Only then did Yun Wei react and follow suit, "Brother Xingchuan."

Lu Xingchuan smiled, pulled her to sit down, and asked, "Sister Wei'er seems to have not left the house in the past few days."

He should have heard from Gu Changling the reason why he hadn't left the house in the past few days. What did he mean by coming here to ask himself now?

Tentative?

Yun Wei couldn't figure it out, so she tried to reply as calmly as possible: "Oh, I haven't been feeling well these past few days and I don't want to move."

Lu Xingchuan asked with concern: "If you don't feel well, do you need to ask a doctor?"

"It's just a minor problem. There's no need to call in a doctor. Brother Xingchuan, why did you think of coming to see me today?"

"I see that you haven't come out recently, and I'm worried that you are sick. I have free time today, so I came over to take a look."

"Thank you, Brother Xingchuan, for thinking about me. Wei'er is fine."

"It's fine."

Although the two of them are called brother and sister, they actually have nothing in common. They are polite to each other, but Yun Wei has nothing to say.

The main reason is that Lu Xingchuan is also suspicious and is afraid of revealing his secrets if he talks too much.

Lu Xingchuan felt quite comfortable. After drinking tea for a long time, he could not be distracted by rambling.

As she talked, Yun Wei thought about Yun Xi.

So Bing retreated from the crowd, lowered his voice and pretended to complain: "Brother Xingchuan, didn't you promise me that you would help me get revenge? Yun Xi's reputation is just damaged now, nothing happened at all?"

Lu Xingchuan said: "It's not that my brother won't help you, it's mainly because you want to protect the witness."

"Jinyan?"

"Well," Lu Xingchuan said helplessly: "As long as Jinyan is pushed out to be a witness, how can your father let her go, and the same goes for His Royal Highness, so I thought about it and had no choice but to create some public opinion and try not to affect Jinyan. She’s just in case.”

"After this incident came out, Yunxi's reputation has been damaged and there is no hope for marriage. If you insist on sending her to prison, the Duke of Guo will definitely protect her even more, which will be counterproductive. It is better to let your father discover it step by step. Her true face will make her completely disappointed.”

The witness was buried in Lu Xingchuan's hands just like that?

how is this possible.

Yunwei guessed that he must have sold Jinyan's favor to his father in private.

Thinking of her trying to ask her father about Sun Miao, his father's reaction, and his disappointment in Yun Xi...

If Shan Yunxi was really just drunk and accidentally flirting with someone, how could his father be so disappointed? Lu Xingchuan must have secretly revealed witnesses who could prove that the rumors were true.

Yunwei smacked her lips, Lu Xingchuan was really smart, one piece of news sold him both a favor to her and his father.

However, she did not pursue it further. As Lu Xingchuan said, if he really wanted to expose her by force, her father would be soft-hearted and he would still try his best to protect Yun Xi, and Jin Yan would indeed be in danger.

Jin Yan is more important right now.

"It turns out that this is the case. Brother Xingchuan has a long-term plan." She flattered him.

Lu Xingchuan said modestly and asked someone to bring a scroll, "Num, Miss Jinyan asked me to bring this to you."

Yunwei opened it and saw that it was a picture of mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River. Jin Yan had already embroidered it.

As expected of Gu Xiu, worthy of her, the embroidery is more realistic than her paintings.

Yunwei couldn't put it down, "Where is Jinyan now? Can I go visit her?"

"Not yet. Her location cannot be exposed, otherwise her life may be in danger. If the princess has anything to say, please ask me to convey it to you."

Yun Wei was a little disappointed, "Okay, brother Xingchuan, please make sure to take care of Jinyan's safety."

"Don't worry about this."

Yunwei took Gu Xiu away and after three cups of tea, when she felt that there was really nothing to talk about, Lu Xingchuan finally stood up and left.

As he was leaving, he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "Oh, how is Gu Xiuzuan's health?"

Yun Wei: "Oh, he was infected with cold and is in poor health. He is recuperating."

Lu Xingchuan said: "No wonder I haven't been to the Hanlin Academy for a few days. Wei'er doesn't know something. Gu Xiuzuan is Xiaosi's teacher. He hasn't come to teach in recent days. Xiaosi is particularly worried. He just happened to come to see you today. , I just remembered to ask."

Oh, going around in circles, just looking for an excuse to visit Gu Changling.

Yunwei was particularly cooperative, "Your Highness Fourteenth, last time I saw him racing with Mr. Gu from a distance at the racecourse. I didn't realize that he missed Mr. Gu so much."

"It just so happens that I'm going to visit him now. Since His Highness the Fourteenth is so worried, why don't brother Xingchuan come with me to visit him? Then I can send a message to His Highness Fourteenth when I get back, so that he won't worry about it."

Lu Xingchuan hesitated for a moment, as if he was reluctant to do it for his younger brother: "That's fine, then I'll go visit Xiaosi on behalf of him."

Yunwei smiled, pretending to be like him.

He raised his hand as a gesture of invitation and took Lu Xingchuan to Lanju.

My husband always discussed matters with him in a small courtyard on the outskirts of the city. As for his residence, this was his first time here. He couldn't help but be curious and looked around.

There are only a few flowers and trees, a few servants, and the yard is small enough to be seen at a glance. It is really shabby, which is in line with the gentleman's character.

As soon as the two arrived at Lanju, Tuming said that the master had gone to the study and hurriedly went to report.

Yunwei waved her hand and asked him to lead the way to the study.

The name of his study is Dimoxuan.

It was also Yunwei's first time to set foot in the room. As soon as she entered the room, she was the first to see the neatly arranged bookshelves.

Gu Changling stood in front of the bookshelf, dressed in green clothes, holding a scroll in his hand, and the strong smell of books and ink came to him.

Seeing the two of them coming together, there was a hint of suspicion in his eyes before he put the book back in his hand and came over to salute.

Yun Wei had to pretend not to know and introduced him: "Master Gu, this is His Highness King Qi, the brother of His Highness the Fourteenth Highness. You won't be going to the Hanlin Academy for a few days. His Highness the Fourteenth Highness misses you, so His Highness King Qi stopped by to take a look. .”

Gu Changling bowed his hands and said, "I have met His Highness King Qi."

King Qi was polite and said, "Sir, there is no need to be polite."

Yunwei smacked her lips secretly after hearing the polite greetings from Lu Xingchuan and Gu Changling. They had met them eight hundred times in private, and their faces still looked like they were meeting them for the first time.

They are all movie stars.

As a novice in acting, she had better leave early to make room for them, otherwise she would be too tired to carry them like this.

"Brother Xingchuan, when I came here, the small kitchen was helping Master Gu stew donkey-hide gelatin and candied date soup. It's probably almost done now. You two can chat slowly for now. I have to go and take a look."

The words "Brother Xingchuan" made Gu Changling look sideways at her.

Yunwei didn't realize anything was wrong, and after saying hello, she withdrew with a poetic touch.

After she left, Lu Xingchuan's smile slowly disappeared, "How is your health, sir?"

"A small injury, no problem." Gu Changling poured a cup of tea for King Qi, "Why did your highness remember to come here?"

"Mr. Concerned, I just wanted to come and have a look. Don't worry, sir, I'm using Shi Shi's excuse to avoid making people suspicious."

"It's better to be cautious."

Lu Xingchuan nodded and took a sip of the slightly astringent tea, "I heard that this time my husband was in trouble and it was all because of Princess Yunwei's rescue?"

"Ah."

Lu Xingchuan smiled half-heartedly, "She suddenly became kind-hearted. Could it be that she knew something?"

Gu Changling raised his eyes and saw the undisguised murderous intent in Lu Xingchuan's eyes.

Yun Wei's rescue of him was indeed suspicious. If she really knew something, it meant that she might have revealed the information about Yun Xi on purpose.

Unexpected accidents like this cannot be tolerated.

This was also the question that Gu Changling had been thinking about when he was rescued.

But now...

For some reason, he didn't want to see others murdering her.

Yun Wei's life can only be in his hands.

"Your Highness is overly worried. Everything is just a coincidence. When I was being hunted, I happened to meet her visiting a nun in Kongming Mountain. Fortunately, she saved me."
