"The hairpin was originally brought by the master from home as a gift to you and me, and now that you are broken, you will take this one of mine and wear it, and you can use this to comfort your heart when you miss your relatives at home on weekdays."

After that, Nalan Ci took out the hairpin in his hair and handed it to Gu Jinzhi, who looked at the jade that heated up in his hand and turned red in the middle.

"This hairpin is very magical, it can even change color...... Gu Jinzhi kept playing with it in his hand, and saw that the red in it was getting deeper and deeper, so it felt very magical.

Seeing that Gu Jinzhi liked it so much, Nalan Ci was also slightly happy in his heart, but when Nalan Ci looked at Gu Jinzhi in a trance, Gu Jinzhi, who was staring at the jade hairpin, seemed to have found some clues, only to see him restrain his smile and turn his head to look at Nalan Ci.

"Just now you said that this hairpin is a pair, it is exactly the same kind?" Nalan Ci didn't know why Gu Jinzhi asked this, so he nodded slightly.

Gu Jinzhi sighed and walked back to the table, he picked up the fragment of the broken hairpin, and compared the two, he saw the difference. Gu Jinzhi's expression changed slightly, he took the good hairpin and the broken one, walked to Wu Yao, who was kneeling on the ground and bowed his head, and squatted down.

"Aunt Zijia, you go back to Jinlan Pavilion first, the peacock hasn't been fed just now, Yun'er is too young to take care of it, I'll go back to Jinlan Pavilion by myself in a while."

Gu Jinzhi opened his mouth, but he didn't talk to Wu Yao, who was staring at him, but let Zijia leave first. Zijia raised her head and looked at Nalan Ci on the side, Nalan Ci nodded, and Zijia left the room.

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Gu Jinzhi took a long breath and asked Wu Yao in a somewhat trembling voice:

"Wu Yao, I am respectful to you on weekdays, and I never treat you as a subordinate, but today, why do you want to trap me in injustice, I have to tell the prince that the hairpin given by the prince was broken by me. That's all, but the hairpin you sent to this hairpin is obviously completely different from the prince's one. ”

"Childe, what are you talking about, the slave doesn't understand......" Wu Yao lowered his head, his eyes kept turning left and right, because of his weak heart, Wu Yao's words were completely unconfident.

Nalan Ci did not interject from the side, what he originally gave as a prince, according to the rules, if there is damage, it will be punished heavily, even the princess will not escape this. But this hairpin is Gu Yan's own son, so it is not a thing given by himself.

Besides, even if the thing he gave was just a hairpin, Nalan Ci was not so careful.

Today's incident just heard Zijia say, it was Wu Qian who didn't give up and finally made trouble for him, Nalan Ci just asked Gu Jinzhi why it was broken, and when Gu Jinzhi said that he didn't know, Nalan Ci felt that something was wrong.

"The hairpin you sent me is obviously not the one I sent to me, the evidence is here, how can you still quibble?" Gu Jinzhi was a little puzzled, although he had seen fewer valuable things, but because of painting, Gu Jinzhi, who likes to observe subtleties on weekdays, still saw the difference between the two hairpins.

Wu Yao finally raised his head, there was a slight panic in his eyes, but it was not easy to be noticed:

"Childe, you have to have a certificate when you speak, the prince asked the slave to send you something, even if the slave has ten guts, it will be regarded as a replacement. The rest is just that, this high-quality mutton fat white jade hairpin, a slave, where can there be such a precious thing to exchange? ”

Gu Jinzhi was stunned by Wu Yao's rebuttal, what Wu Yao said was also reasonable, although he was the head of the Nalan Resignation Academy, but how could he be a subordinate, this mutton fat and white jade and gold were rare, where was what he could have as a subordinate in the house.

Gu Jinzhi was a little distracted, he really couldn't figure this out, but just as he was out of his mind, he heard Nalan Ci's chuckle on the side, Gu Jinzhi turned his head to look at Nalan Ci, a little angry:

"What are you laughing at, you are well-informed, you see, they are not the same hairpin at all." Gu Jinzhi took it and walked in front of Nalan Ci, Nalan Ci looked down perfunctorily and nodded.

"This king didn't see anything different, if you don't have full evidence, let Wu Yao out, stay here, who will do his work."

"Lord Wang, I know that there have always been many intrigues in the royal court, but what I haven't done, I don't want others to wronged me. This thing was originally replaced by Wu Yao, since I started, I must clear my grievances, even if the prince did not punish me, I will find out and show the prince. ”

After speaking, Gu Jinzhi leaned down towards Nalan Ci, turned around and left the house, Nalan Ci only felt that Gu Jinzhi's appearance was extremely cute, and he couldn't help but smile more presumptuously on the corner of his mouth, but Nalan Ci quickly turned his head to look at Wu Yao, and the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly retracted.

"Okay, Wu Yao, don't kneel here, go out."

Wu Yao listened to Nalan Ci's words, and thought that Nalan Ci would question him after Gu Jinzhi left, but he thought that Nalan Ci actually believed in himself, so Wu Yao sold his good deeds and immediately left the house, but Wu Yao didn't know that not long after he left, Nalan Ci called Su Jiu into the house.

Nalan Ci sat in the room, playing with his jade wrench, and Su Jiu stood in front of him, waiting for Nalan Ci to give an order.

"Su Jiu, how long have you been with this king?"

"It's been almost twenty years since I went back to the prince."

"This king remembers that Wu Qian entered the mansion back then, because of your relationship, right?"

"Yes, Wu Qian is kind to his subordinates, because his family background is really not good, so the slave thinks that it is a good place to let him enter the mansion as a subordinate."

Nalan Ci nodded, these Su Jiu had told Nalan Ci that Nalan Ci had wanted to meet thieves halfway when he quit the mansion that year, because the other party was quite numerous, Su Jiu left in order to protect Nalan Ci safely, so he stopped many thieves alone, but when Nalan Ci returned to the city and brought troops out of the city, only the thieves who died were left, and Su Jiu was gone.

Su Jiu can be said to have grown up with Nalan Ci since he was a child, and what Nalan Ci has learned, Su Jiu has basically listened to it, although he is famous as a master and servant, but Nalan Ci has long regarded Su Jiu as a brother, and that time Su Jiu sacrificed his life to save him, and Nalan Ci remembered his life-saving grace.

Without Su Jiu's figure, Nalan Ci immediately ordered to search for Su Jiu, and finally found Su Jiu in a small village outside the city. It turned out that Su Jiu was seriously injured at that time, but he still defeated everyone, Su Jiu was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and when he woke up, he had been rescued to this village, and the person who saved him was Wu Yao.

Su Jiu was rescued back to the prince, but after he recovered from his injury, he was found by Wu Yao, Wu Yao said that he was in a difficult situation, so he begged Su Jiu to find an errand for the sake of saving his life, Su Jiu is a person who will repay his kindness, so he mentioned it to Nalan Ci, and Wu Yao entered the house.

It is precisely because of Su Jiu's cover that Wu Yao was the lowest subordinate in the palace, and it didn't take long for him to become the head of Nalan Ci's courtyard, although Nalan Ci gave Wu Qian a lot of power in his own courtyard, but it has not been reused, because Wu Yao can come here, everything is because of Su Jiu's relationship.

Thinking of this, Nalan Ci took the jade wrench back:

"Su Jiu, I remember that this king once rewarded a pillow with mutton fat and white jade, but now you still use it?"

"This ...... Jade pillow, I ......"

"You sent Wu to owe, right?" Nalan asked provocatively, and Su Jiu immediately knelt on the ground on one leg.

"Please forgive the prince, Wu Yao is a life-saving grace to his subordinates, that day the prince rewarded the jade pillow, just went out and met Wu Yao, Wu Yao seems to be full of love for the jade pillow, his subordinates are a person who practices martial arts, and they don't need to get used to these good things. Thinking of the hard life he had lived before, his subordinates gave him the pillow. ”

"What kind of sin you have, what this king gave you is yours, and this king has no advice on who you want to give. But Su Jiu, the jade pillow you gave me is afraid that something will cause trouble. ”

Su Jiu raised his head and looked at Nalan Ci, he didn't know what Nalan Ci meant, how could the pillow he kindly gave to Wu Yao cause trouble.

Nalan Ci looked at Su Jiu's face and told him what happened today, Su Jiu also understood the reason, but he didn't understand, what was the reason for the broken hairpin and the jade pillow he gave to Wu Yao?

Su Jiu's stupidity made Nalan helpless:

"Speaking of which, you still don't understand what's going on? The jade hairpin that this king asked Wu Yao to send turned red with warm tentacles, but Wu Yao sent it to Jinlan Pavilion, and said that it was the one that Jinzhi broken, and it was clearly not the hairpin that this king asked him to send. Wu owes nothing but a master, and he can't get such a good thing as mutton fat and white jade, so this king thought of the jade pillow he once gave you, and pondered the relationship between you, so he made a bold guess. ”

"Does the prince think that Wu Yao took out the jade pillow given to him by his subordinates and carved it into jewelry? Impossible, Lord Wang, Wu owes him that although he is poor, he is definitely not that kind of person. ”

"His personal service by the side of this king is not short, this king could have taken him as a confidant, but why did this king not mention this matter for a long time, although Wu is smart, but his heart is not right. Have you ever thought that he saved you in the first place, maybe because you carried the token of Prince Rong's Mansion at all times? ”

In fact, if it weren't for this kind of thing happening today, Nalan Ci didn't want to tell this thing and hurt Su Jiu's heart, Nalan Ci knew what kind of person Su Jiu was, and when he was about to take Wu Yao to the mansion to do things, Nalan Ci had already sent someone to the village to inquire about Wu Yao.

Wu Yao's reputation in the village is not good, he has always hated the poor and loves the rich, but he did not give birth to a good family, because he disliked the poor neighbors in the village, and he didn't even say a word when he met on weekdays.

Su Jiu had already reached the age when he should marry, and Nalan Ci had mentioned this matter to him many times, and he had also chosen many daughters of ministers' families, but Su Jiu was stunned and did not agree to one. Through Nalan Ci's observation of Su Jiu during these times, he also felt that Su Jiu seemed to have different feelings for this Wu Yao, and every time Su Jiu met Wu Yao, his eyes were shining when he looked at Wu Yao.
