She just needed to confirm whether Chen Qingshan was still alive. This was something she couldn't wait for, and every minute and second of waiting was a torment.

As for what Chen Qingshan plans to do next if he is still alive, or whether he is willing to return to Ruichao, these are not things that Gu Qinghe can choose for him.

Shao Wei was never able to refuse any request from Gu Qinghe. He had even planned several routes in his mind for her to smoothly reach Yun State and then go to Huxiang from Yun State.

But in the end, reason prevailed, and he slowly shook his head at Gu Qinghe, "I always feel that this matter may not be that simple. Give me a few more days, and I will find a way to find out the identity of Hu Xiang's military advisor, but you have to stay here for the time being."

He was worried that this was a trap set by the people of Lirang and Huxiang through the hands of Princess Lirang.

Others do not know what exactly happened to General Huoqiu's death, but the people of Lirang who were framed know it better than anyone else.

The soldiers of Lirang were treated very well, and the country valued these generals and soldiers who fought in the battlefield. Moreover, General Huoqiu and Lirang had fought against each other many times in the past. Although they were enemies, almost everyone in the Lirang military camp knew the name of General Huoqiu.

When the two armies went to war, Lirang's general had expressed his admiration and appreciation for Huoqiu's general.

Therefore, Lirang was extremely disgusted with Ruichao's behavior of killing good generals.

After the death of General Huoqiu, they knew that with General Huoqiu's status, he would surely have loyal supporters in Ruichao. As long as they made the identity of Hu Xiang's military advisor more confusing, someone would definitely take the bait.

Don't underestimate the determination of an avenger. As long as they reveal a little bit of the truth about the murder of General Huoqiu, those who have already been suspicious can be turned against the Avengers after a little investigation.

And when Qin Xiang told Gu Qinghe the news about military advisor Hu Xiang, it became even more suspicious.

If she had really learned about Gu Qinghe's identity from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, then she had revealed the matter deliberately. Asking Shao Wei to help her rescue her brother in Lirang was not her main purpose, but leading Gu Qinghe to Huxiang was her real purpose.

The sudden impulse was extinguished by a basin of cold water, and Gu Qinghe's face was tense. "If this Princess Lirang's purpose is really like this, what do you think His Royal Highness will do?"

The fact that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince told her Gu Qinghe's identity showed that he trusted her.

Moreover, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was willing to risk the crime of deceiving the emperor by allowing Qin Xiang to fake her death and come to Chizhou, which had already demonstrated his affection for Qin Xiang.

This is really not a good thing.

Gu Qinghe couldn’t remember whether the Crown Prince had any close friends in his previous life, and Wei Yanzhou had never told her about this.

But regardless of whether there was such a thing or not, Qin Xiang could never enter the palace with her identity. Otherwise, if her identity was revealed one day, it would surely anger those old-fashioned ministers.

Gu Qinghe was a little annoyed. The emperor might as well have more children. After layers of selection, there would always be one who was acceptable.

Noticing her anxiety, Shao Wei comforted her, "I will find a way to inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince about this. As for how he will choose, it's up to him. Don't worry."

Gu Qinghe felt uneasy and asked in a low voice, "What if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knew Qin Xiang's intentions but still protected her?"

Shao Wei pondered, "Whether the emperors should be bound by love is not something I need to think about, but as a king, the first thing he should put is not love. Not to mention whether the ministers in the court will allow people from Lirang to enter the harem, let's just say whether the people whose sons died in the war with Lirang can accept a king who protects Princess Lirang."

Such a topic was not a sensitive one for him. Shao Wei was very frank. "Huo Shibei hated Your Majesty to the core because of General Huo's affairs. He wanted to overthrow the entire court. But even so, he still had the people in his heart. He always wanted to choose a wise ruler who could shoulder the great responsibility for the people before pulling Your Majesty down."

"I never intend to interfere with what he wants to do, nor will I try to stop him. The only thing I know from the beginning is that the reason he stands on the side of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not just because he is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

He must first be a wise ruler.

This time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked Gu Qinghe to help Qin Xiang fake her death and even sent her to Chizhou. I believe Huo Shibei should have his own considerations now.

Gu Qinghe nodded, "I hope so."

The minds of those who can endure humiliation and ultimately achieve their goals are not so easy to see through.

In Gu Qinghe's previous life, she knew very little about His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. When she passed away, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had just established himself in the court. Wei Yanzhou had praised His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of her for his courage, resourcefulness and great wisdom, but great wisdom has nothing to do with whether a person is good or bad.

In addition, it was not Qin Xiang who came to marry in the previous life, so there was no scene between the two of them.

She really couldn't see through it.

Qin Xiang's appearance made all these things become confusing.

In the end, Gu Qinghe was unable to go to Huxiang alone. At this critical juncture, she didn't want to cause any trouble to Shao Wei and distract him.

He is busy enough every day and shouldn't waste his energy on her.

As he said, if there is still no news after waiting for two more days, it will not be too late for Gu Qinghe to go then.

Ouyang Xia also sent a letter the day before yesterday. During this period of time, she took Lan Yu to many places, but there was no news about An Ning. Lan Yu was dejected for several days, and he probably knew that there was no hope of finding An Ning.

In addition, she and Lan Yu have encountered several assassination attempts during this period, and most of the secret guards left behind by the Prince of Yun have been killed. In order to ensure Lan Yu's safety, she plans to take Lan Yu to Chizhou first.

The two of them were moving slowly and were not as fast as Wei Yanzhou.

Gu Qinghe stayed in the room and learned a lot about Huxiang from Lu Zhiyao, listening to her talk about the various poisonous insects that this Huxiang woman could control.

Among them, the most poisonous is a poisonous scorpion. As long as the scorpion's stinger pierces the skin a little, the person will die of the poison within two hours.

The more Gu Qinghe listened, the more frightened he became.

If Hu Xiang really got involved in this war, the soldiers of Rui Dynasty would be in trouble.

Gu Qinghe was sitting in the yard thinking about something. His mind was in a mess. Just when he had sorted out some of his thoughts, he heard the servants' anxious voices outside, "Your Highness cannot go in. That is our Madam's yard!"

"Madam?" Wei Yanzhou paused, narrowed his eyes, and looked at the maid who spoke. There was only coldness in his affectionate peach blossom eyes. "She married Shao Wei?"

He did not need the servant's answer, and continued coldly: "You are called Madam before you are married. This is how Shao Wei disciplines his servants. There is no rules at all. If I had known earlier, I would have brought a nanny from the palace to teach you the rules."
