The two of them sat down by the window, and from here, there was a turquoise lake.

The little guy served the tea, and when the green teacup was held in his hand, Xu Jue's eyes brought a touch of exploration: "Green jade porcelain south cup." ”

Gu Mingzhu picked it up and looked at it: "It's true." ”

"It's worth a lot." He said, taking a sip of new tea: "The tea is not bad, either." ”

The dishes are served, and the two move the chopsticks.

Gu Mingzhu asked casually: "Is there any eyebrows in the arson case of the Lotus Tower a few days ago?" ”

Xu Jue said: "There is progress, but the relationship is complicated and disordered. ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "I've heard my brother say something, I heard that it is related to King Rui?" ”

Xu Jue was not surprised that Gu Mingzhu would know this, and said: "Yes, a large number of squibs were found in the Lotus Tower of the Yan family, and the Criminal Department went to Ganzhou and found that the Yan family had close contacts with them. ”

Gu Mingzhu picked up a piece of bamboo shoots: "Then in your opinion?" ”

"It's a fact that the Yan family is openly open, it's just ......" Xu Jue paused: "It's just this play, and the people behind the scenes are ruthless enough." ”

Gu Mingzhu was surprised: "How do you say this?" ”

"Now that the East Palace is seriously ill, King Rui and Prince De are candidates, the five princes are still young, and they are not a threat to them, and the two kings are secretly competing on weekdays, and now that this is happening, it is difficult not to suspect that Prince De did it."

Xu Jue put down his chopsticks and suddenly commented: "The dish is a must." ”

Gu Mingzhu watched him put the chopsticks and said, "That's full?" ”

Xu Jue was not very accustomed to talking during meals, and asked, "What else do you want to know?" Say it together. ”

Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was indeed satisfying her curiosity.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Then this matter, is it really Prince De's doing?" ”

Xu Jue shook his head: "No." If he knew that there was artillery in the Lotus Tower, he would have personally led people there according to his temperament, so why did he come out like this. ”

Gu Mingzhu also put down his chopsticks: "Someone else?" ”

Xu Jue said: "There is another person, his purpose should be to cause King Rui and Prince De to bite each other." ”

Gu Mingzhu held the teacup, and the crystal clear green porcelain was slowly played with by her, her eyelashes drooped slightly, and then slowly brought the teacup to her mouth.

Xu Jue's name is well deserved.

Xu Jue said: "King Rui must be suspicious in his heart, but the Criminal Department found the jade pendant of the guards of Prince De's Mansion in the Lotus Tower, whether this matter was done by Prince De or not, King Rui must have calculated this account on Prince De's head, and he can't swallow this breath." ”

The corners of Gu Mingzhu's lips hooked a vague smile, and he quickly gathered it and said, "Then he will definitely take revenge on Prince De." ”

Xu Jue nodded: "When the two kings compete, there must be high and low, but no matter who loses or wins, it is a thousand enemies who will hurt the enemy and lose eight hundred, and there is no absolute winner, and this situation is the most satisfactory result for the people behind the scenes." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at him curiously: "Then you say, who will be the person behind the scenes?" ”

Xu Jue was silent for a moment, raised his head to look at her, and said, "If someone else asks me this question......

Gu Mingzhu looked at him even more suspiciously.

"I'll be suspicious of him."

Gu Mingzhu's face froze for a moment, and he quickly smiled: "You said me?" ”

Xu Jue shook his head: "It won't be you." ”

"Why can't it be me?"

Xu Jue said: "There is no motive, no purpose. ”

Gu Mingzhu was still holding the teacup, lifted the teapot and added water, and said casually: "Then what if it's really me?" ”

Xu Jue was silent again.

The teapot turned in a different direction, adding water to the cup in front of him.

Xu Jue stared at it for a while, then suddenly smiled and said, "I don't know." ”

Gu Mingzhu paused.

Xu Jue said: "If it were you, maybe I would turn a blind eye or not." ”

Gu Mingzhu's heart tightened for no reason.

She only now realized that she was a little stupid in this question, and she was also inadvertently testing his attitude.

Gu Mingzhu smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk about this, it's cold if you don't eat any more vegetables." ”

Xu Jue didn't move his chopsticks, his expression was a little strange.

Gu Mingzhu had already scooped a bowl of soup.

"Perhaps, I'll help you ...... again"

Gu Mingzhu looked at him suspiciously: "Help ......"

Before the words fell, September hurriedly walked in: "Shizi." ”

September's expression was solemn, and his voice was slightly low: "Something happened." ”

Both looked at him.

September said: "Prince De was attacked on the outskirts of Beijing, was seriously injured, and is now in Huyu Villa. ”

Xu Jue's eyes narrowed.

"There is a decree from the palace, saying that the prince is idle and has nothing to do, and let you go to Huyu Villa."

"Who's meant?"

"Gonggong Liu beside the saint."

Xu Jue groaned slightly, raised his head and said, "I'm going to the suburbs of Beijing." ”

Gu Mingzhu nodded, and said, "Then I'll go back by myself." ”

Xu Jue got up and was about to leave, but when he heard the footsteps, he forgot about this stubble.

Xu Jue said: "This place is not close to the Gu Mansion, why don't you come with me?" ”

Kindness?

Gu Mingzhu raised his head, weighed his mind quickly, and said, "As long as you don't feel troublesome." ”

Gu Mingzhu followed Xu Jue into the carriage.

In September, he drove the carriage out of the city.

Gu Mingzhu thought about what he had just said in September and asked, "Prince De's assassination at this time has muddied the water in this pond even more. ”

Xu Jue's eyes were dark, and with a hint of uncertainty, he said: "Originally, I was only ninety percent sure, but now I am completely sure." ”

He said: "What will be his purpose in so eagerly intensifying the contradiction between the two?" ”

Prince?

The Five Princes?

Xu Jue quickly denied the two of them.

It is a fact that the prince is seriously ill, and it is unknown whether he can survive this summer, and he has no children under his knees, so what's the use of fighting for this?

The fifth prince is only five years old this year, and his mother is the youngest daughter of the Ministry of Works' family, and her power is weak, so she can't lay out this kind of interlocking situation at all.

What is his purpose?

Don't...... Beyond that, is there a third person?

Xu Jue seemed to have grasped something, raised his head, and said, "September." ”

September answered outside: "Shizi." ”

"Let's come here."

"Yes."

There was silence in the carriage.

Gu Mingzhu lowered her eyes, not knowing what she was thinking.

Suddenly there was a thunderstorm, dark clouds quickly covered the sun, and after a while, the rain began to fall.

Half an hour on the road, Gu Mingzhu leaned against the car window, as if asleep.

Xu Jue stared at her for a while, then quickly frowned, found a cloak of his own from the carriage, and was about to cover her when the carriage stopped suddenly.

The car was violently bumped, Gu Mingzhu's body suddenly fell forward, Xu Jue didn't think about it, and hugged the person. There is a quiet fragrance in the arms, and the body in the arms is extremely soft and warm.

Outside the car, September's tone was solemn: "Shizi! ”

Gu Mingzhu was woken up, slowly opened her eyes, Leng Buding was patted on the head by him, tied her cloak carefully, and said, "It's raining outside, it's a little cold, wait for me in the car." ”
