Chapter 168: The Truth
## #ζ ζεΊ, atrium
Gu Yanran entered the atrium and happened to see Zi Su walking down from the rockery pavilion.
Zi Su walked towards Gu Yanran. "Miss Yan, you're back."
"Hmm." Gu Yanran bowed, then looked up at the gazebo and asked. "The second prince is on it?"
Perilla blessing body. "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"I see, you go down first." Gu Yanran withdrew the perilla.
Waiting for Zisu to turn around and leave, Gu Yanran walked into the flower garden and climbed the rockery into the pavilion.
In the pavilion, Nangong Xuanyi was sitting with his back straight, and when he saw Gu Yanran's figure, he showed a sincere smile.
"Coming back?" Nangong Xuanyi took the clean tea cup, added an appropriate amount of tea, and handed it to Gu Yanran. "I heard it's your favorite tea."
Gu Yanran didn't pick up the teacup, but propped up her chin with one hand and stared at Nangong Xuanyi. "Explain, it's Mei Xiang again, it's me acting again, and there's that lingering and sad scene...... What's going on today? β
She had been staying well in Shangheng Academy, but suddenly someone came to inform her, saying that the second prince had been calculated in the third prince's mansion and needed her to go to rescue her immediately.
And when she and the messenger arrived at the Three Princes' Mansion, they met him in a secluded courtyard.
Moreover, he is also fragrant.
However, Nangong Xuanyi had already suppressed Mei Xiang's attack with internal force, and the situation was quite stable.
She is a healer and carries with her several pills for emergencies, including antidotes for common toxins.
Nangong Xuanyi took a stick of incense after eating the antidote, and Meixiang was completely relieved, but before she had time to ask about the situation, she was taken to the guest compartment to co-act in a play, and she also watched a play by the way.
Now that she is alone with him, she can finally solve her doubts.
"Ahem." Nangong Xuanyi coughed lightly twice in embarrassment. "That's it...... Someone tried to calculate me, and when I found out, I calculated and calculated another person. β
Gu Yanran was slightly startled. "The Fourth Prince's matter was calculated by you?"
Nangong Xuanyi said frankly. "The DPRK and China are now secretly divided into three parties, the third emperor's brother, the sixth emperor's brother, and the eighth emperor's brother belong to the same party, the fifth emperor's brother is a neutral faction, and the crown prince and the fourth prince are another party. As for me, there is no power in the DPRK and China, and I am not qualified to compete for the crown prince, so there is no party or faction. β
"I probably understand what you said, but what does this have to do with your calculations of the four princes?" Gu Yanran was puzzled.
"The crown prince and the fourth prince have always been incompatible with the three emperor brothers, but this time they all came to the 100-day banquet of the little prince." Nangong Xuanyi continued to explain. "Halfway through today's banquet, the prince took the initiative to come and drink with me, and I thought it was strange, but he poured a glass of wine directly on me."
Gu Yanran heard the signs. "Are you saying that the crown prince wants to calculate you, and then you will calculate and calculate the four princes?"
"That's right." Nangong Xuanyi bowed.
"But I still don't understand, what's the point of you calculating the four princes?" Gu Yanran even guessed. "Are you trying to drive a wedge between the four princes and the crown prince?"
Nangong Xuanyi chuckled and shook his head. "The two of them don't need me to make a divisive plan, and the four princes themselves are not really on the side of the prince, and the ambitions of the four princes ...... I'm afraid it's on par with the crown prince. β
Gu Yanran suddenly felt a little headache. "I don't care about the ambitions of the four princes for the time being, but how could Gu Qiuyu get involved in this? You just said that the prince was calculating you, so Gu Qiuyu was completely self-inflicted today. β
"Do you think that Gu Qiuyu and the prince are plotting against me?" Nangong Xuanyi.
"Am I guessing wrong?"
Nangong Xuanyi knocked on the table with one hand and told the truth. "In fact, it was the prince and Gu Kerou who reached a consensus to calculate me, and Gu Qiuyu happened to overhear this plan and stunned Gu Kerou to replace him."
"This is the case...... Gee. Gu Yanran only felt that Gu Qiuyu was unlucky, and couldn't help but sigh. I really don't know if Gu Qiuyu is too unlucky, or Gu Kerou is too lucky, if it weren't for Gu Qiuyu's suffering, it would be Gu Kerou who suffered. β
Nangong Xuanyi was aggrieved. "Yan'er, why don't you care about me? Aren't you scared at all? I almost lost my name! β
Gu Yanran glanced at him. "Aren't you sitting here innocent?"
"But I need your attention." Nangong Xuanyi pretended to cover his chest. "My weak heart has been seriously hurt, as my daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, it is not too much for you to comfort me, right?"
"Please put an end to this pointless topic." Gu Yanran.
Nangong Xuanyi was sitting on his lap. "Okay."
Gu Yanran decided to change the topic to a meaningful one. "By the way, is Ye Qianhan married? Or does he have someone he likes? β
"It's not ......" Nangong Xuanyi hadn't finished speaking, and he was nervous. Yan'er, you already have me, we are ordered to get married, you can't and you are not allowed to have other ideas! β
Gu Yanran was extremely helpless. "It's a girl I know who likes Ye Qianhan, this girl is very good, gentle and beautiful, and she is also kind, if Ye Qianhan doesn't have a favorite person, I want to pull them together."
"That's a coincidence." Nangong Xuanyi teased. "He complained about the injustice of heaven a few days ago, and he has not assigned him a daughter-in-law until now, so when the day is right, let them meet."
Gu Yanran readily agreed. "Okay."
In the evening, Gu Yanran left Nangong Xuanyi to dine in Yingyue Mansion.
After dinner, Gu Yanran was sending Nangong Xuanyi out of the house when she heard him mention a piece of news.
"This morning, there was a report from the border pass in the DPRK, saying that the enemy army was defeated, and it was decided to submit to my Yeyu and become a subsidiary, and the national division was about to return to the DPRK."
"Defeated so quickly?" Gu Yanran was really shocked. "I remember that the war period of the border battles is calculated according to the year, and it has only been four months since he rushed to the border pass, and he has directly surrendered the enemy army, this is a natural god of war."
Nangong Xuanyi raised his eyebrows. "Is it really good to praise other men like this in front of me?"
ββ¦β¦ Slow down and don't send! β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Late at night, Mu Sitao meticulously cleaned up the stove room that had been used all day.
And outside the window behind the stove room, there was a 'pop' sound for the third time this month.
Mu Sitao paused as she wiped the stove. "......" The man is here again.
'Click', another muffled sound.
ββ¦β¦οΌοΌβ Shiso wondered.
Obviously, this 'click' sound only sounded once in the past, why did it sound twice now?
'Click', a heavier muffled sound came.
Something could have happened...... Mu Sitao thought so, put down the rough handkerchief in his hand, pushed open the wooden door of the stove room and walked out.
Sure enough, the black shadow she had seen a few times by chance fell motionless by the stone wall, seemingly unconscious.
Mu Sitao approached the black shadow and crouched down to probe his snort. "......" don't die here.
Seeing that Mu Sitao's hand was about to reach under the black shadow's nose, the black shadow suddenly opened her hands and grabbed her wrist.
"Not dead." Mu Sitao judged indifferently, and then said the longest sentence since she was born. "If you can move, leave, don't die here, bad luck."
Shadow. ββ¦β¦β
