48, extremely hateful
Yulian and Yucui were already full, but the conversation between Gu Qianxue and Zhou Rongqiu was still in full swing.
And there is a growing trend.
"Brother Rong Qiu, can you demonstrate lightness kung fu to me?" Gu Qianxue was so excited that her eyes almost burst into peach blossoms.
"Of course." Zhou Rongqiu paused again, and said again, "But it can't be here, Qianxue, you don't know, if you are really a martial arts person, you have martial arts. But if you are in the officialdom, this martial arts is very troublesome. It's easy to be jealous."
Gu Qianxue nodded, "That's right, I'm innocent and I'm guilty."
Zhou Rongqiu patted Gu Qianxue on the shoulder, "Hey, it's good if you understand."
Gu Qianxue patted Zhou Rongqiu on the shoulder, "Well, long live the understanding."
Yulian and Yucui, "..."
"If you can't demonstrate here, where are you going?" Gu Qianxue asked.
Zhou Rongqiu thought for a while, "If you don't mind, go to my house. My house has a big yard. In addition to a few fields for growing medicine, there is also a martial arts training ground that I built by myself, and there are no idlers in my house, only Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong."
"Okay, where is your home?" Gu Qianxue said excitedly.
"It's not far from here. We'll go to the post station and hire a carriage. We'll be there in half an hour." Zhou Rongqiu replied.
Yulian and Yucui, "..."
Yu Cui whispered, "Miss, that... Concubine Qin's illness..."
How could the cheerful Gu Qianxue hear Yu Cui's voice? "If I had known this, I shouldn't have ordered such a table of dishes. It's a waste." Now I feel sorry for Zhou Rongqiu's money.
Zhou Rongqiu was very generous, "Don't waste, don't waste, let Xiao Er pack it up, bring some to Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong, and take the rest back home, and have a supper when you're hungry in the middle of the night."
Yulian couldn't help but said, "Miss, Madam told us to return home early..."
Gu Qianxue nodded to Yulian, "You are right, you can take some leftovers back to your mother."
"Miss, that's not what I mean by servant..." Yulian explained, but unfortunately, her voice was ignored.
Looking for the waiter in the shop to make a package, Zhou Rongqiu paid for the meal with a bank note, the four of them left the dining hall and rented a carriage at the post station, and the carriage drove northwards.
The carriage disappeared at the end of the road, at the corner of the post station, and a person walked out from the darkness. The person looked at his back, then turned back and nodded to the person behind him.
After receiving the order, the person behind him immediately turned around and left, while the person before him got on his horse and followed the carriage far away.
Prince Li's Mansion.
Gong Lingyu had just returned from the palace, dressed in a dark purple court dress, her jet-black hair was tied up by a feather crown, although she still couldn't hide her hostility, she was more tolerant of an official.
After getting off the carriage, he didn't go back to his room to change his clothes, but hurried to the study with big strides, followed by Eunuch Shao and his entourage, Jun An.
Ever since Gong Lingyan returned from the palace, the entire Prince Li's mansion has been immersed in a depressing silence, all because of the gloomy expression on his master's face.
Ling Yan of Prince Li's Palace seldom had a smiling face, and he was not angry. In addition, he acted vigorously and decisively, and his methods were decisive and vicious. I'm afraid that the prince has encountered some difficult problems again.
After entering the study, "Bring the tax account books from the west." As soon as he flipped up his robe, Gong Lingyan sat on the chair, followed by a murderous look.
Eunuch Shao hurriedly brought the account book brought back from the royal study in the palace, and respectfully placed it on the table in front of Gong Lingyu. I thought to myself, now, I don't know how many officials will have their homes ransacked.
One year to clear the magistrate, one hundred thousand snowflake silver, this is a secret known to everyone in the officialdom, even the emperor keeps his eyes open and closed. It's not impossible to catch it, it just depends on whether the emperor wants to do it.
And if the emperor wants to warn, he will send someone to investigate; if he wants to rectify, he will send an imperial envoy. But now, handing over the case to His Highness Li Wang means that the emperor wants to kill him!
You know, imperial envoys can bribe, deceive, and intercede, but King Li can't.
King Li in Nanyue Kingdom is like the judge in the Palace of Hades, cruel and ruthless, stern and selfless.
Gong Lingyan got the file, flipped through it, and casually picked up the warm tea from Jun'an, with a slight sneer on his lips.
But just these invisible smiles made people shudder, like seeing the god of death and the king of Hades.
Jun An left the study and stood guard at the door when he saw a housekeeper approaching. Walk a few steps quickly, a few feet away from the door of the study, and whispered, "Uncle Fu, there is a big matter in the court today, and the master is dealing with it. If there is nothing extremely important, it is best not to report it."
The housekeeper understood and nodded, "Okay, thank you, Mr. Jun." After speaking, he turned and left.
Junan guarded the door of the study again, like a door god.
After a while, another person walked into the courtyard quickly. This person was none other than the person who was in charge of monitoring at the station just now and now came back to report the situation.
When I saw Jun An, I respectfully greeted him, "This subordinate has met Mr. Jun, and the master told his subordinates to monitor Gu Qianxue, and now I am here to report."
Junan hesitated a little, the order to monitor was indeed issued by the master, the problem is... the master is currently dealing with a major tax case in the west, and no one is there, just when Junan was conflicting about whether he should report it, the cold voice in the study came.
"Come in."
"Yes." After the man agreed, he nodded to Jun An, and then entered the study respectfully, cautiously.
"My lord, after Miss Gu and Doctor Zhou had lunch in the wing room on the third floor of the dining hall, they hired a carriage at the post station and went to Doctor Zhou's house." The person in charge of monitoring truthfully reported.
Gong Lingyan's sharp gaze was on the file all the time, with ten lines at a glance, and when he encountered any suspicious points, he would mark them with a red pen. "What did they talk about in the wing room?"
"Return to the prince, they have been exchanging about martial arts and internal strength." The man replied.
"Is there any more?" Gong Lingyan's voice was a little impatient, and there was a hint of violence in the already cold voice.
The man couldn't help shaking, and quickly thought about it carefully, then shook his head, "Go back to the prince, it's gone."
The hand holding onto the vermilion pen paused, Gong Lingyan raised his gaze from the file, and squinted at the respectful person in front of him. "They didn't talk about the concubine's condition?"
The man trembled, "Go back to the prince, they didn't talk about the condition of the empress."
"This is impossible!" As he said that, Gong Lingyu slapped the good Tiemuli book table hard, and saw that there was a slight crack on the hard tabletop.
Eunuch Shao on the side was very distressed—oh my god, this table is so precious, it seems that the table has to be changed again.
The man knelt down, "My lord, calm down, they really didn't talk about the princess' condition."
Gong Lingyan threw down the file, "It's unreasonable, didn't they agree to discuss the illness of the mother and concubine!" Then she became even more distraught, "Then what are they going to Zhou Rongqiu's house for?"
The man was trembling, "Go back to the prince, they are going...to look down on kung fu..."
"What's so good about lightness kung fu?" Gong Lingfeng wished he could use lightness kung fu to fly away immediately, catch Gu Qianxue back, and treat Concubine Qin's illness.
Damn, this woman is extremely hateful!
