Chapter 327 Seeing through each other’s purposes
After listening to the so-called dream in Gu Chi's mouth, Zhan Ting couldn't recover for a long time, and sneered for a moment, "Tell me, are you the prince or someone else? What is your purpose?"
According to this person, he will reach Dabao in a few years and make countless achievements in his life.
Even though he knew this was unbelievable, Zhan Ting, who had no skills, was still attracted by the scene he described.
Having been with Zhan Ting for many years in his previous life, Gu Chi could still see through Zhan Ting's disguised mood and find it hard to calm down.
A deep smile flashed across his eyes. The emperor who would be decisive in killing and scheming in the future was now just a frustrated prince.
His mind stays on the surface, and he can naturally see through it after living two lives.
"Your Majesty, in order to show the credibility of my words, what follows may be a bit presumptuous."
Zhan Ting raised his eyebrows and signaled to him that he would like to see if this person from unknown origins can still name a flower.
Unexpectedly, Gu Chi opened his mouth and dropped a shocking bomb.
"Your mother's surname is Rong, and she comes from a hidden family. Your father, His Majesty, is poisoned and will die soon."
"What?" Gu Chi couldn't believe it. The Queen's surname was known to the whole world, but even he himself didn't know the origin of the Rong family for a short time.
What shocked him the most was the news that his father was poisoned. His eyes were fixed on Gu Chi, who was calm and composed, and his breathing was rapid.
The latter looked calm and lowered his voice: "If you don't believe it, you can send someone to investigate. At this time in your dream, His Majesty was already ill."
Zhan Ting clenched his fists, took a deep look at Gu Chi, stood up and left the teahouse without saying a word.
He pushed open the box, signaled his guards to keep an eye on the people inside, and then hurried back to the mansion to send someone to investigate.
One is to find out Gu Chi's origin, and the other is to find out the authenticity of the other party's words and whether his father is really poisoned.
For this reason, Zhan Ting activated a hidden line buried by the queen in the palace. The first thing that came before the news was Gu Chi's identity.
When Zhan Ting learned that Gu Chi, Luo Xi and Lu Yunjin came from the same place, they believed his so-called dream.
Without him, there would be too many strange people and strange things coming out of Zhengdao Village!
The deeper he dug into Gu Chi's past, the more frightened Zhan Ting became. He didn't expect that he was Luo Xi's childhood sweetheart.
The suspicion about Gu Chi's identity has been reduced by another three points. Next, the next step is to wait for news from the palace.
He was very anxious here, but Gu Chi was peaceful over there. He lived in the cheapest inn in the capital and stayed at home all day long to avoid running into acquaintances.
After Luo Xi left the capital, Lu Yunjin set out to detoxify the emperor. Anzhuang prepared some medicinal materials from the imperial hospital, which allowed them to find out some clues and passed them to Zhan Ting.
At this time, Zhan Ting did not know that all the seven insects and seven flowers in the emperor's body had been neutralized by Lu Yunjin. After receiving the few words delivered by Anzhuang, he was so excited that he trembled.
Seeing the excitement on his face, his staff reminded:
"Your Highness, the dreams Gu Chi mentioned are all things in the future. Is it because he didn't dream about the current situation or did he deliberately conceal it?"
Zhan Ting suddenly realized that indeed, Gu Chi had talked to him a lot that day, but they were all about the future, and he had brushed aside the present.
"Besides..." the staff member added: "According to Mr. Gu, the prince died on the battlefield on behalf of his father."
"Based on the actual situation, what kind of situation would allow the prince of a country to visit a dangerous place like a battlefield?"
Zhan Ting's face darkened. He was not stupid, but very smart.
Unless there is no one available for Dayong and the war fails, the emperor will send the prince to come in person to encourage his momentum.
The prerequisite for the prince to go to war on behalf of his father is that King Mobei is dead or deposed!
At present, it is unlikely!
The staff member smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Gu, who can have prophetic dreams, is not honest!"
"..."
Three days later, Gu Chi, who was staying in the inn, waited for a long time but the fourth prince sent someone to invite him.
After thinking about it, he realized that the difference between his past life and this life probably made him suspicious.
Gu Chi roughly guessed what the other party would do, so he left the inn and threw himself into a trap. Sure enough, when he walked into an alley, his neck was suddenly hit by a heavy object.
Gu Chi's eyesight went dark and he fainted.
Two men dressed in ordinary clothes carried Gu Chi onto the carriage. This scene happened to fall in the eyes of Lu Xiaomei, who was sitting by the window on the second floor of the restaurant opposite.
She blinked and tugged at her second brother's sleeves, "Second brother, second brother! I saw Gu Xiucai."
"Who are you talking about?" Lu Xiaodi, who had just left school and was having tea with his sister in a restaurant, narrowed his eyes.
Gu Xiucai, they are no strangers to brother and sister. In the past, he was the best in the village and liked to compare with his eldest brother in everything!
Although he is still young and cannot analyze the reason why Gu Chi appears here, it does not prevent him from suing his parents.
He said to the people sent by Lu Yunjin behind him to protect him, "One of you will follow the carriage, and the other of you will inform my elder brother."
"..."
When Gu Chi woke up again, he saw darkness all around him, except for a lone lamp not far from him.
His hands and feet were tied to the torture device and he could not move. He paused for a while and waited for the fourth prince to disguise himself as another prince and torture him to extract a confession.
The heavy iron door was pushed open with a rumble, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone down from above. Zhan Ting appeared without any disguise, and turned around to sit in the only chair in the secret room.
Behind him were seven or eight people.
This formation surprised Gu Chi.
"What? Are you surprised?" Zhan Ting chuckled, "I have indeed thought about pretending to be someone else, kidnapping you and interrogating you severely!"
"But I think you are a smart person, so I skip that step."
"Gu Chi, please tell me the truth now. Who do you belong to? Why did you deliberately approach this palace and fabricate lies? What is your purpose?"
Gu Chi was silent.
He expected that the fourth prince would send someone to kidnap him, but he didn't expect that his identity would be exposed like this. The appearance of Da Lala made the draft he had made in advance useless.
This "out of state" expression pleased Zhan Ting, and he chuckled, "Since you deliberately walked out of the inn to lure me into the trap, I gave up dealing with you."
"Gu Chi, Gu Chi, you are so clever that you are misled by your cleverness!"
Gu Chi closed his eyes and took a deep breath. According to his understanding of the fourth prince, most of the time he would pretend to be the prince and force him to confess.
When the time comes, all he has to do is hold on, show his loyalty appropriately, and release news that is beneficial to the fourth prince to increase his trust...
Unexpectedly, both parties saw through each other's purpose and were speechless for a moment.
Zhan Ting raised his eyebrows and stood up first, "It seems that Mr. Gu needs some time to organize his words."
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Gu Chi said hoarsely: "Wait a minute! The common people risk their lives and surrender, and they have only one purpose."
"Tell me about it!" Zhan Ting sat back down, interested.
Gu Chi looked into his eyes and said word by word: "When Your Majesty succeeds in his great cause, I want Luo Xi!"
This answer surprised everyone present. Two middle-aged men in the room spoke out after receiving Zhanting's signal:
"Your Highness, don't be deceived by such a villain. It makes sense to seek wealth and power. What does he want from Luo Xi? Is he really going to do that?"
After saying that, under the unblinking gaze of the two, Gu Chi's eyes flashed with emotions such as helplessness, affection, regret, and necessity.
Then, there was a curve of contempt on his lips, as if... everyone was drunk and he was alone.
No one knew that the two middle-aged men were masters of torture and could infer whether a prisoner was lying from his facial expressions, body language, etc.
They looked at each other with some solemn eyes, and nodded slightly to Zhan Ting, indicating that Gu Chi did not lie, but he was hiding something...
