Chapter 253 Suspicion

Chen Xue picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Gu Huayu, then raised her head and drank all the wine in the bowl.

Gu Chengnan said: "Fortunately, Xiaoyu specializes in studying medical books and has adjusted his body well. Xiaoyu, my second brother respects you."

Gu Huayu picked up the bowl and touched it, "Thank you, second brother."

Gu Chengnan said: "Thank you for nothing. I just hope you can find out the truth as soon as possible and avenge your father and mother."

Gu Huayu took a sip of wine, put down the wine bowl, picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks, put it into her mouth, chewed it twice before saying: "I hope, more than ten years have passed, and the clues have been cut off. This is not easy, and we can't rush it." ”

Chen Xue looked at Gu Huayu and asked: "Princess, what happened back then, and what happened behind the scenes..."

Gu Huayu looked up at her, nodded and said, "Yes, what we see is just the surface. The Long Shadow Guard is used by the royal family, and it is related to the royal family. There is no way to avoid the struggle between imperial power and the party. There are too many people involved behind this, and it is intricately linked... It’s been so many years, so it’s not easy to find out.”

Gu Chengnan thought for a while and said, "If this is the case, Xiaoyu, you should pay attention to your safety."

Gu Huayu said: "Second brother, don't worry. Only by protecting yourself can you avenge your parents. I won't let anything happen to me."

Chen Xue looked at Gu Huayu, then at Qingyu and Gu Chengnan beside her, and swallowed the words on her lips.

 The four of them drank up the two jars of wine, and Gu Huayu and Chen Xue drank even more.

Qingyu asked Gu Chengnan not to be scared, but he got drunk first, and Gu Chengnan sent him back to the house.

The next day, Gu Huayu woke up at the end of the morning. She originally planned to go back to have lunch with Lu Ziqin, but it seemed that she couldn't make it.

Drinking in the secret passage really messed things up.

Gu Huayu had lunch at Zhuangzi and played with Chu Yi for a while before heading back to the city.

As the carriage arrived at the city gate, Qing Yu saw many soldiers at the gate and said, "Princess, the city gate has been fortified. There are many more soldiers. Something may have happened in the city."

Gu Huayu raised the curtains and looked at the city gate. After a moment, she said: "It seems that you are not allowed to go in but not allowed to go out."

Qingyu nodded and said, "Yes, I only saw people coming in, but no one leaving."

Gu Huayu put down the curtain and said, "Let's go into the city and find out something."

The city was suddenly closed. Could it be that Han Shi and others took action and succeeded? If so, Han Shi is simply a man of action, doing things vigorously and resolutely!

Qingyu raised his riding whip and responded: "Yes!"

As the car entered the city, Qing Yu slowed down the car and asked the people around him, "Old man, why are there so many officials at the door?"

The old man turned to look at Qing Yu and said, "You didn't know that such a big thing happened last night? Are you the first time you arrived in the capital?"

Qingyu nodded repeatedly and flattered him casually: "The old man has really sharp eyes. The younger one has just entered the city and is here to visit relatives."

Being praised, the smile on the old man's face visibly rose, and his voice softened a lot, "Last night, I don't know who killed five people and placed them at the entrance of the Prime Minister's Mansion in Baokangmen.

This morning, the Prime Minister's servants saw it and reported it to the officials, who ordered the city to be sealed.

 Young man, there have been frequent incidents in Beijing recently, and it is indeed a troubled time.

Just the day before yesterday, the sixth master of the British government was assassinated. Before the murderer could be caught, something happened again in the Prime Minister's house.

Young man, stay home well and try to go out as little as possible. "

Qingyu bowed and thanked: "Thank you, old man, for reminding me."

Qingyu drove forward for a while, and Gu Hua said, "Go directly to the west of the city. I'll change Master Liu's dressing first."

Qingyu couldn't restrain her inner excitement: "Princess..."

Gu Huayu stopped him and said, "Drive the car well. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it when we get home."

Qingyu nodded and said, "I'm confused."

Qingyu drove to the west of the city. When the car arrived at Qingkeju, Ruji came to greet him and shouted excitedly: "Master!"

Gu Huayu asked: "How long have you been waiting?"

Ruji said: "Little Chenshi has been waiting here. Master, something happened in the Prime Minister Wang's Mansion!"

Gu Huayu nodded and said lightly: "Well, I heard someone say it when I entered the city."

Qingyu took over the words, "The city gate is sealed now, no one is allowed in or out."

Qingyu and Ruji were chatting, and Gu Huayu went into the house to tidy up after herself.

 Soon, Gu Huayu, dressed in men's clothing, entered the British palace with Qing Yu.

Entering Shuying Garden, Gu Huayu heard the British Duke's voice and said to Ruji: "The British Duke is here, let's not go in yet."

 Ruji looked around and asked, "The Duke is here? How did the master know?"

After saying that, Ruji walked to the concierge and asked, "Dayong, is the Duke of the country here?"

Dayong nodded and said, "Yes, it's been a quarter of an hour."

 Ruji turned his head and gave a thumbs up to Gu Huayu, "Master's hearing is amazing."

Gu Huayu smiled but said nothing.

Ruji took Gu Huayu around to the backyard of Shuyingyuan. After the British father left, the two of them entered the main house.

When Lu Ziqin saw Gu Huayu coming in, he raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "Have lunch at Zhuangzi and set out?"

Gu Huayu nodded and said sheepishly: "Yes, I got up late this morning."

Lu Ziqin just thought that she was tired from running back and forth these days, "You have been working hard these days, so you should take a good rest."

Gu Huayu walked to the bed and sat down, "Did the British father come to question you?"

Lu Ziqin shook his head and said, "Have you questioned me? He came here to find out what happened."

 Gu Huayu thought it was too funny, and said angrily: "Trying to talk? What does he want? You were almost killed, and instead of helping you, he came to check on you. Is he your biological grandfather?"

Lu Ziqin felt warm when he saw Gu Huayuan speaking angrily for him. He stretched out his hand to hold her hand, "Don't be angry. It's not worth it to be so angry. He only has interests in his eyes. I've long been used to it."

Lu Ziqin's words made Gu Huayu even more heartbroken. She tightened Lu Ziqin's hand and said, "In the past, I couldn't control how they bullied you. In the future, they will never bully you again."

Lu Ziqin's heart suddenly softened into a puddle of water, and he said: "Okay, I will just follow the gossip from now on. Okay, don't be angry anymore!"

As he spoke, Lu Ziqin took out his hand and pinched Gu Huayu's nose. Then he said: "

In the past few days, I have been lying on the bed, surrounded by people like Xuan, Yan and Ji. I have never left the British government residence, so it is useless for him to be suspicious. "

Gu Huayu asked: "Where's Ru'an? Why haven't you seen Ru'an these days?"

Lu Ziqin replied: "Ru'an was sent out to do some work by me and is not in the capital."

Gu Huayu said oh and didn’t ask any more questions.

Lu Ziqin said: "The incident in Wang Xiang's Mansion alarmed the court. The emperor was furious in the morning. He reprimanded Liu Fuyin in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and assigned Dali Temple to investigate the case strictly."

Gu Huayu smiled and said: "Ruan San was a retainer of the Prime Minister Wang's Mansion, but he died at the door of the Prime Minister Wang's Mansion. It is time for a thorough investigation. I want to see if the Prime Minister Wang can withstand the investigation."

Lu Ziqin smiled and said, "What are you thinking about, you little idiot?"

Gu Huayu said: "I'm thinking about how to help Dali Temple. Li Tao's father is the young minister of Dali Temple. Should I ask Li Tao for tea?"

Lu Ziqin blurted out: "Xiao Yu, you are not allowed to see Li Tao alone!"

Gu Huayu raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you jealous?"

Lu Ziqin didn’t mind the embarrassment and said truthfully: “Well, I’m jealous.”

Gu Huayu didn't expect that he deserved to be so smooth. She couldn't say more and just said, "Okay, I'll take Qingyu and the others with me when I see him."

 “Take me with you when you see him.”

Gu Huayu smiled and said, "Why don't I reassure you?"

Lu Ziqin shook his head and said solemnly: "I am very relieved about you, but I am not worried about Li Tao. I have to go and take a look."

Gu Huayu had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll take you with me when I see him."

When Lu Ziqin saw Gu Huayu agreeing, he said dotingly: "How good!" Then he brought the topic back: "What happened last night may frighten them. Xiaoyu, next time, you have to be more cautious, I'm worried that they may have something to do with it." action."

Gu Huayu said: "You can rest in peace and recuperate, don't worry about this. Even if they are suspicious of me, I am not afraid of them. Don't talk, I will take your pulse."

 Lv Ziqin shut his mouth in cooperation.

Gu Huayu checked the pulse and then checked the wound, which was already scabbed. He said: "It takes other people half a month to get better, but you will be better in three days."

 Lv Ziqin looked down at the wound and asked, "Can I get out of bed and move around freely?"

 Gu Huayu nodded, "Okay, you'd better not go out. Dr. Hu has seen your wounds."

As he spoke, Lu Ziqin stood up and said, "Nothing, I'm just walking around in Shuying Garden."

 At the Prime Minister's Mansion, Mrs. Shangguan got up at midnight and learned that Miao Ershui, Wang Xin, Liu Si, Huang Xing and Ruan were killed and their bodies were thrown to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She fainted.

 The whole house was suddenly so busy that everyone was on their feet.

The Prime Minister went to court to receive the letter from his family and rushed back home.

As soon as he entered the door, he asked: "Has the doctor come over? How is the old lady? Have you woken up?"

The servant bent his knees and said: "Back to Prime Minister, the doctor has come over to treat the old lady. The old lady has woken up, but she has not spoken."

 The Prime Minister went to Anfu Hall, with his three sons and three daughters-in-law waiting beside him.

When everyone saw the king come in, they all gave him greetings.

 Wang Xiang asked: "You haven't spoken yet?"

The eldest son Wang Houzhe leaned forward and said, "Go back to father, mother has not spoken yet."

The king saw that the room was full of people and said, "Since everyone is awake, it's all right. Let's all go back."

After everyone left, Wang Xiang walked to the bed, stretched out his hand to hold Mrs. Shangguan's hand, and said: "You and I have been through hardships for decades, what have you not experienced? What happened today? You were frightened by such a trivial matter. "

 Old Madam Shangguan turned her head to look at Wang Xiang, then looked at Grandma Yang.

Mother Yang understood and came over and took the servant out.

 Mrs. Shangguan waited for the servants to step back, took her hand out of Wang Xiang's hand, and tried to sit up.

Wang Xiang hurriedly stretched out his hand to support me, put a pillow behind Mrs. Shangguan, and asked, "Do you have something to say to me?"

Mrs. Shangguan nodded and said, "Master Xiang, Lu Liu is not simple."

After not speaking for a long time, Madam Shangguan's throat became dry and hoarse when she spoke.

 Wang Xiang stood up and poured a glass of water over. He handed the tea cup to Mrs. Shangguan and said, "Drink some water."

 Mrs. Shangguan took two sips from the hand of the Prime Minister, and her throat felt much better.

Wang Xiang casually put the cup on the bedside table and asked, "What's wrong with Lu Liu?"

 Mrs. Shangguan told the king in detail what happened before.

After Wang Xiang heard this, he was silent for a moment and said: "So, Lu Liu knows that this assassination was ordered by you."

Mrs. Shangguan leaned on the head of the bed, her eyes fell on the pattern of the curtain, and she said quietly: "When he threw the body at the door, didn't he tell me that he knew everything I did?

I don’t understand, how did he know? It has only been three days since the incident happened. Neither the Jingzhao Mansion nor the Military and Horse Division found out, so how could he know? "

 Old Madam Shangguan asked herself over and over again, this was something she couldn't figure out.

 Wang Xiang thought for a while and said, "I don't think it was necessarily Lu Liu who did this."

Mrs. Shangguan turned to look at Wang Xiang and asked, "Isn't it Lu Liu?"

The Prime Minister nodded, "That day, even if Lu Liu was not hit critically, the poison on the arrow was still very poisonous.

Lu Liu was poisoned and his life or death was uncertain. His people should rush to try to save him instead of tracking down the murderer. "

After Wang Xiang mentioned it, Mrs. Shangguan frowned even more tightly, and then murmured: "If it's not Lu Liu, who could it be?"

The couple fell into deep thought, looked at each other at the same time, and said in unison: "Is it the emperor?"

Mrs. Shangguan said: "It should be him, and it can only be him. Otherwise, who else has this ability?"

The king thought for a while and said: "If it is really the emperor, then why is he so angry in the court today?

The emperor also ordered Dali Temple to conduct a thorough investigation. Judging from the emperor's angry expression, it didn't look like he was pretending. "

Mrs. Shangguan said: "If it's not the emperor, who can it be? Who has such ability? This man is so powerful that it makes people feel scared."

The Prime Minister rubbed his beard with his hand and nodded slightly, "I will investigate this matter. Don't think too much about it, and don't make any random moves again."

 Mrs. Shangguan leaned back and said: "Seeing the third girl being bullied by a country girl, how can I not think more..."

After Shangguan’s old lady said this, she sat up straight again, looked at the king and asked, “Mr. Xiang, could it be that wild girl?”

 The Prime Minister paused his hand and said, "It's very possible! It's not easy for her to return to Beijing."

 Mrs. Shangguan recounted what happened at the flower party at Huaqing Palace yesterday.

Finally, he said: "I asked the third girl. When the wild girl took action, she was three to four feet away from her and Sister Yi, and the rice cake flew steadily to her and Sister Yi's heads as if it had eyes. Everyone present was so shocked that their eyes widened.”

 Wang Xiang frowned slightly and said, "It is really not easy for a girl to have such skills.

She must have learned and practiced hard since she was a child. Looking back, I asked someone to check this girl out.

You have to tell the three girls not to provoke this wild girl before marrying into the Xian Prince's house, so as not to cause trouble. "

Mrs. Shangguan nodded, "I understand, I will take good care of the third girl and won't let her get into trouble again."

 The King nodded and said, "This is best. The matter has come to an end and there is no point in thinking too much. You can have a good life and I will take care of the rest."

Mrs. Shangguan nodded in agreement, "Okay, I understand."

The British Duke came out of Shuyingyuan and ordered Du Bin: "Prepare the car, I want to go out."

Du Bin turned around and was about to give instructions when a servant came over and said, "My lord, the wise king has come over."

Yingying hurriedly went out to welcome him, and met the Xian Wang who had just gotten off the car at the screen wall.
