Chapter 165: Logical Trap, Trap Honest People
Obviously, if Shi Fei is really as Gu Panxi said, he has the determination to stab and kidnap Gu Panxi, then this matter is about Yi Guifei. But Gao Xinning didn't mention it when she told Concubine Yi about it, and she didn't seem to have such plans at all.
Could it be that Gao Xinning really made up her mind to sit in the same boat with Gu Panxi?
But after thinking about it, if Gao Xinning listened to Gu Panxi after saying this, it would not be beneficial to her to turn her head and report to Concubine Yi. From the moment Shi Feiqing made his own decision to give Gao Xinning a letter of resignation, Gao Xinning should have known that Concubine Yi had very little influence on Shi Feiqing...... She had been eye-to-eye with Concubine Yi before, in order to marry into the Zhao Palace, but now that this purpose has been achieved, Concubine Yi is really of no use value to Gao Xinning.
In fact, Gao Xinning was already the one who was kicked out of the palace once. Returning to the palace this time, who should be in a group and who should be given up, Gao Xinning should know in his heart. Otherwise, how could she get back what she deserved from Gu Panxi's hands?
Gu Panxi glanced at Gao Xinning, and felt that he should pay more attention to this fierce rival who took the initiative to get back.
I just went to Gaofu to pick up Gao Xinning in the morning, but I didn't expect that it would be a few hours before I turned my head and went back again, Gu Panxi was funny, and Gao Xinning was also a little embarrassed, I just felt that it was so heartbroken in the morning, which was a bit exaggerated.
Gao Zhiyuan was also stunned, just because Gao Xinning was taken back to Zhao Wangfu, Mrs. Gao was crying and making trouble, he comforted him for a long time, and finally calmed Mrs. Gao's emotions down, but when he turned his head, he found that his daughter and Gu Panxi had arrived at the door again. This mood ...... It's hard to put into words.
"Princess...... The side concubine came, and the lower officials really missed the distance. I don't know what happened to the two of you visiting? β
Gao Zhiyuan changed his mouth for the first time and called Gao Xinning a side concubine, and he always felt a little awkward.
Gu Panxi didn't know what Gao Xinning's intention was for letting her come to see Gao Zhiyuan, so she had no choice but to let Gao Xinning be the spokesperson.
Gao Xinning said with a smile: "Dad, now that I am in my own home, I only face my daughter and the princess's sister, why bother calling my daughter a side concubine or even saluting so much?" β
Gao Zhiyuan smiled heartily, "It's better to be respectful than to obey your orders." The princess won't blame the lower officials for being rude, right? β
Gu Panxi was helpless, and said in his heart that you father and daughter sang and harmonized, what kind of big dragon and phoenix are you playing in front of me, an outsider, he shook his head with a smile, and even said "no".
After a round of politeness and two cups of tea, Gao Xinning got to the point and asked: "Dad, Ma Rushu, the left attendant of the current Criminal Department, is just my father's former protΓ©gΓ©, my daughter is not mistaken?" β
Gao Zhiyuan nodded, picked up a piece of walnut crisp, and replied casually: "That's right." Why did you ask about this? As he spoke, he put the walnut crisp in his mouth.
"The opportunity for Ma Shilang to be promoted from Shilang to Zuo Shilang was precisely because he investigated the case of Xian Guiren Wu Gu and won the emperor's commendation. My daughter is not mistaken, right? β
Gao Zhiyuan's hand shaking the walnut crisp, spit out half of the walnut crisp that he bit in his mouth, his face was solemn, and he asked, "Xinning, why did you mention this?" The question was asked by Gao Xinning, but between the words, Gao Zhiyuan was looking at Gu Panxi.
This is not a scandal, Gu Panxi is not ashamed to admit it, and said generously: "Gao Shangshu, in fact, it was the concubine who asked Xinning for help to investigate this matter." As for the motive, it is inconvenient for Concubine Ben to say, and I hope that Gao Shangshu can understand. β
Gao Zhiyuan looked at Gao Xinning, and saw that Gao Xinning also shook his head, obviously unable to breathe through his mouth as a father, and sighed.
The daughter who married out was really spilled with water.
"Does the princess want the lower officials to introduce you to Rushu?"
"Exactly."
Gao Zhiyuan took another sip of tea, "It's just an introduction, it's not a big problem." It's just the princess, don't blame the lower officials for being too talkative. If he thinks it is inappropriate to help the princess investigate this matter, I am afraid that even if there is a recommendation from the lower officials, the princess will be closed. β
So it sounds, this Ma Rushu is a good official who is upright? It's just my appetite.
Gu Panxi smiled heartily: "Thank you Gao Shangshu for reminding me, please ask Gao Shangshu to repair a book and recommend it to this concubine." After that, Concubine Ben will watch it herself. β
Gao Zhiyuan bowed slightly, glanced at Gu Panxi, and his five fingers tapped rhythmically on the table, and coughed dryly, "Since the lower official has already spoken more, he doesn't care about another word." Princess, do you know what you want to investigate, sensitive and abnormal, and if you are not careful, you may implicate Zhao Wangfu? β
Gu Panxi smiled bitterly, "Of course Concubine Ben knows. β
The problem is, if you don't check, you will definitely implicate Zhao Wangfu. This kind of thing, Gu Panxi can't say it to Gao Zhiyuanming.
Hearing Gu Panxi's concise attitude, Gao Zhiyuan didn't want to say anything more, he stood up, put his hands behind his back, and turned his head to look out the window.
"Princess, you are a capable person, a prince, and a virtuous lord. These two points are very clear to the lower officials. But the lower officials also hope that you will know that nearly 100 lives in the Gao Mansion are tied to the lower officials. Any decision made by a subordinate official must be made with great caution. Princess, do you understand? β
When Gu Panxi heard it for the first time, he couldn't stop Gao Zhiyuan saying what he meant by these inexplicable words, but after thinking about it, he understood the mystery.
Gao Zhiyuan is saying that Shi Feiqing is very good, and Gu Panxi is also very good, but it is a little too optimistic to get his support just because of this. Only when Shi Feiqing and Gu Panxi show their persuasive strength can he surrender.
This old fox, did you see through my intention to take Gao Xinning back to the palace with all the difficulty?
Gu Panxi sighed deeply, after all, she was an old fox who had been rolling in officialdom for many years, and she seemed to be a little too underestimated in the past.
came out of Gaofu, and after Gao Zhiyuan pointed out the direction, Gu Panxi and Gao Xinning went straight to the house of Ma Rushu, the left attendant of the Criminal Department.
Halfway through, Gao Xinning said coldly: "My father's words, did you let your desire to use me to win him over in vain?" β
Gu Panxi leaned against the window frame and looked at the changing scenery outside, without looking back, and said with a smile: "Sister Xinning, if this concubine doesn't take you back to the palace, Gao Shangshu is afraid that she won't even say that." You're right? There is zero on one side, and the chance is just in case. This concubine will always choose just in case. β
Gao Xinning's lips moved, and she said solemnly after a long time: "Gu Panxi, I have changed my opinion of you." I used to think that you were completely ruthless to the prince, but it seems that I was completely wrong. β
"Hmph." Gu Panxi laughed out loud, "Then you have to keep your eyes open and take a good look, what Concubine Ben has made you look at is far more than just her affection for Shi Feiqing." β
