After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

"Why? No way."

Su Xiaomu tiptoed slightly, she tilted her head, looked at Gu Jingcheng's fiery eyes with sparkling eyes and said angrily: "Since you doubt it, let me do it first."

Su Xiaomu hugged Gu Jingcheng's head and kissed his lips.

The moment the lips of the two were pressed together, the Jiangnan City fireworks were set off, and under the crackling and enthusiastic fireworks, Gu Jingcheng only felt that the nerve he had been tense was completely disconnected at this moment!
-

The journey back to Beijing can be regarded as very stable.

Except that there are always people in the capital who write letters to Gu Jingcheng.

Those letters drifted toward Gu Jingcheng like snowflakes, telling Su Xiaomu to go thousands of miles away with him to understand the current situation in the capital, and the two of them could do nothing.

Apart from knowing the current situation in the capital every day, what kind of madness did the third prince have in the court?

"I also didn't expect that Lin An could do this for his daughter. I thought that under a lot of pressure, even if he didn't marry his daughter to the third prince, he would send his daughter out to avoid the limelight. I didn't expect that , He will be tough with the third prince directly, I heard that for ten days in a row, he wrote a letter to impeach the third prince together with the doctor Yushi, and even dragged the mother clan of the imperial concubine into the water, telling them to choose between the future of the whole family and a prince."

Su Xiaomu looked at the last letter sent by Shen Xiyan with emotion, but he still hadn't quite figured out what the third prince was thinking?
The emperor is still alive, so he can't hold back his vain attempts to control the court?

This is simply too bold, right?He didn't take the emperor and the prince seriously, nor did he take his own life seriously.

"The third prince probably can't wait any longer. There is another secret you don't know. The imperial concubine's father, who is also the grandfather of the third prince, is now dying. They must still be willing to continue to put the power of the whole family on the third prince. Their family also has a descendant who entered the court. I don’t understand this matter, but the crime of copying the family and exterminating the family will kill the whole family. Know what's at stake."

Although the great family has been prominent for many generations, it is a big tree that attracts the wind. If it is really necessary to destroy him, it will only be a matter of a few teams of soldiers.

What's more, the third prince is getting more and more crazy now, and he doesn't look like a reliable candidate for the heir apparent.

There is such a secret thing?
At this moment, the third prince really felt like the tree had fallen and the monkeys were scattered.

Su Xiaomu sighed for the poor prince, then leaned on the rickety carriage and continued to doze off boredly.

Anyway, it will take ten days from them to the capital, and these ten days are enough time for many things to happen in the capital.

It is not clear that by the time they arrive in the capital, the third prince has completely lost the ability to jump around?

Su Xiaomu didn't look energetic, so Gu Jingcheng stuffed her with a soft pillow and burned incense in the carriage.

He stretched out his hand worriedly to touch Su Xiaomu's forehead: "In the past few days in the car, you don't look as energetic as before, but what's wrong with your body?"

"No, it's just that I haven't been in a carriage for such a long time, and I always feel a little dizzy, but it's okay, isn't it going to the post station soon?"

Su Xiaomu felt that his spirit had not been very good since he came back from Jiangnan City.

I don't know if I'm tired there, my body hasn't recovered yet.

She smelled the calming fragrance from the tip of her nose, closed her eyes, leaned against the carriage wall and slowly fell asleep.

It was already evening when we arrived in the capital.

Not coming back for more than two months, Su Xiaomu clearly felt that the atmosphere in the capital this time was different from before.

If you can still feel the prosperity of the imperial capital when you left before, then the atmosphere of the capital at this time is almost comparable to that of the disaster-stricken Jiangnan City.

In a city that clearly has no curfew, there are actually few people walking around in the evening.

Not long after the carriages of Su Xiaomu and Gu Jingcheng entered the city, they encountered someone checking their identities, and it was the Imperial Forest Army guarding the palace.

"It turned out to be Mr. Gu...The matter of disaster relief in the south of the Yangtze River has been resolved? It is worthy of being the number one scholar. Mr. Gu is capable."

The Imperial Forest Army Luo Xia knew Gu Jingcheng. Every time Gu Jingcheng entered the palace before, he happened to be guarding the palace gate.

We often meet face to face, and Gu Jingcheng is a respectful official even though he is cold to the outside world, so most people who have contact with him have a good impression of him.

"I just came back, and I haven't had time to dismiss my post with Your Majesty."

Gu Jingcheng got off the carriage, his brows were slightly frowned on his cold and handsome face, and he asked about the strange atmosphere in Luo Xia's capital.

"I haven't returned in the past two months, why do I feel that the capital is different from the past? But I think few people go out in the evening, but..."

Gu Jingcheng lowered his voice and asked Luo Xia, he looked around slightly: "Is there any change in the court?"

"I don't dare to say this nonsense, but the fight between the third prince and the crown prince has been fierce recently. His Majesty seems to have deliberately favored the prince, and has dealt with many officials sent by the third prince. Right now, the six departments are also ordered to conduct a self-examination, and nine out of ten officials in the capital are implicated. Inside, everyone is in danger at this moment, even ordinary people are aware of the turmoil in the capital at this time, so how dare they come out and wander around."

Luo Xia was also transferred from the palace to inspect the inner city, so he knew more or less about the inside information.

How else can I say that the court changes every day?
The third prince was still His Majesty's beloved son yesterday, so he didn't have to give the prince any face because of him.

Now the third prince has been abandoned and ignored, and it seems like yesterday.

"The change is so great? What about the other families, do they have something to say about the third prince?"

This Luo Xia is the son of a son of a concubine from a big family. He is also good at inquiring about the affairs of these aristocratic families. It is not the first time that Gu Jingcheng has inquired about news from him, so the two of them speak very familiarly.

"What can this family say? His Majesty's throne, His Majesty's son, who dares to talk nonsense before the full order is made? Not to mention the matter of standing in line some time ago, His Majesty knocked on those two, saying that it's okay to make a little noise Son, but if Da Chen's roots are shaken by this competition for the throne, then he can only help his youngest son to the throne."

When Rorschach heard the gossip say that for the first time, his jaw dropped in shock.

Later, he sent people to inquire many times, and after confirming that the words really came from the emperor's mouth, he was even more surprised.

You must know that the people from the Western Regions are still there, and the emperor obviously did not intend to hide this from the people from the Western Regions.

That's like telling others about your own ugliness, and letting those people from the Western Regions watch the fun.

Hiss, anyway, he didn't understand what the emperor was thinking, and he would threaten his adult son with the youngest son in the end.
