoxi interrupted: "Since ancient times, no one who sits in that high position will trust others wholeheartedly, in the eyes of my father, you have been born and died several times for the current emperor, he will not doubt you, but have you ever thought about it, in the emperor's heart." He is actually jealous of you, because you know too much of his past, and because of your high achievements! ”

When Jinye Hou heard this, the teacup in his hand fell to the ground, "Smack!" There was a screeching sound.

"Xi'er! Who told you this? How can you, a girl, know so many great truths? After the gaffe, Jinye Hou finally found his senses, he stared at Gu Ruoxi tightly, and asked word by word: "Tell Dad, did His Royal Highness King Jing tell you?" He wants you to persuade me to have dissenting intentions for the emperor, so that I can use it for him in the future, yes or no

？ ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he was a little incredulous. She didn't expect that in Jinye Hou's heart, she would think about Xuanyuan Jingxi like this!

Perhaps the surprise in her eyes was too strong, but Kageba Hou finally realized that he had lost his words, and he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry." It's Daddy who said the wrong thing, but although that King Jing is sincere to you, he definitely has a lot of ambitions in his heart, and Dad will never be wrong! ”

"Dad, I solemnly tell you that His Royal Highness King Jing has never told me anything." Gu Ruoxi said word by word: "He always told me, you don't have to worry about anything, I'll just deal with it, and your recovery from your injuries is the greatest help to me." In addition, I don't know if you've heard a sentence under the nest: under the nest, there are no eggs! ”

Kageba was stunned when he waited for the boarding.

"I remind you of this. It's nothing more than hoping that the Gu family can prosper for a long time, otherwise you and your mother will fall, and I will be duckweed, fluttering and shaky! Gu Ruoxi took a dose of fierce medicine.

Jin Yehou's face changed greatly, he looked at Gu Ruoxi in disbelief, and after a long time, his face eased, he looked at Gu Ruoxi, and there was a touch of pride in his eyes: "It's rare that we still have a clear mind!" Your eldest sister only thinks about her position as the crown princess, but she never thinks about it, if this Hou Mansion doesn't exist, can her crown princess still be stable? ”

"Dad, my sister just loves His Royal Highness the Crown Prince too much." Gu Ruoxi smiled and said.

Hearing this, Kazuba immediately sighed: "This is stupidity! The heavenly family doesn't even have the affection of father and son, can there still be husband and wife love? She can't see through this, and she will have to hit her head in the palace in the future and bleed! ”

"Then she needs her father and mother to help her." Gu Ruoxi didn't think it was wrong.

Jinye looked at Gu Ruoxi fixedly, both pleased with her transparency, but also faintly with a trace of loss.

How good would it be for such a smart daughter to be a man?

The words she said, although there were elements of alarmism, but it was not unreasonable, the number of assassinations this time was too much, this was definitely not something that Gu Xiaoye could resist alone, and the Hou Mansion would inevitably be implicated at that time.

Jin Ye Hou thought about it, but he said with a fluke mentality: "Maybe this matter has nothing to do with your brother?" Let's not mess up ourselves! “

"That's what Daddy said." Gu Ruoxi smiled slightly, but in her heart, she understood very clearly that Gu Xiaoye did this, because only he and Mrs. Jinye Hou would be so eager to get rid of her, besides, who else could hate her so much? Do you have to kill her to be willing?

Never again.

This is the end of the day's conversation, in order to prevent accidents at night, Jinye Hou did not go back to the small courtyard that Xuanyuan Jingxi vacated for him, but ordered someone to move a bunk, and laid a bunk in the hall downstairs.

He wants to take good care of his daughter, what if Xuanyuan Chun makes any more trouble at night? Blood on the orchestra pit.

When the news reached the tent of Xuanyuan Chun, the fourth prince of Xuanyuan, he sat there and couldn't help laughing: "As for it? Your Highness is not hungry, how can he do such a dirty thing? ”

"That's what the prince said!" Zhou Zheng stood aside and replied in a low voice: "It's the heart of the brocade waiter." ”

Xuanyuan Chun heard this, but turned his head to look at Zhou Zheng and asked, "I heard that the two daughters of this Jinye Hou were born to twins, and they look exactly the same, isn't that so?" ”

"I think it should be." When Zhou Zheng heard this, he frowned and thought for a while, and replied: "Even if there is a difference, it is not big. Why did Your Highness ask this? ”

"My father wants me to marry her, let me ask what's wrong?" Xuanyuan Chun raised his eyebrows and said to Zhou Zheng: "I have seen the crown princess in the queen mother's palace, she is indeed a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, her sister, I don't think it will be bad, right?" ”

Zhou Zheng heard this, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness! But that's not all! The subordinates heard that the beauty of this second miss Gu is blue for her sister! ”

"Oh? Is that so? Xuanyuan Chun immediately raised an eyebrow. Don't your Highness know? Zhou Zheng said with a strange face: "Even His Royal Highness the Prince, was hooked by his beautiful sister-in-law, and he begged the emperor several times to marry the Gu family sisters to him, but the emperor just didn't agree, I heard that on the night of the wedding, the prince was drunk, and several people carried him back to the new house!" On the second day, I didn't even go to the tea ceremony! Let the crown princess go alone, embarrassed to death! ”
