Dressed As a Consort In Ancient Times - Chapter 66

Jin country…?

Isn’t that Gu Yun’s hometown?

When Jiang Heng rolled his eyes, he knew what Jiang Ying meant.

“Yes, I’ll do my best to get this done.”

Jiang Ying’s voice was gentle, but her words were extremely indifferent: “Jiang Wei, you can also take advantage of the opportunity to do something.”

Once Jiang Wei fell, the only prince who could inherit the great line on the surface was the third prince Jiang Heng.

Moreover, this matter has been mixed with Yun Kingdom and Jin Kingdom, so even if their father had doubts, he would not really treat them badly.

…

In the past few days, Beijing and China have not been peaceful. After the number of patrols increased, Gu Yun, as the commander-in-chief, had more and more errands. She had been able to go home at night for several days.

Right now, she had just dealt with everything and was about to go home under the moonlight, when she heard Fang Zhan’s eager and excited voice from outside: “My lord! They’re caught! They’re caught!”

Fang Zhan held a folding fan in his hand, flicked his robe, and jumped in like a gust of wind.

“Our hard work for so many days has finally paid off! The people below just reported that the arsonist has been caught!”

With such an important matter, Gu Yun didn’t say much, and asked directly: “Where is the person locked up now? What did the interrogation reveal? Can you be sure that he is from Yunguo?”

“Your Excellency, come with me and have a look.” Fang Zhan waved his hand and led Gu Yun out.

Under the pale moonlight, the two of them didn’t care what time it was, and hurried all the way to the place where the arsonist was being held.

Along the way, Fang Zhan has described the details of the process very quickly.

“…That person doesn’t look like a Yunguo person, but when he went to stay today, he happened to pass by Wu Zuo who had seen the scene that day. Wu Zuo smelled the smell coming from him, and felt a little weird, as if he had nothing to do with that It smells very similar…”

When he came to the place of detention, Gu Yun looked up and frowned: “Have the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple received the news?”

Fang Zhan shook his head, looked around from the corner of his eye, and replied in a low voice: “The people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple already knew about it, but both of them wanted to take people to their territory for interrogation, which made it ugly. In the end, they stopped arguing and said that the people from the Wucheng Bingma Division had full authority to interrogate, and they would send some people to assist.”

…It seems that this pie is really tempting!

Both the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple wanted to take the greatest credit, and no one would let anyone else, the food was really ugly.

Since they finally decided to let the commander interrogate and sent someone to supervise, I’m afraid she will become the target of those people in the next few days.

But Gu Yun still kept his eyes open.

She thought Fang Zhan was a little strange, so she didn’t believe all of his words at the moment.

She slowly released her mental power, covering her surroundings.

After finding nothing wrong, she put away a lot of mental energy and followed Fang Zhan into it.

This is a secret prison belonging to the Wucheng Bingma Division.

It was rather dark inside, and there was almost no light from the candles on the wall.

“The people are detained in the innermost part, and our people are already interrogating below.” Fang Zhan led Gu Yun down the steps.

Before he got close, he could already hear the crackling sound of a whip coming from below, and after a while, there were a few stern scolding sounds mixed in with it.

The two of them didn’t stop, they turned the corner, and in a blink of an eye, they saw the figure hanging on the wall inside.

“My lord, his mouth is too strict. Our people didn’t dig out any useful clues.” The lead interrogator heard the movement and rushed forward.

Fang Zhan looked at Gu Yun, as if asking for her opinion.

Gu Yun walked over with his hands behind his back, and took a close look at the man who had been tortured so badly.

“You tortured him?”

The leader nodded and bowed his head: “If you go back to the adults, this kid can’t pry his mouth open at all, so we can only use torture…”

Before he finished speaking, the man sent

Crazy, with scarlet eyes struggling to break free from the chains wrapped around his hands.

But after struggling for a long time, he couldn’t break free, so he shouted in despair, and rushed towards Gu Yun, with his mouth wide open, revealing his sharp white teeth.

Seeing that he was about to be bitten, Gu Yun didn’t even lift his eyelids, his feet moved slightly, and he was about to take a few steps back.

Fang Zhan was taken aback by this sudden situation. He was afraid that Gu Yun would be injured, so he rushed behind Gu Yun.

He didn’t expect Gu Yun’s movements to be so brisk, and he couldn’t hold back his strength and bumped into Gu Yun’s body.

“Hiss—” Gu Yun who was bumped had no time to react before being bitten on the arm by that man.

Fortunately, the distance was not too close, the man just tore off a small part of her sleeve, and did not bite her.

“My lord?!” Fang Zhan and the others surrounded her, looking at her nervously, “My lord, are you okay?!”

Gu Yun waved his hand at them, “I’m fine.”

After speaking, he raised his head and glanced at the stern-looking man.

After re-strengthening the iron chain, the Yun countryman could no longer move an inch.

Gu Yun was surprised by this sudden incident.

She always felt something strange that couldn’t be explained.

She released her mental power again to cover the entire dark prison, but still found nothing.

But she had become vigilant, and after thinking about it, she decided to leave here first.

If there was something really wrong with Fang Zhan, he wouldn’t have done anything to her here.

“My lord, this kid is so vicious, should he be punished severely?” Fang Zhan let go of his worry and opened his mouth to Gu Yun.

Glancing at him lightly, Gu Yun shook her head: “I was a little dizzy after being so scared by him.”

In this way, Fang Zhan can only tell the leader to interrogate the Yunguo man.

“Your Excellency is frightened, it’s better to go back and rest earlier.”

Escorting Gu Yun out of the dark prison, Fang Zhan’s eyebrows have never been smoothed.

“It’s my fault that I didn’t protect you well today.”

In the dark night, Gu Yun couldn’t see Fang Zhan’s expression clearly, but felt that his tone was full of infinite self-blame and loss.

These words were too sincere, which made Gu Yun a little suspicious. Before, he thought that Fang Zhan had ulterior motives and wronged him by thinking wildly.

“It’s okay, I didn’t get hurt, you don’t have to blame yourself so much.”

Pulling the horse over, Fang Zhan tried his best to protect Gu Yun from getting on the horse.

Sitting on the horseback, Gu Yun held the rein with one hand, and waved to Fang Zhan: “So, I will go back first.”

“If that person keeps refusing to tell the truth, then go and check carefully where he is staying, and carefully check who is suitable for him to enter the city, when he will do it, and whether he has connections.”

Listening to Gu Yun’s clear voice, Fang Zhan lowered his head: “Yes.”

The confession was almost over, Gu Yun grabbed the rein and was about to leave.

“Gu Yun.” Fang Zhan behind him seemed to have something to say.

The hazy moonlight was as clear as water, Gu Yun turned his head and looked through the quiet light, “What else is there?”

Fang Zhan grinned: “It’s nothing, be careful on the road.”

Gu Yun nodded: “Understood.” After speaking, he drove the horse back to the princess mansion as fast as possible.

Fang Zhan, who stayed where he was, watched silently as the figure drifted away until it disappeared.

The smile on his face was put away, and there was a cloud of sadness in his eyes.

…

It was already late when we returned to the mansion.

Probably the seventh princess had an order, so the lit lanterns were very bright, and the path back to the house was very brightly illuminated.

Candles were still lit in the main house, and the faint halo projected, like stars all over the sky, filled Gu Yun’s heart.

She opened the door and entered, and saw the sleepy Seventh Princess leaning on the bed.

Probably hearing the sound of her opening the door, Seventh Princess opened her eyelids, “Why did it take you so long to come back?”

The girl’s voice sounded indistinct.

Gu Yun

He walked over quickly, “Why doesn’t the princess go to bed first?” He helped her untie the robe and the thin quilt, and waited for her to lie down.

“I wanted to wait for you to come back, but you came back so late.” Jiang Libai held her hand and muttered: “I’ve been outside all day, it’s dirty, you go to take a shower and then have dinner.”

“Hot water has been placed in the bathtub, so it should be just right to wash now. Your dinner is also warming in the small kitchen. After you take a bath, let Chunxi bring it to you…”

In the end, Jiang Libai’s voice was almost inaudible, like a gust of gentle breeze blowing over Gu Yun’s heart.

She knew that the seventh princess liked cleanliness, so she resisted the urge to kiss the corner of her mouth.

The water in the tub was still warm, Gu Yun took off his clothes, and washed his body very quickly.

After changing into clean clothes, she went out of the inner room, and as soon as she opened the door, she saw Chun Xi salute her with a tray.

It was very late now, and Gu Yun was already too hungry, so she asked Chunxi to withdraw the hot meal without taking a few bites.

Back in the inner room again, she put out the candle and walked to the bedside slowly.

As soon as she entered the bed, Seventh Princess’ fiery body leaned over, hugged her waist, and rubbed her small head against her shoulder.

Gu Yun’s heart was soft, and he bowed his head and kissed her delicate side face emotionally, then hugged her and fell asleep together.

…

“Knock, knock—” Early in the morning, there was a rapid knock on the door.

Suddenly awakened, Jiang Libai and Gu Yun opened their eyes.

The knock on the door became more and more urgent. Jiang Libai rubbed her confused eyes and forced herself to wake up completely, “Chun Xi? What’s wrong?”

It’s best if there is something urgent, otherwise her sweet dreams will be disturbed so much, she will definitely send Chunxi to clean the latrine for a month!

“Princess! People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple are here, saying that they have something important to see the son-in-law!”

People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple?

While putting on clothes, Gu Yun was thinking in his mind.

Could it be that the man from Yunguo confessed last night? People from the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple got the news and rushed to see her?

This idea flashed in her mind, but she always felt that it was not because of this.

“So early, what are the people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple looking for you for?” Jiang Libai also put on her dress, dressed briefly, and walked out with Gu Yun.

Stepping out of the room, Gu Yun’s expression was inexplicable: “I don’t know, it’s probably because of the arson incident that has been raging around these days.”

The two came to the main hall with mixed feelings, and there were already several people from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple standing inside.

As soon as they saw Gu Yun’s figure, they stepped forward, “I’ve offended you.” As they spoke, they wanted to grab Gu Yun.

Gu Yun’s expression remained unchanged, and he stepped back: “What are you doing?”
