Shadow guard, he carried my cub

In the evening, Yiying returned to the residence and saw that Gu Changqing was in his house at some time, watching with an amulet in his hand.

Seeing this unexpected guest, Yiying frowned unconsciously: "Why are you here?"

Gu Changqing waved the amulet in front of his eyes and answered the irrelevant question: "You asked for this yourself? Why didn't you wear it? Could it be that some girl gave it to you and you can't bear to wear it?"

"It was given to the master by Miss Qinglian, it is not mine."

"Then why are you here?"

"This has nothing to do with Shijun, please return the things to me."

"If you don't pay it back, it's mine when it's in my hands."

Gu Changqing unreasonably put the amulet around his neck, but Yiying had no choice but to go up and snatch it, so he could only watch Gu Changqing take the amulet for himself.

"What is the purpose of serving you here?"

"It's nothing, I just want to ask how the investigation of the poisoning incident is going."

"It was done by a young maid of Mingci Palace. The master has already severely punished this maid. Your servant can rest assured."

Yiying did not change his face when he said it, but in fact there was no little maid who poisoned her. The bird's nest was indeed a gift from the Queen Mother to Gu Changqing, but Ren Yiying couldn't find any clues, unless it was the Queen Mother herself. But he didn't dare to doubt the queen mother, so he could only report the matter to the master truthfully in the end.

Chi Ming was naturally very annoyed when he couldn't find the person who poisoned him. He poisoned under his nose and couldn't find the murderer. After weighing the pros and cons, Chi Ming kicked out all the maids of the Ming Ci Palace from the palace and replaced them with a new one. A batch of court ladies serve the queen mother.

After knowing that the bird's nest had been poisoned, the queen mother was even more frightened, and she had no complaints about Chi Ming's actions.

The huge palace is full of fish and dragons, and there are big and small things going on every day. Yiying has seen this kind of thing many times. The master is clean and self-disciplined, but he also needs checks and balances. This matter is related to the majesty of the master. From all aspects, it is impossible to tell the truth to Gu Changqing, so Yiying told a half-truth and half-false.

Gu Changqing pretended to breathe a sigh of relief: "That's good, but I was scared to death. I didn't expect that someone would dare to poison the bird's nest given by the Queen Mother, thanks to Your Majesty's wisdom and martial arts!"

Speaking of this, Yiying frowned and thought for a moment: "Your servant probably knew that the bird's nest was poisoned."

Hearing this, Gu Changqing pretended to be surprised: "How could that be! How could the leader think so?"

Yiying answered irrelevantly: "You are very similar to someone I know."

"Who?"

"His name is Wugui."

"Really," Gu Changqing touched his face: "Does he look as good as me? No way."

Seeing that the other party was going to pretend to be stupid to the end, Yiying said directly: "I don't care what your purpose of approaching the master is, but if you dare to do anything against the master, I will never forgive you!"

Gu Changqing smiled indifferently: "The leader is really loyal to His Majesty, I hope His Majesty will remember your kindness."

No matter how Gu Changqing said this, it sounded like there was something in the words and something was meant. Before Yiying could ask, the other party complained of suffering like a boudoir: "You said that I am so good-looking, Your Majesty, why did you say it once?" If you don’t come to Luoxia Hall to spend the night, does His Majesty despise me? Sigh~”

Yiying also has to admire that this person can change multiple faces in an instant when acting, and turning faces is like flipping through a book. This kind of person happens to be not someone Yiying is good at dealing with. The person Yiying issued the order to evict the guest without hesitation.

"My lord leader is so merciful, but please say a few more words of kindness for me in front of His Majesty. Your Excellency is very grateful."

"Bang" the leader ruthlessly closed the two doors to keep people out.

"Alas~ heartless."

On the second night, His Majesty really went to Wanxia Hall, the night was as dark as ink, His Majesty stood at the window looking at the night sky thoughtfully.

Gu Changqing was wearing a loose robe, and the hem of the robe was hanging on the ground. He brought a jug of wine and poured two glasses: "Your Majesty will accompany you to have a drink."

Chi Ming left the window and sat beside Gu Changqing, picked up the wine glass in front of him and drank it down in one gulp. After drinking, Chi Ming repeatedly looked at the wine glass in his hand as if thinking about something, his dark eyes shone strangely under the moonlight of light.

"Your Majesty will fill it again."

It was only after hearing that Chi Ming put down the wine glass that Gu Changqing filled the glass again with the pot.

"Gu Yu, do you know him?"

Gu Changqing smiled slightly: "Who is that?"

"you do not know?"

"Although I have the same surname as Chen, I really don't know this person. They all say that people with the same surname are born from the same root. It may not necessarily be that Chen and that person were a family 800 years ago."

Chi Ming didn't take this joke-like sentence to heart, he frowned and stopped talking, and went back after drinking a few more glasses of wine with Gu Changqing.

"Master, let's have some snacks."

Chi Ming plunged into a pile of things before dinner, and Yiying worried that the master would be hungry, so he went to the imperial dining room to bring some snacks.

And Chi Ming was not dealing with the piled memorials, but seemed to be flipping through something. He covered what he was looking at intentionally or unintentionally with a wide sleeve robe, which just blocked Yiying's sight.

"Let's put it down, I'll eat it later, let Ford come in to serve you, you can go back to rest tonight."

"Yes."

Yiying's keen intuition made Yiying smell something unusual. The master never rushed him to rest before, but as the master, the shadow guard Yiying had no right to question and could only obey like this.

After calling the servant Ford to go in and take care of him, Yiying did not go to rest, but stayed on the roof, guarding the master, and this guarding lasted all night.

Hundreds of flowers are in full bloom in the imperial garden, and there are still crystal clear dewdrops hanging on the petals in the early morning.

Taking advantage of the cool and fresh air in the early morning, Gu Changqing took a leisurely stroll in the imperial garden, accompanied by a serving maid.

"The view here is really nice."

All kinds of flowers are neatly arranged by professional palace people. Not only do they look very eye-catching, but you can also smell the fragrance of flowers when you take a deep breath. This is probably the only place that makes people feel relaxed in this cold palace.

The maid next to her quickly answered, "The Empress Dowager loves flowers the most. In order to make the Empress Dowager happy, Your Majesty is also very concerned about planting the imperial garden. He hired the most professional gardeners."

Gu Changqing nodded frequently.

"Look, servant, isn't that koi beautiful?"

The maid suddenly pointed at the pond not far away and yelled. The pond was covered with large green lotus leaves. Gu Changqing was attracted by the lady's words and stretched her neck to see the koi, but where the lotus leaves in the pond can see what kind of koi carp.

"Where? Why didn't I see it."

The court lady happily continued to point: "It's just under that lotus leaf, Your Majesty, let's take a closer look."

Following what the court lady pointed out, Gu Zhangqing unconsciously got closer to the pond, until he reached the edge of the pond and did not see any koi.

"Hey~ nothing."

Gu Changqing carefully looked at the pool surface, looked left and right, and muttered that he couldn't see anything.

"Did you read it wrong?"

The maid was standing one step behind Gu Changqing. Seeing this, the maid showed a fierce expression, and stretched out her sinful hands to push Gu Changqing back.

The sound of falling into the water was accompanied by the maid's screams, but the court lady who wanted to push Gu Changqing into the water was dodged by Gu Changqing, and she fell into the pool with a "plop".

"Help!"

The palace lady kept waving her hands and struggling in the water, while shouting for help, Gu Changqing gloated and laughed on the shore, showing no intention of helping her at all.

"It's what you deserve, harming others will eventually harm yourself."

The Empress Dowager loves flowers, and the Imperial Garden is a must-visit place for the Empress Dowager every day in her spare time.

As in the past, Shui Qinglian took the Empress Dowager to the Imperial Garden for a walk early in the morning, with a group of court ladies and eunuchs behind her.

Suddenly the queen mother stopped in her tracks: "Did you hear anything?"

Shui Qinglian nodded: "It seems to be the sound of someone falling into the water."

The queen mother was shocked when she heard it, and hurriedly walked towards the source of the sound.

The sound of water could be heard, which meant that it was not far away. When the Queen Mother and the maid and eunuch rushed over, they happened to see the maid still struggling in the lotus pond, and Gu Changqing leaned forward and back with a smile on the side.

The queen mother didn't care about other things for a while and hurriedly let the eunuchs around her go into the water to save people. The maid was dragged ashore by the two eunuchs, and she spit out a few mouthfuls of water before she recovered.

Queen Mother: "What's going on!"

The maid knelt on the ground trembling, tears streaming down her cheeks: "The Empress Dowager Mingjian, yes, it was the servant who pushed the slave down."

The maid insisted that it was Gu Changqing who pushed her into the lotus pond, but Gu Changqing couldn't argue and was taken back to Renshou Palace by the queen mother for discipline.

Your Majesty has never had a harem before, and the Empress Dowager is relatively more relaxed. I didn’t expect that the first harem sealed by Your Majesty would be so vicious and lifeless. Seeing the maid who fell into the water, she laughed beside her instead of helping her. The more you think about it, the more you think about the fact that a vicious person is by your majesty's side, the more frightened the queen mother becomes.

"Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because of His Majesty's favor. Your Majesty's life is worthless. Aijia will discipline you for His Majesty today."

Two servants pressed Gu Changqing on the bench, and another two servants stood on both sides holding court sticks.

Gu Changqing lay on the bench and stared fiercely at the Queen Mother. With his martial arts, it would be easy to escape, but this is the imperial palace. He is still His Majesty's Servant in name, so it is not wise to run away and make a scene.

Shui Qinglian stood next to the queen mother and saw it with joy in her eyes. The queen mother ordered the two servants to raise the court staff and was about to drop it.

"His Majesty is here!"

Hearing His Majesty's arrival suddenly, Chi Ming led Yiying and a group of attendants into the courtyard of Ming Ci Hall.

"See Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty."

The maids and eunuchs of Mingci Palace knelt down, but Chi Min ignored them and glanced at Gu Changqing who was lying motionless on the bench.

"Send Shijun back."

Chi Ming signaled to Yiying, and Yiying agreed, helped Gu Changqing to leave.

Shui Qinglian knelt on the ground feeling unwilling. The moment Gu Changqing got up, she saw the amulet protruding from the other's clothes, and she was immediately puzzled and resentful.

After Yiying and Gu Changqing left, Chi Ming said, "Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing this, the Queen Mother was not angry: "Why did Your Majesty come here suddenly?"

"My son has something to say to the queen mother."

Chi Ming only got a general idea of ​​what happened and came here in a hurry. No matter what the truth is beforehand, Chi Ming must explain to the Queen Mother what he did today.

The mother and son blocked everyone from talking in the hall, and Chi Ming shocked the queen mother with only one sentence.

Queen Mother: "You said that Gu Changqing is the son of Gu Yu?"

"My son is still just skeptical, and there is no definite evidence."

"If he is really the son of Gu Yu, what is the purpose of coming to the palace to approach you? Since you doubt his identity, why do you keep him by your side?"

The more the Queen Mother thought about it, the more frightened she became.

Chi Ming comforted the queen mother: "Don't worry, queen mother, if he wanted to harm me, he would have done it long ago. I'm afraid his purpose of entering the palace this time is not me."

The Queen Mother immediately thought of another person.
