Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times - Chapter 65

This Gu Yun has never heard Fang Zhan mention it, so it’s worth not mentioning such a sad thing.

“Since his family’s incense is not prosperous, why is he in his twenties and hasn’t married yet?” Gu Yun was even more curious about this.

In ancient times, ordinary men would marry wives and have children when they were about strong and weak. Fang Zhan is almost in his third year, but he doesn’t even have a fiancée, which is very different among the children of aristocratic families who married early.

“I don’t know about that.” Although Jiang Libai had heard these gossips, she didn’t know much about this matter.

Seeing that Gu Yun had finished washing her feet, she got into bed and started to ask about the water leakage, “What did you discover today? Can you find out who set the fire?”

Gu Yun took the washbasin out and closed the door again.

“Princess, do you know where or those people will be contaminated with the smell of snow?” Gu Yun felt a clear, cold breath of snow in the place where the arsonist stayed today.

The smell of soaking in the snow for many years is too unique, not like the smell emanating from the people in Beijing.

And now in midsummer, there is no place where it is snowing around.

“Snow?” Jiang Libai was at a loss.

Gu Yun nodded: “Yes, Xue’s breath.”

Seeing that Gu Yun spoke seriously, although Jiang Libai felt that it was unusual for her to be able to perceive Xue’s breath, she was also thinking about it slowly in her mind.

Now that summer is hot, there is no possibility of snow in central Beijing. Let alone Beijing, there is no place where it snows in the whole country of Yu.

If Yu Country doesn’t have it…

Jiang Libai gave a low “Yeah”, and then she hurriedly said to Gu Yun: “Located in the north of Yunguo, the temperature is relatively low all year round, and it is covered with snow all year round.”

Cloud country?

Gu Yun remembered that the last time he heard about Yun Guo was when the second prince Jiang Shen rebelled.

Then this time, the person who set fire to the capital of Yu Country was also related to Yun Country?

The woman had a thoughtful face, her long and narrow eyes drooped, and the dim candlelight at the end of her eyes made her look extremely soft and peaceful at this moment.

Jiang Libai stretched out her hand, poked her face, tilted her head and asked, “What did Sister Gu think of? Could it be that the fire in Beijing is related to Yunguo?”

Gu Yun held her warm fingertips, rubbed them unconsciously, and whispered the strange things he found in various shops in the afternoon.

In the cool and peaceful house, only the faint whisper of the night wind mixed with some clear whispers can be heard.

“…You mean, you smelled snow at the place where the fire was set?” Jiang Libai was a little surprised.

But Gu Yun is a fairy who came down from the stars, so she has a better sense of smell, so it should be normal, right?

“So, you think it might be the people from Yun Country who started the fire?”

Gu Yun is 80% sure that the person who set the fire was from the country of Yun, but whether someone else deliberately bought the people of the country of Yun… She is not too sure about this.

Regarding Jiang Libai’s doubts, she continued to express her thoughts.

With Gu Yun’s affirmation, Jiang Libai fell into deep thought at the moment.

“No, the matter is very important. Tomorrow afternoon, I will enter the palace to say hello to my mother and concubine.”

Gu Yun covered her with a quilt, nodded after thinking for a while: “That’s fine, then do you want to have dinner in the palace tomorrow? I’ll pick you up as soon as I get off duty?”

Jiang Libai hugged her arm, and nestled into her arms comfortably: “Then I will ask my concubine to move the dinner time back, and wait until you come together.”

This is… a family, right?

Gu Yun’s thoughts surged, and he was already very satisfied with this kind of treatment.

Lying on the bed now, Jiang Libai had already started to feel sleepy, she closed her eyes, and asked slowly: “Did you tell that golden lump of Fang’s family about what you found out today?”

This matter is the first extremely important matter that Gu Yun handles after taking office, and it must be treated with caution. When there is no conclusive evidence, it is better not to be the first bird.

“No, I didn’t tell him.” Gu Yun leaned on Jiang Libai’s head, rubbing his chin lightly

With her soft blue hair, “Princess, Chen Yanghou Mansion…is it really a royalist party?”

It was a strange question, but Jiang Libai understood what she meant.

She moved back a little, looked up at her, with a hint of confusion in her tone: “Are you suspicious of the other’s son?”

But Chen Yanghou has always been a royalist. Because of his strict and low-key family style, the Fang family never participated in the matter of seizing the heir. This is why the Fang family gradually declined and moved away from the power center of the court.

“Is there something wrong with him?”

Gu Yun thought for a while, “It’s not that something is wrong, it’s just my intuition, I always feel that he is a little strange sometimes.”

“But what’s strange, and some things can’t be said.”

For such an ambiguous statement, Jiang Libai must have chosen to believe Gu Yun.

“Since you think there is something wrong with him, then don’t trust him too much in the future. It’s good that you didn’t tell him what you found out today. If you did, maybe he will suspect that you have some supernatural powers. Or directly guess whether you have an affair with another country, and deliberately lead this matter to Yun Guo…”

The first point is fine, and it is easy to clear up the relationship between the gods and gods. However, if it was suspected that the Jin State might be instigating behind the scenes, trying to cause constant conflicts between the Yun State and the Yu State, then it would be difficult to clear up the suspicion.

Especially… Gu Yun was originally the “Prince” of the Jin Kingdom.

The more Jiang Libai thought about it, the more she felt that Gu Yun was very dangerous, and her drowsiness gradually subsided, she hurriedly grabbed Gu Yun’s hand: “I didn’t think carefully just now, I’d better not go into the palace and talk about it with my concubine tomorrow.”

After her mother and concubine found out, she must have told her father and emperor.

Although she was able to convince her mother and concubine to believe in Gu Yun, she was not sure if her father would be suspicious of Gu Yun after knowing that the arson incident was related to the people of Yunguo and was revealed by Gu Yun.

After all, the heart of an emperor has always been difficult to guess.

She didn’t dare to gamble.

“It doesn’t matter.” Gu Yun didn’t care about this matter, “When I left, I quietly marked the place with the smell of cold snow. If those people searched carefully, they would be able to find those weird places tomorrow morning. here.”

“What mark?” Jiang Libai was curious.

The girl looked cute and charming with her head up, her big round eyes were full of the starlight of seeking knowledge.

Gu Yun smiled and nodded her small nose, “Although the smell is light and subtle, it is extremely difficult to detect, but if someone checks carefully, he can notice the smell of cold snow there.”

“So in order to attract their attention, I have amplified the smell there a little bit.” Although this consumes her mental power, it will not expose her and attract attention.

Gu Yun didn’t say it clearly, so Jiang Libai didn’t ask any more questions. Gu Yun has supernatural powers different from those of them, maybe she won’t understand even if she told her.

In short, as long as Gu Yun always has her in his heart, it is enough.

There is no need to pursue the rest of the matter too carefully.

You can never go wrong with space and leeway between each other.

“Then after reporting this matter tomorrow, just wait for the emperor to make up his own mind. I will go to the palace to accompany my mother and concubine, and I will not talk about this matter.”

Gu Yun smiled: “It’s all up to you.”

In the dead of night, the whispers between the wives and wives slowly disappeared into the night until dawn.

…

After Gu Yun deliberately magnified the smell, the people from Wucheng Bingmasi did find out.

It’s just that their people couldn’t tell what it was there. After someone suggested to invite a person with a keen sense of smell to take a look, the people from Wucheng Bingma Division rushed to invite an expert who was very familiar with all kinds of smells.

Although this sounds a bit bizarre, the author really felt what the smell of those places was.

“…Snow, it’s snow.” The man stroked his beard and frowned.

People around looked at each other: “Blood? Human blood? Chicken blood? Or dog blood?”

The old Wu Zuo sniffed it carefully again: “It’s the snow that fell in winter, not the blood that bleeds out after being injured.”

With such a conclusion, the investigators hurriedly launched a wider search and reported the news.

All of a sudden, all civil and military officials who thought it was just a trivial matter became vigilant.

Jiang Libai can think of Yun Guo, and these courtiers who are very sensitive to the government can naturally think of Yun Guo.

Especially after experiencing the collusion between the second prince Jiang Shen and Yun Guo, they had to be more serious.

After hearing the news, Emperor Yu decided to hand over the fire in Beijing to the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple for investigation, and ordered them to investigate the incident within ten days.

And secretly sent a message to the army stationed on the northern border to keep them vigilant at all times, and secretly dispatched scouts to investigate any conspiracy in Yunguo.

Beijing is no exception.

After this incident, the people of Wucheng Bingmasi were required to patrol more intensively. Everyone who entered the city had to be searched carefully, and no suspicious person was allowed to appear in Beijing.

If it is found that there are suspicious people in Beijing, they must first be arrested and investigated.

With such thunderous means going on, the original comfortable and idle atmosphere in Beijing disappeared immediately.

Many people dare not go out, for fear of being arrested without saying a word.

…

Inside the five princess mansion.

In the quiet and elegant back garden, after releasing a carrier pigeon, Jiang Ying pushed the wheelchair and left slowly.

All the way back to the study, she looked at the person who was already sitting in the lower chair, and put the note she just got in front of him.

“Before, Jiang Shen had given the distribution map of central Beijing to Yunguo, so the purpose of Yunguo’s secret infiltration into the capital this time is actually you and Jiang Wei.”

There was no warmth in Jiang Ying’s voice, which made Jiang Heng shiver involuntarily.

After reading the note, he also frowned.

Unexpectedly, that idiot Jiang Shen was so bold that he would dare to hand over the distribution map of central Beijing and the detailed inside information of the royal family to Yun Guo!

Yunguo had always been eyeing Yuguo, but now that he had the distribution map, he dared to take the risk of sending someone to assassinate him and Jiang Wei.

“So, the arson was indeed done by people from Yun Kingdom? Are they trying to draw everyone’s attention away?”

Jiang Ying tapped the table with her fingertips, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up: “Yeah, they planned to draw all of our attention to the Jin country for the arson incident…”

Although Jiang Heng didn’t care about his life, he hadn’t finished what he wanted to do now, so he couldn’t be assassinated by Yun Guo for no apparent reason.

“Shall we reveal Yun Kingdom’s purpose to Royal Father?”

Jiang Ying was thinking about something else, she laughed softly: “Not for now.”

“Didn’t Yunguo want to lead the matter to Jinguo? That’s what they want.”
