Chapter 15: Suspicion
Xu has rarely sat on a boat for such a long time, although the wind and waves in the inland river are calm, and the boat is very stable, Jiang Ting still feels a little uncomfortable.
During the day, because I wanted to see people, I just held on, and now I washed up and rested on the bed, and my face became a little pale, and the maid Leshui wanted to boil medicine, but she stopped her, "It's okay, I'll go outside for a walk." ”
"Then what's the matter, it's cold at night, your body is weak, isn't it more uncomfortable to turn around and catch the wind?"
When Jiang Wei heard this, her face suddenly changed, and she said a little angrily: "It's enough to wear more clothes, and I have my own body." ”
Although she is weak, she has always had a strong personality, and Leshui knows her girl's temperament the most, so she didn't dare to persuade her anymore, and wanted to quietly follow behind to serve, but Jiang Yi saw it and sent her back.
Walking out of the room, Jiang Wan leaned on the railing and inevitably felt a little self-pitying, looking up at the bright stars in the sky, but saw a faint candle flame on the top floor.
She was vaguely nervous, lifted her skirt and went up, but saw that there was only one person inside, the dark silver embroidered moire brocade dress on her body was half open, revealing her thin and powerful chest, and a jade pendant engraved with a dancing claw dragon was hanging on her waist, and the jade body reflected in the candle flame flickered brightly and darkly, only the dragon shape was still lifelike, the dragon head was high-spirited, and the feet were on the mountain, like a skyrocket.
Gu Chen held the gold lacquer beast face cup in his hand, and the smooth and shiny wall of the cup reflected the cautious figure of the woman outside the door, he drank it all with his neck up, and said in a deep voice: "Come in." ”
The man's undisguised domineering voice was revealed.
Jiang Wan's heart jumped, she clutched the handkerchief in her hand, moved lightly in lotus steps, and bowed her knees, "The prince forgives the sin, the little girl has no intention of disturbing the prince Yaxing." ”
The woman's voice is delicate, she wears a Luo skirt with crescent moon and green yarn, and her thin shoulders are draped with a cloud silk cloak, and the green silk is scattered behind her, which looks more and more beautiful in the dark moonlight, and it is unbearable to tease.
Gu Chen laughed, and there seemed to be a deep flame in his inky eyes, which was clearly extinguished, "Come here." ”
Jiang Ting stepped forward as she said, as soon as he stretched out his long arm, his big palm fell on her chin, and his thumb rubbed it twice, shocking Jiang Tinghua's face was pale, and he was about to struggle, but he suddenly let go of his hand.
The man staggered and fell to the ground.
"Lord Wang......" Her voice was delicate, with tears in her eyes, and she seemed to have thousands of grievances to complain about.
With rain pear flowers, thousands of delicate and soft.
Gu Chen stood up and walked up to her, the man's tall body cast a dark shadow, completely enveloping her.
Looking up, his face was a little cold, and the throbbing in people's hearts gradually sank and turned into a cold chill.
The three princes should be extremely handsome.
Jiang Beibei bit her lower lip lightly, and the hand holding the handkerchief rubbed it on the ground, faintly painful, "Why is the prince like this?" The little girl can't sleep at night and walks around at will, and she doesn't know that the prince is here, I ......"
As he spoke, a line of tears fell down his delicate face like a begonia flower, I don't know whether it was shame or grief, his face was already pink, "If the prince is to blame, he will say it directly, why do you tease people so much." ”
Gu Chen was condescending, playing with the grievances in her words, and laughed softly for a moment, "This king is still thinking, how can you enjoy such a beautiful scenery, you came at the right time, why don't you sit with this king." ”
He stretched out his hand and with a little force he took the woman's slender body into his arms.
Fiery and hard.
Jiang Fei's heart was "pounding", his cheeks were red, he only felt that his whole body was full of the smell of suffocating men, his hands and feet were weak, and he had no strength to struggle.
So much so that he had let go, and she was still fluttering like a cloud, as if she could not step on the ground.
It wasn't until the voice of the servant girl sounded outside the door that she found her hands and feet, "Thank you, thank you, thank you." ”
The maid came in with a drink, and looked at the master sitting on the chair with a big lama, and then at Jiang Fei, whose whole person was almost turned into a puddle of soft water, without the slightest sluggishness in her hand movements, she steadily poured wine into the cup, and asked: "Miss Jiang, the wind and cold are easy to enter the body at night, do you want to eat a glass of wine to drive away the cold?" ”
Jiang Fei raised his eyes and looked at Gu Chen, and said with a soft smile: "No need, it's late at night, it's not good to continue to disturb the prince's interest, the little girl said goodbye." The prince is tired from a busy day, so he should rest early. ”
He bowed, turned and walked out.
"It's interesting." The maidservant looked at the only wine glass in the room that was being taken by Gu Chen, and said dissatisfiedly, "Now that the emperor and queen are looking around to show you the concubine, Your Highness should also be more restrained, is it still that those noble girls in Changfeng are not troublesome enough?" ”
Gu Chen paused for a moment to drink, glanced at her, and said, "You are in charge of this king, what's the matter, just say it!" ”
"King Qing's excerpt of inviting troops to suppress bandits is already on the way, do you want to ......?"
"Have all the people withdrawn?"
"Yan Huai was already working on the arrangements a few days ago. In addition, Tan Kui's traces were also found, but in addition to us, there were people following him, no, or ......" or rather, it was the person who waited at Tan Kui's place in advance.
"Did you find out?"
The maid hesitated for a moment, "I've found out, is it...... The people of the Lord of Duanning. ”
Really.
I'm afraid that when she washes the 300,000 taels, she should report to the court.
As for who to report......
Gu Chen touched her chin, she kept saying that she wanted to give a reward, and she only received it in advance.
He said slowly: "Let's arrange the affairs over there in King Qing's Mansion." As for Tan Kui, don't move for the time being, this king wants to see which royal brother is restless. ”
"Yes. There is news from the East Palace, the emperor is seriously ill again, and Lord Tang is preparing to implement the feudal order as soon as possible, but the prince thinks that the time has not yet come, and he acts rashly, I am afraid that the government and the opposition will be turbulent and uneasy......"
"Got it." Gu Chen frowned, thinking of his imperial brother's gentle temperament, which was completely inferior to their father's killing power, I am afraid that he had already tried to persuade him, but he knew that the effect was not great, "I will deal with this matter." You haven't seen your brother in years, have you? In a little time you will be able to see each other. ”
The maidservant was overjoyed, answered the "yes" and withdrew, leaving him alone to look at the dark night outside, but for some reason he thought of the woman's quiet and quiet appearance.
Hmph, the smile in front of people is like a flower, innocent and kind, but it's just pretending!
For 300,000 taels of silver, she was willing to sacrifice her blood and risked her life, she was very bold.
He was very curious about what a boudoir woman was going to do if she privately swallowed the bribes her father gave her up and down.
As for Jiang Fei, the slightest ripple did not leave a trace in Gu Chen's heart.
————————
"County Lord." Wen Xi crossed the sleeping sandalwood outside, entered the inner room and replied, "My cousin has gone to see King Xiang." ”
Fang Xuan let out a faint "um", and she continued: "The maid beside King Xiang has been guarding outside, and his subordinates don't dare to listen rashly, but the cousin girl came out soon, and there is nothing wrong. ”
"Wen Xi, why did you two sisters stay with me?"
Wen Xi was stunned, "Naturally, it is the guardian of the county lord who is thoughtful." ”
"Then don't you have anything else to say?"
Her eyes were clear, and there was no displeasure, Wen Xi weighed for a moment, and finally asked the doubts in her heart, "My subordinates don't understand, why the county lord wants to risk his life, and why he deliberately shows flaws to attract suspicion." ”
"And why did you hide the 300,000 taels from you?"
"The subordinates don't dare."
Fang Xuan looked at the woman in front of him with a half-bowed face, and those staggered images flashed in front of him, the cold cell, and the blood-colored wine...... I couldn't help but close my eyes, and when I opened them again, it was already clear.
"Naturally, it's to make people suspicious!" She muttered.
