Chapter Ninety-Six: Questioning
The person who was far away in the deep palace subconsciously looked back and glanced out the window.
Staring at the dark night, the young man's dark eyes flashed a little bit of distraction, and even the fierce color with the corners of his eyes was suppressed a little, which was quite soft. Leaning on the window carelessly, he simply turned over and looked lazily into the distance, with a little thought in the young man's expression.
Attracted by the other party's movements, the Son of Heaven behind the desk glanced at it and said lightly: "What's the matter, you look a little inattentive today, is there something wrong?" β
Shen Huai let out a casual "oh", and replied casually: "Xu yes." β
This answer couldn't help but make the Son of Heaven look up at Shen Huai a few more times: he was originally asking at random, and his imperial brother has never been serious, always with a casual expression. It's just that Shen Huai is in the study tonight, but his mind is not on this at all, and he looks like he has been stumped by something.
can stumble on the existence of this person.....
Tianzi's eyes were slightly dark, and the pen in his hand paused and continued to write, he asked casually: "What?" Is there anything you can't solve your troubles in the brocade guard, or is it for others? β
Retracting his gaze and glancing coldly at the Son of Heaven who seemed to be seriously reviewing, Shen Huai sneered: "It's time for the imperial brother to criticize the folds. Isn't the royal brother aware of what is going on in the brocade guards? He lazily turned his gaze away, and his tone didn't fluctuate, "Or does the imperial brother also suspect that I have different intentions and are ready to check my whereabouts?" β
"Nonsense." The Son of Heaven frowned and scolded him, "If you had that heart, I would have saved so much effort!" β
He put down his pen, rubbed the corners of his forehead, and sighed, "If you have time, go and see your grandmother, who is talking about you all day longβwhat do you see me doing?" I didn't tell my grandmother. Grandmother already knew that you were back, but she deliberately didn't announce you to see if you would take the initiative to greet her. β
"I'm not going." Shen Huai replied lazily, "Grandmother is the same as the imperial brother." β
"......." The Son of Heaven speechlessly glared at Shen Huai, who had no dignity at all, sighed, and said bitterly, "Don't be willful." The girl of the Su family has been with your grandmother for many years, and she was also raised in the palace. What's bad? But you refused to marry her. β
"That's a good thing to say." Shen Huai glanced at him, as if smiling, "This imperial throne was won by the imperial brother himself, and the officials in the court and the central government were also promoted by the imperial brother." This position is not good, the royal brother is not thinking about how to sit firmly every day, so he has to stuff it into my hand. β
β.......β
Hurt by Shen Huaiqi's head, the Son of Heaven rubbed the corners of his forehead, and his brows wrinkled into the word "Chuan": "I'm old, I won't sit in this position for long....." He looked up, but saw that the wayward young man had turned around and stared out lazily. The Son of Heaven couldn't help but hold his breath in his chest, glared at Shen Huai, and sighed resignedly: "It's okay, if you don't marry the girl of the Su family, I follow you, and I don't want you to read it, just let you go and accompany your grandmother, which you are always willing to do?" β
Having said this, the Son of Heaven frowned.
Shen Huai's behavior today was too abnormal, and he seemed to be held back by something. His younger brother has always been casual, and he doesn't care about other things, let alone why things are superfluous, and he doesn't seem to take anything in his eyes or in his heart. The Son of Heaven was very satisfied with Shen Huai's temperament in the past-
The emperor's house shouldn't have too many worries.
He pondered: Should we check the person beside Shen Huai......
"Brother Huang," glanced at him lazily, pouting with a bit of coldness, Shen Huai suddenly spoke, his tone was firm, "If you dare to send someone to investigate my affairs, then don't blame me for being too ruthless and letting you break a few people." β
The threat was very serious, and the Son of Heaven did not laugh angrily.
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Huai behind him fixedly: "Oh? In this case, there is someone who really cares about you. Since you don't want me to check ..... I think I want to protect each other, isn't it a woman? β
Shen Huai picked up the fold coolly: "Heh." β
It was already night when I got home.
The carriage quietly stopped in the alley not far from the gate of the General's Mansion, and Luo Feng drove his horse forward in front of Gu Mingxiu's carriage, and said in a low voice: "Miss Gu, we will send it here." If I send you back, I'm afraid that others will be distracted. He grinned, smiling a little silly, "After all, I am the master's personal guard, and General An knows me." β
"It doesn't matter." Gu Mingxiu lifted the curtain and smiled slightly, "Tonight's things are hard for you." β
"It's not hard, it's not hard-" Luo Feng hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Miss Gu, don't worry, we will do a good job of the aftermath to ensure that it is seamless." Girl, please..... Don't be too tired, your subordinates know that the girl is not in good health. β
Gu Mingxiu lowered his eyes, unable to see his expression clearly: ".... Find a place for her and bury her properly. β
"Yes. Rest assured, girl! Luo Feng replied immediately, very confident.
Gu Mingxiu nodded, put down the curtain and told the coachman to go forward.
Waving his hand to lead people to retreat, Luo Feng touched his chin and praised the people on the side: "The future young lady is really smart, even the people behind Ning Fei can guess it." She spoke as if I had seen it with my own eyes, and I was stunned to hear it at the door. β
"Miss Gu is still a very kind girl. Tut-tut, you see, Ning Fei was so calculating her, she still handled her funeral well, and the rest of the Ning family also left a way out. If this is replaced by our master, tsk, tsk, don't kill a river of blood - hey, why do you have this expression? β
Banxia glanced at him and sneered: "Why don't you think about it, how to explain to the master tonight." β
βοΌβ
"Miss Gu didn't let you explain a word to her master, nor did she mention a word about her master. The master asked about this later, how do you explain it? β
β.......β
The carriage stopped at the entrance of the General's Palace.
The little guy guarding the door recognized the driver who was driving the car, and when he saw Gu Mingxiu and Gu Liyi getting out of the car, he immediately came over to lead the horse and prepared to lead the horse back to the horse ring. Qiao Wu smiled and thanked the other party, and then followed the two into the mansion.
Walking along the path back to the courtyard, she saw someone waiting for her on the path.
The boy with the lamp seemed to have been standing at the fork in the road for a long time. He was in a daze with his eyelids down, and when he heard the sound of gentle footsteps, he raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Mingxiu and Gu Liyi lightly, and walked slowly towards them. The young man's handsome face did not have much expression, but a pair of dark eyes, a little displeased.
Qiao Wuxin, who was behind the two, understood that An Yan must be a little dissatisfied with Gu Mingxiu and the others, it was always a family matter, and it was none of his business, so he slipped away after saying a few words with a haha.
"Cousin, why haven't you rested yet?" Gu Mingxiu said softly.
looked at the two of them quietly, but An Yan did not answer. He picked up the lamp and turned around and walked towards another fork in the road, Gu Liyi blinked strangely, and saw Gu Mingxiu walking with An Yan over, she was confused, and hurriedly followed up.
When the two followed, An Yan said lightly: "My aunt wants to see you, so I'm waiting for you here." He paused, his voice unchanged, "You're coming back too late." β
Gu Liyi smiled when she heard this, and she bowed her head and said, "We told my mother when we went out, and we accidentally delayed something. Don't worry, cousin, we-"
"Little cousin." An Yan interrupted Gu Liyi's words, and there was a faint anger in his voice, "I thought that you didn't know that we would be worried. β
After An Yan finished speaking, he didn't say anything, but just quickened his pace and led the two of them to An Li's courtyard. An Li was talking to Xu in the room, and when he saw them coming, he smiled and stood up. After being questioned, Gu Mingxiu said to An Li, but he spoke to Ning Fei late, which delayed him a little longer.
After talking for a while, the three of them took their leave.
When he went out, An Yan was not in a hurry to leave first, but raised his eyes to look at Gu Mingxiu, and said lightly: "Grandfather is waiting for you in the study." He added, "Grandfather asked you to see your aunt as soon as she came back, and he has been waiting for you for a long time." Not only was my grandfather there, but my father was also in the study. β
"It was meant to be. It's just that it's too late," said Anyan, "and grandfather will let you see him tomorrow, and I will go with you to see him then." He had told me to wait until tomorrow to tell you, but I thought it would be better to tell you now. β
When he spoke, the young man's expression was light, and his tone did not fluctuate, as if it was irrelevant to him.
Gu Liyi couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "Ah....?" What did Sister Xiu do? Why do you want to see Sister Xiu alone? β
blinked his eyes and met the other party's expressionless gaze, but Gu Mingxiu understood.
She smiled lightly: "Grandfather is looking for me for tonight's business?" β
"What's going on tonight?" Gu Liyi felt even more confused, she pulled Gu Mingxiu's sleeve, and when she looked at An Yan, her tone was a little lacking in confidence, "Didn't you talk to Ning Fei late tonight, and didn't pay attention to the time to come back later?" Sister embroidery sent someone back and said it, why does my grandfather still look for Sister embroidery? β
"Isn't that unique to you?"
An Yan sneered, glanced at the two of them, and there was a little disappointment in his tone: "Cousin, little cousin, since you entered the General's Mansion, we have never treated you harshly, nor have we treated you with any rustiness, you should see it clearly." β
"Grandfather treats you as a family member and tells us not to bully you, and we are not allowed to mention anything about the Gu Mansion to you again. But your surname is Gu, and now I don't know if you think of us as a family. β
"Cousin, think about it yourself."
An Yan left a word, no longer looked at the two of them and walked away.
Gu Liyi grabbed Gu Mingxiu's sleeve and looked at her in a low voice: "Sister embroidery...."
The girl's expression was faint and there was no emotion.
Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
