Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

After sending Yu Liren away, Gu Yanshu looked at the time and found that it was almost time for Qin Lu to get up every day.

Without thinking about it, he directly picked up the autopsy report on the table and went to Qin Lu's room.

Thinking that Qin Lu might not have woken up yet, when he entered the door, Gu Yanshu deliberately lowered the movements of his hands, for fear of disturbing Qin Lu to rest.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the house and turned around, he caught a sober deer.

Immediately, Gu Yanshu's brows couldn't help but furrowed inward:

"You didn't rest?"

Qin Lu's current appearance, although he was only wearing a middle coat, had neat hair and clear eyes, he didn't look like someone who had just woken up.

"I……"

Qin Lu obviously did not expect that Gu Yanshu would come back at this time, and a trace of astonishment flashed across his face.

After hearing Gu Yanshu's question, he felt guilty again:

He really didn't rest just now.

Qin Lu didn't have the habit of taking a lunch break.

A few days ago, I took a lunch break on time, but because I was infected with smallpox, my body was too tired and I couldn't hold it.

But since his body gradually improved, Qin Lu's mental state became better day by day, and he never took a nap again.

Originally, Qin Lu wanted to tell the truth to Gu Yanshu, but who knew that just a few days ago, he was refuted by his own princess.

What did the doctor say, he is not in good health yet and needs a good rest.

He also said that Xingren's martial arts were not even as good as his, and he didn't get smallpox when he came to Yanglin County this time, but he was the only one who got it in such a huge Prince Li's Mansion, presumably it must be because he didn't have enough rest on weekdays.

He also asked Qin Lu to take advantage of this opportunity to develop the habit of taking a rest in the afternoon.

The meaning in those words was obviously telling Qin Lu that not only did he need a lunch break now, but he would recover later, and it was best to develop the habit of taking a lunch break.

After hearing Gu Yanshu's words, what else can Qin Lu say?

In the end, he could only swallow the words that came to his lips, thinking that after the imperial doctor announced that he had recovered, he would discuss it with his princess.

At that time, Qin Lu didn't expect that he would be caught by his princess because of this matter.

Gu Yanshu could see the guilty conscience in Qin Lu's eyes at a glance, what else didn't he understand?

Seeing the rare hesitation of his own deer, Gu Yanshu couldn't get angry, and finally he only sighed slightly, instead of understanding it:

"I know that my lord doesn't have the habit of taking a nap, but Doctor Yu just told me that my lord's health is badly damaged after this catastrophe, and I need to recuperate well. How can I rest assured that my lord is like this?"

If Gu Yanshu really scolded Qin Lu for the lunch break, Qin Lu would feel better.

But now hearing the unconcealable worry in Gu Yanshu's eyes, as well as the flash of exhaustion in his eyes, Qin Lu felt very blocked in his heart:

He doesn't have the habit of taking a lunch break, but he does have Ruan Ruan.

These days, in order to finish his work in Yizhou, to investigate the reason why he was infected with smallpox, and for the epidemic situation in Yanglin County, his family Ruanruan is busy almost every noon.

Not to mention it was noon, even at night, the time for his family to rest softly was an hour or two longer than usual.

But during this period of time, his family Ruanruan never complained a word in front of him, and only told him to rest on time, take good care of him, and strive for a speedy recovery.

As a result, he can't even fulfill Ruan Ruan's request...

Thinking of this, Qin Lu couldn't help showing a trace of annoyance on his face, and finally he simply looked at Gu Yanshu:

"I'm going to rest now, Ruan Ruan will accompany me?"

Gu Yanshu:? ? ?

What does this person do?

Why did he suddenly show such a milk dog expression?

You wake up, you are a wolf!

But the facts have proved that no one can resist the sudden coquettishness of a powerful person, and neither can Gu Yanshu.

In the end, Gu Yanshu followed Qin Lu's wishes and lay on the bed with him.

Seriously speaking, this is the first time since Gu Yanshu arrived in Yizhou that they slept together in the same bed.

At first, Gu Yanshu thought that Qin Lu was covered in injuries, and he was afraid that if he made a fuss at night and broke Qin Lu's wounds, it would be bad.

Qin Lu was also afraid that his appearance at the time would leave a bad impression on his own Ruanruan. In addition, he was really mentally ill at the time, so he couldn't take good care of his own Ruanruan.

In the end, the two of them chose to sleep in separate rooms very tacitly.

These days, Qin Lu's health is getting better day by day. Although Qin Lu's mind is somewhat active, Gu Yanshu is too busy to touch the ground, and has no time and energy to think about it.

Now the two felt the familiar temperature of each other, and they couldn't help but let out a sigh of satisfaction.

It's like two semicircles that have been missing each other for a long time, finally being fulfilled at this moment.

The workload of Gu Yanshu's writing days is already a bit beyond the standard, and in addition to coming all the way from the capital, he is worried about Qin Lu's health, and the thread in his heart is always a little tense.

Now falling into the embrace of familiarity, the habit made him relax involuntarily, and even the string in his heart gradually loosened.

Not long after, Gu Yanshu felt a wave of tiredness gradually creeping into his heart, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Perhaps tiredness does infect those around us.

Qin Lu, who originally felt very energetic, looked at his soft and quiet sleeping face and the tiredness between his brows that could not dissipate even though he was asleep, and felt a little drowsy.

In the end, Qin Lu directly embraced the person in his arms, and slowly closed his eyes.

When Gu Yanshu woke up again, it was already an hour later.

"woke up?"

Gu Yanshu, who had just woken up, was still a little confused. Hearing Qin Lu's voice beside him, he just nodded indiscriminately:

"Ah."

Seeing his own Ruan Ruan rubbing against the pillow with his eyes closed, Qin Lu only felt his heart tremble, and gently hugged him into his arms:

"Drink some water first."

"Um……"

Gu Yanshu closed his eyes and nodded slightly.

The next moment, he felt a chill coming from his lips. Following Qin Lu's movements, after drinking two sips of water, Gu Yanshu's thoughts finally came back, and he slowly opened his eyes.

Opening his eyes, he saw Qin Lu raising his hand and putting down his teacup.

"Are you sober now?"

Qin Lu almost didn't have to lower his head to imagine Ruan Ruan's current appearance at home.

This is almost a set procedure that Gu Yanshu has fixed after waking up.

Other than Qin Lu, no one knows that Her Royal Highness Princess Li, who is always vigorous and resolute in front of outsiders, actually gets out of bed a little every time she wakes up.

It would be better if someone handed Gu Yanshu a glass of water to moisten his throat, and he would wake up faster.

If not, Gu Yanshu would roll on the bed for a quarter of an hour before slowly getting up.

God knows what Qin Lu was in the first time he found out that Gu Yanshu had this problem.

At that time, Qin Lu's reaction was probably that he felt that his family was so soft and cute that people couldn't take care of themselves. In the end, he couldn't hold back, and made a fool of himself.

Now that Qin Lu saw the long-lost scene, he thought about it a little bit, but in the end he suppressed the throbbing in his heart.

Don't ask, if you don't dare.

Gu Yanshu knew that among the random imperial physicians this time, there was Zhou imperial physician who was very good at recuperating, and Qin Lu naturally also discovered this.

Not only that, Zhou Taiyi, who was familiar with the absurd past between King Li and Princess Li, couldn't help hinting to Qin Lu after he got better day by day.

It is said that the prince is still a little weak, in order not to leave sequelae in the future, in some respects, it is better to restrain himself.

After all, he believes that compared with momentary happiness, His Highness Li Wang still hopes to have a lifetime of happiness.

It has to be said that Zhou Taiyi's words were right in Qin Lu's arms, and directly made Qin Lu hold back the thoughts in his mind that did not conform to the core values ​​of socialism.

"Well, wake up."

Gu Yanshu didn't know that in such a short period of time from waking up to waking up, his little deer changed a different color.

He just got up and put on his clothes on his own, and when he looked up, he saw the autopsy report that he had placed on the table before taking a nap.

After thinking about it for a while, after making sure that there was nothing important in the afternoon, Gu Yanshu simply picked up the autopsy report and prepared to deliberate further.

But it is still the same sentence, there are specializations in the art industry.

Before that, Gu Yanshu was a very pure businessman. Even after experiencing the end times, he didn't see many normal corpses in his daily life.

In this regard, Gu Yanshu has no experience at all.

Even if he held the autopsy report in his hand and studied it carefully, Gu Yanshu didn't see a single reason.

After scrutinizing the information, Gu Yanshu's expression changed somewhat.

Qin Lu could almost see the irritability in his Ruanruan heart at a glance, and finally couldn't hold back and asked in a low voice:

"But what's the trouble?"

"Have you seen this document, my lord?"

Gu Yanshu looked up at Qin Lu, and raised the autopsy report in his hand.

"Not yet." Qin Lu shook his head slightly.

When Gu Yanshu just entered the door, Qin Lu had already seen the information in his hand.

But in Prince Li's mansion, Qin Lu had already formed a habit.

Although he and the concubine are said to be husband and wife, they should also leave a certain amount of space for each other.

Therefore, before Gu Yanshu woke up, Qin Lu didn't flip through it without authorization.

"Then look at it now, my lord."

Gu Yanshu reached out and handed the autopsy report to Qin Lu directly.

Fearing that Qin Lu would not know who Li Guihua was, Gu Yanshu did not forget to say a few words about the relationship between Li Guihua, Li Ergou and Li Mingpeng.

After finishing speaking, another sentence was added:

"I always feel that there is something wrong with it, but I can't see anything. Maybe the prince can see it?"

Like Gu Yanshu, before this, Qin Lu didn't have many chances to touch normal corpses.

He had indeed killed many people, but those soldiers who died on the battlefield never needed an autopsy, and no one would give Qin Lu an autopsy report.

Now that he suddenly saw Li Guihua's autopsy report, Qin Lu felt clueless:

"I don't see anything, why don't you ask Zhi Ge to bring Wu Zuo later, and the princess will ask again?"

"No need," Gu Yanshu waved his hand without thinking, "If Zuo Zuo could really see the problem, he must have already said it."

As far as the autopsy report is so detailed, even if you call him, you won't be able to find out anything new.

The autopsy report couldn't find any clues for a while, so Gu Yanshu could only put it aside temporarily.

He simply asked Qin Lu about another matter:

"I heard from Zhige that Li Mingpeng, who was in charge of building the dam in Yanglin County, was once a general under the prince?"

"That's right, Ben had already achieved the position of head of a thousand households, but later he had to step back because of an injury to his arm."

Qin Lu didn't even think about it, so he nodded slightly.

This time Qin Lu stayed in Yanglin County for a long time, and went there three or four times in total. Even if he had no impression of Li Mingpeng before, he is no stranger to this person now.

"What kind of person does the prince think this Li Mingpeng is?"

After Gu Yanshu finished asking, he realized that there was something wrong with his question.

After all, his little deer is not a person who is good at observing others.

Especially observe the character traits of others.

If he was asked to talk about the working ability of the people under his command, his Xiaolu might be able to say one, two, three.

But when it comes to being a human being, it may directly become a question and three questions.

Sure enough, Qin Lu's next answer did not meet Gu Yanshu's expectations at all, but the content of it surprised Gu Yanshu a little:

"Although he can't be said to be outstanding, he still has two points of ability. But it's not a pity to retire at the beginning. The head of a thousand households is already his limit."

"Then how did I hear that he is a talented general?"

These words even came from Zhi Ge's mouth.

From what Zhige said back then, Li Mingpeng's abilities seemed to be comparable to General Mei's.

Although the position of the head of a thousand households in the army is not low, it is definitely not high.

Now that General Mei has sat in the position of Hussar Grand Prix Army, and the official worships first-rank, how can Zhige say that a person who can stand shoulder to shoulder with General Mei can become the head of a thousand households in the mouth of his own Xiaolu?

"It can be regarded as a general, but compared with other generals, he is more reckless in his actions and does not care about the consequences."

When Qin Lu said this, there was a rare hint of disapproval in his tone.

Although Qin Lu knew that extraordinary times required extraordinary means.

Even with Qin Lu's temperament, when he faced Xi Rong, he had planned to sacrifice Mei Yanxi.

Therefore, Qin Lu is by no means a person who only cares about his reputation and refuses to use the so-called "low work" methods.

When necessary, after weighing the pros and cons, Qin Lu will also make a decision to only ask about the result, not the process.

But even such Qin Lu couldn't help frowning when Li Mingpeng was mentioned.

This made Gu Yanshu's heart a little more curious:

What did Li Mingpeng ever do to make his little deer look like this?

Gu Yanshu was curious, and Qin Lu naturally wouldn't hide it, so he revealed Li Mingpeng's style of doing things.

What Qin Lu just said about acting recklessly and not thinking about the consequences is not an exaggeration at all.

Among them, the one that impressed Qin Lu the most was their night attack.

At that time, after the enemy country occupied a city in Tianqi, they did not drive out all the people in its territory, but wanted to directly bring the city together with the people and take them all into their own pockets.

But they underestimated the sense of belonging of the Tianqi people to Tianqi. Even if they were occupied by the army of the enemy country for three years, the people in the city still wholeheartedly toward Tianqi.

After learning the news of the arrival of Qin Lu's army, he revealed all the clues in the city without any hesitation.

With these clues, Qin Lu can be said to be absolutely sure of that battle.

According to their plan at the time, in order to avoid the enemy army in the city using the people to vent their anger after the war, they set aside an hour for the people to evacuate through the secret passage dug in advance, and Tianqi's soldiers attacked the city again.

In the beginning, everything was no different from what Qin Lu had planned. The people in the city took advantage of the darkness and quietly evacuated from the city in an orderly manner.

But after the penultimate group of people evacuated, they encountered a problem:

That is, there is a village that is very close to the enemy camp. If they make abnormal noises, it may alarm the enemy troops in the city.

The most embarrassing thing is that in that village, almost all women and children move more slowly than men, and the chance of being discovered has increased a lot.

What Qin Lu meant was that they are the last batch of common people, so you might as well give it a try first, even if they are discovered, it won't have much impact.

Even fighting for it can save the people in the village.

Unexpectedly, the moment before his order was issued, Li Mingpeng's men rushed out directly, alarming the enemy troops in the city.

Later, the enemy found that except for the nearest village, the entire city had become an empty city. Frightened and angry, they sacrificed a whole village of women and children with knives.

At that time, Qin Lu was worried about the imminent battle, so he didn't say anything, but after the payment of the city, Qin Lu inevitably wanted to liquidate Li Mingpeng's original actions.

Unexpectedly, when faced with Qin Lu's accountability, Li Mingpeng insisted that he had misheard the order, and that the enemy forces in the city had changed at that time. In a hurry, he made the original move.

Even some people in the army proved to him that the enemy troops in the city had indeed changed, as if they had indeed spotted the figure of Tianqi soldiers.

The matter fell into a stalemate for a while. If so, Qin Lu would not be able to convict Li Mingpeng at all.

In the end, Qin Lu had no choice but to have someone beat him with thirty army sticks, and at the same time he was demoted two grades in a row.

Compared with the women and children in the village who were sacrificially sacrificed, this punishment is undoubtedly light.

However, with the help of other people's testimony and the logic of what Li Mingpeng said can be self-consistent, even though the order he gave at the beginning was wrong, it is not a crime that deserves death.

This is already the highest punishment that Qin Lu can give, if it is more severe, it may not be convincing.

But even if Li Mingpeng hadn't been killed at that time, it didn't affect Qin Lu's aversion to him.

Later, although Li Mingpeng relied on his own efforts to return to the position of head of a thousand households, judging from his military achievements, Li Mingpeng could even be promoted to a higher level, but Qin Lu did not agree.

So in the end, when Li Mingpeng left the army, he was only a head of a thousand households.

When he met Li Mingpeng again this time, Qin Lu noticed that there had been a lot of changes in him, and he let go of some prejudices against him.

However, this did not affect Qin Lu's tone of distaste for Li Mingpeng when he mentioned this matter.

Speaking of this, Qin Lu couldn't help but add another sentence:

"Moreover, this kind of thing seems to happen more than once. In the wars that Li Mingpeng has experienced, the number of civilian deaths is always higher."

It's okay to do it once or twice, but even a fool can see something strange in it three or four times.

Not to mention that Qin Lu's power of observation is sharper than that of ordinary people.

It's just one thing to know it in your heart, but it's another thing to find evidence.

Qin Lu also sent his subordinates to inquire about it, but every time Li Mingpeng could find a plausible reason to resolve the issue.

In the end, Qin Lu had no choice but to let Li Mingpeng go.

There was even a sentence that Qin Lu didn't say.

That is to say, the timing of Li Mingpeng's injury was too coincidental. If it was another month or two at night, even if Li Mingpeng was not injured, it was impossible for Qin Lu to let such a person stay in the army.

"Zhige didn't tell me about these things."

How did Gu Yanshu know that Li Mingpeng still had these problems?

Immediately, he also frowned, with a trace of disgust towards Li Mingpeng in his tone.

"Zhige probably doesn't know."

Qin Lu was not too surprised.

Li Mingpeng kept things secret at the beginning, but Qin Lu found out that there was no evidence, so he didn't say anything.

Later, people were sent to investigate, and Zhige and Xingren were also deliberately bypassed.

After all, everyone in the army knew that these two were Qin Lu's confidantes. If Zhi Ge and Xing Ren were to investigate this matter, it would inevitably arouse Li Mingpeng's vigilance, and it would not be beautiful to startle the snake in the end.

"Has the prince finally found out the reason?"

Gu Yanshu couldn't hold back, and asked in a low voice.

"No," Qin Lu shook his head slightly, and when he mentioned this, his tone was a little low, "This kind of thing still happened during the war, and it is too difficult to investigate."

There was a flash of clarity in Gu Yanshu's eyes:

That's right, how easy is it to investigate this kind of thing?

How can there be no reason not to die in a war?

It would be unjustifiable to punish the general because too many people died.

Seeing that his little deer looked ugly, Gu Yanshu immediately put away the thoughts in his heart:

"Is there anyone who doesn't get his shoes wet when he often walks by the river? Maybe this time, Zhi Ge can investigate some problems."

"My concubine is right." Hearing this, Qin Lu's complexion really improved a lot. "Would anyone walk by the river without getting his shoes wet? If he did, he would show his feet sooner or later!"

As soon as Qin Lu finished speaking, Gu Yanshu heard Yu Liren's voice outside the door:

"Your Highness, is it convenient for you to come in now?"
