Lord Shoufu, your wife has escaped!

Gu Mingzhou's scalp tingled from being stared at by him, and he couldn't help feeling remorse.

Recently, life has been really smooth, and I suddenly entered the most familiar field, and I lost myself for a while...

But it's all trivial matters, so it should be fine, right?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw Yu Taiqing angrily slapped his hand, got up and left, seemingly very dissatisfied.

Could it be that he has made so many mistakes?

Gu Mingzhou re-opened a booklet suspiciously. Could it be that he has not dealt with it for too long?

Is it?

"What are you doing just sitting there?" Yu Taiqing was at the door, his voice was loud, "Let's eat!"

Gu Mingzhou hurriedly followed, everyone's eyes were full of jealousy along the way, and when the two sat down face to face, the surrounding gaze became even hotter.

He was able to sit with Yu Taiqing peacefully, without being scolded for so long, what the hell?

Tang Man poked his chopsticks unbalanced, turned his head and said: "What is he proud of? Mr. Zheng, in my opinion, this seat should be yours, but it was snatched by a villain."

Let's go...Master Zheng? "

Zheng Ziming came back to his senses and said, "What did you just say?"

"...It's nothing," Tang Man asked suspiciously, "What happened to you recently, why are you always absent-minded?"

Zheng Ziming raised the corner of his mouth reluctantly, and shook his head: "Thank you, Mr. Tang, for your concern. I'm fine."

But this face doesn't look like a normal person.Tang Man thought about it, but didn't ask any further questions.

This scene fell in the eyes of Gu Mingzhou who was not far away.

Then reminded him of one thing.

Zheng Ziming seems to have died in the last year or two.

But how did he die, Gu Mingzhou didn't know. When he heard other people's descriptions, he only knew that he was talented and low-key and cautious. It seems to be the same now.

Political enemies assassinated and died.

Is it a sudden illness?It's not quite like it either. Zheng Ziming has a ruddy complexion and is full of energy. He is a young talent. He has no bad habits and pays attention to proper exercise. He usually does not show any suicidal tendencies. How could he suddenly disappear?

dead

Quietly, it seems that there are some unknown reasons.

Gu Mingzhou doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, whoever lives and who dies is fate, but last time he rescued Bai Yuxin, Zheng Ziming did his best, so it would be unreasonable to ignore it.

After thinking about it, Gu Mingzhou decided

Take precautions against the presumed cause of death.

Ask two guards to secretly protect him, buy a poison-avoiding pearl to prevent poisoning, and get rid of all his cases that may cause major incidents, so as to avoid attacks from political opponents or anger the emperor, and usually get closer to him, so as not to fall to death and choke Death, choking and other accidents...

..

If you can still die like this, it is really God's will!

Zheng Ziming didn't know anything about these secret deployments. When he returned home one day, his elder brother Zheng Derun, who always left early and returned late at the military department, was unexpectedly at home.

Zheng Ziming subconsciously took a step back

, then turned around, sat on the porch, took off the soap boots, and put on soft silk shoes.

"It's rare to come back early, so we two brothers will have a drink tonight." Zheng Derun said with a smile.

The house they live in is not very big. Several Zheng family members who are officials in Beijing live together.

The family rules are strict, and there is no need to pay respects to the elders every morning and evening, so life is quite comfortable.

Although Zheng Ziming himself is a bastard and his mother's status is not high, but because of his unique talent in Yangzhou, he is rarely underestimated after he emerges, while Zheng Derun has a very docile personality even though he wields knives and guns.

Different from Zheng Ziming's hot outside and cold inside, Zheng Derun is a truly kind person, sometimes even to the point of being weak and bullying.

Therefore, the two have always been very happy to get along, often drinking and reciting poems together, and today is no exception.

But for some reason, seeing Zheng

With Derun's face, Zheng Ziming felt a sense of embarrassment and shame from the bottom of his heart, and subconsciously blurted out: "No need."

Zheng Derun didn't expect him to object, so he couldn't help being stunned: "What's the matter, you don't feel well today? Or is the household department too busy?"

Zheng Ziming just came back to his senses

, Squeezed out a smile: "It's a bit busy."

"Ah..." Zheng Derun showed a disappointed expression and nodded, "Then go to rest early, don't collapse from exhaustion."

Zheng Ziming was about to leave when he suddenly saw Zheng Derun's muddy soap boots in the corridor.

Elder brother is busier and more tired than him in the Ministry of War. Occasionally, when he is free, the first thing he does is find himself a drink, but he can't even satisfy such a small thing...

The shame in his heart intensified, Zheng Ziming suddenly raised his head, and told his servants: "Go and cut two taels of beef, Wen Ji

Jug of good wine. "

Zheng Derun was surprised and delighted, and said with a smile: "If you are tired, take a rest. I accept this kind of intention, so you don't have to force yourself."

"No matter how tired you are, how can you compare to your elder brother?" Zheng Ziming shook his head, "It's just that my younger brother is self-willed."

two faces

Sitting opposite, eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, Zheng Derun drinks lightly, but he is also greedy for alcohol, and he becomes a little tipsy after a while.

"Come on, pour me another glass..."

"Brother, you drank too much," Zheng Ziming didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "It's getting late, it's time to rest

It is. ”

How could Zheng Derun be willing, holding his arm and refusing to let go, Zheng Ziming was careless, and the jug in his hand flew high, almost spilling himself.

At this moment, a slender hand held down the jug.

Zheng Ziming's heart skipped a beat,

Looking up, a woman's face came into view.

She didn't wear makeup, and her expression was a little pale, with black hair and black hair, she shone slightly under the candlelight step by step, but her almond eyes were lowered, showing no emotion at all.

"How do you drink like this?" Yang Qing said.

Zheng Ziming's ears were buzzing, but he couldn't hear what she was saying, and let her help Zheng Derun away in a daze.

"Serve the master to take a bath, and make some hangover soup."

The servant agreed and helped Zheng Derun go down. Yang Qing staggered a few steps and followed behind, then stopped suddenly.

Stop and turn around.

"You were there that day, right?"

Zheng Ziming felt as if a drum was beating in his heart, subconsciously took a step back, not daring to meet her eyes.

Yang Qing sneered, as long as Zheng Ziming looked up, she could see the undisguised disdain on her face.

barbarian.

"You'd better be sensible and don't say anything, otherwise..." Yang Qing lowered her voice, leaned into his ear, exhaled like blue, "Life is not as easy as it is now."

With a hula, the night wind blew the lanterns in the corridor, and the candlelight couldn't stop dancing, so inside the house

It also became dark and uncertain.

Zheng Ziming clenched his sleeves tightly.

In the sudden silence, Zheng Derun, who was being supported by his servants, suddenly shouted: "Daughter-in-law, why don't you come here, what are you talking about with your second brother!"

"It's nothing, I will be the chief assistant student soon.

Chen, he couldn't make up his mind, so he asked me. "

Yang Qing straightened up and asked with a smile: "Second brother, is that so?"

With difficulty breathing and unbearable heartache, Zheng Ziming closed his eyes with difficulty.

"Yes."
