Crown Jewels

Chapter 72 Preparation of the Orb

"Hey! Brother."

"Song Yan—"

Fu Sinian looked up at the door frame, and couldn't help but increase his voice.

"I said, what are you doing at the door?"

Seeing the female scholar in indigo go further and further away, Fu Sinian stomped anxiously.

Naturally looking at Song Yan who was blocking the door frame, he felt a little angry.

But when he caught sight of the door again, Shen Lanqing, who had a demeanor in the distant mountains, stopped, and stopped to talk to Gu Baozhu under the tree. Fu Sinian's joy returned to his face, and he immediately said eagerly to Song Yan.

"Brother, give way!"

"I have something to ask Miss Shen—"

Seeing his anxious appearance, Song Yan mercifully made way for him, and walked slowly behind.

As soon as Fu Sinian stepped out of the door frame, he happened to see Gu Baozhu and Shen Lanqing looking up at him.

He subconsciously grinned at the corners of his lips, waved his hand at the two of them familiarly, and then ran towards them like the wind was blowing under his feet.

However, when Fu Sinian approached, Shen Lanqing nodded at Gu Baozhu, then turned and left gracefully.

Just as he was about to catch up, he was blocked by Gu Baozhu just in front of him.

Seeing the indigo blue figure drifting away, Fu Sinian squeezed the bamboo dragonfly in his hand, showing a bit of anxiety on his face.

But facing the princess Nanping in front of him, he couldn't be as indifferent to etiquette as he was with Song Yan.

Seeing that Shen Lanqing's figure was about to completely disappear around the corner, Fu Sinian panicked and pointed directly behind him.

"Princess, what's next for Song Yan?"

"If you have anything to do, just go and find him."

Gu Baozhu's eyelashes trembled slightly, his gaze swept over the gadget in Fu Sinian's hand, and he thought of his appearance when Cai Lanqing left just now.

Suspicious and clear in my heart, I simply said directly.

"Fu Sinian—"

"I'm here to find you."

"But..."

"I can consider it, and help you bring what you have to Lan Qing."

As he spoke, Gu Baozhu raised his chin, his eyes fell on the bamboo dragonfly in his hand, and he motioned towards Fu Sinian.

"Um--"

Fu Sinian was slightly surprised, he really came to find him?
Sensing Gu Baozhu's gaze, Fu Sinian hurriedly tucked the bamboo dragonfly back into his sleeve, with a bit of embarrassment on his face, he politely refused.

"It's not a big deal—"

"I'll send it over by myself, so I won't bother the princess."

Saying that, Fu Sinian glanced at Song Yan behind him, his eyes were a little incredulous, pointed at himself, and confirmed again.

"Princess, did you really come to see me?"

With Fu Sinian's appearance, Gu Baozhu seemed inexplicably stupid.

Unable to resist rolling her eyes, she handed the prepared food box to Fu Sinian, and got straight to the point.

"I remember--"

"In recent days, after school, you often go to the Jinyiwei government office, right?"

"I came to you because I wanted you to bring me something for Jin Yiwei to command Master Lu Yi."

At the mention of the word Lu Yi, Fu Sinian couldn't help gnashing his teeth.

He has indeed been doing odd jobs for Lu Yi in the Jinyiwei government office these two days!
Humph--

On the surface, it is said that he is training himself, but now he is squeezed, even the number of encounters with Miss Shen in the academy is less.

Make complaints about complaints, and get down to business.

Fu Sinian glanced at the food box that Gu Baozhu handed over, and immediately took it.

Knowing the rules in the government office, eating and drinking must go through interrogation.

Gu Baozhu didn't make things difficult for Fu Sinian, and took the initiative to lift the lid of the food box, revealing the white glutinous milk yam cake inside, which was steaming.

Fu Sinian glanced at it briefly, but he understood it in his heart and only agreed enthusiastically.

"Princess, don't worry—"

"Fu Mou promises to deliver the things to Mr. Lu himself."

"Besides these, is there anything else the Princess can tell Si Nian to help?"

Gu Baozhu nodded gratefully. "Well, thank you for your hard work."

After deliberating for a while, he finally pondered.

"You just say—"

"Commander Shi-sama has worked hard to investigate the case recently. If you don't have any clues, you might as well sit down and have some snacks..."

When Fu Sinian heard this, his eyes flickered slightly.

He knew very well what Jin Yiwei and his gang were investigating recently, it was when the empress came to the academy to be assassinated.

The men in black who were captured were all dead men without any marks on their bodies.

The clues here are considered to be broken, but how can such a major event as the assassination of the Empress be easily closed.

Lu Yi has been devastated by this matter in recent days, and there is no bottom line to squeeze him.

Fu Sinian also thought at first, what the truth is, the one who knows the most is only the person involved.

He was thinking about it, and if there were no new clues in a few days, Lu Yi was so scared that he sent himself to the princess to find out the situation.

At that time, he originally wanted to entrust this matter to Song Yan, but unexpectedly, Gu Baozhu took the initiative to find him.

Looking at the food box in his hand, Fu Sinian inexplicably felt that the burden on his body was heavy.

He simply didn't delay, and left Huaigu Academy directly after bidding farewell to Gu Baozhu.

Just as Gu Baozhu was about to step away, he looked up and saw Song Yan leaning against another big tree, looking very uncomfortable.

Seeing what he looked like, this fellow stood up unhurriedly, raised his eyebrows and asked casually.

"The princess will continue to practice archery today?"

Gu Baozhu rolled his eyes, and readily agreed.

"That's natural—"

Not only did she have to practice archery, but she also had to learn riding skills as well as Gu Baozhu!

Song Yan nodded noncommittally when he heard the words, he didn't seem to be surprised, but raised his eyelids and said hesitantly.

"That is……"

"To your Zhuangzi or to my Zhuangzi?"

This statement is too succinct, and it is inevitable to make people think wrong.

Gu Baozhu felt that something was wrong, but after thinking about it, his Zhuangzi really couldn't go back.

Glancing at Song Yan from the corner of the eye, he saw that he was still leaning on the trunk casually, and he didn't look very busy.

Gu Baozhu thought for a while, took out the spoils she had just obtained from him from the silk bag, and stuffed "Turkic History Collection" directly into Song Yan's arms.

Confused by Gu Baozhu's operation, Song Yan straightened his back and hissed in disbelief as he looked at her.

Real and rare!

Princess Nanping, this is...

Have you learned to treat people with courtesy?
Gu Baozhu didn't bother to respond to Song Yan's undisguised expression, so he raised his eyebrows and said directly.

"If I don't specify, I will all go to your Zhuangzi in the future."

"As for this book..."

Gu Baozhu paused slightly, and said in disgust.

"I have something else to-"

"If you are not in a hurry, you can wait for me, and I will lend you this book to pass the time."

After finishing speaking, Gu Baozhu warned Song Yansha seriously.

"Don't take it for yourself, remember to return it to me tomorrow."

Song Yan hissed lightly, and absurdity appeared in his eyes.

Can there be such an unreasonable person as Gu Baozhu?
It is only natural to let myself wait, so what do you think you are doing if you are so disgusted?
His jade pendant for the rabbit moon cake was probably given to the dog.

Licking the back molars with the tip of his tongue, Song Yan nodded aggrievedly when he raised his head to meet Gu Baozhu's slightly raised eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Baozhu raised his eyebrows in a good mood, and was very satisfied with Song Yan's behavior.

Seeing Song Yan walking to the other side of the gazebo leaning on the stone pillar, holding up the "Turkish History Collection" and flipping it over, Gu Baozhu walked towards the Zangshu Pavilion without delay.

Through the thick wooden door, green smoke curls from the incense burner.

Lu Jiuxi, who was behind Gu Baozhu's table, gave a junior salute with a respectful and polite attitude.

"Bao Zhu came here today because he wanted to ask for advice on something, and asked the head of the mountain to clarify his doubts?"

Looking at Gu Baozhu with serious eyes, Lu Jiuxi ran his right hand along his beard, took out the tea set, and motioned her to sit down with a gentle expression.

"Come on, don't worry—"

"Sit down and talk slowly!"

The aroma of tea overflows from the teapot.

Lu Jiuxi's movements of distributing tea are smooth and flowing, which is quite aesthetic.

Such a relaxed and soothing atmosphere made Gu Baozhu's slightly tensed strings loosen.

"Thank you, Master Shan."

After receiving the new tea from Lu Jiuxi, Gu Baozhu slowly expressed his intentions.

"Shan Zhang, Baozhu would like to ask you for advice about foreign countries coming to our court meeting in Yan Kingdom..."

After thinking about it, Gu Baozhu pursed her lips, and finally asked out the doubts in her heart.

"Just like..."

　Why did Baozhu find the head of the mountain?
