Chapter 147: Fear

After drinking the porridge, Gu Qinghuan only felt tired, and wanted to ask about the corruption case, but he lost his strength, and fell asleep again.

This sleep, until nightfall, Gu Qinghuan did not wake up.

Gu He was persuaded by Wang's mother to leave and went back to Yunmengzhai to rest.

The person who was guarding her bedside was still Zhiqiu.

"Miss, how do you feel?" Zhiqiu asked, "Would you like to eat something?" Shi Xia warmed some food in the small kitchen, and he could bring it now. ”

Gu Qinghuan let out a "hmm", slept and was hungry again.

Zhiqiu got up, opened the door and said a few words to Zhiyue, who was guarding the door, and then went to the small kitchen.

Zhiyue entered the door, poured some warm water for Gu Qinghuan, and waited for Gu Qinghuan to drink.

"What about my father and my eldest brother?" Gu Qinghuan asked.

Zhiyue was stunned, she didn't expect Gu Qinghuan to ask her this when she woke up, but she still replied: "After Miss woke up in the morning, Master Hou went out again, and he hasn't come back yet, and the eldest young master also went out in the morning, but came back in the afternoon." ”

Gu Qinghuan said: "Go find my eldest brother, if he doesn't have anything important, let him come to me." ”

"Yes, miss."

Zhiyue said again: "However, let's wait for Zhiqiu to come back from the small kitchen, otherwise the young lady will be left alone in the room, and the slave will not worry." ”

"Hmm." Gu Qinghuan did not insist.

When Zhiqiu came back with food, Zhiyue left to find Gu Jingxing.

Gu Qinghuan insisted on getting out of bed and wanted to eat at the table, but Zhiqiu had to help her.

Maybe it was because he ate something before and slept again, Gu Qinghuan was not so weak that he couldn't take care of himself, with the help of Zhiqiu, he sat down at the table, finished his meal little by little, and his weak body also regained his strength.

As soon as she finished eating, Gu Jingxing arrived.

Withdrawing from the maid, Gu Qinghuan asked Zhiqiu Zhiyue to stay outside the door.

"Body...... How's it going? Gu Jingxing saw that Gu Qinghuan's face was pale, and a look of guilt appeared in his eyes, he blamed him, he shouldn't have mentioned that incident......

"It's fine."

Gu Qinghuan said: "Sit." ”

Gu Jingxing shook his head, "No need, I still have some affairs to deal with, these days...... It's busy. ”

"I'll cut it short then." Gu Qinghuan said, "What's the situation?" ”

Gu Jingxing understood that she was asking about the corruption case.

"It's good for our side."

Gu Jingxing said, "On the side of the Duke of Yasuko, the evidence was prepared early, plus the account book I got from Chen Yuqiu, the second prince has no power to resist, but they have no intention of being arrested, they are still going through relations everywhere and confronting us, I am afraid that the situation will have to stalemate for a while before there can be a result." ”

Gu Qinghuan was surprised, and asked again: "Is there any incriminating evidence pointing to the second prince now?" ”

From Yan Zhao's conversation, she also knew that the person who really reached out to embezzle was Xuanning Hou, and Si Xiuyuan didn't do it from beginning to end.

Now, the evidence they found can only point to the Marquis of Xuanning, and at most it will affect the Chen family, but it can't cause much harm to the second prince's faction.

"Nope."

Not surprisingly, Gu Jingxing shook his head, "The second prince has made preparations since the beginning of the corruption case, so there is no way to find their fault, this corruption case, at most, Chen Yuqiu will be removed from the household department, and Chen Wanshan's power can let Chen Yuqiu return to the officialdom to take up important tasks, but it is only a matter of time." ”

"The second prince is in the middle of the day, and it is not easy to hit his core forces this time." Gu Qinghuan was not disappointed, this result was the best.

"Now, Xuanning Hou has been imprisoned."

Gu Jingxing said again: "Chen Yuqiu is suspended at home, as for the uncle......"

"Gu ...... What happened to Uncle? Gu Qinghuan noticed that Gu Jingxing's expression was strange.

"He's dead." Gu Jingxing's face was dark.

"What?!" Gu Qinghuan was surprised.

Although she didn't have a good impression of Gu Yiwen, Gu Yiwen's death was inevitably too sudden!

"How did you die?" Gu Qinghuan couldn't help asking.

"The handwriting on the account book is exactly the same as that of the uncle, and the emperor ordered the uncle to be sent to the prison for interrogation, but on the day the uncle entered, he had a conflict with the other prisoners in the prison, and the two sides fought together......

Gu Jingxing said: "In the end, three people died, and one of them was the uncle. ”

Gu Qinghuan was shocked in his heart: "This is not an accident. ”

"Everyone knows it's not an accident." Gu Jingxing said, "But no one has any evidence to prove that it was done by the second prince's faction." ”

"That ......"

Gu Qinghuan thought of something, "What about Gu Lingxian?" ”

In the previous life, Gu Lingxian relied on beauty to ascend to the throne, and also took the mediocre Gu Yiwen chicken dog to ascend to heaven, the two complemented each other, and now that Gu Yiwen is dead, Gu Lingxian has no second prince to rely on, and I don't know what her plans are.

"Missing." Gu Jingxingdao.

"Missing?"

Gu Qinghuan was a little surprised, "This ......"

"Not long after the news of the uncle's death broke, she disappeared without a trace with some of her family's belongings and her maid Qingfei." Gu Jingxingdao.

"Wait, Qingfei?"

Gu Qinghuan only felt that his brain was a little confused, "Isn't it Qingfang?" ”

Gu Lingxian's two maids, Qingfang Qingfei, everyone knows that Gu Lingxian values Qingfang more, even if she runs away, according to common sense, she should take Qingfang with her, right?

Why Qingfei?

"No, Qingfang was not taken away by Gu Lingxian, but on the day Gu Lingxian escaped, she stole some money from the house in Xingyuefang and wanted to run, but she was caught." Gu Jingxing said.

Gu Qinghuan frowned, only feeling that this matter was full of weirdness.

"Someone has been sent to investigate." Gu Jingxing also felt that something was wrong, "If you want to know, when there is news, I will send someone to inform you." ”

"Hmm."

Gu Qinghuan nodded, and when he saw that it was not early, he said, "If you still have affairs, go back and deal with it." ”

"Okay." Gu Jingxing is indeed busy, these days, in order to deal with the people who are under pressure from the second prince, he has to deal with the Yasukuni Mansion, and he can't forget the affairs of the household department, and he must beware of someone stumbling on him......

Since entering the officialdom, Gu Jingxing has encountered such a tricky situation for the first time.

It's just that he walked a few steps, couldn't help but stop, and turned his head to look at Gu Qinghuan, "Qinghuan ......"

"What's the matter?" Gu Qinghuan raised his eyes to look at him.

Looking at the pale and bloodless little face, Gu Jingxing opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he thought of Gu Qinghuan's last time he was stimulated and unconscious, he closed his mouth again, shook his head and said, "It's nothing." ”

Gu Qinghuan stared at him for a while, and suddenly said, "If you really want to make it clear, when the matter is over, call your father and explain the matter clearly...... What should have been resolved early has dragged on for so many years, and it is time to give a result. ”

When Gu Jingxing heard this, his heart tightened, and for some reason, he was a little scared.

Yes, scared.

Looking at his sister's calm and cold face, Gu Jingxing was afraid that she would be farther and farther away from himself and from this home......
