Seeing that Gu Jian beat the guard upside down with a wooden stick and vomited blood, Wei Qi and Wu Jingyi's expressions changed, and they couldn't help but look at the old man in front of him again.

However, the next scene made the two of them, no, made everyone in the courtyard widen their eyes.

"Uncle, the guards didn't do it on purpose."

uncle?

Who is the uncle?

Whose uncle?

Yang Chenghua and Wu Jingyi were a little confused, but Wei Qi and Eunuch An had such expressions on their faces.

The fifth master, who Gu Jian ignored, carefully removed the silver needle from Granny Gu's body, lifted the person up, and then walked quickly towards the Daohua lying at the door.

Granny Gu was also worried about Daohua, she followed up tremblingly, and after only two steps, her eyes turned black, her body swayed for a while, and then she felt a pair of strong and firm arms supporting her.

Looking at Granny Gu, Fifth Master's lips moved, his eyes were very complicated, there were self-blame, guilt, joy, and heartache.

Granny Gu didn't look at Fifth Master, and walked towards Gu Jian quickly.

The fifth master couldn't, so he had to help the old lady over.

"Is the rice flower alright?"

Before she got close, Granny Gu asked eagerly.

Gu Jian glanced at Fifth Master coldly: "You brought a good guard."

He likes to let the two boys Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao suffer, he likes it, after all, a boy can't be a weapon if he doesn't cut it; but Daohua is a girl, noble and weak, how can she withstand the beating of the guards?

Seeing the worried look on her sister's face, she said softly, "It's okay, I just passed out, but I have to rest for a few days."

The guard's hand is not small, he looked at it, and the back of the apprentice's neck was already bruised.

Granny Gu: "Then what are you doing standing there, take Daohua to Taohua Nunnery to rest."

Gu Jian nodded, but didn't move immediately. He was holding the rice flower, so he couldn't help his sister. For a while, he didn't know what to do.

Aware of Gu Jian's embarrassment, the fifth master, who was treated as the air hanging aside, immediately said, "Mother, I'll help."

Hearing the name of the fifth master, Granny Gu was a little stunned, while Gu Jian glanced at the fifth master.

The two were silent, but did not speak out against it.

And the others in the yard have now turned into motionless statues.

Obviously, the word 'mother' is far more lethal than 'uncle'.

Afterwards, Gu Jian walked in front with Daohua in his arms, Wu Ye supported Granny Gu in the back, and the four of them walked out of Zhuangzi slowly.

Eunuch An and Wei Qi immediately trotted and followed.

Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua glanced at each other and followed, but when they reached the door, they stopped with great discernment.

Wei Qi guarded the safety of the fifth master, and Eunuch An was there to serve him. The two of them followed up. It was their duty and it was reasonable. But the two of them kept up, but they were suspected of inquiring about Fifth Master's private affairs.

Then, the two saw the fifth master crouched down, carried the old lady on his back, and then sent him up the mountain in person.

Watching this scene, Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua took a breath at the same time.

"The Governor Wu's family has lived in the capital for generations, but have you heard of the monstrous fire at Chengqian Palace in the 22nd year of Taixing?"

"Why don't you remember that the emperor's favorite concubine died in that fire."

"I heard that in addition to the imperial concubine, there is also a selection servant who died?"

Wu Jingyi was stunned: "I don't know that."

Selecting waiters are just palace concubines with no rank. With an imperial concubine in front, who would pay attention to such a small person?

Wu Jingyi looked at Yang Chenghua inquiringly: "Why do you pay attention to the old yellow calendar decades ago?"

Yang Chenghua smiled and didn't answer.

Why?

Although Jinshang is a wise ruler, as the saying goes, accompanying the ruler is like accompanying a tiger. In order to avoid taboos, since he became an official, he has spent a lot of time and carefully pondering Jinshang's preferences.

During this period, he made an astonishing discovery that Jinshang was not as close to the Jiang family as he appeared to be. Once, he even saw Jinshang showing killing intent towards Jiang Shizi.

Discovering this, he had been worried for a long time. For the sake of the whole family's life, he forced himself to forget about it, but it was not as good as heaven.

In the five years of Yongxing, Concubine Sheng De and Concubine Du Xian had miscarriages one after another. He was in charge of investigating the matter and actually discovered the secrets of the previous dynasty in the Tai Hospital.

It turned out that when the Empress Dowager was still the Empress, there was an ancient election attendant in Kunning Palace who was pregnant, and it happened twice. He silently calculated the time according to the doctor's order, and it happened to match the Prince Jinshang and Prince Ping.

He still remembers the trepidation in his heart when he found out about it.

The Prince of Peace is not the Queen Mother herself!

This is simply appalling.

Wu Jingyi glanced at Yang Chenghua, who was in deep thought, and whispered an old fox in his heart, this old man must know something.

However, he didn't care.

Anyway, the end is already in front of him.

At this time, a guard came back with a falcon that had been pierced through its throat.

"Fortunately, the subordinates are fast, otherwise, I would have let this Haidongqing go to tip off the news."

Looking at the guards who were taking credit, Wu Jingyi and Yang Chenghua glanced at the guards with blood on the corners of their mouths, and looked at the guards who shot the eagle with some sympathy.

The old man's temper is not very good, and the guard may suffer.

Wu Jingyi: "Take care of this place first, and don't let people see that something is wrong."

Yang Chenghua pointed to Yan Wenkai and Yan Wentao on the ground: "What about these two stunned youths?"

Wu Jingyi sneered, and dared to put a sweaty towel in his mouth. He had to let them lose their skins. Then, he said to the guard: "Throw it to me in the deep mountains."

Yang Chenghua didn't stop it, but said, "You can take it easy, the old lady and the old man seem to be protecting their shortcomings."

Wu Jingyi didn't care at all: "Don't worry, when the guard just shot these two boys, the old man didn't say anything, and everything will be fine."

However, in order to avoid accidents, two guards were sent to 'take care' of them in secret.

At the same time, Taohua Temple.

Gu Jian carefully put Daohua on the bed, gave her medicine again, and then walked slowly to the main room.

In the main room, Granny Gu sat silently, and below, the fifth master was kneeling with a straight waist.

Eunuch An stood far away from the door, and did not dare to scan the room at all; Wei Qi hid directly outside the yard and was responsible for guarding the surroundings.

After Gu Jian entered the room, he didn't know what to say, so he just sat silently.

After a while, the fifth master took the initiative to speak: "These years, my son has been looking for you two again."

Gu Jian glanced at him: "Do you know that we are still alive?"

The fifth master nodded: "The two corpses left by the Jiang family that were burned beyond recognition, I knew at a glance that they were fake."

Granny Gu sighed: "What if you find us?"

Fifth Master's eyes were a little red, with unwillingness and resentment in his eyes: "The son will definitely correct his mother's name."

Granny Gu smiled bitterly: "Why does the Jiang family dare to take the risk to support you? It's just that you can only have a foreign family from the Jiang family. Back then, the Chengqian Palace was set on fire and the emperor was poisoned. It was your uncle and I who personally did it, and the Jiang family did it. As long as you hold this handle, you can't do anything to them."

Fifth Master took a deep breath: "I can't now, but one day my son will completely remove the Jiang family."

Gu Jian was silent and did not speak. He also hated the Jiang family deeply, took his sister as a puppet of a pregnant child, took her child, and finally killed her.

But Granny Gu shook her head: "There's no need for this, I'm a person without a past, you don't need to smear your reputation for me."
