Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang were frightened when they heard that the last time they entered the palace left an indelible shadow on them.

Gu Nanzhi was very calm.

Can she refuse?

Since you can't, why not face it calmly!

"Please wait a moment, father-in-law. After I change my clothes, I will immediately enter the palace with my father-in-law." Gu Nanzhi gave Bai Lu a look, and Bai Lu immediately stepped forward and handed the chamberlain a large bag of silver.

The chamberlain quietly put it in his sleeve pocket and said with a smile: "Miss Gu, hurry up and don't keep the Crown Princess waiting."

Gu Nanzhi nodded in response.

Wen received the letter and hurried over.

Gu Wenhe was so seriously ill, how could he recover in a short time? He had to continue pretending to be ill for at least ten days and a half, and he came here avoiding people.

Gu Nanzhi has already changed her clothes.

"What kind of trouble is this Crown Princess trying to do? Can't these people stop calming down?" Gu Wenhe's face turned livid with anger.

"Zhizhi, can you decline politely? Or, or I can go with you." Mrs. Wen held her hand worriedly.

Gu Nanzhi knew that the prince had been trying to win over Xie Ni, and with the rumors flying around in the past few days, the prince might have wanted to test her, so he asked the princess to come forward.

"Father, sister-in-law, you don't have to worry. I know it well. Besides, the Crown Princess has always been warm and will not embarrass me." Gu Nanzhi pinched her sleeves. She said she was changing clothes, but in fact she was preparing these self-defense items. thing.

Accompanied by Bai Lu and Shuang Sheng, she got on the carriage heading to the East Palace.

in the dark.

Linglong has returned to Gu Nanzhi, and now the entire Yueying Guard is under her control. She has already asked people to pass on the news, and it must be time for adults to receive the news.

Xie's family, in the study.

As Linglong guessed, Xie Ni had indeed received the news. His narrow eyes were slightly narrowed, his face was calm, and his eyes were particularly deep.

For a moment, Huo Cen couldn't figure out what he was thinking. He said tentatively, "Sir, the daughter of the Cui family just went to the East Palace in the morning, and the Crown Princess invited the girl to the East Palace in the afternoon. I'm afraid there is some connection between the two. , but you want to find a way to prevent the girl from going to the East Palace?"

He always has to find a way to make up for the deducted salary.

The afternoon sun shone in through the window, and Xie Ni was surrounded by a halo. His eyebrows were a bit lazy, and he slowly raised his eyes, "No need!"

A cold smile escaped from the corner of his mouth, "This matter seems to be directed at her, but in fact it is directed at me. The Duke of Zhen Guo ransacked his house and was imprisoned, causing such a big commotion, but the prince's side was calm. He is I can’t sit still.”

Huo Cen looked at Xie Ni in confusion. He didn't understand. He clearly had the evidence that the prince had embezzled relief funds, so why didn't he do anything?

Xie Ni still couldn't understand what he was thinking. The corners of his mouth raised, but his eyes were cold, "The prince has embezzled some money for disaster relief. Can your majesty destroy him?"

Huo Cen shook his head. The crown prince is the foundation of the country, and abolishing the crown prince will shake the foundation of the country. He understood instantly that if this matter came out, even if His Majesty disliked the prince, the reputation of the royal family was at stake, and he would have to find a way to cover it up for him.

"Wouldn't it be more interesting to jump over a wall in a hurry?" Xie Ni's eyes narrowed slightly, "Send a message to Linglong, protect her, and wait! There will be movement from the prince's side soon."

定是崔窈给太子说了些什么。

太子才起了试探的心思。

Since it was a temptation, how could he just call her to the East Palace alone?

With the chamberlain leading the way, Gu Nanzhi quickly entered the East Palace.

"My maid greets the Crown Princess." She lowered her eyebrows and saluted the Crown Princess. In her previous life, she was lucky enough to meet the Crown Princess once. Unlike the Crown Prince, the Crown Princess was well-educated and a very gentle person.

Unfortunately, her end was not very good. She died of a hemorrhage during childbirth, killing one body and two others.

She remembered clearly that Cui Yao had become the crown prince's concubine at that time. The prince doted on her in every possible way. It was inherently dangerous for a woman to give birth. She didn't know if it was an accident or man-made? !

"The Lord of Huayang County does not need to be polite. It is rude of me to invite the County Lord into the palace rashly." The Crown Princess said softly and immediately asked someone to give Gu Nanzhi a seat and serve tea.

"Thank you, Crown Princess." After Gu Nazhi thanked her, she slowly sat down. She looked at the Crown Princess calmly. She saw the Crown Princess lowered her eyes and glanced at her belly, her expression was indescribably gentle.

She was slightly startled. In her previous life, she didn't care much about outside affairs. It turned out that the Crown Princess was already pregnant, and she felt a little sad. That meant that she was not far from death!

The Crown Princess sent away several servants, leaving only two maids beside her. Then she looked up at her and said, "I heard that the county master is good at mixing incense. Is this possible?"

Gu Nanzhi's answer was accurate, "As for the princess, I can't say she is good at it. She just likes to play with these things. She is definitely not as good as the incense makers in the palace."

"To be honest with the County Lord, I am now three months pregnant. This person! Once pregnant, he likes to think too much. He always feels that there are many people with evil intentions hidden secretly." The Crown Princess smiled bitterly, "Prince There is no heir yet, so as many people are looking forward to me giving birth to Lin'er, there are as many people who hate me."

Just now, Gu Nanzhi saw that her face looked bad. Even though she was wearing makeup, there was still a hint of blue under her eyes.

Even without the Crown Prince's order today, the Crown Princess was ready to take the time to summon her into the palace. Why use her?

Because both Gu Wenhe and Gu Nanshan were pure ministers and never participated in party struggles.

"I want the county master to help me find out if there is anything wrong with the flowers in this room and the incense on the clothes." The Crown Princess looked at Gu Nanzhi intently, with a hint of pleading in her words. What she meant.

When Gu Nazhi was in his boudoir, he liked to play with the spices. This was not difficult to find out. The Crown Princess asked someone to check it out.

She learned this skill of mixing perfume from her grandmother.

Very few people know that she owns the best incense shop in Kyoto, where the subtle fragrance floats. One gram of the incense she mixes is as good as gold.

She pretended to be frightened and stood up immediately, "The Crown Princess really thinks too highly of my daughter. I am just having a little fun, mixing some incense. If the Crown Princess is worried, you might as well ask the imperial doctor or make a medicine." Xiang Guan came to take a look."

The Crown Princess was not angry when she heard this. She looked at Gu Nanzhi meaningfully and said, "Inviting you to the palace today is not only my wish, but also the Crown Prince's wish."

Gu Nanzhi had already guessed it, but she had to pretend. She looked at the Crown Princess in surprise.

"I think the county master is a smart man, and I will not trouble the county master in vain. From now on, you will come to the palace regularly to check these things for me. I will ensure that you leave the palace safely today, and I will grant it to you. If you ask for anything in the future, I will I will definitely help you, how about it?"

This is negotiating a deal with Gu Nanzhi.

After saying this, before she could speak, the Crown Princess smiled and continued: "There is no need to belittle oneself, the county master. I have found out that the faint fragrance floating around belongs to the county master. When it comes to mixing incense, looking at the entire Kyoto, I am afraid that no one has it." As good as the county lord."
