Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

South of the city.

Jiyue Tower.

In the private room on the third floor, Gu Qianhan was sitting and drinking tea.

Yuan Zheng sat across from him with a terrified look on his face, begging repeatedly, "Qianhan, please save me, I'm dying!"

Gu Qianhan ignored his words and continued drinking tea.

He specially chose the remote and quiet Jiyue Tower today to discuss important matters with others in secret. This person has a special identity and it is not appropriate for him to appear in the Duke's Mansion, so he made an appointment to meet in Jiyue Tower.

Unexpectedly, Yuan Zheng came before that person.

"Qianhan, I know I had some problems with you in the past. I apologize! I was wrong before! We are brothers after all. You can't just ignore me. You have to help me! Don't worry, I won't let you help me for nothing. I can pay you for it!"

When Gu Qianhan heard about silver, he finally had some patience.

Yuan Zheng is indeed rich, so it would be nice to get some money from him, which can help solve the urgent problem.

If you don't raise soldiers, you won't know how much money it costs. After you raise soldiers, you will find out how poor you are.

He asked calmly, "What happened to you? Why didn't you go to Xiao Qingyuan for help, but came to me for help instead?"

Compared to his calmness, Yuan Zheng seemed a bit anxious and furious: "It's no use for me to look for Qing Yuan. He's probably in trouble now, so how can he care about me?"

"Really? He's dying?"

"That's right! Don't you know that Qing Yuan and I are both written on Chu Yanluo's blood letter?"

Gu Qianhan knew about the blood letter, but not because of someone else, but because Shen Wantang's name was also on it.

He raised his eyebrows slightly: "Everyone on that blood letter will die? Yuan Zheng, when did you become such a coward?"

"It's not that I'm a coward! It's that several people written on that blood letter are already dead! Including the owner of Qingyun Tower! They were all frightened to death by Chu Yanluo's vengeful spirit!"

"You believe this too?"

"I don't want to believe it either, but I've checked with the Ministry of Justice. Those people died at the same time, and in exactly the same way! They had no external injuries, but their expressions were filled with pain and fear. They must have suffered tremendous torture before they died! The coroner couldn't figure out how they died, and the Ministry of Justice has no clue how to solve the case!"

Yuan Zheng's face turned pale. "Tell me, who else could have done this except a fierce ghost? Who else would have murdered the owner of Qingyun Tower and the nun of Jixin Temple? It's absolutely no one else except Chu Yanluo! But when I told the people in the Ministry of Justice that it was Chu Yanluo who transformed into a fierce ghost to seek revenge, they didn't believe me and said I was crazy!"

Gu Qianhan had heard about this from his subordinates early in the morning, but he didn't take it seriously because he knew that Chu Yanluo was definitely not dead. She caused these deaths for two reasons: one was revenge, and the other was to create a terrifying atmosphere and scare the people she really wanted to take revenge on.

For example, Yuan Zheng in front of him, and Xiao Qingyuan.

If Chu Yanluo really had the ability to kill several people in an instant, would Yuan Zheng still be sitting here peacefully? Would Xiao Qingyuan still be alive?

The only reason they were both alive was because Chu Yanluo couldn't reach into Wenbo Mansion and Ningwang Mansion.

Killing a few nuns from Jixin Temple and the owner of Qingyun Tower would be much easier. As long as she had helpers, it would not be difficult to kill them at the same time.

"Yuan Zheng, since you said it was a ghost that killed people, what's the point of coming to me? Can I exorcise ghosts?"

"I know you can't exorcise ghosts, but you have a strong evil spirit. Evil spirits dare not provoke you, even evil spirits dare not get close to you. As long as I am by your side, I feel much safer! What's more, you are a recognized genius and the smartest person in all of Dafeng. I know you must have a way to save my life!"

"I don't have any other options. Besides, since you've been targeted by the evil spirit, stay away from me as soon as possible to avoid getting me into trouble."

Yuan Zheng immediately pulled out a stack of banknotes from his pocket and slammed them on the table: "Qianhan, we are brothers, how could I possibly implicate you? I'm here to give you some money!"

Gu Qianhan said indifferently: "What a joke! I am the second son of the Duke's Mansion, and I need this little money from you?"

"Not enough? I still have more!"

Yuan Zheng said this, and pulled out a dozen banknotes from his sleeve pocket: "Good brother, please help me think of a solution. I don't want to be scared to death by a ghost! I haven't married yet, I haven't had a son yet, and I still have a lot of money that I haven't spent. I don't want to die like a coward!"

Gu Qianhan: "If you want to die, die far away. Otherwise, what if the evil spirit comes to take your life and finds the wrong person and takes my life? Then I will have the life to take the banknote but not the life to spend it!"

Yuan Zheng's eyes widened. "Qianhan, you're not... you're not afraid of ghosts, are you? I thought you were fearless."

"Stop spreading rumors about me. When did I ever become afraid of ghosts? I just don't want to get involved in your mess."

"Since you're not afraid of ghosts, then help me! If you think the money is too little, we can still discuss it! You know, I don't have anything else, but I have a lot of money!"

Gu Qianhan only talked to him for so long because he knew he had a lot of money. Otherwise, would he bother with him?

He glanced at Yuan Zheng and said calmly, "Then let's see your sincerity first. It's not impossible to help you survive."

Yuan Zheng was overjoyed: "Really, you are willing to help me?"

Gu Qianhan's eyes swept across the stack of banknotes.

Yuan Zheng immediately understood: "The money is easy to talk about, easy to talk about! If you lose money, you can earn it again, but if you lose your life, there is no place to earn it back!"

Of course, he also knew that these banknotes would not be able to impress Gu Qianhan. As Gu Qianhan himself said, he was the second son of the Duke's Mansion and would not take such a small amount of money seriously.

However, since he came to find Gu Qianhan, he was naturally prepared to bleed heavily.

Now that Gu Qianhan was willing to help him, he was already satisfied, and his face turned rosy.

But before he could take out the banknotes, the door of the private room was kicked open.

Yuan Zheng was startled and stood up suddenly: "Who?!"

A figure walked in.

Yuan Zheng took a closer look and said in a lost voice, "Qingyuan? Why is it you? Are you here to ask Qianhan to save your life too? Is there nothing Prince Ning's Mansion can do to protect you?"

Xiao Qingyuan glared at him angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why should I ask Gu Qianhan to save my life? Who does he think he is? Why should I beg him for help?"

"So you're here..."

"I'm here to ask him for someone!"

"You want someone? Who do you want?"

Xiao Qingyuan looked at Gu Qianhan and said through gritted teeth, "Gu Qianhan, you can make any conditions you want, I only want Shen Wantang!"

Gu Qianhan's eyes were icy. "Xiao Qingyuan, if you're hysterical again, go get treatment. Don't embarrass yourself by coming out. Atang is my legitimate wife. She has nothing to do with you. I don't want to hear what you said just now a second time."
