The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

"Is it possible that Gu Zhiqing still has contact with his biological father?" Zuo Xiangning asked with interest.

Zhang Rui said: "The yamen official couldn't tell clearly. He only said that it seemed to be there."

"How much money did you give to the yamen servant? Let Panxia give it to you." Zuo Xiangning asked Panxia to get twenty taels of silver for Zhang Ruido, "Don't let others do things for you in vain."

Zhang Rui answered with a smile.

After Zhang Rui left, Zuo Xiangning chuckled.

He asked people to place the jewelry brought by the eldest princess on the table and looked at them one by one. He couldn't help but sigh: "The eldest princess is really favored."

But she was also secretly puzzled.

She has so many good things, why does she still care so much about that jade pendant?

"Put these things away. They will have to be returned in a few days." Zuo Xiangning smiled and asked someone to get hot water.

She was soaking in the steaming tub in the clean room, humming an unknown ditty happily.

Regardless of whether Gu Zhiqing's story is true or false, it is enough for Gu Zhiqing to drink from a pot.

At night, Ling Xiao, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, walked in from outside.

Zuo Xiangning walked up to him with a smile, "Why did you come here so early today?"

Ling Xiao took off his shirt, and Zuo Xiangning hurriedly reached out to take it and put it on the hanger next to her.

"You seem to be in a good mood." Ling Xiao asked with a smile.

"It's been so lively outside these two days, so I'm naturally in a good mood." Zuo Xiangning smiled, poured him a cup of tea, and asked with a smile, "Did you do it?"

"You are the only one who is smart." Ling Xiao pointed at the tip of her nose and said with a smile, "Let him know the heights of the world!"

"Is this true or false?" Zuo Xiangning asked doubtfully, "Is he the eldest princess's son?"

"Whether it is or not, he has no choice but to be wrong now." Ling Xiao looked at Zuo Xiangning's bright big eyes and said, "The first thing he should suspect is you. Don't go out these days. If you go out, be sure to put ice on it." Yudai is by your side, where is Bingyun? Call her back too, those people in your other courtyard have been trained by me, and they can be used as long as they are taught the rules."

"Yes." Zuo Xiangning nodded in agreement, and then said: "I always feel that the emperor seems to be special to Gu Zhiqing. What has he done for the emperor? To make the emperor treat him so well."

"He has a cousin who is said to be able to do fortune-telling and calculation. When the emperor left the palace in private, they were deliberately led to see this cousin. He gave the emperor a fortune-telling, which was extremely accurate. He also said that the emperor's descendants There, there was a man who was talented, intelligent and virtuous. The emperor was very interested and asked all the princes. The cousin all shook his head. The emperor finally told the newborn prince's horoscope, and his cousin asked him. Say, this is the child." Ling Xiao whispered: "The emperor was finally able to establish the second prince as the new emperor, and cousin Gu Zhiqing played a decisive role in it, and as reward, the emperor gave him his own private team of bodyguards. Leave it to Gu Zhiqing, who will be responsible for inquiring into the movements of various prefectures in Beijing."

Ling Xiao paused for a moment before saying, "Among the people Gu Zhiqing sent to hunt you, I have checked that some of them are hired killers in the world, but I can't find out the way to the other people." , Logically speaking, he should not dare to use the emperor’s guards at will.”

"What about the eldest princess? Could she be hers?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"The eldest princess?" Ling Xiao really had never checked on the eldest princess.

"The eldest princess may not be as low-key as everyone thinks." Zuo Xiangning said.

"Then don't go to the eldest princess's mansion again." Ling Xiao said.

Zuo Xiangning nodded and agreed, "I won't go there in the future."

Ling Xiao came out of Zuofu and was stopped at the intersection.

"Master Hou is so interested in wandering here in the middle of the night." Gu Zhiqing looked at Ling Xiao, looking like he wanted to eat him.

Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Master Gu didn't sleep either. What a coincidence." "The Marquis's Mansion in Jingyuan is in the east of the city. Why did the Marquis run to the west of the city in the middle of the night?" Gu Zhiqing asked.

"Walking around doesn't distinguish between things." Ling Xiao replied with a smile.

Although Gu Zhiqing couldn't see Ling Xiao's face, his slightly raised lips and joyful voice were like fire, making Gu Zhiqing ask angrily: "Did you go to Zuo's Mansion? Did you go to see Zuo? Xiang Ning? Are you the one who spread the rumors in the capital?!"

"Since you know everything, why are you still asking?" Ling Xiao's face turned cold, "You stay away from Zuo Xiangning from now on, and I will pretend that nothing has happened."

"Zuo Xiangning is my fiancée now, how far do you want me to stay away from her?" Gu Zhiqing lowered his voice and gritted his teeth and said: "Do you still know what propriety, justice and shame are? You have a secret meeting in the middle of the night. This is called fornication! Catch me. We have to go on a parade in Shen Tang!”

"None of this has anything to do with you." Ling Xiao said coldly: "Besides, if you dare to say dirty words again, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Can you do it without letting others tell you?" After Gu Zhiqing finished speaking, he rushed towards Ling Xiao before Ling Xiao could take action.

Ling Xiao had been dissatisfied with him for a long time, and he was merciless in his attacks.

The two of them were fighting each other in the blink of an eye.

"Were you the one who plotted against me before?" Gu Zhiqing looked at Ling Xiao's actions and almost became angry.

"It's because your skills are inferior to others, why do you want to plot something against me?" Ling Xiao slapped Gu Zhiqing's chest hard.

Gu Zhiqing took three or four steps back and was supported by two people who suddenly appeared behind him.

Gu Zhiqing spat out a mouthful of blood.

Ling Xiao stood there and didn't move again.

"Kill him...kill him!" Gu Zhiqing said to the two of them.

The two men hesitantly advised: "It's better to go back first..."

"I asked you to kill him for me!" Gu Zhiqing pointed at Ling Xiao and said fiercely: "Go! Kill him!"

The two stood there in embarrassment without moving.

"Do you think you can instigate them with your current status?" Ling Xiao deliberately sarcastically said: "Now no one can guarantee whether you are the long-lost son of the eldest princess. The eldest princess is the most noble princess in this dynasty. She How can your bloodline be confused?"

"You bastard!" Gu Zhiqing was so angry that he still wanted to rush up, but was hurried away with his arms held by two men beside him.

After Ling Xiao waited for them to go far away, he said to Chang Feng in the dark: "You leave a few people here to guard. If anyone dares to enter Xianglan Zhai, they will be killed without mercy!"

The reason why he did not murder Gu Zhiqing now was because he did not want Zuo Xiangning to become the focus of everyone's eyes, nor did he want to openly confront the eldest princess.

But if Gu Zhiqing really dared to do harm to Zuo Xiangning, then he wouldn't mind a bloody encounter with him.

Gu Zhiqing returned to the eldest princess's mansion and was helped into the eldest princess's yard.

"Mother……"

Gu Zhiqing only said two words before spitting out a mouthful of blood, which shocked the eldest princess.

"Zhiqing, what's wrong with you?" The eldest princess hurriedly stepped forward to support him and asked the two personal guards next to her sternly, "How did you get hurt?"

Gu Zhiqing glared at the two silent guards and said breathlessly: "It's Ling Xiao! He has fallen in love with Zuo Xiangning and wants his son to die!"
