Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

Gu Yue instinctively felt that this was not a good thing.

"Are you sure this tastes the same as the braised food at Beijing's Golden Duck House?" Gu Yue asked.

He Gui said: "Although I'm not sure, there seems to be a rare spice in it. The smell is very special, I don't think I would be wrong."

Gu Xu looked inquiringly.

Gu Yue sat and pondered for a while. It was no wonder that he was sensitive. After all, the assassination incident left a deep impression on him. Gu Yue sometimes had nightmares at night and was very alert to everything around him.

Very tired, too tired.

But how could he not be extremely alert when faced with a situation where one careless move could cost him his life?

Braised food...the taste is similar to that of the time-honored Beijing brands, or even exactly the same.

This matter could be very serious if it goes wrong. Being able to open a store in Beijing and become a time-honored brand, Gu Yue firmly believed that there was some power behind them. What if this was a trap set against him?

Hele was so nice to them just for the fried chicken, and Gu Yue always had some doubts about him. But his sincerity was obvious to the naked eye, and he didn't look like a cunning person...

After a while, he raised his head and said, "Go find Hele."

……

The servant at the gate of the mansion was a little surprised to see Gu Yue and Gu Xu coming in hurriedly, but he still respectfully welcomed them into the mansion.

As soon as they entered the mansion, they saw servants everywhere, busy and bustling, seemingly packing something. The scene was quite large, and only the gatekeeper's servant in the entire mansion had the time to take them to see Hele.

"What are you doing?" Gu Yue asked.

"Our master is going back to the capital." replied the doorman.

"Oh? So you are from Beijing and are doing business in Luoyang?" Gu Yue asked.

Could it be that Hele is the owner of Jinyafang?

The doorman replied, "I don't know about this little guy. I was bought into the mansion after our master arrived in town."

"Oh? What about you guys if he goes back to the capital? Will you follow him?" Gu Yue asked this out of pure curiosity.

"My master has asked us. I have a small family and want to go to the capital with my master to see the world, so we have to go together." The doorman smiled and looked very eager. "I have never left the town in my life!"

"That's great." Gu Yue nodded. Yes, it's a great opportunity to develop in the capital. If the conditions are right, he will go.

When they arrived at the main courtyard where they met guests, they were stopped in the yard.

The person who stopped them was a man who looked like a butler. He was not the old man they saw in the house that day, but younger.

This person didn't have any disdainful expression, but was a little embarrassed: "Boss Gu, our master has an important guest... Please go to the side room and sit for a while."

Of course Gu Yue had no objection.

Just as he was about to walk to the side room, he heard a voice coming from the main hall: "I have no interest in these things, you don't have to say anything more. Get out!" It was a gentle voice, and it seemed to be suppressing anger.

"In that case, I won't waste any more words. You can take care of yourself." The voice was a little shrill and didn't sound very happy.

The bamboo curtain in the main hall was opened, and a man in crimson casual clothes walked out, followed by two young-looking followers. This man had a fair complexion and was really handsome. A closer look at his casual clothes revealed that they were woven with gold and silver threads, which was extremely luxurious.

The three of them were walking towards Gu Yue. Gu Xu quietly hid behind Gu Yue so that the three of them could not see him.

The man in red said nothing when he saw Gu Yue, but just raised his chin. Gu Yue subconsciously stepped aside to make way for them, and the three men walked past without even giving him a glance.

This feeling...

Gu Yue stared at the figure in red in a trance.

"Boss Gu? Why are you here?" A harmonious voice came from behind.

He Le came out of the main hall and was very happy to see Gu Yue. However, he couldn't hide the tiredness between his brows, and he even seemed to have lost weight.

The face lost the round curves of its cheeks, appearing a little more handsome, and the more Gu Yue looked at it, the more familiar it looked.

"I have something to tell you." Gu Yue said with a smile.

"Oh, please come in." He Le welcomed them into the main hall.

There was a faint fragrance in the hall, and lights were on in the four corners. The daylight came in from the paper windows, making it very bright. The servant brought stools for Gu Yue and the other two, and He Le sat in the main seat, smiling.

"I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to tell you. I will be going back to Luoyang in a few days."

"I had originally guessed that you were from a branch of a large family, but I didn't expect you to be from Luoyang." Gu Yue asked casually, "Who was that person just now?"

"Haha, those are my family members, urging me to leave quickly." Hele smiled.

"It seems your family is not simple?" Gu Yue also laughed, "There are even eunuchs."

Gu Xu looked at Gu Yue with surprise.

The harmonious smile disappeared in an instant.

Gu Yue looked at him and thought to himself that he had guessed right.

It's not his fault that he's so sharp. It's just that the man's features are too obvious. His chin is white, without the blue color from daily shaving, his face is delicate, and his voice is that kind. And in this world, what kind of man wears red? It's too coquettish.

He Le’s identity is not simple. Is he some prince in the palace?

Harmony...

Qin...

Qin Zhao, and?

Qin Zhaole?

Gu Yue felt that this trip was a bit reckless. However, he realized it only after he arrived at the yard, and there was nothing he could do.

It seemed wrong to reveal his identity on the spot.

On the second day after the deal with Hele was made, Gu Yue had secretly inquired about Hele's information. This person had been in Liuli Town for about two years and had not made any special moves. Although he might have come for Gu Xu and Gu Dashi, two years was enough time to find out Gu Dashi's character clearly. There was no need to wait until the fried chicken business opened before pretending to meet him by chance.

It would be faster to directly use the identity of the prince to put pressure or bribe him. Oh, or just kill Gu Dashi and take Gu Xu away, and Gu Xu will naturally regard him as a savior.

In the original story, the second prince Qin Zhaole didn't have much of a role. He was just a prince hated by the emperor and had no chance of winning the throne. It wasn't until the finale when Qin Zhaoyue became emperor that he was given the position of a prince.

Therefore, Gu Yue decided to say something ambiguous to test the waters.

If Qin Zhaole vehemently denies it, then there might be something wrong with the whole thing. If he admits it lightly... let's see what he says.

Gu Yue was not afraid that he would silence him because Shi San was there.

Hele——The Second Prince Qin Zhaole was silent for a while, and the fatigue on his face could no longer be concealed: "It turns out that Boss Gu also saw through my identity... When?"

Gu Yue felt a little relieved. This was the reaction he wanted to see the most. "I just figured it out. I remember the second prince's name seemed to be Zhaole? Take the characters "禾" and "口" from it and add the character "乐"..."

After that, he stood up and bowed to Qin Zhaole, "I, Gu Dashi, pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Second Prince."
