Chapter 233 I don’t know what Xie Lang wants
Gu Nanzhi was still a little confused at first, but after hearing Bai Lu's words, she suddenly woke up and grabbed her hand, "Tell me, what are you talking about about me and Mr. Chief Assistant?"

Her heart jumped into her throat for a moment.

Bai Lu didn't dare to hide it from her, "There are rumors outside that the young lady has an affair with the first assistant. It is said that the young lady has an affair with the first assistant when she was still the wife of the prince. It is precisely because of this that the first assistant has an affair." Only then will your Majesty report to your Majesty to amend the law, and..."

The more Gu Nanzhi listened, the more frightened she became. It was already hot, and her whole body was wet with sweat in just a moment. She quickly squeezed Bai Lu's hand, "What else is there? You can tell me!"

Bai Lu then continued: "That day when the lady went to Ding Guogong for a banquet, someone saw the chief minister and the lady hugging each other."

boom!
Gu Nanzhi's mind suddenly went blank.

After divorcing her husband, she made up her mind not to marry again. She was not afraid of these rumors, but Xie Ni was actually involved. He was an official in the court and the chief minister of the cabinet. How important was his reputation to him?

Her palms were filled with cold sweat.

Xie Ni just returned to Kyoto today, and there were a lot of rumors in the afternoon.

I'm afraid these rumors are directed at him.

Gu Nazhi thought about it and was extremely frightened.

"Miss, the eldest young master hurried back after hearing these rumors. Now he and the master are waiting for the young lady in the front hall." After Bai Lu finished speaking, Gu Nanzhi hurriedly got off the bed.

"It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. I don't know who is spouting shit and actually saying these things that are just out of their head. I have always regarded Lord Chief Assistant as my sworn friend, and Lord Zhi Zhi has grown a few years. In my heart, Lord Zhi Zhi belongs to him. Elder, and I am an upright official, he will never have such thoughts about Zhizhi. If I know who slandered them like this, I will definitely tear his mouth open." Gu Wenhe shook his sleeves angrily and sat on the chair. Go up, almost smashing the tea cup in his hand.

Gu Nanshan looked up at him and sighed in his heart. There was no need for his father to be so angry. Why didn't he think about it, what should he do if it was true?
This matter is really not an injustice.

It's just that Xie Ni has to pierce this layer of window paper himself.

His only worry was that Xie Ni was an official in the court and had a high and powerful position, so he would inevitably make enemies. He didn't know how many people wanted to pull him down. At first glance, these rumors seemed like nonsense, but he was afraid that people with serious intentions would really do it. He believed it and used Zhizhi to deal with Xie Ni.

"Zhizhi, don't be afraid. Father believes that you and Mr. Chief Assistant are innocent. They are all spread by outsiders. Don't think too much. Your brother and I will put an end to these rumors as soon as possible." As soon as Gu Nanzhi arrived. , Gu Wenhe couldn't wait to speak.

Gu Nanzhi had calmed down, "Father, it's about the reputation of the Chief Assistant. It's not convenient for us to make the decision without authorization. It's not too late to make a decision after discussing it with the Chief Assistant."

When Gu Wenhe thought that this was the case, he turned to look at Gu Nanshan, "Go there immediately and see what regulations the chief minister has."

Gu Nanshan nodded, turned around and left.

Gu Wenhe added, "Remember to stay out of sight at this time."

Thank you.

When he heard that Gu Nanshan was coming, Xie Ni didn't need to think about it. He already knew why he was here. He immediately asked someone to invite Gu Nanshan into the study.

Gu Nanshan got straight to the point, "You must have heard about the rumors. How are you going to deal with them?"

Xie Ni slowly raised his eyes, "What to do?"

Gu Nanshan looked at him in surprise, "Are you prepared to ignore the rumors outside?"

Xie Ni chuckled softly: "If Lord Gu doesn't know the inside story, how will you feel when you hear these rumors?"

Gu Nanshan thought for a while. If he didn't know what he was thinking about Zhizhi, after hearing these rumors, he would probably think, "The person who spread the rumors is probably crazy. Who is Mr. Xie? But the chief minister of the dynasty is all the women in Kyoto." The man in his dream is even more so a holy and inviolable flower of the high mountains. How could he fall in love with a divorced woman?"

Xie Ni gave him an appreciative look, "So it would be wise for me not to do anything about this matter. If I intervene rashly, I will only confirm this matter, and that will put her in danger." middle."

He lowered his eyes slightly. In fact, he had selfish motives in this matter. Sooner or later, he would marry the girl he loved home, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to let them get used to it first!
Looking at him again, Gu Nanshan had obvious admiration in his eyes.

He stood up, looked at Xie Ni with sincerity, and called out his name, "Xie Siwei, I'm waiting for the day when you call me brother-in-law openly and honestly. You must be steady in your affairs."

"Zhizhi made Hui ink for you with her own hands and engraved your name on it. Even though she didn't say anything, I know she has you in her heart. Yesterday, your whereabouts were leaked, and she was so worried that she couldn't sleep or eat well. Please, please I have been insisting on going to the inn to see you for a long time."

"She is the apple of my eye and my father's. As a brother, the only thing I ask for is that you don't hurt her!"

After saying that, Gu Nanshan turned around and left.

"I promise you that I will never hurt her. As long as I am here, no one can hurt her at all." Xie Ni said it word for word, very solemnly.

Gu Nanshan paused for a moment, then looked back at him, "I believe you."

This was the first time either of them had spoken openly about it.

The results are clearly good.

Gu Nanshan had always been critical of Xie Ni before, but he just didn't trust him. After all, his identity was here, so I didn't believe that he would really take Gu Nanzhi into his heart.

Now he believes it...

After Gu Nanshan returned, he relayed Xie Ni's words to Gu Wenhe and Gu Nanzhi. After hearing this, the two felt that his words were very reasonable and immediately decided not to do anything.

Rumors quickly spread throughout Kyoto.

East Palace.

The prince asked someone to find out what Xie Ni and His Majesty said in the imperial study. Unexpectedly, the servants in the imperial study were very tight-lipped and found nothing.

He is getting angry.

Several staff members lowered their heads, not even daring to fart.There was a moment of silence.

One of the staff suddenly remembered the rumors outside and bravely said: "Have your Highness heard about those rumors today? What if they are true! Isn't Mr. Thank you, sir, for wooing me over!"

His voice just fell.

Boom!

A tea cup was smashed in front of him, and the prince sneered: "Are you out of your mind? You actually believe those false rumors. Who is Xie Ni? What kind of woman does he want? Even Gu's Those imperial girls are all at your fingertips, is he crazy? He would fall in love with a married woman."

As he spoke, he added, "If he really likes that Gu Nanzhi, he will twist off his head and dig out his eyes. It's useless to keep them anyway!"

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I made a mistake." The staff member was so frightened that he immediately fell to the ground.

Xie Ni has already asked people to investigate the source of those rumors.

Just no results yet.

Turned into night.

Huangjue Temple.

The Buddhist Holy Land is exceptionally clean, and everyone has gone to bed.

"Ah... don't come here, don't come here, I beg you, princess, to find those who killed you with your life."

"I didn't do it myself, so why are you pestering me?"

"Ah ah... there is a ghost, there is a ghost, come here!" Princess Zhaohua finally fell asleep, and suddenly she screamed and opened her eyes. She had lost her hair, and her head was bald, and her eyes were full of terror. Looking at the empty Zen room, I was scared out of my mind.

Incense was burning in the house.

Ever since she came to Huangjue Temple, she had been like this. She couldn't sleep for several days and nights, and would wake up whenever she fell asleep, shouting that there was a ghost in the house.

The two maids who were keeping watch at night were used to it, and they were very perfunctory when trying to comfort her, "Princess, all the maids are here. There is nothing in the house. You have been tired for a day, so you should go to bed quickly!"

The two of them only raised their eyelids to look at her, then closed their eyes again.

Princess Zhaohua has been struggling for several days, and even a strong-willed person cannot bear it.

If it had been in the past, Princess Zhaohua would have been tired and would have settled down.

Unexpectedly, today, Princess Zhaohua went crazy and rushed off the couch. Her eyes were so bloodshot that they were about to burst. She pointed at the window and screamed in an extremely sad voice, "Ghost! She is right there. Get her out quickly." …”

The words are not finished yet.

There was only a bang.

Her eyes were round and she fell straight to the ground.

The two maids opened their eyes and were shocked, "Princess, princess..."

After crawling to her side, one of the maids reached out to feel her breath, fell to the ground with a white face, and said incoherently, "Dead, the princess is dead..."

"Ah..." The other maidservant was so frightened that she collapsed on the ground, "How could a good princess die suddenly?"

The next day.

The news of Princess Zhaohua's death soon spread to Kyoto.

After Gu Nanzhi heard this, she was not surprised at all. She smiled lightly and counted the time, which was what happened in the past two days.

Both her brother and her father were trying to find out who spread the rumors. Naturally, she couldn't remain indifferent, but Yinfeng hadn't sent back the news yet.

Thinking that there were still a few pieces of Hui ink that had not been engraved with names, she turned around and went to the fragrance room after breakfast.

Xie Ni found some clues here, but he couldn't be sure yet.

The rumors are getting more and more intense. During the court meeting this morning, not to mention the civil and military officials, even His Majesty looked at him with a look that was hard to explain. There was curiosity, disbelief, and inquiry.

But no one dared to say anything in front of him.

The carriage went to the downtown area.

A woman suddenly stepped forward and stopped Xie Ni's carriage, "May I ask if the person in the carriage is the Chief Assistant?"

Huo Cen lifted the curtain and glanced at her, then whispered something in Xie Ni's ear.

"Yes!" Xie Ni responded lightly. He didn't even raise his eyes, let alone lift the car curtain to glance at the woman blocking the road.

People were coming and going on the street, and it was a busy time. When I saw someone dared to block the Chief Minister's car, and the person blocking the road was a young, beautiful, and luxuriously dressed woman, the passers-by stopped to watch.

In full view of everyone, Cui Yao pursed her lips, and then she smiled, slowly raised her head, ignoring everyone's gaze, and said in a very beautiful voice, "My little girl Cui Yao, I have admired Xie Lang for a long time, and I am the only one in my life. I would like to marry Xie Lang as his wife and live happily ever after with you. My little girl has a heart full of fists. I wonder if Xie Lang is willing to do so?"
