Gu Junci did not answer his words directly, but after cleaning up the residual poison of the wound for him, he cleaned the wound and applied medicine.

For a while, the house was very quiet, only the sound of candles beating could be heard.

After the wound was bandaged, Gu Junci also got up to leave, but just as he walked to the door, he heard Meng Chengye's voice from behind:

"What do you mean you're also from a place no one knows?"

Gu Junci shrugged and turned his head back: "It's a place where none of you have stopped. I could have lived my entire life without worrying about food and clothing, but I didn't want to come to this place. I have no relatives, no identity, no friends, but I have friends now."

Meng Chengye said: "Can you do it wholeheartedly for the people around you?"

Gu Junci thought for a while: "If you communicate with each other with your heart, you will naturally be able to exchange for someone who treats you wholeheartedly."

Meng Chengye looked at him for a long time, and at last he hugged Gu Junci to salute, and then watched him leave.

In the early morning of the next day, Gu Junci and Yan Huai left Poyun Villa with the evidence that the prefect of Jinzhou conspired with the rice merchants to resell the grain from the granary. However, according to their team officials, they were ambushed in the dense forest and were destroyed. The people from Yunshanzhuang caught him, and Yan Huai was injured again, so the people from the government didn't have any suspicions.

Therefore, the prefect of Jinzhou boldly sent a letter to Gu Junci and them. Soon, the King of Linyang and Huo Qingling rushed to Jinzhou with the people from the palace, preparing to destroy Poyun Villa in one fell swoop.

Waiting for Linyang Wang to come together, Gu Junci and Yan Huai handed over the evidence that the prefect of Jinzhou and the rice merchant conspired to resell the grain from the granary. The king of Linyang should send the magistrate and the rice merchant to prison. Take him back to Luoyang to await trial.

But this time the troops were sent out to destroy Poyun Villa, so after the magistrate and profiteers were dealt with, they sent troops to Poyun Villa.

It's just that the dense forest maze in front of the villa did indeed stop the army from outside the villa. In the end, King Linyang decided to go to Poyun Villa with a small group of troops by Gu Junci to respond.

Unexpectedly, at this time, the Poyun Villa was completely empty, and there was not a single pot of flowers left in the huge manor.

Linyang Wang, who was waiting in the barracks, was also very surprised by this situation. He always felt that the matter was a bit strange, but he couldn't find any evidence. But after thinking about it, the case of the granary in Jinzhou Prefecture has been solved, and it was stolen by the magistrate. Even if this case is perfectly resolved, they will leave camp and return to Beijing from now on.

At the junction of Jinzhou Prefecture and Zhuozhou, passers-by were sitting in a simple tea shed.

Gu Junci and Huo Qingling, who were the first to escort the prisoners back to Luoyang, naturally also settled here. The soldiers guarded the prison car vigilantly, and Gu Junci brought water to them to quench their thirst, and let them take turns to rest by the way.

When I returned to the tea shed, I happened to meet a man dressed as a Taoist priest. He was accompanied by a young man with a stern face. He wiped his forehead blackly smelling the camellia, which made his face even colder.

The Taoist priest looked at Gu Junci for a while, and then said: "Buddha of Infinite Life, the poor Taoist sees that the young master has a good-looking face. He should be a rich and noble son. Can you count it?"

Gu Junci nodded and smiled: "Okay, the Taoist priest will count, when will I be able to get promoted and make a fortune."

The Taoist priest smiled, but he didn't want Huo Qingling to come over, protect Gu Jun and say:

"You charlatans, don't you look at our identities before you cheat?"

Daoist priest suddenly realized, but still smiled and said: "Infinite Life Buddha, don't be upset, military master, we are just eating and drinking, just feel that we are destined to this young master, so we just have a few words with him."

Huo Qingling looked at them directly: "When you finish talking, go away."

After meeting with him, the Taoist priest made a special farewell to Gu Jun before turning around and leaving.

Meng Chengye clasped his fists at Gu Junci and said, "Farewell."

"Farewell." Gu Jun resigned in return, but Huo Qingling was stunned. After the Taoist priest and the young man in black walked away, Huo Qingling said:

"Do you know?"

Gu Junci's expression was natural, and he smiled and said: "I just met, it's all right, third brother, I'm done resting, let's go."

Huo Qingling looked at the backs of the two Taoist priests who were going away, and then got on the horse with Gu Junci, and escorted the prisoner back to Luoyang.

After handing over the case of reselling rice grains by the prefect of Jinzhou, Gu Junci and Huo Qingling returned to the Linyang Palace. Perhaps knowing that Gu Junci would come back today, Lu Qingxuan got up early in the morning and packed it up, and stayed in Linyang all the time. Yangwang Mansion.

It is very comfortable to accompany the princess to enjoy the flowers and feed the fish, and the princess doesn't think he is annoying, so she just listens to him talking about some rumors in the market, or some gossip and anecdotes.

It wasn't until Gu Jun resigned them to return to the mansion that Lu Qingxuan said goodbye to the princess, and followed Gu Jun to his yard.

"I heard that after Xie Suiyun refused the queen's marriage offer, he was beaten so badly by his father that he couldn't get out of bed for half a month. I heard you went to see it, is it true, did his father put Did he hit particularly badly?"

On the way to the backyard, Lu Qingxuan chatted endlessly about what happened in Luoyang City in the past month, until Xie Suiyun was mentioned, Gu Junci's face changed, and he stopped at the door without pushing the door.

Lu Qingxuan looked puzzled: "What's wrong? Did he really bully you?"

Gu Junci recalled what happened in the prime minister's mansion that day, Xie Suiyun's confession still rings in his ears until now.

Before that, because he was busy investigating the case, he ran around Jinzhou City and Poyun Villa every day, but he didn't remember anything. Now when he returns to Luoyang, listening to Lu Qingxuan's rambling, he will remember all the situations of that day .

... "My sweetheart is you, Gu Junci." ...

... "I don't need to be His Majesty's general, or take over Xie's family business, I don't even need to be named Xie, I just want you to be with me, do you dare?"...

Xie Suiyun's words repeatedly appeared in Gu Junci's mind, making him a little upset.

Lu Qingxuan looked at his sudden change of expression, and quickly said: "Even if he bullies you, you don't have to worry about it. It's not good for him to hurt him. Prime Minister Xie asked for an order to transfer him outside. He should be on the way to survey the canal at this moment. I won't be back for a while."

Gu Junci looked sideways at Lu Qingxuan, stared at him for a long time before saying: "Brother Lu, let me ask you, do men like men?"

Lu Qingxuan was taken aback, and immediately tightened his collar: "Brother Gu, why did you ask this suddenly? Could it be that Brother Gu also heard the story of the king who died in the previous dynasty?"

Gu Junci raised his eyebrows and opened the door: "What story?"

Lu Qingxuan followed Gu Junci and said seriously: "It is rumored that Chen Jin, the last monarch of the previous dynasty, liked men, but not all men liked him. He just liked the prostitute who followed him every day. It was like singing every night. , the queen was left out in the cold, so she poisoned that man, which made Chen Jin furious. He slapped the queen and wanted to abolish the queen. The queen's natal family quit and caused great chaos, and finally the dynasty collapsed .”

Gu Junci looked at him seriously: "Why are you full of stories?"

Lu Qingxuan put his hips on his hips a little proudly: "I'm a famous talent, I read a lot of books."

Gu Junci smiled, and reached out to touch the warm teapot. Presumably, the people in this house knew that they would be back today, so they specially prepared hot tea.

Lu Qingxuan turned Gu Junci's shoulder: "Why do you ask that, do you think Xie Suiyun likes you?"

Gu Junci had just drank water, but Lu Qingxuan's words made Gu Junci choke out a mouthful of hot tea, spraying it all over the table, and looked at Lu Qingxuan with a flushed face: "No...no."

Lu Qingxuan was skeptical: "Then why do you ask that? Could it be that the rumors are true? Xie Suiyun likes men, which is why he rejected the Empress's marriage proposal."

Gu Junci wiped his mouth: "Rumor."

"That's right, almost all the young masters in Luoyang City have heard of this." Lu Qingxuan nodded, "Brother Gu, do you know something?"

Gu Junci quickly shook his head: "I, I don't know, didn't I go to Jinzhou Mansion with Brother Twelve to investigate the robbery of the granary, how could I know, why don't you come back, or stay in the palace have dinner together?"

Lu Qingxuan looked at Gu Junci's concealed appearance, and concluded in his heart that he must have something to do with Xie Suiyun, but it's not easy to ask at the moment, so Lu Qingxuan didn't plan to say any more, what if Gu Junci was forced to beat him up, what should he do? but.

So Lu Qingxuan could only endure his curiosity, and didn't dare to ask at all.

But as soon as he sat down, the boy outside knocked on the door and brought a letter and a brocade box.

Gu Junci took the brocade box and the letter and looked at it carefully, wondering: "Who sent it? When did it come?"

The boy said: "It was sent by Lanling. It was delivered on the morning of June [-]th, and it was specified to be delivered to you, young master."

When Gu Junci heard it, he felt his heart beating a little faster, and the words Xiao Yuan said to him when he was at Hanyang Pass sounded inexplicably.

... "Every time you mention my age, you always treat me like a child, but I'm only nine months younger than you."...

With doubts, Gu Junci opened the envelope and took out the letterhead. On the neat letterpaper, Xiao Yuan's vigorous and powerful hands wrote extremely neatly and beautifully.

What was mentioned between the lines in the letter was that everything was fine for him in Lanling. Because Luoyang is far away from Lanling, it would always be a little late to inquire about some news. Finally, he mentioned Gu Junci’s birthday by the way, and sent him a special gift. A jade crown with bundles of hair.

——Brother Gu’s birthday gift, it’s really impolite not to give it to you in person, a jade crown to show your heart.

Gu Junci's heart was a little excited, and the brocade box in his hand felt heavy at the moment, and many doubts crept into his heart for a while, which made him doubtful.

Lu Qingxuan, who was on the side, saw Gu Junci's sudden change of expression, and hurriedly took the brocade box in his hand and opened it: "What is this gift, why are you so scared, my God, this jade crown with hair is so beautiful Yes, who sent it."

"Xiao Yuan." Gu Junci's tone was cold, causing Lu Qingxuan to look sideways.

"Why did Second Young Master Xiao send you this?"

Gu Junci met his eyes: "It's my birthday, he sent a gift."

Lu Qingxuan: "What, your birthday, why don't I know your birthday, why does Second Young Master Xiao know your birthday but I don't."

Gu Junci took out the jade crown from the brocade box and played with it in his hand, frowning, very puzzled: "That's right, you didn't even tell me about my birthday, how could he know about it?"

Lu Qingxuan's face darkened: "You are so mean, you didn't even tell me about your birthday."

Gu Junci reached out and patted his shoulder, and put the jade crown into the brocade box and put it away: "Okay, okay, it's not too late for me to tell you now, I will have dinner at the palace to celebrate my birthday .”

Lu Qingxuan stared at Gu Junci for a while, and finally grinned, expressing his agreement.

But there is still a doubt in Gu Junci's mind, even he himself forgot that June [-]th is his birthday, why would Xiao Yuan know?

Why exactly?
