Because of Yueyan, the original departure date was postponed again and again, and when I returned to Gangneung, it was already the beginning of August.

The weather in Gangneung has officially entered a kind of wonder, with cold in the morning, hot in the afternoon, and mink in the evening.

Because of the scorching heat, Gu Mingzhu really didn't want to go out, and after shrinking at home for a few days, the white carrier pigeon landed by the window.

Yue Yan took the letter as usual and handed it to Gu Mingzhu, who was drowsy on the side: "Miss, letter." ”

Gu Mingzhu took the letter, barely cheered up and opened it, just glanced at it, sat up, and looked focused.

Yue Yan stared at the snow-white carrier pigeon suspiciously, and said, "Miss, why haven't I seen this pigeon?" ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "Xu Jue sent it, saying that it was raised since childhood, and it is humane. ”

Yueyan was slightly stunned, looking back at her in the sunset, she pondered for a moment, and said, "Miss and Xu Shizi ......"

Gu Mingzhu raised his head and said, "Okay." ”

Yueyan's intuition was good, not just good on the surface, she vaguely guessed something, but she didn't say anything more.

Gu Mingzhu said: "I'll go out." ”

Her mood was a little happy, and even her steps became brisk.

The night is up.

The night of Gangneung City has just begun, and the streets are crowded with people.

The carriage stopped in front of a secluded mansion, and Gu Mingzhu got out of the carriage and pushed the door in.

The courtiers noticed the movement, turned around, and smiled at her.

Gu Mingzhu stepped forward and said, "How is the prince's body?" ”

Xu Jue shook her head and took her hand: "When I go back this time, it looks worse than before." ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "Jiren has his own natural appearance. ”

She probably also knew that Xu Wei was at the end of the crossbow, but she didn't know what to say to Xu Jue at this moment.

Xu Jue was silent for a moment and said, "I told my mother about you, and she wanted to meet you." ”

"When the matter in Gangneung is over, I will definitely come to visit."

The two walked into the gazebo, where the summer evening breeze was gentle, with tea and two plates of snacks on the table.

Xu Jue sat down first, hugged the person to his lap, and said, "I haven't seen you for a month, why is it still light?" ”

Gu Mingzhu leaned into her arms, stretched out her hand on the bench, and Xu Jue caught her body with the crook of her arm.

She said, "It's haggard for Yi to make people haggard......"

Gu Mingzhu thought secretly: This person's meat pillow is comfortable.

Xu Jue wrapped his arms around her, chuckled lightly when he heard the words, reached out and took out an object from his arms, and slowly put it on her hand.

It was a silver bracelet with two small bells tied to it.

Gu Mingzhu said: "When did you buy it?" ”

Xu Jue said: "When I was in Dangzhou, I felt that I was lining you, but when I arrived in Gusu, I was in a hurry, and I forgot about it afterwards, and on the way back to Kyushu, I realized that I forgot to give it to you." ”

Gu Mingzhu shook his wrist, the bell made a crisp sound, and the white wrist was particularly eye-catching under the moon.

"It's beautiful." She said, then remembered what was going on, and said, "Yun Zhao has returned to Jiangling a few days ago. ”

Xu Jue was tickled by that wrist, reached out and grabbed a lock of her hair, circled the ends of her fingers, and said, "En." ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "I came to tell you that tomorrow morning, someone will mention the matter of Yun Concubine, whether Yun Concubine is innocent or not, it will not affect the identity of Emperor Yunzhao's heir." ”

Xu Jue said, "What do you want?" ”

"Help him."

Xu Jue pointed his fingers, looked down at her, and said, "Help him ascend the throne?" ”

"Yes."

Xu Jue remembered the answer he didn't get last time, he felt uncomfortable, but he didn't show it, and said, "Why?" ”

Gu Mingzhu didn't notice Xu Jue's strange appearance, and said, "It's very useful." ”

Xu Jue said: "Yun Zhao returns to the royal family, then he is not far from the throne." ”

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "I know, the throne is close at hand, and far away in the sky." ”

Xu Jue's gaze looked into her sparkling eyes, his throat rolled inexplicably, and he longed to rise sharply, saying, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"No, you can just look at it." Gu Mingzhu played with the small bell on his wrist and said, "I'll talk to you." ”

Xu Jue leaned closer and said, "En? Afraid of me making trouble? ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "Wronged! I'm really just talking to you casually, and if you don't want to hear it, then I won't talk about it in the future. ”

Xu Jue said: "I think, I want to hear it, I love to hear everything you say." ”

Gu Mingzhu looked at him suspiciously, Xu Jue lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, and sighed: "It's really hard to endure these days......

Gu Mingzhu didn't know why, and when he looked up, he saw a sky full of stars in the night.

Her eyes reflected the stars and the moon, but Xu Jue's eyes reflected her.

……

Following.

The atmosphere at the court was tense, and the young officials came out to wait.

The emperor sat high, his majestic gaze swept over the group of people below, and said, "What do you Aiqing think?" ”

The newly promoted waiter of the Ministry of Rites groaned out and said: "The minister seconded the proposal, if Concubine Yun really has a son left, then this child is the emperor's heir, and the matter is too big to be sloppy." ”

The first at the left and right ends are Li Xiang and Xu Jue.

Both of them spoke out.

The officials did not dare to speak out at will, and they were all secretly embarrassed.

The emperor didn't know what they were thinking, snorted, his eyes fell on the person on the left, and said, "What does the left minister think?" ”

Li Yi pondered and replied, "I think it's ...... I thought it was ......"

The emperor's eyes flashed with displeasure, and he said, "Han Zhi, what do you think?" ”

Han Zhi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said that he gave up his hand: "The minister thinks that the heir is a big matter, and he must not be sloppy, and he needs to investigate clearly." ”

"According to you, how do you investigate?"

"The minister thinks that since he asked for a certificate, he must first find out what happened back then, and since there is a son left, it means that someone in the palace knew about it at that time."

The emperor looked at him and asked for a moment, "What do you think?" ”

Someone replied in a loud voice: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

Someone starts and the matter will not be put aside.

The emperor swept around, and finally said, "Okay, then this matter will be handed over to Song Qing to investigate." ”

The young official bent down: "The minister obeys." ”

The early dynasty dispersed, and the officials left the palace in twos and threes.

Song Zixi walked at the end, some of the officials were looking at him, some stepped forward to talk a few words, and when they arrived at the gate of the palace, a touch of red clothes was standing next to the guards.

It was a tall figure.

Song Zixi stepped forward and saluted: "Xiaguan Song Zixi, I have seen the prince." ”

Xu Jue looked back at him and smiled faintly: "Lord Song." ”

Song Zixi bowed his head.

Xu Jue said: "Lord Song is from Gusu. ”

"Yes."

He looked at Song Zixi, as if he was looking, without a look: "Is there someone to instruct today's heir?" ”

Song Zixi shook his head: "Back to the world, no one instructs." ”

Xu Jue said: "No one instructed me? Lord Song will suddenly mention Yun Concubine? ”

Song Zixi lowered his eyes and said: "When I read the secretary, I saw it by chance, and I felt a little strange, the book said that Yun Concubine was cold in winter, but the food was difficult to swallow, and the menstrual cloth was found piled up under the bed after her death, so the official made a bold guess. ”

Xu Jue stared at him for a long time, and finally said, "Lord Song is really a young man." ”

Song Zixi didn't know why, so he had to listen with his eyes down.

The carriage came, Xu Jue stepped into the carriage and walked out of the palace gate.

As soon as he left, Song Zixi's whole nerves relaxed, and he realized that he unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat on his back.

Song Zixi is young in the end, although he didn't pretend to be timid just now, his body's instinct is still very honest.

Obviously, it was just a simple question, but the kind of murderous atmosphere that came to the battlefield was too oppressive.
