Cui Zhen stood there with his hands behind his back for a long time without moving his footsteps, and waited until Gu Mingzhu ran to the front.

Gu Mingzhu ran out of breath and her cheeks were red. She didn't know how to salute Cui Zhen when she saw him. She pointed to her head. The colorful butterfly was flying in the wind.

Cui Zhen looked at Gu Mingzhu, who was not wary or thinking on her face. She didn't know anything and only knew how to play and would not be affected by the situation outside.

It seems that the matter in Jinta Temple has been left behind by her for a long time.

"Baotong, it's even higher."

After saying that, Gu Mingzhu stretched out her hand to Cui Zhen: "Go and go play." Her palms were opened, and she was not wary at all.

The manager's mother walked over with the kite string and saluted Cui Zhen: "Mr. Marquis, go and do your business. I have a servant here to serve the eldest lady."

After the manager's mother finished speaking, she said to Gu Mingzhu: "Miss, let's go to the garden, where the kites can fly higher."

Gu Mingzhu smiled happily and was about to leave with her mother in charge. However, after taking two steps, she thought of something and turned to greet Cui Zhen: "Go... to the garden."

The manager's mother hurriedly said, "Miss is going to call her cousin."

"Cousin." Gu Mingzhu shouted happily, but forgot what she wanted to say to Cui Zhen. She just raised her head again and squinted her eyes to the sky. The sun was so dazzling that she reached out to cover it, and the smile on her face never faded.

The servants who came and went, couldn't help but smile knowingly when they saw Miss Gu like this.

Since Miss Gu came, the garden has become jubilant. Although Miss Gu is stupid, she will not lose her temper or punish her casually. She will not be able to mess with her servants. Such masters are rare.

Cui Zhen raised his foot and walked over, reached out to take the rope from the manager's mother's hand: "Give it to me!"

The manager's mother couldn't help but be stunned. Gu Mingzhu couldn't help but be surprised. When she saw Cui Zhen just now, she suspected that Cui Zhen would ask her about Jinta Temple. Unexpectedly, he did not mention it, but wanted to follow her to fly kites.

Maybe she wanted to ask questions when she was relaxed and unprepared? That was great, she just wanted to show her side in front of him.

Cui Zhen is a very confident person, especially for the people or things around him. As long as he feels that everything is under control, he will not have any suspicion.

Gu Mingzhu followed Cui Zhen and several people went to the garden together.

Cui Zhen closed the thread while walking, and soon the kite fell into his palm. The butterfly with colorful wings was very beautiful. It looked carefully and there were also the messy handprints of the girl, which were obviously left by Gu Mingzhu when she was making kites.

Entering the garden, Cui Zhen let go of the colorful butterfly in his hand, and the kite flew up again in the wind, flying higher and higher in Cui Zhen's hand.

Miss Gu still ran after the kite.

Needless to say, Miss Gu is like a child, the higher the kite is, the happier she is. However, when the Marquis has such a good temper, he is like coaxing his own child.

Mrs. Lin came over with her people and saw this situation and said, "The Marquis is troublesome."

"Auntie." Cui Zhen handed the rope in his hand to the manager's mother and immediately saluted Mrs. Lin.

The two of them walked to the pavilion and sat down, and then Mrs. Lin asked about the matter in the prison: "Is there any clue in the case?"

Cui Zhen looked calm: "The murderer I caught was a dead soldier."

Mrs. Lin took a breath of cold air in surprise. This was far more terrifying than she thought.

Cui Zhen said: "I have ordered the manager to go out and take more guards to follow you so that those people will find another opportunity to attack you."

Mrs. Lin thought carefully: "Is it related to the Marquis' loss of war horses?" She could not think of any other reason, but she didn't understand that the war horses were stolen, and the court would punish the Marquis, so why did those people come to kill them?

Cui Zhen said: "I'm afraid I'm going to force the Marquis to find out this case. If Zhuzhu is killed and the people are bandits, the Marquis will immediately ask the court to come to Shanxi."

Mrs. Lin felt a chill in her heart. Zhuzhu really had something to do, so she would definitely capture the murderer and avenge Zhuzhu.

Mrs. Lin seemed to figure it out: "Those people forced us to investigate the case of the "Pearl Thieves", so they left behind pearls to harm people. Our Marquis has long stopped serving in the court, so how could they attack us again and again?

First, the Marquis lost many war horses, but now they are here to harm us. If the Marquis refuses to join the game, they will not give up? Thanks to Zhuzhu, otherwise..."

Otherwise, even if they know that this may be a trap set by a person, they have to continue to investigate. They are determined to investigate the person who harmed Zhuzhu, but since the person who set up the plan has already taken control of everything, they will probably be controlled by those people.

"The prince has spent a lot of effort in Shanxi over the years," Cui Zhen looked cold, "If the case continues to be investigated, I am afraid that the prince will eventually be involved."

When talking about the prince, Mrs. Lin's face looked even more ugly. The prince was also something they could provoke. No one who faced the prince would have any good results.

When the emperor appointed the eldest prince as the crown prince, there were many discussions in the court and the country, saying that the crown prince's mother was humble and even if she was favored by the emperor, she would probably not be able to last for a long time if she had won the position of crown prince for her son.

So many years have passed, and the court has fought each other. The King of Liang, the eldest prince, and the second prince fell one after another. The eldest prince is as stable as a rock on the throne of the prince. His biological mother was also named the Imperial Concubine, and his reputation was condescending to the queen. In fact, he had long taken over the harem affairs on behalf of Empress Wei. Four years ago, the Imperial Concubine gave birth to the ninth prince, and the emperor favored the Imperial Concubine more and more.

Mrs. Lin sighed: "The truth can be found without any connection with the prince, otherwise I am afraid that the case will be difficult to see the light of day in the end." Everyone knows the actions of the imperial concubine and the prince, and the Queen cannot do anything, so who can do it?

Empress Wei was a famous talented woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty. She was proficient in both literature and martial arts. When she was in the boudoir, many high-ranking officials asked someone to come to ask for marriage. In the end, the Empress married the King of Lu, who is now the emperor.

After Empress Wei married, it took only two years to make the Lu palace completely refreshed. The Lu King made a wish that he would never take a concubine for his whole life.

Unfortunately, Wei has never been pregnant and has to carry two concubines for the royal palace, one of which is the current imperial concubine Jiang.

The second year of Jiang's house, he gave birth to the eldest prince. At that time, although Jiang gave birth to a child, he was not favored. The King of Lu and the Princess Wei still had a close relationship, and the Wei family also followed the King of Lu wholeheartedly.

A few years later, the First Emperor passed away, and King Lu officially ascended the throne and became the current emperor. It was also from that time that the relationship between the emperor and the empress was much worse than before.

In order to give birth to a legitimate son, the Empress used many methods to help with pregnancy, but in the end the child was unable to be saved. After the three children died in a row, the Empress's temperament changed drastically. She was often crazy in the palace and was punished by the Emperor several times. Although she was not deposed as the Empress, she could no longer manage the affairs of the harem. The Wei family also knew how to advance and retreat. Seeing this situation, the Empress's elder brother recuperated at home on the grounds of his old illness and lived a leisurely life with his children around his knees.

Even so, the prince and the imperial concubine did not let the Wei family go five years ago.

The prince killed the chicken to warn the monkey and suppressed the court officials.

Who in the court and the country dares to say that he is stronger than the queen and the Wei family? Depin's fifth prince is weak and Anpin's seventh prince is still young, so no one can compete with the imperial concubine.

So in recent years, the prince and the imperial concubine began to blatantly recruit people to serve them.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin's fingers were cold. How could there be a good thing for the prince to target them? When the prince came to the door and asked the prince to bow his head, the prince refused because he was unintentional to make the prince punish them?

Mrs. Lin said: "Is the dead man who killed Zhuzhu the prince's man?"

Cui Zhen shook his head: "I don't know yet, but I think the prince doesn't have to borrow the name of "Pearl Thieves" if he wants to kill people. Perhaps the opposite is true. He sent out the dead soldiers to secretly oppose the prince. He did this and wanted to win more people against the prince together."

Mrs. Lin couldn't think of a reason for the moment.

"Does your aunt know about Wei Yuanchen?" Cui Zhen said, "I heard the news that he came to Shanxi. Wei Yuanchen was ordered to investigate theft of war horses. Maybe he would find his aunt. Auntie should be more careful about Wei Yuanchen.

This person's methods are sinister and he uses all kinds of things. It is not ruled out that he will secretly use some means to deal with the prince."

The person who killed Zhuzhu may have been sent by the Wei family. Mrs. Lin was shocked and scared. What was shocked was that they had been targeted, and what was afraid of Zhuzhu's mistakes.

Cui Zhen's eyes were slightly closed: "I have never wanted to be involved in these struggles. I also know that my aunt's family is the same as mine, so it's always right to be more careful."

After Cui Zhen said that, he looked to the side. Gu Mingzhu was tired of running away and was sitting and resting in the corridor not far from him. Her feet were shaking and she was very comfortable.

"I'll tell my aunt again when I have news." Cui Zhen stood up and said goodbye to Mrs. Lin.

"Sweet." Gu Mingzhu ran over and stuffed the candied fruit in her hand into Mrs. Lin's mouth.

It turned out that Gu Mingzhu came over to deliver food to Mrs. Lin. When Cui Zhen looked at Gu Mingzhu, his expression was as gentle as possible. When facing a girl suffering from a stupid disease, he naturally could not speak harshly to avoid scaring her.

"Don't run around," Cui Zhen said, "If you go out, you have to follow your aunt."

Gu Mingzhu seemed to understand, but in a blink of an eye she smiled and hugged Mrs. Lin's neck.

Cui Zhen turned around and walked towards the outer courtyard. Even if the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion has survived this matter safely, it will inevitably decline in the future. He came to mention it, hoping that the Gu family would not lose their lives because of it. It was related to the battle between the court and not the declining Marquis Mansion. Wei Yuanchen might have come to Taiyuan, and he did not want the Huaiyuan Marquis Mansion to be used by the Wei family.

...

Gu Mingzhu played in the garden for an hour, exhausted her energy, leaned on Mrs. Lin's shoulder, and her eyelids began to become heavy.

"Zhuzhu, go back to sleep and be obedient." Mrs. Lin said and looked at Baotong.

Baotong hurriedly helped Gu Mingzhu up, and Gu Mingzhu walked forward step by step reluctantly.

"Baotong, I want to eat honey fruit."

"I will go out to buy it for you now, and you will be able to eat it when you wake up."

Mrs. Lin watched her daughter lying on the bed and fell asleep, and then she instructed the servant to take care of the lady, and then she left with her mother in charge.

Baotong also went out to buy the "honey fruit" that Gu Mingzhu mentioned.

Miss Gu called all the sweets "honey fruits", and only Baotong could buy sweets that Miss Gu would like to eat, so no one could take care of this job.

Half an hour later, Baotong returned to the room and Gu Mingzhu was already reading the medical book.

Baotong said proudly: "Miss, the news has been sent back there." Every time she successfully retrieved the news, she felt that she was so awesome.

After taking out the paper from the bamboo tube, Gu Mingzhu saw the thing drawn on it.

"Is this a ghost painting talisman?" Baotong couldn't understand it again and rubbed his eyes hard.

“The person is drawn.”

Baotong said disgustedly: "That's so ugly, you don't even have a nose or eyes."

"Don't draw those," Gu Mingzhu stretched out her finger, "He told me that this person had been injured and whether there were any special traces on his body.

If you want to know what this person has done, you don’t have to say it. You can also find clues in him. What they have done will leave some marks on your body."

After saying this, Gu Mingzhu frowned. The murderer was about to die, not because she pushed down from the hillside or because she bit her tongue, but because he was seriously ill and had not lived for a long time.

Moreover, she has seen this disease, not only has she seen it, but she often gives medicine to such patients.

Gu Mingzhu looked at the medical book on the table. Should she start from here?
