Gu Mingzhu's face changed slightly, and quickly returned to normal: "It must have been sent by the General's Mansion, let's go back and see it later." ”

Here and Xie talked all the way, and only said goodbye and parted when they arrived in front of Yusheng Courtyard.

When she entered the Yusheng Courtyard, her face was very ugly, and her steps became anxious: "Where did you send it?" ”

In the past, Gu Qing and the Mao family asked Cui Yi to send the news on their behalf, and it was Cui Lin and her, but this time they avoided the Cui family and sent it to her, it seems that it was not sent by the General's Mansion.

Who would that be?

She couldn't help but lift it in her heart, and she had a faint feeling of unease.

It wasn't until I saw the letter that the uneasiness finally crept in.

The letter was sent by Gao Zhantuo, and there were not many words, only a few words: ...... The queen mother's birthday is imminent, please return to Chang'an immediately to congratulate the mother on her birthday.

Gu Mingzhu was stunned for a moment with the letter, the Queen Mother's birthday was going to call her back to celebrate her birthday, this is not a strange thing, but it was not the Queen Mother's Feng Zhao, but it was a private message, and it was sent from Gao Zhan's mansion.

Gao Zhan is the commander of the imperial city guards, and he is also one of the most trusted people of the Queen Mother, and it is indeed the Queen Mother's intention to send this letter, but what kind of situation will make the Queen Mother have to let Gao Zhan quietly send the letter?

She pinched the letterhead for a moment, frowning and not letting go for a long time.

When Cui Lin came back later, she handed him the letter, and she sighed and said softly: "I'm afraid that the palace is not peaceful again." ”

Otherwise, the Queen Mother would never have summoned her back to Chang'an in such a way.

After reading it, Cui Lin frowned slightly: "Didn't the General's Mansion bring news?" ”

Gu Mingzhu shook her head: "Some time ago, the second aunt sent a letter, but it just said that the production is imminent, and everything is fine in the house." ”

What makes him strange is that if there is really an abnormality in the palace, the General's Mansion and the Cui family will not be without news, but now everything seems to be calm and there is no movement, but this letter is indeed very strange.

He was not careless, and told Xiaoyuan to invite Cui Yi to Langya Pavilion, and he wanted to ask Cui Yi about the situation in Chang'an.

“…… There has been no movement," Cui Yi's two thick eyebrows twisted together, thinking carefully, "His Royal Highness King Xian is already a prisoner of the country, and he is a director in the palace every day, Princess Xian also stayed in the palace to accompany the Queen Mother, the Northwest Turks disturbed the territory, General Gu also went to the Northwest Camp, and there was nothing else going on in Chang'an." ”

Cui Lin's face moved slightly: "What news is there from the Shanggong Bureau?" ”

Cui Yi shook his head: "Qi Shanggong rarely comes out of the palace these days, but it is just that the affairs of the inner court are handed over to Concubine Shu to take care of, and Princess Xian is dedicated to accompanying and serving the Queen Mother, but she doesn't care much about this." ”

Cui Lin's face sank, and after thinking for a while, he finally spoke: "You ask people to prepare, and we will return to Chang'an tomorrow." ”

He went back to Yusheng Courtyard and told Gu Mingzhu the news, Gu Mingzhu's hand doing needlework couldn't help but tremble, and he was almost pricked by a needle.

She put down the embroidery plate and looked at Cui Lin: "The affairs of the six palaces are taken care of by Concubine Shu?" ”

It's not Mingyu, the princess of Xian!

The saint was critically ill and did not wake up, and the Queen Mother had long since stopped letting Concubine Shu inquire about the affairs of the Six Palaces, and handed it over to Mingyu, who was the princess of Xian, to take care of it, but now it was taken care of by Concubine Shu, but Mingyu was left by the Queen Mother's side, which was clearly wrong.

Gu Mingzhu became more and more uneasy, but at this time, Gu Qing was sent to the Northwest Battalion, that is, no matter what happened in Chang'an, he would not be able to come back in time.

Ma Yuanji, the backbone of the party, had already been secretly sent to the remote places of Jiangnan and Yongzhou by King Mingsheng, and the power of the Queen Mother in the court was greatly damaged, so she could only rely on Gao Zhan to quietly send a message to Gu Mingzhu? !

She bit her lip, her face turned a little pale: "Lang Jun, I want to go back to Chang'an." ”

Cui Lin looked at her worried and calm look, his eyes were soft, and he stretched out his hand to take her into his arms: "I have already arranged it, we will go back to Chang'an together tomorrow." ”

Gu Mingzhu knew that such a move was too frivolous, and they hadn't gone to bed yet, so they shouldn't be very affectionate, but his arms were really warm and comfortable, and the pounding heartbeat in her chest also made her feel extremely close, and she was reluctant to part for a while.

After a while, she took a step back with a red face, lowered her head and said, "I'm afraid the meal is ready, let's eat first." ”

She called out to Abi and ordered the meal to be served.

Abi Huanhuan, who had been waiting outside, brought the little maid in happily, and after setting the meal, she withdrew again, and waited under the porch for instructions.

Xiao Kui was coming over with the tea cakes and snacks sent by the Jade Flute Courtyard, and when she saw her standing under the porch, she asked, "Lang Jun and the young lady are eating?" ”

Ah Bi nodded, remembering what she had heard before, her face that was originally happy for Cui Lin and Gu Mingzhu became solemn again, and she whispered to Xiao Kui: "I'm afraid I'm going to clean it up for a while, but Madam just said that I will go back to Chang'an tomorrow." ”

Xiaokui was stunned, and was overjoyed for a while: "Back to Chang'an?" Isn't it time to go see Mama Han? But I haven't been back to the county lord's mansion for a long time. ”

Ah Bi looked at her heartless appearance, sighed, and said in a low voice: "Don't make a noise first, this is the Cui Mansion, not the county lord's mansion, and the old lady and the eldest lady have to agree, I will tell you first that you have to prepare first." ”

Xiao Kui answered crisply and neatly went down to clean up.

She handed over the tea cakes and snacks to the little maids, and told them to keep them well, and after a while, Cui Lin and Gu Mingzhu finished their meal and then went in to report back, and went back to the wing room to clean up.

After eating, Cui Lin still had some secret letters and affairs to deal with, so he went back to the Jinghong Pavilion, Gu Mingzhu called Abi Xiaokui and Hongluan Ziyuan to come in: "Tomorrow, Langjun and I will go back to Chang'an, naturally the four of you can't all go with you, I'm afraid that I will leave two in Boling, which of you wants to stay?" ”

Ah Bi and Xiao Kui glanced at each other and said, "The maid is willing to stay, Lang Jun and his wife went to Chang'an, and no one can take care of the yard, so let the maid stay." ”

Xiao Kui's eyes widened, she and Ah Bi both grew up in the county lord's mansion since they were children, and they have been here in Boling for a long time, after all, they are living in a foreign country, so naturally they miss Chang'an and Miss Han and them, but now Ah Bi actually offered to stay in Boling, which really made her unexpected.

She muttered, "Well, the maid is willing to stay." ”

Over there, Hongluan also bent his knees and said, "The maid is willing to stay and help with the affairs of the yard." ”

The purple mandarin beside her paused before speaking, and lowered her head: "Listen to the young lady's orders." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at Ah Bi and Xiaokui, and then at the red luan and purple mandarin over there, the red luan worshiped there frankly, his eyes did not dodge or dodge, but the purple mandarin duck lowered his head and could not see his expression.

She smiled: "Where you want so many people to stay, just leave one or two." ”

She nodded Hongluan: "Hongluan acted safely in the past, and he is an old man in the house, and he is familiar with the personnel in the yard, so you can stay, and take care of the affairs in the yard with Liuxiang, and you can discuss anything you can do." ”

"The three of you pack up and go to Chang'an with us."

Ah Bi and Xiao Kui didn't care, but they responded with a smile, but Zi Yuan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, and they bent their knees in response.
