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

Teng Xi panted and looked at Gu Huaijing, "Master, what else needs to be done?"

"Don't let others know about these goods."

"Yes."

Teng Xi nodded, rolled his eyes, and asked, "Master, don't you plan to tell your subordinates?"

"What happened in the west is actually an early warning. We cannot stop this kind of natural disaster."

"The goods?"

"Enough to cope with all difficulties."

Gu Huaijing understood in his heart, and his face was full of smiles.

After leaving the government office with Teng Xi, he wandered around to the restaurant.

Teng Xi ordered a few side dishes as usual, and after Gu Huaijing went to the upper room, he asked Gu Yu to invite Tan Zhixu over.

"Master Gu, are you here to say thank you?"

"Well, Xu Xu has helped me such a big favor, how can I not come and say thank you?" Gu Huaijing's eyes were shining with a smile.

Tan Zhixu raised his eyebrows, "No offense, the reason women do this is for themselves, not all for adults."

"Okay, I'll take note of this sentiment."

Gu Huaijing smiled and said nothing, while Tan Zhixu avoided his hot gaze.

"Master Gu, I'm inviting you to this dinner today from a local woman."

"Thank you."

Gu Huaijing and Tan Zhixu suddenly became estranged.

Teng Xi and Gu Yu were both confused. Although they had been like this in the past, they felt like something was wrong today.

The two of them originally wanted to say something, but when they met the eyes of the masters of each house, they didn't look like anything was wrong.

After thinking for a moment, Guyu opened his mouth, "Girl..."

"Okay Guyu, Mr. Gu needs to eat. Let's go take care of the other diners."

Tan Zhixu interrupted what Gu Yu was about to say.

Gu Yu understood and followed Tan Zhixu out of the house.

When they came to the corridor, Tan Zhixu said softly: "My dear girl is next door."

"She's here again?"

Gu Yu was puzzled. Wasn't what his girl said clearly enough before?

Tan Zhixu shook his head at Gu Yu, and the girl said no more.

The master and servant came downstairs to look after the other diners.

Perhaps because they couldn't find any flaws, the people sent by Jiao Niang left quickly, and Tan Zhixu returned to the upper room where Gu Huaijing was.

"You should keep those goods for now. As the weather changes, I think you may need them in the near future."

"okay, I get it."

Gu Huaijing nodded obediently.

Teng Xi and Gu Yu obediently stood guard in the corridor, while Gu Huaijing handed the secret letter to Tan Zhixu.

Tan Zhixu frowned when he saw the stamp, "From the palace?"

Gu Huai nodded and Tan Zhixu quickly read the letter.

After reading the contents of the letter, Tan Zhixu's face became even more ugly. After a while, he looked at Gu Huaijing and asked, "Is the dispute between the princes so intense now?"

Tan Zhixu didn't pay much attention to these things in his previous life, so he didn't know that at this time in his previous life, the relationship between these princes and the prince had already reached this point.

Since the second prince became a commoner, the prince's status has not been so stable.

Everyone knew that the emperor did not want to see the prince. Even Song Ling'er began to distance herself from the two, let alone the ministers of the court.

The content of this secret letter was about a letter between princes. The letter was sent by the third prince, and the letter was received by the fourth prince. Both princes said they supported the fifth prince.

It seems that despite their young age, these fifth princes still have quite high prestige among the princes.

"Why do these two princes support the fifth prince?" "The thing is very simple. This fifth prince is originally the biological son of the queen, and he is the kindest among the princes..."

Gu Huaijing briefly told Tan Zhixu about the fifth prince.

After listening to Gu Huaijing's words, Tan Zhixu understood.

The fifth prince's own ability is not bad, but the other princes just want to use him, not really want him to become the fifth prince.

"What about you? Who do you think can?"

"I never get involved in things that have nothing to do with me. The main reason why I tell you these things is because they want to use your money."

"I understand that I don't have the final say in the Hou Mansion now, and the old lady has already asked me to separate from the Zhou family in order to calm everyone's opinions. I can just take advantage of it."

Tan Zhixu didn't hide anything from Gu Huaijing and directly said what he wanted to say most in his heart.

Gu Huaijing's face looked a little ugly, "Xu Xu, you don't want..."

"I know. Thank you for worrying, Mr. Gu. It's getting late and the commoner woman has to go back home first."

Tan Zhixu knew what Gu Huaijing was going to say next, but she didn't want to hear it and turned around and left.

Watching Tan Zhixu disappear from his sight, Gu Huaijing's expression became even more ugly, "Teng Xi..."

"What's wrong, Master?"

When Teng Xi saw Tan Zhixu leaving at the door, a smile instantly appeared on his face.

But as soon as he arrived at the house, he saw Gu Huaijing's cold face.

Teng Xi instantly realized something was wrong, frowned suddenly, and looked at him nervously.

Gu Huaijing sipped his tea and raised his eyes to look at Teng Xi, "I have found a few more powerful people to keep an eye on Xu Xu recently."

"Is something going to happen?"

The master has sent people to guard Tan Zhixu for more than a day or two, but suddenly he wants someone with high skills to accompany him. What if this isn't an accident?

Gu Huaijing did not answer Teng Xi's words and drank a glass of wine fiercely, "Let's go, it's time to go to the palace."

After the prince was punished, the emperor was always worried recently. He asked Gu Huaijing several times to discuss the follow-up matters, but he always made excuses to avoid it.

But now he can't escape.

The emperor has issued a death order. If he does not go to the palace, the emperor will issue an order.

Teng Xi couldn't help but notice that Gu Huaijing was in trouble, so he quickly went to prepare the carriage.

The master and servant arrived at the palace, Teng Xi was waiting in the carriage, and Gu Huaijing went to Qianqing Palace alone.

The emperor had not gone to bed at this time, but seemed to be waiting for Gu Huaijing.

"Gu Aiqing, are you willing to come?" There was dissatisfaction in the emperor's words.

Gu Huaijing knelt on the ground without raising his head or saying a word until the emperor came to him and sighed,

"Tell me, why are you so stubborn? I know your abilities, so I asked you to assist the prince. Why do you just disagree? Do you think I will harm you?"

The emperor frowned, the confusion in his eyes getting deeper and deeper.

Gu Huaijing, who was kneeling on the ground, raised his eyes and saluted, "Your Majesty, I am just a small canal admiral. I will never be able to assist the prince."

"I said you can do it, you can do it."

The emperor tossed his sleeves angrily, and Gu Huaijing lowered his head.

After a long time, the emperor helped Gu Huaijing and said, "Get up and talk."

"Yes."

Gu Huai Jing stood up obediently. The emperor sat on the forehand position and pointed to the seat next to him, "Come and sit here."

"Wei Chen dare not."

"Gu Huaijing, I need you to choose a suitable prince to inherit the throne."

"Your Majesty..." Just as Gu Huaijing was about to refuse, the Emperor gave him a cold look, "The matter between you and the Tan family's legitimate daughter, I..."

"Your Majesty, I am at your service." Gu Huaijing frowned and interrupted the Emperor's words.

Seeing this, the emperor nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that my imperial army's investigation was absolutely correct."
