Mrs. Lin and Gu Mingzhu returned to the Huaiyuan Marquis’ Mansion, and the Huaiyuan Marquis also happened to come back from the yamen.

"Will the yamen go smoothly today?"

Mrs. Lin was about to come forward to change clothes for Gu Chongyi, but Gu Chongyi summoned the old man to serve him.

After cleaning his face, Gu Chongyi became energetic again. He was detained in the yamen this day. The people of Dali Temple asked those questions over and over again, which was really annoying, but he could not be too smart, so he had to pretend to be confused and entangled with them. He knew the intentions of the Dali Temple officials and wanted to find a way to save the East Palace from those details.

The Imperial Concubine is also very powerful. When encountering such a big thing, she can still stabilize the East Palace and secretly make people think of ways. If the prince wasn't too useless, she might be able to turn the tide by the Imperial Concubine.

It’s a pity that Tao Duo used the token of the Eastern Palace to mobilize troops, and the prince quietly took people away without telling anyone. These are all real evidence. Wei Yuanchen is also doing things without any loss. Whether he was investigating the case in Taiyuan Prefecture or later finding out that something was wrong, he went to Tao Duo to find everyone, and it was impossible to question it. That is, on the way to rescue the prince, he was injured, and this was attacked by the censor.

But no matter who encounters this, they will be impeached. Either let Lin Sizhen go or hurt the prince. It is wrong to choose which one.

Gu Chongyi sat down and said, "It went smoothly, I also heard about the East Palace."

Mrs. Lin immediately said, "How is it?"

Gu Chongyi said: "When Cui Zhen saved the prince, the rebels dropped the torch on the prince's hair, the hair was burned and his face was injured. In such a situation, the prince would not show up in front of others for a while." Even if he walked out of the house next time, he might not be the prince.

Mrs. Lin was surprised: "Will Brother Zhen be punished by the court for this?"

"No," Gu Chongyi said, "No one will mention these things."

Mrs. Lin was a little puzzled.

Gu Chongyi whispered: "There is news back to Beijing, saying that in order to save his life, the prince shouted and asked Lin Sizhen to take him away."

Mrs. Lin took a deep breath: "That's really..." Such a backbone-free person lost all the face of Da Zhou. The Eastern Palace would never be willing to mention it again, so Cui Zhen and Wei Yuanchen would not be punished.

Mrs. Lin brought a cup of tea to Gu Chongyi: "But, since the prince has become like this, why is the imperial concubine trying hard to arrange this?"

"For the sake of the ninth prince, the prince will make fewer mistakes, and there will be no many people in the court questioning the imperial concubine party," Gu Chongyi quickly took the tea and helped Mrs. Lin sit down. "The emperor is in the spring and autumn. In another ten years, the ninth prince will grow up. At that time, the position of crown prince is still not determined. The ninth prince is the best candidate, so I guess in the past ten years, the imperial concubine party will sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight."

Mrs. Lin frowned: "The things in the court are so complicated."

Gu Chongyi smiled slightly. The emperor, the imperial concubine, and those princes and concubines were not a good deal.

"Why don't the master drink tea?" said Mrs. Lin. "Every time I come back from the yamen, I'm very thirsty?"

"Today, the tea in the yamen is very good." Gu Chongyi also felt strange when he mentioned this matter. The officials of Dali Temple took great care of him and did not take him back every time he mentioned some important things. This also prevented him from pretending to be stupid and eavesdropping, which saved him a lot of trouble.

"On the way back from the Yai, I wanted to buy you two salted ducks from Pinxianglou, but unfortunately it was sold out. I agreed with the restaurant and asked them to send them here tomorrow."

The salted ducks in Pinxianglou are very popular. Gu Chongyi was so busy these two days that he forgot to order them in advance.

Mrs. Lin said: "I still think it's so important. I'll eat it tomorrow..." However, after the master said this, she really had a big appetite and missed the soft and glutinous salted duck.

"Master," the manager's mother came in and reported, "The second master of the Wei family has come and brought a few food boxes."

Gu Chongyi was a little surprised.

The Wei family came to visit, so Gu Chongyi naturally wanted to welcome him.

Gu Chongyi walked out and said, "What did the Wei family send?"

"It's the food box from Pinxianglou," the manager reported, "I heard it was sugar elbows and salted ducks, and some candied fruit."

Gu Chongyi couldn't help but be stunned. He had just gone to Pinxianglou to buy salted ducks, and the Wei family sent it here? This could not be a coincidence.

Gu Chongyi entered the main hall and immediately saw Mr. Wei Er sitting on a chair and drinking tea.

"Mr. Marquis." Master Wei Er stood up to greet him.

Gu Chongyi hurriedly said, "Second Master, what do you mean by this? Let you send a food box..."

"It's a coincidence," said Mr. Wei Er, smiling, "I went to the restaurant and saw the Marquis from afar. After asking the shopkeeper, I found out that the Marquis came to buy salted ducks. It would be fine if others could make the Marquis eat what they didn't have. I immediately put a few food boxes to bring them over.

Mr. Marquis must not be polite to me.”

Mr. Wei Er smiled so hard that his beard was raised: "This Pinxianglou is the restaurant I opened, and it is very convenient to use my own things."

Pinxianglou is the Wei family's property? Why haven't you heard anyone say it before? Gu Chongyi was stunned when he saw two beards coming over: "I won't tell him ordinary people."

Gu Chongyi was about to thank him with a smile when he heard the chirping of crickets in Mr. Wei's sleeve.

"I heard that the Marquis has a general in his hand," Mr. Wei blinked, "Can you lend me a look?"

Could it be that Master Wei Er is trying to make the insect in his jar?

Gu Chongyi looked at Master Wei Er and looked at him, as if he had found a friend. The two couldn't help laughing.

Mrs. Lin looked at the food that was set up on a table, and she had all the dishes she liked most in Pinxianglou. She had just eaten, but she felt hungry again when she saw these.

Mama Yang said: "This is something that people with both bodies can eat, and the Wei family is willing to do so."

Although the food was good, Mrs. Lin felt a little uneasy... It seemed that since Taiyuan Mansion, their Gu family and Wei family always had an intersection, and now they can even meet them when they go to Pinxianglou to buy a duck.

Gu Mingzhu was also stunned when she saw the food on the table.

"Eat some Zhuzhu," said Mrs. Lin, "with your favorite sugar elbows and candied fruit."

Gu Mingzhu sat down at the table, wondering when did Mr. Wei Er have such a good relationship with his father?

"The Wei family is so polite, I have to go to the Wei family to visit the Grandma," said Mrs. Lin. "The Lord Wei takes great care of us all the way back to Beijing and always comes to thank us."

Gu Mingzhu bit the candied fruit in her mouth. She said that she hadn't been to the Wei family yet, but she just went to an ordinary visit, so she probably didn't have to worry too much.

I don’t know if Lord Wei has received the message from her, and I hope I can gain something tonight.

...

When Wei Yuanchen received the message from Liu Su, he raised his head and looked out, but Gu Mingzhu did not come with Liu Su.

"I have someone watch outside the Cheng family," Wei Yuanchen said, "but there are some things that you people in the market still need to do."
