689, house arrest 1
Thinking of the situation of his beloved woman, Pei Xiang just slammed his fist on the table, "Gu Qingze, Gu Qianxue! I won't let you go!"
Xue Xufeng remained silent.
"I told you to do well before." Pei Xiang's voice was very low, and his tone was very low, revealing a kind of weirdness. "The next thing I want you to do is the most important thing."
"Master Taishan does what he tells, and he will go through fire and water, and my son-in-law will not hesitate to do so." Xue Xufeng expressed his opinion.
"You hand over this letter to Lord Wang yourself," he said, taking out a letter from the drawer of the bookcase beside him.
Although Xue Xufeng was calm on the surface, he was very anxious inside.
The Mr. Wang mentioned by Pei Xiang is named Wang Xia, and he is the new mayor of Quzhi City in Chu Yan Kingdom. Only with the cooperation of Wang Xia can the trumped-up charges be placed on the head of Zhenyuan General Zhao Yuanzheng.
Some time ago, he did a lot of immoral things for Prime Minister Pei, but most of them were assigned servants, and he was never required to go there in person, but this time...
Xue Xufeng was secretly startled, and his mind was spinning quickly. While trying to figure out what Prime Minister Pei was thinking, he wondered if Prime Minister Pei had discovered something.
There were thousands of turns in my heart, but I didn't show it.
After Prime Minister Pei explained, he let him go back, and started to work by himself.
Xue Xufeng returned to Xue's residence with a heavy heart.
"Master, you are back." The butler Marvin said vigorously.
"You come with me." Xue Xufeng brought his confidant butler into the study, and then told everything that happened.
The letter is on the table.
Ma Wenli was also lost in thought, "It stands to reason that the Prime Minister trusts the master so much, he wouldn't cross the river and tear down the bridge, right?"
Xue Xufeng stared at the letter on the table, "Don't be afraid of anything else, I'm just afraid that the old fox will find out about Pei's disease."
Mrs. Pei did not fall ill, but was poisoned. Apart from Xue Xufeng, only Ma Wenli knew about it.
The two were lost in thought.
Xue Xufeng suddenly reached out to pick up the letter and studied it, "Should I read this letter or not?"
Ma Wenli had no idea and dared not say anything.
Xue Xufeng squinted, rubbing the envelope in his hands, "Go out, I have to think about countermeasures."
"Yes, master." Ma Wenli withdrew.
In the room, Xue Xufeng was the only one, looking at the envelope while thinking carefully.
How could Xue Xufeng have thought that this letter itself was a temptation, as long as he opened the envelope, a kind of hunting smoke would spray out and stain his clothes and skin. Appear, and this overbearing dye can be stained for more than a month.
Fortunately, Xue Xufeng did not open the letterhead at the end.
A night of nightmares.
All kinds of nightmares, about myself, about the Zhao family, about King Li, the nightmare of Nanyue Kingdom and the modern nightmare.
Before dawn, Gu Qianxue didn't know that this was the first time she was awakened by a nightmare, her whole body was dripping with cold sweat, and finally she simply got up and stopped sleeping.
Although she didn't sleep, her low mood made her unable to muster any energy.
Just like this, I sat there until the early morning.
When Yucui quietly entered the room and saw Gu Qianxue who was sitting stiffly on the bed with an ugly face, she was startled, "Princess, what's wrong with you, are you feeling unwell?"
Qian Renxue shook her head, "It's nothing, just ask someone to prepare hot water, I want to take a bath."
Yu Cui was still worried, "If the princess is not feeling well, please don't carry it on your shoulders. The servants will go to the doctor."
"Yucui, have you ever encountered such a situation," Qianxue said, "I always vaguely feel that something is going to happen, but in fact it didn't happen."
Yu Cui thought about it carefully, and said, "Is it possible that the Princess has not slept well recently? These days, the Princess is indeed suffering."
Gu Qianxue also sighed, "Maybe I'm suspicious."
Concubine Xilan died suddenly. In fact, it was the mysterious black hand who cut off the clues. In addition, the second prince also left. Gu Qianxue concluded that the black hand would not take any more actions in a short time. In other words, this period of time is safe, and she can adjust her state and look for clues.
But why frequent nightmares
Soon, hot water will be ready.
"Princess, why don't you eat breakfast before taking a bath? I'm afraid you'll lose your strength if you take a bath on an empty stomach." Yu Cui carefully persuaded.
"No, I don't have any appetite, let's talk about breakfast." Throwing down a few words, Qianxue got off the bed with bare feet.
It's a blessing, not a curse, and it's a disaster that can't be avoided.
It's a pity that the previous sentence was not verified, but the bad luck of the latter sentence came.
Gu Qianxue, who hadn't slept well all night, soaked in the tub drowsily, but heard a noise outside the door, because it was far away, she couldn't hear it very clearly, but she vaguely heard something like "the emperor has an order" and "you must not violate it." "Wait, in general, flustered.
If she had encountered such a situation in the past, she might have jumped out of the tub, put on her clothes and asked what happened.
But now, they are still soaking leisurely, as if what happened in the yard is just a trivial matter.
Maybe, after what happened to Concubine Ceylon, nothing can stimulate her nerves anymore.
The matter of Concubine Xilan dealt a big blow to Gu Qianxue. People who were alive one moment were killed the next. Even a doctor who has experienced many deaths is still sad.
Will one day she also die in such an unexplained way
Outside the house was the Ouchi guards, who personally came to arrest Zhao and Gu Qianxue's mother and daughter. Gu Qianxue, who was dressed and went out, was shocked—the charge was that Marshal Zhao was collaborating with the enemy and treason? How can this be
Although she subconsciously thought that there was something wrong with this matter, Gu Qianxue couldn't judge it lightly, after all, she had never met Marshal Zhao.
Gu Shangshu, who had just left the mansion, heard about this incident and hurried back, pushed through the crowd and squeezed into the courtyard, and said to the military officer in charge, "My lord, next is Gu Qingze, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, who came back in a hurry, but didn't know what happened. "
The two were colleagues, and the head military officer was quite polite and returned the gift.
"It turned out to be Lord Shangshu. In the name of the emperor, I invited Mrs. Gu and Princess Qianxue into the palace."
Gu Shangshu was in a hurry, "I have heard about Marshal Zhao, and I think that Marshal Zhao is loyal, there must be a misunderstanding, but even so, Madam and Qianxue are members of the Gu family, not the Zhao family, and have nothing to do with Marshal Zhao! "
The military officer said, "Master Shangshu may have misunderstood. The emperor just invited his wife and princess into the palace, not imprisoned. Besides, from the perspective of colleagues, I would like to advise my lord that the case of Marshal Zhao is of great importance. The emperor is furious. Madam and princess can avoid suspicion by entering the palace, there is no harm in all benefits, don't worry, my lord."
Gu Qianxue was still not awake from the shock, but Zhao Shi ran over crying, "Master, they are all bad guys, drive them all out! Get out!"
