The palace is so large that there are countless abandoned houses.

The cold palace where Gu Siyuan is located is in the most corner of the palace. It's like it's been forgotten, and it's usually deserted, and no one comes here at all.

Gu Siyuan and the crown prince Gu Siqi have been thrown in this cold palace for almost a year, and they are thrown here with the queen mother of the year.

Now, Gu Siqi is already crazy, and the Queen Mother is no better, she is in a trance all day long, and her mouth is babbling nonsense.

The only one who is sober is Gu Siyuan.

He straightened his hair in front of the well water, stood up and shook his robe.

Although the clothes were very torn, they were unusually clean and tidy.

The door of the cold palace was pushed open, and a hunchbacked uncle walked in tremblingly with a food box in his hand.

As soon as they saw this hunchbacked uncle, Gu Siqi and the Queen Mother sitting on the ground had their eyes lit up, and they pounced at once, and reached out to grab the food box in the hand of the hunchbacked old man.

Soon, the food box was snatched away, and the steamed buns contained in it were scattered all over the ground.

Gu Siqi and the Queen Mother didn't feel dirty, so they rushed up and grabbed the steamed buns and stuffed them into their mouths, gobbling them up.

Gu Siyuan was silent for a moment, walked over and picked up a steamed bun and sat aside, carefully blew the dust off the skin, and then stuffed it into his mouth.

He ate quickly, but his movements were elegant, not as embarrassed as Gu Siqi and others.

The hunchbacked old man stood aside, quietly watching the farce with cloudy eyes.

Gu Siyuan didn't speak, and gnawed on steamed buns by himself.

It's not that he doesn't want to talk, but he knows that no matter what he says, it's useless.

This hunchbacked old man, deaf, dumb and illiterate, was only responsible for delivering meals every day, and left after delivery.

Gu Siyuan thought, it was rare for Gu Nanfeng to bother to find such a person to serve them.

A steamed bun was eaten quickly, Gu Siyuan actually didn't eat much, but looking at the steamed buns on the ground that had been ruined by Gu Siqi and the Queen Mother, he lost his appetite again.

Seeing that they had almost eaten, the hunchbacked old man walked over and picked up the empty food box, turned around and left step by step.

Gu Siyuan sat in place, rubbing a string of rosewood bracelets in his hands. This bracelet is his only property, and I don't know why Gu Nanfeng didn't take it away in the first place.

———

On this day, Qin Zhiyi was sleeping on Gu Nanfeng's lap, and Gu Nanfeng was sitting upright.

Qingyun suddenly hurried in from the outside, blocked by the table, and he didn't see Qin Zhiyi lying on Gu Nanfeng's lap.

"Your Majesty, something happened to the cold palace." Qingyun said in a deep voice.

The pen in Gu Nanfeng's hand flickered, and a long ink mark was left on the participatory.

After a moment of silence, Gu Nanfeng picked up the pen and continued to annotate, and said expressionlessly: "What's the matter?" ”

Qingyun said: "There is a movement near the cold palace, it seems that someone is looking for them. Now people have been stopped by our people, but I don't know if there are any fish that have slipped through the net. ”

Gu Nanfeng raised his hand and put aside the reviewed recital, lowered his head and patted Qin Zhiyi's cheek, and said softly: "I have some things to deal with, can you go back to Fengyi Palace and wait for me first?" ”

Qin Zhiyi slowly opened his eyes, glanced at Gu Nanfeng, and then sat up.

Qingyun below was startled when he saw Qin Zhiyi suddenly sit up, and secretly rejoiced in his heart, fortunately he didn't say anything more just now.

Qin Zhiyi didn't ask much, stood up and walked out, saying as he walked: "When you come back, bring me a little peach crisp made in your small kitchen, and suddenly I want to eat it." ”

Gu Nanfeng nodded: "Okay." ”

When Qin Zhiyi left the imperial study, Gu Nanfeng's face suddenly changed.

"Someone touched the cold palace?" Gu Nanfeng said coldly: "Have you found out who it is?" ”

Qingyun shook his head and said, "Those people are all dead soldiers, and after being caught, they all committed suicide by taking poison, so they can't ask anything at all." ”

Gu Nanfeng was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "It seems that some people are thieves who are not dead, and they are trying to subvert my country with Gu Siyuan's hand!" ”

Qingyun's expression was solemn, and he hesitated for a moment before he said, "Your Majesty, why don't you get rid of them?" Keeping them is always a big problem. ”

Gu Nanfeng was silent and silent.

Why keep them?

He didn't even know it himself!

Qingyun didn't answer when he saw Nanfeng, and he didn't dare to ask more, so he said, "Now that they have found that direction, do they want to transfer?" It's not safe there. ”

Gu Nanfeng: "...... I think about it. ”

At the same time, in the cold palace, a dead soldier covered in blood fell into the courtyard where Gu Siyuan and they were.

Gu Siyuan was sitting in the courtyard, holding the sandalwood bracelet.

Suddenly, he saw a bloody man, and he only frowned slightly.

He got up, walked over to the man, and looked at the man in silence.

The man stared, lay on the ground gasping for breath, stared at Gu Siyuan for a long time, and then said with some uncertainty: "You, are you Gu Siyuan?" ”

Gu Siyuan paused, still looking at the man silently.

When that person saw his reaction, he had already determined in his heart that this person was Gu Siyuan.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed the hem of Gu Siyuan's clothes, and said with difficulty: "Zhenbei Hou...... Looking for you again. He—he said he could take back everything that belonged to you. ”

This time, Gu Siyuan finally had a reaction.

"Zhenbei...... Marquis? Gu Siyuan didn't speak for too long, and his pronunciation was a little difficult: "Help, oh?" ”

The dead man nodded and said, "The Marquis of Zhenbei will help you." ”

Gu Siyuan seemed to smile, and then said slowly: "He's Gu Nanfeng's...... Father-in-law. Gu Nanfeng, today, it all depends on him. He, help me? ”

"Gu Nanfeng crossed the river and demolished the bridge, treacherous, my monkey master now sees his personality clearly, and he is unwilling to work with him." The dead man spoke a little fast, and said: "Zhenbei Hou said, he can help you come back more." ”

Gu Siyuan didn't say anything, he looked at the dead man silently, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The dead man had to say more, but his injuries were too serious and he fainted directly.

Gu Siyuan looked at this person for a long time, and finally solemnly put away the bracelet in his hand, bent down, and dragged the fainted man to the well.

Then, Gu Siyuan threw the dead man directly into the well.

There was a pop, a few drops of water splashed, and then slowly calmed down.

After doing all this, Gu Siyuan dealt with the place where the dead man had been lying before, ensuring that there was no bloodstain to be seen, so he silently withdrew his hand and stepped aside.

In this way, no one knew that there was once an uninvited guest in this cold palace, and this uninvited guest said something to Gu Siyuan.

Gu Siyuan clapped his hands, turned his head, and met Gu Siqi's eyes.

Gu Siqi didn't know how long he had been standing, staring straight at Gu Siyuan.

Gu Siyuan was silent for a moment and shouted, "Big brother, have you seen it all?" ”
