Chapter 294: Confusing outsiders, the prince comes to visit...
If the Third Prince and Jin Lehuang were really stirring up trouble behind the scenes, this person would definitely become a stumbling block for the Crown Prince in the future.
killed……
It doesn’t seem like anything!
This is not a difficult task for Gu Jingzhi!
However, he was curious. Jin Lehuang proposed this condition, which was completely free!
Jin Lehuang just smiled after hearing this: "If I tell you what he did, even if I don't mention it, you probably won't let him go. And my condition is actually just that you send his head to my grave!"
"Such a simple thing is nothing to you!"
"..."
This woman actually understands his character quite well!
Gu Jingzhi said: "Okay! I agree!"
"Okay! Then give me paper and pen..."
"Not urgent!"
Gu Jingzhi asked, "I'm very curious, how did you deceive everyone and pretend to be the daughter of the Cong family?"
He had seen the human skin mask before. Qu Feiyan had used it to deceive Jin Lehuang, but Qu Feiyan had been with Cong for a long time and did not notice any trace of disguise.
Jin Lehuang is not good at this at all, and it is impossible for him to have no flaws in front of a master like Qu Feiyan.
At least, the fact that Jin Lehuang didn't notice Qu Feiyan's disguise is enough to explain it.
"hehe!"
A trace of cruelty flashed across Jin Lehuang's face. "That's so easy! I'll hire a skinning expert to peel her skin off alive..."
"This is just the real skin. How can Feiyan see through it?"
"..."
Gu Jingzhi took a deep breath.
This woman is so fucking cruel!
No wonder Qu Feiyantu couldn't find any clues. If he hadn't spent so much time following her and discovered her abnormality, I'm afraid she would have been able to hide it!
How cruel it is to peel off the face of a beautiful woman!
Gu Jingzhi no longer had the heart to communicate with her, and simply said to Liu Sandao: "Give her paper and pen, and you and the Inner Guard will watch over her and then send her off for the last time!"
……
The prince was in a coma for three days. He looked so emaciated that he almost looked like a ghost.
Everyone in the Qiao family had a tacit understanding and did not tell the prince about his illness. After all, if he knew that he only had ten years to live, he would probably give up on himself again!
It’s not that Qiao Shuwan and the Qiao family are irresponsible, but the prince’s eldest son is ten years old after all. Even if the prince really can’t live that long, his son is already an adult and can succeed to the throne.
By then, people won’t think that he is a young ruler.
It has to be said that at this moment, the Qiao family and Qiao Shuwan were thinking very far ahead.
After the prince woke up, Qiao Shuwan immediately relayed Gu Jingzhi's words to him. The prince felt embarrassed after hearing them.
But thinking that there were a lot of people outside waiting to see his news, he made up his mind!
"Have someone prepare gifts and visit Lord Gu as a token of gratitude!"
The visit may be fake, the gratitude may be real, but the most important thing is to show outsiders that his injury is not serious!
Qiao Shuwan looked at the prince's pale face and asked, "Can you hold on? Chinese New Year is just two days away. If we come in a few days, no one will be suspicious!"
"No, now!"
The prince insisted: "Not only must we visit, but we must also walk..."
"Walking? Are you crazy?"
Qiao Shuwan said, "The doctor has instructed that you absolutely cannot leave your bed for the next few days. Even if it's just for show, wouldn't it be better for you to take a carriage or sedan chair?"
"The government office is only a few steps away from us. Instead of going through all the trouble of preparing a carriage, why not just walk there?"
The prince said calmly, "Anyway, whether we ride in a carriage or walk, suffering is inevitable. Since we have to suffer, let's break their wish once and for all!"
"This...then I'll have someone prepare it!"
Although Qiao Shuwan hesitated, she didn't object in the end!
Just like that, after a lot of trouble, the prince came out of the door, and Qiao Shuwan asked, "Is it really okay?"
"No, it's okay..."
The prince forced a smile, but sweat began to seep out from his hairline. Qiao Shuwan frowned and said, "How about we wait two days?"
Although the injury won’t be healed in two days, after two days of recuperation, the body won’t be so weak!
"I'm so angry! If I lie down again, all this suffering will be in vain!"
The prince forced a smile.
Although he was not a prince of the imperial family, he was the founding prince after all, so he could see some things clearly.
If you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight.
If he can't even bear this little bit of suffering, how can he rule the world in the future?
……
Gu Jingzhi naturally learned in advance that the prince was coming to visit. In order to play the role well for the prince, he specially greeted him at the door.
He wasn't afraid of others noticing anything by doing this. After all, Jin Lehuang had confessed everything, and the restoration of the crown prince would be announced soon. As someone who knew the inside story, Gu Jingzhi personally went to greet him... Outsiders would at most think that he was trying to please them on purpose!
Along the way, the prince acted unusually calm, showing no sign of injury at all, and even chatted and laughed with Qiao Shuwan.
When he arrived at the government office, he saw Gu Jingzhi greeting him at the door and bowed deeply.
Gu Jingzhi hurried forward and supported him: "Your Highness, what are you doing?"
A flash of pain flashed across the prince's eyes, and his forehead was now covered with fine beads of sweat. He looked at Gu Jingzhi and smiled with difficulty: "This bow is to thank Xiling Hou for saving my life!"
"Your Highness, this is not the place to talk. Let's go into the mansion first!"
Gu Jingzhi smelled a faint scent of blood from him and knew that his wound must have reopened after walking all the way. Fortunately, this was at the gate of the government office, so no one dared to approach openly.
I didn't find anything unusual.
After welcoming the prince into the mansion, the two of them walked a short distance until they were out of sight of anyone outside the gate...
"Your Highness..."
Gu Jingzhi stepped forward to support the prince. The prince seemed to be hollowed out and almost leaned on Gu Jingzhi.
"Go get the doctor!"
Gu Jingzhi gave an order.
The old doctor who treated the prince's injury before has been staying at Gu Jingzhi's residence these days just to prepare for today.
He helped the prince to a hall. The prince was already out of breath, but even so, he still put on an ugly smile.
"Jingzhi, I was sorry to you, Wan'er, and the Qiao family before. I..."
"Your Highness, now is not the time to talk about this!"
Gu Jingzhi simply said this lightly, then added seriously, "Your Highness's actions today are indeed too risky. I asked Madam to leave a message for Your Highness, simply asking Your Highness to show his face in front of everyone when appropriate. But why did Your Highness go to such great lengths?"
"Ah!"
The prince smiled and said, "Wouldn't this help dispel some people's doubts? I think after this, they won't have anything to worry about anymore, right?"
"..."
Gu Jingzhi had just opened his mouth when he saw the old doctor had already arrived. He could only say, "We'll talk about the rest later. Your Highness, it's most important to treat your injuries first!"
