Maizi was of low status and cautious in doing things. When the news that Hua Jincheng had been to Yong'an Lane reached Gu Yu, it was already the day before the peony feast.
Gu Yu frowned as he looked at the passed note.
At that time, four consular eunuchs were found to have connections with the Jiaofang Division: Wang Bai from the Palace and Bedroom Division, Shou Yan from the Bell and Drum Division, Kang Zhao from the Silver Bureau, and Hua Jincheng from the Royal Beast Garden.
Gu Yu either placed spies around them or bribed the people around them.
Maizi is the person Gu Yu bribed.
Everything was quiet until the news came out.
After the death, Mrs. Xu entered Yong'an Lane and could no longer jump up and down.
But Gu Yu didn't want her to die. She kept remembering what Dr. Xiao Leng said about the birth of the tenth prince.
If possible, she would dig out the truth.
Doesn’t the Holy One need face the most?
Then she would trample the Holy Lord's face on the ground.
Secondly, she felt that some officials from the Ninth Prince faction were very calm.
Shao Wuji's undercover investigation work seemed to have encountered a bottleneck.
Gu Yu didn't know who was secretly helping the Ninth Prince Faction. The deposed Xu family was a bait. She wanted to see if she could catch fish underwater.
Shouldn’t we fish out the Huajincheng in the Royal Beast Garden now?
But Gu Yu felt something was wrong.
If the deposed Queen Xu was the founder of the Goddess Cult, how could she be associated with Jing Shuang, the son of the deposed prince of the previous dynasty, and how could she be so vulnerable?
These questions are currently unclear, but what Gu Yu can be sure of is that Hua Jincheng must have some agenda when he contacted the deposed Xu family at this time.
Derong came from the Royal Beast Garden, and tomorrow he will choose the princess for the fifth prince.
No matter what they are planning, they cannot succeed.
Gu Yu quickly wrote down the news and asked Lan Yan to send it over.
It was getting late and the palace gate was about to be locked. Even if Junze knew the news now, it would be too late to enter the palace.
But it helps him to be mentally prepared.
Lan Yan came all the way to the eldest princess's mansion, but saw Jun Ze's face was gloomy.
Just now, the Jun family delivered a message to the eldest princess's mansion.
A member of the Jun family branch was run over to death while visiting relatives in Kyoto, and his wife was missing.
Every wrongdoer has his own owner, and the person who ran him over has paid a large sum of money to him.
The matter was settled here, but someone familiar with the deceased said that the wife of the deceased was actually following that beast Wang Pei.
In order to find out what happened, the Jun family went to ask the deceased's wife about the situation, but the deceased's wife seemed to have done something wrong and ran away quickly.
After a long investigation, the Jun family found out that Wang Pei had run over a man to death, robbed his wife, and found a scapegoat to compensate.
However, the Jun family branch had already collected the money, and the deceased's wife was willing to follow her husband's murderer.
But this time, the Jun family couldn't swallow their bad breath. When the incident spread, where would the Jun family lose their face?
We can only hope that Junze can take action and deal with Wang Pei.
After all, even Prime Minister Wang couldn't control Wang Pei in the capital, only Jun Ze could.
Junze has been troubled a lot recently, and he is worried that he can't find an outlet to vent his anger. Wang Pei just happened to offend him.
It's really the anvil of the blacksmith's shop - born to fight.
Junze was unhappy here and planned to give Wang Pei a good deal after the Peony Banquet.
Lan Yan opened the door and came in, handing the letter written by Gu Yu to Junze.
Seeing the familiar brushstrokes, Junze finally suppressed his restlessness.
Huajincheng...
Junze rubbed his fingers, wanting to investigate this person carefully.
But it's too late today.
Junze read the letter over and over again, feeling that missing someone after reading the words was like scratching the surface and making people uncomfortable.
Junze carefully folded the letter and returned it to Lan Yan, saying, "Let Gu Yu come over by yourself and pass the news to me."
Lan Yan:...
Lan Yan followed Jun Ze's instructions and returned all the way to the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
Lan Yan said to Gu Yu with a look of embarrassment: "The prince has not seen me at all, nor has he read this letter. He said that if you want to spread the news, he should go and tell it personally."
Gu Yu:???
Is he sick?
Gu Yudao: "Did you tell him it was urgent?"
Lan Yan said: "The prince has not seen me at all, he only asked Guan Yan to convey it."
Gu Yu was furious.
This ungrateful bitch!
Gu Yudao: "Tell him, it's none of my business whether he likes to read this letter or not."
Lan Yan:...
Lan Yan went all the way back to the princess's mansion and told Junze what Gu Yu said.
Junze said: "Tell her, now we are just grasshoppers on the same rope. She likes to talk or not, but we will die together anyway."
Lan Yan:...
After returning to the Princess's mansion, Lan Yan relayed Junze's words to Gu Yu.
Gu Yuqi's head was spinning.
Junze must have read the letter!
This is deliberately to cause trouble for her!
Gu Yu waved her hand and told Lan Yan to retreat.
But before Lan Yan went out, Gu Yu slammed the table angrily and asked again: "He really didn't read the letter?"
Lan Yan almost vomited when she was going back and forth between the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion and the Princess's Mansion today. She immediately said with her most sincere eyes: "I really didn't read the letter!"
Gu Yu was so angry that she gritted her teeth. Even though she was 90% sure that Junze had seen it, the remaining one still made her uneasy.
This matter is not trivial. If he really didn't look at it and an accident happened tomorrow, he would regret it too much.
Her damn sense of responsibility!
While Gu Yu was angry at Jun Ze's bastard, she followed Lan Yan to the eldest princess's mansion.
Arriving at Heliyuan from the back door of the eldest princess's mansion, there was an uninvited guest in the courtyard.
Lan Yan asked Gu Yu to wait outside.
Gu Yu's ears were so sensitive that she heard the two people inside talking.
Princess Songyang held a roster of noble girls in her hand and spat: "Lu Qing, the daughter of Jingzhao Yin Luling, is sixteen this year. She is well-educated and sensible. I have met her at a banquet before. She is absolutely beautiful."
, can match you."
Gu Yu's face was full of gloom.
Did Junze insist on bringing her here just to let her hear him choose the princess?
Gu Yu turned around and was about to leave, when she heard Junze sneer inside.
Junze said: "When Lu Ling saw me, he wanted to shrink his neck and look like a turtle. If I married his daughter, someone who didn't know would think I was his father-in-law."
Gu Yu:...
Songyang:...
Lan Yan:...
Junze was so upset that he didn't wait for Gu Yu, but Songyang came.
Songyang came to act as a lobbyist on his mother's orders, telling him about the situation of the noble girl attending the Peony Banquet tomorrow, and he couldn't drive her away no matter how hard she tried.
Songyang turned another page and said: "Song Wei, the daughter of General Yunhui, is seventeen years old. She is a tiger girl in the general's family. She has strong martial arts. Maybe she can compete with you."
Junze had some dealings with General Yunhui, but he had met Song Wei a few times.
He laughed contemptuously again and said: "Excellent in martial arts? How about her little tricks and embroidered legs to compete with me? I slapped her against the wall with my palm and she couldn't even get the buckle off."
Gu Yu:...
Songyang:...
Lan Yan:...
Songyang was unwilling to give in and turned another page and said: "The daughter of Marquis Zhongwu..."
Junze: "It's too ugly, it's an eyesore."
Songyang: "The daughter of the Minister of Industry..."
Junze: "Have a rest, she's so skinny, I'm afraid I'll blow her away in one breath."
He said several things in succession, but Junze shot them back one by one.
Songyang was very angry and said: "This won't work, that won't work. I think you'll be alone all your life."
Junze said: "I hope so, so don't waste time here with me. Go back early to wash up and sleep."
Songyang was very angry. Knowing that Junze was like this because of Gu Yu, he couldn't help but said: "Young Master Gu has so many wives and concubines, why are you still thinking about her!"
Gu Yu's heart tightened outside. She didn't want to hear Junze's answer, fearing that after going through so many things, the answer she heard was not what she wanted to hear.
But as soon as he raised his feet, Junze's furious voice came from inside:
