Aunt Xiang said: "But your wedding is coming soon. If you go back, I'm afraid you won't be able to make it."

Ye Mengruo said: "It's fine if the wedding date is earlier or later, but Weiwei can't wait, so I'm very worried."

Aunt Xiang knew about the friendship between the two girls and sighed.

As soon as he heard that Xiao Meng'er was going back, Mr. Xu knew that it would be very difficult.

Thinking of Xiao Wei'er's many misfortunes, she finally achieved success with Chang Ling, but she didn't expect to encounter this again.

He was angrily, "Who is so crazy that he planted poison on Xiao Wei'er when she was still a child?"

Gu Changling tightened his palms slightly and suddenly asked Ye Mengruo: "Ms. Ye must have met Sun Yi, right?"

Ye Mengruo paused, "Do you suspect that Sun Yi planted it for Weiwei?"

She shook her head, "It's unlikely. You have to be exposed to this Gu from a very young age. Sun Yi didn't even know Weiwei at that time, so it's impossible to choose her, right?"

Gu Changling asked: "What does Sun Yi look like?"

None of them have ever seen.

Ye Mengrao felt disgusted when he thought of Sun Yi's drooping skin, "It's ugly, very old, like dry tree bark."

Gu Changling asked: "How old do you look?"

"Seventy or eighty."

"Does he have the stooped look of an old man in his seventies or eighties?"

After saying this, Ye Mengruo noticed that Sun Yi was very old, but he walked like the wind.

When she was in the cave, she was almost climbing to the entrance of the cave, but Sun Yi dragged her back easily without any difficulty.

"Maybe not."

Gu Changling said again: "Take a closer look at Mr. Xu."

Mr. Xu looked confused, "Look what I'm doing, I'm not even seventy or eighty yet!"

Aunt Xiang laughed, "Yes, you are still young."

When others said this, Mr. Xu thought it must be a lie, but when Xiang'er said it, Mr. Xu replied uncomfortably, "Yeah, I'm not young anymore."

Ye Mengruo looked at Mr. Xu's wrinkles and suddenly understood.

Sun Yi is very old, but not in a normal way. The droopy skin does not look like the traces of natural aging, but rather seems to have been deprived of something and suddenly relaxed.

"It's possible that he practiced evil arts and ruined his appearance, but what does it have to do with Weiwei?"

Gu Changling said: "Do you still remember what Lu Xingyi said before he died?"

He once told Weiwei to be careful about Sun Yi and Su Mei.

When Weiwei said this, everyone paid more attention to Ye Mengruo.

Because she was the only one who was planted with an unknown poison by Sun Yi.

But now, Gu Changling suddenly thought, "Is it possible that Sun Yi's words were actually said by Lu Xingyi to Weiwei?"

Lu Xingyi was indeed crazy for power, but no matter how he used her, he probably never thought about taking Weiwei's life in the end.

Moreover, Weiwei said that he had the power of prophecy and knew more than she did.

Therefore, Gu Changling speculated that Lu Xingyi had known about Sun Yi's past for a long time and knew that Weiwei had a poison in her body, so she gave this single warning before her death.

But Weiwei was always normal at that time and couldn't see anything, so she delayed her discovery until now.

Ye Mengruo was almost confused. Wasn't she the ultimate goal of cooperating with the old man?

She didn't understand, "But...if it's Sun Yi, doesn't that mean he has known Weiwei a long time ago?"

Gu Changling was silent for a moment, "About this, I want to go to the Duke's Mansion to confirm something."

Ye Mengruo immediately followed, "I'll go with you. I want to find Ah Chao."

She will leave tomorrow to say goodbye to Ah Chao.

Gu Changling looked back and untied Weiwei's sleeping hole.

She didn't wake up either, she just frowned, mumbled, "Aling..." and then fell asleep again.

Gu Changling touched her ear, then asked Mr. Xu and Aunt Xiang to take good care of Weiwei, and left with Ye Mengruo.

The moon is like a silver plate, and the night is as cold as water.

The two horses galloped down the street and did not stop until they reached the Duke's palace.

Gu Changling went to find Yun Zhen, and Ye Mengruo went to find A Chao, but the future father-in-law told him that A Chao was not there.

"Mengrao, why are you here? Ah Chao just rode away."

Ye Mengruo then knew that Achao had gone to the Nanping Marquis Mansion.

Going so late, I thought he wouldn't come today.

She immediately rode back again.

Yun Zhen was not asleep yet. He was still wearing his daytime clothes. His hair was frosty white, but his eyes were like an eagle.

Never defeated before...

After he asked someone to pour tea for Gu Changling, he was surprised, "Chang Ling came here in the middle of the night. What's the matter?"

Gu Changling held up his hands and said, "I'm sorry for bothering my father-in-law late at night, but there's just one thing. I have to come and ask you. If you don't know how to be a father-in-law, can you lend me a step to speak?"

Yun Zhen took him to the study.

After the door was closed, Gu Changling said directly: "My son-in-law wants to know about my second uncle Yunzhuo and why he left the house back then."

Yun Zhen paused, and his tone seemed a little unhappy, "Why did you suddenly come to ask him in the middle of the night?"

Gu Changling told the reason.

Yun Zhen was shocked after hearing this, "What, Wei'er was poisoned? How is she now?"

"It's okay for the time being, but neither Miss Ye nor Mr. Xu can find out the specific cause, so they can only investigate from the source."

The source is Weiwei's vague memory of her second uncle, Ru Shi's accidental glimpse, and Lu Xingyi's last words.

Various signs made Gu Changling feel that his second uncle was not simple.

It also gave him a bold speculation...

"This matter may be related to Weiwei's life. I would like to ask my father-in-law to inform me in detail and not to hide anything."

Yun Zhen was silent for a moment and sighed softly, "Actually, there is nothing to hide. After many years, I don't mind anymore. He is more stubborn. He has never come back all these years."

His younger brother has no ambition to inherit the title and only focuses on studying medicine.

But it’s not okay to study too hard...

Yun Zhen looked at the candlelight, his eyes covered with a layer of white mist, and his memories seemed to be pulled away...

When Gu Changling came out of the Duke's Mansion, the moonlight was hidden in the clouds, light and miserable.

He looked at the concentric lock in his hand. It was old under the moonlight.

……

When Yunwei woke up the next day, she was surprised to find that A Ling had not left, but was sitting on the couch reading a book.

Wearing the simplest green clothes, with dark hair hanging down his back, the morning sunlight fell on his hand turning over the book, light and refreshing, like jade and smoke...

She hugged the quilt and looked at it without making a sound.

Caught off guard, Gu Changling looked back, and a ray of sunlight passed over his eyes, shining brightly.

"woke up?"

"Ah."

He put down his book and came over.

Yunwei hugged his waist, buried her head in his arms and nuzzled him, smelling the elegant fragrance of ink.

Gu Changling was amused and straightened her messy hair, "Get up and eat."

Yun Wei said oh, a little surprised: "You didn't go to court today?"

"Well, take a rest today."

In March, when all the major vassal princes came to Beijing, Gu Changling was indeed busy with work and had not taken a break for a long time.

Yun Wei said: "You should have a good rest, otherwise I'm worried that your body won't be able to bear it if you wake up early and stay late until late at night."

Officials in ancient times worked really hard. They had to go to court at Mao hour, so at Yin hour they had to get up, dress up, have something to eat, and queue up. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to be late.

Moreover, Aling participated in many discussions and came back late.

Yunwei also felt sorry for her husband, "Then you have a good rest at home today. Why are you getting up so early?"

Gu Changling chose a light green dress for her to match his clothes today.

Waiting for her to dress, "I've been busy lately and haven't gone out with you for a walk. I heard that there is a temple fair today and I want to take you to see it."

Speaking of which, the two of them seldom went shopping together. Yunwei was more excited and hurriedly got up to change clothes, wash up, and eat.

As soon as the two sat down, Ruyu suddenly came to report, "Princess, Miss Zisu is here."
