in the sound of swallows

Chapter 57

Shen Guiyan looked at his nose and heart, shook his head and said, "I didn't hear anything."

"Really?" Gu Chaobei narrowed his eyes and moved closer to her: "Hiding under the bed all this time, why didn't you hear anything?"

I'm afraid she listened to all the conversations he had with those people, right?Those plans that not many people know, not even Yu Wen.

Shen Guiyan buried herself in the pillow in pain: "Ah, my back is hurting again, I need to rest for a while. The person next to me doesn't smell very good, so my husband should carry him to the soft couch next to him, and prevent the servants from coming in." That's it."

"Yan'er."

"I don't listen, I don't listen." Shen Guiyan covered her ears: "I don't have a good memory, and I forgot everything in a blink of an eye. It's useless for you to say anything."

Gu Chaobei didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he grabbed her hand and said, "You have a bad memory? Even everyone in the mansion can remember everything they like to eat, how can you have a bad memory?"

After stiffening for a while, Shen Guiyan sighed, looked up at him and said, "You don't have to worry too much, even if I hear a lot of things you shouldn't hear, it's okay. I'm married to you, and I will live and die with you." Together, why worry that I will harm you."

Married is married, in this life, if he prospers, she will prosper, and if he defeats her, she will also prosper. As early as the moment he bowed down at the wedding hall, their two lives were tied together.

It's just that he hides too many unknown secrets behind his back, and the relationship is very important, so he may not believe her that much.

After looking at her for a while, Gu Chaobei chuckled lightly and said, "Young lady, what do you mean, can you trust that you won't betray your husband?"

"Yes." Shen Guiyan nodded firmly, for fear of slowing down.

The gaze intertwined, Gu Chaobei was always smiling, but for some reason, Shen Guiyan saw some indifference in his eyes.

It's just that the cold thing touched her eyes, slowly melted, and slowly disappeared.After a while, he nodded and said helplessly: "Then I will trust you and give my life to you. My lady, don't let my husband down."

Relieved, Shen Guiyan smiled and nodded: "Yes."

The rascal smile returned to Gu Chaobei's face, he stretched out his hand and dragged the person on the bed to the soft couch, then went out and ordered the servants not to enter the room without instructions.

Baoshan didn't know where the strength came from, but he carried Zhuiyun on his back all the way, and ran desperately to the gate of the city. Fortunately, he had some copper coins on his body, and found a carriage to take Zhuiyun back to the mansion.

Not caring about going back to the main house to report, she was afraid that she had hit the wrong place, so she hurriedly went to the doctor to show Zhuiyun.

It didn't take long for Zhuiyun to wake up. After all, he was Lian Jiazi. Before the doctor put his hand up to feel the pulse, he had already pushed him away.

"What about the young lady?"

Baoshan patted his heart and looked at him: "Thank God, I didn't murder anyone."

Zhuiyun frowned, stood up and looked around, feeling cold all over: "You really brought me back alone?"

"You should thank me, okay?" Bao Shan rolled his eyes, "If it wasn't for my sudden supernatural power, both of us would have fallen into it."

"What about the rest?" Zhuiyun pushed the precious fan away, with anger on his face: "The dog knows how to protect the master, you are afraid of death and want to leave, why did you knock me out? If something happens to the young lady, How do you want me to explain to my master?"

Bao Shan was taken aback by his yelling, and he didn't even have time to open his mouth to explain.Zhuiyun got up and walked outside. When he got to the door, he looked back at her and said, "Next time you want to run away, don't take me with you. I'm not afraid of death."

The door was slammed shut heavily, Bao Fan trembled in fright, and stared at the door dumbfounded, unable to recover at all.

"He...he simply doesn't know good people." Bao Shan was so angry that his voice trembled: "Am I greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Dr. Liu next to him calmly wrote the prescription: "Young people are full of anger, I will prescribe a prescription for you to clear away the heat."

Bao Shan waved his hands with red eyes: "There is no need to waste medicine by prescribing him! If you are not afraid of death, just let him die, it's none of my business!"

Dr. Liu was taken aback, looked up at her, and muttered in a low voice, "Two copies have to be made."

Zhuiyun went to the door of the main house and knelt down, took a deep breath and shouted inside: "Slave Zhuiyun, come back and report to me."

Gu Chaobei was worrying about how to change clothes for the man in black, when he heard the voice, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly pulled him in: "Zuiyun, come and do something."

"Zuiyun has a heavy trust from the master." When he came in, he knelt down again, Gu Chaobei couldn't move, and stared at him: "What's wrong?"

Shen Guiyan also stood up to watch.

Without raising his head, Zhui Yun said: "The master asked the servants to escort the young madam, but... when he met a thief on the road, Bao Shan knocked the subordinate unconscious and brought him back. The young madam... is dead or alive."

Gu Chaobei was taken aback for a moment, or did he miscalculate, did not expect someone to attack Yan'er so early?Fortunately she didn't go.

"The treasure fan is back too?" Shen Guiyan asked.

"Yes..." Zhuiyun paused, then looked up after answering.

On the bed over there, the young lady, whose life and death are unknown, was lying on her stomach, and she said happily: "It's good to be safe, I'm still worried about her, let her come and help me."

Zhuiyun's eyeballs almost fell out: "Young Madam?!"

Isn't it on the carriage?Why are you in bed again?Zhuiyun was at a loss, what happened to the one on the carriage?

"Don't think about it, go and call Bao Shan in." Gu Chaobei patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "We were all put together by the young lady. Today is safe and sound, so let's go to everyone."

Zhuiyun couldn't react, but still obeyed the order, turned his head and went out to call Baoshan.

Bao Shan didn't need him to call, she had already come to the main house, passed by him, bumped his shoulder hard, then went in to accompany her young lady as if she didn't see anything.

He seems to have misunderstood something and offended someone?Zhuiyun patted his head and froze in place.

"Although the sixth prince's life is dying, it is said that he is not dead yet." Yuwen Changqing stood in a dark room, looked at Gu Chaobei and said, "Although the master has long wanted to kill the fifth prince, he doesn't want to be preempted by others." One step. I don’t know who it is, but it helped us a lot behind the scenes.”

"Well." Gu Chaobei responded casually, holding the autopsy report in his hand: "It doesn't matter who did it. Many people in the court oppose the queen's party. It is not surprising that they want to attack the sixth prince. But the case is very serious. It fell on the head of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, seeing what the queen means, I have to investigate the fifth prince's assassination case first, or I will still be dismissed?"

Yuwen Changqing clicked his tongue twice: "The Ministry of Punishment has always been a place full of disasters. Who told you to come here. The murderer who went to the palace last night either died or escaped. How do you investigate? Or hand it over to the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment Bar."

"That's right." Gu Chaobei said: "I have enough evidence in my hand, I don't want to procrastinate. I will go to the Emperor tomorrow to close the assassination case at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet."

"So fast?!" Yuwen Changqing was startled: "How do you plan to tie it?"

"The evidence is all here, so what more can I say?" Gu Chaobei said amusedly: "Most of the assassin's corpses are palace guards. Could it be that no one cares about the palace guards?"

"You mean... Shi Falong?" Yuwen Changqing frowned: "That's the emperor's man."

Gu Chaobei sneered, put away his things and put them in his sleeves, looked up at him and said, "I'm afraid you have been wandering around for a long time, and your brain is so stupid, who would talk about Shi Falong for nothing, the emperor is just relying on you Yes. If you want to know how to close the case, let’s go to the palace together tomorrow.”

Yuwen Changqing snorted coldly: "Who doesn't know that you, Fourth Young Master Gu, love nonsense the most. This case involves a lot. If you say you want to close the case so easily, what good will there be?"

Gu Chaobei smiled and said nothing, Yuwen was stupid, so don't blame him, after all, there are not many people like him who are handsome and smart, with both wisdom and beauty.

The emperor gave him a difficult problem, and everyone in the world thought it was a difficult problem, that is, whether to sue the queen or not?
But as Yan'er said, there must be a way for a car to reach the mountain. When he arrived at the mountain, he found the way.

The next day, Gu Chaobei got up early to prepare to enter the palace, and the whole family looked at him worriedly from the prime minister to Zhuiyun.

Shen Guiyan was not too nervous, she continued to sleep on her stomach after breakfast, and she would be able to get out of bed after two more days.

Before Gu Chaobei left, he even kissed her forehead, Shen Guiyan just said as usual: "Come back soon."

"it is good."

For the first time, he wore court clothes in a serious manner, and sat in an official sedan chair to go to court.Facing the emperor's gaze, he didn't panic too much, he just asked someone to present the things in his hand.

"As for the assassin's treason case at the Empress Dowager's birthday banquet, I already have some clues. Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

The emperor sat on the dragon seat, looked at him deeply, then took the presented file, opened it and looked at it.

Everyone was talking in low voices.Now that there is a prince, and the sixth prince is assassinated again, if the assassination of the emperor involves the East Palace again, will the world be in chaos?
Prime Minister Gu looked at the emperor seriously, and Yuwen Changqing next to him was also very curious.

The emperor nodded while watching, and frowned suddenly when he saw the end.

Prime Minister Gu's heart skipped a beat, but Gu Chaobei still knelt down calmly.

"How?" A voice came from the screen behind the dragon's seat to ask, and he knew who it was without looking.The emperor took the dossier and looked at Gu Chaobei several times, then smiled lightly and asked the dossier to be sent behind the screen.

"Gu Aiqing is really smart."

The officials were at a loss, if the case was solved, how could they be boasting about being smart?If it's not broken, how can you still boast?
Gu Chaobei smiled rascally: "I have tried my best, and the person who is found is of great importance. I wonder if the emperor is satisfied?"

Prime Minister Gu glared at him, turned his head to look up, and was also curious about what he wrote.

"It is said that Hu Chang, the deputy commander of the Yulin Army, is going to the palace!" the emperor said suddenly.

The eunuch next to him was taken aback for a moment, and then passed on the message.Yuwen Changqing raised his eyebrows, how could it be him?
Huchang is the queen's confidant, and he has been working in the palace all year round. After a while, he was brought over and knelt down at the Highness, very dazed: "Chen Huchang pays homage to the Holy Majesty."

The emperor looked at him with a smile, and said, "Deputy Commander Hu, are you guilty?"
