Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

As it turned out, Qin Zhaoyue's ominous premonition was not groundless at all.

He just accompanied Qin Shu to see the emperor, sat in his mother's palace for a while, and talked to the prince's tutor about some Eastern Palace affairs. It took only three hours...

The contract is gone.

Logically, he had just put the piece of paper into the secret room of his private vault and should not have remembered this matter for a while, but the Prince's Tutor discussed the matter with him and quoted from the classics before concluding, saying: Use people as a mirror.

Use people as a mirror.

These words deeply awakened Qin Zhaoyue.

Who should he use as a mirror? Although the Taifu's intention was only on political affairs, he immediately thought of Qin Shu, who had just left and his family was stolen.

When Qin Zhaoyue returned to the East Palace, the first thing he did was to open the secret room and then the box, intending to take the contract with him in case...

late.

The deposit in the box was intact, but the deed was missing. Qin Zhaoyue was furious and summoned Jingcun and many guards of the East Palace to interrogate them carefully about who had approached the study during this period.

It turned out that apart from a few servants who did daily cleaning, no one else had been there, and when they were arrested and interrogated one by one, their testimonies all matched.

He wanted to conduct a thorough investigation, but if the many inconveniences in the Eastern Palace were exposed and publicized, he might attract the attention of the emperor and various forces.

Qin Zhaoyue didn't get any clues, but he knew that someone had unknowingly put their hand under his nose.

Who is it?

……

Here, Wu Yue in disguise handed a letter to Wu Yan who came to pick him up.

"Going well?" Wu Yan asked briefly.

"Yes." Wu Yue said, "I searched Qin Zhaoyue's secret room, but he didn't put the confidential documents in it. It may be because there are not many eyes in the palace."

"Where is the dungeon you mentioned in your letter?" Wu Yan asked.

"I have already written it clearly in the letter. However, it is best not to act rashly. There are many secret guards around the mansion, and most of Qin Zhaoyue's men are active nearby. With our current strength, it is difficult to sneak in." Wu Yue said in a calm voice.

"I understand. Be careful in Luoyang. The master has ordered your lives to come first." Wu Yan said, "Come back as soon as possible."

"Okay." Wu Yue's cold face seemed to soften a little.

Wu Yan jumped onto the horse, gently squeezed the horse's belly, and left the corner of the palace.

My moon also disappeared into the night.

……

Mid-Autumn Festival night.

Wu Yan arrived safely with the contract, and finally caught up with the Mid-Autumn Festival family dinner of Wu Men (part of it) and the new Gu family. The guests included Lu Junmei's family of four, He Gui, the children Chai Gui and Shi Sansiwu; Wu Men's four confidants, and a few people who were often away on business and whom Gu Yue had rarely seen -

Wu Lin, a man who seemed to have the same feeling as Wu Feng, the two of them looked extremely interesting together, making Gu Yue feel that Gu Xu was very foresighted in separating them.

Wushui is a rare female subordinate. Her every move is straightforward and natural, without any trace of the softness and shyness that ancient women often have. She is a true female hero.

Wu Yang, a tall, muscular man with a generous and open-minded personality, has thick and bushy eyebrows and is very outgoing. As soon as they met, he asked Gu Yue, who looked similar to him, to have a drink with him, but was stopped by Gu Xu.

And Wuguo, a somewhat introverted child-like person. After asking him, I found out that he was really only eleven years old. Is this considered child labor?

But after Wu Guo demonstrated his bone-shrinking skills and excellent acting skills, Gu Yue was left with only admiration for him.

Wuhua, also known as Li Taohua, did not come. Gu Xu gave the reason that his Nanfeng Pavilion also had to hold a Mid-Autumn Festival event and was not available, but Gu Yue did not think so. Wuhua's identity was sensitive, and although Gu Xu said that this person could be trusted, he could not ignore the inconsistencies in the original script.

The family dinner was held in the courtyard of the martial arts hall. The courtyard that Gu Yue rented was really small, and there were spies all around, so it was not as safe as the martial arts hall. The martial arts hall had several stoves that could be used, and the ingredients were complete. Everyone was busy all day, and all the dishes were served at nightfall.

Two large round tables were set up in the yard, and Gu Yue also bought ten jars of wine for everyone to drink happily.

The night was exceptionally clear, the universe was clear and deep, and a full moon was hanging in the sky.

The street across the wall was also very lively, with people talking and colorful lights spreading out like a galaxy. There were continuous colorful fireworks rising into the sky, forming flowers around the full moon, and the smoke was illuminated by the moonlight and soon dissipated.

Gu Xu picked up a chicken leg for Gu Yue.

Wu Feng was already drunk. Seeing this, he came over with his porcelain plate: "Master! I want some too——"

Wu Yun covered his mouth, which was greasy from chewing pork elbow, and dragged him to the children's table.

"Hey? Why are you pulling me?" Wu Feng opened his eyes wide, red from drinking too much, and hurried back. He Gui grabbed him and said, "Brother Feng, want to have a drink?"

"Okay! Have a drink!" Wu Feng was overjoyed. He hugged He Gui with one hand and gulped down the wine with the other. He Gui smiled and drank the bowl of water in his hand.

"You look so frail, but you can actually drink so much?" Wu Yang came over with the wine bowl.

A group of people had already gone to other tables. Chai Gui, Lu Dabao and Lu Erbao, who were full, dragged Wuguo to one side to play. The little boy was playing with mud, and the little girl was cooking with mud. Wuguo had a look of despair on his face: he was just young, but mentally much more mature than these little brats. They had stopped playing house a long time ago, okay!

Gu Yue didn't have a chance to finish his prepared mid-year summary speech. He smiled as he watched the group of people having a lively time, playing finger-guessing games, drinking, and chatting loudly. Gu Xu on the side drank two glasses - no one dared to force him to drink - and his cheeks were slightly red. When he turned around, he met his gaze.

Why are you looking at me? Gu Yue muttered to himself, but didn't ask.

There seems to be a little answer in my heart?

He leaned over to Gu Xu: "The moon is so round."

Gu Xu paused for a while without saying anything.

"I heard there's a thing." Gu Xu said carefully, "a kind of... fairy. When it sees the moon, it goes crazy and turns into a half-human, half-wolf appearance."

"Werewolf! I know. I even wrote about it... in the manuscript for Hang Dou." Gu Yue said with a smile, "Have you read what I wrote?"

"Well. Will the fairy return to its original appearance when it sees a full moon?" Gu Xu stretched out his hand, blocking the moonlight shining on Gu Yue's eyes, paused for a moment and then moved away.

The moonlight is too blazing? Gu Xu saw his pupils shrink slightly.

"Not all of them. Only werewolves transform, right?" Gu Yue narrowed his eyes. "There is a kind of...sparrow ghost. It sucks human blood and turns into ashes when it sees the sun."

"What else?" Gu Xu moved closer with interest, almost putting their foreheads together.

"Also, there's the bewitching demon! It can suck the essence of people, regardless of gender... and there's a red demon pattern on its belly." Gu Yue took the opportunity to ponder the next issue of the demon illustrations of the unsolved mysteries of Northern Qin.

"Isn't that a vixen?" Gu Xu pinched his ears.
