Gu Huaisheng smiled, poured himself a glass of water, and just picked it up to drink when Gu Huaizhun stopped him.

"Don't drink that, it's already cold, it's not good for your health, ask someone to change the pot of hot tea." Gu Huaizun gave Gu Huaisheng a sideways look: "It's still like this no matter how old you are."

"Hey, it's okay if the weather is cooler." Having said that, Gu Huaisheng put down the cup anyway: "Forget it, we won't bother people at night." After a pause, he said again: "The matter of the court, I have my own sense of propriety, big brother don’t need to worry, but you, you should be more careful, after all, it’s easy to avoid a sharp spear, but hard to guard against a dark arrow.”

"You should worry about yourself." Gu Huaisheng took two bites and put down his chopsticks: "I don't even look at your current virtues. Since you woke up from your injury, you have been sick or poisoned every day. You are weaker than Sister Lin. Up and down, is there still a little bit of what I, Gu Jiaerlang, should look like?"

Gu Huaisheng leaned back in the chair, his eyebrows and eyes were raised, showing a lazy and coquettish: "That's why I was in a hurry to clean up the house, kicked myself out, and rushed to become Princess Xie. Our Gu family has a big brother as a role model." That's enough, my third brother and I are responsible for being as beautiful as a flower!"

Gu Huaizhun... Gu Huaizhun grabbed a roll of bamboo slips and threw it at Gu Huaisheng: "Get lost! How dare you say such things?"

"Yes!" Gu Huaisheng dodged it with a playful smile, so that the hanging bamboo slips flew over his shoulders and fell to the ground with a slap: "Without a handsome and beautiful face, how can you hook up with my prince, right?"

Another roll of bamboo slips flew over, Gu Huaisheng jumped up and ran, staggering or numbly rolling out of the study.

"Stinky boy!" Gu Huaizhun got up to pick up the bamboo slips. After a while, he lost his temper, couldn't help laughing and cursing, shook his head, sighed, sat down and continued to eat noodles.

However, as soon as he took two bites, Gu Huaisheng poked his head in halfway through the door.

"Brother, the noodles are so delicious?" Gu Huaisheng poked at the door and winked: "Eat private food alone, and don't ask my brother if he's hungry. Isn't it just a bowl of noodles, as for such a treasure?"

Gu Huaizhun's hand holding the chopsticks tightened tightly, but his face was tense and serious: "Are you going to go or not?"

"Get out!" Gu Huaisheng had achieved his goal, shrank his head tactfully, and closed the door like a dog: "Get out now! Brother, drink up the noodle soup and go to bed early, don't stay up too late!"

The roots of the ears were finally clean, but after being made a fuss by Gu Huaisheng, Gu Huaizun felt a little... unable to look directly at the noodles in the bowl, sighed, and had no choice but to push them away.

"Stinky boy!" Gu Huaizhun cursed again, and simply got up and left the study. He has been here until now, and he was originally waiting for Gu Huaisheng. Since he has returned and seems to have recovered a lot, there is nothing to worry about. up.

……

I don't know if it's because of the detoxification, or because I slept too much these days, Gu Huaisheng lay down on the bed again, and actually suffered from insomnia, tossing and turning without feeling sleepy.

"Tsk!" Gu Huaisheng was so irritable that he lay uncomfortable, so he turned over and sat up, and was about to pour a glass of water to moisten his throat, when a dart smashed through the window and nailed it two fingers away from his ear with a bang. on the far bedpost.

Gu Huaisheng's eyes froze, he pulled out the dart and rushed to open the window, except for the rustling of leaves, he didn't even see a ghost.

"It's pretty fast." Gu Huaisheng snorted, closed the window, turned around, went to the table and sat down with the lamp on, and then took off the cloth strips that were tied to the dart and unfolded it.

After seeing it, Gu Huaisheng smiled, and casually moved the strip of cloth over the candle, burning it in a blink of an eye.

Going to the bookshelf, he picked up a book and returned to the bed. Gu Huaisheng didn't lie down, but just sat on the bedside and read a book to pass the time.Seeing that the outer seal is a serious book on the art of war, when he opened it, he was almost blinded by the Jin Ping Mei inside, but he has always been thick-skinned, and he read it with gusto.

Gu Huaisheng didn't know when he fell asleep, it was already morning when he woke up.The book in his hand has been taken away, obviously someone has come in.

"Guo Keer?" Gu Huaisheng got off the bed and shouted while putting on clothes, "Guo Keer!"

I'm coming! "Accompanied by the sound of opening the door, Guo Ke'er carried a water basin and led two maidservants trot into the house: "The young master just fell asleep while sitting yesterday, and I don't know how to put a quilt on him, did he catch a cold? "

"In this weather, if you don't use a fan, your body is already cold, and you still cover yourself with a quilt. You bastard, do you want to heat me to death, your young master?" Gu Huaisheng rolled up his sleeves: "Go out after putting down the things, and leave the fruit shells to serve you." That's it."

Gu Huaisheng has always disliked serving maids, and there are always fruit shells around. In the past, everyone prepared the washing things in advance, but today they are a little late, and they are not happy to be bumped into by the master, but no one dares to delay After getting the order, Ma Liu put down his things and bowed and retreated.

When only he and Guo Ke'er were left in the room, Gu Huaisheng's slightly frowning brows relaxed, allowing Guo Ke'er to take care of her grooming.

"Brother, are they gone?" Gu Huaisheng asked Guo Ke'er while combing her hair.

Guo Ke'er nodded: "Leaving early in the morning." After a pause, he asked: "Master, it's all over now, do you still want to go to the yamen?"

"Go ahead. I haven't been there for so long. Even if I'm an idle official, it's not good if I don't show my face for a long time." Gu Huaisheng straightened his neckline: "It doesn't matter if it's sooner or later. Anyway, I don't want to make progress. Little officials who fish in troubled waters don't pay much attention."

Guo Ke'er, who knew the rank of the servant, said that she was so tired that she didn't want to talk, since the young master was happy anyway.

"The young master should eat before eating, or eat in the carriage?" Guo Ke'er said: "Uncle Yuan is still waiting for the young master to wake up and deliver the meal. If the meal is eaten in the carriage, then the servant will send someone to pass the message." go."

"Get in the carriage." Gu Huaisheng pursed his lips and blew his eyebrows indiscriminately, his laziness did not seem to be much more energetic than before detoxification: "Prepare to be lighter."

"Understood." Guo Ke'er put down the comb: "Then young master, wait a moment, the servant will return as soon as he goes."

Gu Huaisheng hummed, and picked up the comb to tidy up.However, before the hair could be tied, the comb was taken away by the man himself.

"Why are you here?" Gu Huaisheng was taken aback, looked up to see Zhao Yue in the bronze mirror, and smiled.

Zhao Yue skillfully helped Gu Huaisheng to tidy up his hair: "It's nothing, so I just came to take a look. I didn't see you when I went to the official department, so I guessed that you were at home, so I came here."

"Just to see me?" Gu Huaisheng smiled deeper.

"En." Zhao Yue paused slightly: "How's your body? It seems that your spirit is still not very good, are you still tired?"

"No lack." Gu Huaisheng leaned back lazily, fell into Zhao Yue's arms, and hit Zhao Yue's heart with the back of his head: "I have no problem with my body, but I couldn't sleep last night, I suffered from it."

"That's not the case, your body needs to take a good rest." Zhao Yue didn't push Gu Huaisheng away, but hugged him: "Your body was already severely deficient, but this poisoning will make things worse."

"I know it in my heart." Gu Huaisheng said with a smile: "Even for the sake of being with the prince for a long time, I will spare my life, unless..."

"Unless what?" Zhao Yue had an intuition that there would be no good words in the future.

"Unless..." What flashed through Gu Huaisheng's mind was a cold sword: "Unless the prince achieves dominance and can't tolerate me anymore, if that day really comes, I hope the prince can remember the old love and reward the whole body." .”

Hearing this, Zhao Yue's face suddenly turned cold: "Gu Huaisheng, in your eyes, am I just so heartless?"

"Hey!" Gu Huaisheng got pinched on his shoulder, hurriedly got out of Zhao Yue's arms, and sat up straight: "I'll just say it casually, why are you getting angry? Besides, in the future, who..." Zhao Yue's face became more and more complex Ugly, quickly stopped Shun Mao: "Okay, okay, I won't say it, will it be done if I don't say it? But my lord, are you really just here to see?"

"It's about water transportation." In a fit of anger, Zhao Yue lost his greasy vigor, put down the comb, and then turned to business: "It's taken down."

"Oh?" When Gu Huaisheng heard it, he was immediately refreshed. He stood up and turned around, looking at Zhao Yue: "Have you taken it?"

Zhao Yue nodded: "Not only water transportation, but also an unexpected delivery."

"What?" Gu Huaisheng raised an eyebrow.

"Salt Transportation Department." Mentioning this, Zhao Yue's mood became better again, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I also took it down together. In this game, we can kill two birds with one stone." Zhao Yue turned around with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked, "Duan Yuqing Thoroughly investigating the fraud case of the Xiao family, the original clues were only a few closely related side branches of the Xiao family, but they didn't want to but followed the clues and dragged out Xiao Yuyan."

"Xiao Tingye's six sons?" Gu Huaisheng thought for a while before he remembered who this person was. The main reason was that in his memory, apart from being born as a servant girl, this person was also mediocre and had nothing to do. He was rarely seen in the aristocratic circle of the capital. Someone mentioned that he was a person who had no sense of existence. How could such a person be involved in the fraud case?

Zhao Yue knew what Gu Huaisheng was surprised about, he nodded, and continued: "This Xiao Yuyan has some personal relations with the owner of Yong'an Hall. Although the Li family has a low position in Xinglin, they have always had the heart to become an official. However, the children and grandchildren are not up to date. It has been hard to get what you want, and you have been obsessed with it for many years. It is rare to get a little promising, but you can't be high or low. I really don't want to be reconciled, so I started thinking about it, so I bribed Xiao Yuyan. Although this Xiao Yuyan is in the family No status, but after all, working in the Salt Transportation Department, there are still some connections."

Gu Huaisheng nodded: "Xiao Tingye doesn't know about this?"

"Of course I don't know." Zhao Yue said: "If it wasn't for that, the old guy would have been cleaned up long ago, how could he keep it for Duan Yuqing to investigate? What's interesting is that Xiao Yuyan is not an outsider, but also a member of the Xiao family. Guess who?"

Gu Huaisheng thought about the Xiao family's offshoots and disciples in the six parts, but couldn't figure it out, so he raised his shoulders.

"Your enemy, Xiao Chuanyong." Zhao Yue looked at Gu Huaisheng's surprised reaction with satisfaction, and continued: "This time, it can be said that the mud was pulled out from the radish. The Xiao family capsized, and several people were thrown off, but this Xiao Yuyan is worthy of being Xiao Tingye's son is rigorous and tight-lipped, if we hadn't deliberately guided Duan Yuqing to investigate, this matter would have ended peacefully."

"Really..." Gu Huaisheng was stunned for a while before shaking his head and laughing: "Unexpected!"

Zhao Yue didn't know, but Gu Huaisheng knew. In his previous life, this fraud case had nothing to do with Xiao Yuyan. Then Xiao Chuanyong was too annoying later on. He was designed to lure him to a brothel and live a life of death. Unexpectedly, in this life, he was just A change in one thought can turn the trajectory of destiny upside down.

Seeing that Gu Huaisheng was in a daze, Zhao Yue poked Gu Huaisheng on the forehead to bring him back to his senses: "This incident made the emperor furious. Although Xiao Tingye didn't even let Xiao Tingye down, it also dealt a big blow to the Xiao family, and the Xue family took advantage of the fire to rob the salt Yunsi, together with the foreshadowing we laid before, all pointed the finger at the Xue family, and the Xiao family had suffered such a big hidden loss, so naturally they refused to let it go, so they got into a fight with the Xue family."

"So the Xiao family focused on Xue Tan, who is in charge of the water transport?" After all, they set up the situation themselves, so without Zhao Yue saying more, Gu Huaisheng immediately thought of the key point.

"That's right." Zhao Yue sat down on a chair beside him: "The Xiao family not only got the evidence of the Xue family's corruption of ink in water transportation, but also got a letter in which the Xue family and the fifth prince colluded with foreign enemies and cooperated with Miao Jiang. , and the death of Princess Miaojiang was also the work of the Xue family."

It was expected before, but colluding with Miao Jiang...

Gu Huaisheng narrowed his eyes and revealed a meaningful smile: "This letter..."

Zhao Yue stared back with deep eyes. Needless to say, the eyes met, and the two immediately showed a tacit smile.
