Chapter 179 entanglement
"What are you doing?"

Lu Youzhu continued to hand over the food box, "I told you to try our Qianjinlou's new pastries. As long as you accept it, I won't pester you in the future!"

Gu Huaian took a deep breath. He never knew why Lu Youzhu was so difficult to deal with.

If he had known what happened today, he wouldn't have saved her that day.

He said in a deep voice: "Miss Lu, please let go. The emperor summoned you urgently. I have to enter the palace now. I can't delay for a moment."

When Lu Youzhu heard the word "enter the palace", his little head turned and he thought of a good idea.

She said calmly: "You also know that I am familiar with the emperor. How about you take my pastry into the palace and give it to the emperor to taste? How about I accept this pastry as you?"

"This……"

Gu Huaian hesitated.

You must know that pastries or other items sent to the palace need to be inspected and confirmed to be harmless before they can be sent to the palace and brought to the emperor.

And she...

That's it.

If he could accept this, I think Lu Youzhu would stop pestering him.

As for this pastry, at most it was lost on the way, and she wouldn't know about it.

He stretched out his hand to take it. Just when he was about to touch the food box, Lu Youzhu suddenly stopped his hand.

Gu Huaian frowned in displeasure.

She had already guessed Gu Huai'an's little thoughts, so she said, "Mr. Gu, I made this pastry myself, but it must be delivered to the emperor. Is that okay?"

His fingers froze, but he still endured it.

"Naturally, it is a matter of loyalty to others when entrusted by others."

After receiving his words, Lu Youzhu handed the cake to Gu Huai'an with confidence.

After taking it, he thanked: "Miss Lao Lu."

"Master Gu, go slowly."

Lu Youzhu took two steps back politely and let him go first.

Gu Huaian lifted up her skirt and got into the carriage.

Within a moment, the carriage started rolling and headed towards the palace.

In the carriage, Gu Huaian was holding a food box and laying it aside leisurely.

The book boy said, "Sir, I see that Miss Lu has put her heart into it. Why don't you open it and take a look?"

Gu Huaian closed his eyes to rest his mind and ignored it.

He was born here not for the love between men and women, but for the sake of judgment for the world. If he indulges in it blindly, he will not be able to live up to the rules of faith in his heart.

Seeing that he was silent, the book boy cautiously closed his mouth.

The adults in his family are always different from others.

After almost two or three quarters of an hour, the carriage drove a certain distance, and Gu Huaian gradually opened his eyes.

He opened the window lattice and curtains, and there was a lot of traffic and bustle outside.

Without hesitation, he picked up the food box and prepared to throw it out. The book boy wanted to say something but held it back.

He was holding the food box in the air outside the window, and when he was about to let go, Lu Youzhu's words suddenly came to mind.

——"Master Gu, I made this pastry myself, but it must be delivered to the emperor, is that okay?"

hand made...

If he just lost it, wouldn't it be a waste of people's feelings?

Besides, she didn't mean any harm.

After thinking hard in his heart, he slowly took his hand back.

He held the food box in his hand and pondered for a while.

"Canal water, test for poison."

Qu Shui subconsciously said: "Oh...ah?"

Gu Huaian glanced at him coldly.

"Let you test for drugs."

"Yes! Your lord!"

Qu Shui took the food box respectfully, took out the first stack of pastries, and took out the silver needle from his sleeve pocket.

He thought for a while and asked: "Sir, did you use the one that stabbed the dead person, or the one that didn't?"

"...what do you say?"

Qu Shui quickly took back the silver needle he had pulled out and took out another brand new needle.

A subtle cold light flashed.

He gently dug into the plate of delicate pastries and inspected them one by one.

It took about a cup of tea to complete the test.

"Replying to your Majesty, they are all non-toxic and can be eaten." "Yes."

Qu Shui raised his eyes and said, "Sir, since you don't want to eat it, can I try it?"

Gu Huaian stared at him, speechless.

"I was dragged into the palace to deliver this to the emperor. Are you the emperor?"

Qu Shui's hands trembled as soon as he heard this.

"No, no, no! Sir, I was wrong!"

Gu Huaian stopped paying attention to him.

After entering the palace, I checked a few people and then checked the pastries brought in again to confirm that they were correct before letting them go.

Golden Palace.

Meng Qing was playing chess with Xiao Yan. It was obvious that he was giving in to her, but she still couldn't understand the game.

"No, no! I made the wrong step!"

As she said that, she immediately reached out and took back the white chess piece she had just played.

Xiao Yan: "..."

This is the first time I've seen this kind of operation...

Yun He stood aside and tugged on Meng Qing's sleeves, reminding him in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you will have no regrets..."

"What's the point of making a move without regrets? I am the emperor, and I will do whatever I say!"

Yunhe: "..."

"The Overlord bows hard."

Meng Qing pouted aggrievedly, "What? What's wrong with using some privileges?"

"No, you did a good job."

"???"

How does it sound weird.

She added: "If you can't use the emperor's privileges, then you can always use your wife's privileges, right?"

"Of course, Madam, please do as you please."

Meng Qing raised her chin proudly, like a peacock with its tail spread wide.

She placed the white chess piece down again, and Xiao Nanzi slowly came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Master Gu is here."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Xiao Nanzi then retreated to summon him.

Gu Huaian stepped into the inner hall amidst the noise of several people.

"The minister of Dali Temple, Gu Huai'an, comes to see the emperor, and the emperor bows to Jin'an."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Give a seat."

Yunhe put a chair next to Gu Huaian.

After sitting down, Meng Qing began to speak.

"Cousin, can you handle the recent cases in Dali Temple?"

Gu Huaian glanced at Xiao Yan and said, "Everything is fine."

The crisp sound of falling pieces slowly came from my ears, and every blow hit the center string.

She continued: "I was thinking that if you have nothing to do, the Ministry of Revenue should pay more attention to me. The Tutor will leave Beijing tomorrow, and there will be many matters in the Ministry of Revenue that require fair judgment, so I thought of you."

Gu Huaian lowered his head and thought quietly.

Dali Temple is very busy on weekdays. If it were to take over the household department again, I'm afraid it would be beyond its capabilities.

Of course, the people Meng Qing trusted the most in Beijing were the Gu family and Prince Yong and his son.

King Yong went to Tingzhou to hide his identity, and Meng Zhiyan was not a good settler, so this hard job fell into the hands of Gu Huaian.

While the two sides were speechless, the food box beside Qu's water caught Meng Qing's attention.

She looked at it and thought it looked familiar.

"Why did you bring food with you when you entered the palace?"

But no one knew that Gu Huaian would bring food to the palace. He didn't look like a greedy person.

Gu Huai'an cupped his hands and said, "I met Miss Lu from Qianjin Tower on the way. She asked Wei Chen to bring these pastries in and bring them to you, the Emperor."
