late night song

Chapter 273
After coming out of the main hall, Ling Buhuo, Gu Yuchu, Princess Helan, and Ji He walked up the steps in pairs, without anyone speaking.

In this battle, both sides suffer losses, and no matter whether they win or lose, it is not the end game.

Gu Yuchu held back the unspeakable heartache caused by the betrayal and looked solemn, but the only good thing was that Yunshan Wuluo didn't need to bother and directly locked onto his enemy, so everything that followed would be much easier to handle.

Walking outside the gate of the inner city palace, in front of Princess Helan, Gu Yuchu pretended to be harmonious with Ling Buhuo even if she didn't want to. The more her enemies wanted to see her retreat in spite of difficulties, then she Just not.

So, she did not refuse the man's right hand, and boarded the prince's noble and luxurious chariot.

The compartment door was closed, and Gu Yuchu took off all disguises. She sat directly on the main seat of the compartment with a cold face, not giving Ling Buhuo any face. The compartment was so quiet that even the wheels could pass through the gaps between the stone slabs of the official road. Hear clearly.

Ling Buhuo sat on one side, looking at her guiltily, and he had already decided in his heart that no matter how she tried to accuse her, he would accept it all.But the reality was completely different from what he expected. Gu Yuchu showed no other emotions except indifference.

"Do I have a chance to explain?" He said dejectedly, even though he knew it was nonsense.

"This is what you wanted to tell me at the house before, right." Gu Yuchu still didn't look at him, staring blankly at the glazed tassels swinging on the roof of the car.

"Yes."

"Never promise something you can't do." The woman shed tears quietly, and the calmer her tone, the more heartbreaking it was.

"I did it wrong. You can do whatever you want." Ling Buhuo took her cold hand, his attitude could be called extremely humble.

"I'll leave it to Shu Yuan." Gu Yuchu withdrew her hand and slowly turned his gaze to the man beside him, with terrifying respect.

"I will make her pay the price." Ling Buhuo said through gritted teeth.

"Don't be like this, she is not only your aunt, but also your mother-in-law."

Gu Yuchu half laughed, half smiled bitterly. Ling Buhuo felt sour and didn't know how to answer. The woman squinted her almond-shaped eyes with murderous intent: "But I will never let her go."

The carriage arrived at the post house, and before Gu Yuchu had time to get off the carriage, the imperial decree granting marriage had been announced to the Hehe Mission.

When Wang Zhigen handed the purple silk imperial edict to her, she hesitated.

According to the holy will, before the official marriage, General Yuesheng was allowed to move to the prince's residence outside the palace temporarily. After the ceremony to worship heaven, he and the prince settled in the East Palace of Ziyan Palace.

This unprecedented honor is Lao Ling Wang's respect and expectation for her, and it is also the strongest blessing for Hehe as a whole.

How could she refuse?

Therefore, Gu Yuchu had to return to the Prince's Mansion with Ling Buhuo according to the order, but she never said another word to him.

The next day, the embroidered messenger came to report that the Yunjing government detectives had found the scene of the first crime, but found a piece of physical evidence at the scene that was extremely unfavorable to Shu Yuan.

"Apart from the jade token, what other clues did they find?" Ling Buhuo asked with a frown.

The Spring Bamboo Shoots Jade Tablet was Shu Yuan's personal possession, and it was found at the scene of the first crime, which meant that his inference of absence was no longer tenable.

"There were traces of dragging the body at the scene. There was no other special discovery. The women from the brothel who came to the door were also carefully interrogated. They were paid by a man to come to the palace, but because they were wearing masks, they couldn't describe it. The person's appearance is basically male, middle-aged, not tall, less than 5 feet, and thin." The embroidered cloth messenger replied.

"Have you found out the ransom money and the change of the deed of residence of the deceased?"

"not yet."

"be quick!"

Ling Buhuo ordered, and the embroidered messenger took the order and retreated. At this time, Gu Yuchu was already standing at the door and heard their conversation clearly.

"You're here, just now..." Ling Buhuo took a few steps forward and wanted to hold her, but Gu Yuchu politely avoided her.

"I heard it all, she is going to kill Shuyuan!"

"It's not that easy." Ling Buhuo pulled back his hand in embarrassment and replied.

"Even so, don't blame me for being cruel." Gu Yuchu said harshly.

"What are you going to do?"

"She can attack my brother, and I can attack her son..."

The woman paused, glanced at him, and then said, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to your concubine."

Ling Buhuo was speechless. If Shu Yuan's matter hadn't been urgently resolved, she wouldn't have bothered to talk to him.

But now his situation is not much better. This woman neither cries nor makes trouble, treats him with respect as a guest, but occasionally makes sarcastic and sarcastic remarks, and her harsh words are sharp and harsh. Although he feels deeply guilty, it is such torture. I can't stand it anymore.

"What do you need from me?" Ling Buhuo sighed deeply.

"Your Majesty, you're welcome. I don't need you at the moment. I'll come to you when I need you." After saying these words, Gu Yuchu turned around and left without any regrets.

The Yunjing Mansion has almost collected all the evidence, and Gu Fan hasn't found any clues in the tea sets and cups. Now all they need is Shu Yuan's confession.

Shu Yuan was so arrogant that the Yunjing Mansion was forced to do nothing. Even though they knew that he was the prince's man, in order to close the case as quickly as possible and at the same time appear to be fair, they had to try some tricks of torture to extract confessions.But Princess Helan bribed the warden and made many small moves, and Shu Yuan's pain gradually turned into a painful pain.

Gu Yuchu was anxious and had to speed up his plan, but Princess Helan was very cautious. She did not allow her son to step out of the house. There seemed to be no better way than breaking into the house and forcibly binding him.

But the opportunity came quickly.

Three days later, Yu Bai and Ning Yi's daughter held a [-]-day wedding banquet.

For the Ning Mansion's happy event, invitations were sent to various mansions in Yunjing. As the sister of King Fucheng, Princess Helan had to go to her grandson's [-]-day banquet. As Ning Yi's former colleague, Ji Huan had no choice but to avoid it. .

Gu Yuchu and Ling Buhuo will naturally also attend.

"I'm going to do something today, can you do me a favor?"

"Just ask." "Find a way to hold back your concubine and mother-in-law and give Ji Huan time to move around freely."

Ling Buhuo frowned, with a familiar sarcasm again.

"Why, you can't do it?" Gu Yuchu narrowed his eyes and challenged.

"No."

"Thank you."

The carriage fell into silence again, but even though they were so cold when they were alone, Gu Yuchu treated him completely differently when they arrived at the banquet. She would deliberately be intimate with Ling Buhuo in front of Ji He, helping to tidy up clothes and pick up food. Even though she was drinking, she would talk to him with a smile on her face, as if nothing had happened between them.

"I heard that you had a romantic affair all night and you got into big trouble, but it doesn't look like it?!"

During the dinner, Ling Ziyu also came to trouble him. Ling Buhuo didn't say much. He changed from his normal behavior and didn't get angry with him. He just whispered: "Another day, I will teach you how to make an angry woman pretend to be generous."

Ling Ziyu responded with a smile.

As soon as the banquet broke up, Ning Yi invited a few familiar friends to have another dinner, drink and talk, and Ji Huan was naturally invited.

Princess Helan, as the elder, is naturally not able to participate in the private banquet of the younger generation.The banquet was over, and she had no reason to hang on, so she motioned to Ji He to stay, and on the grounds that she wanted to consult sister Yubai about her experience in raising husbands and raising children, she accompanied Ji Heng to ensure that he returned home safely after being drunk.

After Princess Helan left, Gu Yuchu signaled with his eyes that although Ling Buhuo was a hundred reluctant, he still did as he was told and found a reason to lure Ji He away.

Gu Yuchu, Yanfeng, Shan Mingxi, and Juan Niang were invited by Yubai to have a small gathering in the inner courtyard. After entertaining the child, Yubai asked the wet nurse to take the baby away and started chatting freely with his friends.

"You two, it's time for you to explain things properly." Yu Bai hooked his chin and motioned to Gu Yuchu and Shan Mingxi.

"You've all seen it, what's there to say?" Gu Yuchu was the first to answer, very frankly.

"The two of them can be considered as returning to their respective places." Shan Mingxi added.

"Everyone, what do you say?" Yanfeng became interested. Although these two were her biological brothers, she knew nothing about their childhood experiences.

Gu Yuchu and Shan Mingxi looked at each other, then nodded in unison, and complemented each other by telling each other about the childhood experiences of Ling Ziyu and Ling Buhuo.

Several people at the scene were so shocked that they could not speak, but they tacitly agreed not to ask further questions. After all, it involved royal secrets, so you just need to know.

"No matter what, they are all happy." Juan Niang concluded. She obviously didn't know what happened to Ji He. The word "perfect" made Gu Yuchu look a little bitter compared to Shan Mingxi's happy smile.

"From now on, you will be the Crown Princess, the future Queen of Beiling, tsk tsk tsk, Yu Bai, have you figured this out?" Yan Feng knew it in her heart. She crossed her arms and looked at Gu Yuchu, and changed the subject by teasing Yu Bai. .

"My skills are not good!" Yubai responded with a smile, adjusting the atmosphere back, and everyone laughed together.

"In the future, this palace will be deep, and life may not be as fun and carefree as it was in Suo Xing Palace." Juan Niang understood Gu Yuchu's temperament and couldn't help but sigh.

"Her? Don't worry. I've seen through it all. As long as she has the will, she can handle it all. I think Juan Niang is unfounded."

"You have so much confidence in me?" Gu Yuchu suddenly felt a little embarrassed and replied with a smile.

Juan Niang, Yan Feng, Yu Bai, and everyone including Shan Mingxi all nodded in agreement.

Time passed quickly, and the night was already deep. When the men's drinking party ended, the women's gathering also came to an end. Yan Feng and Juan Niang stayed at Ning Mansion, and Gu Yuchu and Shan Mingxi walked out of the courtyard side by side.

Although spring has begun, the nights in Yunjing are still cold.

Although the two of them didn't talk to each other, they were in step with each other and seemed to care about each other.

"What's going on with Ji He?" Shan Mingxi thought about it again and again before asking Gu Yuchu.

"It's just like you know." Gu Yuchu smiled lightly.

"you believe?"

"He didn't deny it himself."

"But I don't think it's that simple."

"I don't want to believe it in Yu Qing, but Yu Li has to admit it. Men, there are a few differences."

Gu Yuchu stopped and looked into Shan Mingxi's eyes. This was the first time they had been so close to each other since they had known each other for so long. Seeing that Shan Mingxi didn't know how to comfort her, she smiled and teased: "Not everyone is like you. My husband loves beauty more than country."

"It's not like you don't know how much of a bastard he used to be." Shan Mingxi was embarrassed and quickly interrupted.

"From now on, it's enough to only care about you. The two brothers are probably similar. When they come back, they may live upside down." Gu Yuchu sighed.

"I don't agree with this. The first half of my life was not that bad. Although I was dyed with flowers and butterflies and could not keep my body like jade, my love and thoughts were all the same person, and they never changed." Ling Ziyu appeared out of nowhere, It was like he was defending himself, or he was trying to save Ling Buhuo.

"Have you broken up? Where are the others?" This sudden confession made Shan Mingxi feel warm in her heart, but she couldn't show it, especially when others were hurt by love.

"Send Ji He back home." He replied. Shan Mingxi pinched Ling Ziyu's hand, blaming him for talking too much.

Gu Yuchu asked with a wry smile: "Where is Ji Huanren?"

"I was very drunk, and the boy helped me get into the carriage." Ling Ziyu replied naturally without asking the reason at all.

"Okay, it's late at night, I'll go back first." Gu Yuchu said goodbye knowing what he was thinking.

"Tell that person for me. They want to ask me how to coax a woman to change her mind. If you don't prepare for a huge profit, let's skip the discussion." Ling Ziyu shouted at Gu Yuchu's back.

Gu Yuchu paused for two steps and just waved his hand without looking back.
