Gu Qingyuan learned not to be angry with someone she didn't care about when she was working for the Ruan family.
That would be unworthy and of no benefit whatsoever.
Gu Qingyuan stood in front of the door, "Are you done? Let's go after you're done."
Qin Lu felt dissatisfied in her heart.
Ever since Gu Qingyuan arrived at the Qin family, she was like a dim star, and her mother had asked her to imitate Gu Qingyuan many times.
She bit her lip. Naturally, she wouldn't be asking for trouble by staying here for so long.
Although she didn't see any clues on Gu Qingyuan's face, she was definitely hanging out with a guard.
Qin Lu sneered in her heart and left as Gu Qingyuan chased people away.
Inside the house, Pei Jinting had already arranged his clothes. When Gu Qingyuan drove Qin Lu away and returned to the house, he was sitting at the table drinking tea.
When he saw her coming in, he laughed softly.
Gu Qingyuan glared at him and asked,
"What laughing?"
Pei Jinting took her into his arms, hugged her whole body, and said with a smile,
"I remember happy things."
He lowered his head and said to Gu Qingyuan in his arms,
"The mark on the jade lock piece has found its owner."
He originally didn't want to tell Gu Qingyuan about this, but now according to the records in Qin's handbook, he said that Gu Qingyuan was the daughter of Duke Cheng'en.
Although he knew it wasn't, even if it was, it didn't matter.
There will be no blood connection between them.
But Gu Qingyuan didn't know.
These days, they are entangled in each other because of drugs.
Even though she was intoxicated, she always remained alert.
She didn't want to break the fate of her children if she didn't take the cold pills Lin Feng gave her.
The last time they talked about the Codex, he mentioned it but didn't elaborate on it.
"Who is it? How did you find it?"
Gu Qingyuan intertwined her fingers with his.
Speaking of this, Pei Jinting looked a little strange.
"It's the Ming family. The home of the old prime minister of the Ming Dynasty."
Who would have thought that the mark on the lock plate is just a corner of a painting?
It's not really a family emblem, and it has never appeared in Kyoto.
He had thought about clearing all other obstacles before telling Gu Qingyuan about it, but he didn't expect that Gu Qingyuan came to Rencheng first and found out about Qin's former servants.
Pei Jinting said,
"Although the jade lock piece belongs to the Ming family, it may be related to some secret. It must have nothing to do with your life experience. That's why the Ming family sent people to assassinate you several times."
But who is Gu Qingyuan's father? The answer is already in his mind.
How unpredictable things are.
If it had been earlier, maybe we wouldn't have reached this stage.
But time will not go back, they can only keep moving forward now.
Take it one step at a time, and solve the situation at hand first.
The rest will be solved one by one after returning to Beijing.
Gu Qingyuan took out the jade lock piece and two identical gold hairpins from the box.
Spread out in front of Pei Jinting.
"One of these hairpins was left to me by my mother back then. It was only after I wore this hairpin that I showed up at the Ming family that I was assassinated."
"The other one is the bait that King Qin put down to lure me to the top of Linjiang Fairy."
"The two hairpins are exactly the same. The patterns carved on them are the same as those on the jade locks."
She didn't know what the Ming family should pay attention to about these two hairpins.
What kind of secrets are hidden here?
Pei Jinting has stayed in the Wucheng Military and Horse Division for so many years, and he has naturally seen more agencies than Gu Qingyuan.
He looked at the two hairpins and the jade lock piece.
"Can Yuanyuan put these two things here with me? I want to find someone to check the painting of the old Prime Minister Ming."
He hugged Gu Qingyuan tightly, rested his chin on her bun, and said,
"Aren't you surprised that I didn't tell you the specific reason in the past? Instead, I trust you so much... With a character like yours, what would you do if you met a bad man?"
The bad man in his tone is like Lu Wenze.
Gu Qingyuan agreed to give the things to him. She might have wanted to hide them from him in the past and put those embarrassing things in a dark place.
Now I feel that there is no need for too many secrets between them. If they are honest with each other, they may be able to take some detours.
What's more, these days, it seems that we are more entangled, and we can accept those secret relationships.
As Pei Jinting said, so what if everyone in the world despises you?
After all, you can't live in the eyes of others.
She leaned against Pei Jinting's chest, her tone full of trust,
"If you don't tell me, you must have your own considerations. No matter what you do, you will never hurt me."
Pei Jinting was naturally very grateful for Gu Qingyuan's complete trust.
"I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I was afraid that you would worry."
"After all, like a gambler, I am not very clear about the specific situations."
Gu Qingyuan decided to trust Pei Jinting, which was very reasonable. Finally, she talked about Qin Lu.
Pei Jinting squinted his eyes and played with Gu Qingyuan's black hair.
"Qin Lu has sent someone to keep an eye on her."
I just didn't expect that she would actually have contact with Lu Wenze in private.
Lu Wenze came to Rencheng earlier than he and Zhao Xiaoqi.
The foreign minister sent by the emperor was not from Shandong.
In other words, he came to Rencheng privately.
As soon as he came, he started to interact with the Qin family girl in private, probably because of Gu Qingyuan, or to be more clear, it was the jade lock piece and the gold hairpin.
The reason why King Qin got the golden hairpin, Aunt Luo has already said, is that it was an old thing and was given to him by the old prime minister of the Ming Dynasty.
However, it was not given to him to confront anyone, nor was it given to him to come to Rencheng for the sake of his children's affair.
Over there in Kyoto.
"We can't go on like this. Ask Lu Wenze how it's going."
The words fell to the ground quietly, and King Qin entered the room at this moment.
When he came, everyone in the room stood up and saluted him. Even the most senior Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty also stood up and gave up his seat to King Qin.
The old Prime Minister of Ming Dynasty waved his hand and motioned for others to go down, leaving him and King Qin alone in the study.
"Your Highness, didn't you agree that you wouldn't come here?"
His tone was a little bad.
Everyone knows that the old prime minister of the Ming Dynasty was an independent minister and was only loyal to the emperor.
People from the prince's lineage also tried to win over the old Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty, but unexpectedly he was sternly rejected and the matter was reported to His Majesty.
At that time, he stood proudly in the center of the hall and spoke righteously,
"Your Majesty, now that you are in your prime, you can still sit on this throne for many more years. My loyalty is only given to Your Majesty, and I hope that others will not do anything extraordinary."
Literati always speak in a formal manner, carry their book bags and talk about big principles.
But at that moment, Old Prime Minister Ming's words were so shocking that he didn't even think that he had dropped his book bag.
"Pei Xiaosan is not in Beijing, who else will find out what we are doing?"
"The prince's sick young man would have died long ago if Pei Xiaosan hadn't taken care of him."
King Qin sighed in admiration,
"The Pei family is really willing to be the prince's slaves. The legitimate sons in the family can use it to curry favor with the queen and the prince."
The old Prime Minister Ming looked at King Qin's proud face and sighed silently in his heart.
"Your Highness, when I gave you the hairpin, I didn't ask you to drive Madam Gu out of the capital, but to let you pinch her..."
It's true that there is more than enough success and more than failure.
