Chapter 193 Gu Haiwang

"Ahem..." Li Baoquan, who was following Ye Qinghuai, was choked by the dust in the house and coughed twice, "Mr. Lu, this house has been robbed, right?"

Ye Qinghuai did not speak. She turned her head and looked towards the back room. The inkstones and ink on the desk in the back room were still well placed. Although they were dusty, they were still arranged neatly.

If there is a thief, it is impossible to leave the pen and inkstone untouched.

That is the most valuable thing in this room now.

Ye Qinghuai walked back and forth in the room several times.The little portrait is indeed no longer there.

Looking at the entire courtyard, except for this pot of red bamboo and couplets, everything else seemed to be as it was when Lu Yanchen left.

Ye Qinghuai looked at the smashed earthenware basin and frowned.

The earthen basin was smashed to pieces, and the couplets were torn into tiny pieces. Ye Qinghuai could almost see the anger of the person who acted in the sharp edges of these pieces.

She wouldn't believe it if it was done by a thief without any grudge.

But she didn't remember any grudges Lu Yanchen had made in Beijing.

Although Lu Yanchen was an upright official, after all, he was either the emperor's master or a bachelor in Taiqing Pavilion in the court. These were positions with little real power, and it was difficult for him to have conflicts of interest with others.

Who would hold such a grudge against him that he would go out of his way to throw down his potted plants after he left Beijing?But if you really hate him, wouldn't it be more reasonable to impeach him or send someone to assassinate him?

This behavior of breaking a pot and tearing up couplets is like a child letting out anger, which is really unbelievable.

"Your Majesty, do you want to tidy up this place?" Li Baoquan asked.

Ye Qinghuai thought for a while and said: "No need, just leave it like this. Let the Eagle Guards come back to inquire and see who has been here some time ago."
-
In a blink of an eye, it’s late autumn.

Eagle Guard never found out who did what happened to Lu Zhai.

Ye Qinghuai didn't pay too much attention, her attention was focused on Gu Haiwang.

Not only her, but the entire court's attention was focused on Gu Haiwang.

Because of Tao Yuan's support, Eagle Guard took Gu Haiwang back to Shengjing in less than ten days.

Tao Yuan chose a hidden path, so their return to Beijing went smoothly.But when they arrived at the outskirts of Beijing, they still encountered two groups of interceptors.

Fortunately, the Eagle Guards had already prepared, not only the manpower, but also a substitute for Gu Haiwang, and then he was delivered to Zhao Yinshi intact.

As soon as Gu Haiwang entered the capital, he was sent to the palace.

Ye Qinghuai used the excuse that Gu Haiwang was seriously injured and needed the "top-notch treatment" at the Imperial Hospital, so he built a palace specially built for him, guarded by the Imperial Army on three floors inside and outside.

Gu Haiwang had the honor to become the first male foreign minister in the history of Da Jing who had the honor to live in the emperor's harem.

Of course, Gu Shihai put a lot of pressure on Taiyuan Hospital, so much so that Zhou Shouyi showed up in the morning and promised Gu Shihai that he would be able to reconnect Gu Haiwang's legs so that he could walk and jump like a normal person.

Gu Shihai made several requests to see people, and even asked that only Gu Haiwang's mother be allowed into the palace to visit, but Ye Qinghuai suppressed the request on the grounds that the patient needed to rest.

The DPRK and the Central Government were also at loggerheads over how to deal with Gu Haiwang, a frontline general who had suffered a defeat.

Some people say that Gu Haiwang issued a military order but failed to complete it, causing the court to lose a lot of troops, money and food. Even if he died, he would not be able to escape his guilt.

Some people also say that although Gu Haiwang suffered a defeat, our army has regained most of the lost territory on the south bank of Baishui. Since he has been guarding the country for many years and suffered torture in the enemy camp, he should be dealt with lightly.

Others said that Beidi was just trying to see Dajing's monarch and his ministers leave, and if Gu Haiwang was punished severely at this time, their wish would be fulfilled.

All kinds of things.Ye Qinghuai didn't comment and just let them argue.But no matter what, it was absolutely impossible to see Gu Haiwang.

Not only the front dynasty but also the harem are in turmoil.

The Queen came to Jingshou Palace almost every day and expressed her wish to see Gu Haiwang openly and secretly, both softly and covertly.

Ye Qinghuai was very patient with her and even let her take a look at Gu Haiwang sleeping in the room from a distance outside the window.

Apparently, the queen quickly informed the Gu family about Gu Haiwang's situation.

Because the word "Gu Haiwang" finally disappeared from the morning agenda in the following days.

"When will he wake up?" On the seventh day after Gu Haiwang entered the palace, Ye Qinghuai looked at Gu Haiwang on the bed outside the house and asked Zhou Shouyi beside him.

"He can now wake up for half an hour every day. If your Majesty wants to see him, he can come at any time."

Ye Qinghuai was silent and did not answer, but asked: "Can his leg be cured?"

"His tendons are not broken. As long as they can be reattached to the bones, they can be healed. But he has been injured for a long time and needs more time to heal." Zhou Shouyi replied.

Ye Qinghuai nodded and said to Zhou Shou: "Then we will take more time to raise it. The slower the better."

Zhou Shouyi looked at the emperor's unpredictable expression, bowed his head and said, "Old minister... take the order."

After Gu Haiwang returned to Beijing, not only Taiyuan Hospital and the Gu family were busy, but Tao Yuan was also busy.

On the one hand, he wanted to monitor Lu Yanchen who was far away on the front line, on the other hand he wanted to monitor the movements of Gu Mansion in the capital, and also to find out why Gu Shihai was in a hurry to kidnap Haiwang Haiwang.

The Eagle Guard has never been so busy.

This was the first time since the Suihe Dynasty that Tao Yuan felt that the money the royal family spent on Eagle Guard was truly justified.

However, at this juncture when manpower was scarce, Ye Qinghuai issued a personnel instruction to Tao Yuan.

The emperor wanted Eagle Guard to give her a smart, skilled and trustworthy maid to enter the palace. She needed this maid to take care of and supervise Gu Haiwang's daily life.

Within two days, Tao Yuan personally sent a girl.

The girl is very petite, no more than thirteen or fourteen years old. She has two buns on the left and right sides of her hair. She looks cute and cute.Ye Qinghuai noticed that she had a pair of bright and lively eyes, like a pool of living water full of vitality.But the corners of her lips were always pursed straight, without a hint of smile, as if they were a sharp blade.

Such a pair of vivid eyes seemed a bit inconsistent on a lifeless face.

"Her name is Shen Guiyi." Tao Yuan said to Ye Qinghuai, "But your Majesty may be more familiar with another name she used to use."

Tao Yuan paused, seemed to hesitate, and then said: "Wang Siyun."

Ye Qinghuai was shocked.

She had met Wang Siyun once. Although she was seriously injured at that time, with bruises and wounds on her face, Ye Qinghuai could tell that that face was definitely not the same person as the girl in front of her.

"Her face..." Ye Qinghuai said in surprise.

"She was injured before and her face was disfigured. Eagle Guard made her a new face. It's just that she can't have many rich expressions like ordinary people, and her smile will be a little stiff. Your Majesty, don't blame her."

As soon as Tao Yuan finished speaking, the girl showed a slow smile to Ye Qinghuai.
