Chapter 176 That's it

Feng Xiaohan had a strange mood when he said this. Gu Junqing couldn't help but think, could it be that he didn't like the capital, but the people around him liked it and had different opinions, so he was unhappy?

Of course, the above thoughts are just Gu Junqing's casual thoughts and should not be taken seriously.

Gu Junqing, who really couldn't think of anything, watched Feng Xiaohan pack up her things. Without even raising his head, he turned around and gave a few words of reminder, then stood up and left. The people behind him hurriedly followed.

When she turned around and was about to look at the next citizen, Gu Jiyan, who was supposed to be drinking tea in the teahouse, came over, stood beside her and said to her:

"Isn't this person your friend?" Gu Junqing didn't understand what Gu Jiyan meant by asking this question suddenly. She remembered that she had told him yesterday that they had only met a few times and were not very familiar with each other, so why did he ask him today whether they were friends?

She looked at him and asked, "Didn't I tell you yesterday? Why are you asking today?"

"I'm just free to chat with you."

Gu Jiyan's words were so slippery that Gu Junqing didn't get anything from his words.

Upon hearing this, Gu Junqing knew that this guy was determined not to tell her anything. Gu Junqing snorted coldly and had no intention of dwelling on the matter any further. After saying that they had only met a few times and chatted a few times and were not very familiar with each other, she turned around and continued to busy herself with her own things.

At noon, there were relatively few people entering and leaving the city. Seeing this, Gu Junqing also sat in the teahouse with Gu Jiyan.

On the table were wine and food that Gu Jiyan had someone buy from Tianzi Restaurant. Gu Junqing saw that Gu Jiyan was eating happily and looking at him with a smug look on his face, as if saying to her, I'm good to you and I'm treating you to a meal.

One should be grateful for the favor one has received. Gu Junqing felt calm inside but also wanted to laugh.

After spending the past few days together, Gu Junqing felt that the dissolute Prince Anyuan, who was rumored to be full of evil, was not that bad after all. At most, he was a little childish.

Perhaps this is the result of being bribed by his meal.

Gu Junqing sighed in his heart.

After lunch, Gu Jiyan didn't continue asking about Feng Xiaohan. He simply packed up and was about to leave the teahouse.

Gu Junqing looked at Gu Jiyan who was about to leave with some surprise, without waiting for her to ask anything.

Gu Jiyan smiled and said jokingly, "Hey, what's wrong? Looking at your expression, are you reluctant to let me go?" Gu Junqing's expression froze, and he said in a light tone, "Let's go, hurry up."

Gu Jiyan raised his eyebrows, but after just standing there and chatting with her for a few words, he turned around and left the teahouse.

I don't know what he is going to do, but it has nothing to do with her.

Gu Junqing withdrew his gaze, turned around and focused his attention on the people.

Where could Gu Jiyan go? Naturally, he would go to chat with Ji Rang.

If he hadn't met Ji Rang yesterday, he didn't know how long he would have wandered in that dark passage.

When they arrived at Ji's house, the guards guarding the door didn't say much after seeing Gu Jiyan. They just opened the door and let the person in.

Gu Jiyan no longer had the lazy and slightly rogue smile that he had in front of Gu Junqing. Instead, he looked somewhat inexplicably cold. Looking closely, he was somewhat similar to the expressionless Gu Junqing. When Gu Jiyan entered the mansion, someone informed Ji Rang, so when Gu Jiyan entered the front yard, he saw Ji Rang standing there waiting for him.

He raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled: "Prime Minister Ji, now you should tell me what happened to the bodies scattered all over the secret passage last night, and why did the prison guards appear there as well?"

Yesterday, when he accidentally broke into a dark room, he happened to see the prison warden dealing with the corpse on the ground. By the way, he also saw the emperor's personal eunuch Li Yuan there.

When Li Yuan saw him, his face was full of vigilance and he even had murderous intentions. Fortunately, Ji Rang appeared from somewhere and rescued him from such a murderous atmosphere.

Then he pulled him and ran quickly to the door of the brothel. Gu Jiyan, who was dazed the whole time last night, followed Ji Rang out of the brothel.

Before he could even say a word, he saw Ji Rang running back. Before he ran, he said to him, "You go first, it's best not to follow me in. If you have any questions, come to Ji's house to find me tomorrow." Thinking of the situation just now and Ji Rang's words, Gu Jiyan could only return to Anyuan Marquis's house with a dazed look on his face.

But halfway through the journey, he remembered that Gu Junqing was still inside. But seeing Ji Rang running back, he probably went to look for Gu Junqing.

Getting back to the topic, Gu Jiyan chose a seat and sat down in a familiar manner. Looking at Ji Rang who had been sitting on the other side looking at him, he picked up the tea that had been prepared on the table, poured himself a cup, and then looked at Ji Rang again, waiting for his answer.

"If Prince Gu knew too much, it would be disadvantageous to you. However, judging from your attitude, you will not give up until you get a piece of news. Therefore, I can only give you a hint. If I say too much, the emperor will blame me..."

The information contained in this sentence is nothing more than that this matter was ordered by the emperor to come to the brothel, and the matter was kept completely secret, but he just happened to run into it.

Gu Jiyan nodded and waited for Ji Rang's next words. So Ji Rang continued, "This matter is related to Prince An."

Gu Jiyan nodded, waiting for Ji Rang's next words, and then he saw Ji Rang shaking his head, and the next words were "that's all."

Gu Jiyan tutted in dissatisfaction: "That's it?"

Ji Rang said innocently: "What else do you want to know? It would be a relief for you if I tell you the rest."

Gu Jiyan was speechless. This dead fox was not as interesting as his cousin. Why did he leave Gu Junqing and come here to say these things?

Thinking of Gu Junqing, Gu Jiyan snorted lightly and didn't bother about these trivial matters. After all, what Ji Rang had just said was enough for him to investigate further. As long as there were clues, it would be fine.

So he stood up and was about to say goodbye when Ji Rang, who was sitting behind him, stood up and called him.

Gu Jiyan turned around, with a questioning look in his eyes, as if asking what Ji Rang wanted him to do. "There is no need to discuss this matter with Gu Junqing."

"Why?"

"Because she will pester you to find out the truth and go to the brothel alone or sneak into Prince An's mansion."

After listening to Ji Rang's words, Gu Jiyan paused, and after remembering these words in his heart, his attention was immediately distracted to the other side, so he said with a somewhat annoying tone:

"You sound like you know Gu Junqing very well. How come you are so sure that Gu Junqing is an acquaintance or close friend of yours?"

Ji Rang was choked by Gu Jiyan's words and didn't know how to respond.
