Chapter 20: True Purpose
Wen Xize also noticed Gu Shiqi: "Who is this person?"
Lian Zhi replied: "I and the sixth princess were almost in danger today when we left the palace. It was Mr. Gu who saved me and the sixth princess. However, it was also because of Mr. Gu that the dispute between us and Mr. Wang arose."
"How do you say this?" Wen Xize was a little curious.
"Mr. Gu is a businessman, so the Wang family should also be businessmen. Since they are businessmen and they are all in Chujing, there will naturally be conflicts. Mr. Wang recognized Mr. Gu, and when he targeted Mr. Gu, he also satirized us.
, that’s why the following things happened.”
Lian Zhi betrayed Gu Shiqi so thoroughly that no one else understood why Lian Zhi wanted to involve Gu Shiqi in this matter at this time.
Wen Xize looked at Gu Shiqi: "Can you steal the Wang family's business?"
"Back to the emperor, the common people are just doing business, not trying to steal business. It's just that the people like it, so they come to buy from me." Gu Shiqi replied respectfully, without showing any timidity.
Wen Xize did not continue to delve deeper, but instead asked Wen Zhiyuan: "Prince, Princess Wanyang is your future princess, what do you think of this matter?"
Although Wen Zhiyuan didn't know why Lian Zhi wanted to investigate the case by himself, he believed in Lian Zhi: "Er Chen felt that since Princess Wanyang wanted to investigate by herself, let Princess Wanyang investigate by herself, lest others investigate her and she would not be able to do so.
rest assured."
Mo Ziyu was dissatisfied: "Your Majesty, how can Princess Wanyang investigate this matter by herself? If she just makes up an excuse, wouldn't my cousin's death be in vain?"
Wen Zhilan said at this time: "Father, I think Mr. Mo is right. How about Mr. Mo coming to investigate this matter?"
"Do you also think that Princess Wanyang should investigate this matter herself?" Wen Xize looked at Wen Zhilan.
Wen Zhilan replied: "Father, this matter is of great importance. It is a matter between Western Chu and Eastern Xia. Since Princess Wanyang is worried, why not investigate together? Otherwise, no one can tell in the end!
"
Wen Xize thought for a moment: "Then as you said, let Princess Wanyang, Mo Ziyu, and this businessman investigate this matter together. But there is a time limit, and it cannot be found out within a month.
That Wang Li was Princess Wanyang who you killed!"
Wen Xize was threatening Lian Zhi, but Lian Zhi was not afraid: "Follow the order!"
…
Wen Xize returned to the palace first, and Cheng Mingdong saw off the emperor. He felt that his legs were weak. It was so scary in the court just now. This Princess Wanyang was also powerful, and she actually dared to talk to Emperor Chu like that.
Mo Ziyu looked at Lian Zhi and said boldly: "Princess Wanyang, remember, you only have one month. After one month, neither the Mo family nor the Wang family will let you go."
Lian Zhi replied: "It's really strange to see how determined Mr. Mo is! After he came here, he didn't feel sad for his cousin, but just wanted to kill me. How is your relationship with your cousin?"
"Huh!" Mo Ziyu stopped talking and left directly.
Wen Yunxi looked worried: "Wanyang, what should I do? Can you find out within a month?"
"We have to investigate even if we can't find out." Now that the matter has come to this point, she can only move forward. Lian Zhi has no other choice. She can't leave others with something to say, otherwise she will never be able to gain a firm foothold in Xichu in the future. A suspected
How can a princess who has killed people last long?
Wen Yunxi begged her brother: "Brother Emperor, Brother Prince, you have to help Wanyang!"
"Third brother and I have helped Princess Wanyang just now, otherwise do you think my father would let Princess Wanyang investigate this matter so easily?" Wen Zhilan tapped Wen Yunxi's forehead, "You usually
You love to make mischief here, and now you are leading Princess Wanyang to make mischief. If you had not insisted on leaving the palace, how could something like this happen today?"
"I'm sorry, Wanyang." Wen Yunxi apologized to Lian Zhi, but Lian Zhi didn't take it to heart. Someone obviously wanted to harm her today. Since he wanted to harm her, he had to pass this test not only today but also tomorrow.
: "Don't think too much, I will find a way to do this."
"How about I investigate with you?" As soon as Wen Yunxi asked this question, Wen Zhilan patted her on the head: "I will help with this matter, but you will only be a disservice. Now,
You return to the palace immediately."
"Okay." Wen Yunxi could only agree.
"Forget it, I'll take you back in person to save you from messing around again." Wen Zhilan finally took Wen Yunxi back in person.
Lian Zhi, Wen Zhiyuan and Gu Shiqi walked in front, Su Yue followed from a distance.
"Princess Wanyang, are you trying to drag me into trouble?" Gu Shiqi returned to his joking appearance, as if he didn't take what just happened into consideration at all.
Lian Zhi asked back: "Aren't you dissatisfied with what I just said? Isn't this what you want?"
Only then did Wen Zhiyuan realize that Gu Shiqi was not simple: "What do you mean?"
Gu Shiqi also looked at Lian Zhi, waiting for what she would say next.
"You have long guessed that Yunxi and I have a different identity, so you deliberately approached us. But you didn't expect that things would reach the point where they are now, but for a person like you who likes to seize the opportunity to enter the court
, this is a crisis, but also a rare opportunity. At least just now, I made Emperor Chu notice you, didn't I? Emperor Chu admires your business ability, so Emperor Chu agreed to let you join the investigation, and he also wanted to
Examine you. Are you dissatisfied with this result?"
Gu Shiqi didn't expect someone to see him so clearly: "You are right. If you hadn't mentioned me just now, I would have taken the initiative to get the attention of Emperor Chu."
"We are all sensible people, and it is easy to do things only if we understand. So you don't need me to teach you how to investigate the case next, right?"
Gu Shiqi understood what Lian Zhi meant: "People like Wang Li have done too many wrong things, and they can always help us get rid of the suspicion, and they can also bring other people down. Princess Wanyang is really good at scheming, no wonder
Can become the princess of Eastern Xia!"
"Young Master Gu should have a lot of news. Whether you can escape this time depends on you." Looking at Lian Zhi's smiling face, Gu Shiqi knew that he had been tricked by Lian Zhi, but Lian Zhi did help.
He, this time he has accepted Lian Zhi's love, and he doesn't know how he will repay it in the future?
"The common people will go back first."
After Gu Shiqi left, Wen Zhiyuan and Lian Zhi slowly walked towards the palace together, Su Yue still following behind.
"Why should you help him?"
"Are you talking about Gu Shiqi? This man is very courageous and capable. It is only a matter of time before he enters the court. Since he will enter the court sooner or later, why don't I give him a push?"
"Do you think he will be of great use in the future?"
"Your Highness, when I first came to Xichu, I had nothing. You are the only one I can rely on, so I can live well only if your position is secure. Gu Shiqi is a person who should not be underestimated, even if he cannot become our
People can never become other people's people, do you understand?"
After Wen Zhiyuan heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "We haven't even gotten married yet, and you've already started making plans for our future?"
"I'm not kidding you."
"Actually, I saw it today. That Gu Shiqi is a person, but he has evil intentions and will do whatever it takes to achieve his goals. Can such a person become a member of our side?"
"It doesn't matter what kind of person he is, what matters is how to use such a person! You may have a lot of strength that you haven't revealed yet. I'm not curious about this. I just hope you don't underestimate anyone."
Wen Zhiyuan seemed to understand something: "I understand."
"By the way, I need to ask you a favor."
"What's up?"
"Can you help me look after the queen these days? I don't have many people around me who can help me. You should be able to do something, right?"
"Do you doubt the Queen?"
Lian Zhi bit her lip and said hesitantly: "I don't know why, but I always feel that this matter has something to do with the Queen. No matter what, you should pay more attention to the Queen's side."
"good."
…
Su Yue looked at Wen Zhiyuan and Lian Zhi who were walking in front of her. The afterglow of the setting sun shone on the two of them, lengthening their shadows, which were beautiful and warm.
