Gu Peiqing entered the Rui Wang's Mansion for the first time, and the maid who led the way took him around, and the carved beams and paintings swept in front of his eyes, and finally stopped by a pond, the maid blessed her body, and said: "Master Gu, after crossing this bridge, the house opposite is the Poetry Pavilion, which is the venue of the poetry meeting, and the slave maid went down first." Gu Peiqing nodded, and saw that the maid turned around and left.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, dyeing the surface of the lake with golden scales, and he stepped on the stone bridge, and he did not appreciate such a beautiful scenery, and his pace gradually increased. A girl on the bridge was concentrating on painting, and when Gu Peiqing passed by her, she was throwing the pen back, and the ink flew straight to Gu Peiqing's white placket. She hurriedly turned around and looked at Gu Peiqing, her face suddenly turned crimson, Gu Peiqing waved her hand, and said "It's okay" but was stopped by the girl.

"Childe, I will definitely compensate you for this dress of yours, and please leave your name and residence, and I will ask the subordinates to send you new clothes."

Gu Peiqing saluted and said, "Miss doesn't need to take it to heart, there is something to do next, take the first step, and say goodbye." ”

When the girl saw him leave in a hurry, she was annoyed and muttered to herself: "I am Princess Jueya, and this person who has no vision will let me touch it next time, and he will definitely make his life uneasy." ”

As soon as Gu Peiqing entered the Shiwen Pavilion, he found that there were already a lot of people here, they were either sitting at the table writing something, or chatting with wine glasses, or leaning in front of the window to taste the wine alone, he glanced at it and didn't see Princess Rui.

Suddenly someone patted him on the shoulder, it was Wu Yueran, seeing him today, he felt that he was in much better spirits, and there was Lord Qi standing next to him, Gu Peiqing obviously felt that Lord Qi swept away the melancholy of the past, and there was a gentle color between his eyebrows and eyes.

"I'll talk to Pei Qing for a while, Aqi, you go to find Feiming and Xinyue first." Wu Yueran stroked her hair, she smiled and bent the corners of her eyes, and said softly, "Okay." ”

Watching her leave, Wu Yueran handed a glass of wine to Gu Peiqing, "Why are you here today?" ”

"I'm here to find the secretary of the Criminal Department."

Wu Yueran showed a puzzled look, "Why are you looking for the book of the Criminal Department?" ”

"My best friend is in distress, and I have to ask him for help."

"Which best friend is so important?"

"Red Silk Girl."

Wu Yueran was dumbfounded, stunned for a while, and said, "You are close friends with the Red Silk Girl?" The random expression became serious again, "Pei Qing, don't do stupid things, it's not worth it." ”

Gu Peiqing looked around again, but still didn't see Princess Rui, he asked, "Why?" ”

"Now you are still from the eighth grade, and it is not worth mentioning in the court. Shangshu of the Criminal Department proposed to establish a prince more than ten days ago to support the eldest prince, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is already a great prince. If you go to beg him now, you owe him a favor, even if he doesn't woo you, in the eyes of others, you are a member of the Great Prince's faction, and he will get rid of you while you are not yet in the climate, you are simply on fire. ”

Gu Peiqing replied indifferently: "I really didn't think of so much before, thank you Brother Yue Ran for the reminder, but I still have to go, I have to let her get rid of suspicion and get out of prison." ”

"Okay, Pei Qing, this is your choice, I won't stop you again. It's just that this criminal department Shangshu has never participated in such a poetry meeting, and you can also see that the people who come are all young people, the peers of Rui Wangye. ”

Gu Peiqing looked around again and found that what Wu Yueran said was right, the people in the room were either young boys or beautiful women, he was stunned, and he didn't understand the meaning of the note that Princess Rui gave him.

But he had to go to the Ministry of Criminal Affairs anyway, he knew that what Princess Rui said was right, Zhang Minchao was unreliable. He hurriedly pushed open the door of the Shiwen Pavilion, and saw Prince Rui standing at the door with Princess Rui in his arms.

"Lord Gu, but you're leaving now? The poetry meeting hasn't started yet. "Princess Rui is not the iceberg beauty face during the day, at this time her face has a faint soft light, and it looks a little more charming.

Gu Peiqing saluted and said in a deep voice: "There is no one I am looking for in the poetry club, so I will leave first." ”

"Then you're going to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department?"

"Yes."

"Okay, good, do you know the consequences of going to the Criminal Department Shangshu for help?"

"Brother Yue Ran has already told me about the danger just now."

"Then can Master Gu be sure that he will protect himself in the whirlpool of power and not be harmed?"

"No, but for the sake of Miss Scarlet, I do."

"If the Red Silk Girl can have a best friend like you, she will definitely have no regrets in her life."

"I care about her." Gu Peiqing suddenly answered the question, he himself was stunned for a moment, as if he had suddenly opened his mind, and the red silk girl sat in his heart.

At this time, Lord Rui laughed, and he shouted to a subordinate in the distance: "You go and prepare a horse for Master Gu and send him to the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department." He turned his face to Gu Peiqing again, "Master Gu, I hope you are doing well." ”

Gu Peiqing thanked him and left quickly.

"If you want to send him to the Great Prince's faction, just tell him directly where the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department is, why invite him to the poetry club?" Lord Rui looked at Gu Peiqing's rapidly disappearing back, turned his head and asked.

Princess Rui rarely hooked the corners of her lips: "I won't push him to the side of the eldest prince, you and I are now far away from right and wrong, and if you are watching the fire, why do you need to participate in this?" It's just that I want to see what Fei Ming's mind is. ”

"You and I both know that he is not a good match for Feiming, and one day Feiming remembered the matter between her and Zhang Yu, how do you tell her to choose."

"I just hope my sister is safe and well."

Gu Peiqing drove the horse all the way, and suddenly heard a series of horses' hooves behind him, and the voice calling his name. At this time, they were almost at the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, so he took the reins and stopped. The maiden slowed down the horse's hooves and walked slowly towards him.

"You're out, are you okay?" Gu Peiqing opened his mouth, he couldn't help but smile reassuringly, the corners of his lips just rose, and he instantly understood something, he smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "You are not the red silk girl, it turns out that I guessed wrong, but you never told me." The sparkle in his eyes went out.

"I was just playing tricks on you, and it was interesting to see how determined you were. At the moment when you were bruised by the arrows of the Five Princes, I was so afraid that you would die, and I would not know who I was until I died. ”

"But you still haven't told me."

"So now that I'm here, you can't go to the Criminal Department Shangshu."

The horses of the two got closer and closer, but Gu Peiqing's eyes were full of indifference: "I'm just a toy for your pastime, my business has nothing to do with you." He pulled the reins and made the horse turn around, and the obedient horse took a step and walked away with his back to Shen Feiming.

Shen Feiming suddenly felt that this scene was so familiar in his mind, and there was once a person who rode a horse like this and left full of disappointment for her. At that time, she did not chase the horse, and her heart was also extremely angry, hating the person who left, and even cursing him for not dying well, and her heart ached terribly.

Her heart told her not to watch him go anymore, or she would fall into deep remorse. Shen Feiming rode his horse and chased after him, and soon he was side by side with Gu Peiqing.

She looked at Gu Peiqing's face, and the indifferent expression had dissipated. "I just made a show for you," Gu Peiqing laughed, "I want to tease you when I see your nervous look." ”

"You!" Shen Feiming pursed his lips angrily, lowered his head and soothed his eyebrows, "You're not angry now?" ”

"I see that you are safe and sound here, and you are already at ease, how can you still be angry."

"But if I don't catch up, you're just gone?"

"Don't worry, I'll catch up with you."
