Chapter 71 Exchange Conditions
Gu Qingyou raised her eyebrows: "Young Master, why did you say that?"

After the man drank the last drop of mutton soup, he casually wiped his mouth with his sleeve: "This is not a place to talk. If you can trust me, young lady, can you find a secluded place to chat slowly?"

She is not familiar with the place of life, even if she has no brains, she will not go with a stranger, not to mention that this person is foolish and does not seem very reliable.

At first he wanted to ignore it, but his words hung in his mind again, he raised his eyes and looked around, then got up and walked towards a teahouse not far away: "Come with me."

When he arrived at the teahouse, Gu Qingyou deliberately chose a box on the second floor facing the street, and then opened the window so that people on the street could see the scene above.

Firstly, in order to ensure safety, and secondly, the lonely men and widows should avoid suspicion.

She didn't know why the man came, so she decided to wait and see what happened. After sitting down, she didn't rush to ask any more questions. Instead, she poured a cup of hot tea and slowly warmed her hands, waiting for the other person to speak first.

The man faded away his ruffian aura just now, and said seriously: "Young Madam, do you know why Song Zhi County arranged for the Duke's mansion to stay at the Kunyuan Inn?"

Without even thinking about it, Gu Qingyou said: "Of course it's because it's the most spacious and decent place."

The Duke's Mansion has an unusual family background, and Song Zhishu is not brainless. He must arrange the best accommodation for him. Does it matter?

The man asked again: "Then, does the young lady know who is the owner behind the inn?"

"I guess it's the guy who hit you just now. I heard the shopkeeper call him the young master, but I don't know him."

Gu Qingyou was confused by his continuous questions: "Can you just get to the point? I'm in a hurry."

The man stopped going around in circles, and said directly: "That's right, that man's name is Meng Yan, known as the young master of Xiguan, nicknamed 'Living Hades', and he is the master behind the Kunyuan Inn."

"Well, then what?"

Seeing that she didn't look surprised at all, the man asked suspiciously: "Could it be that the young lady doesn't know that his eldest sister is the most beloved Concubine Meng in the palace?"

Gu Qingyou was stunned for a moment, she is a newcomer, how could she know these people who are out of reach, so she nodded honestly: "I have never paid much attention to things other than the Duke's Mansion, I have never heard of it."

"Okay then~" the man waved his hand, "It doesn't matter if you don't know, I'll make a long story short."

It turned out that half a month ago, Concubine Meng Gui was found out to have cursed the queen with witchcraft, and was cast into the cold palace by the emperor. The second prince under her knee was implicated by it, and was sent to the fief overnight, and was not allowed to return to Beijing without an order.

The second prince is talented and intelligent, and has been favored by the emperor since he was a child. It can be said that he grew up next to the emperor, which is even incomparable to the eldest prince who was born in the first place.

Even because of these great honors, there have long been rumors in the outside world that the emperor intends to cultivate the second prince, and I am afraid that he has plans to establish a separate East Palace.

As a result, now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid that he has completely missed the throne.

Because of this, the matter was very involved, and the emperor issued a secret order, announcing that the second prince had contracted a serious illness and was going to seek medical treatment in the feudal land, while Meng Guifei also collapsed from worry and needed to rest in Ningfang Palace, and no one was allowed to disturb her.

Gu Qingyou was originally just curious about what he said had anything to do with the Duke's Mansion, but he couldn't help being suspicious when he heard this: "Since it's so secretive, where did you know it?"

The man looked furious, and squeezed his teacup tightly: "After this incident happened, Meng Guifei's father, the former royal historian Meng Zhuangzhou, almost broke through the threshold of all powerful officials who can speak in front of the imperial court.

But the technique of witchcraft is extraordinary, but anyone with a little brain knows that Meng Guifei has almost no chance of turning over. Taking action at this time is tantamount to seeking a dead end. Even those courtiers who had close contacts with the Meng family in the past chose to be wise and safe , keep a distance from them.

Her younger brother, Meng Yan, had had enough of shutting doors, and after listening to someone's suggestion, he took advantage of the draft after March to recruit beauties everywhere, preparing to present them to the emperor, with the intention of giving Concubine Meng Gui a boost in the palace. "

Gu Qingyou couldn't help frowning: "Is there something wrong with his mind?"

The crux of this incident still lies with Concubine Meng Gui. If she did not do this, shouldn't she be thinking about how to wash away her grievances now?Those who engage in these crooked ways feel guilty if they don't know!

The man said: "Thinking about it, there is no way out. After all, Concubine Meng Gui was once the emperor's most important person. Naturally, she will be lucky and hope that the emperor will still miss her old love. As long as it is not a capital crime, she will come out of the cold palace one day, but in the end How long, she doesn't want to bet, and she dare not bet."

Gu Qingyou agreed: "Since ancient times, emperors have been so lucky, and there are so many beauties in the harem, there is no guarantee that no one behind will capture the emperor's heart. It will be even more difficult for the emperor to think of her at that time."

The man analyzed: "Instead of this, it's better to control the show girl personally, so that no matter which one gets favored in the future, it will be a pawn of the Meng family, and Concubine Meng will still have a chance."

Gu Qingyou was secretly startled, trying to control all the show girls?
This Meng family is really whimsical. Since ancient times, the draft field has also been a game between the various forces in the DPRK and China. How can it be possible for their family to take over the whole situation?

The man was still speaking generously: "In order to find beauties, they have used all kinds of means. Many women are unwilling to enter the palace, but these people can always find all kinds of weaknesses and force others to submit. It is really unreasonable!"

In order to increase the chances of the show girls being selected, the selected girls were taken away by Meng Yan early on and sent to a special place to be guarded and trained secretly.

And among these women was his childhood sweetheart fiancee.

Gu Qingyou said: "The talent show is not a family matter, and now the emperor must be very wary of the Meng family, I'm afraid their wish will come true."

The man looked at her meaningfully: "So the young lady guessed why they are looking for the Duke's mansion?"

After all, theory and practice are two different things, Gu Qingyou thought for a moment, and guessed: "From this point of view, the Duke's Mansion should not directly ask the Duke's Mansion to intercede for Concubine Meng Gui."

The man nodded: "If the grass people guessed correctly, they want the Duke's Mansion to come forward and recommend a beautiful girl to the palace for the Meng family!"

In fact, when it came to this point, it was obvious that Song Zhishu had been an official in Xiguan for many years, and he must have a close relationship with the Meng family. It might be the Meng family's instruction to bring them to the Kunyuan Inn.

The man confirmed her guess, and said: "The surname Song is a parent official, but in order to curry favor with the dignitaries, he mistakenly mistaken himself as the lackey of the Meng family. This time the nobles will stay in the Kunyuan Inn, they have already discussed it."

He tracked Meng Yan all the way, came here from thousands of miles, accidentally bumped into him discussing the matter with Song Zhishu, and then deliberately went to the inn to make trouble, just to attract the attention of the nobles of the Duke's Mansion, and wanted to use the information he got in exchange to send His fiancée rescued him.
