Chapter 323 Doubt
Gu Mingzhen bowed to the emperor first, and the emperor immediately asked him to waive this kind of prostration etiquette in the past.

But today, I don't know if the emperor is in a bad mood, or someone has said something small about himself in front of the emperor, Gu Mingzhen kneeled down on the ground paved with gold bricks, and the coldness went down to the kneecaps. Swishing through the gaps, there is not even a cushion.

Uneasy in his heart, he finished the salute in a proper manner, and looked up at the emperor.

But found that the whole body of the emperor was hidden in the backlight, unable to see his face clearly.Even if people want to figure it out, they can't start.

At first glance, Gu Mingzhen almost didn't recognize the half-bowed old eunuch beside the emperor.

After taking a closer look, I realized that it was Eunuch Wei.

When Eunuch Wei saw Gu Mingzhen, he was shocked at first, then his face was full of joy, and then his face was panicked, his lips trembled, as if he had been frightened by something.

Gu Mingzhen couldn't help but take a closer look at himself, the clothes were still the same clothes, not dirty, not sprinkled with tea, and not stuck to the mud on the feet...

This is thanks to the rough envoy servants in the palace, who scrubbed the gold brick floor clean, spotless, as shiny as a mirror.

Gu Mingzhen frowned, cast the peripheral vision from the corner of his eyes around, and found that there were no strange people around him.

The emperor asked Eunuch Wei to help him up, and he simply asked the doubts in his heart:

"Eunuch Wei, what's wrong with you all the time? This look doesn't look right, is your body still healthy?"

Eunuch Wei smiled wryly: "Old man, old man, it's useless!"

As he spoke, he staggered with garlic on the soles of his feet.

Gu Mingzhen hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, but Eunuch Wei kept his etiquette and hid in a panic, but his cuff brushed against Gu Mingzhen's hand, and a round object fell into Gu Mingzhen's palm.

Gu Mingzhen was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly put the thing in his palm, and continued to do the posture of supporting Eunuch Wei, Eunuch Wei stepped back a few steps, and completely avoided it:
"Forgive me, my lord. I'm afraid that this old slave will never be able to do serious business again."

While speaking, he retreated tremblingly.

If it wasn't for worrying that the emperor was still there, Gu Mingzhen couldn't help but chase after him and ask what happened to him.

The emperor snorted softly, and it sounded like thunder in Gu Mingzhen's ears—could it be that Eunuch Wei offended the emperor because of his errands?
At this time, the thick and heavy atmosphere made Gu Mingzhen feel like a small bug trapped in pine oil, no matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of the heaviness, his heart was stuffy, and he couldn't breathe angry.

The whole imperial study room was completely silent.

After another half hour, the emperor finally said, "You are really in love."

The voice was hoarse and vague, and Gu Mingzhen felt a little strange when he heard it.

He couldn't help but sink in his heart, but smiled on his face:
"Long Live Lord, Lao Wei has been loyal to you for so many years. There is no credit but hard work. If the body is really broken and can't serve in front of the imperial court, you might as well give him some rewards and let him go out of the palace to be raised."

The emperor said lightly: "You don't need to worry about this matter. I know it well."

Gu Mingzhen choked up for a moment, unable to continue talking.

The voice of this sentence was also not loud, a little vague, a little strange, Gu Mingzhen listened, and a thought popped up in his mind that made him stiff all over. Suspicion was like weeds growing wildly after the rain. I can't hold it down either.

The emperor raised his eyelids and glanced at Gu Mingzhen:
"You begged to see me in such a hurry, what's the matter? Why did you feel wronged and asked me to support you?"

Gu Mingzhen was taken aback, where did this come from?

The emperor's attitude towards him has always been very close and courteous, although when this one is in a bad mood, it is quite unpredictable...

But there has never been a situation like today's such a mindless, yin and yang weirdness.Plus, why is his voice so weird?
Gu Mingzhen turned his mind quickly while enduring his numbness, and dealt with it carefully:
"I don't have anything, I'm just wronged for the sake of Long Live Lord."

"Oh?"

"The emperor wants to expand the harem, and this is clearly a favor for the subordinates! Some foolish people who don't know what is good or bad, make up some nonsense, and ruin the reputation of the Long Live Lord! I am wronged for you!"

While Gu Mingzhen tried his best to overcome the urge to vomit, he tried his best to speak these nasty words very naturally, as if he was originally a flattering villain with no bottom line.

As soon as the words fell, Gu Mingzhen felt that the sharp gaze that made him feel uncomfortable had become much gentler.If he wasn't still in front of the imperial court, he really couldn't help but lift up his sleeves and wipe the sweat off his forehead.

……

After Gu Mingzhen came out of the palace, he went home, locked himself in his bedroom and strictly ordered no one to come near him, and he wanted to catch up on sleep.

Afterwards, he hid under the blanket and opened the little thing that Duke Wei gave him—it was a delicate white wax pill.

The small wax pills look the same as the pills used in daily life, but they are more delicate and small, and it is a breeze to stuff them into the purse.

If it is inconvenient to stuff it in your purse, hide it under your tongue, stuff it in your hair bun, or mix it into the medicine bottle you carry around, it is not difficult.

There was a small piece of paper hidden in the wax ball, and there were only a few words written on it, which were crooked, and it was impossible to tell if it was Eunuch Wei's own handwriting.

But that content just happened to meet the doubts in Gu Mingzhen's heart.

Eunuch Wei seemed to suspect that the emperor had been secretly replaced.Now this one, not the original one!
In fact, Gu Mingzhen also had this doubt in his heart, but he didn't dare to make such a firm judgment.Eunuch Wei, an old fellow, is too courageous!

There is just one thing that puzzled Gu Mingzhen—why Eunuch Wei asked himself to send a message to Xia Daohua, telling her to leave her alone and run away?

……

The spring in the capital is like a gentle hand brushing over the remaining snow, making weeping willows and winter jasmine sprout buds; the spring in Jixiang County is long overdue, and the ice hanging on the eaves has just begun to melt; In the spring of the county, it seems to have forgotten this chaotic place, and the strong north wind is still like a knife cutting the face.

Li Gan led his men, wearing a dog fur hat on one side, and an old sheepskin jacket on the other side, with the corners of the Beiman robes exposed from under the leather jacket, and buckskin boots filled with Ulagrass, no matter how you look at it He is a native of Bohai County mountain people.

They have already pretended to be mountain people selling mountain goods, and escaped from Bohai County calmly and dangerously.

As soon as the front foot left the city gate, the entire Bohai County was under martial law.

Xiao Lu Buhua was terribly annoyed because of what Li Gan and the others made a fuss about.

Although he knew that the martial law might not be able to force Li Gan and his group out, and they might be ridiculed face to face by their enemies, but they couldn't care less.
