After the rebirth of Madam Hou Clan, her heart was sealed with cement

The prince smiled and said nothing, and his subordinates did not continue to ask questions, but retreated.

After his subordinates left, the prince played with the jade pendant in his hand and murmured, "Second brother, why do you think you are still so lustful that you are so stupid?"

After the prince muttered, he left the mansion.

At that time, Gu Huaijing also got the news.

Teng Xi looked at him nervously, "Master, you were the prince at first and now you are the second prince. Do you think Miss Tan offended the god of plague along the way?"

"Of course it's Song Ling'er. Apart from her, no one has targeted Tan Zhixu like this."

Gu Huaijing had long suspected that Song Linger was planning to attack Tan Zhixu, but he did not expect that she would choose to take advantage of the second prince.

Now that the royal family is unstable, the second prince covets the crown prince's position. The prince was originally very jealous of him, but now, with Song Linger mediating between the two, it seems that no external force is needed.

"Then what should we do?"

"Stay still and send someone to secretly protect Xu Xu."

"Don't worry, we have sent someone, and Miss Tan herself is already used to it. She spent a lot of money to hire someone to protect her."

Teng Xi thought of Tan Zhixu's current behavior and admired him even more.

Unexpectedly, the young girl Tan who seemed weak and indifferent in the past has now reached the time to act vigorously and resolutely.

Seeing the smile on Teng Xi's face, Gu Huaijing tapped the table with his big hand, "What, you didn't expect it?"

"Yes, Master, I used to think that Miss Tan is the daughter of the county magistrate and has a general knowledge. Now it seems that her courage is also very extraordinary. Now she is in charge of the entire shop in the Hou Mansion, and she does it so well. She has the freedom to deal with attacks from both internal and external groups, which is not something that anyone can do."

Teng Xi praised Tan Zhixu, which was also reasonable.

Gu Huaijing's smile deepened after listening to Teng Xi's words.

After a long time, Teng Xi finished speaking, and Gu Huaijing stood up, "It's time, it's time to go to the morning court."

"Yes."

The master and servant left Gu Mansion and went straight to the court.

The emperor has been unwell recently, and the early morning reports are also about major events. Small matters are left to the prince and other princes and ministers to discuss and resolve.

This morning meeting, which originally took an hour, ended in only half an hour. When the group left the meeting hall, Mr. Liu stopped Gu Huaijing.

"Master Gu, please stay."

Gu Huaijing looked back at Mr. Liu who called him, waved his sleeves and saluted, "Mr. Liu."

"Mr. Gu, if you are free, can I lend you a moment to speak."

"it is good."

Although he didn't have much contact with Mr. Liu, Gu Huaijing still respected Mr. Liu.

Today, Mr. Liu came to see him. Although he was unsure, he still followed him obediently.

Mr. Liu's house was not far from the palace, and it didn't take long for them to arrive.

The old house is old, and the furnishings in the yard are also very old.

Gu Huaijing looked at everything in the courtyard and thought of Mr. Liu's lifelong poverty. He sighed helplessly, "Mr. Liu, your yard should be repaired."

Mr. Liu was giving Gu Huai Jing a cup of tea. When he heard what he said, the old man couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head and said, "I don't have that much money. Besides, I only need a house to live in. I'm an old man." , it won’t be long before he has to be buried.”

Hearing Mr. Liu's frank words, Gu Huaijing felt very uncomfortable. He thought that most of the old ministers were loyal ministers, but their meager salary could only keep them full.

Seeing Gu Huaijing staring at the yard in a daze, Mr. Liu smiled instantly, "It's okay, Mr. Gu, I don't care about this." Hearing Mr. Liu's old voice, Gu Huaijing came back to his senses, "Old Liu, this junior still has some If you don’t mind your savings, I can repair your house for you.”

"No, I didn't come to you today to complain. I came to discuss important matters."

"Okay, you say."

Gu Huaijing said nothing else, took the tea from Mr. Liu, and began to listen carefully.

Mr. Liu was not vague and explained the purpose of his trip.

When Mr. Liu was talking, Gu Huaijing listened very seriously, and his expression changed accordingly. After he finished speaking, Gu Huaijing's face turned as black as carbon, "Is everything you said true?"

"If it hadn't been true, I wouldn't have asked you to come here today. How does Master Gu view this matter?"

"Mr. Liu, if this matter is really the fault of several princes, then it is not something you and I can handle." Gu Huaijing looked at the old man in front of him nervously.

When Gu Huaijing looked at him like this, Mr. Liu smiled kindly, "Master Gu, don't panic. In fact, the matter is very simple. You just need to verify it. Now that I have no real evidence, naturally I can't report it to the emperor directly. ."

There are not many people that Mr. Liu trusts in the court, and Gu Huaijing is one of them.

Being trusted by him, Gu Huaijing felt quite comfortable, but he didn't show it too obviously. He just tapped his fingers on the table very rhythmically.

He was thinking about the authenticity and actionability of what Mr. Liu said.

During this period, Mr. Liu did not disturb Gu Huaijing and allowed him to think about things.

It wasn't until Gu Huaijing figured it out that he looked at Mr. Liu.

Mr. Liu patted Gu Huaijing on the shoulder and said, "Master Gu, there are not many trustworthy people in the court. I can only leave this matter to you, but I don't know if you are willing to do it."

When he said these words, Mr. Liu suddenly became serious and stood up directly to look at Gu Huaijing.

This was probably the first time that Gu Huaijing saw Mr. Liu so serious. He immediately stood up and said, "Mr. Liu, you are serious. Regardless of whether this matter is true or not, your subordinates will always investigate clearly."

"It's work."

Mr. Liu is in charge of all affairs in the court and can be said to be the most trusted person by the emperor. Now that he knows that the princes have ambitions, he feels a little uncomfortable, but he does not go to the emperor immediately. Well, if he chooses to investigate privately.

After the confrontation, Gu Huaijing left Mr. Liu's mansion.

Teng Xi saw her master coming out and hurried forward, "Master, are you okay?"

Gu Huaijing shook his head, dragged Teng Xi onto his horse, and left Elder Liu's mansion completely. Gu Huaijing then said, "The dispute between the princes has begun. Elder Liu found out that a batch of disaster relief materials had been embezzled."

"What, all the relief materials have been embezzled? Is it the crown prince or the second prince?"

Teng Xi looked at Gu Huaijing in disbelief.

Gu Huaijing said nothing, just shook his head.

Mr. Liu just noticed that something was wrong about this matter, and temporarily suspected that it was the prince who did it, but he was not very clear about who did it.

Seeing his master shaking his head, Teng Xi's expression became even more ugly, "Then what should we do?"

"Go and investigate. Now send someone to Jiangnan to investigate the disaster relief. Who is responsible for the disaster relief this time? I will be responsible for investigating."

"it is good."

After the master and servant separated, they began to do their own things.

By the time Tan Zhixu learned about the disaster relief, it was already two days later. Based on the trajectory of what happened in her previous life, she felt a little worried.
