If she regained her simplicity, then should she blame herself for driving Gu Xi out of the general's mansion and causing her to be abandoned in the brothel?

"I hope my sister's words are sincere."

She continued walking forward, her smile fading.

Gu Xi caught up with her footsteps, grabbed her arm and said, "Wanqing. I know you blame me. I have caused you hardship for the first half of my life, but after this, I have no other wishes for the second half of my life. The one with my father and mother is like an ice cellar, I don't plan to go back at all. I can't face Brother Che. I'm thinking of making up for you with the second half of my life."

Gu Wanqing took off one of her golden hairpin, took it with her for Gu Xi, and said with a slight smile: "I won't mention the past. After entering the palace, be careful in your words and actions, and wait for me to take you home."

...

As soon as Gu Xi left the mansion, he was sent into another carriage by the people around the prince.

Rong He planned to return to the palace immediately, but Bai Ling had to ride a horse to follow, as if there was still a lot to say.

Gu Wanqing stood at the door of the mansion, staring at the direction of the carriage and carriages away, as if looking at the unknown front.

It's been a big deal recently.

The servants watching at the gate of the mansion originally wanted to invite the general to return home and prepare for dinner, but when they looked closely, Mr. Bai was still here!

Bai Jue brought a white horse, held Gu Wanqing's shoulder, and "leave."

"Where are you going?" Gu Wanqing tried her best and finally sent away a Buddha. There was actually another one here.

The two of them had their eyes intersected, and Gu Wanqing's breathing was tightened unconsciously.

"Drink with me."

"I won't go! I still have something to deal with." She tried hard to break free.

Going to drink with Bai Jue isn’t that going to fall into the trap?

After that night, she hadn't figured out how to face Bai Jue.

Bai Jue pretended not to hear, blocked her waist, dragged her up and threw it onto the horse's back.

Gu Wanqing grabbed the reins and barely stabilized them, but the warm chest was quickly pressed over from behind.

Bai Jue lowered his body and grabbed the reins, which was close to her hands.

Gu Wanqing let go and hugged the horse's neck, "What are you doing?"

Bai Jue pondered: "There is only one horse, let's go together. Drive--"

When the horse's hooves were racing and bumping, Bai Jue carefully protected Gu Wanqing in front of his arms.

In fact, Gu Wanqing's equestrian skills are very good. He doesn't need to pull the reins and is also careful to be afraid that she will fall down.

Every time she bumped on the horse's back, she could feel Bai Jue's wide and powerful shoulders and chest.

The temperature of that night is still fresh in memory.

The faint fragrance of flowers that blew with the wind and the herbs that had not dissipated from Bai Jue's body made the air along the way seem to be so monotonous.

...

Zuiyang Tower.

Here are the most expensive wines in Quanyan Ancheng and the best view.

The breeze blows the veil in the west attic, and here you can see the glorious night of Yan'an City.

Gu Wanqing and Bai Jue sat behind a bunch of screens. It was quiet and suitable for conversation.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince may be a little inappropriate today. Are you angry?" Bai Jue asked.

Gu Wanqing threw a peanut, sighed heavily, looked at the night view outside the window and said, "It is common for the prince to suffer a sudden disaster. I will not blame him for his psychological changes. I am just worried that he will cause trouble when he keeps Gu Xi by his side."

"Brother will take good care of him." Bai Jue tried to give her a reassurance.

Perhaps in their eyes, Bai Ling does make people feel safe, but for Gu Wanqing, she has always only felt safe enough for herself.

Gu Wanqing asked, "Is the prince tied up by the second prince? Is there really no way?"

Bai Jue shook his head, "It's not that there is no way, it's that he can't help but not hurt His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but also punish the second prince."

After all, the word sanction is still inaccurate.

Kings of all dynasties have always been bloody, intrigue and assassination and frame-up methods have emerged one after another.

As long as you become the king in the end, no one will care about what the winner is.

"The prince is a good person. I hope he can succeed the throne safely in the future and no more troubles will occur." Gu Wanqing sincerely prayed.

For the first time, she was in the turbulent state of the government, and she was still scared.

Bai Jue stared at Gu Wanqing's bright and fair forehead. When he lowered his head, his long eyelashes slowly swelled, which coincided with the face deep in his memory.

"Wanqing, that night..."

"Wine comes, wine comes!"

The guy shouted loudly, walked over with a very ritual sense, carefully putting down the wine that looked very delicate even the wine pot.

The white jade wine pot is placed in it, and the fragrance is everywhere.

Bai Jue threw down a piece of silver and said dissatisfiedly: "Go away."

"Yes, yes, yes, please taste it slowly, both of you."

Bai Jue arranged the wine glasses and filled them with them.

The wine is crystal clear, quite like the dewdrops in the early morning of autumn.

Gu Wanqing picked up the wine glass and shook it, "Your illness is not cured yet, can you drink it?"

"Not hindrance." Bai Jue closed his sleeves and put his glass in place, "How much does the general drink?"

"Just that."

Gu Wanqing was embarrassed to say that she could drink beer, foreign wine, and white wine. She thought this ancient wine was hard to drink. She could not judge the amount of alcohol even after drinking it a few times.

Bai Jue lifted the wine pot and introduced: "This wine is called Zui Jiuxian, which varies from person to person. Some people don't pour a thousand cups, while others pour a glass of one cup."

Gu Wanqing said in a slanted manner: "It seems that Mr. Bai must be the one who can't fall into a thousand cups, right?"

Bai Jue curled his lips and smiled slightly, "Shame."

Gu Wanqing secretly despised her and refused to admit defeat. Her alcohol tolerance is much better than that of ordinary people, and she will definitely not pour it into a glass.

She pinched the wine glass and came closer to smell it. It turned out that the wine was so fragrant.

"How is the case progressing?" Bai Jue asked.

Gu Wanqing put down the wine glass and said seriously: "The murderer is probably Qin Xixue."

When Bai Jue heard this name, he was a little surprised, "Is there any evidence?"

"Yes. When Lord Tao and I were searching for the remaining corpses in the market, someone said that we had seen Miss Xue come and was holding a bloody bag in my hand. That should be part of the corpse. In Huayan Building, she was the only one who could enter and exit freely. The motive was probably that her sister was bullied by those three people and disappeared, so she had the intention to kill herself."

This is how it has been going on in the past few days.

Whether it is motivation or testimony, these all point to Qin Xixue.

"Has the person been arrested?"

"Not yet, because of her special identity, I am afraid that this matter will be a big deal. Moreover... Qin Xixue is a friend of the little marquis. Whether he needs to be informed of this matter, it is also easy to interrogate it carefully during the interrogation process."

In addition, Gu Wanqing also feels that there are many things that cannot be explained.

If these places are not straightened out and people are caught rashly, they are likely to be let go just like this.
