Son, he doesn't want to divorce

Just when Zhaocai was about to ask Gu Hanzhang if he could go down first, Gu Hanzhang opened his mouth.

"Very good, your monthly report is gone again."

Even if he was thinking about recruiting money, he couldn't figure out why Gu Hanzhang had to deduct his monthly statute. He had just told the news about the concubine in such detail. Why did he still have to deduct the monthly statute?
Thinking so far, Zhao Caita raised his head and looked at Gu Hanzhang with tears in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, the slave didn't do anything, why do you have to deduct the monthly penalty again? How many times have you deducted the monthly penalty from the slave, and the slave can't afford to eat, and has lost a lot of weight."

Hey, it's a shame to recruit money.

Gu Hanzhang stared at Zhaocai's chubby belly and face without a word, and he really couldn't connect him with what he said that he couldn't afford to eat and lost a lot of weight.

Although he apparently deducted the monthly fee, in fact, the money he got from Zhaocai was not less than half a penny. How did it make him, the master, seem to have done something outrageous?
"Okay, don't pretend, hurry up and get out." Gu Hanzhang had a gloomy face.

He hasn't made any progress with Chaoli now, but this kid has a hot fight with the maid in the backyard, and even made an appointment to go to the theater together. It's no wonder he has a good temper.

It's just a small penalty and a big commandment, and if you say something that shouldn't be said in front of him, he will deduct it even harder next time!
Zhao Cai pursed his lips, silently wiped away the tears that did not fall, and left the study slowly.

Gu Hanzhang took a deep breath, ignored the account book on the table, and simply got up and walked out of the study.

After leaving the door, Gu Hanzhang intended to see Chaoli, but as if he had thought of something, he turned around and walked in another direction.

Relying on his good memory, Gu Hanzhang stepped into the cold courtyard.

Standing in the cold courtyard, Gu Hanzhang was thinking about Chaoli in his heart. He couldn't help but wonder, what's so different about this cold courtyard that made Chaoli, a person who had never set foot before, stay here for so long?
It's just that Gu Hanzhang looked carefully, but still didn't see any difference.

Immediately, he stopped under the crooked neck tree.

According to Zhaocai, Chaoli has been standing under this tree for a long time, does he like this tree?
It's just a jujube tree, but it made Chaoli care so much. The jujube tree is not a precious thing, nor is it so rare, something is wrong.

Suddenly, Gu Hanzhang raised his hand and caressed the tree trunk involuntarily.

At this moment, his heart suddenly hurt, his breathing became much faster, and some fragments flashed in his mind.

In a daze, there was a man lying on the snow, a few irregular patches of bright red appeared on the chest of his snow-white undershirt, and a maid beside him was crying hoarsely, his heart ached more and more, his ears seemed to be There was a roar of howling cold wind.

Gu Hanzhang held his breath and wanted to see the people on the ground clearly, but was blocked by the wind and snow, so he couldn't see clearly.

The only thing that is certain is that the person on the ground who doesn't know whether it is a man or a woman is pulling his heart, making him feel like a knife while trying to see clearly.

It's a pity that in the end, Gu Hanzhang still couldn't see the person lying in the snow clearly.

When the surroundings calmed down, Gu Hanzhang's eyes were already scarlet, and he was holding his heart and gasping for breath.

Gu Hanzhang found that the pain in his heart was not from the previous injury, but from the suffocating images that appeared in his mind just now.

What is going on?

Why, he saw a person lying down under this tree?

Even if you just look at it from a distance, you can feel that the people on the ground seem to have stopped breathing.

Even for a moment, Gu Hanzhang felt that that person was Chaoli.

This is not aimless, but well-founded.

He had a dream before. In the dream, he had a conflict with Fang Zhengye because of the Chaoli Changbeng incident.

Could it be that Chaoli died under this crooked neck tree, and then he went to the temple to light an everlasting lamp for him?
At first thought, it seems plausible, but Gu Hanzhang feels that this guess is not right, and why Chaoli died here is completely unexplainable.

If you think so, how did Chaoli know about Leng Yuan?
Gu Hanzhang prides himself on being unparalleled in wisdom, but at the moment he is rarely confused, unable to figure out these things, it seems that they can be connected together, but there is something missing.

After a long time, the pain in Gu Hanzhang's heart disappeared, and he suddenly smiled bitterly.

"I'm probably out of my mind."

Maybe I should go to Master Mingjing to clarify my doubts, and I should go to Hanye Temple tomorrow.

After stopping for a while, Gu Hanzhang exhaled foul breath, put his hands behind his back, restored his previous appearance, and walked out of the cold courtyard.

Late at night, Gu Hanzhang went back to the house.

The lights in the house have been turned off, and Chaoli doesn't know if Gu Hanzhang will come back today. She didn't leave the light on, and she has already slept on the bed, but she hasn't fallen asleep yet.

"Still asleep?" Gu Hanzhang's voice sounded.

Zhao Li opened his eyes, he couldn't see Gu Hanzhang's appearance clearly in the dark, but he could smell a cold fragrance from him.

"The prince is back." Chao Li said lightly.

Gu Hanzhang stood in the dark for a moment, then slowly walked towards Chaoli, and sat on the collapsed chair.

Feeling Gu Hanzhang's approach, Chaoli couldn't help but step back for a while, staring at Gu Hanzhang with some doubts.

Although Chaoli couldn't see Gu Hanzhang's expression clearly, Gu Hanzhang, a martial arts practitioner, had good night vision and could see Chaoli's expression clearly.

"What happened this morning is not what Pei Yu thought." Gu Hanzhang shook his head with a wry smile, "I know you don't care, but I still want to explain to you. I have nothing to do with that maid, she said when she knocked on the door You brought me clothes, and I let her in. After she came in, she took off her clothes, and I hurried her out, and Pei Yu happened to see her."

Chao Li knew it clearly, and didn't think that Gu Hanzhang would really do such a thing.

Hearing his explanation this time, it is undeniable that Chao Li still felt a little happy in her heart, but she didn't want to delve into it.

"Actually, Shizi doesn't need to explain to me, I already believe in Shizi." Chaoli replied flatly.

Gu Hanzhang felt better, "Do you really believe me?"

"Why don't you believe this? The prince is a brave person. If he really wanted the maid's body, he would not hide it. He would definitely arrange a small courtyard for her. Tingyu Pavilion is the largest courtyard in the Hou's mansion." , there are several small courtyards inside, so it’s not impossible to take out a small courtyard to house concubines. And the prince’s vision is high, I think he should not look down on those ordinary maids, otherwise there would be no one around now. Room." Chaoli said.

I have to say that what Chaoli said made Gu Hanzhang feel a lot better.

Although he knew in his heart that this did not mean that Chaoli cared about him, but at least his evaluation in her heart was not that bad.

"That morning when you heard Pei Yu say that a maid came out of the study in disheveled clothes, did you ever feel uncomfortable?"
