Looking at the loss of the Empress Dowager's eyes, Gu Qingci was slightly touched. She always felt that the Empress Dowager was not so cold hearted as he Liancheng said.

Thinking about it, she shook her head. After all, she had never been with her mother.

After the meal, Gu Qingci heard a lot about Helian city's childhood from the Empress Dowager's mouth, as well as his preferences.

If the Empress Dowager is only hypocritical and perfunctory to Helian City, how can he even know these things?

In the middle of the meal, Gu Qingci thought of her second purpose, so she tentatively asked the Empress Dowager about the talented person who was familiar with materials.

The Empress Dowager said with a smile, "what's so rare about this? He's out there. Today, the mourning family asked him to choose a good jade material."

With that, the Empress Dowager wanted to be called in. Gu Qingci said in a hurry: "no, I'll just ask you a question when I'm going."

After saying goodbye to the empress dowager, Gu Qingci met the able man and the strange scholar outside the box.

A middle-aged man in Brown is adjusting several pieces of jade material in his hand. His eyes are tightly twisted into a seam because of his strength.

"Are you?"

The man knew the purpose of Gu Qingci and said with a smile: "you're welcome. I'm a locksmith beside the Empress Dowager. I happen to know something about materials."

As soon as Gu Qingci saw his behavior, he could not be an ordinary locksmith, otherwise he would not be taken by the Empress Dowager.

She took out the token and asked respectfully, "Sir, please have a look at the material of this token."

I didn't expect that the locksmith would be hesitant. After taking the token, he stood up nervously, "how can this appear here?"

Although he was just mumbling to himself, Gu Qing's words were real, so he quickly asked, "Sir, have you seen this material?"

Locksmith stuffy for a long time, this just looked up to Gu Qingci, "this material once appeared in Tianjian villa."

After hearing about the manner and tone of Tianjian villa, Gu Qingci blurted out: "what's the relationship between you and Tianjian villa?"

The locksmith was silent for a moment, and then said, "I was also a craftsman of Tianjian villa."

I didn't expect that she was from Tianjian villa. Fortunately, she came here today. This time, she really gambled right.

"I see. Tell me, sir, what is the matter with this material?"

The locksmith recalled: "it's still 18 years ago. At that time, the material appeared in Tianjian villa, but it was a top secret file. Because I was obsessed with looking for new materials at that time, in order to forge better ironware, I heard that there was information flowing out of the villa and said that a batch of new materials would come. I would not let go of this obsession."

Gu Qingci frowned and asked, "have you found it?"

The locksmith's face was full of regret. "It's a pity that I didn't find that kind of material, and I almost died."

Gu Qingci quickly asked, "what's going on?"

The locksmith sighed for a moment, and then continued, "it's a pity that the news has been crushed to death within the villa, and all the relevant files have been destroyed. It's a pity that I have to bury this matter in my heart in order not to arouse suspicion."

How can Gu Qingci give up this clue to break again, she says in a quick voice: "can there be other clues?"

The locksmith thought about it, frowned and said, "in fact, it is a little bit, but I didn't dare to check it carefully at the beginning. I only know that the Xiao family has contacted this batch of goods."

Xiao family? Xiao is cold? Gu Qingci quickly asked that it was the Xiao family.

Seeing Gu Qingci's thoughtful appearance, the locksmith said, "by the way, I still remember one thing. It's true that the material was sent. However, the people in the villa don't know much about it. They just make them into small pieces of jade and then send them out."

Gu Qingci took the token on the table, and his face became more and more complicated. But now he has solved a mystery. Now Xiao Zhenghan accompanies Yan siniang in the inn. She will go back to ask about it in a moment.

When she left, she didn't expect to meet Helian city in the street. Obviously, he was very leisurely at the moment.

Gu Qingci asked: "you have been busy for a long time. Why don't you go to dinner with the Empress Dowager?"

He Liancheng laughed innocently. "No, what the Empress Dowager really wants to see is not me. Besides, I have eradicated her mother's greatest help. She is afraid that I will not be able to eat well when she sees me."

Gu Qingci frowned slightly, "Helian City, although you have told me about your relationship, I don't think she is like this..."

Helian City picked eyebrows and interrupted her, "little lady, are you so clever that she has cheated you? Don't see her like this. She's very good at acting. There's no match for her in the first emperor's generation. "

Gu Qingci was stunned with a smile, "have you said so about your mother?"

Helene shook his head. "She's not my biological mother."

Gu Qingci frowned: "if you really think so, why don't you check it out?"

Helian City shook his head again, "it's meaningless to find out this matter. The Empress Dowager's means are much better than you think. She won't let me find out. Besides, if I find out, what can I do? She is already the Empress Dowager."Gu Qingci slightly shook his head, "I always don't think so."

During such a meal, she could hear empress dowager Yang's sincere concern for Helian city.

If only perfunctory, how could she know so many details? Why do you have to recite what Helian city likes?

But looking at the appearance that he Liancheng didn't want to mention again, Gu Qingci still stopped the topic. After all, it was the matter of other people's mother and son, and she was not qualified to intervene.

Helian city suddenly approached Gu Qingci and said with a smile, "why do you care so much about me? Do you care about your future mother-in-law? "

Gu Qing said, "don't look for me for this kind of thing in the future. It's just for once. Never do it again."

Helian City laughingly catch up with Gu Qingci, "you helped me so much, I invite you to eat."

Gu Qing's words white his one eye, "don't, that other people's means, eat people's soft mouth, this truth I have learned profoundly."

He Lian Cheng pursed his lips and said with a smile: "this time it's really a thank you gift. I'll send some fruits and melons to the inn. You can eat them when you go back."

With that, He Lian Cheng asked, "is there any progress on the token?"

Gu Qingci nodded and shook his head again, saying, "I have to find Xiao Zhenghan to confirm some information."

With that, Gu Qingci took a heavy look at Helian City, "I'll go back first."

"Wait a minute." Helian city took a step closer and said with a smile, "by the way, little lady, I haven't told you that you are very beautiful today."

Gu Qing CI a Leng, "ah?"

But she did not look up to feel a strange wind, the next moment she was pulled back by a force, but did not fall due to instability, but leaned against a thick warm chest.

Gu Qingci didn't expect mu xuanjing to appear here, "how did you come back?"

Mu xuanjing took her waist and said, "it's done. I'll pick you up."

Gu Qingci looked at the inn less than 30 meters away from him and coughed, "do you need to pick it up so close?"

Mu xuanjing's vigilant eyes fell on Helian City, "to!"
