An Ning did not refuse. They held the same umbrella and walked towards the stop of the carriage. When they stopped beside the carriage, An Ning discovered that his shoulders were covered with falling snow. Gu Qingzhao looked at the falling water diagonally above with his hands.

He shook his head in concern, and handed the old umbrella to An Ning under everyone's surprised gazes.

"I guess Miss An will have something to travel later, so I'll give this umbrella to Miss An."

An Ning looked at the umbrella in his hand, "But, Mr. Gu, this umbrella seems to be the only umbrella in your home. If you give it to me, what will you do?"

Gu Qingzhao said softly: "It doesn't matter, I'll do it again."

An Ning chuckled, reached out to take the umbrella in his hand, and said warmly: "Okay, thank you very much, Mr. Gu."

After parting ways, An Ning took a carriage to the famous Shiheju in Kyoto.

As soon as she entered, she was greeted by someone, and she followed her maid An Ning to a private room decorated with purple inside and outside. When she looked up, she saw that this private room was called "Purple".

"Miss An, the master is waiting for you in the private room."

An Ning stepped through the door frame, and the door closed immediately.

"Miss An, I've been waiting for a long time." A shady male voice came from the purple bead curtain.

An Ning opened the bead curtain and apologized: "Seventh Prince has been waiting for a long time."

Cang Shuo looked at the umbrella in An Ning's hand with a strange look in her eyes, "It seems that Miss An went to see Mr. Gu."

Hearing this, An Ning was also surprised and said, "Does the Seventh Prince recognize this umbrella?"

Cang Shuo chuckled, "That's so familiar. Six years ago, Mr. Gu would bring this umbrella to court every time it rained. It was really impressive. Now after six years, this umbrella is much older.

.”

"That's it." An Ning leaned the umbrella against the corner, "Yesterday, Mr. Gu saved An Ning's life. Today, An Ning went to Mr. Gu's residence to express her gratitude, and Mr. Gu sent him an umbrella."

She sat opposite Cang Shuo.

Cang Shuo's lips were half-smiling, "That's right, but in my opinion, Mr. Gu and Miss An are both talented and good-looking."

The curve of An Ning's mouth was not light but deep, "Seventh Prince, be careful what you say."

Cang Shuo raised her eyebrows, then immediately put away her careless look and said, "Miss An, let's get down to business. What was your purpose in taking that Love Yunnan Moon Bracelet that day?"

When An Ning was playing with the Love Yunnan Moon Bracelet that day, she gave him an unclear look, so he asked her out today to find out what her intentions were.

An Ning sighed softly and said rather melancholy: "Now my second sister is about to marry into the seventh prince's house, and my marriage with the prince has also failed. The general's house always has to consider its options, don't you think so, seventh prince?"

Cang Shuo's eyes were slightly narrowed, as if she was thinking about the truth or falsehood of what she said.

"Miss An, could it be..."

"What? You can't trust me?" An Ning asked.

"How could it be? It's just that Miss An used to like the prince so much, but now she doesn't like him anymore if she really says she doesn't like him?" Everyone can see how crazy An Ning was in the past.

An Ning said nothing, but looked at the umbrella in the corner and said calmly: "Now I like someone else."

Cang Shuo chuckled, one corner of her mouth curved slightly, and she looked at An Ning in surprise.

Did she fall in love with Gu Qingzhao? Is it true? Did she give up the prince who was so crazy about her so easily?

"Miss An..."

An Ning interrupted him, "Seventh Prince, to show my sincerity, I have some news to reveal to you."

"What?"

"I have some clues about Ruan Fang's case."

Cang Shuo's expression immediately became extremely serious, and he said cautiously: "What clue?"

"At the beginning, when the imperial court broadcast the official silver, many people with high martial arts skills were sent to guard it. And because the prince was traveling in person, the number of people was twice as many as usual. What kind of bandit has such strength that can send the imperial court to guard the official silver?

Kill the people who go out without leaving any trace behind?"

Cang Shuo's eyes immediately flashed with deep thought.

"There are two possibilities. The bandits are not real bandits, and the guards are not real guards?"

An Ning nodded, "Yes, but the former one can basically be ruled out. Because if what Ruan Qingcheng said is true, the official silver has never been in the hands of the Ruan County magistrate from the beginning to the end, then most of the escorting guards are on the way.

He was assassinated, and the few remaining guards may have known about it, and when they arrived in Feng County, they were legitimately killed in the fight with the bandits, leaving no trace."

Cang Shuo looked at An Ning with some suspicion in his eyes, "How do you know this? When did you check it?"

The current tranquility felt too dangerous to him. How could a woman suddenly undergo such a big change? Could it be that she wanted to take revenge on the prince?

"The Seventh Prince doesn't need to worry about my investigation. It's harmless to the Seventh Prince anyway, right? These days, the Household Department is also being targeted by the Prince."

Cang Shuo clasped the table board one by one, "It seems that Miss An is really deeply responsible for the prince's love."

"I will investigate this matter. Since the Ruan family is innocent, they should be given justice. However, Miss An, Miss Ruan is now living in the General's Mansion, and Miss An will not do anything because of her and the prince's affairs.

Have a vicious hand."

No wonder he was worried, he felt that the woman in front of him would do anything to take revenge on the prince.

An Ning frowned and said stiffly: "No."

"Very good." Cang Shuo stood up with satisfaction, "Miss An, from now on, we are in the same boat. But until now, I still remember that Miss An did not accept the love Yunnan moon bracelet.

It's such a pity. If I ask Miss An again at this moment, will Miss An be willing to be my concubine in the future as a queen?"

Cang Shuo completely ignored what An Ning said just now that she liked Gu Qingzhao. Firstly, she didn't believe it. Gu Qingzhao was a cold-hearted person. Except for his face, his aura was completely repulsive.

The second is to still be lucky.

An Ning walked to the corner, picked up the old umbrella, touched it with her hand and said, "An Ning already said that there is someone he likes."

Mr. Gu, you helped me again, thank you.

"Then does he like you?"

An shook his head, "If you like someone, you don't have to be together. Compared to the prince's secretiveness, such a person is so open that people forget to stop."

After saying An Ning, he opened the bead curtain and left.

Cang Shuo looked at the distant figure and repeated it in her mind: An Ning likes Gu Qingzhao?

He frowned. The look on her just now didn't look like she was being fake. If it was true, he could bring these two people together. The General's Mansion was now leaning towards him. With An Ning and Gu Qingzhao together, he could easily bring Gu Qingzhao together.

Qingzhao was brought under his command.

With such a lineup, it will be just around the corner for him to ascend to the throne.

···

At the same time that An Ning returned to the General's Mansion, Ruan Qingcheng also returned to the General's Mansion.
