Lord, your grass jelly has slipped away again [Transmigration Book]

Hearing these words, Ye Zi's heart ached, and his eye sockets felt slightly hot.He blinked and changed the subject: "How is the interrogation going today, did Emperor Jinghe explain it?"

Gu Yan glanced at him reproachfully, and said, "It's dinner, what business are you talking about?"

Ye Zi could only shut up obediently.

Gu Yan fed him the porridge, and asked someone to clean up the porridge bowl before sitting back in front of the bed: "Most of the people arrested have already confessed, and there are a few who are stubborn, I guess at least they won't last until tomorrow In the evening, according to the confession, I sent someone to search for some evidence, and plan to present it to Emperor Jinghe three days later."

Ye Zi thought for a while and said, "Naga Xiedan..."

"I met him today." Gu Yan picked up his outer robe and helped Ye Zi put it on, and said in a gentle voice, "Jia Xie is an envoy and also the prince of the Northern Man. Although he is temporarily under house arrest, he is doing well. It's a little bit like being under the fence."

Gu Yan carefully buttoned his coat: "I asked people to deduct their food and clothing expenses, and replaced three meals with one meal. I also changed a batch of guards at the post house, and asked the servants to 'take care' of them."

"...Let them suffer more, lest Emperor Jinghe become suspicious."

Ye Zi was stunned for a moment, and immediately came back to his senses.

This person was not afraid that Emperor Jinghe would become suspicious, he was clearly taking revenge on Jia Xiedan for implicating him in prison.

But after hearing what Gu Yan said, Ye Zi felt a little relieved: "That's good, at least there is an explanation."

Gu Yan shook his head: "It's not enough."

Ye Zi looked at him suspiciously.

Gu Yandao: "Most of the people I can catch now are peripheral people. Although they are related to this matter, they are not the core figures."

Gu Yan said: "Emperor Jinghe is not stupid, I can't deal with him with a few young men."

Ye Zi immediately reacted.

In the original book, once the collusion with the enemy and treason were exposed, Emperor Jinghe immediately sent people to investigate.At that time, the person in charge of the investigation was the third prince Gu Xing.

The difference is that Gu Xun has ample time limit for investigation.It took him three full months to capture all the officials involved in the affair.Moreover, in order to catch the core figure, it was also a lot of pain.

But Gu Yan only has three days now.

Ye Zi thought about it, and asked tentatively, "Do you know who that person is?"

"I know." Gu Yan tidied Ye Zi's clothes, and said frankly, "Pei Yuanzhi, the imperial censor Zhongcheng."

Gu Yandao: "Pei Yuanzhi is the former department of Duke Protector Wen Shuhou, and he is also a military advisor. He followed Wen Shuhou on the battlefield for many years, and later Wen Shuhou relinquished his military power and was conferred the title of Duke. It has been more than twenty years since I joined Zhongcheng."

"Pei Yuanzhi is ambitious and insatiably greedy, and he is not satisfied with the status of Yushitai." Gu Yan sneered, "The northern barbarians only gave him some benefits, but that person turned against him and betrayed his country for glory. It's really ridiculous."

Ye Zi frowned.

Pei Yuanzhi was in a high position, even Gu Yan couldn't imprison him without evidence, let alone extract a confession by torture.

Without evidence, no one can shoot him.

Gu Yan raised his hand and gently stroked Ye Zi's eyebrows: "Don't worry, I've already made up my mind."

Ye Zi held his hand: "What should I do?"

Gu Yan leaned over and whispered something in Ye Zi's ear.

Ye Zi was stunned, and hesitated, "Would it be too risky, in case something goes wrong..."

"Azi," Gu Yan lowered his head and looked deeply into his eyes, "You are worried about me."

Ye Zi avoided his gaze.

Gu Yan raised his face with his hand, and asked in a low voice, "Azi, is there something on your mind?"

Ye Zi didn't answer.

Gu Yan was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it now, I won't force you. When you are willing to say it, you can come to me at any time."

"I still have some confessions and files to sort out. I should be staying in the study tonight. You should stay in the room and rest obediently. I will accompany you well when things are done here."

After Gu Yan explained, he left the bedroom.

The room fell silent again, Ye Zi sighed, and lay back on the bed with his head up.

Before he came back, he was already prepared to question Gu Yan, and he wanted to ask him if there was another person in his heart, and what did he think of him.But those words came to his lips, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what.

Gu Yan was so kind to him that he didn't even dare to mention it again.

He didn't dare to think, what would Gu Yan's reaction be if he knew that he already knew about this matter?

Ye Zi felt that she seemed to have entered into a situation of two contradictions, one was brooding over the past, the other was greedy for the present.

If he didn't ask anything and pretended that nothing happened today, would he and Gu Yan be able to go on like this forever.

Will Gu Yan treat him as before, even better than now?

Ye Zi was thinking wildly, rolling on the bed with the quilt in his arms, howling, "Ah, why are you so useless, should you ask or not!"

A ray of light flashed across the room, and Ye Zi turned back into a little green grass and rolled down from the quilt.Ye Zi lay on his back on the soft bed, staring blankly at the wooden beam above his head.

After a while, he suddenly sat up.

The little green grass sat on the bed, its slender leaves stretched out, and two stems extended from under the leaves, gently shaking the few leaves beside the flower spikes.

Every time I dialed a piece, I still said to myself: "Ask him, don't ask him, ask him, don't ask him..."

On the other side, Gu Yan went back to the study, where Si Wei had been waiting there early in the morning.

Gu Yan closed the door and sat down beside the table: "Tell me, what did you find?"

Si Wei said: "Wangfei seems to be very careful about her whereabouts today, only someone saw him going to a restaurant for dinner with Yu Wang's son Xiao Min, the others have not been found yet."

Gu Yan said coldly: "I asked you to follow him. It doesn't matter if you lost him. I asked you to find out where he went today, and told me that I couldn't find it. What do I need you for?"

Si Wei landed on one knee: "Master, atonement."

"Forget it." Gu Yan closed his eyes and ordered, "Continue to investigate, I don't believe in the big city of Chang'an, no one saw where he went or what he did today."

Si Wei was silent for a while, and replied in a low voice: "...Yes."

Gu Yan glanced at him: "Why, you are not doing well, and I have wronged you by scolding you?"

Si Wei bit his lower lip, and couldn't help but said: "Master, it was you who told the shadow guard not to follow too closely, so as not to be discovered by the princess and think that you were watching him. Most of the shadow guards are very familiar with them. It is really..."

He paused for a moment, then hesitated: "...It's really difficult for others."

Gu Yan was momentarily at a loss for words.

He coughed lightly, and said with a straight face: "It's not difficult. What do I ask you for? With so many people under your command, you can always find a few who can handle this job. I don't have to pursue today's matter, just give it to me If the order is found out, I will be rewarded if the matter is completed, should this work?"

Si Wei responded happily: "Yes, this subordinate will do it now."

After sending Si Wei away, Gu Yan opened the file and began to read it carefully.

The three-day time limit is coming soon.

During these three days, Prince Rui, who had been idle for several years, resorted to thunderous tactics for the first time, quickly arrested all the officials involved in the case, and presented all the evidence to Emperor Jinghe.

Jing and Emperor Long Yan Dayue rewarded Gu Yan for his good life, and even left him in the palace for a meal together for the first time.

The matter seemed to pass like this, only Ye Zi knew that the real collaborators and traitors had not been caught yet, and this matter was not over yet.In the past few days, he stayed obediently in the palace and did not interfere with Gu Yan's investigation. If his predictions were correct, tonight would be the time for Gu Yan to act.

Three days ago, Gu Yan had told him the plan.

They couldn't find evidence of the man's fornication and treason, so they could only create evidence by themselves.

Gu Yan's solution was to arrange for the northern barbarians to contact Pei Yuanzhi, forcing Pei Yuanzhi to be unable to restrain himself and show his feet.

In the past few days, Gu Yan has made great efforts to investigate the treasonous affair, deliberately tried the officials involved in the case, threatened and lured, and exerted all kinds of pressure, all in order to make Pei Yuanzhi feel nervous.His strings have been broken for too long, and when Gu Yan presents the evidence to Emperor Jinghe to close the case, he will definitely relax.

At this time, let Jia Xie Shan deliberately arrange a northern barbarian to pretend to be the person who delivered the news.

Once Pei Yuanzhi came to meet him, Gu Yan immediately arranged for his men to capture him.

Ye Zi waited anxiously in the palace until late at night when the news finally came from the palace.

Gu Yan was injured.

Ye Zi didn't care about other things, and hurried into the palace.Gu Yan has been led to a side hall.

Ye Zi followed the eunuch who sent the message into the main hall. Emperor Jinghe was sitting in the hall, and a group of palace people stood on both sides.The inner hall was blocked by layers of curtains, Ye Zi took a look inside and could only see some blood-stained cloth thrown on the ground.

Ye Zi's face turned pale, and she was about to kneel down to salute Emperor Jinghe, but Emperor Jinghe waved his hand and avoided his salute: "Yan'er was injured, I know you must be worried, so I sent someone to look for you. The imperial doctor is inside Treat Yan'er, don't worry, nothing will happen."

Ye Zi's eyes moved slightly, and she replied in a low voice, "Yes."

Emperor Jinghe seemed to be a little surprised, and said tiredly: "I was careless today, I shouldn't insist on interrogating Pei Yuanzhi personally. I didn't expect that person to be arrested, but he still risked his life to die with me. Fortunately, Yan My son blocked that sword for me, otherwise..."

He didn't say any more, just closed his eyes and meditated.

After a while, several imperial physicians came out from the inner hall.

Emperor Jinghe asked, "How is King Rui?"

One of the imperial physicians said: "Returning to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Rui is as blessed as the sky. Although the sword pierced deeply, fortunately it did not hurt the heart. It should be fine to rest for a while."

Emperor Jinghe asked the imperial physician some precautions for recuperation, ordered Gu Yan to recuperate well in the palace for the past few months, and asked Ye Zi to take good care of him.After finishing the order, Emperor Jinghe drove back to the palace, and Ye Zi was finally able to enter the inner hall.

In the inner hall, Gu Yan had already woken up.Bandages were wrapped around his waist and abdomen, and he turned his head to look at Ye Zi, as if he wanted to sit up.

Ye Zi quickly stepped forward to help him: "Don't move around."

There was a slight smile on Gu Yan's pale face, and he said indifferently: "They are making a fuss out of a molehill, this little injury is nothing, don't worry."

Ye Zi didn't say anything more, took out his outer robe and put it on Gu Yan's body, and said in a low voice, "I'll take you back home."

Ye Zi helped Gu Yan into the carriage of Prince Rui's residence.

Gu Yan touched the wound while walking, his face turned pale from the pain, and laughed at himself: "This body is really not as good as before, it's just a small hole, and I almost can't even walk."

Ye Zi poured a glass of warm water and handed it to him, calmly said: "Pei Yuanzhi is just a civil servant, even if he knows a few tricks, it is incomparable with the guards of the Ouchi, let alone break through layers of guards and assassinate Emperor Jinghe. What's more, I don't think there is any Ouchi guard who is your opponent."

Ye Zi raised his eyes to look at him: "Is it because you have been too leisurely recently that you have to be stabbed twice to be happy?"
