The owner can be his wife

Chapter 12 Chapter 12

Zhongshu ordered Ji Weisheng to feel a little uneasy after reporting to the emperor. He didn't know the child's power. Maybe this matter would be regarded as a betrayal by the child, but the things he found were really not suitable for a fledgling prince. Knowing that it is the most suitable person for the emperor to solve the problem, it's just that Ji Weisheng, a scholar, has fallen into a dead end between love and reason.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Ji Weisheng visited the Prince's Mansion for the first time.

The relationship between the crown prince and Zhong Shuling is well known in the court, but there is still work to be done to save face. Ji Weisheng is a literati, and the crown prince didn't want to have more verbal arguments with him, so he simply led him to the study. The fourth son, a scholar general, and Ji Weisheng, a great writer, dealt with each other.

"Fourth brother, Zhongshuling came to borrow books. I would like to trouble you to find them for him. You know that the books in my study are rarely flipped." Ji Weisheng also knew that the crown prince was not as illiterate as they thought. In terms of family affairs and political situation, the crown prince was probably only stronger than weaker than today.

"I don't know which book Mr. Zhongshu Ling wants to find?" Chen Yan smiled, but it made Ji Weisheng sad, but he was also glad that he came to the right place today.

The prince did not know when to leave, Ji Weisheng and Chen Jian stopped in front of the bookshelf, Chen Jian took out the book that Ji Weisheng wanted, "I think the prince's collection is only the second volume, but I have a previous volume, which is just an extension. For the printed copy, as long as Zhong Shuling doesn’t dislike it, I’ll go pick it up with you after I’m done with the class, not everyone can enter the study in my Prince Yan’s mansion.”

Although the last sentence was whispered, Ji Weisheng could still hear it clearly, and he was relieved, at least the child was still willing to believe in himself.Chen Zheng on the side wanted to hear their conversation clearly, but in the end he got ink on his sleeve. He was a little startled, and dipped his sleeve into a brush washer to remove the ink.

The two people who were attracted by the movement here smiled when they saw Chen Zheng's movements, and the other felt helpless.Ji Weisheng tore off a few sheets of soft cooked leaflets and stuffed them into the sleeves of the kid who was about to dry them. "Cooked Xuan absorbs water, and it will dry after a while."

"Thank you sir." Chen Zheng nodded, Ji Weisheng smiled, touched the top of Chen Zheng's head, looked at Chen Zheng's eyebrows, looked at King Yan, and clicked his tongue, "Everyone says that my nephew looks like an uncle, and your uncles and nephews are quite alike too." ah."

Chen Yan chuckled, "Children who are only five years old all look the same." He patted his son who looked a little strange, and called the distracted boy back to his senses.

Ji Weisheng always felt something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, so he put aside this thought and left under Chen Jian's signal.After seeing off Ji Weisheng, Chen Yan put the book in front of the child, "Go down and change, let's take a rest today, I think you are absent-minded all day."

"Uncle Wang, I," Chen Zheng looked at his ink-stained cuffs, nodded, and packed them up by himself.

"You are stronger than Xuan'er, and Xuan'er will rely on you for help in the future." Pointing the table, Chen Jian's smile came through the voice, but Chen Zheng felt as if he was divided into two, and in the end it was more The cold self had the upper hand, regardless of whether it would arouse suspicion or his father's feelings, Chen Zheng grabbed his schoolbag and ran out without even hearing the call of the nanny outside the study.This five-year-old child seems to be in a constant cycle of hot and cold water during this period of time. What will he look like in the end?

"Sanniang, I'm going out these few days, and Shen Qing will come over. You cooperate with him and don't let him show his weakness in front of Xuan'er." After finishing speaking, Chen Jian packed up his things and prepared to leave. Before going out, Chen Yan turned her head "One month, teach another month."

Xu Sanniang nodded. In fact, the prince said the same thing a month ago.But that's good, sometimes they don't need to talk too much as subordinates.

Yan Wang Mansion, Hei Sang heard a whistle in the stable, nimbly bit the reins tied to the post, and went out with small steps.He heard the familiar sound of kicking in the stable, lighted the hookah, and it was black mulberry again.

Ten days later, in Wenyuanzhuang, Chen Yan did not lure Gu Yunzhang out, but went to Gu Qiyuan's study. Judging from the materials Ji Weisheng gave him that day, Gu Qiyuan had a very subtle emotion for the previous dynasty. When Wenyuanzhuang was established many years ago, it had contacted with the high-level officials in the palace, but the specific incident had been burned down when the previous dynasty was destroyed, and there was no official record of Gu Qiyuan.In the history books, it is even more recorded that the top scholar in the palace examination insulted the former emperor and was demoted.

However, Ji Weisheng discovered something was wrong. For example, the previous dynasty's suspicion of King Huainan was not groundless. Although it was just rumors, there were still some traces in some records in the palace. Through Ji Weisheng's contact, he obtained an almost impossible thing.

Gu Qiyuan cooperated with the King of Huainan, and they kept the royal family of the previous dynasty in the dark. The jade inkstone lost by the King of Huainan was probably stolen by Gu Qiyuan, the eldest son of the King of Huainan, by the previous emperor.

This can also explain why after the search of the whole city that year, the previous dynasty's scruples about King Huainan continued unabated, and even finally forced King Huainan to the road of betrayal.

Now, what Chen Jian needs to know is what role Gu Qiyuan played in this, and what role he is playing now.

After groping for nearly half an hour, under an inconspicuous scroll by Gu Qiyuan, Chen Jian discovered the mechanism.The sound of the organ seemed to attract the guards outside the door, and they stepped in. The organs were fully closed, and the guards outside the door listened carefully, ready to report to the master.

But at this time, Chen Jian was shocked by the huge bookshelves in front of him.If someone told him at this moment that Wenyuanzhuang had no dissent, he would never believe it.

The year on the bookshelf records the age of these materials in detail. It existed here 30 years before the demise of the previous dynasty.But the sound from the mechanism again made Chen Jian marvel at Gu Qiyuan's reaction speed, turned over on the top beam, but found that the gap above it was not enough to accommodate a person.Seeing the bright light coming from outside, Chen Jian didn't have time to think about it, flying over Gu Qiyuan's head before the organ closed was his only chance to leave.

Like a swimming dragon, Chen Yan left a white shadow on the roof and flew past the organ, and when passing over Gu Qiyuan's head, the tingling pain in his waist and abdomen could not be ignored.The convulsive feeling appeared after he came out completely, holding his breath, Chen Jian jumped into the garden from the back window of the study.

The sound of searching had already been heard, but Chen Ji was enduring the momentary convulsions caused by the poisonous needle, and his limbs were temporarily uncontrollable.Even the anti-poison beads that Gu Yunzhang gave him could not remove the toxin immediately, and in less than three breaths, Chen Jian had already heard the sound of footsteps coming towards him.

Prince's Mansion, Shen Qing finished the explanation this time, closed the book in his hand, "Memorize what I said today, and I will check it tomorrow, Xuan'er, especially you."

Looking at Xiao Shizi's suspicious eyes, Shen Qing knew that this performance should be the most failed one, so she didn't explain, and didn't make too much contact, but, Shen Qing looked at the people around her, and sometimes helped them a little bit. It is also possible to have a small world.After all, the status of prince is very convenient.

"Your lord will be punished if he finds out." Si Kongxiang secretly shook his head as he looked at the people cleverly placed beside Chen Zheng. The stubbornness in this guy's mind is really cute.

"At that time, I will go to the Peking Camp. If the prince wants to punish me, he will have to wait for me to come back alive." Shen Qing pulled out the silver needles at the Tianchi Lake and the closed gate, and his expression slowly returned to his original sternness.Si Kongxiang handed over the ointment bottle, "You really don't need my help?"

Shen Qing didn't respond, and silently rubbed the ointment on her temples on both sides.Si Kongxiang opened his mouth, then closed it again, turned and went out.

"San Niang." Si Kongxiang found Xu San Niang who was still playing Chen Zheng's nanny.Get down from the beam, "What Shen Qing has done recently, can you..."

"Say something nice?" Xu Sanniang squinted at Sikong Xiang, "Is this the first day you know the prince?"

"No, I want to," Si Kongxiang's words were stopped by Xu Sanniang's wave.

"Under the premise of making mistakes, any thoughts are superfluous." Xu Sanniang turned around, "Look at me, and you will know. The prince is not easy to talk, but it depends on the situation. If it is Shen Qing, it is completely wrong." Don't worry, he hasn't had any troubles in the past few years of pretending to be a prince."

"That's because the little prince was not involved before. The two of you have never been punished by the prince before." Si Kongxiang curled his lips. Love is the hardest word to say. Man, Si Kongxiang has a headache.

"To tell you the truth, I don't think the lord is so concerned about the little prince's affairs." Xu Sanniang smiled wryly, Sikong Xiang was speechless, "I hope so."

In the prince's mansion, the prince scoffed at the report submitted by his subordinates. "You tell me that a five-year-old child is working with King Yan? Do you think I look like a fool?"

"This subordinate also finds it unbelievable, but the performance of Young Master Zheng in the mansion in the past few years, this subordinate has neglected his duties." A five-year-old child who would never have a relationship with King Yan seems to be someone close to Master Zheng has a problem.

"Go down, check carefully and then report." The prince waved his hand and drove the shadow guards away. These shadow guards are getting more and more lax now.

At the same time, Gu Yunxi also waved away the guards, "I'm fine here."

"Master, the master said that there are assassins in the villa." Qing Tong came in with a book and saw the situation in the room, "What, do you still want to search the owner's room?"

"The subordinate dare not." The guard bowed and retreated, Qingtong turned his head, "Master, the master said that the assassin entered the study, do you have any important things in the study? We are taking inventory. Actually, the things in the study..."

"Yes, there is a painting of Cheng Daoren's landscapes. I don't think my father will place Cheng Daoren's paintings indiscriminately. But let's pay attention to it." Gu Yuntai put down the pen in his hand after finishing speaking, "The little thief may have just entered by mistake. I guess I was also scared out of my wits."

"What the owner said is that the master said that the thief seems to be injured, and he can't run far if he thinks about it." Qingtong knew that Gu Yuntai didn't like her nagging, so she stopped talking, turned and left.

Behind the screen, Chen Jian, who had already expelled the toxin, was listening to the conversation outside, thinking about how to get through this difficult problem.Gu Yunyu had already given him the excuse of mistakenly entering, if he used it again, he would not call himself, but now he can't... What should we do?

A set of white clothes flew over, and Chen Jian took it, only to hear a barely audible voice from outside, "Change it."

Looking at the black and red clothes on his body, Chen Jian changed into new clothes and found that they still fit well, raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I don't remember I left clothes here."

Gu Yuntai looked at the effect and nodded. "There are many things you don't remember, but I don't think you have forgotten why you came here?" With just one sentence, the effect that Chen Jian wanted to achieve just now disappeared in smoke.

"No." Chen Yan kept skipping various thoughts in his mind, but when he saw what Gu Yunxi wrote by hand, he decided on a routine.

"I came because I found out that Wenyuanzhuang was very interested in me recently, so I sent it to my door." Spreading his hands, Chen Yan sat on the side of Gu Yunxi.Not directly facing the window, not facing the door, this position seems random, but it is one of the few positions in the room where you can't act immediately.Gu Yuntai's eyes darkened, did he trust himself too much, or was he too confident?

"You know that I checked you, so you should know that I didn't find anything." Gu Yuntai put down the pen in his hand and dried the paper, "As a reward for saving your life, can you solve my doubts?"

"Tell me everything, as long as you are willing to believe." Chen Jian rested his head on his hands. Although the toxin was cleared, he did not recover immediately.

"How many children are there in total today? How many boys and girls?" Gu Yuntai's heart ached a little. Could it be that just because of his investigation, the two of them could only get along like this?

"I am, one of them." Chen Yan answered the question that Gu Yuntai really wanted to ask without paying attention, but her fingers were unconsciously twisting her cuffs.

Gu Yuntai knew that this was the bottom line for Chen Jian's answer. There were thousands of thoughts in his mind, but they were blanked by Chen Jian's concealment and distrust.With a dry throat, Gu Yuntai only took two breaths to adjust his mood.

"As long as this is enough." Gu Yuntai folded the dried paper and put it in front of Chen Jian, "You have not been in the Jianghu for a few years, and some new sects can be used. I, Wenyuanzhuang, do not enter the imperial court. , I personally checked the news for you.” Wen Yuan Zhuang has rules, spies are not allowed to enter the court, and affairs are not involved in state affairs.But I also entered and got involved for you, the more I check on you, the less I know, no matter what, don't make me regret it.
