After listening to Gu Hanzhang's explanation, Chaoli's expression still did not improve at all. Instead, he looked warily at the calm man opposite him.
"Why help me?"
If it were her previous life, Gu Hanzhang would definitely not help her. Even if she begged Gu Hanzhang, Gu Hanzhang would find her troublesome and would not take the initiative to give her any help.
This person seems to be a little abnormal in this life, and he shouldn't be like this.
Gu Hanzhang glanced at Chaoli lightly, "The person you found was not safe, and Qin Feng happened to find it. If it weren't for Qin Feng's help, you could easily have alerted the enemy and implicated the Hou Mansion."
After hearing Gu Hanzhang's explanation, Chaoli felt relieved.
Yes, if Gu Hanzhang can take the initiative to help, it must be related to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and it cannot be for her sake.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Chao Li accepted it calmly.
Gu Hanzhang said without moving his eyebrows, "No need to say thank you."
"I thank the Crown Prince not only for the Chen Zhao incident, but also for the palace banquet in the palace yesterday. I also thank the Crown Prince for saving me from fire and water, and for detoxifying me. I just don't know what kind of antidote the Crown Prince used.
The pills are fragrant and sweet in the mouth, I seem to have tasted them somewhere." Chaoli tilted his head and said.
At this moment, she didn't think about why Gu Hanzhang didn't need to detoxify her, but it was the best thing that the two of them were not involved now.
If Gu Hanzhang really used his own body to detoxify, this amount of time would definitely not be enough in terms of the amount of time Gu Hanzhang spent with her in his previous life.
No matter how it is now, the two of them are still innocent.
Gu Hanzhang raised his eyebrows slightly, "You must have never tasted it."
There is only one in Daqi now, and it is impossible for Chaoli to have eaten it. After all, even he himself is not willing to eat it.
Chaoli didn't think much about it. Since Gu Hanzhang said it was impossible, she must have never eaten it, but she felt that she had really tasted it somewhere, but she couldn't recall it.
It seems that there is some deviation in memory, but Chaoli did not delve into the reason.
"Let's not talk about it for now. According to what the Crown Prince just said, since Chen Zhao has been so cautious recently, why not just make a plan to get Chen Zhao to take the bait?" Chaoli changed the subject.
Gu Hanzhang didn't dwell on Chaoli's words just now, mistakenly thinking that she had made a mistake.
In fact, he didn't know what the heavenly fragrant cardamom tasted like. It might be slightly similar to some other foods Chaoli had eaten, so Chaoli thought it was understandable that he had tasted it.
"Yeah." Gu Hanzhang nodded.
Chaoli pursed his lips and looked at Gu Hanzhang rather uncomfortably.
"Then, Prince, can you lend me a person?"
Since the person she asked Qing Yi to find was discovered by Gu Hanzhang, it is entirely possible that he will be discovered by other people. I am afraid that only Gu Hanzhang's people are the most suitable.
I just don’t know if he would find it troublesome and wouldn’t want to lend someone to her?
In Chao Li's uneasiness, Gu Hanzhang uttered one word from his thin lips.
"Can."
Chaoli breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
The two of them were speechless. Chaoli secretly thought about how to design Chen Zhao, and Gu Hanzhang closed his eyes and fell asleep, each thinking.
The carriage stopped not long after, Gu Hanzhang opened his eyes and got out of the carriage first.
Qing Yi stood on the other side, reaching out to help Chaoli down.
The two of them went back to their houses without saying anything more.
Chaoli sat at the table, her eyes moved slightly, and she saw the needles and threads she used today on the table. She looked around randomly, but did not see the silk handkerchief she embroidered.
"Qingyi, where is the silk handkerchief I embroidered this morning?" Chaoli asked.
Qing Yi took some silver wire carbon to replace it. When he heard Chao Li's question, he turned to look at the needlework on the table and shook his head.
"I didn't see it. Lan Xin put these on the corridor at the door. The slaves brought them in. No one should dare to touch the lady's things." Qing Yi replied.
Chaoli didn't think much about it, "Maybe there was a wind blowing today, and the silk handkerchief was not pressed down. It was blown away by the wind, and I don't know where it fell. I just embroidered it again. Anyway, the silk handkerchief was nothing."
It doesn’t matter if you lose the mark.”
Qing Yi nodded, "Miss, that's right."
As for the accidentally lost silk handkerchief, Chaoli didn't care about it. After all, it wasn't a valuable thing. Besides, it didn't have her name embroidered on it, so she wasn't afraid of people using it to make a fuss about it.
Chaoli lay down after washing himself and fell asleep soon after.
Early the next morning, Chaoli was woken up by Qing Yi's knock on the door.
"What's the matter?"
Chaoli asked and stood up.
Qing Yi's voice sounded outside the house, "Miss, the prince has sent a pair of brothers and sisters here, saying they are for the young lady."
"I know, let them wait for a moment, Qing Yi will come in first to help me dress up." Chao Li said.
Gu Hanzhang gave away a pair of brothers and sisters?
Chaoli remembered that Gu Hanzhang seemed to have only a brother and sister among his subordinates.
With a strange mood, after Chaoli dressed up and before breakfast, she asked Qing Yi to call the brother and sister sent by Gu Hanzhang to the front hall.
Seeing the two of them, Chaoli's expression was quite complicated.
Sure enough, it was the brother and sister she had guessed.
However, these two people should be Gu Hanzhang's right-hand men who were kept in the dark. Why would he send these two people here?
"My subordinates, Pei Qian and Pei Yu, have met my master." The brother and sister saluted Chaoli at the same time.
Chaoli frowned, "Why do you call me master?"
Pei Qian looked at Chaoli respectfully with a serious face.
"Back to the master, our former master, the Crown Prince, has given us to you, so you are our master. If there is something to be done outside, the master can directly instruct his subordinates. The subordinate's sister Pei Yu will serve the master
By your side, Master treats her as a maid. Master, please rest assured that we both have martial arts and can protect you."
Hearing what Pei Qian said, Chaoli really didn't know what to say.
With the memories of his previous life still there, Chaoli remembered clearly the importance of these brothers and sisters to Gu Hanzhang.
Although Pei Qian's name is not very nice, it sounds like he is losing money, but his skills are very good, and his sister Pei Yu is no less generous.
I still remember Qin Feng mentioned in his previous life that when Gu Hanzhang was eighteen years old, he was in danger once, and it was Pei Qian and Pei Yu, brothers and sisters, who went deep into the tiger's den to rescue him.
Now, how could he give these two siblings to her so easily?
"No, please go back. You are more useful to the Crown Prince. I, a woman in the backyard, don't need it." Chaoli refused.
When the brother and sister heard this, they looked at each other and knelt down together.
"Please master, please take me in. We have been given to you by the prince. We will have nothing to do with him in the future. I hope the master will keep us," Pei Qian requested.
"Yes, Master, please keep us. We will not disappoint you. We are no longer the prince's subordinates." Pei Yu also said.
Seeing this, Chaoli fell silent again. Her original intention was to let him borrow someone to deal with Chen Zhao, just as he said, to make a plan so that Song Lingxin and Aunt Cen could see his true face as soon as possible and not discuss marriage.
In the end, Gu Hanzhang was willing to give her his capable men, and these two people were really sincere and capable.
After thinking for a long time, Chao Li nodded in agreement.
