Once upon a time there was a mountain of secrets

At night, everything is silent...

Gong Jiuqing tossed and turned, looking very restless.In the end, he sat up directly in the white obscene clothes, and raised his voice, "Zhi Ruo."

Zhi Ruo was keeping watch tonight, so she knew that Gong Jiuqing would definitely not fall asleep, so as soon as the words fell, Zhi Ruo pushed the door open and walked in, leaning over and saying, "Here."

"Where's the prince?"

Zhi Ruo was a little embarrassed, guessing that Gong Jiuqing was going to ask about the whereabouts of the prince, but he dared not answer.

Seeing Zhiruo's troubled look, Gong Jiuqing guessed: "He went back to the Prince's Mansion?" Thinking about it was wrong, it was impossible for Gu Moqian to let him go and face Cang Nuan alone.

Zhiruo shook his head.

Gong Jiuqing guessed again: "Didn't go back? Are you still dealing with Cang Nuan? Are you still drinking?" If Gong Jiuqing calculated the time correctly, the two have been drinking since dusk, and it should be almost midnight now is.Why are you still drinking?

Zhiruo thought for a while, then nodded.Not the kind of nod of affirmation.

Gong Jiuqing was already a little irritable and flustered, so she asked directly: "What are they doing?"

Zhi Ruo sighed, and said, "The Prime Minister's Mansion didn't have much wine in stock, and His Highness and the two of them drank it all. So..."

"So they went out to drink?" Gong Jiuqing guessed.Because there are too many eyeliners in Gu Moqian's Prince's Mansion, it is impossible to take Cang Nuan to the Prince's Mansion.

Zhiruo nodded dumbfounded.

Gong Jiuqing was immediately furious, but quickly fell down on the bed as if resigned to her fate.He said weakly: "Ming Wu and they all followed."

Zhi Ruo said: "The dark and bright guards should follow."

Gong Jiuqing sighed, "Hey."

Seeing that Gong Jiuqing didn't intend to continue looking for her, Zhi Ruo didn't leave either.Instead, he closed the door, moved the stool, and sneakily moved to Gong Jiuqing's side.

Gong Jiuqing also knew that Zhi Ruo hadn't left yet, and he also knew what Zhi Ruo wanted to ask.

Zhiruo put down the stool, sat down, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, what do you think the Emperor Tongcang is here for?"

Gong Jiuqing lay horizontally on the bed, looked at the curtain above, and said helplessly: "Stir the water, what else can I do?"

Zhi Ruo didn't seem to be very satisfied with the answer, and frowned after hearing it, "It's just why the servant thinks that Emperor Tongcang is not so easy to deal with. At least it won't be as simple as just messing things up."

Generally, if the maid denies the master in this way, it is estimated that she will be dragged out and beaten to death even if she asks such a thing beyond the scope of duty, she will be treated as a traitor and beaten to death.

Ke Zhiruo served Gu Moqian since she was a child. Although she was sent to follow Gong Jiuqing now, her status was equivalent to that of a housekeeper in the prime minister's residence.

The most important thing is that Gong Jiuqing did not treat Zhi Ruo as a servant, and from the very beginning, Gong Jiuqing called Zhi Ruo "Sister Zhi Ruo".

Zhi Ruo didn't treat Gong Jiuqing as a master either.The two are like siblings. Although Zhi Ruo always said that Gong Jiuqing was a bumpkin, but Gong Jiuqing was stupid, Zhi Ruo naturally showed maternal love.

The relationship between the two of them is not purely a master-servant relationship, so naturally there is no such thing as transcendence.

When Gong Jiuqing heard Zhi Ruo's words, she suddenly got up and looked at Zhi Ruo.

"Sister Zhiruo thinks so too?"

At the beginning, Zhiruo was still a little apprehensive and resistant to the title of sister, so she would correct her with words.After a while, I got used to it and didn't bother to correct him.

Zhi Ruo nodded and said, "You think so too?"

Gong Jiuqing also nodded and said: "Cang Nu'an is quite ambitious, and has a deep scheming and cunning scheme. If he is just here to stir up trouble, there is no need to take the risk himself. He only needs a letter to make the whole imperial city uneasy. .”

Zhi Ruo also nodded.

Gong Jiuqing stroked her chin, tugged at her missing beard, and said thoughtfully: "He must have come here to find Gu Moqian, the two of them must be planning something. No matter what it is, it must be good for Cang Nuan. The matter has come to this point, we can only step up to monitor him. We can do nothing else, if someone knows that Emperor Tongcang came to my prime minister's mansion secretly, then the crown prince and I will be accused of treason."

Zhiruo nodded.

Gong Jiuqing continued to analyze: "Although Cang Nu'an is making dangerous moves, he is safer than anyone else."

Zhi Ruo didn't understand, and asked puzzledly: "Ah? He is an emperor alone in the imperial city of the enemy country, why is he still safe?"

Gong Jiuqing said: "Nan Hui and Tong Cang have just negotiated peace. If something happens to the King of Tong Cang in the imperial city, then Tong Cang will definitely rise up and destroy Nan Hui. Regardless of whether Tong Cang really wants to give Cang Nuan a peace There is no doubt that he will choose to attack for revenge. Then he came to my prime minister's mansion secretly, saying that there is nothing between us, who would believe it? So we can't expose him, let alone let him die."

"Oh, that's true."

"There's one more thing I really can't figure out."

Zhi Ruo was surprised: "There are more?"

Gong Jiuqing nodded and said, "En."

"What's the problem?"

"This... I don't know how to say it. I just feel a little strange."

"What's wrong?" Seeing Gong Jiuqing's puzzled expression, Zhi Ruo couldn't help feeling tense.To a certain extent, Zhi Ruo is very sure of Gong Jiuqing's ability.If Gong Jiuqing couldn't figure out the problem, then it must be a big deal.

Gong Jiuqing frowned and said: "I always feel that the way Cang Nuan looks at me is a bit strange... I always feel that he is planning something. But I can't figure out what kind of scheme he can have on me."

Zhi Ruo let out a chuckle, and couldn't help but pat Gong Jiuqing on the shoulder.Seeing that Gong Jiuqing was inexplicable.

"Sister Zhiruo knows?"

Looking at Gong Jiuqing's clean face, Zhi Ruo couldn't help sighing in her heart.This child hopes that he can see everything in reality clearly, but he doesn't want him to see clearly.If he sees it clearly, does it mean that he is about to leave.

"You are very smart. It's just that sometimes you are a little bit too smart."

Gong Jiuqing was stunned again, what does it mean to be smart and sometimes stupid?

Seeing that Gong Jiuqing still didn't understand, Zhi Ruo explained: "Don't you realize that Emperor Tongcang looks at you very strangely?"

Gong Jiuqing nodded and said sternly: "That person is very revengeful, he must want to take revenge on me."

Zhi Ruo originally wanted to laugh at him again, but then she thought again, since Gong Jiuqing thinks so, then it's good to let him think so.

So Zhi Ruo nodded and said: "Yes, and you are His Highness's greatest help, Cang Nuan will definitely find a way..." Zhi Ruo didn't finish speaking, but made a gesture of wiping her neck.

The meaning is obvious, it means that Cang Nuan wants to kill him.

Gong Jiuqing instinctively felt a slight chill in her neck, and shivered subconsciously.Recalling the first time he met Cang Nuan, Cang Nuan found out that he was tricked into trying to kill him. If Gu Moming hadn't appeared at the moment of life and death, he might have died long ago.

Therefore, the reason why Cang Nuan took the risk to come to the Prime Minister's Mansion was definitely to kill him.

Seeing Gong Jiuqing's frightened look, Zhi Ruo felt relieved.

"Don't worry, His Highness has arranged more than a dozen hidden guards around you, even if an army comes, they can guarantee your safety."

Hearing what Zhi Ruo said, Gong Jiuqing felt relieved.

"My lord, you should always be careful about that Tongcang King."

Gong Jiuqing nodded: "Enen. Zhi Ruo, tell Gu Moqian to be careful. Cang Nuan is not so easy to deal with. If he is ruthless, he will not care about his own life. The opponent who is not afraid of death is the best. It's scary."

There is no doubt about Cang Nuan's point of view. It can be seen from the fact that Gong Jiuqing used him as a threat, but he told Gong Zimo not to surrender regardless of his life.Or it cannot be said that he is not afraid of death, but compared with the emperor's view of life and death, or the means, he is indeed tough.

If the opponent cannot even threaten his life and death, he must be the most difficult opponent.
