For An Chenzhi's heart, Chen Qianchen specially accompanied her to dinner before returning to Chengguang Palace. At this time, the sky had completely darkened and the moon was on the top of the willows.

In the dark night sky, the crescent moon is like a hook, emitting a silver light, the night is hazy and cicadas are chirping.

Walking along the way, there are lanterns hanging on both sides of the road. From a distance, it looks like fireflies.

As soon as Chen Qianchen returned to Chengguang Palace, Jingfeng told her that Gu Jue had already returned.

Chen Qianchen was excited and rushed into the study room in a blink of an eye.

"Jiuxia!"

As soon as she entered the room, she smelled the faint fragrance of ink and the scent of painting in the air, and the tip of her nose moved.

Gu Jue stood behind the desk and wrote his pen.

He had already taken a shower and changed his clothes, his black hair was half loosely tied behind his head, wearing a wide moon-white Taoist robe, and exuded a lazy and comfortable atmosphere all over his body.

Just looking at him, Chen Qianchen's heart would calm down and he couldn't help but smile, and his heart seemed to be filled with something.

Gu Jue heard the movement of someone entering the house, put down his pen, waved to Chen Qianchen, and said softly: "I just drew a painting, do you want to see it?"

His smile gently brushed over like the cool breeze of the summer night.

Drawing?! Chen Qianchen's eyes lit up in an instant, and he remembered what he had said during the day: "Have you painted it?"

She couldn't wait to walk to him, stood side by side with him, and admired the ink painting in front of her with undried ink marks.

The scenes in the painting are very familiar, and they are the place where they pick flowers and herbs during the day.

Compared with Gu Jue, who was thirteen years old, the skills of this painting are naturally more skillful and more ease, and the artistic conception revealed by the two paintings is very different. If the painting he painted at the age of thirteen represents the arrogance and madness of a young man, then the picture in front of him is a kind of calmness without fear of wind and rain.

Chen Qianchen's eyes finally solidified on the two black and red horses in the lower right corner of the drawing paper, and the corners of his lips raised, as if this moment in the painting was eternal.

"I'll frame this painting tomorrow!" Chen Qianchen said with a smile.

When he came to paint, she came to frame it, and the husband and wife followed him.

Chen Qianchen carefully admired the painting for a while, found a missing place, and waved to Gu Jue: "You have not signed it!"

Gu Jue wrote the pen and wrote it out. Chen Qianchen volunteered to help him stamp the painting. Finally, he was satisfied and remembered the serious matter in his heart.

She took Gu Jue's hand and walked to the window to sit down, and said coquettishly: "Jiuxia, please help me check Pei Linye!"

Last month at Shen's house, Chen Qianhuang told her about Pei Linye's proposal of marriage. After Chen Qianchen returned to the palace that day, he told Gu Jue about this, so Gu Jue also knew about it.

Gu Jue saw that Chen Qianchen was in a good mood, so he could guess that there might be some good news on Chen Zhi.

He smiled and said, "What do you want to know?"

Chen Qianchen felt that Gu Jue must have known Pei Linye more than her. After thinking about it, he said, "Then let's talk about it from the Pei family." She snuggled on his shoulders with attachment.

While touching her hair gently, Gu Jue talked about the Pei family.

The Pei family is a family of military generals, and from Pei Linye to the next five generations, they were all military generals.

Pei Linye's father Pei Tingyang was a third-rank general Zhaowu, and now he guarded Youzhou. Pei Linye was his eldest son and lost his mother at the age of five. Later, after Pei Tingyang was mourning for a year, he married Xia, the cousin of Duke Mu's wife, as a successor.

The Pei family was still harmonious. Xia later added a second brother and two sisters to Pei Linye. There were two other concubines in the family, each of whom was married.

After talking about the Pei family, Gu Jue began to talk about Pei Linye again: "Pei Linye was clean when he was in the north, and he had no bad habits of drinking or gambling. He was taciturn, careful, brave and resourceful, and made many military achievements in the north..."

"In the past, there were also many people who matched him in the North, but he refused."

Speaking of this, Gu Jue suddenly remembered that Tang Yuchu had drunk a few years ago and said to Pei Linye jokingly: "Old Pei, you are so bored. Whoever marrys you in the future will definitely be bored!"

Gu Jue usually doesn't care about his subordinates' private affairs unless the other party asks him to come, so he never advises Pei Linye to get married as soon as possible, nor does he ask why the other party doesn't get married.

At this moment, he thought again that Pei Linye had not married for many years, so he could guess why.

Chen Qianchen rubbed Gu Jue's shoulder, his voice soft and soft: "That means, is Pei Linye not bad?"

"It's good." Gu Jue smiled meaningfully, "He's a person with heart!"

Chen Qianchen first said "um" and then said with a smile: "It must be no match for my Jiuxia!" Her mouth was as sweet as if she had been smeared with honey.

Gu Jue was very helpful and bowed his head and kissed her on the corner of her lips.

No one can compare to his little girl!

Gu Jue silently calculated the time in his heart: it was almost time, it was less than twenty days before she and the hairpin.

Under the reflection of the candlelight, his pupils seemed to be rippling with golden light, and even his eyelashes seemed to be jumping.

When it comes to Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive.

At this time, Jiang Yuanlai reported that Pei Linye was coming, so Gu Jue let him in directly.

Pei Linye was wearing a big red python robe, with a tall figure and firm eyebrows. He had been busy all day, but he did not see any fatigue at all.

Judging from the little grass chips stained with him and the soil on his soap boots, he was probably just coming out of the hunting ground.

Chen Qianchen looked at Pei Linye up and down, as if he wanted to see through him inside and out.

Pei Linye naturally saw her, and bowed to the two of them with a normal expression. Without further ado, he simply reported the matter: "Jiu Master, Zhu Yong chased the surviving three wolves and found the wolf's nest. He found that a kind of medicine powder was sprinkled in the wolf's nest, a female wolf who was killed and two newly-term little wolf cubs."

"This is the powder in the wolf's den."

Pei Linye took out a paper bag from his sleeve and presented it to Gu Jue. The brown powder wrapped in the oil paper with half a fingernail.

Gu Jue handed the paper bag to Chen Qianchen. Chen Qianchen looked at the powder, sniffed the smell again, and then confirmed it.

She nodded and said that this is Xiyuecao.

Based on these existing clues, Gu Jue and Shen Qianchen have already been able to roughly understand the causes and consequences-

Someone went to the wolf's den today to kill the female wolf and the little wolf cub, and also gave the head wolf the powder of the Xiyue grass to stimulate the hatred and bloodiness of the head wolf, and guided the crazy head wolf to chase and kill Gu Jue.

Gu Jue said lightly: "The wolf is cold-blooded to the enemy, but he is loyal to the population, unswerving to his partner until death, and even more caring for the cubs... The head wolf should have come after me."

Smell? Chen Qianchen thought, held Gu Jue's hand, and said affirmatively: "Fragrance, maybe it is Hengwuxiang."

Gu Jue's close-fitting things are not so easy to be successful by outsiders, so what Chen Qianchen can think of is "scent".

On weekdays, Gu Jue only uses two kinds of incense, one is Hengwuxiang, and Gu Jue's daily clothes are smoked with Hengwuxiang; the other is the sachet she made by herself, which is made of the spices in it by herself, which has the effect of concentrating and calming the mind. In addition to Gu Jue, she only gave the sachets to a few relatives and friends.

Chen Qianchen felt that he was still careless and thought that in the future, whether it was the spices for Gu Jue to smoke clothes or the sachets he used, he had to use her special spices, a spice that only belonged to her and him.

Gu Jue and Pei Linye looked at each other, thinking about it.

Chen Qianchen was thinking, and Jingfeng came in with a thin-eyed Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei respectfully clasped his fists and replied: "Your Majesty, I have just taken down the person who drugged the wolf, and the person has been taken outside the hall."

Gu Jue's knuckles knocked on the coffee table twice, then got up and asked Chen Qianchen, "Let's take a look?"

Of course I have to go! Chen Qianchen also got up.

Seeing this, the thin-eyed Jinyiwei wanted to speak but stopped, for fear that the queen would be scared by the villain outside. But when he saw Pei Linye silent, he remained silent.

Several people surrounded Gu Jue and Chen Qianchen and came outside the hall.

Two chairs were placed under the eaves outside the main hall, and two rows of tall and mighty Jinyiwei stood on both sides of the hall, all of whom were holding torches in their hands, illuminating the open space in front of Chengguang Hall.

I saw a strong man in black kneeling on the ground in a mess, with messy hair, his arms tied behind him by several circles of ropes, and several scars on his face, shoulders and arms, emitting a faint smell of blood.

After Gu Jue sat down, he made a gesture to Pei Linye. Pei Linye immediately understood and began to interrogate the man in black who was kneeling on the ground: "Tell me, who instructed you?"

The man in black said nothing, his lips pursed into a straight line.

Pei Linye snapped his fingers.

The next moment, a square-faced Jinyiwei took action like lightning and directly removed the shoulder joint of the man in black. The man in black shook his body slightly, but did not make any sound. He clenched his teeth tightly and sweated from his forehead.

"Tell me, who instructed you?" Pei Linye asked again.

The man in black still didn't speak, his waist was straight.

Pei Linye raised his hand and snapped his fingers again.

As a result, the other side of the man in black was removed, and the cold sweat became denser and his lips were almost bitten and bleeding.

The square-faced Jinyiwei said lightly: "Next time I will break your knee joint." The removed shoulder joint can be taken back, but the broken knee joint cannot recover as before, and he will be a useless person.

"Bah! What's your thing? You rely on your power!" The man in black spat on the ground and gritted his teeth.

Then, a line of black blood spilled out of the corner of his mouth, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

He spitted out more black blood from his mouth, and his body fell softly to the side. His eyes widened from beginning to end, like the wolf who was shot to death by Gu Jue, and he died with his eyes closed.

Even if Chen Qianchen hadn't pried open his teeth and looked at it, he could be sure that he committed suicide by taking poison.

This is a well-trained deathman!

The surroundings were quiet, and the night breeze brought the sound of insects in the distance.

"His Beijing dialect is really not very good!" Chen Qianchen stroked his sleeves and said something casually, but it was actually meaningful.

Everyone present heard the strange accent of the dead soldier. He couldn't tell the difference between "you" and "Li". The sentence before his death, "What are you" was pronounced as if "What are you"?

This is a problem that many people in Nanhao often make when speaking Qi language.

The thin-eyed Jinyiwei looked at Chen Qianchen in surprise. Unexpectedly, the queen, a delicate little woman, was so calm when she saw this bloody scene and could still chat and laugh.

"Yes." Gu Jue agreed, and then ordered Pei Linye to say, "Pei Linye, go and call the third prince Nanhao and the second princess over."
