Chapter 57: Planning
When she returned to the house, Yueyan was helping Chun'er cook in the kitchen.
Her abnormality attracted the attention of many people in the peach orchard.
Yue Yan disagreed, and entered with a food plate: "Miss, herbal tea." ”
Gu Mingzhu sighed, glanced up at her, and lowered his head: "Let it go." ”
Yue Yan put it down as she said and withdrew.
This silence lasted into the night.
Gu Mingzhu pushed open the window, and there was a person standing under the courtyard porch.
Yue Yan stood beside the vermilion lacquer-colored pillar, standing with his hands in his hands, his back was faint, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Chun'er whispered: "Miss, something is wrong with Yueyan today. ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "It's wrong." ”
She spread the book on her lap: "If she is too right, I will wonder if she has betrayed." ”
"Huh?" Chun'er looked puzzled.
Gu Mingzhu said: "You go and get busy." ”
Chun'er went out.
Gu Mingzhu loves to figure out other people's thoughts, but now, the woman's back is a little desolate for no reason, like a single tree in late autumn, and she is sudden.
What was she thinking?
Gu Mingzhu thought.
Is she analyzing the person? Or is it weighing whether to stay?
Yueyan sighed lightly and turned to enter the house.
Gu Mingzhu retracted her gaze, put away the book that was spread out, and looked at her: "Yueyan." ”
Yue Yan raised her eyes: "Miss." ”
Gu Mingzhu got up: "Second uncle, there is indeed a shortage of manpower, if you want to ......"
Yueyan said: "I don't want to. ”
She took a deep breath and looked at Gu Mingzhu fixedly: "I'm not going back to Kyushu." ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Do you know what this means? ”
"You can do whatever you want."
Gu Mingzhu was silent.
She walked up to Yue Yan from the table and thought, "You help me a lot, I shouldn't have swept you into this troubled water." ”
"Miss." Yue Yan smiled lightly: "I don't have a deep daughter, you also know my past, you asked me at the beginning, what do you want from you." ”
Her eyes were a little cold: "I admit it, I did have a plan to get close at the beginning, I saw that you have to be loved by the Gu family, you are young, and you have a marriage contract with Yun Zhao, thinking that doing things under you can let you go to the cheap place for me." ”
"But on the way, I think you are very strange, a sixteen-year-old girl, with such courage and courage, and vaguely mysterious, I don't think you are as arrogant and domineering as the rumors say."
"During the pacification, you gave me full authority to investigate the matter of the Pingjing shop, which made me feel even more surprised, you seemed to trust me very much, and then I wanted to stay, and you kicked me away."
Yueyan said: "You are very vigilant. ”
Gu Mingzhu looked at her as if she was looking at herself.
The most uncomfortable thing in this world is to look at your former self and have no way out.
"Miss, I can answer your original question now."
Yue Yan looked serious: "I am staying with Miss now, for myself, in order to one day, to overturn the case for the Huang family, my parents were wrongfully beheaded, my brother died of illness on the way to exile, and the Huang family ceased to exist overnight, I am not convinced!" ”
Her voice trembled: "I don't accept this heavenly way!" Why do they kill people when they want to, and set fire when they want to! Under those ugly faces, there are extremely dirty hearts, they talk and laugh, but they want to judge life and death, my own life, I want to decide by myself! ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "Think clearly? ”
"It's clear."
"Okay." Gu Mingzhu said: "Now that you have thought clearly, let's get down to business." ”
Gu Mingzhu sat down at the table and said, "Let's talk about the Changyin Palace." ”
"The palace that the emperor is going to build in Los Angeles?"
Gu Mingzhu nodded: "Exactly." The emperor wanted to practice the palace, but the treasury was empty, and he couldn't pay the silver, so he paid attention to the household tax. ”
Yue Yan thought about it and said in disbelief: "...... He's going to add a household tax? ”
"Yes, the will has reached the Ministry of Industry, and it is estimated that it will start in less than two days."
Yue Yan pursed her lips slightly, and pondered: "This kind of labor and loss of money is just afraid that the people will be resentful." ”
Gu Mingzhu said: "It won't be long before this Jiangling will be stormy, I am hindered by my identity, and I have a lot of constraints in my actions, when this time is over, we will go to the east." ”
Yue Yan probably also knew the situation in the east, thinking about Gu Mingzhu's messy involvement, and said thoughtfully: "Miss is going to the east, what should the prince do?" ”
Gu Mingzhu was silent.
Yue Yan asked this directly, and directly stumped her.
Gu Mingzhu was silent for a while and said, "How can you see it?" ”
Yue Yan smiled: "Miss treats him differently from others. ”
Gu Mingzhu propped his chin on his elbows and said thoughtfully, "Is it so obvious?" ”
"It seems to me that it is obvious."
Gu Mingzhu smiled and did not speak.
Yue Yan said again: "Since Miss has decided to go to the east, it must not be in the name of Gu Mingzhu, has Miss already thought of a plan?" ”
Gu Mingzhu's eyes were a little hesitant.
"What is Miss worried about? Worried about the son? ”
Gu Mingzhu exhaled deeply and said helplessly: "Your question makes it difficult for me to answer." ”
Yue Yan said: "Miss is in the middle of cardamom, and she meets such a shocking person as Xu Shizi, it is understandable to fall in love, but you should also know that the loyalty of Shizi is engraved in his bones, one day, if he knows what you have done, what should you do?" What should he do? ”
Of course Gu Mingzhu knew.
Yueyan pondered for a moment, and then said: "Presumably, Miss has also heard a lot of deeds about him, the son of the Xu family, who can be good at literature and martial arts, and is the backbone of the Northwest soldiers, such a high-spirited young man, with a proud temperament and sharp eyes, can he really abandon the prestige of the Xu family for many years and bear the charge of this chaotic minister and thief?" ”
Gu Mingzhu muttered: "The rebels and thieves ......"
Yes, the things she is doing now, in the final analysis, are against the court, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a rebel and a thief.
"You can't have both fish and bear's paws, and Miss always has to make a choice."
Gu Mingzhu rubbed his eyebrows, a little irritable: "Let's talk about this matter." ”
Yue Yan said: "Okay, back to Changyin Palace, the emperor wants to increase the household tax, Jianxing Palace, what does Miss want to do with this?" ”
Gu Mingzhu groaned and said: "The personal grudge between Prince De and King Rui has now reached the point where I want to get rid of each other as soon as possible, and if we want to completely muddy this pond, we still need a warm fire." ”
In this silent silence, the two reached a tacit understanding.
Yue Yan's eyes were heavy, and his expression was solemn: "The civil unrest in Sanzhou has made the emperor dissatisfied with King Rui, if he provokes it again, even if the two kings are not abolished, it will be difficult to do anything again." ”
"I'm afraid that he himself is dissatisfied with this, help him, he should thank me."
Hearing this, Yue Yan chuckled, thought for a while, and said, "It's too ostentatious to do it in Jiangling City. ”
"I've got a solution."
Yueyan looked at her.
The girl's eyes shone with a narrow light, and she looked down on the executioner of the thing in the cage, talking and laughing about a crime worthy of death.
Yueyan pondered.
She had already seen extraordinary, and vaguely guessed something, but she didn't ask much, and when she saw that Gu Mingzhu's words had come to this, she got up and said, "Then I'll wait for Miss's orders." ”
