Lady Wan Guan

Chapter 95 Nothing is right
Coming out of Dali Temple, the drum was beaten three times.

"I didn't expect it to be so late." Jiang Wanning felt very embarrassed. He had been busy all day, ate a bowl of noodle soup in a hurry, and had to send her back all the way.

It's a pity that there is a curfew tonight, so she doesn't dare to say any polite words.

"For me, it's still early." Gu Zhouting said calmly.

When Xiao Pan saw the little lady coming out, he quickly put down the car stool.

Just when he wanted to help the young lady, he saw Master Gu had already stretched out his hand.

Jiang Wanning hesitated for a moment, then held his hand and carefully got into the car.

Jiang Wanning thought he would get into his own carriage, but unexpectedly he got into hers right after.

Gu Zhou stopped and said seriously: "I have something to ask you."

Jiang Wan Ning:...

Still have something to ask?Then why didn't you ask in the study just now?

Jiang Wanning had no choice but to leave the chief position to him.

"What do you want to ask, my lord?"

Gu Zhouting actually just wanted to find an excuse to get into her car, but he did still have a question in his mind.

"Ms. Jiang, since you are proficient in medical skills, why did you fall for the Song Yao family?"

What's funny is that when Zheng Guan said that she was going to open a medicine hall, he thought she was prescribing it for Dr. Lin. He also said twice that he would ask the imperial doctor to take a look at her.

It turns out that she is a doctor herself and has excellent medical skills.

The problem is that he and Nan Zhi have known each other for many years, and he only knows that Nan Zhi can treat bruises and set broken bones of horses and puppies.

Jiang Wan Ning knew that she could not escape this problem.

Lin Ruoruo also asked her before.

"I was in poor health when I was a child, so I learned some medical skills, but I was not proficient in poisons. Song Yao was very good to me, so I didn't think about it at all. By the time I realized something was wrong, I had been drinking poison for several months. At that time There was no one I could trust around me, so I was afraid of alerting others, so I had no choice but to continue drinking.”

Gu Zhouting secretly clenched his fists, damn the Song family.

Just bringing the Song family into disrepute would be too advantageous for them.

"Can your poison be cured?"

"It should be okay, just give it a little more time."

Gu Zhouting breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Wanning looked at him in surprise. Was he caring about her with his relieved look?
Nothing was really right tonight.

When Xing Feng came out of the study just now, he wanted to carry a lantern to light the way, so he took the lantern and lit it himself.He walked in front, she behind, but the lantern in his hand was always by his side, lighting her way.

Moreover, she noticed that his eyes were always on her, but he lacked the suspicion, caution and inquiry in the past.When she raised her eyes, he looked away.

He used to stare at her so sharply that he could poke holes in her body.

Everything changed when he heard her conversation with Zhaoyang this morning.

She carefully recalled what she said that morning, and there was nothing wrong. Didn't she just analyze who was suspicious and what words made him change his attitude towards her?
Do you think her analysis makes sense?
That wouldn't make him change so much!
The silence between the two made the atmosphere in the car a little awkward.

Jiang Wan Ning could only find something to say: "Do you often stay busy so late, sir?"

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "I don't sleep much."

After Nan Zhi's death, it was common for her to suffer from insomnia until dawn.

When I think that the Gubei fiasco was a conspiracy and the investigation has made no progress, I feel extremely tormented.

"Have you used the soothing incense I gave you?"

"Thanks to Mrs. Ginger's soothing fragrance, I had a few peaceful nights' sleep."

"I'll make some more tomorrow."

"Stop, who is on the carriage? You are not allowed to travel at will under the curfew tonight." A sharp shout came.

Then the carriage stopped suddenly.

The effect of inertia caused Jiang Wan Ning, who was sitting sideways, to fall towards Gu Zhou.

Gu Zhou stopped consciously and stretched out his hand to support her.

Jiang Wan Ning reacted faster and was already holding the soft seat with one hand.

Gu Zhouting's hand stopped awkwardly in mid-air, unable to reach it.

Jiang Wanning sat upright and smiled coquettishly.Gu Zhouzheng calmly opened the car curtain and said to the person coming: "It's me."

The people from the City Patrol Department recognized Mr. Gu and hurriedly bowed their hands: "It turns out to be Mr. Gu. Mr. Gu is so late..."

"Investigating the case under the emperor's order."

"Thank you, sir." The patrol officer waved his hand to let him go.

Just investigating a case under the emperor's order is not something they can ask or take care of.

The carriage rolled again.

Jiang Wan Ning stroked her chest: "When will the curfew last?"

"The news of Prince Suhe's murder is still under seal. We will wait until the case is cleared up. It is estimated that there will be a curfew for some time."

Jiang Wanning understood after hearing what he said.

Of course, we need to find out who the murderer is, but the important thing is not who the murderer is, but how to give Dayuan a conclusion that will not anger them.Otherwise, one mistake could lead to war between the two countries.

The current situation is very unfavorable to Daqi.

However, she believed that with Gu Zhouding's wisdom, this crisis would be resolved.

Returning to Xichun Lane, Gu Zhouting got off the car first and then helped Jiang Wanning get out of the car.

"If you have any ideas or needs, please ask Xiao Pan to come to Dali Temple to find me. I will come when I have time."

"it is good!"

"Zhaoyang is young and energetic, don't talk to him too much."

"Oh!"

A few snowflakes fell down and landed on the tips of her hair.

Gu Zhou stopped moving his fingers, but finally resisted the urge to help her brush away the falling snow.

"Come in!"

Before Jiang Wanning could call the door, the door opened and Yu Niang and Yang Xu came out.

Seeing Mr. Gu there, Yang Xu bowed to Mr. Gu with a shy smile: "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for sending my little lady back."

Gu Zhou stopped and nodded, turned around and got into the carriage.

In the silent night, there is no one on the street, only the sound of wheels running over the snow, creaking...

Gu Zhou stopped rubbing his fingers, recalling the scene when Jiang Wan Ning was about to fall.

Her reaction really didn't look like that of a delicate woman.

It's a reaction that only martial arts practitioners have.

No matter if she is Nan Zhi or not.

Gu Zhouting felt that his heart, which had been silent for many years, was showing signs of recovery.

"Zheng Guan."

"What are your orders, sir?"

"Find two people to keep an eye on Lady Jiang."

"Ah? Yes..."

People stare at Jiang Wan Ning, not because they don't trust her, but because they are afraid that she will act impulsively and take risks.

This woman is very courageous and wants to enter the palace.

Jiang Wan Ning returned to her room, and Qing Xing fetched hot water to wash her up.

"My wife came back so late. Uncle Yang went to look for you. As a result, there was a curfew outside and he couldn't get out."

"I'm going to find out what's there to worry about, Mr. Gu."

"It's not that I'm worried about what Mr. Gu will do to you. Mr. Gu is a gentleman at first glance. We are all afraid that my wife will encounter someone from the city patrol department. I heard that many people who were wandering outside at night were arrested."

gentleman?

Well, Gu Zhouting is indeed a gentleman. His bad reputation and evil reputation are widely spread. It should be that those who have been punished by him are dissatisfied and afraid of him, so they slander him!
"Madam, do you know why the curfew is imposed? I feel that the capital is not a peaceful place."

Jiang Wan Ning smiled: "I don't know why. Anyway, if we stick to our duties, the trouble will not be our fault."
