beauty heart thorn

Chapter 38
When Gu Mingzhu woke up, she was lying on a bed.

It's not a farmhouse, but a very clean wing.

She remembered something, sat up slowly, looked around, and found that even she had changed clothes.

When you open the door, you can see green mountains and green waters, and the sun is shining brightly.

The rain stopped and there were people fishing across the lake.

Gu Mingzhu realized that this is Huyu Villa.

Gu Mingzhu saw the face of one of them clearly, and strode forward: "Why didn't you rest?"

Both of them turned their heads.

Xu Jue put down his fishing rod, stood up, and said, "It's just a small injury."

"Small injury?" Gu Mingzhu quickly glanced at the person opposite, unable to express any emotions: "Forget it, Xu Shizi knows his own body."

She saluted the people by the lake, turned her head and left.

Xu Jue followed behind and caught up.

After walking a few steps, he heard him gasp, and Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but stop.

"It hurts so badly, you don't lie down and recuperate well, what fish are you fishing with him!" Gu Mingzhu suddenly raised an unknown anger: "Don't follow me!"

She was fierce, Xu Jue followed her, seeing her arms folded and puffed up, said, "Why are you still angry?"

Gu Mingzhu turned her head away, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Xu Jue approached, saw her almond eyes staring slightly, she looked cute, and said with a smile: "I can still lie to you..." He observed her expression, and finally said: "Then I go back and lie down?"

Gu Mingzhu smiled: "Whether the son lives or dies has nothing to do with me."

"You're really angry, so you hit me twice to vent your anger?"

As he said that, he really came closer.

Gu Mingzhu pushed him away a little: "How dare I."

"I've scolded and scolded, there is nothing I dare not."

The atmosphere eased inexplicably.

Gu Mingzhu's gaze could not help falling on his lips. The scars were so obvious that it was difficult to ignore them. After all, she was a little guilty. She looked around and said, "How did we get here?"

"The farmhouse is not far from the villa. There is a doctor here, so he came here." Xu Jue leaned on the lacquered red column and looked into the distance.

Gu Mingzhu stood side by side with him.

Xu Jue said: "He is really a cruel person..."

Gu Mingzhu remained silent.

Xu Jue should have guessed her intention, this person's mind is always so thorough.

Gu Mingzhu stood quietly, in this tranquility, she suddenly and unavoidably thought about the obstacles brought about by Xu Jue's existence in Jiangling.

Which side will he be on when all is said and done?
He is the prestigious Xu Jue, the eldest son who has never been defeated since he led the army, and the general who is supported and loved by the people.

One day, they will stand on opposite sides after all.

Gu Mingzhu's heart was at peace.

Yes, so what is love?
Xu Jue said: "Yesterday, those people were strong in martial arts, they made it clear that they were going to die, but they just let Jiuyue go for some reason."

"Maybe it's your enemy."

Xu Jue said: "An enemy who dares to strike at the emperor's feet is obviously coming with a purpose. He dared to touch my head. It is admirable courage."

Gu Mingzhu smiled and said, "Don't talk about this, I'm hungry."

"go for meal."

After breakfast, Gu Mingzhu also saw Prince De Lisui.

Li Sui was the emperor's second son, and besides the East Palace, he was the most logical person who would be established as the crown prince.

But behind him, there is also the fourth son Prince Rui who is excellent in civil and martial arts.

Lichang or Lixian?

The court was divided into two factions, and they kept fighting for this reason.

Li Sui took advantage of his age, considered himself a master, but had a simple mind, because of the assassination, he quickly took it for granted that Prince Rui did it.

He knew very well that the matter of the Lotus Tower had nothing to do with him, but Prince Rui indiscriminately assigned this matter to him.

Nothing but brotherhood!

Gu Mingzhu saluted, and Li Sui was a little curious about her: "Is this the sister of Vice General Gu of the Yulin Army?"

Xu Jue said, "Exactly."

Li Sui said: "Your Majesty is injured, it won't be too late for us to rest for a few days before returning to Beijing."

The three sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

Xu Jue said: "Small injuries are fine, I have sent people here, the situation is dangerous, we should leave immediately."

Li Sui pondered for a moment, and said, "What do you think about my encounter with the assassin?"

Xu Jue drank tea: "Forgive me for being stupid, I have no opinion."

He didn't want to get involved in the struggle between the two sons.

Li Sui's smile faded a little, but soon deepened, and said: "Your Majesty is smart, you might as well give me some pointers."

"My lord." Xu Jue held the teacup and looked at Li Sui quietly: "Are you forcing me?"

Gu Mingzhu coughed lightly.

This man spoke too directly.

"Don't dare." Li Sui was also taken aback: "This king just admires you and wants to be friends with you."

Xu Jue smiled, and the atmosphere suddenly eased: "My lord, you are being polite. I am naturally friends with my lord. If you need help from a friend, you can just ask me."

Li Sui's temptation ends here.

Gu Mingzhu served tea for the two of them.

Li Sui snorted: "I haven't bothered to ask, where did the wound on Shizi's mouth come from?"

Both of them drank tea in unison.

Gu Mingzhu slowly moved the teacup to her mouth, and when she heard Xu Jue chuckle, she said with a bit of joy in her tone, "Accidentally let the cat bite me."

"Cat?" Li Sui was suspicious: "How could a cat bite you?"

"This cat has a very bad temper, and I can't do anything about her."

Li Suiruo laughed thoughtfully: "I see..."

Gu Mingzhu poured a cup of hot tea to the bottom.

The two were tacit, and kept silent.

After sitting for a while, Jiuyue brought people from Jingzhao Mansion.

A group of Qichen entered Beijing.

It was dusk when I returned to the mansion, Gu Mingzhu gave some instructions, and explained the ins and outs to Gu Xiurong, and fell asleep early.

The next day, the news spread.

Yan's house was raided.

Prince Rui and Prince De had a quarrel in the imperial study, the emperor was furious and ordered the two to go back to the mansion to contemplate their mistakes behind closed doors.

Xu Jue was implicated for no reason, and the palace sent a large number of tonics.

"I heard that the crown prince personally sent it to the Xu residence." Ah San said.

Gu Mingzhu smiled when she heard the words: "Xu Jue has a noble status after all, and if the palace doesn't have an attitude, he won't be able to explain to the Xu family if he is seriously injured."

Ah San pondered for a moment, and said, "I never imagined that the Son of Heaven's attitude towards the Xu family has reached this point."

Gu Mingzhu didn't speak, her eyes fell on the book, a little distracted.

I don't know what happened to his injury?

She thought for a while, put down the book, and said, "Is brother back?"

"The young master has just entered the mansion and is eating."

When Gu Mingzhu went, Gu Xiurong was ordering someone to clean up the dishes.

"Brother." Seeing several boxes on the table, Gu Mingzhu asked, "What is this for?"

"It's just in time." Gu Xiurong changed into his regular clothes and was hanging his head to tie his belt: "I'm going out of Beijing for a while."

"Leaving Beijing? Where are you going?" Gu Mingzhu casually opened one of the boxes, and it was a ginseng.

"The palace ordered me to go to Ganzhou with the people from the Ministry of Punishment."

"Is it related to the Lotus Tower?"

Gu Xiurong said: "Exactly, the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice are already waiting. A Jue is injured and I can't go there. You go to Xu's mansion for me to visit."

Gu Mingzhu choked.

Seeing that her expression was wrong, Gu Xiurong asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Mingzhu shook her head: "It's okay."

Gu Mingzhu sent him to the door, Gu Xiurong said: "These days in Beijing are not peaceful, try to go out as little as possible, when I'm not around, I need to find A Jue."

Gu Mingzhu nodded, and after seeing him off on the horse, she called Ah San to prepare the car.
