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

Not long ago, the news that the second prince wanted to deal with Tan Zhixu reached Gu Huaijing.

He was on his way back to Beijing from Jiangnan. Regardless of his physical fatigue, he and Teng Xi hurried forward. The original two-day journey was abruptly shortened to one day.

After returning to Beijing, Gu Huaijing went directly to the Hou Mansion without taking any rest.

The Hou Mansion seemed particularly cold in the dead of night. As soon as Gu Huaijing arrived in the courtyard, Gu Yu appeared, "Who is it?"

In the past few days, Tan Zhixu had been sleeping uneasily because of the second prince's affairs, and Gu Yu was also worried all day long. He got up at this hour just to see if the girl had rested, but unexpectedly he saw someone sleeping at night.

Guyu himself was also very scared, but he still pretended to be brave and faced the intruder with a bamboo pole.

"it's me."

Gu Huaijing recognized Gu Yu's voice and turned around and nodded to her.

Seeing that it was Gu Huaijing, Gu Yu took a deep breath and said, "Master Gu, why did you come here in the middle of the night? You scared me to death."

"No, didn't you go to Jiangnan to investigate the relief supplies? Did you just come back?" Gu Yu looked at Gu Huaijing in disbelief.

Under the night light, he indeed looked a little dusty.

Just now, Guyu was so scared that she didn't notice it. Now that she saw it, she felt that Mr. Gu's heart was full of his own girl.

"Is she all right?"

Gu Huaijing looked at Tan Zhixu's house, his bright eyes full of worry.

Guyu shook his head, "It's okay, don't worry, the girl has encountered a lot of things recently, but she can still handle it."

"Okay, then I'll go first."

Knowing that Tan Zhixu was asleep, Gu Huaijing left without disturbing him.

After Gu Huaijing left, the door of Tan Zhixu's room opened.

Guyu frowned slightly when he saw this, "Girl, are you not asleep? I thought you were asleep. I should have known better than to let Mr. Gu leave."

"You let him in in the middle of the night, did you intend to leave an excuse for Song Ling'er?"

"My slave, that's not what you meant. It's just that Mr. Gu just came from Jiangnan and came to see you. He returned without success. It looks very pitiful."

"Okay, it's getting late, go and have a rest."

"Yes."

Seeing that his girl didn't want to say anything, Gu Yu went back to the house sadly.

However, Tan Zhixu did not go back for a long time. She was sitting in the pavilion in the courtyard, thinking about her past with Gu Huaijing, and she still felt a little aggrieved.

Having reached this point today, there is no turning back. The grudges of the past life must be avenged in this life. Those who owed money in the past life are still owed in this life.

"Gu Huaijing, why are you so nice to me?"

Tan Zhixu looked up at the horizon, thinking about the eternal alliance he had made, and couldn't help crying.

After a sleepless night, Tan Zhixu woke up early and went to Zhuangzi.

But in the next few days, she never saw Gu Huaijing. Instead, Teng Xi appeared from time to time.

After several inquiries, Teng Xi finally spilled the beans.

"The master knows that the second prince wants to deal with you, and the prince is not in peace now, so the master brings the two of them together and makes them dog eat dog, so that neither the prince nor the second prince can care about you."

"But in such a dispute between princes, wouldn't it make Gu Huaijing very angry if he participated in it?"

Tan Zhixu knew that the battle between emperors was always cruel and that no one else could hide. Now that Gu Huaijing had to rely on him for her own sake, she felt a little sorry in her heart.

Teng Xi saw Tan Zhixu's concern and smiled in her eyes, "Don't worry, the master has made arrangements. There was a fight between them, but now the master is just following the trend and will not be implicated."

"Okay." Tan Zhixu said yes, but the worry in his heart did not diminish at all.

At that time, Emperor Gu Huai Jinggang reported the results of the investigation of Jiangnan disaster relief supplies. The prince followed closely and began to accuse the second prince.

"Father, the second child is responsible for this matter. Now he is lining his own pockets. This is ignoring the people."

The prince knelt on the ground and begged the emperor to punish the second prince severely.

Gu Huaijing kept kneeling on the ground without speaking.

The emperor looked at the prince and then at Gu Huaijing, "Gu Aiqing, is what the prince said true?"

"Your Majesty, everything that Wei Chen found has been written down in the notebook."

Gu Huaijing didn't say much and directly asked the emperor to read the memorial.

The emperor frowned and looked at the booklet handed over by Gu Huaijing. It was similar to what the prince said, but it was obvious that the prince had personal emotions.

The second prince was at most taken advantage of by those officials, but there was no such big crime as neglecting the people.

Thinking of the recent rumors of being overweight, the emperor's expression suddenly changed, "Prince, as the current prince, what crime could you have committed for framing your own brother?"

"Father, everything my son said is true. Could it be that Mr. Gu didn't find out?"

"Prince, Wei Chen found out that these sleeping chambers are indeed related to the second prince."

Gu Huaijing would not let the prince point the finger at him, so he quickly took it out.

"Gu Aiqing, please step back first."

"Yes."

Gu Huaijing knew that the foreshadowing he left earlier had worked.

Although the emperor dotes on the prince, he is very afraid of anyone who fears his throne.

People in high positions are afraid that someone will care about their things, even their own sons.

The prince is now targeting several princes everywhere and has stated several times that he wants to be the emperor. This has touched the emperor's negative side.

After leaving the meeting hall, Gu Huaijing went to find Tan Zhixu with a relaxed look.

The prince and the second prince were both involved in the Jiangnan disaster relief supplies. The emperor originally wanted to keep things quiet, but the two princes' coveting of the throne made him merciless.

Immediately summon all the ministers to investigate the matter thoroughly, especially the remarks that the East Palace is about to change hands and the emperor wants to give in. We must investigate thoroughly.

The prince and the second prince were both called forward. After hearing the emperor's words, they realized the seriousness of the matter.

"Father, it's all my fault. I was confused for a moment. I really had no involvement in this matter."

"Father, you are strong and strong, how can your sons covet the throne?"

The second prince and the prince both began to defend themselves, but the seeds of doubt had been sown, and the emperor no longer trusted them.

"Get out."

The emperor drove the two away and ordered a thorough investigation.

The prince and the second prince knew that the matter had reached this point and could no longer reverse the emperor's thoughts, so they could only protect themselves wisely.

The two princes were so busy that they didn't even care about Song Linger.

Song Ling'er originally planned to let the second prince take care of Tan Zhixu, but now the second prince has even disappeared from her face.

"What did you say? The Emperor is strictly investigating the Second Prince and the Crown Prince?" Song Ling'er, who was enjoying tea leisurely, suddenly stood up and was in disbelief when she heard what the maid said.

The maid knelt down and stumbled: "Girl, this is the rumor I heard. As for whether it is true or not, I don't know yet, but the second prince and the prince are indeed grounded."
