"I'm afraid of this, I'm afraid of that, what else can I do?"

Gu Qinghuan lowered his eyes, "What's more, the people in black have all been led away by my father and brother, even if one or two of them are left behind and find me, they can't compete with those Hou Mansion guards who are secretly protecting me." ”

"That's right." Yan Zhao's words changed, "However, in this way, your Gu family is completely involved in the battle for imperial power." ”

Gu Jingxing's idea of making a living for the victims is good, but it is a pity that the mastermind behind this corruption is the second prince, and if he wants to intervene in this matter, he has to stand on the opposite side of the second prince.

In this way, even if the Gu family doesn't want to stand in line, they have to estimate the fate of offending the second prince and find a backer, so as not to become a victim.

The only choice is the eldest prince.

"The Gu family has avoided the struggle for imperial power for hundreds of years in exchange for stability, which seems to be smart, but in fact, luck has also played a big role."

Gu Qinghuan said lightly: "Now, my luck is a little worse, since I can't avoid it, I can only face it." ”

"You can think about it, I don't know what your father and brother mean?" Yan Zhao looked at Gu Qinghuan.

"Are you throwing an olive branch to the Gu family for the eldest prince?" Gu Qinghuan understood that Yan Zhao asked this not because of his personal position.

"Yes and no."

Yan Zhao said: "With your status as a Gu family, if the eldest prince wants to recruit, he will definitely come to the door in person, so as not to appear slack, I ask you now, it is also a temptation." ”

"You're being sincere." Gu Qinghuan was a little uncomfortable with such Yan Zhao, Yan Zhao's fox-like personality in her previous life had long been imprinted on her heart.

If anyone told her to be straightforward, she would not believe it.

"It's useless to talk to you about those bends." Yan Zhao knew that Gu Qinghuan was very smart.

This is the reason why Yan Zhao confessed to himself?

Gu Qinghuan was skeptical, and she changed her words: "The handwriting of this account book is my uncle Gu Yiwen's, I don't know if it can help you." ”

"Naturally, there is."

Yan Zhao nodded, as if thinking about something, he stood up, "Follow me." ”

As he spoke, he walked to the corner of the study.

Yan Zhao's study had many bookshelves, Gu Qinghuan didn't pay attention, Yan Zhao turned into a certain row of bookshelves, there was no one, she had to speed up her pace to keep up.

When she caught up with Yan Zhao, she didn't know where Yan Zhao took out a wooden box.

"What is this?" Gu Qinghuan stepped forward.

Yan Zhao opened the wooden box, and there were several pieces of paper inside, like the remains of incineration, with a few words written on them.

After Gu Qinghuan carefully identified it, he narrowed his eyes: "This is ...... What's on the ledger? ”

It's just that it's not Gu Yiwen's handwriting.

"Chen Yuqiu's words." Yan Zhao closed the wooden box and motioned for Gu Qinghuan to return to his original position and sit, "Although he is careful in doing things, there are also places that he can't take into account...... The new official was busy making false accounts on his first day in office, and it was not surprising that there was a little negligence. ”

Gu Qinghuan didn't stop, she turned around and walked back, she didn't want to spy on the secrets of Yan Zhao's study, the ghost knew what Yan Zhao would do to her.

Don't look at this man who is so easy to talk now, in his past and present lives, Gu Qinghuan has never seen a man who can change his face faster than Yan Zhao.

One moment he was talking and laughing with you with a wine glass, and the next moment he was able to hold a poisoned dagger against your face.

Not only do you want to die, but you also want to be unrecognizable.

As a woman, Gu Qinghuan felt that Yan was the most vicious in the world.

Fortunately, in this life, she did not become an enemy of Yanzhao, but saved a lot of trouble.

It's a pity that she didn't have less intersection with Yan Zhao as she planned at the beginning.

Unconsciously, the entanglement between the two seems to be getting deeper and deeper.

Obviously, he just provided a little clue, and the dirty work of investigating the case was lost to Yan Zhao, why did it become like this in the end?

Waiting for Gu Qinghuan to sit back on the bamboo chair, Yan Zhao also walked out from behind the heavy bookshelves.

"Relieved?" The words were slight.

Gu Qinghuan's previous questioning was worried about the lack of evidence for exposing the corruption case this time.

"That's all there is to it."

Gu Qinghuan sighed, "This little thing is still not enough for Chen Yuqiu and others to convict, but ...... It's better than nothing, the saint is not a fool, so many things are in front of him, even if Chen Chengxiang has countless means to help Chen Yuqiu get rid of his crimes, Concubine Shu can also keep the second prince, the saint will let the two go because of the relationship between these people, but the seeds of doubt have been planted, presumably in the future, the second prince will not be as in the limelight as now. ”

That's the best outcome.

"In another hour, I will follow my father into the palace to face the saint."

"When dawn comes, you'll probably be able to hear the good news." ”

Gu Qinghuan was a little surprised: "So fast? ”

"The things that need to be prepared have already been prepared."

Yan Zhao said: "Without your account book, maybe we have to wait, but now...... No need to wait any longer. ”

After a pause, Yan Zhao said again: "Miss Gu, this time, whether it is the Yasukuni Mansion or me, we owe the Gu family and a favor to you, I was still saying before, I don't like to owe favors, but I didn't expect it to be more and more......"

Hearing this, Gu Qinghuan suddenly thought of the scene when she met Yan Jin for the first time, and couldn't help but smile in a low voice: "Promise ...... with your body"

"What?" Yan Zhao didn't seem to hear clearly.

"It's nothing, I mean it's time for you to get ready to go to your father for ventilation...... Take the ledger. ”

Gu Qinghuan hurriedly changed the topic, oh no, she seemed to be too relaxed and said something that shouldn't be said.

If you really want to be listened to by Yan Zhao, who knows what this man will think of himself?

Yan Zhao glanced at her more, got up and said, "Miss Gu wait here for a while, your father and brother should have been saved, and maybe they will come to look for you." ”

"Got it." Gu Qinghuan nodded.

Yan Zhao left directly.

The matter was urgent, and he didn't have time to be polite with Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan waited in Yan Zhao's study for a while, and Gu Jingxing came over.

As soon as the brother and sister met, they didn't speak immediately, but just looked at each other silently.

This subconscious move was very tacit, and the two didn't seem to notice anything unusual.

After looking at each other for a while, the two breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.

It's okay.

"When you came to the Yasukuni Mansion, were there people in black chasing you?" Gu Jingxing asked.

With this cold tone, people who don't know him well think that he is talking the opposite.

Gu Qinghuan saw through the worry in Gu Jingxing's eyes at a glance.

"Nope." Gu Qinghuan shook his head.

Yong'an Hou and Xiao Hou went out together, who would have thought that these two important people in the Hou Mansion did not have an account book in their hands, and the account book was quietly taken away by a powerless Miss Hou Mansion?

Gu Qinghuan also seized this loophole and boldly proposed this plan.

At first, Gu Yixian and Gu Jingxing objected, but under her insistence and rebuttal, the two reluctantly agreed, but allocated a large number of guards from the Hou Mansion to her.

Otherwise, when Gu Yixian and Gu Jingxing were attacked, the Gu Mansion guards would not be outnumbered and let the man in black get into the carriage.

If it weren't for Gu Yixian's superb skills, I'm afraid he would really be won by the other party!
