The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 289 Jin Lehuang’s identity confirmed?

"Your Highness, don't worry. Last night, I set up a trap to capture all of Jin Lehuang's men, over 200 in total. The seven people executed at noon today were their leaders!"

"The remaining two hundred or so people all died last night!"

More than 200 people died?

The prince muttered a few words, then raised his head and looked at Gu Jingzhi: "Where is Jin Lehuang? Is there any clue about her?"

"Oh?"

Gu Jingzhi said with a half-smile, "Your Highness, please forgive me for being so nosy. Your Highness is a kind person, and everyone in the capital knows that. I am very curious, if Jin Lehuang is captured... how will you deal with her?"

The prince frowned when he heard this: "Lord Gu, what do you mean by this?"

"Your Highness, it's not that I'm suspicious! It's that you and her are as close as siblings, and she was raised by the late queen. If..."

"Humph!"

The prince snorted coldly, "Marquis Gu's words are indeed true, but she plotted a rebellion and instigated the imperial guards to cause trouble. Our Great Xia State was almost destroyed by her!"

"My father bestowed upon her the title of Princess, treating her like his own daughter, with the same status as a princess... The Yun Nation's former allegiance is clear, yet she is attempting to overthrow the Great Xia Empire. This will absolutely not be tolerated!"

"If she is captured, whether she is killed on the spot or escorted back to the capital is entirely up to Marquis Gu's will!"

"it is good!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded and said, "Since Your Highness has said so, I am relieved. Your Highness, please do not blame me. I just don't want to leave any grudges in your heart because of this matter."

"Humph! Do you think Marquis Gu will agree if I say I'll spare her life?"

"will not!"

Gu Jingzhi shook his head: "It's true that she has a secret, but after thinking about it... I'm afraid it's just a small thing. I don't plan to ask. As long as I confirm her identity, I will bring the internal security together to capture her!"

"After this matter is settled, Your Highness will probably not be able to stay in Ningzhou for long. In the future..."

"Jingzhi..."

The prince suddenly said something, and he looked very hesitant.

Gu Jingzhi was slightly startled when he heard the long-unseen address, but then he returned to normal and asked, "What does Your Highness want to say?"

The prince hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "You were exiled to Ningzhou because of me. I really want to be your close friend, but I don't understand why you are so against me taking a concubine."

"..."

I still haven’t figured this out yet!

So during this time between him and Gu Jingzhi...did he feel that he treated Gu Jingzhi as a friend, but Gu Jingzhi didn't understand him?

This reason...

Gu Jingzhi raised his head and looked at the prince, and finally said: "Because she is not a good person!"

Gu Jingzhi didn't say anything about the current situation, what you should focus on... or any other preaching, because it was meaningless.

After saying this, Gu Jingzhi stood up and said, "Now that we have finished talking, it's time for me to leave!"

After saying that, Gu Jingzhi left immediately, leaving the prince standing there in a daze!

Not a good person?

What do you mean?

He originally thought that Gu Jingzhi would talk to him about the position of crown prince and the Qiao family. He was prepared, but he didn't expect that Gu Jingzhi would just say such a light sentence.

Cong is not a good person... Is there some misunderstanding between them?

The prince raised his head, but saw that Gu Jingzhi had already left. In the end, he could only sigh softly.

That’s all!

Let’s wait until things are settled!

……

When Gu Jingzhi came out of the lobby, he happened to see several children playing in the yard. Zhou Quan was teaching a girl about ten years old to read.

When they saw Gu Jingzhi, the children greeted him as they did before.

Gu Jingzhi looked at the girl and asked, "Quan'er, who is this?"

"She is Aunt Cong's younger sister!"

Before Zhou Quan could answer, Zhou Yu interrupted.

After hearing this, Gu Jingzhi's expression changed slightly, but then he smiled again. However, the little girl was not afraid of Gu Jingzhi at all and even saluted him.

Gu Jingzhi nodded silently, then looked at the children and said casually: "Enough playing for a while, don't forget the evening class!"

"Got it, sir!"

Several children answered in unison.

Gu Jingzhi smiled and nodded, then glanced at Cong's sister Cong Zhihua before leaving the prince's mansion.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, Lin Feng walked up to him.

"Cousin, how is it going?"

“It’s basically confirmed!”

Gu Jingzhi said, "Send people to secretly cordon off the streets and alleys here. Don't let anyone escape! Also, notify the Internal Guards to protect their family. Don't let anything go wrong!"

Lin Feng nodded.

Gu Jingzhi warned again: "Also, be careful of other forces ambushing here."

The most important thing is this time. Jin Lehuang's subordinates have basically been dealt with, but there must be some who have not appeared. No matter how important that batch of military pay is, as a superior, it is impossible to send everyone out.

After hearing Gu Jingzhi's instructions, Lin Feng nodded again, and then the two of them left.

……

As a concubine, even a miscarriage was not a big deal in ancient times, but who made Cong the prince's favorite concubine?

Throughout the entire day, the prince did not see anyone else except for meeting Gu Jingzhi. Even when he had his meals, he always had them in Cong's room.

When Qiao Shuwan saw this scene, she was so angry that she simply didn't eat dinner and went back to her parents' home with her children!

When he heard the servant's report, the prince frowned and was about to ask someone to call Qiao Shuwan back, but in a moment, he stopped thinking!

Forget it, let her do it!

Anyway, this scene has happened frequently in the past few months, and he has become accustomed to it.

If people in Beijing saw this scene, they would probably shake their heads and sigh, thinking that the couple who were once in love with each other had ended up in such a situation.

Is it true that the royal family is so heartless?

The Qiao family lost their power and were treated so poorly. You know, the Qiao family’s current situation was due to him!

In ancient times, exile for serious crimes would generally not affect the relatives, especially the Qiao family, which was a founding hero and had a close relationship with Emperor Xia.

The Qiao family was exiled, wasn't it a protection lock that Emperor Xia put up for the safety of the crown prince?

Upon hearing the news of Qiao Shuwan's departure, Cong had a hint of gloating in her eyes, but no one could see the trace of regret in the deepest part of her eyes!

Seeing that the prince had returned to her side, Cong pretended to be about to cry.

"My dear husband, it's all my fault. If I had been more capable, I wouldn't have lost my virginity, and my sister wouldn't be so angry. It's all my fault..."

As he said this, he squeezed out a few tears hypocritically!

As expected, the prince fell for it. He quickly said, "How can you be blamed for this? Qiao is petty after all. It's been so long, and she's still like this. Let her be. She'll come back when she's had enough!"

"But it's not good for outsiders to know!"

Cong continued to speak in a teasing tone: "It's all my fault that I didn't do well enough and made my sister unhappy! Otherwise, she wouldn't go back to her parents' home so often. If outsiders saw this, it would only make people laugh! I..."
