Rumors about Gu Siyi were circulating among the people. He himself knew about it, but he could not come forward to clarify it.

His reputation has been damaged, and now no matter what he says, people will not believe it.

Moreover, he did have such thoughts in his heart.

He sent things to both the General's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion, but they were all sent back without exception. He wanted to find an explanation to Qin Zhongwan and Chu Changying, but one complained of illness and the other recuperated, and no one had time to see him.

Even some officials were admonishing him in the court, saying that his conduct was lacking and that he was unbecoming of a royal person. They were not afraid of offending others and directly said that he was an embarrassment. Gu Siyi's face turned green with anger.

In the court, forming cliques for personal gain is a serious crime, but there are always courtiers and princes who will contact each other in private. After the incident was revealed, the courtiers who had previously been interested in cooperating with Gu Siyi suddenly became alienated from him.

It's not easy for this kind of thing to happen, so Gu Siyi can only digest those angry and irritable emotions by himself.

Two days after the incident, Liu Lanyan went to Qin Jingguo to intercede and lifted Qin Xiaoyun's grounding.

By chance, after she was able to move around freely, she received an invitation from Gu Siyi, inviting her to come to Fuhaiju.

Qin Xiaoyun learned about what happened in the past few days from Ginkgo's mouth, stared at the invitation for a while, and went to the appointment before the time came.

In Fuhaiju's private room, Gu Siyi still looked gentle and elegant.

Qin Xiaoyun saluted him: "I have met His Highness the Third Highness."

"Miss Qin, there is no need to be polite."

Gu Siyi raised his hand slightly, with a gentle smile on his face: "Please sit down."

Qin Xiaoyun could not refuse, so she could only sit down opposite him: "Thank you, Your Highness."

"I asked Miss Qin to come out today because I want to apologize for what happened in the theater before."

Gu Siyi now has no way to contact Chu Changying and Qin Zhongwan, so he can only stabilize Qin Xiaoyun first. He remembers that Qin Xiaoyun was the one who took the initiative to get close to them before.

Moreover, as far as he knew, Qin Xiaoyun escaped that day without thinking of helping Qin Zhongwan.

Strictly speaking, they are the same.

"I didn't think well that day and didn't ask someone to find out the details and take precautions. That's why those gangsters took advantage of the opportunity. The incident happened suddenly and the scene was really chaotic. I was escorted out of the theater before I came back to my senses. At that time, it was too late to go back, and there were not many guards around me, so it was better to go back to the capital to find reinforcements and frighten Miss Qin."

Gu Siyi seemed to be apologizing, but in fact he was defending himself. He had said this in front of the emperor, General Chu and Qin Jingguo, and now in front of Qin Xiaoyun, he believed everything he said.

Qin Xiaoyun couldn't tell that this was an excuse he made to restore his reputation. She felt a bit of contempt in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. She even looked like she agreed: "The situation was extremely critical at that time, and His Highness made the immediate decision to return to the capital for help. , is indeed the wisest choice.”

"Ah."

Hearing her agreement, Gu Siyi's eyes flashed with satisfaction, and he did not forget to give himself credit after the explanation: "Speaking of which, thanks to the emperor brother for leading people to the rescue in time, if he had gone too late, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been caught. Those are the bad guys.”

This compliment was given to Gu Siyuan, but actually he was saying that he had informed him of the news in a timely manner, but he didn't feel guilty at all.

Qin Xiaoyun sneered in her heart, but a look of gratitude and admiration appeared on her face: "Thanks to His Highness for promptly informing the news of Sister Wan being taken away, His Highness the Crown Prince was able to rescue her, but..."

She stopped talking here, watching Gu Siyi hesitate to speak, as if there was something unspeakable.
