"Spread this news throughout Shengjing, so that their actions will be faster."

Gu Mo said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"Yes, I'll do it right now."

Danqing understood, and left in a hurry after saluting.

"Your Highness, everything is ready, and the carriage is also ready."

In an instant, Danqing had returned to the door of the room and waited for Gu Mo.

The news that Gu Mo went to the fifth prince's mansion in a storm quickly spread to the prince's mansion.

The prince stood under the eaves, stretching out his hands to catch the rain from the eaves.

"His Royal Highness, the son of Dingguo Gong is really from the fifth prince's side! I thought he was a smart man, but I didn't expect that he still had blind eyes, and he followed that..."

"Don't be rude."

Although he sternly stopped the courtiers, the prince was secretly happy when he heard what the courtiers said, and was a little proud.

"Compared to His Royal Highness, the Fifth Prince is inferior in civil and martial arts, let alone strategy. The ministers are willing to swear allegiance to His Royal Highness to the death."

Several courtiers bowed to the prince to show their loyalty in the pavilion of the prince's mansion, filled with righteous indignation.

"Aiqing, please get up."

Thinking of Gu Mo, the prince felt a little worried.

"Your Highness, what should we do now?"

The courtier lowered his head and asked.

"Now that the father has just fallen ill, remember not to get confused. We are not the only enemy of the fifth younger brother. Don't startle the enemy. Find some reliable ones, find out about the movements of the fifth younger brother and the eldest son, and then make plans for the following things." .”

"Yes."

A courtier turned his head and glanced at the attendant at the side, who understood that he would leave.

-

"Report to His Majesty, the son of Ding Guogong outside the mansion is asking to see him."

The attendant bowed and handed the letter in his hand to the Fifth Prince.

"Dingguogong's son? Gu Mo?"

The fifth prince, who had just returned from visiting the emperor in the palace, naturally could have guessed a thing or two about Gu Mo's request to see him.

It's just that he had little contact with Gu Mo and was not very familiar with him, and he could always hear how the court spread Gu Mo's flamboyance and power, so he felt a little uneasy.

The fifth prince received the letter, his eyes lit up.The letter was written on Chengxintang's paper, and he felt that the matter was not simple. The Fifth Prince opened the letter, and there were only a few words in it, which were also intended to ask for a meeting, but the style of writing was arrogant.

The person who can write even a few words is extraordinary, he should be a person with backbone, and the paper he uses is rare and expensive, which shows that he is a person with knowledge and courage. The fifth prince raised his eyebrows, just thinking it was funny.

"Quickly invite the prince to come in and bring him to the study. There should be no one at the door of the study."

"Yes."

The fifth prince quickened his pace and walked to the study of his mansion to wait.

Gu Mo was dressed in white clothes with fluttering hem. Although his face was cold, it was like a fairy air of coldness, which made the fifth prince feel that the room was much colder.

"I have long heard that the son has an uneven appearance and a broad stature. From what I saw today, it seems that the rumors have been restrained a lot."

The fifth prince stood up to greet Gu Mo.

"Thank you, Your Highness."

Gu Mo bowed slightly.

"No need to be too polite, please sit down quickly."

The fifth prince asked Gu Mo to sit down.

"Gu Mo knows that His Highness is a man of temperament, and he doesn't want to beat around the bush. His Highness should have guessed what Gu Mo is talking about at this time."

Raising his eyes, Gu Mo stared at the fifth prince firmly, and sat down calmly.

"Are you so sure?"

Raising his eyebrows, the Fifth Prince narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Gu Mo, paying attention to all Gu Mo's reactions.

Gu Mo lowered his head slightly, and then made a low voice.

"Your Highness knows that I am the best choice now."

"Okay! I like people who get right to the point."

The fifth prince breathed a sigh of relief, as Gu Mo said, he really had no choice.

At present, the officials in the court are basically all won by the prince.As for the other officials, because he was not as good as the prince, the emperor also favored the prince more and gave the prince more power, so the officials secretly looked down on him, let alone defected to him.

If you don't do anything else, I'm afraid that all the forces will be more and more concentrated in the prince's hands, and the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to your situation.

"I've also heard about the matter of the son in the court. Since we want to cooperate, don't both parties have to get the best of both worlds? I am also willing to help the son."

After finishing speaking, the Fifth Prince looked at Gu Mo firmly.

Gu Mo stretched out his hand and shook hands with the fifth prince.

"Before coming, Gu Mo spread the news about his coming to His Highness's mansion. The person who wants to inquire about the news is probably already here."

The Fifth Prince smiled lightly.

"Since the prince has come to my residence, he is a guest of my residence. Don't worry about other things. Please follow me to the hall, play chess with me, and have a drink together?"

When Gu Mo was playing chess with the Fifth Prince, the people in the Prince's Mansion who were waiting for news were restless.

"Report-"

The prince was a little impatient.

"Say it!"

"Fifth Prince and Dingguo Gong Shizi played chess and drank in the mansion, and didn't talk about court power..."

"Did you really hear clearly? If you miss it, I'll kill your heads!"

A courtier stood up excitedly and patted the attendant on the head.

"What are you doing in such a hurry? Teach the servants of my house? How decent is it?"

"I dare not! Your Royal Highness, I made a mistake——"

The courtier suddenly cried out, knelt down and kowtowed again and again, and the attendants on the side could only lower their heads even lower.

After kicking the courtier, the prince asked the courtier to think of a solution quickly.

"I... I heard that the daughter of the Jiang family is very close to the son of Dingguo. I heard that the relationship is very close, but the two of them denied it before. But I think that this son of Dingguo does not know that he is cold-tempered. However, he has helped the Jiang family overtly and secretly many times in the court, there must be some clues to this matter. Why don't we also inquire about the Jiang family?"

"Then do it quickly!" The prince was impatient.

"Yes."

The courtier hurriedly stood up, stabilized his hat, straightened it, and turned around to signal the attendants to go to work quickly.

"I also went to the fifth brother's house to have a look. This fifth brother, who doesn't know how to be polite, even drank and had fun with Duke Dingguo's son after his father fell ill? As an elder brother, I should set an example and teach him well. OK."

The prince said as he walked, his eyebrows and eyes were almost twisted together.

In Jiang's kitchen, Jiang Yue is working on new pastries.

"Miss, be careful, don't burn this slender jade hand."

"Moon~"

Jiang Han found Jiang Yue, and Jiang Yue turned to look at Jiang Han.

"Brother, what's wrong?"

Seeing Jiang Han's worried face, Jiang Yue thought something happened, and said worriedly.

He took out the handkerchief and carefully wiped the stains on Jiang Yue's face.

"Why are you so serious? There is a cook at home, and a cook in the restaurant, and the dignified Miss Jiang made her look like a little cat."

Pursing her lips and smiling, Jiang Yue acted like a baby to Jiang Han.

"Brother~ I'm the boss's wife now, I have to take care of everything myself."

"You come out with me to drink tea and rest first, brother has something to ask you."
