168 In front of the window in the middle of the night
When Gu Changqing and An Mingming saw this military newspaper, they no longer knew what to say.
Gu Changqing's slender fingers fumbled around the edge of the teacup, and a playful smile flashed rare on his ice-like face.
"I was afraid that he would cause me some trouble at this time, and I was thinking about whether to find someone to look at him. Unexpectedly, he cooperated very well and was sent back to the capital."
An Mingming put down the military newspaper, smiled bitterly, and said with a fan, "The Second Prince is really... unique."
An Mingming was raised in Linzhou after urinating. He was not particularly familiar with the people and things in the capital. His understanding of the second prince was limited to his son of the favorite concubine.
Gu Changqing recalled the way he got along with Lu Liunian for so many years, and sighed.
This second prince is loved by all his friends.
Sometimes monkey essence is a monkey essence, and sometimes it is stupid.
It makes you unable to deal with it accurately.
"The Second Prince has not settled one thing, but another thing has happened again. I just don't know what the emperor will do about him when these two things are combined."
Gu Changqing smiled disapprovingly and said, "What else can I do? I'll cover up."
Anyway, no one was killed when the dam was blown up.
He brought Xiaozuo into the military camp and was discovered in time without causing any losses.
Besides, he is also a pitiful little person who suffers physically and mentally.
I am sure that the emperor has to find a way to comfort this son who was "frightened".
An Mingming was so shocked, but seeing that Gu Changqing was so serious, he thought there must be hidden information that he didn't know, so he didn't ask more questions.
"How is Miss Chu's progress? I heard that it has been found to be dispersed for ten days, but I don't know... how did this poison get in?"
An Mingming was suspicious, and Chu Yu's same doubts were hard to solve.
In the past few days, Gu Changling has been responsible for detoxifying, so she is responsible for strolling back and forth and checking the way the other party poisons.
After a few days of investigation, she discovered an interesting phenomenon.
All the poisoned people are the labor force of young and middle-aged people.
They just chop wood and hunt on weekdays, and there is no other work to do.
Besides, they were not having dinner in the same family, so how could they be so coincidental that they were poisoned one after another?
Chu Yu couldn't figure it out.
Because of the doctor sent by the government office, Chu Yu and the other two were arranged to rest at the village chief's house. They went out to treat the disease during the day and walked around. At night, they returned to the village chief's house for dinner and rest.
The village chief is an old man over 60 years old. He broke his leg when he went up the mountain to chop wood in the early years. Now he is limping when walking.
My wife also passed away two years ago, which made him, who was already childless, very sad.
Last summer, when the village chief went to the mountains to collect herbs, he picked up a coma beggar by the river. He looked like he fainted from hunger.
The village chief felt unbearable, so he took him back home, adopted him as his adopted son, and named him Heiwa.
Although he has no rich days, he can still eat and wear warmth.
At this point, the father and son depend on each other for life.
"Heiwa, go to the city to buy some rice dishes tomorrow."
After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
The village chief called Heiwa aside and whispered, "They are all distinguished guests sent by the yamen. You must buy some good food. We can't neglect others."
"I know." The clear voice responded heavily.
After the village chief gave a few more words to pay attention to safety, both of them went to rest.
The house was not very big at first, but it was just separated from several houses.
Gu Changling and Chu Yu slept in the same room, and naturally they heard the conversation outside the house.
Gu Changling said with some emotion: "Because our joining seems to have wasted a lot of food."
Chu Yu smiled bitterly and pointed her little nose, "If you feel sorry for it, just leave some silver for them before leaving."
Gu Changling nodded in agreement, turned over, and said leisurely: "Detoxification cannot be done. According to the current progress, it will be fine in two days."
Chu Yu turned over and felt that she couldn't sleep. She felt so uncomfortable, so she sat up, "I still can't understand how this poison was put into it? You can't go from house to house, right?"
Gu Changling also sat up and thought about it seriously, "Sister Chu, is there a possibility that they ate something together, so they were poisoned."
Chu Yu thought about it and found that there was only one possibility.
only……
What opportunities do they have to eat together?
It seems that I have to ask again tomorrow.
Just as the two of them were thinking, they found a figure standing quietly outside the window. Gu Changling was about to shout, but Chu Yu covered his mouth.
The two of them looked outside the house in a steady state, and the people outside the house were also standing quietly.
"I don't know what the situation in Linzhou is now. I'm really afraid that after I go back, I will see a desolate scene." Chu Yu spoke first, pretending to be without any strange chat. "Hey, I really miss my carved bed, and my rich clothes and food."
Seeing this, Gu Changling quickly reacted. After Chu Yu took his hand away, he echoed: "I want to go back too. I can't take a shower here, and the room is hot..."
After the two of them finished speaking, they couldn't help but hugging their heads and whispering, "I want to go home-"
After a while, Gu Changling turned his head and looked out the window and found that the figure had disappeared at some point, as if it had never appeared, very ghostly.
The two looked at each other again, and a hint of horror flashed in each other's eyes.
Someone was monitoring them.
Chu Yu lowered his voice and said, "It should be the poisoned person who is monitoring us. Pay more attention these two days."
Gu Changling nodded.
After such trouble, the two of them were completely lost in sleepiness and didn't dare to talk about anything, so they had to look at the roof until dawn.
During breakfast the next day, the village chief looked at the sleepy look of the two of them and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with the two sirs?"
Gu Changling and Chu Yu said in unison: "Insomnia."
The village chief seemed surprised, but when he thought about it, he understood the reason and said embarrassedly: "The two adults are noble people, and they must be unable to live in our house. Haha, it is midsummer now, and the house is a bit boring."
Seeing the village chief’s embarrassing appearance, Chu Yu hurriedly explained: “It’s the same hot place wherever you sleep. It’s just that there were so many mosquitoes last night that made us unable to sleep well.”
When the village chief heard this, he immediately slapped his forehead in annoyance and said regretfully: "Look at my memory."
While speaking, I got up and took out a small cloth bag from the cabinet beside the wall. It was not very big, but it had a refreshing smell.
Medicinal materials?
The village chief explained: "There are many mosquitoes in the village, and even more so in summer. If the adults put this cloth bag in the house, there will be no more mosquitoes."
Gu Changling took the cloth bag, and a smell of medicine came to his nose. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, "It smells so good."
The village chief said embarrassedly: "I forgot this earlier, which made the two adults suffer for nothing."
"No problem, just have a good sleep tonight." Chu Yu glanced at the cloth bag casually, and had a different thought in his heart.
