The beauty raised by Lord Hou is a black lotus

Chapter 119 Does Mr. Gu really think he is guilty of a heinous crime?

Back in the mansion, it was already the third watch.

He Yao only felt that the young man's cold and soft breath still seemed to remain in her breath, she sat down in front of the makeup mirror in a daze, and as soon as she picked up the mahogany comb, He Meixiong jumped out from behind the screen.

Seeing her blushing face, He Meixiong couldn't help cursing: "Second Cousin is really useless, looking at you like this, you know you've been stunned by your brother-in-law."

He Yao said: "What are you doing in my room?"

"My cousin sent Miss Luo home. I had nothing to do, so I came back early." He Meixiong squeezed in and sat next to her, lowering his voice curiously, "What did the eldest cousin and Mr. Gu discuss? Did the Guo family Are you really collaborating with the enemy?"

He Yao shook her head, "I don't know what they talked about... Just looking at their expressions, the situation is probably very serious. The two of them add up to [-] minds, and even the veteran officials in the court can't figure them out. I It is estimated that Luo Jing will soon become uneasy."

"Then I'm probably out of sight." He Meixiong played with the rouge on the dressing table, "After the Lantern Festival, I should go back to Ningzhou. Second cousin, if the Guo family really collaborates with the enemy and treason, write me a letter , tell me everything. If I kill a few more enemies in Ningzhou, it can be considered as atonement for him."

He Yao knew about her relationship with Guo Shanchuan.

She touched He Meixiong's head and said, "Don't worry."

After the Shangyuan period, the ice and snow melted, and Luojing's climate became slightly warmer.

The plants in the courtyard sprouted green buds, He Meixiong packed up his bags and returned to Ningzhou, He Wei replaced He Qu, and took He Qingyun to guard the frontier, He Yao and Luo Ciyu bid farewell at the Changting Pavilion outside the city, although they were only engaged not long ago However, Luo Ciyu was so reluctant to part with it that he wiped away his tears and looked away until He Qingyun's car drove far away.

The two families have already agreed to hold a wedding for He Qingyun when he returns to Beijing at the end of this year.

He Yao thought that the weather was getting warmer, so she even rummaged through spring clothes. Unexpectedly, just after mid-February, a spring snow came suddenly. In just two days, all the plants and crops near Luojing withered.

A calamity fell from heaven, so the imperial court arranged a ceremony to offer sacrifices to heaven and pray for blessings, which was held at Huijue Temple in the northern suburbs.

"It's Huijue Temple again..." He Yao sat on the swing in the garden, "Last time at Huijue Temple, Queen Qianqiu, so many people died. This time, I chose Huijue Temple and Honglu Temple to pray for blessings. What do the officials think?"

Chun Nong wiped the armor for her, "I heard that all civil and military officials and their family members will be present. I think the girl will go too. Should the girl be present with the Tiansi Ban people, or will she go as the second girl of the He family? ?”

He Yao rocked embroidered shoes.

Gu Tingzhou seemed like a human being during this period, and she was not assigned to do a lot of work.

Even this trip to Huijue Temple to pray for blessings did not notify her to escort her as a bodyguard.

She said: "Mr. Xiao Gu seems to be very busy. He hasn't looked for me for a while. By the way, there are also Sister A and Brother Yuan. They are so mysterious that I don't know what they are busy with. Sister A is fine. , he is a busy person by nature, but brother Yuan... the Guozijian didn't start school, why is he not in the mansion all day?"

Chun Nong tidied up the armor and carefully hid it in the wooden box.

She said: "I heard from the servant in his yard that the young master has been very interested in painting recently, so he often visits famous mountains and rivers recently, intending to hone his painting skills, so he is not in the mansion. "

"That's it," He Yao was convinced. "Although I haven't seen Brother Yuan's paintings, I think they must be pretty good."

Chun Nong locked the armor, paused, and suddenly said in a soft voice: "Miss, don't blame this servant for being suspicious and ill. The young duke has been in our house for so long, have you ever read his writing, have you seen his paintings? It is said that he is proficient in reciting poems and composing Fu, but has the girl read his poems and Fu?"

He Yao was speechless.

Of course she is...

All have never been seen before.

She thought for a while, and retorted: "Brother Yuan looks refined and elegant, more handsome than all the men from Luojing's aristocratic families combined, he must be full of poetry and books, and well-informed, what do we have to doubt?"

"Your maidservant, I'm afraid it may not be so. These days, Mr. Xiao Lang can deceive people." Chun Nong's eyes flashed a shrewd light, "While he is not in the house, girl, why don't we go to his study? How about he? A talented scholar must have some works, right?"

He Yao hesitated.

At the same time, the Lunar New Year Building.

The old mantou cave has taken on a new look, and row upon row of new shops have been newly built on the entire island. Although the people who come and go are still in strange shapes and shapes like ghosts walking in the night, the order is in good order, and the trivial matter of human life has never happened again.

Yuan Wang wore a scarlet round-neck crotchless gown and a white fox mask. He stood gracefully outside the Lunar New Year Building, smiling and raised his hand to invite, "Miss He, Lord Gu, Your Highness Ninth Prince, this way please."

He Chenzhu knew his identity, nodded briefly, and stepped forward through the threshold.

Gu Tingzhou's expression was not good-looking, "Miss He asked Gu to come over, but she wanted Gu to cooperate with this little thief? He is a Liangzhou thief wanted by the court."

"Heroes don't ask where they come from," He Chenzhu said calmly, "What's more, does Mr. Gu really think that he set the fire in the West City and killed those people in the north? Do you really think that he is guilty of a heinous crime?"

Gu Tingzhou was silent.

He has judged countless cases, and has come into contact with countless vicious gangsters. This Liangzhou robber does not have the aura of a villain in him.

Yuan Wang led the three of them to the Lunar New Year Building.

The horizontal hall on the second floor is filled with ancient weapons racks. There are all kinds of weapons and armors, and the quality is not inferior to that of the imperial court.

Yuan Wang smiled, "Miss He placed an order at the Lunar New Year Building for six thousand pairs of armors and weapons. I have prepared them all. All the items on display here are samples. Please inspect them."

He Chenzhu looked at it carefully and was quite satisfied.

She turned to Gu Tingzhou, "According to the secret report I got, the barbarians have already begun to go south secretly. On the day of offering sacrifices to heaven and praying for blessings, they will probably reach the outskirts of Luojing. Presumably, the prince intends to take advantage of the fact that all civil and military officials and their families are in Huijue At the time of the temple, the emperor and empress were held hostage and forced to force the palace. With these fine weapons, please ask Taiwei Gu to mobilize the army to protect the driver, and the merits of escorting can smoothly fall into the hands of Mr. Gu."

He Chenzhu looked down upon those imperial guards.

The weapons and armor are all aging, and the military pay is used for eating, drinking and having fun. It is impossible to fight against the elite of the barbarians.

Therefore, I placed an order in Yuanxuan in advance.

Gu Tingzhou sat down with his robe lifted, and took the fragrant tea presented by the maid, "Abducting the empress? Miss He means that the empress did not participate in this matter?"

He Chenzhu said calmly: "The Queen didn't know about it. Although the Crown Prince was supported by the Queen, he had already had a different idea. Not only did he hate the Queen's dictatorship, but he also disliked the emperor's cowardice, so he had the idea of ​​​​forcing the palace. It was just that he had no soldiers and no power, so he colluded. The Guo family used the Guo family as introducers to get acquainted with the barbarians.”

Yuanwang listened attentively.

The crown prince is also stupid, he used foreigners to try to usurp the throne, even at the expense of bringing their troops into Luojing.

But they didn't know that this was clearly leading wolves into the house.
