The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister
Chapter 257 Fear, suspicion...a game within a game!
"Princess, I have a question!"
"Say!"
"If the Gu family's military order really falls into Gu Jingzhi's hands, we..."
Eleven hesitated for a moment, then said, "Everyone in this government office is registered. We can't get in. Even if we use other means, these people can't get into the backyard, and there's no way we can get any information!"
"Well!"
Jin Lehuang frowned and said, "That's a problem. If Gu Jingzhi really took the military order... He's a meticulous person, and he's been in Emperor Xia's presence for several months. Except for military reports, all memorials from all over the country must pass through his review first!"
"I'm afraid he has already guessed the abnormality in Ningzhou!"
"I'm afraid he's already had suspicions about the banditry in Ningzhou. If he had the military order, he would definitely not have made it public..."
Jin Lehuang said this calmly, but just as he finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed: "Not good..."
"Gu Jingzhi already knows that I'm a descendant of the Gu family. If the military order fell into his hands, Gu Huanzhi's identity would have been exposed long ago! This is probably a trap..."
"This……"
Eleven heard this and his face was also anxious: "Your Highness, if this is true, then wouldn't we have been plotted against long ago?"
"No, we can't stay here anymore, we have to leave immediately!"
Jin Lehuang stood up and wanted to leave, and Eleven followed closely behind him.
After taking only two steps, Jin Lehuang suddenly stopped and stood there with a frown on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.
Eleven was caught off guard and almost bumped into Jin Lehuang. He asked, "Your Highness, is there something wrong?"
"It's a bit weird indeed!"
Jin Lehuang stood there, feeling entangled and confused. "There are a few questions I can't figure out! If Gu Jingzhi knew that Gu Huanzhi was his cousin, why would he send him into exile?"
"Based on his current merits, we can ask Emperor Xia for mercy, or we can completely avoid reporting to the capital and simply operate privately to make Gu Huanzhi a completely new person! There's no need to go through the trouble of sending him to exile!"
Eleven nodded when he heard this. What Jin Lehuang said made sense.
Gu Jingzhi is now acting as the prefect of Ningzhou, so wouldn't this household registration issue be easy for him to handle? Moreover, Ningzhou is currently teeming with newcomers, and even the Internal Security Bureau wouldn't be able to find out about their household registration.
As for... sending Gu Huanzhi to the army to revive the Gu family... wouldn't it be easier for Gu Huanzhi to join the army as a civilian and get promoted with his abilities?
This is the first question that doesn’t make sense.
Eleven racked his brains and could only say, "Your Highness, is there a possibility that although Gu Jingzhi and Gu Huanzhi are brothers, they have no feelings for each other, and Gu Jingzhi doesn't want Gu Huanzhi's existence to taint him and affect his future?"
"What you said does make sense. It's not impossible! But Gu Jingzhi's influence in the court is weak. The fact that he sent his cousin, with whom he has little affection, into the army shows that he is in urgent need of help!"
"With his abilities, it's impossible for him to do it without anyone noticing! Secondly..."
Jin Lehuang said solemnly, "If this was a setup, how could Gu Jingzhi have such a big loophole, waiting for us to suspect him?"
Eleven's scalp tingled. He asked, "Then what do you think is the reason?"
"I don't know right now! It seems like we can only investigate secretly!"
"There are too many questions about this matter right now. If we rashly assume that there's something wrong with Gu Yunzhi and his sister, it will be more trouble than it's worth for us! Therefore, we can't easily conclude that they are in collusion with Gu Jingzhi at the moment! However..."
Jin Lehuang took a look at the room and said, "We can no longer keep this place. If you need anything else in the future, come directly to store number two to find me!"
"And you, Princess?"
Eleven said, "If all this is Gu Jingzhi's plan, then Princess, you are in danger!"
"Ah……"
Jin Lehuang said, "Gu Yunzhi taught me a lesson today: the more dangerous the place, the safer it is! If Gu Yunzhi can do it, why can't I do it?"
"Uh……"
Eleven hesitated and said, "Then Your Highness, are you planning to..."
"Of course I'm going to see my brother, the Crown Prince. It's all my fault that he's in this situation today!"
Jin Lehuang's eyes lit up, and she seemed to be looking forward to bullying the prince again.
Eleven heard this and started laughing too.
Jin Lehuang was going to see the prince, so he would naturally use unusual methods.
After Jin Lehuang and the other two left the house, the person hiding in the dark moved out slightly. In the dim light, Qu Feiyan's disguised face... was vaguely visible!
She stayed in the house for a while, then looked around carefully. Seeing that she had not left any traces, she left the house carefully.
……
Qu Feiyan hadn't come back yet, and Gu Yunzhi was a little worried. However, thinking that someone might be watching her outside, she didn't dare to go out easily for fear of being exposed, so she could only wait in the house.
It was almost dark when Qu Feiyan finally came back. When Gu Yunzhi saw her, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I thought something had happened to you!"
Qu Feiyan felt warm in her heart when she heard the anxious tone and expression.
Born in the Inner Guard House and having served Jin Lehuang for so many years, he had no chance to experience the feeling of being cared for.
This was the case with Gu Yunzhi in front of him, and also with Gu Jingzhi. Although Gu Jingzhi never said anything heartwarming, the skills he taught her were all for the purpose of keeping him safe.
The most important thing is that Gu Jingzhi's methods are clean and he will not let his subordinates get involved in those dirty things.
Qu Feiyan said softly, "Miss, I'm fine! I just discovered some clues before you left, so I came back a little late!"
"A clue? Is there something wrong?"
"Ok!"
Qu Feiyan said, "I've followed Jin Lehuang for many years, so I know her to some extent! I was watching outside the teahouse today, before the young lady came out..."
She recounted what happened outside the teahouse during the day. Gu Yunzhi listened and said, "Inside the teahouse, Jin Lehuang did leave first. So, according to you, she's on guard against us again?"
"Ok!"
Qu Feiyan said, "I was suspicious at the time, so I asked the others to follow. I then stood guard outside the teahouse. After the young lady left, I saw Jin Lehuang leave the teahouse!"
"Even the young lady was under surveillance all the way back!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunzhi's expression became extremely solemn, and then he said thankfully: "Fortunately, I didn't do anything unusual along the way, otherwise we would be..."
Although she had never seen Jin Lehuang's methods, she knew that she was a woman without any bottom line.
After informing her of what happened at the teahouse, Qu Feiyan added, "Miss, we had already discovered their whereabouts today, but they really fell for the young master's trick, so they have to find another place to stay!"
"However, I have also heard a new piece of information. I believe that you will be very interested. Who knows, it may also reveal other secrets of Jin Lehuang..."
