Chapter 121
Lu Jiuzheng's eyes flashed, and he pointed directly at Gu Yuqing and said, "Is Miss Gu trying to attack her heart?" After saying that, Lu Jiuzheng smiled scornfully, "Miss Gu is good at running a house, but if you want to use this method to manage the inner house, Come to interrogate me, Miss Gu, don’t you think you think too highly of yourself?”

Hearing this, Gu Yuqing smiled and said: "I think highly of myself, why should Mr. Lu rush to a conclusion? I won't beat around the bush with Mr. Lu, so why not tell you bluntly? You are where you are today because of the gift of Prince Duan." !”

Lu Jiuzheng's heart skipped a beat, his breath became a little impetuous, and he clenched his fists and said, "Miss Gu, do you think I will believe you when you say this? Prince Duan will never harm me."

Gu Yuqing immediately sneered, "No? Then let me tell you something. Mr. Lu will analyze it and tell me where I got the news."

Lu Jiuzheng looked at Gu Yuqing with knife-like eyes. He remained silent, but his heart became nervous and his breathing became faster and faster.

From when he was sent down to Dali Temple to when he was transferred from Dali Temple to the Ministry of Punishment, Prince Duan really never came to see him.

Even so, before Gu Yuqing appeared, he still firmly believed that he would survive this calamity safely and that Prince Duan would not leave him alone.

But the 13-year-old girl in front of him disturbed his originally peaceful heart.

Gu Yuqing stared at Lu Jiuzheng with cold eyes, and said slowly: "What Master Lu and Prince Duan want to do with the Ninth Prince should be a secret."

That day in the bamboo forest, Prince Duan asked about the Ninth Prince with such concern, but when Lu Jiuzheng mentioned that Concubine Xian hated the Ninth Prince, Prince Duan became angry because he felt that Concubine Xian did not have far-sighted views.

So what is this vision he talks about?

A "foresight" that involves the prince, Gu Yuqing can't think of anything other than seizing the legitimate son, not to mention that the ninth prince is still in such an embarrassing situation.

Looking at Lu Jiuzheng for a moment, Lu Jiuzheng's eyes suddenly turned horrified when he saw his words falling. Gu Yuqing knew that she had made the right bet.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a slight smile. Before Lu Jiuzheng could open his mouth, he added: "I might as well tell you the truth. Prince Duan has given up on the Ninth Prince. Now the person he is trying to support is His Highness the Second Prince."

"No matter how you look at it, supporting the Second Prince to ascend the throne is a shortcut. But with the Ninth Prince..." There was a slight pause in his tone, and after looking at Lu Jiuzheng for a moment, Gu Yuqing said, "With the Second Prince, there is a dead end."

Hearing this, Lu Jiuzheng immediately said: "Impossible! It is impossible for Prince Duan to support anyone!" His heart was agitated, but his tone was determined.

Xiao Duo, who was next door, couldn't help but shake his head. In this life, he and Prince Duan have been irreconcilable enemies. Gu Yuqing used this to lure Lu Jiuzheng into being fooled, fearing that he would be seeking his own death.

Thinking of this, Xiao Duo suddenly lost the desire to listen, but his body was still pressed against the wall, motionless, but his eyes were a little wandering.

Gu Yuqing smiled and said: "Why is it impossible? Everything in this world is subject to variables."

Lu Jiuzheng said coldly: "It seems that Miss Gu is here to interrogate His Highness the Second Prince. Miss Gu is a woman who wants to join the government?"

After saying this, Lu Jiuzheng seemed to have remembered something, laughed a few times, and said: "That's right, Gu Suyan died early and did not leave a son for Gu Zhen. Now Gu Zhen is living in a life of neither human nor ghost." Xunxianwendan, if you don't take a chance, I'm afraid that the Hehe Chinanhou Mansion will collapse in the future, it's really difficult for Miss Gu to have to spend so much time and energy at such a young age."

When Gu Yuqing heard that he actually called her mother and father by their first names, his tone was not only disrespectful but also filled with undisguised disdain and disdain, she was greatly annoyed at that time.

With clouds in his eyes, Gu Yuqing said: "Master, you don't want to think about your own situation, but you still have the time to worry about me here. I really want to thank Master Lu for your good intentions."

"Since Your Excellency does not believe that Prince Duan has surrendered to His Highness the Second Prince, then I would like to ask Your Excellency, why do I know that just a few days ago, Your Excellency proposed to Prince Duan to assassinate my father?"

Prince Duan wants to assassinate Gu Zhen?When Xiao Duo heard this, the desire that had just dissipated came back immediately.

The smile on Lu Jiuzheng's face suddenly stopped, and a look of panic finally appeared in his eyes, but he just tried hard to maintain his seemingly calm composure.

He mentioned to Prince Duan that the assassination of Gu Zhen happened only a few days ago, and it happened in the bamboo forest of Prince Duan's mansion where no one was around. How did Gu Yuqing know about it.

Except for Prince Duan who said it himself, how could others know.

Could it be... His heart felt as if he had been stabbed by a sharp knife? Lu Jiuzheng's eyes narrowed, and suddenly his pupils shrank again and again.

But a few days ago, didn't His Highness the Second Prince steal Prince Duan's letters to South Vietnam from his study and submit them to the Emperor?
Fortunately, the emperor's eunuch Mu Eunuch secretly hid those secret letters...

After thinking about it, Lu Jiuzheng came up with the answer.

Presumably, His Royal Highness the Second Prince did not submit all the secret letters, but kept some of them privately, just in case.

Now, the second prince probably used this part of the secret letter to threaten Prince Duan.

In order to protect himself, Prince Duan did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to express his sincerity to the second prince...it must be so, it must be.

After getting the answer, Lu Jiuzheng's face immediately turned gray, "Why are you telling me this, what is your purpose!" He was so excited just now, but now he was like a dying man, lifeless.

Gu Yuqing didn't know about the secret letter, so she naturally didn't know what Lu Jiuzheng was thinking. She just saw the look of death on Lu Jiuzheng's face and knew that he believed her words.

"I tell you this because I want you to know that there is no escape route you thought you had. If you want to get out of this prison, you can only rely on me." Gu Yuqing said coldly.

"On you?" When Lu Jiuzheng heard this, he suddenly laughed maniacally. After the laughter, he said sadly: "On you, it's better to commit suicide. That would be a more comfortable death. Since you already know that I want to kill your father, you Will give me a way to survive!"

Gu Yuqing smiled and said, "Why not? Now and then, when you were working for Prince Duan, you were naturally thinking about him. At that time, it was only human nature to want to kill my father. After all, my father had insight into your unknown secrets." Act." The drooped eyelids concealed the cold light in her eyes, which was like ice particles.

"But it's different now. You have been abandoned by Prince Duan. If you want to protect yourself, you must show your value." After speaking, Gu Yuqing paused for a moment and then said: "Now Prince Duan Surrender to His Highness the Second Prince, but what kind of person he is, how can the Second Prince trust him to use him, so this is your only chance to survive."

A gleam of hope appeared in Lu Jiuzheng's eyes, "His Royal Highness the Second Prince wants me to tell the secret of Prince Duan, do you want to use this to hold him?"

Gu Yuqing nodded, "That's right."

Lu Jiuzheng asked doubtfully: "But doesn't the second prince already have the most powerful thing to threaten Prince Duan? Is it possible that with those secret letters, the second prince is still not at ease?"
