The eldest lady has no taboos in what she does

That night, Luo Qi went to the palace overnight to ask for an audience with the regent, but he heard that Luo Qi stood outside the royal study for an hour without being able to see the regent.

Many people saw Luo Qizi's face full of anger when he left the palace, and then he took advantage of the night to go to Zhu's Mansion.

On this day, as soon as Gu Jiancheng arrived at the Qintian Prison, a servant came to tell him that the regent asked him to come over.

"The Prince Regent wants to see me?" Gu Jiancheng was surprised, thinking quickly in his mind whether he had done anything wrong.

Along the way, Gu Jiancheng was wondering if his recent behavior violated any taboos, and he couldn't figure out the reason until he reached the imperial study room.

"Please, Mr. Gu."

Gu Jiancheng calmed down and walked in.

"The next official sees the prince."

Yan Linyuan raised his head from the case and said, "Master Gu, please get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Mr. Gu should have heard about the case of leaked exam questions."

"Yes."

"Last night, Luo Shangshu came to the palace to tell me that Luo Ji's words and deeds were controlled by evil spirits. I didn't really believe it."

Gu Jiancheng raised his head in confusion.

Yan Linyuan continued: "What I mean is that I hope Master Gu can prove that Luo Ji was not attacked by any evil spirits when he cheated."

Gu Jiancheng understood and was stunned.

The regent really thinks highly of him. How capable he is!

Gu Jiancheng opened his mouth to refuse politely when he heard Yan Linyuan say: "Master Jiang submitted his resignation to this king a few days ago."

Gu Jiancheng was stunned.

"If Mr. Gu can handle this matter well, the position of chief prison officer will be suitable for you."

Gu Jiancheng was still a little distracted when he came out of the imperial study.

There was a time when he thought that he would never be able to be corrected in his life. After all, he was not the only deputy supervisor in Qintian Prison, and the other deputy supervisors all had deeper backgrounds than him.

The regent didn't find anyone else but him. This was to give him a chance to climb up!

After leaving the government office, Gu Jiancheng returned to his house and asked where Gu Mengyin was.

When he learned that Gu Mengyin was in the house in the afternoon, Gu Jiancheng couldn't wait any longer and went over to find her.

When Gu Jiancheng arrived at Gu Mengyin's yard, he saw her building a large cauldron in the center of the yard. At this time, thick smoke was billowing out of the cauldron, and the whole yard was smoky.

"Auntie, what are you doing?"

Gu Mengyin coughed due to being choked. When she walked out of the thick smoke, her face was all dark except for a pair of eyes that were as bright as pearls at night.

"Lian Yao Dan, just wait, it will be fine soon."

Gu Mengyin opened the lid of the cauldron, and a pungent smell surged out. Gu Jiancheng almost vomited to death.

"Auntie, why does this smell so bad?"

"Wow, this thing has eaten too many living souls. It's so sinful that it naturally stinks."

After finally mastering a red demon elixir, Gu Mengyin quickly put it away and asked her followers to carry the cauldron away.

"What's wrong, nephew? What do you want from me?"

Gu Jiancheng told Gu Mengyin that Yan Linyuan was looking for him.

"Berning asked you to go? How are you going to prove it?"

"The prince said that the Luo family will invite an enlightened Taoist priest, and that Taoist priest will prove that Luo Ji is innocent. What the prince asked me to do is to prove that Luo Ji is not innocent."

"When?"

"Just a day or two."

"Okay, I understand. When someone comes, just call me."

"Hey, okay."

"Little junior sister~~" As soon as Gu Jiancheng left, Jingchen ran in happily.

"Look what this is?" Jingchen waved the red rope in his hand with a look on his face asking for praise. Gu Mengyin glanced lazily, "What?"

Jingchen chuckled and said, "This is the marriage rope I went to Yuelao Temple to ask for for you." He said that he wanted to put it on Gu Mengyin.

Gu Mengyin hid her hand, "I don't want it. I won't marry unless Bai Ning does."

Jingchen frowned and said, "Little junior sister, please be obedient. Senior brother guarantees with ten catties of steamed buns that he is definitely not your rightful son."

"I do not believe."

"That pretty boy has a bad luck, he will defeat you..."

Before Jingchen finished speaking, his mouth was blocked by steamed buns.

Gu Mengyin stared at him with a sullen face, "Shut up."

Looking at Gu Mengyin's leaving figure, Jingchen sighed helplessly.

"He really isn't. Junior sister, why are you disobedient...Hey."

The night is getting late.

Gu Mengyin was about to go to sleep when she heard a rush of footsteps outside the door.

"Auntie, are you asleep? Someone came from the palace just now and said that the Taoist priests have arrived. The prince asked me to go there now."

As soon as Gu Jiancheng finished speaking, the door opened.

Gu Mengyin, neatly dressed, walked out and said, "Let's go."

The carriage was waiting outside the door.

After the two got on the carriage, they did not go in the direction of the palace, but arrived at a deserted open space in the city.

"Master Gu, we've arrived."

After the carriage stopped, Gu Mengyin jumped out of the carriage first and immediately saw an abandoned tower standing in the open space.

People were standing all around the clearing, and firelight was jumping everywhere.

Gu Mengyin's eyes turned and fell on Yan Linyuan.

"Berning."

Yan Linyuan was waiting under the tower. When he saw Gu Mengyin, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.

"Miss Gu is here too."

Gu Mengyin raised her lips and smiled, "Didn't you ask me to come?"

The corners of Yan Linyuan's lips curved slightly, and he knew she could understand.

"The people over there have arrived."

Gu Mengyin turned around and saw Chang Mei standing next to Luo Ji.

Luo Qi is also here.

"You really are such an experienced person."

Changmei also saw Gu Mengyin, and he smiled at her, "I'm so polite."

"Pindao has already seen Mr. Luo just now and made sure that he had indeed escaped from evil spirits before."

Gu Mengyin shook her head, "I don't believe it."

The long-browed smile deepened, "This little Taoist, if you want to determine whether a person has been contaminated by evil spirits, you need extremely advanced Taoism. The poor Taoist looks at the young Taoist, so he must not have practiced to that level yet." It’s normal to take one step and not see it for a while.”

Gu Mengyin seemed a little unconvinced and opened her eyes, "You mean your Taoism is more profound than mine, then do you dare to compete with me? If you lose, it will prove that what you just said is a lie. "

Changmei looked helpless as he said, "I don't want to bully a child. It doesn't matter, since the little Taoist wants to compete, then I will accompany you to the end."

"I wonder what the little Taoist priest wants to compete with?"

Gu Mengyin pointed at Luo Ji with her white hands, "Didn't you say that he was infected by evil spirits? Then I don't think evil spirits can get into him at all. If you can let evil spirits get close to him, even if I lose."

The smile on Changmei's face widened further, "Okay, then, the little Taoist priest should be more careful, lest evil spirits accidentally hurt him later."
