Fengmou Jiangshan

Chapter 164

Life in the palace is still uneventful, at least on the surface.The relationship between Gu Qinghua and Su Jun naturally rose to an unknown level. Even if Gu Qinghua didn't show it on the surface, Su Jun was never arrogant in front of others, but the palace went up and down, talking about the three When the imperial husband came, no one would say in that envious tone: "Su's side husband is so lucky!" Even Shao Qing, the emperor's husband who has always been as gentle as water, began to feel a little uncomfortable with Su Jun, and instead talked to Su Jun. Mu Tiannan walked closer.

Until November, there were no big disturbances in the court.Gu Tsinghua felt a little puzzled in his heart, and there were some twists and turns in the palace.

At the beginning of July, Gu Qinghua received a report from a secret agent that Mu Zhen, the only son of the Prince of Cheng'en County, had appeared in the northern region. A group of people dressed up in disguise, and besides the guards who were not low in martial arts, there was also Feng Shifu, a Qing guest from the palace.Judging by the respectful attitude of the guards and servants towards Feng Shifu, this person must have a high status in the palace.

Gu Qinghua held the secret report, and within a few minutes, he naturally thought of Ge Shufu.Could it be that Mu Zhen and Feng Shifu were sent by Mu Hongru to contact Ge Shufu?
Su Jun comforted her for a while, and then sent someone to send a letter to his father, General Su Yan, enclosing a few portraits of attendants with distinctive looks secretly drawn by Mu Zhen, Feng Shifu and the spies, and attaching the characteristics of the behavior and dress of the group. , please father to help strict interrogation.

Both Gu Qinghua and Su Jun believed that there would be something to be gained—after all, the area around the northern border was Su Yan's territory that Su Yan had managed for more than 20 years. As long as Mu Zhen and Feng Shifu had been in and out of the northern border, it was impossible for Su Yan not to find out!
Unexpectedly, it wasn't until the end of July that Su Yan replied to Su Jun's letter. In the letter, he vowed that he had sent people to thoroughly investigate all the places in the northern border and Geshu Kingdom where the forces could infiltrate, and did not catch the suspect. There was no such group of people as Su Jun described. It must be that there is something wrong with Su Jun's information!At the end of the letter, he also vaguely expressed his loyalty to the emperor, saying that as long as he is in the north, His Majesty doesn't have to worry about it, just keep your heart in your stomach!

Gu Qinghua and Su Jun looked at each other, looking at the black and white letters in their hands, Gu Qinghua even asked Su Jun bluntly: "Will someone drop this letter?"

Su Jun smiled wryly, shook his head and said resolutely: "No! This is a letter from my father!"

"Then, could it be that your father wrote the letter under duress?" Gu Qinghua asked unwillingly.

Su Jun just gave her a blank look and remained silent.Gu Qinghua himself was also embarrassed.If there is still someone who can coerce Su Yan, who sits among thousands of troops, is skilled in martial arts, and wily and scheming, then her ancient Qinghua palace may not be safe either!

"Could it be that there is something wrong with my information?" Gu Qinghua's palms were suddenly filled with cold sweat.She raised her head and stared at Su Jun in surprise, her body was also trembling slightly.

"Your Majesty," Su Jun put his warm hand on her shoulder and pressed it lightly, kissed her lightly on the forehead, and persuaded with a smile, "No! If there is really a problem with your information, they will make this mistake." What's the use of such out-of-the-box rumors? Don't you think you're not vigilant enough against Duke Chengen?"

Gu Qinghua thought about it too, Mu Hongru doesn't know how low-key he is in the court now, so low-key that he can't wait for everyone to forget his existence!At this time, how could he take the initiative to attract Gu Qinghua's scrutiny to fall on him again?

"The information from the north is temporarily unavailable!" Gu Qinghua sighed regretfully, and said, "I will pick two more and order a route to send them there." Now it is the time for employing people, and she cannot order another group of people It would be too chilling to do a secret investigation of other intelligence personnel!But she couldn't take the risk of that eventuality, as long as she secretly arranged for another person to go there, she would have to think twice about the news sent through the original line.

"But, if there is no problem with my people, could it be General Su—" Gu Qinghua's mind was clear, and he stared at Su Jun with wide eyes in surprise.

Could it be that Su Yan has a problem?If there was something wrong with Su Yan, the situation would be even more serious. Gu Qinghua didn't even dare to think about it!The expression on her face was cloudy and cloudy in an instant, and the look in her eyes changed thousands of times.

Su Jun couldn't help but turn yellow, and said half aloud: "No, I won't!" He snatched the letter paper from Gu Qinghua's hand, pointed to the last paragraph and explained to Gu Qinghua: "Look, if Dad has other things, why bother?" Say something to reassure His Majesty!"

"But, don't you think this passage is a bit redundant?" Gu Qinghua's voice was light and ethereal, she felt a little empty in her heart, and felt a little empty under her feet, like stepping on a pile of cotton.

Su Jun was stunned for a moment.That's right, he only wrote to ask if he had met Mu Zhen and his group, he didn't even mention Mu Zhen's name or real identity!Then, Su Yan only needs to tell him the news that has been found or not found, and there is no need to add the words such as rest assured.

Unless, he knew something and concealed something, he naturally added a paragraph of words to reassure them not to be restless and anxious.This passage, for the purpose of reassuring his son, just revealed his true heart invisibly!

"Your Majesty..." Su Jun's voice was as pale and hollow as his face, he held Gu Qinghua's shoulders, and said word by word: "I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe it, my father, he is definitely not like this Kind of people!"

Gu Qinghua looked back at him blankly, neither believing nor disbelief.

Su Jun was angry, his hands tightened, and he pinched Gu Qinghua's shoulders irritably: "Your Majesty, he won't! No!"

Gu Qinghua was in pain, frowned and moved his shoulders in a low voice, Su Jun hurriedly let go, and then rubbed her gently, "I'm sorry!"

Seeing the contradictions, pain and guilt on his face, Gu Qinghua couldn't bear it, raised his hand to gently touch the back of his slightly trembling cool hand, and said in a low voice: "You are you, he is him, I am not so confused .”

"Neither will he!" Su Jun's voice was fast and urgent, with irrefutable firm insistence, he stared straight at Gu Qinghua, slowed down and calmed down his voice to persuade: "Your Majesty, I want to Go to the north yourself."

"No!" Gu Qinghua shook his head resolutely, rolled his black eyes, bit his lip and said, "You are not allowed to go!"

"Let the minister go, otherwise, you are not the only one who will feel at ease." Su Jun sighed softly, he could not believe and refused to believe that his father would do something against the emperor.

Gu Qinghua didn't answer, his expression and attitude said everything.She was reluctant for him to go, and wanted to test Su Yan, there was not only one way to let Su Jun go back, but there were other ways too!

If Su Yan really betrayed her, there are only two outcomes for Su Jun to go back: one is to be under house arrest by him, and then report back to her with any news of his death; the other is that Su Jun chooses to betray her in front of filial piety. .No matter what kind of result it is, it is not what she wants!And if Su Yan didn't turn against her, then it would be superfluous for Su Jun to go back. She even wondered if this was a situation, a situation set up by Mu Hongru and the others to transfer Su Jun away from her side !

"Your Majesty!" Su Jun was rarely irritable, with blue veins looming on his forehead, and the anxious and worried expression on his face was almost crazy.

"What do you say, I won't let you go!" Gu Qinghua straightened his face, stared at him and said word by word: "Su Jun, if you dare to step out of the palace, from now on, never come back! I keep my word and never break my word!"

Su Jun was stunned for three seconds, then almost jumped up, pulled her shoulders angrily and said: "You, you still don't believe me, you still don't believe me! My father must not be this kind of person, there must be some misunderstanding here, why do you Don't let me go back and ask for clarification!"

"To find out the truth, we can find other ways..." Gu Qinghua himself felt that his voice was so weak.

"But who else is more suitable than me?" Sure enough, Su Jun asked immediately.

"I'm afraid!" Gu Qinghua suddenly threw himself into his arms, hugging his body tightly.In this sentence, she is half sincere and half acting, she believes that Su Jun will not surrender!

As expected, Su Jun's body froze, then gradually softened. He gently hugged her into his arms, rubbing his chin against her hairline, and the breath he exhaled touched her scalp with warmth and coolness. , let her whole body also bring a crisp trembling feeling.

Gu Qinghua didn't speak, but hugged him even tighter, and burrowed his head into his arms.

"Qing'er," Su Jun was the most helpless to treat her like this, and his mood gradually calmed down, but it didn't mean that he gave up his thoughts.

"Your Majesty, I want to tell you a story, would you like to hear it?" Su Jun suddenly asked with a sigh.

Gu Qinghua was originally lying in his arms with his eyes closed, but when he heard this, he couldn't help breaking away, blinked, nodded slightly and said, "Speak, I'll listen."

Su Jun hugged her and sat down gently, and whispered: "Once upon a time, there was a general..."

The more Gu Qinghua listened, the more frightened he became, and he didn't blink his eyes wide open for a while, because the so-called "story" Su Jun told was the sadomasochistic love affair between the former emperor Gu Fengqing and General Su Yan.

Su Jun said that the general and the empress fell in love, and the two planned to get married after the general returned home to visit relatives. Unexpectedly, the general married another woman in his hometown due to unavoidable reasons. The empress was heartbroken and never saw him again , and the general was also dejected, not knowing how to explain it to the Empress.The general stayed in the court, and the two would inevitably see each other from time to time, which was a torture to each other, and the general couldn't bear to resign and return to his hometown, causing the empress to lose his arm. After thinking about it, he asked the empress to resign and asked to return The border, guarding the thousands of miles of land and mountains for the empress.

Unexpectedly, the empress not only forbade it, but instead ordered to conquest the country on the other side of the border guarded by the general——
