Alluring City

"Already left, Madam, you were born eight months after you left the Gu family."

"Then why did my mother leave the Gu family?" Gu Xiaowu asked again.

Eight months... That means her mother was pregnant before she left the Gu family. So, why did the pregnant mother leave the Gu family?

Moreover, since my mother was poisoned when she was pregnant with her, why is nothing wrong with her?

Could the poison on the mother's body be placed by the Gu family?Gu Xiaowu was skeptical, but not sure.

She has seen all the members of the Gu family. Except for Mrs. Gu, the rest should have no motive.

If... If Gu Xizhi can be found, maybe everything will be answered.

"Suyue doesn't know, Suyue only met Madam after she left the Gu family, so she doesn't know anything about Madam's previous affairs." Suyue whispered.

She met Madam and Madam left Gu's house on the same day, but she really didn't know the reason why Madam left Gu's house.

She only knew that when she first left Gu's house, Madam would spend a long time drawing pictures every day. Every time she drew the same person, but she only drew a back view, never the front face of that person.

Madam didn't paint any more until the young lady was born, and even burned all the previous paintings.

"You know this token, right?" Gu Xiaowu pointed at the token on the table and asked solemnly.

Gu Xiaowu has always been very concerned about the fact that there is such a suspicious object in his mother's room, and always feels that this token is unusual.

"Yes!" Su Yue bit her lip, but hesitated in her heart.

If she told the truth, all her previous concealment would be in vain, but if she didn't tell the truth, the master would definitely find out.

She is really in a dilemma now, but the master is waiting for her answer.

"Then, can you tell me the purpose of this token?" Gu Xiaowu said in an undeniable tone.

"I……"

Su Yue was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden knock on the door.

Gu Xiaowu missed Su Yue's obviously relieved expression because he focused his eyes on the door of the wing room.

"Come in!" Gu Xiaowu raised his voice slightly.

In Tianxiang Building, no one would disturb her without her order, so there must be something wrong with someone knocking on the door at this time.

It was Su Xin who came in.

"Master, the Third Prince sent someone to invite you to the Three Prince's Mansion."

Ah Xun?Gu Xiaowu was a little surprised.

It's only been a short while since she returned to Jiangning City, yet he actually knew that she was back, and that she was in Tianxiang Tower?

If she didn't know that it is impossible to have a tracker or a locator in this era, then she would have already installed a tracker on her body.

Before Gu Xiaowu responded, Su Yue said, "Master, during the days you went to Yuecheng, the Third Prince and the Eleventh Prince both came to look for you."

Gu Xiaowu propped his chin with his left hand, bit his red lips subconsciously, and said after a long time: "Su Xin, go and tell someone, I'll come right away."

Then she turned her head to Su Yue, and said word by word: "When I come back, I hope to hear the answer I want to hear."

After speaking, put away the token on the table, got up and walked out of the wing.

Su Yue turned her head and watched helplessly as her master's figure disappeared from sight.

After a long time, a vague sigh came to mind in the wing room.

The person who came to pick up Gu Xiaowu was Jiannan.

Gu Xiaowu didn't bring Su Xin with him when he went to the Three Princes' Mansion. Firstly, he thought that Su Xin didn't have much rest after traveling all night, so he wanted her to rest more; She wants to talk about something, so it's okay not to bring anyone.

Arriving at the Three Princes' Mansion, Jiannan took Gu Xiaowu to the study room, closed the door and left immediately.

Dugu Xun was sitting behind the desk, when he saw Gu Xiaowu coming in, he stood up to greet him.

"I haven't seen you for a long time. During the Chinese New Year, I wanted to invite you into the palace to watch the fireworks, but I didn't expect you to go to the country of Yan." There was a faint smile on Dugu Xun's lips, and he knew everything. , but looked half-knowledgeable.

However, if Shaoqing hadn't sent him a letter, he really wouldn't have known that she had gone to Yuecheng.

However, Xiao Wu, who grew up in the cottage in Yinshan, when did he meet Miss Su who had never left Moon City?

He was curious about this!

"You are amazing!" After a long silence, Gu Xiaowu finally uttered these words slowly.

"Really, thank you for the compliment." It was obviously a slightly sarcastic remark, but it was misinterpreted by him as a compliment.

Gu Xiaowu was speechless, and the study fell into silence again.

Dugu Xun was not in a hurry to speak, but Gu Xiaowu couldn't hold his breath anymore.

"Tell me, so anxious to find me, is there something wrong?"

The corner of Dugu Xun's mouth raised slightly, and he handed a piece of neatly folded rice paper to Gu Xiaowu's hand, and said cheerfully, "Open it and have a look."

Gu Xiaowu glanced at Dugu Xun in surprise, and then unfolded the rice paper.

Nothing was written on the rice paper, just a portrait of a person.

The painting on it is a man wearing a mask, and it is still very familiar.

"I think you should have guessed it, half a month ago, someone saw him in Nanban." Dugu Xun said lightly.

"Gu Xizhi?" Gu Xiaowu asked uncertainly.

Although the two people in the portrait look alike, the world is so big, and there are many people of different bloodlines who look alike, let alone just a portrait!

"I can't be sure, but it's very similar to the person in the portrait drawn by Mrs. Gu's family before." In order to find this irresponsible little fifth father, he really took a lot of effort to find out some information.

Although it is still uncertain, it is still close.

"You said, he's in Nanman?" Gu Xiaowu lowered his eyes, Dugu Xun didn't know what she was thinking.

"Well, someone saw him in Nanman half a month ago. He was wearing a mask like in the portrait, so they didn't see his face." What Nanman said, could it be because of the hunting conference?

But his intuition told him that it was impossible for that man named Gu Xizhi to care about such a boring event as a hunting conference.

"Nanman..." Gu Xiaowu sighed softly, suddenly feeling very tired.

It seems that everything happened together, mother's poison, Su Yue's concealment, and... Gu Xizhi's news.

Gu Xiaowu smiled self-deprecatingly, she is really not suitable for such a busy life, really, she really wants to be lazy all the time!

Seeing Gu Xiaowu like this, Duguxun felt very unbearable, but he didn't know why.

"If you want, you can go to Nanman with me to confirm for yourself." Dugu Xun said lightly, "In two days, Brother Dahuang, Eleven and I will go to Nanman, you can go with us .”

Not all the princes of Tianchen will participate in the hunting conference, because if they all go to Nanman, it is really hard to guarantee that Nanman will not have any bad thoughts.

However, the children of courtiers are relatively free, they can participate as long as they want to, and they will not force them if they don't want to.

Gu Xiaowu sighed again, Nanman... Ah Zhi also said he was going to Nanman!

"Okay, do you want to leave after the fifteenth day? I will be ready, and you only need to send someone to inform me at that time."

I always feel that if I don't go to Nanman, I will regret it. Although her intuition is not accurate every time, but this time the premonition is extremely strong.

"You must have not had breakfast yet, I've already had someone prepare it, let's eat together!" Dugu Xun took the portrait from Gu Xiaowu's hand, folded it up and put it on the table.

After Dugu Xun said this, Gu Xiaowu realized that he seemed to have not eaten anything since noon yesterday, and now he was very hungry.

I have been thinking about things before, so I have never felt hungry, but now that I have stopped, I feel hungry and dizzy.

Gu Xiaowu nodded, and Dugu Xun continued, "Let's have dinner at the mansion at noon. Eleven said he would come over today, and he went to Tianxiang Tower to look for you before risking being fined to kneel!"

Because of the matter of going to Tianxiang Tower that day, he and Shiyi were punished to kneel for a whole morning, and he still feels a dull pain in his knees when he thinks about it.

Although he was often taught a lesson by the elder brother when he was a child, he has not been punished since he was 16 years old. That day was the first time he was punished since he was 16 years old, and it was a humiliating punishment to kneel down!

So even though he knew that Tianxianglou was Xiao Wu's foothold, he didn't dare to look for her again, but sent someone to go there, but it was the child Eleven who went in person.

"Punish to kneel?" Gu Xiaowu asked in confusion.

Dugu Xun smiled lightly, and said, "Yes, kneeling as punishment."

Gu Xiaowu was a little confused, what does going to Tianxiang Tower to find her have to do with being punished to kneel?

"Okay, don't think about it anymore, let's go to the dining room to eat!" Dugu Xun stood up and walked towards Gu Xiaowu.

Gu Xiaowu didn't think any more, got up and followed Duguxun out of the study.

Dugu Xun was keenly aware that Gu Xiaowu had something on his mind, but he didn't ask too many questions, and just quietly stayed by her side.

He knew very well that if she was willing to speak, she would bring it up even if he didn't ask; on the other hand, if she was unwilling to speak out, it would be useless even if he asked.

Duguyi didn't keep them waiting for too long, the two of them just had breakfast for a while, when Duguyi rushed over in a hurry.

Seeing Gu Xiaowu, Duguyi rushed over to give her a big hug, but was stopped by Duguxun.

"Eleventh, whether a man or a woman can kiss each other." Dugu Xun raised his eyebrows and said.

Although he knew that his younger brother had a weak concept of men and women, he would still stop what should be stopped.

"Third brother, what does it matter, Xiao Wu and I are good brothers; besides, look how she looks like a girl!" Duguyi couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The third brother is really making a big deal out of a molehill, Xiao Wu is obviously brothers with him, what's wrong with hugging between brothers?
