The first daughter is poisonous, the lord goes to bed obediently

Chapter 237
When Yu Wenhao woke up, Feng Xihe and Gu Shiyin had already visited him.

There was a slight pain in the back of his hand. When he lowered his head, he saw a white bandage wrapped around his hand.

This impression was still there, he could hardly restrain himself at that time, he could only use sharp objects to wake himself up.

"Did someone come here when I was in a coma?" Yu Wenhao got up from the bed, in a daze, he remembered a girl whispering in his ear.

The maid who served him recalled it for a while, and then said: "Yu Wangye and Yu Wangfei came, but His Highness was still awake at that time, Yu Wangye ordered the servants to take good care of His Highness."

"Apart from them, no one else has been here?" As if to confirm the guess in my heart, I asked other envoys, "While I am changing clothes, can someone go in?"

The envoy thought for a while, then said with a serious face: "The assassin is here, but rest assured, Your Highness, the mastermind behind the scenes has been found out, and is now waiting to be released in the dungeon."

"Wei Chen will definitely pursue it to the end, making her miserable." He ignored the fact that Zhou Xinyan blocked him.

In his opinion, there was an assassin in Ningguo's palace, and it was right for Zhou Xinyan to block his arrows. Yu Wenhao didn't need to know about such insignificant things.

It turned out to be an assassin.Yu Wenhao thought back, no wonder there was a large pool of blood in his mind.

"Who is the mastermind behind that?"

The envoy replied with righteous indignation: "It is Yun Changyi, the head of Anle County in Ningguo, and she also manipulated the frightened horse at the gate of the city that day."

"I didn't expect her to be such a femme fatale!"

"It turned out to be the Lord of Anle County." Yu Wenhao was not too surprised. When Ji Shiliu was competing with Qi Shouyan, when Yun Changyi used such abusive tricks, he knew that she was not as pure as she appeared on the surface. Kind.

only……

He was puzzled again: "A helpless little girl, really has the ability to tamper with our horses without anyone noticing, and plant assassins in the palace?"

"Your Highness, she is not a helpless little girl." The envoy gritted his teeth, as if he was about to pull Yun Changyi into a cramp, "She is a spy of the Yuezhao clan in Ningguo, who seduced several people one after another. The prince and ministers, relying on them, it is not surprising that she can do those things."

"The spies of the Yuezhao Clan..." Yu Wenhao seemed to be stunned, but then, his thoughts changed, he remembered something, and asked, "Is Princess Yu going back too?"

The envoy nodded, and Yu Wenhao then said: "I heard that Anle County Lord and Princess Yu once set up a charity hall in Jinling City, and used the gold and silver raised by the charity hall to borrow the urgent needs of the disaster-stricken areas, and then set up a charitable hall in Ningguo. Promote women's studies and set up women's subjects in the imperial examination."

"In another day, I will also go to that shantang to have a look. After returning to China, it would be a good deed to open such a shantang."

After Gu Shiyin and Feng Xihe met Emperor Changde and explained the whole story, they boarded the carriage leaving the palace.

On the wide corridor, their carriage met Ji Shiliu unexpectedly.

Feng Xihe lifted the curtain in front of the carriage, and said with a smile, "Is Mr. Ji still in good health?"

Ji Shiliu cupped her hands in thanks and said, "Thank you, Princess Yu, for your concern. Caomin is fine now."

"Then don't delay Mr. Ji." Feng Xi and Xu Xu put down the curtains, "However, Mr. Ji should pay more attention to the right minister's residence during this time."

Ji Shiliu nodded slightly, and then he asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the outside of the palace.

Gu Fan had already been waiting outside, looking at him from afar, then trotted over.

As soon as she heard that Ji Shiliu fainted during the competition with Qi Shouyan, she hurried over anxiously and waited outside the palace for several hours.

"Sixteen, look, I brought you your favorite candied fruit from Tianxinlou." Gu Fan's eyes turned crescents into a smile, and he handed over a pack of candied fruit wrapped in oil paper.

Ji Shiliu's expression froze, he hesitated and didn't pick it up.

After pulling Gu Fan into the carriage, he persuaded: "You don't have to guard me anymore, you also have your own preferences, you should go for a walk outside Jinling City."

"Sixteen, what do you mean?" Gu Fan didn't expect to wait for a long time, but after waiting for his words, the bright smile on his face disappeared without a trace.

Ji Shiliu turned her head, her eyes were silent, as quiet as a deep pool.

He took a long breath, and finally said what was in his heart, his voice was as calm as water, "Gu Fan, stay away from the imperial city, and find someone who treats you sincerely, who can live in an ordinary life without any worries. Your whole life is the path you should choose. Instead of staying by my useless side all the time."

The candied fruit in Gu Fan's hand fell to the ground quietly, her heart felt cold, and a hazy mist floated in her eyes.

"Because you're getting married to Miss Qian and you think I'm in the way, are you in a hurry to let me go?"

Ji Shiliu collected her expression and did not deny it.

Maybe it's good to let her think so.In fact, he never intended to marry any woman.

Marriage with Qian Feifei was only when he was recruiting relatives in the martial arts competition. He didn't want Qian Feifei to marry someone like Zhao Chu, and he didn't want Qian Feifei to be criticized by thousands of people.

He has been in a whirlpool since he was born, and he has been suffering from cold poison for many years. In this life, he may never be able to live like an ordinary person.

Even he himself doesn't know that he can last for many years, maybe tomorrow will be his end.

That being the case, he didn't want to drag any innocent woman into the muddy water with him.

He was silent for a while, and Gu Fan also stared at him for a while.

Afterwards, a light smile appeared on Gu Fan's face, like the sunset glow in the sky.

"Sixteen, I've been guarding you for so many years, and I left you suddenly. I'm afraid I won't get used to it. Besides, my father liked you so much before he was alive. I want to keep you safe. Otherwise, I won't have the face to go underground in the future. See father."

After hearing this, Ji Shiliu was slightly disturbed, and just about to speak, Gu Fan said: "As for who you like and who you want to marry, I don't care, and I will not hinder you. Just don't worry."

"In the future, when the danger remaining by your side is almost eliminated, I will go away far away without your telling me."

"It's just my humble wish, Sixteen, you mustn't refuse me."

In Ji Shiliu's lowered eyes, a slight ripple appeared, and he wanted to say something more to decline, but he didn't say it after all.

It was late, but there were no stars.

The air was covered with fine rain curtains, the carriage gradually drifted away, and the horseshoes stepped across the pool, splashing water.

On the wall of the imperial palace, in the Observatory of Stars, a young eunuch is holding an umbrella for Emperor Changde.

Emperor Changde leaned on the city wall with his hands, looking at the direction where Ji Shiliu was going.

His eyes were deep, and he looked at it for a long time, until Ji Shiliu disappeared from his sight, and he didn't go back.

Accompanied by his side, Concubine Zhang De asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, what are you looking at?"

Emperor Changde didn't answer, and after a while, he whispered: "Is it almost Qingming?"

Concubine Zhang De was slightly taken aback, and nodded.

After hearing this, Emperor Changde turned around abruptly and said, "I'm in the imperial study tonight, and no one is allowed to come in without my order."

Concubine Zhang De watched his leaving back, and then looked beyond the city wall, a chill crept up her spine unknowingly.

"Mother Concubine, what's the matter with you?" Gu Jinnian felt that Concubine Zhang De's complexion was not very good-looking, and couldn't help but said with concern: "If you feel unwell, I will immediately ask the imperial physician for you."

Concubine Zhang De raised her hand to caress her forehead, tried her best to suppress the panic in her heart, and forced a smile.

"Mother Concubine just thinks that you have grown up, and you are a little too happy." She said perfunctorily.

But in her heart, the inexplicable horror was wave after wave.

For some reason, she always felt that Ji Shiliu looked familiar, and his appearance would deal a fatal blow to Gu Jinnian.

Regarding the true origin of Ji Shiliu, she must have someone investigate it as soon as possible.

After Emperor Changde came to the imperial study room, he sent everyone out, leaving only one eunuch in charge inside.

He has been searching for something on the rows of bookshelves for a long time.

The eunuch in charge persuaded helplessly: "Your Majesty, let the old slave do the work for you."

Emperor Changde ignored it and continued to search vigorously.

found it!
Not long after, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he took out a pair of dusty scrolls from the interlayer.

He carefully placed the scroll on the royal case full of memorials, and slowly opened it.

A woman in a neon dress who fell into the eyes, leaning over to pick snow lotus flowers in the snow-capped mountains, looked like a fairy.

However, there are no facial features on her face.

Emperor Changde caressed the woman's face with great care, and murmured: "Ten years of life and death are boundless, don't think about it, never forget it..."

When the eunuch in charge saw it, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. After following him for many years, he naturally understood that the woman on the scroll was the first queen.

He glanced at Emperor Changde and sighed in his heart. The former empress was too miserable. Because of the occurrence of witchcraft, after she died, she could not be buried in the imperial mausoleum. Among the tombs.

The former prince passed away not long after he was thrown into the prison, and Emperor Changde never even saw his dead body.

The eunuch in charge thought about it, and sighed secretly again, feeling sorry for the amazingly talented ex-prince.

The night is dark, and the drizzle is still falling non-stop, as if falling in people's hearts, arousing endless melancholy.

When Emperor Changde reminisced about the past, in the wilderness, a woman with a black jacquard veil stood in front of a tomb, holding a few sticks of incense in her hand.

On rainy days, it is not easy to burn incense, but she insisted on lighting several incense sticks and sticking them on the grave.After being extinguished by the rain, she ignited it again.

This cycle went on and on, and the maid standing beside her reminded in a low voice: "Madam, it's late, we should go."

"So it's already dark." The woman raised her eyes leisurely, turned her head, looked at the unnamed tombstone, and said, "Let's go."

They returned to Jinling City.
