The Grand Secretary’s Pampered Wife

Chapter 719: Mother-Child Link (Two)

Shangguan Yan was taken away by the people of Duwei's Mansion, and King Mingjun was also taken away.

The popularity of Jingzhao Mansion is soaring.

Obviously they came first, but in the end all the credit was taken by the people from the Captain's Mansion!

On the carriage back to the palace, Duke Ming felt extremely distressed.

If he had known this earlier, he might as well have sat upright in the wing room. That would at most give him a reputation of being idle, but what's the matter with hiding in the cellar?

There are ghosts at a glance.

"Please trouble the king of the county to come back to the palace with us to meet His Majesty." Said Wang Xu, who was escorting the horse outside the carriage.

What is the Duwei's Mansion for? It is the eyes and ears of the monarch. If you find the king of Mingjun sneaking in the cellar, can you not arrest the king of Mingjun?

Others dare not arrest him, but the Duwei Mansion is not afraid.

King Mingjun deeply felt that he had been cheated by Shangguan Yan.

She must have done it on purpose, knowing that she couldn't escape, so she pulled him as a backing.

This aunt cheated his father last time, and now she's cheating on him again.

King Mingjun and Shangguan Yan haven't seen each other for many years. King Mingjun doesn't know Shangguanyan for a long time, so how did Shangguanyan recognize him?

What about amnesia?

No, he has to complain to his grandfather!

Said that Shangguan Yan pretended to have amnesia, Shangguan Yan deceived the king!

After the people from Duwei Mansion and Jingzhao Mansion left, Xu Fengxian greeted the guests with a smile: "Let's go on! Go on! Girls! Sing!"

Tianxiang Pavilion has returned to its previous grand occasion.

Gu Jiao also found an excuse to leave the cubicle and go upstairs.

"Didn't notice you?" Gu Jiao asked Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng stood by the window facing the street, looked at the direction where Wang Xu and his party were leaving, and said with a complicated expression: "Those are from the Captain's Mansion."

Gu Jiao murmured: "The Duwei Mansion?"

There is no Duwei Mansion in Zhao State.

This is the military power government office unique to the Yan Kingdom. She heard Mu Chuan introduce it on the day she entered the palace. On the outer court of the palace, on the right is the Dali Temple and the Six Departments, and on the left are the Zongren Mansion and the Four Great Captains' Mansions.

But Gu Jiao is not quite clear about what the Captain's Mansion actually does.

"The court official on the right side of the carriage is Guan Du Wei Wang Xu, he is the king's man." Xiao Heng has investigated the information of the major officials of Dayan, and it happens that Wang Xu is among them. Wang Xu is the son of the Wang family and the relative of Wang Xianfei nephew.

Concubine Wang Xian has no princes under her knees, only two princesses. The Wang family does not participate in the struggle for succession, and is devoted to the monarch wholeheartedly.

Gu Jiao thoughtfully said: "So it is the monarch who is arresting people, and that woman is related to the monarch just now?"

Then why are you dressed so shabby?

However, if you think about her appearance carefully, you can indeed bear the words that Xianzi has lost her appearance.

And those eyes of hers.

It seems to be a pair of standard Ruifeng eyes, but they are covered by messy hair, so Gu Jiao is not completely sure.

"You..." Gu Jiao noticed that Xiao Heng was staring at the carriage going farther and farther away in a daze, "What are you thinking?"

Xiao Heng handed her the watermelon he was holding in his hand: "She dug it and said it was for me to eat."

When he said this, he felt a little depressed. He thought of her eyes that were afraid of being rejected, and also thought of the flash of injury when she lowered her eyes when he didn't reach out to meet them.

In the end, the people from the Captain's Mansion came, and she directly stuffed the watermelon into his arms.

The watermelon is cold, but it feels hot when he holds it in his hand.

"And this." Xiao Heng said, and handed a shiny golden thing to Gu Jiao, it was the petal of gold that Gu Jiao broke off to share the spoils with Shangguan Yan, "She gave it to me, let me chase after my wife. "

Gu Jiao: "..."

Did she see that I was disguised as a man?

When I talked to her, I obviously used a juvenile voice, even when I entered the room, I didn't change my own voice when I talked with Xiao Heng.

Even if she suspects that I have an improper relationship with Xiao Heng, she should be thinking about Duanxiu.

Of course, it may also refer to chasing a man and a wife.

Um, do you really look like the one below?

Uh, off track!

Who is that woman? Why do you seem to know Xiao Heng?

...

royal palace.

The monarch already knew about the arrest of the villain by the Captain's Mansion, and he was on his way back to the palace to be punished.

He had accumulated all his firepower and was about to rush to Shangguan Yan to launch an attack, but who would have thought that Du Wei's mansion would bring back a King Ming.

The king of Ming Jun appeared in the place where Shangguan Yan was hiding furtively. At this juncture, his behavior was too suspicious.

King Ming's going to Tianxiang Pavilion actually has nothing to do with Shangguan Yan.

But sometimes the truth is not important, what the king thinks is important.

However, the king of Mingjun couldn't tell about the fact that he went to pick up a certain master for the crown prince——

The monarch looked at King Ming's eyes and almost asked, "Are you going to assassinate your aunt?"

King Ming was about to cry: "You didn't announce that my aunt is missing! How would I know—"

The monarch nodded: "That's right, I did not announce it to the outside world, so you have planted eyeliner by my side!"

Prince Ming: "I didn't!"

Shangguan Yan added fuel to the fire: "You have, I have seen it."

what did you see you saw!

Is there anyone who is so open-eyed to talk nonsense!

King Mingjun gritted his teeth and pointed: "Auntie, she remembers me! She calls me nephew! Her amnesia is faking!"

The monarch snorted and said, "Shangguanyan will call your nephew? Then she really has amnesia, and she never pays attention to you."

Duke Ming: "..."

This can also step on the pit? !

The monarch asked King Mingjun to go back to the prince's mansion and be confined for three months. By the way, he asked Zhang Dequan to call the prince into the palace and scolded him head-on and face-to-face.

It's the son's fault for not teaching his father, no matter what the king of Mingjun went to the theater to do, it's because he, the father, didn't discipline him well.

The prince thought to himself, isn't it your father's fault that I am like this?

It's good to have a brain addiction after saying this. If you really say it, the monarch will kill him.

The king of Mingjun shared the firepower of the monarch, and Shangguan Yan's punishment was not so severe. At least, the monarch didn't really kill her with a sword.

But she was also grounded.

After all, it is impossible for the monarch to easily settle the account of making the monarch bald.

"Where is Qing'er? You tell me, and I will punish you lightly."

Shangguan Yan didn't say anything.

The monarch said coldly: "Shangguan Yan, I didn't keep you in the palace to protect you. It's just that the truth about the damage to the imperial tomb has not yet been found out. Once the truth comes out, you will immediately go back to the imperial tomb!"

Someone from the outer court suddenly came to report: "Your Majesty! There is a clue about the imperial tomb!"

monarch:"……"

The monarch almost choked in one breath.

Shangguan Yan was not much better.

She can't go back to the imperial mausoleum yet.

The king waited for her to beg for mercy.

She insisted on not begging for mercy.

The atmosphere was once awkward.

It was Zhang Dequan who withdrew silently, negotiated a few words with the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs of the Outer Dynasty, and reported with a smile after returning: "I made a mistake, it is not the case of the imperial tomb."

"Ah."

"Humph!"

The monarch and Shangguan Yan turned their faces in different directions at the same time.

Shangguan Yan went back to the Zhaoyang Palace and was restrained. The monarch called Wang Xu from Duwei's Mansion and asked him to investigate Shangguan Qing's whereabouts.

"Yes."

Wang Xu took the order.

The monarch leaned back in his chair tiredly. The weather was hot and sweat was dripping from the top of his head.

Zhang Dequan asked the maids and eunuchs to step back, then looked at the top of the monarch's head and said, "Your Majesty, take this off."

The monarch hummed lightly.

Zhang Dequan walked over and took off his wig.

The monarch has been able to confirm that Shangguan Yan lured him out to save Shangguan Qing. Of course, she did not expect that the other party would chop him bald with a sword, but it would be a lie to say that she was not angry.

The monarch said coldly: "Can't she tell me directly, is someone going to harm Qing'er? Will I not care about Qing'er's life or death?"

Zhang Dequan said with all his heart, you have wiped out her maternal ancestral family, expelled her from the royal family and demoted her to a commoner, how do you expect her to have any trust between father and daughter or between the monarch and the people?

Everyone understands the truth, but they just don't accept it.

Zhang Dequan poured a cup of herbal tea for the monarch: "Calm down."

Degassing is impossible.

The monarch took a sip of tea, thought of the little princess, and asked, "The little princess hasn't come back yet?"

Zhang Dequan hurriedly said: "You are worried that she will not be able to keep up after going to the child prodigy class, so I asked the younger one to find a teacher from the academy to make up lessons."

"There is such a thing." The monarch remembered and stopped urging.

But ask him to approve the papers, but he can't approve them.

He paused, and said to Zhang Dequan: "Bring me my thrush."

The monarch has two hobbies in his life, one is bow shooting, and the other is raising birds.

A few days ago, he had someone buy a colorful thrush from the state of Jin. He loved it so much that he would go to see it every day.

Zhang Dequan went to the door to order the little eunuch, and after a while, the little eunuch rushed over with a look of haste, and said in fear: "The thrush...is gone!"

"Has anyone been to the bird house?"

"Except for the bird trainer, there is only... the little princess."

...

The little princess promised to compare birds with Xiao Qingkong yesterday, she is an elder who kept her promise, so she put His Majesty's uncle's bird in her pocket and took it out of the palace.

"I, I just borrowed it. I told Uncle His Majesty, and Uncle His Majesty has no objection!"

——The little princess climbed up on the dragon bed in the middle of the night and said it to the sleeping monarch.

After the little princess brought the bird out, she put it in a book bag, and didn't take it out until she went to make up lessons.

Xiao Jingkong whistled with his fingers (no sound), and called Xiao Jiu (all by roaring).

The two children did not reach a consensus on the rules of the bird. Xiao Qingkong thinks that the bird is a comparison of size, and the little princess thinks that the bird is a comparison of beauty and ugliness.

Both are full of confidence in their birds!

Then when the two birds met, they were dumbfounded.

Xiao Jiu didn't say a word, but flew over, and swallowed the multicolored thrush in the palm of the little princess, leaving no hairs left.

Small clearance: "..."

Little princess: "..."

...

Tianxiang Pavilion.

Gu Chengfeng finished tonight's show, went backstage, took off his costume and make-up, changed back into his light blue gown and went up to the second floor.

Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao were in the room.

Xiao Heng still stood on the terrace, looking at the direction in which the carriage was leaving.

Gu Jiao didn't disturb him, she just quietly stayed by his side, eating the watermelon that Shangguan Yan dug up.

Ice cold, sweet and refreshing.

What Xiao Heng needs at this time is not enlightenment or heart-to-heart talk, but companionship.

"Sorry for neglecting you." Xiao Heng came back to his senses and said guiltily to Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao puffed her cheeks and shook her head.

The woman not only dug up the watermelon into beautiful little balls, but also removed the seeds.

She ate very happily.

She will be happy when she is by Xianggong's side.

Two people don't have to speak much when they are together, silent companionship is also a kind of tacit understanding.

There are two left.

Gu Jiao thought for a while, scooped one up and fed it to his mouth.

Xiao Heng ate it.

"Isn't it sweet?" Gu Jiao asked.

"Yeah." He nodded, "very sweet."

Gu Jiao fed him the last one too, and then she held the watermelon, raised her head, and gulped down the watermelon juice.

She drank all over her face, as if she had a little red beard.

Xiao Heng was amused by her, and the faint melancholy that surged up in his heart dissipated a lot in an instant. He took out a clean veil and wiped it carefully for her.

The movements are gentle and the eyes are gentle.

Gu Jiao didn't move, she raised her face for him to wipe, she was very obedient.

This is what Gu Chengfeng saw when he came to the door.

He curled his lips and snorted, and muttered sourly: "Stinky girl, you are so good when you are with this kid, and you are a little devil when you are with me!"

Boom boom boom!

He knocked on the door rudely.

Xiao Heng happened to finish wiping, and heard the voice and took back the handkerchief in his hand.

Gu Jiao glared at Gu Chengfeng resentfully, you are itchy again!

Gu Chengfeng received the death stare from Gu Jiao, he gritted his silver teeth, brat!

He stepped into the room, sat down at the table of the Eight Immortals, poured himself a cup of tea, and hummed in a neutral tone: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, in half an hour, the gates of the inner city will be closed."

Xiao Heng gently squeezed Gu Jiao's hand.

Gu Jiao also pinched his.

Gu Chengfeng was caught off guard and fed another bowl of dog food, so full that he wanted to drop the table!

You two don't go too far!

This is my house!

I want you to love me...

No, you two are not allowed to love each other!

"Let's get down to business." Gu Chengfeng said seriously, "Today's King Ming, I found out what he's here for."

Xiao Heng and Gu Jiao left the terrace and walked over.

The two sat down opposite him, Qi Qi looked at him, and motioned him to continue.

Gu Chengfeng didn't pretend to be a fool, and said the news he overheard: "...the crown prince asked him to come here to wait for someone. It is said that he is a very powerful master, but you have also seen it. The others have left, and I have not seen anyone. Any master haunts, it may be that his information is wrong."

On this point, Gu Jiao and Xiao Heng have no evidence, so it is not good to jump to conclusions.

"No more?" Gu Jiao asked.

"It's gone." Gu Chengfeng said.

Gu Jiao said: "Who is that woman who was taken away today?"

Gu Chengfeng sighed: "The officials who came here are very tight-lipped, and they haven't found out yet."

Gu Jiao looked at Xiao Heng.

Xiao Heng was silent.

...

Xiao Heng hurried back to the inner city before the city gate was closed, and Gu Jiao took Gu Xiaoshun back to Yangliu Lane.

Zhong Ding, Zhou Tong and others stayed in Tianxiang Pavilion, they paid all the money, and the girl also called, but they didn't know that Gu Jiao and Gu Xiaoshun had left.

After Xiao Heng came out of Tianxiang Pavilion, he felt strange in his heart, always feeling that there was some kind of invisible involvement in the invisible.

"Young Master, Young Master, Young Master!"

The coachman called him three times.

Xiao Heng regained consciousness and asked, "What's wrong?"

The coachman whispered, "We're going to Lingbo Academy."

In other words, you should change your shirt.

Xiao Heng changed back to the uniform of Canglan Academy, put on a veil, and went to Master Cheng of Lingbo Academy to pick up Xiao Jingkong.

Little Clearance got into trouble today.

He rubbed his little hands and dared not speak.

In the past, Xiao Heng could see through his little Jiujiu at a glance, but today he was a little restless and didn't notice the strangeness of Xiaoqingkong.

Xiao Jingkong had already eaten, and after returning to Linglong Pavilion, Xiao Heng directly fetched water for him to take a bath, and there was no unnecessary words in the whole process.

Even though he has always talked less, Xiao Jingkong still feels the difference between a bad brother-in-law.

He looked at the bad brother-in-law puzzledly: "Did you come to the bottom of the exam again today?"

No matter how many times Xiao Heng took the first place in the test, the bottom line will always linger in Xiao Jingkong's heart.

"No." Xiao Heng said.

He brought some dry clothes and put them on Xiao Jingkong: "Go to sleep."

"Oh." It was rare for Xiao Jingkong not to act like a demon, he crawled onto the bed, rolled over a few times, and fell asleep.

The moon is dark and the wind is high, the weather is hot and dry, the cicadas on the trees are screaming non-stop, and there are bursts of frogs in the lotus pond.

The entire academy fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Heng lay on the bed tossing and turning.

Last night's assassination, Zhang Dequan's cry, and... the woman he met today kept flashing through his mind.

The appearance of the woman holding the watermelon in fear of his rejection became clearer and clearer in her mind.

And the feeling of being pulled in his heart became more and more intense.

He covered his heart, breathing slightly short of breath.

I don't know how long this has passed before he fell into a deep sleep amidst wild thoughts.

midnight.

There was a flash of light in the sky, and there was a rumble of thunder in the sky.

Xiao Heng's heart trembled, he opened his eyes and sat up!

The window lattices were blown away by the strong wind, and the plain curtains swayed amidst the lightning and thunder.

He got out of bed, walked over to close the window lattice again, and accidentally knocked off the teacup on the table.

The teacup was smashed to pieces, he took a step back, trying to avoid it, but still stepped on a fragment.

Blood snaked out from his white and thin soles, all the way to the corner of the wall.

...

The next day, Xiao Heng sent Xiao Jingkong to Lingbo Academy to go to school. As soon as he walked to the entrance of the academy, he heard two Lingbo Academy students say——

"Have you heard? Something happened to the waste princess!"

"What can happen to her?"

"She seemed to want to escape from the palace last night, but there was a sudden thunder, which made her stumble and fall down the back hillside. The fall was so severe that her waist was broken! She's about to die!"

"real or fake?"

"Of course it's true! There is an imperial doctor living next door to my house. He was called into the palace overnight to rescue the deposed princess, and he hasn't come back yet! Now it is rumored that the deposed princess has a bad character, even God I can't stand it anymore, let's send down thunder to punish her!"

...

Xiao Heng was suddenly out of breath, he didn't know how he left.

When the carriage stopped, he was already at the gate of Tianxiang Pavilion.

The coachman looked at him worriedly: "My lord, Tianxiang Pavilion is here, are you... all right?"

"I'm fine, where is the clearance?" Xiao Heng asked.

The coachman was taken aback, and replied: "You sent him to the academy, handed him over to Master Lu himself, and asked Master Lu to bring a message to Master Cheng, if you can't come at noon, please ask Master Cheng to help take care of him."

"That's good." Xiao Heng got off the carriage.

The coachman was at a loss.

Has the young master been hit by something? The whole person became a little lost.

But even so, the young master still arranged the clearance properly.

Xiao Heng never came to Tianxiang Pavilion wearing the uniform of Canglan Women's Academy, and today was the first time.

Gu Jiao is also there.

She also heard about the Empress Dowager, from Mu Chuan.

She came to Tianxiang Pavilion because she wanted to find Gu Chengfeng to find out the truth.

In fact, with Mu Chuan's status, it is unlikely that such a statement is false.

Gu Chengfeng closed the door, the two sat down, he himself came to the table and sat down, and said solemnly: "I have two things here--the first thing, it is true that the abandoned princess was seriously injured, and her life and death are uncertain. The people in the National Teacher Palace were also alarmed, and the National Teacher entered the palace overnight, and he is still trying to rescue him this morning."

"How did you get hurt?" Gu Jiao asked.

"It is said that he stumbled and fell from the hillside." Gu Chengfeng said.

"The second thing."

When Gu Chengfeng mentioned this point, he paused, and then said, "The woman who was taken away by the Captain's Mansion yesterday is the abandoned princess."

Xiao Heng clenched his fingers tightly.

...

Imperial Palace, Zhaoyang Hall.

This dormitory, which had been abandoned for many years, lost its former brilliance and became deserted.

But since midnight last night, it has become crowded again. More than a dozen imperial doctors and more than 20 medical children and women have been summoned to Zhaoyang Palace. The Imperial Forest Army surrounded Zhaoyang Palace. Strong soldiers stood guard outside Zhaoyang Hall.

The monarch stood under the corridor, watching the pots of blood coming out of it, his expression was extremely ugly.

Zhang Dequan invited Master Guoshi over.

The National Teacher entered the room to check on Shangguan Yan's injuries, and shook his head slightly after coming out.

The monarch said violently, "Is she faking again! I know it! What else can she do besides faking!"

The national teacher did not speak.

The monarch said coldly: "Why doesn't Aiqing say anything?"

The national teacher met the monarch's sharp gaze: "I'm afraid I can't do what Your Majesty wishes. She is really injured, and the injury is serious."

If you can let the national teacher say that it is serious, then it is not a serious or not serious problem, it is something that cannot be saved.

The monarch clenched his fist: "Master, heal her."

The national teacher said: "I can't do it."

The monarch yelled: "You are the national teacher! You are the most skilled person in Dayan Kingdom!"

The national teacher said calmly: "I don't have the medicine she needs, even if I have it, the hope of curing her is very slim."

The monarch said in a deep voice, "Where is the medicine?"

"It's not somewhere, it's just a person." The national teacher said, "Sky Vault Academy, Xiao Liulang."

Here is a monthly ticket, bless the princess
