The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 678

After Gu Jiao returned to the outer city in the afternoon, she went to Tianxiang Pavilion to change Gu Chengfeng's medicine, and she got home very late.

As soon as he walked to the street that intersected with his own alley, he saw Ma Wang and Mr. Meng.

Ma Wang is different from the other horse in the family. He has to come out for a walk every day, otherwise he will lose his temper and bully another horse in the backyard.

When Ma Wang saw Gu Jiao, he decided not to sneak away from the old man.

It bit the rein, ran up to Gu Jiao, and handed the rein to Gu Jiao.

It wants to slip away from Gu Jiao.

...

The rain in the outer city came earlier and heavier than the inner city, it was a torrential rain, Gu Jiao and Mister Meng found a restaurant with a stable for shelter from the rain.

This avoidance lasted for more than an hour, and it was already dark.

"The rain has stopped." Gu Jiao said looking out the window.

Old Mr. Meng stood up: "Then go back quickly, don't go down again later."

Gu Jiao hummed: "I'm going to lead the horse."

The stable is next to the backyard of the restaurant, Gu Jiao led Ma Wang out.

There was a sound of horseshoes coming from far and near on the street, Gu Jiao didn't pay attention to it, the road is very wide, so there is no need to give way to anyone.

But when Gu Jiao led Ma Wang to the door of the restaurant, a child suddenly ran out of it.

Seeing that he was about to run under the horse's hooves, Gu Jiao jumped on her body and rolled to the other side of the street with the child in her arms.

The horse's hoof fell heavily, and at the place where Gu Jiao snatched the child, water splashed everywhere!

The man obviously also saw the child rushing out, he tightened the reins with all his strength, but he ran too fast, if it wasn't for Gu Jiao's pounce, the child would have died under his horse's hooves.

He looked coldly at the drenched teenager and child, and said fiercely, "Don't court death next time!"

Several of his companions chased after him, and one of them said: "Okay, let's go quickly, don't delay the matter."

"Hmph!" He grabbed the rein and hit the horse with a whip, causing the horse to fly away.

"Son! Son!"

A woman in the restaurant stumbled over.

Gu Jiao handed over the child to her.

When rolling in the water, Gu Jiao protected him with her body, except for his clothes being slightly wet, there was nothing serious about him.

"Thank you, young master! Thank you, young master!" The woman thanked the child repeatedly.

Gu Jiao didn't speak, and walked across the street calmly, and came to Mr. Meng: "Let's go."

Mr. Meng looked strangely at the few figures that gradually disappeared at the end of the street: "Weird, it's so late, what are the people in the Prince's Mansion going to do? Isn't that direction the south gate of the outer city? They're going out of Shengdu ?”

Gu Jiao said: "A few people from the Prince's Mansion just now?"

Mr. Meng nodded: "It's the Jinyiwei of the Prince's Mansion."

Although he didn't wear Jinyiwei's clothes, he had seen one of them in the Prince's Mansion.

Gu Jiao paused, and said: "There is murderous intent in their eyes, they are going to kill people."

She was a killer in her previous life and was very familiar with this state.

"Murder?" Mr. Meng frowned, and looked in the direction of the few people leaving again. Their speed was extremely fast, and they had long since disappeared from the street.

"That direction seems to be..."

imperial mausoleum.

The next day, the sky cleared.

Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun went to the academy to attend classes.

After winning another game, Gu Jiao deeply felt the enthusiasm of the students of the academy. From the moment she entered the gate of the academy, she felt as if she was walking a flowery road.

"Six Lang!"

"Six Lang!"

"Liulang Liulang! He's so handsome!"

Gu Jiao glanced at the welcome crowd.

...It doesn't have to be.

Wu Fuzi sympathized with everyone's hard work in the competition, so he didn't let them stay for training today. Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun returned home early.

As soon as they arrived at the door, a small glutinous rice dumpling swooped over.

"Jiaojiao!"

Gu Jiao caught him with one hand: "Clear air. Huh, the speed is faster again."

Xiao Jingkong raised his head and said cutely: "That's because I practice hard every day!"

Afterwards, he greeted Gu Xiaoshun: "Brother Xiaoshun!"

Gu Xiaoshun pinched his face.

Gu Jiao took his little hand and walked inside, looking around the main room while walking.

"Don't look, Xiao Heng is not here."

Accompanied by a familiar voice, Gu Chengfeng swaggered out from inside.

He glanced at Xiao Qing Kong, who was bouncing around while being led by Gu Jiao, and said, "I went to the inner city to pick him up."

Xiao Jingkong immediately said solemnly: "Jiaojiao, I don't have class today! I'm not playing truant!"

"En." Gu Jiao nodded in confidence.

With Xiao Heng here, you won't be allowed to skip school.

"Are you okay?" Gu Jiao asked Gu Chengfeng.

"Jiaojiao, I'm going to find Xiaoshi!" Xiao Jingkong tilted his head and said.

Gu Jiao touched his little head: "Go."

Xiao Jingkong ran over waving his little hands: "Little Eleven! Here I come!"

The mane of the horse king who was grazing in the backyard exploded, and the horse's body shook!

Immediately came to the millstone and put on the cover.

It's grinding!

The conversation between the two continued.

Gu Chengfeng raised his eyebrows and said, "My injury has long been fine. Didn't you also see it yesterday?"

Indeed, when Gu Jiao went to change Gu Chengfeng's dressing yesterday, she found that he had almost recovered.

Gu Jiao said: "It's just in time for you to come, and the wound's stitches will be removed in a while."

Gu Chengfeng: "..."

Gu Chengfeng was pushed into the room, and was disconnected by Gu Jiao without any resistance.

His martial arts has actually improved a lot this year, but compared to the speed at which this girl has improved, it is not enough.

What did this girl do? Skills are different every day.

Gu Jiao put down the scissors and started to pack things.

Gu Chengfeng said respectfully: "Why don't you ask me how I got into the inner city?"

Quickly praise me for my ability, quick praise!

Gu Jiao said: "Oh, Feishuang, the number one thief in the capital, stealing a child is not a problem."

Gu Chengfeng: What does it mean to steal a child out! Is he this kind of person!

But there is one thing to say, entering the Yan Kingdom is the most difficult, there is almost no possibility of sneaking in, and the checkpoints in the outer city of Shengdu are also strict, but it seems that as long as you enter, you will not be interrogated all the time.

After all, everything that should be blocked is blocked outside.

Gu Chengfeng felt that there was no sense of accomplishment in using words to Gu Jiao, because Gu Jiao would never pick up the memes thrown out by others, she was a cold talker and a chat stopper.

"Xu Fengxian gave me a new identity and an inner city talisman." Gu Chengfeng said.

Gu Jiao looked confused, even Gu Chengfeng has an inner city talisman?

"I want that too," she said.

"Then can you sing?"

Won't.

"Can you tell a book?"

Nor will it.

"Or do you know how to play?"

This she will.

"You are not allowed to beat up a group of stinky men."

Gu Jiao: "..."

She wants to beat.

Gu Chengfeng knew it would be like this, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, I have something serious to talk to you today."

"Say." Gu Jiao put the used cotton swabs into a special basket.

Gu Chengfeng said casually: "I have inquired about some news by accident during the past few days in Tianxiang Pavilion."

It would be modest to say that he had no intention of doing so. He was obviously racking his brains, trying his best to find out the news with his life.

"I'm listening." Gu Jiao put the used gauze into the same basket, and these things will be burned soon.

Gu Chengfeng said: "Is it the Nangong family who went to Zhaoguo to assassinate Xiao Heng last time?"

"Well, didn't you know?" Gu Jiao didn't hide this from him.

Gu Chengfeng continued: "But do you know that the Nangong family is very close to the Prince's residence, and Nangong Li is the Prince's confidant?"

The conversation between Nangong Li and the shopkeeper that I heard at the pawnshop that day flashed through Gu Jiao's mind——

"His Royal Highness was very angry, saying why he couldn't even do this little thing well."

"This is no small matter! General Ben lost an arm!"

So, the Highness the shopkeeper is talking about is the Crown Prince of Yan Kingdom?

Was it Prince Yan who wanted Xiao Heng's life?

Why did Prince Yan do this?

What is the relationship between Xiao Heng and the royal family of Yan Kingdom?

Gu Chengfeng said: "Both the Nangong family and the Han family belong to the prince's camp, but the relationship between the two families seems not to be harmonious."

He had suffered so much in the hands of the Han family, and it was inevitable that he would include the Han family when he inquired about the news.

He continued: "I heard that the two sons of the Han family were beaten one after another. Could it be the Nangong family who did it?"

Gu Jiao said: "No."

Gu Chengfeng asked strangely: "How are you sure it's not the Nangong family?"

Gu Jiao pondered for a moment, and said honestly, "Because, I did it."

The corner of Gu Chengfeng's mouth twitched, sure enough, this girl is still so courageous...

"Is there any other news?" Gu Jiao asked.

Gu Chengfeng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "It seems that there is no useful news for the time being."

He heard a lot of news in Tianxiang Pavilion, but most of them were gossip from aristocratic families. When the conversation before and after tea and dinner was acceptable, it was of little value.

"Oh, wait."

He suddenly thought of something, and said thoughtfully: "There is another important matter, the princess is coming back, it is said that the king allowed her to come back."

"Monarch, princess." Gu Jiao paused as she was arranging the small medicine box.

Seeing her pause, Gu Chengfeng couldn't help asking: "What's wrong with you?"

Gu Jiao said: "Ma'am, it may not be so easy to come back."

Gu Chengfeng asked: "Why?"

Gu Jiao looked at the medicines in the small medicine box and said, "I met the killer of the prince's mansion last night. If the princess wants to come back, then it should be to kill her."
