Chapter 273 Is Gu Gu a person with a small stomach?
Chapter 273: How can I be a small-minded person?
The next day, inside the Prince's Mansion.
All in all, there are still three days until Jimoshu's family comes to the banquet...
At noon, Prince Liu Lang came back from the palace. He spent the whole morning in the imperial study room, discussing state affairs with his father and several ministers.
As soon as he entered the house, the Crown Princess came over. She first changed her husband's court clothes, and then brought tea and snacks to the Prince to satisfy his hunger. She didn't say a word during the whole process.
Liu Lang sat down, took a sip of tea and some snacks, raised his eyes to look at Zhao Li's face, and then asked, "If you have anything to say, just tell me..."
Zhao Li smiled lightly and said: "Your Highness has a sharp eye, I really have something to discuss with Your Highness..."
Liu Lang raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Don't do this, you deliberately put on this look, didn't you just lure me to ask the question? Now that I have asked, you still don't say anything?"
After saying that, Liu Lang took another sip of tea.
Zhao Li came to sit next to Liu Lang and said softly: "Your Highness, in three days it will be the day to entertain the Jimo High Priest and his family. I have something I want to discuss with Your Highness..."
"What's the matter?" Liu Lang stuffed another mouthful of snacks and started chewing.
Zhao Li felt that it was inappropriate to mention Chai Yan directly, so he changed the starting point: "Your Highness, the eldest brother of the previous concubine was almost killed by a witch in Yayuan. Thanks to Chai Yan's presence at the time, the crisis was resolved.
, saved my eldest brother, and also saved the lives of everyone in the family..."
Liu Lang raised the corner of his mouth and said: "I understand, what you want to say has something to do with that Chai Yan, right?"
Zhao Li nodded lightly and said to Liu Lang: "Your Highness, Chai Yan saved my eldest brother twice. I don't know how to thank him..."
"Is this kind of thing difficult?" Liu Lang asked puzzledly: "He can give him whatever he wants, including gold, silver, jewelry, houses and property. It's not like your eldest brother can't afford it!"
Zhao Li said: "Your Highness, I don't know, these elder brothers have already said it, but Chai Yan doesn't want it..."
"No? Then what does he want?" Liu Lang paused and immediately thought about it: "I know, he wants to be promoted, right?"
Immediately, Liu Lang said again: "I remember you said that he is just a secretary at the moment... In this way, promote him to a secretary! How about this, this is not treating him badly, right?"
Being directly promoted from a clerk to a provost is equivalent to being promoted three levels in a row. Such a good thing is something that ordinary people can't even dream of.
Zhao Li said, "Your Highness, Chai Yan doesn't want to be promoted, he just wants to ask you for a favor..."
Liu Lang struggled to explain: "Gu Nenggong has just said that! He doesn't want this or that. What does he want? Does Gu have to find someone to pick up the stars and the moon for him?"
"No, Your Highness. Actually... Chai Yan just wants to meet someone..." Zhao Li kept paying attention to Liu Lang's face when he spoke.
"Meeting someone?" Liu Lang asked seriously, "Who are you meeting?"
Zhao Li said: "The eldest daughter of the Jimo High Priest has just been found, and the Jimo You whom His Highness will soon recognize as his adopted sister!"
"Meet her?" Liu Lang thought about it carefully and thought there was something wrong, so he said, "Li'er, Chai Yan met Jimo You. He should have gone to seek help from the high priest of Jimo. How did he find himself here?"
"Your Highness, this is what happened..."
The next time, Zhao Li told Liu Lang what happened between Chai Yan and Jimo You, and explained that because Jimosu did not allow them to meet, Zhao Li asked him to come here through his eldest brother.
Liu Lang was very surprised after hearing this: "He actually doesn't want anything, just to see Jimo You?"
"That's true, Your Highness!" Zhao Li said with admiration: "Chai Yan said this to me personally. I think that this person has outstanding abilities and values love and justice, and he will be a good helper for Your Highness in the future.
"
Liu Lang thought deeply: "Li'er, what do you mean, take this opportunity to win over Chai Yan and let him do his best to serve Gu in the future?"
"Isn't this bad?" Zhao Li asked deliberately: "Is His Highness still annoyed with him about what happened that day?"
Liu Lang smiled disdainfully: "What a joke, how can I be a small-minded person?"
Zhao Li secretly laughed in his heart, but his face remained serious, and said: "So, Your Highness agrees to let the two of them meet for a little while?"
Liu Lang said with a serious smile: "Can I disagree? Chai Yan has helped your elder brother twice. If Gu is not even willing to help with this small favor, then it seems that Gu is too unkind...
.”
"Thank you, Your Highness!" Zhao Li stood up and bowed, smiling at the same time.
Liu Lang warned again: "Li'er, you can help them meet, but remember, the meeting must not be too long, and the matter must be kept strictly confidential, especially the high priest of Jimo cannot know about it. Do you understand?"
"I understand, I will definitely make the arrangements properly. Please keep your heart in mind, Your Highness!" Zhao Li responded.
Liu Lang believed Zhao Li and stopped asking about the matter.
Then, Liu Lang changed the topic and asked: "Li'er, has there been any progress on the Yayuan matter?"
Zhao Li shook his head and said with a sad look: "Not yet, the clues are all gone. The origin of those two demon girls cannot be found for the time being..."
Liu Lang smiled coldly: "Actually, you can guess who did it without searching for a man, but everything must be based on evidence. Without evidence, anything you say is meaningless!"
Zhao Li nodded heavily.
"Li'er, your brother's investigation cannot be stopped. Continue the investigation to find out as much as you can! In addition, Gu has sent experts to protect him secretly. You can pass a message to Gu and say don't go to those fireworks during extraordinary times.
It’s time to stay at home and spend time with your wife and children!”
"I understand, Your Highness. I must convey the message as soon as possible!" Zhao Li responded.
-------------------
Just after You hour in the afternoon, Zhao Cong's people came to invite Chai Yan.
Chai Yan knew that there must be a reply from the Crown Princess, so he quickly followed the people from the Zhao family into the car and left.
Just an hour ago, the Crown Princess had just left. As long as His Highness the Crown Prince was here, Zhao Cong would not be able to go out, so he had to entertain guests at home.
In the flower hall, Chai Yan and Zhao Cong took their seats.
Zhao Congping stepped back and said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, you really got it right. The people sent by my brother reported that Xiao and Lu have died in prison, and the cause of death is unknown!"
"Sure enough, he was still silenced..." Chai Yan secretly thought, it seems that the two incidents are indeed the same mastermind.
Then, Chai Yan asked about the progress of the investigation into the Yayuan incident. Zhao Cong responded by shaking his head and shrugging, saying that the matter was not that easy to investigate.
Zhao Cong suddenly raised his glass and said: "Brother, let's not talk about those bad things! Come on, let's have a drink first to celebrate that you two lovers are about to meet!"
With that said, Zhao Cong drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp.
