Xiaojingkong didn't go home until it was almost dark. When he came in, he took a deep breath and cleaned up his little mood. Jiaojiao couldn't see him sad for Xiaojin.

He poked his dimple, raised his smiling face, and came into the room!

Gu Jiao finished chopping firewood and cleaning up the herbs. When she looked back, she saw the little guy jumping over.

"Back?" She said.

"Well!" Xiaojingkong ran over and stretched out a pair of short arms, "Jiaojiao, I'll take it for you!"

"You take this." Gu Jiao scooped a small ladle of herbs from the big basket for him.

"Good!" Xiaojingkong happily picked up the ladybug and went back to the main room carefully without spilling a piece of medicinal materials.

After dinner, Gu Jiao goes to pack things for xiaojingkong.

The little guy always turns things up in a mess and doesn't put them back properly.

Gu Jiao found one thing missing when she was cleaning up this time.

Most of the things in the small clearance are packed in different boxes. Gu Jiao usually doesn't open those boxes privately, not because they look shabby, but because she respects the privacy of her children.

However, some things are directly exposed to the outside, such as the little abacus.

"Clearance." Gu Jiao called.

"Well?" In the small clearance of the main hall where the chickens were arrayed, he came in and tilted his head and asked, "what's the matter, Jiaojiao?"

"Where's your abacus?" Gu Jiao asked suspiciously.

Xiaojingkong turned around: "I put it in the hospital!"

"Is it?" Gu Jiao thought, "but I just finished packing your small box in the hospital today. I didn't see your abacus."

Xiaojingkong blinked and said, "Oh, I just forgot. I... Lent it to brother Chu Yu! He said, "give it back to me for a while!"

Xiao Jingkong seldom lies. He has a good reputation, so Gu Jiao doesn't doubt him.

After getting out of the east room, Xiao Jingkong covered his chest and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Scared to death, he was almost found by Jiaojiao. Fortunately, he is a smart little ghost!

In the evening, it rained. Gu Yan's Secret guard came back to report that it was hard to walk. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun stopped at Nanxiang and Master Lu's home. Tomorrow, they will go directly to Qinghe academy from there.

Nanxiang and Lu Shifu like Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan very much. Gu Jiao has nothing to worry about, so he asks dark Wei to take two sets of clothes to wash for them.

On the other hand, the old Marquis, who was encouraged by Gu Yan and Gu Jiao, felt that he had received unprecedented support. He had been living for Zhao state and Hou family all his life, and he had done almost nothing bold in private except fighting on the battlefield.

He has been in business all his life and abides by his duty. But maybe he is old and has not lived for many years. He doesn't want to leave regrets in this life.

As long as you live for others, you fail her.

In the few days left, he didn't want to burden her any more.

Fortunately, the troops cultivated for your majesty have been cultivated, Gu Changqing has grown up, and there are successors in the Marquis's house, so he can feel at ease.

"Go and call my son." The Lord ordered.

"Yes." He went to Gu Changqing's courtyard and called Gu Changqing over.

Gu Changqing looked at the old Marquis who was sitting on the throne with a look obviously different from the past, and said in a light way: "so late, grandfather has something to look for me?"

The old Marquis gave him a deep look. This is the grandson he brought up. He devoted all his efforts to him, more than his son Gu Chong.

And he did not live up to expectations, grew into his ideal appearance.

The Marquis handed him two tokens of different texture, one of Gu's and the other of the secret army.

"Grandfather, what does that mean?" Gu Changqing asked strangely.

The old Marquis looked at him and said, "you've grown up. You should have some courage. Maybe I can't see the day when Gu's army is back on its feet, but I hope you can see that day."

"Why not see?" Gu Changqing asked faintly.

The old Marquis stopped, pinched the corner of the table and said, "I have my plan. You don't need to ask more."

Gu Changqing sneered coldly and said sarcastically: "my grandfather always had his own arrangement, just like that thing in those years!"

After that, he didn't wait for the old Marquis to ask him about it, so he turned and went out.

He took the token.

He is the son of his family. He will spare no effort to bear the rights and burdens that belong to him.

The old Marquis looked at his grandson's back and sighed helplessly.

After that, he asked him to call Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin.

They were all his grandchildren. Naturally, he was in pain, but he didn't care as much for Gu Changqing as he did for Gu Yan.

This is probably the sorrow of not occupying both ends. It is not as capable as Gu Changqing, nor as delicate as Gu Yan, so it naturally gets less attention.

When it came to the day of separation, the old Marquis was reluctant to give up.

He took a look at them. He intended to say something sensational between his grandparents and grandchildren. But when he saw Gu Chenglin's bald head, the corner of his mouth began to twitch!

Nothing can be fanned out!

He also gave them a token and some family assets, which were sent to Gu Changqing for safekeeping, and then handed over to them on the day they got married.

He has also left the one for Gu Yan, and has sent someone to send it to the dark guard. When the right time comes, he will hand it over to Gu Yan.

Gu Jiao got married. He didn't leave him a token for the water thrown by the married girl, but she paid a sum of money for Gu Yan's sake.

It's also in the dark Wei's hands.

Marquis Gu has gone to repair the road. He is not in the mansion.

But the Marquis didn't think of his transparent son at all.

After explaining everything, the old Marquis left the Marquis's house overnight.

Gu Chenglin looked at the token in his hand, which he didn't know what it was for, and said, "second brother, do you think grandfather is strange today?"

Gu Chengfeng looked at the token and looked at the night. He said thoughtfully, "it's strange."

The moon is dark and the wind is high.

The capital has faded from the bustle and noise of the day and become a quiet and lonely city.

In the hazy night, a dark shadow flew over the eaves and walls and sneaked into the palace like a ghost.

A patrol of guards passed by.

Since the assassination of Princess Jing, the Imperial Palace has strengthened its defense, and the number of guards has doubled.

"Well? Did you just hear anything? " A guard said.

His companion said, "no, do you hear me?"

The rest of the company shook their heads.

The first guard scratched his head in bewilderment: "maybe I heard it wrong." He looked back at the solid palace wall. In addition to their patrols, there were also big masters and imperial secret guards in the four corners of the palace wall.

If someone really sneaks in, it shouldn't be a cover up, right?

"Go, go! Go ahead and patrol

The guard marched forward in a neat line.

Not long after they left, a figure hidden in the tree flew towards Huaqing Palace.

He was very familiar with the layout of the palace, avoided the sight of all the guards and the experts in the Imperial Palace, and successfully sneaked into the Huaqing Palace.

Princess Jing is sitting in a small meditation room knocking wooden fish to chant scriptures.

Suddenly a dark shadow flashed in and came behind her.

However, when the shadow was only three steps away from her, another shadow swept down from the beam, holding a long sword flashing with cold light, coldly blocked him.

Dragon shadow guard!

The Marquis was surprised.

"Stop it Jing Taifei opens her mouth.

Long Ying Wei puts down his sword.

"Back off." Said Princess Jing.

Long Yingwei flew up and swept out of the window.

The Marquis knows about the Dragon shadow guards. They are a group of dead men who were bought from the state of Yan by the former Emperor with a lot of money. They have been secretly trained to become the Dragon shadow guards in the hands of the former Emperor for many years.

He didn't expect to see longyingwei beside jingtaifei.

"You..."

All of a sudden, he got stuck.

If your majesty gives her all the Dragon shadow guards, does it mean that her situation is not as bad as she imagined?

"What are you doing here?" Princess Jing stares at her.

The old Marquis met her gaze and found his voice after a long time: "I heard that you met an assassin in the palace, and you were almost schemed by something sent by Xuanping marquis."

Xuanping marquis is investigating this case, which is quite high-profile, and has been heard by the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

The old Marquis doesn't believe that Xuanping Marquis and the old sacrificial wine will frame Princess Jing. However, this is the terrible part of the incident. The murderer is hiding in the dark, so it's really impossible to prevent.

Static too imperial concubine hang Mou, sigh a: "I am all right."

She put the stick back on the table.

When the old Marquis saw the wound on the back of her hand, he frowned: "you are hurt!"

Static too imperial concubine to hang down hand, cover the back of hand with sleeve: "a little bit small wound, don't get in the way."

"Is it the one in Renshou palace?" After thinking about it, the Marquis thinks that the only one who doesn't want Princess Jing to come back is empress dowager Zhuang!

All this may have been secretly planned by Empress Dowager Zhuang!

Static too imperial concubine droops Mou, bitter astringent smile, way: "have no evidence of matter, you don't talk nonsense... We don't fight that one."

If the old Marquis had the same temperament as before, he would come here and see her hurt again. Why don't you just go to Renshou palace and stab the Empress Dowager Zhuang!

But the Marquis is here to take Princess Jing away today. He thinks that killing empress dowager Zhuang will bring disaster to Princess Jing. If he wants to, he can do it later.

He took a deep breath and said, "I just saw long Yingwei. I'm still hesitant to do it. But since she is so arrogant, it's not right for you to stay any longer. I'll take you away now!"

Static too imperial concubine one Leng: "what, what?"

The old Marquis said, "I understand your intention. I won't let you down any more. I'll take you away tonight."

He said, grabbed static too imperial concubine's wrist and then walked out.

They just came to the door and met the emperor who came to visit Princess Jing.
