After the eldest daughter was reborn, she became a crazy output

Just as Mr. Zhou was feeling worried, the two of them arrived at the Marquis' Mansion.

Zhou Yu was still taken to the front hall and served with delicious tea.

However, at this time Zhou Yu couldn't drink at all and couldn't sit still.

Because, at that moment, he was the only one in the front hall, and his grandfather was taken away alone, and he couldn't stop him even if he wanted to.

Grandpa still volunteered to go, and even agreed to let him wait here. Looking at the empty front hall, Zhou Yu wanted to cry but had no tears. He would be afraid too!

Even though he was taken away alone, Mr. Zhou was not worried at all and was even in the mood to enjoy the scenery.

After entering Xiyuan, I didn't go anywhere else, but was taken directly to a pavilion in the yard.

The curtains of this pavilion were all drawn. When I pushed aside the curtains and entered the pavilion, I was instantly enveloped in warmth.

What catches the eye are two chairs facing each other with soft cushions on them. In the middle of the two chairs is a small table with a chessboard, tea cups, oranges and snacks on it.

There is a heater next to each chair.

There was already a person sitting on the chair opposite. He was very different from the Gu Jue he had seen before. He could see the problem with today's Gu Jue at a glance.

His face was pale, the air was filled with a strong scent of medicine and a faint smell of blood, and his lips were completely bloodless.

The pavilion was already warm, and there were heaters around, but Gu Jue was still holding a small hand warmer. It was obviously caused by the deficiency of Qi and blood. Even if he didn't practice martial arts, he could tell the severity of Gu Jue's injuries with his years of medical skills.

"Mr. Zhou, please take a seat. Gu Jue is not feeling well, so I'm sorry to bother you to come here."

After hearing Gu Jue's voice, Mr. Zhou confirmed Gu Jue's injury without asking.

The vital energy is insufficient, the qi and blood are deficient, the internal injuries are serious, and the external injuries are not light either.

Seeing Mr. Zhou sitting down, Gu Jue raised his hand and pointed to the tea in front of Mr. Zhou.

"I asked Mr. Zhou to come here today because I have something to ask of you."

Mr. Zhou was slightly surprised. He did not expect Gu Jue to come straight to the point. Such trust and sincerity, without any disguise, and without any transaction or push and pull.

After thinking for a while, Mr. Zhou asked doubtfully: "What's the matter?"

Gu Jue didn't beat around the bush and directly took out something wrapped in red silk from his lap and placed it on the table in front of the two people.

Mr. Zhou took a look and felt a little relieved.

The thing is not big and does not seem to weigh much, and it is definitely not medicine.

Seeing that Mr. Zhou's eyes were fixed on the thing, Gu Jue slowly opened the red silk wrapping, but his hands did not touch anything inside.

The red silk was opened and the contents inside were revealed.

A piece of fine topaz is wrapped in the red silk. The translucent topaz is polished into a rectangle without edges and corners. Judging from the shape alone, it is not much different from an ordinary jade pendant.

However, this jade pendant has no edges or corners, and it doesn’t look like the kind that can be worn on clothes, but more like something that can be worn around the neck.

Because this piece of jade is passed through a red rope, an ordinary red rope, but a special jade. What’s even more special is the patterns on the jade. They are not mythical beasts, nor are they words or patterns, but some lines. Looking at the strange patterns formed by those lines, Old Zhou frowned slightly.

"This is?"

"I heard that Madam Zhou and Madam Qin are close friends. I need Madam Zhou's help with something." Without waiting for Madam Zhou to ask, Gu Jue continued:

"I heard that Madam Qin believed in Buddha when she was young. I hope to ask Madam Qin to give this jade pendant to Prince Shen Zhuo of Xiang in the name of Madam Zhou."

Mr. Zhou, who was originally just confused, immediately changed his expression when he heard Gu Jue mention Shen Zhuo. His eyes became extremely sharp, as if containing many arrows on a string.

His eyes were sharp and his voice was deep, "What do you want to do?"

Seeing that Mr. Zhou was on guard, Gu Jue didn't pay much attention. He lowered his eyes and looked at the hand warmer in his hand. He said casually, "I heard that the prince of Xiang was seriously ill and had not recovered yet. This is a peace amulet. I need the prince of Xiang to get better as soon as possible and enter the court as soon as possible."

Elder Zhou was a little surprised by Gu Jue's words. After thinking it over again and again, he still refused, "The prince just has a common cold, and his body is getting better. Miss Gu, don't worry."

Gu Jue was not upset after being rejected, and calmly drank a sip of tea. "Old Zhou should know whether his illness can be cured before the Spring Examination. If he misses this year, given the prince's personality, he will probably have to wait another year."

"There must be many ministers in the court waiting for the prince to come to the court. They have been waiting for several years. Can they wait any longer? They can, but what about the emperor?"

"What about the people who are still suffering? Can they wait? And what about the policies that are suppressed layer by layer? When can we wait for their implementers?"

Mr. Zhou's eyes moved.

Indeed, what Gu Jue said was very right. The court officials could wait, His Majesty could wait, but the common people could not wait.

Although he did not participate in political affairs, he was still very clear about the situation in the court.

In fact, Dayan is not as peaceful as it seems. Although there has not been a large-scale war in more than ten years, frictions with Dayu occur from time to time on the border.

The territory of Dayan was not as peaceful as it seemed. With the peace in the territory, corruption and mutual protection among officials emerged. Many places had this problem to a greater or lesser extent.

In some places, it is so serious that officials without background will be eliminated, while those with background will protect themselves.

Many policies of the court were restricted time and again because of the aristocratic families.

Shen Zhuo is indeed very important to Dayan.

He has a good background and is dedicated to serving the people. More importantly, Shen Zhuo's identity is destined to make it so that the local noble families and officials will not dare to touch him.

Although they all did it for their own interests, no one wanted to offend the royal family, and no one wanted to call in the army.

Although the princes can also achieve the same effect, so far, no prince can have the talent and virtue like Shen Zhuo.

To be honest, Gu Jue's words made him feel shaken.

The jade pendant was pushed in front of him little by little. Old Zhou withdrew his thoughts and looked at Gu Jue.

Gu Jue wrapped the jade pendant, pushed it in front of Mr. Zhou, and then withdrew his hand.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt him. Dayan needs him." After saying that, he paused for a while. Without waiting for Elder Zhou to make a decision, he continued, "You can use any excuse you want. I just want this jade pendant to be delivered to him. The jade pendant cannot pass through anyone else's hands, and the red silk cannot be opened to touch the jade pendant inside. The jade pendant can only be worn by King Xiang on Shen Zhuo, and no one else can touch it."

"Also, don't let anyone know that this jade pendant was given to you by me."

“As for Madam Qin, you open it and show it to her, and she will do as you say.”

Seeing that Gu Jue did not give him a chance to refuse and had already explained everything, Mr. Zhou was a little stunned and asked in surprise: "Why do you think I won't refuse? This is related to Dayan, there can be no mistakes. Waiting for a year is fine. There will be no danger at all."

See this.

Gu Jue just chuckled, then said firmly, "You will definitely accept it."

You would even take the initiative to perfect all the details, not letting anyone know that it was the jade pendant I gave you. When you knew it was a peace amulet, you would take the initiative to perfect a reasonable explanation, so that the jade pendant would appear on Shen Zhuo's neck openly.

The conversation between the two ended with Mr. Zhou taking the jade pendant away.
