The beauty raised by Lord Hou is a black lotus

Chapter 72: Is Your Majesty okay?Is the empress okay?
When He Er stared at Yuan Wang, his eyes were particularly bright, as if hiding a round moon, clear, soft, bright and flawless.

That's the look you get when you're in love with someone.

That crazy girl who fights and kills with arrogance and domineering will also show such a look in front of Xiao Langjun...

And their appearance and age match so well.

Even though they are surrounded by glamorous ladies and young men, these two people still attract attention even when they are sitting in a crowd.

"Brother, what are you looking at?" Gu Zhenzhen sitting next to him was curious.

She followed Gu Tingzhou's line of sight, and saw the second girl of the He family opposite, she couldn't help but smile.

She covered her embroidered handkerchief and coughed weakly a few times, and said softly: "I have been sick all year round and can't go to the Imperial College to study, but I have heard of Miss He Er. My brother has refused to marry me so far. Whose girl is also I don’t like her. Could it be that she likes Miss He Er? Yes, there is no second lady like her in Luo Jing.”

Like He Yao?

Gu Tingzhou scoffed lightly.

He withdrew his gaze, "I don't talk about kissing, I have my reasons. Not to mention that I don't get involved in love affairs, even if I meet a woman I like, I will not rush to talk to her. Life is too short, There are a lot of things to do... I really don't have time to waste on the love of my children."

He was eating tea by himself, his face aloof and indifferent, as if only family and country affairs could move him.

Gu Zhenzhen was speechless.

Is there really anyone in the world who can remain calm and emotionless for the rest of his life?

Although she has lived in a boudoir for a long time, she is also well-read and knows all kinds of emotions in the world, but love is the most uncontrollable.

The ministers drank and drank, and soon it was time to perform the dance.

Holding the apple juice, He Yao carefully admired Jiang Yudi's dance.

The girl has a slim waist and long legs. She dances with water sleeves, like a butterfly on the golden palace. The light golden candlelight dances on her hairpin. She is so light and elegant, even more powerful than the most skilled little lady in Luojing. , attracted almost everyone's attention.

He Yao looked at it, and suddenly asked Yuan Wang, "Does it look good?"

Yuan Zhuang was playing with the wine cup with one hand on his chin, staring at Jiang Yudi with complex and searching eyes.

Hearing this, he thought for a while and replied seriously: "Although I have never seen Sui Sui dance, this girl's dancing posture is probably not as good as Sui Sui's. What's more, I appreciate reading poetry more than singing and dancing. The little lady of books.”

He Yao gave him a surprised look.

She thought Jiang Yudi's dance was beautiful, but it was not as spirited as the one she danced in the Imperial College that day. It seemed that she was unwilling to perform for people here, or even unwilling to appear here at all.

And the answer of the young master...

It was more like he was afraid that she would be jealous.

She couldn't help laughing, and thoughtfully put a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake for Yuan Wang, "When I meet a beautiful lady, I like to stare at her. Everyone has a love for beauty, even if the young master likes to watch her dance It's nothing, I'm not that stingy!"

Yuan Wang poked the sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the plate, pursed his thin lips and smiled.

Happy New Year, why are you so sweet and so obedient?

Really the most understanding little lady in the world.

After the dance ended, Jiang Yudi respectfully greeted the emperor and empress.

Jiang Yinong also stood up and held up his hands, "I haven't seen you for a year. How are you, Your Majesty? How are you, Your Majesty?"

The emperor laughed, "Both the empress and I are doing well, Jiang Aiqing looks much more energetic than this time last year."

After some more polite words were exchanged between the monarch and his ministers, Jiang Yinong took out the gift he had brought from Langya.

Other gold, silver and jade objects are nothing more than that. The agarwood comb he presented to Zhang Tailiu is inlaid with dozens of rare emeralds. It is a very precious thing, which opened the eyes of the officials.

He looked directly at Zhang Tailiu without hesitation, "This comb was obtained by a minister who went to Japan and exchanged 99 dendrobium pearls for it. It is the only one in the world."

Zhang Tailiu casually played with the wooden comb.

The pomegranate pattern is finely carved on the back of the comb, which is her favorite pattern.

She smiled, "Jiang Qing has a heart."

Jiang Yinong looked at her deeply before returning to his seat.

Next, the emperor naturally granted a marriage in public and asked Jiang Yudi to be the crown prince's concubine.

Jiang Yudi thanked her and sat down in her seat dignifiedly.

The palace banquet is still going on.

Jiang Yudi picked up the wine cup in front of her, covered her sleeves and took a sip. It was only half a cup of tea when she suddenly vomited blood and fell to the ground in pain, obviously poisoned.

The maid next to her screamed, and the fruit plate she was holding fell to the ground.

"There are assassins!"

I don't know who yelled, and the whole golden palace was in chaos.

He Yao subconsciously stood in front of Yuan Wang, nervously looking in Jiang Yudi's direction.

Gu Tingzhou tapped his fingertips on the food table and glanced at He Yao without leaving any trace.

In the past, when he was in danger, He Er would take the lead in protecting him.

It was like this in Mantou Grotto, and it was also like this when he was surrounded by Jiang Yinong's people in the alley on a rainy night.

Now that Yuan Wang is here, she should protect him first.

But... Yuan Wang is her fiancé after all, he is much closer and more important than his immediate boss, so protecting him is understandable.

There was a commotion in the Golden Palace for a while, and everyone was frightened for a while. Fortunately, Jiang Yudi was the only one who drank the poisoned wine in the end, and was quickly sent to the side hall by the maid, and invited the imperial doctor for consultation.

The emperor was furious and ordered a strict investigation.

Wei Jiuqing volunteered and volunteered, "It's better to hand over this case to Weichen. Please rest assured, Your Majesty and Lord Jiang. In less than half a month, Weichen will definitely explain to Miss Jiang and find the murderer who poisoned her!"

Gu Tingzhou smiled, "Master Wei didn't find out the case of Huijue Temple, why did he want to take over this case? Is Master Wei busy?"

"How come the Huijue Temple case has not been investigated?" Wei Jiuqing retorted, "It has been confirmed that the murderer is the Liangzhou thief. We are now trying our best to hunt him down. I think he will be arrested and brought to justice in less than a month."

His words were convincing, but the people in the Golden Palace couldn't agree with him.

No matter how unreliable the wanted portrait looked, Wei Jiuqing believed it to be true, and posted it all over the street.

How in the world can anyone look like that?

Even the emperor hesitated a little, "Wei Qing is good at strategizing and governing the country, but he is quite lacking in handling cases. In my opinion, the poisoning case should be left to Xiao Gu."

This means reactivating Gu Tingzhou.

Unwillingness flashed across Wei Jiuqing's eyes, but he had no choice but to say yes.

When the main hall was fighting for power and profit, He Yao took the initiative to visit the side hall because she was worried about Jiang Yudi.

When Gu Tingzhou followed him to the side hall, he saw the hall was brightly lit and the doors and windows were closed. The figures of the palace maids and the imperial doctors were reflected on the screen windows, and they were busy treating Jiang Yudi.

The boy from Liangzhou was leaning against the osmanthus tree outside the hall, probably waiting for He Er.

He was wearing a crimson round-collared crotchless robe, looking up at a bright octagonal palace lantern hanging on a branch. The palace lantern cast a hazy golden light and shadow on his face. His thin lips were red, and his peach blossom eyes were warm and affectionate. Looking at his appearance and demeanor, he doesn't look like a down-and-out boy from the north, but rather a nobleman who was born in a nine-fold palace.

Gu Tingzhou listened to people in the capital discussing that except for his father when he was young, there was no other husband who could compare to Yuan Wan's handsomeness.

Tonight, it seems that he is really a stunning and beautiful young man.

As he got closer, Yuan Wang looked at him and nodded politely.

Gu Tingzhou glanced at the handful of sweet-scented osmanthus flowers he held in his palm, and said calmly, "Young master is really leisurely."

Yuan Wang smiled, "Sui Sui went to visit Miss Jiang, I'll wait for her here, I have nothing to do, seeing the osmanthus flowers falling in the autumn night, I couldn't help but pick up a handful, thinking about going home to make osmanthus cakes."

Gu Tingzhou smiled, "It's nice to be idle."
