Ling Guogong is sick.

Therefore, it was Ji Yunbao, the son of Lingguo Gong Ji Qu and the brother of Concubine Ling Ji Fangtong, who welcomed Gu Ju into the mansion.

He had previously served in the military town of Jingbei Daying, and was later transferred out of the military town by Xu Zhengyuan, and became a squire in the criminal department of the six departments.

Ji Yunbao's attitude in the face of Gu Juan was extremely respectful, and he did not dare to have the slightest slackness.

First, because of the rocket-like promotion speed of His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan, from a white coat to a cavalry counselor, and then to a thousand households, followed by a pacification envoy, a knighted ten thousand households and an official worship of the commander of the cavalry, and now he seems to have become a thousand years old King of Zhennan, not to mention the founding of the Great Wei Dynasty, it has been counted all the way from ancient times to the present, and among all the dynasties that dominate the world, there has never been a second candidate.

Of course, there is another reason, which is more important than the official position and the prince, that is, compared with ordinary people, His Royal Highness the King of Zhennan can no longer imagine the strong strength that can't even look up.

Breaking the city with the power of one person, breaking the army with the power of one person, and even destroying the country with the power of one person, in the intelligence collected by Ji Yunbao, this is not a joke of bragging, but a terrifying fact that is really being seriously discussed, and even recognized by many people.

Therefore, it is impossible to say that such a noble person, especially a person with extraordinary strength, suddenly came to his home, and it is impossible to say that he is not nervous or afraid, and of course it is impossible to say that he does not want to take this opportunity to have a relationship with him.

After drinking a few cups of tea in a friendly group in the living room, Gu Juan turned the topic from the weather and people's livelihood and the invasion of the wolf clan to another direction.

Straightforwardly asked if there was anything unusual in the house recently.

Ji Yunbao was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously just about to shake his head, but at the last moment, he stopped stiffly, lowered his head and frowned, and after thinking for a while, he was a little uncertain, "Back to the prince's words, if you talk about the abnormal situation, I don't know if my father's sudden illness is counted." ”

"You can tell me in detail how the old man Ling Guogong got sick and what kind of disease he had. ”

"You can tell me in detail how the old man Ling Guogong got sick and what kind of disease he had. ”

Not long after, Gu Juan came to the courtyard where Ling Guogong lived under the guidance of Ji Yunbao.

Outside, there were many armored generals who stood in the cold wind, and after seeing Ji Yunbao, they came over to pay respects, obviously the protégé and former official of Lao Ling Guogong who was single-handedly cultivated in the forbidden army.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, there was a strong smell of herbs in his nose, and the maid steward guarding the door saw Ji Yunbao coming, and hurriedly knelt down and saluted, while talking about the changes in the body of Ling Guogong this day.

The wooden door of the bedroom was slowly pushed open, and Gu Juan saw the old man lying on the bed at first glance.

He didn't expect that Ling Guogong's illness would be so severe, and it seemed that he had reached the point where he was dying and his life was hanging by a thread.

Ji Yunbao sighed lowly, and tried to calm his tone, "Don't hide it from the prince, since my father's illness, the doctors from the famous medical halls in the capital have been invited, and the imperial doctors in the palace have also come, and their statements are basically the same. ”

Gu Juan didn't ask what the doctors said, because now Ling Guogong's condition was clear at a glance, and after a moment of silence, he patted him on the shoulder, "Don't panic, I also have someone at home who is proficient in the art of Qihuang, and you can come to treat Lao Guogong again." ”

"Thank you for your grace. Ji Yunbao's eyes were red, and he immediately knelt down to thank him.

After carefully probing for a long time with the Divine Punishment Blue Fire and Divine Observation Qi Technique, Gu Juan didn't find anything wrong, closed his eyes and slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, "After Guogong fell ill, how many times did your sister come back?"

Ji Yunbao said, "If you go back to the prince, Concubine Ling has come to visit twice, and the most recent one is almost ten years away from now. ”

Ten years......

Comparing the words of Gonggong Qin, it can be roughly deduced that after Concubine Ling returned to the palace for the second time, she met the monster that looked like a fox, and then fell into the continuous nightmare town, and she has not been relieved until now.

Contacting the information provided by Su Mu again, he had to start to be a little suspicious, could it be that the starting point of such a series of events was really going to fall in the Lingguo Mansion?

"Ji Shilang, I want to know where Ling Zun went and what he did before he got sick. ”

Ji Yunbao was stunned for a moment, and when the butler who was about to guard the door called in, "Now you tell the master the itinerary before his illness to Zhennan Wang Chitose in detail, don't miss anything." ”

After a moment of reflection and recollection, the butler began to talk in great detail.

I have to say that he has a pretty good memory, and he speaks in an organized manner, and is good at summarizing, so even if it is the content of countless trivial matters superimposed, it doesn't sound like a mess and can't grasp the point.

Gu Juan listened quietly without saying a word, and only suddenly spoke after the tea time, interrupting the butler's narration, "You just said that Guogong has been going to the study every night to read books since twenty days ago, and then even when he just felt unwell, he didn't stop this behavior?"

The housekeeper nodded and said, "Back to the prince, the villain will never be mistaken." ”

Ji Yunbao sighed and said, "Xia Guan also feels strange about this, because my father has been serving in the forbidden army for a long time, and he once told Xia Guan alone before, and he is most annoyed to read those dense small words on books in his life. ”

"And his old man really didn't have any interest in other books except for a few military books, even the study room was built for the sake of good looks, and he basically didn't go in a few times for so many years. ”

Gu Juan got up from the chair and walked outside, "Where is the study, take me to have a look." ”

After a short time, under the leadership of Ji Yunbao and the housekeeper, he had already come to a three-story building that could be called a library building.

I have to say that although this old man doesn't like to read, but the face project is really solid, and people who don't know it may really be amazed by this library building at a glance, thinking that this is the style that can only be possessed by a real scholarly family.

Suddenly, a line of writing appeared in front of his eyes.

It was the ugly dog who was reminding, "It smells of blood." ”

"Why didn't I smell it, dog, are you sure?"

"Sure, don't forget, my subordinates eat and drink blood, how can there be mistakes in the aspect of jobs?"

Gu Juan paused outside the door of this three-story small building for a while, and suddenly beckoned to call the butler who was waiting not far away.

"Here, here, and these places, find someone to come and dig for me, dig deeper. ”

The housekeeper was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at Ji Yunbao.

Ji Yunbao was silent for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "You idiot, since the prince has a life, how can he not obey it!?"

Soon, a group of family members were called over, and they quickly dug down according to the place pointed by Gu Ju.

As time passed, they dug deeper and deeper, and the hole grew bigger and bigger, but they still found nothing.

I just don't know if it's an illusion, as if the atmosphere in the whole courtyard is becoming weird and condensed little by little.
