The study was half dark, the sky outside the window was gloomy, the candle flame in the room flickered for a while, as if suddenly startled by someone, the sudden bright light suddenly reflected the phantom shadow on the wall, and in the phantom shadow, the man's shadow gradually dragged to the ground until it disappeared.

"Lord Yuan, the third prince left Yuanqing Villa after dusk today, and did not go back to the palace directly, but went to the Gu family."

Dude said...... The people of Huafu found him, and Childe decided to go back to Huafu. ”

Childe also said...... If the lord of the abyss does marry in two days, he will definitely return. ”

The figure next to the window seemed to have turned around, but the ray of moonlight that suddenly shone in from the outside, like a little light in a dark color, Fu Mingyuan's cold eyes, half of his face was in the moonlight...... Three points cold and seven points soft, the eyes that looked at the person who reported it, other emotions arose in the indifference, faint, as if it was a red lotus in a pond at night, leaving the world independent.

The black shadow in the room seemed to be waiting for the order of the person in front of him, but the eyes that did not look at his master fell on the side of the window, and the look of the black shadow man was naturally invisible.

The slightly curved back leaned against the window at some point, Fu Mingyuan may not have realized what his subconscious movements represented......

"Jing Huan is the young master of Huafu?" Fu Mingyuan turned his head to look at the person with his head down, and the dark light in his eyes was dyed. Jing Huan's life experience, in fact, the two of them are very clear, although the Hua Mansion is not a big celebrity, but its status in the capital is also among the twelve merchants, the Hua family...... Generations have been in peace and keeping to themselves, so the Gu family's marriage, the current emperor probably has no opinion.

It's just that they got married on the same day...... What a coincidence.

The ghostly light in Fu Mingyuan's eyes was like a mountain that suddenly lifted the clouds, faint and indifferent. He suddenly remembered that when he was young, although the Fu family and the Chen family were world friends, the Chen family and the Gu family were ...... It's also very relevant.

"This ...... The subordinates don't know. The appearance of the black shadow on the ground paused, Fu Mingyuan didn't ask, the truth of the matter, those who know know it very clearly.

Jing Huan is the illegitimate son of Huafu, and he and his mother rushed to the Hua family in the capital to join their relatives, but they met the gang of bandits, and two years ago the eldest son of the Hua family died violently, and now the second lady is married, probably to find a person who can convince the public for Huafu.

According to Jing Huan's temperament, he probably won't pay attention to this matter, but for now, ...... If he really got married two days later, it shouldn't be him who Jing Huan came for.

"Continue with the plan, and report the information to the wooden guards after that." The person who walked to the desk took out another piece of paper pressed under the letter, it looked like it had gone through a certain age, the pages of the paper were a little yellowed, and the name of the person who signed the letter was no longer clear, and when Fu Mingyuan's gaze stayed on it, he was already distracted for a moment.

"Yes, the subordinates retired." The black shadow left no trace on the ground in an instant, and there was only one person in the room, and it was difficult for a lonely shadow to sing.

Family...... It seems that the emperor is planning to start with the Gu family.

Mingyue Restaurant

Gu Lianqi looked at the person opposite, put away the action of playing with the wine glass in his hand, and the light in his eyes gradually dimmed, his cousin ...... It's really calm. Two days later, it was the day of his wedding with the second lady of Huafu, but his cousin really let go of everything, planning to listen to the old man's words and continue the incense after getting married.

Gu Qiyan's expression was a little dull, but he was not dissatisfied, there were small banquets in the mansion these days, and now when he returned to the mansion at this hour, he must have been arrested by the old man to accompany the guests to talk, and the content of the conversation was nothing more than ...... If a hundred years later, there are no elders in the Gu family, and I hope that these people can take care of their juniors in the face of the old man, the words of the head of the family seem to have made a lot of determination to explain the future.

After thinking about this matter, the dull atmosphere in front of him seemed to be much colder, Gu Lianqi probably couldn't understand that it was just a person who had left the capital for half a year, and there had been such a change, and the face of the person in front of him was now full of tiredness, and the original ambition between his eyebrows seemed to have disappeared a lot, and he naturally knew about the assassination in Tiancheng County, but after he came back, the old man didn't ask too much about it, and he guessed that Qiyan was not scruples because of this.

"The old man has been caught drinking you these days?" The smell of alcohol in the room has faded a lot, and Gu Lianqi's face seems to have traces left after drinking too much, and the flush on his cheeks does not fade, but there is no drunkenness when he speaks.

Gu Qiyan glanced at the person in front of him seriously, and the thoughts that could be seen in his eyes seemed to have diluted a lot, but there was a ...... between his eyebrows The mind is no longer clear.

"I know so clearly, I don't see you go home." Gu Qiyan's tone did not have half a point of blame, but the look on the face of the person sitting opposite was a little serious, Gu Lianqi smiled, and motioned to the person in front of him to look at the wine glass in his hand, a full glass of wine, and then it was drunk all at once.

"I still prefer to drink alone." The smile on Gu Lianqi's face at this time looked arrogant, he knew since he was a child that Qiyan was the eldest son, and he was responsible for the continuation of the Gu family's prosperous family business, and now he was happy to see that he could do something he was willing to do, but the Gu family ...... The matter that the old man concealed was already like paper that couldn't keep the fire, although the Gu family did not directly intervene, but they participated in it back then, and now the news of King Jiang An's return to Beijing has also spread in the capital, and it is impossible for the emperor to take no action on this.

Even if the Gu family is not the first, it is the next one......

Maybe before the Gu family, the Qi family had been thoroughly investigated by the emperor, and the things he knew were probably not clear to Qiyan, who had just returned to Beijing, but today he had received news that the third prince, Mu Tianxing, would go to the Gu family tonight, and he would visit in secret.

The old man has never liked to deal with the government, and this time he is directly a child of the royal family, I don't know if this time it will give face to the third prince......

"Something is wrong with you today, but what are you hiding from me?" Gu Qiyan's indifferent tone seemed to ask casually, but looking at the look of the person in front of him, the seriousness in his eyes was by no means false, Gu Lianqi smiled a little unnaturally, but he still maintained the look just now, and after so many years, he also knew that the person in front of him liked to use this tone to let him show his feet when he was unsure.

"It's just that I'm probably a little greedy today, and on a whim, I talk more than usual." Gu Lianqi's answer seemed more natural, Gu Qiyan looked at the expression of the person in front of him for a while, and collected his own thoughts, today he is not here just to listen to the people in front of him, maybe the head of the family has already told Lianqi some information, for him, it is a lot of concealment.

For the Gu family...... He was getting more and more worried.

Gu's house

The door to the study was closed, and even the light in the room was a little dim, and there were two shadows on the ground, and judging from the posture, one of them was standing.

Mu Tianxing sitting, a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face, but his eyes seemed to be a little sorry, looking at the old man standing in front of him, there were too many things in his expression, but the purpose of his coming today was very simple, just to determine one thing...... Twenty years have passed.

The old man in front of him has a gray beard, but the wrinkles on his face do not make people ignore the wisdom and clarity in his eyes, he should be in his sixties, and his face maintains a calm look, although he can't feel the respect of ordinary people for the children of the royal family, but he never shows rudeness.

The old man of the Gu family was originally a respected gentleman in Canglan Academy, but later left Canglan Academy because of something, and after a long time, there was no way to explore, originally thinking that today he would come to visit with the old dean of Canglan, but after thinking about it again, it was better to come alone and not publicize this matter for the time being.

As for him coming here today, whether his father knows or not, there is still another plan, but today from the Yuanqing Villa, it is obvious that someone is secretly following, and it is still to be confirmed which person it is, but the people who met him in the villa, I don't know if the people from the good opportunity workshop under the father can find out, if those people are the subordinates of King Jiang'an, it can be seen that the current King of Jiang'an is very different from the past.

"I don't know what the third prince has to do when he visits, the old man is really flattered." If you think about it, it is actually not biased, the Gu family has been scholarly for generations, but it is not close to the royal family, the grandchildren have a Tiancheng County county order, and there is an official who has to be traced back to the generations of the last three generations, the Gu family is different from the four families in the capital, it is not easy to be involved in any partisan disputes, and at the same time it is also unwilling to participate, the father and the emperor specially gave marriage to the son of the Gu family this time, probably this is also the meaning, although the Hua family is also a family of merchants, but this situation is no different from the Gu family.

Listening carefully, the old man's tone actually had a hint of coldness, originally he invited two or three friends to come as guests today, but ...... With a special situation, at the moment, it is really unexpected.

Mu Tianxing's face with seven points of charm shows such softness, the habitual slightly raised eyebrows and eyes are very plain in front of the old man today, and the clothes are in red, it seems that since he received a red dress from his mother on that day, his love for this color of clothes is another meaning, now there is no nobility in purple clothes, but what is shown may be his original character, a red dress can also be cold and arrogant, even with the appearance of the demon Ye is also more graceful.

Mu Tianxing realized since he was a child that he was actually more like his mother, and the ministers said that his temperament was very similar to his father, who was also in his prime of life, but he had never heard of how he and his father were similar in appearance, and his temperament was ...... Oh, in the eyes of outsiders, it is difficult to see what his temperament is, speaking of which, it is just because the doubts in his heart are more and more as he gets older.

The mother concubine kept silent about a past incident back then, if not because she had not completely let go, or because she ...... There are still hidden secrets in the past.
