"Add another pair of tableware." Seeing his eager eyes, Jun Ruohan asked Lu Sheng to add more tableware.

After Lu Sheng left, Gu Fang went to the table without waiting for anyone to greet him.

In the past, he would care about the difference between the emperor and his ministers, and at most he would sit opposite the emperor, but now it is different, and he sits directly next to the person.

"Entering the palace so late, you can't just come here for a quick meal!" Jun Ruohan pushed the soup in front of him to him, and the latter didn't refuse, just picked it up and drank it.

"I'm here to tell you about Shen Qiuyu." Gu Fang wiped his mouth and then looked at the golden fish on the plate to wink at him.

Jun Ruohan picked one up and fed it to his mouth, Gu Fang just opened his mouth to bite half of the fish, when Lu Sheng came in with a tray with bowls and chopsticks, seeing the scene in front of him, something exploded in his mind I opened it, but there was no sound.

He just stared blankly, neither shying away nor overly surprised.

The fish swallow in Gu Fang's mouth was neither spit nor spit, but Jun Ruohan was wearing the majesty of the emperor, unruffled in danger, even if someone saw him, he was calm and composed, and he didn't even lift his eyelids, just moved the chopsticks forward again Send it.

Swallowing the fish whole, he didn't bother to pick the thorns, and didn't feel the taste. After Gu Fang swallowed the fish, he looked at the still-moving little Eunuch Lu with a guilty conscience, and said dryly: "This fish ...It is not poisonous, your majesty, please rest assured to eat it!"

Jun Ruohan glanced at him like an idiot, and said to Lu Sheng, "What are you doing standing there?"

"Yes." Lu Sheng stepped forward to set the table and chopsticks for Gu Fang as if waking up from a dream.

He didn't leave after it was over, just stood beside Gu Fang and stared.

"There is no need to wait here, you go and watch outside the door." Jun Ruohan said.

This Lu Sheng is simple and obedient, with a sincere heart, and it is quite handy to use, but sometimes he is too stupid, which makes people feel helpless.

Gu Fang heard the sound of Lu Sheng closing the door, and then recovered from the nervousness just now, and said a little excitedly: "Then, will little Lu Gonggong see anything?"

Jun Ruohan didn't speak, and picked the dishes in front of him without interest.

"He must have thought that I was testing the poison for you, little Eunuch Lu is so pure and kind, he shouldn't think wrong..." Gu Fang comforted himself.

"He looks like an idiot, but he's not really an idiot either. When the cold wind blows outside, he should react in a while." Jun Ruohan said.

"Ah?" Gu Xin felt uneasy.

"It's you, I suspect that you are probably stupid." Jun Ruohan said.

Gu Fang was speechless, recalling that fish was not poisonous just now, he wanted to slap himself twice, this kind of thing where there is no silver 300 taels is only done by him.

He didn't want to get entangled in whether he was stupid or not, he just told the purpose of coming today: "You observe the queen for two days to see if there is anything wrong, and mention Shen Qiuyu's death in front of her more often."

Jun Ruohan knew that he was suspicious of the queen, so he nodded, "I understand."

Gu Fang picked up his favorite dish and buried himself in eating it, but that one had no appetite, he just picked up the snacks on the plate and ate them.

"Speaking of which, the day after tomorrow is your birthday!" Jun Ruohan said.

Gu Fang raised his face from the bowl: "That's right, have you decided what gift to give me?"

"Yeah." Jun Ruohan said no more.

Gu Fang waited for him for a while and saw that he really had no intention of going on, and immediately scratched his heart like a cat: "You...you are so boring."

"It's boring to say it." Jun Ruohan glanced at him.

"Forget it, don't say anything, I'm done." Gu Fang put down his chopsticks and got up to leave.

"What's there to be angry about? Anyway, we'll know what it is tomorrow night." Jun Ruohan saw his serious face, so he got up and grabbed him.

Gu Fang was born in the middle of the night, and Jun Ruohan decided that his birthday must be in time for this time.

"Forget it, think about it, too. Now that I know, there will be no surprises." Gu Fang changed his face faster than turning the pages of a book, and scratched his palm, "Then I'll go first. If the Queen has anything suspicious, you But you must tell me immediately."

Gu Fang had just taken a step, no, it should be said that the foot that took the step had not landed on the ground, and the girdle on the back of his waist was hooked.

He lost his footing and bumped into the arms of the person behind him.

"Brother, this is throwing yourself into your arms!" Jun Ruohan stretched out his hand and hugged him, whispering in his ear.

"If you don't fucking pull me, I can get into your arms by myself?" Gu patted his hand, but unfortunately the latter was not moved.

"Relax." Gu Fang said.

"No, you have to show it when you leave." Jun Ruohan tightened his arms, "For example, give me a kiss."

Gu Fang clicked his tongue, what a big deal, really.

So she turned around in his arms, put her arms around his neck, and gnawed hard on his mouth.

"Your Majesty, without the Emperor's permission..."

"Go away."

The two greasy people inside who hadn't had time to separate were startled by the movement and hurriedly turned their heads to look.

This was unbearable, the Empress was startled and rushed in carrying some soup.

Shen Qiuyun stared wide-eyed at the scene that she couldn't have imagined no matter how hard she thought, she let go of her hands, and the tray and porcelain cup fell to the ground.

"You...you..." The woman's face turned blue and white, and she didn't know how to accept what happened in front of her.

The little Eunuch Lu who followed behind was also dumbfounded, just now he saw the strange feeling of his master feeding Gu Shaoshi, now he finally understood why.

Gu Fang pushed away the person who was still hugging him, shrunk his shoulders and pushed back two steps, during which he frowned and looked at Jun Ruohan worriedly.

This time was different from the past, Su Yanqing knew about the matter between him and Jun Ruohan, Jiangling Jiangtong knew about it, even his parents and the Queen Mother knew about it.

But there has never been the fear and embarrassment of breaking taboo love, stripping their most vulnerable side and making it public like today.

It was also at this moment that Gu Fang thought of a question that he had never thought about before. In the future, for the rest of his life, would they have to wear the cloak of monarchs and ministers in such a shameful way, in order to steal a moment of tenderness and peace in the name of handling official duties? close?

"You go back first." Jun Ruohan's face was frosty, facing Shen Qiuyun's sudden intrusion without courtesy, he could only let Gu Fang go first, and leave the rest to him.

"My minister retire."

Lu Sheng carried the palace lantern to send Gu out of the palace. Gu Fang didn't feel relaxed when facing Lu Sheng. Although he was just a small inner eunuch next to Jun Ruohan, he had a friendship with him over a plate of lotus cakes. Yes, besides, he quite likes this child.

At this time, if Lu Sheng couldn't help but ask him a few questions out of curiosity, or scold him a few words because he felt disdainful for his behavior, he would accept it. It's just such a two-sided silence, which is a bit unbearable.

"That..." Just as he was approaching the gate of the palace, little Eunuch Lu finally made a sound.

Gu Fang seemed to be waiting for this moment. As soon as his voice came out, he immediately stopped in his tracks.

"Gu Shaoshi, you and... Your Majesty, you..."

"It's just what you see." Gu Fang thought of no less than ten ways to respond to this question, and finally chose the simplest and most direct one.

"Oh!" Lu Sheng didn't seem to expect Gu Shaoshi to admit it like this, so he continued to walk forward with his head down, and sent him to the gate of Weiyang Palace.

Oh?

Faced with such a thing, the innocent little Eunuch Lu actually just said "oh".

Forget it, that's fine.

"Little Eunuch Lu, do you feel that the empress is different these two days?" Gu Fang put his own affairs aside for now.

Lu Sheng's head pounded like garlic: "Yeah, it's very different, and it doesn't look like her anymore."

It turns out that Lu Sheng also found out!

"The servant will send you here, be careful on the way." Lu Sheng sent the man to the gate of Weiyang Palace, then turned back.

All the way out of the palace, Gu Fang was full of preoccupations. For a while, he was worried that Jun Ruohan would not be able to deal with the queen, and for a while he was thinking about Shen Qiuyu's death and the queen's abnormality.

But during this process, he always felt that he had missed some important link, which was very crucial, very crucial.

Jiang Ling said that what he is contradicting now is that he suspects that the queen is the murderer, but he also feels that it is impossible to do such a thing according to the queen's temperament.

Lu Sheng said that the queen has become less like a queen.

A person has done a very abnormal behavior, which is not at all like his usual temperament. Why is this happening?

unless……

Unless she's not her.

Gu Fang's eyes lit up, and he finally knew that all the knots were actually blamed on the queen alone.

If the queen is not the queen, all this will be solved.

No wonder, no wonder Jun Ruohan said that Shen Qiuyun already knew the secret between them, but when Queen Cai pushed the door and entered, she still showed such shock and disgust.

No wonder the queen knew the process and time of Shen Qiuyu's killing of Concubine Lan very well.

No wonder she resisted so much when she heard that the Chief Apprentice was going to do an autopsy...

That's because the current queen is not Shen Qiuyun at all, but Shen Qiuyu.

Looking up again, he was already at the Zhang Jiansi, he couldn't wait to run to the place where Chen Fang Shen Qiuyu's body was, and lifted the white cloth covering her body.

Some trembling hands rolled up her sleeves, and there was not a single scar on the bloodless slender arm, let alone a scar, not even a small mole.

Shocked, he was afraid that he had misremembered, so he quickly checked his other arm, but there was still no scar left by Shen Qiuyu when he fell into the water.

Although such a result has been expected, but seeing it with my own eyes, this sense of reality is different.

Gu Fang's footsteps were a little unsteady, and he staggered a bit, looking at the woman in front of him with her eyes closed and whose body was already cold, bursts of grief surged in her heart.

Shen Qiuyu...

With two lives on his hands, Miss Shen, he couldn't let her go.

He knew that Shen Qiuyu broke the matter between him and Jun Ruohan, if she were to be arrested at this time, she would definitely publicize the matter.

But, he can't control that much now.
