Chapter 257 Dinner
The visitor didn't answer when he heard the words. He just gave Gu Yuqing a hurried salute, stepped forward, and placed a handkerchief that he had been holding tightly in his hand on the stone table beside Gu Yuqing, "I can't stay here for a long time."

Her palm-sized face was tightly covered by a curtain, so no one could see her face clearly. She was also wearing a ready-made skirt like those sold in fabric stores everywhere. She deliberately kept her voice very low. , her voice is no longer what it was originally.

After saying that, she said goodbye and left, and Gu Yuqing asked Jixiang to send her out in person.

Mu He has already finished kneeling, so go out all the way, be sure to avoid Mu He who may appear at any time.

After Ji Xiang led her away, Gu Yuqing immediately picked up the handkerchief and headed towards the bedroom, her face solemn and her brows slightly furrowed.

At this time, she came to the door suddenly, it must be something urgent.

A bad premonition lingered in Gu Yuqing's heart.

He sat down on the round stool next to the wooden table, unfolded the crumpled silk handkerchief, and looked around quickly.

The hastily written handwriting on the handkerchief made Gu Yuqing more and more uneasy. After reading it in a flash, he exhaled a breath of turbid air in his chest. Gu Yuqing handed the handkerchief to Ruyi with a solemn expression and said, "Burn it."

Ruyi lit the candle and placed the handkerchief on top of the flame. The silk was flammable and immediately there were tongues of flame licking it, giving off a burning smell. Along with wisps of green smoke, Gu Yuqing moved to the window and stared at it. The light and shadow in the corridor are mottled, and I am lost in thought.

The content on the veil really surprised her. She narrowed her eyes slightly, and her face became gloomier as thoughts raced in her mind.

Just thinking about something, Jixiang came in from the outside. As soon as he entered the room, he felt that the atmosphere in the room was not right, and looked towards Ruyi.

Ruyi pointed to the gray stain on her hand, Jixiang understood immediately, but she pursed her lips, walked up to Gu Yuqing's side, lowered her voice and said: "Miss, I just sent her away, and on the way back, I met the little girl. Master."

Jixiang would not mention Mu He for no reason. Gu Yuqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, she stopped thinking and turned to look at Jixiang, gesturing for her to continue.

"The young master just walked out of the kitchen courtyard of the mansion and headed towards the east courtyard. He didn't see the slaves." Ji Xiang said, with confusion on his face, "What did he go to the kitchen for? If he was hungry, the east courtyard There is a small kitchen, and the food prepared is more exquisite and considerate than the big kitchen in Fuzhong."

Gu Yuqing frowned and thought carefully, but couldn't figure out what was going on for a while. She was at a loss and had no clue, so she could only tell Ruyi: "Since he has already committed crimes, from now on, you should just focus on him."

Not to mention Chu Tiange, Mu He alone was a powerful opponent, and Gu Yuqing could not let his guard down.

Ruyi ordered to leave.

At dusk, someone from the palace sent a message saying that the South Vietnamese mission was about to leave Beijing. The emperor was going to hold a grand banquet to see them off tomorrow, and that Kyoto officials and their family members were required to attend.

After the last turmoil, everyone had different attitudes towards this banquet. Gu Yuqing sneered. Chu Tiange's conspiracy had not been implemented yet. How could he be willing to leave like this? Contacting the content on the handkerchief just now, Gu Yuqing It is almost certain that this banquet is probably the Hongmen Banquet hosted by Chu Tiange for her Chinan Marquis Mansion.

Otherwise, when an envoy from a neighboring country leaves Beijing, even if there is a grand banquet, why should the female relatives of each government go with them?
There is no reason at all!

I just don’t know how this Hongmen Banquet will end.

During dinner, Gu Yuqing served Mu He in person and looked at him with a smile, like a loving mother looking after her child, her eyes full of adoration.

The bright lights add a layer of warmth to this pampering.

Mu He looked at the food in the bowl in front of him, immersed in Gu Yuqing's pampering, with a smile on his face and said: "Sister is so kind to me, it's in vain that I had such thoughts before, I really deserve to be beaten to death!"

Mu He lowered his head to eat, and the smile in Gu Yuqing's eyes suddenly turned cold for a moment. As he watched him finish more than half of the food in the bowl, a smile broke out at the corners of his mouth again, and he spoke slowly, "There will be a banquet in the palace tomorrow. Since you are Chi Nan The legitimate son of the Marquis Mansion will naturally participate."

While talking, Gu Yuqing stared at Mu He for a moment.

Mu Hyuk used chopsticks with his left hand, and the fingers of his right hand that was placed on the table suddenly trembled.

After a few days of contact, Gu Yuqing discovered that Mu He had a habit. Whenever he had strong emotional fluctuations in his heart, his right hand would tremble, make a fist, tremble, and release, without exception, depending on the intensity of the emotional fluctuations. It's different, the length of time to make a fist is different.

Seeing his fists clenched and then loosened for a moment, Gu Yuqing looked away, her lowered eyelids making Mu He who looked up at her unable to see the frost in her eyes.

"Sister..." After a moment of silence, Mu Hyuk said, "Should I go too?" There was excitement and expectation in his tone, as if a playful child had received permission from his family to go to the temple fair. Although his eyes were excited, But there was no surprise or shock.

Come to think of it, he probably already knew that he would enter the palace tomorrow!

Gu Yuqing looked up at him with a smile, her eyes full of doting, "Yes, of course you want to go. How can I miss you in such an occasion?"

Without you, Chu Tiange would not be able to die in a hurry!
Excited, Mu He immediately stopped eating, put down his chopsticks, picked up a handkerchief to wipe the corners of his mouth, and said impatiently: "Sister, I have never been in the palace. I heard from my adoptive father that the blue bricks in the palace The green tiles are resplendent, and the sunlight shining on the glazed tiles can blind people, and I don’t know if it’s real.”

Gu Yuqing chuckled, "Of course it's not true, otherwise, everyone in the palace would be blind."

Mu He raised his hand shyly, scratched the back of his head and laughed, his clear eyes showing an edge and sophistication that was incompatible with this excitement.

Gu Yuqing suddenly remembered what Xiao Yu said about the boy scouts, and she couldn't help but wonder how old the ten-year-old boy in front of her was to have such a sophisticated look in his eyes.

Mu He stopped chopsticks, and Gu Yuqing also put the chopsticks aside, "I have asked Ruyi to send the clothes you are going to wear to the palace to your room. I will go back later and try on the size. If they don't fit, send them to Zhenxu immediately." Let’s change the room.”

Sudden realization flashed in Mu He's eyes. It turned out that Ruyi had gone to deliver clothes. No wonder she was nowhere to be seen.

His thoughts flew by, he nodded and smiled: "I know, sister treats me so well." She acted coquettishly, like a little Pekingese trying to please its master.

Gu Yuqing felt extremely bored, but she had to endure it and chat with him for a while with a smile.

Fortunately, Mu Hyuk was in a hurry to go back, change his clothes, and prepare for entering the palace tomorrow, so he quickly said goodbye and left.

Looking at the half-eaten meal by Mu He, Gu Yuqing smiled, turned around and ordered Jixiang to take down the meal and bring up a new one.

But the one in front of Gu Yuqing's eyes did not move at all.
