Chapter 106 Cousin Prince

Everyone dispersed.

Gu Junqing had no choice but to leave with him.

Zhen Qingyi took another road, so she forked at the alley entrance and turned to another place. Now the only people traveling with her were Gu Jiyan and Prince Ding Qi Qi who was about to return to Prince Ding's Mansion.

Gu Junqing didn't know what to say to these two people he wasn't very familiar with, so the atmosphere was awkward and silent at first. But the three of them didn't think much of it, after all, they didn't care much.

It was just a show of indifference. Gu Jiyan, who was standing on the left side of Prince Ding, was used to making a fuss. He couldn't stand this situation for a while, so he couldn't help but speak up:

“General Gu, why do you think the emperor placed Prince An under house arrest instead of locking him up in jail directly?” Gu Junqing, who was suddenly named, was stunned by the words. Then he thought to himself, Gu Jiyan really dares to say anything and is so outspoken. What would Prince Ding, who was standing next to him, think?

Since Gu Jiyan asked, she had to answer a few words anyway. After all, "Excuse me for your frankness on this question, Your Highness, as a minister, how can we presumptuously speculate on the emperor's intentions?"

Ok.

Gu Jiyan was completely shut up by Gu Junqing's words and didn't know what to say.

At this time, Prince Ding spoke up. Looking at Gu Junqing's slightly cold expression, he smiled slightly:

"General Gu is right. The emperor has his reasons for doing this. Maybe he has other plans. But I am curious. From what I know, General Gu loves swords and sabers. Do you know about a new thing that has become popular in the capital recently? It may not be as convenient as swords and sabers, but if used well, it can be a deadly weapon."

Hearing this, Gu Junqing raised her eyebrows slightly. She thought that Prince Ding would test her with the next words, but unexpectedly, Prince Ding directly led the topic to another place. This reversal caught her off guard, but also made her very excited.

Really? How could she not know about such a good thing? This is really not right.

So she couldn't help but ask, "Is what Prince Ding said true? I don't even know when this good thing appeared in the capital. Can His Majesty tell me something so that I can know clearly?"

Prince Ding just smiled, but he didn't seem to be planning to speak again. Gu Jiyan, who was standing by, couldn't help himself. Seeing Prince Ding's expression, he was moved. Then, looking at Gu Junqing's slightly disappointed face, he hurriedly said:

"I know, I know, Gu Junqing, I'm very familiar with that place, I can show you the way. I'm afraid I'm not free today, so I can take you there tomorrow..."

It was not until he received Gu Junqing's slightly strange look at him that Gu Jiyan realized how impatient he had been in speaking. Such eagerness must have made Gu Junqing suspicious.

Thinking of this, Gu Jiyan had a funny look on his face as if he wanted to cry but had no tears, but he couldn't stop smiling bitterly in his heart.

"Okay, tomorrow."

Gu Jiyan, who was feeling lost, suddenly heard these words. He raised his head abruptly, as if he did not expect Gu Junqing to agree. He thought she would refuse, but Gu Jiyan had already prepared what to say next.

By the time he reacted, the two of them had ignored him and walked a few steps away, looking like they were having a very pleasant conversation.

He quickly followed and continued what he was saying.

Half an hour later, the three separated.

When Gu Jiyan returned to the mansion, as expected, he saw Marquis Anyuan, his father, sitting on a high chair in the hall.

"What have you been doing?"

This was obviously said with anger suppressed in his voice. Gu Jikou paused after hearing this and looked at An Yuanhou, saying indifferently:

"Of course he went to entertain cats and dogs and watch the show. Father, don't you know your son?"

The next second after these words fell, the teacup that should have been placed on the table was thrown to the ground by the furious An Yuanhou with one sleeve, with the sound of celadon fragments falling to the ground. Gu Jiyan looked at the fragments on the ground, his face paused, and then he looked at An Yuanhou with a heartless smile on his face, as if nothing had happened:

"Aiya, father, why are you so angry? Let's talk it out and calm down. Is it because the concubine in the mansion didn't serve you well? Otherwise, my son found a very beautiful girl in Yihonglou, and father thinks..."

"Shut up you rebellious son, get out of here!"

"...Okay, my son, I'll take my leave now."

Gu Jiyan paused, seeing An Yuanhou so angry, if he continued to test him, he might get beaten. Gu Jiyan came quickly and ran quickly, and immediately returned to his yard to prepare for tomorrow's work.

An Yuanhou stood there motionless for a long time before he looked in the direction of Gu Jiyan's yard and sighed deeply.

I don't know what he is sighing about.

General's Mansion.

After dinner, Gu Junqing stayed in the backyard to prepare for going to the training camp tomorrow after strolling around with Gu Jiyan to test the new recruits and to bring Zhen Qingyi and Li Dahui to the camp to determine what official positions they should take.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Gu Junqing couldn't help but think of what happened today. Although it was a pity that Prince An was only placed under house arrest in Prince An's Mansion by the Emperor, when he recalled that in his previous life he was framed by Prince An and was also placed under house arrest, and was even ridiculed and mocked by many people, it was really the karma of past and present lives, and the cycle of reincarnation was unpleasant.

Since it is Prince An who is under house arrest now, she can take revenge on them for how they treated her in her previous life. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

After making up his mind, Gu Junqing extinguished the candle.

With my eyes open at night, I couldn't help but think about Gu Jiyan.

Although Gu Jiyan is her cousin, Gu Yuli is the head of Anyuan Hou Mansion. Gu Yuli was one of the aides under Prince An in his previous life. After her rebirth, she also vaguely saw the close secret communication between Anyuan Hou Mansion and Prince An.

She and Prince An are sworn enemies, so the relationship between the two mansions is bound to become distant, leading to the current situation where the Anyuan Marquis's Mansion and the General's Mansion have no ties to each other.

He should have remained stiff, but Gu Jiyan's behavior today really made Gu Junqing feel a little confused. He didn't understand that as the eldest son of Anyuan Houfu and the next inheritor of the title, he not only did not think of a way to help Prince An out of trouble, but instead said things that blackened Prince An's image from time to time.

Isn't Gu Jiyan's action intended to frame Marquis Anyuan and make their mansion an enemy of Prince An?

I don’t know what will happen when Gu Ji Yan returns to the Marquis’ Mansion. I’m sure Marquis An Yuan will be so angry that he will call Gu Ji Yan a bastard. After all, her cousin is a well-known bastard in the capital.

However, despite this, Gu Ji Yan has always been the crown prince of Marquis Anyuan, no matter how many illegitimate sons of Marquis Anyuan are eyeing the crown prince position and competing for his favor.

Gu Jiyan's position as the crown prince has never been taken away by other illegitimate sons.

Gu Junqing blinked when he thought of this.
