Alluring City

Yan Beixiao is really not ordinary stupid. Could it be that killing the old emperor Dugu Xun will pass the throne to him?No brain at all!If he really killed Dugu Xun, it would only annoy Tian Chen.

She didn't think Tianchen's prince, Duguchen, would be a man who allowed Yan Beixiao to mess around in Tianchen's land. The young man who made Yan and Nanman emperors admire him was not just able to read sage books.

"It is said that the emperor of Yan State intended to make Yan Beichen the crown prince, so Yan Beixiao wanted to kill Duguxun." Gu Xiaowu smiled, shook his head and said, "I really didn't expect the emperor of Yan State to want to What does making Yan Beichen the crown prince have anything to do with Ah Xun? Although Ah Xun is very powerful, he is only the third prince of Tianchen. Although he and Yan Beichen are best friends, he can't influence the emperor's decision, can he? Is it?"

Sure enough, even a father's child is still smart and stupid!

"He probably thought that because Beichen and Duguxun had a good relationship, that's why the old emperor wanted to make him the crown prince. If Duguxun died, he was planning to frame Beichen. In this way, it doesn't matter if it's Tianchen or Yan Kingdom. I'm afraid Bei Chen won't be tolerated." Su Yun said calmly.

Not to mention that the old emperor has no intention of establishing a crown prince, even if he did, Beichen might not accept it.

That person's whole heart is devoted to the common people in the world, but he has never thought about the position of crown prince.

"Beichen...?" Gu Xiaowu discovered Su Yunqing's address for Yan Beichen, and a teasing smile rose from the corner of his mouth, "Ah Zhi, why don't you explain your relationship with Yan Beichen?"

This seems to be the first time she heard a man's name from Ah Zhi's mouth!

In the past, Ah Zhi always referred to men by their first names and surnames, even for close friends.

Yan Beichen is really the first one to be called by his name directly like this!

"What's the relationship?" Su Yunqing repeated it dully, but suddenly found that she really couldn't tell what their relationship was.

Are you a couple?It seems that the two never broke anything.

friend?But there is a little ambiguity between the two from time to time.

"More than friends, less than lovers, right?" Su Yunqing's tone contained uncertainty that she hadn't even noticed.

Gu Xiaowu sighed deeply, "Azhi, you two have been flirting, but you have never stated your relationship with each other, have you?"

It was rare to see Ah Zhi so confused, but she was not as happy as she imagined.

"It seems to be like this!" Su Yunqing nodded. He had never thought about the relationship between the two before, but now that he thinks about it, it seems that it is really ambiguous.

She was really careless.

"Has he married a wife?" Gu Xiaowu asked, implying: If he does, Ah Zhi, you will become the third party who destroys other people's families!

"No." Su Yunqing shook his head, thought for a while, and added: "Nor have I ever taken a concubine."

As for whether there is a roommate, she doesn't know. This question is too private, she doesn't want to ask, and she has no position to ask, does she?

"Then it will be done." Gu Xiaowu patted Su Yunqing on the shoulder, and then said proudly: "Think carefully, if you really like her, it's okay to take the initiative, since he has no wife or concubine now, Quickly print Su Yunqing's label!"

"Follow the fate!" Su Yun smiled lightly, and gently opened the box in his hand.

Inside lay a green jade hairpin quietly. The style is very simple, but the jade is indeed a rare and high-quality jade.

There is also a note under the hosta.

Su Yunqing put the jade hairpin back into the box, took a look at the note, and saw that it read:

I saw it by accident, and thought it was suitable for you.

The signature is Yan Beichen!

Gu Xiaowu looked at the jade hairpin in the box, and smiled teasingly.

"Is it a token of love?" Although he didn't know what was written on the note, the smile in Ah Zhi's eyes was so obvious.

As for the unknown result, it's already obvious, Ah Zhi...she likes Yan Beichen, otherwise she wouldn't have shown such a soft expression.

"You're thinking too much." Su Yunqing put the box away, and put his trademark smile on his face again.

This smile is indeed fake when facing outsiders, but it is a real smile in front of Gu Xiaowu, from the heart.

*** ***

The general's mansion has been decorated with joy by the servants, and red lanterns have been hung outside the gate.

As long as the general's wife and that arrogant young lady don't come to provoke her, then she basically won't interfere with all matters of the general's mansion.

On New Year's Eve, Mrs. Su sent someone to invite Su Yunqing and Gu Xiaowu to have dinner with them for the first time.

This was the first time that Gu Xiaowu saw Mrs. Su and Su Zhaohua, the eldest lady of the Su family.

"We originally planned to have lunch together, but the palace announced that we would enter the palace to attend the dinner, so we had to invite you to have dinner together in advance." Mrs. Su explained with a smile.

As a family member of a great general, he is invited to the palace for a dinner every year, and this year is no exception.

Especially when the general was stationed abroad and failed to come back to spend the New Year with his family, the queen naturally had to take the place of the emperor to appease the general's family.

"Do I have to go?" Su Yunqing asked in a low voice while eating.

Although she never spoke when eating or sleeping, she didn't want to waste too much time here.

Therefore, I can only barely ask while eating.

"Well, although I know you don't like the excitement, after all, it's the empress who sent someone to pass on the order. If you don't go, the empress may not be able to explain it to her." Although she didn't want her to follow her into the palace, the empress Yanming wants to take her with him.

If you don't bring it with you, you will resist the decree.

"I know, I'll go." General Su treated her well, so although she didn't like such occasions, she would never let the Su family have an accident because of her relationship.

"This girl is...?" Mrs. Su asked with some doubts.

Although she knew that there were more people in the mansion, she didn't find out the origin of the other person, she only knew that she and Su Yunqing had a good relationship.

"Gu Qingcheng, the fifth young lady of Tianchen Gu's family." Su Yunqing said lightly.

Although she knew that Xiao Wu didn't like others to associate her with the Gu family, but in order to prevent someone from doing something to her while she was in the palace, she had to move the Gu family out.

The Fifth Miss of Tianchen's richest family, presumably Mrs. Su and Su Zhaohua would not be so disrespectful.

The surprise in Mrs. Su's eyes disappeared in a flash, and the smile on her face froze slightly, but it was only for a moment.

"Since you are Yun Qing's friend, then you can greet him well! If you feel bored, you can ask Zhaohua to accompany you."

Although I don't know how this girl met the lady of Tianchen's richest merchant, but if Zhaohua can make friends with this Miss Gu, it can be regarded as a good thing.

"Mother!" Before Su Yunqing nodded, Su Zhaohua became impatient.

"Zhaohua, don't be naughty." Mrs. Su scolded in a low voice, "Miss Gu came from a long way. As the eldest lady of the Su family, you should spend more time with Miss Gu."

"Don't bother Miss Su, Qingcheng will rush back to Jiangning City in a few days, so it's good to have Yunqing to accompany me." Gu Xiaowu refused with a smile.

She didn't want Ah Zhi's relationship with the mother and daughter of the Su family to deteriorate again because of her relationship, although she knew that the mother and daughter would not be Ah Zhi's opponents.But Ah Zhi is going to live in Su's family, and there are two people in the family who are always thinking about how to calculate him, and I feel really uncomfortable.

Now it's up to her to say the refusal, even if the Su family's mother and daughter will be unhappy, it won't be blamed on Ah Zhi.

"Mom, look..."

Su Zhaohua was about to say something, but Madam Su stopped her with her eyes.

"That's fine, if Miss Gu needs it, just ask the servants." Mrs. Su ended her speech with a smile.

Because, if we continue to chat, I'm afraid it will be too late to attend the banquet in the palace.

Mrs. Su and Su Zhaohua both dressed up to attend, and Su Yunqing's attire was still not much different from usual, just changed into a new set of clothes.

Gu Xiaowu didn't go with them, because the empress didn't invite her, and because she didn't like that kind of occasion.

The most important thing is that she happened to visit his prince's mansion while Yanbei Xiao was attending a dinner in the palace.

Gu Xiaowu didn't let Su Xin go with him, holding the topographic map drawn by Su Yunqing in his hand, and putting on dark clothes, Gu Xiaowu set off in the direction of the Second Prince's Mansion.

Maybe it was because of the Chinese New Year, although it was still early, but the street was already empty, Gu Xiaowu quietly approached Yan Beixiao's mansion under the cover of night.

Most of the people in Xiao's residence in Yanbei gathered in the backyard to watch his concubines set off fireworks.

Gu Xiaowu sneaked into Yan Beixiao's mansion easily, without meeting anyone along the way.

But Gu Xiaowu always kept Su Yunqing's warning in mind.

Yan Beixiao's mind is so stupid, but he can live without any worries until now, so the people under him are naturally not to be underestimated.

Although it was Chinese New Year, Gu Xiaowu was not sure whether there were martial arts experts lurking in the dark in his house tonight.

Holding the topographical map of the Second Prince's Mansion that Su Xin had managed to obtain in his hand, Gu Xiaowu quickly found the location of the study.

She quietly leaned on the roof and gently lifted a piece of glazed tiles. Because the snow outside had not yet melted, the study was not very dark.

She didn't rush in because someone was lurking in the study.

Just above the beam, lurks a person with quite deep inner strength.

Although the man had already carefully controlled his breathing, Gu Xiaowu noticed the existence of the man as soon as he approached the study.

As for how to hide oneself, no one is better at it than Gu Xiaowu.

Although she was not sure at the beginning, after she uncovered the glazed tile, no amount of uncertainty became certain.
