Xijing Chronicle

Chapter 9: The Imperial Palace (1)

The moonlight was like water, Ye Jiaer helped Gu Huaisheng change the medicine for the wound on his back, got up and left the bed, Gu Huaisheng put on his clothes, tried to move his shoulders, Ye Jiaer said: "Don't worry, my lord, your injury is almost healed."

Gu Huaisheng nodded indifferently, and asked, "Is everyone alright?"

On the night of the birthday banquet, he asked Wen Jingzhou to borrow six people in total. Although everything went well at the time, the city was heavily guarded in the past few days. That's why I asked this question.

"Except for Xiaoqi and Brother Chen who were injured a little bit, everyone is safe and sound," Ye Jiaer guessed what Gu Huaisheng meant, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, although the young master looks helpless here, But after all, with the backing of the entire Pingguo, the whole thief really didn't dare to do anything. Besides, the young master has always shown his weakness to others, even the whole thief probably wouldn't think of this matter on the young master. The mansion just took a quick glance and left, even Young Master Jin who was hiding in the backyard was not found."

"That's good," Gu Huaisheng asked following her words, "How is he?"

"That night, Xiao Qi knocked him unconscious and took him back as you ordered. He woke up the next day, but the young master didn't allow anyone to see him. The meals were all delivered by Xiao Qi outside the door, and no one came. Seeing him, he never voluntarily stepped out of the yard, he was very quiet all day long, and he never even went out of the house."

"Zichu did the right thing." Gu Huaisheng sighed softly. Jin Xuenian has been imprisoned, beaten and scolded for so many years. He has been humiliated and humiliated. He has never been treated as a human being. He said that he was out of such an environment unexpectedly, and it might be difficult to adapt, so it would be better to let him have less contact with outsiders first.

He never stepped out of the yard, that's because he didn't care where he was, anyway, for him, the worst thing was to continue his previous life, he treated everything indifferently, including his own life.

After thinking about it, Gu Huaisheng added: "If he asks about his sister, don't tell him that Jin Shuangshuang has been rescued." It's always good to have something to worry about.

Ye Jiaer was taken aback for a moment, and then understood: "Yes." This Mr. Gu was always indifferent, but he didn't want to be such a delicate and gentle person.

What should be explained has almost been explained, and Ye Jiaer mentioned the main purpose of coming this time: "My young master ordered me to ask, have you ever obtained the imperial decree?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Gu Huaisheng's eyes darkened, and his expression was a little gloomy: He sneaked into the secret room that day, but he didn't expect that there were two forked roads in the secret room. He only had time to break through one, but found nothing. The agency was trapped and had to blow up the ground and escape. Now thinking about it, it was his bad luck, and the imperial decree should be in another fork in the road.

However, there was too much commotion that night, and the snake was already startled. Presumably, Quan Chengen must have found another place to store the imperial decree. The opportunity is fleeting, and it will not work if he tries to repeat the old trick. This failure is all his own fault... …

Ye Jia'er has been in the brothel for seven years, and she has already practiced the ability to observe words and deeds. Seeing Gu Huaisheng like this, she still doesn't understand, so she pursed her lips and smiled, and said: "Young master said, if you fail to get the imperial edict, you will leave the young master." farther away."

Gu Huaisheng raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing?"

Ye Jia'er said solemnly: "He said that in case the young master is in a bad mood, he will vent his anger on me."

Gu Huaisheng couldn't laugh or cry immediately: "It seems that he still remembers the incident when I accidentally hit him 14 years ago."

What Gu Huaisheng was talking about was that the first emperor died suddenly 14 years ago, and soon after that, it was reported that the Jin family was raided. At that time, Gu Huaisheng had just been rescued by Princess Pinghuai, and wanted to rush back to Daliang, but Wen Jing who heard the news Zhou stopped him, the young man's mind was not that complicated, anger was anger, hatred was hatred, it was as if his whole heart was torn apart and reorganized.Gu Huaisheng was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he grabbed Wen Jingzhou, who was so innocent, and punched him a few times. Fortunately, Princess Pinghuai arrived in time, so Wen Jingzhou was saved from an innocent disaster.

But even so, Wen Jingzhou's nose has been bleeding for a long time, and now he always feels that his nose is a little crooked, and he never forgets about it, and every time he catches the opportunity, he will taunt Gu Huaisheng sourly a few times.

However, because of this interruption, the negative emotions in Gu Huaisheng's heart did dissipate a lot. He reached out and took a piece of lychee paste from the plate in front of him, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed and swallowed it slowly, and the sweet and greasy taste spread on the tip of his tongue. It opened, and finally seemed to merge into a warm current, slowly flowing through the limbs and bones.

The moonlight shone into the room through the window, like a thin layer of frost. Gu Huaisheng was sitting under the moonlight like this, with his long hair scattered behind him like a waterfall, and his clothes casually draped over his body. Uninhibited taste.

Looking at his brows are quiet, it seems that he has a chance to win.

Ye Jiaer suddenly had a realization in her heart, no wonder the two masters trusted this Mr. Gu so much, it turned out that this is Mr. Gu... He just sat there, did nothing, but stood firm like Yuan Tingyue, standing still. Don't move, that powerful self-confidence can infect others.He will fail, but he will not be defeated. He has a legacy, but he will make careful arrangements for all omissions—until he wins in the end.

Gu Huaisheng finally spoke.

"After you go back, tell Zichu to spread the news about the theft of the whole house. The wider the spread, the better." He slightly hooked the corners of his lips, and in an instant, it seemed as if the dark clouds had suddenly dispersed and the ice had broken. The face became vivid for no reason.

"...Let's say that the entire mansion has lost a treasure. Eunuch Quan has been so eager to shut down the city and search for people these days, just to find it as soon as possible." After returning to Shizi Mansion, Ye Jiaer naturally reported the truth.

Wen Jingzhou was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

In the whole world, there is nothing in the king's land, and there is nothing in Xijing that escapes the ears of Emperor He Ze. Gu Huaisheng asked this matter to be spread, mainly to reach his ears.Over the years, Quan Chengen relied on his "sacred favor" to do evil and do everything, even He Ze was ignored, but he didn't know how He Ze would treat his "favorite" after hearing the news. minister".

It doesn't matter if they failed to obtain the imperial decree. What they lack now is not only this imperial decree, but also an opportunity to break the calm situation caused by the stalemate between the various forces in Xijing. Once the water is muddied, it will not be so easy to get out And out.

When the chessboard is in chaos, those who are in the middle of the game will easily lose sight of the situation. At that time, the person holding the pieces will be outside the chessboard, so why worry about not disturbing the situation.

In this world, it's time to turn around.

On the third day after the birthday banquet, the Shizi Mansion sent people to pick up Gu Huaisheng and Xue Zinu. Quan Chengen was so busy during this period that he let them go without any hindrance. Before they left, they went to find Quan Chengen Saying goodbye, but was stopped outside the yard, and sent out of the mansion by the butler just like when he came.

"I've been bothering you for many days, and I can't say goodbye to the middle officials in person. I feel really guilty."

"Master appreciates your kindness. It's just that the master is really busy and can't see you for the last time. I hope you will forgive me." The butler's attitude was much more polite than when he came, and he kept sending them to the carriage with a smile on his face. Flattery, "You two are so handsome, you are valued by your son, and your future is boundless. I am able to get along with you for such a period of time, and I am really impressed by your demeanor."

Xue Zinu's eyes widened, with a look of seeing a ghost on his face, Gu Huaisheng pulled him back, but he coughed twice, and then recovered his normal voice: "Your Excellency, you are welcome, the house is busy, and the two of you are not welcome." Excuse me, please take my leave.”

The housekeeper chuckled twice, said "That's fine", and watched their carriage leave before returning to the mansion.

"What's the matter with the butler, why do I feel that he is..." Xue Zinu was confused, "Is he flattering us?"

Gu Huaisheng's eyes flickered slightly, but his eyes were somewhat clear: "The tree fell and the monkeys scattered."

Ants and mice are the first to respond to natural disasters. The country will change and the building will collapse. Sometimes it is this kind of inconspicuous little people. A lot of information was revealed.

It seems that there has been movement on the emperor's side, and not only that, he suddenly said such flattering words... Both he and Zi Nu are under the family of the son, and the son is trapped in the beam, so how can he say "the future is boundless"?Could it be that Pingguo also did something...

Gu Huaisheng was thoughtful.

"Brother Gu, do you mean that the whole house is going to collapse?" Xue Zinu said incredulously, "How could it be?"

"Prosperity is bound to decline, as long as it is a power attached to other things, no matter how strong it is, it will fall one day." Gu Huaisheng touched Xue Zinu's head, "Zinu, you have to remember that nothing in this world is eternal Yes, only relying on oneself is the most powerful existence."

The carriage soon stopped at the Prince's Mansion. Gu Huaisheng got out of the car with Yuxiao in his arms. The butler, Bo Tan, greeted him with a smile on his face, but his words seemed to point out: "Young Master Gu, you are back, but you can't see your Highness?" Yes, His Highness has recently fallen in love with Ye Jiaer, a famous prostitute from Qinxiang Tower, and he rested in Qinxiang Tower last night, and hasn't come back yet."

Before Gu Huaisheng could speak, Xue Zinu laughed first: "I've seen that Ye Jia'er too, she is indeed extremely charming and lively, but I don't want His Highness to be fascinated by her."

Gu Huaisheng was one step behind Xue Zinu, nodded to the butler, and said with a faint smile: "In this case, I will go back to the courtyard first, and when His Highness comes back, Uncle Lao Qin will inform me that he borrowed his only copy last time, and he I'm afraid I'm in a hurry, and when he comes back, I'll go and return it to Zhao."

The housekeeper responded with a smile: "Young master, don't worry."

They have a separate courtyard in the Shizi Mansion. The place where Gu Huaisheng lives is called Fengxingyuan. It is said that this courtyard was originally called "Fengting", but he changed it himself later, and the words on the plaque were also mentioned by himself. Every stroke of the painting hides the strength of character, the brushstrokes are restrained, and the dark energy is hidden but not expressed.

In addition to a wing facing south, there are two east and west wings in the courtyard. Later, the east wing was converted into a study by him, but the west wing was always empty. He pushed open the courtyard door and was walking into his room, but he didn't want to The door of the west wing was pushed open with a "squeak".

He froze in place, looking at Jin Xuenian who was also at a loss, speechless for a while.
