An hour later, Gu Ruxu, who had been strolling back from the woodshed, entered the door and saw Gu Duo leaning against the couch to drink medicine. Pei Ying, who was beside him, also took his medicine and sipped it for a few sips, and then he wanted to look up at him.

Lan Zhou and aunt Yinghuan stood aside, looking quite helpless.

"Oh, this is... the couple in distress finally agreed?" She raised her eyebrows and blurted out.

Pei Ying was thin-skinned and almost couldn't even hold the medicine bowl in her hand.

"Don't tease them." Lan Zhou shook his head with a smile, "One is seriously injured and the other is weak. If you don't share the same joys, you can be considered sharing the same sorrows."

Gu Ruxu laughed out loud, looked at them, and said, "It turns out that your highness can cure my brother. He thought the medicine prescribed by Ayan was very bitter yesterday."

Gu Duo coughed and shook his head helplessly.

"The prescription Ayan prescribed is indeed quite bitter. If it is not allowed to moisten the mouth, it is really hard to swallow." Pei Ying smiled.

Lan Zhou was ridiculous and laughed, and could only sigh: "It's over, the emperor's elbow has turned outward."

Gu Ruxu disagreed: "Your Highness's elbow has been turning to my house from the beginning. When have you been turning back?"

This is a shameless statement. Even Gu Duo is a little hot, and Pei Ying's face is so red that it is burning.

"Azhao!..." She couldn't help but give Gu Ruxu a look.

Unfortunately, Gu Ruxu's face that has been sharpened in the world over the years has completely ignored her hints.

While they were drinking medicine, Gu Ruxu winked at Lanzhou and went out to talk to him.

After walking a little further, Lan Zhou asked, "Chao Jin has made progress."

Her eyes were slightly dark: "This person is very stubborn, I'm afraid he will have to rub it for a few more days."

Lin Xu and Ji Wangshu took turns to interrogate. Whether it was poison or torture, they were all things he was used to. If he didn't take any ruthless measures, it seemed that he could not open his mouth.

"Si Wan seems to have begun to suspect that you and I are hiding in Chujing. There have been a lot more Yulin Guards in the city these days, and the Changsheng Palace has also made some moves. It seems that they are anxious." Lan Zhou said.

Gu Ruxu pondered for a moment: "Si Wan had already suspected that you and I were still alive. This time her brother was rescued and she also had a poisonous ghost. She was naturally worried that we would get rid of the matter back then and she would get rid of the roots as soon as possible."

"The emperor's sister should not stay here for a long time. Si Wan realized that the prison robbery was involved with her. Even if it seemed like a coincidence, it would not be easily revealed. Someone will definitely go to the Princess's Mansion to monitor it in the near future. You and I can no longer easily go in and out of the Princess's Mansion and endure it for a while."

"What's wrong with Zheng's Mansion?"

"These days are quite peaceful, but with Pei Junhuai's character, since the defense map is involved with Zheng Cheng, it will only deal with the person faster. Zheng Cheng is not a fool. Once he realizes something is wrong, he will move, so that Shen Xianbai will stare at him." He looked up and suddenly saw her in surprise and frowned, "Why are you looking at me like this? What did I say wrong?"

She shook her head, as if she was a little unbelievable: "I just think your relationship with Shen Sanbai has improved a little?"

In the past, even if it was just a metaphor, he would never ask Shen Xianbai to help.

She always felt that when he mentioned Shen Xianbai, he grinned his teeth and wanted to get rid of it and then soon became normal.

He cleared his throat and turned his eyes away: "It's just to use him, don't think too much."

"Do you have a way to convince Wenhui?" Gu Ruxu asked.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." He frowned. "Although we have a lot of evidence at the moment, Tianqin Mansion is not the government office at Caishikou. You can report it by beating drums and making injustices. Besides, we are imperial criminals in the court. Even if we present evidence, we will be regarded as imperial criminals and detained, which will hit Si Wan's thoughts."

After he said this, Gu Ruxu also fell into hesitation.

"Indeed, even if we send evidence and testimony to Tianqin Mansion, Wenhui may not believe this evidence of unknown origin. If we fail to guarantee it, we will discard the evidence aside and instead investigate your whereabouts. You and I should not take action on this matter." She thought for a moment, and said, "If we ask the Tianqin Mansion to submit evidence and question the case of Ningguo Mansion, what might happen?"

Lan Zhou paused: "Do you recognize the young prison in Tianqin Mansion?"

If he wants to get help from Tianqin Mansion, he naturally has to find out the situation of Tianqin Mansion. It is rumored that Wenhui personally promoted it to him. His name is unknown. The officials in Tianqin Mansion only called him "Senior Master".

This person often covers his face with a mask on his daily life, and his appearance is unknown.

"This person's identity is beyond my expectations." She hesitated for a moment and said his identity, "Do you still remember Fu Yunyue of Xu's Mansion?"

Lan Zhou was shocked: "It was the boy who was beaten by Prince Duo and Duke Ning in the past when he was rude to you?"

She nodded: "He has hidden strength in the Xu Mansion over the years and has learned a lot of martial arts. Xu Zhen arranged for him to work in Tianqin Mansion. He has helped me some time ago. Shen Xianbai and him are old acquaintances, so he can help him."

Lan Zhou pondered for a moment, and couldn't help feeling a little nervous: "Can you believe him?"

She nodded: "Although I look like a playboy, I have already told him that this person can believe it."

"In this way, try to meet him." Their situation is now only a bet.

A few days later, Pei Ying, under Lan Zhou's advice, lived in silence and temporarily cut off the contact with Qianjin Cloth Village. Although he had a heart, in order to let Si Wan dispel his doubts, he could only endure it so much.

Under Lan Zhou's diagnosis and treatment, Gu Duo's injuries gradually improved. He was able to walk around in the backyard for a while. In addition to his hoarse voice, he could say a few words in a brief manner.

Shen Xianbai came once and met Prince Duo. After talking for a while, Gu Ruxu told him about asking Fu Yunyue to present evidence.

Now she is just the time to act carefully, so she can only ask him to convey it on her behalf.

This method is indeed safer than when she and Lan Zhou go there. Not to mention whether Wenhui would believe their words, it would be extremely difficult to enter Tianqin Mansion. If Fu Yunyue helped her, at least with Wenhui's trust in him, the evidence presented would be clear.

He responded to this matter and when he could meet Fu Yunyue, it would take several days to inform her.

She asked about the situation of the Zheng family, and he only said that everything was fine. There was nothing unusual about Zheng Cheng. He would try to find the half-defense map as soon as possible.

When she sent him out of the cloth shop, she looked at his figure gradually moving away. Somehow, her heart thrust and couldn't help calling him.

"What's wrong?" He turned around, but she didn't know what she wanted to say.

"...Be careful in everything. If you find something is wrong, leave the Zheng Mansion immediately." She scratched her head, and suddenly felt that she was a little worried.

Everything went well, but why did you suddenly feel uneasy?

The scene of him being pierced by thousands of arrows flashed through his mind just now, which scared himself.

Chen Fanbai smiled and said, "Well, I remember it, you should be more careful."

After saying that, he disappeared by the door.

The servant closed the door, but she was stunned for a long time. It was not until Lan Zhou stood behind her that she recovered from her spirit.

"I just can't bear to bear it?" he asked.

She glanced at him and said angrily: "Your tone is so sour."

He replied with a natural look: "My wife who has not passed the door always remembers other men in her heart. Isn't it very common for me to be jealous?"

She laughed in silence: "It's time, I'm still serious about this."

After exposing the words lightly, she turned around and walked back.

"Crown Prince Duo has improved a lot in the past few days, and I have to say something to you and me." Lan Zhou said seriously.

Gu Ruxu was stunned for a moment and went with him to meet Gu Duo.

Gu Duo could sit under the window for a while. When he saw them coming in, he asked them to sit in front of him.

"Brother, why are you in a hurry to call Ayan and me?" Gu Ruxu sat next to him, and Lan Zhou also landed.

Gu Duo hesitated for a moment, as if he finally made up his mind and said to the two of them: "There is one thing that I have been thinking about, and it is better to explain it to you first. Perhaps it will be helpful to what you are going to do."

Lan Zhou frowned: "Please speak for me, Prince."

"I should have done this alone, but my current injury may have to be delayed for a long time. Ah Zhao, haven't you asked me how I survived? In fact, on the day of the execution, before I went to the court, I was already stunned by the drug. The person who was sent to the court was not me at all. And the person who acted behind my back was Ruan Fangting."

"It's so..." She guessed that someone had transferred the bag in advance, but she didn't expect it to be before going to the court.

"The Palace of Changsheng has always been Si Wan's person. Ruan Fangting obeyed her orders and kidnapped me. When I woke up, I couldn't help it. Chao Jin was the person sent by Ruan Fangting to interrogate me."

"Why did Si Wan do this?" Gu Ruxu looked at him in confusion.

"For the national protection order in my hand," Gu Duo said, "Everyone in the world thinks that Gu Duo is dead, so she can hide me completely. I will not hand over the national protection order for one day, and I will not stop for one day in questioning."

Gu Ruxu suddenly reacted and took down the national protection order he carried with him and placed it in front of him: "I heard that there were two national protection orders, one in the hands of the Sword Sect, and the other was said to have entrusted you with the late emperor. Only when the two national protection orders appeared together can the emperor's will be taken out and announced to the world."

Gu Duo nodded: "The order to protect the country is a military talisman that can mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The late emperor divided it into two parts. Originally, one was left in the palace and Ningguo Mansion. The late emperor once said that if the tyrant ruler was in power in the future, the Ningguo Mansion could use this order to advise the emperor to avoid the crime of disrespect. However, five years ago, the late emperor entrusted the order to protect the country in the palace to me and let me

Keep it properly and it will be of great use in the future.

The late emperor realized that someone in the palace intended to assassinate, but for a moment he didn't know who it was. Before that man took action, he left a decree and handed it over to your grandfather, Si Yun, the Grand Tutor. And the two orders for protection of the country, the late emperor repeatedly reminded me and my father to send it out of Chujing as soon as possible, just in case."

"Since my father has noticed the assassination, why don't you let the Duke of Ning be more careful?" Lan Zhou said suspiciously.

"The late emperor naturally thought of summoning the Duke of Ning to protect the emperor, but everything was just speculation at that time. The situation in the palace was more complicated than we thought. As a foreign minister, Ning Guogong was inconvenient to stay by the late emperor's side at all times. Although the close attendants in the palace were extremely careful, they still couldn't be fully prepared."

The poison in which the late emperor was quite strange, and he had no chance to check it out in detail. It was not until it fell into Ruan Fangting's hands that he learned the origin of the poison.

"This poison needs to be guided by ginseng, so I framed my mother." Lan Zhou said gritting his teeth.

"The late emperor has left and his decree is still there. Only by taking back two national protection orders can you go to see the grandfather."

"I have already inquired about it. The Grand Tutor Si has been under house arrest in the Rulin Pavilion. Si Wan has never been able to ask him about the whereabouts of the decree from him for the past five years, and she dare not touch him easily. Before Ruan Fangting received two national protection orders, he should have a safe life." Lan Zhou said, "Criminal, where is the other national protection order now? We'd better get it back as soon as possible."

Gu Duo was silent, and finally revealed the whereabouts of the National Protection Order: "Another National Protection Order, I sent it to Fayuan Temple that year. There was a ancestral temple of the Gu family's ancestors. Abbot Huiming of Fayuan Temple and I were old acquaintances and promised to collect the National Protection Order for me. No one has noticed it over the years."

"Fayuan Temple!..." Gu Ruxu was shocked.

She had also gone to Pingyue Mountain several times, but she didn't know that there was a Gu family's ancestral temple there, and her parents had never taken her to worship. It should have been very long. The Gu family's ancestral temple she remembered should have been moved to Ningguo Mansion long ago.

"Abbot Huiming is a trustworthy person. Since I promised to collect another national protection order for me, I would definitely not hand it over easily. Ruan Fangting and others probably wouldn't have thought of finding another national protection order that I had been looking for for five years, and it was hidden less than five miles outside the capital of Chu." Gu Duo said, "If I want to get this thing back, I must go to Pingyue Mountain in person. On that day, I agreed with Abbot Huiming that if I hadn't gone to get it back, he would not hand over the national protection order to anyone."

Upon hearing this, Lan Zhou glanced at her and knew it in his heart.

"It seems that I can only try to go to Pingyue Mountain."
