"Is there still no news about Yufu?"
In the courtyard, the shadows of the trees are whirling, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and the wind at night in the early summer is also cooler.
In the brightly lit study room, doors and windows were closed on all sides, and a faint menthol fragrance was stagnant in the air. Yin Shuo sat on the back of the desk, holding on to his forehead, exhausted.
The subordinate stood aside cautiously, "Yes. The people in the Guhou Mansion were so busy with this matter. The subordinate guessed that maybe she had been away for several days when we found out that the Zhenjiang Princess was missing."
It was an accident to discover that Yufu was not in Guhou's Mansion. Ning Chengzhi sent a reward to Guhou's Mansion. Gu Wenqing said that Yufu did not want to see the people sent by the palace. Yufu was someone who even dared to smash the things from the imperial court and throw them outside the gate. Grandpa Chi did not dare to collide, so he had to come back honestly to report.
Ning Chengzhi waited from the left to the right, waiting for Yufu to tell him what he was willing to do. After all, it was not far from the day when Gu Huaijiang was imprisoned. Who knows that Yufu has been delayed.
Ning Chengzhi went to Guhou's Mansion himself in a hurry, only to find that Yufu was not in the mansion at all.
After thinking about it, I'm afraid Yufu had already left when he refused to see Father Chi...
"The few days before I found out that she hadn't seen her was when Yuehu left the imperial capital with Yaolan. But we searched Yuehu's carriage thoroughly, and we didn't see Yufu..."
Yin Shuo recalled the situation at that time, suddenly a bright light flashed in his mind, and sneered, "Come here, go and invite the princess Danyang."
Princess Danyang was sitting in her room embroidering, when she heard a report from someone from outside that Yin Shuo had asked her to go to the outer study room. She was startled, put down her needle and thread to organize her clothes, and then walked out slowly.
After she married Yin Shuo, this was the first time he took the initiative to invite her to the foreign study. Of course, she would not imagine that Yin Shuo had changed her attitude towards her and would love Qinse chords with her husband and wife from now on.
Even if he finds himself just to make use of it, she will be happy.
"My son, the eldest princess is here."
The subordinates reminded in a whisper, Yin Shuo raised her head, and saw a woman in plain clothes walking in the dark night. She lowered her eyebrows and walked towards the study room.
Yin Shuo was in a daze, almost thinking that Yufu was walking towards him. Since the death of the first emperor, Yufu has always wore such a plain clothes to express his grief for the first emperor.
It must be because these days are too busy, he will regard Danyang as Yufu.
When Princess Danyang saw him frowning and a lot of official documents on the book case, she knew that he was working hard, "These days there are so many things, just a Beili envoy Ji Chengfa makes you choking, right? Plus the Beili Chujun. You have to go on a mission in person, and I don’t know what you are doing. Take advantage of this now, you should take care of it, don’t be too tired."
She spoke softly, but he didn't appreciate it, and only waved his hand to the bottom slightly, and the subordinates withdrew from the study and closed the door.
Princess Danyang stood on the spot, seeing that his face didn't seem to be exhausted because of busy work, but as if he was dissatisfied with him.
What did she do to upset Yin Shuo
"I ask you, when Yuehu left the imperial capital, was Yufu in that empty box?"
Princess Danyang was stunned, Yin Shuo still wanted to understand.
"Yes, and I knew she was in that box, I didn't say."
Yin Shuo stood up suddenly and clamped her neck with one hand, "Why didn't you say? No wonder you were so interested in that box at the time, you found her inside. You dare to hide from me, what do you want to do," Do you want to take refuge in Guhou Mansion too?!"
Tears slipped from the corner of her eyes, "How could I take refuge in Guhou Mansion? If I really have this idea, why should I stay in Xiang Mansion? Why should I take care of the old prime minister and Ji Yan for you, and tell you everything in front of them. Good words?"
After Yin Yan returned, Yin Shuo didn't dare to be too restrained by his face when facing Princess Danyang, Princess Danyang gradually picked up the identity of the hostess of the house and was responsible for the general affairs of the mansion.
Yin Shuo's body and mind were concerned about the affairs of the court. After Princess Danyang took care of the affairs in the mansion, it became more humane. At least Yin Yan and Yin Ji's father and daughter were very satisfied.
Yin Shuo doesn't care about these things, but he sees them.
She was right. If she wanted to take refuge in the Guhou Mansion, she didn't have to bother to do these things.
Yin Shuo shook his hand vigorously, and Princess Danyang coughed violently, clutching her neck, "I just don't want her to be there. I don't want the emperor to let the Manchu civil and military and the emperor's brother be distracted by her, and I don't want Dongling's generations to be ruined. …I don’t even want her in front of you to make you think about it."
Yin Shuo frowned and stared at her without saying a word.
Princess Danyang leaned on the corner of the table and slowly straightened up, "Do you remember? We met under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the back garden. That is the best memory you have left me. You stand under the osmanthus flowers flying in the sky, and the petals fall. On your shoulders in white clothes, it looks as beautiful as a painting. I was so happy at the time that the two of us are not completely overlapped, at least we both like sweet-scented osmanthus."
She smiled bitterly: "But I asked Ji Yan later, you didn't like sweet-scented osmanthus flowers at all before, not even sweet-scented osmanthus cakes and osmanthus wine. Why did you suddenly like osmanthus?"
"I found out after several twists and turns. It turns out that Yufu likes osmanthus, and she likes the sweet smell of osmanthus the most. Oh, yes, she is like a girl soaking in a honeypot, smiling so sweetly, and how similar to osmanthus... "
Yin Shuo looked at her in disgust, "Yes, I don't like sweet-scented osmanthus at all. I like Yufu. If the honeypot is soaked, Yufu moved from Immortal Valley to Dongling, she was at that time. It’s so small, and it’s a lot of twists and turns. In contrast, you have been promoted from a small gold to a big one, so what right do you have to be jealous of her?"
The two tears are like a mottled riverbed left after the flood bursts, twisting and winding, a mess.
She cocked the corner of her mouth hard, and smiled in tears: "Yes, I am the princess who was a golden and precious princess since I was a child. But the person I have liked since I was a child, my brother, my husband, everyone likes Yufu! I have lost my mother since I was a child, and even the only father who loved me was killed by you!"
She yelled the last sentence almost hoarsely.
Yin Shuo was silent for a while, he raised his eyes, "So you know it all."
Princess Danyang said: "Of course I know! I also know that you like Yufu so much. Why don't you stop the emperor from establishing her as the queen, because you just want to use this to make the emperor lose the heart of your subjects, so that you can try to usurp the throne and take Yufu away. —"
"Snapped!"
Yin Shuo calmly slapped her, and she fell to the ground with blood on the corners of her lips.
"If you let me hear any word of this thing from your mouth, I will kill you, do you believe it?"
Princess Danyang shivered, almost afraid to look up at Yin Shuo. She knew that what Yin Shuo said was not a lie. He dare, he really dare.
The only reason he didn't kill himself was because of his identity as the eldest princess.
Yin Shuo turned his back, "Come here, send the princess back."
…
"Peer, pack up quickly. Packing more food and medicine is the most important thing, you know?"
Before dawn, Yin Jizheng hurriedly asked Pei'er to clean up, and she opened the cage again and took out all the money from the ladder and put them on the table.
Pei Er glanced at her, and quickly stopped, "Miss, you are too conspicuous with these. What if the guards want to search when we go in?"
Yin Jizheng had already prepared, "Where is the food container I asked you to prepare?"
"Oh, yes! Here it is!"
Pei'er turned his head and took out a big red-painted food box from the corner. Yin Jiyan ordered it to be bigger. Pei'er finally found it out of the kitchen. It was half a person tall.
If you fill it up, let her walk on it, I'm afraid she won't be able to lift it.
Yin Jizhen rested her chin, "Will this... be too big?"
Peer put the food and medicine bottles that she had taken out on the table, plus the silver that Yin Jizhen took out, it really couldn't fit without such a big food box.
Yin Jizheng glanced at the table, Peier prepared some pastries and the like. The environment in the prison was not good, and Guhou Mansion was full of life in prison. It is estimated that the guards will not treat them well, so these foods are necessary, and medicines are also necessary.
What if someone gets beaten up or something, the wound rots in such a hot weather
Silver is also necessary, she can't visit the prison of Dali Temple from time to time, leave some silver for them, and bribe the guards in times of crisis.
Peer was a little uneasy, "Miss, can we get in or not, don't we bring a big food box so conspicuous, isn't it arousing people to stop?"
Yin Jizheng sat down slowly, pulled off the white gauze covering the wound on her head, clenched it tightly in her hand, and let it go, "If Yu is here, what would she do..."
Peer murmured, "The young lady also mentioned the Princess Zhenjiang, she doesn't know where she is going. If the Guhou Mansion's family hadn't bitten her whereabouts, they wouldn't be imprisoned by Your Majesty so quickly..."
"What do you mean? How many times have I told you, Yufu didn't run away alone, she must have gone to find a way!"
Yin Jizhen didn't like to listen to these words, although she sometimes wondered why Yufu left quietly and there was no news again, but she believed that Yufu was not such a person.
The family affection of Guhou's family is not understandable by ordinary people. She is the closest outsider, and she knows a thing or two.
Pear hurriedly begged for mercy, "I am talking nonsense, miss you. Don't be angry. So should we bring something less for a snack box, or do we really bring them all?"
"Bring them all."
Yin Jizheng took a deep breath, "I think if Yufu is here, let alone bring a food box, you can bring ten of them."
"But she is the eldest princess of Zhenjiang, someone who can become a queen with a little head, miss you..."
Yin Jizheng smiled, "I can't compare to him naturally, but my eldest brother is right now, and in the eyes of others, as his sister, I can't be offended. What if we just pretend to be a tiger once?"
Peer looked at her blankly, always feeling that she had been serving the young lady since childhood, becoming more and more courageous and courageous, and more and more optimistic.
Since she knew the identity of her biological mother, she seemed to have completely changed her face, always full of vigorous smiles, and she didn't feel as self-satisfied as before in doing anything.
Peer couldn't help saying: "Miss, I think you are so beautiful now..."
"what?"
Peer folded her hands on one place, resting her chin, "I think you are so beautiful like this. Although the scar on the forehead has not completely receded, but... it seems that there is a dazzling light that shines on me so that I can't see the scar. "
Yin Jizheng couldn't help laughing, "Just your sweet mouth, okay, when the eldest brother goes out to see the envoy of Bei Li, we will go out afterwards. The little son from Bei Li is said to be very difficult, he is there. My eldest brother won't have the mind to care about me lately. I only hope that the little boy will haunt him for a long time, and don't make him think of dealing with the Guhou family..."
In the dark and damp cell, there was the sound of wind, as if someone was dancing a sword.
If you listen carefully, the sound of the wind made by the blade is sharper and thinner. This sound is like a child from the city holding two wooden sticks.
It is indeed a wooden stick.
Gu Hanmo and Gu Wenqing were locked in two cells, separated by a wooden fence. Gu Hanmo used a wooden stick to teach Gu Wenqing swordsmanship.
The place where Gu Huaijiang and others were detained was also in the cell on the side. They could see each other, but they could not be in the same place. Yin Shuo called the Gu family a felony minister who collaborated with the enemy and treason, so he kept them all in solitary confinement, in fact, because he wanted them to suffer more psychological pain.
But Gu's family didn't let him succeed, and they didn't do nothing in prison, but they practiced their swordsmanship with wooden sticks.
"good!"
Only Gu Xiang and Gu Yi were locked in the same cell, right across from Gu Wenqing's cell, and they could clearly see all his moves.
An elderly jailer outside heard the voice and couldn't help but smile and said, "It's strange, I've been in the prison of Dali Temple for more than 20 years, and I have never seen anyone who is locked in and in the mood to practice swords. Listen, they practice. How lively it is!"
Another jailer who was about his age couldn’t help but said, “Who is that person? That’s from the Guhou Mansion, how could it be like a normal sinner? I’ll ask you, if someone really collides with the enemy and treason, how can they be thinking about it? This sword practice?"
"Hey, that can't be said!"
The few jailers who were chatting together kept secrets. This case in the Guhou Mansion caused a sensation. Among them, the old officials who spoke for the Guhou Mansion have been dismissed from office or recuperating at home, which has long caused panic.
They are just lowly jailers, how can they be qualified to say that they are innocent or something
"Ahem."
While talking, suddenly heard a dry cough, the jailer leader led a young lady in, and the maid behind him brought an exaggerated large food box.
Everyone knew this was coming to visit the prison. They got up quickly, and the head of the jailer glanced at them, "You are all fed and have nothing to do. Are you hitting farts here?"
Everyone quickly silenced, and Yin Jiyu pretended to be impatient and said: "Well, you all go out and guard outside. I want to talk to the second son alone, and I didn't tell you not to come in."
This is a drama, dare to love this lady as Gu Jiuge's confidante
The jailer nodded and bowed, "Yes, yes, please go, Miss Yin, we will be guarding outside."
As soon as they waved their hands, everyone hurriedly backed out with him, and walked all the way to inquire about him, "This lady's surname is Yin, what is the relationship with Yin Shoufu?"
"what relationship?"
The head of the jailer was not very angry and said, "It's his own sister! Not to mention, this lady is bigger than Yin Shoufu. At first glance, she was favored by the old prime minister. I don't dare to offend."
A jailer said: "Isn't it saying that people are not allowed to visit Guhou's family..."
The jailer waved his hand, "It's just a little girl who came to see her lover. Nothing can happen, don't worry!"
Yin Jizheng asked Pei'er to guard her outside, and she walked in with the big food box, and at a glance she saw Gu Hanmo dancing with wooden sticks and practicing swords.
Her nose was sore that she almost couldn't speak.
Gu Jiuge was the first to see her, "Ji Yan? Why are you here?"
The two sword practitioners stopped hurriedly, everyone's eyes fell on Yin Jizheng, Yin Jizheng hissed, "I came here by my eldest brother's name, and can't stay for too long. Are you injured? Yes. There is no news that I need to take out? Although the old man Ji and the old man Chen Ge have been dismissed, there are still old emperor uncles in the court, and many loyal ministers. They are all trying to save you!"
As she said, she distributed the things she had brought to everyone. When she was outside Gu Huaijiang’s cell, Gu Huaijiang said, "Miss Yin, has Yufu contacted you? If so, please tell her so that she can count on it. Don't come back!"
Yin Jizheng was taken aback, what he meant by...
"Could it be that Yufu contacted you?"
