Fu Yun's absence did not attract the attention of Gong Yueyue and Du Ruotong, because at this moment, the two of them were discussing a puzzling matter.
After dismissing Xiaomei and Xing'er, Du Ruotong pulled Gong Yueyue to his side and whispered to her: "Yueyue, I heard my husband-in-law talking to my eldest brother about Eunuch Tong these days, it's really unbelievable. "
Gong Yueyue cracked a walnut and asked casually: "What? Is there any result?"
"Yes. But you must not have imagined this result. Even my husband-in-law and eldest brother find it incredible."
Seeing what Du Ruotong said was so mysterious, Gong Yueyue became a little interested: "Tell me about it, why is it so incredible?"
Du Ruotong was not in a hurry to make a direct statement, but asked her instead: "Eunuch Tong committed the crime of collaborating with the enemy, right? Can you tell me what the crime should be?"
Gong Yueyue didn't even think about it and said decisively: "It is a capital crime. Treason and betrayal are a dead end no matter which dynasty or country you are in."
"But in the end, our emperor only fined him three years' salary and was demoted two levels in a row, but he is still serving as an errand in front of the emperor. Isn't this strange?" Du Ruotong finished speaking seriously in a low voice, and saw a smile on Gong Yueyue's face. A weird smile. "What are you laughing at?"
Gong Yueyue firmly believed in and hated Tong Xian's crime of bullying the people. But when it came to saying that he collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country, she had reservations. It's not that she didn't believe it at all, but she always felt that with Tong Xian's condition, it was impossible to There is no need to do such a bloody thing. For example, the reason why an employee changes jobs is either for money or for power. Tong Xian's current treatment in the country has reached the peak he can reach. What can the enemy country give him? ?
Although Gong Yueyue thought so in her heart, she would not be stupid enough to say it in front of Du Ruotong. Since ancient times, many injustices have been caused by an inadvertent gossip. In any case, Du Ruotong's eldest brother-in-law Pan Zhuqing is like this The prosecutor in a treason case. Even if she still believed in Du Ruotong, she had to be wary of the truth that walls have ears. After all, this was Pan Zhuqing's territory.
After thinking for a moment, Gong Yueyue said calmly: "It seems that the emperor really loves Tong Xian. So what does your eldest brother say, let's just forget it? It's impossible not to have an explanation."
"The eldest brother was also confused at first. But the eunuch who came back with Xue Jiu read out the imperial edict and said that he would serve as the supervisor of the army, so the eldest brother had nothing to say."
Upon hearing this, Gong Yueyue's heart froze: "Supervisor? Did you hear that right?"
"You heard that right." Du Ruotong replied decisively, and then he saw the faint smile on Gong Yueyue's lips. "Why are you laughing again?"
Gong Yueyue sighed without trace: "You are wrong, I am not smiling..." Even if it is really a smile, it is just a bitter smile.
Du Ruotong didn't notice anything strange about Gong Yueyue, but still asked reluctantly: "Then tell me, how can the emperor pardon Tong Xian's death penalty?"
This voice was so familiar that Gong Yueyue didn't need to look back to know that the evil young man was back. She smiled and said flatly to Du Ruotong, "Your husband is really a stinker."
Unexpectedly, when the evil young man entered the room, he did not continue to joke with her with a playful smile. Instead, he walked behind her and said seriously: "You came just in time, I have something to say to you."
Gong Yueyue then turned her head, pointed at her nose and asked: "Me?"
He nodded and replied: "Yes. I'm afraid it's not very convenient here. Come with me."
Du Ruotong quit. From the moment he walked in until now, he didn't even look at himself. "Can't I just listen?"
He directly stretched out his hand and hooked Du Ruotong's neck, pulled her in front of her and kissed her hard: "Madam, help me look out for the wind. If anyone comes in, cough loudly."
Gong Yueyue's face turned green. Why did this evil young man Pan never know how to restrain his shameless behavior... Although Zhao Changyuan had also done this kind of intimate behavior. But at least the pretty boy still knew that he was embarrassed, but this evil young man completely treated others as someone else.
It doesn't exist, even the sound it makes is louder than the average person.
Du Ruotong was satisfied: "Oh, good."
The evil young man led Gong Yueyue towards the back room, pushed open the screen, and entered a small and private study like a cave. "What's so serious?" Gong Yueyue felt a little nervous. She had a vague premonition that the evil young man was very likely.
He wanted to talk to her about Zhao Changyuan.
As expected, the evil young man casually pulled out a chair and sat down, then spoke straight to the point: "Your big white goose has come back."
"Really? When? Where? Why didn't he come to me?" Those years of undercover work were not in vain. At this moment, she naturally showed the shock that a wife who is waiting for her husband to come home should have, her eyes
There was even a little drop of water spilling out of it.
The evil young man raised his eyebrows with disdain on his face: "Stop acting. You can't compare to the second master in being a thief or acting."
Gong Yueyue stood next to the screen, putting on a distressed expression: "Who is acting? Where has the minimum trust between people gone? Am I, Gong Yueyue, the kind of person who is pretending? What if he comes back?
,Would I still let him go?"
The evil young man put on a puzzled expression and said to himself: "He has really never come back? It seems that everything I learned about his whereabouts is all false."
When Gong Yueyue heard this, her original fake excitement immediately turned into real excitement. She pulled up a stool and sat across from him, staring at him and asking: "What did you find out? Do you know the whereabouts of my husband? He is here
Where? Where has he gone?"
The evil young man crossed his arms and leaned back: "Has he come back?"
"Been back." She replied awkwardly in a low voice.
This time, the evil master looked distressed: "Where has the most basic honesty between people gone?"
Gong Yueyue didn't want to leak any information about Zhao Changyuan, but the bait thrown by the evil young master was too attractive to her. She wanted to know the whereabouts of Zhao Changyuan so much that even a few words would be good. "Hey, second young master, please don't talk to me.
I am a pretentious little girl with ordinary knowledge. I was wrong and I shouldn’t have lied to you. However, my husband is so mysterious every time he comes back that I dare not tell anyone. By the way, do you really know his whereabouts?
Tell me quickly."
The evil young man couldn't bear to show off to her, so he stopped playing tricks and went straight to the point: "Tell me first, does he have any strange feelings every time he comes back to see you?"
Gong Yueyue lowered her head and recalled it carefully, then raised her head and said hesitantly: "It seems to be very ordinary, almost the same as before. It's just..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that I think he seems to be very worried and gets angry easily." Last time, because of her purely joking complaints, Zhao Changyuan bit her so hard that she grimaced. Now that she thinks about it, she is still a little scared. He was like that at that time.
The expression and state were indeed different from the way they used to be when the two of them were fighting around.
The evil young man sat up straight and looked at her and said, "Don't you find it strange? He wanted to kill you as soon as he came back, but in the blink of an eye, the day you gave birth, he came back to take care of you in every possible way."
Gong Yueyue glanced at him and didn't bother to ask him how he knew these details. Then, he said helplessly: "Of course it feels strange, but I can't move now. What can I do?"
"Actually, I found him when he sneaked back that night after he injured Yin Liang. We chased him for several miles and even had a fight." Thinking of the scene that night, the evil young man couldn't help but smile and shook his head. "But then I almost almost
He rescued me after I fell off a cliff. From then on, I started to trace his whereabouts."
"Did you find anything?"
He nodded, but there seemed to be some hesitation on his face: "I'm not sure if it has something to do with him. That's why I want to discuss it with you."
"Yeah, I'm all ears."
"First of all, I can confirm one thing now, that is, the big white goose is indeed in the desert Mingjiao. This news is absolutely reliable."
The other party said decisively and categorically, and she, Gong Yueyue, was also an activist: "Then, let's go rescue him!"
The evil young man laughed dryly and asked, "Let me ask you, do you know the desert?"
"I... heard about it." Not only had she heard about it, she had actually visited the desert herself. But she drove there with Jiang Haoran in the 1st century. She couldn't explain these facts clearly to the bad boy.
What's more, after thousands of years, the local geography has undergone earth-shaking changes. It's better to treat it as if you haven't been there before.
The evil young man smiled again and asked, "Then do you know what kind of sect Mingjiao is?"
"I... don't know very well." She could tell by thinking with her toes that the name of the leader of the Ming Cult would not be such a coincidence. It happens to be Zhang Wuji. "But aren't you from the Ming Cult? You know."
"My master is indeed, but I am not. I have never been to the Mingjiao General Forum even once." The evil young man put on a smile and said seriously: "The most taboo thing about starting a war is blindness. Our understanding of the enemy is so shallow. If
Acting rashly will not only lead to death, but also harm the big white goose... Moreover, since the big white goose has come back, what does that mean?"
Gong Yueyue thought briefly and excitedly came up with the answer: "No one restricts his freedom!"
"That's it. Even if you are free, you still have to go back. This is even more strange."
"Is there someone or something there that tied him down?" Gong Yueyue stood up and paced back and forth in the small room. It seemed that only in this way could her mind become clearer.
Some.
"It's very possible, maybe it's the little wife." The evil young man followed her words and made a random joke, wanting to see what kind of reaction this ghost girl Gong Yueyue would have. As a result, the other party seemed to have not heard at all, and still looked at him.
He was pacing back and forth as calmly as a pendulum in front of his eyes. He raised his eyebrows in disbelief and asked, "You don't actually jump?" (To be continued)
