Chapter 41 "One Heart"
Chapter 41 "One Heart"
When night fell, Lu Zhong and others came to the Junzi Zuijiu Building.Yu Liang knew Zhang Changqing's drinking habits, so the time was right. When they arrived, Zhang Changqing was drinking.
Yu Liang is a very thoughtful person, so he couldn't ask Zhang Changqing for news in person.During this trip to the restaurant, apart from him and Lu Zhong, there were also servants from Duke Ning's mansion.
After arriving at the restaurant, Yu Liang ordered the servant to take a seat diagonally opposite Zhang Changqing, while he and Lu Zhong sat in the private room on the second floor.
Zhang Changqing didn't have much money, so he ordered two jugs of inferior wine as usual.According to Yu Liang's previous instructions, the servant of the Hou's mansion deliberately sat down beside Zhang Changqing, and graciously treated him to a few jugs of good wine.
For an alcoholic, everyone in the liquor store is a friend, and those who can buy him a drink are even more friends.After coming and going, Zhang Changqing regarded the servants of Duke Ning's mansion as friends.The two talked and laughed happily while drinking.
Zhang Changqing's drinking capacity is not high, and he was already drunk after a few pots of wine.The boy could easily get the words out of his mouth. Of course, the boy's question was very tactful. He didn't specifically ask about the information of the soldiers in the household department, but pretended to ask Zhang Changqing's occupation casually, and he knew about this topic. During his vacation time, he inquired about the rotation information of the soldiers in the household department by the way.
He does not mean that.Of course, Zhang Changqing would not have thought that his casual remarks would provide Lu Zhong with clues to steal Ku Yin.
After inquiring about the news, Lu Zhong and the others quickly left the Gentleman Drunken Restaurant, and then prepared to carve the key.
The matter of engraving the key was originally planned to be asked by other servants of the Lu Mansion to do it, but when he thought that it would involve murder and silence, if it was not done well, it would bring great rewards.Therefore, Yu Liang decided that it would be more appropriate to go on his own.
Yu Liang handles affairs simply and neatly, never procrastinating.An hour later, he handed the engraved key to Lu Zhong.
Lu Zhong laughed loudly and said, "Brother Yu, you are really good at getting things done so quickly."
"By the way, did the sculptor clean it up?" Lu Zhong couldn't help asking, fearing that someone would catch him in the future.
"Don't worry, he's dead. I don't worry about my work."
The two had a hard time discussing how to sneak into the household department's warehouse.Because the previous steps were arranged seamlessly, Lu Zhong easily sneaked into the warehouse and got 100 million taels of silver notes.
The third day happened to be the deadline agreed with Qu Feiqing.
Lu Zhonghuai came to Wanchun Tower with the banknotes in his hands.Concubine Qu is drinking tea leisurely, it seems that she has been waiting for a long time.
"Young Master Lu, you really are a trustworthy person!" Concubine Qu Qing Yingying smiled, her smile was so coquettish and harmless to humans and animals.
After seeing this woman's tricks, Lu Zhong felt that if he looked at her more often, his hair would stand on end and his hands and feet would feel cold.He turned his head away, threw the silver bill on the table, and said impatiently, "This is the money you want!"
Concubine Qu picked up the banknote and hid it in her cuff, said with a smile: "Feiqing really did not underestimate the ability of Mr. Wrong."
"There is no need to say flattery." Lu Zhong gritted his teeth, "I have already given you the money, and I hope you can do what you promised me!"
Concubine Qu smiled and said, "That's natural, just don't worry, Mr. Lu."
In fact, Lu Zhong didn't believe Qu Feiqing's words, but he thought about it carefully. At this moment, he and Qu Feiqing were grasshoppers on the same rope.He has a clue to fall into the hands of a snake, a scorpion, a woman, and the other party also has a clue to be caught by him.
Since Concubine Qu took the official money, her butt would not be clean.If this woman dared to betray him, he would immediately reveal the matter, and at worst, he would be killed.
Lu Zhong said coldly: "You'd better abide by the agreement, otherwise everyone will have a hard time!"
Qu Feiqing said, still smiling like a flower: "Mr. Lu is so arrogant, the little girl was almost frightened. Don't worry, Feiqing is definitely not a person who does not keep his word. "
Concubine Qu planned a lot of painstaking efforts, the purpose of which was the 100 million taels of silver bill.The bank note came from a wrong path, of course she didn't want Lu Zhong to reveal this matter.Because in her heart, no one or anything is more precious than this silver ticket.
"This is the best!" Lu Zhong left after saying a few words.
In the valley of forgetfulness.
Gu Yunjing had already asked about the matter of spring.heart.movement, so she decided not to linger in the valley any longer.Although Wangyougu is happy, there are still more things waiting for her to solve in the imperial city.
After the princess consort bid farewell to Shangguanlan and his wife, she took her entourage back to the capital.
Although Shangguanlan and his wife were reluctant for her to leave, they also knew that it was not appropriate to keep their lover at this time, and after admonishing them, they watched Gu Yunjing and others leave.
If Shangguan Xi has a deep-rooted affection for Gu Yunjing, she would be more reluctant to leave Gu Yunjing than anyone else.But what can I do if I can't bear it anymore, I can't keep the one I love.Shangguan Xiruo originally had a thousand words to say to Gu Yunjing, but because Xiao Muxue was at the side, it was difficult to express her feelings, so at this moment she had mixed feelings in her heart.
Thousands of words can only be reduced to one sentence: take care and have a good journey.
Sorrows of parting welled up in his heart, Shangguan Xiruo had been holding back tears.The moment she saw Gu Yunjing get into the carriage, she finally couldn't help it, and let the tears flow down wantonly.
Shangguan Xiruo's tears could not keep the carriage away from Juechen.Seeing her daughter's heartbroken look, Yu Qingyou shook her head and sighed, patted her shoulder lightly, and said softly: "Xi Ruo, be good, don't cry."
"Mother." Shangguan Xiruo threw herself into her mother's arms.
"Hey, don't cry, don't cry." Yu Qingyou comforted her lovingly.
Looking at the mother and daughter hugging each other, Shang Guanlan didn't know what to say other than shaking his head and sighing.
Gu Yunjing leaned on the carriage, closed her eyes slightly, with a look of melancholy on her elegant face.She didn't fall asleep, she was just thinking about something, and what she was thinking about was about Shangguan Xiruo.
No matter how ignorant Gu Yunjing was about feelings, she could vaguely feel the strange feelings that the junior sister had for her when she returned to the valley this time.At that time, when I was young, I always felt that my junior sister was very close to her and treated her like a sister.But now, Gu Yunjing can no longer think so naively.
Because she clearly saw a strange look in Shangguan Xiruo's eyes.This look contains infatuation, admiration, joy...
In the past, Gu Yunjing probably couldn't see this kind of emotion, but since she fell in love with Xiao Muxue, her heart seemed to become more and more sensitive and rich, and she seemed to be able to feel Shangguan Xiruo's special feelings for her .
Gu Yunjing was very flustered, his feelings for Xiao Muxue were already enough to make him at a loss, but don't add another junior sister.She prayed silently in her heart: Junior Sister, please don't fall in love with me.
Xiao Muxue thought that Gu Yunjing was asleep, afraid that she would be cold, so she took out a cloak from the spare box of the carriage and put it on her.
Feeling the weight of the clothes on her shoulders, Gu Yunjing slowly opened her eyes, fixedly looked at Xiao Muxue, and shook her head lightly: "Your Highness, I am not cold."
Looking at the tangled brows of the son-in-law, Xiao Muxue asked: "Put it on. Is the son-in-law still worried about Tao Ce?" The princess didn't know where Gu Yunjing was worried, she subconsciously thought that the son-in-law was worrying about Tao Ce Things.
Gu Yunjing wanted to open her heart to Xiao Muxue, but the question was, could she open her heart?Little Junior Sister's feelings for her, and her feelings for Xiao Muxue, how can she easily explain clearly.What's more, it also involves the secret of her identity.
Besides concealment, is there a better option?Gu Yunjing lowered her eyes and sighed: "Well, I am quite worried about Tao Ce. Although I got the information from Master, if I want to rescue Tao Ce, I have to think carefully. The enemy behind us is not only Lu Zhong, and Huangfu Yun."
Xiao Muxue also knew that the problems she was facing this time were more serious than before. After thinking for a while, she said: "No matter how difficult it is, as long as we work together to find a solution, we can always solve it. Sometimes the more dangerous the situation we are facing, the more it will test people." perseverance and determination.”
The princess's words undoubtedly gave Gu Yunjing a reassurance. After listening to her, she was relieved a lot, and smiled knowingly: "Work together, we will stand together through thick and thin."
"Don't worry too much, the one who should come can't hide. The journey is far away, so the son-in-law should sleep well." After all, there is still a long way to go to the imperial capital, Xiao Muxue was a little worried about Gu Yunjing's body, and instructed, " Remember to take the medicine given by the queen mother."
"Well, if the princess doesn't remind me, I almost forgot about it." After patting his forehead twice, Gu Yunjing took out a small bottle from his bosom and rubbed the mouth of the bottle, "Not to mention, the effect of this medicine is really good.
Like a child, the son-in-law said obediently, "I'll eat right away."
Probably because she wanted to show a cute side in front of Xiao Muxue too much, Gu Yunjing raised her head, poured the pills into her mouth and drank water to moisten her throat, because she drank too fast, she choked and coughed uncontrollably .
Xiao Muxue patted Gu Yunjing's shoulder lightly, and said softly, "Is the son-in-law feeling better?"
Gu Yunjing nodded, touched his forehead, and said shyly, "I made the princess laugh."
