Soon, the letter reached Gu Nanshan's hands.

A thin piece of paper, he held it in his hand, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

Is it fear?

No!

It's shocking.

It's an indescribable excitement.

It was as if he saw 300,000 taels of gold, beckoning to him.

The world is so big, he dares to say such a thing as asking for ransom from the royal family, only Xie Yi dares to do it! Looking at him now, it's a little more pleasing to the eye. If it weren't for Concubine Rou's mother and daughter, Zhizhi would not have entered the palace, if it weren't for His Majesty's insistence on letting Zhizhi go to the Taiji Palace, how could she suffer this catastrophe and ruin her reputation.

Shouldn't they be asked for a little bit of compensation?

"I don't know what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means?" He asked with tears in his eyes.

The guard said truthfully: "Your Highness said that the ransom matter will be handed over to the Gu family to settle it." ”

Gu Nanshan's voice suddenly rose high, "His Royal Highness the Prince, is this a matter of branches?" The assassin demanded 300,000 taels of gold, otherwise he would kill Zhizhi, and our Gu family wanted to raise this ransom, but even if we sold everyone in our Gu family, we couldn't make up so much money. ”

"Your Highness, you want Zhizhi to die!" He stood up with a snort, holding the letter in his hand, and asked sharply, "How can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince be so ruthless?" Zhizhi entered the palace to pray for Princess Zhaohua, in order to protect His Majesty, she fell into the hands of those assassins, and now her life and death are unknown, His Royal Highness is not thinking about collecting ransom money to save people, but he pushed all the things to our Gu family, I and my father are for the country and the people, loyal to Your Majesty, never dare to have a trace of slackness, is it that in the end it will end up like this? ”

Hearing his words, Gu Wenhe was so angry that he almost stood up, pointed at the gate of the palace and scolded, scolding the shameless father and son, a bloody dog.

His Majesty is a lot old and wants his daughter to enter the palace as a concubine.

Will there be a shortage of 300,000 taels of gold in the treasury? The dog prince doesn't even pretend to look, he doesn't care about it, are they still human?!

"If it weren't for Concubine Rou calling my sister into the palace, how could my sister be kidnapped by the assassins, without ransom, she would have died, but my poor father is seriously ill, and he is still waiting to see his daughter, today I will spill blood at the palace gate, so that our family is reunited." Gu Nanshan looked generous to death, his eyes were full of grief, he looked up to the sky and laughed, and hit the stone lion at the gate of the palace.

There were still words in his mouth, "Zhizhi, wait for me, brother will accompany you." ”

How tragic his words and deeds were.

"Don't, sir!" But the guards at the gate of the palace were frightened, if they really called Lord Xiao Gu and died at the gate of the palace, then they didn't have to live, and a group of people hurriedly rushed up to stop him.

Gu Wenhe, "......"

That kid shouldn't really seek death!

It's just pretending, there are so many people here, the prince will never dare to ignore the branches, the 300,000 taels of gold, whether he wants it or not, he has to take it!

Gu Nanshan is not stupid, he really hit and died, how can he help Zhizhi count the silver?

He was stopped by several guards.

"You let me go, let me go with my sister......" he yelled as he struggled, and pressed lightly on his chest while everyone was unprepared.

The next second.

"Poof...... he spurted out a mouthful of blood, then rolled his eyes and fell backwards.

"My lord, my lord......" A few of the guards who stopped him were so frightened that their souls were not possessed, and no one shouted loudly: "Go and tell His Royal Highness the Prince." ”

"What a wreck! Miss Gu was kidnapped by the assassins in the palace, how could they ignore Miss Gu? ”

"Lord Gu and Little Lord Gu are so pitiful."

"Ask His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to be kind and save Miss Gu!" In the crowd, an inconspicuous middle-aged man took the lead in kneeling on the ground.

After him, the onlookers knelt down and chanted with him.

Knowing that Gu Nanshan didn't really bump into it, Gu Wenhe put his mind at ease, listening to everyone's voices, he couldn't stop sneering in his heart, the prince hadn't ascended the throne yet! He would never dare to lose the hearts of the people.

The Imperial Study.

When the prince learned about this, he was furious, "What a Gu Nanshan, he dared to persecute Gu, didn't he want to die?" Then let him die. ”

"Your Highness, by all means! If he is really told to die at the gate of the palace, the people's hearts will be lost, and it will be difficult to block the mouths of the people in the world at that time. Several courtiers knelt down to admonish.

The prince asked sharply, "Then you say, what should I do?" Do you let them lead the way? ”

One of them arched his hand and said: "Weichen is brave, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should immediately order the ransom to be raised, maybe he can use this as bait to wipe out those assassins, and then come to appease the Gu family, it is best to give them some rewards, such as Gu Nanzhi can be named the county lord to show His Highness's benevolence." ”

After hearing this, the prince snorted coldly, "It's okay to let Gu raise the ransom, and let Gu Nanzhi be the county lord, why?" ”

"I hope His Highness will think twice, once the matter at the gate of the palace is publicized, even if His Highness nods, the effect will be greatly reduced."

"Let Lone think about it." The prince held his forehead with one hand, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt.

……

Gu Wenhe came lying down, and it makes sense to lie down and go back.

But Gu Nanshan came on foot and went back lying down.

The crown prince ordered that the Praetorian Guards in the palace personally sent the two of them back.

Along the way, everyone who passed by stopped to watch.

This matter is getting bigger and bigger, and Xie Wei deliberately asked people to secretly publicize it, and soon everyone will know about it.

The prince could only grit his teeth and swallow it.

Gu Nanshan and Gu Wenhe were sent home on the front foot, and the eunuch who announced the decree on the back foot came.

Gu Nanzhi became the county lord of Huayang.

As soon as the eunuch who made the decree left, the father and son opened their eyes.

Gu Nanshan fell into contemplation, the prince would never seal Zhizhi as the county lord for no reason, this must be inseparable from Xie Yi, from entering the palace last night to assassinate Zhizhi, taking the opportunity to kidnap Zhizhi, and then asking for ransom today, forcing the prince to bow his head and sealing Zhizhi as the county lord, I am afraid that he would have calculated all this.

This man is so scheming that it makes people shudder.

He and his father together, I'm afraid they are not his opponents!

"Nanshan, when the ransom is paid, will Zhizhi be able to come back? Those people won't go back on their word! This is the only thing Gu Wenhe is worried about.

Gu Nanshan shook his head, "No." ”

He couldn't help but sigh a little, fortunately they didn't make enemies of Xie Yi!

……

Gu Nanzhi fell asleep unconsciously, and when she opened her eyes, the sun outside was already high.

"Miss, you're awake." When she opened her eyes, she couldn't help but be surprised by the familiar face, "Wanxi, why are you here?" ”

Wanxi smiled and said, "I'm here to serve Miss." ”

Gu Nanzhi was slightly stunned, there were no maidservants in Xie Wei's mansion, I was afraid that he asked someone to bring Wanxi over.

Wanxi helped her sit up from the couch, she saw at a glance that the shoes were embroidered with luxurious peony flowers, the light pink shoes were embroidered with luxurious peony flowers, the stamens were embroidered with gold thread, flashing dazzling in the sun, the most exaggerated is the toe of the east pearl, full of lychee size, round and flawless, the luster is visible, flashing a flower in front of her eyes.
