Li Yuan quickly checked up and down the boat to make sure that there was no one else on the ship, and then returned to the ship's hall with confidence.

In the boat hall, Gu Yingying was lighting a candle, and Li Yuan hurriedly stepped forward to blow out the candle flame when he saw this.

Gu Yingying was stunned, and immediately understood that Li Yuan was afraid that lighting the lights would attract the attention of others.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think about it that much." Gu Yingying said in a low voice. Li Yuan said lightly: "Close the curtain and light the lamp again, be careful." Although this is a hidden place, it is also a Jedi from which there is no escape. ”

"Got it." Gu Yingying said softly, and then she walked over lightly, stumbled to close the thick floor-to-ceiling curtains, and closed the door of the ship hall tightly, and then groped for the candle to light it.

The candle flame lit, Li Yuan let out a long breath and sat on a chair. Gu Yingying walked to Gu Yaode, who was lying on the ground, with the candle flame in her hand, carefully checked Gu Yaode's appearance, and reached out to probe his snort, obviously worried about Gu Yaode's life and death.

But seeing that Gu Yaode's face was ruddy and his breathing was normal, he was relieved. When she raised her head, Gu Yingying saw Li Yuanzheng looking at her with blazing eyes, and hurriedly lowered her head and said softly: "He is my brother after all." Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, he can't die." In a few moments he will wake up, and I will still give him a slap to continue his sleep. Gu Yingying bit her lower lip and said, "If you don't worry, tie him up, don't hurt him." Li Yuan snorted coldly and was noncommittal.

Gu Yingying sighed softly, put the candlestick on the table, and walked out of the ship's hall with a teapot, and came back soon after, the teapot was already steaming, obviously getting some tea from the old boatman.

Gu Yingying put a cup of hot tea in front of Li Yuan, and she slowly sat in front of Li Yuan, and said in a low voice: "Take a sip of hot tea." Li Yuan nodded and said, "Thank you." Gu Yingying was silent for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "Are you really, is it Li Yuan, the emperor of Chu State?" Li Yuan said lightly: "Didn't you tell your brother that you had already recognized my identity?" Gu Yingying's face was slightly red and said: "I do suspect that you are Li Yuan, and I doubt your identity in Changzhou." My entourage saw the respectful appearance of a cadre of officials in Changzhou to you, although I didn't hear your conversation, but among the newly arrived Chu army, who can quickly mobilize the officials and people of the two counties? That's just a guess at how prominent you are. And I heard that Li Yuan is the same age as you, and your Jiangbei accent is also consistent with the rumored Li Yuan is a native of Chuzhou, and your speech and demeanor along the way, and your performance in arranging city defenses after you arrived in Suzhou, do not look like a school captain at all, so I guess you deliberately concealed your identity, maybe you are Li Yuan himself, of course, I am not completely sure, after all, which emperor in the world dares to humiliate and take risks single-handedly? Li Yuan frowned and said, "Then you informed your Gu family of your guess, right?" ”

"You're wrong, I don't say a word about your speculation. First, I'm not sure who you are, and second, I'm not the kind of person who talks a lot. I don't know how my grandfather found out who you were. They have kept many things from me, such as the marriage of me to the king, which I did not know until tonight. Gu Yingying lowered her head and said.

Li Yuan nodded lightly and said, "I believe you, it may be that I was careless, and I didn't know it when I revealed my identity." It's destiny that I can escape tonight, your brother ordered someone to put an anesthetic in my tea, but fortunately I didn't drink it, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting here now. Gu Yingying was terrified in her heart, and secretly rejoiced for Li Yuan.

Suddenly, seeing Li Yuan staring at the cup of tea in front of him, Gu Yingying hurriedly said: "There is no anesthetic in this tea, don't believe me to drink a sip of you and drink it again." In order to prove her words, Gu Yingying picked up the teacup and took a sip, choking on herself because she drank too fast, covering her mouth and coughing.

"Why bother, I said, I believe in you, and I drink it." Li Yuan spoke softly and reached out to pick up the teacup, but he was stunned there for a long time without moving.

Gu Yingying felt strange and hurriedly peeked at it. I saw Li Yuanzheng looking at the tea cup in a daze, and following his gaze, Gu Yingying's face turned red again.

It turned out that a faint lip print on the edge of the teacup seemed to be in my eyes, which was the lip print left when I had just drunk water.

The act of urgency just now was indeed to prove his innocence, but how could Li Yuan drink the tea he had drunk?

This is not to prove innocence, but to be ambiguous.

"I'll change it for you." Gu Yingying hurriedly reached out to grab the cup, but Li Yuan had already handed the teacup to his mouth and drank it dry.

"It smells so good." Li Yuan smacked his lips, not knowing whether he was talking about the fragrance of tea or the fragrance of beauty's saliva. Hearing this, Gu Yingying was even more embarrassed.

"Mrs. Gu, I have a few questions I want to get your answers." Li Yuan's voice instantly pulled Gu Yingying back to reality from her shy emotions, at this moment, I am afraid that it is not the time for me to express my emotions, and this Li Yuan in front of me is afraid that he has no heart to think about anything else.

"You just ask." Gu Yingying said. Li Yuan stared at Gu Yingying with burning eyes and said, "You said that you don't know anything about your Gu family's desire to be unfavorable to me, so why did you ride a horse to Sanhualou in the middle of the night tonight?" Gu Yingying frowned and said, "I know you will definitely ask about this, and I was about to tell you about it." This morning, my father came to talk to me, and there seemed to be a sense of blame for me, for being too close to you. He said that he would arrange for you to live in the Sanhua Building, let you move out of my Gu family's mansion, and warned me sternly, asking me not to go to you and not to contact you. Li Yuan frowned and said, "You mean, I moved to the Sanhua Building because I had a close relationship with you?" Does your father mean that he is afraid that I will ruin your reputation? Gu Yingying blushed and said, "My father didn't say that. I didn't understand what he meant at the time, but now I do. My father and they must be because the king wants to marry my Gu family, and they are afraid that I will do something wrong, and they are worried that they will not be able to explain. Li Yuan frowned and was silent, he was a little puzzled by what Gu Yingying said.

In Li Yuan's view, the reason why the Gu family let themselves move to Sanhualou was to get rid of themselves, but from Gu Yingying's narrative, it was obvious that this was another version.

"At the time, I was a little puzzled, but after all, my father opened his mouth, and I couldn't disobey him. So I didn't go to see you again during the day, and I didn't look for you at night. I myself feel that I have a closer relationship with you. To outsiders, this may seem like another idea. Gu Yingying said in a low voice.

Li Yuan smiled and said: "Yes, the eldest lady of the Gu family is tired of being with a strange man, and there are a lot of rumors outside, and I blame me for not paying attention." It doesn't matter if I'm a man, but you're a daughter in a boudoir, so it can't be like this, but in fact, nothing happened between us. Gu Yingying felt slightly disappointed in her heart, and she seemed to hear a kind of indifference from Li Yuan's words.

Especially the last sentence, Gu Yingying felt very heartbroken. Is it true that nothing has happened? So what do you say about riding together, grinding your ears and temples?

How do you say a bowl of soup and a cup of tea? However, when I think about it, it seems that nothing really happened.

Li Yuan didn't notice the turmoil in Gu Yingying's heart, and only said to himself: "Then how did you know that I was in trouble in Sanhualou, and why did you run out in the middle of the night?" Gu Yingying said softly: "Actually, I went to bed early tonight, but because my father's words during the day made me very unhappy, so I never fell asleep, so I got up and planned to go to my grandfather's study to read for a while." When I passed by the courtyard of the second uncle, I saw the lights on in the second uncle's hall, originally I was just passing by, but for some reason, I entered the second uncle's house by mistake, and then I saw the second uncle and the third uncle drinking and talking in the house from under the porch. The two of them spoke in a low voice and looked a little sneaky, which made me curious. So I hid in the door and listened to them. What I didn't expect was that I heard what the second and third uncles were saying that I hoped Yaode would succeed tonight and kill the man surnamed Li...... Of course, I was shocked to hear this, thinking of the fact that you moved out of my mansion today, and I suspect that my brother will be unfavorable to you. So I rode out on horseback, intending to go to Sanhualou to warn you to be on guard. But I didn't expect it to be too late at that time, fortunately, God bless, your auspicious Tianxiang was not burned to death in the Scattered Flower Building, otherwise if our Gu family really killed you, the son of heaven, in the future, a catastrophe will come, and the whole clan will be wiped out. ”
