Outside the hall, the wails of Mrs. Taifu and the sound of the board came one after another, overlapping.

In the hall, Gu Qingyue was silent, her expression remained calm all the time, and she drank tea slowly and methodically.

On the contrary, Fukang, who was sitting opposite, looked nervous, and glanced outside the courtyard from time to time.

"Your Majesty, if you want to open a harem cabinet, is it really not what the Taifu asked?"

Gu Qingyue took a sip of tea, lifted her eyelids, and glanced at Fukang: "Fukang, how smart are you in Su Riri?" Why are you confused when it comes to this? ”

Fukang was stunned.

"Not to mention that Taifu has been grounded in the house for a long time, and he has never had the opportunity to fold. Even if he is not grounded and moves freely in the court, with his temperament, how do you think he will ask for an official for you? ”

Bang-

The teacup slammed on the table.

Gu Qingyue turned her head half sideways, staring at Fukang, and gently tapped her right knuckle on the table.

The latter frowned slightly, lowered his head, and his eyes were so secretive that he couldn't see what he was thinking.

After a pause for a few seconds, Gu Qingyue sighed, and then said: "I know that you and Lu Huaijin have been at odds for many years, and in your heart, Lu Huaijin will never ask for an official for you." ”

"Even I think it's a bit unbelievable. But on that day, everyone knew that the civil and military officials were in the court, and Lu Huaijin played a light song under pressure to canonize you as the head of the household. ”

"If you don't believe me, ask the others."

Fukang Huoran looked at Gu Qingyue and shook his head again and again: "No, how could I not believe the emperor?" ”

Gu Qingyue bowed slightly: "That's good." ”

"But......" Fukang's eyes dodged, "Why did Lu Huaijin do this?" ”

Gu Qingyue thought of Lu Huaijin's words that day, and her heart couldn't help but sink slightly.

She lowered her eyebrows lightly and whispered, "Maybe what Lu Huaijin thinks in her heart is different from us." He really just wanted a clear court. ”

Hearing this, Fukang tightened his eyebrows and looked at Gu Qingyue, his eyebrows dyed with a trace of sadness.

"Your Majesty." Hui'er took a piece of bloody silk and walked inside, "The cane has been punished for twenty, and Mrs. Taifu couldn't stand the punishment and fainted." This is the silk that was put on her body before the execution. ”

Gu Qingyue half-bowed her head, her fingertips against the handkerchief, and gently waved it twice in front of the tip of her nose.

Gu Qingyue raised her chin indifferently and said in a deep voice: "Even people and handkerchiefs will be sent to Taifu's Mansion together." Tell Taifu that today is the first time, and I will give him a little face. If there is a next time, don't blame me for being ruthless. ”

Hui'er agreed, and ordered the people outside to carry Mrs. Taifu away.

The sounds outside the courtyard finally died down, and the whole palace fell into an eerie silence.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Qingyue stretched her back and got up slowly: "It's not too early, I still have to deal with the twists and turns." ”

She had only walked a few steps, and Fukang behind her whispered, "Your Majesty." ”

Gu Qingyue paused, raised her eyebrows and looked at Fukang curiously.

"The silk I gave you that day...... Fukang bit his lip and was silent for a moment, and finally mustered up the courage to speak slowly, "The contents of the silk are not sorted out by me. ”

Gu Qingyue raised her eyebrows, and a trace of puzzlement flashed in her eyes: "It's not you?" That...... Who's that? That night in the study, didn't I hand over all the accounts of the household department to you? ”

Fukang lowered his head, his hands kept stirring in front of him, and his face was rarely a little cramped and embarrassed.

After a long time, he looked at Gu Qingyue carefully, with a slight urgency in his eyes: "That thing was given to me by Lu Huaijin." ”

Gu Qingyue raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of horror.

Her eyebrows tightened, and her voice trembled a little: 'You...... What did you say? ”

Fukang's head was buried lower, and his delicate and white face suddenly turned red into the color of pork liver.

His eyes dodged, his hands stirred uneasily in front of him, and a whimpering sound came from his throat.

After a while, Fukang plucked up his courage, settled his mind, and told Gu Qingyue what happened in the imperial study that night.

There was a buzzing sound in my ears, accompanied by a slight feeling of lightheadedness.

Gu Qingyue blinked her eyes and stared at Fukang in horror.

She couldn't believe her ears.

That night, Lu Huaijin pretended to be a little eunuch and secretly came to the palace, not only handed over the accounts of the transfer department that had been checked to Fukang, but even took himself away in front of Fukang!

That's too much information!

Suddenly, a picture flashed in front of Gu Qingyue.

That day in the study, she smelled the familiar fragrance on Lu Huaijin's body.

It turns out that it is not your own delusion!

The reason why she was so familiar with that smell was because she did smell it.

I smelled it the night before!

No, to be precise, I smelled it before the court.

The smell is still on my couch!

That night......

A terrifying thought flashed in Gu Qingyue's heart.

--Could it be, Lu Huaijin slept with him all night, right?

"Your Majesty?"

After Fukang finished speaking, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Gu Qingyue curiously.

Seeing that Gu Qingyue didn't speak, Fukang cautiously took a few steps forward: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”

Gu Qingyue suddenly came back to her senses, her red lips opened and closed, and she murmured a few times: "No...... It's okay. ”

She paused for a second, grabbed the corner of her skirt, and turned to walk out.

Gu Qingyue rushed out of the Fukang Palace all the way.

The multiple emotions in her heart were gathered in one place.

Breathing gradually becomes messy.

Hui'er trotted behind Gu Qingyue: "Your Majesty, you ...... Where are you going? ”

Suddenly, Gu Qingyue paused.

Hui'er was careless, and the whole person stumbled a few steps, and hit Gu Qingyue's back firmly.

She rubbed the tip of her aching nose, opened only one eye, raised her head, slightly tightened her eyebrows, and looked at Gu Qingyue carefully: "Your Majesty, what are you doing?" ”

Gu Qingyue narrowed her eyes slightly, approaching Hui'er step by step.

Hui'er was forced to retreat again and again, and she felt a little uneasy in her heart.

She drooped her head and whispered, "Emperor...... Your Majesty, what's wrong? ”

"You've been on an errand all these nights?"

Hui'er bowed slightly: "Yes." ”

"Why doesn't anyone rotate with you?"

Hui'er's eyes flashed with a little unease.

Her eyes dodged: "Slave maid...... Slave ......"

Seeing Hui'er's gaze, Gu Qingyue suddenly understood everything!

Just when she rushed out of the Fukang Palace, Gu Qingyue suddenly remembered something!

In the past few days, every morning she got up, she smelled the same fragrance on Lu Huaijin's body that day.

Gu Qingyue thought that Hui'er mixed the contents of the white jade bottle with the spices and burned them.

But if what Fukang said is true.

That night, the person who sent her back to the palace was Lu Huaijin, and Hui'er would definitely not be unaware.

But Hui'er didn't mention a word.

There is only one possibility - Hui'er was bought by Lu Huaijin!

If that's the case, it's likely that the smell you've been smelling these days isn't because of spices, but because of ......
