Chapter 221: Inevitable

"Hmm." Although Qing Ruiyang didn't want to admit it, it was true. They searched the yard many times inside and out, but found nothing but baskets and baskets of mushrooms.

"Although a few corpses were also found, but when I called the officials to send them, I only found out that they were ordinary people, maybe they were poisoned because they angered Gu Huai, but nothing else, they couldn't be found at all." Only then did Qing Ruiyang know why Qing Ruifan wanted to use the three of them to unite with Liulizhuang to investigate.

Gu Huai is really cunning.

Qing Ruiyang had reason to believe that the courtyard was deliberately revealed to them by Gu Huai, otherwise they might not be able to find it.

Not to mention that this yard is dilapidated, the key is that it is remote, and if you don't have a sincere desire to find it, you basically can't find it. He remembered what the guard said, "Someone took the initiative to come to the door to report", and that initiative was very problematic.

But by the time he reacted and asked someone to check on the messenger, the building was already empty, and there was nothing left. All this is in vain after all.

"Normal." Qing Ruifan's face didn't change, he had already thought of this one. What kind of person Gu Huai is, he can't understand it anymore Based on those materials and his own experience, "He was originally a cunning rabbit, and he was not wronged at all if he didn't find it." ”

"In two days, you can ask someone to leave for Jiaxing." Qing Ruifan let the blue clothes collect the rice paper, painted Gu Lingge in the piano, touched the strings and sat quietly on the futon, behind Qing Ruifan painted a golden-bodied Buddha, compassionate eyebrows, treasure *, hand knot Buddha seal, Buddha light. Squinted his eyes and looked at the back of Fuqin in front of him, gentle and loving.

"Jiaxing? Why? Qing Ruiyang didn't know what Jiaxing was, and in his eyes, he didn't even have a big concept of the word "Jiaxing", only a vague impression that it was a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. But that kind of town should have nothing to do with Gu Huai's whereabouts.

"Long Wei reported that he saw Gu Huai's entry and exit records over there." Qing Ruifan himself didn't want to involve Gu Lingge. It was only because Gu Lingge might be in Jiaxing that he wanted to use all his strength to investigate, but he couldn't come out openly, so he could only excuse Gu Huai being there.

"No, Brother Huang." Qing Ruiyang couldn't see anything in Qing Ruifan's expression, he always felt that something was wrong in his heart back then. He felt that he was not mistaken, Qing Ruifan had just become uneasy for a moment.

"What's wrong?" Qing Ruifan straightened his face, and the invisible coercion spread out, and the blue clothes shivered lightly outside, but Qing Ruiyang didn't notice it. He may have been accustomed to Qing Ruifan's appearance of changing his face from time to time, and coughed and was about to reason with him, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he couldn't find anything wrong.

He can't say, "I don't think your face is right."

"It's okay, it's okay, the younger brother will go and sum up with the old ten later, and set off on time the day after tomorrow." Qing Ruiyang's impression of Qing Ruifan is really getting worse and worse. Although Qing Ruifan usually seems to be no different, he can feel it in some details, he is moody more and more, his eyes are sometimes fluttering and sometimes fierce, and he is doing things more and more vigorously.

This is a sign of the emperor's growth, but it is also a manifestation of Qing Ruifan's death.

"I'm not unkind." Qing Ruifan has become terrifying, and there is another performance, that is, he seems to be able to read minds overnight. Qing Ruiyang's sometimes vest numbness comes from Qing Ruifan's glance, which makes people tremble.

"The younger brother naturally understands, the emperor has all the opportunities, and the state affairs are hard, so you must pay attention to the dragon body, and taking care of it is the blessing of the country." Qing Ruiyang was naturally not stupid enough to be more serious with Qing Ruifan, and changed the topic unnaturally.

Qing Ruifan opened his mouth to say something, looked at Qing Ruiyang's lowered eyebrows, and the turbidity he sighed disappeared into the wind, and the smoke and dust from the incense burner were scattered in the hall. Every piece of brick and stone here, every decoration doesn't know how much Qing Ruifan's helplessness has received, but he has never said a word, and endures it silently, as if he has never been sad.

"I understand, you can kneel down if you have nothing to do, stay here for a long time for this big New Year, and Yunshuang will come to ask me for someone." Although there is no such precedent, Qing Ruifan can imagine it. is obviously the person next to Gu Lingge, but his personality is completely different from Gu Lingge, for the sake of her husband, Yunshuang dares to poison herself, for the sake of that sentence of "cherish", Yunshuang can go to the soup to fight the fire, but Gu Lingge can't.

After Qing Ruiyang retreated, Qing Ruifan had no interest in continuing to paint, so after thinking about it, he still asked Lan Yi to walk to the imperial garden with him. Basically, there are only a few places he is interested in going to now.

"Blue Yi, you go and bring Lixia over." Qing Ruifan arrived at the place, stepped on the snow that had been swept once, sat in the pavilion in the center of the lake, supported his cheek with one hand, and quietly looked at the frozen lake.

The northeast corner of the lake is the tree. The trees in this palace are basically evergreen, and the fallen leaves are unlucky in the palace, and all are rarely introduced.

It just snowed yesterday, and the goose feather snow happened at night, quietly, and the next day when I got up and opened the door, it was already a silver wrap, and it also added an extra layer to everyone's clothes.

During Qing Ruifan's boring staring at the tree, the snow on the tree slid down, he stared intently, smashed to the ground and made a crashing sound, he turned a deaf ear, only watched the big lump of snow turn into scattered pieces and small pieces, the sound was not loud, but it was heartache.

Lixia was soon brought over, looking at Qing Ruifan as if out of the soul to look at the tree, she seemed to have a bottom in her heart, after she asked for peace, she stood next to her as a sculpture in a proper manner, anyway, Qing Ruifan often called her to stand for half an hour, without speaking or punishing, she should come out to breathe.

"Lixia, did your master come to see this tree later?" I don't know how long it took before Qing Ruifan coughed and said softly. Listening to Lixia's ears, there was a feeling of being suddenly separated from the world, Qing Ruifan's words were abrupt, and Lixia didn't think much about it According to the truth: "No."

"Well, that's ......" Qing Ruifan replied indistinctly, and then continued to tilt his head to look at the lush tree. He had tried what it would be like to stand on it, and when he stood on the branches, he realized that he could see the tiles of the palace, and even the eaves beasts.

But it's cold, even on a summer night, standing on it will give you goosebumps from the night wind, let alone winter. Qing Ruifan suddenly missed the woman dressed in black now, she stood on the tree, the shadow covered her body, but her eyes were the most heart-wrenching double knives in the world.

"Blue clothes, when spring begins, let people cut down this tree and throw it away." Qing Ruifan stood up, took one last look at the trees that were still straight and straight in a piece of silver, and left without a trace of nostalgia.

Yongwang's Mansion.

After Qing Ruiyang returned home, he asked Yunshuang to bathe and change clothes for him. When Yunshuang undressed him, he saw that his clothes were covered in cold sweat, and he was shocked, thinking that he had encountered some danger.

"This king has nothing to do, but he is always a little restless in his heart." Qing Ruiyang soaked himself in hot water, rubbed his eyebrows, closed his eyes and recalled Qing Ruifan's eyes, his heart was still hairy, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"Brothers didn't do this before." He looked at Yunshuang with an innocent look, touched the top of her soft hair, sighed, and spoke eloquently.

"In the past, no matter how he dealt with people, how resolute he was, he was always the third brother when he treated our royal brothers." Qing Ruiyang understood that he was being a strong man, but he was still sad to see him become a complete emperor like this, "It's just that he is the real emperor now." ”

"Lord Wang......" Yunshuang can empathize with Qing Ruiyang at this level, she has also watched Gu Lingge grow from a guard to a village owner, between the things to be given up, the things to be strengthened, she also feels uncomfortable looking at it, but there is no way.

"This is also an inevitable thing, after all, he is different from what we carry." Yunshuang also comforted herself like this back then. Because of the different positions, the things you think and face are also different, so there are all kinds of changes and growth.

This is always an unavoidable fact.

"The king understands the truth, but looking at the royal brother like this, I still feel sad." Qing Ruiyang grabbed Yunshuang's slender wrist, led her behind his back, and then leaned his head over comfortably. Her flat, warm abdomen gave him quiet support, and he slowly closed his eyes, no longer thinking about anything else.

Yunshuang wiped his hands and gently pressed his temples, hoping that he would be more comfortable. But this topic reminded her of Gu Lingge, who has disappeared so far.

She didn't know what position to use to contact Yun Mu. On the surface, she is married to the prince, and it stands to reason that she will not leave the house without major events; In private, she snatched Qing Ruiyang from Gu Lingge's side by trickery, it was impossible to say that she was not ashamed, but she didn't feel that she was wrong, and this was the reason why she couldn't make a decision for a long time.

Yunshuang half-lowered her eyelids, her long eyelashes leaking candlelight, she sighed, and gently nodded a kiss on Qing Ruiyang's forehead.

Broken temple.

The third child did what he said, and untied Gu Lingge in the middle of the night, Gu Lingge was groggy at the time, and after looking at him, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The next day, before Gu Lingge woke up, he heard Gu Huai's laughter. She was a little flustered, feeling like she was about to throw up. When I opened my eyes, I found myself placed on the edge of the door, leaning against the wood door, blowing a cold wind, and in a daze.

"I'll just say it, just rely on that rabbit cub Lao Tzu will give him another ten years of Taoism, and he may not be able to catch Lao Tzu." Gu Huai sat on the incense table, stilted his legs, and while gnawing on the big meat buns, he boasted to the third child who was eating steamed buns next to him.

The third child didn't speak, he looked at his nose and nose, and quietly finished eating the steamed buns, standing aside and not answering without answering.

Gu Lingge woke up and coughed regularly, she felt that there was blood in her throat that was about to run out, and she was already tired of the fishy sweet smell, so she coughed twice more and spit it out directly, anyway, she was not bad at that.

"Hey, mongrel." When Gu Huai heard the voice, he threw a flower roll over, and it happened to hit Gu Lingge's forehead, and the soft flower roll fell, Gu Lingge saw Gu Huai's playful expression.

"Feed you flower rolls, even if you don't eat them, what are you doing if you throw them away, pick them up for Lao Tzu!"
