Taking the initiative to remarry! The crazy prince is obsessed with me
Chapter 71 She changed her name to Gu Zhizhi
Ran Luoguo's mouth was full of oil as he ate one bite after another. He grimaced with satisfaction and had finished most of it in the blink of an eye.
Hongmei, Lvliu and the group of people in the kitchen were all stunned. After a while, Hongmei finally responded: "Quick, make a pot of chrysanthemum tea for the old man."
"Good tea!" Ran Luoguo looked at Hongmei with praise to show his gratitude. Mutton is warm in nature, and chrysanthemum clears away heat. This girl also understands this.
The maid in the kitchen immediately turned around to make tea.
I originally wanted to get a teacup, but then I thought about it and decided to get a big bowl, make some tea, pour a full bowl and bring it forward.
Ran Luoguo picked up the bowl and took a big sip, feeling completely satisfied.
When Shen Xiyue brought Shuang Ye to the big kitchen, she saw Ran Luoguo eating and drinking happily, and felt a little dazed.
According to the timeline of her previous life, she should have met Ran Luoguo for the first time in another year.
At that time, he saw through it at a glance. The Wenyuan Marquis Mansion was like a huge net, and she was the bait that had nowhere to escape. Not only did she fall into the fire pit, but she also led the Shen family to a dead end.
He also once said to Lvliu because she was good at making drunken crabs, "Run away. It was wrong from the beginning. It's not too late to cut off your tail and survive now."
At that time, Shen Xiyue was still traumatized by losing her virginity on her wedding night, and she couldn't see clearly the treacherous nature beneath Qi Xun's gentle mask. She didn't take Ran Luoguo's words to heart.
Not long after, Prince Yao, who was already the crown prince at that time, brought Ran Luoguo from Marquis Wenyuan's Mansion to the Eastern Palace.
During those years, Shen Xiyue often heard about Ran Luoguo's abilities from Qi Xun: he said that this man was very vicious, not only was he well aware of the intricate relationships in the court, but he was also well versed in how to manipulate people's hearts.
It was then that she suddenly remembered what Ran Luoguo said, and gradually, she realized that Qi Xun's tenderness seemed a little wrong...
For example, he never stayed overnight in her courtyard, and when he served her food, he always forgot what she liked to eat. She even often disappeared from his sight for several days, saying that he was busy...
Before she could think about it carefully, Emperor You'an passed away, King Yao ascended the throne...The Shen family, she and the Shen family could no longer be saved!
In this life, she was able to get Ran Luoguo back before King Yao, and her heart was at ease.
In the kitchen courtyard, Ran Luoguo had finished a leg of lamb. He smacked his lips and pointed to the lamb ribs: "The meat here is tender. Give me a few more pieces! And some spicy chives!"
The maid in the kitchen went to get another bowl of chives and brought it over: "Old man, please try it! These chives were bought from Liubiju!"
Hongmei cut piece by piece and Ran Luoguo ate bite by bite, not even bothering to talk.
Shen Xiyue did not go forward to disturb him, but turned around and instructed Shuangye beside her: "Tell Hongmei and Lvliu to wait on him until he is full and satisfied, and then go to the Prince's Mansion to invite His Highness to come over."
"Yes."

At the same time, in the Prince’s Mansion.
The original Prince's Mansion was very simple. After Murong Xuan came back from Jiangnan, he ordered that it be equipped with all the ceremonial guards that the Eastern Palace should have.
There was a guard every ten steps or so in the courtyard, with spears erected at their sides, standing straight like nails. Outside the courtyard, two teams of guards patrolled back and forth alternately, surrounding the Prince's Mansion like an iron barrel, ensuring that not even a fly could fly in.
In the study, Murong Xuan, wearing only a blue silk undershirt, sat behind the desk, looking at the papers covering the table.
Each of these papers was densely written and had a network of relationships drawn on it. On the top sheet, one could vaguely see that it was the information of the Minister of Works, Gu Maocai, and his family.
Mao Pingzheng bowed his hands and reported in a low voice: "...Your Highness, the families of officials above the sixth rank in the capital have been checked. Only Minister Gu's family found a concubine a few days ago, but they said it was embarrassing, so they didn't make it public."
"Gu Zhizhi? The Minister of Works, Gu family?" Murong Xuan glanced at the name written on the paper in front of him, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
Gu Zhilan changed her name to a new one because she was really afraid that others wouldn't be able to tell the difference.
"Yes! She is now registered under the name of a deceased concubine of Minister Gu, and is considered a concubine's daughter."
"Yeah." The sarcasm on Murong Xuan's face became even stronger. Gu Zhilan used to hide in the dark and never showed her face. Now she has escaped death and changed her identity and name, which makes it easier for people to find her.
How can she escape this time?
"What else have you found out?" Murong Xuan asked again.
"Gu's indenture, identity, and entry into the Gu Mansion, these trivial matters were all handled secretly by the Fourth Prince for the First Prince.
However, when I came back, I saw the Fourth Prince coming out of the palace.
She looked very bad, with blood all over her clothes and a stiff expression, as if she had suffered a setback in the palace...it must be Concubine Qi who got angry again."
Murong Xuan sighed, "The fourth brother goes through fire and water for the eldest brother all day long, and still doesn't get any good results. Although my two royal brothers are from the same mother, in Concubine Qi's heart, one is in heaven and the other is in hell." However, a light suddenly appeared in his heart.
Concubine Qi’s partiality and the fourth prince’s unwillingness, perhaps this is also an opportunity.
As for how to make use of this opportunity, we need to consider it in the long run.
Just as he was thinking about it, a voice came from outside: "Your Highness, Miss Shuangye is here. She said that the princess's mansion has invited a guest. Please go over to the mansion to take a look."
Murong Xuan raised his eyes and said, "Guest? What guest? Ask Shuang Ye to come in and talk."
After saying that, he stood up and walked out from behind the table with his hands open. A servant beside him hurried forward and put on a silver-red gown for him, while another servant held a black cloak in his hand, waiting to put it on him.
Shuang Ye came in, bowed, and then began to speak with great excitement:
"Your Highness, the princess asked Lvliu to invite that guest back. It's not clear what he does, but he looks to be in his thirties, with a goatee, hunched back and bent waist. I only know his name is Ran Hui, and everyone calls him Ran Luoguo...
As soon as he entered the house, he went straight to the kitchen and started eating non-stop! I was really worried that he would eat himself to death! But after he finished eating, he could still eat more! "
"Not only did the princess not show any disgust, she also asked the kitchen to serve him well and make sure he was well fed and well watered. While she was at it, she quickly asked the servant to come over and invite you in."
A hint of surprise flashed across Murong Xuan's face, and he narrowed his eyes slightly: "Ran Hui?"
In his mind, he suddenly pieced together a figure that was both strange and familiar. It was a person he had never seen before, but he had heard about him from Queen Qin since he was a child.
Murong Xuan reached out and grabbed the top piece of paper on the table, his expression full of surprise: "Xiyue actually invited him here!"
