Chapter 14 Lai Shang

PreviousBack to directoryNext
 Anping’s craftsmanship is good after one meal, and you won’t get tired of it after two meals. An Huajin was busy with his left and right hands, but he was still satisfied after eating.

After the meal, Qing Mo brought her medicine and jade muscle ointment, and looked at An Huajin several times with undisguised sadness.

"I haven't done much for you today, have I?" An Huajin looked at Qing Mo, "Are you tired of making medicine?"

Qing Mo said with a sullen face, "Master, I have never hurt anyone's hair."

In other words, she bit Gu Qingyan. Is this the first time Gu Qingyan has been injured since he was a child?

An Huajin looked innocent, "Do you have any objections to letting your young master expand his knowledge with you?"

Qingmo: "..."

Don’t dare!

An Huajin drank the medicine happily, picked up the jade muscle ointment, and said twice, "Such a good jade muscle ointment can only treat such a minor injury. It is a waste of resources."

Gu Qingyan put her rice-dumpling-wrapped hands in front of her, "If you don't use jade skin cream, you'll probably leave a permanent tooth mark."

"Use it, use it quickly." An Huajin didn't want to see his teeth marks on his right hand for the rest of his life and feel guilty, "Using Jade Skin Cream on others for such a small injury is overkill, and of course it won't be used on you.

, this is its honor."

Gu Qingyan chuckled.

An Huajin cleansed him twice with wine, applied jade skin ointment, and bandaged him neatly. This time, she didn't get into trouble with the bandage, so the bandage was very beautiful and tight.

made a bow.

After she finished bandaging, Gu Qingyan shook his hand and said, "You can apply the medicine again on me tomorrow."

"It will be scarred tomorrow, you can wipe it off yourself." An Huajin didn't want to take responsibility to the end.

Gu Qingyan looked at her without blinking, "You must start and finish everything you do, and don't give up halfway."

An Huajin: "..."

She bit him, and he still relied on her completely? Then when he fed her Baisha Powder, would she also rely on her?

It's a pity that she didn't know that they were engaged. If she had known, she would have asked his grandfather to call him to her bedside and wait on her for three months until she could get out of bed.

It gives him an advantage!

Gu Qingyan stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'm going back. I'll leave Qingmo to you and protect you secretly."

"No need!" An Huajin waved his hand and said confidently, "With my martial arts skills, anyone who can break into the An family's old house and kill me is also capable. You keep him here and monitor me all the time.

, I shouldn’t be able to sleep."

Gu Qingyan thought for a while, and as a man, Qing Mo was indeed not suitable, "Then I will arrange for a woman to be your secret guard tomorrow. Your Majesty asked me to protect you, how can I not send someone to you? Could it be that?

Do you want His Majesty’s people? Or, use your secret guards in the capital? It would not be good if His Majesty knew about it.”

An Huajin swallowed his refusal and said, "Okay!"

Seeing that she agreed, Gu Qingyan left with a smile.

An Huajin watched his figure leave Fenghongyuan, the moonlight was like a flower, and his back was elegant and jade-like. Hey, how could a person like the breeze and white snow have a black heart? This kind of temper is really tormenting when he becomes rogue.

Human.

In the dead of night, everyone is quiet, but all the mansions are not peaceful, and the most unstable one is Guangcheng Hou Mansion.

Everyone in the Guangcheng Hou Mansion turned pale with fright. As the eldest lady returned to the house, the imperial guards also surrounded the Guangcheng Hou Mansion. People from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, as well as Chu Chen, entered the Guangcheng Hou Mansion.

Conduct thorough questioning and investigation one by one.

People in the Guangcheng Hou Mansion are in panic.

Jiang Yingyue, the pardoned princess of Guangcheng Hou Mansion, clutched the silk handkerchief tightly and tried to calm herself down. During the day, she and her sisters listened to the jokes of An Huajin and Chu Siyan, the young princess of Prince Shan's Mansion.

Unexpectedly, it was her turn to be involved in the poisoned tea case that night.

She was really scared to death. She was afraid that the coachman would bite her randomly and her house could not be cleaned. Once her house could not be cleaned, it would be the end of the Guangcheng Hou Mansion, and she would be finished too. In a house of criminals, it is not about beheading in public,

The men were exiled and the women were sold into slavery. She didn't want that to happen.

The title of Little Princess that she carries was obtained when her mother protected the Queen Mother from disasters, and the Queen Mother asked for a reward from His Majesty. It is very false, not as real as An Huajin's title of Little Princess, but this false title is somewhat less important.

For children, at least she can send a message to the palace to the third princess with whom she is friends, and ask the third princess to help her. Don't let anyone take the opportunity to trample the Guangcheng Hou Mansion to death. Even if she is trampled to death in one step, even if

She was trampled to death. She hoped that the third princess would save her out of friendship.

She had to prepare for the worst, after all, An Huajin's identity was too important.

Chu Xiyun soon received Jiang Yingyue's request for help. As a princess, she didn't have many playmates. One was Jiang Yingyue, the young princess of Guangcheng Houfu, and the other was Xu Ziyan, the young lady of Rongdebo Mansion. The others were incompatible with each other.

They are casual acquaintances.

Thinking about friendship, she naturally didn't want her playmate to be gone, so she ran to see the queen.

Since An Huajin and Gu Qingyan left, the queen also had a headache and felt unhappy. She planned to take a rest early, but when she saw Chu Xiyun coming so late, she asked her, "Why are you coming here so late? But something happened?"



Chu Xiyun nodded. As a princess, she didn't have much ability, so she could only come to beg her mother. So she told the queen about Jiang Yingyue's plight, and asked her mother to intercede, so that the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple would not make things difficult for Guangcheng.

Houfu.

When the queen heard this, her face became serious, "Yun'er, Xiao An'er was almost killed. Since a coachman from the Guangcheng Hou Mansion was involved in this matter, there is no guarantee that other people in the Guangcheng Hou Mansion were not involved. Before the matter is found out, you

It was wrong to come to the Queen Mother to plead for mercy. If the Marquis of Guangcheng is really innocent and it was only the driver who committed the crime, the Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple will find out. If he is not innocent, His Majesty will punish him as he should. He deserves it.

Your boss is no longer young, and it’s time for you to become a governor.”

Chu Xiyun's face turned pale, "Mother..."

"Okay, stop talking. Little An'er was frightened. Tomorrow you go to the An family's old house to see her. She already suffers from nightmares, and she probably won't be able to sleep well at night." The queen didn't want to hear Chu Xiyun continue.

What, she is also angry with the Guangcheng Hou Mansion. How could a coachman have the courage to murder the little princess of the Nanyang Palace? The Guangcheng Hou Mansion is not necessarily clean.

Chu Xiyun could only shut up and whispered, "Mother, I heard that Mr. Gu Qi goes to the An family's old house to accompany his cousin every day. I don't want to see him. If I go to the An family's old house on purpose, I might make my cousin worried. I don't think so.

How is Mr. Gu Qi?"

The queen forgot about this, her face softened, and she reached out to touch Chu Xiyun's head, "Well, it's a good thing that you can find your way back. Except for Gu Qingyan, whoever you like, the queen mother will try her best to make the decision for you."

.In this case, you don’t need to go, just stay in the palace."

"Yes." Chu Xiyun nodded, still crying in her heart. He had liked Gu Qingyan for many years, but now that she doesn't like him, who else can she like? Is there anyone else she can like?

An Huajin actually doesn't care too much about how the investigation of the poisoned tea case goes and who is the murderer behind the scenes.

What she said to His Majesty was correct. Over the years, assassinations and murders around her have really not stopped. She has developed a habit of being vigilant when eating and drinking. This is also a habit developed through many assassinations over the years.
Therefore, after Gu Qingyan left, she was indeed tired from all the hard work, yawned, washed herself and lay down on the bed to sleep.

Gu Qingyan looked at the beautiful bow wrapped around his hand all the way back to Gu's house. Qing Mo followed him, speechless to his young master. It was just a beautiful bow. The young master seemed to have never seen it before, and his hand was bitten.

It's so heavy that it doesn't seem to hurt at all.

Mr. Gu is still waiting in Gu Qingyan's yard, but this time he is waiting in the house drinking tea.

Gu Qingyan stepped forward and smiled helplessly, "Grandpa, do you regard this place as your own yard?"

Otherwise, I would come to his yard every day.

Mr. Gu's beard curled up, "Who told you to cause trouble every day and make me worry about it? Tell me, what happened today? Why is there another poisonous tea case? Someone really murdered that little boy.

Girl?"

Gu Qingyan sat down, stopped smiling, and nodded, "It's true."

Mr. Gu frowned and his face became solemn, "Who did it? Do you know?"

"I don't know. In short, they are not spies from Nan Qi and Nan Liang." Gu Qingyan poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip, and put it down again, "Maybe one of the princes can't sit still, maybe several princes can't sit still.

Maybe it's someone else. Since the eldest prince's private weapons-making case happened three years ago, all my people have been withdrawn. There are not many people left in the capital, and they are all used to keep an eye on the Southern Qi and Northern Zhou.

Spy."

Mr. Gu nodded and suddenly asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"

Gu Qingyan lowered his head and glanced at his hand again, with a smile on his face, "I was bitten by an angry cat."

Mr. Gu: "..."

He looked at Gu Qingyan in surprise, and asked with sharp eyes, "Did that little girl bite? Bite your hand? She's very angry."

Gu Qingyan coughed. Grandpa was still confused, so he could only acquiesce.

Mr. Gu laughed and said, "Little Princess An beat Little Prince Chen until he lay on the bed for three months. If she was really angry, she would have killed you with a sword. It seems that even if she has a strong temper, she should be merciful."

."

Gu Qingyan smiled lowly, "Be merciful with your hands, but you won't be merciful with your mouth. The wound is very deep. Use jade muscle ointment, otherwise it will cause scars if it is not applied evenly."

Mr. Gu raised his eyebrows, "You look quite happy?"

Gu Qingyan: "..."

Have a little bit of fun!

Because his hand was bitten by her, she fed him!

"You are hopeless!" Mr. Gu came to the conclusion and sighed with relief, "I have always been afraid of your cold and indifferent temperament. No one in this life can move you and enter your heart. Now,

I feel relieved."

Gu Qingyan smiled and said nothing.

Mr. Gu sighed with emotion for a while, then straightened his expression, "It's just that this little girl seems to be a troublemaker. She was poisoned with tea and tried to murder her when she first entered the capital. It seems that she will be in constant trouble in the future. You are treating her now."

I'm afraid I'll have to worry about her a lot in the future."

"It's good to have someone to worry about." Gu Qingyan lowered her eyes and smiled, her tone light, "I've had enough of the same life since childhood."

"You! You are a family member, but not like a family member." Mr. Gu sighed, "Okay, you have had your own ideas since you were a child, and I can't control you. But that little girl is really powerful. You said she only

Can you identify the poisonous tea after smelling it? This is no small feat."

"Yeah." Gu Qingyan raised her head, "She knows a lot of things."

"It's a pity that he's not a boy. If he were a boy, why would the Prince of Nanyang worry about having no heirs?" Mr. Gu sighed.

"She can't be a boy, otherwise you won't have a grandson-in-law." Gu Qingyan disagreed.

Mr. Gu laughed loudly, then asked him, "Are you ready to intervene and investigate the poisoned tea case?"

Gu Qingyan shook his head, "I don't think she cares very much. She must have encountered this kind of thing often over the years. What she cares about now is how to get His Majesty to agree as soon as possible to send the five-year donation from the Jokhang Temple as military pay back to Nanyang

To the Nanyang Army. I'll help her handle this matter first. Chu Chen is involved in the poisoned tea case. He is not an easy person to fool. I think he can find out clearly. With him here, I will save some effort.



Mr. Gu nodded, "This young prince from the Shanqin Palace is young and smart, and given time, he will become a great person."

Gu Qingyan smiled and said, "He likes the little princess and wants to marry her."

Mr. Gu was stunned and asked, "Is this happening?"

"Yeah." Gu Qingyan nodded, "But he must be daydreaming."

Mr. Gu's face twitched, and he couldn't follow him and said that Chu Chen, a junior, was just daydreaming. With his grandson here and caring about people, how could Chu Chen have a chance?

It's not that he is overconfident in his grandson, it's that the child has never failed to get anything he wants since he was a child.
