After Feng Yunsu had been gone for several days, Gu Linqiao realized that his surroundings were much emptier.

I didn't feel it before, but now I can really feel the change.

Jiji looked at Gu Linqiao as if she was an enemy these past two days. Even in Gu Yun's room, she didn't give Gu Linqiao a good look.

Gu Linqiao was too lazy to pay attention to him and focused on checking Gu Yun's condition. Fortunately, Gu Yun was getting better day by day, which made Gu Linqiao feel much more at ease.

After all, if he is good, Feng Yunsu will not be bad either.

Liang Shuzhen had a mixture of joy and sorrow on her face. She was happy for Gu Yun, but also worried about Gu Linqiao.But whenever she brought this matter up in advance, Gu Linqiao reassured her that she had her own sense of discretion.

The weather is getting cooler and winter is coming.

Gu Linqiao sat on the roof, looking into the distance.

Jiji stood in the yard and looked at her sitting on it. He didn't want to pay attention and turned around to leave.But after a while, he came back again, holding a cloak in his hand.

He quickly climbed up to the roof and threw his cloak roughly on Gu Linqiao's shoulders.

Gu Linqiao looked at him doubtfully and said, "You sit here and blow the wind. What if you get sick and infect my father?"

"It only takes a while, it won't be blown."

Although Gu Linqiao said this, he still put on his cloak.

Seeing her like this, Jiji's face looked better.

"What are you doing sitting here? Looking at the scenery or people?"

Gigi walked over and sat down one meter away from her.

Gu Linqiao said, "Look at everything."

Jiji snorted dissatisfied, "You are so greedy."

Gu Linqiao replied, "Man is born greedy."

Jiji curled her lips and said, "I know who you are looking at here, but they have gone a long way and can't be seen from here. It's better to sleep if you have the time."

"Are you sleep deprived?"

"No shortage, I'm worried about the young master and can't sleep."

"Prescribe you some side medicine?"

"it is good."

Jiji agreed happily, and Gu Linqiao smiled, "Aren't you afraid that I will poison you?"

Jiji shook his head, "Don't be afraid. If I die, the young master will definitely settle the score with you. As long as the young master turns against you, the young master's life will be easier."

"I'm happy to sacrifice myself so that my son can live a better life."

Gu Linqiao was speechless, "You are such a good person!"

"I also think that I am a good person, and my young master is also a good person."

After the words fell, Gu Linqiao stopped answering, and the chat between the two came to an abrupt end.

Jiji and Gu Linqiao looked at the sky together, but after a while, Gu Linqiao suddenly stood up, and then flew off the roof.

Jiji hurriedly followed up. He was also very fast, but he failed to catch up with Gu Linqiao and was directly locked out by her.

Jiji pouted angrily, but there was nothing she could do, so she turned around and sat on the steps.

The mansion was so boring, and everyone was gone. The young master was gone, and so were the annoying Situ and Ming Luo.

Apart from his father's place, he could only find some sense of presence around Gu Linqiao, which was really boring.

Jiji was bored outside the house, while Gu Linqiao met someone in the house with a serious expression.

"You are so brave, you dare to break into Gu's house in broad daylight."

"I think the princess will definitely not expose me, so it should be safer during the day than at night."

The visitor took off his hat and revealed his face. It was Zhao Ying who had left and returned.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?"

Gu Linqiao sat on the stool, folding his hands, looking relaxed.

Zhao Ying was really rude and said directly, "In two days, my sister will send something out of the palace and ask the princess for help."

Gu Linqiao asked, "Why should I help?"

Zhao Ying said, "I said please!" Therefore, he took the risk to return to Kyoto City to ask for help.

Gu Linqiao asked again, "What did your sister send you? Don't tell me it's something that's going to mess with your head. Are you trying to get me involved on purpose to trick me?"

Zhao Ying said truthfully, "Silver, food and grass are things to support the soldiers on the border."

"What do you need my help with?"

Gu Linqiao was very puzzled, "These are military supplies for the imperial court, and the emperor will take them seriously. Could it be that your sister got these things from improper sources?"

"After my sister became a concubine, she helped to manage the Sixth Palace like a noble concubine. These things are the surplus she got from various items in the palace."

After listening to Zhao Ying's words, Gu Linqiao laughed and said, "How much can the palace save? Mr. Zhao, is your body included in this?"

Zhao Ying said nothing, but her eyes were steady, and it was obvious that she was right.

Gu Linqiao's expression changed, "You are secretly preparing food and fodder behind the Emperor's back. What do you want to do? Rebellion?"

Faced with her doubts, Zhao Ying did not panic at all, "It's just a matter of planning for a rainy day. Isn't it the same with the princess?"

"What did you say?"

Gu Linqiao's eyes were sharp, while Zhao Ying's expression was calm, "The princess should know very well what I said."

Gu Linqiao looked murderous, and Zhao Ying suddenly laughed, and then said, "I have no intention of blackmailing the princess, I just want to discuss a deal with the princess again. This time the princess will help me. If the princess is of any use in the future, I can help you." I will do my best next time.”

Gu Linqiao raised his eyebrows and said, "You can use it now."

Zhao Ying asked curiously, "What does the princess want to do?"

Gu Linqiao said word for word, "Kill Zhao Liquan."

She said it very seriously, but Zhao Ying did not take it seriously and said with a relaxed expression, "Sorry, I can't kill him."

Gu Linqiao sneered and asked, "Is it because I can't kill him, or are you afraid to do it?"

Zhao Ying said calmly, "I can't kill her, and the princess can't be killed either, otherwise many people will die."

Gu Linqiao stared at him and said, "Do these dead people have anything to do with you?"

Zhao Ying pondered for a moment, and then said, "Probably, but it also has something to do with the princess."

After finishing her words, Zhao Ying said earnestly, "Live well for the sake of the people around you. Just endure it for now. Only when you are alive can you have hope."

Gu Linqiao paused for a while and said, "I promise to help you, but there are conditions."

Zhao Ying said directly, "One third of the food and grass belongs to the King of Qi."

He was so happy that Gu Linqiao had nothing to say, "That's it, you can leave."

Zhao Ying turned around and left without hesitation.

After leaving the door, he bumped into Jiji head-on. Zhao Ying didn't say anything, and Jiji didn't ask any questions. He turned to look aside, and Zhao Ying walked straight past him.

After a while, Gu Linqiao also walked out of the room.

Jiji caught up and said, "That person just now looked familiar to me."

Gu Linqiao said without changing his expression, "You are wrong."

Jiji shook his head, "I'm right, I've beaten his family members to death."

Gu Linqiao looked at Jiji and said coldly, "I said you saw it wrong, you just saw it wrong."

Jiji was startled for a moment, then said 'oh', "Then I saw it wrong."

Gu Linqiao turned around and left. Jiji followed behind and said, "Is there anything you need to do? I can do it for you!"

Gu Linqiao asked, "Are you bored?"

Jiji nodded heavily, "Yeah!"

Gu Linqiao, "Then go to the backyard and chop the firewood!"

Jiji looked shocked, "Huh?"

"Ah what? Aren't you bored?"

"But I don't want to chop wood."

"Then go pick shit."

"I'd better chop wood!"
