The matter on the court's side can be regarded as inseparable.

Even if the fifth prince Gu Huaiyuan has little experience, he is still very attentive to this mission, and in the midst of everyone's helplessness, he can arrange various matters in an orderly manner - even if he seems to be unreliable.

Now he is playing the role of a red face, and he will be escorted down by the Li Governor's Mansion, whose heads are torn apart by two women, while Lu Yao and Gu Congyuan went to the side room to visit the children who escaped death.

Those immature girls were trembling, wrapped in the clothes that Lu Yao had purchased for the next few days ago, some holding hot tea in their hands, some holding pastries in their hands, all of them still looking terrified, but it could be clearly seen that they had a lot of peace of mind.

"It's really pitiful, at a young age, I have to meet a beast like Li Zhifu, and the experience of being domesticated as a beast may be unforgettable in this life." It was rare for these words to come out of Gu Congyuan's mouth.

Lu Yao couldn't help but look at the man.

I saw him staring blankly at the children in the room, Gu Congyuan was standing in an inconspicuous corner of the gray light, although the whole person was tall and majestic, the sense of presence was not so strong.

It is precisely because of this that His Royal Highness King Cong, who has always been resolute, suddenly seems very lonely.

Lu Yao thought of his childhood experience, and he couldn't help but breathe.

Gu Congyuan was definitely not a man with a lot of pity, if he hadn't really experienced that kind of pain, he would definitely not have said that.

Presumably, when he was young, he was not less abused and scolded by the Shadow Pavilion Lord, presumably the Pavilion Lord's expectations for him must be very high, which will create His Royal Highness King Cong who is beyond everyone's reach today.

It is precisely because of that heavy scheming that Lu Yao can't help but imagine how painful the injuries he has suffered.

"It's rare to see you so emotional." She looked at the man and smiled bitterly.

Gu Congyuan turned his head slightly, and said with a smile: "Just say a casual word, don't think too much." ”

"The devil believes you." Lu Yao gave him a blank look, as if he was very dissatisfied with his behavior of enduring the pain alone.

"Oh," Gu Congyuan suddenly smiled, "Then my wife is a cute ghost." ”

“…… Where did you learn it? Lu Yao's old face couldn't help but blush.

Gu Congyuan pointed to the girls who were chattering not far away, they were secretly looking this way, as if they saw Lu Yao looking back, they turned around and hid embarrassedly.

Lu Yao smiled and shook his head: "It's really amazing." ”

"Alright, seeing that they are almost rested, it's time for them to go back, and their parents are still waiting outside." Gu Congyuan said slowly.

Lu Yao nodded, and the two of them got busy, sending each girl to their parents in person, verifying their identities, and seeing the official government to record the people's origins, so they put the girls back with peace of mind.

At the end, there was a little chubby dun, I don't know what Governor Li tied him up to do, that person and his parents were born round, as soon as the parents saw their son come back, they hurriedly stuffed a fried chicken leg over, and cried and said: "Oh my son!" So much weight lost in two days! ”

Lu Yao silently looked at the three balls hugging each other, and thought quietly in his heart: "Fortunately, Wu'er has not yet arrived." ”

Gu Congyuan seemed to see what she was thinking, quietly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, knocked her head again, and asked knowingly, "What are you thinking?" Yuanbao and Weifu's bodies don't seem to be so round, right? ”

Lu Yao turned his head and glanced at the person, as he wished, praised it profusely, raised his thumb and said: "Yes, yes, our Royal Highness King Cong, when you are twenty-eight years old, you will let the girls in the capital go crazy for you, and naturally you have a good figure with wide shoulders and narrow waist!" ”

"......" Gu Congyuan didn't know why, but from her exaggerated praise, she heard a little contempt.

By the time the children were paired one by one, it was already twilight, Lu Yao clapped his hands, put away the scroll, and said, "Seventy-eight children, all of them have just found their families, no more, no less, just right!" ”

"Xiangxiang and Chu Huaiyu are still in the inn, it's not early, let's call the fifth child, let's go back to eat." Gu Congyuan was also a little tired, he stretched his waist and turned around, "Gu Huaiyuan!" ”

"Second brother is here!"

The fifth prince ran out in a hurry, and when he saw that the two of them were going back to the inn, he scratched his head embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "You guys go back first, I can live here, there are still some things that the Li family has not yet dealt with, and I have to deal with the follow-up clearly!" ”

Gu Congyuan was stunned, then glanced at him appreciatively, and said, "Why didn't you find out that you were so serious in the court before?" ”

Gu Huaiyuan was even more embarrassed when he heard this, he pursed his lips, and his whole person twisted: "Oh, second brother, what is it...... Then I wasn't a little transparent before! Who can notice me in the court? Even if I'm ambitious, I won't be cared about in the end, this time it's different, this time thanks to your advice for me, and thanks to the resourcefulness of the second sister-in-law, all the way, I successfully closed the case, right? ”

"You're going to be flamboyant." Lu Yao paused and said, "There is a very prosperous storytelling boundary not far from Jizhou, why don't the five princes go and have a good time?" ”

Gu Huaiyuan waved his hand again and again: "No, no, no...... Where do I have that ability? ”

"Second brother and sister-in-law, don't worry, anyway, there are a few of my guard brothers who grew up together here, and the scum of the Li family don't dare to do anything to me, and the rest are all old, weak, sick and disabled! You go back and have a good rest, and when you leave for Beijing, I will drive a carriage to find you! ”

He patted Gu Congyuan on the shoulder, this action was very unkind and intimate, obviously treating Gu Congyuan as his own family.

Gu Congyuan and Lu Yao never thought that they really had no intention of inserting willows and willows, and this time Jizhou handled the case, and they actually made a friendship with the fifth prince Gu Huaiyuan, which was really amazing.

Only when he heard the phrase "the guard brother who grew up since childhood", Lu Yao noticed that Gu Congyuan had a strange expression, obviously thinking of the treacherous Chang Shan and Wan Shuang.

She didn't want to say anything, after all, it was useless to say more, and the damage caused by the two of them to Gu Congyuan needed time to slowly heal......

At this time, Xiangxiang and Chu Huaiyu, who were waiting at the inn, were not idle, and when the sun was waning, the eldest lady of the Chu family was picking vegetables and washing vegetables, and she also made a braised pork by the way.

Even if the kitchen was filled with smoke, scaring the innkeeper into thinking that the inn was running out of water, Chu Huaiyu successfully ran out with the braised pork and successfully sent it to the table.

The incense hurt her shoulders and arms, so there were very few people who could help that person, but Chu Huaiyu didn't care at all, this was the first time in her life that she was so enthusiastic about going to work.

When Lu Yao and the others rushed back, the shopkeeper basically put the dishes on the table in a comprehensive manner, because today is the day when the Li Governor's Mansion is completely arrested, this banquet is very rich.

"Let's eat." Gu Congyuan was hungry, and he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and he didn't pay so much attention to it, so he stretched out his chopsticks to clip it.

Lu Yao was stunned, she opened the chopsticks that were a little wrong in Gu Cong's distant direction, looked at a plate of black things in the center of the table without words, and asked with difficulty: "I smelled a smell of paste when I came in, so ...... Is that a new dish from the store? ”

As soon as she heard this, she couldn't help but lower her head and smile.

"I don't think so! Perhaps the store felt that the weather was cold, and specially sent a large pot of charcoal fire to keep us warm, this small shop is quite exquisite, and even hit the charcoal fire into the porcelain plate. "Hongluan is also at the table, talking serious nonsense.

Gu Congyuan turned his chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs and said: "I see, I thought that someone was trying to frame this king, or it was safer to eat other dishes." ”

"......" Chu Huaiyu hugged his arms in disbelief, "Hey, you're too shocking, aren't you?" Any idea what that is? ”

As soon as I heard her dissatisfied tone, and looked at her tangled expression, several people suddenly petrified, and then realized what was going on.

"Isn't it? Miss Chu can also cook? Lu Yao looked at her in disbelief, his eyes wide.

Chu Huaiyu hugged his arms, raised his chin, and said very proudly: "Yes, this is Miss Ben's secret braised pork, what's the matter, it was specially made for you to catch the wind and wash the dust, aren't you moved?" ”

Lu Yao shook his head into a rattle: "Don't dare to move, don't dare to move......"

"What!" Chu Huaiyu was so angry that he put down his chopsticks, explained seriously, and said, "If you take a closer look, it's not that it's actually mushy, but that the sauce made me put too much, and it won't be okay if I eat it, you guys are really cowardly!" ”

Gu Congyuan looked at the plate of braised pork, and his brows furrowed: "This thing...... Can you eat it? ”

So, in front of everyone's eyes, he picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth, chewed and swallowed it without changing his face and heartbeat, and confirmed: "I can eat it, in fact, it tastes good." ”

Chu Huaiyu was stunned, she was still talking in a tone just now, and for some reason, she suddenly blushed, and she couldn't say a word.

"That ......," she said after a long time, "Oh, Miss Ben has never cooked before, so if you don't like it, don't push yourself!" I'm not bad, but I'm not very good at cooking, you don't have to ...... Don't be yourself. ”

She clutched her skirt tightly, and fine beads of sweat could not help oozing from her palms.

Gu Congyuan and Lu Yao looked at the two of them, and they consciously felt the unusual atmosphere, and they closed their mouths in amusement, and let the two of them come.

"Incense never deceives, Miss Chu is sincere, and she can feel it." He laughed.
