Chapter 18: Leaving the House in the Middle of the Night
When Zijia went back, Gu Jinzhi had already entered the house, and at this time, there were not only Gu Jinzhi and Su Jiu in the house, but Wu Yao was also called over at some point.
The evidence and witnesses were already there, and Zijia also carefully called the owner of the jade shop, Nalan Ci knew the reason, but just asked the owner of the jade shop a few words and sent him out of the house.
Now everything can be called a combination of stolen goods, and Wu Yao naturally has no room to beg for mercy. Nalan Ci looked at Wu Yao, who was kneeling on the ground, and said:
"But what else do you have to say?"
"There is nothing to say." Wu Yao also accepted his fate, and Lin Baiqiu was useless for the last time that day, so he had already made all plans in his heart.
"In this way, you don't have to pack up your things, then everything was originally rewarded by the mansion, take the money you saved every month, and go out of the mansion."
"Slave Xie Wangye......"
Wu Yao kowtowed three times to Nalan Ci and was about to leave, but at this time, Gu Jinzhi was a little confused, he just wanted to find out the truth of the matter, not to mention that Wu Yao had not yet explained where the hairpin that should have belonged to him had gone, and Nalan had dismissed the family, and he was still a little reluctant to go.
"Lord Wang, I just want to give myself justice, but I never thought that I would let Wu lose the mission of the palace, if he lost his job because of me, it would not be my fault."
Nalan didn't speak, but Zijia approached Gu Jinzhi and told him that the palace has the rules of the palace, and Wu Qian was kicked out of the mansion for framing his master, and Gu Jinzhi didn't say anything after hearing it.
But when Wu Yao just walked out of Nalan Ci's door, he never thought that Rusu would come and stop Wu Yao, and brought him to Nalan Ci together, and Rusu handed over a letter written by Lin Baiqiu to Nalan Ci, Nalan Ci exhaled a long breath after reading it, and then instructed Wu Yao to let him go to Lin Baiqiu to serve in the future, but there is one point, in the future, Wu Yao can only do inferior work in Lin Baiqiu's yard, and cannot be promoted.
Wu Yao knelt down and thanked him for his long sigh of relief, but fortunately, Lin Baiqiu seemed to be moved by himself, so he was able to stay in the palace.
followed Rusu back to Lin Baiqiu's yard, at this time Lin Baiqiu was feeding the white jade parrot she had raised since she was a child in the courtyard, when she heard footsteps coming, Lin Baiqiu looked back and saw Rusu and Wu Yao.
Retired from everyone around him, and for a while, only Lin Baiqiu, Rusu and Wu Qian were left in the small courtyard:
"Wu Yao, in the future, you will do errands in my courtyard, you used to be in the mansion with such an identity, and everyone respects you a little, but now it is not what it used to be, I protect you because it is still useful, so I hope you are cautious and careful, and you must not be enemies with others in my courtyard."
"The slave thanks the princess for retaining, in the future, the princess will be the most important thing, and all the things that the princess will explain, the slave will give up this life and answer it. What the slave promised you at the beginning, it will be done. ”
Lin Baiqiu's slender phoenix eyes narrowed, and with a smirk, she stepped forward to help Wu Yao:
"Look what you said, I promise you don't want you to do anything unreasonable, but one thing you have to remember, you promised me to do it, but after you did it, I didn't force you to do it......"
Lin Baiqiu had something to say, and Wu Yao of course understood it, she clearly wanted to let herself help deal with Gu Jinzhi, and then she had to clean herself up, but Lin Baiqiu's approach was not wrong, after all, in this palace compound, who doesn't want to protect themselves?
The matter of the jade hairpin came to an end, but Nalan resigned from the courtyard and lost Wu Yao, and the subordinates did things carelessly and out of proportion, just like losing the backbone, and everyone didn't know how to do good things.
Nalan Ci wanted to transfer Zijia back to the courtyard to be in charge, but he thought that Gu Jinzhi had no one who could take care of him except Zijia, so Nalan Ci finally couldn't hold back anymore after the maid sent the tea with a poor water temperature for the seventh time, and called someone to bring the folds and seals that he needed to review on weekdays, and Nalan Ci actually moved to the side hall of Jinlan Pavilion to live.
Nalan Ci is living leisurely and leisurely, but it hurts Gu Jinzhi, the last time Nalan Ci lived because he was injured, so Gu Jinzhi took care of Nalan Ci, and he was not afraid of what he could say. Now a good Prince Rong is under his nose every day, and even sits together when he eats, Gu Jinzhi can't eat and sleep well every day, and the whole person has lost a lot of weight in three days.
Nalan Ci didn't find Gu Jinzhi like this at first, until the end of this day, Nalan Ci finished reading the day's excerpts, and wanted to breathe in the courtyard of Jinlan Pavilion, but found that Gu Jinzhi poked his head out of the room, looked left and right and saw no one, and quietly ran out of the courtyard.
Nalan Ci was suspicious, how could Gu Jinzhi come out so late in the middle of the night, and the people who were on duty in front of his room didn't know where they went. Nalan Ci was full of questions, so he secretly followed Gu Jinzhi and followed him all the way to the kitchen.
Because there are regulations in the palace, I am afraid that someone will steal food in the middle of the night, so the kitchen will be locked, Gu Jinzhi squatted down at the front door of the kitchen, and after a while, the kitchen door was opened, Nalan Ci looked at it from the secret place, and thought in his heart, Gu Jinzhi, who seemed to be gentle and elegant, did not expect that there was a good technique of Liang Shanggongzi, and the lock was opened after a while.
Seeing people entering, Nalan Ci also stepped forward boldly, and secretly watched Gu Jinzhi looking for food in the kitchen in the door, when Nalan Ci saw Gu Jinzhi pick up a plate of snacks placed on the table, ran in and immediately scolded him, this sound frightened Gu Jinzhi who was holding the plate, and a plate of ideas fell to the ground.
Gu Jinzhi looked at the person who spoke with a weak heart, and when he saw that it was Nalan Ci, the whole person was not good:
"Lord Wang, what, why are you?"
Nalan Ci raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Jinzhi:
"Jinzhi, did Zijia not tell you that there was a curfew in the palace, or did you knowingly violate it and didn't want this king to punish you?"
"No, no, no, I, I didn't eat enough at night, I was so hungry that I couldn't sleep, and I was even more hungry after drinking half a pot of water, so I didn't run to the kitchen to find something to eat after half a day."
Nalan grimaced, watching the person in front of him do things and lowered his head and pulled his cuffs, pretending to be stern, he couldn't pretend to be a little unbearable. Nalan scolded Gu Jinzhi just now, not because he didn't want him to eat, but because in this kitchen, I don't know how long that snack has been there.
The rules of the house, if the dim sum is not eaten that day, if you are afraid of wasting, you can feed the livestock, and besides, it is the middle of the night, it is hot in the summer, and this thing is put for a day, I am afraid that it will not be good, Nalan Ci was completely worried that Gu Jinzhi would eat a bad stomach before stopping it.
The sound of 'grunting' came from Gu Jinzhi's stomach, and Gu Jinzhi was red from his face to his neck, and by the moonlight, he seemed to be a little drunk, it looked really beautiful, Nalan Ci saw that the beauty was like this, and he had been living by himself for several months, he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, but fortunately, Nalan Ci was extremely determined, so he coughed to cover his interest.
Nalan Ci walked to the stove, looked at the stove that was completely devoid of sparks, and shook his head:
"The fire has been completely extinguished here, and it's not good to call someone to get up in the middle of the night to get you food, the curfew was an order from this king, and now if you regret this king's face, I'm afraid there will be nowhere to put it, so you go back to Jinlan Pavilion with this king to change into light clothes, and this king will take it to find something to eat."
Gu Jinzhi kept thinking about whether Nalan Ci would punish him, but he didn't expect that Nalan Ci didn't blame himself and brought him to find food, so Gu Jinzhi didn't react in a hurry, and immediately ran back to Jinlan Pavilion.
On the way out of the house, Gu Jinzhi was held tightly by Nalan Ci, and Nalan Ci walked in front of him in high spirits, but Gu Jinzhi kept an eye on the surroundings at all times, for fear that someone would suddenly see the two of them like this, but fortunately, no one walked on the avenue at night, except for the two of them, of course.
In addition to the inn, the shops on the side of the road also have lanterns at the entrance, and then the whole street of Hongliu Street is brilliantly lit.
"Lord, let's go back, I'm afraid it's this time, and there is no store open, I'll go back quite well, and I'll have dinner when I get up tomorrow morning."
Nalan Ci was a little embarrassed, because he seemed to vaguely remember that when he was a child, he secretly ran out of the palace, and there were always those stalls selling food on the street.
Nalan stopped in place with a single step, Gu Jinzhi's stomach happened to ring again, Gu Jinzhi withdrew his hand, rubbed his slightly painful stomach, and his face was very unpleasant.
Before Nalan resigned, he wanted to take Gu Jinzhi to eat, but he forgot why he didn't eat enough at night, so when he thought of this, he opened his mouth to ask.
"This king saw that the dishes for dinner were quite good, and even added venison from the palace, why don't you eat more?"
"I, I don't dare to ......" Gu Jinzhi replied in a very low voice, but in the dead of night on the street, Nalan Ci still listened to it truly.
"Don't dare? It's not the first time you've eaten with this king, so why don't you dare? ”
'I don't get full every time I eat with you, can I say?' Gu Jinzhi sighed to himself in his heart, but he still didn't have the courage to say this.
Seeing that Gu Jinzhi lowered his head and was silent, Nalan Ci couldn't do anything about him, he looked back and forth, and there was indeed no food on the street, Nalan Ci thought about it, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he took Gu Jinzhi and strode away from the street.
After three or four turns, Gu Jinzhi's whole person was stunned, but Nalan Ci was extremely clear. Finally, Nalan Ci saw a family, only to see him pull Gu Jinzhi and knock on the door.
Knocking on the door in the middle of the night is always annoying, and I saw that the owner of the house was not very happy, and the voice that was not very happy came from inside:
"Who?"
"This king ......" Nalan didn't say much, but the two words immediately made the people inside move faster.
The door creaked open, and a man dressed in an undergarment, cloaked, and sleeping with his hair unkempt, opened the door.
