Qi Lichen opened the curtain and walked in, smiled and said, "I see that you have guests, so I don't dare to disturb." ”

"It's okay, I originally wanted to keep you in the palm of my hand, but I don't know where you went, and I couldn't find anyone for a while, so I had to start by myself first, but a few good ones stayed." Gu Xizhou chuckled and said.

Qi Lichen nodded, in fact, it was not a good thing for Gu Xizhou to be so polite to him, he probably still doubted his intentions, and his purpose was not pure, so he became so polite and alienated.

That's fine, he doesn't have to do anything for Gu Xizhou for the time being, Gu Xizhou probably doesn't believe him very much, since this is the case, it can be regarded as the most comfortable state now, he can enjoy Gu Xizhou's protection, but he doesn't have to do anything for him.

When the time comes, the prime minister will not find any opportunity here, and maybe he will not put his mind on him, after all, the treasure matter is much more important than him.

When no one is watching, maybe you can go back to Qi County.

He didn't know how much the prime minister knew, he just hoped that he would never know about Xi Muyun, and if he wanted to embody it, he would be able to find out, and when the identities of the two people coincided, the prime minister was naturally suspicious.

After pondering for a moment, Qi Lichen reacted, raised his head and said, "It's good for you to decide these things, I can't see anything." ”

Gu Xizhou smiled and nodded, "I look at this person well, but you must participate in this year's palace examination, whether you can win fame or not, this prince welcomes you here." ”

The student was immediately pleasantly surprised, hugged his fists and said, "Thank you to the six princes for your appreciation." ”

"You stand down first." Gu Xizhou waved his hand and said.

The student glanced at Qi Lichen before turning around and retreating.

Gu Xizhou talked to him about the people he met today, it seemed that he trusted him very much, in fact, Qi Lichen also knew that although Gu Xizhou was not as good as Gu Jianglin, the fifth prince, he was by no means an ordinary person.

He did this just to create a feeling that he believed in himself, but in fact, he was really full of doubts behind the scenes, and he didn't even arrange things for himself to do.

Qi Lichen smiled and said some superficially polite words, "Congratulations to the Sixth Prince for gaining some talents." ”

"It's a pity that unless I ascend to the throne, there is no way to give these people what they want, and for these people who are willing to follow me, I have to work hard, don't you say? Mr. Qi. Gu Xizhou said with a slight squint.

Qi Lichen smiled faintly, "Everyone should have their own ambitions, and as a prince, your biggest ambition is naturally the position of the Ninety-Five Lord, so, Sixth Prince, I don't think it's strange, but I think you should improve your ability to be worthy of your ambition." ”

Gu Xizhou smiled, as if he had found a confidant, "Mr. Qi's words really win my heart." ”

Qi Lichen also showed a smile, thought about it, changed the topic and said: "It's been a few days since I came to the capital, I haven't been back for a long time, and I have to prepare for the palace exam this year, so I came here today to bid farewell to the six princes." ”

When Gu Xizhou heard this, a trace of displeasure flashed on his face, "The exam is about to start, so why bother going back, it's better to stay in the capital, and the people who are imaging are eyeing you, if you are alone, it is very likely that you will be taken away by the prime minister's people, and I am afraid that I will not be able to save you at that time." ”

Qi Lichen also knew that Gu Xizhou would not agree to leave when he proposed to leave at this time, but when he remembered that when he came out, his mood was too chaotic, so he didn't say a good word to Xi Muyun, and now he feels very regretful, so I don't know if she blames herself.

So I can't stay here anymore and want to go back as soon as possible.

"It's okay, I still have the ability to protect myself." Qi Lichen said with a smile.

Gu Xizhou still doesn't know his true identity, and he probably doesn't feel at ease with him, so he shook his head and said: "Since you are already my person, then I must consider your safety, you just stay in the capital these days, I can barely protect you in the capital, if I go to other places, I am also powerless, Mr. Qi, I have a lot of words and many questions I want to discuss with you, you are a person with a clear mind, I understand at first sight when I see you." ”

Qi Lichen was embarrassed to mention the matter of leaving again, so he could only sigh and nod in agreement, "Okay, I'll go back after the wind direction stabilizes in a few days." ”

"Why does the gentleman always want to go back?" Gu Xizhou asked: "I know that my husband has no relatives, can't he settle down anywhere?" ”

Qi Lichen opened his mouth but didn't say anything, because he understood that he couldn't involve Xi Duyun in all these disturbances.

Thinking of this, he smiled and said: "The ancients often said that the homeland is difficult to leave, I grew up there anyway, and the place where I have lived for more than ten years, even if it is not as prosperous as the capital, it is much better than the capital, which may be just a personal understanding." ”

Gu Xizhou nodded, "I don't understand Mr.'s thoughts, it's just that it's hard to leave in his homeland, and it's not as important as his life, so it's a matter of time today, I'll send someone to send Mr. back." ”

"At the feet of the Son of Heaven, no one dares to do anything if you want to, so I won't bother you." After Qi Lichen finished speaking, he got up and said goodbye.

After he left, Gu Xizhou said to the cronies around him: "Do you think he has any purpose in doing this?" ”

The cronies shook their heads, "I really can't see it, he is a very serious person, as if he has some secrets in his heart, and I don't know what the purpose is when I go back this time, otherwise I will send someone to investigate, what is he doing over there in Qixian?" ”

"This person is a great talent, if he can be kept by his side, it will naturally be the best, and he will definitely be able to add help to my progress, but if the mind is not pure, no matter how talented a person is, it will also become a sharp sword, I don't know who this sword will stab in the end." Gu Xizhou shook his head as he spoke, sighed again, stood up and said: "Last time, we were seriously injured, and we need to gather more talents around us. ”

"Yes, this time you and Prime Minister fought too hard, tossing a few generals one after another, although some people saved their lives, but there is no way to use them anymore, these people quit the court, but they are also a useless outcast, it's time to let fresh blood flow into the court." The cronies shook their heads, at that time, they fought to the death in the court, and the result was that both sides lost, but the dam of the five princes was built, which was quite praised in the court.

If this time the emperor gave a special reward to the fifth prince Gu Jianglin for his meritorious work in building the dam, then the direction of the court would change again.

Those old ministers, although they do not stand on any partisan strife on the surface, but in fact, they are more cunning than the other, and they will only choose to stand aside when the emperor has the intention of establishing a prince.

Such a person is smart and lives a long time, but I am afraid that he will not do much in his life.

"In terms of promoting talents, the prime minister is much more convenient than me, I hope there will be no accidents at that time." Gu Xizhou sighed and said.

"Although Mr. Qi can give you a lot of advice, we still don't trust him now, so let's not let him get involved in this matter." The cronies said.

Gu Xizhou nodded in agreement.
