For the next few days, there was no movement from Gu Qi.

Gu Jue was getting impatient. Just as he was about to push Master Gu again.

The news she had been waiting for for a long time came back.

The Prince of Xiang has returned to Yanjing and will arrive tomorrow morning.

Instantly, Gu Jue no longer wanted to pay attention to the news about Gu Erye. Just give him a little more time. No matter what, she will always achieve her goal.

Since getting the news he wanted, Gu Jue couldn't sit still.

Although on the surface, she seemed no different from usual, but people who knew her well could tell from Gu Jue's subtle movements that she was not as calm as she looked on the outside.

She couldn't wait to see him.

As if remembering something, Gu Jue suddenly asked, "Yingxing, have you not dealt with the spy in the Marquis' Mansion that I asked you to investigate before?"

When Yingxing heard Gu Jue mention the spies, he thought that his master didn't want to deal with it, but he didn't expect it was because he forgot.

"Yes. Master."

Gu Jue thought about it and decided that she couldn’t leave the house for too long, nor should she appear in front of Shen Changan suddenly.

Since we have to wait another day, let’s find something to do!

"Go find Lanxing and bring me information about all the major mansions in Yanjing. The more detailed the better."

Take advantage of this time to learn more about the complex relationships in Yanjing.

"Yes."

Waiting for the movie star to send the information and looking at the thick stack of papers in his hand.

Although she knew a lot about the situations of various prefectures in Yanjing, it was not as detailed as what Lanxing and Chengcheng had found.

There are also a lot of gossips that outsiders can’t know, um, that’s pretty good.

Chengcheng is very careful and even remembers all the relatives in each mansion clearly.

After reading all the information, Gu Jue took out a few sheets, looked at them repeatedly, and finally entered the study room he had never been to before.

After a while, he handed a piece of paper to Yingxing and said, "Ask Lanxing to check these people. The more detailed the better."

"Yes." The movie star took the paper and bowed slightly.

The relationships in the imperial city were more complicated than she thought.

The current emperor is in his prime, so there has been no dispute over the succession. The princes have not yet officially entered the court, and their private power is not that strong.

But inevitably, they all intentionally or unintentionally got close to the ministers, and even the princes of various mansions who had not yet entered the court.

Currently, the only princes capable of competing for the throne are the Second Prince, the Third Prince, the Fifth Prince, the Sixth Prince, the Seventh Prince who has been fighting outside for many years, and the Eighth Prince who is not yet an adult.

She knew the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince. In their previous lives, they were indeed quite powerful, especially the Third Prince.

What she didn't expect was the second prince.

The Second Prince in this information is quite different from the Second Prince she knew in her previous life.

The eldest prince died young, and the second prince is now the oldest and the most suitable prince for the position of crown prince. Moreover, the second prince was born to the queen and is the legitimate son of the emperor. It is reasonable that the second prince should inherit the throne.

But from what she knew in her previous life, the second prince she knew was a non-competitive person, and even behaved kindly in every way, and did not want the throne.

So he was pretending? But is there anyone who could pretend so well and not reveal his true colors for decades?

Moreover, the Second Prince did not need to pretend. As long as he showed that he wanted the position of Crown Prince, he would not need to fight for it. Someone would naturally give it to him. If not the eldest son, who would he give it to?

However, the emperor has more than one legitimate son, and the seventh prince is also a legitimate son, so what about the seventh prince? Doesn't the seventh prince want the throne?

Gu Jue smiled with an ambiguous meaning.

The emperor's favorite person is none other than the seventh prince.

So, did he know what the emperor was thinking? That's why he disguised himself?

Moreover, there are no spies of the Marquis' Mansion who are related to the Second Prince.

It seems like the second prince really has no interest in the throne.

But the information in this document is not like that.

Although he did not make friends with the ministers of various governments, the descendants of important officials in the court all had a good impression of the second prince.

The most important thing is that the second prince in this information does not look like a man without means.

The two grandsons of the old tutor, the sons of the two ministers of the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of Justice, the son of the Duke of Zhenguo, the son of the general's mansion, these outstanding young talents are all good friends of the second prince.

Although the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince also have many friends who are sons of ministers’ houses.

But what is different is that the identities of the friends made by the Second Prince cannot be simply summarized as court officials and young masters.

Their respective fathers or grandfathers held important positions in the court.

Moreover, he not only made friends with the sons of officials, but also made friends with common people. However, they all had one thing in common: they were all very talented.

If you don't check carefully, you will never find out that there is anything special about the people the second prince associates with, and you will never find out that the second prince is different.

Even if someone noticed it, no one would think too much about it. After all, everyone in Yanjing knew that the Second Prince was a bookworm and a typical nerd.

He can have a pleasant conversation with ordinary scholars over a book, a poem or a lyric, and has no demeanor of a prince at all.

However, what Gu Jue cared about most was not the second prince's true character.

She actually didn't care whether the second prince fought for the throne or not, nor did she care who sat on the throne.

The only thing she cared about was that she took a closer look at the Second Prince's information and discovered that the reason why the Second Prince was different was just because of a sentence in the Second Prince's information.

The Second Prince's good friend, the Prince of Xiang. The information says that the two grew up together. Compared with other princes, the Prince of Xiang is closer to the Second Prince, and the Second Prince even often goes to the Prince of Xiang's mansion to look for Shen Changan.

The most important point is that Gu Jue stroked the paper in his hand with a gloomy look.

When he was young, Shen Changan, the prince of Xiang, accidentally fell into the water and was rescued by the second prince. Because of this, the second prince had a fever for more than a month.

Therefore, he is not as strong as other princes and always looks like a weak scholar.

"Shadow Moon,"

A figure flashed in front of Gu Jue and bent down slightly.

"Give Lanxing a message, ask him to personally investigate this Second Prince, and be careful not to reveal his purpose."

Let her see what kind of person this second prince is.

The throne, I don’t believe you are not interested!

"Yes."
