(9) Confusion

After a few more days, the sky was completely clear, and the snow on the eaves of the branches was getting less and less.

As soon as Lian Qingjue got out of the palace gate, he saw Fan Yao hurriedly walking towards him.

"Childe, that Wu Jingtang is dead."

"Huh?"

Lian Qingjue knew that Fan Yao and their attack would not be so light and heavy, this Wu Jingtang had not yet pleaded guilty and been detained, how could he suddenly die?

"It was found when Wang Jiahai went to interrogate him this morning, and I found him to see it, he died around the clock last night, he wrapped his clothes around his neck, tied them to the prison door, and strangled himself to death."

"Heh, I didn't die after holding on for so many days, why did I suddenly find a short-sighted?"

Lian Qingjue walked to the front of the carriage as he spoke, and before getting into the carriage, Lian Qingjue seemed to feel something, turned around and looked to the other side, and sure enough, he saw Cai Yong standing there, sneered at himself, and turned around and got on the sedan chair.

"Fan Yao."

"The subordinates are here."

"Give you a day to clean up the portal."

"Yes."

When he learned that Wu Jingtang was dead, Fan Yao also thought that it was Du Xingsi who was a traitor. Hmph, since you dare to betray your son, then don't blame me Fan Yao's six relatives for not recognizing it.

"That son, now that Wu Jingtang is dead, the prime minister's people in the Ministry of Rites will not be so easy to find out, but how can it be good?"

The two got into the carriage, Fan Yao said hurriedly.

"Don't be anxious, it's a fox, it's always showing its tail." Lian Qingjue sneered: "It should be a year ago, Liu Zhongliang's matter made him uncontrollable." Although Liu Zhongliang is not his most important chess piece, without this move, if he wants to win more, he will have to spend more effort. ”

……

"Brother, it's your birthday in a few days, what do you want?"

At night, when Lian Qingwan came back from duty, she rushed to her brother's room.

"Birthday?" Lian Qingjue smiled: "If you don't say it, I really forgot." ”

"I knew you would forget, so I came to ask you."

Lian Qingwan walked to the bookcase, pulled out the file in her brother's hand, and said, "Brother, tell you what you are serious, what do you want?" I'll do my best to get it for you. ”

"I want it...... Lian Qingjue stretched out his hand and rubbed Lian Qingwan's head, and said, "I want your relationship with Liu Tinglan to be settled as soon as possible, so I can rest assured." finally lived up to my father's entrustment. Seeing that you are about to be eighteen, I have checked Liu Tinglan, he has a good character, and he is a person worthy of being entrusted for life. ”

"Well, I'm talking about you, why did it happen to me again?" Lian Qingwen pulled down the hand on her head and said, "You know to urge me, then I want to ask you, why has Master Gu never come since that day to return the food box, did you do something to make him angry?" ”

"Heh, what does it matter to me if he doesn't come?"

Lian Qingjue shook his head and said.

"Hmph, duplicity." Lian Qingwan glanced at her brother and said, "I already knew that I shouldn't have come to ask you." That's it, I'll take care of your birthday. ”

"Then there's Sister Lao."

Seeing Lian Qingwan coming in a hurry and leaving in a hurry, Lian Qingjue began to muttered in his heart because of his sister's words: Could it be that he was really annoyed with me that day?

……

And at this time, Shangshu Mansion.

"My lord, are you going to rest?"

"My lord? My lord? ”

"Huh?"

"My lord, what happened in Lord Lian's mansion that day? Why have adults been in a daze since then? ”

Gu Huaigu scratched his head, helplessly looked at the person who didn't know when he started sending again, and asked tentatively.

"Go down."

Gu Caizhi came back to his senses, calmly put down the file in his hand, and said.

"Oh."

Although he knew that it was impossible for adults to answer him, Gu Huaigu was still a little disappointed, and then walked out slowly.

"Hmph, that Lian Qingjue is really unreasonable."

In the past few days, whenever I sat down quietly and was about to go through the file, what appeared in my mind was the warm and smooth touch of that person's approaching face and lips that day.

"Is it possible, is it really as he said, I, like him?"

Gu Caizhi stared at the bright and extinguished candles on the table, and couldn't help but feel confused.
