Chapter 421: The Gourd in Cao's Heart in Hanying

As the twelfth lunar month entered, Chang'an City was sad and it was already a harsh cold winter. In addition, the murder of Yuan Bolang fermented slightly, Chang'an City was in a state of bleakness in winter. Without martial law, the streets were almost the same as martial law, and pedestrians were desolate.

The second round of the secret battle ended temporarily with Yuan Bolang's murder. At this time, the conflict between the two sides had turned into a three-party confrontation. Originally, Liu Yu suspected that the court wanted to get rid of him and then quickly, but now it seems that the culprit behind the scenes was more urgent to take action. He was glad that he discovered it in time and was not kept in the dark.

When the three sides confront each other, Liu Yu's attitude will determine which side will win. In fact, Liu Yu still valued Su Yan very much at this time. After all, Su Yan was the emperor he personally picked up. But a small matter deepened Liu Yu's suspicion of the court.

Liu Yu was confined.

An imperial edict was issued in the palace, which made Liu Yu "reflect on himself behind closed doors", which means that Liu Yu could not go to Chang'an City to wander around. The murder of Yuan Bolang was not yet determined, and Liu Yu was confined, which made him feel helpless.

Liu Yu rarely had time to relax at home, and no one came to disturb him. The whole family gathered together every day, warm and warm. Although Liu Yu was at home, he was able to understand all the big and small things about Chang'an City, and he also stepped up his investigation into the real murderer behind the scenes.

On the morning of the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, Liu Yu was drinking warm tea at home, reading a storytelling book while accompanying the woman at home to embroider. Lu Chu'er ran in panic at the door, and said anxiously: "Outside...that fat man outside..."

Liu Yu is now in a confinement period and others cannot come to visit him. At this time, there is still a "fat man" coming?

"who?"

Lu Chu'er was still there and couldn't explain clearly after he was stuttering for a long time.

As one of the captains of the two guards, Lu Chuer is much inferior to Cai Yingnu. In addition to having strong strength and unsatisfactory ability to express his eyesight. Liu Yuzai got used to it. He put on his coat and went out. The "fat man" mentioned by Lu Chuer had been brought in by the female guard, saying that he was a "carriage", but in fact he was just support. This "fat man" is no one else, but the dignified fourth son-in-law Linqing Hou Chai Jin.

The half-dead gourd seemed to be steamed and then cooked, and then thrown into the snow.

"gourd?"

Liu Yu stepped forward to support him. He thought this guy had been discovered by Su Bi. He beat him up and drove him out of the house. Unexpectedly, Liu Yu called him, Chai Jin, who had originally hung his head, raised his head, and complained with energy: "It's so cold!"

I thought he had recovered, but when he raised his head, he fainted.

A group of female guards rushed to carry the person into the house, with ginger tea and hot water and hot towels. After a long time of struggle, Chai Jin woke up slowly. Liu Yu looked at the old boy, and there was no injury on his body. Maybe he was frozen outside.

"Brother Liu, oh... it's really troublesome. Sorry." Chai Jin sat up from the soft couch, took off the hot towel from his head, glanced at Liu Yu with apologetic expression, and then looked at the female guards who were staring at him with a small eyes wide open.

Liu Yu was disdainful to him, and Chai Hulu learned to be polite to others! Could it be that he saw so many women at the same time and wanted to show his own gentlemanly style?

Liu Yu pointed to the hot tea and snacks on the table beside him. Chai Jin's eyes lit up, and he grabbed them and stuffed them into his mouth. He seemed to have not eaten for several days.

"What's going on? You're kicked out by your inner child?"

Chai Jin looked at Liu Yu with a confused look on his face and said, "No, her... why did she rush me?"

Liu Yu originally thought he was sheltering a homeless man, but now he realized that he was thinking too much. After thinking about it, he was relieved immediately. Although Liu Yu reminded Chai Jin to go home to "explain honestly", Chai Jin was stupid and knew that his wife was difficult to deal with, so he would definitely not dare to say it even if he was timid.

"How did you come?"

Chai Jin didn't care about eating and said anxiously: "Brother Liu, you don't know. I went to Miss Ling's place... I couldn't find anyone, but I was so anxious that I searched outside for a long time. I couldn't find someone, so I came to you to ask. Did Brother Liu hide the person?"

When Liu Yu saw Chai Jin's face, he really wanted to go up and slap it twice. However, it was not a fault for Chai Jin. At that time, Liu Yu asked Sui Yi to find someone to move Chai Jin's outer house Ling Xu. The matter could not be notified to Chai Jin, so he delayed the matter. Who knew that Chai Jin would come out to meet his lover?

Ling Xu was just pregnant, no wonder Chai Jin was nervous. For such a silly man, he was very family-oriented.

"How long have you been looking for it?" Liu Yu frowned.

"From yesterday afternoon... I'll calculate..." Chai Jinpao pulled his finger and began to calculate how many hours he had been away.

Liu Yu had an unknown premonition in his heart. Chai Jin had been out for almost a day and a night. How could the female yaksha at his family not be in a hurry? It would not be possible to not reveal the situation. What I fear most was that I knew later that the matter was related to him, Liu Yu, which was very unfavorable to him.

But thinking about it, Liu Yu was still relieved. Su Bi is no longer an ally of his current relationship, so it doesn't matter whether he has to offend him or not.

Liu Yu urged: "I'll hide the person for you. Not only did I give you money, but my maid also helped you take care of him. Don't worry, no one will do anything to you. Go home quickly!"

When Chai Jin heard that Ling Xu was well, she finally let go of her heart, which was hanging around for a day and said with relief: "Don't worry. Anyway, my inner child is not at home."

Originally, Chai Jin was just an unintentional word, but Liu Yu could understand some tricks.

"You said Ling Nei was not at home? Where did you go?" Liu Yu asked cautiously.

"Maybe I've entered the palace. Anyway, my son said yesterday that he won't come back in the past two days. It seems that something is wrong in the palace. She has never been like this before."

Although the women of this era have a relatively high social status, they are generally not allowed to go out. Although a strong royal woman like Su Bi is in charge of the government, it is inevitable to take care of her husband and children. What is the reason why a mother who has been married and has children will not return home at night? What is the matter in the palace to drag her?

Liu Yu thought for a moment. In the past few days, he was really too concerned about finding the real murderer behind the scenes, and ignored the surveillance of some political leaders in Chang'an City. If Chai Jin had not accidentally told him that he would not know about such important information. Liu Yu stood up from the chair and said, "Hulu, you should go back earlier. What if your wife came home earlier and found that you were not at home, wouldn't you be unable to explain then?"

Chai Jin thought for a while and smiled silly: "What Brother Liu said is very much. Then I... will reply now."

Get up and put on your clothes, and about to go out, he turned around and said, "Brother Liu must help take good care of Miss Ling. I...I can't be sorry for her anymore..."

Liu Yu sighed. If Su Bi had not restrained Chai Jin strictly, Chai Jin would not have been chaotic after drinking, and would have "a fucked affair" as soon as he got the chance. Ling Xu is the jasper of the little family among all the ladies, and she is gentle and considerate to men. This is probably the reason why Chai Jin cannot extricate himself. Not everyone can live a life against the tigress in the family, unless she is controlled by the family or masochist.

Liu Yu asked the guards to send Chai Jin out, and he was not worried that he would be known to be visited by Chai Jin now. Since Liu Yu was confined, the people who were following the door had returned to their own homes. Liu Yu was confined to mean that he could not go out, and others could not visit him. He stared at him. In addition, there were few pedestrians outside, and there were a few people who did not move or leave all day long, so it was easy to be noticed.

Liu Yu immediately climbed up to his own two-story building and sent out flag words, asking the spies to quickly investigate what Su Bi and some officials of the court were conspiring. This is the top priority. Liu Yu is now trying to be clear about everything and not miss any details.

Send a message and the time of waiting is what makes Liu Yu most uneasy.

Liu Yu was a little anxious with the storytelling book. Things may have changed beyond his expectations. If the court had made any decisions, Su Bi would never be able to stay at night. The court was like an open courtyard. Although a palace door seemed to separate the inside and outside, there were records of who would enter and exit the palace. If the palace was stagnant, it would have been disguised, and there was something to be considered inside.

If the royal family conspired, Liu Yu thought that it should be related to the military affairs. Is the court impatient to take action?

Liu Yu went from the side hall to the study room. While he was thinking, the door opened with a "creak!" and Qier leaned into her head. Seeing Liu Yu coming in from the room, holding a tea tray in her hand, pouring the warm tea to Liu Yu. Liu Yu just smiled faintly and took it over, taking a sip and didn't want to drink it anymore.

Because Liu Yu suddenly came to the study room, and there was no brazier in the study room, Qi'er seemed to be very confused. At this time, Liu Yu looked so nervous and came to such a cold room. Liu Yu actually didn't pay much attention to seeing Qi'er, and the family had nothing to care about. Suddenly, the desk shook slightly, and Liu Yu suddenly woke up and found something wrong. He saw it clearly and realized that Qi'er had already crawled under the table.

Liu Yu smiled faintly. Qier had a fetish when Liu Yu first saw her. On their wedding night, Qier developed a habit of "drawing on the table" whenever she had the chance. This was also a little secret between them, and no one in the mansion knew about it.

It was rare that there was such warmth in the cold study, but Liu Yu was really not in the mood. Liu Yu had tidy up his clothes and stood up, and Qier also came out from under the table. At this time, there was footsteps of the guards at the door, and the female guard brought the brazier over.

"Qi'er, go back and learn embroidery well with your mother. I still have something to do."

Qi'er was frustrated and looked aggrieved. In the past, Liu Yu was unhappy. As long as she drilled into the table, Liu Yu would feel relieved. Today, this trick was not good. Liu Yu pinched Qi'er's nose comfortably and asked her to go back with the female guard. Liu Yu picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the paper.
