With Zhu Jianshen's temperament, he will definitely not listen to Wan Zhen'er's words at this time, and with Wan Zhen'er's temperament, she will not come to this troubled water, for the sake of herself, an irrelevant person, she may have no use for Wan Zhen'er now.

The more Gu Lengyi thought about it, the more sad he became, the more he thought about it, the more depressed he became, he sat alone in front of the palace gate, not knowing what to say for a long time.

He knows that he wants to escape now, and he can't escape from this cage-like palace, no matter what, all this is his own retribution, and now it is all caused by himself, if he had been a good person earlier, and did not do these hurtful things, maybe this situation would not have occurred again.

But at the end of the day, it's useless to think about it now.

He was sitting there in a daze, and suddenly an old woman came over, the old woman looked like she was fifty or sixty years old, her face was full of wrinkles, and the whole person was sneaky, seeing Gu Lengyi, she panicked as if she wanted to hide, and seemed to rush over.

Unfortunately, Gu Lengyi caught a glimpse of her, and Gu Lengyi asked angrily, "Who are you?" Why are you sneaking around here? ”

The old woman saw that there was no way to avoid it, so she had to walk down to Gu Lengyi, Gu Lengyi was angry, and asked angrily: "What kind of person are you, this old woman, and what are you dangling in this palace?" ”

The old woman was so frightened that she trembled, like a sifting chaff, and then she sat down in front of Gu Lengyi, and said to Gu Lengyi: "Qiyu Gu Gonggong, you don't know the slave and maid, but the slave and maid know you old, the slave and the maid were originally a palace maid in the Huanyi Bureau, and the slave and maid came to find Gu Gonggong today. ”

"You came to me on purpose, what's the matter?" Gu Lengyi thought to himself, what good thing can an old woman come to find him? So he didn't go to his heart.

Who knew that the old woman was there and said slowly: "Father-in-law Gu, the slave maid came to you about my nephew Chunlai and one of his colleagues, Erbao. ”

"What? Chunlai and Erbao? When Gu Leng heard this, his eyes suddenly widened, did he know who Chunlai and Erbao were? Chunlai and Erbao are the people who were sent by themselves to bury them before.

So his eyes suddenly lit up, so he changed his tone and asked, "Chunlai and Erbao, do you know where they are now?" ”

The old woman nodded hurriedly, with a hint of cunning in her eyes, and said to Gu Lengyi: "Of course I know where they are, that dead boy from Chunlai is hiding with me now, and Erbao is afraid that he has gone to see the king of Hades now." ”

"What? What happened? Gu Leng looked around at no one, dragged the old woman to a remote place, and asked the old woman.

The old woman said slowly: "Actually, this matter is very simple, Chunlai and Erbao, the two boys, don't know what bad things they did, and hid in me, and Chunlai, this kid doesn't know because Erbao knows something, so he killed him, and actually did Erbao, this kid." They said they were acting on the orders of your father-in-law. The more the slave thought about it, the more frightened she became, thinking that although this kid is my nephew, this kid is too ruthless, right? He can click his partner Erbao casually, then maybe he will be angry for a while, and my old wife will be killed, so I will hurry up and report such a matter to your father-in-law. ”

Gu Lengyi finally understood what was going on now, it may be that Chunlai and Erbao did not complete the task, so they hid in Chunlai's aunt, and Chunlai actually killed Erbao on a whim, which also made Chunlai's aunt very scared, so she hurried to report this matter to herself.

Maybe it doesn't make sense to say this, if Chunlai and Erbao didn't complete the task, why did Chunlai kill Erbao? If they didn't complete the task, there was really no need for Chunlai to kill Erbao, because they didn't do anything unseemly.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this matter was very interesting, and he couldn't help but say to Chunlai's aunt and Yan Yue: "Don't worry, if you tell my father-in-law about this today, my father-in-law will definitely not let it go, what you did, my father-in-law has written it down, and if that kid dares to move a finger from Chunlai, my father-in-law will definitely not let him go." It's just one thing, where are the two dead boys of Chunlai and Erbao now? You have to take my father-in-law to him, my father-in-law has something important to do with them. ”

Chunlai's aunt is also a smart person, she didn't know what Gu Lengyi told Chunlai and Erbao to do, but she deliberately pretended not to know, it was nothing more than not wanting to arouse Gu Lengyi's suspicion.

She knew that there was to be a camp in this harem, and no one in this harem could believe it, including Gu Lengyi, of course, she couldn't believe it, so she deliberately said that she didn't know.

Because she knew that if she said that she knew Gu Lengyi's secret, then Gu Lengyi would definitely not let her go.

So when she heard Gu Lengyi say this, she immediately saluted Gu Lengyi and said, "Okay, I'll take Gu Gonggong to find Chunlai now, as for whether Erbao can be found, the slave doesn't know, maybe Erbao has been killed by Chunlai."

Gu Leng nodded, his heart was ecstatic, he thought, this is really the road to the sky.

After Chunlai's aunt found Gu Lengyi, she told Gu Lengyi that Chunlai had hidden her and killed Erbao.

Gu Lengyi thought to himself: God really help me, when I was desperate, I didn't expect a god-given savior, this old lady is really his ancient Lengyi savior, it just so happens that this old lady knows where spring is now, it's really my life.

Gu Lengyi thought to herself, so she pulled Chunlai's aunt and said to her, "Where is Chunlai hiding now?" You take me to him at once, and if you find Chunlai, you will be rewarded. ”

Chunlai's aunt couldn't help but show a hesitant look on her face, although she said that she was very scared when she saw Chunlai kill Erbao before, so she came to report the news, but when she saw the hideous look on Gu Lengyi's face, she still felt a little panicked.

After all, Chunlai is still her nephew, and she doesn't want to watch Chunlai in the harem like this, so she thought about it for a long time, and then she knelt down and said to Gu Lengyi: "Father-in-law Gu, you go to find Chunlai, I have one more thing I hope you can promise me." ”

"Oh, what is it, just tell me about it, as long as my father-in-law can do it, my father-in-law will definitely agree to you." Gu Gonggong said.

The reason why Gu Lengyi is so obedient to Chunlai's aunt now is because he feels that he has an aunt who wants Chunlai, if Chunlai's aunt is willing to take him to find Chunlai, then it must be a good thing for him, as long as he can know whether Chunlai and Erbao are ambushed in Nannei, he will have a way to explain to the emperor.

So now he doesn't say that his aunt from Chunlai makes a request, that is, if he makes a hundred, a thousand, or ten thousand requests, he will immediately agree to it.

Chunlai's aunt cautiously said to Gu Lengyi: "Father-in-law Gu, the slave and maid hope that you can let Chunlai go, I don't know what bad things Chunlai has done, but he is always the son and nephew of the slave and maid, and the slave and maid have already been sorry for him if he confesses him. ”

When Gu Leng heard her say this, his heart was awe-inspiring, and he immediately said to Chunlai's aunt: "Okay, no matter what you ask, my father-in-law will agree to you." As long as you take your father-in-law to find Chunlai now, then everything is easy to say, let's go find Chunlai now, don't delay any longer. ”

Chunlai's aunt saw that Gu Lengyi agreed so happily, and thought that Gu Lengyi really approved her request, so she immediately hurried to the Huanyi Bureau with Gu Lengyi.

The two of them walked to the outside of the Huanyi Bureau and saw a large number of palace maids and eunuchs standing there, it turned out that there were many low-level eunuchs, palace maids, and miscellaneous servants living in this Huanyi Bureau.

When they saw that Gu Lengyi, the chief manager of the palace, had come to the Huanyi Bureau in person, everyone felt that their eyes were shining, because they knew that if they curry favor with Gu Lengyi, it would definitely be a great thing for them, so everyone drove forward, but they didn't dare to step forward.

Gu Lengyi can still take care of them now, and his own life is difficult to protect, so he followed Chunlai's aunt to her room, and after arriving in the room, Chunlai's aunt shouted twice: "Chunlai, Chunlai." ”

She had hidden Chunlai in the dark room at the back, and there was a house behind it that they used to stack up sundries, and Chunlai was in it, and Erbao's corpse was also in it.

When Na Chunlai heard his aunt shouting at him, he came out from behind and rebuked his aunt, saying, "Didn't I tell you not to shout so loudly? Are you shouting so loudly to let everyone know that I'm hiding here? ”

After he walked out, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Gu Lengyi, and suddenly he was frightened, he pointed at his aunt and scolded her angrily: "How can you betray me, don't forget, your family is only one of my sons and nephews, if I die, who will give you a pension." ”

Na Chunlai's aunt heard Chunlai's accusation, and she felt a little sad, she lowered her head and said slowly: "I don't want to do this either, but I saw you kill Erbao before, if this matter is really important, maybe you won't even let go of your aunt and me, the reason why I did this is that there is no way, I hope you don't blame me." ”

Na Chunlai knew in his heart that now things had become like this, and he was going to get along with his aunt now, so it was useless, but there were only two ways to do it now.

The first one is to quickly admit his mistake to Gu Lengyi, but with Gu Lengyi's character, he must be jealous of himself to the extreme now, not to mention that he killed Erbao again, with Gu Lengyi's personality, how could he let himself go? Gu Leng was the most ruthless in this court.

And the other way is to attack it unprepared, and take it by surprise. attacked him unprepared, and killed him at once when Gu Lengyi didn't care.

Although killing Gu Lengyi will definitely cause an uproar, and it will definitely attract a lot of people to search at that time, but at least after killing Gu Lengyi, he can take advantage of this time to escape, and he can escape as far as he can, even if he can't escape from this palace, then he can hide somewhere else for two more days, after all, the palace will not search every place in order to die a big manager.

Thinking of this, he felt that the second method was feasible, after all, with Gu Lengyi's character, he was so ruthless, how could he let himself go easily.

So after making up his mind, Chunlai pretended to be cautious and walked forward, he pretended to be very scared, walked in front of Gu Lengyi, and immediately knelt down, "plop".

kneeling on the ground and making a "plop" sound, after he knelt down, he begged Gu Lengyi for mercy: "Father-in-law Gu, it's a small mistake, it's a slave's mistake, a slave shouldn't do this, and please Father-in-law Gu, you have a lot of adults, you can let go of the small ones, don't follow the small general knowledge." ”

As he spoke, he kept kowtowing there, Gu Lengyi saw him like that, and he also felt very angry in his heart, after all, Chunlai and Erbao were hidden, so that he was reprimanded by the emperor, and the emperor also told him that if he couldn't investigate the matter clearly, he would definitely have to pick his head, he saw Chunlai kowtowing on the ground, and his heart was a little relieved.

Who knew that at this time, Chunlai suddenly took out a dagger from his arms and stabbed it at Gu Lengyi, the dagger was used by Chunlai when he stabbed Erbao to death just now, and the blood stains on the dagger had not been wiped dry, and had turned black.

When his dagger was about to stab Gu Lengyi in the chest, at this time, Chunlai's aunt was quick-eyed, and when she saw this, she hurriedly bumped into Gu Lengyi and knocked Gu Lengyi to the ground.

Gu Lengyi's body fell heavily to the ground, and because Chunlai's aunt hit it in time, Chunlai's dagger only stabbed Gu Lengyi's arm, but did not hurt his entire person.

Chunlai calculated everything, but he never dreamed that in the end, it was his aunt who saved Gu Lengyi. He was angry and hateful in his heart, but there was nothing he could do.

And he knew that the first thing he had to do now was to run quickly, if he couldn't run away, then he would definitely not have his own good fruit to eat, because he had no time to stab Gu Leng for the second time.

Gu Lengyi's eyes were quick, and when he landed, he had already shouted "coming", and after he shouted "coming", a large number of little eunuchs and palace maids Wuwu immediately ran in and surrounded a room.

After all, it was the first time that a big man like Gu Lengyi came to the Huanyi Bureau, and after he came, everyone wanted to please him, and when he heard him shouting "come here" in the house, of course, everyone ran into the house, so after everyone ran in, Na Chunlai was immediately scared silly.

He knew that it was impossible for him to escape, and there was absolutely no way to deal with so many people with his own strength, so he didn't know what to do for a while, just holding a dagger and being stupid there.

Gu Lengyi immediately ordered everyone: "You hurry up and bring the rope over and tie Chunlai to the chair, my father-in-law has something to ask him." ”

"Yes." At that moment, a little eunuch agreed, so he hurriedly went to get the rope, and a palace maid stepped forward to help Gu Lengyi up.

After Gu Lengyi was helped up, he sat on the chair, looked at Chunlai with his eyes, and said to him hatefully: "Chunlai, you kid, I didn't expect to do such a big rebellious thing, my father-in-law has always been kind to you, you actually killed my father-in-law, do you know that assassinating my father-in-law is a capital crime." ”

Chunlai was not so scared at this moment, he looked at Gu Lengyi, smiled coldly and said: "If I had used a little more force just now, or if my aunt hadn't hit you, you would have been stabbed to death by me." Gu Lengyi, do you think I'm a fool? Do you think I don't know what's going to happen next? In the past, you deliberately let Erbao and I go to Nannei to ambush, what you are thinking about is nothing more than trying to frame King Jing Zhu Jianchen, but now your plan is for the two of us to implement, let the two of us do it. But with your ancient cold temper, you will definitely not let us live in this world so easily, rather than waiting for us to be killed by you, it is better to fight for a glimmer of life by ourselves, anyway, horizontal is death, vertical is also death, in this case, which method is more important? ”

As he spoke, he looked at Gu Lengyi, obviously having heard a little about what Gu Lengyi had done.

Gu Leng thought about him like this, and he couldn't help but think a lot in his heart, he knew that if he didn't explain the matter to Chunlai immediately now, then Chunlai would definitely not be so easy to tell himself what happened in Nannei that day.

But there are many things in the court that are taboo and cannot be talked about. If he goes around and says it, I'm afraid that his Gu Leng's life will not be able to be saved at that time.

So he thought about it for a long time before he appeased Chun and said: "Before, my father-in-law sent you to do that thing, I really didn't expect that that thing would have such a big impact, let alone that you would think so, you would think that my father-in-law had a murderous intention to kill you, in fact, how could my father-in-law be willing to give it, you are all father-in-law's henchmen, and when you are there, my father-in-law has nothing to be afraid of, why should I let you die?" ”

Gu Lengyi and Chun said good things for a long time, trying to dispel his concerns.

Chunlai has now been caught by Gu Lengyi, he can't think of any other way except to obey Gu Lengyi, he thinks about it, there are only two ways.

The first is to commit suicide immediately, and the second is to cooperate with Gu Lengyi. If he commits suicide now, then there will be nothing, but if he cooperates with Gu Lengyi now, maybe there will be a glimmer of life.

Thinking of this, he glanced at Gu Leng with a very ugly face and said, "Okay, Gu Gonggong, since I fell into your hands, there is nothing to say, if you have anything to know, just come and ask me." ”

Gu Leng smiled and said, "Yes, I do have something I want to ask you, how did you do what your father-in-law told you to do before?" ”

When Chunlai's aunt heard him ask, she thought: Let's go out now, I have survived in this harem for a long time, and she knows a truth, that is, the more things you know, then the shorter your life must be.

Chunlai's aunt was about to go out, but she was stopped by Gu Lengyi.

Gu Leng said: "This grandma, you don't have to go out, my father-in-law already treats you as his own." ”

Gu Lengyi's words calmed Chunlai's aunt's heart, and she was half-convinced, but there was some joy in her fear. After all, being able to catch up with the big man of Gu Lengyi is undoubtedly a good thing for her future development in the palace, so she stopped there.
