The Return of the Marquis's Daughter

"Your Highness, you really don't understand me. How could I act so impulsively? I just want to tell you that these things are between us women. How can a man like you get involved?

Besides, I am not a person who doesn't care about the seriousness of things. I know very well what should be done and what should not be done, and I will not cause unnecessary trouble to you, Your Highness."

"Princess, you are still so tough. Can you..." Prince Yong looked at the woman in front of him with a confident look.

He could only sigh deeply, "If you really want to vent your anger, I don't want to stop you, but you must remember this: no matter what you do, you must think twice before you act.

Don't put yourself in danger, and don't underestimate those people."

"I understand. I won't let myself get involved."

"So, do you have any ideas?"

"How can it be so fast? I will tell Your Highness after I have figured out what to do." Princess Yong said seriously.

When Prince Yong heard this, he knew that he could not get any more information out of him. He knew that as long as his princess did not want to say something, no matter how hard he tried, it would be in vain.

I can only say again: "If there is really no way to end it, don't be afraid, I will take care of everything!"

After hearing this, Princess Yong felt warm in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face at all.

As soon as Prince Yong left, Princess Yong ordered someone to call her son Gu Jingyi over and gave him a few words of instruction.

On the second day, Gu Jingyi and Gu Changan met directly at Yan Rujun's place.

Gu Jingyi handed Gu Changan a roll of paper and said in a cold voice, "This is what my people found. Prince An, please see if it is useful."

Gu Changan didn't hesitate at all. He took it and took a closer look. It turned out to be the roster in the imperial kitchen.

He scanned the list intently, and finally silently read out the name with the darkest ink among them, "Yuan Nini".

"Your Highness, do you know this person?" Gu Jingyi asked Gu Changan opposite him.

"That's not the case. It's just that my people have also traced her back to her. She's the only one who has had a lot of interactions with Gou Wa Zi."

"My people have already investigated this palace maid named Yuan Nini. Fortunately, she was on duty on the day Gou Wazi died, but she ran away half an incense stick's time.

This is also what the palace maids on the same duty as her said, "You can accomplish a lot in half an incense stick of time!"

Gu Changan looked at Gu Jingyi and said, "It's really great that your people can find out these things. Can you lend this person to me temporarily?"

After hearing this, Gu Jingyi was very direct, "If you don't mind, of course you can. He is just a small steward in the imperial kitchen. He has received favors from my father, so..."

When the palace was in turmoil, although Prince Yong had no intention of sitting on the high throne, it did not mean that he did not have a network of connections in the palace.

Gu Changan didn't ask any further questions, but just asked, "Can this person be trusted?"

"That's definitely believable." Gu Jingyi nodded. If the person wasn't trustworthy, how could he dare to bring it to Prince An!

Gu Chang'an tapped the tabletop lightly with his fingertips and said slowly, "If it weren't for the fact that Empress Wen and Gu Yunzhou are too familiar with the affairs of the imperial palace, and my staff can't be used easily, I wouldn't ask you to lend them anyone."

Empress Wen and the four concubines had frequent clashes in the palace. Over the years, they knew each other well, though not completely.

If Gu Changan used Concubine Shu's people to do something, it would give Empress Wen and Gu Yunzhou a handle.

After hearing this, Gu Jingyi smiled and said, "It is his blessing to be able to work for Prince An. The prince can just give him orders."

Although they are cousins, Gu Jingyi still knows his limits and will not break the rules in the name of family.

Unlike the careless princess Gu Minglan, after all, Gu Minglan is a woman who will marry out no matter what. No matter what, no one will say anything about these things.

Gu Changan also understood Gu Jingyi's concerns, so he changed the subject directly, "Have you ever thought about doing something out there?"

Gu Jingyi: ...

You are really bringing up things that are not related to the topic. Can't people just be quiet for a while?

"Your Majesty, are you pretending to be ignorant when you know the truth?

I know it's not that I don't want to do something, but with my status and position, I won't have the opportunity to do anything!"

Gu Jingyi sighed deeply.

His father's position was so sensitive, and as the crown prince of Prince Yong's mansion, he would rather be incompetent than be too outstanding than others.

"Others may really not know about these situations, but I naturally know your difficulties." Gu Changan nodded in understanding.

The situation in the court is changing rapidly now, and the forces of several princes are ready to move, especially the Wen family behind Gu Yunzhou.

However, Gu Changan also felt that the situation was complicated and difficult to control. After all, things were changing rapidly.

Even for a man as shrewd as he is, he still has to be cautious and careful in this deep palace full of intrigues and schemes.

As for Gu Jingyi, he should perhaps find a way to give him a chance to display his talents.

At that time, even if you cannot truly become a member of your own camp, it is better than being someone else's right-hand man.

After all, behind Gu Jingyi is the family of Prince Yong’s Mansion and Princess Yong!

How could Gu Changan just watch such a great helper go unchecked without asking?

No matter how good your "baby" is, it is safest to put it into your own bowl~

"If you continue to stay in the capital, you might end up annoying some people. It would be better to just leave the capital."

After hearing this, Gu Jingyi's eyes became stern, "Leaving the capital?"

Gu Changan nodded gently and continued, "Although Jing'an Hou narrowly won the battle against the Turks last time, the casualties among the army were also very heavy.

There are still many vacancies in the army right now. I have reserved a position for you as a lieutenant general. If you..."

When Gu Jingyi heard this, his face changed. The last time Lord Jing'an narrowly won a victory, there were many casualties in the army, and there were countless vacancies for middle-level officers in the barracks.

I wonder how many people in the capital are racking their brains to take advantage of the opportunity to squeeze people in!

Who would have thought that the person in front of him had obtained the official position from the hands of Marquis Jing'an so quietly? How long must his hands be to do this!

"But even if I want to go, I can't!" Gu Jingyi had an unwilling look on his face. As a tall and strong man, he could only stay in the capital city day after day, living a life of idleness and waiting to die. He was extremely unwilling in his heart.

He also wanted to be a man who could kill everyone, had the sentiment of defending the land and borders, and wanted to do something great on the battlefield.

Every day, seeing his father so depressed, his heart had long been...

"This is my business. Just tell me if you want to go, right?"

"If I can go, how could I not want to!" Gu Jingyi responded confidently.

Gu Changan stared at Gu Jingyi and continued, "If you are really ready to go, you must know that the frontier is not in the capital. On the battlefield, swords and knives are blind and casualties are normal. Are you afraid?

Although he had accomplished nothing in the capital and was just waiting to die, it was much more comfortable than being on the battlefield.

Once you go out, you will have to sleep in the open air. Marching and fighting don’t care whether you are a prince or not, so you must be prepared..."
