Chapter 419: Confession (two changes) (1/2)
Chapter 419 Confession (two more)
The night is full.
Sanding Jia, who had been busy in the cabinet all night, finally ended his official duties.
The three people came out of the cabinet, and King Ann got into his carriage and returned to the house.
The carriage of the Hanlin Academy stopped outside the cabinet, planning to send Ning Zhiyuan and Xiao Liulang home in turn.
Ning Zhiyuan was exhausted. I really wanted to go home in the Hanlin Academy's carriage, but his horse was still parked at the Hanlin Academy. If he didn't ride the horse back tonight, he wouldn't be able to come to the Hanlin Academy for value in the morning.
Walking too far, hiring a carriage is too expensive.
Ning Zhiyuan sighed helplessly: ”Forget it, I'll go back to the Hanlin Academy first, and I will ride my horse back.”
Xiao Liulang looked at him: ”Don't be tired and drive the horse.”
Ning Zhiyuan waved his hand: ”It's okay, it's not too far away.”
The carriage went in the direction of Hanlinyuan.
”That's right.” Ning Zhiyuan said again, ”Do you think Yuan Shoufu attaches great importance to you?”
”Are there?” Xiao Liulang said.
Ning Zhiyuan confidently said: ”Of course there is! Yuan Shoufu said three sentences to me today, and five sentences to King An Jun, not as many as you alone!”
Xiao Liulang didn't pay attention to these.
Ning Zhiyuan continued: ”Moreover, I found that he always looks at you.”
Xiao Liulang gave him an inexplicable little look: ”Have you done anything today?”
Ning Zhiyuan sighed again: ”You and Jun Wang have finished everything. To be honest, I didn't do much.”
Today, Yuan Shoufu asked them to go to the cabinet mainly to help sort out some memorials about the laws of the Zhao Kingdom. In the two hundred years since the founding of the Kingdom, some laws were set at the beginning of the country and conformed to the national conditions at that time. Suitable.
Almost every emperor of Zhaoguo will rearrange and revise the laws.
The emperor would not personally revise it one by one, but the cabinet drafted it before taking it for the emperor’s review.
But the cabinet needs to listen to the voices of the people before drafting, and the voices of the people need to be reported one by one by the local officials. What the three of them did today is to sort the content reported one by one into a standardized memorial.
Ning Zhiyuan entered the cabinet for the first time. Not only was he nervous, but he was also a little handy. He was not as calm and experienced as Xiao Liulang and Anjun Wang.
In fact, Xiao Liulang and King An were the first to come back to the cabinet to help, but the two were born from extraordinary backgrounds and had a lot of knowledge. They knew how to deal with cabinet officials, and they were able to live in the same place.
Ning Zhiyuan winked his eyebrows and said: ”Hey? You said...Does Yuan Shoufu have a crush on you? Want you to be his grandson-in-law?”
Xiao Liulang said calmly: ”Don't talk nonsense.”
Ning Zhiyuan said: ”I didn't talk nonsense! Wasn't it a rumor that Yuan Shoufu's granddaughter was going to marry King An? Somehow later, King An was engaged to the daughter of Ding'an Houfu. I will be careful tonight. After observing it, Yuan Shoufu's eyes were not right when looking at King An! He must have been Qi'an King Shichao and finally abandoned, and betrayed his granddaughter!”
Xiao Liulang has always been uninterested in outsiders' affairs. He said indifferently: ”I'm married.”
Ning Zhiyuan said: ”I know you are married, but does Yuan Shoufu know? Didn't the Shangshu of the Criminal Department come to you last time and want to marry his daughter to you?”
Xiao Liulang glanced at him: ”You are really free these days.”
Gossip everywhere!
Xiao Liulang didn't take Ning Zhiyuan's words to heart, because whether Yuan Shoufu really cared about him or not, it was definitely not for the betrothal of his granddaughter to him.
——Yuan Shoufu and Old Houye are already discussing marriage in secret.
……
It was midnight when Xiao Liulang returned to Bishui Hutong. He unexpectedly found a person standing at the door, wearing a light-colored gown, alone in the cool moonlight.
Xiao Liulang approached only to recognize him as Liu Yisheng who had a fate.
Liu Yisheng is an orphan of the Liu family. In the capital, he is like a rat crossing the street, but at the same time he is also Gu Jiao’s patient.
Xiao Jingkong had a relationship with Ming'er, the son of Prince Yu, the envoy of Liang Guo. It was Liu Yisheng who sent the two children back to the hospital.
Prince Yu gave a lot of money to thank him, and he accepted it.
But when Xiao Liulang also went to reward him, he refused.
He said: ”Dr. Gu treated me for medical treatment, either under-charged the consultation fee or not received the consultation fee. I owe Mrs. Gu and cannot accept your thanks.”
These words impressed Xiao Liulang deeply on Liu Yisheng.
”What are you doing?” Xiao Liulang stepped forward and asked.
Liu Yisheng saw the opponent as early as Xiao Liulang walked into Hu. It was not that he hadn't thought of avoiding it, but in the end he stayed.
He opened his mouth: ”I...”
His sleeves are not long, Xiao Liulang glanced over and noticed his hands wrapped in gauze, and there seemed to be faint bleeding from the gauze.
Xiao Liulang said: ”It's so late, if you want to heal your injuries, you can go to Miaoshoutang, where there is a doctor who is on duty at night.”
Liu Yisheng is not here to heal his injuries.
It’s just that it is difficult for him to explain to Xiao Liulang what he is here for.
He didn't want Xiao Liulang to misunderstand him.
As he struggled with his words, another carriage stopped at the other end of the alley.
Gu Jiao got out of the carriage and walked towards her home.
She saw two men from Yushu Linfeng standing at the door, facing each other in a strange atmosphere, and she was surprised for a moment.
This picture is a bit too eye-catching.
Xiao Liulang looked at her fixedly, with a bit of inquiry. At this hour, he thought she had stopped early, but he had come back.
And her clothes...obviously it was not the one she wore when she went out in the morning, nor any one at home.
Liu Yisheng's exploration is no less than Xiao Liulang's. Gu Jiao was in a coma when he was taken away, but now it seems to be restored to the same level as before?
Really, as Yuan Tang said, that master has no malice towards Gu Jiao, and 80% of them are people Gu Jiao knows?
”Msang Gong.” Gu Jiao called to Xiao Liulang, ”It's so late, what are you two doing here?”
”Ask him.” The person who was announced is finally in a better mood, and said to Liu Yisheng, ”Go in and sit down.”
Liu Yisheng said, ”No, I just asked Doctor Gu to take a look at the injury, and he left in a while.”
Xiao Liulang no longer forced, he turned around and entered the yard, lighting up all the lanterns in the yard.
Gu Jiao’s eyes fell on his right hand: ”Your hand...”
Liu Yisheng looked at his right hand wrapped in gauze: ”I'm fine.”
Gu Jiao asked: ”Stitched?”
Liu Yisheng looked at her suspiciously: ”You stitched it up, don't you remember?”
Gu Jiao thoughtfully: ”...It seems to be a bit impressed.”
Liu Yisheng pursed his lips: ”Do you... do you often do this? I mean, losing consciousness.”
Gu Jiao shook her head: ”Not often, tonight is a special situation.”
Liu Yisheng opened his mouth, and stopped talking.
He didn't ask in the end.
He said, ”I sent your medicine chest and back basket to the hospital.”
The master only took her away when he took her away. He did not take away anything on the ground. He first went to the hospital to inquire about her news and whereabouts, and then handed over the basket and the small medicine box to the second house.
Gu Jiao bends the corners of her lips: ”Thank you.”
Gu Jiao checked his injury. She was worried that she might not be able to stitch up in that situation. The facts proved that her muscle memory was too strong and the operation was perfect.
Gu Jiao explained some precautions and asked him to come to the hospital tomorrow to change the medicine.
Liu Yisheng suddenly took a deep look at her and asked: ”What about you? Are you really okay? That master...”
”He...” Gu Jiao thought for a while and said, ”It's my mate's friend.”
Don’t reveal the identity of Long Yi and Xiao Liulang, let’s call them friends for the time being.
Liu Yisheng completely relieved: ”Then I will leave.”
Liu Yisheng walked out of Bishui Hutong and came to Xuanwu Street, where an unremarkable carriage was parked.
Several guards ambush around the carriage.
Yuantang was sitting on the carriage.
Only after solving the group of secret guards, Yuan Tang immediately returned to the palace and called Chen Guo’s master.
I just don’t know if the other party was scared by Gu Jiao and the masked master, so I didn’t do anything on him this evening.
Liu Yisheng got into the carriage.
Yuantang raised his eyebrows and said, ”How is it? Is that girl okay?”
Liu Yisheng said: ”It's okay.”
