The old man sat up from the bed as he spoke.

As if he couldn't feel the pain in his body, he reached out and grabbed the hawthorn cake that Gu Nanqiao placed on the edge of the bed, opened his mouth and took a big bite.

"Well, that's the smell."

"Except Xinghonglou, you really can't buy this flavor anywhere else. It's a pity that these pastries are sold at a sky-high price in Xinghonglou. Old man, I don't even have enough money to buy it several times."

"If you like to eat, you can come to my place to eat at any time in the future. I can provide you with as much as you like." Gu Nanqiao smiled and handed over a cup of tea.

The old man ate the pastries.

Then he looked at her suspiciously and said, "You make me a little scared. It makes me feel like you are up to something. I just told the truth about your old servant. If you don't believe me, you can go check it out. But can you tell me otherwise?" Let that white face penetrate my bones again? It really hurts."

"it is good."

The old man didn't expect Gu Nanqiao to agree so readily.

But then, he heard Gu Nanqiao say again: "I have a business here. I wonder if Mr. Qu will take it? The price is negotiable. You can eat the pastries from Xinghonglou as long as you like."

"How did you know that my name is Mr. Qu?"

The old man was really startled now.

Mr. Qu was not really unconscious in the secret cell before, so he heard the conversation between Mo Shiyi and Gu Nanqiao and knew that they were talking about his 'identity'.

But there are definitely very few people who know that he calls him Qu Lao!

Facing Mr. Qu's suspicious look, Gu Nanqiao did not answer him, but said with a smile: "1 taels, if Mr. Qu agrees to take over this business, it will start at 1 taels. It is up to you, Mr. Qu, to decide whether to take it or not. It doesn’t matter if you don’t answer, Mr. Qu can leave at any time.”

"However, if Mr. Qu takes over this business, I have an additional condition."

1 million taels?

This really moved his heart.

"What conditions?" He finally straightened his expression.

"Tell me about Aunt Hong. No matter how much money the people behind the scenes give you, I can pay you ten times the price."

"This is not a matter of price. I really don't know about your servants..."

"She died, just yesterday, right in front of my eyes. She was poisoned and died. She was in great pain before her death, but I tried my best to save her."

"Dead?" Mr. Qu seemed surprised.

Gu Nanqiao's eyes deepened.

This old man is indeed hiding something...

"So please tell me the truth. I have to find the person behind the scenes because I still have two children."

Qu Lao frowned.

After a while, he seemed to make up his mind and said hesitantly;

"I don't know exactly who it was, but I did pay attention at the time and noticed that the man had six left hands, and there seemed to be a black totem on his wrist, but the totem was incomplete, and I could only see me The totem that arrived will be copied to you."

Soon.

Mr. Qu drew one-third of the picture.

"Don't forget the money."

"When you finish it for me in the future, I will pay it to you as well."

……

After Xia Yunyun returned to the palace, she immediately ran to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and cried and begged.

Emperor Yong was so annoyed that he finally agreed to let her stay in Jiuwang Mansion for a few days.

Xia Yunyun then left happily.

Emperor Yong rubbed his furious temples, his gentle and majestic face was rather cold; "Xiao Haizi, you just said that she went to Prince Yong's Mansion on the way, right?"

Eunuch Hai came back first.

He had long reported what happened in the Nine Princes' Mansion to Emperor Yong.
