Pei House.
The maids came in one file at a time, washing and dressing Gu Ning in an orderly manner.
Gu Ning half closed her peach blossom eyes, and Sui Chunyu tossed about her makeup.
Until then, she felt a sense of old age.
The system spoke at the right time: "Look! Look! As long as you work hard to maximize your luck points, the Pei family's wealth alone will be enough for you to lie down comfortably until you grow old. Besides, the folk customs of Chu are open, and noble women support male pets." It's not uncommon either."
"Don't worry." Gu Ning replied lazily, "Xie Yan is right there, I can't run away."
The system was heartbroken: "If you continue to be passive and sabotage like this, your body will be terminally ill within three months!"
As the system's words came out, Gu Ning felt a sharp pain in his chest.
Her smile froze on her face, and even the maid beside her noticed the abnormality.
Several people quickly knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy skillfully: "The county lord, please forgive me! The county lord, please forgive me!"
Gu Ning held the armrest, and his small face suddenly turned pale.
Gu Ning was not afraid of biting when there were too many lice, so he directly used the system to minimize the pain, and then he was able to catch his breath.
"Master, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine." Gu Ning blinked, and his pale face gradually returned to normal.
Under Chunyu's watchful eyes, Gu Ning waved anxiously towards the maid who was kneeling on the ground: "Okay, it's none of your business!"
After saying that, she strode out of the bedroom.
Chunyu looked at her leaving back, her eyelids twitched suddenly, and she immediately had an ominous premonition, and hurriedly chased after her: "Master, where are you going?"
Gu Ning followed the route in his memory and walked straight to the side courtyard where he came yesterday.
The negative luck value is like a sharp sword, always hanging above her head, threatening her life at any time.
Since my "thoughts" for Xie Yan have already been cleared by the eldest princess, if I want to act out of line, it will not arouse the suspicion of others.
The small calculation in Gu Ning's heart was ringing, but he didn't expect that the side courtyard was already empty.
"Ning'er, why are you here?"
To make matters worse, Pei Anlin walked into the yard on his back.
Gu Ning would never miss the emotion in his eyes at the moment - his cabbage was gouged by a pig.
But he didn't know that Xie Yan was the juicy Chinese cabbage.
As Pei Anlin's eyes became sour, Gu Ning was startled, and immediately ran to his side, grabbed his sleeve with one hand, and said coquettishly, "Uncle, why are you here?"
"I'll come..." Pei Anlin swallowed the words as they came to his lips.
He sighed faintly: "Ning'er, this world has always been unfair. Even if King Duan betrayed you first, you still have a marriage contract with him. During this period, you should be cautious in your words and deeds."
Gu Ning nodded quickly, but before Pei Anlin breathed a sigh of relief, she heard her next question.
"Uncle, where did the guard Xie go?"
Pei Anlin's face was livid, but with Gu Ning's clear eyes, the scolding words came to his lips, and he couldn't say anything no matter what.
After a while, he said in a bad mood: "I'm going to Jiangning to investigate the salt tax for the emperor. Since Xie Yan is the bodyguard of Pei's residence, he will go to Jiangning first with the others to eliminate the risk for me."
Gu Ning heard the words, but thought of the plot in the book.
In this dynasty, there was Yan State in the north, and the Xiongnu in the west.
Jiangnan was originally a gathering place for aristocratic families. They took advantage of the time when the imperial court was focused on guarding against foreign enemies, and wantonly amassed money in Jiangnan. The salt tax paid in Jiangnan was not as good as every year. That's why the emperor sent Pei Anlin to investigate the salt tax in Jiangnan.
However, in the book, Pei Anlin was assassinated by a local aristocratic family in Jiangning, the prefecture of the south of the Yangtze River, because of investigating the salt tax. Although he saved his life, he was disabled for life and never had a chance on the battlefield. The Pei family went into decline because of this. In addition, the Eldest Princess fought against Gu Qingqiu because of her, the Pei family was ransacked and beheaded before Xie Yan led his troops to besiege the city.
Therefore, whether it's for Xie Yan's luck or for the Pei family, she must go to the south of the Yangtze River.
And... Gu Zhiyuan's White Moonlight is in Jiangnan!
Going to Jiangnan this time, maybe she can bring someone back, and Gu Zhiyuan will be caught off guard!
Seeing that Gu Ning was thinking, he knocked on Gu Ning's head bitterly: "Did you take my words to heart? Before the engagement is broken, you must not act as boldly as yesterday!"
Gu Ning raised his head, a pair of bright peach blossom eyes were staring at him brightly.
"Uncle, I also want to go to Jiangning!"
Pei Anlin never expected that his earnest words would have this effect.
He rubbed his eyebrows and sighed for a while.
It's really a girl who doesn't want to stay!
However, Gu Ning, who didn't want to stay behind, still looked at him fixedly, and the hope in his eyes could not be ignored.
"No." Pei Anlin said firmly, "This trip to the south of the Yangtze River is full of dangers, how can I let you take risks?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, someone tugged his sleeves. Gu Ning opened his eyes full of water and said coquettishly: "Uncle, I will go to Jiangnan with you, just to cover up your real purpose of going to Jiangnan."
"As long as I'm here, no one will think that you are investigating the salt tax!"
Gu Ning had plausible words and gave himself a very good reason.
However, Pei Anlin remained unmoved, and his attitude remained firm: "You just stay in the capital, and when I come back from Jiangnan, I will definitely dissolve the engagement for you."
"Uncle, just promise me!"
Gu Ning tugged on his sleeve, refusing to let go.
Pei Anlin said helplessly: "Ning'er, you..."
"Let her go."
While the two were talking, a majestic female voice sounded.
With the support of the maid, the Eldest Princess was slowly walking towards the two of them.
Gu Ning felt guilty for a moment, then calmly stabilized the expression on his face.
Pei Anlin frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Mother, Ning'er doesn't know the danger, so why don't you let her mess around?"
The Eldest Princess waved her hand and glanced at Gu Ning, "Although Ning'er is a drunkard who doesn't care about drinking, what she said makes sense."
"The emperor sent you to Jiangnan, one is to use the power of the Pei family to suppress the unhealthy trend in Jiangnan, and the other...he inevitably has the intention of weakening the Pei family."
"If you go to the south of the Yangtze River alone, it will only make the local aristocratic family prepare early. Even if you have evidence that they are selling illegal salt, so what? A strong dragon can't beat a snake. If something happens to you, what will the Pei family do?"
Gu Ning smiled flatteringly at the Eldest Princess, and tried her best to agree: "Grandmother is right! If I went to Jiangnan to play as a cover, those aristocratic families would definitely not take me seriously. In this way, uncle, you investigate the salt tax It’s a lot easier to do.”
Pei Anlin remained silent, but his slightly relaxed expression reflected his state of mind at the moment.
Just when Gu Ning was secretly rejoicing, she heard the Eldest Princess slowly say: "At that time, you will lead the army with me on the grounds that Ning'er and I will go to Jiangnan for fun."
"Are you going too?"
Gu Ning and Pei Anlin spoke together.
The eldest princess was still indifferent: "Of course, just you traveling is not enough for your uncle to lead troops to protect."
"But this trip is dangerous..." Pei Anlin, who was always decisive, was undecided for the first time.
Gu Ning was very optimistic: "Grandmother's traveling team is very large, enough for uncle to stuff a lot of people in."
"That's right." The Eldest Princess nodded slightly, then glanced at Gu Ning again, pointing out, "Besides, with me watching Ning'er, you can rest assured to investigate the salt tax."
Gu Ning's back shivered, and when he met the eldest princess's eyes that seemed to know everything, he responded decisively: "You are right!"
In the end, Pei Anlin was convinced.
Before he left, he looked solemn: "Leave your son for a few days, and after everything is ready, I will escort you and Ning'er to travel."
Gu Ning was secretly delighted, in this way, she could stay by Xie Yan's side to gain luck!
Before she could think about it, the flesh on her cheek was gently pinched by the Eldest Princess.
"Ning'er, go to Jiangnan, everything is up to my arrangement, otherwise..."
As the eldest princess's threatening words sounded in her ears, Gu Ning smiled coyly, and looked at her cautiously: "Grandmother, can you... let Xie Yan accompany me to protect me?"
The eldest princess was speechless for a while, and finally she let go of her hand helplessly, leaving only one sentence: "As for feelings, even I can't force others to do what they want."
Gu Ning smiled like a fishy cat, and his peach blossom eyes smiled like two crescent moons.
She responded crisply: "Don't worry, I will definitely let Xie Yan stay by my side voluntarily!"
The haze of lack of luck completely dissipated in Gu Ning's heart.
When she arrived in the south of the Yangtze River, Xie Yan personally protected her, so worried about not having the chance to contact her?
Gu Ning and the system smiled at the same time, and walked briskly out of the yard.
But the next moment, a person rushed towards her.
Gu Ning quickly hid to the right, but the man jumped into the air and hit the cobbled ground with his head.
"hiss……"
Gu Ning gasped, how painful it was.
When the person came raised the bloody face, Gu Ning vaguely recognized his identity from these eyes.
"Sun Gongzi, why are you bothering?"
Sun Yu dared not speak out, but with a bruised nose and swollen face, he said in a low voice, "Master, I'm really desperate!"
"You don't know, even with the guards of Pei's mansion, those people almost took my life! When I opened my eyes today, the sword was three inches from my chest!"
"I almost lost sight of you!"
When Sun Yu said this, he climbed up to Gu Ning again.
The successive assassinations made him sleepless at night, and even in his sleep he was restless. At this time, his eyes were black and blue, and it was obvious that he had suffered great mental torture.
Gu Ning smiled, squatted down and looked at him: "What? You came today because you want me to send more people to protect you?"
"No, no, no!" Sun Yu knelt on the ground hastily, and said loudly, "I just want the magistrate to show me a clear path! I don't want to live in such fear again!"
Gu Ning raised the corners of his lips, and said slowly: "I have a good idea, it depends on whether you dare to do it."
The maids came in one file at a time, washing and dressing Gu Ning in an orderly manner.
Gu Ning half closed her peach blossom eyes, and Sui Chunyu tossed about her makeup.
Until then, she felt a sense of old age.
The system spoke at the right time: "Look! Look!
