Yun Niang arranged the study very elegantly, with the door facing the river and the river facing turned into a large platform. There were no walls or windows, only a gauze covering.
Now Lu Bai lifted up the gauze, lying on the floor with his upper body, his feet hanging on the water, closing his eyes and meditating.
"You're back." Lu Bai didn't open his eyes.
Gu Qinghuan stood next to Lu Bai, looked at the water on the Qinhuai River, and took a deep breath.
Although she is from Gusu, she grew up in the capital, and the Qinhuai River was once a familiar river to her. She never thought that one day she would leave this homeland and water, and it would be more than ten years before she left.
return.
When I came back, I was still completely different.
When entering the water pass, she was distracted by the carriage and never took a good look at the Qinhuai River.
Now I finally have the chance.
She looked at the scattered sunlight on the river, the boats passing by, and the wandering boats, all filled with memories of her youth.
At that time, she was well-known in Beijing, and she was full of energy. She thought that she would be carefree, happy and contented in her future life. What she wanted was to be a good wife, to take care of her husband and raise her children.
Everything has changed now.
Only the waves of the Qinhuai River are still so beautiful.
Lu Bai opened his eyes and looked up at Gu Qinghuan, but what came into his eyes was the ankle standing straight in front of him.
Lu Bai reached out and grabbed her ankle.
"Go!" Gu Qinghuan broke away and reminded him, "Now everyone in the capital and the entire Qinhuai River can see it."
Their relationship cannot be known to any outsiders.
"Okay." Lu Bai let go of his hand angrily, and suddenly an idea came to his mind.
Since drinking and singing can build a personal realm, and can affect the real world after being disguised, what about Lu Bai forging a wall?
It's not a wall either.
That is, the sun can still shine in, and the outside can still be seen from inside, but people outside cannot see the scene inside.
Lu Bai thought he could give it a try.
He just closed his eyes and meditated, just delving into his field, but now he just has another research direction.
But not now.
Lu Bai was still lying on the ground, looking up at Gu Qinghuan, "Why does the Queen Mother ask you to enter the palace?"
As for the deep love between sisters, it should have been shown when Gu Qinghuan died, instead of being remembered only at the gate of the city.
Gu Qinghuan threw a book in his hand to Lu Bai, "Sister-the Queen Mother has privately asked you to investigate two cases."
Gu Qinghuan sat next to Lu Bai and looked at the Qinhuai River, "One case is a case of a demon book. This book is the demon book. You can read it. You only need to find out who did the case. There is no need to arrest the person.
.”
Lu Bai took the booklet over, held it up to his face and flipped through it. Lu Qinghuan knew that Lu Bai struggled to read and was used to reading from left to right and sideways, so he roughly recounted the contents of the case.
Lu Bai was happy after hearing this. He put the book aside and said, "If you ask me to arrest you in this case, I may not even be able to arrest you."
Since ancient times, when it comes to the throne and the prince, the water here has been much deeper.
Gu Qinghuan agreed, "This booklet is quite unpredictable."
But it was just a matter for Lu Bai to check. "If you really can't find it, you can't find it." Gu Qinghuan said.
Sooner or later the true purpose of the booklet will come to light.
Check it out now just to be prepared in advance.
"This second case is what the Queen Mother urgently wants you to investigate." Gu Qinghuan took out a piece of paper from his arms and briefly wrote the facts of the case, "This is a case of demonic rumors, and the owner of the case is named Liu Yan. He
There is a daughter named Liu Cuilian who entered the palace as a maid more than 20 years ago. Now this person appears out of thin air and says that the Queen Mother has robbed his daughter’s son——"
Lu Bai was stunned and put down the note, "The Queen Mother took away his daughter's son? The Queen Mother only has one son——"
Gu Qinghuan nodded.
"Hey!" Lu Bai flicked the paper and said, "This case is deeper."
But he is interested.
Lu Bai sat up and asked Gu Qinghuan, "Is the Emperor the son of the Queen Mother?"
Gu Qing smiled happily, tucked her wind-blown hair behind her ears, and asked, "Is this important?"
Lu Bai understood that this was not important.
No matter whose son the emperor is, he can only be the son of the Queen Mother.
But what Gu Qinghuan said is very thought-provoking.
"Where is Liu Yan now?" Lu Bai asked.
"I'm locked up in the factory guard's cell with good food and drink. The Queen Mother doesn't know where exactly I am. The Emperor is very strict about his mouth." Gu Qinghuan said.
Lu Bai understood immediately that the water inside was also very deep.
"Where's Liu Cuilian?" Lu Bai asked but felt that he was doing something unnecessary. Liu Cuilian must be dead.
In the palace compound where intrigues are brewing, Liu Cuilian is a time bomb, and she will definitely not survive.
"She's dead." Gu Qinghuan's answer was as expected.
But what Gu Qinghuan said next shocked Lu Bai, "When the Queen Mother asked you to find out who was behind Liu Yan, you also wanted to find out the cause of Liu Cuilian's death."
"What!" Lu Bai opened his eyes wide, "Liu Cuilian is not the Queen Mother - click -"
He made a gesture on his neck.
Gu Qinghuan rolled his eyes, "The current Queen Luo's mother is also a palace maid beside the Queen Mother. Although this palace lady has a status due to her noble son, her status is too low after all and she is not qualified to raise a prince, so King Luo is the queen.
Raised, the Queen has thought about killing King Luo’s mother?”
The queen must be the queen mother after the emperor's death, regardless of whether the son is his biological son or not.
This is the status of the aunt.
Therefore, the Queen Mother had no reason to kill Liu Cuilian in the first place, especially since Liu Cuilian was born as a commoner and her natal family had no power. If the Queen Mother wanted to control her, she had many ways and there was no need to kill her.
In other words, the Queen Mother killed Liu Cuilian, which was an insult to the Queen Mother.
"Strange, who killed Liu Cuilian?" Lu Bai asked.
Gu Qinghuan said that this is what Lu Bai wants to investigate.
The key point is that this case is almost 20 years old and it is not easy to investigate. "But you must find it. This is very important."
Lu Bai understood.
This is of course very important, as it relates to whether the emperor will misunderstand that it was the Queen Mother who killed his mother.
"Okay, I understand, but -" Lu Bai looked at Gu Qinghuan and smiled bitterly, "I am now the envoy of Nanzhen, I am afraid I don't have the right to investigate this case, right?"
Gu Qinghuan had expected it.
She took out a waist badge from her arms and threw it to Lu Bai, "This is the Queen Mother's token. Seeing the token is like seeing a person. Generally, no one dares to stop you."
"Okay!"
Lu Bai took the token and then inoculated Gu Qinghuan, "The person behind Liu Yan is easy to find out, but Li Cuilian's death was more than 20 years ago. I can't guarantee that the murderer can be caught."
"It's Liu Cuilian!" Gu Qinghuan corrected him.
However, she also knows that these two cases are very difficult, "Just a few clues will be enough, don't worry so much."
If it weren't for the Queen Mother's disgrace, Gu Qinghuan wouldn't have wanted Lu Bai to take on these two cases.
"Okay, as long as you say this, it will be done." Lu Bai stood up straight, "I will go to Jinyiwei to report first tomorrow, and I will slowly investigate these two cases."
