Chapter 419: Confession (two changes)

Chapter 419 Confession (two more)

The night is full.

Sanding Jia, who had been busy in the cabinet all night, finally ended his official duties.

The three people came out of the cabinet, and King Ann got into his carriage and returned to the house.

The carriage of the Hanlin Academy stopped outside the cabinet, planning to send Ning Zhiyuan and Xiao Liulang home in turn.

Ning Zhiyuan was exhausted. I really wanted to go home in the Hanlin Academy's carriage, but his horse was still parked at the Hanlin Academy. If he didn't ride the horse back tonight, he wouldn't be able to come to the Hanlin Academy for value in the morning.

Walking too far, hiring a carriage is too expensive.

Ning Zhiyuan sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I'll go back to the Hanlin Academy first, and I will ride my horse back."

Xiao Liulang looked at him: "Don't be tired and drive the horse."

Ning Zhiyuan waved his hand: "It's okay, it's not too far away."

The carriage went in the direction of Hanlinyuan.

"That's right." Ning Zhiyuan said again, "Do you think Yuan Shoufu attaches great importance to you?"

"Are there?" Xiao Liulang said.

Ning Zhiyuan confidently said: "Of course there is! Yuan Shoufu said three sentences to me today, and five sentences to King An Jun, not as many as you alone!"

Xiao Liulang didn't pay attention to these.

Ning Zhiyuan continued: "Moreover, I found that he always looks at you."

Xiao Liulang gave him an inexplicable little look: "Have you done anything today?"

Ning Zhiyuan sighed again: "You and Jun Wang have finished everything. To be honest, I didn't do much."

Today, Yuan Shoufu asked them to go to the cabinet mainly to help sort out some memorials about the laws of the Zhao Kingdom. In the two hundred years since the founding of the Kingdom, some laws were set at the beginning of the country and conformed to the national conditions at that time. Suitable.

Almost every emperor of Zhaoguo will rearrange and revise the laws.

The emperor would not personally revise it one by one, but the cabinet drafted it before taking it for the emperor’s review.

But the cabinet needs to listen to the voices of the people before drafting, and the voices of the people need to be reported one by one by the local officials. What the three of them did today is to sort the content reported one by one into a standardized memorial.

Ning Zhiyuan entered the cabinet for the first time. Not only was he nervous, but he was also a little handy. He was not as calm and experienced as Xiao Liulang and Anjun Wang.

In fact, Xiao Liulang and King An were the first to come back to the cabinet to help, but the two were born from extraordinary backgrounds and had a lot of knowledge. They knew how to deal with cabinet officials, and they were able to live in the same place.

Ning Zhiyuan winked his eyebrows and said: "Hey? You said...Does Yuan Shoufu have a crush on you? Want you to be his grandson-in-law?"

Xiao Liulang said calmly: "Don't talk nonsense."

Ning Zhiyuan said: "I didn't talk nonsense! Wasn't it a rumor that Yuan Shoufu's granddaughter was going to marry King An? Somehow later, King An was engaged to the daughter of Ding'an Houfu. I will be careful tonight. After observing it, Yuan Shoufu's eyes were not right when looking at King An! He must have been Qi'an King Shichao and finally abandoned, and betrayed his granddaughter!"

Xiao Liulang has always been uninterested in outsiders' affairs. He said indifferently: "I'm married."

Ning Zhiyuan said: "I know you are married, but does Yuan Shoufu know? Didn't the Shangshu of the Criminal Department come to you last time and want to marry his daughter to you?"

Xiao Liulang glanced at him: "You are really free these days."

Gossip everywhere!

Xiao Liulang didn't take Ning Zhiyuan's words to heart, because whether Yuan Shoufu really cared about him or not, it was definitely not for the betrothal of his granddaughter to him.

——Yuan Shoufu and Old Houye are already discussing marriage in secret.

……

It was midnight when Xiao Liulang returned to Bishui Hutong. He unexpectedly found a person standing at the door, wearing a light-colored gown, alone in the cool moonlight.

Xiao Liulang approached only to recognize him as Liu Yisheng who had a fate.

Liu Yisheng is an orphan of the Liu family. In the capital, he is like a rat crossing the street, but at the same time he is also Gu Jiao’s patient.

Xiao Jingkong had a relationship with Ming'er, the son of Prince Yu, the envoy of Liang Guo. It was Liu Yisheng who sent the two children back to the hospital.

Prince Yu gave a lot of money to thank him, and he accepted it.

But when Xiao Liulang also went to reward him, he refused.

He said: "Dr. Gu treated me for medical treatment, either under-charged the consultation fee or not received the consultation fee. I owe Mrs. Gu and cannot accept your thanks.”

These words impressed Xiao Liulang deeply on Liu Yisheng.

"What are you doing?" Xiao Liulang stepped forward and asked.

Liu Yisheng saw the opponent as early as Xiao Liulang walked into Hu. It was not that he hadn't thought of avoiding it, but in the end he stayed.

He opened his mouth: "I..."

His sleeves are not long, Xiao Liulang glanced over and noticed his hands wrapped in gauze, and there seemed to be faint bleeding from the gauze.

Xiao Liulang said: "It's so late, if you want to heal your injuries, you can go to Miaoshoutang, where there is a doctor who is on duty at night."

Liu Yisheng is not here to heal his injuries.

It’s just that it is difficult for him to explain to Xiao Liulang what he is here for.

He didn't want Xiao Liulang to misunderstand him.

As he struggled with his words, another carriage stopped at the other end of the alley.

Gu Jiao got out of the carriage and walked towards her home.

She saw two men from Yushu Linfeng standing at the door, facing each other in a strange atmosphere, and she was surprised for a moment.

This picture is a bit too eye-catching.

Xiao Liulang looked at her fixedly, with a bit of inquiry. At this hour, he thought she had stopped early, but he had come back.

And her clothes...obviously it was not the one she wore when she went out in the morning, nor any one at home.

Liu Yisheng's exploration is no less than Xiao Liulang's. Gu Jiao was in a coma when he was taken away, but now it seems to be restored to the same level as before?

Really, as Yuan Tang said, that master has no malice towards Gu Jiao, and 80% of them are people Gu Jiao knows?

"Msang Gong." Gu Jiao called to Xiao Liulang, "It's so late, what are you two doing here?"

"Ask him." The person who was announced is finally in a better mood, and said to Liu Yisheng, "Go in and sit down."

Liu Yisheng said, "No, I just asked Doctor Gu to take a look at the injury, and he left in a while."

Xiao Liulang no longer forced, he turned around and entered the yard, lighting up all the lanterns in the yard.

Gu Jiao’s eyes fell on his right hand: "Your hand..."

Liu Yisheng looked at his right hand wrapped in gauze: "I'm fine."

Gu Jiao asked: "Stitched?"

Liu Yisheng looked at her suspiciously: "You stitched it up, don't you remember?"

Gu Jiao thoughtfully: "...It seems to be a bit impressed."

Liu Yisheng pursed his lips: "Do you... do you often do this? I mean, losing consciousness."

Gu Jiao shook her head: "Not often, tonight is a special situation."

Liu Yisheng opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

He didn't ask in the end.

He said, "I sent your medicine chest and back basket to the hospital."

The master only took her away when he took her away. He did not take away anything on the ground. He first went to the hospital to inquire about her news and whereabouts, and then handed over the basket and the small medicine box to the second house.

Gu Jiao bends the corners of her lips: "Thank you."

Gu Jiao checked his injury. She was worried that she might not be able to stitch up in that situation. The facts proved that her muscle memory was too strong and the operation was perfect.

Gu Jiao explained some precautions and asked him to come to the hospital tomorrow to change the medicine.

Liu Yisheng suddenly took a deep look at her and asked: "What about you? Are you really okay? That master..."

"He..." Gu Jiao thought for a while and said, "It's my mate's friend."

Don’t reveal the identity of Long Yi and Xiao Liulang, let’s call them friends for the time being.

Liu Yisheng completely relieved: "Then I will leave."

Liu Yisheng walked out of Bishui Hutong and came to Xuanwu Street, where an unremarkable carriage was parked.

Several guards ambush around the carriage.

Yuantang was sitting on the carriage.

Only after solving the group of secret guards, Yuan Tang immediately returned to the palace and called Chen Guo’s master.

I just don’t know if the other party was scared by Gu Jiao and the masked master, so I didn’t do anything on him this evening.

Liu Yisheng got into the carriage.

Yuantang raised his eyebrows and said, "How is it? Is that girl okay?"

Liu Yisheng said: "It's okay."

Yuantang leaned back on the cushion lazily: "I said she would be fine. The master was very careful when he rescued her, just like the look in my cousin's eyes every time I look at my cousin."

Liu Yisheng wanted to kick this shameless guy off the carriage.

Yuantang patted the palm of his hand with a folding fan: "But then again, who is that master? When did Zhaoguo have such a powerful character?"

Liu Yisheng said coldly: "Rather than caring about this, it is better to think about your own situation. Being chased and killed, and hurting others."

This other person, Liu Yisheng, is not referring to himself, but Gu Jiao.

Yuan Tang said, "I know that my cousin broke his finger. I will investigate the matter thoroughly. I will definitely get the **** out! I chopped off his finger to avenge my cousin! Doesn't the cousin hurt? , Come, let me call my cousin!"

As he said, he really grabbed Liu Yisheng's right hand and wanted to blow him.

Liu Yisheng was so thundered by him, he decisively opened a full half-carriage distance from him!

Gu Jiao is a temperament to report happiness but not worry. No, she doesn't even report happiness. She is not good at talking about her daily life and experiences with others.

Perhaps it was because she was influenced by her childhood and no one liked to listen to it. Gradually she stopped saying it, as if this could create a pre-established illusion-you don’t know about me, it’s not because you don’t care about me. Because I refused to say.

This temperament has not changed when he grows up.

At the beginning, Xiao Liulang digs and then digs the things of Jing Taifei. With all the pig teammates taking turns, she has missed the bottom line, and it won’t work if she doesn’t recruit.

Xiao Liulang would never ask Liu Yisheng. After all, Liu Yisheng was only one of her patients, and he seemed stingy when he cared about one patient.

Xiao Liulang went to the stove to boil water, it was hot water for Gu Jiao, and the movement was a bit loud.

Gu Jiao followed in, sat down on the small bench beside him, and turned to look at him: "You seem to be upset."

Xiao Liulang: "I don't have one."

Gu Jiao: "Are you jealous?"

Xiao Liulang: "I'm not so careful."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

Xiao Liulang: "Who looks good with him?"

Gu Jiao: "..."

After taking a shower, Gu Jiao went to the backyard to pour water, but Xiao Liulang was still awake.

He stood in the yard, full of moon and stars, graceful as jade, and seemed to be waiting for her.

"Why don't you sleep?" Gu Jiao put down the tub and turned to ask.

Xiao Liulang came over, raised his hand, and his warm palm fell on top of her head.

Gu Jiao was a little surprised: "Why..."

"I don't know." He put down his hand, "I just wanted to touch your head suddenly."

It seems that you need it, but I can’t tell why you need it.

Gu Jiao blinked and stared at him for a long time. Then, she shook her head and stretched her head over: "Then, touch it again."

Like a good boy waiting to touch his head.

Xiao Liulang laughed lowly: "Okay."

……

The next day was originally the day when Gu Jiao agreed to go to the Chamber of Commerce party with Er Dongjia, but because of this sudden change, Gu Jiao had to make sure of one thing first.

Gu Jiao asked the Second Dong's family to go there first, and she rushed over after finishing the processing later.

"Okay, you remember to be there before dinner."

The second owner finished speaking, and got on the carriage to Sihai Villa in the eastern suburbs of Beijing.

Gu Jiao went to Ruiwang Mansion.

The King Rui has gone to handle official duties, and only Princess Rui is in the house.

I heard that Gu Jiao was here, and Princess Rui was so excited that she grabbed her skirt and greeted her.

She doesn’t have to worry that Gu Jiao will be irritated, she runs...erh no, she walks fast.

She came to the door of the palace and said with a smile: "You are finally here! The prince said that when you sent me back to the palace last time, he invited you to accompany me more, but I waited so long and didn't see you come today! What brought you here?"

Gu Jiao's gaze crossed Princess Rui and landed on the corridor not far away, where there were two hidden guards.

She had never seen her with Princess Rui before.

Gu Jiao asked, "Are those two people sent by King Ning to protect you?"

Princess Rui talked everything with her, and King Ning had told Gu Jiao everything about sending people to protect her.

"Did you see?" Princess Rui looked back and said in surprise, "They are dark guards. They only paid respect to me once when they came to the mansion. After that, I was completely unaware of their existence."

"I'll see you." Gu Jiao continued her words.

"Quickly enter the mansion and sit down!" Princess Rui took Gu Jiao's hand and led her into the mansion.

King Rui was not a very favored prince, and the mansion he was assigned was somewhat unsatisfactory, even less than half of Prince Ning’s mansion, and few people were seen along the way.

Princess Rui didn't seem to care about this, she happily invited Gu Jiao into her yard.

She already had a lot of baby clothes in her house, some of which she made by herself, and some of them were sent by her maidens.

"My sister has been here for a few days, she is too noisy, I let her go." Princess Rui and Gu Jiao sat down in the chairs, and called the maid to serve Gu Jiao with tea. She drank warm water by herself.

Princess Rui’s younger sister is Du Xiaoyun, the crown prince’s number one fan. Gu Jiao was hit by Du Xiaoyun several times in Amway.

Speaking of noisy...

Gu Jiao glanced at Princess Rui, aren’t you two making the same noise?

"Try this." Princess Rui pushed a plate of sweet-scented osmanthus cake on the table in front of Gu Jiao, "You don't know how miserable I was in the last two months, I have learned to make snacks!"

Gu Jiao took a bite, which was surprisingly good.

"Is it delicious?" Princess Rui asked.

"It's delicious." Gu Jiao said.

Princess Rui's eyes smiled into two crescent moons.

Gu Jiao came today mainly because of several things to confirm to her: “Who did you talk to about the prince and the concubine after the rockery and the suspect that Yuantang is the man?”

Princess Rui said bluntly: "I only talked to you, King Rui, and eldest brother! Hmm... Sister-in-law was in the carriage, maybe... I heard a little bit, so why did I suddenly ask this?"

Gu Jiao said, "Yuantang was assassinated."

"What? He... was assassinated? How could this happen? Who is going to kill him?" Princess Rui's expression became serious.

After a while, she suddenly patted the table, "I know! It is Wen Linlang! She must be worried that things will be revealed, and she will be tired, so she simply does not do it, and kills Yuantang!"

Gu Jiao:......Your prejudice against the princess is not ordinary deep.

I have to say that Princess Rui’s speculation gave Gu Jiao another way of thinking—from the point of view of motivation, the prince is suspicious.

Recalling the conversation between the two carefully, the man was the one who approached the princess, and the princess slapped him, which is enough to show that the man had a high probability of offending her in words.

Regardless of whether the prince princess has hatred because of her anger, or never suffers from future troubles, she may indeed be a painful killer to Yuantang.

However, Gu Jiao felt that the man was also very suspicious.

After all, not everyone can think of making Yuantang bear the black pot, nor can it be established under any conditions.

It will not help to kill personal top bags casually.

But if it was Yuantang, it would be different.

Whether it’s identity, appearance or talent, Yuan Tang is worthy. He finds a passerby and says, this is the man of the prince concubine's private meeting. Is it convincing?

What's more, Yuantang has been "conclusively concluded" by Princess Rui.

Gu Jiao quickly thought of another thing. She was also there when the other party assassinated Yuantang, and she also killed so many killers. How would the other party view her relationship with Yuantang?

Could the other party have guessed that she knew that Yuantang was wronged as a rockery man?

If it were her, she would have guessed it anyway.

After all, Princess Rui "recognized" Yuantang and went to the hospital to look for her. It is impossible not to tell her the gossip about Princess Yi Rui and her that Yuantang is an adulterer.

And she was with Yuantang that night, it is hard to doubt whether she went to Yuantang to verify the truth.

"Miss Gu, what's the matter with you? Did I say something wrong?" When Princess Rui saw Gu Jiao suddenly fell silent, she couldn't help but become anxious.

Her temperament is not too unpleasant, but she always fights Wen Linlang, and there are too many people who like Wen Linlang, it is inevitable that she can’t get along with her.

"You don't like Wen Linlang too, do you?" She asked weakly.

Gu Jiao shook her head: "I like you."

Princess Rui suddenly became happy. She held Gu Jiao's hand and said affectionately: "I like you too!"

As soon as I walked to the door, I heard such a confession from King Rui: "..."

Suddenly felt a little green on the top of my head...
