In the whole night after that, whenever Gu Chengfeng hugged Gu Xiaobao, Gu Xiaobao would get into his arms to feed.
Gu Chengfeng, who had just ridiculed his eldest brother, finally realized what it means to be "a man can't float, if he floats, he will be knifed"!
The Gu brothers returned after having dinner at Bishui Hutong.
Before leaving, Gu Changqing taught Xiao Jingkong a set of boxing techniques, and Xiao Jingkong learned it with relish. He practiced tirelessly in the backyard by himself, even calling him to take a shower.
"Forget it, let him play for a while, he won't go to school tomorrow anyway." Gu Jiao said to Yu Ya'er.
Yuya'er said: "Then I will send the hot water to Xiao Gongzi and Xiao Shun's house first, and let Xiao Shun wash first."
The order of bathing at home is from childhood to adulthood, and Gu Xiaobao has already washed them.
"Go." Gu Jiao said.
Yuya went with the hot water.
Gu Jiao went to the kitchen to help Momma Fang clean up, but Momma Fang wouldn't let her do it: "It's not that I'm too old to move! I do this and that all day long, I'm free to eat dry food!"
This is not an exaggeration. Everyone in the family is not an uncle. Even the laziest Gu Yan knows that he has to peel a corn and water the vegetable field. The household chores are almost shared. .
Seeing this, Gu Jiao didn't insist on entering the kitchen room anymore. She went back to the east room to pack her things, and she had to go to the hospital in a while. Before leaving, she wanted to say hello to her family.
The rest of the people saw it, but Xiao Heng was neither in the study nor in the Westinghouse.
Gu Jiao snorted: "strange, where did you go?"
Xiao Heng went to the next door.
In fact, Gu Changqing was also there.
It was impossible for Gu Changqing to not be surprised when such a big thing happened in Xianleju. After Gu Chengfeng got on the carriage back to the house, he lied to Gu Chengfeng that he was going to the military camp, but he actually came next door.
"Liu Quan, go outside to guard, don't let people hear." Lao Jijiu said to Liu Quan.
"Yes, sir."
Liu Quan was vigilantly guarding the door.
The three sat down in the study.
The old sacrificial wine said: "Tell me, what's the matter?"
Gu Changqing glanced at Xiao Heng and said, "There is an accident in Xianleju, what news do you have from the Ministry of Punishment?"
"Yes." Xiao Heng was a little more frank to Gu Changqing than to Xing Shangshu, except that Mo Qianxue mistook him for another person, he almost made it clear, including the young master of Xianleju.
He didn't say that the young master was told to him by Mo Qianxue.
Gu Changqing thought that he found it through the means of the Ministry of Punishment.
Gu Changqing was silent, he really didn't expect such a shocking thing: "I thought it was just a rumor... What is the purpose of Xianleju?"
Xiao Heng thought about it seriously and said, "The ultimate goal is not clear, but Jiaojiao seems to be blocking the way of the young master of Xianleju, and Xianleju has attacked Jiaojiao."
Gu Changqing's face suddenly turned cold!
Xiao Heng said: "But Xian Leju made a mistake this time. The people they sent couldn't attack Jiaojiao, so don't worry about Jiaojiao for the time being."
Gu Changqing's eyes were still cold: "Is there anything I can help you with?"
Xiao Heng said: "Check the details of the young master of Xianleju, all the past, all the people you know, all the things you have done, the more detailed the better. And we must investigate secretly, and never let anyone find out."
Gu Changqing pondered for a moment, and said, "I will tell Your Majesty that I will leave the capital to comfort the families of the soldiers of the Gu family who died in the line of duty."
The old sacrificial wine nodded approvingly, which was a good reason.
After Gu Changqing left, Lao Jijiu said to Xiao Heng, "Do you have anything else to say?"
Lao Jijiu knew Xiao Heng too well, others couldn't see through Xiao Heng's emotions, but he would not be easily fooled.
After all, Xiao Heng's black-bellied ability was taught by him.
"The gang might be here."
"That group of people?" The old sacrifice wine frowned, trying to think about who Xiao Heng could call that group of people.
After a long while, he frowned, "You mean... people from the country of Yan?"
Xiao Heng nodded slowly.
He didn't block the way of the young master of Xianleju. If he was the young master of Xianleju, he would definitely focus on subduing him, and it would not be too late to kill if he could not subdue him.
Someone else must have killed him.
He sat in the current position, and there were many people who envied him, but there were too few eyes who really had the courage to move him and have the strength to enter Xianleju.
The entire Zhao Kingdom can be said to have almost none.
Does Master Zhuang not want to touch him? But Mrs. Zhuang didn't have the courage to challenge the bottom line of Empress Dowager Zhuang.
At most, Mrs. Zhuang used a little power to suppress him.
Those who are not as strong as Master Zhuang, Xianleju disdain, Xianleju looks up to him, and have no grievances or enmity with him, Xiao Heng.
After thinking about it, there is only one last possibility left.
The old sacrificial wine sighed deeply: "Oh, now I finally understand why Princess Xinyang would rather let you live in the people, ignore you, and don't bring you back to the capital."
The power of the upper country is really not something that ordinary people can contend with.
They hid so flawlessly, but the other party still smelled Xiao Heng's breath.
The old sacrificial wine said earnestly: "Princess Xinyang is not in the capital these days, you have to be more careful yourself."
Xiao Heng said: "They don't have the courage to attack me in the capital for the time being." Otherwise, they wouldn't have done such a big game to lead him out of the city.
There is a question that Lao Jijiu can't figure out: "The forces of Shangguo want to kill you, but they dare not kill you too blatantly. What are they afraid of? The Marquis of Xuanping? The royal family of Zhaoguo?"
The old sacrificial wine carefully analyzed what happened, and found that the group of people were getting more and more careful. At first, when they assassinated Xiao Heng's mother, they dared to sneak into Xuanping Hou's mansion. hand up.
As for now, they don't even dare to act rashly in the capital.
There must be some reason for this.
Lao Jijiu said thoughtfully: "I always feel that your mother is not a female slave."
Xiao Heng has long since lost this knot. Whose blood is flowing in his body, to Jiaojiao and her family, he is just Xiao Heng.
He didn't care about his situation, he said, "It doesn't matter what it is, now it's time to solve the big trouble of Xianleju."
Lao Jijiu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Have you told Zhuang Jinse about Xianleju? What is her attitude? Does she prefer Jiaojiao or that person?"
The next day was bright, and Ning An woke up early.
She went to Huangfuxian's house first. Huangfuxian was still sleeping. She looked at the injuries on his cheeks and the backs of his hands, took out the gold sore medicine in the drawer and applied it to him,
The golden sore medicine didn't seem to be the same as the bottle she gave, but she didn't care too much.
Then she went to Renshou Palace to greet Empress Dowager Zhuang and have breakfast with Empress Dowager Zhuang.
Empress Dowager Zhuang doesn't have to go to court early now, she really has a lot of free time.
While Empress Dowager Zhuang was washing up, Princess Ning An quietly waited in Empress Dowager Zhuang's bedroom.
After a while, people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs came over and handed a tray covered with silk to Eunuch Qin.
Eunuch Qin sent the tray into Empress Dowager Zhuang's bedroom again.
"What is this?" Princess Ning'an asked softly.
"It was sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Eunuch Qin said.
"I'll take a look." Princess Ning An took off the silk cloth covering her head.
I saw that there was a royal purple gold token on the tray, engraved with the word "protect the country", and next to the token was a phoenix crown made of purple gold.
"Is this... Princess Protector's token and phoenix crown?" Princess Ning'an was so shocked that she couldn't speak.
Not everyone can have the title of protecting the country. In this dynasty, it can be said that no princess can afford it.
And now, Princess Ning'an is about to be crowned with the title of Princess Protector.
How could this not make Ning An happy
The calmness she had cultivated at the frontier all disappeared at this moment. She reached out her hand excitedly, picked up the phoenix crown and put it on her head, grabbed the token in the tray, and turned towards Looking in the bronze mirror.
However, before she could see her majestic appearance, a figure wearing a royal blue phoenix robe came majestic.
The figure's owner swiped off the phoenix crown on her head!
Everything happened so fast, Princess Ning'an didn't react at all. She sat on the chair, her body and hair were violently pulled, and the delicate bun was taken away.
There was no pity in Empress Zhuang's eyes.
Empress Dowager Zhuang looked at her condescendingly, and a powerful aura burst forth: "This is something Aijia prepared for Jiaojiao, who gave you the courage to move?"
Princess Ning An looked at Empress Dowager Zhuang who suddenly appeared in disbelief. She didn't know whether to be surprised by Empress Dowager Zhuang's appearance or what Empress Dowager Zhuang said.
Obviously yesterday was... why today...
This attitude really caught people off guard.
Ning An looked at Empress Zhuang in shock and hurt: "Empress mother?"
Empress Dowager Zhuang snatched the national protection token from her hand again, and said indifferently, "Don't call me Empress Aijia, you are not worthy!"
