"The empress is a concubine, but she visits foreign ministers. I'm afraid that this matter is not in compliance with the rules of the palace."

Listening to the yin and yang of the gatekeeper's eunuch, Yuan Luo said coldly: "The palace is instructed to assist Liu Cairen in the memorial service behind him. It is checking the number of details. On that day, the foreman Gu interrogated Xiangming and other auspicious palace members. ask."

The **** had nothing to say.

Yuan Luo and his party entered the gate.

The premises of the Shen Xing Division were neat and quiet, and it didn't look as dark as the rumors. It's just that occasionally a little bit of wailing and screaming from an unknown room gave the plain courtyard a gloomy atmosphere.

Cai Yunheng said in a low voice anxiously next to him: "I have been arrested for most of the day, and it is said that it has been ordered by Kunning Palace."

Yuan Luo was not surprised. Wei Xi, a foreign minister, could not directly order the Department of Penalty. It must be through the order of Queen Wei.

Queen Wei, you are pitting your future husband!

After a few turns, I quickly reached the inner prison, in a single room, and saw Gu Yi sitting in the corner.

Seeing them coming in, the leader was Yuan Luo, and the boy showed an unexpected expression. Soon his eyes fell on Cai Yunheng, full of disapproval.

Yuan Luo looked at him and asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's just that I have been detained for most of the day without drinking water, and my stomach is panicked." Gu Yi said flatly, "Thank you for your concern."

What he actually wanted to ask more was that he was a foreign minister after all. Yuan Luo, as a concubine, would not cause gossip when visiting him?

He glanced over Yuan Luo, paused on the bruise on her throat, and then over Cai Yunheng behind him. Although the two of them had arranged their clothes, the scars could not be erased.

Gu Yi's eyes tightened: "Someone is rude to the empress."

He used affirmative sentences. Yuan Luo nodded, "There was a little disturbance on the road. This is a trivial matter, so don't worry."

Gu Yi's clear eyes were full of haze, and he lowered his gaze: "Because of me, it was my guilt and Yunheng's troublesome to disturb my mother."

"What's going on this half day, but what is someone forced to ask you?" Yuan Luo stared at his stiff figure.

I have seen Gu Yi several times. The young boy’s sitting posture is always as straight as a sword, with bright eyesight. There was a bit of stiffness in front of him, and he hadn't changed since he came in, and if there was a **** smell floating in the air, he must have been tortured.

"This is a trivial matter, you don't have to worry about it." This guy used the same words to prevaricate Yuan Luo's worries. He lowered his eyes, "I and Jie Yu are not related to each other, because of my business, it has been a lot tired. Yun Heng, you send your empress out first."

Cai Yunheng is anxious: "Ayi, you..."

Yuan Luo felt distressed and helpless again, "Do you know why you were locked up?"

Gu Yi laughed: "I know a thing or two, but there is nothing wrong with it."

Cai Yunheng lowered his voice: "Jin Wuwei's Wang Ba Lao, Wei Xi's conscientious thing, the investigation can't find out, but I want to find you to blame."

"Don't worry about it. My life and death are not in your own hands. The one who wanted me to die would have killed him without a charge. If he didn't want me to die, he would have committed a heinous crime. It can pass successfully."

Yuan Luo was stunned before realizing that the "that one" here refers to who. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly. It turned out that this guy was so calm, his confidence was actually in him.

Out of a subtle curiosity, Yuan Luo blurted out and asked: "Why do you think the imperial concubine will protect you from death?"

"I don't know, maybe it is to win people's hearts. After all, the rest of the Gu family has been treated leniently. Even if she wants to kill me, she will have to completely control the Gu family's soldiers and horses." Gu Yi hangs down. Sight.

Yuan Luo was speechless, she was thinking of the elite soldiers left by the Gu family. Gu Liangyong suffered a terrible defeat at the border, leaving behind 50,000 to 60,000 soldiers, who are all elites who have experienced many battles.

Cai Yunheng also relaxed a little, and immediately regained his humble nature.

"Maybe it depends on you being handsome, haha."

Yuan Luo was speechless, this kid should have been taken by Wei Xi's people.

"I heard that the imperial concubine and the two commanders have made a three-day agreement. Tomorrow is the time to come to the end. As long as I don't recognize it, I don't believe they can get out of the sky." Gu Yi said calmly, "You leave as soon as possible. This is not a place to stay for a long time."

Cai Yunheng lowered his head, took out a white porcelain bottle from his arms, and rolled in through the gap in the cell. "This is a wound medicine, you can use it first, don't leave the root of the disease."

Gu Yi smiled relaxedly, and joked: "It's just a small injury. The punishments in the palace are all idiots. The injuries in the army are heavier than this."

He spoke contemptuously, but the medicine bottle rolled to his feet, but he didn't pick it up.

Yuan Luo was in a heavy mood, and the punishment of the Department of Sentences might not be as good as external torture that would make people bloody, but its sinisterness and viciousness were even worse.

This day and night, the teenager suffered a lot, especially when he rejected Wei Xi's offer of perjury. For the rest of the time, I was afraid that the methods of torture would be even more vicious.

Yuan Luo thought for a while, and could only draw a salary. She comforted: "You can bear with me for the time being, you can go out soon."

Gu Yi nodded slightly and urged them to leave again.

***

After leaving the Shen Xing Division, Yuan Luo returned to the Zichen Hall, quickly packed her makeup, and deliberately added a fox fur collar to her neck to cover the bruises that Wei Xi pinched. Then took people to Kunning Palace.

For her visit at this hour, Queen Wei was surprised.

Concubine Zhuo Shu and Du Zhaoyi stood up and said, "The empress and concubine have important matters to discuss, so the concubines will not be disturbed." They just came to discuss with Queen Wei because of the banquet the day after.

"It's okay, within the palace, what can be important." Empress Wei raised her hand to block.

Yuan Luo ignored the concubine Zhuo Shu and Du Zhaoyi who were saluting, her eyes fell on Queen Wei's pretty face, and she asked straightforwardly: "I already know about Liu Cairen, right?"

"This..." Unexpectedly, Yuan Luo would bring up this matter, and Queen Wei was caught off guard and hesitated.

Concubine Zhuo Shu and Du Zhaoyi beside them couldn't help but show different colors. Liu Cairen's affairs were already heard by high-ranking concubines like them. The inner courtyard of the deep palace was tarnished, which was unheard of.

Queen Wei quickly turned her thoughts. Why did the imperial concubine bring up this matter? She is taking care of the affairs of the harem. Apart from her concubine's morning and evening greetings, and the banquet in her spare time, she has no power. Was it because you suspected that you had interfered and came to ask the crime?

auzw.com Yuan Luo smiled: "Since the lady is involved in this matter, do you still pretend not to know?"

Stimulated by these words, Queen Wei's cheeks flushed, "Such a major event is related to the safety of the harem. If these villains are not brought to justice as soon as possible, who can rest in the harem?"

Even if Yuan Luo came to ask the crime, she was not afraid. She was a righteous queen, and behind her was a high-ranking nobleman. How could she not be able to compete with the imperial concubine from a poor family, but her father told her to avoid her edge. At this time, the queen's money came out. Although young, it was also very majestic.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Luo laughed instead of anger, "It's very good for my mother to have this idea."

"Since the empress also feels that this villain should be brought to justice as soon as possible, it's better to recruit people to interrogate the truth."

Queen Wei was startled, "I heard that the imperial concubine and the two guards had agreed to see the difference in three days."

"The three-day period is just to allow the people of the two guards to investigate the case in detail. Now I heard that Jin Wuwei has made great progress in the case, and he has also discussed the arrest from the empress. Early or late, you can also ask in advance. The Sixth Palace is at ease." Turning his eyes, he fell on Concubine Zhuo Shu and Zhaoyi Du, "What do Concubine Shu and Zhaoyi think?"

Where did the two dare to say no words, they continued to say: "Emperor wise."

Queen Wei thought for a while, her brother had already caught the suspect before, and he nodded as soon as he gritted his teeth.

This kind of month-old puppy is not lethal, Yuan Luo squatted down, and immediately a **** smell came out. She only noticed that the puppy's hind legs and back were injured, and the injuries were serious and bloody.

Standing next to Gu Yi, his mood was a bit complicated. He recognized at a glance that this was the little black dog he had seen outside the guard post. Such a small dog, with such a severe injury, could crawl all the way. Come here.

The desire to live is so strong.

Gu Yi leaned down, regardless of the dirt, and picked up the puppy.

"Why is there a dog?" Yuan Luo asked in surprise. There are some wild cats in the palace, abandoned by concubines or court ladies, but there are absolutely no wild dogs, because wild dogs are easy to hurt people, and they are removed from the palace regularly.

"Crawled over from the guard station." Gu Yiyan briefly explained the previous incident.

"Oh, do you want to take it back and eat it?" Yuan Luo asked.

Gu Yi glanced at her with a complicated expression.

"I'm joking, a puppy with such a strong desire to survive, if eaten, would be too inhumane."

"But its injuries are quite serious, and I'm afraid it won't be able to hold it without treatment."

"I have golden sore medicine over there, but..." Gu Yi stopped talking.

Yuan Luo understood his scruples, and it was difficult to return to the guard with the "foodstuffs" so that his colleagues could not explain it. He said thoughtfully and authentically: "Send this little thing to the room first, or it will really freeze to death."

The two entered the inner hall, and Yuan Luo quickly took a semi-new mat from the seat and spread it on the side of the copper stove. Gu Yi put the puppy on it.

Gu Yi quickly left to get the medicine. Yuan Luo squatted by the copper stove, watching the little black dog curled up in a ball.

In fact, she was a bit afraid of dogs. When she was three or four years old, she was chased and bitten by a neighbor’s **** dog for half of the street. She didn’t escape until she threw down the sausage in her hand. Creatures like dogs have a sense of fear.

"I don't know if you grow up, will you become such an annoying dog?" Yuan Luo poked the little black dog on the mat.

The little thing whined weakly, milky milk. Its eyes widened, but their eyes were stubborn, and probably still a little wronged.

This look really resembles that kid, no wonder he sees you exactly as he did. Yuan Luo twitched the corners of her mouth and poked the puppy's head with the small branch next to her.

Humph, two mourning dogs.

Gu Yi walked in and saw Yuan Luo was "bullying" the puppy.

Yuan Luo hesitatedly dropped the small branch in his hand.

Gu Yi went and returned, not only brought back the golden sore medicine, but also an oil paper bag.

Watching Gu Yi skillfully sprinkle golden sore powder on the puppy's hind legs and wrap it in a bandage.

"Have you studied medicine before?" Yuan Luo chatted one after another.

"On the battlefield, the sword has no eyes. Sometimes after a big battle, the medical officer is too busy, and the colleagues often help each other."

Although he was still a thirteen-year-old boy, his mental and perseverance was far more mature than ordinary people, Yuan Luo thought secretly, but this idea was opened when Gu Yi took out a greased paper from his arms, revealing a few fleshy bones. At that time, it collapsed a bit.

"Wait, you don't want to feed it."

Gu Yi turned his head to look at her, with a puzzled look in his eyes.

Yuan Luo shook his head: "It's impossible for such a small dog to gnaw bones. The teeth are not fully grown, and the stomach can't digest it."

Gu Yi suddenly realized: "It's because I didn't think well." He immediately put away the flesh and bones.

"This kind of month-old puppy can at best be fed some milk cake or rice porridge. If there is dog milk, it would be fine. What about this puppy's family."

"They're all dead, I was drunk by the stew." Gu Yiyan was concise.

"Stew soup..." Yuan Luo couldn't help but fall on the fleshy bones that Gu Yi had taken out before.

Gu Yi had some black lines: "These are pig bones." No matter how frustrated he is, he won't feed him dog meat.

"I'm going to find food." Gu Yi stood up and left the hall again.

Yuan Luo watched his disappearance, turned her head and continued to look at each other with the puppy. Probably because of the tossing and cruelty before, the puppy was sluggish and drooped his eyelids.

Yuan Luo sighed, helplessly got up and poured a plate of warm water.

The puppy leaned on the edge of the plate, his pink tongue stuck out and licked the water.

After drinking two sips, Yuan Luo turned her head and looked around when she heard rapid footsteps behind her, and she froze. The cup in his hand also fell, and I was frightened.

Gu Yi quickly stepped into the side hall, carrying a giant in his hand.

It was a dog, it should be a dog, half a human tall, bright and majestic. Of course, if it hasn't been **** by the five flowers. In fact, the big dog's four paws were tightly trapped by the rope, tied into a knot, and Gu Yi held them upside down in his hand. Even the dog's mouth was beaten several times, and the whole dog was embarrassed.
