Lady Wan Guan

Xiao Yan still followed Jiang Wanning to see Gu Zhouting.

Xiao Yan has very complicated feelings towards Gu Zhouting. You can say he hates it, but he really hates it. When he first chose a reading companion, he didn't like Gu Zhouting's upright, serious, mature and dignified demeanor. When he learned that he could He is a poet, and the articles he wrote when he was seven years old can make all the Hanlin Academy scholars praise him. He is a genius praised by everyone, but he dislikes this person even more and is the first to exclude him.

However, it failed. Gu Zhouting was appointed by his father.

So much so that for several years, he lived in the shadow of Gu Zhouting. When he fell a little behind in his homework, the tutor opened his mouth and said... Your Highness, look at Gu Zhouting.

What's even more annoying is that Gu Zhouding, a bastard, fell in love with Ji Yunchen.

Ji Yunchen, that idiot, why?
  Really annoying.

Fortunately, Gu Zhouting's father died of illness when Gu Zhouting was twelve years old. Gu Zhouting had to go back to observe his mourning, and Ji Yunchen no longer came to study with him. Without these two annoying guys, his mood became happier.

Later, he refused his father's suggestion of Shangguan Nanzhi to him. However, Gu Zhouting and Ji Yunchen became the shadows of Shangguan Nanzhi. The three of them were inseparable, and the three of them helped Xiao Wang wholeheartedly and let Xiao Hope to gradually win the favor of his father.

In fact, he had thought about it, if he had not refused the proposed marriage, would they have worked so hard to help him?
  Speaking of gratitude, there are also people who would have thought that this person whom he disliked and kept at a distance from since childhood, and who later had no contact with him at all, would be injured and disfigured, hiding and giving up on himself, and everyone would actively or passively give up on him, or even forget him. At that time, this man did not forget him and wanted to find out the truth for him.

"Master Gu." When they came to the front hall, Jiang Wanning and Gu Zhou stopped to greet him.

Gu Zhouting had already received the message from Xiao Pan. To be honest, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. Could it be that Wan Ning was afraid that His Highness would know that they had a close relationship?

Gu Zhou nodded in response and bowed to Xiao Yan: "Wei Chen has met your highness."

Xiao Yan said: "Master Gu, please excuse me."

Looking at him secretly, after not seeing him for more than three years, Gu Zhouting's demeanor became more and more calm, and there was majesty in his calmness. No wonder he could firmly occupy the position of Minister of Dali Temple, making the courtiers respect and fear him.

"Well, you have your say, don't worry about me." Xiao Yanshi sat down and regarded himself as an outsider.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Your Highness, this humble minister is here to report to the Second Highness."

Xiao Yan was astonished: "Are you here for me?"

Gu Zhouting looked at him quietly.

Silence is the answer.

Jiang Wan Ning: Uh... If Gu Zhouting doesn't follow the routine, then she leaves?
  "Daughter of the people, please leave first."

"No need." They both said in unison.

There was an eerie silence in the living room.

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Dr. Jiang may be needed to help with this matter."

Xiao Yan was very interested: "Master Gu, please tell me."

Gu Zhou stopped and said, "Since His Highness has recovered from his injury and returned to the palace, he should participate in the government affairs as soon as possible."

Xiao Yan said: "My father is already considering this matter." Originally, he thought that as long as he came back, the balance in his father's heart would tilt towards him. Obviously, he thought it was easy.

His father was very happy when he came back and cried happily. But when his mother asked him to share his worries for his father, his father said that he had suffered for so many years before he came back and that he should have a good rest first.

He understood his father's concerns. The prince had been established, but the man who was supposed to be the prince came back. His father didn't know how to deal with him for a while.

"Your Highness, it is better to wait passively than to actively strive for it. There is an opportunity now."

"what chance?"

"Your Highness, please be informed that there was a fire at the Beidaying Armory the night before."

"I heard, isn't Ji Yunchen suspended from his post for investigation? Uncle An Ping is temporarily acting as the commander-in-chief of Beidaying." Xiao Yan does not want to see Uncle An Ping gain power. Uncle An Ping's gain is equal to Xiao Wang's gain, but this is what his father means. He can't control it anymore.

Suddenly, Xiao Yan said in an uncertain tone: "Do you want me to investigate the fire in the Beidaying Armory?"

"No, starting from Peking University Camp is too eye-catching. There is another case at the moment. The military supervisor has killed a supervisor. After investigation, the Criminal Department concluded that he fell into the water and drowned after drinking. But Doctor Jiang met this supervisor Jia The wife learned that Jia Jianzuo could not drink at all. During the review, the subordinates discovered doubts. Jia Jianzuo's death may involve some secrets of the weapons supervisor, and this secret is likely to be related to the fire in the Beidaying armory. "

Xiao Yan still doesn't quite understand: "Master Gu, can you explain it more clearly?"

"Your Highness, I went to the Ordnance Supervisor last night to check the accounts, and found that the amounts of ore entering the warehouse and the output of fine iron and steel were wrong. The Ordnance Supervisor can use the quality of the ore to make a point, but what if not? What if there is someone here? Did they forge the quantity of ore and the quantity of fine steel and fine iron produced? Where did the extra ore and fine iron go? Why did Jia Jianzuo die mysteriously? Why did the armory of Beida Camp catch fire before the martial arts exercise? Is there anyone? Destroying evidence and killing people to silence them?"

"Ore is armament. Daqi has always had strict control, but now there is a loophole. Who is controlling all this and what is their intention? Your Highness, this is a big case. Even Dali Temple may not be able to handle this big case. Today I wanted to report to the emperor when I entered the palace, but I never had the chance. I thought it would be most appropriate for Your Highness to take charge of this case. Firstly, only Your Highness’s identity can suppress the evil spirits behind the scenes. Secondly, once the case is found out, A great achievement."

Xiao Yan was moved, but remained silent for a long time. After a long time, he said: "Master Gu, aren't you on good terms with His Highness the Crown Prince? Why don't you find His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Gu Zhouting said seriously: "Your Highness, you must have forgotten that An Pingbo has just taken office."

Xiao Yan's heart trembled. yes! If Gu Zhouting's conclusion is true and the case of the Ordnance Inspector is related to the fire in the Beidaying Armory, then the person who benefited from this matter will be very suspicious, maybe it was the work of the prince. Even if it is not the prince's handwriting, it will be a devastating blow to the prince if it is related to the prince's people.

Moreover, with Gu Zhouting's ability, he would never have made a mistake unless he was [-]% sure.

"My allegiance is to the Emperor and to Da Qi. No matter who it is, if he commits a crime that is disloyal to the Emperor and detrimental to Da Qi, I will do my best to find out the truth and bring him to justice." Gu Zhou stopped shaking. vocal channel.

Xiao Yan took the case and stood up: "Okay, I have taken over this case. Without further ado, Mr. Gu, you and I will go into the palace to see my father."

He didn't want to wait any longer and had to get this job done immediately.

Gu Zhouting raised his hands and said, "Your Highness, please."

Before leaving, Gu Zhouting looked back at Jiang Wan Ning and winked at her.

Jiang Wan Ning:...

Did he come here just to get His Highness away from her?
  However, it is indeed wonderful to have the Second Highness take charge of this case.

More help, less pressure.
