in the sound of swallows

Chapter 32 His Secret
Shen Guiyan was taken to the side hall by Mrs. Shen, and the opening remarks were not surprising at all.

"You are in Gu's mansion, do you support Ya'er properly?"

Shen Guiyan chuckled, still supporting her, she was going to pack her up and send her to another man's bed, it's good that she didn't take revenge immediately.

"What? You don't have the face to tell me?" Mrs. Shen snorted softly, "I know that Ya'er has been taking care of you in Gu's house, and even asked the kitchen to deliver good food to you, but in the end, you repay your kindness with revenge." , stole her job?"

The corners of Shen Guiyan's mouth twitched, but he didn't speak.Years of experience told her that it is useless to refute, nor is it useful to clarify.In the face of absolute arrogance and unreasonableness, the only thing to do is silence.

Mrs. Shen snorted coldly and said: "I have already said before, if you dare to embarrass Ya'er in the Gu residence, I will not make it easier for you."

Shen Guiyan smiled lightly, and looked up at her: "How does Madam plan to make Yan'er feel bad?"

Mrs. Shen was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect that she would raise her head and ask her such a question, she couldn't react for a while.Ruthless words are meant to scare people, so what can they really do?
"In the three days after returning home, Yan'er will serve her parents well and repay the kindness of nurturing." Shen Guiyan respectfully bowed to Madam Shen and said: "The rest of the matter, Yan'er has its own discretion, Madam don't have to worry about it."

"You..." Mrs. Shen stared at her: "You are really married, don't you have any scruples?"

"Yes." Shen Guiyan nodded, looked up at her and said, "What's more, Aunt Qin is dead, so why does Yan Er have any scruples? Are you right? Mother?"

Mrs. Shen's face changed slightly, and she turned her head away from her eyes.Shen Guiyan bowed and saluted: "Yan'er has gone back and settled down, mother take care."

After finishing speaking, he left the side hall without waiting for her answer.

Gu Chaobei outside had also left.

Mrs. Shen stood in the side hall, looking at Shen Guiyan's back with dark eyes.

Once Gu Chaobei returned to the Swallow Tower, he really lay down on her bed and went to sleep again.Shen Guiyan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sat on the edge of the bed to continue sewing her unfinished purse.

"I suddenly remembered." Gu Chaobei closed his eyes and said, "The first time I came back to see you, why did you have a dagger under your girl's pillow?"

The wound on his left shoulder is finally healed now, but the wound is too deep and scars are inevitable.It's a pity that he has a flawless body.

Shen Guiyan didn't lift her head: "Defend yourself."

There are too many moths in this yard. If you don't leave something for self-protection, how can you sleep peacefully?
Gu Chaobei opened his eyes and looked at her, feeling amused.The soft boudoir woman wants to defend herself?Well, although he was indeed taken by surprise at the beginning, who would be as shameless as him to break into a girl's boudoir?

Fourth Young Master Gu has a good understanding of himself.

Shen Guiyan didn't intend to say anything more, so Gu Chaobei didn't ask any more questions. After resting for a while, after lunch, the two of them went for a casual walk in Shen's residence.

"Sixth Young Master is still young, so don't worry about the future." Passing the courtyard of Wenqu Pavilion, he happened to meet Shen Guiwen studying with his master.

Although Shen Guiwen is young, he is also precocious, and his small face is full of seriousness: "No one sets the rules for seniors to enter politics. Congwen is interested in court affairs, and I only hope that my master will teach me everything." .”

Gu Chaobei raised his eyebrows.

The master is a celebrity invited by Master Shen, so he knows more than ordinary people. He sighed and said: "Now that the Wen family is in power, Wen has a scholar named Fu, and Wu has General Yuwen. Drought and floods are the most dangerous time for the country.”

Shen Guiwen smiled lightly: "So what, being an official or the people is not up to you, no matter who is the sky, the land is still the same."

The master was dumbfounded, Gu Chaobei smiled imperceptibly, and pulled Shen Guiyan forward.

"It's rare that your family has a good one."

"What is rare?" Shen Guiyan pointed to herself dissatisfied: "I am also good."

"Yes yes yes, you are great." Gu Chaobei said: "I'll ask someone to buy you some snacks later."

Shen Guiyan nodded, and couldn't help but look back at Shen Guiwen's courtyard. The master continued to say, "It's a pity that all the officials in the court are the Queen's faction, and there are no righteous people to defend the imperial power..."

She had met the Fu Xueshi he mentioned just now, but General Yuwen had only heard that the two were the Queen's right-hand men and helped the Queen interfere in political affairs.

Shen Guiyan remembered that the emperor had visited the prime minister's residence in person on the day of the wedding, and brought his favorite concubine Nian, who said he was wandering in the street, and dropped by.

If he really had imperial power, he probably wouldn't have the time to mess around like this.

"You go upstairs first, and I'll go to the study to rest for a while." Stepping into the range of the Swallow Tower, Gu Chaobei let go of Shen Guiyan's hand and said with a smile.

Shen Guiyan raised her eyebrows: "There are only books in the study."

"So what?" Gu Chaobei snorted, "If you fall asleep with a book on your pillow, you may even dream of the Golden House."

Shen Guiyan shook her head, turned around and went upstairs first.Seeing her go upstairs to close the door, Gu Chaobei put away his smile and turned to look at Zhuiyun: "Where's the person?"

"It's already in the study." Zhuiyun faintly sweated: "The slave is watching the wind, master go first."

Gu Chaobei cursed something in a low voice, looked around, and went to the study as nonchalantly as possible.

As soon as he entered, he was greeted with a punch.

Gu Chaobei swears loudly, walks sideways, grabs the man's hand with his backhand, and presses his knee heavily against his stomach.

Yuwen Changqing snorted and fell silent.

Gu Chaobei threw him away angrily, and said: "You are desperate, but don't drag others into the water. After three days of agreement, why do you have to go to Beijing early today?"

The person in front of him was more than [-] years old, and he had no rules than him. He leaned against the wall and smiled: "Isn't there something wrong? Hey, how dare you treat me like this every time you are a little young master of the Gu family. Fierce?" Yuwen Changqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm a celebrity in front of the queen."

"It's a man, don't talk about status, talk with your fists." Gu Chaobei raised his hands expressionlessly and clenched them into fists.

"Stop making trouble, I will risk coming here only if there is something urgent." Yuwen Changqing immediately became serious, stood up straight and whispered: "This time I brought one hundred thousand soldiers into Beijing, and I should have rested here. I’m from Wuzhen, but my superior ordered me to be stationed outside the capital.”

Gu Chaobei frowned: "Already arrived?"

"I came first, and the people behind should have some time." Yuwen Changqing said: "In a few days, it will be the queen mother's birthday. I don't know what the master has planned. Time is tight, so I have to come to you first to find a solution."

Today's world is really a pot of gruel. The queen and the emperor are fighting for power, and the fourth prince is fighting for the position of the sixth prince. They all have to keep an eye on the situation, for fear that something will go wrong and something will happen.

If heavy troops accumulate on the outskirts of the city, will they force the palace?But what reason does the queen have to force the palace?Without a title, what's the use of her being a woman who can't sit on the throne?

Gu Chaobei was silent for a long time, and said: "You should go and inform the master first."

Yuwen Changqing said dissatisfiedly: "Do you know how much pressure I came to find you? You even asked me to inform you?"

"...Then I'll send someone, you go out of the city first."

"Okay." Yuwen Changqing nodded, and looked him up and down by the way: "I heard that you are married, and you are still a pretty beauty."

Gu Chaobei's face darkened again: "What's the matter with you? Hurry up!"

"Oh, oh, don't be like this, at least it's a life-and-death relationship." Yuwen Changqing pulled the string of the window: "At least let me meet you?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Chaobei frowned: "If you reveal your whereabouts later, everything will be over for you."

Humming softly, Yuwen Changqing sat on the window and was about to turn out: "Then take care, I will discuss with you when I come to Beijing."

Gu Chaobei waved his hand.

How did he hook up with Yuwen Changqing? It’s too lazy to talk about it since a long time ago. The only thing I can say is that the two of them are now in the same camp, and only one person knows about their acquaintance. .

If the fourth person knew about it and leaked it out, a large number of people might die.

Yuwen Changqing has been guarding the south, and finally came back to the capital, and the whole person was a little bit wasted.He could have found Shen's mansion safely and without incident, but when he left the Swallow Tower, he kicked down a vase that a servant girl had placed outside to dry.

"Who is it?!" The servant happened to pass by the entrance of Yanzilou, and when he saw the man's shadow, he yelled.

Gu Chaobei in the study was startled, and hurriedly opened the door to look out.Yuwen Changqing's reaction was so quick that he ran up the Yanzi Tower immediately.

Gu Chaobei's face turned blue, he went up to scare Shen Guiyan, and screamed, isn't everything over?Did Yuwen Changqing only have eyes but not a brain?
Zhuiyun reacted quickly, pushed his master back into the study, then chased Yanzi upstairs and shouted: "Fourth young master!"

Three or four servants were standing under the Yanzi Tower, the person who heard the movement just now looked at Zhuiyun suspiciously: "Just now that person is dressed in black, doesn't he look like the Fourth Young Master?"

Zhuiyun calmly said: "My young master has changed his clothes, what's so strange?"

"Then why is he running?" Jia Ding muttered.

Zhuiyun stopped downstairs and said: "You don't need to take care of it, anyway, there is nothing here, you go first."

The family member couldn't hold back the people in the prime minister's mansion, so he just walked away with one step and three turns.Zhuiyun heaved a sigh of relief, and turned to open the door of the study, but the window inside was wide open, and his master had disappeared!
Upstairs on the Yanzi Tower, Shen Guiyan poked her own hand with a single needle, and looked at the person in front of her in amazement.

A man who came out of nowhere, dressed in black, with a neat appearance, handsome eyebrows and nose, very handsome.

This is much tougher than Gu Chaobei's white, tender and beautiful boy.

Yuwen Changqing was already ready to come up and cover his mouth, how could he know that the beauty in front of him was neither barking nor making trouble, so he looked at him curiously.
