The place where they camped was leaning against a small hill. There were too many people in the camp, and it was not convenient for them to talk deeply, so the two climbed up the small hill.

The crescent moon hangs in the sky, and you can see the sea in the distance. The bright moon is in the sky, the blue sea is full of waves, and the scenery is quite good.

However, facing the beautiful scenery on a good day, the two of them had no intention of admiring the scenery.

Duan Mingchen looked at Gu Huaiqing. He lowered his head. Under the bright moonlight, his delicate and flawless side face was covered with a layer of soft light. His long and thick eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly fluttering its wings. Hold it in your hand and touch it.

Duan Mingchen's heart softened, and he said: "Huaiqing, I was wrong that day, and I misunderstood you. I'm sorry, it was my brother's mistake."

"Heh..." Gu Huaiqing chuckled, "Brother Duan, what do you think is wrong?"

Duan Mingchen has been feeling guilty since that day, especially when he later learned that Gu Huaiqing saved Luo Qin's life from the enemy's throwing knife, but he still misunderstood that he was not good for the injured Luo Qin.

"My mistake was judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. However, I was really in a hurry at the time, thinking... well, I don't really doubt you, I..."

Duan Mingchen has always had a clear mind and a well-organized way of doing things, but when facing Gu Huaiqing, he was rarely eloquent. The more he wanted to explain, the more he couldn't explain clearly, he was confused, his face flushed red.

"It can be seen that in your heart, I am a cruel and merciless villain, right?" Gu Huaiqing laughed at himself, a coldness emerged from his bones, and he lowered his eyes, suddenly feeling a little disheartened.

"No, no, that's not the case! On the contrary, you saved Luo Qin's life regardless of past suspicions, and even asked a doctor to treat his wounds. You repayed evil with kindness. I only feel admiration for your generosity, and feel ashamed."

"Repaying grievances with virtue?" Gu Huaiqing sneered twice, "You are wrong, I am not a saint! I am a person who likes to contradict others the most. Doesn't Luo Qin look down on me? I just want him to owe me one." I want to see what a big favor you have, he owes me his life, will he dare to be arrogant in front of me in the future!"

Duan Mingchen laughed, and did not change his attitude towards Gu Huaiqing because of his extreme remarks. Instead, he bowed deeply: "Anyway, I misunderstood you. I was wrong. Brother Yu apologized to brother virtuous. I promise, in the future Never do it again, please forgive me this time."

Duan Mingchen was usually serious, serious and majestic, never before had he bowed his head in such a subdued manner, Gu Huaiqing finally calmed down after holding back for a long time, raised his face slightly, and said tuggingly: "If I don't forgive, what will you do?"

Duan Mingchen saw that his face softened, he was happy, and said with a smile: "I know Huaiqing is the most broad-minded, you don't care about that boy Luo Qin offending you like that, how can you remember to hate Brother Yu?"

Duan Mingchen was joking, and Gu Huaiqing gave him a thoughtful sideways glance.He is outstanding in appearance, occupies a high position at a young age, and is favored by the emperor. I don't know how many people maliciously slander him because of jealousy, mocking him like a woman like Luo Qin, or light, even worse, but he Continuing and taking it to heart, do what you want, just want to have a clear conscience and be frank, but why can't Duan Mingchen have a little doubt, and he can't stand it, and even feel depressed for several days in a row?

Well, probably because you hate others wronging you, right?It's rare to be a good person once, but you are suspected by this piece of wood, so be extra angry!

Gu Huaiqing found a plausible reason for himself, but he was not willing to let him off so easily, deliberately making things difficult: "Then I can't forgive you for nothing."

Duan Mingchen nodded sincerely: "It's true that you can't forgive me for nothing. Brother Yu should show his sincerity and apologize to you."

With that said, Duan Mingchen took out an object from his arms and held it in front of Gu Huaiqing.Gu Huaiqing saw that it was a pair of gloves, black and smooth, as thin as cicada's wings.

"Shark skin gloves!" Gu Huaiqing's eyes lit up.

Duan Mingchen smiled and said: "This shark skin glove is not afraid of all kinds of poisons, it is impervious to water and fire, and it is extremely tough. It is a perfect match for your silkworm silk."

It has to be said that this gift has been sent to Gu Huaiqing's heart. His sky silk paired with shark skin gloves is like a tiger with wings added.He immediately put on his hand, the size was just right, it fit very well, he put it into his arms unceremoniously, and said with a smile: "If you have the heart, I will accept the gloves!"

Duan Mingchen saw his smiling face for the first time in two days, it was like seeing the sun through the clouds, the haze in his heart dissipated, he couldn't help feeling, if he could always see his smile like this, so what?In the past, King You of Zhou did not hesitate to make fun of the feudal lords for the sake of beauties, but today he can finally understand the feelings of a foolish king who lost his country for the sake of beauty!

Duan Mingchen raised Gu Huaiqing's wrist. His skin was already fair, but there were two dark purple fingerprints on it, which were very dazzling. Duan Mingchen felt guilty and distressed, rubbed it lightly and said, "Does it still hurt?"

"It hurts, it hurts to death!" Gu Huaiqing yelled exaggeratedly, but the pain was gone long ago, but Gu Huaiqing's skin was white, and a little bruise was particularly eye-catching.

Duan Mingchen also noticed it, and joked and laughed: "Then what should I do? May I let you beat me up?"

Gu Huaiqing said solemnly: "Remember it first, when one day I'm in a bad mood, I'll pinch and swell your whole body."

"Okay, you can pinch it as you like." Duan Mingchen believed that his skin was rough and his flesh was thick, and his whole body was covered with hard muscles, so it would be strange if he pinched it!

The two joked for a while, and Duan Mingchen remembered the thrilling scene where Xiangye Xiongfei accidentally ingested poisoned wine and Gu Huaiqing rescued him, so he asked the doubt in his heart: "Huaiqing, everyone said that there is no cure for arsenic, how did you know the detoxification method?"

Gu Huaiqing didn't speak, just lowered his head and straightened his sleeves, his eyes were a bit sad.

Duan Mingchen said casually: "If it's inconvenient to say, it's okay, I'll just ask casually."

"No, there is nothing to hide." Gu Huaiqing said quietly, "You should know that after I was a criminal minister, when my grandfather committed a crime, the late emperor issued an order to punish him, implicating the nine clans of the Gu family. I was lucky to escape death because I was underage. , did not enter the court as a slave. My own mother was not my father's main wife, but an aunt. She died before the Gu family was convicted. It was poisoned by arsenic. I was only six years old at that time, and I remember she drank a bowl of Tang, suddenly his face turned black, his seven orifices were bleeding, he fell to the ground and convulsed, and died within a few breaths. I was so frightened that I cried and became seriously ill. This nightmare has been haunting me..."

"It was only when I grew up that I realized that she was poisoned to death by arsenic. I determined to find a solution to the arsenic. Later, I met Shi Shi in the palace. He is a direct disciple of Shi Zou Jing of the Taiyuan Hospital. He has a lot of research on poisons. , gave me this prescription, but I haven’t tried it yet. Just now, in a hurry, a dead horse became a living horse doctor. I was lucky enough to try it. Fortunately, the guy was not poisoned deeply, so he was rescued. Well, it seems that I can go back It is also a good thing to let him write it into medical books and use it to save the world and save people."

Although time can't be turned back and mother can't be saved, but thinking that many people will be rescued because of this in the future, Gu Huaiqing's face shows a bit of sincere joy.

It was the first time for Duan Mingchen to hear Gu Huaiqing talk about his family background. Although his expression was indifferent, as if he was describing the affairs of an irrelevant person, it was this calmness that aroused pity in Duan Mingchen's heart.

Duan Mingchen asked softly: "At what age did you enter the palace? You must have suffered a lot, right?"

Gu Huaiqing shook his head and said with a faint smile: "After my biological mother died, I was locked in a small courtyard, unable to go out for a step, and three meals a day were delivered by servants. This kind of life lasted for more than two years until I was released after the imperial decree came down, and Gu’s entire family was convicted. In fact, it is a good thing for me to enter the palace. Otherwise, if I continue to be imprisoned, I will become a fool if I don’t go crazy. Although the days in the palace It's hard, but I get used to it after living, and after meeting His Majesty, I haven't suffered any more."

Duan Mingchen couldn't help but think of the strange reaction of Gu Huaiqing's body when they shared the same bed that night, and couldn't help but want to ask how he escaped the punishment of cleansing himself, but at this moment, it seemed inappropriate to ask such unwelcoming words.

What's more, no matter whether he is a real eunuch or not, Gu Huaiqing's life experience is worthy of pity.He lost his biological mother when he was young, and later his whole family was beheaded, and he was reduced to a lowly palace slave.Although Gu Huaiqing is young, he has experienced ups and downs in his life, which few people can match. What is rare is that he did not give up on himself, nor did he become angry with the world, which is really admirable.

Duan Mingchen held Gu Huaiqing's hand, and said with great care: "If you don't dislike it, I will be your relative in the future, I will love you and protect you, and I will not let you suffer any grievances!"

Duan Mingchen looked at Gu Huaiqing nervously. He knew that it was a bit presumptuous for him to say that. Although Gu Huaiqing had no relatives, but he had a detached status and the emperor's favor as a talisman, he really couldn't think of anyone who could wrong him.However, he didn't regret it, he held Gu Huaiqing's hand stubbornly, and looked at him earnestly with his dark eyes.

Gu Huaiqing raised his eyes and looked at him. The sincere emotion in Duan Mingchen's eyes moved him. He was rejected by his family since he was a child. It is easy to have today's status.When he was out of power, he was belittled by others, and when he gained power, he was hated by others. How could someone have confided in him and said such sincere words?

Gu Huaiqing only felt that his eyes were hot, and his chest seemed to be stuffed with fire. Even though he was usually eloquent, he couldn't say anything at this time, and just nodded indiscriminately.

Seeing that he agreed, Duan Mingchen was overjoyed, he hugged him by the waist, and turned his feet off the ground twice, the satisfaction in his heart could not be described in words.

Gu Huaiqing hugged Duan Mingchen coldly, was taken aback, then laughed happily, and hugged Duan Mingchen's neck with his backhand: "Since you're my brother, don't bully me in the future!"

Duan Mingchen put him down, touched his soft and smooth hair, and couldn't help pinching his reddish cheeks: "Good brother, it's too late for my brother to love you, how could he bully you?"

The two let go of their previous suspicions, their relationship went further than before, and they regarded each other as the closest people ever since.

The two sat side by side on the grass and began to discuss the case.

"In your opinion, who is going to poison Aino Xiongfei?" Gu Huaiqing asked.

"After all, it can't be from Dongying. Aino Yufei is the only son of General Dongying. The Dongying people will try their best to save him and will never kill him." Duan Mingchen added, "By the way, I hired an interpreter and let him Interpret the note left by Yuto Aino in the toilet that day."

There were so many things going on in the past few days, Gu Huaiqing almost forgot about it, and hurriedly asked: "What is written on that note?"

"The note was left for his father, General Aino. He said that he did not kill Princess Goryeo, but he was framed. I am afraid that someone will deliberately murder him and destroy the peace talks between Dongying and Daqi. Please send someone to rescue him as soon as possible. .”

"Yufei Aino has always been cunning. Could it be that he deliberately wrote it for us to confuse the public?"

Duan Mingchen shook his head: "First, he left a note very carefully. He clearly wanted to avoid us, and left the note to Dongying's secret line, so that he could pass it on to his father; Guarding desperately, the Japanese have already rescued him, in that case, what reason does he have to lie?"

"That's right..." Gu Huaiqing looked confused, "If he is not the murderer, who is it?"

Duan Mingchen frowned and said, "Perhaps, we should think about it, if Aino Xiongfei dies, who will benefit from it?"

Gu Huaiqing said: "Xiong Fei has countless enemies. If he dies, many people will applaud him. From this point of view, it is difficult to find out."

"Although he has many enemies, the ones who hate the most are probably the Koreans. The entire royal family of Korea was almost slaughtered by him."

"Speaking of Korean people, I met a father and daughter singing singers from Korea in Qingzhou City today."

Gu Huaiqing recounted the conversation he had with Gao Li's father and daughter. After hearing this, Duan Mingchen frowned deeply and fell silent for a moment.

"In retrospect, Princess Gaoli's behavior is a bit abnormal..." Gu Huaiqing murmured, carefully recalling all the clues related to the case.

Little by little seemingly irrelevant details gradually formed a net in my mind, and the fog in front of me gradually dissipated...

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed, and a bold guess appeared in Gu Huaiqing's mind.He suddenly raised his eyes and met Duan Mingchen's gaze. Gu Huaiqing read the tacit understanding from his eyes. It seems that they once again thought of a piece...
