Chapter 323 Suspicion

Gu Mingzhen bowed to the emperor first. In the past, the emperor would immediately dispense with this kind of courtesy.

But today, I don’t know if the emperor was in a bad mood, or someone made a small talk about himself in front of the emperor. Gu Mingzhen knelt down on the ground paved with gold bricks, and the cold chill went to his kneecaps.

It swished through the cracks, without even a cushion.

He was feeling uneasy, so he finished the ceremony politely and looked up at the emperor.

But they found that the emperor's entire body was hidden in the backlight, and his face could not be seen clearly. Even if one wanted to figure it out, there was no way to start.

At first glance, Gu Mingzhen almost didn't recognize the half-hunched old eunuch beside the emperor.

After taking a closer look, I realized it was Eunuch Wei.

When Eunuch Wei saw Gu Mingzhen, he was first shocked, then his face was full of joy, and then he looked panicked, his lips trembling, as if he had been frightened.

Gu Mingzhen couldn't help but take a closer look at himself. His clothes were still the same. They were not stained, nor had tea been sprinkled on them. There was no mud on his feet either...

This is thanks to the rough servants in the palace, who scrubbed the golden brick floor clean, spotless, and as shiny as a mirror.

Gu Mingzhen frowned and looked around with the corner of his eye, and found that there was no strange person around him.

The emperor asked Eunuch Wei to help him up, and he simply asked the doubts in his heart:

"Eunuch Wei, what's wrong with you? Your complexion doesn't look right. Are your bones still healthy?"

Eunuch Wei gave a bitter smile: "Old man, old man, you are of no use!"

As he spoke, he mixed garlic with the soles of his feet and stumbled a bit.

Gu Mingzhen hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him, but Eunuch Wei kept his etiquette and hid in a panic. However, his sleeve brushed against Gu Mingzhen's hand, and a round thing fell into Gu Mingzhen's palm.

Gu Mingzhen was stunned, and hurriedly gathered the thing in his hand, and continued to make a gesture to help Eunuch Wei. Eunuch Wei took a few steps back and completely avoided it:

"My lord, please forgive me. I'm afraid this old slave will never be able to do serious work again."

As he spoke, he retreated tremblingly.

If it weren't for the fact that the emperor was still there, Gu Mingzhen couldn't help but chase him and ask him what happened.

The emperor snorted softly, which sounded like thunder in Gu Mingzhen's ears - Could it be that Eunuch Wei had run an errand and offended the emperor?

At this time, the rich and heavy atmosphere made Gu Mingzhen feel like a little bug trapped in pine oil. No matter how hard he struggled, he couldn't get rid of the heaviness. His heart was stuffy and he couldn't breathe.

Get angry.

The entire imperial study was silent.

After another long while, the emperor finally spoke: "You are very affectionate."

The voice was hoarse and vague, and when Gu Mingzhen heard it, he felt a little strange.

He couldn't help but his heart sank, but he smiled on his face:

"Long live my Lord, Old Wei has been loyal to you for so many years. He has worked hard without any merit. If his body is really broken and he cannot serve in front of the emperor, you might as well give him some rewards and let him go out of the palace to be raised."

The emperor said calmly: "You don't need to worry about this matter. I know it well."

Gu Mingzhen choked up and couldn't continue talking.

The voice of this sentence was also not loud, a little vague, and a little strange. As Gu Mingzhen listened, an idea came to his mind almost crazily and made him stiff. Suspicion was like wild grass growing after the rain. How could it happen?

It can't be suppressed either.

The emperor raised his eyelids and glanced at Gu Mingzhen:

"What's wrong with you asking for help in such a hurry? Why have you been wronged and come to me for support?"

Gu Mingzhen was stunned, where did he start with this?

The emperor's attitude towards him has always been very friendly and courteous, although when he is in a bad mood, he is a bit unpredictable...

But it has never happened before that he is so clueless and so weird. Besides, why is his voice so strange?

Gu Mingzhen quickly turned his mind, endured the nausea, and dealt with it carefully:

"I don't have anything, I just feel aggrieved for Long Live Lord."

"oh?"

"The emperor wants to expand the harem. This is obviously a favor to the people below! But some ignorant people have made up some lies to ruin the reputation of Long live the Lord! I feel aggrieved on your behalf!"

While Gu Mingzhen tried his best to overcome the urge to vomit, he tried to say these disgusting words very naturally, as if he was originally a flattering villain with no bottom line.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Mingzhen felt that the sharp gaze that made him feel uncomfortable had become much gentler. If he were not still in front of the emperor, he would really have to lift his sleeves and wipe the sweat from his forehead.

After Gu Mingzhen came out of the palace, he went home directly. When he got home, he locked himself in his bedroom and strictly ordered no one to come near him. He wanted to get some solid sleep.

After that, he hid under the quilt and opened the little thing that Eunuch Wei had given him - it was a delicate white wax pill.

The small wax pills look no different from the pills we use every day, but they are more delicate and smaller. It is easy to stuff them into your purse.

If it is inconvenient to put it in your purse, hide it under your tongue, tuck it into your hair, or mix it into the medicine bottle you carry with you, it is not difficult.

There was a small piece of paper hidden in the wax pill, with only a few words written on it. It was crooked and it was hard to tell whether it was Eunuch Wei's own handwriting.

But the content just met the doubts in Gu Mingzhen's heart.

Eunuch Wei seems to suspect that the emperor has been secretly replaced. The current one is not the original one!

In fact, Gu Mingzhen also had this suspicion in his heart, but he did not dare to make such a decisive judgment. Eunuch Wei, an old guy, was too courageous!

There was just one thing that puzzled Gu Mingzhen - why did Eunuch Wei ask him to send a message to Xia Daohua, telling her to ignore everything and run away?

The spring in the capital is like a gentle hand, brushing away the remaining snow, allowing the weeping willows and winter jasmine to sprout thin buds; the spring in Jixiang County is belated, and the ice hanging on the eaves has just begun to melt; while in the Bohai Sea

In the spring of the county, it seems that this chaotic place has been forgotten, and the fierce north wind is still cutting the face like a knife.

Li Gan led his men, wearing a dog-skin hat crookedly and an old sheepskin coat backwards. The corners of a Northern Barbarian robe were exposed under the fur coat. On his feet were deerskin boots filled with urala grass. How could it look like that?

He is a native of Bohae County.

They had disguised themselves as mountain people selling mountain goods and escaped from Bohai County calmly and dangerously.

As soon as we left the city gate, Bohai County was under martial law.

Xiao Lu Buhua was extremely annoyed because of what Li Gan and the others had caused.

Although he knew that martial law might not be able to force Li Gan and his group out, and they might even be laughed at by their enemies, they didn't care.
