Chapter 20 Acting Brainlessly
"Where are you going?"

Bai Feng hadn't gone far when Situ suddenly appeared and blocked his way.

Bai Feng was a little strange, "Why are you here?"

Situ said, "I was passing by and saw you in a hurry, so I asked."

"I have something to see the princess, and I don't have time to explain it to you now."

After Bai Feng finished speaking, Situ said, "If you go to see the princess, I just want to tell you one more thing. The princess is resting and Ming Luo is on business. You'd better not go anywhere."

Bai Feng looked at him suspiciously, "How do you know about the princess?"

"The princess was coming back just now, and I happened to meet her."

And not only did he meet her, he also saw the princess leaving the palace, but she walked to the roof instead of the main entrance.

The rumored princess is an ugly and stupid idiot, but now it seems that the princess is not only not ugly nor stupid, she is also good at martial arts and medicine. I don’t know what is going on with the Gu family, so they don’t favor such a pearl. Instead, he pampered a concubine who was not worthy of publicity, and now he is notorious and disliked by people in Kyoto.

Bai Feng looked Situ up and down, his eyes made Situ extremely uncomfortable, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Bai Feng said, "It's just a look, can't you look at it?"

Situ choked and said nothing.

Bai Feng continued to ask, "Did you hear what the Seventh Prince just said?"

Situ was stunned, he really didn't hear it, he just happened to meet him.

However, Bai Feng didn't wait for him to explain and asked directly, "Are you the same as Ming Luo, who thinks what I did is wrong? I am doing it for the good of the prince!"

Situ had a dark look on his face, "What did you do?"

Bai Feng said, "I'm going to see the princess for comment. It's not her turn to get involved in the matter between the prince and Miss Ziye."

Situ almost vomited blood, "When did the princess interfere in the prince's affairs? What are you thinking about all day long? Besides, it is your turn to interfere in the prince's private affairs?"

Bai Feng asked, "How do you know the princess didn't interfere?"

Situ thought for a moment and asked, "The seventh prince told you just now that the princess has interfered in the prince's affairs?"

"No."

"Then how did you know?"

Bai Feng repeated Feng Chengxuan's words truthfully. After listening to this, Situ rolled his eyes at him and said, "The seventh prince didn't say anything. How did you judge that the princess had interfered in the prince's private affairs?"

Bai Feng said, "Isn't it because she is unhappy that she doesn't want Miss Ziye and the prince to get along well? How can she not interfere?"

Situ snorted, "I don't know where my brain has grown after so many years. The princess can be found guilty without doing anything. If you go to settle the lawsuit, you don't know how many unjust, false and wrong cases will be found."

"Situ!" Bai Feng clenched his fists instantly. He was very dissatisfied with Situ's evaluation of him.

Old God Situ said sincerely, "In my opinion, it is impossible for the princess to do the kind of 'mindless thing' you think, so I advise you to mind your own business."

"Why do you think so?"

"Based on the way the princess handles things, I think so."

"Are you so sure? You don't know the princess's reputation. Aren't you afraid that the princess will cure the prince and make you lose your place in the palace?"

Bai Feng's tone gradually became sharper, which made Situ a little displeased, "Bai Feng, don't make such malicious speculations. If the princess were such a person, she would not give me the silver needle today..." Bai Feng looked like he suddenly understood, "Oh, It turns out that a set of silver needles bought you off."

Situ's face suddenly darkened and he said in a displeased tone, "I have nothing to say to a person like you. If it weren't for the fact that your brother risked his life for the prince back then, just with your brain, you would do it in the name of doing good for the prince. If you are nosy here, it is impossible for the prince to keep you, and the guards must have the consciousness of being a guard, instead of acting based on your wanton speculation. Sooner or later, your behavior will cause others to die for you."

After saying that, Situ left directly, unwilling to talk nonsense with him.

If his brother hadn't been kind to everyone, Bai Feng's behavior would have made it impossible for him to deal with him.

……

After Gu Linqiao came out of the palace, he first walked around the city in disguise, and then went straight out of the city to a ruined temple outside the city.

Gu Linqiao was dressed in men's clothing and satin, dressed like a nobleman. As soon as he entered the ruined temple, he immediately attracted the attention of the people inside. After a while, Gu Linqiao was surrounded by many beggars.

There were everyone from old to young, holding broken bowls and kowtowing to her with dirty hands.

"Your Majesty, please show your kindness and provide me with a way to survive."

"Good Samaritan, please give me some steamed bun money."

They first begged and saw Gu Linqiao standing motionless. Some of them were brave enough to stand up and approach her, trying to pull her clothes off. But before his dirty hands could get close, Gu Linqiao kicked her away. The man was kicked more than a meter away and hit several beggars.

Gu Linqiao's extraordinary move made these people instantly understand that Gu Linqiao was not someone to be trifled with, and they shrank in fear.

Seeing that they were honest, Gu Linqiao took out her money bag and a copper plate to signal them to come to her one by one to receive the money. But while taking the copper plate, she also took out a piece of paper and asked them to read the words. .

Those who can read will get one copper plate for each word, and those who can't read will only get one copper plate.

Everyone recognized each other, most of them were illiterate, some barely knew a few words, but no one could read out a complete sentence. Finally, Gu Linqiao picked a young boy who knew a few words. An illiterate woman in her early forties.

The young man became a beggar because he was ill, and the woman became a beggar because she had fled the flood.

Gu Linqiao brought the two people into the city and found a small courtyard for them to live in. All their food, clothing, housing and transportation were arranged. This move frightened the young man and the woman, and they knelt down in front of Gu Linqiao to call their benefactor.

Gu Linqiao threw a piece of paper to the boy, and the boy stuttered out the words on it, roughly understanding Gu Linqiao's intention.

Gu Linqiao changed the boy's name to Arthur, and the woman's name to Feiniang. From now on, the two of them will treat each other as master and servant.

"Master, what can Arthur do for you now?"

When Gu Linqiao left, Arthur took the initiative to speak. The young man's immature face was full of expectation, wanting to do things for her immediately and prove his worth.

He has been in such a state of desperation that he has already seen clearly the warmth and coldness of the world. Now that someone is interested in him, he must seize this opportunity tightly.

"Master, if you have any orders, just tell me, and I will do my best to do it." Feiniang also quickly expressed her attitude, fearing that she would be left alone and return to the ruined temple to be a beggar.

However, Gu Linqiao didn't ask them to do anything. He just asked Arthur to rest in peace and recuperate. It would be a long time and he would have nothing to do.

And she still needs some time to examine these two people to see if they can be of great use.

Gu Linqiao left the small courtyard and walked deep into the alley. Another person walked out from the corner. Gu Linqiao took out a small bag of silver and threw it directly to him.

The man caught it with both hands and said with a flattering look on his face, "Master, don't worry, I will definitely do whatever you asked me to do."

Gu Linqiao nodded slightly and left directly.
