General Qin suddenly reached out and snatched Ge Qing's wine glass, and said to everyone: "Ge Qing's injury has not healed yet, so just drink a moderate amount today."
Gu Sang looked at Ge Qing meaningfully, then looked at General Qin, and said with a smile:
"Well, just the right amount."
"I don't want to wake up with a headache tomorrow morning. Besides, you can't go to court tomorrow reeking of alcohol. You'll be reported to the emperor again then."
Gu Sang did not break this window paper, and the others were tactful enough not to make a fuss, but let the situation develop.
Pei Weiqi followed Gu Sang's words and rubbed his forehead with a headache. "Based on the speed at which they submit memorials, if there are less than a hundred, I will take your surname."
Everyone burst into laughter.
After eating and drinking, everyone left.
Pei Weiqi took a carriage back to the palace, General Qin sent Ge Qing back home, and Gu Sang and Xiaoxue took Madam Li's carriage back to the inn.
After sending the two back to the inn, Mrs. Li asked the driver to drive the carriage back to the residence she had bought in the capital.
After Gu Sang and Xiaoxue went upstairs, they returned to their respective rooms.
Gu Sang took off his coat and was about to go to bed when he suddenly heard a strange noise outside the window.
It looked like something hit the outside of the window.
Gu Sang lives on the second floor. What could possibly hit the second-floor window?
Gu Sang held the flashlight in his right hand and carefully opened the window.
Suddenly, I saw a hidden weapon nailed to the window coffin, with a cloth strip tied to it.
Gu Sang took out the hidden weapon, closed the window, and took it back to the room to look at it.
Suddenly, a message was written on the banner: "If you want to save Madam Li, come to the Li Mansion immediately."
Since Pei Weiqi ascended the throne, he ordered the Li Mansion to be sealed off.
The owner of the Li Mansion, Li Bin's father, disappeared on the day of the siege.
Now, someone actually asked Gu Sang to go to Li Mansion?
Gu Sang knew that this person must be someone who opposed Pei Weiqi and had bad intentions. It would definitely be dangerous to go to Li's house.
But it is very likely that Mrs. Li has been captured by this person.
Moreover, the note asked Gu Sang to leave quickly, probably because they were afraid that Gu Sang would delay or tell people like Pei Weiqi and Zhou Qichen about this.
Gu Sang made the decision almost instantly: he had to go to the Li Mansion.
Otherwise, Mrs. Li will be in danger.
Gu Sang walked out of the room, knocked on Xiaoxue's door, and handed the note to Xiaoxue.
"Xiaoxue, after I leave, please wait for an incense stick before leaving."
"Then go find Ge Qing."
I'm afraid there are spies in the palace and Zhou Qichen, and Xiaoxue, a weak girl, may be in danger.
So we can only find Ge Qing first. Ge Qing has someone in his house, so he will naturally protect Xiaoxue and pass the news to Pei Weiqi at the same time.
"Okay, then be careful and wait until I get help."
Xiaoxue took on the task cautiously.
None of them dared to gamble that the people who wanted to capture Madam Li would wait patiently until they went to find Pei Weiqi and lead troops to surround the Li Mansion.
Therefore, Gu Sang must first ensure Madam Li's safety.
After leaving the inn, Gu Sang did not go directly to the Li Mansion, but instead thought of going to Madam Li first to confirm whether Madam Li had returned.
However, before she could walk far, she saw a carriage parked on the side of the road.
Gu Sang's pupils shrank in shock. This carriage belonged to Madam Li!
She had just ridden in this carriage.
Gu Sang hurried forward to check the carriage, only to find that the driver had been killed and Madam Li had disappeared.
Seeing this scene, Gu Sang no longer hesitated and hurried to Li's house.
The seal of the Li Mansion was still there, but Gu Sang tore it open and walked in through the gate.
Since there was no light in the yard, we could only rely on the moon in the sky to see the road ahead.
Gu Sang stood in the courtyard and waited for a while, only to see a light come on in a wing room.
Gu Sang walked over quickly and kicked the door open.
"I'm here. Where is Madam Li?"
Gu Sang didn't go in directly, fearing that there might be a trap inside, so he stood at the door and spoke inside.
As the light got closer, Gu Sang finally saw someone.
It was Lord Li who had disappeared long ago!
Next to Lord Li stood a middle-aged man who looked extremely dignified. He stared at Gu Sang scrutinizingly with his frowning peach blossom eyes.
"I want to see Madam Li!"
Gu Sang took the initiative to speak and confirm Mrs. Li's safety.
Lord Li looked at the middle-aged man, who snorted coldly:
"Everyone in the Li Mansion is mine now. You can barely protect yourself, yet you still care about the safety of others."
Gu Sang frowned and stared at the middle-aged man, his face full of sarcasm:
"When you open your mouth, I feel like a fly buzzing around me. I can't help but want to slap it to death."
"Let me think about it, the only person whose words I find so annoying is Pei Changying."
"Could it be that you are from the Pei family?"
Hearing Gu Sang's humiliating words, the middle-aged man's face flushed red with anger and he shouted angrily:
"Gu Sang! You are a member of the Pei family in life, and a ghost of the Pei family in death."
"According to seniority, you should call me uncle."
Gu Sang sneered: "Oh, so you are the current head of the Pei family."
"No wonder you're so annoying. When it comes to shamelessness, you're number one."
"Even Pei Changying is no match for you. No wonder you can become the head of the Pei family."
The middle-aged man was so angry that he wanted to kill Gu Sang with a sword. Lord Li saw this and hurriedly stopped him.
"Calm down first, she can still be useful to us."
"It was with her help that Pei Weiqi was able to sit in that position."
Gu Sang heard Lord Li's words clearly and immediately understood.
It turns out that the reason why Lord Li disappeared during the search of the Imperial Guards was that he was hidden by people from the Pei family.
