Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 83 Unpredictable
Xie Guangzhu didn't have a clue.

"If the identities of these people can be determined, perhaps all problems can be solved."

"We have already sent people to investigate." Gu Zhao said, "It just won't be so fast."

Gu Zhao thought for a moment and said, "I also plan to send someone to Xiangshan to check."

"You can also deploy it in advance."

The master and servant looked at each other and thought of something.

Since that person is going to meet in Xiangshan, he will naturally make arrangements in advance and maybe reveal some clues.

What's more, Xiangshan is not just any place, anyone can go there?

After all, it was the emperor’s first choice for climbing during the Double Ninth Festival every year. The maple trees all over the mountain were very beautiful in autumn.

Seeing that the emperor's trip is coming in about ten days, I don't know if he will go to Xiangshan this year. Ordinary people, even if they want to go sightseeing, will not choose this time. If they are detained to spy on the emperor's whereabouts The crime would lead to the destruction of the nine tribes.

It is precisely because of this that the person who asked him to meet did not notice these little things. Maybe he was trapped in Xiangshan for those few days and could only go to Xiangshan to meet him.

No matter what the reason is, it proves that this person's status is not simple.

"Your Majesty, could this be a trap designed by the Duke?"

"No." Gu Zhao said very firmly: "He will not do such a thankless thing."

"This kind of marriage is the emperor's decree. Even if he is dissatisfied, he will not disregard the emperor's face."

"I have another guess." Xie Guang said: "Could it be Liang Yuqi?"

"Why do you think it's him?" Gu Zhao looked at Xie Guangzhu uncomfortably.

He has watched himself grow up, just like his elders. Usually his father is unkind and his mother has passed away. Now the only elder around him is Xie Guangzhu.

Gu Zhao felt a little embarrassed for no reason when he mentioned his marriage.

"I just feel that this person is not an ordinary person. He can make friends with the Ji family without revealing anything. It seems that he is about to become an in-law."

Gu Zhao had also heard about this matter, but since he didn't like Liang Yuqi, he naturally didn't want to pay attention to his affairs.

"One more thing...if Miss Lin dies, it seems that all his stains will be wiped away, which is beneficial to him."

But this is inconsistent with the situation. The person who kidnapped Lin Miaofu did not take action against him. Otherwise, wouldn't it be clean to kill him on the spot?

Therefore, Gu Zhaocai felt that the people behind the scenes didn't want to get things done.

"If it really doesn't work, I will go to Xiangshan in two days."

"It seems that this is the only way, but the prince must take care." Xie Guang said: "Sometimes we can't see the situation clearly, but it's just because we are in it. If we can break out of this limitation, we can see things clearly. "

“Don’t be too hasty and let others take advantage of the loopholes.”

Gu Zhao nodded and said nothing else.

Liang Yuqi also encountered strange things here.

Master Fu Yin asked someone to pass him a message, asking him to go find the eldest prince.

This surprised him very much. He really didn't expect that this matter would be involved with the eldest prince.

It's not that he hasn't thought about which prince he wants to seek refuge with before, it's just that he wants money but no money, and power but no influence, so he simply can't knock on the doors of several princes.

It's just that he has recently followed the path of the Ji family and has gained some meager power.

Liang Yuqi and Mr. Tan discussed: "Sir, what do you think?"

"In my humble opinion, the Marquis might as well go visit the eldest prince and listen to his opinion first."

"This..." Liang Yuqi was a little embarrassed. He doesn't want to get too close to those princes and princes now.

After all, the Emperor is in his prime and will not retreat for a while.

If you get too close to any prince now, you will probably be liquidated if you do anything new.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is generous to others and strict with himself. He has a deep love for the Crown Princess and his wife. His children are all direct descendants of his father-in-law, and there is almost nothing that is criticized by the world.

If the person invited this time is the prince, he will definitely go happily, but if it is the eldest prince...

Mr. Tan didn't say much. It was up to the Marquis to make his own decision on such matters.

"Prepare a four-color gift box for me. I'm going to the First Prince's Mansion."

In the eldest prince's palace, he was playing chess with an old man.

"Your Highness, I have surrendered." The old man saluted respectfully and said, "Your Highness's chess skills are superb, I'm afraid no one can match them."

"Then who is better at chess, me or the second child?"

The black chess piece rolled in his hand, and he glanced at the old man seemingly casually.

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, is not good at this. Naturally, you are more skilled."

The old man seemed not to hear the implication and answered very sincerely.

Someone outside the door came to report that it was Liang Yuqi who came to see him.

"not see."

The eldest prince's lips slightly raised and he said, "If he comes again tomorrow, come back and report to me."

"Yes."

The old man was a little puzzled. He looked at the eldest prince and asked, "How can you be sure that he will come tomorrow?"

"I don't know." The eldest prince smiled slyly: "It is precisely because I don't know that I want to see what his choice is."

"Okay, let's not talk about those spoiling things. In a few days, my father will go to Xiangshan to climb with all the civil and military officials. I caught the cold and have already asked for leave from my father."

"I know." The old man said, "I really don't understand why the eldest prince did this. If you are not with His Majesty at this time, I'm afraid the Emperor will be dissatisfied."

"Even if I am by his side, how can he like me?" A trace of distortion flashed in the eldest prince's eyes, but he quickly covered it up.

Because his biological mother was just a wild girl who didn't know where she came from, but she only became known to people after she gave birth to him.

Now he is just a small concubine. If he wants to become a great treasure, he will naturally have to please his father who was born as an emperor.

But because of his status as a biological mother, the emperor had never looked down upon him.

Therefore, instead of looking for bargains in front of others, it is better to develop your own power.

"Then...why did you plan that kidnapping?"

"I'm bored, just doing a test." The eldest prince curled his lips and said, "Have you heard about it? When Gu Zhao heard the news, he immediately rushed out with his people... The people I sent saw it They are corpses, their throats were cut with a sharp weapon."

"What do you think his Majesty would think if he knew that there are people in the capital who hold such power?"

"How can you allow others to sleep soundly on your side?"

The smile on the eldest prince's face became deeper and deeper, and the old man in front of him couldn't help but shudder, feeling that this man's spirit might be a little abnormal.

"First Prince, you should think twice before doing this kind of thing..."

"If you are afraid of wolves in front of you and tigers in back when doing big things, it will be very difficult for you to succeed." The eldest prince looked at the old man expressionlessly: "You already know my intentions, so why bother to persuade me."
