Days and nights haunted by villains

Gu Yuanzhi was waiting for Jiang Yu to explain the matter in the imperial study room, but he suddenly realized something was wrong when he was halfway through what they said, he jumped off the bed and ran out without even having time to say hello.

Jiang Yu frowned, looked at Gu Ting, but didn't pursue it: "Go and handle the case first, I'll ask Guo Yu to follow and have a look."

Gu Ting was breaking out in a cold sweat, seeing that the other party didn't pursue it, he hurriedly withdrew after agreeing.

After leaving the imperial study, Gu Yuanzhi ran wildly all the way, and after leaving the palace gate, he rode his horse back to Wanping County.

On the road, I also met a man from Bingmasi. When he saw him riding a horse in the middle of the capital, he wanted to go up and stop him.Gu Yuanzhi rushed back in a hurry, unable to take out the token Jiang Yu gave him.

Those soldiers and horses saw that it was the emperor's waist card, they froze in place for a moment, and let him go away with a roll of their eyes.

Back in Wanping County, Gu Yuanzhi threw the horse to the boy at home, and ran into his mother's yard in a hurry.As soon as he entered, he saw a doctor walking out, his face was not very good looking.

Gu Yuanzhi looked at the doctor's face, his heart skipped a beat, he hurried forward and grabbed the doctor's sleeve, not caring about his appearance, he just asked anxiously, "How is mother?"

The Langzhong was startled by Gu Yuanzhi, he gathered his mind and looked at him, and found that this person was slightly similar to the woman he saw just now, and heard that she called her mother, so he knew that the two were mother and son.

"Don't be impatient, Xiao Lang. Your mother is pregnant. It's just that your mother is not in good health. Whether the child can be kept until the day of delivery is up for debate." The doctor tore Gu Yuanzhi's hand off his body. , took a step back to open the distance, and told Gu Yuanzhi about this matter.

Gu Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment, thinking that he was pregnant?Didn't you eat poisonous dumplings?

He looked at the maid who sent the doctor out strangely, and asked, "Dumpling, has mother eaten the dumpling?"

"Grandma wanted to eat it, but the dumpling smelled disgusting, so she spit it out after taking a bite." The servant girl looked at it with some pity, and after she said that she wished Gu Yuanzhi a blessing, she sent the doctor out.

Gu Yuanzhi quickly ran into the house, walked around the screen, and saw his mother leaning on the bed, talking to the maid waiting at the side.

"Mother, are you alright?" Gu Yuanzhi leaned forward, held his mother's hand and looked left and right, seeing that there was nothing serious except his complexion, he was relieved.

"Why are you back? Didn't you spend the holidays with the emperor in the palace?" Seeing Gu Yuanzhi coming, the mother smiled at him and asked a little strangely.

Gu Yuanzhi wanted to tell his mother what happened in the palace, but he was afraid that his mother would not be able to hide the matter and startled the snake, but if he wanted his mother to guard against the maids around him, he had to say this.He thought for a while, glanced at the maid beside him, and ordered: "You take everyone else out."

With Gu Yuanzhi's order, the servant girl saw that the mistress did not object, so she led the others out together.

After all the maidservants went out, Gu Yuanzhi briefly explained the matter in a low voice, and specifically ordered to keep quiet, before he said: "Father already knew about this matter, and he is currently being sent by the emperor to investigate the case. I think what should I do in these two days?" There are results."

"It's so dangerous! If the emperor hadn't thought about the love of the past, our Gu family might be in great trouble." After the mother heard this, she still had some fear on her face, which made Gu Yuanzhi regret telling the matter.

"In short, mother should be more careful about the people around you. Next time, the things you want to send to the palace must not pass through the hands of others." Gu Yuanzhi reminded again. What the doctor said.

"Mother...is she pregnant?" Gu Yuanzhi felt that it was not good for him to ask, but just now when the doctor said that the mother was not in good health and that the child might not be able to be delivered, he was very worried.

"Yes, the doctor said that it's only one month old, and the fetal image is still unstable. Besides, I'm not in good health, so I need to take care of it carefully, otherwise I'm afraid it will be dangerous." The mother put on a smile on her face, looking forward to the baby.

"I'll let my father know about this matter when he comes back. It's just..." Gu Yuanzhi's words got stuck on his lips. He knew that it was not appropriate for him to say such a thing, but he was afraid that Gu Ting would not want a child. Regardless of the mother's safety.

"Just what?" Seeing that Gu Yuanzhi stopped talking, the mother asked a little strangely.

Gu Yuanzhi shook his head, forced a smile, and said, "Son, he just came out of the palace just now, and if he has time to say hello to the emperor in the future, he might have to go back and plead guilty."

"Ouch! This is a big deal, you should go back quickly and ask the emperor for forgiveness." The mother was a little anxious when she heard this, and she thought she was also frightened by the rumors in the past few years.

Gu Yuanzhi really wanted to tell his mother that Jiang Yu would not treat the Gu family as cruelly as the rumors said, and would even be a little tolerant to the Gu family.He really wanted to say that Jiang Yu had been thinking about the love of the past, and would not really disregard the love of the past and attack them.

But looking at his mother's expression, he felt that it was unnecessary to say this to someone who was already scared.Just like Jiang Yu told him well at first, he actually didn't believe it, and he didn't develop a little trust until he saw that the other party was really defending himself.

"The son is going now." Gu Yuanzhi thought, stood up, said something to his mother, and then walked out.

When I went out, I happened to meet Guo Yu who hurriedly followed, Gu Yuanzhi was still a little strange, and asked, "Why are you here? But what's going on in the palace?"

"Oh, what's the matter! It's just that the emperor is worried about what's going on with you, so he specially asked me to come and take a look." Guo Yu sighed, looked into Gu's mansion, and asked, "Is there anything wrong with Lingtang?"

The dumpling was poisonous, and Gu Yuanzhi rushed back in a hurry. After thinking about it carefully, he knew that Gu Yuanzhi was afraid that something might happen to his mother.

Seeing that Guo Yu guessed it, Gu Yuanzhi didn't think it was strange, so he just led the horse towards the palace and told him about the situation.

Guo Yu nodded after hearing this, but he didn't comment on his family affairs. He only talked a little about Jiang Yu's reaction along the way, so that Gu Yuanzhi could be mentally prepared.

In fact, psychological preparation does not need psychological preparation.

Jiang Yu wasn't angry, at most she asked when she went back, thinking there was nothing wrong.

But I didn't expect that when I got there, I saw a soldier and horse commander reporting something to Jiang Yu. When the soldier and horse commander saw Gu Yuanzhi coming, a trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, and he laughed dryly: "Young Master Gu is here..."

"Caomin asks the emperor for his peace." Gu Yuanzhi saw that someone was there, saluted politely, and professed himself politely.

"It's far away, not grassroots." Jiang Yu corrected him on the spot, not taking the commander of soldiers and horses seriously at all.

The commander of the soldiers and horses had come to sue. Seeing that Gu Yuanzhi had come, he thought he could see Jiang Yu punishing him.Unexpectedly, Jiang Yu didn't look like he wanted to punish Gu Yuanzhi at all, and he didn't even mention it at all.

"Cough, Your Majesty, Mr. Gu rode his horse..." The commander of the soldiers and horses coughed lightly and decided to remind Jiang Yu.

Jiang Yu glanced at him, seemingly indifferent, and asked, "I asked him to do something, do you have an opinion?"

The commander of the soldiers and horses was stunned for a moment. Indeed, if the emperor ordered something urgent, the horses could also be ridden within the regulations.

It's just that I don't know what the urgent matter is, but let a person who has no official position do it.

Unexpectedly, the military commander would ask this question, Gu Yuanzhi felt a little guilty, his right thumb kept grinding his index finger and middle finger, and his eyes frequently looked at Jiang Yu.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Jiang Yu's mood improved a lot, and she casually found a reason: "I heard that the nanny is ill, so I asked him to go and report to the palace."

Army commander: ...

Gu Yuanzhi said that although this reason is indeed half-truth, it is too ridiculous to talk about it with the commander of soldiers and horses.

"Your majesty..." The commanding officer twitched the corners of his mouth, but he still planned to remind him that the reason was not good.

Seeing that the commander of the soldiers and horses seemed to want Jiang Yu to punish Gu Yuanzhi, Jiang Yu frowned, his thin lips parted slightly, and said a word: "Get lost."

Just this one word made the commander of soldiers and horses shudder, bowed his head and retreated, turned around and left in a hurry.

Gu Yuanzhi looked at Jiang Yu, opened his lips slightly, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

He came back to apologize, but looking at the other party's attitude, it didn't look like he was going to blame him at all.

"Are you also afraid of such a small matter?" Jiang Yu picked up the imperial pen to mark the memorial, without looking at Gu Yuanzhi, just asked casually.

"It's not a trivial matter, it shouldn't be." Gu Yuanzhi knew that it shouldn't be, even though there were not many pedestrians on the road at that time.

Jiang Yu paused when he was approving the memorial, raised his eyelids slightly to look at Gu Yuanzhi, and clicked his tongue: "Do you mean that I want you to be punished?"

"Yuanzhi...but it's up to the emperor to deal with it." Gu Yuanzhi knew in his heart that he was indeed wrong, and he would not rely on the other party's protection to escape punishment, so he just lowered his head and waited for the other party to say what kind of punishment.

"Then punish you to squeeze my shoulders for me." Jiang Yu looked at Gu Yuanzhi and smiled, seemingly not taking his words seriously at all.

Gu Yuanzhi knew Jiang Yu's personality, so he didn't dare to mention it, so he walked up to hold Jiang Yu's shoulders.

"You are not good at this craft, you need to practice more."

Jiang Yu frowned slightly, her face was full of seriousness, evaluating Gu Yuanzhi's tactics.

Knowing that he was really not good, Gu Yuanzhi wanted to withdraw his hand, so as not to offend the other party.Unexpectedly, before one of the hands was retracted, Jiang Yu held it in place and could not move.

"After punishing you, give me a shoulder squeeze every day." Jiang Yu's laughter echoed in Gu Yuanzhi's ears.

The two were close, and Jiang Yu turned his head to talk like this, which made him even closer.

Gu Yuanzhi felt that the distance between them was really wrong, and he was about to back away immediately, and he stuttered a little: "Yuanzhi, Yuanzhi is really clumsy, this is the only way to go today."

"You really rely on me to favor you, and you are so lawless even to me." Jiang Yu squeezed his hand, then let go of him, and went to criticize the memorial while talking.

Gu Yuanzhi went to the imperial case and began to grind his ink, he didn't dare to look up at Jiang Yu, for fear that the other party would make another request.

Maybe it was because of the trouble with Gu Yuanzhi just now, but Jiang Yu didn't make any other demands this time, and just quietly approved piles of memorials on the imperial case.

However, when it was getting late and Gu Yuanzhi was about to go back, he heard Jiang Yu make a new request.

"During the Chinese New Year, don't forget to come to the palace."
