The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Xiao Mingzhang was startled for a moment, not expecting that she would ask this.

Soon, he turned into a pitiful little boy, his eyes full of grievance, "Do you think I'm lying to you?"

Gu Deyin originally asked cautiously, but seeing him like this, she suddenly felt that her question just now was a bit too much. How could she doubt him like this?

No one wants to lose his memory, let alone the regent who holds all the power in the world?

Besides, what good could he gain by lying to her?

She is just a businesswoman.

Thinking about it this way, she felt that by asking this question just now, she was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, and seeing that he was so wronged, she hurriedly said.

"No, don't get me wrong, I just... think the way you handle things is, well, very majestic, just like the princes I met before, so I..."

She couldn't say the rest and could only look at him as if begging for mercy.

Xiao Mingzhang was not unreasonable, but said as if he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I just lost my memory, not dementia. I can actually handle these problems with my eyes closed. This is an instinct of my body."

Gu Deyin thought about it, and this made sense. Xiao Mingzhang had been the regent for more than five years, and he was already familiar with handling political affairs. Therefore, it was indeed her fault to doubt him on this point.

"I'm sorry, I took it too much for granted. If you recover well, you will regain your memory one day."

Finally, she comforted him in turn.

Xiao Mingzhang finally felt better and gave a soft "hmm" to express his acceptance of her apology.

Gu Deyin saw that the matter was over and quickly changed the subject to avoid hurting him again. After all, losing memory is a scary thing to think about.

"Now that we have figured out who is behind the scenes, we should find a way to rescue my father and brother. I will send a message to Shopkeeper Li and ask him to send more experts from the capital..."

She already owed Xiao Mingzhang a lot. If she could use her own people to solve the problem, she didn't want to trouble Xiao Mingzhang any more. Anyway, the prefect would definitely not get good things in the end.

The most important thing is that if Xiao Mingzhang comes forward, his whereabouts will be exposed, which will probably affect the arrangements in the capital, which will be more than worth the loss.

She didn't want him to think that she was greedy one day after he regained his memory, which was contrary to her intention of holding her thigh.

When Xiao Mingzhang heard this, his face that had just cleared up began to become clouded again. Did she really want to draw a clear line with him?

When Gu Deyin saw his expression changed, she didn't dare to say anything at the moment. In fact, even though he had lost his memory and sometimes looked cute and pitiful, his essence had not changed. He was still the feared regent.

"Is there anything I said that's wrong? Please point it out."

Seeing that he remained silent, she had no choice but to take the initiative to ask.

Xiao Mingzhang looked at her accusingly, "They say I'll help you, but why do you insist on pushing me far away..."

"No, it wasn't because of your help that I found the whereabouts of my father and brother."

Gu Deyin's excuse still failed to make Xiao Mingzhang feel better again.

I saw him continue to accuse, "You just said that you would transfer people from the capital. This place is several days away from the capital. Are you sure that the situation will not change when you transfer people?"

This time it was Gu Deyin's turn to change her expression. She was really not sure. After all, even Xiao Mingzhang's previous arrangements could not be guaranteed to be foolproof, not to mention that she would have to delay it for several more days?

Things were getting difficult to handle now. She frowned and had no idea for a moment.

Seeing her like this, Xiao Mingzhang couldn't help but reach out and tap her on the top of the head. When she looked over, he puffed up his chest like a peacock with its tail spread, "Idiot, I will help you."

Gu Deyin still had concerns, "But this will expose your whereabouts..."

Xiao Mingzhang smiled complacently, "If my whereabouts were exposed so easily, then I wouldn't be who I am."

This confident and flamboyant look instantly stunned Gu Deyin. She had never seen Xiao Mingzhang like this before. How many faces did this person have?

While she was in a daze, Xiao Mingzhang had already written a secret document. He handed it over to her, and she came back to her senses and took it blankly and looked at it carefully.

"Have you created an identity for yourself?"

Xiao Mingzhang smiled and said, "As long as the big seal on the secret fold is real, then this identity is real."

Gu Deyin thought about it and this was indeed the truth. I heard that there was an emperor in the previous dynasty who liked to appoint officials to himself, such as the Grand Marshal of the World's Soldiers and Horses, the Duke of Zhuguo, etc. As long as he issued the decree, then this official would be given to others. really.

Just like Xiao Mingzhang fabricated an identity for himself at this time, so he could enter the city with arrogance.

"Let's go, I'll take you to capture this prefect alive."

Seeing Xiao Mingzhang, who was full of playfulness and not mature at all, Gu Deyin suddenly felt that he was like a versatile man.

You think you know many sides of him, but in fact you haven't really seen the true face under the glacier.

Since you want to act, you have to do the whole thing.

Gu Deyin wanted to pretend to be his girl, but Xiao Mingzhang said, "Who would take a girl with him when he takes office?"

What he said made sense to her when she thought about it.

"Then I will be your maid. This status suits both of us..."

Xiao Mingzhang poured cold water on her again.

"Look, you've already brought three maids here, and I'll bring you one more, so who am I? Am I a hungry ghost in lust?"

Gu Deyin looked at the rows of Hua Shu, Hua Chao, and Xiu'er, and it seemed that there were indeed too many, which would damage Xiao Mingzhang's image.

"Then I pretend to be a man and be a bodyguard. Is that okay?"

She settled for the next best thing, pretending to be a man would be refreshing, and she was looking forward to it.

Xiao Mingzhang reached out and gently lifted her chin, carefully examining her beautiful face.

"If you pretend to be a man with your face, do you think that everyone else is blind? Besides, not many women pretend to be men, and it looks fake at first glance."

She was stunned and instinctively wanted to retort, but after thinking about it in her mind, she couldn't find anything to refute.

After all, he was right. There are indeed many flaws in a woman's disguise as a man. She was not raised as a boy since she was a child, so she would not be able to develop the behavior of a man in a short period of time.

This will only arouse others' suspicion.

She was hit again, and this time she hung her head in frustration.

"This won't work, that won't work either, what should I do..."

Xiao Mingzhang coughed twice and glanced at her secretly to attract her attention, he said.

"Actually, there is a role that is particularly suitable for you."

"Who?"

Gu Deyin hurriedly asked.

Regarding the magistrate who colluded with King Yu and intended to kill her father and brother, she wanted to eat his flesh alive and sleep on his skin, so she didn't want to miss the next drama.

"My lady." (End of chapter)
