While Lin Junting was in pain and confusion in the alley, Gu Zhao had already stepped into the gate of the palace.

"Gu Aiqing, please get back on your feet quickly." The new master of the palace sat at the top, demonstrating his authority in a calm and unhurried tone.

Although the current Qin Youzhen has not yet held a formal enthronement ceremony and has not changed his reign, he has already accepted the worship of hundreds of civil and military officials. His status has been determined. He is no longer the same person who was forced to be frightened and confused by Emperor Shouzheng and He Zheng.

The prince.

And Gu Zhao knew that he had witnessed with his own eyes the brutality of the prince's slaughter of his brothers and the embarrassment of being forced into a corner. Qin Youzhen would definitely not feel well when he saw him now.

So even though Qin Youzhen acted very tolerant and friendly, she didn't relax at all.

"This is not a place where official matters are handled, why should Gu Aiqing be so nervous?" Qin Youzhen laughed, "We raided the Duke Li's Mansion today. I heard that Lin Weikang's wife was very disrespectful to you?"

Gu Zhao smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty is laughing at me. I don't know why. We are obviously mother and daughter, but we have never talked about being together. When we meet, we are like enemies."

Qin Youzhen looked at Gu Zhao with interest, "I heard that you scolded her until she vomited blood."

Gu Zhao cupped his hands and said, "I am scared."

"A traitor and sinful woman is so arrogant in the face of court officials. Even if Aiqing beat her to death on the spot, there is nothing to panic about." Qin Youzhen waved his hand, "In terms of etiquette and law, you have nothing to do with her.

, being able to spare her life is already tolerant and generous enough."

Gu Zhao didn't know what he meant by saying this, so he could only nod in agreement.

"I have said more than once that I like Gu Aiqing's temperament, and I still do."

"If it's someone else who is afraid of being impeached by speaking out and afraid of other people's comments, even if they have countless grievances in their hearts, they still have to hold it in and pretend to be public-spirited and forget their own interests."

"You are the only one, Gu Aiqing, who can be so true-hearted, clearly distinguish between love and hate, and never hide your attitude. Just like last time, if you hadn't taken down Lin Weikang without Gu Aiqing, you might have allowed his conspiracy to succeed, causing the war to rekindle, and there would have been a lot of trouble."

The people are in ruins."

"I will never forget this contribution."

At this point, Qin Youzhen changed the topic and began to ask who were the people arrested in the Duke Li's Mansion.

"So, Lin Weikang sent away his concubine and a pair of children in advance, and his only legitimate son happened to be outside the city and has not yet returned?"

Gu Zhao bowed and said, "That's it. Except for a few people from other places, all Lin family members have arrived at the case. Those four people who are directly related to Lin Weikang have not been arrested."

Qin Youzhen glanced at Gu Zhao: "Does Gu Aiqing think these four people can be caught?"

Gu Zhao replied indifferently, as if these people had nothing to do with her, "Your Majesty, Lin Weikang's concubine Jiang and her two children were arrested a few days ago by the He Control Department. Before the order was ordered to confiscate the house today, I have already

We got the news that they have been arrested and will be escorted back to Beijing soon."

"As for Lin Junting, the legitimate son of Lin Weikang, I have sent people to post wanted documents at the gate of Shangjing City, and sent pictures and pictures to various states and counties. It is only a matter of time for a dandy like him to be discovered."

When we came out of the palace, it was already dark.

Gu Zhao raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, then strode out of the palace gate and rode away.

At the same time, under the same stars, Lin Junting was squatting at the entrance of a small alley on the side of the road, peeping out and paying attention to the movement on the road.

He had just walked around in a daze for a long time. When he woke up, he found that he had walked near the home of his friend Jiang Xiaoyu without knowing it.

Jiang Xiaoyu was the youngest son of Uncle Huaiyuan, one year younger than Lin Junting, and had grown up with him since childhood.

The relationship between the two is so good that they can wear a pair of pants.

During such times of great change, Lin Junting habitually walked near his home.

Thinking of the friendship between Jiang Xiaoyu and himself, Lin Junting felt warm in his heart, as if a traveler who had traveled thousands of miles in the dark wilderness saw the lights ahead.

He couldn't wait to see his friend, wanted to talk to his friend about his pain, wanted to be comforted and accompanied by his friend, and wanted to hear his friend's advice...

When Lin Junting was on a hunting trip with Jiang Xiaoyu and others outside the city, the man accused of Hesi stopped him and informed him of the situation, warning him not to go back and just fly away.

In a panic, he left them alone and ran back. According to Lin Junting's understanding of them, they would definitely come back tonight and ask Lin Junting what happened.

The sound of horse hooves and voices came from outside the alley. Lin Junting pricked up his ears and heard Jiang Xiaoyu's familiar voice.

"I only caught two pheasants today. I went back and plucked the hair from the tails to make shuttlecocks for my little sister..."

A smile appeared on Lin Junting's lips. This boy is still thinking about the pheasant feather shuttlecock.

He stretched out his head and looked around. There was no one else, so he walked out of the alley and stood on the roadside and waved to the group of people, "Brother Yu, Brother Yu!"

"You, you, Brother Lin?" The young man in the center of the team got off his horse and looked at Lin Junting under the torch for a long time before he recognized him. "Why do you look like this?"

If it were in the past, Jiang Xiaoyu would have laughed and rushed over to him immediately, hugged Lin Junting and punched him twice, scolding him for hiding on the roadside. He must have no good intentions. But now, there is more than ten feet between Jiang Xiaoyu and Lin Junting.
