Emperor Tianwu's kindness and power to the Qi family not only attracted the attention of all parties in the court. On that day, it spread among the people and caused a heated discussion.
Except for Xia Xiaoman, no one knew that all of this was calculated by Jun Jiuchen.
When the court was full of heated discussions, Jun Jiuchen did not return to the city, but hid in Daci Temple to purify himself. To be exact, after he left Taoyao Valley that day, he came to Daci Temple.
He had long since changed into a black suit, wearing a rare moonlight gown, and his black hair was half up. Although he was less cold than usual, he still gave off a sense of loneliness and alienation.
The monks in the temple had finished their evening classes, the candlelight was brightly lit in the main hall, and only the name of Xia Chong was left in the quiet outside the main hall.
Jun Jiuchen did not sit on the steps, but on the tiled roof of the main hall. He looked at the night sky with a quiet expression, as if he was thinking about something, and seemed to be distracted.
At this time, at the back of the main hall, the little novice named Nianchen was slowly climbing up the long bamboo ladder like a little snail.
After a while, he climbed onto the roof. He didn't stand up either, and continued to crawl forward along the ridge of the roof, and sat down beside Jun Jiuchen.
He touched his little bald head and muttered to himself, "It's a bit cold!"
Only then did Jun Jiuchen turn his head to look, and also touched his little bald head. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything. He turned his head to look at the starry sky, and subconsciously stroked his upper lip.
After a long time, the little novice crawled away without a sound, Jun Jiuchen was still sitting, thinking, as for what he was thinking, only he knew clearly.
In the early morning of the next day, Jun Jiuchen left Daci Temple. However, he didn't return to Jinyang City, nor did he continue to arrest Baili Mingchuan. He knew very well that if he couldn't catch anyone in Taoyao Valley, it would be very difficult to catch him again.
He has more important things to do, he has a task on his shoulders, how can he stay in Jinyang City every day? His father urged him.
In Prince Jing's mansion, Gu Feiyan has been waiting for Jun Jiuchen.
She thought, don't worry about being kidnapped by His Highness Prince Jing, since she has been rescued, His Highness Prince Jing should give her condolences, right? She also took the opportunity to mention the stinky ice.
Unfortunately, Gu Feiyan was disappointed. She waited for three days, but still did not wait for Jun Jiuchen.
On the fourth day, Xia Xiaoman came to find her early in the morning, and as soon as she went out to see the excitement of the Qi family, she took the opportunity to inquire, "Your Highness, have you gone after Baili Mingchuan?"
Xia Xiaoman actually didn't know where his master was going, so he chuckled and didn't answer.
Gu Feiyan gave him a blank look, and didn't bother to ask any more questions. As soon as the two arrived at the door, they saw Cheng Yifei waiting at the door.
"Little drug girl, let's go, this general will take you to watch the fun!" Cheng Yifei laughed wantonly.
Gu Feiyan also had something to talk to Cheng Yifei, so she just dumped Xia Xiaoman and went with Cheng Yifei, Xia Xiaoman's face turned dark.
Cheng Yifei took Gu Feiyan to a restaurant, and the location by the window happened to be able to see the gate of Princess Huaining's mansion. When they arrived, the welcoming team had just arrived. The Qi family still gave face to the royal family, the ceremonies to welcome the relatives were not small, Qi Yu didn't know why he was crazy, he actually wore a battle robe and armor to welcome the relatives, only a piece of red silk was hung on his body.
Gu Feiyan and Cheng Yifei lay on the windowsill and looked down, seeing everything clearly.
Seeing Qi Yu get off his horse and go into the mansion to carry the bride, Cheng Yifei poured three glasses of wine and said with a smile, "Little Yao girl, come, the general respects you."
After he finished speaking, he drank all three glasses of wine without waiting for Gu Feiyan to speak.
Gu Feiyan looked suspicious, "What are you doing? You have a bad stomach and still drink like this, you are looking for death!"
Cheng Yifei touched his nose and said with a smile, "Congratulations formally!"
Gu Feiyan seemed to guess what he was going to say next, and quickly changed the subject, "Is there any news about Baili Mingchuan? Does the masked man in black have any clues?"
"Baili Mingchuan probably won't be able to catch him. That masked man in black should be an acquaintance!"
After Cheng Yifei finished answering, he continued his topic, "Little drug girl, today is a good day, the general wants to..."
Gu Feiyan stopped again, "If you are an acquaintance, who would it be? Help you like this?"
Cheng Yifei stopped talking, just stared at Gu Feiyan, there was a smile in those beautiful eyes, a little uninhibited and a bit rambunctious, very bright and beautiful.
Gu Feiyan blocked his sight and looked out of the window. At this time, Qi Yu had already carried Princess Huaining out of his back and put Princess Huaining into the sedan chair.
She quickly said, "The bride is about to get up in the sedan chair, look!"
Cheng Yifei was not interested at all, so he stopped smiling, took out a pair of earrings, handed them to Gu Feiyan, and said very seriously, "Gu Feiyan, be my woman! I'm serious. This is the Cheng family's ancestral It is only for the daughter-in-law."
Gu Feiyan was really not used to Cheng Yifei being so serious, she smiled awkwardly, "Okay, stop joking."
Cheng Yifei was still serious, "You know I'm not joking."
Gu Feiyan stopped laughing, and said seriously, "I can only think you are joking, and I don't like this kind of joke. General Cheng!"
After she finished speaking, she turned and left. Originally, she wanted to discuss the stinky ice with Cheng Yifei, but now, with Cheng Yifei's serious look, she couldn't continue the conversation! Or, take this opportunity to let Cheng Yifei know her attitude.
After she finished speaking, she opened the door and went out.
Cheng Yifei immediately chased after Jie, and asked, "Little Yao Nu, do you like His Highness Prince Jing?"
This "like" is obviously different from the "like" that Gu Feiyan often says!
Gu Feiyan was taken aback, and immediately reprimanded, "Stop talking nonsense!"
Cheng Yifei was overjoyed, and said, "Little Yao Nu, if the one you like is His Highness Prince Jing, this general will accept it. If it's someone else, this general will not let it go!"
Gu Feiyan didn't know how to answer, she suddenly had an idea and said, "I like the Eighth Prince!"
The Eighth Prince
Cheng Yifei was so surprised that he didn't slow down for a while.
Gu Feiyan took the opportunity to escape, and ran to the door of the restaurant in one breath, bumping into the passing wedding procession, fortunately she stopped in time.
However, unfortunately, Qi Yu happened to look over and saw her at a glance. The hatred in Qi Yu's eyes was too strong to describe.
Gu Feiyan smiled generously and made a gesture of congratulations. Before the wedding procession had finished, she slipped away from the other side, fearing that Cheng Yifei would chase her.
Gu Feiyan went back to Gu's house and wanted to inquire about the drowning of the original owner at the age of eight, but unfortunately she didn't find any useful information, instead she was pestered by the two elders of Gu's family for a while. When she returned to Prince Jing's mansion, it was already dark.
I saw Xia Xiaoman standing and talking with Eunuch Mei in the palace.
She hesitated for a while, trying to avoid it, but who knew, Eunuch Mei had noticed her long ago, and said with a smile, "Guyao girl, please stay, our family has been waiting for you for a long time!"
wait for her? Gu Feiyan was startled.
Eunuch Mei came over and said with a smile, "The emperor has ordered that the lonely Yao girl be invited into the palace for questioning. The lonely girl, please."
