Chu Luan spent the night in prison, and heard all kinds of shouts and curses, as well as the sound of rats hiding in the shadows gnawing wood. Her heart was extraordinarily calm.

People like Wei Changlin couldn't bear to be disturbed, but seeing that Chu Luan was still calm and light, he couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

Generally, it would be creepy for a woman to stay in such a dim and shady place.

"Why should I be afraid?" Chu Luan stared at the dim light in the prison, not knowing what he was thinking.

Wei Changlin couldn't sleep left and right, so he simply chatted with Chu Luan, "Then do you want to go out?" Leaving this hellish place? ”

"It's useless to go out now, I'm already in a cage, and when I get out of here, a bigger cage awaits me." After speaking, she remembered Luoyin again, and added, "But I will definitely leave here." ”

Wei Changlin was simple-minded, he couldn't understand the meaning of her words, and he didn't understand how Chu Luan could have incomprehensible sadness at such a young age, so he simply changed the topic, "Don't talk about this, you said before that I look very similar to an old man of yours, what kind of person is that?" ”

Wei Wei has always been Chu Luan's taboo, and for so many years, no matter who mentioned it in front of her, it would inevitably provoke her to anger on the spot. To this day, she is rarely calm.

"Someone who is the polar opposite of you."

Wei Changlin said in disgust, "Then he must be very boring." It's not that he's narcissistic, the main thing is that he is a lively, chic and comfortable person, if the other party is diametrically opposed to him, isn't it a stuffy gourd?

Chu Luan didn't refute either, as if he acquiesced to his statement.

"I heard you like him?"

Chu Luan turned his head, tugged at the corner of his lips in the dark, and generously admitted, "Before." ”

She doesn't like it now, she likes Wei Li now.

Wei Changlin tried to see Luan's face clearly in the faint light, but no matter how wide his eyes were, he couldn't see clearly.

It's all to blame for this broken lamp!

I don't know if she's angry.

Wei Changlin decided to change the subject, "I heard that you grew up in Jiangnan, what kind of place is that?" ”

I don't know if tonight is very suitable for sadness, Chu Luan recited Wen Zou Zou's sour poem again, "Everyone says that Jiangnan is good, and tourists are only old in Jiangnan." ”

Wei Changlin couldn't understand it, and was a little impatient, "What the hell do you mean?" ”

Being interrupted like this, even the sad thoughts were dispelled by his words, Chu Luan gritted his teeth and made a decision, "After I go out, in addition to learning the rules, you will copy all the books in the study for me again." ”

Wei Changlin frantically protested, but Chu Luan ignored him anymore.

Being interrupted by Wei Changlin like this, she suddenly remembered Wei Li again. I don't know how the other party will behave if I am sad in front of him.

With such a longing, with the candle as a companion, go to the dream to find the answer.

Because of Chu Luan's refusal to admit guilt, the case of Gu Yin's murder was retried.

Dali Siqing continued to ask Chu Luan, "There are all the human and material evidence, and you still don't admit your guilt?" ”

In the face of the repeated persecution of Dali Siqing, Chu Luan looked directly at the other party, "I have already explained the rights and wrongs." Instead of wasting time on me, you should take a good look at the real culprit who killed Prime Minister Gu Cheng, and comfort the undead. ”

"You!"

Dali Siqing was furious, holding the token in his hand and about to move.

"My lord—" A sword guard came to the public hall, sweating profusely, and his eyes were full of fear, "My lord, Ye Cheng met and stabbed." ”

"What?"

The three divisions were incredulous.

first Gu Cheng was killed, and then Ye Chengxiang's son.

Pei Di hurriedly asked, "Have you ever seen the scene?" ”

The guard told the truth, "It has been confirmed that Prime Minister Ye Cheng's method of murder is the same as that of Prime Minister Gu Cheng, and it should be from the same person." ”

Dali Siqing immediately looked at Chu Luan, the people who supervised the cell yesterday were all his people, and it was impossible to let Chu Luan and Wei Changlin out. Even if he was unwilling, he had to let them go first.

In order to catch the people behind the scenes, the emperor specially ordered to strengthen the vigilance, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, which made the people in the capital panic.

Although Chu Luan had suspicions in his heart, he was not sure. She thought it was time to go to Mr. Chang and ask for an explanation.

The ministers also strengthened their staff, fearing that they would become the next unlucky man. He even handed over several family members to his room to keep vigil.

As soon as Chu Luan came out of Dali Temple, someone from the Ye family came to the door.

The main thing is the female dependents of the Ye family, nothing more than saying that Chu Luan is a disaster star, she had a hatred for the Ye family before, maybe she killed the person.

Chu Luan disdained to argue and directly asked Wei Changlin to beat them away.

"Girl."

Zhixia pushed the door in.

"In the two days I've been away, have you found out who is plotting against me?" Chu Luan looked at the scriptures in his hand.

Zhixia buried his head a little, a little ashamed, "Not yet." ”

Chu Luan snapped the scriptures, got up and picked up a robe, "It's okay." Now that I've come back, I'll personally investigate this matter, and you and Ruyi stay in the house together during this time to protect Luoyin. She sat in front of the mirror and tidied up her appearance, "Let the daisies not go out to buy by themselves these days, to avoid the limelight." ”

Zhixia looked at Chu Luan and said cautiously, "Does the girl think that this incident is coming at us?" ”

Chu Luan's eyebrows were stunned, and she slowly exhaled a breath of turbidity, she was not sure what the other party wanted to do.

"There's nothing wrong with being careful."

Since the appearance of the key to the thirteen divisions of Jiangnan, she has become more and more jealous.

Chu Luan packed everything and took Daisy out of the house to the Gu family to mourn.

As soon as she arrived at the Gu Mansion, the housekeeper at the door looked at Chu Luan and looked at each other, and pushed and shoved, and finally the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion happened to pass by and invited her in.

Although it was please, the little guy who led the way in front was a few feet away from them, and his pace was extremely fast, as if he was afraid of being contaminated with some bad luck.

Daisy was very dissatisfied with this, "What does this Gu family mean, knowing that this matter has nothing to do with the girl, and still acting like this." ”

Chu Luan was noncommittal, and let Daisy complain.

In front of the Gu Cheng Prime Minister's Funeral Hall, many guests gathered here, and the rest of the Gu family were greeting the guests, only Gu Yan knelt in front of the spiritual seat, looking in a trance, and the original romantic swinger was like two people.

Compared with him, the other Gu family sons looked much more stable, but their faces were somewhat sad. The other guests who came to pay their respects also looked solemn.

It was the eldest son of the Gu family who was the first to find Chu Luan standing outside the door and beckoned her to come in and offer incense to Prime Minister Gu Cheng.

Chu Luan lit a stick of incense and was about to worship, when Gu Yan suddenly got up and stopped her.

The crowd didn't know why.

Gu Dagongzi scolded in a low voice. Gu Yan didn't listen, but just stopped Chu Luan, with a confused expression and a little resentment.

She thought that she might have understood what Gu Yan meant. In the end, she still doubts her like those people, but she is just a person, how can she have such great ability? Chu Luan didn't want to worry about him, so he said, "I just came here today to give Uncle Gu a pillar of incense. However, Chu Luan is an ominous person in the end, so please ask Brother Yan to serve it for me. ”

Hearing Chu Luan say this, Gu Yan also knew that what he was doing was inappropriate, so he staggered his mind slightly and let Chu Luan step forward.

"Brother Yan, some words are inappropriate, but I still want to remind you that the real murderer is still at large, and the people in the capital are already panicking. If you are still like today, I am afraid that you will never be able to avenge Uncle Gu. After speaking, Chu Luan said goodbye and left.

Before leaving, she looked back at the Gu family in the hall and exhorted each other, and she inevitably felt a little envious in her heart. Their revenge can be avenged by brothers joining forces. And Ruan Qing's death, except for himself, no one will care.

Daisy saw everything in her eyes, and finally chose not to say anything, silently following behind Chu Luan.

As soon as he left the Gu Mansion, he greeted Wei Li and Lin Yi's master and servant, as if he was waiting for her here on purpose.

Wei Li smiled at her, "It's going to rain, I'll send you back." ”

The two walked together on the streets of the capital, speechless to each other. Since the last time they were on the street, the two have only seen each other for a few days. But there were so many things that had happened in the past few days that Chu Luan really didn't know what to say.

"Is Mu Xi still in your house?"

Wei Li asked suddenly.

Chu Luan pretended to be puzzled.

The more this appearance is, the more Wei Li is worried. He didn't want to go on like this, Chu Luan didn't tell him anything, how could he help her.

"That day, Lin Yi saw her enter the old house of the Du family."

Chu Luan was shocked, and he didn't even notice it at all when Lin Yi followed her that day.

Wei Li continued to ask, "What are you doing, what is there in the Du Mansion that makes you hesitate to take risks several times, why did these things happen when you went to the Du Mansion?" ”

A series of questions were like boulders on my heart, and I was about to lose my breath.

If the questioning didn't stop, she was about to be crushed to death.

"Why didn't you tell me anything, didn't you have me in your heart or did you never believe me?"

Believe? Believe again. She really hated these two words.

"Why is Murong Xiu so sure that the key to the Thirteen Divisions of Jiangnan is on you, and Murong Jin Mansion suddenly has so much extra family wealth?" It was as if he had fallen into a bottomless abyss, and the further down he went, the faster he fell. "Chu Luan, what are you hiding?" Unable to help himself, he imprisoned Chu Luan's arms and vowed to force an answer.

Chu Luan looked at him, and there was a pool of stagnant water under his eyes. She chuckled suddenly, extremely fast, very shallow, "Wei Li." She was tired and wanted to tell all the truth, but the last string of reason bound her.

No, it's not time yet. Revenge has not been avenged, shame has not been snowed, she can't give up her efforts.

"What do you want to say?" Wei Li saw her hesitation, and no longer forced herd, but turned to follow the temptation.

"I still want to go back to Jiangnan."

Wei Li was a little dissatisfied, "Why did you suddenly mention this ......?"

"But I probably won't be able to go back." Chu Luan gently broke free from the restraints and looked in the direction of the palace, "This cage is so big, I can't fly out, I can't find a way to live." ”

Hearing her say this, Wei Li was even more anxious, "What's wrong?" ”

"I used to take the initiative to enter the game as an outsider, thinking that I would be able to break the game with my ability, but until Uncle Gu died, I finally realized that this was a dead end from the beginning." She looked at Wei Li with a wry smile, "The battle for imperial power has always been a matter of life and death. Wei Li, you ask me what is the relationship between me and His Royal Highness King Jin, I used to think that I was a close friend of the same disease with him, and later I thought that I was the initiator of his misfortune, but now I feel that I am a chess piece in his hand, a chess piece willing to pave the way for him. ”

"So all the extra money in Ah Jin's mansion is your ......"

"It's me." Chu Luan said frankly, "I sold all the shops in Jiangnan to Quercus terrestris. It has nothing to do with the Thirteen Divisions of Jiangnan, that key is not mine, not yours, and not Murong Xiu's. Her eyes were determined.

"Ah Luan, I said, you can tell me no matter what happens, and I will always protect you."

"I know." Of course, she knew that Wei Li was a man of his word, but it was precisely because of this that she couldn't bear to use him again. "Wei Li, you have to admit that the reason why we can be together now is because we all have a common purpose and enemies, but when everything is over, many princes will inevitably cause a big chaos in order to compete for the crown, you and I are on opposite sides, how should we deal with ourselves at that time? Wei Li, I don't regret acquaintance, acquaintance, and love with you, but you can't forget your duties for me; In the same way, I will not give up my mission for you. All I can do is that the long whip in my hand will never be pointed at you. ”
