Chapter 43: Give a big gift!

Is there really one? Tao Yaoyao was shocked, she didn't expect that there would really be such a place.

"Didn't come back?" Tao Yaoyao still asked tentatively.

"Hmm. According to the secret records, people disappear for no reason every few decades, and there is no one alive or dead, and the imperial court has also sent people to secretly search for it, but they have no intention of finding it. Later, the matter was put on hold, and perhaps it was really just a coincidence that he disappeared. Gu Zhiqi shrugged his shoulders gently, there are not a few such anecdotes, most of them have no explanation, and the most important thing is now.

Gu Zhiqi didn't know what kind of impact his words had on Tao Yaoyao, Tao Yaoyao endured the ecstasy in his heart, and hurriedly asked, "Then where is this place?" ”

"I've been here." Gu Zhiqi settled his steps and looked at her.

"I've been here?" Tao Yaoyao was stunned, could it be that Tao Yao'er went before? That's not right! Isn't Tao Yao'er a young lady who doesn't leave the door and doesn't step out, how could she run to such a far place as Nansu?

"yes, at the foot of the dying." Gu Zhiqi smiled after speaking, this woman's curiosity is really tenacious.

"Panjiang City?!" Tao Yaoyao's eyes widened, and the eyes that looked at the city seemed to have changed their taste.

"Well, Xiao Xiao seems to be very concerned about this matter, don't you want to disappear too?" Gu Zhiqi said jokingly.

"No! I haven't had enough of this world! However, I'm very interested in these supernatural events, by the way, can you take out that secret record and lend it to me? Tao Yaoyao pretended not to care, and couldn't ask anymore, but it led to the suspicion of this little fox, so it was better to borrow it directly to see.

Gu Zhiqi shook his head.

"I said that you are a prince and can't even take a book?" Tao Yaoyao was a little angry, did this guy do it on purpose?

"It's not that I don't want to, as long as I want it in this world, I care about what I can give, and I'm willing to give it to you." Gu Zhiqi looked at her fixedly, with a hint of something in his eyes that he had never seen before.

"Ahem, then why are you - don't tell me you stole it!" Tao Yaoyao put the topic aside.

"Yes, it does." Gu Zhiqi said helplessly, "When I was young, I stole into my father's study with my imperial brother, and found this chronicle in a very secret compartment, and I thought it was wonderful so I looked through some of it at random, and then my father found out, and the imperial brother pushed it all on me, and I was fined half a month of confinement for this, so the impression will be so deepβ€”β€”"

When Gu Zhiqi said this, his voice became colder.

"So that's the case, don't be sad, I haven't had a father since I was a child!" Tao Yaoyao thought about comfort, who knew that he would miss his mouth for a while.

"Young?" Gu Zhiqi suddenly looked at her with puzzlement and suspicion.

"I mean, after my mother went, my father didn't care about me, and he was bullied by his eldest sister, which means that he didn't have a father. No, it's coming over tooβ€”" Tao Xiaoxiao quickly explained, and made a pitiful and uncomfortable appearance.

"yes, there is no father." Seeing her like this, Gu Zhiqi also felt the same and nodded.

"And then?" I don't want to miss this opportunity.

"I thought my father was biased or blamed me for being naughty, but later I learned that it was something that only the king of a country could see. And I, under the leadership of the imperial brother, opened the things that only belonged to the emperor-" Gu Zhiqi's words are meaningful, and Tao Yao's heart is like a mirror.

"Are you saying that Gu Zhixian deliberately took you there, and then let the emperor see it, mistakenly thinking that you have the intention of coveting the position?" After thinking of this layer, Tao Yaoyao felt that the struggle in this deep palace could not be described by love words at all, no matter how it was, it was also a brother!

Not long after this incident, the imperial brother was made the crown prince. Fu Zi told me that in those days, my father was thinking about us, and many ministers supported me, saying that I was literary and sharp. It's ridiculous that those people are now the prince's henchmen......" Gu Zhiqi didn't answer directly, looked at the sky in the distance, and said lightly.

"Those people must be the prince's people, they know that the emperor is inspecting you, so they let those people deliberately say this, so that the emperor thinks that you are buying people's hearts, plus the study peeked at the book, the emperor is even more convinced. Since ancient times, it has been a taboo to have high merit and shake the master, not to mention that if you win the hearts of the people, people will definitely not choose you! Tao Yaoyao nodded, this truth is very simple, if she still doesn't understand after watching so many dramas, she can go to jump into the river.

"They are very intelligent, and since then, I have known that if I had not shown weakness, I would never be their opponent. And it's been ten years......" Gu Zhiqi also sighed a little, he had never said these words in front of anyone, Tao Xiaoxiao was the first, maybe the last.

His eyes changed a little when he looked at Tao Yaoyao, but he didn't expect this woman to be able to see it so thoroughly, and this little grade only momentarily figured out the problem that he had been thinking about day and night to understand. It also made him even more determined!

"You mean, if you want to read this secret book, you have to be the emperor?" Tao Yaoyao was speechless for a while.

Isn't it, just gave her hope, and it doesn't take it back in half an hour? Make no mistake!

"Yes!" Gu Zhiqi looked at her, as if waiting for her to say some answer.

"Okay, add an article to the previous covenant, I'll help you kill the prince, and you give me that secret record, how about it?" Tao Yao thought about it, the only way to do it, anyway, they have already boarded the thief ship, and there are many conditions and hopes!

"I can't ask for such a decision." Gu Zhiqi nodded, smiled and bowed.

"Okay, okay, don't get cheap and sell well. Well? What's wrong? Tao Yaoyao was talking, but she saw Gu Zhiqi settling in front of a shop, she didn't pay attention for a while, and almost bumped into it.

"We're here." Gu Zhiqi said.

Tao Yaoyao raised her head, but saw that the shop had the words "Muqige" written on it, and she didn't understand it for a while.

"It'sβ€”" Tao Yaoyao asked, turning her head.

"Just go in and see." Tao Yaoyao walked into the shop and found that it was a wooden comb, wooden hairpin and other wood ornaments, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

"From now on, this is the end of the day." Gu Zhiqi's smile became even stronger.

"This one was given to me?" When Tao Xiaoxiao reacted, his eyes were full of sparkles.

So generous? So generous? Looking at the scale of the shop, it's not small, so it's sent?

"Don't you want an identity? The only daughter of the shopkeeper of Muqige, you were originally from Beigao, but you met a thief on the way, your father suffered misfortune, and you fell off the cliff and were delirious, fortunately I rescued you on the way. So far, there is no one to rely on, so I think I will take you into the palace. Gu Zhiqi said softly.

Tao Xiaoxiao nodded approvingly at first, this little Qi is too brainy, it is really prescient. This identity is very useful in Nansu, which focuses on business, and it is a jewelry business here, so no one will doubt that it can have something to do with Linglong Pavilion. Coupled with the fact that he has no father and no mother, he is not afraid of being questioned. Wait a minute...... What fell off a cliff...... Return to the palace...... What the heck?

Tao Yaoyao looked at Gu Zhiqi with doubt, but Gu Zhiqi just said: "Otherwise, how can I help me?" ”

Tao Yaoyao was even more speechless, what she said was right, and reason was also the reason, but why did she feel that the smell of conspiracy in this matter was very strong, and she jumped in step by herself. However, it doesn't matter, no matter what, it's air in the face of strength. Even if she enters the palace, is she afraid of being torn apart?

"Okay, but we have a word first, although I entered the palace, it has nothing to do with you." Peach is precautionary.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything I don't want to do." Gu Zhiqi nodded, gentle and delicate.

"Well, that's settled. This won't be taken back, will it? Tao Yaoyao looked around, the woodwork here is quite exquisite, and many boxes containing jewelry have to be said to be really a collection of the wisdom of the ancient working people.

"It's already dying." Gu Zhiqi smiled brightly, not minding the miser temperament of Tao Yaoyao.

"Okay, it's just a coincidence, Linglong Pavilion doesn't have a fixed jewelry box supply yet, if it's good, you can secretly contact a line, so it's more convenient for me." Tao Yao said generously.

"It's the decision to be in charge." Gu Zhiqi said, as if he had known that Tao Yaoyao would say and do so.

In fact, it is. He had already thought of this layer when he placed Tao Yaoyao's identity, and with his sharp feeling, this Linglong Pavilion's wooden decoration box could make some articles, so he deliberately accepted this shop to her, and with Tao Yaoyao's intelligence, even if he didn't need to remind him, he could think of this layer.

"Okay, then when will I enter the palace?" Tao Yaoyao asked with satisfaction.

"Today." Gu Zhiqi replied.

"Today? In such a hurry? Tao Yao was stunned, she hadn't indulged herself yet.

"My walk is monitored by many people, and it is easy to deal with it if I am in Beigao, but this is Nansu, and it is difficult to go to those spies left and right. If you stay here for too long, I'm afraid you will find out what is right and wrong. Gu Zhiqi explained seriously.

"Okay." Tao Xiaoxiao is also reasonable, and he has more sympathy for Gu Zhiqi in his heart.

This guy's life is really unsatisfactory, he has to be on guard everywhere, he has to be on guard all the time, and if he is not careful, he will be crushed.

"Is there any paper?" Tao Xiaoyao suddenly remembered something and shouted to a guy in front of her.

"Yes, Wood Girl." The guy looked like he was the one who took care of him, and hurriedly brought pen and ink to serve.

Tao Yaoyao wrote something on the paper, and then took out a thing in her arms, which was her token belonging to Linglong Pavilion, printed it lightly, and then handed it to him.

"Go back and bring this good girl to the Linglong family in Luoyang County, remember. Personally handed it over to me. Tao Yaoyao instructed again.

"Yes." The man first glanced at Gu Zhiqi, and after Gu Zhiqi nodded secretly, he obediently took the thing, and was just about to leave when he was stopped by Tao Yaoyao.

"Wait, what's that?" Tao Yaoyao pointed to the top of the cabinet, there is an extremely delicate wooden box, about the size of a palm, the three sides of the box are inlaid with a black jade, a white jade, and a red jade.

"Girl, that's a three-life box." The little guy replied respectfully with something in his hand.

"Three-life box?" Tao Xiaoyao asked, but his eyes did not wander.

"This box is made of thousand-year-old peach wood, which is rare in the world, but it has a strange fragrance when you smell it up close. The three sides are tattooed with cold ink jade, plain jade and Yan jade, representing three lives. This jade has always been placed here, although it is rare but because of the strange style, it is not favored by all the young ladies. "The little guy explained.

"Then let's go." Tao Yao glanced at the shop and the box nostalgically, and beckoned to it.
