I heard you want to let me down

In an old deep courtyard, a man was sitting on a futon by the lake, fishing.Under the leadership of his servants, Gu Ruzhuo respectfully stood behind him: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

The man didn't look back at him: "I don't know what's the business of Mr. Gu coming to find a claustrophobic abandoned person like me?"

Gu Ruzhuo said in a deep voice: "The humble minister came to see His Highness, so naturally he came to show his loyalty."

The prince smiled: "Oh? When did the Rong family in Huainan become loyal to Gu?"

Gu Ruzhuo sweated slightly on his forehead: He really knew about that!

Gu Ruzhuo bowed: "That's just some people in the Rong family making their own claims, not what the Rong family meant. Please don't blame your Highness."

"The champion of the new division, Mr. Gu, is young and promising, and he is favored by my father. He has summoned him many times and praised him a lot, but now his official position is low, so he is not in a hurry to stand up. A young talent like you, wait The outcome is decided, and it is not too late to be loyal to the victor. Why bother to get involved in this muddy water? You are really so impatient and want to take advantage of the dragon. Now my elder brother is proud, and the Rong family has some differences with my elder brother Relationship, why do you want to go far and come to me?"

The prince snorted and said, "Could it be that you have so much confidence in me, a cripple who is under confinement?"

"Your Highness, why do you want to belittle yourself? I stand on His Highness's side, so naturally I believe in His Majesty's great talents, and I also want to ask His Highness." Gu Ruzhuo said in a deep voice, "Does Your Highness still remember Lord Lu Jiansu?"

The prince's hands trembled imperceptibly.

"This minister is a junior of Mr. Lu Jiansu, and it is only natural to be loyal to His Highness."

The prince's voice was a little cold: "Gu Ruzhuo, whose real name is Gu Baike, came from the Gu family in Heyang County, Jiangdong. Later, he was sold as a slave by his biological father. Fortunately, he was bought home by Miss Twelfth of the Rong family and became the son-in-law of the Rong family. White Deer Academy, just passed the exam all the way. Gu really can't figure it out, what relationship can you have with Lu Jiansu?"

Gu Ruzhuo took a deep breath: "21 years ago, Rong Huaisong, the head of the Rong family, once brought a baby boy back home, raised him as a daughter, treated him as a treasure, and was careful. This person is Weichen Today's wife - Rong Jin."

The prince finally turned his head and looked at Gu Ruzhuo: "I would like to hear the details."

"Lord Lu's wife is actually the adopted daughter of the Wei family, and also the lost daughter of the Rong family. Now the head of the Rong family is her brother. The Rong family recognized her in an accidental encounter, but the Wei family's senior family, They are far better than the Rong family, so they didn't know each other. No one knew about this relationship. Later, Master Lu and his wife had an accident, Weichen's father-in-law went to Beijing to visit quietly, and by chance, he saved the baby."

The prince's expression was stern: "How many people begged for help back then, but they couldn't get it. The Rong family, a merchant, has such ability?"

"It's also a coincidence. When Mrs. Lu was lost, the Rong family prayed for her. They did a lot of good deeds and accumulated good deeds. One of the inner eunuchs who was in charge of Mrs. Lu at that time was given the grace of his father-in-law to save his life. The inner eunuch and the humble minister His master, Dai Xun'an, cooperated inside and outside, and exchanged the body of another baby for Mrs. Lu's own son."

"At the time, the situation was urgent, so I didn't dare to take away any tokens. But today, I brought a letter from Master."

That's right, Ah Tang saw it with her own eyes back then, and it was indeed Dai Xun'an who took that child away.

He knew in his heart that Dai Xun'an would definitely keep that child under his nose.So these years, it's not that no one has been sent to secretly search Bailu Academy, but they didn't find any traces.

It turned out to be a girl.No wonder.It is indeed cautious enough.

The prince suddenly looked at Gu Ruzhuo thoughtfully: "It sounds like you and that child have a very close friendship? Are you for him?"

Gu Ruzhuo said in a low voice: "Yes. I hope that Ah Jin can recover her male body in a fair and honest manner."

Prince: "If Gu Neng has the last laugh, he will naturally not treat him badly."

Gu Ruzhuo raised the corner of his clothes, kowtowed and said, "Gu Ruzhuo is willing to do the work of a dog and a horse for His Highness."

The prince was silent for a moment: "If you really want to be loyal to me, I have an errand for you to do."

"A-Tang was too impatient a few days ago, so I inevitably got myself into a little trouble. You go to help A-Tang, the excuse you made two days ago is pretty good. Besides, I heard that among your fellow subjects, there is someone from the Huo family. His son, Huo Jingzhou. He is good friends with the young masters of the Yao family and the Jin family. Although these people are a bit of a jerk, they are all favored by the family and have some status. If they can be influenced by them, there will be some benefits."

Gu Ruzhuo's face changed slightly: "What does Your Highness mean?"

The prince looked at him: "I have no shortage of confidantes, and I will not trust someone who is loyal halfway, but is innocent and can betray the water at any time. Mr. Gu, since you said your allegiance, show some sincerity."

Gu Ruzhuo lowered his head: "I understand."

The prince slowly threw the fishing rod back into the water: "As for the Rong family's supply of money and food for my eldest brother, let's continue the supply first, and don't stop it rashly. I may need it in the future. The current situation in Beijing and China It looks stable, but in fact the wind and rain are about to rise. If Mr. Gu is afraid of having distracting thoughts, it is better to send the person who is concerned about him away, so as not to implicate him."

Gu Ruzhuo's heart trembled: "Yes."

After Gu Ruzhuo left, a woman walked out from the pavilion in the center of the pool: "Why did my brother ask the Rong family to provide money and food for that person?"

The prince looked at his younger sister with a relaxed expression: "Our eldest brother is not a tolerant person. The Rong family said that if they don't confess, they won't confess. Wouldn't it offend him greatly?"

"It looks like I was raised by the Rong family," the prince paused, "That child is called A Jin, isn't it? For the sake of the Rong family raising A Jin, it's okay to leave a way out for the Rong family. Besides, I'm not Care more about that."

Mu Yunsheng walked up to the prince and sat down: "Does brother also think he will lose?"

"A Tang, this kind of thing is not completely sure until the end."

Mu Yunsheng was silent for a while, then changed the subject: "Why did my brother give Gu Ruzhuo such an errand?"

The prince's expression was calm and unwavering: "What's the matter with this errand?"

"Brother asked him to get closer to Huo Jingzhou and the others, I'm afraid it would be bad for his reputation."

Huo Jingzhou and a group of friends, whether they are educated or not, are all well-known libertines.Some of them are not very clean, and their reputations are not very good.

"So what? He's actually here to vote for a certificate. It's only natural for me to do some dirty hands for me."

"But," Mu Yunsheng gritted his teeth, "He and Ajin seem to have an unusual relationship."

"You don't need to be so euphemistic." The prince snorted, "Didn't you hear? He said it himself just now, and their friendship is very strong."

Then you still let Gu Ruzhuo keep company with this kind of person?

The prince said softly: "It's just ridiculous."

Mu Yunsheng probably knew what the prince was thinking: "But we, we haven't raised A Jin for a day, and now that we have just found him, it is not good to meddle in his affairs rashly?"

She had seen Rong Jin and Gu Ruzhuo leaving hand in hand.From the demeanor and aura of the two, it can be seen that although they are both men, they have a deep relationship with each other.

"I didn't say what to do. I was short of such a manpower, and I needed someone to do this. He is new to the officialdom, and his family background looks very innocent, so he is perfect. Let him go, and help Ah Jin try Give him a try."

"try what?"

"That's too much. Try how deep the relationship between them is; see if Gu Ruzhuo sees too many beautiful women in pink, can he not change his mind and so on. Besides, he hangs out in Hualou, just in case When Jin got angry and kicked him off, wouldn't everyone be happy?"

Mu Yunsheng was speechless: "He's not really sensual, and Ah Jin is not a fool, why would he be angry because of this?"

The prince shook his head: "Don't look at him with a calm demeanor. A person like him was abandoned by his relatives when he was young and suffered a lot. Although he lived a good life later, he was unavoidably worrying about gains and losses in his heart. He felt insecure. Use a box to hide layer by layer. He will definitely not tell Ah Jin about these things."

"Then what should Ah Jin do if she is sad?"

"If he can't get rid of this problem, Ah Jin is not sad now, but will be sad in the future."

Mu Yunsheng really didn't know what to say: "Brother continues fishing, I have to go."

The prince stopped her and said calmly, "A Tang, don't be too impatient. Wait a little longer."

Mu Yunsheng's footsteps stopped suddenly: "Wait, wait! You always persuade me to wait! It's been 20 years! How long do we have to wait?!"

"What happened back then was that I was too weak." The prince turned his back to her and closed his eyes, "You were too young at that time, let alone do anything, don't have such a big burden. You have already planned to kill that warlock , I will let my brother do the rest. Brother and sister-in-law would not want you to do this."

Mu Yunsheng almost screamed: "I can't help it! I dream about it every night, and I hide in the closet, and then watch my sister-in-law being smothered to death from the crack of the closet! That warlock is dead! , but the culprit is still alive and well. One is sitting high in the clouds, and the other is enjoying himself and is preparing to sit on it.”

"Brother, I can hardly hold on anymore."

Without waiting for the prince to say anything, Mu Yunsheng turned around directly: "My sister is resigning!"

……

When Gu Ruzhuo returned to Rong's house, Rong Huaisong was waiting for him in the study, with an eager look on his face: "How?"

Gu Ruzhuo got the point straight: "The prince said to let the Rong family continue to provide money to the eldest prince."

Rong Huaisong was taken aback for a moment, and after a while his expression was complicated: "It seems that he cares about A Jin more than we imagined."

Gu Ruzhuo also breathed a sigh of relief: "The crown prince left a way out for the Rong family, and also left a way out for A Jin."

This is of course the best.Originally, Rong Huaisong was afraid that the prince would ask them to send a letter to reject the eldest prince, and the whole family thoroughly stated their position.At that time, I really have to stand if I don’t stand.

"What else? What else did the prince say?"

Gu Ruzhuo was silent for a long time before he said, "Father, you should find a way to get Ah Jin to leave the capital."

"Going out to travel, managing the family business, or going to Bailu Academy to study for a few years is fine. According to the prince, the turmoil should have been in these few years."
