The prince looked at Gu Hanqing's sharp eyes, and the muscles in his face suddenly tightened, but after only a moment, he relaxed his face and sneered disapplaubly: "Young Master Gu's words are wrong, we should call it mutual help." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ”

"Help each other?" Gu Hanqing repeated the word meaningfully in his mouth, his eyes darkened, "Then what if Gu refuses to help?"

The prince's face sank when he heard this, and he took a few steps closer to Gu Hanqing, a scorn appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Gu Hanqing, today, do you think you are still qualified to negotiate conditions with this palace?"

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince misunderstood, Gu didn't want to talk to His Highness about any conditions. ”

Gu Hanqing stood up and looked up at the moonlit window, his face still unfazed.

The conspiracy came like a storm, catching people off guard, and by the time he was discovered, he was already at the center of the maelstrom, a scapegoat carefully chosen by the prince.

He knew that the prince's patience was beginning to wear out at the moment, but now, he didn't seem to have any bargaining chips in his hands that could compete with him or contain him, and there was really no other way than to delay time to find out more truth behind it.

"What does Young Master Gu mean?"

The prince followed Gu Hanqing's gaze and glanced at the high window on the wall, and there was a hint of fierceness in his tone, "Do you want to break the jar like this, and beg for death?"

Seeing that Gu Hanqing was calm but did not speak, the prince had some suspicions in his heart. His eyes turned slightly, and he pretended to sigh with emotion and continued: "Young Master Gu, the one who knows the times is Junjie, don't you tell me that for the sake of the so-called brotherhood, you are ready to die generously and abandon the entire Gu family? If this is the case, then it is too stupid, right?"

When the prince said this, his eyes suddenly flashed with a sinister cold light: "You must know that Young Master Gu, you are now bearing a big sin, as long as you confess your guilt, the Gu family will inevitably be responsible." Could it be that for the sake of such an old friend who once snatched love with a knife, are you willing to pull the entire Gu family in for the funeral?"

Although he had long expected that the prince would use the Gu family's threats to force himself to comply, when he revealed these words in front of him, Gu Hanqing's heart still trembled suddenly.

After all, to this day, the Gu family can become the leading business tycoon in Da Zhou, which is the result of his ancestors' accumulation of baht and forged with blood and sweat. Even though the Gu family has a deep foundation and strong financial resources, it has become insignificant compared to the court and the struggle of the royal family. If the prince wants to make a big fuss about this matter and deliberately slander, even if he can't see the Gu family uprooted, it will make his vitality hurt and he will be in turmoil.

And all this is the situation that Gu Hanqing is most unwilling to see and most afraid of seeing.

He would never allow the family property that his ancestors and fathers had placed high hopes on and solemnly entrusted to him to be ruined in his own hands.

But at this moment, he was so powerless that he could only watch this greedy and cunning wolf slaughter him, but he couldn't resist.

Seeing that Gu Hanqing was silent, as if he was pondering the pros and cons, the prince walked to the side and said, "Young Master Gu, the words of this palace have come to this, you are a smart person, you will not understand what to do and what not to do." You are still so young, and you will still enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future, do you bow down and confess your sins for an unworthy person, risk your life, and bury your entire family business? Or choose to move forward and live happily, you choose for yourself. ”

Gu Hanqing pursed his lips, listened to the prince's triumphant words with a stern expression, was silent for a long time, put away his face and turned around and said indifferently: "His Royal Highness the prince has said so much, what do you want Gu to do?"

"It seems that Young Master Gu has finally figured it out. ”

When the prince heard this, he thought that Gu Hanqing had been moved by him, and his eyes showed joy.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just a gesture. The prince said unhurriedly, raising his head and looking at Gu Hanqing, his eyes were sharp, "As long as you put all the blame on the third brother, I guarantee that you can leave here unscathed." Not only that, but in the future, the affairs of the Gu family are the affairs of the palace, and we will definitely become good friends. ”

The prince said, and pretended to caress Gu Hanqing's back affectionately.

Although Gu Hanqing already knew that the prince would use himself to deal with Gao Heng, he did not expect him to be so ruthless, in order to eliminate dissidents and stabilize the position of the prince, he did not hesitate to frame and kill his own brother.

But after thinking about it, he should have thought that the prince wanted to deal with Gao Heng three or four times, and even the accomplices who worked for him in the past could be brutally killed, what else could not be done?

He looked at the prince in a daze, but his mind was thinking fiercely.

What makes Gu Hanqing extremely worried now is that what he is holding at the moment is not only the life and death of the Gu family, but also the fate of Gao Heng and the entire Yan Wangfu.

As a close friend for many years, Gu Hanqing knows very well the hardships and difficulties of Gao Heng from childhood to adulthood, and even being involved in this battle for storage positions is a last resort. Once he points out that Gao Heng is the mastermind of this matter, not to mention anything else, all the efforts that Gao Heng has made over the years to fight against fate will be burned.

In front of Emperor Zhou, he no longer has the strength to compete with the crown prince and compete with him for anything.

In addition, even Cheng Jinzhi and the top and bottom of the Yan Wangfu will be implicated to varying degrees.

"How can you take care of the young master, this palace seems to be very embarrassed when she sees you?" The prince put his hands around his shoulders and said with a smile, "I know that the young master is difficult to accept for a while, how can I say that you used to be good brothers who shared weal and woe and were like-minded." But think about what he has done to you in the past two years, do you still have that love back then? By the way, when it comes to that Princess Yan, if the young master Gu still remembers it, the palace can promise the young master to keep her safe. ”

He said and leaned into Gu Hanqing's ear and said clearly: "Young Master Gu, this palace is really benevolent and righteous. ”

"Yes, of course Gu knows. Gu Hanqing's eyes froze, he pondered for a moment, and a chilling smile appeared on his lips, "Gu just thinks that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's trick of killing people with a knife is really ruthless enough." ”

"Oh, Gu Shaozhu has won the award, but in fact, this palace doesn't want to. The prince smiled slyly disapprovingly, "But as the saying goes, people don't kill the heavens and the earth for their own sake, if Young Master Gu is standing in the position of the palace, he must be able to empathize with him somewhat." ”

Gu Hanqing's hand in his sleeve silently clenched his fist, but on the surface, he still said calmly: "But Gu Mou's strange thing is that this matter has nothing to do with King Yan, based on Gu's own words alone, Is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really sure that he can bring down King Yan?"

"This doesn't have to worry about the young master, the palace has its own way. ”

The prince pretended not to care, lowered his head and dusted off his body. At this moment, the jailer next to the cell leader suddenly walked to the cell and bowed down to ask for instructions.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, Lord Yasukuni Gongcheng is here, saying that he wants to visit this young master of the Gu family. ”
