Chapter 420: The Nameless Letter
The abduction of the Ninth Princess by Chimu Xinyang was a big matter, so the speed at which Lu Yao and Gu Congyuan rushed back to the capital was also unprecedentedly fast.
When the carriage convoy stopped at the gate of the palace one after another, the incense that was cleaning the gate was caught off guard.
"Wang ...... The prince ...... "Xiangxiang threw down the broom and hugged it with a group of subordinates."
The first thing Gu Congyuan, who looked solemn, did when he got out of the car was to hand over Gu Yuanbao and instructed him to take care of the little young master, saying that he should be cautious these days, in case someone from Akagi Xinyang took advantage of the fire to rob.
Lu Yao looked a little tired, entered the door with the two of them, and asked, "Incense, is there anything unusual in the capital during this time?" ”
Probably didn't expect the two of them to come back so soon, and the incense was still a little sneering for a while, and he didn't react well, he said: "There is no change, everything is calm, it is said that above the court, the differences between the prince and the ministers have become less." ”
Gu Congyuan, who was silent on the side, suddenly sneered and said: "It seems that this king is not in the capital, but they are more at ease, no wonder the emperor has been scolding me for being superfluous in the early years." ”
Who doesn't know that King Cong has been suppressed by the emperor for so many years, and even Yu Lu is half of the crown prince, which is ridiculous in comparison.
Outsiders talk a lot, and sometimes even their own people in the palace will talk about it in private, saying that what is going on with this King Cong can make His Majesty dissatisfied to such an extent.
It can be said that it is just because of the grievances and hatred between Concubine Xiao and His Majesty and the regent in the early years, and Gu Congyuan was involved in vain.
King Cong has endured humiliation and has not rebelled so far, and he is already a person who takes the overall situation into account.
"Lord Wang, don't say that, if you don't have you, who will command these thousands of mysterious camps?" Descending incense hurriedly reassured, "The people in the court have always been a group of rabble, you went to Jiangnan to play all of a sudden, they didn't dare to offend the prince easily, so they had to swallow their anger and let the prince speak." ”
Lu Yao also gradually realized that from the bottom of his heart, he would still feel inferior because of this kind of injustice......
So when she entered the living room, her first cup of poured tea was handed to Gu Congyuan, and said, "The prince is so arrogant, but he shouldn't be." ”
Thinking that he was still in the capital, everyone was afraid, and as soon as he left, the ministers beat gongs and drums happily, Gu Congyuan felt a burst of sadness from the bottom of his heart, but fortunately, he was only sad for a moment.
Other than that, he didn't care about the jumping ants at all.
Gu Congyuan quickly changed the topic and asked, "Last time, I heard Wanshuang say in the book of flying pigeons, what kind of fireworks festival does Akagi Xinyang have to hold, what is going on?" ”
As soon as he mentioned this, Chuan Xiang immediately made a sad face, his face fell, and he sighed again and again: "Alas, Lord Wang, you really missed too many good shows of Dongying people during the time you went to travel. ”
Lu Yao immediately became interested: "How do you say this?" ”
Although Xiangxiang is not a person who comes to the court in person, he can easily hear all the news about the court, he looks very sad, and he raises his forehead and says: "Your Majesty also heard from somewhere that Dongying people like fireworks, and they will set up a festival every year to celebrate, and the virtuous concubine of the harem, that is, the mulberry tea green ......"
As soon as he mentioned this name, Gu Congyuan's face instantly darkened, he had already expected what would happen next, the teacup slammed on the table, and the tea was wet with a red tablecloth.
He scolded in a low voice: "It's really not enough to succeed, and more than enough to lose." ”
"There's nothing to be done, the overall situation has been decided." Xiangxiang shook his head and sighed, "Sang Chaqing clamored to His Majesty that he also wanted to see the fireworks, so His Majesty ordered the experienced Akagi Shinyang to take full charge of this matter. ”
"......" Lu Yao really didn't know where to start scolding for a while.
"Your Majesty is now in a daze, and in order to make Sang Chaqing smile, he made a big show to let people build a lookout at the capital port, just to let the dignitaries watch the fireworks together, at the expense of a lot of financial resources." Fragrance said slowly.
"The old thing is really lustful...... Gu Congyuan was so angry that he scolded a few times, pinched his eyebrows, and only felt a splitting headache.
Lu Yao saw that people had such a headache, and he didn't forget to add a sentence that fell into the well: "If I'm not mistaken, this mulberry tea green was still sent into the palace by His Royal Highness King Cong at the beginning, I thought it was a kind of Hui quality Lanxin, a smart beauty in ice and snow, I didn't expect that the IQ was so low......"
Seeing Gu Congyuan's stiff and embarrassed expression, she only felt happier in her heart, and raised her voice and said: "Oh, His Royal Highness King Cong is not good at employing people, you treat others as chess pieces, and others can regard themselves as Su Daji who has brought disaster to the country and the people." ”
"Lu Yao." Gu Congyuan's forehead was bruised.
Although there were differences between Lu Yao and Gu Congyuan on the eyeliner sent to the palace, now the master's expression was really funny, and he endured it for a while, and laughed out loud.
Gu Congyuan said reluctantly: "I knew that this mulberry tea green brain was filled with paste, and I shouldn't have taken people over in the first place." "It's better to cut this person down as soon as possible like dealing with Su Qingyan.
"Cough, Lord Wang, the matter has come to this, it's useless to say anything more." Lu Yao looked at him with a smile, as if he knew that Shangguan Yu was better now, so he couldn't help but feel happy.
Gu Congyuan glanced at the man helplessly.
He can already imagine the scene in the palace out of thin air, Sang Chaqing, who has no brains, must do everything to seduce His Majesty by relying on fox kung fu, and where will Gu Ji, who is scattered on five stones, still have the courtesy, righteousness and shame on weekdays?
As for Shangguan Yu, she was originally a thoughtful person, what else could she do when she saw that these two brains were not good? Naturally, it was all manipulated by her.
Just thinking about the eyeliner that he had carefully inserted, but it was used by others, Gu Congyuan felt that his heart was stuffy for a while, and he was almost out of breath.
"But this virtuous concubine has actually done a good thing." The road is slow and methodical.
Gu Congyuan was now eager to rush into the palace and break Sang Chaqing's neck, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but say curiously: "Good thing? ”
"That's right, if she hadn't been clamoring to watch the fireworks, Akagi Shinyang wouldn't have rushed back to the capital so quickly." Lu Yao paused, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and said, "Ninth Princess...... He won't bring it back. ”
Gu Congyuan also felt a trace of unwillingness and annoyance in his heart: "So, I should thank her for adding to the chaos." ”
At this moment, a small guy at the door hurriedly came and handed a letter to Lu Yao.
She opened the envelope suspiciously, but she didn't see any payment, but just by the handwriting of the dragon flying and the phoenix dance, Lu Yao recognized who this person was.
On the moon-white letterhead, there are only two uninhibited big characters-
Quick return.
Her brow furrowed.
Gu Congyuan looked at her with a strange expression, and couldn't help but be wary in his heart, and raised his eyebrows: "Madam, whose letter is this?" ”
His Royal Highness King Cong was really vigilant at some times, which made Lu Yao feel afraid, and she couldn't help but flip over the letter and said, "I may have to go back first." ”
"This king will send you." Gu Congyuan was about to get up as he spoke.
"Forget it, I haven't asked the incense about the fireworks festival clearly, so don't go back with me, I'll just take the carriage back by myself." She smiled.
Gu Congyuan naturally didn't want to be by Lu Yao's side all the time, so he let her go.
Previously, when the Sun family and Qingfeng Village were entangled, Lu Xuerou wrote an anonymous letter insulting Sun Shuqi and blamed Lu Yao.
Therefore, when she first got the letterhead, she found that there was no name on it, and she was nervous for a while.
However, when she saw the messy letter paper and the broken words like a dog's planing inside, she was completely relieved.
If it weren't for the fact that it was to be sent to King Cong's mansion to find someone, I am afraid that person would be able to pull a piece of paper wrapped in snacks everywhere to write.
Before Lu Yao walked to the Evergreen Courtyard, he saw the little girl who was probing his brain, and couldn't help but smile: "Hongluan." ”
The man turned around and first showed a smile of surprise: "Miss! You're back! How did you feel this time? ”
"How...... Lu Yao squinted her eyes, and really thought about it seriously, but when she thought about it, the wound on her back was faintly painful, and she didn't want to tell Hongluan about it, so as not to make a fuss, so she changed her words and said, "It's really dizzy to take the boat." ”
Hongluan had never been on a boat from the sea, she thought for a while, and couldn't figure out what the "dizziness" was like.
Lu Yao glanced at the courtyard from time to time, and asked in a low voice, "She's here?" ”
Hongluan nodded and said, "Yes, she is very well-informed, we didn't know that you were back in Beijing, Miss, so she had already sent someone to send a letter over." ”
"Well, I don't know if they came to me again this time to quarrel." Lu Yao stepped in with an unkind face.
The little man still sat on the table unusually, shaking Erlang's legs with a big grin: "You're back?" ”
"Hmm." She answered, walked over and sat down, "What are you looking for me this time?" ”
Wei Lan saw that people's attitudes were extremely cold, and her face couldn't help but look ugly, but she was still patient and said, "Don't look at me so embarrassed, you also know what I'm going to say, Gu Congyuan...... He's a fake. ”
Lu Yao's reaction this time was unexpectedly not as fierce as the previous times, Xu was used to it, she said helplessly: "How is this possible?" Could it be that he also crossed over? ”
"Well, I knew you wouldn't believe me." Wei Lan took out a scroll from his back and said, "However, I have found sufficient evidence this time, you can first look at the person on the painting." ”
With a "bang", the scroll unfolded.
Lu Yao saw the person on the portrait clearly, and his face suddenly faded to bloodless.
