Chapter 226: Spring Detective

In the west of the capital, close to a section of the imperial palace, most of them are official offices, there are no civilians living in them, the road is wider than other places, and there is a row of majestic and magnificent official offices, and there is a yamen that looks a little low-key and shabby at the mouth of the alley, which is the frightening yamen of the criminal department.

Originally, the yamen of the Criminal Department was not so terrifying, but since Zhu Chunyang settled in, there has been more of a ghostly aura in his majesty.

Turning a corner along this yamen, I turned into another alley, the alley houses were simple, and a clump of green bamboo emerged from the high wall, adding a bit of interest to this piece of dust.

Two servants dressed in soap stopped in front of a small house with no plaques.

"Open the door, change shifts." The officer shouted.

The door opened from within, and two officers stepped out.

"People are honest, aren't they? There are not many mistakes, "The two parties chatted casually.

"Be careful when you speak.." Someone whispered a look inside, then reached out and pointed upward, making a look that you know and I understand.

The visitor nodded, watched them walk out, and closed the door.

Bypassing a delicate shadow wall, although it is also a narrow and cramped courtyard that is also used in the south, the layout in front of you is extraordinary.

Exquisite hanging flower door, three-story bluestone steps, good iron and wood door, carved beams and painted pillars in the east and west wings, the courtyard corridor is paved with bluestone, the green bamboo on both sides is densely swaying and swaying, but perhaps because of the long-term inhabited people, these original gorgeous buildings are covered with a layer of gray and desolate atmosphere, although the yard has been obviously cleaned, but the scattered weeds in the corner of the wall and the scattered flower branches reveal the fact that it has not been taken care of for a long time.

The two servants walked up the steps, their eyes swept through the translucent room, and they saw no human figure, and their brows could not help jumping.

Before he could speak, he heard footsteps coming from the side.

"Can I go to the backyard? There are not many mistakes," Gu Bainiang asked.

"Absolutely." The two officers turned around, squeezed out a somewhat stiff smile, and looked at the woman standing in front of them, holding a large handful of yellowed grass in her hand.

Gu Bainiang nodded, smiled, and walked past the two of them into the house.

"It's never before to be a prisoner," one of the officers chuckled under his breath.

The two turned and walked to the porter.

"What's the matter? If you want, there's another one next door, better furnished than here, and live there for the rest of your life—" The other laughed.

"Don't mind, I'd rather go back to my broken yard....." The previous officer laughed.

The conversation between the two outside the house was not shy about it, so Gu Bainiang heard it clearly, and she couldn't help but stop picking the grass blades in her hand, slightly stunned.

Yes, there is nothing more precious than freedom......

She looked at the corner of the wall, where was the one she gently drew with the pen, and before she knew it, she had been locked in for half a month, and something happened outside, she didn't know how her mother was or how her brother was......

With the passage of time, her heart can't help but feel a little panicked, her fate has changed, and the things she gambled on, who knows if they have also changed...

If it really changes, what awaits you is not as simple as being imprisoned for the rest of your life.

Some things, in fact, do not know whether they are right or wrong, the only thing that can be mastered by oneself is not regretting when you do it.

Gu Banniang nodded, a smile resurfaced on her face, and once again cast her eyes on the blade of grass in her hand, and picked it up seriously.

There was a sound of soft footsteps, and then it stopped again.

Gu Bainiang didn't care, she knew that in addition to the two servants on the bright side, there were countless people hidden in this courtyard, waiting for her "fellow party" to smell the news and come to the door.....

Her every move is under surveillance, and she is used to it, but she doesn't.

Slowly picking the blades of grass, the sunlight on the body gradually tilted.

"Alright... That's enough...."Gu Banniang sat and stretched, muttering to herself.

"What are these for?" A voice came from outside the door.

Gu Bainiang was startled, looked out of the door, and saw a young man in white standing under the bluestone steps at some time, his expression was indifferent, and the sunlight was draped on him, which made the cold and early spring courtyard scene suddenly add a little warmth.

"Your Highness.." Gu Bainiang was stunned for a moment, then got up in a panic and bowed to the ground.

"It's not that I learned a rule, how to kneel down, or panic is like falling....." King Wenjun said, stepping forward, with a faint smile in his voice, "It's not good-looking at all...."

"Your Highness forgives your sins, and the people are flustered." Gu Bainiang replied softly on the ground, listening to the sound of clothes, people passed by with a gust of wind, and stood still in front of her.

"Get up."

A sentence floated from the top of his head.

Gu Bainiang responded, stood up after thanking her, and stood with her head down.

"Sit down." King Wenjun raised his hand and said, taking the lead in sitting down on the chair.

There was a table and a chair on each side of the room.

Gu Bainiang naturally didn't have the courage to sit on the other side, and she didn't dare to say no, she clearly remembered that this prince had a strange temper, and he was fine in the plum garden of the palace that time, and he didn't say anything, so he changed his face and left.

This time, before the words are clear, you can't let him leave with a shake of his face.

Gu Bainiang thanked her, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw the wooden stool she brought in to rest the dustpan, and hurriedly walked over to take down the dustpan and sit down.

The two of them sat high and low in the room, looking a little weird.

King Wenjun smiled suddenly.

Gu Bainiang was in a mess in her heart, she was laughed at by him, and she was even more flustered, and she didn't know what to say just after organizing what she wanted to say.

"These are Aiye?" King Wenjun asked suddenly, pointing to the blade of grass that had been set aside.

"Oh, yes." Gu Bainiang replied.

"It's not the Dragon Boat Festival yet, do you want to do this?" Wenjun Wang Dao, looking very interested.

"Make mugwort leaf charcoal..."Gu Eighteen Niang said.

King Wenjun sighed, "Don't you make some moxa rolls?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

"At this time, it's not good, you have to pick it in May to make it into burning mugwort..."Gu Bainiang replied.

King Wenjun sighed, but did not speak.

There was silence in the room.

Gu Bainiang muttered the words she had thought of a few times in her heart, and gritted her teeth: "Your Highness..."

"Won't you treat me to a cup of tea?" No mistakes, no word skipping. King Wenjun spoke first.

Gu Banniang was stunned, seeing that there was no one else in the courtyard, she had obviously been dismissed, she hurriedly stood up, took the teapot, washed the teacup on the table first, poured the cup and handed it to him.

King Wenjun took it, and it seemed that he was really thirsty, so he drank it in a big gulp, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"There's no good tea here...."Gu Bainiang looked at him, said hurriedly, and felt bad after speaking, and then explained, "I don't drink tea either, so I ....."

She is a suspect, it would be good to have water to drink, and she asked for so much, which really made people feel a little bit too much.....

King Wenjun smiled, turned the teacup, and looked at the slightly dark tea.

"I didn't have a good tea before....." He seemed to be talking to himself, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he put down his teacup and stood up.

Gu Bainiang thought that he was going to ask someone to bring good tea, but she saw him walking out.

Is this going to leave again suddenly? Gu Banniang was stunned.

King Wenjun stood still in front of the bamboo bush in the corner of the wall, and stretched out his hand to tear off the thin bamboo branch.

"Has Your Highness drunk bamboo leaf tea?" Gu Bainiang followed, asked while reaching out to pull the bamboo branch.

The bamboo planted here is a doctor, slender, and the stalks are straight and tough, and she is unstable, so she is rebounded, which is quite embarrassing.

“… In the school in Xianren County, Mr. planted some plum green bamboo, you ask your brother, he should still remember... I looked very good, so I often went to pick the leaves and boiled water to drink....Mr. didn't know, but found that the bamboo leaves grew less and less, and he was very worried, so he checked the book and investigated the reason, and later invited a craftsman to ask...."King Wenjun said with a faint smile, the more he said, the stronger the smile, and smiled for the first time.

Gu Bainiang was very surprised when she heard this, and couldn't help laughing.

"Sir, I don't know you did it in the end?" She asked, reaching out to take a handful of young leaves handed by King Wenjun, and blurted out the words, not noticing that she didn't have an honorific title.

"A gentleman like me, Mr. will never doubt it...."King Wenjun once again pulled a thin bamboo, smiled, and didn't notice that he changed his title, "I have a non-gentleman who is suspected by Mr...."

Gu Bainiang's mind automatically jumped out of the three people who delivered the meal to blackmail that day, and laughed.

"Boil hot water..."King Wenjun looked at the bamboo leaves in his hand, felt that it was almost over, let go of the bamboo branch and said.

"Hey, I'm good at this, Your Highness will try my craft..."Gu Banniang shook her hand and smiled.

"Please." King Wenjun looked at her and nodded and smiled.

After receiving the order, a chamberlain bowed his head and respectfully brought in a small iron stove, and then quietly withdrew with his head down.

Gu Bainiang boiled water while cleaning the bamboo leaves, and then gently pounded them with a medicine pestle.

"If you want to make tea, there are a lot of herbs... However, it is a medicine with three points of poison, but I dare not use it easily...."Gu Banniang said, holding the brewed bamboo leaf tea to King Wenjun, "I made tea with spring flowers yesterday....."

"The taste is much stronger than what I made back then..... King Wenjun tasted it, nodded, and looked at her, "Are the spring flowers blooming?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Gu Bainiang nodded, stretched out her hand and pointed outside the courtyard, "Just in the corner, open a little ....."

King Wenjun followed her point, and saw that the messy grass and flower branches in the corner of the wall diagonally facing the door were really a little tender yellow, and if you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see that a small bush of pink and yellow, although it was small, but it was vigorous.

"Originally, I didn't open much, but I picked some ....." Gu Banniang said with a little embarrassment.

"It's very pretty," said King Wenjun, looking up at her and smiling.

I didn't think it was good to see, but it was very effective in curing wind and cold....Gu Bainiang answered in her heart, of course, she didn't dare to say it.

King Wenjun said this, and the room fell silent again.

“.. Okay? No mistakes, not a lot of words," King Wenjun asked, putting down his teacup.

"It's okay, it's okay..."Gu Banniang lowered her head to the side, and said busily, while bowing down, "Your Highness Xie...."

Finally stepping into the current reality, the atmosphere was suddenly dull, and King Wenjun did not speak again, and drank tea slowly.

Gu Banniang quietly raised her eyes and glanced at him, it seems that His Royal Highness should be in a good mood......

"Your Highness, my mother and brother ....." She gritted her teeth and knelt down again.

King Wenjun stood up the moment she knelt.

"Your Highness.." Gu Bainiang was anxious, and couldn't help kneeling and taking a few steps forward.

"The heart is selfless and the world is wide...."King Wenjun said, his footsteps stopped, "You can rest assured....."

Gu Bainiang looked up at him, her expression was complicated, and she didn't dare to say it.

King Wenjun's gaze fell condescendingly on her face, and he smiled suddenly.

"Gu Xiang.." He pursed his lips and said, "Have you ever trusted someone?" ”

Gu Bainiang was stunned, do you believe in a person? Of course she had....once she believed in everyone, and then she was pushed into the abyss by those she believed in.....

Footsteps sounded, and the figure of King Wenjun bypassed the shadow wall and disappeared.

"Congratulations to His Highness..."Gu Eighteen Niang muttered to the ground.
