Capture the Jade:

Li Huaigu was detained in a duty room outside the Yanying Hall of the Ming Palace.

The night was dark, and the four corners of the house were lit with sheep horn lamps, and the lights flickered like veils, illuminating Li Huaigu's gloomy expression.

She is as sluggish as a stone sculpture, which has been moved for a long time.

All these evidences had been presented to the saint one by one when she was in the Linde Hall earlier, and now she had no choice but to wait for the final decision.

Since five years ago, she has asked her father to use all his strength to secretly collect evidence of the Peng family's rebellion, and the evidence collected this year is sufficient.

This political bargaining chip is heavy and golden, as long as it is held in front of a saint, it is comparable to the contribution of founding a country and following the king to conquer the country.

She originally wanted to take it out one month before the Peng family's rebellion, so as not to arouse suspicion from the outside world, but also to give the sage a timely gift when the sage was unable to come up with a good strategy to calm the enemy. .

She didn't know how the Peng family assembled a force close to Fan Dao in the Central Plains, and she also knew that the Peng family took the lead in sending troops to strangle Chen Ying's waterway.

Because the previous imperial court missed an early opportunity, it took three years to successfully put down the rebellion.

Now she can get ahead of every move of the Peng family, and let Grandpa and the court make accurate countermeasures in time.

As long as grandpa wins the battle against the Peng family's rebels, then the court will reward him for his meritorious deeds in the future, and grandpa will be the first minister.

So it doesn't matter if Teng Yuyi's grandpa is fighting, as long as grandpa takes the lead, he will just stand aside afterwards.

A sage has always been benevolent, so the Li family would have been conferred the title of Lord Duke of the State and so on. From then on, he has skyrocketed and become a noble family with the head and face of Chang'an City. .

As soon as he came here, the Li family didn't want to be overwhelmed by the Teng family everywhere, and when others mentioned grandpa, they didn't want to say, "He's a lieutenant under General Teng."

"General Teng", "General Teng", doesn't grandpa have a last name? !

Also, Teng Yuyi, always proud of her like a phoenix in front of her, every time A Niang takes her to see Teng Yuyi, she never forgets to tell her to restrain her temper, and before dating, she spontaneously becomes shorter .

Every time I go back to Teng's house, I always see some dazzling treasures thrown by Teng Yuyi on the couch and bed at will.

I remember the first time we met, Teng Yuyi sat among a pile of rare toys and yawned with her chin resting on her chin. Her nonchalant and lazy expression seemed to say: Look, the treasure you can't ask for is no different from nothing in my opinion.

She's had enough of it!

As long as the Li family is rewarded, she, Li Huaigu, is also a veritable noble woman. Will Teng Yuyi still be arrogant in front of her in the future?

Enthusiasm is the first window, and the Li family's achievements are the second window. After opening these two windows, Chengwang Mansion is not as far away as it was in her previous life. .

She can justly associate with Princess Azhi, and let Lin Chengyou fall in love with her bit by bit—no, thinking of the scene during the day, she felt chills, and her love for Lin Chengyou has long since begun. In an instant, it turned into deep-seated hatred.

In the mansion today, if it wasn't for Lin Chengyou's enthusiasm for her identity that made her lose herself for a moment, how could she have committed such a stupid act?

In her previous life, she didn't blame Lin Chengyou, after all, if she pretended to be, she would be ready to be exposed. He is such a proud person, how can he tolerate others deceiving himself.

Today is different, he guessed early on that she was a fake but pretended to be fooled, he tricked her step by step with sweet words, and he didn't stop until he got her a crime of "deception".

It can be seen that he not only wants to punish her, but also put her to death.

He did it too hard.

His ruthlessness was completely beyond her imagination.

Thinking about debunking her in the previous life, Lin Chengyou just changed her ugly name and expelled her from Chang'an.

What I have done in this life is to protect Teng Yuyi.

Li Huai had tears in his eyes, almost insane.

Seeing that, she has no other means to save herself now, so she can only show her hole cards in advance.

Actually, she hates herself more now than she hates Lin Chengyou. I remember that the first time I saw Lin Chengyou in my previous life was on the streets of Chang'an, a handsome young man with a golden bow on his back, galloping past like a spring breeze.

She had never seen such a handsome and free-spirited young man before, and she was fascinated for a moment.

People on the street stopped one after another, and she heard someone say, "Look, this is the son of Prince Cheng."

She was stunned, it turned out that she was the son of a prominent and powerful man from Chang'an City.

She followed Lin Chengyou's back with her eyes, until his figure disappeared, and then reluctantly lowered the curtain by the window.

For a moment, she felt melancholy and lost. To her, Lin Chengyou is as far away as the bright moon in the sky. There was such a huge disparity in the two families that she had no chance of marrying him. Unless—he wants to.

But she didn't even have the opportunity to contact him, so how could she make him fall in love with her.

Later, she inquired carefully, and found out that Lin Chengyou had been infected with the Unfeeling Gu since he was a child. He heard that he could not fall in love with women before the poison was cured, so he grew up until he was seventeen or eighteen years old. None of them are engaged.

This made her even more desperate.

Not long after inquiring about these things, a news came that Teng Yuyi was willing to participate in the royal family selection.

Her heart immediately hung in her throat.

Teng Yuyi just divorced General Duan a while ago, and this time she went to run for the election, she must be running for the purpose of embarrassing the Duan family. Teng Yuyi is excellent in both poetry and piano. And Princess Cheng.

After getting the news, she was restless all day long. Teng Yuyi has already had a better life than her in every way. Would she even want to take away her long-awaited husband?

The result was unexpected. Although Teng Yuyi was in the limelight that day, when Teng Yuyi's portrait was sent to Lin Chengyou, only Lin Chengyou said "don't marry".

After hearing about this, she closed the door and laughed for a long time in the room. When she thought that Teng Yuyi was so embarrassing, her laughter almost spread to the yard.

But after the joy was over, deep sorrow filled her heart again.

Teng Yuyi is outstanding in Chang'an regardless of her appearance or appearance. Lin Chengyou didn't even have a crush on Teng Yuyi, let alone her.

Fortunately, not long after, she inquired about another matter. Cheng Wangfu had inquired about a girl everywhere. The girl's nickname was "Agu", "Agu" or "Agu". This girl rescued Lin Chengyou in his early years, and he never gave up looking for her all these years.

Hearing this, a daring thought popped up in her heart, if she became Lin Chengyou's savior, would she have the opportunity to approach him often.

This is the only way she can think of to get close to him, and it just so happens that there is a word "solid" in her name.

I didn't prepare well in the previous life, but I have finally done it seamlessly in this life. I only hate that she couldn't control her love for Lin Chengyou, so she fell short at the critical moment——

Li Huaigu gritted his teeth in thought, when he suddenly heard a "squeak" and someone came in.

‌Human double servant girls are green and thick, with picturesque eyebrows, wearing a lotus-colored skirt embroidered with white peonies on the chest, and wearing jingle bells when walking around, as energetic as a little fairy.

Li Huaigu's eyes sharpened, Teng Yuyi.

The eunuchs and palace guards at the entrance were very respectful to Teng Yuyi, bent down and bowed: "Ms. Teng."

Li Huaigu looked at Teng Yuyi coldly, but in the next moment, she had to restrain her hideous look because she saw Lin Chengyou outside.

Standing beside Teng Yuyi, he was very patient with Teng Yuyi: "The guards are strictly guarded, and the slaves are always around. If you want to ask her anything, just ask her. I will go to Linde Hall to find my uncle first, and I will turn around ‌ come to pick you up."

Teng Yuyi let out a natural "Hey".

Li Huaigu managed to maintain a calm face, but his heart was overwhelmed.

Teng Yuyi entered the room and closed the door, looked around, and said in a low voice: "So you already knew that the Peng family rebelled? Don't say it sooner or later, because you have committed the crime of deceiving the emperor." Speak out."

Li Huaigu remained silent.

"Some of the documents you sent to the Prince's Mansion in Chun'an County have been confiscated by the Lisi Temple. Who made them copy them, you can go to Hangzhou to find out. Don't say anything else, just you Imitating the set of Wuxianzhan given by the saint to the Teng family is enough to convict the Li family. If you don’t want to hurt your parents, you should tell the truth as soon as possible.”

Li Huaigu interrupted her with a voice of hatred: "Stop pretending to be a fool! Didn't you already know all this?"

Teng Yu calmed down and sat down at the table.

Li Huaigu was full of fear and hatred and had nowhere to vent, seeing Teng Yuyi's victorious posture was even more irritated, knowing that Lin Chengyou was not there, a series of words poured out of her mouth.

"Your elder sister was murdered on the night of the Shangsi Festival, but you seemed to have anticipated that something would happen to her, so you came to Chang'an ahead of time, and even rushed to such a remote bamboo forest in time to rescue her. Your cousin.

"In your previous life, Little General Duan went up first to humiliate you by retiring your marriage, but after you came to Chang'an, you took the lead. Not only did you propose to withdraw your marriage first, but you also took advantage of the situation to ruin General Duan and Erniang Dong.

"If it weren't for these two incidents, I wouldn't know that your situation is the same as mine. You are obviously the same person as me, but you pretend to know nothing. The Peng family rebelled. Didn't you say nothing about it?"

Teng Yuyi looked at Li Huaigu with great interest.

As early as two months ago, after she confessed to Grandpa, Grandpa tried to get someone to deliver a letter to His Royal Highness Chengwang. Due to the status of the governor of Huainan Road, it was impossible to say that it was the Peng family who wanted to rebel, but Grandpa at least His Royal Highness Cheng Wang has been reminded a long time ago, and he has been secretly collecting evidence of the Peng family's rebellion. This is enough. When His Royal Highness King Cheng returned to Chang'an, the sage would answer as soon as he asked.

Li Huaigu deliberately concealed it, just to seek political capital for himself. She's not interested in doing that.

But what she couldn't figure out was that Li Huaigu was obviously a reborn person like her, so why did she only provoke evil spirits by herself.

She came tonight just to find out why.

She picked a gentle beginning and asked Li Huaigu curiously: "Since you are sincerely pretending to be Ah Gu, why didn't you come to Chang'an earlier?"

Li Huaigu has already put his heart out. Although Teng Yuyi didn't admit it, she didn't deny that she was reborn. As long as she talked about the past life, the Teng family might not be able to escape.

So he simply opened up and said: "I didn't catch up to save him, otherwise you would get you in the first turn, I said—"

There was irony on her lips: "Don't just think that Lin Chengyou has a crush on you. You must not have forgotten that in your previous life, you eagerly went to the selection of the royal family's children, but Lin Chengyou refuted you as 'not to marry' , since it is expected that you will not succeed, it does not make any difference if you come early or late."

Lin Chengyou withdrew the guards outside, but he himself did not leave. He was listening outside with his arms folded. Hearing these words, it was like a thunder exploded in his ears.

What?

He said such a thing to Teng Yuyi?

"But I never expected that you would be reborn too. Not only that, after you rescued Du Tinglan tonight, you rushed to the Ziyun Tower again. I'm familiar with it."

Li Huaigu's eyes were full of remorse and regret.

"For the first meeting, I have made a lot of preparations. Before I came to Chang'an, I specially spent a lot of money to ask a local Taoist priest in Hangzhou to help me catch a ghost and go to Ledao Villa. On the way, I let Li Gui out, and Li Gui didn't chase others but me, but Lin Chengyou came to save me, but he didn't even—"

The reason is to use this opportunity to get along with Lin Chengyou alone, and her reputation will be damaged after the two get along for a long time. There are so many guests in Le Dao Villa, so he can only marry her whether he wants to or not. .

Why, he didn't let her get close at all.

She wasn't discouraged, since she used the memory of her previous life to make grandpa rise up step by step, she naturally couldn't find a way to make Lin Chengyou look at her with admiration.

At the queen's banquet, she presented the word "Xiang Xiang" based on her previous life memory, and it happened that Lin Chengyou was there at the time.

It was supposed to be the moment to steal the limelight, but Du Tinglan unexpectedly came up with the same name based on her familiarity with Buddhist scriptures.

That's all, the queen rewarded me afterwards with a little red horse——

She slowly raised her eyes and stared at Teng Yuyi.

The little red horse that Lin Chengyou personally trained was originally given to her, but why did she only run towards Teng Yuyi.

Seeing Lin Chengyou's half-smile look at that time, she realized that this matter was unusual.

When Yuzhen Nuguan came back, Lin Chengyou's expression changed immediately when he heard that Teng Yuyi had been taken away by Naizhong.

But why? ! She couldn't figure it out.

In Lin Chengyou's body, the unfeeling Gu imprint is still there in this life, so why did he fall in love with Teng Yuyi?

In order to overthrow her guess, she had to go to the Yinyin Temple that day, and in order to get Abbot Yuanjue to agree to enter the temple by herself, she only used the demon-polluted one she bought from a Taoist earlier. The hairpin of blood cut his wrist.

She lived in the Yin Temple as she wished. It didn't take long for Naizhong to break into the temple, and Lin Chengyou's concern for Teng Yuyi was revealed all the time. She saw it in her eyes, and she couldn't deceive herself anymore.

One night, she was so depressed that she seemed to be seriously ill.

"You say you." Teng Yuyi pretended to be kind and sighed, "I know so many things, it's not good to do something. Why do you insist on pretending to be A Gu?"

"You don't have to be hypocritical." Li Huaigu gritted his teeth and said, "He has been poisoned. In my previous life, I never heard that Lin Chengyou was attracted to a certain woman until his death. The identity is close to him, what else can I do?!"

"A while ago, you already knew that the Gu poison was fake, why did you make a bad move?"

Li Huaigu was stunned, even if the Gu poison was fake, she could only use this method to get close to Lin Chengyou.

It's not that she didn't make all kinds of efforts, but Lin Chengyou still didn't look at her directly, so he asked Teng Yuyi to marry him in front of the emperor, and she didn't sleep all night, so he might marry Teng Yuyi if he dragged on. She had to put all her eggs in one basket.

"In which year did you die in the previous life?" Teng Yuyi asked, she also wanted to know whether Lin Chengyou survived after being shot by a poisonous arrow, since Li Huaigu died behind her , maybe there is no one who murdered Lin Chengyou.

Li Huaigu was speechless.

"Isn't it not long after I died that Lin Chengyou knew that I was Gu, otherwise why did you know that Lin Chengyou used puppets to identify benefactors? Strange, you were not expelled after a while Chang'an, how do you know about these things?"

There was an invisible smile on the corner of Li Huaigu's mouth, and Teng Yuyi finally admitted it, but the tone was not very sure yet.

"I'm not in Chang'an anymore, but my mother and father sighed when they heard the news of your death. Not to mention that General Teng himself was killed by Peng Zhen's party with sorcery, even his daughter did not escape. They Thinking about the old relationship with General Teng, I rushed back to Chang'an overnight to express my condolences. At that time, Princess Azhi also came. When my mother was in the backyard, I overheard Princess Azhi talking to Princess Changyi. Brother Ri guessed that Mrs. Teng was the old Gu. After all, there is no such strange puppet as the second person in the world. I don’t know if Mrs. Dao Teng gave birth every year. Because of his serious illness, he seems to have forgotten about it a long time ago. His brother regretted not saving Ah Gu last night, and he was working on the case in Lisi Temple all day these days. He probably wanted to find out what happened as soon as possible. Who harmed you."

Teng Yuyi's chest felt hot, and it was indeed Lin Chengyou who came to rescue her at night.

A kind of turbulent tears welled up again, she clenched her fists and tried hard to hold herself, because she didn't want to lose her composure in front of Li Huaigu.

When the astringency in her throat eased, she pretended to be calm and asked, "Is the murderer Wu Qi? In her previous life, she became a princess?"

Li Huaigu said lightly: "I don't know. But when it comes to Wu Qi, not long after you died, I heard that Wu Zhongcheng's second thousand gold suddenly fell ill and died."

Teng Yuyi froze, could it be that Lin Chengyou found Wu Qi's head, and the master behind the scenes killed him first?

"So when did my case be solved? When did the teacher of Yuzhen Nuguan Temple fall into the net?"

Li Huaigu sneered: "I really want to know? You admit that you are a reborn person, and I will tell you these things."

Teng Yuyi naturally knew what kind of tricks Li Huaigu was playing, scoffed in his heart, hesitated for a while, and nodded silently.

Li Huaigu squinted his eyes, what does it mean to nod? The guards outside couldn't hear it.

"No, you have to admit it yourself."

"Okay, I admit it. Can I say it now?"

Li Huaigu stopped talking.

Teng Yuyi sneered: "Don't tell me you escaped unharmed. Haven't you been terrified by the means of harming you? The news of your premonition has spread throughout Chang'an. The family is afraid of your bad deeds, so they wish to get rid of you immediately. Even if the saints don’t put you to death this time, they are afraid that you will pre-arrange their attack route, and sooner or later they will send people to chase and kill you on the way. This is only on the surface If someone from the Peng family secretly supported the Peng family’s rebellion, they wouldn’t try to prevent you from telling all this. When you walk out of Chang’an, you will be chopped into a piece of meat. I advise you If you say it all, at least you can understand it."

Li Huaigu's face turned ashen, he thought about it for a while, and said unwillingly: "Your case seems to involve many people. Anyway, I didn't hear that it was solved until I died, but not long after your death, Lin Chengyou I found out that Lu Zhaoan was the murderer of your cousin. I heard that Lu Zhaoan met another person in the bamboo forest at night. Your elder sister didn’t care about it. She took her maidservant to look for Lu Zhaoan because she bumped into her and shouldn’t have bumped into her. Yes, he was strangled to death in the forest by his men.”

Sure enough. Teng Yuyi almost gritted her teeth for a moment, but fortunately she rescued her sister in time in this life, and fortunately that **** Lu Zhaoan was tortured in prison.

"Three years later, Lin Chengyou was assassinated in the Fufang Mansion. I heard that he was dying from a poisoned arrow, so I—"

Li Huaigu bit his lip.

Teng Yuyi looked at her in surprise. Could it be that Li Huaigu went to Fufang Mansion for Lin Chengyou in his previous life.

Li Huaigu felt sour and resentful in her heart. In her previous life, she had indeed thought this way. When a person is seriously ill, his willpower is weak, and the Fufang Mansion lacks food and clothing. Under such a difficult environment, if she  meet him, maybe he will accept her care.

Unfortunately, before she left, I heard that the news was false.

"Fake?"

Li Huaigu: "I heard it was just a bureau. Once something happened to Lin Chengyou, His Royal Highness King Cheng, Taoist Master Qing Xuzi and others rushed to the Fufang Mansion to rescue them. Only the saints, his wife and Princess Cheng were left in Chang'an City. At that time, the imperial court had just suppressed Peng Zhen’s rebel army, and Chang’an City and the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi were empty of troops, and it happened that the saint was ill, and in such a golden opportunity, another faction lurking in the court took action.”

Teng Yuyi was stunned, it turned out that this was just a game set up by Lin Chengyou.

The other faction should refer to Mrs. Jingchen and her master behind the scenes.

Lin Chengyou should have found out the head of the Shi Tai gang through her case, but she was dead in the previous life, and Shi Tai and Wu Qi did not show their feet quickly, unlike this life, she first because of Xiao Ya's reminder broke into Xiao Jiang's scene, and Yu found out that Zhuang Mu was framed. Later, because of Baihuacan's agency, Wu Qi, Lu Zhaoan, and Wang Yu were caught.

Without this series of coincidences, it must have been more difficult for Lin Chengyou in his previous life to investigate, but even if the other party's methods were meticulous, Lin Chengyou still found him.

"So who is the other rebel?" Teng Yuyi held her breath.

Li Huaigu's face was ugly: "The imperial court keeps secrets. My grandfather followed the army to Beirong to fight against Tubo. No one in the family knew about these court affairs, and then the epidemic broke out. , because I contracted the epidemic, I died soon—"

The candle flame exploded, and Li Huaigu and Teng Yuyi fell silent at the same time.

The topic of death is unsettling, and even Teng Yuyi felt lost for a moment. It turned out that Li Huaigu died of the epidemic, so did her rebirth have anything to do with him?

Just as he was speculating secretly, Li Huaigu said: "I know you are very happy now, but don't be too complacent, your grandfather is a military envoy, and you know that people rebelled but secretly Don’t tell me, is it because of evil intentions, or is it just trying to fish in troubled waters? Once this matter is brought up in front of the sage, the sage will know for himself. If something happens to me, don’t try to pick it up.”

Teng Yuyi's eyes were full of ridicule.

"You don't have this opportunity anymore." The door was opened, and Lin Chengyou walked in.

Li Huaigu was terrified, but there was only one Lin Chengyou.

But this is enough, let Lin Chengyou feel more selfish than Teng Yuyi.

Lin Chengyou seemed to know what Li Huaigu was thinking, and said with a sarcasm: "You don't need to know about these things, but you don't want to drag the Teng family into trouble. The sage's treatment of you has already come out , you deliberately deceived the king first, and planted Mrs. Teng later. In order to obtain credit for the Li family's suppression of the rebellion, you disregarded the safety of the people all over the world and concealed the Peng family's rebellion. You should have been hanged immediately. I will reward you with tattoo punishment (note), and you will be sent to Khotan, and you will never be able to return to Chang'an."

Master heard about this, and wanted to find out from Li Huaigu and Teng Yuyi why there are so many evil spirits nearby. If it wasn't for this, he would wish to drive Li Huaigu out of Chang'an tonight .

Tattoo punishment? ! Li Huaigu's complexion changed.

"No, no, no." She trembled all over, "Just kill me, I would rather die than suffer this kind of insult."

Lin Chengyou said with a smile: "As you like."

His eyes fell on Li Huaigu's forehead, and he studied it seriously: "Why don't you tattoo the word 'three'. Don't you like to pretend to be others? You don't deserve such a good name like Agu Agu, How about changing your name to Li Huaisan. Help you carve the word 'three' on your forehead, and you will always remember who you are."

At first, Li Huaigu gritted his teeth with hatred, but gradually he showed a pitiful look, and said while weeping: "It is clear that you deliberately seduced me in today's situation, and my son knows it very well. I... I am just I only made the wrong move if I like you, and I will never dare to do it again in the future, so I beg you to let me go."

A look of hostility flashed in Lin Chengyou's eyes: "With your duplicitous face, don't say you are not A Gu, even if you really saved me back then, with your current disposition, you think I should look at you more Do you take a look? It’s not enough for you to pretend to be Teng Yuyi, and you are trying to blame her for attacking you. You are in prison yourself, and you don’t forget to drag the entire Teng family into the water. With your vicious heart, I think the saint is too severe Take it easy, first tattoo the word 'three' to teach you how to behave, if you are nagging, you will be punished!"

After speaking, his face sank: "Come here."

Immediately, Gong Wei ran in.

"Shizi."

"Let's take it down for execution."

While struggling hard, Li Huaigu glared at Lin Chengyou viciously. Before being dragged down, he shouted: "Wait! I know the route of the Peng family. As long as I am innocent, I will immediately You can tell the court about these things."

Lin Chengyou didn't bother to talk at all. The Peng family knew that Li Huaigu was planning for the future, so why didn't he adjust the war plan, and if he didn't believe her way, he might put down the rebellion quickly. After listening to her words, the suppression of the rebellion will be far away.

As soon as Li Huaigu was dispatched, Mr. Guan brought four young eunuchs to greet him: "General Teng has arrived before the imperial court. The sage asked his son to bring Mrs. Teng there, and said that he would reward Mrs. Teng personally. Her Royal Highness also came. Already."

Speaks cheerfully.

Teng Yuyi was surprised, Grandpa was in Xiying, so logically he couldn't enter the palace so quickly.

Lin Chengyou was also a little surprised, and said with a smile: "Report to the saint and General Teng, I will bring her here immediately."

Teng Yuyi bowed his head and asked Guan Gonggong with a smile: "Dare to ask Guan Gonggong, is my grandfather in the city today?"

"General Teng came back from Xiying in the morning. When the people in the palace found General Teng, he had just come out of Huayang Lane in Jinggongfang. He hurried into the palace when he heard the summons."

The top of Teng Yuyi's head suddenly seemed to be poured with a basin of cold water. Huayang Lane in Jinggongfang.

This place name has only been heard once, but she must not remember it wrongly. It is Wu Yingying's residence after she came to Chang'an. After being stunned for a long time, I felt my heart was hot and cold, Grandpa...why did he go to Wu Yingying?

Lin Chengyou was thinking about Li Huaigu saying that he said that Teng Yuyi had "not married", thinking about it, a chill came down his back, it must be fake, he did such a stupid thing? Turning her head, she realized that Teng Yuyi's expression was not right.

"What's wrong?"
