Xiao Yuan looked sideways at Gu Junci, then nodded to adjust his mood, and then returned to Daiyue Town with a pair of people.

The emperor was naturally furious about the destruction of this ceremony, but in the end, because Miao Zhu was killed in front of his eyes, he also guessed that it was not that simple, and even guessed who did it.

Therefore, Prime Minister Xie was summoned that night, and after a long chat, Prime Minister Xie came out of the emperor's room.

After that, the punishment for Xiao Yuan and Gu Junci's ineffectiveness in supervising the ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was nothing more than a verbal scolding, and nothing happened afterwards.

In Daiyue Town at ten o'clock in the morning, it was the darkest time of night. Gu Junci went down the gate tower after inspecting it, but he didn't want to meet Xie Suiyun in the tea shed under the gate tower.

There was no one around him, and he was pouring tea by himself, and drinking it by himself, and when he saw Gu Jun reciprocating, he waved to him and signaled him to come over.

"You guessed it." Xie Suiyun said.

Gu Junci sat down beside him, and did not answer directly, but just poured a cup of hot tea: "There is no water, I will add some water."

Xie Suiyun grabbed Gu Junci who got up: "Don't you want to ask me?"

Gu Junci: "You have your reasons, after all he is your father, everything he arranges, you have no reason not to help him.

Xie Suiyun held Gu Junci's wrist, bowed his head for a while before saying: "Actually, it's me."

Gu Junci was stunned, he thought it would be Prime Minister Xie, but he didn't want to hear from Xie Suiyun that he did it.

Xie Suiyun leaned forward slightly, leaned on Gu Junci's arm, and said in a low voice:

"My second uncle is the one who loves me the most. Compared with my father, if the second uncle is here, he will definitely let me be with you. As long as it is something I like, he will find it for me."

Gu Junci's heartstrings twitched slightly, as if he understood who Xie Suiyun was referring to by the second uncle.

Xie Ziyin, the second master of Jingzhao Xie family, was the one who planned everything to frame the late prince.

"But my second uncle is dead," Xie Suiyun said, "Because of Xiao Boxu, my second uncle died without a whole body. All this is clearly not my second uncle's fault, it is clearly... But Xiao Boxu, it is because of the identity of that person , blame all the crimes on my second uncle, and let my second uncle bear that heinous crime for no reason."

Gu Junci: "Yes, the case of the crown prince first?"

Xie Suiyun raised his eyes to look at Gu Junci who had calm eyes, a little surprised: "They told you all this?"

"No," Gu Junci said, "Qingxuan told me."

Xie Suiyun took a deep breath and got up, let go of Gu Junci's wrist, turned his back to him and said, "I did this whole thing, you can tell Xiao Yuan, I won't blame you."

Gu Jun resigned: "I don't think you are the kind of person who would do such a thing, Xie Suiyun, you have never been interested in intrigue."

Xie Suiyun laughed at himself: "As long as I can avenge my second uncle, I can't use plots and tricks. Gu Junci, I'm really afraid, I'm really afraid that one day I will face you with swords and swords, and fight to the death."

Gu Junci: "Xie Suiyun, you know and understand a lot of things, why can't you choose the right path?"

Xie Suiyun sighed: "What is the right way, who is the right way, what I choose is the right way, Gu Junci, let's do it for myself."

After Xie Suiyun left these words inexplicably, he turned around and left the tea shed, walking towards Daiyue Hotel.

Gu Junci looked at his back, and felt a little disappointed for a moment. He always felt that Xie Suiyun was different tonight, as if he was determined to do something, which Gu Junci couldn't understand.

After the first ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven was destroyed, another auspicious day was chosen to hold another ceremony of offering sacrifices to heaven.

However, the sacrifice to heaven was held as scheduled because no one destroyed it. The scene was magnificent and prosperous, and it was completed as scheduled.

After the sacrifice to heaven was completed, the emperor climbed Mount Tai together with the prime minister, officials of the Ministry of Rites and Xiao Boxu, but because of the mountain's terrain, he turned back halfway.

Then I stayed in Daiyue Town for a few more days, and earned enough money to go to Langya, to meet the mistress of the Wang family, after the old lady, and to set a wedding date for Wang Funian and Xiao Shunhua, this is how Leading a group of people back to Luoyang, preparing for the day of going south by dragon boat.

After returning to Lanling, because the emperor forgave Gu Junci for taking Lu Qingxuan away, and revoked his arrest order, Gu Junci settled in Lanling and moved to another courtyard. Lu Qingxuan's sister's courtyard is next door.

In this way, Gu Junci can be regarded as having his own house to live in, and he is very at ease.

The weather in mid-June became more and more sweltering, and the wind blew again in the afternoon, and there was a torrential rain in an instant, and the air was full of muddy smell.

Gu Junci, who was at home leisurely, put a rocking chair in the gazebo, listening to the sound of rain, very comfortable.

"My lord, if you want to sleep, you might as well go to sleep in the house."

After Ah Chun brought the pastries to Gu Junci, seeing Gu Junci shaking the rocking chair with his eyes closed, he couldn't help feeling a little worried.

Gu Junci smiled and opened his eyes: "I just think the weather is good today, so I can take a nap, so I can do nothing, Ah Chun, by the way, what time will it be tomorrow?"

Seeing Gu Junci's questioning appearance, Ah Chun couldn't help laughing out, "There's no first day, it's fourteen tomorrow."

"June [-]th?" Gu Junci sat up straight in surprise.

Ah Chun was a little frightened, and hurriedly nodded in response: "Yes."

Gu Junci's mind was in a mess, he got up and entered the room to search in his small box, finally found the white jade hair crown that Xiao Yuan gave him last year at the bottom of the small box of the bronze mirror, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

Seeing that he was holding the hair crown, Ah Chun asked suspiciously: "My lord, you never use this hair crown, why are you looking for it today?"

Gu Junci caressed the hair crown: "This is a gift from the second son of Xiao, give me this hair crown tomorrow, and later, you can take the money and go to the restaurant in the city to arrange it, and send some good ones at noon tomorrow." Come here with the food and drink, I want to treat the Second Young Master to dinner."

Ah Chun: "Is there any important matter tomorrow, Master?"

Gu Junci nodded and smiled: "Well, last year, Second Young Master Xiao gave me a hair crown, wine, a whole sheep banquet, and clay dolls. I didn't have a serious thank you, so I will invite him to a banquet tomorrow. , you have to make arrangements."

Only then did Ah Chun nodded vigorously and said, "I know, little one."

After Gu Junci gave his orders, the wind and rain outside stopped, and he arranged for Ah Chun to go out, while he himself went to Liang Guogong's mansion.

Today's Liang Guogong's mansion seems to be different from usual. Gu Junci was led to the backyard by the servant, and asked involuntarily:

"Second Young Master, is there something important? If so, I'll come back tomorrow."

The young man said: "Young Master Gu, you don't need to be polite. Second Young Master told you that if Young Master Gu comes, you don't need to wait, just take it over. He will go over naturally after he finishes his work."

"Oh." Gu Jun resigned.

As soon as he passed through the gate of the courtyard, he saw Xiao Yu running towards him like a gust of wind, calling for Brother Junci, and after dismissing the servant by the way, he wrapped around Gu Junci's arm:

"Brother Junci, you haven't come to see me for a long time. My mother is preparing a wedding dress for my sister, arranging a fake, and my second brother has no time to accompany me. You have moved out of the house again. I am so bored. No one will accompany me to practice martial arts. .”

Xiao Yu pouted and acted coquettishly, Gu Junci's face showed doting:

"Aren't I here? Where's your second brother? What is he busy with? Isn't he Xiu Mu today?"

Xiao Yu hurriedly said seriously: "Oh, it's my father who received the report. Second Brother and Uncle Hao have all gone there. If you don't come, maybe Second Brother will come to find you soon."

"What happened?" Gu Jun asked.

Xiao Yu thought for a while: "I don't know either, you know, I never ask about these things."

Gu Junci nodded in response, and walked towards Xiao Yuan's yard while listening to Xiao Yu's nagging.

It is still the same courtyard, except for all the fresh green in summer and the lotus blooming in the pond, it is no different from before.

And because of Gu Junci's arrival, Xiao Yu insisted on pulling him to practice martial arts together, until Xiao Yuan stepped into the courtyard with a gloomy expression, they stopped and walked towards Xiao Yuan.

After seeing Gu Junci, Xiao Yuan's gloomy complexion changed for the better, with a smile on his face: "Why are you here? I was thinking of looking for you later."

"I invite you to drink." Gu Jun said with his hands on his hips, "Tomorrow is the fourteenth day. I didn't invite you to drink last year. I will make up for it this year."

Xiao Yuan nodded and smiled, but it was Xiao Yu who was beside him and said, "I'll go too. The [-]th is Brother Junci's birthday. I know, I've already prepared a present."

Gu Junci was a little surprised: "Of course you also want to come. As for the gift, it doesn't matter."

Xiao Yuan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying: "Ah Yu, I have something to discuss with Brother Junci, you go and play alone first."

Xiao Yu looked left and right, then nodded, and reluctantly left.

"What happened?" Gu Junci asked after seeing Xiao Yu leave.

Xiao Yuan sighed, walked towards the wooden bridge, and walked towards Tingfeng Xiaozhu by the pond: "It's the report from the front line, His Majesty's dragon boat has arrived in Jinling, and there are countless civilians who have been used along the way, and most of them have nothing. I can go home."

"How could this be?" Gu Junci was a little surprised.

"Right now, the people are full of grievances. Apart from the families that started the war, wars broke out in many places. Even the original anti-kings have begun to annex each other's power." Xiao Yuan's expression was serious, and even Gu Junci also saw the worry in his eyes.

Tingfeng Xiaozhu was built on the edge of the pond, close to Xiao Yuan's bedroom. There are various bookshelves on the first floor, and besides the bookshelves on the second floor, there is also a terrace with tea sets.

Right now, the two of them were sitting facing each other, feeling the cool breeze blowing in, and their hearts were extremely heavy.

Gu Junci asked: "Then what is the plan of the Duke?"

Xiao Yuan pondered for a while, then looked up at Gu Junci and said after a while: "My father... my father is His Majesty's cousin, and my grandmother and the Queen Mother are also siblings. At this time, my father didn't want to do this, but this It seems that the situation in the world cannot allow us to be neutral."
