"It's okay to ride in a carriage." Gu Ruoxi said lightly, she didn't want to say much, but in just one sentence, she had already explained her condition and her mind.

It seems that she agreed with what Xuanyuan Chun said, returned to Beijing early, and investigated the whole matter as soon as possible.

Jinye Hou listened, but asked with some concern: "Xi'er, do you want to think about it again?" Going back to Beijing early like this really has no effect on your injuries? ”

"Dad, after the treatment of Imperial Doctor Liang in the past few days. I'm much better, I don't have typhoid fever, do I? When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he immediately explained: "It's just that the injury on the arm is more difficult to treat, but with the chalcedony paste sent by the emperor to Gonggong Gao." They're slowly starting to heal, and it won't take long for them to get better. ”

"It's because you didn't get typhoid fever that I don't want you to go back to Beijing!" When Jin Yehou heard this, he still had a worried look on his face: "In case you get infected with the wind chill again on the way, it will be fatal!" Dad is so worried, please, don't be in such a hurry, it's important to catch the real murderer, but your own body is the most important, isn't it? ”

Gu Ruoxi heard this. Quite helpless: "Okay, Dad, my daughter listens to you." ”

A smile appeared on the face of the broba.

Xuanyuan Chun stood quietly aside, watching the conversation between the father and daughter, and it was not difficult to see that Jin Yehou loved his daughter very much, and Gu Ruoxi also loved her father. This kind of deep relationship between father and daughter is rare among the royal family.

Xuanyuan Chun suddenly became envious.

However, he had to interrupt the conversation between father and daughter who loved each other: "Master Hou, His Royal Highness Rong Ben reminds you, in half a month, it will be the New Year, you are not ready to return to Beijing, do you want to return to Beijing at that time?" What if the road is closed by heavy snow? Can you bear to take your daughter to celebrate the New Year in this wilderness? ”

Jinye was stunned for a moment, how could he forget about this!

Xuanyuan Chun said again: "My father's intention is to investigate this matter clearly before the year. ”

When Kazuba Hou heard this, his brows immediately furrowed deeply.

Gu Ruoxi said in the tent: "Dad, just listen to the four princes!" Let's leave as soon as possible and return to the capital is the right thing. ”

Xuanyuan Chun heard this on the side, but sighed, he didn't expect that the father was not as clear as his daughter!

"Alright! That's all there is to it! Kazuba sighed heavily.

On the fifth day, Gu Ruoxi was helped down from the bamboo building by the purple clothes Yunduo and others, and sat in Xuanyuan Chun's carriage, not to mention, his carriage is really big, it is not crowded with twenty or thirty people inside, it is warm inside, the temperature is comparable to the bamboo building, and all kinds of tea and pastries are very complete, Gu Ruoxi took a look after going up, and felt very satisfied.

Brocade leaves wait on the horse

The car looked inside, then lowered the curtain, and said nothing.

Everyone's luggage has already been packed, as for the corpses parked by the river, Xuanyuan Chun only selected the dozen or so descendants of the Hou Mansion, and a few representative assassin corpses to bring back, and the rest of the people were all left here, sending troops to guard them, what if they were used again a day later?

Jin Ye Hou sat in the carriage he rode in when he came, and Xuanyuan Chun, because he gave the carriage to Gu Ruoxi, so he randomly chose a subordinate carriage to sit in, although the layout was not as good as his own carriage, but he was the same as sitting in his own carriage.

Moreover, he seemed to be in a super good mood.

When a few subordinates around him saw it, they couldn't help but pout, and many people were quietly talking over there: "Do you say that our Highness is having a spring heart?" I've never seen him so generous before! Lord Huajun wanted to ride, sit, His Royal Highness didn't agree, I didn't expect this Second Miss Gu to be so powerful! Let the prince make an exception! ”

"Don't you understand this? Our prince is anxious to return to Beijing! The second miss Gu was injured and couldn't stand the bumps, and if something happened on the road, the emperor would definitely blame our prince after she went back, in order to return to the capital as soon as possible and complete this task, our prince reluctantly let Miss Gu Er ride! ”

"Oh, I see!" Several guards couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Everyone was talking lively, and everyone was hit on the head a few times, and when everyone turned around, they saw Zhou Zhengzheng standing there with a blue face.

"Captain Zhou!" Everyone shouted in a low voice, and their faces changed, and they no longer dared to speak.

"It's all idle eggs, isn't it? Go to the back and help with the luggage! Less chirp here! Zhou Zheng snorted coldly.

"Yes!" Several people immediately made bitter faces and hurriedly walked towards the back of the team.

Zhou Zheng raised his eyes and glanced at the carriage where Xuanyuan Chun was sitting, his lips hooked, revealing a shallow smile.

Not only the guards just now, but even he felt that his master's performance today was a little weird.

But that's a good thing, isn't it?

The journey was really slow. Perhaps for the sake of taking care of Gu Ruoxi, it took everyone two and a half days to arrive in the capital in just one and a half days and a half.

However, Gu Ruoxi didn't feel that there were many bumps on the road, Xuanyuan Chun's carriage was indeed very comfortable to sit in, and in the two and a half days, she was sleeping for most of the time.

At first, Jinye Hou came frequently to see if she was uncomfortable, but it turned out that Gu Ruoxi was sleeping like a little pig, which was extremely sweet, and later, he never visited again until the carriage arrived at the gate of Jinye Houfu.

Jinye Hou ordered people not to let Gu Ruoxi get off the carriage, he immediately sent someone into the house, prepared a thick sedan chair, and placed a charcoal basin under the seat until he felt that the sedan chair was in

It was very warm, so he told Liuli to wake up Gu Ruoxi.

"Miss! Wake up! The Hou Mansion has arrived! Liuli shouted a few words in Gu Ruoxi's ear.

Gu Ruoxi was just pretending to sleep, and when she heard this, she slowly opened her eyes, and sat up with the help of the glass purple clothes.

"Home? So fast? Gu Ruoxi asked in surprise.

Xuanyuan Chun, who was not far away, listened to Gu Ruoxi's confused words, but he couldn't help but laugh lightly. But as soon as the smile bloomed, he put on a new face.

The next moment, he suddenly heard an exclamation from the carriage: "Oops! Miss, your clothes are dirty! ”

Xuanyuan Chun raised his head in surprise and glanced over here, his eyes full of doubt. Shangyang is in Ba.

Jinye Hou also heard the exclamation, he almost wanted to break into the carriage, and his tone was very anxious: "Xi'er! What the hell is wrong with you? Tell your daddy? ”

"No, it's nothing, Dad, don't worry, I'll get out of the car right away." Gu Ruoxi's tone was secretive, but there was also a look of chagrin, as if she had done something wrong.

When Jinye Hou heard this, he was even more worried: "It's really nothing?" ”

"No, Daddy!" The next moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Gu Ruoxi emerged from the carriage.

Kageha Hou glanced at her, and then relieved.

Gu Ruoxi slowly got out of the carriage with the support of Liuli, and then quickly got into the sedan chair with a charcoal basin carried out from the Hou Mansion, and went all the way into the mansion.

No one noticed that the purple clothes were still in the carriage and did not get off.

It wasn't until Xuanyuan Chun's guards came to take away their carriage that Ziyi got down from the carriage, but Jinye Hou had already entered the mansion, so no one asked.

Xuanyuan Chun glanced at her thoughtfully.

After all the people of the Gu family entered the mansion, Xuanyuan Chun slowly returned to his carriage, and as soon as he got up, he began to look around in the carriage.

There is nothing more, nothing less, the calligraphy and paintings of the Ming people on the wall of the carriage, the rare antiques on the coffee table, there are a lot of them, Xuanyuan Chun's eyes floated over these things one by one, and finally landed on the soft couch on the car.

Along the way, the woman rested on it.

However, because Gu Ruoxi wore a veil in and out, Xuanyuan Shu still couldn't see her appearance clearly.

He walked over and slowly sat down on the couch, and suddenly felt a cold feeling of water in his hand.

Xuanyuan Chun immediately lowered his head, quickly glanced at the place at hand, and saw that there was really a small piece of wetness, and he couldn't see it if he didn't look carefully, but the strange thing was that there was a faint fragrance on this blanket.

That water should be clear water or tea, Miss Gu Er is so careless?

Xuanyuan Chun was surprised for a moment, but he bowed his head without giving up and continued to work on the blanket

searched for it.

But there was no more.

Xuanyuan Chun thought, probably, when the second lady of the Gu family drank tea, she really spilled the tea on the blanket, right?

And what he didn't know was that in the courtyard of Zhiyu, as soon as Gu Ruoxi returned to the upper house and sat down, Liuli immediately rummaged through the cabinets, and finally found out what to bring for a few months, and said to Gu Ruoxi: "Miss, there are only a few left, you use them first, and the slave maid will sew some more." ”

Gu Ruoxi hummed in a low voice, but turned his head to Ziyi and asked, "Have you cleared that trace?" ”

"Don't worry! With my shot, there will be absolutely no problem! Ziyi smiled lightly, but teased: "Who would have thought that your menstrual affairs would not come sooner or later, and come at this time?" Fortunately, we have already returned home, otherwise, we might have made some jokes! ”

"Yes. It's just the most embarrassing thing! Gu Ruoxi said in a low voice, but at this moment, there was a guard outside through the window to report: "Second Miss! There is a father-in-law in the front yard who has come to deliver the message! ”

When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he was immediately stunned: "How could there be a will at this time?" ”

"Miss, if you want to receive the order, Master Hou will pick it up, you are not in good health, so you were injured, this is something that everyone knows. I don't want to blame the emperor, you just lie down and rest. Ziyi said on the side.

"No, the will should have been handed down to me." Gu Ruoxi muttered, the expression on her face was very complicated.

When Ziyi heard this, he was stunned.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Jinye Hou to personally bring Gao Gonggong to her courtyard.

"See Hou Ye! See Gao Gonggong! As soon as the two of them entered the door, the few remaining servants in the courtyard, including Ziyi, all knelt down to ask for Ye, but everyone gathered together and there were only a few scattered, and the scene looked very desolate.

When Father-in-law Gao saw it, his brows immediately furrowed: "Master Hou, you haven't filled the vacant position next to the second lady?" “

"I've just entered the door. I didn't have time! Jinye Hou hurriedly said.

Gao Gonggong nodded and said, "You have to hurry." The emperor attaches great importance to this matter, by the way, if the Hou Ye is busy, why don't you choose the maids around the second lady and let the old slave do it for you? “

"How dare there be a father-in-law?" When Jin Yehou heard this, his heart chuckled for a moment, and his face was immediately full of smiles: "Actually, on the way back to Beijing, Ben Hou has carefully arranged all the people around the little girl, and he just needs to take a look at Xi'er at the end, and this matter is done." “

"I see." When Gonggong Gao heard this, he looked at Jinye Hou fixedly, and then he didn't care much about it.

The two of them stepped into the upper room of Zhiyu Courtyard.

The main purpose of Father-in-law Gao's visit this time was to see with his own eyes how injured Gu Ruoxi was, which was also the emperor's explanation to him. He told Jinye Hou straightforwardly, and he didn't waste time at all. I went straight to the ancients

Wakakei's bedroom.

Father-in-law Gao is a eunuch, so there is no need to avoid suspicion.

Gu Ruoxi had expected this to be the case, before the two of them entered the door, she had already sat up from the bed supported by purple clothes, wearing a heavy cloak, and only one face was exposed.

"Dad, Grandpa Gao, why are you here? I, I'm weak, so I won't invite you to leaves, please forgive me...... "Gu Ruoxi said a little weakly. In fact, it is true, she has a period, and her lower abdomen has a dull pain. No need to pretend, she is also like a patient.

When Gonggong Gao saw her like this, he was taken aback: "Second Miss, why are you so sick?" When the four princes entered the palace to report before. Say you're mostly recovered......"

"Isn't it a bumpy ride in a carriage! Even a person with strong limbs will be unbearable, not to mention that Xi'er is still a weak woman who has just experienced life and death and is covered in injuries? Kazuba interjected. He didn't know that Gu Ruoxi had a period, although he was also surprised to see her like this, but he quickly made up the reason.

"I see." Gao Gonggong said with emotion: "Second Miss has to take care of herself, otherwise, the emperor will be worried!" ”

Kageba waited on the side to listen to this, but somehow he frowned fiercely, but when he thought about it carefully, he couldn't find any flaws in his words.

"The emperor is worried about his family and country, where does he have time to worry about my little girl? I don't dare to worry the emperor. Gao Gonggong said it seriously. Gu Ruoxi heard this. replied lightly. The meaning of the words is also meaningful.

Gao Gonggong couldn't help but be stunned. But after all, he was cunning and cunning, and the next moment, the most beautiful smile bloomed on his face again: "What the second young lady said is, but you are the daughter of Jinhou, and the emperor values it, which is also right." ”

Gu Ruoxi smiled silently.

Seeing that what he should say had been said, he snapped his fingers at the moment, and soon, several eunuchs walked in from outside the door, all holding a boxy brocade box in their hands, hollow and carved, inlaid with gold and jade, very beautiful.

Just by looking at this box of brocade leaves, you can know that the contents must not be ordinary. Sure enough, as soon as Gonggong Gao spoke, he almost doubted his ears.

"Second Miss, the emperor remembered that you suffered a great calamity this time, so he ordered his servants to send twenty Tianshan Snow Lotus, three bottles of chalcedony plaster, and ten thousand-year-old ginseng......

He babbled and read more than a dozen kinds, all of which were rare medicinal materials that were hard to buy in this world. Carry on the ditch.

This was not only Jinye Hou's surprise, but even Gu Ruoxi couldn't help but be stunned.

What is the emperor doing? She was only slightly injured, why did he send so many things?

She looked at the brocade boxes held by those eunuchs, and combined with the words that Gonggong Gao had just meant, Gu Ruoxi had a very bad premonition in her heart.

This hunch made her have

Some gagging.

However, after reading the gift list, Gao Gonggong was very proud, he glanced at Gu Ruoxi and Jinye Hou with a smile, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, Second Miss, the things that the emperor ordered our family to send are all sent by our family, Master Hou, please check it." ”

"Gao Gonggong acts, he can be trusted!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, and immediately a guard stepped forward and took the brocade box in the hands of several guards.

Gao Gonggong stood up and said: "That's it, our family will go back to the palace, originally the emperor sent our family over to let the slave maid take the second lady into the palace, but unfortunately, she is so sick, so I won't mention this!" Looking back in front of the emperor, our family will say more good things for the second lady and the Hou Ye. ”

"Thank you father-in-law!" When Kazuha Hou heard this, his face couldn't help but stiffen, and he smiled very reluctantly.

Gonggong Gao turned his head to Gu Ruoxi, smiled slightly, and said: "Second Miss, you are about Ye Xin's body, but you must not go wrong again, as for the heads of assassins who dare to ambush and kill people around the capital, the emperor will personally investigate this matter thoroughly, Second Miss rest assured!" “

"The emperor wants to check it himself?" When Gu Ruoxi heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Wasn't it originally scheduled for His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince?" ”

"The four princes assisted from the side, and the emperor personally investigated thoroughly." Gao Gonggong smiled and said: "This is also, the emperor attaches great importance to the Hou Ye!" Master Hou, did you say? ”

A smile froze on Jin Yehou's face, and he nodded hurriedly: "What you said is true!" ”

Gao Gonggong smiled and walked away with people.

Jinye Hou sent them out of Jinye Hou all the way, and when he came back, he sat on the edge of Gu Ruoxi's bed and suddenly sighed.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Gu Ruoxi asked knowingly.

"Xi'er! How nice it would be if you were a man! Jin Yehou suddenly raised his head and stared at her deeply, full of emotion.

"Why did Daddy say that?" Gu Ruoxi raised her eyes and asked.
