Life is never a straight line.

You will face different choices at different stages.

Choosing the right direction will lead to success.

If you choose the wrong direction, the road ahead will be bumpy and you will be completely defeated.

In Cijingtang, her grandmother asked her:

"It's not a coincidence that we saw Qiu Chi being beaten. Did you plan it in advance?"

She replied firmly: "Yes."

"It's just an excuse to go to the cloth store to buy cloth. Did you make plans early in the morning?"

"Yes."

"So, you have a purpose for leaving the house this time?"

"Yes."

"Why on earth, can you tell grandma?"

"Grandma, if I say that I want to remove the emperor from the throne and install a new emperor on the throne, do you agree?"

When she said this, Mrs. Gu was shocked for a long time before she came back to her senses.

She said: "Xiao Shu, your second uncle is responsible for matters in the court. Grandma does not expect you to be proficient in all kinds of music, chess, calligraphy and painting, let alone to become the most talented woman in the capital with your talent and academic reputation. Grandma only hopes that you will be safe and have a smooth life." .”

Gu Wangshu smiled bitterly.

Who doesn't want to be a free eagle soaring in the sky without any restrictions, but she has a family and relatives, and once she has concerns, she will not be free.

Her family is not her shackles, but her motivation to move forward.

"If what happened at the palace banquet had not happened, I would have listened to my grandmother's words, but the narrow escape from death at the palace banquet made me understand that settling for the status quo is a dead end."

"And the second uncle has agreed to my participation in the struggle for power."

Mrs. Gu rubbed her eyebrows.

"Are you sure you made the right choice?"

Gu Wangshu never regretted his decision.

"I don't know if I made the right choice, but I know it wouldn't be right not to make a choice."

She talked a lot with her grandmother and told her all her plans without any secret.

Before leaving, she said: "Grandma, any family has a way out, but my Gu family does not have one. The emperor has long been jealous of my Gu family. Concubine Wen always wants to destroy my Gu family to overthrow Helian. These two people are Helian." If the person with the highest authority wants to solve the Gu family's dilemma, the only way is to change the throne."

Mrs. Gu understood. She did not stop Gu Wangshu, but unswervingly chose to believe her.

"Xiao Shu, what grandma said today still stands. No matter what choice you make, grandma will always stand by your side. Even if she can't protect you, she will never hold you back."

Gu Wangshu said goodbye to the old lady and returned to Qinxinyuan, where he was surprised to see his second uncle waiting quietly at the door.

"Second uncle? Why are you here?"

Seeing her coming back, Gu Chengfeng smiled slightly:

"Second uncle is here to tell you that those gangsters who bullied you have been thrown into prison, and the people behind them have had their homes confiscated, and all the money has been put into the national treasury."

Gu Wangshu knew that his second uncle was the most considerate in his work. Those five local gangsters came to Quanshi Restaurant every day to cause trouble, and he knew at a glance that there was someone behind them.

Today's incident was a bit big. I'm afraid it will be spread all over Taiping Street tomorrow. It can be regarded as a warning to the monkeys. Whoever bullies Yu Quan again in the future will have to think carefully.

"Has the news been passed on to Zhao Bingcheng?"

"Well, it's been passed on."

"Then can you tell your second uncle why you want to help Yu Quan? It can't be just because Yu Quan is Qiu Chi's brother's friend, right?"

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from your second uncle's eyes. Does your second uncle still remember the takeaway I mentioned before?"

Of course Gu Chengfeng remembered this incident. The reason Xiao Shu proposed the takeout was to introduce the plan of "building the plank road in the open and concealing the warehouse in the dark".

He listened extremely carefully at that time, and naturally understood what the takeaway was about.

Gu Chengfeng thought for a while.

"If you want to deliver food, you need to know the personal information of the guests. The diners may be all over Yong'an City. As long as we have their information, we can make them our informants without spending manpower and material resources, and win honor for His Highness the Crown Prince." Lian Jiangshan has laid an unknown hidden thread..."

Gu Chengfeng's jaw was almost shocked by his analysis.

From the strategies Xiao Shu has displayed in the past few days, it can be seen that her vision is far-reaching and beyond the reach of others.

If Xiao Shu hadn't given her repeated hints, even he wouldn't have been able to figure out her true thoughts and purposes.

If you can hide it from him, it's no problem to hide it from Seisaku.

Gu Chengfeng's guess was correct. Xizuo didn't notice anything unusual in today's actions.

Xiao Zuo, who followed Qiu Chi, quietly passed the news to Concubine Wen.

Concubine Wen found it strange that Gu Wangshu's maid left the house just to buy clothes for her brother?She had her doubts.

But the details she sent out had already been investigated. Brother Qiuchi was about to pay the betrothal gift, so he asked his sister, who was a maid in the general's mansion, to pick out clothes for him. There was no dispute about this.

As for Qiuchi being beaten at Yuquan Restaurant, there seems to be no doubt about it.

Wandering from the east side of Taiping Street to the west side of Taiping Street, this stretch is not too close. You must be hungry after walking for so long. In addition, Yu Quan is a good friend of Qiuchi's brother. When Yu Quan eats at the restaurant and takes care of his friend's business, it's also a good idea. There is no controversy.

As for those gangsters, she had checked their details and found that they were not arranged, but real gangsters who had been causing trouble in Quan Food Restaurant for several days.

The most suspicious thing is that there are too many coincidences.

Qiu Chi was beaten, and coincidentally Gu Wangshu arrived in time.

Gu Wangshu was bullied, and coincidentally Gu Chengfeng arrived in time.

Concubine Wen, like He Lianhuan, never believed in coincidences. If coincidences happened too often, they would not be coincidences, but deliberate designs.

If it was really designed, what was Gu Wangshu's purpose?She couldn't figure this out.

Concubine Wen did not take it lightly and asked Xizuo to continue to monitor General Gu's mansion.

In addition, special agents were sent to monitor He Lianhuan's actions. The remaining agents were placed beside Helian Jue, and they followed Helian Jue out of Yong'an City and ran into the mountains to hunt.

Another spy who monitored Gu Wangshu and Mrs. Gu also passed the news to He Lianhuan.

After hearing this, He Lianhuan ordered him to continue monitoring.

He used to touch his folding fan, and upon touching it, he realized that he had given the folding fan to Gu Wangshu.

Gu Wangshu?

Cloth line?

At Quan Restaurant?

What is the connection between the three?

The coincidence that Concubine Wen suspected was naturally discovered by He Lianhuan's intelligence.

However, he discovered two more suspicious places than Concubine Wen.

The first place: Why did Yong'an City's cloth shop suddenly suspend operations?

Yong'an City is the most economically developed capital city in Helian Kingdom. There should be no city with higher prices than Yong'an. Businessmen who have established a foothold in Yong'an will never close their stores for no reason and move to other towns.

The second point: He has investigated Yu Quan. He has been keeping a low profile since he was released from prison. No matter how much trouble the gangsters made, he never showed up. But today, uncharacteristically, he got into a fight with the gangsters.

Let's say that he was trying to protect Qiu Chi, but Gu Wangshu arrived in time, just in time for Gu Chengfeng to go to court, as if he had arranged it in advance.

He sent someone to inquire why the cloth shop was closing, and the information he received was unclear. It seemed that Helian North was in urgent need of cloth.

The words "Helian North" were too sensitive, and he couldn't help but think of the [-] soldiers on the northern border.

He Lianhuan's eyes immediately narrowed.

Is it...

Impossible, you can’t make winter clothes even if you have cloth but no cotton.

However, he still had hope in his heart. Businessmen traveled all over the country. Maybe they could really get something with the same thermal insulation effect as cotton?

Once this idea came up, I couldn't suppress it no matter what.

"Zifeng."

As soon as he finished speaking, a masked man in black appeared silently in front of He Lianhuan.

"What is the master's order?"

"The one who follows the cloth."

"I obey." Zifeng disappeared without a trace. His movements were as fast as lightning. It seemed that he had never appeared before.

He Lianhuan picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

As for Yu Quan...

It seems that someone needs to be arranged to watch.
