Wait until Pei Chun regains his abilities.

He refused to back down and drew his sword, pointing it at the woman in black in front of him.

He also used his other hand to cover Xiaobai and looked warily at the woman in black opposite him.

Just as the woman in black was about to wave again.

The princess suddenly said, "Madam, you have been looking at what my Mingcheng is holding. Do you recognize this snow-white insect?"

Unexpectedly, when the woman heard this, a hint of sarcasm flashed in her eyes.

"Of course I know. Xiaobai's is the sacred object of my Su family. How could I not know?"

The woman in black spoke in a deep voice.

Pei Chun was surprised, but she remembered that Gu Yuan once said that her mother had died in the imperial palace in Western Xinjiang a long time ago.

Then this person must not be their brothers' mother.

She frowned, and her tone showed no sign of improving: "Your Su family's sacred object?

Then what is your relationship with my prince consort?

Also, why did you want to see my prince consort just now? "

She believed what Gu Yuan said. Could the woman in front of her be Gu Yuan's aunt or cousin?

But Pei Chun had never heard Gu Yuan say that he had an aunt or a cousin...

Pei Chun had a bad feeling in his heart. If this woman wanted to see Gu Yuan out of goodwill, then wouldn't she have caused a huge misunderstanding?

The woman opposite finally looked in the direction of Pei Chun and the princess: "You ask him to come out and see me, and he will naturally know who I am."

When Pei Chun heard this unspoken request, he thought about Gu Chen's current status.

It was really hard to let go, and she was about to retort.

The princess pinched her gently and said, "Mingcheng, go and call your husband over.

It's just a one-time meeting, and your husband is not someone you don't want to see."

The eldest princess lifted the back of Pei Chun's hand and took a look, confirming that the place where Xiaobai had bitten had disappeared a lot.

Then he relaxed a little and sat down.

Not only that, he waved his hand and asked Nanny Qin to replace the tea for the slim woman in black in front of him.

Pei Chun didn't understand why her mother did this, but seeing her mother winking at her, although she felt dissatisfied, she still did as her mother said.

Ask the butler at the door to invite Gu Chen out.

The eldest princess's order seemed to appease the woman opposite.

She finally sat down calmly.

He picked up the teacup beside him, placed it in his palm and rotated it to examine it carefully.

However, Pei Chun did not see the woman take off her mask and drink tea.

This woman exudes a weird atmosphere everywhere, and her whole body is wrapped in mysterious black clothes.

There are poisonous insects all over the body that are hard to guard against.

She always felt that as long as she got close to this woman, she would be stung by the poisonous insects that were everywhere on her body.

It was a world of difference compared to Gu Yuan, who wore brightly colored clothes all day and exuded fragrance.

Pei Chun is not a literary master, and he doesn't know how to describe the difference between the two people.

She just felt that although Gu Yuan was a Gu Tamer, he gave her a feeling of being more comfortable and safer than this woman.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Chen was finally pushed to the front hall by Chuyi.

Before Gu Chen entered the front hall, he saw the woman sitting in the front hall, carefully observing the tea in her hand.

He frowned slightly, feeling that the woman looked familiar.

She looked very much like someone in his memory, but he knew that his mother could not be resurrected.

And in his memory, his mother was gloomy all day long and never looked happy.

How could she be similar to the mysterious woman in front of him?

Although...the mother was still gentle to the two brothers.

But that tenderness is always mixed with a lot of sadness.

Gu Chen stiffened his neck and looked at the masked woman in front of him with an inquiring look.

"Madam...what's the matter?"

For some reason, Gu Chen had an intuition that this woman... really looked like his mother in his childhood memory.

The woman opposite heard Gu Chen's question and turned her head to look over.

But he seemed to have seen something unbelievable and stood there in a daze for a moment.

The eldest princess took in the confused looks of the two people opposite her.

She waved her hand and asked her attendants to leave.

The woman in black took a serious look at the human skin mask on Gu Chen's face.

Then he took two quick steps forward and opened it.

Revealing Gu Chen's original appearance.

The black-clad woman moved so quickly that neither Gu Chen nor Chu Yi beside him had time to react.

His true face was exposed in an instant.

"Chen'er?"

Gu Chen was also surprised. The moment the woman opened her mouth, he blurted out, "Mother?"

Pei Chun also opened his mouth in surprise.

His mind was filled with mixed thoughts. Didn’t Gu Yuan say that his mother died when he was young?

Before Pei Chun could figure it out, he heard the woman in black ask Gu Chen in a trembling voice, "What's wrong with my son's legs?

Why are you here, where is Yuan'er?"

Her series of questions caught Gu Chen off guard. He was already having difficulty speaking due to the poison.

Now I am trying hard and anxiously, but I can't even open my mouth to speak.

The princess heaved a sigh of relief and spoke as if she had expected it: "It's getting late, it's time for breakfast, let's sit down and talk slowly."

Gu Chen nodded with tears in his eyes.

Pei Chun was already dumbfounded at this moment.

She really wanted to take out Xiaobai and ask Gu Yuan what was going on.

the other side.

Pei Qing, who had just finished court, was now counting the year-end accounts in the Ministry of Revenue.

As the year draws to a close, the Ministry of Revenue becomes increasingly busy.

The Minister of Revenue even fell ill due to the heavy workload.

Therefore, all the account books of the Ministry of Revenue had to be managed by him, the second-in-command.

Since Pei Qing was in charge of all the tasks of the Ministry of Revenue, he naturally put in a lot of effort and tried his best to process all the account books that had been accumulated over the years.

But it was this treatment that made him discover something wrong.

Just before the Minister of Revenue fell ill, the silver that had been handled was different from the silver recorded in the account books.

The shortfall was exactly 700,000 taels of silver.

This account was handled by the Minister of Revenue several years ago.

Pei Qing couldn't believe such a big omission. He frowned and checked the account book again and again.

But the contents of the account book are still wrong.

how so!

The Minister of Revenue is a very cautious and honest person on weekdays. No matter what, it is impossible for him to make such a big mistake!

The Minister of Revenue was his immediate superior and could be considered as his half-mentor.

He was extremely strict in his daily work style and would not accept any money given by minor officials.

He was extremely frugal and would wear the same official robe for five or six years.

Pei Qing didn't want to see such a big mistake, so he immediately took the account book and went to the Minister of Revenue's Mansion.
