"This is impossible!" Su Zhongfu said in surprise.
"Although he already had a death wish after knowing that his mother died, he himself said that even if he died, he would send this secret to the Holy One before he died. What's more, he was born in a water town in the south of the Yangtze River and has excellent water qualities. How could this be possible?
He would commit suicide by diving into the water."
Gu Yu lowered his eyes. The water was very good. Could it be that Zhu Jianchun took advantage of the boat to explode and ran away, so the body could not be found?
This possibility is extremely slim, but not impossible.
She knocked her hands on the table and sorted out all the information in her mind.
Looking at Su Zhongfu's reaction, I knew that he had said everything he needed to say and had nothing to hide.
Only then did Gu Yu tell him the truth: "It's not true. The official ship he was on was blown up by gunpowder. Not even his body was found."
Su Zhongfu frowned, knowing that he was being tested by Gu Yu, but he had a good temper and did not feel unhappy because of Gu Yu's distrust.
Said: "Shizi Gu is a cautious person. If he is determined, he will definitely find out the truth."
Gu Yu seemed to relax suddenly, and said slowly: "Magistrate Su, please don't put a high hat on me. I don't want to find out the truth at all. The matter of Zhu Jianchun has nothing to do with me. Tonight, you haven't seen me, and I have nothing to do with it."
Never seen you."
Su Zhongfu was anxious: "If the Crown Prince doesn't want to find out the truth, why did he come to ask me? I think the Crown Prince proposed the symposium because he must have a heart for the common people and tell everything he knows. Otherwise, even if Zhu Jianchun dies, I will
Keep the words he told me rotten in your stomach."
Gu Yu looked at his face, which was still handsome despite his age, and sighed:
"Magistrate Su, the eldest princess was really blind back then, so she paid no attention to you. Don't worry, now that I know, I won't just sit back and ignore you."
After all, the Gu family crest is still in the hands of the broom star, so she can't be alone if she wants to.
Su Zhongfu's expression changed again, and he said angrily: "My lord, you don't have to test me in every possible way."
Gu Yu patted his shoulder: "You still have to do it, otherwise why are you so tight-lipped? You didn't even tell the eldest princess, but when I asked, you acted like a fool."
Su Zhongfu's frown never relaxed tonight. He rubbed his forehead, yes, why did he say that.
The Gu Shizi in front of him, who was not as good as a weak crown, was too difficult to resist.
At this time, there was a growling sound in the stomach.
Gu Yu couldn't help but hold his forehead. As soon as his mind stopped, his stomach began to growl, so he said: "Magistrate Su, I'll take my leave first."
Su Zhongfu felt that talking to Gu Yu was more tiring than dealing with official documents for a day, so he said: "Prince Gu, please go slowly."
Before leaving, Gu Yu warned him: "Magistrate Su, Zhu Jianchun is dead. This matter is not trivial. No one knows how far it will develop, so don't let a third person know, even if the eldest princess asks.
Let's wait for the news to reach Kyoto and see what His Majesty's attitude is. If His Majesty wants to investigate, I will recommend myself to go there. If His Majesty wants to suppress it, we will pretend that we don't know about it.
The most important thing now is the symposium, do you understand? Since you have shouldered so much for the students all over the world, the reform of the imperial examination system is just around the corner, so don’t mess it up."
Su Zhongfu solemnly replied: "I understand!"
"Farewell."
When Gu Yu went out, it was already dark, and there were not many pedestrians on the street. She galloped on her horse, trying to relieve the depression in her heart.
The night was as thick as ink that could not be melted away. The evening breeze blew across my cheeks, unable to take away all the worries.
She knew the road to the imperial court was difficult, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult.
Anyone can become a variable, and if there is a slight mistake, everything will be lost.
I don't know how long she ran before she returned home covered in night dew.
The Duke's Mansion was quiet. She returned to the courtyard. Luo Yan was still asleep, so she ordered: "Prepare a cake for me."
She needs sugar to relieve her anxiety.
"Yes, Your Majesty." Luo Yan also left.
She closed the door, took off her clothes, and by the candlelight, she saw a black and purple dog paw print on her left shoulder.
The broom star is really ruthless.
She held the medicine and pressed it on the bruise, then pushed it away little by little.
The pain made her body wake up again after a day's fatigue.
It is certain that King Xiaoyao will support the fifth prince, and she must also pave the way for the sixth prince.
The two people are in different camps and are destined to fight to the death.
No matter why King Xiaoyao hid the Gu family crest from her, she couldn't let her take any chances.
She will never be soft-hearted in the face of life and death.
"Knock knock knock."
There was a knock on the door. Gu Yu pulled up her clothes and said, "Come in."
The person who came in was not Luo Yan, but her sister Gu Qiong.
The younger sister held the food plate and said, "Don't eat cakes at night, as they are not easy to digest. I cooked a bowl of lily and lotus seed sweet soup for my brother to warm his stomach."
Gu Yu smiled, washed her hands, and sat down to drink.
After a bowl of hot soup, I feel much better.
"Why are you still up so late?" Gu Yu asked.
"I don't know. I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. I thought about a lot of things, but I felt like I didn't think about anything. I was walking in the yard and saw Luoyan preparing a supper for my brother, so I took over."
It was quiet at night, and Gu Qiong's voice was also very soft when he spoke.
Gu Yu lowered her eyes. This was not unexpected. Her sister had been kept in a boudoir all year round. When she suddenly went out and saw the outside world, she should not be able to sleep.
He said: "Don't think too much, and don't put too much pressure on yourself."
I just heard my sister say: "I want to do something, but I don't know what I can do after thinking about it. I can play the piano, write poetry, and embroider, but it seems to be of no use."
Gu Yu told the truth: "It's useless if you leave it outside."
These things are the icing on the cake for the noble daughter, but for her sister, they have the side effect of forcing herself to compose new words.
I still remember that in the late spring when I was eleven or twelve years old, my sister gave her a piece of red paper with tears stained on it while sobbing. What did her sister say at that time?
"Last night the east wind was ruthless, blowing away thousands of cherry blossoms and snow. I made this poem and gave it to my brother for appreciation."
She opened the red paper, which was full of spring flowers and autumn moon, but there were two words written between the lines: hypocritical.
But she couldn't bear to hurt her sister's self-esteem, so after reading it, she said it was well written.
But who doesn’t have a young age?
When she was eleven or twelve years old in modern times, she was still licking the plate in the orphanage and drinking water like a pug.
On the other hand, her younger sister can write poetry, which is much better than her.
My sister continued: "I used to look down on those farmers and businesswomen, thinking their words and deeds were vulgar, but now I know how difficult it is to take good care of such a big field and run a small stall."
It is not easy for them to be born and live a hard life. On the other hand, I have no worries about food and clothing every day, but I am sad about the spring and autumn. I spend my time in vain. When I look back, I feel confused."
Gu Yu raised his eyebrows: "It would be great if you think so."
Gu Qiong's eyebrows were serious and she said: "So brother, tell me, what can I do?"
