Chapter 243: Floating Clouds at the Palace Gate
Gu Qingpei thought as he ran, chasing after Gu Qingyun's mark.
Besides, it would be too unfair to this young lady if she only became a concubine.
She is so cute and smart, has a good business sense, and cooks delicious meals. More importantly, she is very polite and I have never seen her do anything inconsiderate.
A young lady like this can support the entire family no matter whose family she works as a wife.
Even he had such thoughts after only meeting her a few times. Naturally, other people would not ignore this pearl in the ocean.
Gu Qingyun ran forward angrily. He really felt that something was wrong with his whole condition recently.
Things that I used to be able to figure out have recently become stuck in a rut.
Whether it was investigating the case or dealing with An Qiao, he didn't know what was going on.
It's like being in a dark, looking at the world through the drum skin, everything is hazy.
What's more, it all happened so quickly that he didn't have time to react before all the feelings came over him.
He really seemed to like An Qiao, but he had never liked anyone in his entire life, otherwise why would he be single at the age of 24 and still unmarried?
He only remembered that when he was young, he seemed to be very popular with girls, either for money, or for the power and interests of his family, and some people were attracted by his face.
No one had ever treated him so purely, like an ordinary person.
So he gradually lost interest in people, and just wanted to be ordinary. Because of this, he originally thought of being single for the rest of his life, and even though his family urged him to get married, they didn't force him to do anything.
In this respect, he seemed to be luckier than all the children of the aristocratic families.
He kept running forward and unknowingly reached the palace gate.
He wanted to take a few months off, seriously.
He suddenly didn't know what he should do. When the numerous and diverse cases piled up in front of his desk, he only felt pain.
Originally, unraveling the mystery was a happy thing, as he could slowly move towards the truth step by step.
But as time went on, he would always accidentally see the dark side of the world and was always afraid to face these fears.
"Please pass on the message that I want to see the emperor." Gu Qingyun lowered his voice and had regained a certain degree of calmness at this moment.
The guard at the palace gate recognized Gu Qingyun and quickly nodded and went inside to find the eunuch who was in charge of the message.
"Sir Shaoqing, please wait a moment. The court has not yet ended." The guard said politely. The man in front of him could be considered a close minister of the emperor, so he had to be treated politely.
It was still court time, so Gu Qingyun could not see the emperor, so he did not embarrass the eunuchs and guards at the palace gate. He just nodded, stepped aside, and waited quietly.
About half a minute later, Gu Qingpei arrived at the palace gate out of breath.
Seeing that my brother was standing aside calmly, I thought he had thought it through.
"What are you standing here for?" Gu Qing Pei was still out of breath. He had just finished breakfast in the morning and hadn't digested it yet. Just running for this meal made his stomach hurt.
Gu Qingyun stood in front of the palace gate and looked at Gu Qingpei, "I want to see the emperor. Please ask for leave. I should also take a rest."
Since taking office at the Dali Temple, Gu Qingyun has worked his way up to the position of Shaoqing of the Dali Temple, and even has to be on duty during the Chinese New Year and other holidays.
There were several sudden murders during the Chinese New Year and we had to deal with them.
This is why the Dali Temple has a harder time than other departments.
“Just taking a break, not resigning?” Gu Qing Pei put his hands on his hips, totally disregarding his image. He was almost out of breath, why should he care about his image?
"Of course...and, brother, don't you have to go to court this morning?" Gu Qingyun looked at the palace gate. Gu Qingpei had to go to court every day, and it was a rare occasion that he stood at the palace gate with him today.
"You were drunk yesterday, so of course I asked for leave. Otherwise, how could I dare to go to have breakfast with you so early in the morning? Would it be too late?" Gu Qing Pei said unhappily, his eyes almost rolling to the sky.
Gu Qingyun smiled, "That's really embarrassing, brother. I shouldn't be so willful. If I were in that restaurant, I would feel at ease. But when I see the young lady smiling with others, I feel a little uncomfortable. It was obviously not like this before. I don't know when something became wrong."
Gu Qingyun looked at the sky. The sun had already come out. He didn't know what was going on today, but the sky was very blue and beautiful. Although there were not many clouds, they were coming and going, making him feel carefree.
"And the Dali Temple, I can no longer find my original intention of handling cases. Now many cases seem to have to consider whether they can be touched, and many people have to think about whether they can catch the criminals. This is not my original intention, it is too tiring for me." Gu Qingyun paused and looked at the cloud in the sky seriously.
Gu Qing Pei followed his line of sight and smiled as well, "You have always loved freedom since you were young. You always told me at home that this family doesn't allow you to be free, and you will do something to change this in the future."
GuQingPei laughed, it turned out that a person's character is determined at the age of three.
When he was a child, Gu Qingyun didn't like going to school, especially the red tape.
Later, he was forced to go to school and worked hard until today. He climbed over the wall every day in the Imperial College. He was criticized countless times and his name had been left at the door for many years.
I finally passed the exam, but chose the Dali Temple, which is the least free.
Fortunately, except for the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, no one in the Dali Temple had to attend court. Even the Chief Justice of the Dali Temple did not have to attend court every day, so when there were no cases, he could indeed "steal a half day of leisure."
But this is only the positive side, there is also the negative side.
For example, the things you come into contact with are more complicated than each other, and as Gu Qingyun said, there are many people you cannot offend.
"Have you discussed this with the other people in the Dali Temple?" Gu Qing Pei suddenly thought of something, turned his head and looked at him. His eyes were full of seriousness, curiosity and doubt.
As expected, Gu Qingyun shook his head, his eyebrows slightly lowered, "I haven't thought it through yet, so I haven't said anything. Now that I've thought it through, I need to rest for a while, but if I tell them, I won't be able to rest anymore."
Gu Qingyun looked at the bluestone brick wall under his feet and couldn't help but sighed deeply, "I really don't know what to do. We all went to handle the Guojiazhuang case together. We also met the old Jingdu government official together. He even reminded me to go back and ask my grandparents. Everyone was there. I don't know what to say. The emperor doesn't allow us to investigate. I don't know what kind of explanation I should give for this case."
