The traitor has a white moonlight

The first emperor's funeral and the new emperor's ascension to the throne, not only the Ministry of Rituals was busy without touching the ground, but the remaining five departments were too busy to follow suit.

Everyone tried their best to perform, intending to take this opportunity to catch the eyes of the new emperor, and from then on they rose steadily to the top.Only Gu Huaisheng still followed the schedule and should arrive late, leave early and leave early, lazy like a waste with no ambitions.

Of course, in the eyes of many people, he is not only like a waste, but also a waste.In this way, in the current fierce competition, he became the most pleasing and popular one.

Who told him not to fight or grab, he was still a well-connected person.

For this reason, no matter if they are sincere or not, anyone who sees them has to greet Mr. Gu warmly, but Gu Huaisheng still goes his own way, talking nonsense when he is happy, and ignoring answers when he is unhappy. As time goes by, no one catches up ignorantly Going to touch soft nails.

But among these people, Gao Chong was the only one who had this accident.

Ever since that person handed over a letter on his behalf, he and Gu Huaisheng have never had any contact with each other, and when they met each other, they would at most clasp their hands and nod.Neither treat each other coldly, nor flatter and flatter, but act like a cool breeze, doing things in our own way.

In this way, Gu Huaisheng, who originally wanted to learn how Jiang Taigong fished and waited for the fish to take the bait, found it more interesting.It doesn't matter, since the opponent doesn't bite the bait, then... take the initiative to attack.

"Lord Gao!" Seeing Gao Chong walk out of the gate of the official department, Gu Huaisheng hurriedly put down the official documents and got up to follow: "The imperial power is changing, and the old is waiting for the new. It is the time to show off your ambitions. How can Master Gao learn from me? Do you want to be late and leave early?"

"So it's Mr. Gu." Gao Chong stopped, turned his head to see Gu Huaisheng, who was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands indifferently, his attitude was completely different from that day.

"Hey!" Gu Huaisheng smiled cunningly: "My lord Gao forgets things so much. Didn't we have a good conversation two days ago, why is it so different today? Tell me, you were in a daze just now, did you not Remember who I am?"

"Mr. Gu really likes to joke." Gao Chong replied with a lot of words, and said that he did not give Gu Huaisheng a chance to say more, and said goodbye: "I have urgent matters, I need to take a step first, so I won't gossip with Mr. Gu, go ahead and leave .”

"Coincidentally." Seeing Gao Chong turned around and left, Gu Huaisheng immediately followed with a playful smile: "I also have something urgent to leave, so we happened to be together."

Gao Chong: "..."

Seeing that Gu Huaisheng didn't even sit in the carriage, but followed him quickly, Gao Chong was speechless, and stopped with a sigh.

"Master Gu doesn't have to be like this." Gao Chong said, "Just say what you want to say."

"It's not what I want to say." Gu Huaisheng smiled, and then stopped: "It's what I want to ask."

Faced with Gu Huaisheng's pointed words, Gao Chong's face did not change, but his ears twitched slightly.

The reaction was so subtle that those who were not careful could not notice it at all, but Gu Huaisheng had a panoramic view of it. The corner of his mouth slanted and smiled: "It seems that Mr. Gao is a little nervous?"

Gao Chong was not nervous at first, but when Gu Huaisheng asked him this question, he became nervous instead, with a guilty smile, "Why did Master Gu say that?"

Gu Huaisheng raised his finger to Gao Chong's ear: "Your ear is twitching, hey, look, it's moving again!"

Gao Chong... Gao Chong was called out, and he almost couldn't help raising his hand to touch his ears, and his face darkened immediately after realizing it: "It seems that Mr. Gu has nothing important to do, if you chase him out just to make fun of the lower official, then No excuses, farewell!"

"Don't worry!" Gu Huaisheng stretched out his hand and grabbed Gao Chong's arm. Don't look at him smiling in the spring breeze, his body is thin, his hands are slender, and he grabs people like touching them, but in fact they are like iron clamps. Gao Chong can't break free: " In fact, there is nothing important, that is, the six-petaled lotus, with superb brushwork and stunning eyes, is comparable to a masterpiece, so I really want to ask your nephew for advice, I wonder if Mr. Gao can read it as a colleague and introduce it for you two?"

"I have heard that Mr. Gu's hand painting is also superb. If you want to come up with a mere little-known pattern, it should be difficult for Mr. Gu." Gao Chong cupped his hands: "To be honest, this pattern is not from the hands of my virtuous nephew. , he was only entrusted by others, so..."

Gao Chong's point is over, but the unfinished words are self-evident.

Gu Huaisheng lowered his head and smiled, and when he raised it again, the smile remained the same: "It's Gu who made Mr. Gao difficult."

"Where is there?" Gao Chong said in an official tone: "I couldn't help Mr. Gu, I should be ashamed." Seeing Gu Huaisheng but smiling, Fang cupped his hands and saluted: "If Mr. Gu has nothing else to do, then what should I do?" I will take a step ahead as an official, and when I have time to spare, I will ask Mr. Gu to have a good talk."

This makes sense.

Gu Huaisheng frowned, and bowed back: "Master Gao, Gu can remember that, there is a new restaurant on Yanshi Street, and the owner's treasured Daughter Hong is definitely a must. If you have free time in another day, we will definitely Talk about it well, and you won’t return if you don’t get drunk.”

"It's easy to say." Gao Chong's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He was also speechless for Gu Huaisheng's shameless vigor of beating snakes with sticks. He didn't want to entangle him any longer. Hastily walked away.

Gu Huaisheng watched Gao Chong leave with heavy eyes, and only then did he look away when the other party disappeared from sight, straightened his clothes, turned and walked back.But before he could take a few steps, the coachman who had been paying attention to this side consciously ran over with his carriage.

"Master Sheng, are you going back now?" The carriage stopped beside Gu Huaisheng, and the driver jumped off the shaft and asked.

"Yeah." Gu Huaisheng got into the carriage and said, "Come back, tomorrow is the day of the late emperor's funeral, and all civil and military officials will be baptized and sent off to the imperial mausoleum. I have to go back to bed early, or I will be guilty of waking up late and delaying the time." .”

The coachman couldn't answer these words, he just nodded and bowed his head to wait on Gu Huaisheng, then sat back on the shaft of the car and drove back to the residence.

The coachman didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, but he was deeply puzzled. It's true that the late emperor's funeral was a big day, but the master's turbulent tone didn't sound like he was about to send a funeral, but more like a wedding?

It can be said that the driver's intuition is quite keen.

Gu Huaisheng was really in a good mood to send the funeral to the imperial mausoleum, not for anything else, but because he had to pass through Lincheng to go to the imperial mausoleum, and he could take the opportunity to visit Zhao Yue once he went there!Although the two had just met two days ago, they couldn't hold back the fact that they didn't see each other for three autumns. They really missed each other very much. Moreover, Zhao Yue was stationed in Lincheng when he came back. He listened to each other's dictation and never saw it with his own eyes. However, this heart is still not at ease.

But at the moment, Gu Huaisheng doesn't have so much thoughts on the joy of going to Lincheng. After only a moment, his thoughts settle down, and he starts to recall the conversation with Gao Chong before, including the other party's expression at that time. Open to chew, a little bit of careful thinking.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't know when the carriage stopped. It was only after the coachman yelled several times that he came back to his senses.

"Master Sheng!" Seeing that Gu Huaisheng's eyes were finally focused, the driver's high-pitched voice lowered: "Here we are."

Gu Huaisheng... Gu Huaisheng nodded, but sat still.First, maintaining a cross-legged movement for a long time caused leg numbness, and second, because I was too immersed, I was a little dazed when I was called suddenly.

"Master Sheng?" The coachman waited for quite a while without seeing Gu Huaisheng's movement, so he couldn't help reminding: "I'm home, are you...do you feel unwell?"

Hearing this, Gu Huaisheng shook his head, then got up and got out of the carriage.However, he staggered when he landed, which startled the driver, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him.

"Master Sheng, are you really alright?" The coachman didn't dare to stop, for fear that Gu Huaisheng would fall if he stopped.

"It's okay, it's just a numb leg." Gu Huaisheng put aside the driver's support, waved his hand to signal the driver to back down, collected himself, and then raised his hand to knock on the door, but he was surprised that no one opened the door early today, which has never happened before. passed.

What's even more strange is that Gu Huaisheng knocked on the door for a long time, but there was no movement inside.Just as he was frowning, the door suddenly opened.

"Master Sheng, are you back?" The porter sniffed, his eyes were so red that he didn't look directly at Gu Huaisheng, and his mood was abnormally low.

When Gu Huaisheng saw this, the bad feeling he had just suppressed reappeared. He turned his head and stared at the porter for a while, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Why did it take me a long time to open the door?"

"Master Sheng..." The concierge's nose was sour when asked, and when he spoke again, his voice was crying: "It's Uncle Yuan, Uncle Yuan..."

"What's wrong with Uncle Yuan?" Gu Huaisheng almost died of panic from the concierge's panting.

"Uncle Yuan..." The porter's voice suddenly rose, crying, "Uncle Yuan... has gone!"

"Go..." Gu Huaisheng was stunned for a moment before realizing what the concierge meant by going, and his expression changed immediately: "What's going on? When I went out in the morning, wasn't he still fine? Why did he suddenly... in the end what happened?"

As soon as Gu Huaisheng finished speaking, he saw Guo Ke'er approaching from a distance with red eyes, and immediately left the porter who couldn't understand anything, and strode towards Guo Ke'er.

"Where's Uncle Yuan?" Before he got close, Gu Huaisheng asked eagerly, "How did he get there?"

Guo Ke'er raised the back of his hand and wiped the corners of his eyes: "Uncle Yuan went there suddenly."

"What do you mean by disappearing suddenly?" Seeing that Guo Ke'er couldn't explain it like this, Gu Huaisheng sighed: "Forget it, where is the other person, take me there!"

"He just fell down suddenly while he was talking. He twitched twice and kicked his legs away." Guo Ke'er led the way and said, "Seeing that his face was blue and his nails were black and he seemed to be poisoned, everyone didn't dare to act rashly. Lying in the stone forest, just wait for the young master to come back to see it before making any plans."

Gu Huaisheng nodded, without saying a word, but took bigger steps.

When the master and servant rushed to the stone forest, a group of servants gathered there, discussing with red eyes and tears around Uncle Yuan's body.

"Master Sheng is back, get out of the way!"

When someone saw Gu Huaisheng, it was as if they saw the backbone, and with a loud shout, everyone consciously stepped out of the way.
