Gu Changxuan left Beijing for business a while ago, and Feng Li went with him.

The master and servant just came back today.

Naturally, Feng Li was not so powerful that he could know what had happened in Huangqin Street as soon as he came back, so he glanced at the servant waiting beside him.

"what happened?"

Gu Changxuan had already stepped in.

Feng Li and the servant followed behind.

Unlike Feng Li, who walked more easily, the servant was short in stature. He trotted after the two men, looking back at Chang Xuan breathlessly, "To answer your question, Your Highness, Princess Changle moved here a while ago. I heard that the Princess's Mansion is holding a banquet today, so these people should be going to the Princess's Mansion."

"Ming Qi?"

Gu Changxuan suddenly stopped and asked with a frown, "Why did she move here suddenly?"

"This……"

The servant hesitated and said, "I don't know exactly why they moved here, but people are saying all kinds of things."

Gu Changxuan had completely stopped and turned to ask the servant: "What's going on?"

The servant was about to answer.

Suddenly a voice came from the front: "Your Highness!"

——It was Gu Changxuan’s confidant Tong Ke.

Tong Ke had just heard from the servants that the prince had returned, so he hurried over. Now he saw the prince standing in the yard, so he took a few quick steps and came over to pay his respects to Gu Changxuan.

Gu Changxuan simply asked him directly: "What happened to the Ming family?"

Tong Ke was shocked.

He didn't expect that His Highness already knew about it.

He did not dare to hide it, and after he stood up, he hurriedly reported to the others: "Some time ago, something happened in the Ming family..."

It’s a long story.

Tong Ke said to Gu Changxuan: "You have been traveling all the way, why don't you go in and rest first, and I will explain it to you in detail."

Gu Changxuan said nothing and went inside.

Tong Ke and Feng Li hurriedly followed, while the servant wiped the sweat from his forehead, breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to the gatehouse.

Entered the house.

Before Gu Changxuan sat down, he took off his cloak and placed it on the table along with his sword.

Tong Ke was diligent and poured a cup of tea for the customer first.

Then, without waiting for Gu Changxuan to ask any more questions, he told Gu Changxuan everything that had happened in the Ming family.

After Tong Ke finished speaking.

Not only did Gu Changxuan's face darken, but even Feng Li's face didn't look good either.

He frowned and said, "This Miss Ming Liu is really..."

Feng Li said, carefully glancing at Gu Changxuan, looking at his expression, and even lowered his voice a lot: "Your Highness, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Gu Changxuan didn't say anything.

He had been suffering from headaches due to nightmares for some time, and Mingyao was still a worry.

It's okay to do stupid things.

He didn't even know how to end it properly, leaving others with something to talk about, and now it has turned into this situation!

Gu Changxuan was a little annoyed.

He certainly wouldn't rescue her.

If Mingyao doesn't have the ability, she is not qualified to be his concubine.

but--

"Since the Ming family didn't spread this matter, let's not worry about it for now. I still have some use for her."

Feng Li and Tong Ke knew what he meant by useful. His Majesty had often summoned Master Yunshang to the palace recently.

And this Miss Mingliu has a close relationship with this Master Yunshang.

Gu Changxuan ignored Mingyao's little matter and asked Tong Ke about something else: "Is there any news from the East Palace recently?"

Tong Ke saw that he was asking about serious matters, so he quickly replied in a serious tone: "Master Li hasn't sent any news recently."

Gu Changxuan said calmly: "Uncle Wang's unintentional action that day severely injured the eldest brother and the third brother one after another, which made these two people become much more well-behaved now. This is not good."

As he said the last three words, Gu Changxuan tapped the table with his long fingers.

Tong Ke and Feng Li looked at each other and asked Gu Changxuan: "What are you going to do?"

Gu Changxuan: "It's calm now, it's time to stir up some trouble, otherwise I don't know how long it will take."

"I remember the Ministry of Industry belongs to Third Brother."

"The autumn rains are continuous, and some houses have not been repaired for years, so they may collapse at any time."

Tong Ke and Feng Li's hearts suddenly tightened. They both understood their master's plan, but they didn't dare to refute anything.

There were already many bones on this road.

Either someone else dies or they die.

Being soft-hearted will only lead them into an irretrievable situation.

After Feng Li calmed down, he didn't think about it anymore. He lowered his head and said to Gu Changxuan, "It just so happened that one of our people went to the Ministry of Construction and Cleaning Officials last year. When do you plan to take action?"

"When is the Qianqiu Banquet?"

Gu Changxuan thought of something and asked.

Tong Ke stayed in the mansion all day and knew these things better. He replied, "It will be at the beginning of next month." He also mentioned another matter, "Your Majesty and the Queen plan to choose a princess for the prince at the Qianqiu Banquet."

Gu Changxuan hummed softly: "Then let's set it after the Qianqiu Banquet."

He had been traveling all the way and was tired.

After hearing the two people's response, he prepared to go in and rest. After standing up, he suddenly asked, "Who went to the Princess's Mansion today?"

Tong Ke didn't expect his master to bring up the past again. He was stunned for a moment before replying, "In addition to the young ladies and young masters of the Ming family, there were also the princess's cousins, the young lady of the Xu family, the prince, and the second son of the Yuan family."

"Yuan Yu went there too?" Gu Changxuan raised his eyebrows.

Tong Ke reported: "That Miss Xu is the fiancée of Mr. Yuan Er."

After hearing what he said, Gu Changxuan had nothing else to say.

"understood."

Tong Ke hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, are you going to send someone to deliver something? I see that the prince values ​​this Princess Changle very much."

He was thinking of finding a way to make friends with Princess Changle. Even if he couldn't make friends with her, he would rather not make enemies with her.

If this had happened in the past, with Gu Changxuan's personality, Tong Ke wouldn't have needed to say much, he would have just ordered people to do it.

But now——

Thinking of his several contacts with Ming Jin and her reactions and behavior, Gu Changxuan felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

It's not just dissatisfaction with Mingjin.

There is another feeling that he himself cannot explain.

He didn't know how to describe it.

He was just dissatisfied with Mingjin's attitude towards him and the way she looked at him.

But Gu Changxuan himself didn't understand why he cared so much about Mingjin's attitude towards him.

It was as if she had to be respectful and submissive to him like everyone else, or even better, care for him like Mingyao, before he would be satisfied.

But what if it was someone else?

Gu Changxuan thought carefully. If someone else was so presumptuous, he would just keep it in mind and deal with them together in the future. Instead of being like now, whenever he thought of Ming Jin, he felt uncomfortable as if he were being pricked all over.

"Need not."

He refused coldly.

Tong Ke and Feng Li didn't understand why His Highness's expression suddenly became so ugly.

Neither of them dared to speak.

He was silent as a cicada and watched Gu Changxuan go in.

Wait until he leaves.

Tong Ke finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After exchanging a glance with Feng Li, the two of them went out together.

"I noticed that His Highness looked so unhappy when he came back this time. Didn't he get things done?" Tong Ke asked Feng Li in a low voice.

Feng Li said: "How is that possible?"

Tong Ke thought about it and felt that it was impossible. He asked curiously: "Then why did His Highness ..."

Feng Li whispered back, "Your Highness has not been sleeping well at night recently. He is haunted by nightmares almost every night. I think we should go to the temple to get a peace amulet for Your Highness. Don't let him be haunted by some filthy thing."

Tong Ke frowned: "Why would you be possessed by a nightmare for no reason?"

Before Feng Li could say anything, he continued, "Your Highness will definitely not be willing to go, so I will go there later."

Feng Li nodded.

The two of them said nothing more and went about their respective business.

……

At this time, Yuan Yu in Chang'an Palace had already become impatient. Seeing Gu Mingheng still sitting calmly on the chair, he became anxious: "Gu Mingheng, are you okay? Hurry up!"

He was in a hurry to see his beloved Concubine Zhaojun.

Gu Mingheng had recovered a long time ago, but he was afraid that if he went there now, it would disturb their conversation and make them uncomfortable, so he didn't move.

I don’t know what to do.

He simply wrote to calm his mind.

After he finished writing a piece of paper and the time was almost up, he put down his brush and said, "Okay, let's go."

After he finished speaking, he picked up the gift that he had prepared long ago.

“It’s finally done!”

Yuan Yu was in a bad mood. If he hadn't wanted to borrow Gu Mingheng's name, he would have left long ago.

He also took a gift, but he asked the servants in the mansion to choose it.

Seeing that Gu Mingheng was also holding a gift, he couldn't help but ask curiously, "What did you give me this time?"

He was really curious.

The truth is that Gu Mingheng has a previous record of giving wine to a girl on her birthday. No one knows what "good" thing Gu Mingheng will give this time.

"Show me."

As he said this, he was about to go and take a look.

But how could Gu Mingheng let him take it and look at it casually? He changed his hand and held it, not letting Yuan Yu touch it.

Yuan Yu clicked his tongue: "Stingy."

But he wasn't really that curious, and seeing that Gu Mingheng refused, he just let it go.

"By the way, when I went to the palace yesterday, I heard from my aunt that she had sent invitations to the Lu family and the Zhao family. You can't escape this time." He was in high spirits now because of the good news.

Of course, I also hope that my good brother can succeed.

"I think if you settle down by then, why don't we get married together and have a good time together."

This was obviously a joke.

Gu Mingheng is a prince, how could his marriage be so casual?

Hearing this matter again, Gu Mingheng couldn't help but frown again.

But Yuan Yu didn't care about him at the moment, as he was looking forward to going to the Princess's Mansion to meet Xu Zhaojun.

The two walked out.

Wu Ji and the others were also ready. They were dressed in new clothes and stood together, waiting for Gu Mingheng and Yuan Yu to come over. The three of them followed behind them.

The group went to the Princess's Mansion.

When we arrived at the gate of the princess's mansion, servants were already waiting outside.

Aunt Pei was waiting for them outside in person.

Seeing them coming from afar, he personally came over to greet them, then said with a smile, "We are just waiting for the prince and the adults."

When Yuan Yu saw her, he complained to her about Gu Mingheng beside him: "I told him to come earlier, but he was so slow."

"Is everyone here?" he asked Aunt Pei.

Aunt Pei smiled and said, "We are all here."

Knowing that this Mr. Yuan was Miss Xu's fiancé, she smiled and added, "Miss Xu has also arrived."

When Yuan Yu heard this, his eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to walk in.

At least I held back.

Gu Mingheng put his thoughts aside at this moment. He greeted Aunt Pei and followed her inside.

Today's lunch is at Qiu Shui Tang.

There were two tables inside and one outside. Wu Ji and his friends' meals were placed in the yard, and they ate together with Shen Daqing and his friends.

Has not arrived yet.

I could already hear that it was very lively inside, with laughter and chatter that continued endlessly.

After passing through a moon gate, Gu Mingheng saw Ming Jin standing in the crowd at a glance.

She was surrounded by people and was talking and laughing with them.

Just by looking at it like this, Gu Mingheng felt that the troubles in his heart seemed to have all disappeared.

There was a gentle curve at the corner of his lips and his eyes were gentle as he looked at Ming Jin in the distance.

Ming Jin seemed to notice something and looked over.

Seeing Gu Mingheng and meeting his eyes, Ming Jin was bewitched by his gentle glass eyes. Fortunately, she came to her senses in a flash. Ming Jin calmed down, said "wait a minute" to everyone around her, and then she went out to greet him in person.

"Your Majesty."

She lowered her eyes and greeted Gu Mingheng, looking the same as before, as if nothing had changed at all.
