"Many, thank you, ma'am." Gu Fang didn't dare to refuse any more, so he had to sit down and let Doctor Chen take a pulse.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the person on the bed, and Imperial Physician Chen didn't have much scruples. He glanced at Gu Fang while sounding his pulse, a little sarcastic.

Moreover, he really said: "Gu Shaoshi, how did you think about the suggestions given to you by the lower officials?"

"What suggestion?" Gu Fang's mind just got out of the fire just now, and he is not even sober at the moment.

"Study medicine, what I said last time, do you think you have been injured again?" Doctor Chen said.

"Why do I listen, you are quite happy that I was injured?" Gu Fang was a little speechless, what kind of benevolence should a doctor have?

"Really don't learn?"

"Don't study." Gu Fang was categorical, just like what Jun Ruohan said, people who study medicine are creating Buddhas, and he studies medicine to commit crimes, so he will not do it.

Gu Fang looked like he was seriously injured on the surface, but in fact, apart from his throat being smoked and a piece of flesh on his hand being scratched, there was no major problem.

Glancing at the person on the bed who still had his eyes closed, he left Weiyang Palace with a group of imperial physicians after his injuries were almost healed.

Back at the General’s Mansion, Gu Fang lay on the bed for more than half an hour before getting up to take a shower and change his clothes. After he was done, he looked at his long black hair in the mirror which had turned into long and short straws. I could only take the scissors and pick up the scorched hair and click the scissors down.

It wasn't until dawn that Jun Ruohan slowly opened his eyes, sat up from the bed in a daze for a moment, and yelled: "Gu Fang~"

Shen Qiuyun waited on him all night with his clothes untied, and at this moment when he woke up and called that person's name, his heart inevitably felt astringent.

"Your majesty, you are awake." Shen Qiuyun stepped forward on the water and handed it to him.

Jun Ruohan glanced at her and asked, "How is Gu Fang doing? Where's Concubine Wen?"

"Young Envoy Gu suffered some flesh wounds. The imperial physician had treated them last night. Concubine Wen was still awake, but the imperial physician said that there is nothing serious and she will wake up at noon at the latest. The emperor does not need to worry." Shen Qiuyun said.

"That's good." Jun Ruohan was only able to take a sip of water to moisten his throat, "Thank you very much for this night."

Shen Qiuyun gritted his teeth, they were husband and wife, and he still wanted to thank him for such a trivial matter.

"Your Majesty, it's too bad, the body of Concubine Lan was found in the ice cellar." Lu Sheng's footsteps were flustered, and before he could bypass the curtain, he fell directly to the outside.

"Concubine Lan?" Jun Ruohan's voice was still a little hoarse, although he didn't match the woman's face, but he personally granted this title, if he remembered well, Concubine Lan was the daughter of Zhao Qi, the servant of the Ministry of War.

Gu Fang came to Zhang Jiansi with a bunch of long and short hair. Zhuang Zhou was working hard, but when he looked up and saw his new hairstyle, he couldn't help laughing.

"What's wrong with you? A mouse gnawed your hair while you were sleeping?" Zhuang Zhou laughed so hard that he almost couldn't straighten up.

"Can you be more serious?" Gu Fang knocked on his table dissatisfied, "This is like a scar on the general's body, it's merit, do you understand?"

Zhuang Zhou reluctantly suppressed the wild laughter, and honestly shook his head: "I don't understand, hahahaha..."

"There was a fire in Suian hall last night. I went in to put out the fire. It started." Gu Fang raised his hand wrapped in a white cloth as he spoke.

"Oh, you went too!" He only found out about the fire in Suian Hall this morning.

"Yeah, otherwise could it be done like this?" Gu Fang stroked his hair regretfully.

"But it's still very funny... Hahaha, your hair is enough for me to laugh all day long!" Zhuang Zhou clutched his stomach, almost rolling on the ground.

Before being ridiculed by Zhuang Zhou, the two of them fished during working hours, and Tang Long Tang, deputy director general, caught him straight.

"There are too few tasks for you, aren't they?"

As soon as the two heard this, they were about to flee in desperation, but they were stopped by Deputy Director Tang: "Where are we going? There is a dead person in the palace, follow me into the palace.

"Who's dead?" Zhuang Zhou asked before Gu Fang.

"Concubine Lan."

It turned out that after yesterday afternoon, Concubine Lan's personal maid never saw Concubine Lan again, she searched all night but failed to find anyone, just when she was about to report to the Emperor and Empress, Suian Hall caught fire, this delay lasted for another night.

The ice cellar was built under the cold palace, and the Suian Hall fire burned down half of the cold palace. The eunuch who managed the ice cellar this morning was worried, fearing that the ice storage would be melted by the fire, so he opened the door of the ice cellar to check, but he didn't want to find Concubine Lan inside Empress' body.

The corpse had been frozen overnight in the ice cellar, but a mark was still found on her neck.

"The murderer shā're:n is probably just a temporary idea, and from the modus operandi... it is full of loopholes." This is Tang Long's conclusion after inspecting the corpse and the ice cellar, "Concubine Lan should have been strangled to death first , and then dragged into the ice cellar."

Gu Fang knelt down and looked at Concubine Lan's shoes, frowned: "I think the murderer is probably a woman."

"Why?" Jun Ruohan asked.

"Here..." Gu Fang pointed to the heels of Lan Fei's shoes. There was a lot of dragged and accumulated mud, which was mixed with ice water and solidified together. She hides in the ice cellar, there is no need to drag her at all, and it is easy to leave clues."

"Your Majesty, there are several ministers who wish to bring them back to the Zhangjian Division for interrogation." Tang Long said.

One is Concubine Lan's personal maid, the other is the eunuch in charge of the ice cellar, and the second Miss Shen was the last to see Concubine Lan.

"Yes." Jun Ruohan said, "However, Second Miss Shen cannot be taken to the appraiser for interrogation. If you have anything to ask, just go to the palace and ask."

"Yes."

In Tang Long's view, this corpse hiding case full of loopholes was not complicated, and he was confident that the shā're:n murderer could be found within two days at the most.

Before the three of them left the palace gate, Eunuch Lu quickly chased after them.

"Young envoy Gu, please stop. The Emperor has something to ask about the fire in the Suian Hall last night. Please go with the servant." Lu Sheng bowed.

"Ask me?" Gu Fang was a little confused. Could it be that he still suspected that he set the fire?

"Yes."

Tang Long glanced at him: "We're leaving first, you can go at ease!"

"I..." Gu Fang looked at Tang Long and Zhuang Zhou who had gone far away, then looked back at Lu Sheng, and finally flicked his sleeves in frustration, "Let's go!"

Lu Sheng brought him to the door of the imperial study and left by himself.

Gu Fang raised his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Gu Fang pushed the door open and entered. Before he could reach Jun Ruohan, he hurriedly explained: "The fire in Suian hall has nothing to do with me. I followed you into the palace last night."

Jun Ruohan waved at him: "Don't be nervous, I'm not asking you about the fire."

"The little Eunuch Lu said..."

"Don't let him say that, could it be said that the emperor wanted to see Gu Shaoshi's injury?" Jun Ruohan grabbed his hand wrapped in white cloth through the case.

"Hey, be careful, there's skin growing inside!" Gu Fang was startled by his sudden movement, but his hand was still hurt, so he didn't dare to struggle hard.

"You can see the skin growing inside through the cloth?" Jun Ruohan turned his hand from side to side, almost tearing apart the white cloth to have a look.

"I can feel it." Gu Fang said, "It's really nothing, just a small injury."

"It's fine." Jun Ruohan finally let go of the person, and then pushed the porcelain cup on the table, "Drink this."

Gu Fang lifted the lid and took a look: "What is this?"

"Squab pigeon soup is good for recovering from burns," Jun Ruohan said.

Gu Fang looked at the soup and then at Jun Ruohan, and then raised his hand to show him: "I only burned such a small area, so I don't need to drink soup to mend it."

"Drink by yourself." Jun Ruohan didn't talk nonsense with him, just tapped the lid of the porcelain cup, "Or should I feed you?"

Gu reassured and snorted, is this trying to be a hooligan?

"Then you feed me." Comparing him to a hooligan, probably no one can compare him.

Jun Ruohan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect that he would really confront him, so he picked up the soup without hesitation: "Sit down."

Gu Fang glanced back furtively, after confirming that the door of the study was closed tightly, with a little eagerness to try, he really bypassed the imperial case and walked towards Jun Ruohan.

Is the chair Jun Ruohan made a chair?It was an oversized chair, the kind with a seat cushion underneath and a lumbar pillow behind the head.

Gu Fang licked his mouth: "Then I will sit down."

"No one is pulling you, sit down." Jun Ruohan said with a smile.

Gu Fang sat down next to Jun Ruohan, this feeling is quite strange, it's not the same as being dragged by him to sit on the dragon couch for the first time.

"I think I don't need to drink soup anymore, just sit on the chair that the emperor sits on, and my injury will be healed." Gu Fang felt that he was sitting on a ball of cotton, a little floating.

"I didn't even know this chair had this effect, drink soup." Jun Ruohan scooped up a spoonful of soup and handed it to his mouth.

Gu Fang didn't refuse, opened his mouth and leaned forward, and couldn't help admiring: "Don't say it, the imperial chef is the imperial chef."

"If you like it, I will have someone send you to the General's Mansion on time every day from now on."

After taking the second sip, Gu Fang quickly shook his head: "That's impossible, it's too high-profile. You can't be a fool who is confused by beauty!"

"Pretty?" Jun Ruohan's hand holding the spoon trembled, and he was the only one with a thick skin to say such a thing.

"What, isn't it?"

Gu Fang felt that although he was not as handsome as Jun Ruohan or as handsome as Senior Brother Su, he was not bad!You need to have a good appearance, a good figure, and a good waist that Jun Ruohan can't stop praising!

"You should really take a good look in the mirror and see what you look like now." Jun Ruohan's eyes slipped from his head.

Gu Fang rarely showed a hint of embarrassment, he forgot that he now has a head of hair that has been gnawed by mice.

"I am meritorious service, meritorious service, do you understand?"

Jun Ruohan suppressed a smile, picked up a piece of meat and fed it to his mouth: "Well, meritorious service."

After talking about making trouble, I finally finished a small bowl of pigeon soup.

It's just that Gu Fang's mood was obviously not as good as before. He wiped his mouth and said with a long face, "I'll go first."

After finishing speaking, she didn't wait for Jun Ruohan to speak, and walked out on her own. Just as she opened the door of the study, she turned her head and warned, "Don't look for me until my hair grows out."

"It doesn't count if I come by myself." After saying this, she felt relieved and left with big strides.
