Chapter 281: Deliberately Concealed
When Zhou Qingwu watched him say those words, Gu Xiao was not happy in his heart.
Gu Xiao raised his head and looked at Zhou Qingwu in shock, "Your Majesty, your subordinates don't dare to be ........"
He rescued King Rui just because King Rui was not kind to him, without him, there would be no Gu Xiao today.
So no matter how big the sea of fire is, he will still rush in and bring King Rui out.
"Don't dare?" Zhou Qingwu looked at Gu Xiao meaningfully and said, "You brought King Rui out of the fire, didn't you want to be in his position?" ”
King Rui is a king with a different surname, and he is personally sealed, and he is not a royal bloodline, so as long as King Rui dies, if there is no heir to inherit it, it is naturally a matter of Zhou Qingwu's will.
When the words fell, Gu Xiao had already knelt in front of Zhou Qingwu again, "Your Majesty, the prince is kind to his subordinates, and his subordinates don't have other ideas to save the prince." ”
Zhou Qingwu didn't speak, just looked at him quietly, that kind of look was full of scrutiny.
Gu Xiao gritted his teeth and bowed to Zhou Qingwu: "If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, your subordinates are willing to leave the Rui Wang's Mansion from now on and never enter the capital again." I just ask Your Majesty to allow your subordinates to leave after the funeral for the prince! ”
Zhou Qingwu was a little surprised, he originally just wanted to test Gu Xiao, but he didn't expect that he would be willing to give up everything he had for King Rui?
A prince's cronies are even more face-saving than the prefect of a place.
Gu Xiao actually said no at this moment?
After a while, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhou Qingwu's mouth: "Without a funeral, King Rui will not die." ”
Gu Xiao raised his head suspiciously, King Rui won't die? But it was clear that he saw the prince die with his own eyes.
"Get up!" Zhou Qingwu said to him: "You are a red city for King Rui, I am wrong to blame you." ”
Gu Xiao hesitated for a moment before standing up, "Your Majesty is serious. ”
Zhou Qingwu looked at Gu Xiao and smiled lightly, "Since he ordered you to come, he naturally trusts you the most, and he also wants you to sit in his place, otherwise, how could he give you the waist card before he died, and ask you to enter the palace?" ”
Gu Xiao didn't know what to say, so he only replied: "Yes, it's the subordinates who are stupid." ”
"The fact that you were able to save him from the fire shows that you are also courageous and heartfelt. Since this is the wish of your master, will you not sit in the position of the wise king? ”
King Rui has a lot of information in his hands, and King Rui is dead, and it is the best decision for his cronies to replace King Rui.
"Subordinates listen to His Majesty's orders!" After a while, Gu Xiao arched his hand and said.
Zhou Qingwu's smile deepened, patted Gu Xiao's shoulder and said with relief: "That's right, in the next few days, I will send someone to find a famous doctor to change your appearance, before that, you can't meet anyone who comes." ”
Gu Xiao responded: "Yes!" Subordinates obeyed. ”
Since that night, Gu Xiao has become the affectionate Rui King in the capital.
Rui Wangfu suffered a fire, after extinguishing the Rui princess died, Rui Wang was sick for a few days, and the house was about to be rebuilt, and no one visited at this time for a while.
Gu Xiao's original heart was also relieved in this quiet, but he didn't expect that at this time, Mei Yufeng, the city lord of Qingfeng City, actually sent someone here.
On the second day, the guard came to the palace of King Rui again, and when Ah Si saw him coming, he immediately said, "You came on time." ”
The guard smiled faintly, but said nothing.
Ah Si said to him: "The prince came back yesterday, and I have already conveyed what you said. ”
"Did the prince have anything to say to you?"
Ah Si said with a smile: "The prince said that if you come today, I will invite you to the study for tea." ”
As he spoke, he welcomed him into the house, "Please! ”
"There is labor." As soon as the guard gave up his hand, he stepped into the courtyard of King Rui's mansion.
Sure enough, his silver was not in vain.
I followed the attendants in King Rui's mansion to the study, but it was empty, and no one was inside.
The attendant who led the way said, "The prince will be here later!" ”
He nodded, and stood at the table waiting for King Rui to arrive.
After waiting for about a cup of tea, he suddenly heard a 'squeak' knock on the door, and turned his head to see a guard walking in with a straddle knife, and behind him, there was no one else.
"Who are you?" The guard didn't dare to make a mistake, and looked at Gu Xiao respectfully and said.
Gu Xiao smiled and arched his hand, and said to him: "The prince has something to do temporarily, so he sent me over, I don't know if the city lord of Mei has something important to say?" ”
The guard was a little puzzled, but seeing that Gu Xiao had nothing unusual, he replied: "It's not a big deal, it's just that a few days ago, a woman passed by Qingfeng City with Princess Rui's waist card, and when she went out of the city, she injured several of our city lord's guards, and said that it was the meaning of Rui Wangfu, and the city lord of Mei felt that this matter was very strange, so he sent his subordinates to the capital to inquire about it, but this matter?" ”
Gu Xiao was shocked, Princess Rui had already died in the fire, even if she didn't die, there was no one around her who could be used, how could she order someone to go out to run errands, and pass by Qingfeng City?
Gu Xiao asked, "Have you looked carefully?" Is it indeed Princess Rui's waist card? ”
"Yes. That's right! It was the princess's waist card. ”
Hearing his answer, Gu Xiao quickly thought about something in his heart, "Our prince didn't send someone to go out with the princess's waist card to do anything, the princess has been sick in bed for a long time, and she has never given such an order." ”
"Thank you." The guard arched his hand and said, "With these two words, the subordinates should go back to their lives." ”
"You're welcome, I'm just passing the word for the prince!" Gu Xiao smiled, looked at him and said slowly: "It's just that there is one thing that is really confused in my heart, I don't know if my brother can answer one or two?" ”
"But it doesn't hurt to say it." Although he didn't see King Rui, fortunately, he got accurate news at this moment, and he was naturally in a good mood.
Gu Xiao said lightly: "What does that woman look like?" And why did you injure the guards of the Lord of Mei City? ”
When the guard heard Gu Xiao ask, he was slightly stunned, "That woman's appearance is not what I saw with my own eyes, and when my subordinates went back and asked the city lord, if the prince Rui wanted, I guess the city lord would send someone to send a portrait over!" ”
Gu Xiao nodded, looked at him and asked, "Then why did you make a move against the guards of the Mei City Lord?" ”
If it is a stolen waist card, now that the princess is dead, it is too late to hide it, how can it be displayed in front of the city lord's guards?
Presumably, it was the urgency of step by step, or some other necessity, that he showed the token to save his life.
Although the guard knew the truth, those pickled things were exposed to this Rui King's Mansion no matter what.
"The subordinates just came to inquire about this matter for the city lord, and if there are more left, the subordinates will not know."
Gu Xiao looked at the guard in front of him, knowing that he was deliberately concealing it, so he didn't say anything more.
