MTL - Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times-Chapter 72
"Knock knock—" There was a knock on the door, interrupting the eager atmosphere between the two.
Outside the door, it was almost noon, it was time for lunch, and the princess hadn't gotten up yet. Chunxi was worried that she would be too sad and forget the time, so she knocked on the door again: "Princess, are you awake?"
"It's Chunxi who is calling me." Jiang Libai pushed down Gu Yun who was restless, covered her with a thin quilt, and whispered: "You are the one who is about to step into the coffin, be careful, don't reveal your secrets .”
Seeing Gu Yun turn into that dying look again, Jiang Libai patted her face and stood up in satisfaction.
As soon as she stood up from the bed, her legs gave way and she almost fell into the bed.
Fortunately, Gu Yun's eyes were quick and his hands were quick, and he grabbed her slender waist, "What's wrong?"
At this moment, Jiang Libai felt the weakness in his body. She looked down, and her unsteady legs were trembling slightly, as if... the **** was too much.
She flung herself into Gu Yun's arms, and looked at her coquettishly and timidly.
Gu Yun's hair was disheveled, her clothes were half open, her thin lips looked slightly swollen than before, and there was a touch of pink in the moist luster. When she sipped it lightly, she exuded a captivating charm.
And the long and narrow eyes are half-closed, without the usual quietness, they look extraordinarily dazed and innocent...
Seeing this, Jiang Libai snorted softly, and bit the woman's neck.
"Hiss—" Gu Yun didn't know why the Seventh Princess bit her suddenly, but she didn't struggle, and silently endured the slight sting from her neck and...the scorching temperature that could not be ignored.
After a while, Jiang Libai raised his head, and Gu Yun's slight frown was reflected in his watery eyes.
"You still ask what's wrong!" Speaking of this, Jiang Libai wanted to bite her again, but seeing that there was already a red mark on her neck, she gave up.
She pouted and continued angrily: "You kept me up all night last night, why do you think I can't stand still?!"
The corners of the girl's eyes and brows still had some spring scenery after the storm, and the wet eyes glanced casually, but they seemed to have a little coquettish hook, so that Gu Yun could hardly look away.
Those pink cherry lips parted slightly, tempting her to stick them on...
Jiang Libai frowned, then reached into the bed and pulled hard at the soft flesh on Gu Yun's waist, "Be honest!"
It's too dangerous here, Gu Yun's eyeballs have been falling on her body, and they never moved away!
Jiang Libai supported the edge of the bed with her hands, stood up with difficulty, rubbed her sore waist, and warned Gu Yun again: "Be honest and pretend to be sick, don't keep thinking about immoral things!"
Gu Yun lay on his back, his whole body was covered with a quilt, leaving only one head outside.
She watched Jiang Libai pat her dress, trying her best to maintain her calm and self-sufficiency.
That serious appearance is just like a "scumbag" who refuses to recognize anyone when she puts on her pants, which makes her frown slightly, and bit her lips shyly: "Yes, I will obey the princess' order~"
Jiang Libai: "..."
The woman's delicate voice was like a light feather, brushing past the tip of her heart, and a little bit of itching spread to her whole body.
She looked back at the woman lying on the bed, her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, casting a warm shadow in the depths of her eyes, which made her heart pound.
"I'll clean up you little fairy at night!" Jiang Libai held back the desire that surged from the bottom of her heart, and pinched the little fairy's snow-white face.
Hearing this, Gu Yun's eyes were dizzy with dazzling stars, shining so cutely.
Jiang Libai stared at it for a long time before she couldn't help touching her smooth cheeks again.
Outside, Chunxi couldn't wait any longer.
She knocked on the door again, "Princess?"
Just when she was about to go with her son-in-law, whether the princess was too sad in the past, the door creaked open.
Jiang Libai's face was calm and unwavering, without the uncontrollable grief of yesterday, but in the eyes of Chunxi and Qin'er, it always felt that it was a sign of being sad and confused.
"Princess...the breakfast is ready, can you use some?" Chunxi was afraid that the Seventh Princess would be so depressed, so she went with her son-in-law...
Jiang Libai was really hungry right now.
After tossing and tossing for so long last night, Gu Yun must also be hungry.
She waved to the little maids who were holding washbasins at the bottom of the steps, "I wash up first, and then have breakfast."
Hearing that the seventh princess was still willing to eat, Chunxi was very excited, and hurriedly called the little maid behind her to serve the seventh princess.
"Bring breakfast into the house later."
Hearing the Seventh Princess' order, Chunxi probably understood that she might not want to leave the son-in-law, so she also nodded, "Yes, Qin'er, go to the kitchen and order."
Qin'er heard the words and left the main courtyard in silence.
…
In the main room, Jiang Libai waved away the others, and slowly started eating breakfast.
"Is there an explanation for the poisoning of the son-in-law?"
It's been one night, so it should be possible to check it out?
I just don't know what kind of result those people in the Ministry of Punishment will give.
Sure enough, Chunxi bent down, moved closer to Jiang Libai's side, and whispered about it.
According to the joint investigation by the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple, the person who drugged Gu Yun was a native of Yunguo who pretended to be a food delivery person.
"People from Yunguo?!" Jiang Libai thought this was unbelievable, "How could it be from Yunguo?"
She suddenly belatedly remembered the arson case in Beijing a few days ago. Could it be that the Yun people were involved in this? ? ?
Chunxi knew what the seventh princess was worried about.
"Before daybreak today, the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple have cleared the grievances of the son-in-law regarding the arson incident."
Under Jiang Libai's cold eyes, Chunxi continued: "The people in the Ministry of Punishment only said that they made a mistake in the previous investigation and were deceived by the tricks of the Yun people. In the past, it was really the Jin people who hid in the capital through the son-in-law and set the fire..."
After finding the right direction, the people from the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple quickly determined the place where the people of Yunguo temporarily stayed based on the person who poisoned them.
But judging from the news from the Ministry of Punishment, they didn't seem to have caught all the Yun people, and several people escaped.
But those people caught are enough to clear the suspicion of the son-in-law.
As for the Jin people who were captured before, it was revealed under torture that they were bribed by the Yun people, and the arson case was deliberately placed on them.
The people in Dali Temple found out that the money that bought them had indeed flowed into the state of Jin, so they confirmed that they were telling the truth at this moment.
That is to say, the Yun people deliberately set fire in the capital, and after causing panic, they deliberately bribed a few Jin people who were begging for a living in the capital, and gave them money that they could not use up in several lifetimes, and asked them to send it to their families in the Jin state. They willingly took the blame on themselves, and then involved the son-in-law...
After hearing these words, Jiang Libai always felt something strange.
"When did those Yun people hide in Beijing?"
She still remembered that ever since that **** Jiang Shen colluded with Yunguo before, her father made a decree to strictly guard the border with Yunguo, and not allow anyone from Yunguo whose identity is unknown to come back. Enter Yu Kingdom secretly.
As for Jingzhong, the soldiers at the gate of the city were also ordered to check the non-nationals carefully, and if there was something wrong, they would be sent back immediately.
So Jiang Libai was very surprised, could it be that those people from Yunguo had been hiding in Beijing a long time ago? Hidden for so long, just to set fire in the capital, and then put the blame on the state of Jin, and pull Gu Yun into the water? !
This is too... bizarre, right? ? ?
"This servant doesn't know very well..." Chun Xi only inquired about the most important matters, and she didn't pay attention to such trivial matters.
Then she continued to talk about the other details she had inquired, and then left the main room under the signal of the Seventh Princess.
The sunlight outside the house was shut at the door, and Jiang Libai waited for a while before picking up her own bowl, and put a lot of Gu Yun's favorite dishes in it.
While it was still warm, she walked quickly to the back room.
"Get up, use
Breakfast is served. "
She sat by the bed and handed the rice bowl to Gu Yun who was already sitting up, "Just use it."
The food in the bowl was fragrant and fragrant, which lured Gu Yun's gluttons to pop out.
She hasn't had a good meal for a long time, and she quickly finished the dinner in big mouthfuls.
Jiang Libai blinked her eyes, watching her silently remove all the food in the bowl, and her heart was filled with innumerable heartaches.
She took the empty bowl and looked at it. There was not even a grain of rice left in it.
"Shall I get you another bowl?"
Gu Yun licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, and shook his head: "It's enough to be eight percent full, and you'll be full if you eat more."
Jiang Libai put down the bowl and chopsticks, and sat on the side of the bed again.
Seeing that there was still a grain of rice hanging on the woman's chin, she naturally raised her hand to take it off for her.
"Chunxi just said that the person who poisoned you has been caught."
"It's from Yunguo."
Speaking of this, Jiang Libai twitched the corners of her mouth, "What a coincidence, once you are poisoned, the suspicion on you will be cleared."
"The person who set the fire a few days ago has also been found, not those so-called Jin people..."
In the mild sunlight, Jiang Libai slowly told what happened outside.
…
In just one night, many things have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The news that the people of Yun State provoked an incident in Beijing and tried to put the blame on Jin State spread in the court.
The suspicion of the Seventh Son-in-law was gone, and she became the victim instead. After Emperor Yu came down to court, he gave her many things by decree.
It's just that in the eyes of others, the Seventh Son-in-law is on the verge of dying, no matter how much the compensation is, it won't be able to save her life.
Therefore, the Emperor Yu ordered the people from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple to track down those Yun people who escaped as soon as possible, and make sure to catch everyone who wronged the seventh son-in-law.
…
After two or three days of investigation, there were finally some clues.
The seventh son-in-law, who was hanged by the wild ginseng, seemed to be blessed by the heavens and started to get better.
It's just that the news was tightly suppressed by the Seventh Princess' Mansion, except for the two in the palace, only those who were serving Jiang Libai and Gu Yun closely knew about it.
It was raining lightly that day, and the night and the pervasive water vapor were shut out of the house.
In the quiet back room, Jiang Libai and Gu Yun teased the crying little Xingxing.
"She loves to cry so much, she should follow you." Gu Yun wiped off the few pearls that appeared on Xing Xing's face again, and smiled at Jiang Libai.
This made Jiang Libai very unconvinced: "I don't like to cry! She is not following me, she is clearly following you!"
Hearing this, Gu Yun raised his eyebrows, and licked the dry corners of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, "But, every time you can't take it anymore, you will cry and beg for mercy..."
Before she finished speaking, Jiang Libai covered her.
"In front of the stars, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
A suspicious blush had already appeared on the girl's face, and her erratic eyes looked left and right, but she didn't dare to look into Gu Yunhan's smiling eyes.
Gu Yun held her soft catkin and kissed her with a very gentle tone: "Then tell me, Xingxing likes to cry, did he follow you or follow me?"
Seeing that Gu Yun was holding on to this topic, Jiang Libai bit her lip, and kicked her lightly: "Stop talking nonsense! Otherwise, I will bite you!"
In Gu Yun's eyes, this pretentious and menacing appearance is really cute.
"Yes, yes, I will stop talking, so as not to make the princess angry."
Gu Yun showed weakness, Jiang Libai was satisfied, "It's not too bad."
Seeing that his mother had been fighting, Xing Xing on the side ignored him, and stopped crying a long time ago, with teardrops in his eyes, staring at the two of them without blinking.
