Mo Linlang was stunned for a moment when she heard the words of the princess and the family servant, her eyes widened suddenly: "What? Is this true?"
"It's absolutely true." The house slave looked at Li Chaoge anxiously, and didn't even wipe the water from his eyes. It’s been a long time. Princess? Think about it quickly! Find a way!”
Mo Linlang was anxious and angry. Li Chaoge was in the Eastern Capital to slay demons and defend the country. His injuries have not yet healed, yet he is about to be sent to have a kiss? Those people in the palace ran faster than rabbits one by one when they were in danger. Now that they are safe, they want to entrap the heroes
Mo Linlang was extremely angry, but Li Chaoge was very calm, and even had a feeling that it was finally here.
After Li Chaoge was reborn, he consciously set his eyes and ears in the palace early in the morning. Tianhou's quick response and strong deterrence are due to her many eyes and ears and fans everywhere. Li Chaoge dare not compare with the queen at this stage, but it is not difficult to slowly infiltrate the deep palace.
She installed herself among the court ladies around the emperor? Not many people, just one or two. But the eyeliner is expensive but not too much, as long as the information can be sent out in time when there is trouble, it is enough.
The palace people heard the conversation between the crown prince and the emperor, and hurriedly spread it outside. The people in the Princess' Mansion received the news that Li Chaoge could not be found in Zhenyaosi, so they rushed to Zheng's house.
Li Chaoge actually felt that with the emperor's heart, he would not send his daughter to be married. A person with such a face like Tianhou will definitely not follow her. But what if
Li Chaoge did not dare to bet on the love of the emperor and the mercy of the empress. These two are politicians, Li Chaoge asked himself? Is it important enough for the emperor Tianhou to turn against her? If the emperor and the queen reached an agreement in private, then Li Chaoge would be finished.
In Li Chaoge's two lifetimes, he never believed in others, only in himself? She couldn't just passively wait for the trial, she had to do something to stop herself from being sent to be married.
The princess, the house slave and Mo Linlang all looked at Li Chaoge nervously, and Li Chaoge turned his eyes, staring at the rain outside the window for a long time, and asked suddenly: "Today is July 17?"
Li Chaoge didn't have a brain for what he said. Mo Linlang didn't think about it? Li Chaoge asked? What are you doing? She nodded and said, "Yes."
"Seventeen." Li Chaoge thought about the days leisurely. She picked up the cloak, tied it around her body with her backhand, and said to Mo Linlang: "After a while, when the rain subsides, you take other people to search the Zheng family's yard. If you find traces and evidence, bring them all back. Town demon division. After that, you can go down to the government."
Mo Linlang was slightly startled, and asked puzzledly: "Princess, where are you going?"
Hearing Li Chaoge's words, she didn't want to act together with them. What is Li Chaoge going to do? What
Li Chaoge didn't say a word, she fastened her cloak and strode out the door, her voice was cold and firm: "Prepare the horse."
Father Zheng was sitting in the front hall. For some reason, the skin of his right eye kept twitching. The Zheng family is very lively today. Princess Sheng Yuan came to investigate the case, didn't you? After a while, a man from a family named Pei came. Not long after Mr. Pei left, Princess Sheng Yuan's house slave also came to the house .
Father Zheng was inexplicably flustered. He always felt that something big was about to happen.
Father Zheng walked up and down holding hands, he was in a state of confusion, when suddenly he saw Princess Sheng Yuan wearing a cloak, striding from the backyard. Father Zheng was stunned for a moment, and hurried forward: "Princess? It's raining so hard outside, where are you going? Caomin has prepared the food and wine, why don't you sit down for a while?"
"No need." Now Li Chaoge is completely different from what she was just now, her face is cold, her eyes are dark, and the tears and moles at the corners of her eyes are full of evil. When Father Zheng saw Li Chaoge like this, he was terrified.
Everyone in Zhenyaosi who was drinking in the dining room heard the sound and hurried out. Li Chaoge took the bamboo hat and fastened the tie with her fingers lightly. She didn't wait for the demon guards to approach, she turned over and sat on the horse, and said in a loud voice: "You will follow Captain Mo's order and investigate the case carefully. If Those who dare to be lazy or disrespectful will be served by military law."
Li Chaoge's cloak is made of silk and coated with tung oil, so it won't be exposed to rain or snow. After she finished speaking, she reined in her horse and galloped away without waiting for everyone's reaction.
Everyone watched Li Chaoge wear a bamboo hat, cut through the rain curtain, and rushed into the white mist in an instant. The horse's hoof stepped on the puddle, splashing high water, and Li Chaoge's cloak fluttered in the wind and rain, like a sharp knife, severing the chaotic world.
The soldiers of the town demon division looked at Li Chaoge's back, and couldn't help asking about the people around him.
"What happened?"
"have no idea."
No one would have imagined that the rain would come so quickly. When going out in this weather, a few passers-by who hadn't had time to go home crowded under the eaves of the street, cursing and waiting for the rain to stop. Suddenly there was the sound of horseshoes on the street. They looked up in surprise and saw a woman in a black cloak sweeping past like a gust of wind. Dongdu Street was rarely so empty. Li Chaoge rode his horse, let go of the speed all the way, and soon arrived at Princess Sheng Yuan's mansion.
Seeing Li Chaoge, the people in the princess mansion rushed out to greet Li Chaoge: "Princess, why are you back? Are you here? Go find an umbrella!"
"No need?" Li Chaoge lifted the bamboo hat, and water droplets slid down the eaves of the hat, scattering like pearls with broken strings. Li Chaoge's sleeves were already wet, and the cuffs were sticking to his body, revealing a white wrist: "Call the princess? All the soldiers in the mansion, gather within half a stick of incense."
The princess, the head of the government, Shi, was frightened, and hurriedly asked: "Princess, what are you going to do? Why? Why did you suddenly summon the government soldiers?"
The princess is a first-class official, with fiefs, endowments, and fields under her name. The mansion is equipped with officials such as Shi, Cheng, Zhu? Book, and Recorder. Because of Li Chaoge's special situation, her treatment is equal to that of a prince, and there are three hundred soldiers in the mansion.
These 300 people were picked by Li Chaoge himself from the Sixteen Guards. Although the courtiers had hidden criticisms, who made the emperor and the empress dote on Li Chaoge very much. The courtiers just spend money to raise a mischievous princess? Turn a blind eye? Close one eye? It's over.
In the eyes of everyone, these 300 people are the enhanced version of guards. It is enough to open the way for the princess, to play with prestige, and to accompany the princess when hunting. No one thought that Li Chaoge would really use these people.
At this juncture, Li Chaoge summoned the government soldiers, so he didn't want to think too long. It is no secret that the Tubo people have repeatedly raised the issue of marriage. Li Chaoge is the only unengaged princess in the palace. These days, they have kept silent about this. No one dared to speak to Li Chaoge. Now Li Chaoge suddenly gathered people together, thinking? What
Chang Shi panicked instinctively, but Li Chaoge's face was cold, and she swept her eyes lightly, overflowing with murderous aura. In the end, Chang Shi didn't dare to say much, so he hurried to the back to call for someone.
The three hundred people said that there were not many, and that there were not many, and soon the street was full. Three hundred people stood neatly in the heavy rain, with their heads held high, and no one moved. Li Chaoge was riding a horse, condescending, his eyes slowly sweeping across the crowd.
The sound of rain all around? The sound of Li Chaoge? The sound is like a broken jade, clanging: "Everyone obeys the order, a team of fifty people, run forward."
As she spoke, she whipped the horse, and the horse raised its front hooves high, neighed?, broke through the water, and galloped forward quickly.
"Follow me."
All the government soldiers agreed in unison. They stepped through the puddles and ran quickly behind Li Chaoge. The sound of rain? and the sound of footsteps? overlap together, and there is a posture of swallowing mountains and rivers and moving forward.
Princess? Governor Shi was frightened by this situation. Princess? What are you going to do? If it weren't for the small number of people, Chang Shi would have suspected that the princess was going to attack the palace gate.
Chang Shi ran two steps quickly, and shouted at the top of his voice in the rain: "Princess, where are you going?"
Chang Shi yelled too hard and accidentally choked on several mouthfuls of rainwater. Li Chaoge supported the horse like flying, and quickly ran away, I don't know if I heard it? Chang Shi clutched his chest and coughed. Amidst the sound of rushing rain and footsteps, he vaguely heard a familiar name coming from ahead.
Pei Mansion.
·
Pei Mansion.
Gu Mingke looked at the person in front of him, the frost in his eyes seemed to have substance. Gu Pei's face was embarrassing. She was angry that Gu Mingke didn't give her face in front of outsiders, and she was a little afraid of Gu Mingke at this moment.
Gu Pei cleared his throat, and forced himself to speak calmly: "Ke'er, this is the third lady of Dingguo's mansion. When the country was founded, old Dingguo and? Your grandfather assisted Wenzong together. It was a fateful friendship. Your grandmother said that getting acquainted is not easy, we? People can't? Forget the friendship of our ancestors. If the younger generation gradually alienates, it will be a pity. Therefore, today, A Niang specially invited the wife of the Dingguo Mansion to come over as a guest. You guys ?The juniors also know each other, so as not to disappoint the friendship of the ancestors."
Mrs. Dingguo could not conceal her satisfaction when she saw Gu Mingke. Mrs. Ding Guogong also said: "Yes, I have long heard that Pei Lang is noble and profound, and has the legacy of his ancestors. Seeing him today, he really deserves his reputation."
A little lady in a yellow skirt snuggled up behind Mrs. Dingguo, looking at Gu Mingke shyly and cheerfully. The three women present were all smiling, but Gu Mingke was cold and out of place.
He was reading files in the study today, when Jiao Wei ran over and said that Gu Peishi had fallen ill, and told Gu Mingke to go over quickly. Gu Mingke didn't doubt that he was there, so he rushed over immediately. When he arrived, he found that Mrs. Gu Pei was sitting in the flower hall, her face was full of spring breeze, her clothes were light and thin, she didn't look sick at all.
Opposite Mrs. Gu Pei sat a lady with a high bun and hairpin flowers, and beside her was a young lady, surrounded by servants like a cloud, with a tangy fragrance, she looked very comfortable. How could Gu Mingke? Didn't realize himself? Being deceived, he turned cold-faced, turned around and left immediately, but was pulled back by Mrs. Gu Pei, who insisted on bringing him to meet the "sister".
Where did the Pei family have so many old friends? This is clearly a blind date deliberately arranged by Gu Pei. It's ridiculous that Gu Peishi lied about being sick in order to trick Gu Mingke over here.
Gu Mingke hates deception, and even more hates Gu Pei's disregard of his wishes and playing with him like an object. Gu Peishi didn't realize the seriousness of the situation at all, and enthusiastically pulled Gu Mingke to introduce him and the third lady of the Dingguo Mansion.
Sanniang of Duke Dingguo had heard of Gu Shaoqing's reputation a long time ago. At the gathering of the women's relatives earlier, many noble ladies said obsessively that Gu Shaoqing was a heavenly figure. San Niang scoffed at this, she grew up in a noble family, and met many noble men, everyone in this world has two eyes? One mouth, the difference? How big? As a result, when I met Gu Mingke today, Sanniang Dingguo was stunned.
Oh my God, the words in the original poem, such as Qingguoqingcheng, Qingyun covering the moon, Hui? Fengliuxue, are all true. Dingguo Gong Sanniang thought of what his mother had said to her earlier, her cheeks were flushed instantly, her color was like a lotus, full of girlish shyness.
If someone like Gu Shaoqing could marry him, she would be willing even if there was no dowry.
Seeing the performance of the mother and daughter in the Dingguo Mansion, Gu Pei knew that the marriage was stable. Gu Pei's face was full of joy, she waved her fan leisurely, and said: "San Niang came to Pei's house for the first time, shouldn't she be there? Turn around in Pei's house? It just so happened that the water lilies bloomed in the garden. Ke'er, you take San Niang to the house. Look at the water lilies."
Gu Peishi originally liked Pei Chuyue, but some time ago when Gu Peishi tried it out, Mrs. Pei's attitude was ambiguous, and she seemed to have other arrangements for Pei Chuyue's marriage. Feeling her mother's avoidance, Gu Peishi was immediately very upset. Gu Pei's family refused to be underestimated. She insisted on finding a daughter who was not inferior to the Pei family, so she let out a sigh of relief.
Gu Pei picked and picked, and set his sights on the lady of Duke Ding's mansion. Like the Pei family, the Dingguo government is also the founding father of the country, but the Dingguo government is from martial arts, and the Pei family is from literature. After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, the Pei family’s family style was strict, and the nephews still controlled the important positions in the court, and the generals’ family rules were not enough, and there were no wars to fight in the peaceful and prosperous age. The portal is slowly falling behind.
But no matter what, the Dingguo Mansion's family property is there, even if it takes credit from the ancestors, it can last for several generations. Gu Pei tried his best to connect with Mrs. Dingguo, and arranged for the two children to meet in private. Although a man should establish himself with his talents and virtues and not show off his appearance, but Gu Pei is sure that as long as the little lady meets Gu Mingke himself, no one will be willing to refuse.
It turns out that Gu Pei's guess was right.
The third lady of Dingguo's mansion couldn't hide the joy on her face when she heard the tour. But Gu Mingke was very cold. He pushed Gu Pei's hand away, his voice was cold, like ice hitting jade, and he couldn't hear any emotion: "It's raining today, so it's not suitable to go to the garden. Mom thinks? If you want to see water lilies, go and see it yourself." , Is there any case in Dali Temple? I’m going to leave first after I’m done.”
"Hey!" Gu Pei was surprised, stood up quickly, and called Gu Mingke, "Why are you still thinking about the case when you rest today? There are so many people in Dali Temple, and you are the only one missing? It's rare that the wife of Dingguo's mansion came Now, come here quickly and talk to Madam."
Gu Peishi said that he was going to pull Gu Mingke's arm, but Gu Mingke moved slightly, avoiding Gu Peishi's hand calmly and resolutely. Gu Peishi fell to the ground, his face was obviously ugly.
Gu Mingke was concerned that this was her mother after all, didn't he? He didn't turn around and walk away, he found an excuse and said: "I deal with the criminal law all day long, and what I deal with is either murder cases or death sentences. I'm afraid Mrs. Dingguo is not I’m willing to listen. Let’s talk slowly, so I won’t disturb the interest of you.”
Gu Mingke felt that he had already given Gu Peishi a lot of face, but Gu Peishi's face darkened, thinking that Gu Mingke was deliberately against her. Gu Pei said coldly, "You don't even listen to my words? I just asked you to do some small things, but you push back and forth. Do you still have my mother in your eyes?"
Gu Mingke's eyes were indifferent, and he said: "If I didn't treat Madam as my mother, I wouldn't be here today. On the contrary, I'm afraid Madam didn't treat me like a son."
"You..." Gu Peishi was furious. At this time, there were maids shouting from outside the flower hall. Gu Peishi frowned and turned her head. As a distinguished guest, I saw Pei Chuyue coming. Holding her skirt, Pei Chuyue quickly ran down the corridor, followed by a large group of maids, shouting anxiously: "Lady, Mrs. Gu is waiting for guests, can't you go over..."
The maids chased after her, but could they? Could they? Stop Pei Chuyue. Pei Chuyue stopped in front of Gu Mingke out of breath, out of breath: "Cousin, I heard that there are guests coming today, is it true?"
Mrs. Dingguo and Mrs. San Niang in the flower hall stood up in surprise when they saw this change. Seeing this, the maids in the back sighed angrily, and saluted helplessly: "Mrs. Gu, Mrs. Dingguo, Mr. Biao."
Gu Peishi looked at Pei Chuyue, who had flushed cheeks, and then at the distraught maids behind, and she immediately understood. Gu Pei held the round fan, shook his arms slowly, and said with a smile, "Who am I? ? This is the third lady of Dingguo's family, who is about the same age as? You, come and get acquainted."
Dongdu is just that big, and the third wife of Duke Dingguo's mansion and Pei Chuyue have met each other before, but they have different circles, so they don't have much social interaction. At this moment, the two girls bumped into each other unexpectedly, and they were a little embarrassed.
San Niangzi and Pei Chuyue were blessed with each other, and there was something wrong with their expressions. The woman's intuition is the most accurate. Although the two of them didn't have any grievances before, at this moment, they both felt a subtle hostility.
Pei Chuyue didn't know anything at first, and the people around her kept trying to hide it from her. If she hadn't heard the maid chatting, Pei Chuyue wouldn't have known that her aunt was going to show her cousin today.
When Pei Chuyue heard this, she was in a daze, and immediately couldn't think of anything, only knew that she had to stop her. Pei Chuyue ran all the way regardless of her reserve. She had already thought about how her mother and grandmother would scold her, but Pei Chuyue didn't care at all. If she didn't stop her, she would definitely go crazy.
Pei Chuyue was full of enthusiasm, mixed with bitterness and sourness in her heart, and threw herself at herself? She knew the tragic ending. On the way, she obviously had so many things to say? She told her cousin, but when she really stood in front of Gu Mingke, Pei Chuyue couldn't say a word.
Pei Chuyue could only stammer and shout, "Cousin...cousin."
Long time no see, my cousin is still bright and bright, his brilliance remains unchanged, and there is more of a wordless majesty on his body. Standing in front of him, Pei Chuyue felt ashamed.
Pei Chuyue's mood was tortuous and tortuous, but Gu Mingke didn't know anything about it. He glanced at Pei Chuyue lightly and said, "Just now, my cousin is here. Just now, the third lady wanted to go to the garden. I don't want to stay for a long time, so I will Let my cousin lead the way."
As he spoke, he nodded slightly to the crowd, turned around and left without hesitation. Gu Pei was furious and called Gu Mingke several times, but Gu Mingke ignored him.
Jiao Wei was forced to watch a good show. He turned his head and glanced at the furious madam, the teary cousin, and the third lady of Dingguo Duke's Mansion who seemed to have lost something, and couldn't help but clicked his tongue.
It can't be seen that their young master still has the potential to cause disaster. Jiao Wei approached quietly, and asked in a low voice: "My lord, even if you don't like Miss Biao, the third lady of Duke Dingguo's mansion is beautiful and quiet, why? You don't like it either?"
"Speak carefully." Gu Mingke said coldly, "What do they have to do with me?"
Jiao Wei's face wrinkled into a ball: "But, son, you always want to get married. You don't like the spoiled and lively Miss Biao, and you don't like the quiet and well-behaved Third Lady, so what type do you like? "
Gu Mingke's eyes were cold and unwavering: "I have other tasks, and I have no interest in marrying a wife and starting a family. Don't talk about these things in the future."
Jiao Wei's eyes widened in shock. Could it be that the young master really doesn't want to be married? Jiao Wei immediately wailed: "No, son! You are the only heir to the third generation of the Gu family. If you don't get married, won't the Gu family be extinct?"
What Jiao Wei said was sincere, but Gu Mingke didn't make any waves. Ordinary people have limited vision, and they attach great importance to the incense of offspring. But even after giving birth to a child, it will still be a handful of loess after a hundred years, so why be persistent? Just as Gu Mingke was about to make his words clear, completely cutting off the thoughts of the Gu family and Gu Pei's family, he suddenly heard shouts from outside.
The servants of the Pei family ran over in terror, and shouted from a long distance: "Master Biao, madam, something is wrong! Princess Sheng Yuan? Bring people to surround our house!"
Gu Mingke was startled when he heard this, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Who?"
The servant of the Pei family ran over with a panicked look on his face: "What else? Who is that evil princess Sheng Yuan? Ah!"
The Pei family was shocked when they heard that the outside of the mansion was surrounded by soldiers. Gu Pei's heart twitched violently when he heard the message from his subordinates: "What? What? In the Tai? Ping times, the troops were besieged the mansion, either rebelling or ransacking the house, Princess Sheng Yuan? Is she crazy?"
Mrs. Dingguo panicked when she heard that, several female family members stood together, confused, and rushed to Gu Mingke's side by coincidence. Gu Peishi couldn't care about the filth just now, and walked towards Gu Mingke in a panic, holding up the hem of her skirt: "Ke'er, what's going on? What's going on?"
Hearing this title, Gu Mingke frowned slightly, and suppressed his displeasure abruptly. He didn't speak, and looked up to the outside of the courtyard.
Faint voices could be heard there. Li Chaoge led people to break through the door of Pei's house, and ran amok all the way: "Where is Gu Mingke?"
The servants of the Pei family stood in front of Li Chaoge with difficulty: "Princess Sheng Yuan? The Pei family has always been a holy family, and our old lady is even a heroine bestowed by the late emperor! You forced your way into Pei's mansion, and Pei Xianghe? The old lady will not let you go lightly." yours!"
None of the servants? Seeing Li Chaoge's movements clearly, a sword was held against his neck. You can feel the fierceness and coldness on the sword through the scabbard, and the servant can't help shaking. Li Chaoge glanced at him coldly and said, "Noisy."
Li Chaosinger exerted a slight force on his wrist, and the servant was thrown far away. She went all the way as if she was in a no-man's land. After entering the door, she soon saw Gu Mingke.
Gu Peishi was trembling in panic when she suddenly heard the sound of uniform footsteps coming from outside. When she turned her head, she saw Li Chaoge leading a crowd of people walking in. Gu Peishi's eyes darkened, and she almost fainted. The maids hurriedly supported Gu Peishi, and Pei Chuyue and the female family members of Duke Ding's mansion also fled back in shock.
Only Gu Mingke stood where he was, with a calm expression. He stood in the porch with his hands behind his back in a leisurely manner, and the long wind blew the rain through, and his sleeves fluttered slowly. He wanted to see what Li Chaoge was going to do.
Although the cloak on Li Chaoge's body was waterproof, after so long tossing around, his clothes were already wet. She stretched out her hand to lift the bamboo hat, the rainwater slanted and slid down from both sides, looking from a distance it seemed to be decorated with a circle of silver beads.
Li Chaoge glanced at these people, raised his eyebrows, and smiled with interest: "So many people? Gu Shaoqing is so busy even on the day of rest?"
Gu Mingke stood on the steps, he was high, she was low, he was under the eaves, and she was in the rain. Gu Mingke glanced lightly at the soldiers behind Li Chaoge, and recognized that these men were not the faces of the demon town masters. Gu Mingke felt a little interesting, and she rushed to the door with all her might, but she didn't have someone to lead the town demon, but used the private soldiers of the princess's mansion. That means that she wants to separate this action from the town of demons.
Gu Mingke said unhurriedly, "It's not as good as the princess? Princess? Rainy day brought so many people to visit, why?"
Gu Mingke fulfilled her wish, and did not call her a commander, but called her a princess. Li Chaoge also changed his title, and said with a smile, "No? What? I found a good painting two days ago. I want to invite Mr. Gu to the princess' mansion to have a look."
Gu Peishi raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "What? Princess? Is this the look of inviting someone? Thanks to the princess? Love, but Ke'er has other things to do, so I can't spare time, so I'm sorry."
The corners of Li Chaoge's lips twitched slightly. She had been in the rain for a long time, her face was washed white and clear by the rain, and there were a few strands of wet hair on her temples. In contrast to the colors, her lips were extremely red: "Will you go?" , can you? Not you."
