Crown Jewels

Chapter 117 Explanation of Rolling and Turning

Along with it, her mood that had been falling so easily just now showed signs of three points again.

What does he mean by that?
Gu Baozhu always felt that when Song Yan mentioned the sour tooth-losing fruit, he seemed to be implying something.

Could it be that he felt that he was jealous of Song Yan by being like this now?
The moment this thought flashed through his mind, Gu Baozhu's right eyelid shrank uncontrollably.

Fortunately, soon!
This extremely absurd idea was quickly kicked out of Gu Baozhu's mind.

With that kind of instant reaction, even Gu Baozhu, who was so quick, never paid close attention to the true emotions in his heart.

"Um--"

Seeing that Gu Baozhu only hummed briefly, Song Yan had a good temper and never cared about her indifference, so he only opened his lips and continued.

"The county master—"

"About the coffin back then, Song has promised you something, and now I have some clues."

The young man's voice sounded again, and it was also an irrelevant issue.

This time, he successfully attracted Dao Gu Baozhu's attention.

In the same way, after making Gu Baozhu give up everything that happened just now, she had a prejudice against him in her heart.

When Gu Baozhu heard the word coffin, his thoughts became clear, and his eyebrows and eyes also calmed down.

This time, she never avoided Song Yan's sight.

"Song Yan, what do you mean?"

Seeing Gu Baozhu's unexpected reaction, Song Yan's lips curled up slightly.

When he raised his eyes, his expression was equally calm and serious.

Song Yan took out a piece of white rice paper from his bosom, and slowly spread it out in front of Gu Baozhu, revealing the scene rendered in thick ink with a brush.

After receiving Song Yan's hint, Gu Baozhu took the blueprint in his hand and observed it carefully.

It can be seen that the whole rice paper is roughly divided into five parts, and different scenes are outlined with thick ink lines.

Gu Baozhu observed for a while, pointed to the mountain in the middle, and asked uncertainly.

"Xiangji Mountain?"

At the beginning, the two were hiding in the coffin, and the place where "Prince Gong" once said that Gu Ye's coffin would be buried was the Xiangji Mountain.

Song Yan met Gu Baozhu's gaze, and he could understand it naturally. She only spoke half of what she said, but shook her head slightly at her.

"The county master—"

"This is just a part of this painting!"

"Outside the secret passage, 'Prince Gong' turned back three times." Although he never caught anyone, after he found someone hiding under the coffin, he would definitely be vigilant. "

"Song Yan thought that this time he would definitely not continue to bury the bones in Xiangji Mountain according to his original plan."

"If there is such an action, it must be the bait to lure the snake out of the hole."

"After analyzing these days, Song feels that the real burial place should be in the other four places on the rice paper."

When Gu Baozhu heard the words, he also felt that there was some truth in his heart.

But when she looked at the other four places on the rice paper again, she didn't recognize where it was.

All she could see were the surrounding peaks and mountains, and the lush green trees.

But such a place, the outskirts of Lin'an City, is full of such scenes.

"Song Yan—"

"How did you determine that he would choose these four locations?"

Gu Baozhu clutched the rice paper, with puzzlement and doubt in his eyes.

The girl's voice was sweet, and Song Yan couldn't hold back his thoughts. He returned to the dream of the young general wearing silver armor a few days ago, ordering the guards in his hands to dig up the coffin, and finally returned to the palace to return to life.

"Song Yan—"

Seeing that he did not reply for a long time, Gu Baozhu called his name silently to urge him.

Song Yan's thoughts came back, and when he looked at Gu Baozhu, his complexion had already recovered.

Facing her doubts, Song Yan couldn't tell her the truth.

He couldn't say that he always had dreams for no reason, and the content of the dreams related to everything about her.

He himself didn't understand the strange things.

If she really said that, she might feel that she was in a daze, right?
Song Yan lowered his eyes again, took a deep look at Gu Baozhu who only reached her shoulders, covered his lips with his hand and pretended to cough for a while, and then found an excuse at random to drop the topic.

In Gu Baozhu's mind, the meaningful look in Song Yan's eyes when he looked at him just now came to mind.

After careful inspection, she always felt that there was some deep meaning in it.

"So, how long will you—"

Facing Gu Baozhu's question, the young man raised his eyebrows, lowered his eyes and muttered for a while.

"Within half a month, at least I can give the princess a letter of approval."

During the exchange of words, the two have reached an agreement.

The rustling sunlight shone down, as if covered with golden spots, making the gold leaf on Gu Baozhu's forehead even more dazzling.

The woman's fair chin and eyebrows were soaked in the sunlight, which made her skin more porcelain-white, but Nai He looked at his eyebrows and eyes still coldly.

Gu Baozhu's fine hair fluttered from his temples, and when he had nothing to say, the atmosphere suddenly became stagnant again.

Song Yan coughed, and after seeing Gu Baozhu said something serious, he didn't really want to talk.

Fortunately, compared to before, her complexion is better, and her attitude is not as aggressive as before.

Observing quietly, Song Yan and Gu Baozhu's state at the moment came into his eyes, and after a long while of consideration, he pretended to cough,
"Just now... the Princess laughed."

"Her father—was a business partner with my father."

"Recently, they partnered to open a restaurant in Pingkangfang, and the relationship between the parents is still decent."

Song Yan pondered over the words, and after drawing pictures slowly, he finally said what he wanted to explain the most in his heart.

"The relationship between me and her, let alone familiarity—"

"What I said before is also true."

"Father cares about my studies. The relationship between the Song Mansion and the Qiu Mansion is entirely a business matter, and there is no other meaning."

There is no intention of messing up marriages or having children and in-laws.

"and--"

Song Yan pursed his lips, raised his eyes to look at Gu Baozhu, his eyes did not avoid, and his deep pupils suppressed some impenetrable emotions.

"Besides, she—is not Song's type!"

Suppressing the apprehension in his heart, Song Yan turned his eyes slightly, and without saying a word, his eyes were firmly locked on Gu Baozhu in front of him.

He just looked at her firmly, waiting for her reaction.

Gu Baozhu was slightly stunned, and Song Yan's words made her heart shrink back for no reason.

When she opened her mouth to speak, Gu Baozhu's lips trembled violently, causing her upper and lower teeth to stumble.

In this way, her aura was weakened by three points for no reason,,.

"You—what are you talking to me about?"

When she realized her abnormality, the corners of Gu Baozhu's lips stiffened slightly, and her face was somewhat uncomfortable.

"That's your business, you don't have to tell me—"

In Song Yan's line of sight, Gu Baozhu seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly turned around, leaving half of his shoulders slightly resisting.

Her tone was also a little cold, and when she raised her head again, she no longer looked uncomfortable just now.

Song Yan's fingers trembled violently, hiding the panic in his eyes, he pursed his lips to restrain himself, resisting the urge to come out completely, and the conversation turned again.

"Princess, in the Taiji Palace that day—"

"Song Yan has already investigated officials below the fifth rank."

"Sorry, maybe I was thinking too simply, and I haven't noticed anything unusual!"

Hearing him mention the matter of his banquet, Gu Baozhu's eyes flickered slightly.

She glanced at Song Yan, then shook her head not minding.

"Song Yan, it's not just you—"

"I didn't find anything abnormal that day..."

"That person is cunning, and you are here to help me."

"Left and right, since I have discovered the clues, there is still a chance in the future, and the truth will be revealed one day."

Song Yan nodded upon hearing this, and pulled his lips towards Gu Baozhu.

Neither of them mentioned that in Liangyi Hall, in memory... that night.
