III Jiangshan

Guo Yi was the deputy chief of the Luanting Division. Every time the emperor went out of the palace in micro-clothes, he would bring the Luanting Division and the elite internal guards in disguise to protect the emperor's safety.

After the emperor returned to the palace at noon, Guo Yi also went back and changed into his official uniform.After sorting out the important matters at hand, he entered the palace to meet him, and happened to see the emperor sitting on the wooden threshold of the inner study from a distance.

Guo Yi knew that the emperor didn't like to stick to common etiquette, so he didn't feel very surprised by this situation, so he went forward to greet him as usual.

"Guo Aiqing, are you here?" Yuan Youqi glanced at Guo Yi's meticulous salute, and said with a faint smile.

"Yes! Your Majesty!" Guo Yi replied loudly.

"Come in and talk!" Yuan Youqi stood up, turned around and went back to the study.

Guo Yi hurriedly responded and followed.

Tang Xizhu was at the end, closing the door of the palace with a wink.

"Let's talk!" Yuan Youqi sat down behind the desk, looking at Guo Yi who was standing below.

Guo Yi did not hesitate, and replied: "As expected, someone has noticed your majesty's travels in the past two days..."

"Who?" Yuan Youqi asked.

"An Guogong's son, Gu Zhongwen."

"An Guogong..." Yuan Youqi's lips curved into a meaningful smile.

After she ascended the throne, she felt deeply for her biological mother, Gu Jingyan, and named Gu Shuyan the Duke of An, hereditary.

At that time, in the eyes of everyone, Gu Shuyan was just a servant who had just been promoted. Apart from presenting his daughter Gu Heng to the palace as a concubine to Emperor Zhuangzong, he had no qualifications and no contribution to the country. , His behavior of "selling women for glory" was despised by many civil officials.

Such a person was actually made a duke by the new emperor. Almost everyone believed that the new emperor was named the Gu family because of the passing away Concubine Gu Zhao.But no one knew that Gu Shuyan was actually the new emperor's uncle.

Now more than ten years have passed, Gu Shuyan used his official voice and deeds to prove to everyone that he is not an incompetent person who is proud of his daughter.

He has successively served as the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of Household Affairs. Now, as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he manages people's livelihood for the Great Wei Dynasty.Now the common people in the Great Wei Dynasty are well-fed and well-fed. Although there have been several small disasters, the Ministry of Households dispatched the bank in time, and the Ministry of Industry dispatched manpower to fight the disaster and repair it in time, so that the loss of the affected people was minimized, and the follow-up life was also guaranteed. Gu Shuyan’s contribution must.

Because of these merits, and in the past ten years or so, a group of old officials have been retired, and most of the remaining officials in the court are pragmatic young and middle-aged officials. Therefore, for Gu Shuyan, there is only praise inside and outside the court, and there is no derogation.

After listening to Guo Yi's report, Yuan Youqi recalled the strange gaze she felt when she deliberately treated Mochi in full view today in Liyin's attic.

Yuan Youqi has practiced martial arts since she was a child, and she has never failed in archery, horseback riding or archery. Therefore, she is very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment.

At that time, everyone was paying attention to the fact that he was belittling Mochi, and even had a fondness for Mochi. There were only two gazes that were different from everyone else.

One is the gaze from Gu Zhongwen, and the other is the unknown mysterious person hiding in the dark on the second floor.

Yuan Youqi guessed that the mysterious person might be the mastermind behind the scenes.

"I know." Yuan Youqi said lightly.

Whether it is Gu Zhongwen or that mysterious person, why they are there and what they are planning, she has her own plans, which is not what Guo Yi should know.

Guo Yi is a smart person, seeing this, he already understood the meaning of the emperor not continuing this topic.

So he changed the subject and said again: "About Xianfu Palace, it is indeed the residence of Tan Cairen. Tan Cairen's brother is a fifth-rank foreign official in Ganzhou..."

"Ganzhou..." Yuan Youqi sneered.

Didn't Yi'er just come back from Ganzhou?

"And what else?" she asked again.

"Yes," Guo Yi replied, "It is said that Tan Cairen grew up in Ganzhou since he was a child, and he doesn't seem to have any plans..."

"It seems?" Yuan Youqi scoffed.

Those who can say those words tremblingly are either deliberately pretending to be fake, or they have expert advice behind them.

"Was there anyone else in the plum grove that night?" Yuan Youqi asked again.

"The minister has already checked it carefully, and it seems that no one else has seen it. However, according to the servant who takes care of Meilin, most people don't know that there is actually a very narrow path among the intertwined branches of plums. ..."

"Where does that path lead to?" Yuan Youqi asked urgently, she seemed to have grasped the key to the matter.

"It is said that it is the direction leading to Yuxiu Palace. But the time is short, and I am afraid that I will startle the snake, so I did not find the opportunity to investigate on the spot." Guo Yi replied.

Sure enough, there is a way!Yuan Youqi thought secretly.

"Who lives in Yuxiu Palace?" She turned to Tang Xi and asked.

Tang Xi thought for a while, then replied: "Return to Your Majesty, if this servant remembers well, the people living in Yuxiu Palace are Wumei."

Samurai...

Yuan Youqi remembered this woman, because this woman was so...beautiful.

Guo Yi knew very well what the emperor thought and how to make the next arrangements, that was not his business.

"And Mr. Tang, she did go to Jingning Palace yesterday, and she also brought a long box with her. I don't know what is in it."

After Guo Yi said that, he couldn't help adding another sentence: "According to my investigation, Mr. Tang went to Jingning Palace alone, and he didn't bring anyone with him."

Yuan Youqi said "oh".

Seeing that the emperor was interested in listening, Guo Yi hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Your Majesty has learned! Lord Tang is a loyal minister!"

"How?" Yuan Youqi looked at him.

"Your Majesty Tang has been a minister for many years, and I dare to risk my life to protect His Majesty's loyalty! She must have hidden secrets when she goes to Jingning Palace late at night. Your Majesty, please be aware!" Guo Yi said sincerely.

"Furthermore...and Mr. Tang is a woman, she will never treat the concubine...Your Majesty, please be careful! Restore Mr. Tang's innocence!" Guo Yi hesitated for a moment, and finally said.

Yuan Youqi laughed when he heard this.

Tang Yi is a woman, wouldn't she feel that way about Fengrou who is also a woman?

She looked at the serious Guo Yi, the more she looked at it, the more amusing she became.

Mr. Guo, Guo Aiqing, you are really... one-sided!

Guo Yi was taken aback by the emperor, not knowing which sentence she said was wrong.

"Guo Aiqing," Yuan Youqi said with a smile, "I know what you mean. With me, I will neither wrong a good person nor condone a bad person."

After all, Yuan Youqi said solemnly: "Guo Aiqing also understands my rules, right?"

Guo Yi froze, clasped her fists and said, "I'll spare you!"

Respecting Tang Yi is one aspect, but as a subject of His Majesty, one should serve the emperor's affairs and obey the emperor's orders, Guo Yi understands it very well.

Guo Yi withdrew.

"Did you send the pair of red coral earrings yesterday to Xianfu Palace?" Yuan Youqi asked Tang Xi.

"The maidservant just sent it away!" Tang Xi replied.

"What did Tan Cairen say?"

When Tang Xi heard the emperor's question, he couldn't help but hesitated, and then he apologized and said with a smile: "I have never seen Tan Cairen. I heard from the girl who served Tan Cairen in Xianfu Palace that Tan Cairen is taking a bath."

"Really?" Yuan Youqi replied seemingly unintentionally.

He said again: "Tonight, let's drive to Xianfu Palace!"

Tang Xi was stunned in shock.

Apart from Jingning Palace, why did His Majesty spend the night with other nobles?

This... This is the sun coming out from the west!

Yuan Youqi glanced at Tang Xi's face that was so surprised that he forgot to answer, and sneered, "What? I have made them concubines, so I can't spend the night with them?"

Tang Xi smiled and said: "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so naturally he can spend the night wherever he wants!"

Seeing a smile on Yuan Youqi's face, Tang Xi flattered him and said, "Then the servant will inform Xianfu Palace that he is ready to pick him up, or... His Majesty wants to surprise Tan Cairen?"

Yuan Youqi opened her mouth, and before she could say "I'll go again when the time comes", she swallowed it back.

"Let's inform Xianfu Palace! Let Tan Cairen be prepared." Yuan Youqi finally said.

After all, she smiled sullenly, but there was no smile at all.

Tang Xi hurriedly agreed, and went to Xianfu Palace to preach the decree.

But he didn't know that Yuan Youqi had other deep meanings.

Not long after, the little internal supervisor came to report, and An Guogong asked to see him.

Sure enough!

Yuan Youqi hurriedly ordered to come in.

Gu Shuyan is now over half a hundred years old, and he still salutes the emperor with the same courtesy as usual. Yuan Youqi helped him up, personally supported him, and asked him to sit on the chair next to him.

"It's getting late, and the chill is coming up, you should add more clothes to go out!" Yuan Youqi said.

For Gu Shuyan, she has closeness in her heart. Although she can't call him "uncle" blatantly, she always uses the name of respect and is not lacking in courtesy.

"Your Majesty is concerned! Your body is fairly strong." Gu Shuyan replied.

Back then, after Yuan Youqi ascended the throne, he confessed to him that he already knew that Gu Jingyan was the biological mother.Therefore, Gu Shuyan was not surprised by Yuan Youqi's respectful and close attitude towards him.

The emperor has been like this for more than ten years, and Gu Shuyan gradually changed from being flattered to getting used to it.

Yuan Youqi chatted a few gossips about the climate and seasons, and then said with a smile: "You come to the palace at this hour, you think you have something important to do?"

"Your Majesty expected it well," Gu Shuyan nodded.

"Please speak."

Gu Shuyan raised his eyes to Shangyuan Youqi's amber pupils, and said, "I dare to ask, did your Majesty leave the palace in low clothes today?"

Yuan Youqi smiled and said without any surprise: "Have you seen me?"

"It's not the old minister, it's the minister Zhongwen!"

Gu Shuyan said, with a worried look on his face, "Your Majesty's white dragon fish suit, and observing the sufferings of the people, is nothing at all. Thinking about His Majesty going out of the palace, the guard measures must be appropriate. But... I feel that Liyin Pavilion's Such a place is really not suitable for His Majesty to visit in person!"

"My lord, do you mean that the promiscuous sounds in the Liyin Pavilion, or all kinds of sex and intimacy, are not suitable for my eyes to see?" Yuan Youqi asked with great interest.

Gu Shuyan frowned, shook his head and said, "That's not what the old minister meant. It's just... that Liyin Pavilion... hides a murderous plan!"

Yuan Youqi frowned.

"What do you mean, my lord? Could it be that someone in the Liyin Pavilion intends to rebel?" Yuan Youqi said.

Rebellion...it's almost there!

Gu Shuyan sighed, and said: "The old minister has long noticed that there is something wrong in the Liyin Pavilion, but it is hidden very deeply, and the things involved are quite unusual. Fearing that it would startle the snake, the old minister ordered Zhong Wen to investigate in the Liyin Pavilion Movement and movement, trying to find some clues. Zhongwen is not an official, so he will not arouse the idea of ​​​​that person."

"So, what did Zhongwen find out?" Yuan Youqi asked.

Gu Shuyan hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Zhongwen did gain something, that is...to borrow your Majesty's teacup."

"My lord, it doesn't matter if you use it." Yuan Youqi said, pushing the teacup in front of him towards Gu Shuyan.

Then, she saw that Gu Shuyan's right index finger was stained with residual tea, and wrote a word on the desk——

Chun.
