Chapter 395 395. What a magic stick

Lao Mu returned home at dawn and told Gu Ling and Su Liang that there were no assassins in the palace last night.

Su Liang asked Lao Mu to rest.Cen Man went to the Min Mansion to monitor Min Rui again. Although it seemed that Min Rui was incapable of doing anything, his father-in-law might look for him again.

Gu Ling was at home, he and Su Liang cooked breakfast together.

After breakfast, Ji Xiaoshu said that he promised Mr. Qin to go to the Duke's mansion to climb trees today, but he also promised the emperor's uncle to play in the palace today, what should I do?
"You choose one, and I'll go for the other." Zheng'er said calmly.

Ji Xiaoshu immediately shook his head, "That's not okay, it will reveal my secrets. I think it's okay to go to Qin Taigong's place in the morning and go to the palace in the afternoon?"

"No." Gu Ling shook her head, and after handing Gu Xiaonuan to Su Liang, she stood up and picked up Ji Xiaoshu from the stool beside her and walked out.

Ji Xiaoshu swayed in Gu Ling's hand, "Master, help me, Master is going to throw me away!"

Zheng'er: ... Shouting for help while smiling all over the face, there is no one else.

Su Liang chuckled, "Your master brought you into the palace to play, don't run around, this is a secret operation."

Ji Xiaoshu's eyes brightened, and she was immediately thrown onto her back by Gu Ling.He hugged Gu Ling's neck with his small hands, and smiled, "Master, let's go! What is the secret mission? Are we going to assassinate the emperor's uncle? Could it be that he is a pious hypocrite? It's not appropriate to assassinate in broad daylight, right?"

Gu Ling patted Ji Xiaoshu's buttocks, "Quiet."

Ji Xiaoshu shouted, "Master, Master is beating someone! Sister, your father is beating me!"

The sound faded away quickly, and the surroundings became quiet.Su Liang lowered her head and saw Gu Xiaonuan smiling at her, her eyes narrowed.

Zheng'er leaned over, "Does my sister want to go out to play? I'll take her there."

Su Liang put Gu Xiaonuan in the stroller, and Zheng'er pushed her out.Now Zheng'er is not so keen on going out to play, he has been to all the places in the capital where he can play, including Qin Guogong's mansion and the imperial palace.Ji Xiaoshu's recreational activities are basically leftovers from serious play, so naturally it is impossible to compete with him.

When Su Liang was cleaning up the dishes by himself, he was thinking about how to interrogate Mrs. Min and Min Rou's mother and daughter.They were brought back last night and locked in a secret room in the underground labyrinth of the Yuanming Pavilion. They should not have woken up yet.

Gu Ling entered the palace again to see if the black mist between Duanmu Chen's brows was still there.The enemy is very strong, and its action plan cannot be fully deduced, so you need to be cautious.

……

Min Mansion.

Early in the morning, Old Shangshu Min received a report from his servants that Min Rou had disappeared.There were no traces of fighting in the room, and the bedding was neat, but some of Min Rou's clothes and the books that Old Shangshu Min gave her were gone.

Old Minister Min's heart skipped a beat immediately, and he hurried to Min Rui's place.

Min Rui looked down, because he didn't sleep much last night and was waiting for Mrs. Min to come back.According to the original plan, only Min Rou left, but Mrs. Min didn't see anyone until dawn, so Min Rui guessed that he was cheated.It is possible that Mrs. Min did not intend to leave, but He Wei insisted that both mother and daughter leave.It is also possible that Mrs. Min decided to take Min Rou away after meeting He Wei, but deliberately lied to Min Rui that she would come back.

Min Rui thought it was the former at one moment, but at the same time he was sure it was the latter, with mixed emotions.

Old Shangshu Min came in and saw that Min Rui was the only one in the room, his face immediately sank, "Where is Rou'er and her mother?"

Min Rui shook his head and smiled wryly, "I don't know."

Old Shangshu Min frowned fiercely, "How could you not know?"

"I went to bed early last night. I don't know when Madam disappeared." Min Rui sighed deeply, "I guess, maybe because of yesterday's gift of marriage, Madam decided to take Rou'er away. Her greatest wish in this life is to hope Rou'er lives a carefree life, and will marry someone who is in love with her in the future. Father should be very clear about what will happen when she enters the palace. I didn't mention that Qianqian knows martial arts, and Rou'er has also learned some."

Old Shangshu Min has calmed down, "She really didn't discuss it with you?"

Min Rui shook his head, "No. I'm afraid I will stop them. After all, they ran away. The emperor blamed it, and it was the Min family who suffered. If she asked me beforehand, I would definitely disagree, but when they left, I also let go In one breath. I am only this daughter, I hope father can understand my feelings. If the emperor blames me, I will bear all the responsibilities."

Old Shangshu Min shook his head, "This is the end of the matter, what are you talking about? I will enter the palace to plead guilty for my father."

Min Rui suddenly mentioned Mr. Qin, "Why don't you go and discuss with Uncle Qin to see if he can intercede? Back then, his only daughter was given a marriage and died in a foreign land. He should be able to understand my wife. move."

Old Shangshu Min frowned again when he heard Min Rui mentioning the old matter, and shook his head again after a moment of contemplation, "It's not right. This is a matter of the Min family. If we rashly bring in the in-laws, I'm afraid it will anger the emperor even more. It has already happened. Only if you sincerely plead guilty, can the emperor give you a light sentence. If there is any deceit and calculation, it will only get worse."

When Min Rui heard this, he wanted to get out of bed, "If you want to apologize, I should go. I am in better health and can go out."

Old Min Shangshu sighed again, "Alright, you can go with me."

When the Min family and his son were heading to the palace in a carriage, Gu Ling had already brought Ji Xiaoshu into the imperial study.

The two came secretly. Ji Xiaoshu didn't change his face today. When he saw Duanmu Chen, he lay on Gu Ling's back and waved happily, "Uncle Emperor, I'm coming!"

Duanmu Chen yawned halfway through his laugh.He thought there would be an assassination last night, so he didn't sleep much.

Ji Xiaoshu looked at the way Duanmuchen's lips were raised and yawned, and suddenly felt that this uncle had become a lot cuter and less pretentious.

Ji Xiaoshu went down to the ground, ran to the dragon chair, climbed up with hands and feet and sat down, picked up a booklet on the dragon table, but didn't open it, only looked at the embossed patterns on the booklet, touched it with her small hands, and said with a smile, "It's different from my father's. Our family's booklets are smaller."

Duanmuchen put his arms around Ji Xiaoshu, and laughed twice, "Which one is better looking?"

Ji Xiaoshu raised the folder in his hand, "The Emperor's Uncle's house is beautiful."

Although it was just a meaningless comparison and praise from the child's mouth to Duanmu Chen in the past, Duanmu Chen felt very happy at the moment. Even if Ji Xiaoshu sat on his dragon chair, he only thought that the child was very cute. something else.

"Your master has gone back, and you came here to see if I'm okay?" Duanmuchen said with a hint of teasing in his tone.It feels really good to be cared about, especially Gu Ling, who seems to care about no one except her family.

Gu Ling didn't answer Duanmuchen's question, his eyes were fixed on Duanmuchen's brow, and the black mist was still there.

Ordinarily, it would be better to continue to wait for the assassin tonight, but Gu Ling thought about what happened last night. Mrs. Min met her father outside the city. The old man did not accompany Mrs. Min back, nor did he send his granddaughter away. Obviously there was still something to do last night. Do it, and it's a matter of urgency.

Gu Ling didn't follow the old man, and didn't know what he did after last night, but if that man's task was to kill Duanmu Chen, he did something last night, but he didn't enter the palace to assassinate him, could it be that he planned to change it for something else? How to kill Duanmuchen?

To change the method... Gu Ling thinks it is very possible.After the failed assassination a few days ago, most of that group lost half, and the possibility of assassinating them in the same way is very small. What kind of method would that be?
Gu Ling was thinking, Duanmu Chen said to Ji Xiaoshu, "Your master is motionless, just like a statue."

Ji Xiaoshu asked solemnly, "Will it fall if you push it?"

Duanmu Chen patted Ji Xiaoshu on the shoulder, "Go and try pushing."

"Why doesn't the emperor uncle go? If I go, I will be beaten by the master. It's terrible." Ji Xiaoshu said that he was not fooled.

Duanmuchen coughed lightly, "If I go, I might get beaten."

"Wow! My master even dares to beat the emperor's uncle? How audacious! Then he must dare to beat my father too, so I look forward to it!" Ji Xiaoshu has long been familiar with cheating on his father.

Duanmu Chen laughed, expressing that he was also looking forward to it.

"Gu Ling, what are you thinking?" Duanmu Chen asked.

At this moment, Chang'an's report came from outside the door, "Your Majesty, the minister of the Ministry of Industry and his son are seeking an audience outside the palace."

Duanmu Chen was stunned for a moment, "What are they here for?"

Gu Ling said, "Min Rui's wife and daughter disappeared last night."

Duanmuchen frowned. He hadn't really taken a fancy to Min Rou in the first place. The business was important, and he wouldn't feel ashamed because Min Rou ran away. He just thought of the fact that Gu Ling had been staring at Min Rui and his wife, so he asked him, "What are you doing?" Let them run away without doing anything?"

Gu Ling shook her head, "I didn't run far, he was at my house."

The corners of Duanmu Chen's mouth twitched slightly, "Okay. Hurry up and interrogate, and see what you can ask."

"Min Rui thought they had left the capital." Gu Ling said again.

Duanmu Chen nodded, "They really wanted to run, but you stopped them halfway? Then I know what to do. The rest of the Min family are fine. How about putting Min Rui into the sky prison and asking to be executed at another time?"

Gu Ling shook her head, "Don't deal with Min Rui for the time being, let him go home." He Wei said last night that he would get rid of Min Rui, but he hasn't done anything yet, which means he can't get away from something he is doing.If Min Rui entered the sky prison, He Wei would inevitably hurt innocent people if he wanted to break into the sky prison and kill people.

"You have the final say." After Duanmu Chen blurted out, he felt that this should not be what he said to his courtiers when he was an emperor, but then he thought again, why use the "experience" of most of the emperors who did not die well in history to restrain him What about yourself?It doesn't make any sense to put the majesty of the emperor in front of Gu Ling, and it will look ridiculous.Gu Ling didn't regard him as the emperor, nor did she regard herself as the de facto emperor, she was just talking as a friend.

Duanmuchen said loudly to the outside, "Chang'an, let them come over in an hour."

Chang An took the order and left.

"You..." Gu Ling glanced at Duanmu Chen's eyebrows again.

"You what?" Ji Xiaoshu asked.

Gu Ling didn't answer, she got up and went to the window, opened the window, and saw that the sky was cloudy, there might be a thunderstorm today.The dark clouds in the sky and the black mist between Duanmuchen's brows intertwined together, giving Gu Ling a very bad feeling.

"You don't want to stay in the bedroom tonight." Gu Ling closed the window, turned around and said to Duanmu Chen.He was worried that if the group made another move, they might use the explosive weapon he had thought of at first, which would make things much easier.But for Duanmuchen, it is much more dangerous.

Duanmu Chen's face immediately turned serious, "I'm in danger tonight? More dangerous than last time?" He felt that hiding in a secret room, with a nail gun for self-defense, and many hidden guards to protect him, would make it difficult for the enemy to succeed.But Gu Ling thought for so long, asking him to change places tonight must be dangerous that he couldn't think of.

Gu Ling explained, "I suspect that one of those people has fought against me. He has a terrible weapon."

Duanmuchen was shocked when he heard the word "terrible" from Gu Ling for the first time.

"In short, don't stay in the bedroom tonight, and avoid staying in the imperial study during the day. It's best to go to a place that no one knows as soon as possible." Gu Ling said.

"You mean, I'll hide from now on?" Duanmu Chen felt very uneasy.

Gu Ling nodded, "Where there is a secret passage, go in and don't come out again."

Duanmu Chen understood, "Okay, I'll go back to the bedroom later, and then go to the Zangshu Pavilion through the secret passage."

It was also the first time that Gu Ling knew that there was a secret passage leading to the Library Pavilion in the emperor's bedroom. I don't know who dug it, but it's just useful.

Ji Xiaoshu looked surprised, "What about us?"

"You can go with Uncle." Duanmuchen took the initiative to invite Ji Xiaoshu.

Ji Xiaoshu immediately slid down from the dragon chair and ran towards Gu Ling, "Master, let's run, the palace is so dangerous!"

Duanmuchen: ...After all, it was a wrong payment...

But Gu Ling is going to leave.If the other party wanted to use explosives, staying by Duanmuchen's side would not only be useless, but also put himself in danger.

After Gu Ling took Ji Xiaoshu away in secret, Duanmuchen reviewed two more memorials, feeling really uneasy, and asked Chang'an to bring the Min family father and son over.

When Min Laoshangshu and Min Rui saw Duanmuchen, they felt that the atmosphere was tense, but they didn't know that Duanmuchen was not angry because Min Rou ran away, but worried about the danger that might come at any time.

Duanmu Chen interrupted Duanmu Chen just after Min Laoshangshu finished the draft, "I have a headache today, I don't want to hear these things, you go back."

Old Shangshu Min was stunned, and went back... Is there something wrong or is it all right?

"I already know about Min Aiqing's granddaughter." Duanmu Chen said with a cold face, "Min Rui, it's fine if your wife and daughter don't set foot in Qianguo again in this life, but if you let me know about them, I will never let you go." ! Back off!"

Min Rui was dumbfounded.Although he thought that Duanmu Chen would not really do anything to the Min family, but he didn't expect to let them go so easily?Especially him.He originally thought that Duanmuchen would suspect that he was an accomplice in the disappearance of Mrs. Min and Min Rou, and he had thought of how to explain it, but it was useless at all.

Old Minister Min pulled Min Rui who was in a daze, and the two of them bowed their heads and left after thanking the emperor.

After they left, Duanmuchen called Chang'an in, "I have a headache, I'm going back to the palace. You take these notebooks with you as well."

Chang'an responded, packed up the memorial, and followed Duanmuchen out of the imperial study and back to the bedroom.

Duanmuchen seldom spends the night with his concubines recently, and always lives in his bedroom.After he went in, he ordered no one to disturb him, and then he took Chang'an to Zangshu Pavilion through the secret passage.That place has always been a forbidden area, and few people can enter it. Su Liang used to go to Zangshu Pavilion to borrow books before, which was the privilege given by Duanmu Yi.

The reason why Duanmuchen didn't bring the queen mother and concubines with him was because the assassin obviously only aimed at him.Gu Ling didn't say that other people are in danger, which means that there is no need to think so much.

……

As soon as Gu Ling brought Ji Xiaoshu home, she heard thunder rumbling, and it was going to rain.

Ji Xiaoshu lay on Gu Ling's back, looked up at the sky, "Master, is the emperor's uncle alright?"

"I don't know." Gu Ling put Ji Xiaoshu down and entered Yuanming Pavilion.

Ji Xiaoshu hurriedly chased after him, "Master, I brought Master back!"

But there was no Su Liang on the first floor, nor on the second floor.

"It's going to rain, where did my wife and sister go?" Ji Xiaoshu turned to ask Gu Ling, but there was no one behind her.He rubbed his eyes, just now Gu Ling was clearly there.

"Could it be that master is really a fairy, and he can hide himself?" Ji Xiaoshu muttered, and ran downstairs again.

Zheng'er just pushed Gu Xiaonuan into the door, "Xiaoshu, you are back! It's going to rain outside, but my sister is not afraid of thunder at all, she is stronger than me. I was afraid of thunder before."

"Senior brother, where's the teacher's wife?" Ji Xiaoshu asked.

"Mistress has business to do, she's down there." Zheng'er pointed to the ground.

Ji Xiaoshu instantly understood, "Master must be going too, let's go too!"

"That won't work, we have to take care of my sister." Zheng'er looked serious.

Ji Xiaoshu lay beside the stroller and asked Gu Xiaonuan, "Sister, are you a fairy?"

Gu Xiaonuan stretched out her small hand and waved it with a smile, "Yeah!"

Ji Xiaoshu looked surprised, "Brother, you heard that my sister said she is a fairy!"

Zhenger: ...

……

In the secret room below, Su Liang sat opposite Min Rou, looking at her calmly.

Min Rou woke up for a while, Su Liang asked her a question, "Where is your home?"

But Min Rou didn't say a word, just looked at Su Liang coldly.

Su Liang looked indifferent, "Earlier, Gu Ling went to give your father an injection, and after she left, she went to see Grandpa Qin at the Duke's Mansion, but she accidentally found out that your mother sneaked into the Duke's Mansion secretly, not knowing what to do, and then she stared at him. She heard some things about her every move. The first thing is that your parents conspired to kill Grandpa Qin. "

Min Rou frowned when she heard this, "Impossible! You are spitting blood! You are talking nonsense without proof! We have no grievances or enmity, I don't know what is the purpose of you arresting me, but I don't believe a word of what you said! "

Su Liang nodded, "No surprise." After saying that, he stood up, "If you don't believe what I said, let your mother tell it herself."

When Min Rou heard Su Liang's words, her expression suddenly changed, "What do you mean?"

Su Liang didn't answer, and closed the door after going out. After a while, Min Rou heard her mother's voice from next door, "Su Liang? What are you doing? Why are you arresting me? Where's Rou'er?"

Min Rou suddenly felt a little uneasy, but it wasn't because she was worried about her own safety...

In the next room, Su Liang looked at Mrs. Min who was tied up, and said calmly, "Gu Ling accidentally discovered that you were going in and out of the Duke's mansion secretly, so she followed you and heard something. This is because you were arrested." reason."

Madam Min looked at Su Liang in disbelief, "You... I didn't do anything! I just didn't want my daughter to be one of the emperor's many women! What's wrong with that?"

"Indeed. You are just planning other things, and you haven't waited for the opportunity to start." Su Liang said, "You want to kill Mr. Qin, and based on this, I can kill you."

Mrs. Min's face was dark, wondering how much Su Liang and Gu Ling had overheard, she pursed her lips and remained silent.

"You didn't refute, is this an acquiescence?" Su Liang snorted.

In the next room, Min Rou's complexion suddenly turned pale.

The next moment, I heard Mrs. Min's angry voice, "Since you are monitoring me, you should know that it is not me who wants to kill the person surnamed Qin, but Min Rui, and I was forced by him! And I didn't do anything! Someone is responsible for this matter, you should kill him instead of trouble me!"

Min Rou seemed to have been beaten with a heavy stick. She was sitting upright with her back straight, but her shoulders suddenly collapsed...

On the other side, Gu Ling was about to enter the underground secret room of the Yuanming Pavilion, when she heard a burst of thunder, followed by another rumbling sound from the direction of the imperial palace.

Gu Ling closed the entrance of the secret room, went up to the roof of Yuanming Pavilion, and saw thick smoke billowing from the direction of the palace, his premonition came true, and the group directly used explosives to blow up Duanmu Chen this time.And with their strength, it is as easy as Gu Ling to sneak into the palace in broad daylight without being noticed.

So Gu Ling suspects that the gang did not use explosives for the first assassination, perhaps because they were confident in their strength and did not bring any explosives with them. This time they used explosives that were secretly made in the past few days after their last failure.In that case, things make sense.

The palace area is very large, judging from the sound and smoke that there was only one explosion, it should be Duanmuchen's bedroom.Gu Ling felt that Duanmu Chen had always been cautious, and should have avoided it after listening to his words, but she still decided to go to the palace to confirm.

But at this time in the palace, Duanmu Chen stood at the highest place of the library, staring dumbfounded at the thick smoke in the direction of the bedroom, holding the table with his hands, his face turned pale, and he sighed softly after a while, "Gu Ling, what a magic stick. "
