Chapter 13: Curious about her past
Jiang Jiuyuan felt that he might have recruited a fake maid ring.
Not only is he disobedient, but he also has a mystery.
keeps saying that she wants to gain a foothold here, but her daily behavior is not like what someone who should be on a foothold should do, but if she wastes time and has nothing to do, it is also false.
He just had never seen someone like Gu Zijiu, and he was curious and strange.
Listening to the housekeeper Ah Fu, Gu Zijiu did behave very ordinarily at first, and it was also like he needed this job because of his livelihood, but then he didn't know why, and suddenly his true nature was exposed.
Jiang Jiuyuan felt that Gu Zijiu might have wanted to pretend to be ordinary from the beginning, but then he gave up for some reason.
He thought that Gu Zijiu must have happened something in the middle of this that was enough to make her change her original plan, and thought that Gu Zijiu was hiding something else.
In fact, as long as you ask in person, you will know that Gu Zijiu has always been a person who thinks of a play at will.
In order to enter the mansion, she naturally wants to be coquettish, and after entering the mansion and confessing her purpose early, Gu Zijiu will be more comfortable.
It's just that Jiang Jiuyuan doesn't understand, and everyone doesn't understand.
The freedom was her own, and the grotesque behavior was her own, and they had only suddenly attracted a stranger, who was not yet ready to receive them.
Maybe even Gu Zijiu didn't think that a person like Jiang Jiuyuan was not used to believing in a person, he had been in charge of the Twelve Divisions for many years, and he had long been accustomed to speculating on the evil of people's hearts, if Gu Zijiu behaved more ordinarily, if his identity seemed more ordinary, the more Jiang Jiuyuan would be suspicious.
On the contrary, Gu Zijiu's heartless face, the innocence of writing all his thoughts on his face, and the ease of saying his purpose without scruples made Jiang Jiuyuan choose to believe it at a certain moment.
Gu Zijiu was still consuming with him because of Jiang Chen's "contrived", and his face was full of vivid expressions that I would be with you if you don't replace the word, Jiang Jiuyuan pinched his eyebrows with a smile.
I don't understand how Jiang Chen, such a quiet person, could be so lively after meeting Gu Zijiu.
He once again separated the two who were about to fight, and said speechlessly: "Can they both be obedient?" Especially you, Gu Zijiu, Jiang Chen is the eighth prince of the dynasty, and you are just a little girl, do you understand? ”
"I don't really understand, have you ever seen such a dragged ring?"
Jiang Jiuyuan looked at her speechlessly.
"I just want to be friends with him, why would you want to kill a koi's wishes?"
Jiang Jiuyuan really didn't have a problem with her nonsense skills, put a palm on her head, and said with a slight smile: "Then little fat fish, be a mascot quietly and don't talk, okay?" ”
Gu Zijiu waved his fist and said angrily: "Who is fat to scold!" ”
Jiang Chen added on the side: "Eating so much every day is not what a little fat fish is." ”
Gu Zijiu glared at Jiang Chen.
Jiang Jiuyuan had been away from the imperial city for some time, and the two Twelve Yama Kings who had been with him rushed over and said something in his ear very anxiously, Jiang Jiuyuan's face that was still smiling because of Gu Zijiu immediately sank.
When Jiang Chen saw Jiang Jiuyuan showing such a serious expression, he immediately stopped bothering Gu Zijiu, and hurriedly frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Mysterious markers have been found near the palace."
Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "Did Chai Yi do it?" ”
Jiang Jiuyuan shook his head and said, "It's not like what he did, Chai Yi is notorious, and evil is evil without warning in advance, so the biggest possibility now is that in addition to Chai Yi, there are also people who are eyeing the imperial city." ”
"It's also possible that Chai Yi is an accomplice." Gu Zijiu looked at Jiang Jiuyuan's ugly face and said.
Jiang Chen frowned and looked at Gu Zijiu thoughtfully.
Not long after Chai Yicai came to the capital, Gu Zijiu appeared, and from the perspective of time, she was the most suspicious one......
Gu Zijiu rolled his eyes: "Can you do things with some brains?" You've been staying there, do I have a doppelganger? Can you eat and do bad things at the same time? ”
Jiang Jiuyuan also distanced Jiang Chen from Gu Zijiu and said, "Indeed, this little fat fish is not so strong and capable of moving freely under the control of my Twelfth Division. ”
For his sake, Gu Zijiu decided to temporarily forgive him for the nickname he gave him.
"Take me along, maybe I'll be able to see something."
Gu Zijiu rubbed to Jiang Jiuyuan's side as he spoke, tilting his head and pleading.
Jiang Jiuyuan glanced down at her slightly, stretched out a finger and pointed at her forehead and poked it back: "The beauty you think, go back to the mansion for this king!" ”
"......I don't, I can't hear!"
Jiang Jiuyuan: "......"
Later, Gu Zijiu still followed Jiang Jiuyuan to the vicinity of the palace, and Jiang Jiuyuan didn't really want to remember it for the specific reason.
He's not a very reasonable person, let alone carrying a drag oil bottle at such a critical time.
But he did bring it.
I don't know if it's because Gu Zijiu has always made him feel interesting by his side, or if he really thinks that Gu Zijiu can give them new ideas.
In short, Gu Zijiu finally infiltrated the palace as a royal maid.
Speaking of the palace, Gu Zijiu may also be a frequent visitor.
In modern times, whether it is the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Palace of Versailles in France, or the Buckingham Palace in the United Kingdom, Gu Zijiu has been there, both for private and official affairs.
It's just that the mentality is different now.
People can't find a familiar appearance between people, and there is no scene that she is used to, and the people here can kill her with a word, and she has nowhere to appeal.
Gu Zijiu followed behind Jiang Jiuyuan, and really felt the oppression of people under the imperial power.
She moved her neck, and with all her strength she told herself that this was no longer the era she was familiar with.
We must not desperately try to subvert because we are unhappy.
She pouted.
"Lord Wang, this is the place."
They were led to a remote place, and when they opened the grass, they could see a few symbols painted on the palace wall that they didn't know what they meant, and the vermilion color was not very clear on the dark palace wall, not to mention that it was carefully hidden in the grass.
"Lord, you hold me."
Gu Zijiu grabbed Jiang Jiuyuan's sleeve and bent down to carefully identify it.
"It's a quaint symbol." Gu Zijiu obviously didn't realize how shocking her behavior was, and only after she carefully looked at this symbol several times did she straighten up, and when she saw the shocked appearance of the two Hades who accompanied her, she touched her face in puzzlement, "I have flowers on my face?" ”
Jiang Chen took advantage of Gu Zijiu to get up, and also glanced at the symbol, and said, "They are thinking about which strange person you are, and you actually dare to call the Jin Prince." ”
Gu Zijiu scratched his face, glanced at Jiang Jiuyuan, and said, "The prince himself didn't react, all of you were excited." ”
Jiang Jiuyuan glanced at the little claws that were grabbing his sleeves, pinched his eyebrows, and said, "Did you find anything?" ”
"I didn't find anything special." Gu Zijiu thought about the appearance of the symbol, "But I've seen similar ones, like passwords, only they can understand them, basically to point out the direction." ”
"In what direction?"
"Where is the thing to be stolen?" Gu Zijiu didn't realize that her hand was still on Jiang Jiuyuan's arm, that was her usual habit, and she was used to grabbing something in her hand when thinking about things.
"It's usually something that thieves do, but most of the marks are drawn in obvious places, unlike this one...... Take cover. ”
Jiang Jiuyuan heard the uncertainty in Gu Zijiu's tone, he thought about it for a while, and did not shake off Gu Zijiu's hand, and directly took her to squat down again.
There were a lot of weeds in the grass, and they grew wildly high and low, Gu Zijiu tore away the weeds that always poked his wrists, squatted next to Jiang Jiuyuan, looked at the symbols, and then looked at Jiang Jiuyuan's serious and contemplative side face.
This person doesn't look very old, why is he always frowning.
Gu Zijiu leaned over and put his arm on Jiang Jiuyuan's shoulder, and whispered, "So I think this may be a trick to cover up the true purpose." ”
Jiang Jiuyuan turned his head and glanced at her when he heard this.
It's just that the distance is too close, and the tips of the noses of the two can almost touch, and their breaths are intertwined with each other. Gu Zijiu didn't expect Jiang Jiuyuan to turn back, and couldn't help but be stunned.
The long eyelashes blinked, and his eyes were full of Jiang Jiuyuan's appearance.
Jiang Jiuyuan narrowed his eyes, surprised that he couldn't wake up from the fragrance on Gu Zijiu's body.
I have to admit that Gu Zijiu's appearance is indeed very good-looking, Jiang Jiuyuan from her delicate eyebrows to her autumn-like eyes...... A pair of lips were red, and when they were closed, Jiang Jiuyuan had a throbbing.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and suddenly covered Gu Zijiu's mouth with his hand.
He turned his head, but his ears were quietly red.
Gu Zijiu rolled his eyes, he didn't know what Jiang Jiuyuan was suddenly awkward, and it took a lot of effort to remove his hand from his mouth.
She took a few breaths of fresh air, and then she was speechless: "This symbol is hidden, whoever is full of food will draw it here, so someone must have deliberately drawn it here and confused your direction." ”
"If it's sneaky, you should keep the symbols secret." Jiang Jiuyuan coughed lightly, and didn't dare to turn back any further, but just stretched out his hand to caress the symbol.
"To whom?"
Jiang Jiuyuan stroked the symbol's hand slightly.
Gu Zijiu glanced at him, shook his head, supported his shoulders and prepared to stand up, but what she didn't expect was that because she had been squatting for too long, Gu Zijiu suddenly felt all the blood rush into her head, making her eyes dark for a moment.
Then she heard a gasp around her.
Draw out...... Smoke an egg.
She subconsciously wanted to scold the past, but the whole person was hugged by a pair of warm big hands.
Jiang Jiuyuan was still looking at the source of the symbol, but he saw Gu Zijiu falling straight back, and he was shocked to immediately stand up and hold Gu Zijiu.
The reaction is too fast...... I didn't notice what position I was using.
The redness of the ears had not disappeared, and it was once again covered with a new layer, and the whole heart was also beating because of Gu Zijiu's sudden collision.
He stroked Gu Zijiu's hair, glanced at the petrified Jiang Chen and the others, and then realized what he had done.
He...... Did he hug Gu Zijiu just now?
Jiang Jiuyuan's eyebrows jumped, and he immediately let go of Gu Zijiu.
Gu Zijiu was suddenly hugged tightly, and was suddenly pushed away, staggering several steps in succession, looking at him speechlessly.
Jiang Jiuyuan not only felt a little out of shape, but also felt very strange, he was not a person who couldn't control his mind so much.
Looking at Gu Zijiu, although he was speechless and staring, he was also very smart.
His heart seemed to be beating harder.
There is a word called warm fragrant nephrite, and he still seems to retain the feeling when Gu Zijiu hit him...... Jiang Jiuyuan, who understood the true meaning of the word for the first time, was a little embarrassed.
He coughed, trying to turn the subject in a normal direction: "Since this symbol is a deliberate attempt to mislead us, can you guess the real purpose of that person?" ”
Gu Zijiu seemed to want to speak, but immediately she realized that something was wrong, and she didn't care if Jiang Jiuyuan was uncomfortable or not, she pulled his sleeve and whispered close to his ear: "I think there is a mole in the palace." ”
Gu Zijiu was too close, Jiang Jiuyuan could almost feel the scorching heat spraying near his ears, he had never known that his ears were so sensitive, just getting close to it already made him a little uneasy.
Jiang Jiuyuan felt that if he continued like this, he would inevitably do something to ease the restlessness in his heart, so he immediately pulled Gu Zijiu away, looked at Jiang Chen and the two Hades who came with him, and frowned.
He knew that Gu Zijiu was suddenly so mysterious because he was worried that the wall had ears, so he didn't say much, just dragged her to the distance, and then asked, "How can you see it?" ”
"At first I thought there was a thief coming, but the symbol of the thief is usually very obvious, and the clever thief likes to see the fear and nervousness on people's faces, so that they can get excitement when stealing something, but the symbol hidden here obviously does not express this meaning."
Jiang Jiuyuan frowned.
"Maybe it's just Chai Yi's ecstasy array from beginning to end, which makes you think that there is more than one danger, and when you think you see through the trick and arrange the troops, I'm afraid it's Chai Yi's intentions."
Jiang Jiuyuan looked at Jiang Chen in the distance, he didn't understand the deep meaning, he had already squatted down and began to study it very carefully after he left the palace wall.
The two Hades of the Twelve Divisions also brought in the guards who had discovered this symbol and interrogated them carefully.
If Gu Zijiu hadn't said this, even he would have felt that there was another hidden danger in the palace.
Jiang Jiuyuan pinched his eyebrows and said, "Are you sure?" ”
Gu Zijiu glanced at the guard who answered the question tremblingly, hooked the corners of his lips, and said with a smile: "I suggest you check the identity of this guard, maybe you can find some surprises." ”
