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

Gu Huaijing could ignore himself, but he couldn't ignore Tan Zhixu.

The emperor actually asked the imperial army to investigate him, which he did not expect.

Gu Huaijing lowered his eyes. Even though the emperor couldn't see his expression now, he knew that he must be dissatisfied with his actions.

But as the current emperor, he really had no choice. If there were other ways, he would naturally not choose to use Tan Zhixu to threaten Gu Huaijing.

The moment their eyes met, neither the emperor nor Gu Huaijing said a word.

After a while, the emperor came to Gu Huaijing.

"Gu Aiqing, do you think I have any other ideas?"

The emperor, who was so aloof, was now helpless in front of an official. This had never happened before.

Before Gu Huaijing could say anything, the emperor sighed and said, "Gu Aiqing, I just want our country to be able to continue. It must not be ruined in my hands."

Finally, Gu Huaijing opened his mouth.

He bowed his hands with an extremely serious expression, "Your Majesty, I am an official of the imperial court, so naturally I have to serve you, Your Majesty. But now you are asking me to choose the prince, is it really appropriate?"

If the emperor had not mentioned Tan Zhixu, Gu Huaijing would not have stayed.

Since the emperor has already mentioned this, he naturally has to say a few words.

"Your Majesty, what about the prince? As their father, you should know best that whatever you want your subordinate to do, he will do it in accordance with your will."

Gu Huaijing lowered his head and responded.

The emperor shook his head helplessly, and then there was another period of silence.

"What do you think about the third prince and the fourth prince supporting the fifth prince?"

"I can't see it."

"Gu Huaijing, you and I are old acquaintances. Do you want to leave me alone now?"

The emperor and Gu Huaijing were indeed old acquaintances. When the emperor was still the prince, Gu Huaijing had just passed the exam. He admired Gu Huaijing and secretly helped him.

Gu Huaijing didn't want to accept the prince's help at first, but there were too many people who were jealous of him. The prince secretly helped him and cleared many obstacles. After going back and forth, the two of them became familiar with each other.

After the prince ascended the throne and became the current emperor, Gu Huaijing also became the emperor's most trusted minister.

His official position is not the highest, but he is a popular person around the emperor.

"Your Majesty, it is precisely because I am someone you trust that I cannot participate in this fight for the right to inherit the heir. The dispute between the princes is already very involved. If the subordinates get involved again, will the prince get close to the officials? If they also threaten them What about your subordinates? Your Majesty’s subordinates are soft-spoken, and I don’t want to be a burden to you."

Gu Huai Jingrao seriously explained to the emperor why he would not participate. ,

Perhaps his explanation was too serious, and the emperor gave up his original idea.

He put his hands behind his hands and smiled at Gu Huaijing, "You just worry too much. If you really care about Tan Zhixu, I have many ways to help you..."

"Your Majesty, the matter between Xiaguan and Xu Xu can be settled."

Gu Huaijing rejected the emperor's kindness.

Seeing what Gu Huaijing said, the emperor didn't say anything more.

In fact, he had never thought about this matter, but thinking about Tan Zhixu's current concealment from him, he still chose to give up.

After all, some things cannot be forced.

The mission given by the emperor to Gu Huaijing did not create any pressure, but he suddenly became enlightened.

After talking with Gu Huaijing, the emperor thought of some good ways to test which of these princes was more suitable to be the prince.

It turns out that many of the prince's actions have made the emperor very dissatisfied. If it were not forced by the situation, he would have dismissed the prince long ago.

"Gu Aiqing, I'll leave this matter to you. There are so many things happening in so many places, why don't you let you handle it?" The emperor frowned slightly, as if Gu Huaijing would definitely be punished for rejecting him.

Of course, Gu Huaijing was not so confident.

Even though the emperor never treated him as a subordinate, in this position, there were some things that he couldn't help himself.

"Your Majesty, I am your official. I will naturally do my best to do what you tell me." Gu Huaijing knelt on the ground to receive the order.

"You, I really can't do anything with you." The emperor had no choice but to help Gu Huaijing up.

Afterwards, Gu Huaijing left the palace.

By the time he arrived outside the Hou Mansion, it was already Haishi.

Thinking of the emperor's last words, Gu Huaijing felt uneasy in his heart. He looked at Teng Xi and asked the boy to go back to the Yamen, and then he sneaked into the Hou Mansion quietly.

The backyard of the Hou Mansion.

Tan Zhixu couldn't sleep for a long time. When she saw Gu Yu sleeping, she secretly came to the backyard.

Looking at the half-withered peach blossom tree in front of her, Gu Huaijing's face flashed in her mind.

Not knowing why he suddenly thought of him, Tan Zhixu couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

"What did you think of that made you so happy?"

Suddenly Gu Huaijing's voice came from behind. Tan Zhixu thought she had heard wrongly. She suddenly looked back, but she happened to meet Gu Huaijing's peach blossom eyes.

He was smiling, and Tan Zhixu was stunned for a moment.

It was when Gu Huaijing came to Tan Zhixu that she came back to her senses and asked, "Why are you here?"

"I just came back from the palace and I was a little worried, so I came to see you."

"Did you suddenly give so much wood because you needed it for what was going to happen next?"

Gu Huaijing chose to go straight in and did not give Tan Zhixu a chance to veto.

Facing Gu Huaijing's question, Tan Zhixu's eyes flashed with panic.

She avoided Gu Huaijing's hot eyes and smiled softly, "Mr. Gu, is this what you came to visit late at night to tell the peasant woman?"

"Xu Xu, there's no one around now, so you don't have to be so alienated from me."

Gu Huaijing looked at Tan Zhixu sadly.

She knew that Gu Huaijing was sincere now, but Tan Zhixu did not dare to respond at all. She retreated with a smile on her face, "Mr. Gu, there are differences between men and women."

"Okay, that's up to you."

Gu Huaijing didn't pursue the matter further and just gave Tan Zhixu a memorial.

"This is the emperor's next move."

Tan Zhixu, who had just received the memorial, turned on the light to read it and froze in place because of Gu Huaijing's words.

Memorial.

That can only be seen by the emperor. Can she see it as she pleases?

Tan Zhixu shook his head quickly, "I can't look at it."

"Just watch it if you are told, and the emperor will not know."

Gu Huaijing's expression was serious, even though many Tan Zhi didn't dare to look at him, he was a little tempted now.

She pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then opened the memorial.

Tan Zhixu was a little anxious, so he looked quickly.

But I still saw the content of the memorial clearly.

She suddenly raised her eyes, her eyebrows filled with disbelief, "What's going on? The struggle between these princes has reached this point?"

"Correct."

If the emperor hadn't asked him to see this, Gu Huaijing wouldn't have known that the entire court had been divided into several factions.

Gu Huaijing was sitting under the peach blossom tree, feeling a little depressed.
