When Lin Yunyan returned to the wing, Xu Yi mentioned to her that Mrs. Gu had come to visit.

"Mrs. Gu looked very concerned about Ah Jian's injury, and I wasn't sure how much to talk to her, so I was sloppy." Xu Yi said.

Lin Yunyan held her and said softly: "Just be sloppy, you know that you don't like to talk to people, if you suddenly talk about it, it will seem strange." It's not easy to tell you and Ahuan about the specific situation now, but don't worry, it's okay, it's good. ”

When Xu Yi heard her say this, he was really relieved.

She still doesn't know the inside story, but this kind of concealment is not the same thing as Liu Jing and Liu Xun hiding it from her before.

She can still tell the difference.

At the other end, Mrs. Gu returned to the wing room and sat still.

Unexpectedly got such news, she wanted to tell her husband immediately, but it was only noon at the moment, and the lord had to wait for the next government to return to the house, so she could only hold it and do whatever she had to do.

It's just that when she went to the Buddha to offer incense, Mrs. Gu was sincere, folded her hands, and prayed silently.

"The Bodhisattva blesses me with the true news, this news can help the master, and can help Jieyu Niangniang and the Fourth Highness."

After chattering, he kowtowed, and added a lot of sesame oil money, and then went home.

After entering the house, people couldn't help but be anxious again, and asked people to tell the porter that the master would report a letter as soon as he came back.

Partial, Gu Heng asked his colleagues to have dinner today, and Mrs. Gu waited left and right before waiting for her slightly drunk husband.

"Why did you come back?" Mrs. Gu was disgusted.

Gu Heng was drunk and was baffled: "What, what's wrong?" ”

It's an old husband and wife, and it's not a big deal to have a drink with a well-connected colleague......

How do you make it seem like he's not innocent?

While urging people to prepare sobering soup, Mrs. Gu pulled Gu Heng to the table and sat down: "I went to Guangde Temple today, and I met the county lord of Ning'an and Mrs. Xu, it turned out to be ......."

With Mrs. Gu's narration, Gu Heng was excited, and the wine completely woke up.

"Are you sure, ma'am?" He asked, "The previous injury of the Duke of Fuguo was to save the prince?" The prince sneaked out of the customs and got involved in the battle between the two armies? ”

"Mother Zhang heard it."

Gu Heng turned his head to look at Mama again.

Mama Zhang nodded: "The slave and maid were hiding behind the door panel at that time, and that's what the county lord and the maid beside her said." ”

Gu Heng touched his beard and asked again, "Could it be that he found Mother Zhang, and the county lord deliberately said so?" ”

"I also thought about it, so I went to see Mrs. Xu," Mrs. Gu said, "and then I thought, if it is a lie, what will the county lord do to lie to us?" ”

Gu Heng was asked.

There must be a purpose for deception.

If the county lord deliberately told a lie, then her purpose must be to mislead them.

If Gu Heng is self-righteous and spreads the news outside, once it is identified as false news, he can't eat and walk around.

Not only him, but also the four highnesses.

This trick is called the cause of trouble, pushing him and His Royal Highness out to resolve the current troubles of His Royal Highness the Prince.

From the point of view of common sense, it is such a move, but the prince's pile of troubles is clearly made by the Duke of Fuguo behind his back!

Others probably didn't notice this, but when Shan Shen went to the Ministry of Rites to ask the prince what he said, Gu Heng overheard.

There is indeed a contradiction between the crown prince and the auxiliary prince.

And if the contradiction originated from that rescue, it is not incomprehensible.

Of course, Gu Heng understood the Duke of Fuguo, and he didn't understand His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The Duke of Fuguo sacrificed his life to save the prince and broke a leg, but His Royal Highness didn't appreciate it, how chilling it was!

One time is not enough, and there is a second time, and the cold is even colder.

It is not uncommon for the Duke of Fuguo to quietly find trouble with the prince.

Gu Heng thought that he had guessed that Fu Guogong wanted to get off the prince's boat, but I was afraid that it was really not his crankiness.

However, Gu Heng is not stunned.

He didn't mind being a pioneer and attacking the crown prince in the Jinluan Palace, but he didn't want to be tricked, and he still had to be cautious.

After tossing and turning all night, Gu Heng took an idea.

Following.

In the early days, it was quite calm, and there was no needle point on the bright face, but anyone who was smart could feel an undercurrent.

After the next court, Li Shao went to the Ministry of Rites again.

He is not flexible in political affairs, but he is very sensitive to the eyes of others who glide over him, especially those who inquire, observe, and scrutinize.

In the afternoon, the strange sensation became more pronounced

"Dog," Li Shao confessed, "you go outside and inquire, what are they talking about?" ”

Wang Gouzi went out for a spin as he said.

It's been a few days since the seal, thinking about the New Year's Festival, some officials, especially the small officials, are more distracted than usual, and once they are active, all kinds of news will spread faster than in the past.

The bosses have stiff faces, and they won't easily catch people, and the little officials obviously don't have that ability.

Wang Gouzi casually walked around the thousand-step corridor and knew the situation.

Everywhere they are talking about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Auxiliary Guogong, and the center is directly pointing to the Yumen Pass back then.

The message is obviously not detailed enough, and some parts are specious, but it is precisely because of the ambiguity that it arouses people's curiosity more and more.

The rumors of Fu Guogong's injury that had been there before have been turned out again, pieced together, and the more they were put together, the more complete they became.

If it was a year ago, even if they scratched their ears and cheeks, they would not involve His Royal Highness the Prince, even if there were a few rumors, they would go in the left ear and out the right ear, and they would not be arranged.

But now it's different.

In the past few days, the Shuntianfu has been approaching step by step, and everyone has been discussing "whether Geng Baoyuan has anything to do with His Royal Highness", "What kind of appearance can the outer room envelop Liu Xun and enter the eyes of His Highness", "Geng Baoyuan is dead or alive" and a series of rumors, and naturally have the same enthusiasm for the "grievances and grievances between His Highness and the Duke of Fuguo" that were suddenly mixed in.

Chew the root of the tongue, chew the root of the tongue of His Royal Highness the Prince, chew one thing is chewing, chewing two things is also chewing.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, if you don't talk to your colleagues again, do you want to go to visit relatives and friends, and gossip about the prince with your neighbors?

Wang Gouzi's brows jumped when he heard this.

He knew very well how Fu Guogong was injured in the first place, and he knew even more that these discussions were categorically something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not want to hear.

His Royal Highness was already holding back the fire because of Geng Baoyuan's matter, and this kind of spark fell, but I was afraid that it would really burn.

And when he works beside His Highness, the most important thing is to ensure that His Highness is "peaceful".

After sorting out his emotions, Wang Gouzi returned to Li Shao and said, "It's going to be the New Year, and I'm not idle, so I'm discussing where to go back to eat." ”

Li Shao glanced at him when he heard this: "That's all?" Nothing to do with me? ”

Wang Gouzi lowered his eyes: "It has nothing to do with you." ”

Li Shao frowned.

He did feel something, but Wang Gouzi didn't need to lie to him, maybe he was wrong......

Wang Gouzi saw Li Shao's reaction in his eyes, didn't say anything more, and cheered up in his heart.

There are still a few days before he watched the government, as long as he takes good precautions and does not let His Highness know, after the seal, His Highness walks in the palace, there will be no things that are not long-sighted and muttering in person......

When it was time to go to the lower office, Li Shao went out of the yamen of the Ministry of Rites, and he did not return to the palace, but went to the front street.

Wang Gouzi was anxious: "Your Highness ......"

"If you don't want to eat in the imperial dining room," Li Shao said, "just have a drink in the front building." ”

Wang Gouzi looked worried.

"How?" Li Shao was unhappy, "They are going to be idle for the New Year, and they want to eat and drink, can't I eat?" ”

Having said that, where can Wang Gouzi stop him? had to wait for Li Shao to eat and drink.

Business was good everywhere a year ago, only a private room at the end, Li Shao sat down, and opened his mouth to ask for a lot of snacks.

Xu is taste is not bad, and after a quarter of an hour, Li Shao's expression stretched a lot.

Wang Gouzi was also a lot more relieved, so he just waited carefully and added wine to Li Shao.

Suddenly, there was some movement next door, as if he had drunk a lot, and he was talking with a big tongue.

"Is it true that the Duke of Fuguo is trying to save the prince's broken leg? I heard that he was stabbed by a Xiliang person, how could the prince meet a Xiliang person? ”

"How can this be fake? The prince sneaked out of the customs and pretended to be a soldier, how dangerous it is for the two armies to fight, if it weren't for the sharp eyes of the Duke of Fuguo, the prince would have been cut down by the Xiliang people. ”

"Then why is there no reward for meritorious deeds?"

"How? After the reward, won't the prince's bastard thing be hidden? ”

"If he hadn't saved the prince's life and kept his mouth shut, where would the Holy Lord be so respectful of the Auxiliary Prince? Who, you think, is he married? Lord Ning'an! The queen mother's favorite county lord! ”

"The county lord is like that, what kind of guest of honor can't be found? Fu Guogong is a young talent, he also injured his leg, and he can't bear it in winter. You can't lead troops to war, and you're not a civil official, and you're just a knighthood when you're idle. If he hadn't saved the crown prince, how could the saint have persuaded the queen mother to marry the county lord to him? ”

"Justified and justified! The crown prince inspected Yumen Pass on behalf of the saint, how dare he sneak out of the pass? ”

"Whew! You dare to let the guards rob other girls, why don't you dare? ”

"Also, His Highness is indeed acting out of the ordinary......"

When Wang Gouzi heard these words, his face was whiter than white and pulp.

He didn't expect that when His Highness came to have a drink, there would be a few mouthless things sitting in the private room next door!

As soon as he heard the first sentence, he knew that something was wrong, and was about to raise his voice to speak and listen to some movement for the next door, but before he could speak, he was stared at by His Highness with a cold gaze, so that he could not be reminded at all.

His Highness wanted to continue listening, but he deliberately interrupted, so if he wanted to persuade His Highness in the future, would it still be useful?

Wang Gouzi could only stand in place with his neck bent, watching Li Shao's face little by little, blacker than coke.

Li Shao didn't say a word.

His mind was full of, how dare these people? How dare Xu Jian?!

At that time, the situation of Yumen Pass did not spread in Beijing, and even some rumors did not set off a storm, and old things were hidden.

And now, it's all been lifted, and it's much more detailed than those rumors!

Even if someone once guessed more, they couldn't guess any details like "pretending to be a soldier", and there were only a few people in the capital who knew the ins and outs, and among them, Li Shao's most suspicious and first questioned was undoubtedly Xu Jian.

What a Xu Jian!

United and Shan Shen have been looking for trouble with him these days.

Now I still turn over the injured things and continue to add fuel to the fire, endlessly, endlessly!

His feeling today is not wrong, that is, someone is talking about him, thinking of those sights, Li Shao couldn't help but shudder.

So it seems that the entire thousand-step corridor has spread?

Li Shao raised his eyes and looked at Wang Gouzi fiercely: "This is what you said 'has nothing to do with me'?" ”

"The little one, the little one went out to inquire at the time, and I really didn't hear about it," Wang Gouzi said stiffly, "Xu knows that the little one is following you, and when they see the little one turning around on the side, they won't say anything......

Li Shao didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it.

Wang Gouzi was afraid that the next door would continue to talk, and he didn't know what he would say, so he moved his mind and loosened his fingers.

Smack-

The flask fell to the ground and the wine spilled all over the floor.

Wang Gouzi showed a frightened look, and knelt down: "Your Highness forgives your sins!" The small, the small ones didn't hold ...... steadily."

He let go of the sound, and when the sound came out, the next door seemed to be choked by the throat, and there was no sound for a moment, only for a short while, and then there was another sound of a chair being pulled, and then the door of the private room opened, and after the sound of hurried footsteps, it was completely silent.

Li Shao was angry, and quickly opened the door and looked out, only to see a few people dressed as small officials going downstairs.

"Running so fast," Li Shao gritted his teeth, closed the door and looked at Wang Gouzi again, "Tell me, is Xu Jian looking for trouble?" ”

Wang Gouzi opened his mouth.

Who is the hands-on person? It's hard to say.

Is there any promotion from the Auxiliary Guogong behind it? No doubt!

But he couldn't say this to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, he was afraid that His Highness would ignore it.

"Small, small I don't know, but ......" Wang Gouzi swallowed his saliva, "Little think, the person who spread these rumors must be trying to provoke His Highness, His Highness was already asked by Shuntianfu because of Geng Baoyuan's matter, and you are also annoyed by the Duke of Fuguo."

If you get angry because of this, whether you argue with others or confront the Auxiliary Prince, you will only get away with the will of the person who provokes trouble. ”

"You mean," Li Shao stared at Wang Gouzi, "I'll bear it?" He deliberately looked for me, and I still have to put up with him? ”

"Your Highness......"

Li Shao interrupted Wang Gouzi's words: "My father connived at him, and I knew that my father connived at him, and he relied on his father to believe in him, and in turn he asked me for trouble!" ”

Thinking of his father's trust in Xu Jian, Li Shao couldn't even breathe.

Why?

Obviously, he is the son of his father, but his father is biased towards Xu Jian, and he loses to an outsider in his father's heart.

The more Li Shao thought about it, the more angry he became, and he was not in the mood to eat and drink anymore, so he strode out.

Wang Gouzi got up with his hands and feet, and hurriedly followed out.

What they didn't know was that in the lobby downstairs, there was an old man who threw down the money and left in a hurry.

The old man is old, but his legs and feet are not slow, when he arrived at the official mansion and entered the study, the person sitting in front of him was Gu Heng.

"According to the small one, eight or nine are not far from ten," said the old man, "our people deliberately discussed next door, and I heard them say that His Highness dropped the wine jug there, and His Highness came out to take a look, and his face was very ugly. When he left, the little one saw it clearly and was angry.

It's not like being wronged and angry, it's more like being exposed and angry. ”

When Gu Heng heard this, he touched his beard.

Now that the results have been tried, it is time for him to move tomorrow morning.

Double the monthly pass, ask for a monthly pass!!
