Early the next morning, Xu Yuanqing was woken up by Zuo Yue's loud howling. This boy hadn't been on the house for three days. He was about to fuck his shoes and beat someone up, when he saw the child jumping happily, "Your Majesty! Mr. Gu has accepted me as an apprentice!"!"

The child's face is full of brilliance, like a sunflower facing the sun.

Xu Yuanqing withdrew his hand to take out his shoes. Yesterday's plan changed. He met Xiang Changyuan and went to see the lanterns. He forgot to ask Gu Sanzhi to meet Xiang Changning. Looking at the thick dark circles under the eyes of this kid, he probably took advantage of it.No curfew, played all night, and played a master.

He moved back, changed into a comfortable position and huddled under the blanket, yawning, ready to listen to his speech.

Zuo Yue asked Xu Doudou to make tea, and sat on the thick blanket beside the bed, happily telling the story of last night, "Talk about last night..."

With an old-fashioned beginning, the story is clichéd but interesting.

Xu Yuanqing gave them the money last night, and Xu Doudou went to play around, getting carried away with it, until he saw Yang's Bridge, he suddenly remembered the business, looked anxiously, and found that the people at both ends of the bridge were the two people who should meet here.

Gu Sanzhi couldn't see, and was pushed forward by people, but Xiang Changning was stuck at the head of the bridge, looking at the people passing by on the bridge, as if hesitating to get on, Zuo Yue moved forward while watching, praying to ChangningMust go up.

"Sorry." Gu Sanzhi apologized all the way, but was bumped back and forth.

He is not completely blind, he can still see some phantoms. After coming to the capital, he set up a fortune-telling stall during the day to make a living, and went to the ruined temple at night to stay overnight. After Xu Yuanqing brought him into Xu's mansion, he seldom went out. I wanted to see it today.The capital is prosperous, and he also knows that it is inconvenient for him to just stand on the sidelines and avoid the crowds, but he underestimates the large number of people on the Lantern Festival, and if he doesn't pay attention, he will be squeezed into the crowd.clue.

Relying on the sound of gurgling water around, it is going upward again, so guess it is on the bridge.

"Sorry." Gu Sanzhi was at a loss, trying to move to the side but was caught in the middle by people on the left and right.

The sound of a child crying, Gu Sanzhi paused for a moment, and then he heard an adult yelling loudly, "Get out of the way!"

The voice was so noisy that he couldn't tell where it came from, and he didn't know where to turn for a moment in a panic. The surroundings became chaotic, and his heart felt like a huge stone falling, extremely anxious and helpless.

"careful."

When he was at a loss, he took him away with one hand, and he was relieved instantly. He felt that there were fewer people around him, and there was no one on the right side. He must have reached the edge of the bridge.It also disappeared, and the lively environment was restored.

He knew that someone had saved him, and just as he was about to thank him, he smelled a familiar smell and was taken aback.

"To the girl?"

"Mr. Gu?"

With the same voice, when Zuo Yue arrived, he saw both of them had incredulous expressions, and immediately called out each other, his face was blank, did they know each other?

Gu Sanzhi's eyesight is bad, but his sense of smell and hearing are much more sensitive. Her voice can't be forgotten, and he was sure it was really her. The fate is so wonderful that they met on the reunion day, and the corners of their mouths couldn't stop twitching.

Xiang Changning looked up at him slightly, as if seeing him for the first time, he was gentle and kind, surprised and happy, "It's really you?"

"It's me, long time no see." Gu Sanzhi nodded.

The lanterns on the street are brilliant, and people are coming and going on the bridge. It is unbelievable for the two to meet here.

Zuo Yue waited for the two of them to reminisce about the old days, and rushed out at one end, chattering that he wanted to arrange for the two to meet each other, making Xiang Changning and Gu Sanzhi dumbfounded, feeling even more emotional about the wonderful fate.

After hearing this, Xu Yuanqing also found it strange. Xiang Changning once asked him to help find a friend. He said that he met him at the border of Yongzhou, and then separated during the war. She was kind to her and asked him to find someone.

She also specially asked the artist to draw a portrait of her, and sent it together, but the man in the portrait is handsome and handsome, with bright eyes, which is different from Gu Sanzhi whose eyes are often covered with black cloth, so he did not associate the twotogether.

After listening to the story, Xu Yuanqing felt no sleepiness at all, so he simply got up, and was having breakfast before going to Changyuan.

"My lord, why did you get up so early today?"

Xu Yuanqing glanced at Zuo Yue who was standing dozing off, and looked back at his radiant appearance. He was carrying something in his hand, like Liu's glutinous rice cake from Beifang. He put down his chopsticks, "You're pretty early, too."

Talking to Changyuan, he naturally sat opposite him, opened the glutinous rice cakes he brought, and they were still hot, he ran faster because he was afraid of the cold, and put them in front of him.

Xu Yuanqing saw that Zuo Yue was not in good spirits, so he didn't call him. He handed him his chopsticks, and used a spoon to dig out glutinous rice cakes to eat.

"If you like it, I'll bring it for you in the future." Xiang Changyuan took the chopsticks with red ears, and watched him eat with a smile.

"It's really tossing."

No matter whether Xiang Mansion went to Xu Mansion or Beifang, it was not on the way. He made a detour to bring him food and then made a detour to the Ministry of Punishment. He had to get up at least half an hour earlier, and he was the only one who could do it.

Hearing this, Xiang Changyuan looked sincere, "Don't make any fuss."

Xu Yuanqing can't digest well. Eating too much glutinous food is bad for the stomach. After eating some, he puts it down and eats in the long run. He eats slowly, and he really doesn't look stupid when he calms down.

The lanterns in the yard had been lit all night, and Xu Dongdong was taking out the candles one by one. The lanterns swayed in the wind, without the candlelight, they still looked strange and ugly.

After Xiang Changyuan finished eating, he put down his chopsticks, and when he looked up, he fell into his shining eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he panicked.

"Let's go."

Xu Yuanqing got up with a flick of his sleeves, followed him with Xiang Changyuan's eyes, and followed him, thinking that the son was going to send him off, and was about to speak, when he saw the son took a cloak and tied it, as if he was about to go out.

"Aren't you going to take me to the Ministry of Criminal Justice?" Seeing his puzzled expression, Xu Yuanqing answered without waiting for him to open his mouth.

Xiang Changyuan's eyes widened slightly, he opened his mouth and didn't make a sound, thinking in his heart, the prince is really good at predicting things, really amazing.

Xu Yuanqing lowered his eyes and smiled slightly, and walked out while straightening his cloak. He didn't know when the Criminal Department would start work, but in the past, he came to the long-distance in a hurry, left the things he brought, and left. He rarely looked so calm and relaxed today.Also accompany him to have breakfast.

He figured out that he must wait for him to be together.

On the day Xiao Yu'an came, he asked him to go to Xiao Zheng's for his convenience. He was going to meet the woman who poisoned him. Xiang Changyuan is now working in the Ministry of Punishment. It must be logical for him to come to pick him up.

Xu Yuanqing got into the carriage and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Xiang Changyuan rode slowly beside the carriage. The two exchanged a word or two from time to time, and arrived at the Ministry of Punishment in half an hour.

The last time came here was because of Shen Qiwen, it's still unknown whether it was his handwriting this time.

Xiang Changyuan handed over the reins to the clerk, and then led Xu Yuanqing in after showing the sign to the guard.

It was not a formal interrogation, but just a convenient visit, so Xu Yuanqing followed Xiang Changyuan straight to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. The cell did not see sunlight all year round, and was cold and humid. Before entering, Xiang Changyuan specifically told him not to stay for long.

"Um."

Stepping into the cell, a foul-smelling cold came over his face, Xu Yuanqing almost spat out his breakfast, held it back, held his breath before he dared to step in, took small breaths for a while to get used to the mixed smell inside.

Xiang Changyuan looked at him and frowned, and walked beside him carefully, for fear that he would faint if he couldn't bear it.

Seeing his worried face, Xu Yuanqing turned his eyes away in disgust, and quickened his pace, but he arrived at the cell where the woman was detained.

The woman squatted in the corner, and raised her head after hearing the sound of the lock being unlocked. Seeing Xu Yuanqing, her pupils suddenly sank, as if she couldn't believe that he was still alive.

Xiang Changyuan stood guard at the door, and Xu Yuanqing stepped into the cell with his clothes on. The inside was damp and dark, and the breath lived by sucking the vitality of people. People would lose their minds after staying in it for a long time.

"The national teacher can't save you." Xu Yuanqing didn't want to wait for a long time, and said bluntly, "And he didn't even think about saving you."

The woman looked up at him, her eyes sunken, and she was lifeless.

Xu Yuanqing dismantled her expectations, and then asked, "Where did the poison come from?"

The woman didn't say a word, she just stared at him with no expression in her eyes, not even hatred and fear, like a walking dead.

Xu Yuanqing didn't expect her to answer quickly, so he raised his foot closer to her, turned his head and glanced at Xiang Changyuan at the door, seeing that he was concentrating on the outside, he turned his head to look at the woman, his eyes were filled with coldness, he lifted his clothes and squatted down, lookingHer eyes were full of teasing, and she said the name word by word.

The woman's dull eyes gradually became focused, showing uncontrollable horror in her eyes, she bit her white lower lip tightly, and her hands on her knees trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Yuanqing knew that he had guessed correctly, lowered his eyes to hide the sharpness in his eyes, changed into his usual indifferent expression, and stood up with a flick of his sleeves.

The woman suddenly went crazy and crawled towards him, moaning and moaning, with blood and tears streaming from her eyes, pulling at the hem of his clothes with trembling hands, begging all over her face.

People always don't cry when they don't see the coffin. She thought that if the national teacher didn't save her, the person who gave her medicine would save her too. Seeing that Xu Yuanqing knew who it was, she knew that she had lost her life.

Hearing the movement, Xiang Changyuan hurried into the cell, Xu Yuanqing looked down at the begging woman, and stopped Xiang Changyuan expressionlessly.

The woman uttered intermittently, "Save...brother, please...please..." The voice stuttered, as if something was blocked in her throat.

Hearing the sound, Xiang Changyuan frowned, knelt down and pinched her chin to look at her mouth, suddenly startled, the mouth was festered and full of blood.

Xu Yuanqing saw the blood flowing from her mouth, Xiang Changyuan was covered with blood, he pulled her up, looked slightly cold, turned and left without hesitation.

Self-inflicted evil, can't live, Xu Yuanqing is not a living Bodhisattva, can't save the person who wants to kill him.

After leaving the prison, although it was cold and windy outside, it was better than the eerie inside.

With a heavy expression on his face, Xiang Changyuan sent Xu Yuanqing to the gate of the Criminal Department and hurried back.

Xu Yuanqing knew that he had doubts in his heart, so he joined the Ministry of Criminal Justice as a jailer, so that he could detain the woman and find out who was going to harm him. The case has not yet been tried, and Xiang Changyuan is very strict. Today, saw that woman was poisoned and dumb at some point., he is naturally unbelievable.

With his temperament, he must go to find out who is in the prison, and he will probably offend many people.

Xu Yuanqing helped his forehead helplessly, and asked the clerk at the gate to help him in and pass a message to Changyuan, but don't offend someone for helping him, the loss outweighs the gain.

The little official took his money and ran quickly, Xu Yuanqing was waiting for a reply at the door, his face was as painful as a knife being scraped by the cold wind, and he shrank into the fluff.

After a long time, the little official came back in a hurry to answer.

"Tell the son that he listens to the son and will not be reckless."

Xu Yuanqing was relieved after hearing the words, and hurried to the carriage, stretching his hands on the small stove on the carriage to dry, the hot air collided with the cold air, shivering coldly, leaning against the carriage wall to take a nap.

The carriage swayed a few times in a row, Xu Yuanqing came to his senses, and realized that something was wrong, he pushed the window lightly and saw that it was on the way back to Xu's mansion, but the driver was wrong.

Just as he was about to find out, he heard Liu Qian's voice, "My lord, we're here."

Xu Yuanqing rolled his eyes when he heard the sound, pushed open the car door and got out of the car, saw Liu Qian who was wearing a bamboo hat wanted to say a few words but was blocked by the door, he was not easy to attract attention as a spy, so he flung his sleeves and walked into the mansion.

"You still know how to come back!" He complained after entering the door.

Liu Qian took off the hat, and his thin face became even thinner, leaving only flesh and bones, and the ink color under his eyes was thick, Xu Yuanqing's words of reprimand stopped abruptly, and his uneasy feeling turned into a strange sentence, "Why?I won't kill you miserably."

Liu Qian had long been used to his eccentric talk, and automatically ignored his unpleasant words, and walked straight into the yard.

Xu Yuanqing heard someone's voice in the yard from a long distance, and had a vague guess in his heart. He entered the yard and looked at the figure of Xunniang in the house before he could be sure. The closer he was, the clearer he could see the scene inside the house.

Gu Sanzhi was sitting quietly. What made him nervous the most was the person wearing the veiled hat. He couldn't see the face clearly and couldn't distinguish between men and women. It was his hope that he had been suffering from illness for so many years.

Before meeting the person, Xu Yuanqing was not nervous, but when the person was in front of him, he couldn't restrain the random thoughts in his mind, and he thought about all the results before he was diagnosed, and he felt embarrassed.

"My son!"

Xunniang saw him and hurried out to meet him.

Xu Yuanqing hid his hands in his sleeves, forced himself to calm down, and followed her into the room dully.

He was about to salute when he saw the witch doctor stand up, put his hands on his neck, and ordered bluntly, "Speak."

"Huh?" Xu Yuanqing's mind went blank.

"It's Gu poison.

As soon as he made a sound, the witch doctor withdrew his hand and said firmly, "It's Gu poison." Then he turned around and sat back coolly, holding out his hand to serve tea.

Hearing this, the expressions of the people in the room changed, and they calmed down after Xunniang was happy, "Master, is there a solution?"

"have."

Everyone was surprised, Xu Yuanqing took a few steps back and sat down. His feet were slightly bent, and he didn't dare to straighten his back, because he could clearly feel his hands and feet trembling slightly, as well as his heart beating violently, and his throat was swollen.Thousands of words have all turned into grievances, unwillingness and resentment.

If there was no Gu poison, the original owner would not be tortured and committed suicide, and he would not come to this world and continue to suffer from this pain.

Xu Yuanqing's mood fluctuated too much, as if the world around him froze, his only rationality made him get up and go out, refused everyone's support, and staggered to Li Ying's yard.

He exhausted all his energy, and fell limply in front of the door, tears streaming from his eyes, he was happy that he didn't collapse, but was full of unwillingness and pain.

It seemed that even the misery of the real Xu Shizi was vented, and it was the first time in so many years that he vented his emotions unreservedly, without any consideration.

So many people ran around because of his illness, felt guilty, and looked for countless ways. Even he occasionally felt that he would not live long, but he didn't expect that it was Gu poison that tortured him for so long.

"Gu poison."

He let the tears hit the ground, murmured these two words, his eyes gradually calmed down from the mad state, thinking about the "yes" said by the witch doctor, he felt more hope, and stopped the tears.
