CHAPTER XXIV

Gu Nanye had already returned to the post house in the capital, and was summoned to the palace after resting for a while.

Looking at the room full of people in the Heart Cultivation Palace, Gu Nanye said: "The minister's father has been in poor health recently, and the minister wants to relieve his armor and return to the field to serve in front of the bed. ”

"Aiqing!" Emperor Yongdi was taken aback and said: "Aiqing is young, it is the time to serve the country, how can he be relieved and return to the field?" ”

Gu Nanye glanced at Zuo Zhiheng, who was also surprised, and said: "The minister left home at a young age, and he never fulfilled his filial piety in front of his parents, and the world scolded me for ignoring humanity. Now my father is sick and unable to run the family business, but someone impeached me for imprisoning my own father and robbing the family property. The minister thought about it, and now that the war in the dome is about to stop, it is the time for the minister to go home and fulfill his filial piety. ”

Emperor Yong hurriedly said: "Which bastard is orchestrating you again, just tell me, I will punish him heavily!" People in this world just like to be jealous of the virtuous, Gu Qing don't go to his heart. Although the Qiu Qiong soldiers retreated, how could they leave you to guard the border passes and rectify the border army? It's still up to you to preside over the overall situation. ”

Zuo Zhiheng was panicked in his heart, the book sent back by Jinling was still in his study, he hadn't found anyone to participate in Gu Nanye, Gu Nanye himself ran to the emperor to complain.

The emperor bitterly wanted to stay with Gu Nanye, but Gu Nanye insisted on going home to fulfill his filial piety, and after many discussions between the monarch and the ministers, it was decided to let Gu Nanye temporarily return to his hometown for half a year, and then decide whether he would stay or go when the emperor returned from the expedition.

Gu Nanye generously handed over the talisman of the Xiling Army and walked away freely.

Looking at his back, Zuo Zhiheng's heart was extremely cold.

If Gu Nanye refuses to hand over the talisman, he has his own way to let Gu Nanye's hare cook dead dogs and hide all birds; But he retreated as advance, and when he was at the height of his edge, he exchanged the emperor's trust in this way, and when he returned to the court in the future, he was afraid that earth-shaking changes would occur in the court!

Until midnight, the people in the Heart Cultivation Hall finally dispersed, and Zuo Zhiheng stuffed a note into the hand of Gonggong Hu before leaving the palace.

Gonggong Hu sent the note to Zuo Guifei overnight, and Zuo Guifei immediately opened it and looked at it, and it was written: Kill Jinling Gu!

*********

Summer is the best place to sleep.

Under the green screen window of the main house of the Gu Mansion, Qu Muge was wearing a goose-yellow cotton silk shirt and skirt and was lying on an emerald green bamboo bed to rest.

The breeze slowly blew in through the green leaves and red flowers outside the window, and although the breeze was still warm, it did not prevent her from having a good dream.

In the dream, it is rare that no one bullied Ye Taohua, and it was quiet.

She sat by the Tai Chi window of Taixuanguan, holding a fan in one hand and shaking it gently, and holding a white porcelain bowl in the other, which contained chilled plum soup, which was drunk in midsummer, especially relieving the heat.

In the afternoon, the sun shines through the bayberry trees in the courtyard, and a few small finches jump around in the shade of the trees, playing as if jumping on a grid.

Ye Taohua tilted her head and looked at it, feeling interesting, and couldn't help but smile a little quietly.

"My sister is in a good mood today?"

A strange man who Qu Muge had never seen walked in, sat down in front of Ye Taohua very familiarly, and took a bowl of plum soup from the cold porcelain jar by himself, and after taking a sip, he sighed comfortably: "You are still the most comfortable here, the plum soup in the hot summer is simply fairy water." ”

Ye Taohua lowered her head slightly, and shouted jerkyly: "Cousin said that he laughed, this is just something for us countrymen to relieve the heat, and the ice dew made in the palace is much better than this." ”

Qu Muge carefully looked at the "cousin" who appeared in the dream, handsome and bright, with a warm smile, wearing a flying fish and a spring embroidered spring knife around his waist, this outfit actually looked like a brocade guard.

The two cousins drank plum soup and talked about homely things, but Qu Muge gradually couldn't hear what the two said.

Suddenly the sound of footsteps came from her ears, waking her up from her dream.

Qu Muge rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bamboo bed, and looked at the white porcelain bowl of plum soup next to the bamboo bed, a little in a trance.

Gu's maid Huanhuan ran in from behind the bead curtain, and the bead curtain shook, and there was a clanging sound.

Qu Muge looked up and whispered, "Lighter, the lady is asleep." ”

Huanhuan ran to the bamboo bed and sat down, and said in Qu Muge's ear: "The porter has received news that the general has left Beijing and will be back soon!" ”

Qu Muge suddenly lifted his spirits and asked happily, "Come back to Jinling?" Who sent the message? ”

"The one next to the general is named Feng Hu."

Qu Muge got out of bed and put on his shoes, and advised: "You stay here, Madame will tell her the good news when she wakes up, and I will go to the front to take a look." ”

In the guard room in the front yard, Feng Hu had already met Fan Wading and was squatting on the ground eating watermelon.

Qu Muge trotted over and greeted him happily: "Brother Tiger, you're back!" ”

"Miss Xuan'er." Because Feng Husan ate the watermelon in two bites, he stood up and greeted Qu Muge.

Qu Muge said: "I thought that after you and the general entered Beijing, they would go directly back to the Xiling Army camp, why did you go back to Jinling again?" ”

Feng Hu sighed and said: "The Xiling Army can't go back, the general has resigned from the post of commander and handed over the military power, we have to change our words in the future, we can't call the general, we can only call the Hou Ye." ”

Qu Muge didn't hear it as a joke, his face suddenly drooped, and he asked anxiously: "Why did you enter the knighthood but lose your official position?" What's going on in the capital? ”

Seeing that the little girl was bluffed, Fan Washui patted Feng Hu on the shoulder and said, "Speak well, it scares everyone." ”

Feng Hu smiled honestly: "Don't worry, girl, nothing happened." ”

Then he told the cause and effect of the emperor's personal expedition and Gu Nanye's initiative to disarm and return to the field.

Qu Muge patted his chest and calmed down: "Madame will ask later, you can't scare Madame like this." ”

"Okay, okay, I was wrong."

Qu Muge's mood jumped again.

Gu Nanye is back, and he will stay in Jinling for half a year.

That's nice!

Feng Hu saw that she was in a good mood, so he wanted to tease her, and said, "Although Master Hou took the initiative to resign, there was actually something wrong in the middle, and it was related to the girl. ”

Qu Muge asked nervously, "I, what's wrong with me?" ”

She thought a lot for a while, is it related to her life experience, or is it related to the Zhao and Chen families?

He really caused trouble for Gu Nanye.

"The scripts and lyrics written by the girl to the Hou Ye have all been transmitted to the capital. The adults in Beijing took this to participate in the Hou Ye, saying that he bought the hearts of the people. The girl should be careful, this time the Hou Ye came back to settle accounts with the girl. ”

Qu Muge blushed for a while, and asked in a panic, "How do you know that I wrote it?" ”

Feng Hu said "hehe" twice, and glanced at Fan wading with his eyes.

Fan Washui felt that he was the one who made a small report, and was a little embarrassed, and said: "Everything related to Hou Ye has to be investigated, this is our responsibility." ”

Qu Muge didn't blame them, but he was a little embarrassed to think that what he wrote was known by the parties.

"I originally felt wronged for Master Hou, so I wanted to change everyone's opinion of him, but I didn't expect to cause him trouble. The adults in the capital participated in the Hou Ye, did the Hou Ye resign and go into hiding in order to protect himself? What can I do, am I in trouble? ”
