Rebirth: The flatterer prince I raised couldn't be so clingy

As soon as he finished speaking, the man hurriedly ran through the crowd and disappeared.

Feng Zhanye frowned and muttered in dissatisfaction: "What kind of person is this? He is so confident after hitting someone."

Gu Qingzhi was stunned for a moment, then lowered her eyes to look at the note that had just been stuffed into her hand.

"Business", "Cares", and "Home" were the only three words on the note.

The signature is a single character "Qin".

In just a few words, Gu Qingzhi understood the meaning.

He glanced at Feng Zhanye who was resting, hesitated for a moment and squatted down, "Your Highness, could you please sit here for a while? I'll be back soon."

When Feng Zhanye heard that she wanted to keep him here, he quickly tightened his hand around hers.

"Wait, where are you going?"

Gu Qingzhi thought quickly and found an excuse: "I caught a cold last night and my stomach is not feeling well."

As she spoke, she pretended to cover her stomach.

Feng Zhanye hesitated for a moment before letting go of her hand and said reluctantly, "Then go quickly and come back soon."

Gu Qingzhi nodded, stood up and left.

Looking at the receding figure, there was still a trace of warmth left in his palm, which made Feng Zhanye feel unreal for some reason.

He reluctantly tucked his hands into his sleeves, clenched them into empty fists, preserving that trace of warmth as he lowered his eyes and waited for her.

After walking for a distance, Gu Qingzhi looked around to determine her position, then found a low wall and jumped up.

Others may not understand this way of passing notes, but any assassin in Wutong Lane is familiar with it.

This was the unique way of passing messages in Changyi Casino. The man's words were meant to hint to her that the news came from Wutong Lane. The "Qin" signed on the note represented that it was done by old man Qin, but most likely he had a bad taste in mind by asking someone to bump into her.

As for the three words "事", "顾" and "家", they are easier to understand. They mean that there is something to be communicated and they will meet at Gu Qingzhi's house.

Gu Qingzhi was worried that Feng Zhanye was not safe alone, so she took the shortest route and returned to the door of her house in Wutong Lane as quickly as possible.

The waiter who often followed Old Man Qin hid in the darkness not far away. He bowed slightly to her, and when she came closer, he took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to her.

"This is what you asked the gambling house to investigate last time, and there is already a result."

Gu Qingzhi nodded, said thank you, took the letter and turned to leave, but was stopped by the waiter.

"Please wait a moment. I have something else that Boss Qin has specifically asked me to do."

Gu Qingzhi stopped and turned to look at him in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"The second son of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Zuo Chengran, you should recognize this man." The waiter narrowed his shrewd eyes, lowered his voice and asked with a slight smile.

Gu Qingzhi didn't know what he wanted to say, so she could only ask, "What's wrong?"

"Boss Qin asked me to tell you that you should be on guard against him these days. He sent someone to the gambling house a few days ago and asked to find out Lan Zhou's whereabouts."

Gu Qingzhi didn't remember any interactions with Zuo Chengran when he was an assassin. If he came to the gambling house, he should have come to kill Gu Qingzhi, who was the guard of the prime minister's residence.

There is only one possibility, that is, Zuo Chengyu used Zuo Chengran's name, intending to find himself who casually told him the secret in his heart that night.

The waiter seemed to recall something interesting and added with a smile, "The order was posted not long ago, and the person who came was ridiculed by Boss Qin, and the order was forcibly taken down by him."

Although Old Man Qin usually didn't get along with Gu Qingzhi's master, he was still nice to her. Although it was mostly because she earned a lot of money for him, he would really help when there was really a problem.

The clerk had been doing business under Old Man Qin for more than ten years, so he knew a lot. He did not hold back and told Gu Qingzhi all the details.

Gu Qingzhi sneered in her heart. Zuo Chengyu was so angry that it was just like this.

"Thank you for telling me. Please tell the old man for me. I will pay attention to it and will not take any jobs in the near future."

Gu Qingzhi took out a few taels of silver from her pocket and handed it to the waiter as a fee for running errands. The waiter happily accepted it, said hello to her and left.

Gu Qingzhi looked at the letter in her hand and felt that it was not safe to bring it into the prime minister's residence, so she decided to open it and read it immediately.

The first page of the letter described the process of the Yuzhou governor's visit to Beijing to report on his work, including where he passed through, and where he ate and stayed.

Gu Qingzhi just glanced at it briefly, and found that it was exactly the same as what she remembered from Zuo Xiang and his son.

She quickly turned to the second page, and when she saw the first few words, her brows furrowed.

"The governor of Yuzhou died last night due to acclimatization..."

Gu Qingzhi looked at it carefully in disbelief, confirming that she was not mistaken.

This was a development she had not expected at all, and was completely different from what she had anticipated.

The most incomprehensible thing is the word "died of illness". He was fine when he came, but when he was about to leave, he suddenly couldn't adapt to the local climate and died of illness?

She continued to read the records of his whereabouts in the three days before his death, and found that he had lived in the official inn from the time he arrived in Kyoto to the end of his audience with the emperor, but he changed inns three times in the three days before his death.

This incident actually happened in the previous life. The governor of Yuzhou had always been extremely vigilant. Gu Qingzhi remembered that when she wanted to kill him, he successfully got rid of her twice by changing inns.

There is only one reason that can prompt a person to change residence frequently, and that is insecurity.

There are so many guards in the official post station, and all comings and goings are recorded, so it should be the safest place. So the reason why he feels threatened is probably the same as in his previous life.

There must be a reason why the Zuo Xiang and his son wanted him dead.

Gu Qingzhi stared carefully at the name of the inn where he died. "Fengchang Inn" was an extremely ordinary name and there was no clue at all. It seemed that if she wanted to know something, she had to go there in person.

She went home and destroyed the letter, thinking that she had already delayed for too long. With Feng Zhanye's temper, he must have been waiting impatiently, so she hurried out again.

Unexpectedly, I bumped into someone just a few steps out of the house.

It was really weird, why did I get bumped into everywhere I went today? She was about to leave when she suddenly realized that the green clothes of the person in front of her looked familiar.

"Sister! Why is your head so hard!"

Gu Fengping was standing opposite with a basket full of herbs on his back. He had obviously just returned from the mountain. One of his hands was still covering his head which had just been hit and hurt.

Gu Qingzhi felt a little guilty when she saw his thinner body than hers, so she reached out and rubbed him a few times perfunctorily.

"It wasn't intentional. I wasn't paying attention."

"Hiss...Alright, alright, I'll go back to the shop and apply a cold compress later and I'll be fine."

Gu Fengping slapped her hand away and glanced at her helplessly.

Just as Gu Qingzhi was about to nod and leave, she heard a voice behind her.

"Aren't you feeling sick? Why are you here?"
