Consort he can't

Gu Chen and Ban Scholar were sitting cross-legged facing each other in the room, eating sunflower seeds, groping for fish and fish in an aboveboard manner.

The half-scholar is actually a crazy person. He has read a lot of books, and if you talk to him, he can tell the rumors and anecdotes counting back 500 years.

Gu Chen had something on his mind, so he only nodded and cheered on one side.

Just ran around for a few more days, and there was no progress in the relevant information. He almost turned the case file upside down, but still didn't see the record of Concubine Lan Gui.

He almost wanted to measure the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, wondering if the national teacher had secretly hidden the dossier.

The half-scholar probably saw that his colleagues were absent-minded, and when he talked about the late emperor from front to back, he sighed first.

"Are you going to the storage book pavilion to find the records of Concubine Lan Gui?"

Gu Chen's ears perked up instantly when he heard these words, "How do you know?"

"I'm crazy, not stupid?" The half-scholar rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Besides, what kind of idea you have is almost written on your face. You go in happily all day long, and come out dejected. Do you know we're all starting to bet on when you'll find out?"

"What—gathering the crowd to open the market is what you Sitianjian should do. Aren't you afraid that the Master of the State Teacher will punish you?"

The half-scholar twitched his lips: "Master National Teacher knows, besides, we and Master National Teacher..."

The last words he said were moaning, but Gu Chen didn't hear clearly, and when he wanted to ask again, he refused to say anything.

After a while, Gu Chen looked at him, and suddenly said: "Since you know that I'm looking for Concubine Lan's record, then you also know where the record is?"

"I don't know, I don't know! Don't ask me!" The half-scholar heard him ask, shaking his head like a rattle, "How do I know such an important thing——"

Looking at his expression, Gu Chen knew that his guess was almost inseparable: "You must know!"

Half-scholar: "I don't know!"

"Your expression, you must know it!"

"I really do not know--"

The two of them stared at each other for a long while, Gu Chen took advantage of him not paying attention, and suddenly reached out and snatched the melon seed bag on the table, and put it into his arms like a child.

Gu Chen: "Do you know this time?"

The half-scholar looked at death like home: "No, I know, I know——"

"That's such a pity, there won't be these small snacks in the future, such as melon seeds, peanuts and candied fried chestnuts..." Gu Chen squinted at his expression, pretending to regret: "What are Xianlaiju's sauced duck, roast chicken, stewed chicken, etc.?" Pig’s trotters—hey, there are quite a few when you think about it... Really don’t know?”

"I don't know—you put it down!" Seeing that Gu Chen got up and was about to go out, and he didn't intend to leave a melon seed for him, the half-scholar couldn't sit still, "Put it down, put it down!"

Gu Chen shook the bag of melon seeds, "So you know?"

"I know..." The half-scholar wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Where is that?"

"I only know that it is kept by the Master of the State Teacher himself. I really don't know anything else. You know, I have no right to ask!"

"Really?"

The half-scholar nodded frantically: "Really, really!"

The half-scholar talked for a long time and also said that he only knew that Concubine Lan Gui's original name was Lan Pei, and she was a member of the Sitianjian. She didn't know how she entered the palace later, or what her astrology was when she was pregnant.

Saying it is the same as not saying it.

Seeing the half-scholar holding the melon seeds he got in his arms like protecting food, Gu Chen smiled and scolded: "Are you just planning to cheat back this bag of melon seeds?"

That's what I said, but in fact, Gu Chen also knew in his heart that what the half-scholar said was almost the truth. Concubine Lan Gui is a member of the Sitian Supervisor. If such a thing happened, it would be considered a scandal for the temperament of the national teacher. Besides, the less people know about the secrets of the royal family, the better, and everyone in Si Tianjian probably really doesn't know.

Gu Chen played around with half-scholars and left Si Tianjian.

Along the way, he was busy thinking about how to lead the conversation to the national teacher, and then have a good chat and inquire about the news.When a person was walking, his mind had already gone to nowhere, and he bumped into a passerby.

He knew that he bumped into someone, so he apologized repeatedly: "Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

Fortunately, the person who was hit had a good temper, he didn't say anything angry, and explained that he was also watching the fun, so he didn't see anyone coming.

11

Only then did Gu Chen see a lot of people surrounded on the street, talking to each other, making it as noisy as a vegetable market.

He touched his forehead, and while rushing back, he thought to himself, whose house has something exciting to see?

12

Gu Chen never expected that when he walked to the gate of the Princess Mansion, he would see a circle of unfamiliar guards at the gate.

Gu Chen was shocked.

What the hell is watching their family's excitement?

13

He didn't even bother to enter the mansion, so he asked a guard nearby: "Brother, what happened to the princess mansion?"

"His Highness was assassinated on the road today—"

Gu Chen's mind buzzed, and he wanted to rush in without saying anything, but was stopped by the guards.

If it wasn't for Xiao Wei who heard the news and came out to save the scene, it is estimated that the Princess Mansion would have one more consort besides the assassinated princess.

14

After entering the door, Gu Chen went straight to Li Jingzhao's room.

Xiao Wei did not stop him.

Because the son-in-law's eyes were full of murderous intent, as if he was looking for someone to sacrifice to heaven, he didn't want to be in trouble.

15

The imperial doctor hadn't left yet, besides Sixi, there were a few unknown people standing in the room, all wearing palace attire.

No one spoke, and the room was silent.

Li Jingzhao was lying on the bed, the bed curtains were lowered layer by layer, he couldn't see clearly, and it was hard for him to lift it directly if there were outsiders, so he could only stand there and worry.

The imperial doctor was so old, he kept stroking his beard when he felt his pulse, Lao Gao was frowning, his heart pounded when he saw him, and he couldn't wait to let the imperial doctor pluck out his beard.

As soon as he let go, Gu Chen rushed forward two steps, almost bumping into each other: "Princess, how is the princess?"

The imperial physician gave him a meaningful look, shook his head without speaking, and continued to stroke his beard.

Before he could react, he was invited by Sixi to write the prescription.

Gu Chen was stunned, and it took a while before he remembered to lift the bed curtain.

16

Li Jingzhao's face was pale, and there was blood on his back that hadn't been cleaned up. The previous wound had opened for some reason, and he looked bloody and bloody. He was shocked to see it.

When Gu Chen saw him make himself like this, an unknown fire rose from his heart and went straight to the top of the sky, and the words of cursing were about to rush out.

But before he opened his mouth, he saw Li Jingzhao who was lying on the hospital bed blinking at him very secretly.

"I am fine."

17

The imperial doctor hasn't left yet, so this sentence is Li Jingzhaobi's mouth shape.

After finishing speaking, he gave Gu Chen a smug smile, like a fox that has succeeded in tricking.

18

It's okay if he didn't say that, but when he said it, Gu Chen felt that he was going to be mad at him, and his breathing was several times faster.

He had the nerve to wink with me!

After making himself like this, he even had the nerve to wink at me to reassure me.

Where does this guy have the confidence to think that I won't be angry when I see him make himself like this?

The author says:

Gu Chen: Yo, who's watching it again?

after awhile

"My house!!!"
