"How likely is it?" Gu Jue, who had been silent, finally spoke.

"90% sure."

Hearing this, Gu Jue narrowed his eyes, and the darkness in his eyes was as black as ink.

Ge Yuan, Ge family, Poetry Tower.

Therefore, the Fu Shi Tower actually belongs to the Ge family.

Marquis Chengxing is only the nominal owner.

Is the real owner behind the Fushi Tower actually Ge Yuan?

Is it Ge Yuan? Or the Ge family?

The head of the Ge family would know this, and it is even more impossible for Minister Ge, who is Ge Yuan's father, not to know this.

Perhaps, the Poetry Tower was the Ge family’s plan, but the executor of this plan was Ge Yuan.

But, the Ge family and Earl Chengxing?

How did they do it?

"How did Earl Chengxing become so close to Ge Yuan?"

"Did you check?"

Speaking of this, Lanxing’s face didn’t look very good.

"Ge Yuan has a hobby. He likes to go to the Jiangzhang Tower very much. Ge Yuan and Cheng Xingbo often play together."

Hearing Lan Xing's words, Gu Jue's face immediately turned cold.

"Ge Yuan also has that kind of habit?"

"Ge Yuan should not have done that. We haven't investigated it thoroughly yet. For now, we only found out that Ge Yuan forcibly abducted a woman." Lan Xing's face did not look very good either.

"Keep checking. I want all of Ge Yuan's information."

"Okay, I understand."

"My people are already investigating."

Gu Jue was a little confused.

Did Ge Yuan and Cheng Xingbo often play together?

Do you often go to brothels together?

Well, she now has one last doubt.

"Let's check the Crimson Tent Tower as well. Try not to be discovered and treat it as the Poetry Tower."

"Is there a problem with the Jiangzhang Tower too?" Lanxing was a little confused.

The Crimson Tent Tower has existed in Yanjing for a long time.

It was just a small brothel at the beginning, but it developed step by step to reach its current size.

It is different from the teahouses like Fu Shi Lou that first appeared and are in their current appearance.

The Crimson Tent Tower grew step by step, even though it was a brothel.

However, the Crimson Tent Tower is indeed completely different from the Fushi Tower.

Obviously, Gu Jue also knew it.

They also checked the details of all the brothels in Yanjing.

It was precisely because the growth trajectory of the Crimson Tenancy Building was too transparent that she did not allow anyone to conduct a detailed investigation into this brothel that had stood for a very long time.

"My guess is, let's check it first. Only after we check it out, we will know if there is any problem."

Lanxing nodded.

He actually had a bad feeling.

I have always ignored the Jiangzhang Tower before, but these two people met in the Jiangzhang Tower. Is there really nothing wrong with this brothel?

Obviously, Linglong also discovered this, so she thought there was something wrong with the Jiangzhang Tower.

Lanxing didn't stay in Wanshu Pavilion for long. After discussing things with Gu Jue, Lanxing left Wanshu Pavilion immediately.

After all, he really didn't like books, and he disliked bookstores even less.

However, not long after Lanxing left, Gu Jue also returned to the Marquis' Mansion.

Because someone who had to be received suddenly came to the Marquis's mansion.

The person who came was Eunuch Hou, who was beside the emperor.

When he heard the news, Gu Jue was still in Wanshu Pavilion.

This timing was indeed a bit beyond Gu Jue's expectations. She thought it would take at least two more days.

A glimmer flashed across Gu Jue's eyes, but it quickly disappeared, leaving only thick darkness, making it impossible to see the emotion in his eyes.

Return to the Marquis' Mansion and enter the front hall.

Seeing Eunuch Hou drinking tea, Gu Jue immediately walked forward.

"Eunuch Hou."

After meeting Gu Jue, Eunuch Hou explained his purpose.

So it was the emperor who wanted to see her?

At this time, right after the court session, he sent someone to look for her?

After packing up, Gu Jue followed Eunuch Hou to the palace.

Gu Jue was taken directly to the imperial study, where only the emperor was there.

Today, Gu Jue was still wearing men's clothes, and even though he was going to meet the emperor, he did not change at all.

The emperor had no objection.

Just as Gu Jue was about to perform the salute, the emperor spoke up to stop him.

"Play chess with me."

"Yes."

The emperor's attitude was strange, but Gu Jue could guess it.

Probably, he was testing her.

The two were playing Go, and the emperor was asking her questions while they were playing.

"Are you still used to handling official business?"

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am getting used to it."

Gu Jue's attitude is the kind that no one can find fault with. There is no panic, no flattery, only humility and neither overbearing nor servile.

The emperor seemed to be very interested in the Gu family military camp and kept chatting with Gu Jue about the Gu family army.

Basically, the emperor asked and Gu Jue answered.

The two even talked about the future development of the Gu family army and the military system, which are sensitive topics.

For these sensitive topics, other people might think twice before answering, but not Gu.

She answered whatever the emperor asked.

The main feature is that every question will be answered.

The emperor did not feel bad about her attitude, and even had a hint of admiration in his eyes.

The two of them spent as much time playing chess as they did chatting about Gu's army.

Until the emperor suddenly asked a question.

This question was very surprising to Gu Jue. It even caught him off guard. Gu Jue's movements paused for a moment.

"Which talented man in Yanjing do you think is worthy of you?"

This is a very strange question.

Not only is it weird, the wording is weird.

Worthy?

Very strange question.

But he did ask Gu Jue about it.

To be honest, there was a flash of that image in her mind.

However, that person was no longer possible. The other party didn't even want to see her.

What about the future?

In that case, then.

"No one is worthy of me."

Gu Jue's expression was calm, but his tone was firm, even revealing a hint of arrogance and pride.

When these words were spoken, the emperor was surprised, but he couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahaha"

"He is indeed the successor that Mr. Gu would choose even if he gave up his own son!"

"well said!"

In fact, without the emperor saying anything, Gu Jue had already guessed what the emperor's reaction would be as soon as he uttered this sentence.

The emperor now gave her a very kind feeling, so kind that it seemed as if he would not blame her no matter what she said.

Treat her as a subject and talk to her about the Gu family army.

However, his attitude towards her was very kind, and the emperor never seemed to think badly of anything she said.

Although she knew what the emperor was thinking, he actually admired her quite a bit.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have talked to her about Gu Jiajun and those sensitive topics.

There was no attempt to stop her from changing Gu's army.

But, it's a little strange.

Before Gu Jue could think about it, she already knew where the strange thing was.

I heard the emperor ask.
