"I... trouble you..."
"lady!"
She was about to say something, but the servant beside her interrupted her and said impatiently
"Madam, please don't play tricks! If you say anything more and the deputy general finds out, he will definitely be angry. If he gets angry, will you bear the responsibility, or will I bear the responsibility?"
The servant had no respect for Madam Luo at all. After he finished speaking, he impatiently urged her to leave. Madam Luo had no choice but to let go of Xiguo's skirt.
She was not afraid of anything, but she was afraid that if Chu Zhiyao got angry as the servant said, what would happen if he got angry at Luo Zhaozhao?
He was in pain but couldn't speak, so he swallowed his words.
Xiguo put her hand away in disgust
"Don't touch me, you old lady! I've spilled the water and I have to make it all over again!"
Being despised by Xiguo, Madam Luo's hands shrank even more. She followed the servant away, and at the end she did not forget to glance at the tea on the ground and let out a very light sigh.
This sigh contained a lot of meaning, but Xiguo didn't think much about it. He turned around and went back to make tea.
When Xiguo came back after rushing, Luo Zhaozhao had already stood up.
"Ma'am, the tea is ready."
Xiguo said this and went forward to help Luo Zhaozhao fix her hair.
Luo Zhaozhao was still a little sleepy. He raised his eyes, but the two swallows outside were very far away, and his eyes could not help but droop again.
"Why were you out for so long?"
Being blamed by Luo Zhaozhao, Xiguo pouted
"You don't know, Madam. The deputy general brought back an old lady from somewhere. When she saw me, she grabbed me and wouldn't let me leave. She even spilled my tea, so I had to go back and make new tea."
"That's why we're a little late."
"That old lady looks like she's from a wealthy family, but I don't understand why she suddenly pulled someone over. It's like she's not very smart."
Luo Zhaozhao slowly stopped holding her hair and looked up at Xiguo.
"No nonsense."
"Where he found the old lady is actually none of our business. We just need to do our own thing."
…
He put the bird food in his hand into the bird's cage and teased it with a straw. Gu Qingsheng stared at the bird and listened to Zheng Xueyi's report behind him.
"Oh, really?"
"She entered the deputy general's residence and never came out?"
Throwing the straw on the ground and wiping his hands with a handkerchief, Gu Qingsheng looked up and said
"I heard this morning that the Governor's wife is ill again and needs to stay at home to recuperate. She may not be able to leave in the short term."
"So it seems that he is imprisoned."
"What should we do now?"
Zheng Xueyi asked, looking serious again
"Need me..."
"unnecessary."
Considering how much Luo Zhaozhao was favored by Chu Zhiyao, how could Mrs. Luo be harmed? Gu Qingsheng said
"Life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are determined by heaven. It's not surprising that Madam Luo wouldn't have any accidents according to common sense. Besides, Chu Zhiyao is going to marry her daughter anyway."
"However, if the evidence in her hands is discovered, it will be a different matter."
Even so, it will have nothing to do with them by then.
"Princess!"
Bai Lu ran over excitedly, holding two boxes in her hands, with an excited look on her face.
“This is…this is…”
She stopped, took two deep breaths, and pushed the two boxes to Gu Qingsheng.
"Princess, the Imperial Preceptor, and... Young Master Yan have all sent gifts!"
It's understandable that Xu Qingyi sent gifts, but Yan Hui...
"What did Yan Hui bring here to do?"
"have no idea……"
Bai Lu shook her head, also confused.
When the two boxes were opened, a faint fragrance wafted out.
In a box was a wooden plaque made of fine golden nanmu wood, and on the plaque was a large word "Changle".
And behind the wooden sign was a small bald monk.
She felt warm in her heart, but also a little helpless.
There was a time in the previous life when it was popular among noble ladies in the capital to have wooden plaques carved by their loved ones. The plaques were made by their loved ones and their names were written on them. It was said that this was meant to pray for peace.
Gu Qingsheng thought of this a few days ago and told it to Xu Qingyi as a joke, and at the end he teased him.
"If the Imperial Master carved it for me, he would definitely add a bald little monk at the back."
I only remember that Xu Qingyi seemed to be suffocated, and after a long silence, he said
"No."
"I haven't shaved my head."
The rejection at that time was now combined with the promise, and the joke I made casually was also taken to heart.
Using this little monk to describe himself, Xu Qingyi can really tolerate anything.
In his previous life, Chu Zhiyao worked until dawn making amulets for Luo Zhaozhao, and he only got a Buddha amulet from Xu Qingyi by chance.
Now that I think about it, maybe it wasn't a coincidence at all.
The moon of Jinchu in my previous life was right beside me, always shining on me, but I just didn’t notice it.
She smiled, rubbed the sign carefully with her hands, felt the gaps between the engraved patterns, and handed it to Bai Lu.
"Please take this to Uncle Song and ask him to make a pendant for me."
Bai Lu nodded and smiled maliciously when she saw the sign.
"Princess, spring has arrived, and everything is coming back to life."
"You're the only one who talks too much."
Gu Qingsheng rolled his eyes at her and said angrily, Zheng Xueyi beside him was a little confused.
"It's still late autumn, and the winter solstice hasn't arrived yet. How can we expect spring to arrive? That's sheer nonsense."
Bai Lu was so upset by this that she glared at Zheng Xueyi.
"I won't argue with you, you gourd-head."
After saying that, he left angrily.
And the remaining box...
Gu Qingsheng slowly opened his eyes and pursed his lips...
…
"Mother! Listen to me! I really saw it! Really!"
The Shangshu sat at the bottom, looking at the Queen above with some helplessness.
Gu Miao sat beside her, shaking her arm, with a stubborn look on her face.
“I really saw it!!”
"Miao'er, stop messing around."
The queen sighed and could not believe that her only daughter was the real murderer.
"Lord Shangshu, losing your son is already a very sad thing. It's been a long time since then, so don't mention it again."
"Mr. Lin is an outstanding talent. It's such a pity."
Minister Lin shook his head, lowered his eyes and said to Gu Miao
"Thank you for your concern, Princess, but there are some things I no longer mind."
"That child has a very unfortunate fate. This is his fate now."
"But it's very strange, Lord Shangshu!"
Gu Miao was not convinced. The more she thought about the letter Luo Zhaozhao had written to her two days ago, the more she felt something was wrong.
The first person she saw must be Lin Song, but because she was too confused at the time, and Gu Qingsheng happened to come out and interrupt her, she was suddenly confused.
However, after Luo Zhaozhao's reminder, Gu Miao discovered that there was something wrong.
First of all, it was very strange for Gu Qingsheng to appear in a place like Huaixiang Pavilion!
