My name is Chang An, your name is Gu Li
Chapter 379 Queen Wang and the Wooden Sign
Gu Li narrowed his eyes slightly at this time, and Chang An said at this time: "Is this slander?"
The woman quickly said, "Yes, it was us, mother and daughter, who slandered him."
The county magistrate slammed the gavel and said, "How dare you! You dare to slander an official of the imperial court. This is a serious crime! Someone, come here——"
"Take the mother and daughter to the prison and interrogate them another day! As for the coachman of Duke Kangguo, he is innocent!"
At this time, Li Linfu and Wu Zhong were afraid that they would be implicated, so they hurried away and returned to the carriage.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Wu Zhong asked, "What's going on? Didn't you say that this method would definitely work? Now Chang Yonghe is biting back. If the mother and daughter give us away under heavy punishment, we'll be finished!"
"This... Chang An is not acting in accordance with ethics and morals at all. This is beyond my expectations."
"Now the impeachment has failed, and even the use of charges to suppress Chang Yonghe has failed. If this person is not removed, various future plans will be difficult to implement, and even you and I will be in trouble!" Wu Zhong cursed.
Li Linfu sighed and said, "Forget it. I will go find Yuwen Zhongcheng later and discuss it with him."
"Humph......"
......
After coming out of the government office, the driver knelt in front of Chang An, and Chang An had to help him up again: "Didn't I tell you? We don't do things like kneeling."
"My lord, if you hadn't spoken for me today, I would have been stigmatized and would have brought trouble upon you and your wife!" the driver cried and snotted, ready to pounce on him.
"Alright, alright, stop talking about these useless things." Chang An pushed him away and said, "Go drive our carriage over here. Can't you see that Mother Gu is still here? Do you dare to let Mother Gu stand here like this?"
The driver nodded and bowed, saying, "Okay, my Lord and Madam, please wait for me. I will bring the carriage to you even if I have to fly."
Gu Li was amused by him and waved his hand, saying, "Go quickly, don't be like your Lord, who only knows how to talk nonsense."
"Yes, little one, go right here."
The driver ran away immediately. At this time, Chang Qi came up and said, "Sir, shall I go now?"
"Go now? Can we make it in time for dinner?" Chang An asked with a frown.
Chang Qi raised her head, looked at the sky, and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, it should be OK."
At this time, Chang Qi also came up, looking at Chang An with a pair of eyes, as if he wanted to say something. At this time, Chang Qi patted him gently and said, "You don't have to go, just follow and protect the young master and Sanniang."
Hearing her sister's words, sister Chang Qi nodded and retreated. At this time, Chang Qi found a secret place and disappeared from Chang An's sight.
At this time, the coachman also came quickly with the carriage. Chang An and Gu Li got on the carriage and took Chang Qi home.
After Gu Li sat in the car, he asked, "What's wrong, Chang Lang, what do you want Sister Qi to do?"
"Find someone." Chang An answered simply.
"Looking for someone? Looking for someone to ask Sister Qi to go?"
Gu Li obviously didn't believe it. The two maids in the house, one looked gentle and intellectual, and the other looked harmless. It seemed normal for them to be embroiderers on weekdays, but if they were asked to do anything other than embroidering, someone would definitely suffer.
Chang An nodded and said, "Mother Gu cannot know about this."
At this time, Gu Li looked at Chang An, gently pulled him, and stopped talking.
After returning home and resting until 2:45 in the afternoon, just as he was about to start eating, Chang Qi stood at the door and knocked. Chang An and Gu Li also looked over:
"found it?"
"Yeah." Chang Qi nodded. Since Gu Li was still in the room, Chang Qi did not explain the details.
Chang An nodded and said, "Don't worry, come find me after dinner."
"Yes, son."
Chang Qi stepped back and returned to her room. At this time, there was a person at her feet with his eyes closed.
......
Wu Qinghui was in her own Bingyue Palace. After listening to Wu Zhong's story about what happened this morning, she seemed a little calm. Seeing Wu Zhong's anxious look, Wu Qinghui slowly spoke:
"If Duke Kangguo couldn't even see through this little trick, then he wouldn't have been able to go straight from being the top scholar to the position of the Crown Prince's third teacher. And it's certainly even more impossible for him to be valued by His Majesty."
Wu Zhong opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. At this time, Wu Qinghui said, "Chang An is an extraordinary person. If we want to get rid of him legitimately, we can only wait for him to reveal his true colors."
"But the only problem is that he can't reveal his true identity." Wu Zhong said at this time: "It's impossible for him to really kidnap him, right?"
"Are you crazy?" Wu Qinghui frowned, "Who do you want to kidnap? Duke Kangguo or Lady Zichuan?"
Wu Zhong was speechless instantly, because no matter who he tied up, he would still be the one to die in the end. Suddenly, the entire Bingyue Palace fell silent, but the silence was soon broken.
"Your Highness, there is a letter from Yuwen Zhongcheng, which he said is for you." The palace maid walked in with a letter in her hand and said.
"How did the letter get in?" Wu Qinghui raised his eyebrows and asked.
"It was sent by a father-in-law."
"Bring it here." Wu Qinghui waved her hand and asked the palace maid to bring the things over.
Wu Qinghui fanned herself gently with a fan and took the letter from the maid. The maid had opened the envelope when she handed it to her, so Wu Qinghui had no difficulty taking it out.
The content of the letter was very brief, with only one sentence: In the Queen's palace, there is a talisman.
After reading it, Wu Qinghui smiled and said, "Isn't this another one I made?"
But after thinking about it carefully, he felt a little strange: "Even though Duke Kangguo helped her escape the disaster, she actually dared to have another one. Is she crazy about having a child?"
Wu Zhong looked at Wu Qinghui talking to herself and asked curiously, "Sister, what's wrong?"
"Yuwen Zhongcheng wrote to say that Queen Wang still has a wooden sign," Wu Qinghui said.
"Does Queen Wang still have a wooden sign? Didn't she only make one?" Wu Zhong frowned slightly at this time, "Could it be that she made one in the past few days?"
Wu Qinghui did not comment, because she herself did not know. She pondered for a moment, then asked: "But how did Yuwen Rong know? Does he have someone he knows in the palace?"
"There should be some. Almost all the officials in the court now have some connections with the eunuchs in the palace, and Eunuch Cheng and Eunuch Gao are even worse than them." Wu Zhong said.
"Who is Yuwen Rong close to?" Wu Qinghui asked again. After seeing the envelope, she began to have some doubts about Yuwen Rong. In this situation, the worst thing to do is to act without thinking.
What if it’s a trap?
"Yuwen Rong is closer now, so he is on Queen Wang's side. After all, it was Eunuch Gao and Queen Wang who helped Yuwen Rong to ascend to the throne." Wu Zhong said.
Wu Qinghui began to think again at this time. Although the ministers in the court were protecting Queen Wang, some of the eunuchs under her command did not want to follow her anymore.
In this situation, it is not surprising that someone would do such a thing. But Wu Qinghui was not at ease. At this time, another palace maid came in and said:
"Your Highness, there is a eunuch who wants to see you."
"Whose father-in-law?"
"The father-in-law from Queen Wang's side."
Wu Qinghui frowned and said, "Let him talk outside and you just pass on the message."
"Yes."
The maid went out, then came back quickly and said, "Your Highness, the eunuch said that he saw the queen holding a sign in her palace yesterday, and there seemed to be some words engraved on it."
At this moment, Wu Qinghui suddenly sat up straighter and began to secretly suspect something.
"Is he gone?"
"Not leaving."
"Then ask him what the brand looks like," said Wu Qinghui.
The maid turned and left again, and when she came back, she said, "Your Highness, he said he couldn't see it clearly, he just knew it was a wooden sign."
Wu Qinghui nodded and said, "Let him go."
At this time, Wu Zhong asked: "What's wrong? Isn't this a great opportunity?"
"It is indeed a great opportunity, but I am afraid it is also an opportunity for misstep." Wu Qinghui said, "It failed last time, so naturally your majesty will not believe it this time."
"Isn't it strange that you said the same thing twice? Unless you saw it with your own eyes, if you still don't find it this time, it will be my fault."
Wu Zhong nodded and asked, "How about that, sister, you pretend to visit and then observe secretly. If you are not sure, you don't have to tell His Majesty. But if you are sure, then Queen Wang will definitely die this time!"
"That doesn't seem to work, because I am only a concubine after all. If I want to see her, I must inform her. If I do that, won't I alert the enemy?" Wu Qinghui was very calm. Although she was young, she had inherited the intrigue.
"Right."
"Where is the monk from before? Is there any news about him?" Wu Qinghui asked at this time.
"Yes, he is hiding in his temple now. I don't know if he has escaped far away." Wu Zhong said.
Wu Qinghui nodded, and then said: "Then go check him out, or bring him here for questioning. This kind of opportunity can be missed, but you can't make a wrong move."
Wu Zhong nodded, stood up, and said, "I will make arrangements today, and I will have someone ask the monk to speak out within the next two days."
After saying that, Wu Zhong walked out.
