Crown Jewels

Chapter 103

In the depths of the green bamboo in sight, the figure swayed, wandering out of tune.

Song Yan frowned and stopped decisively.

He was covered by the darkness of the woods and hid behind a rockery that was as tall as a person.

The rocks were rugged and rough, Song Yan supported himself with his right palm, his eyes narrowed towards the source of the sound.

In the depths of the green bamboo, the dancer dressed in colorful silk had vigilant eyes, and said sharply to Jiang Shan who was approaching him every step of the way.

"Who is the son?"

"How can the inner courtyard of the deep palace allow you to be presumptuous!"

In the dark of night, Jiang Shan's muffled laughter came, quite unconcerned.

"Duan Siwu, right—"

"At the banquet just now, the dancer danced very well."

Under the dark night, Jiang Shan's previous words could barely be regarded as appreciation.

But what he said below decisively exposed his true nature.

The tone was rampant, with undisguised contempt and contempt.

"But, compared to the girl Sangsang in Pingkangfang——"

Jiang Shan clicked his tongue twice, dangling the jade pendant around his waist, admiring the shy and indignant face of the beauty in palace costume under the moonlight in a good mood.

Afterwards, his slender gaze was not concealed at all, with a desire that could not be concealed in the night, just like that, it fell on the woman's slender waist, as well as the looming chest and thighs that could not be covered by the transparent dance dress.

Jiang Shan rubbed the jade pendant around his waist in a good mood, enjoying the panic across the woman's face very much.

"However, I think——"

"Si Wu's dress should be more eye-catching."

As he said that, Jiang Shan stepped forward suddenly, and was about to reach out to lift the skirt under the female Si Wu's crotch.

A panicked voice came, carrying the anger and panic of a woman.

"stop!"

"I don't care who you are—"

"But you have to understand that you are in the palace now."

"Besides, I'm not some unidentified palace maid!"

"Si Wu is among the palace officials, and there are also official ranks from the seventh rank."

"If something happens to me, even if I'm shameless, I won't let it go, and I'll definitely hand you a note and sue you in Dali Temple."

"If you are sensible, then leave as soon as possible. I won't bother with you about what happened tonight—"

In the sweltering heat, Jiang Shan hummed and laughed, with an arrogant tone, as if he didn't take Duan Siwu's words to heart.

He directly grabbed the woman's wrist with his right hand, and pinched her chin with his left hand.

The tone in the night is thin and cool, like poisonous insects in July, cold and damp.

"A beauty like Si Wu—"

"It should be hurt by someone's crotch."

"Otherwise, with such a graceful figure, who will you show your coquettish debauchery to at the banquet?"

The sudden increased force instantly cut red marks on the woman's fair neck.

Duan Siwu only felt that her throat was short of breath, and she could only struggle subconsciously.

Behind the rockery and rocks, the young man's eyes were long.

Song Yan clasped the rockery wall with his right hand, and soon grasped a solid rock in his hand.

He fixed his eyes on the figure in the night, and struck at the right arm that was holding the woman in the depths of the green bamboo and causing trouble.

Sudden force, Jiang Shan groaned in pain.

Subconsciously, he let go of his right hand, covered his hand and jumped up without holding back the pain.

Duan Siwu gasped and coughed, and before Jiang Shan could respond, he stumbled and ran out of the bamboo forest.

……

Inside the Tai Chi Palace, it was still noisy and lively.

Gu Baozhu returned to his table and picked up the silver cup.

The wine liquid poured out and blurred the light purple halo, which was covered by the light yellow sleeves.

Gu Baozhu drank three cups in succession, and his thoughts gradually became clear.

What Song Yan just said is also correct.

Now the "father" in Prince Gong's mansion said that he couldn't come to the banquet in the palace because of illness.

Or, there are people in the palace whom he fears;

Or, it is a good day to celebrate with the sky like the Empress's birthday.

The real identity of that person, perhaps, must also attend this palace banquet.

If it's the former, who in the palace can make her so afraid?

This person, at least in the eyes of outsiders, knows Prince Gong very well, and he is not easy to fool.

Thinking about it this way, I'm afraid there is only Gu Jun, the female emperor on the Dragon Throne in the palace!
If it was the latter, he really appeared at this banquet with another identity.

So what she should do now is to quietly find out the person who is hiding in the dark!

What is false will never become true.

Even if he played the role of his father for decades after the real Gu Ye died.

Regardless of the possibility, she has to observe it herself.

In the Tai Chi Palace, today is extravagant and extravagant, which is different from usual.

Every ten meters, there are maids who place ice basins.

The cool air suppresses the heat of the scorching heat.

But Gu Baozhu still felt that her throat was extremely dry.

The wine was slightly rippling, and two or three drops of pearl tears fell, which were soon hidden in the calm silver cup.

Under the cover of the woman's long sleeves, no one noticed.

After adjusting his mood, Gu Baozhu got up decisively without hesitation.

The woman's gaze swept across the hall, and she took the lead in locking the seat at the square table with rank five officials and above, which was closer to Gu Jun's high platform.

In order not to be noticed by others, her actions must be reasonable.

The scope of her investigation this time can only be above the fifth rank.

The coolness from the densely placed ice basins is like a big impenetrable net.

Gu Baozhu's gaze swept across the crowd calmly, and he already had a bottom line in his heart.

At the banquet, the foul smell of liquor was choking.

Gu Baozhu took the lead in picking up the wine glass, and slowly came to the place closest to the empress in front of the high platform, where the Jin Yiwei commanded Shi Luyi at the first table.

Because he is a close minister of the emperor, Lu Yi is naturally sought after by officials.

But today, Lu Yi is still responsible for protecting the empress, so he never drank alcohol.

Seeing Gu Baozhu approaching, although Lu Yi was surprised, he also wanted it.

Thinking of the clues that he had asked Princess Nanping to go to Daxingshan Temple to obtain clues a few days ago, and how she cared about the results of the assassination investigation at the academy in Gu Jun's study today, Lu Yi took the initiative to chat with Gu Baozhu.

The surrounding guests were noisy, and occasionally someone looked over, only to see the two people chatting happily, and it was impossible to know the specific content.

Gu Baozhu turned the thin neck of the silver cup, listened carefully, and understood what Lu Yi was struggling with.

In the assassination back then, my aunt pressed for the result.

But back then, Deadpool was dead.

Although some have clues, there is no evidence.

Moreover, the only clue left was her subjective feelings when Gu Baozhu was held hostage.

However, if the results of the clues are reported, the direction will definitely arouse the anger of the emperor.

North!

It seems that it is a large geographical area.

But the strength that can really reach out to the ancient academy is no more than those two big tribes.

There is no need to investigate what happened next.

You only need to taste a product with a little keen political sense, and you can quickly determine your target.

- Turks.

What Lu Yi is struggling with is that although this matter points to Turks, there is no evidence after all.

If Gu Jun knew about it, she would definitely be afraid of Turks.

When the two countries get along with each other, even if the guns are misfired, the war will continue.

And just in case!In case the truth of the matter is contrary to Gu Baozhu's sense of smell that cannot be verified...

For the Yan State and the Turks, it will only increase the disaster.

And in this lawsuit, he, Lu Yi, is really responsible for the investigation!
In the future, if the truth is revealed to the world, it will be Lu Yi who will bear the responsibility and bear the infamy of the people!
"Uncle Lu—"

The woman's clear voice resounded in my ears, and it eased back to Lu Yi's thoughts.

Although Gu Baozhu understood Lu Yi's consideration, he couldn't agree with it.

As the saying goes, those who are in position have to plan their own affairs, whoever achieves great things, who can bear the lightest burden?
Gu Baozhu shook his head with a smile, and lightly raised his glass to Lu Yi.

"Uncle Lu, other things."

"I really don't understand, but Baozhu also understood a truth after entering the ancient academy for more than a month—"
