Warm spring enters Hou's door

Chapter 117

Hearing this, everyone present's face changed, Zhang Changzong and the two brothers hurriedly shouted: "He is so bold! Doctor Song is a genius doctor that His Majesty relies on very much. If he beats people to good or bad, what will His Majesty do?" Your Majesty, this person is so arrogant in the palace, one can imagine how they bully Gaoyang County King and Xin'an County King outside, you must punish this person well, and let Gaoyang County King and them decide!"

The queen's face turned cold for a moment.

"Come here, Xuan Chang Ninghou and Song Miracle Physician have an audience."

"Yes!" The eunuch hurried out to declare.

Actually, Du Juanqing and Song Huan didn't make too much trouble.At any rate, they were at the gate of the palace, and the gates inside the palace were strictly guarded, so the moment Du Juanqing kicked Song Huan to the ground, the guards had already reacted.When Du Juanqing rode on Song Huan's body and started to attack, he only hit him four or five times before he was dragged aside by the guards who rushed over.

Song Huan was naturally pulled up.

But both of them were still full of dissatisfaction.

Song Huan's face was red and swollen from the beating, and he stared at Du Juanqing: "My surname is Du, you are despicable! Fortunately, I thought that after you were named Du Ruhui, you must be an upright person! But I didn't expect that you would resort to such What a trick!"

"To deal with a lowly person like you, then you should use lowly tactics." Du Juan said coldly.

"I bother!"

Song Huan was so angry that he jumped his feet: "If you have the ability, you and I will come here! Let's see who can win who in the end!"

"Okay, if I have a chance, I want to really try your skills, Miracle Doctor Song." Du Juan nodded coldly.

"What chance are you looking for? Come now!" Song Huan said, and immediately began to roll up his sleeves, planning to make a move.

Du Juanqing was also ready to fight back.

However, before the two of them could actually do anything, the Queen's order came.

The two people who were at war with each other calmed down a little bit.

"You wait for me! After seeing Her Majesty, I want you to look good!" Song Huan immediately spoke harshly again angrily.

Du Juan hummed lightly. "Wait and see."

Song Huan flicked his long sleeves, turned around and left immediately.Du Junqing also strode to keep up.

When the two arrived at the inner hall, they saw Gu Caiqin curled up on the ground, still sobbing softly.This little one looks really pitiful.

Hearing Du Juanqing's voice, she quickly raised her head, stared at him with teary eyes, parted her red lips slightly and called softly: "Master Hou..."

Du Juanqing immediately sank his face.

Song Huan raised his eyebrows. "Yo, did this change back?"

Du Juanqing immediately looked at him again. "You did it!"

"Yes!" Song Huan nodded with a smile, and he walked forward to salute the queen, "Your Majesty, do you think I'm right? This little lady really has two souls in her body. In this way, Resurrecting the dead is completely feasible."

The queen nodded. "That's what she said, but she's like this..."

The queen looked at Gu Caiqin, with a look of displeasure between her brows.

Song Huan hurriedly said: "Of course, her behavior is just the result of not preparing all the tools in a panic. But if you prepare everything in advance and find a place to do it safely, then the body will The primordial souls will definitely be expelled, leaving only the souls that need to be stationed. This can be guaranteed."

When Gu Caiqin heard this, her face changed in fright, and she quickly shouted: "Who are you? What do you mean? What do you want to do to me?"

Song Huan just glanced at him lightly. "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you. On the contrary, you can return to your own body as the leader, and this is thanks to me! Now you should thank me!"

Gu Caiqin looked at him suspiciously.

Du Juanqing frowned even tighter at this time.

"Marquis Changning!" At this moment, the empress suddenly heard a low voice.

Du Juanqing quickly returned to his senses: "Your Majesty, please give me instructions!"

"Do you still need me to tell you this? What have you done these days, and you have not quickly recruited me!" The queen said coldly.

Zhang Changzong said gloatingly again: "Your Majesty, what are you talking to him in such a good manner! They rely on your partiality, and they don't even pay attention to the princes of the Wu family. On the way to Yongxing County Prescribing drugs to Gaoyang County King and the others made them lose face and become the laughing stock of others. They even drove them crazy because they didn't get along with Gaoyang County King and Wei Wang's son! These are scary enough, As a result, after he drove Gaoyang County King out of Yongxing County, he began to privately forge weapons and secretly train troops. Anyone with eyes can see why they did this. Your Majesty, you have nothing to do with them Said, just arrest people and execute them!"

Du Juanqing ignored his words.He just nodded and said: "Your Majesty, I do have something to report to you."

The queen nodded heavily. "Just tell me."

"I implore Du Ren, the personal attendant of Her Majesty the Empress, Xuan Weichen, to have an audience. I also bring in the things in his hand." Du Juanqing said.

The Queen raised her eyebrows, and Zhang Yizhi hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please be careful! They must have some bad intentions!"

"He just brought a few arrows, not even an arrow shaft. What bad things can we do with them?" Du Juanqing snorted immediately.

Zhang Yizhi snorted softly. "Defenses can not do without!"

"Okay, Liulang, Ah Yi, stop talking." The empress finally spoke slowly at this time. Zhang Changzong and Zhang Yizhi changed their surly appearance when facing Du Juanqing. kitten in general.

Then, the queen nodded again. "Come here, bring in Marquis Changning's personal attendant."

The eunuch hurriedly went out to spread the word again.After a while, Du Ren strode in.

After seeing the ceremony, Du Juanqing ordered him: "Take out the things and present them to His Majesty."

"Yes!" Du Ren nodded quickly, and put the small bundle he had been dragging in his hand on the tray. Du Juan then said: "This is an arrow made by Wei Chen from the iron ore in Wei Chen's fief. This arrow is in the Now the usual arrows in the army have been slightly improved, the lines have been elongated a bit, and two blood grooves have been opened on the top, and the lethality has increased by about [-]%. This minister thinks that this is a major event that benefits the country and the people, so this When I came back to Chang'an for the first time, I specially brought these things back, please have a look at them, Your Majesty!"

When he was speaking, the eunuch had already checked and confirmed that the arrowhead was not poisonous before sending the tray city to the queen.

After hearing Du Juanqing's words, the empress' eyes brightened, and a faint look of excitement appeared on her face.Now when the arrows were delivered to her, she immediately picked up one and looked at it, before she said, "Looking at it this way, it seems to be the same as the ones I usually use."

"Your Majesty, things like arrows are small in nature. If you make a slight change, laymen generally can't see why. But as long as this kind of thing is held in the hands of experts, they will understand what's going on. It's gone." Du Juanqing said, and he cupped his hands again, "I have the guts to ask Your Majesty to try an arrow!"

"Yes." The Queen nodded.

So, the eunuch hurriedly called Qianniuwei in again, while Shangguan Wan'er and the others were busy waiting for the queen to change clothes, and everyone went to the imperial garden together and found a spacious place.

A high platform has already been set up here.The queen went to sit down, and Du Juanqing and others naturally followed and sat behind her.

Afterwards, the grass target was erected, and the arrows were also placed on the arrow shafts, and handed over to the people who were good at riding and shooting in Qianniuwei.

Everything was ready, Qian Niuwei drew his bow and shot an arrow, and there was a sound of "sho", and the arrow sank into the straw target.

A eunuch ran over to have a look, and then shouted: "Pierce through!"

Immediately, several people drew their bows and shot arrows, all of which were pierced.

Seeing this, the Qianniu Guards also showed excitement.

"Your Majesty, I implore you to get on your horse and shoot arrows!" a person shouted.

The Queen nodded again. "Can."

Then, several fine horses were pulled over.Qian Niuwei got on his horse and galloped all the way.When it was a certain distance from the archery target, Limara bowed and shot——

shhhhhh!
Immediately, there was another sharp sound piercing the air.

Immediately afterwards, the eunuch shouted again: "Pierce through all!"

The Thousand Bull Guards were instantly overjoyed.They got off their horses and ran to look at the archery targets themselves. When they came back, their faces were all red.

"My minister congratulates Your Majesty, happy to get an elite weapon!" They knelt down on one knee and shouted in unison.

When the queen heard this, her slightly frowned brows relaxed a little. "Oh? See what you guys mean, this arrow is really good?"

"It's more than good? It's really good!" A Qianniuwei shouted excitedly, "Although the arrow has only been slightly modified, the line is obviously smoother when it is shot, and even the voice is much lower Moreover, this arrow is extremely sharp, and the Weichen only used [-]% of his strength to pierce through the grass target, and even shot an arrow through the grass target! If the Weichen used [-]% of his strength, the A straw target is absolutely irresistible, at least two are needed! Then, if this arrow is used on a person..."

Needless to say, it can definitely shoot people through!

In this era, the army used the bow and arrow the most.However, due to the shortage of raw iron and the limited number of arrowheads, the army has always been able to work hard on the accuracy of the arrowheads.But no matter how hard you work, if the quality of the original iron is not good, then no matter how hard you work, it will be useless.

But now, the arrowheads presented by Du Juanqing are of better quality and higher precision.If all the iron mines in Yongxing County produced such raw iron, then they would be blessed in the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

The queen was instantly overjoyed. "Okay! Marquis Changning, how many arrows have you built?"

"My Majesty, because this type of arrowhead has just been produced not long ago, although the accuracy is good, but without your will, I dare not make more, so I only asked people to make two or three hundred pieces, and they are still placed in the mine. In the armory. However, many raw iron stones that can forge such arrowheads have been dug out, and they are all piled up there. They can let go of the forging when you give an order. At least one month can be cast again. A thousand come." Du Juan replied firmly.

"it is good!"

These words are simply too much for the Queen's appetite.She immediately shouted: "Since this arrow is so useful, it should be forged. I will give you an order to allow you to do it!"

"My minister, thank you Your Majesty!" Du Juanqing hastily cupped his hands in salute.

Transformation of more lethal arrows, and he can also provide large quantities of raw iron stone large-scale forging, this is definitely a great credit to the court.

The queen was in a good mood, and even looked at Du Juanqing with a much softer look.She quickly waved to Du Junqing again, and asked him about the iron mines in Yongxing County and the process of forging these arrowheads.

Du Juanqing naturally explained everything.

The queen nodded when she heard this: "Ai Qing, you have been there for a year, and you have suffered enough in that remote land, but you have contributed such a magical weapon to our Great Zhou Dynasty. Sure enough, I did not misunderstand you from the beginning! "

Listen to what she has to say!One mouthful of love for Qing, and Du Juanqing was almost dragged to sit beside her, and the two of them had a long talk all night long!

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the Zhang Changzong brothers hurriedly said, "Isn't it? The Marquis of Changning has taken advantage of the natural advantages of this iron mine. Before the weapons for the court were produced, he had already dug out the best raw iron." , and gave his guards a set of big knives. The king of Xin'an suffered enough from these knives!"

After Wu Chonglie was forced out of Yongxing County because of his embarrassment at their place, he quickly sent a letter to Wu Sansi, accusing Du Juanqing of forging weapons for himself and abusing force.Wu Sansi handed over the letter to the queen, so as the queen's male favourite, their brothers naturally knew about it.

Now, they are using this to criticize Du Juanqing.

When the Queen heard this, her eyes darkened as expected. "Marquis Changning, do you have anything to explain about this matter?"

Look, although she was still somewhat dissatisfied with this matter, after seeing those arrows, she was not so angry after all. Now her attitude towards Du Juanqing was much gentler, and her tone of speech was not so harsh.

Du Juanqing immediately replied: "Your Majesty, I have indeed made use of the geographical advantage to forge a batch of new weapons for my guards in Yongxing County. It was originally my fiefdom, and the iron ore was produced in Ivy." In the fief, is it not possible for the minister to choose some of them for his own use? Moreover, the minister did not embezzle much, but only allocated a handful for the guards. These are just a drop in the bucket for the output of the iron mine itself. , is nothing."

After a pause, he continued: "As for the fact that the king of Xin'an said that the humble officials trained private soldiers, that's true. After all, there is an iron mine in Yongxing County, and now a new type of arrowhead has been forged. If there is no accident, more weapons will be forged there in the future, and then shipped to all parts of the world. Now many young people must have their eyes on it. If I don't hurry up to train troops and guard the important passes, why wait? Do you take action after being looted by others? Besides, the recruitment of private soldiers by humble ministers is also completely in line with regulations, and the number of people has not exceeded the upper limit set by the court. Your Majesty, please be careful!"

Every word and every word, he spoke sonorously and powerfully, with full confidence.

Indeed, the laws of the Tang Dynasty stipulated that any feudal lord could reserve a certain amount of private soldiers in his fiefdom.Among them, there are 3000 princes, 600 county kings, [-] princes, and [-] princes.Du Juanqing didn't care much about Yongxing County before, so the number of private soldiers in reserve was not many, a hundred as high as the sky.Then go there now, in order to protect the iron mines, he immediately recruited troops to make up for the six hundred, which is also reasonable.In addition, equip these [-] people with weapons...

At first glance, this matter seemed to be very vigorous, but after careful calculation, all actions of Du Juanqing were completely within the limits set by the imperial court, and did not exceed at all.

So of course he was very calm.

The two Zhang Changzong brothers were choked up, and they couldn't help but muttered in a low voice: "This is just on the surface, who knew how many people and things you hid in those mountains in private?"

"His Majesty!"

Hearing this hehe, Du Juanqing immediately raised his voice and shouted: "Your Majesty, as the Jingzhao Du family, I have restrained myself since I was a child. I never dared to rest on the achievements of my ancestors, let alone rely on my ancestors. The achievements of the ministers have been reckless. The reputation of the ministers is well known to everyone in the capital. How can the ministers be the ones who seek power indiscriminately? The Zhang brothers have repeatedly slandered the ministers, and the ministers refuse to accept! Please, Your Majesty, uphold justice for the ministers !"

In an instant, he pointed his head at the Zhang brothers, and he was outspoken.

The Zhang brothers were startled when they heard the words, but they were not afraid. Instead, they pretended to squeeze out two tears, pretended to be pitiful, and said to the queen: "Your Majesty, it seems that our brothers think too much, and we also think too much for Your Majesty." You have thought too much, so you offended Marquis Changning! Now that Marquis Changning has proved himself innocent, it is indeed our fault. Please punish us severely, Your Majesty. Don’t be lenient. You must let Marquis Changning do enough. It's good to be angry!"

It wasn't long before Her Majesty got them, and when she was being served by these two people, she was so comfortable physically and mentally, how could she be willing to be cruel to them?
Especially now seeing the pear blossoms and rainy appearance of the two brothers, although they are not little ladies, this appearance is also very attractive, the queen's heart is so soft that it is a mess.

"Okay." She immediately lowered her voice, "Marquis of Changning, Li Lang and the others just mistrusted you, but have they done anything to harm your interests? Why should you get angry with them? I am very happy that you made an contribution in offering the arrow this time. Now tell me, what reward do you want? As long as you want, I can give it to you!"

Is this intended to seal his mouth with rewards so that he will give up attacking the Zhang brothers?
Du Juanqing's eyes were slightly cold.

However, he also understands that the Zhang brothers have the umbrella of Her Majesty the Queen, and they cannot be shaken by his own strength.Even, if it wasn't because his arrow was indeed useful and won the empress's praise, the empress would probably have taught him a lesson just because of his insulting words to the two brothers just now!

Now the queen can give him a little favor in order to appease him, he should be thankful.

Thinking of this in his heart, Du Juanqing slowly lowered his head. "Your Majesty, I don't want to reward you. I only hope that you can spare my wife and never pursue her and her grandfather's deception in the past. I will be satisfied."

When the queen heard this, her eyes immediately turned cold again. "Marquis Changning, since you know this, you should know that her grandfather committed the crime of deceiving the emperor! Moreover, he has been fleeing for many years after committing the crime, and he has been refusing to come back to accept the crime for a long time. Wait. If I didn't hold everyone in their family accountable, it would be an extrajudicial favor. Could it be that now, I can't even hold his descendants accountable? If I really do this, then everyone in the world will Don't everyone think I'm easy to bully, and if anyone comes to deceive me, then I won't be able to sit firmly on the throne!"

To put it bluntly, what she cares about is her face and her status.

Du Juan took a deep breath. "Then if Wei Chen says, Wei Chen can offer you an improved Mo Dao immediately?"

The queen suddenly regained her spirits.

"You mean... Mo Dao?"

"Yes!" Du Juanqing nodded, "Wei Chen's wife has recruited many well-known swordsmiths for me. After studying the iron ore in Yongxing County, they found that there is a place where the ore is made of Momo." It is an excellent material for the knife. Moreover, they have already tried to make one this year, and that Mo knife is a bit lighter than the ordinary Mo knife, but the momentum and power of the slashing past have not weakened in the slightest. And This is just a tool for experimentation, and they will definitely continue to conduct in-depth research on the basis of this Mo Dao, trying to make the Mo Dao lighter or increase its lethality."

His words immediately attracted the exclamation of Qianniuwei next to him.

It should be noted that since the founding of the country, the Modao team has been Datang's big killer.But the Mo Dao is too heavy, and the blade is too long, and ordinary people can't even lift it, let alone walk and slash on the battlefield wielding a big sword.Therefore, it is already very good to have a 200-member Modao team in a Duhufu.

For a long time, the Ministry of War has also been working on researching a lighter and easier-to-use Mo Dao.But once the weight is light, the cutting power of Mo Dao will be greatly weakened, and the original effect will be lost at all.So until now, the Mo Dao used in the army is still the long and heavy style.

And now, listen to what Du Juanqing said?
They actually made a lighter Mo Dao?Moreover, this lightweight Mo Dao was made under the auspices of Gu Caiwei by inviting someone to come over!

His implied meaning was naturally well understood by everyone present - since Gu Caiwei took the lead in this matter, if something happened to Gu Caiwei, who would be willing to stay and continue to work among those swordsmiths who came here for Gu Caiwei's sake?They will definitely go!Once they left, this half-studied matter would come to an abrupt end, and all the energy they put in before would be in vain, and such a big achievement right now would come to naught before everyone's eyes!
The queen is the lord of a country, how could she just watch such a thing happen?
Therefore, the empress couldn't help but her eyes darkened again, she stared at Du Juanqing quietly without speaking.

Brother Zhang Changzong couldn't help but said at this time: "Marquis Changning, you have exaggerated your wife's role too much. She is a little lady, how can she have such a great ability to command so many people? Besides, now that they have If you submit to you, then you are the people of the imperial court. As long as you have to give them enough money, isn’t it enough to persuade them to continue working for the imperial court?”

But as soon as their words fell, the queen scolded in a deep voice: "If you don't understand these things, don't talk nonsense!"

The Zhang brothers paused immediately, and then heard Shangguan Wan'er softly say: "Those famous master swordsmiths are mostly people of high morals and high prestige. Money is not lacking in fame. Nowadays, it is impossible to ask them to come out of the mountains, coercion and temptation, they can only be willing. Therefore, the people who can invite them out of the mountain are extraordinary people, and such people are generally irreplaceable. But you It would be a shame to keep threatening them with money and His Majesty's prestige. It's good for them to refuse bluntly, but if it really angers the master, let him do something... then it will be regrettable!"

"Is it so mysterious?" Zhang Yizhi was very unhappy after being taught, and muttered in a low voice.

Shangguan Wan'er just shook her head.

The queen also looked at Du Juanqing. "If this is the case, then it seems that the only way for me to forgive your wife is now. But!"

Immediately, her voice sank again. "Marquis Changning, you'd better not deceive me. You'd better get them to forge the improved Mo Dao as soon as possible and send it to me, otherwise I can also use the crime of deceiving the king to kill all of you from the Jingzhao Du family. It's gone!"

Du Juanqing quickly lowered his head. "I don't dare! Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely urge them to forge iron tools day and night, and try to send the finished Mo Dao over by the end of the year!"

With a deadline, the queen is satisfied.

"Forget it, you have just returned to Chang'an, and you must be tired from traveling along the way. Now that you have explained everything clearly, you should go back and rest quickly! Another day, when you have had enough rest, I will call you into the palace again, with the people from the Ministry of War Let’s discuss this together.”

At this time, her tone softened a lot.

Since she didn't mention Gu Caiwei's name again, it was natural to let her go.

Du Juanqing was overjoyed, he hurriedly took the opportunity to leave, and went to pull Gu Caiwei. "Ma'am, we should go home."

"Master Hou..." Gu Caiqin has been curled up in the corner, seeing the queen getting angry again and again, with the Zhang brothers in the middle sowing discord, the flames are about to spread to her head several times!But that was blocked by Du Juanqing.Especially now that Du Juanqing finally convinced the queen, he even came to her in person and extended his hand to her!

She has never seen such a gentle and affectionate him before, and Gu Caiwei's heart is about to melt.

All kinds of things came to her heart just now, Gu Caiqin's eyes were red with grievance, and two bean-sized teardrops were also rolling in her eye sockets, and they were about to fall down.

She thinks she is so cute and pitiful, and she is very good at attracting men's love.But Du Juanqing was already impatient.

He directly stretched out his hand to pull him up, and strode out.

Gu Caiqin quickly put away her tears, and ran all the way to barely keep up with his pace.

However, seeing them gone, the Zhang brothers were still full of dissatisfaction.

"Your Majesty, did you really let them go like this? They did so many bad things to the lords of the Wu family in the past half a year. Are you really planning to let the past go? The lords of the Wu family have all been hurt so badly!"

Ever since they followed the queen, the Wu family headed by Wu Sansi and Wu Chengsi have been flattering around them all day long, serving them comfortably.Naturally, in return, they also blew a lot of pillow wind into the queen's ears, praising the Wu family again and again.The reason why they were full of malice towards Du Juanqing this time was not only to avenge their previous bullying by Gu Caiwei, but also to vent their anger on the Wu clan.

Unexpectedly, Du Juan was stunned to put this matter aside directly with four or two strokes of force.

When the queen heard the words, she squinted at them again: "The king of Gaoyang County and others are arrogant and domineering, and they have bullied many people in Chang'an. I have known this for a long time. It's just that they are not evil in nature, and they have not done anything. I just turned a blind eye to pretend not to know about the terrible incident of murder and arson, but this does not mean that I really intend to indulge them to the end! They dared to behave in front of the Marquis of Changning, and then the Marquis of Changning caught them and taught them a lesson Well, it’s their own incompetence, and they can only blame themselves. I will eat the consequences of my own actions, and I don’t care about that!”

The Zhang brothers were shocked at once - it turned out that His Majesty knew all about their little thoughts!It's just that in front of Du Juanqing and his wife just now, she was too lazy to expose them.

But now, the empress is clearly unhappy, because they have taken too much control!
The two brothers quickly shrank their shoulders, and quickly changed the topic just now, and they both took the initiative to lean towards the Queen, one holding her hand and pressing it on his chest. "Your Majesty, you are so fierce. I was so frightened that my heart was thumping! If you don't believe me, feel it!"

"That's right, Your Majesty, you actually murdered our brothers for the sake of outsiders. We don't accept it! We are the only ones in this world who admire you the most and hope to grow old with you, but you still murder us... Our hearts have been hurt!"

The two were sobbing, pestered the queen and began to act like a baby.

This is what the queen likes the most.

She immediately put away the coldness on her body, wrapped her arms around one of them, and began to coax them gently.

Seeing this, Shangguan Wan'er and others hurriedly retreated to the side, leaving this world for the queen and her male pet to have fun.

When the genius doctor Song Huan Song saw this, he naturally raised the corners of his lips slightly, and slowly backed away.

At this time, Du Juanqing and Gu Caiqin had already reached the gate of the palace.

Du Yi stepped forward and opened the curtain. "Master Hou, madam, please get in the car."

Du Juanqing turned his head to look at the woman who had been following closely behind him, and Gu Caiqin hurried over when she saw this. "Lord Hou..."

Such a flattering, pretentiously weak virtue is far from her straightforwardness.

Du Juan said goodbye to the beginning, and got into the car first. "Come on!"

"Okay!" Gu Caiqin nodded quickly, and hurriedly climbed up.

After getting in the car, she took the initiative to lean towards Du Juanqing again, but Du Juanqing shouted: "Stop!"

Gu Caiqin paused, and Du Juanqing immediately pointed to the corner farthest from him: "You sit there."

Gu Caiqin was stunned.

In the past, every time she and Du Juanqing went out together, Du Juanqing arranged for her to sit there.But since she became Gu Caiwei, the two of them are not...

"Master Hou, haven't we been sitting together kissing each other for more than a year?" She whispered, her words choked up again, "Look, I'm still me, but you Why does it seem like a different person?"

Hearing this, Du Juan's eyes turned cold.

He leaned over suddenly, put his face directly in front of Gu Caiqin, and stared straight into her eyes, making Gu Caiqin's hair stand up inexplicably.

Gu Caiqin's tears finally flowed out.

"Master Hou, what are you doing? Don't look at me like that, please? I'm scared!"

Her body was shaking now.

Only then did Du Juan back up a little. "You're not her." He said in a deep voice, "When are you leaving? Change her back?"

Gu Caiqin paused when she heard the words, a coldness flashed in her lowered eyelashes.

"Master Hou, this concubine doesn't know either. I don't even know what happened. In a daze, I lost consciousness, and then came back in a daze. I didn't understand what was going on. Woolen cloth!"

After speaking, she took the initiative to lean closer to Du Juanqing. "Master Hou, I'm so scared, do you think I've been haunted by a ghost?"

Du Junqing glanced over coldly again, and Gu Caiqin immediately stopped moving.

Du Juanqing didn't start. "It would be best if you really didn't know."

Gu Caiqin shook her shoulders again, and quickly lowered her head and stopped talking.

The carriage drove back to Hou Mansion in silence.

After getting out of the car, Du Juanqing couldn't help but look back at Gu Caiqin, but when he met those shrinking eyes, his heart that had just kindled a little hope sank heavily—it was still not her.

He turned around immediately. "Come here, take Madam back to rest."

"Master Hou, where are you going?" Gu Caiqin hurriedly asked upon seeing this.

"Go to the study, the Marquis still has a lot of things to do." Du Juanqing replied, and walked away without looking back.

Seeing this, Gu Caiqin bit her lip again, and then slowly entered the room.

There was nothing to say all night, and the atmosphere in the entire Hou Mansion was terribly suppressed.

That night, Du Juanqing didn't sleep at all.He first sorted out all the things he brought back from Yongxing County in the study, and then wrote a letter to explain the matter to the Minister of the Ministry of War, Qin Shiliu Langjun, Du Junhong and others, and then A plan for the next steps was drawn up.By the time I finish all this work, it will already be the climax of the moon.

The bright and clear moon hangs in the sky like a jade plate, casting streaks of silvery white hazy light towards the sky.The light shone in through the half-opened window, mixed with the cool night wind, which made Du Juanqing feel chills in his heart.

Looking up at the sky, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Did you just leave? You left me alone? You are a cruel woman!"

Then, he suddenly jumped up. "Du Ren, bring over all the books Ben Hou collected before!"

"Yes!" Du Ren quickly moved all the strange books that Du Juanqing collected when Gu Caiwei first appeared.In the second half of the night, Du Juanqing spent all his time studying these books.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

Du Juan flipped through the books all night, but he didn't find out why. Instead, because he kept staring at the words on the scroll by the candlelight, his eyes were red and bloodshot.

When Du Ren opened the door in the morning and came in, he was shocked. "Master Hou, you didn't close your eyes all night, did you?"

"She's not around, I always feel like something is missing in my heart, I can't sleep at all." Du Juanqing shook his head and said.

The implication is that he did not sleep.

Seeing his appearance, Du Ren was very worried. "Master Hou, you should hurry up and go to bed! Didn't Madam prepare sleeping pills for you? Take one and you'll be able to fall asleep."

"This is the medicine she made for me with her own hands. There are only a few of them. If I eat them all and he hasn't come back, then there will be even less of her things left here." Du Juanqing immediately shook his head.

Du Ren suddenly had nothing to say.

"But no matter what, you have to go to bed and lie down, even if you close your eyes and rest for a while, it's good." In the end, he could only persuade him like this.

But where can Du Junqing lie down?

This is also the place where he and Gu Caiwei lived together for half a year.Now that he is back, he still feels her smell everywhere, her figure, and he can still vaguely hear her laughter.But when he took a closer look, he realized that everything was just his illusion.

Under such circumstances, how could he lie down!

He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and stood up. "I just came back yesterday, and I haven't even had time to pay a visit to the Duke's mansion. If I don't go today, then I'm wrong. You go and ask someone to prepare the carriages and horses. Let's go to the Duke's mansion."

"Yes." Du Ren nodded quickly, "Then... Lord Hou, do you want to bring your wife with you?"

Du Juanqing paused again, and he slowly turned to look at Du Ren: "Have you visited her today? How is she?"

Du Ren shook his head.

Does that mean that people have not changed?

Du Junqing lowered his head in frustration. "I won't bring it. Madam has worked hard along the way, let her stay at the house to rest now, it's fine for Ben Hou to go alone."

Du Ren nodded quickly, and the master and servant tidied up quickly, and then went to Lai Guogong's mansion.

However, as soon as they left, a figure rushed up the courtyard wall of the Marquis of Changning's mansion.This figure was like a ghost, precisely avoiding the guards in the Hou's Mansion, and after a few ups and downs, it came to the backyard of the Hou's Mansion.

At this time, Gu Caiqin was already awake.

It's just that after waking up, she found that the Hou Mansion seemed to have changed the world.The maid beside her is gone, and even her favorite utensils and bedding have been replaced.Especially Liuli and Xiaofang'er!These two girls actually dare to despise her!
Yesterday, these two girls just ignored her, but this morning she ordered these two maids to help her wash and wash. The two maids still have the virtue of dying, so they just tidy up for her and let it go.

It really is the maids raised by that country girl Gu Caiwei, all of them are like wild horses, and they don't understand any rules!

"Okay, okay, you can go, leave me alone!"

She was so upset that she chased Liuli and the others away.

Liuli and Xiaofang'er were not willing to wait on them at first.Hearing this, they walked away without saying a word.

"Cut!" Seeing this, Gu Caiqin snorted again, "Just put on a show for me! Look back and see how I deal with you!"

only……

Turning back again, looking at the strangers in the room, she couldn't help stomping her feet again. "Gu Caiwei, how have you ruined my life?"

"You said it the wrong way. It should be you who ruined her life." Suddenly a voice came from the side.

Gu Caiqin hurriedly turned her head, only to realize that someone had sat on the window lattice behind her at some point.He was dressed in black, with a mask of fangs on his face, making it impossible to see his true face.

It's just that such a person appeared in front of him early in the morning, it was pitch black and miserable, Gu Caiqin immediately trembled with fright, she couldn't help but shouted at the top of her throat——

"Help! There is a ghost!"
