Fortunately, nothing went wrong at the banquet later, everyone went back after they were full of wine and food, and Gan Shunhua was also ready to go back early to prepare for going to Nanling, but she was left by the empress, so she had to let Gan Xinyi go back first.

The people at the banquet were all gone, and the only one who stayed with her was Xiao Guogong, who was already a woman of fifty, wearing a scarlet cardigan robe and painted with strong and luxurious makeup, and was serving the empress, and by the empress's side, there were only one or two maidservants, and the others had gone back earlier, and even the empress's favorite Nuojun had not left.

Gan Shunhua's first thought was that she had something important to discuss with her, and the lazy and leisurely appearance of the mother queen made Gan Shunhua very uneasy.

"Look at you like that, I don't know what it's nervous about, isn't it just a painting, even if Lone is angry, he is not stingy, otherwise why do you think Lone is sitting in this position today?" The empress sneered, telling Gan Shunhua not to be nervous: "You guy is good luck, this time you are just asking you to investigate the case, and this Xiao Qing's family will also protect you." ”

"What?" Gan Shunhua didn't know why.

"Xiao Qing's husband's mother's family is in Nanling, he is afraid that you are not familiar with the situation there, so he will take this opportunity to take leave from me today and want to go with you in person?" The empress smacked her lips and said in an envious tone.

It is best to have someone who is familiar with the situation to go with him, but Gan Shunhua always feels a little strange, how could Xiao Guogong resign for no reason? She didn't know what to do and never came up with a name, so she put this doubt aside, just thanked Xiao Guogong for it, and then was sent back to the house by the mother emperor.

When Gan Shunhua returned home, it was already time. She got out of the carriage and saw a vague figure in front of the house in a trance, and when she got closer, it seemed to be a man's figure.

Who is it? Gan Shunhua was very puzzled, and shook his head as if he wanted to shake off the ghost in front of him.

She drank a lot of wine today, and now that the wine is so strong that she can't even see people clearly.

"Why is it so late today?" Yu Zhi saw Gan Shunhua staggering onto the steps and went over to help her.

"Ahem, ahem." Gan Shunhua stared at Yu Zhi's face with drunken eyes, and smiled unconsciously, this smile Yu Zhi saw in his eyes, but it made his heart ripple.

"The mother queen is really too partial, she has either asked me to go to disaster relief in recent years, or to go to the place where there was a flood or epidemic to appease the people, or send me to live in a poor country for a few months, call her name, experience the hardships of the people, and be a good gentleman of all people. As for Ganqin, a princess, not a concubine, and she doesn't have the same merits as Ganqin, she just coaxes her mother, and she is named the prince and loved because her father is a favored monarch. You see, the mother queen asked her to investigate the case of King Ling, obviously to cultivate power for her, and the mother queen really still doubted me. Gan Shunhua's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally slowly turned into a small cry: "Now he borrowed me to take back the military power, pushed me to block the knife at the mouth of the wind and waves, and then protected Gan Qin, saying that I am not stingy, I think she is a narrow-minded woman." ”

"Alright, alright." Yu Zhi hugged Gan Shunhua, his heart was a little painful, no matter how Gan Shunhua tried to hide it, she was just a child who hid everything in his heart in his eyes, he kept patting her on the back and comforting: "Don't cry, she asked you to take over the matter of the Spirit King?" ”

Gan Shunhua snorted, I don't know if I heard it, so I fell asleep on Yu Zhi's body.

Seeing this, Yu Zhi had no choice but to take her back to the maid who Lu Mingxuan handed over there, and went back to rest, and touched Gan Shunhua's head when he left: "I will definitely accompany you." ”

When Gan Shunhua woke up the next day, Xiao Guogong was already waiting in the front hall, and she regretted that she had drunk too much yesterday and slept for so long, so Xiao Guogong waited. She asked the maidservant to freshen up for her and then went out to see Xiao Guogong, but why did Xiao Guogong care so much about this?

The reception room is in the front hall, and there is some distance from the bedroom to the front hall, Gan Shunhua walked quickly, and just after passing through a long corridor, he met Yu Zhi, who was waiting for her to come.

"Last night I said I was going to Nanling with you, what did you think?"

"Why go to Nanling with this palace?" Gan Shunhua didn't know what he was talking about, she searched quietly in her mind, but she still couldn't remember when she said this, and then she thought of the time he saved him and replied: "If you want to go with the palace, go there." After speaking, he didn't look at Yu Yi and went to the front hall.

Xiao Guocheng sat on the Nanmu chair and drank the top cloud tea, while Yin Zijue was sitting aside, seeing Gan Shunhua coming, the two of them hurriedly got up and saluted, Gan Shunhua waved them up, and he also sat in the top position, and she didn't take the tea that the maid made for her, but just let Yin Zijue go out for the time being, and talked to Xiao Guogong alone.

"It's good to start this as soon as possible, after all, the sooner you go, the clues left behind will not be destroyed, so the minister plans to leave tomorrow, I don't know what the princess wants?" Xiao Guogong clasped his fists and saluted.

"Then let's decide!" Gan Shunhua nodded: "Nanling Palace is not very familiar, and it will depend on Xiao Guogong these days." ”

Gan Shunhua remembered the incident of the Jiangnan salt merchant again, and casually cared: "Ling Gongzi is okay!" ”

Xiao Guogong's face suddenly changed, and he promised as if he was smiling: "The dog is okay, thank you for your concern." ”

"That's good." Gan Shunhua also prepared that Xiao Guogong would educate his son not to do such a criminal thing next time, but seeing Xiao Guogong's bad face, he didn't say this.

"There is still something to explain in the house, so Weichen will leave first." Xiao Guogong got up to say goodbye.

Gan Shunhua nodded, and asked the attendant to send Xiao Guogong away. As soon as Xiao Guogong left, Yin Zijue pushed the door in.

"Does my wife want to go to Nanling? I'm going too. Yin Zijue walked up to Gan Shunhua with a smile.

"When will you be able to fix this?" Gan Shunhua held his forehead and blamed him: "Always eavesdropping." ”

Gan Shunhua is just a joke, but in Yin Zijue's opinion, it is a sign of anger. He showed an aggrieved look: "Wife, I'...... I didn't mean to. ”

Gan Shunhua was dumbfounded and waved his hand: "Okay, okay, I don't blame you, I'm afraid I can't take you this time, this is to investigate the case, not to play, there are too many forces involved in this trip, and there are many bad lucks, you are infected with the wind and cold again, rest at home!" ”

"Then ......" Yin Zijue was about to ask Gan Shunhua Yuzhi how she could go, but seeing that she was very tired, she didn't continue to ask. I just answered a sentence and went back.

Gan Shunhua asked Yu Zhi to come to the front yard to discuss with her about going to Nanling, and after instructing him to bring the things he wanted to bring, he hurriedly had dinner, and went to bed after playing with Gan Zhi.

On the second day, Xiao Guogong packed his luggage early and waited in the front hall, Gan Shunhua changed into a linen-colored short shirt and a mid-length skirt of the same color prepared by the maid, tied his hair with a ribbon rope, and the whole person looked simple and neat, heroic and chic.

"It's like a handsome man." Gan Shunhua looked left and right in the mirror, very satisfied.

"Her Royal Highness." The maid on the side shouted to remind her that Xiao Guocheng was waiting in the front hall.

Gan Shunhua smiled, strode out of Lu Mingxuan, and went straight to the front hall. She was now more and more puzzled, but she couldn't find any suitable reason to convince herself.

"See Her Highness the Princess." When Gan Shunhua arrived in the front hall, Xiao Guocheng was sitting and drinking tea, Yin Zijue was sitting in the right seat and entertaining them with a smile, and Yu Zhi, who was about to go with her, was also dressed as a civilian, but it was an ordinary white brocade dress, which looked a little extravagant.

"Hongu thought that only he had this idea?" Gan Shunhua took a sip of tea from the maid on the side: "This time, the palace doesn't want to make a noise, but wants to check quietly." ”

"Your Royal Highness, with all due respect, we went in civilian clothes on this trip to hide people's eyes." Xiao Guogong stood up and put his hands behind his back: "The document sent to His Highness to deal with this matter yesterday has been sent to Nanling through His Majesty's hand. The people over there in Nanling knew that His Royal Highness was coming, and they couldn't hide it from passers-by, but they couldn't hide it from the children of the Spirit King. ”

"This palace knows, then follow what Xiao Guogong said." Gan Shunhua took the lead and walked out, ignoring even Yin Zijue.

"Yes, the minister has already ordered someone to prepare a carriage and pretend to be a rich child" Xiao Guogong saw Gan Shunhua walking out first, and also followed.

Seeing that Xiao Guogong was about to leave, Yu Zhi finished saluting Yin Zijue and went out.

Gan Shunhua hadn't looked at him since he came in, and Yin Zijue couldn't help but clench his fists.

Did you change your mind? Yin Zijue looked at Yu Zhiyuan's back hatefully and thought.

"Coming out so soon?" Yu Zhi sat in the carriage and laid the curtain for Gan Shunhua.

"It's not a life and death, so why bother. Anyway, I'll come back after investigating the case. Gan Shunhua fanned the wind with his hand, widening the distance between himself and Yu Zhi.

"To be honest, the Spirit King is dead when he dies, but he threw down such a big mess for the palace to clean up." Gan Shunhua shook his head, and there seemed to be a girlish innocence and beauty on his little face: "The species left by the previous dynasty, no matter how much kindness he has to Taizong, Her Majesty the Empress will not like it." Now it's just for show. Whoever is the most suspicious is the murderer! ”

"I don't think you're like that." Yu Zhi saw her breezy appearance, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Kindness? Chaste? Love the people like children? Gan Shunhua chuckled: "You also believe these deceitful people, who was born in the emperor's family, which one is not dirty?" Oh, by the way, except for the sister of the palace, Gan Xinyi, she is innocent and romantic, simple and kind? ”

"Forget it, let's not talk about that. But the problem is that you're thinking too simply. Yu Zhi explained: "First of all, no matter how much Her Majesty the Empress doesn't like the Ling King family, His Majesty still has to abide by the will of the Taizu, and it can be seen from the fact that she sent the royal family to investigate this matter. Moreover, the relationship between the Spirit King clan is complicated, and if you really catch the person who is the most suspicious as you said this time, I am afraid that you will be upset. ”

Yu Zhi saw that Gan Shunhua was thinking about it, so he continued: "The Spirit King has an eldest daughter and a concubine. Originally, according to the law code of the Moon Kingdom, the position of the prince should be inherited by the eldest daughter, but the spirit king favored the concubine and had to make him the son. He also played several times, but Her Majesty the Empress had not agreed for the time being, and he returned to the West. ”

"It seems that this trip to Nanling will not be too smooth." Gan Shunhua had just finished sighing, and there was a sound of weapons clashing outside the carriage, Gan Shunhua hurriedly sat up, took the sword on the side and prepared to rush out.

"Don't...."Yu Zhi pressed her body to get up: "It's dangerous outside, I'll go out and investigate first." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gan Shunhua to reply, he jumped out of the carriage.

What does it mean to have a man stand out for himself? Gan Shunhua's face flushed, and she jumped out of the carriage with her self-esteem. Then an arrow slashed through her shoulder and landed on the carriage.

"Didn't you stay in the carriage? What nonsense. Yu Zhi stood in front of Gan Shunhua, swung away all the arrows that were shot at her, and then stuffed her into the carriage with his right hand.

Gan Shunhua didn't dare to squeak anymore, and stayed in the carriage obediently, now she is full of regret, she didn't practice martial arts well at the beginning, and now she has to be saved by her own side, if it spreads, it won't make people laugh off their big teeth.
