Gu Junci sat calmly beside Xiao Yuan, and then looked left and right at his clothes:

"It's good like this. No one knows that I'm back in the capital, let alone that I'm running across the roof in this outfit."

Xiao Yuan looked sideways at Gu Junci's reasonable appearance, and he only curled his lips slightly with a smile in his eyes: "Don't you blame me?"

Gu Junci glanced at him: "I never blamed you from the beginning to the end, you wrote yours, you drew yours, even you didn't think that I would come out of the book, no, I don't blame you."

"Then you..." Xiao Yuan looked at him, "Do you still love me?"

Gu Junci avoided his sight: "Be ashamed and panic, what do you love or not, why don't you first think about how you can get out of trouble now."

Xiao Yuan looked back at the calm water, and lifted the fishing rod. Gu Junci was surprised to find that the hook was straight.

Gu Junci: "What kind of fish are you catching? You can learn from Jiang Taigong."

Xiao Yuan put the fishhook into the pond again, suppressed his smile and said: "The queen mother refused to tell the truth until the end. It is not the prince and the concubine who are protecting her. What she is really protecting is her husband. My father is the king of that country, and he also protected my Xiao family's face."

Gu Junci sighed: "The Empress has good intentions, but you can't just sit and wait for death, who knows what Chen Jieyu said bad things about you in front of His Majesty, are you really willing to be confined in the mansion."

Xiao Yuan thought for a while, then took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Gu Junci: "Of course I won't sit still, whether they can trap me or not depends on what I want, I sent someone out to check on Ruxiang According to the record of entering the palace that day, it was found that the prince did enter the palace that day, accompanied by a servant, but when he left the palace, there was only the prince alone."

Gu Junci was puzzled: "And then?"

Xiao Yuan said: "I found out that on the second day, there was an unknown woman's corpse floating in Yuhe in the palace, about forty years old."

Gu Junci suddenly realized: "Could it be that this floating corpse is..."

Xiao Yuan nodded: "This floating corpse is the servant that the crown prince brought into the palace at that time, but she has no name in the palace, and everyone regards her as a thief who entered the palace and stole property. In the middle of the river, so I didn’t report it, but just threw it in the mass grave.”

Gu Junci: "Then... isn't the clue broken?"

After staring for a while, Xiao Yuan said, "That's not the case. The woman was originally serving in the East Palace. She had a son who was addicted to gambling. He originally owed a lot of money to the gambling shop, but he didn't expect to pay it all back one day. Later, he hid in the east. In Tibet, it was always said that someone was going to kill him, but he was saved by my people, and he is now in the house."

Gu Junci looked at Xiao Yuan in surprise, and suddenly felt that his fishing with a straight hook had a deep meaning, it seemed to be fishing, but it was not.

"Since everything has been found out, why don't you go to the palace to complain." Gu Junci said.

Xiao Yuan said: "Wait for an opportunity."

"what?"

"It will be July and a half in two days, and I have to ask Junci to help me with all of this." Xiao Yuan tilted his head, staring at Gu Junci calmly.

Gu Junci didn't even think about it, and nodded quickly.

Xiao Yuan curled his lips into a slight smile, and then said: "I haven't seen you for more than a year, do you miss me?"

Gu Junci hurriedly avoided his sight: "I'm walking all over the world, but I'm so chic and happy, I don't miss you."

"False words." Xiao Yuan said affirmatively, and Gu Junci did not refute.

Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand, grabbed Gu Junci's hand and interlocked his fingers tightly: "I've been waiting for you, I've been waiting, and I finally hoped for you to come back."

Gu Junci lowered his eyes and didn't speak, just smiled and held Xiao Yuan's palm: "Well, you've waited."

**

Hungry Ghost Festival in July and a half.

For the folks, this is also a time to worship ancestors, and there are taboos. No one can walk on the street at night, and it is easy to attract dirty things.

But there is no taboo for the palace, Gu Junci brought the items bought outside Hanyang Pass into the palace in the afternoon.

In the imperial garden, Xiao Boxu looked at these little things that Gu Jun gave away, and he was also very interested:

"In the morning, the crown prince said that Duke Hu had returned to the capital, and he still thought why he wouldn't come to the palace. Is this the only harvest Gu Qing has gained from traveling this year?"

Gu Jun said: "When I left Beijing, I went out of Chang'an City with light clothes under the pretext of recovering from illness, so I didn't bid farewell to His Majesty. However, I went north all the way, and even went for a stroll in Rongdi's Wangting Mulan Mansion. Quan'er, it is also thrilling to see the dispute over the position of the kings of Rong and Di."

Xiao Boxu looked at him with great interest, motioned him to sit down, and told him everything he had seen and heard along the way.

When Xiao Boxu was still in Lanling, being a Liang Guogong, he naturally had opportunities to travel, but he didn't want to enter Chang'an City this time, let alone Chang'an City, he had never even been out of the palace.

Therefore, knowing that Gu Junci has experienced so many things, I also want him to tell him everything in detail.

Including Xue Ye rescuing Prince Rongdi, relieving the crisis of Mulan Mansion, and the subsequent division of Rong and Di from East and West, all made Xiao Boxu feel thrilling, but very happy.

Of course, Gu Junci also did not fall into the clouds, went to Zhuozhou, or even went to Xingyang to attend the wedding banquet. When Xiao Boxu tested whether these old relatives of King Qing were unwilling, Gu Junci said:

"These brothers originally gathered together for the peace of the world. Now that the world is peaceful and there is no war, they return to the common people. With His Majesty's grace, they are allowed to keep their titles and live comfortably. They are also happy. Even I Look, I can't wait to open restaurants and private schools with them, and cultivate a group of pillars of the country for Your Majesty."

Xiao Boxu smiled and said: "Guo Hugong can't be so idle, you are my benefactor and our Xiao family's benefactor, you have to stay in the court and help us a lot."

"Thanks to your majesty's love, I will do my best to solve your majesty's worries and problems." Gu Junci stood up and bowed deeply. What he said were righteous words, but they were very useful to Xiao Boxu's ears.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xiao Boxu accepted many gifts from Gu Junci, and naturally left him in the palace for dinner to express his gratitude. After dinner, Gu Junci proposed to play chess with Xiao Boxu, so he stayed in the palace again He pulled the chessboard and asked Gu Junci to discuss two games with him.

When Gu Junci played chess with Xiao Yuan, he knew Xiao Yuan's superb chess skills, and even integrated the art of war with chess, which made Gu Junci miserable every time. Learned by hand.

Now playing chess with Xiao Boxu, Gu Junci is in control of the overall situation in his heart, he is quite sure of his advances and retreats, and even prolongs the time of playing chess, hiding it from Xiao Boxu's eyes.

Hearing the sound of clappers coming from outside the hall, and counting carefully that Haishi had passed, Gu Junci said:

"Your Majesty, why don't we keep it, and tomorrow I will enter the palace to play chess with you."

Xiao Boxu also breathed a sigh of relief, and put down the chess piece in his hand: "Okay, the court is over tomorrow, and you come to finish this game of chess with me."

Gu Junci stood up and saluted Xiao Boxu, counting the timing, just after leaving the Nuan Pavilion of the Wende Palace, he saw a palace lady come to invite Xiao Boxu in a panic, saying that Chen Jieyu was frightened and fainted at the moment In the hall, Xiao Boxu was invited to have a look.

Xiao Boxu was nervous about his favorite concubine, so he got up immediately to go, and almost forgot to put on his shoes, but luckily Gu Junci stopped him, and hurriedly said:

"Your Majesty, I think someone is playing tricks in the palace to frighten Empress Jieyu. How about this? I will go with Your Majesty to find out who is playing tricks."

Xiao Boxu didn't have time to think too much, and hurriedly took people to Zhaoyang Hall where Chen Jieyu lived.

The Zhaoyang Hall was brightly lit at the moment, and the servants were all kneeling outside the hall, only Chen Jieyu's voice could be heard wailing in the hall, and Gu Junci looked at Xiao Boxu in surprise, not knowing whether to approach or not.

Chen Jieyu said: "I am the imperial concubine, what are you? Come to this world, child, child, if you are His Majesty's seed, that's all right, but you are not... empress, empress, please forgive me, forgive me, you are all princes... all princes Instinctively, it was he who let the concubine tamper with your soup, empress... empress..."

Chen Jieyu repeated those words over and over again, but Xiao Boxu heard them clearly, his face turned ashen, then turned pale, and finally kicked open the palace door and rushed in furiously.

Crazy Chen Jieyu's hair was in a mess, and the pearl hairpin fell to the ground. Her eyes were full of tears. She should have looked pitiful and painful, but in Xiao Boxu's eyes, it was very glaring.

Seeing Xiao Boxu's arrival, Chen Jieyu quickly knelt down in front of him and hugged his thigh, crying:

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, tell them not to scream, stop screaming, the concubine can't help herself, it's the prince, the concubine seduced by the prince, it's him who said that the princess was indifferent to him and broke his heart , That's why he seduced the concubine, it was him, he was the one who made the concubine tamper with the queen's soup, he was the one who instigated it, your majesty, your majesty... You tell them not to scream, stop screaming..."

Chen Jieyu cried mournfully and hysterically, but Xiao Boxu had no compassion, because his mind was irritated and blinded by Chen Jieyu's words early in the morning.

He firmly grabbed Chen Jieyu's collar and dragged her up: "What did you say!"

Chen Jieyu sobbed: "It's all the prince, it's the prince... It was the prince who seduced the concubine, he killed the empress, it was him, and it was he who made the concubine slander King Qing for cheating on the concubine, King Qing... Qing The king knows the truth, he just scolded the concubine, he didn't make a move, it's all...all the prince."

Xiao Boxu threw her away with all his might, and said angrily, "Come on! Tell the prince to enter the palace!"

Gu Junci, who was guarding outside the palace, looked at each other with the other servants, especially Xiao Boxu's personal servant, who took a look at Gu Junci, and after receiving Xiao Boxu's order, he immediately turned around and left the palace, heading towards the East Palace in a panic. go.

Xiao Boxu came out from the hall, his face flushed red: "Take good care of this bitch, and no one is allowed to see her."

He raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Junci, then walked towards Wende Hall with a flick of his sleeves.

Gu Junci secretly poured out the turbidity in his chest, then turned around with a flick of his sleeves, and followed Xiao Boxu to Wende Hall, but just passing by the Imperial Garden, Xiao Boxu stopped and looked back at Gu Junci for a while, Then he said:

"Gu Qing, you can go out of the palace now, pass on my word of mouth, and let Xiao Yuan come to see me tomorrow morning, so you don't have to come."

Gu Junci bowed deeply to him, and then watched Xiao Boxu leave, the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, and then he quickened his pace of leaving the palace, and went straight to Prince Qing's mansion.
