Chapter 534 Intelligence
A person who doesn't put his mind on the major affairs of the country and has been making small moves behind his back, how can he be worthy of being a prince?
If he, the prince, is not qualified, then only Gu Shenyuan will personally go into battle.
Even if she doesn't want to, she can't ignore the people in the world.
Jiang Ruanyan hid in the quilt when he returned to the tent, remembering the conversation just now, he couldn't help but snicker, even if she was allowed to enter the palace, Gu Shenyuan could say it so sweetly.
She is not a child anymore, so she can naturally distinguish what is a lie packaged with sweet words and what is the truth.
With Gu Shenyuan's identity, let alone getting rid of the royal background, it is difficult to even have a fief and live a life like a crane in the clouds.
What's more, the current situation is so grim, and the people and the emperor are obviously more inclined to let him take the throne, including herself.
Although she was reluctant to enter the palace, compared to Gu Gangqian, Gu Shenyuan's actions were more like a king.
His elder brother, when he thought of Jiang Ruanyan, only shook his head, he had never seen a man whose mind was more troublesome than a woman.
I don't want to do so much, anyway, with Gu Shenyuan's words, she is also at ease, even if she wants to enter the palace, how can she have Gu Shenyuan by her side, what is there to be afraid of.
At night, Gu Shenyuan also returned to the tent, and it was time to rest after a tired day today.
It is a good choice to fall asleep at night, and some people take advantage of the darkness to start acting.
At night, there was a horse-drawn carriage walking on the street, and the whole team of people was sneaky.
The magnificence of the carriage was evident, but there was no large retinue around.
When he arrived at the gate of the Xia Mansion, the coachman came down and carefully picked up a person in a black robe, and the man did not delay, got out of the car and went directly to the gate of the Xia Mansion.
Xia Zhiyi, who had just finished washing in the middle of the night, was about to go to bed, but the door of the quilt room was opened.
She was startled and came back to her senses, only to see a man in a black robe enter her bedroom generously.
"Who are you? Dare to trespass into the boudoir late at night, someone is coming! She pulled the quilt to her chest, and she was very afraid of the person in front of her.
If the assassin is more likely to enter through the roof or window, this person can actually walk in through the door generously, it is certainly not an ordinary person.
The other party didn't answer him, just took off his hat, and Xia Zhiyi saw his face clearly.
"Your Highness?" Shocked, Xia Zhiyi even forgot to salute.
"Why are you here? Didn't you go to the Frontier? ”
"I'm going to come back." Gu Gangqian unhurriedly untied his cloak.
Xia Zhiyi recalled, "The little woman Xia Zhiyi visited ......"
"Okay, don't use this set, I came to you today because I have something to say, come and sit."
Before Xia Zhiyi's salute was finished, Gu Gangqian interrupted her.
Hearing that His Royal Highness let him pass, Xia Zhiyi took his coat and put it on the side, and cautiously walked to the table.
"When I was not in the capital during this time, I knew everything that happened, and I was the first person to be grounded by my second brother."
knew that ridicule was impolite, but Gu Gangqian really couldn't help it.
It all started with this grounding, and when he talked about it, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Yes, Your Highness." Xia Zhiyi reluctantly admitted.
"Actually, I still have to blame that Jiang Ruanyan, who deliberately held the competition, just didn't want me to win, and took the opportunity to say bad things about me in front of His Royal Highness, and bewitched the public outside, His Highness must have been bewitched by her to treat me like this."
Xia Zhiyi was indignant.
She didn't want to lose face, so she naturally claimed to her subordinates that it was Gu Shenyuan who gave her special treatment, and specially looked for these people to protect her.
But after a long time, the servant is not a fool, and he can basically guess it.
How can there be any protection of his beloved, he will not see him, and every time he asks these people to stay away from him with Xia Zhiyi.
Everyone also knew in their hearts that they were just forced by Xia Zhiyi's obscenity to dare not say it.
"What about the abuse of the maid later, which Jiang Ruanyan forced you to do?"
Xia Zhiyi was obviously stunned, "Your Highness, I, I don't know what you're talking about?" ”
"You don't have to pretend in front of me, I said that I am not in the capital, but I know everything that often happens."
After sitting down for so long, Xia Zhiyi was busy explaining, and he didn't pour him a cup of tea, so he could only do it himself.
He looked helpless when he picked up the teapot, but Xia Zhiyi didn't dare to help him now.
"On the day of the competition, Dancui was disqualified from the competition due to a public injury examination, and the world is known to have cheated during the competition, right?"
"Yes......" Xia Zhiyi replied tremblingly, and she had no way to continue to find reasons and excuses at this point.
"And at that time, everyone unanimously asked you to bring Dancui back for treatment, so that she could recuperate well, and you promised to be good outside, but as soon as she got home, she was immediately beaten, and then you sent her to Yihong Hospital."
Gu Gangqian looked at her with a scrutinizing face, Xia Zhiyi never thought that what happened in his backyard was actually known by His Highness.
But she thought about it for a while, "Your Highness, it's just a maid, it shouldn't be." ”
Xia Zhiyi regained a trace of sanity, she was just a maid, who would tear her face for her and Xia Zhiyi?
Even if Gu Gangqian is standing in front of her now, saying that she is doing something wrong, what can she do?
This maid is the maid of Xia Mansion, and she obeys Xia Zhiyi's orders, and it is her right to deal with her, and others have no right to interfere.
And she didn't do anything hurtful, she just punished her for something else as the master.
As for the sale to a brothel, what evidence does an outsider have?
She didn't believe that Gu Gangqian came over today because he wanted to punish her for this incident.
"No, but if you let people fall into the handle, then the problem is serious."
Gu Gangqian picked up the teacup and took a sip, "You will be the princess in the future, do you think it will be enough to fall like this?" ”
Xia Zhiyi instantly lifted his spirit, "Your Highness, do you mean that you can call me out?" ”
The two of them have been in a state of cooperation before, but Gu Gangqian is uncertain, and his cooperation is basically just to complete that one thing together.
And the subsequent actions were completely spaced, and sometimes Xia Zhiyi couldn't tell whether he was friend or foe.
"To tell you the truth, this time I went to Biansai to collect a lot of evidence, so that one day I can personally solve Gu Shenyuan."
It's just that Gu Shenyuan, as His Royal Highness Tianlun, is not so easy to solve.
Gu Gangqian's words made Xia Zhiyi creepy again.
"In that case, I think it's better to arrange a family affair for him, divide a fief, and let him take the beauty to the fiefdom to live the life of their little couple, okay?"
Of course, this is good for Xia Zhiyi.
"But I also have a request for this wife, that person must help me keep an eye on him, or if I release him, then I may be worth dealing with him myself."
Gu Gangqian's words, Xia Zhiyi understood, he just wanted to achieve a win-win state.
She didn't want Gu Shenyuan to compete for the throne with him, and if she could agree to help him entangle Gu Shenyuan, then he would not only be able to let Gu Shenyuan live, but also ensure that the two of them would eventually become married, wouldn't it be beautiful.
"I understand His Highness's words, but now that I'm still confined to my home, I'm afraid there is nothing that can help Your Highness."
Xia Zhiyi seized the opportunity to start complaining.
Although this grounding is a very small punishment, it is a very serious matter for Xia Zhiyi.
She hadn't seen Gu Shenyuan for so long, she really didn't have any tricks at all.
If Gu Gangqian can help her find a way to let her out, then the two of them will have the possibility of cooperation.
Gu Gangqian put down the teacup.
"You must have overestimated my ability, your grounding was personally ordered by my father, although it was not announced in the public court, but it was also his old man's holy decree, what can you do for me?"
This Xia Zhiyi is really whimsical.
After saying so much and still couldn't take himself out, Xia Zhiyi sat aside in frustration, as if he was deflated and didn't want to talk to him.
What I said just now is a win-win situation, but now I can't save her out, and in the end it's not all nonsense.
Gu Gangqian turned the cup absentmindedly, and said casually, "Xia Zhiyi can't go out, but you can go out." ”
Xia Zhiyi was very confused.
"Your Highness, I don't quite understand what you mean." Can this Gu Gangqian save her?
"Let me put it this way, you are forbidden enough to come and have someone come to visit you in the mansion?"
Xia Zhiyi thought about it for a while, except for Gu Gangqian who came tonight, no one took the initiative to come at other times?
She shook her head at Gu Gangqian.
"In that case, who knows if you're in this room or not?"
This makes sense, but as soon as she appears outside, everyone else will know about it, not to mention that she can't get out now.
As if reading the thoughts in her head, Gu Gangqian continued to drink tea.
"Those guards guarding you are just a pair of eyes, just blindfolded."
Xia Zhiyi still didn't quite understand, but she was basically sure that Gu Gangqian was planning to save her.
She immediately saluted Gu Gangqian, "Your Highness, I promise you that no matter what method you use to rescue me, as long as I can get out, I will cooperate with you wholeheartedly and look at His Royal Highness firmly." ”
Gu Gangqian also made an exception and enthusiastically helped her up.
"I'm relieved to have your words."
"You can do your business with peace of mind, even if Jiang Ruanyan has the background of the previous dynasty, then I should not be underestimated, not to mention that the previous dynasty has perished, what can she fight with me with the identity of a princess?"
Xia Zhiyi raised his head majestically, looking like he would not give up if he did not marry Gu Shenyuan.
And Gu Gangqian, who was behind her, remembered another thing.
During this time, he went to Biansai in order to collect intelligence, but after checking and checking, he still couldn't get anything for a long time.
Those who know Jiang Ruanyan say that she has lived in Tianlun since she was a child, and a woman was raised alone, but later because of a fire, the woman died in the fire.
Since then, Jiang Ruanyan has begun to brave the rivers and lakes alone.
