Surprise! The boss of the last days, reborn before the engagement

The second prince frowned upon hearing this and fell into deep thought. He knew very well that there must be some unspeakable secret behind this, and the matter of the crown prince might just be a prelude to this power struggle.

He must remain vigilant at all times and take every step carefully in order to remain invincible in this war without gunpowder.

The second prince ordered in a deep voice, "Continue to investigate this matter. Make sure to find out the truth. At the same time, strengthen the security in the palace to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos. The flower viewing banquet is coming soon, so we must be more careful and not give anyone an opportunity to take advantage of us.

Also, send someone to inform Chu Yiyi, Gu Xinyan, and the daughter of the Minister of Revenue to have them prepare in advance. I want to see their best side at the flower viewing banquet."

The secret guard took the order and left, and the hall returned to peace again. The second prince looked at the sunlight pouring in from the window, but his heart was in turmoil.

I thought: "I am getting closer and closer to that supreme position. But at the same time, I also know that this road is full of thorns and traps. If I am not careful, I will be doomed.

Therefore, I must always keep a clear head and face all challenges with wisdom and courage.

In order to sit on that position, even if the woman he marries is not his favorite, what does it matter? As long as he can finally ascend to the coveted throne, how many women will he want? "

On the carriage leaving the city, Xia Ju looked at her young lady and said, "Young lady, we are about to leave the imperial city. Do you have anything else to buy? After we go to the Huguo Temple, it will not be as convenient to buy things as it is now."

Chu Yiyi smiled and shook her head, "Xia Ju, you will know in the future."

Chu Yiyi closed her eyes and stopped talking. Seeing this, Xia Ju also closed her eyes and leaned against the carriage and slowly fell asleep.

Time passed quickly, and one month later. In the study of General Gu's mansion, the morning light shone through the window lattice, sprinkling on the rice paper on the desk, forming a sharp contrast with Gu Chenming's furrowed brows.

Although the spring breeze of March has blown across the capital, it seems unable to dispel the haze in his heart. The disappearance of his fourth daughter, Gu Tiantian, is like an invisible wall, standing between him and a peaceful life.

Gu Chenming finally broke the silence in the study, with a barely perceptible hint of fatigue and helplessness in his voice.

"Secret Guard, there is still no trace of the Fourth Young Lady? It's been a month... Did she really go to the Crown Prince's Mansion?"

Upon hearing this, the secret guard moved slightly, walked out of the shadow of the study, knelt in front of Gu Chenming, and answered respectfully: "In reply to the general, we have repeatedly asked the prince's mansion many times, and there is indeed no trace of the fourth young lady. This..."

He hesitated to speak, as if he had something difficult to say.

Gu Chenming looked up at the secret guard, his eyes revealing a gentle yet unquestionable power.

"If you have anything to say, just say it directly... This general will forgive you. No matter what you say, I will not blame you."

He knew very well that at this critical moment, any clue was crucial, and even the smallest detail could become the key to finding his fourth daughter.

The secret guard took a deep breath, as if he had mustered up his courage, and continued, "People outside say that the fourth young lady eloped with the servant in the mansion...

On the night when the fourth young lady disappeared, a handsome servant in the mansion did disappear. Could it be that…"

"Impossible!" Gu Chenming slammed the table, interrupting the secret guard's words.

His face instantly turned livid, his eyes flashing with anger, "These rumors are simply ridiculous! How could my daughter, Gu Chenming, do such a ridiculous thing?

What's more, these rumors also fabricated the absurd plot that I caught Xiao Shi and Tian Tian in bed. This is simply an insult to me and my daughter Tian Tian!"
