The Regent's little feral cat bites again

Chapter 139

Gu Sinian's breathing gradually became easier. He picked up a glass of wine and took a sip. The spicy taste of the strong wine made him cough several times, but he also felt that the pain in his chest was reduced a lot.

"He's too cunning... There is no clue to what happened back then, and I simply... have no trace to follow."

Gu Sinian clenched his hands into fists, buried in Gu Chengze's arms, and sobbed faintly.

From an angle that Gu Sinian couldn't see, Gu Chengze's expression became a little strange, more like a kind of pride after something was accomplished, but his movements were still gently patting Gu Sinian's back, as relieved as an elder soothing,

"Don't worry, Uncle Huang is back, Uncle Huang will definitely find something to do with him. I will help you, don't be afraid..."

Gu Sinian closed his eyes, and withdrew from Gu Chengze's arms, with tears still in the corners of his eyes: "Thank you, Uncle Yun'an."

His father, such a wise and benevolent emperor, passed away in such a strange way in the end. In the past, he was not strong enough to fight Gu Chengyuan. Now that he has grown up, it is time...to seek justice for his father.

"I prepared a slow poison before, but something went wrong halfway, and the plan failed."

Gu Sinian did not hide the hatred and fierceness in his eyes, "However, now that I have contacted Dongyang, and with the return of Uncle Yun'an, I will definitely bring Gu Chengyuan down."

"Dongyang? That General Gui who attended the banquet today?"

"No, it's not him." Gu Sinian smiled slowly, "It's the Xuan family daughter who can touch Gu Chengyuan's mind."

"Oh? What kind of person is he? Introduce him to me someday."

Gu Chengze had already sat back in his seat, and after listening to it, he shook his wine glass with interest. He was a little curious about the woman Gu Chengyuan had his eyes on.

"She has been ill recently, and she hasn't shown up for a few days. When she recovers, I will definitely arrange for you to meet."

Gu Sinian recalled the night when he confessed to Xuan Yinruo, and showed a very appreciative smile, "If she is not from Dongyang Xuan's family, I would have wanted to bring her closer to the palace."

"Oh? Uncle Huang really needs to get to know a woman who can give the emperor such a high opinion."

Gu Sinian and Gu Chengze looked at each other and smiled, and after drinking a few glasses of wine, they felt a lot closer because of the unfamiliarity they hadn't seen for many years.

Here, Gu Chengyuan's carriage also arrived at the palace. When he got out of the carriage, he was holding in his arms the cat that could be disguised as Xiao Qi that he had found during the day.

But it just looks like Xiaoqi, and I can't imitate that alert look at all.

As soon as Gu Chengyuan carried it into the mansion, he casually threw it to Xiao Ling, and he went back to Li Pavilion with the candied haws.

However, he pushed the door open, and there was no one in the huge room, only a letter on the table, and the dagger that Xuan Yinruo had chosen during the day,
Gu Chengyuan's eyes darkened, a bad premonition crossed his mind, he walked to the table very slowly, and opened the letter.

[Gu Chengyuan said:
I'm leaving, you helped me this time, I don't like to owe people favors, and that agreement was canceled as a repayment.

From then on, you and I owe nothing to each other, and you don't have to feel ashamed of me.

——Xuan Yue]

The content was very simple, and the agreement was naturally about Xuan Yinruo's fight to kill him tonight.

Xuan Yinruo gave up this opportunity, and in return he helped her conceal her identity.

The candied haws in Gu Chengyuan's hand fell to the ground and became scattered one by one. The bright red sugar shell was also separated and smashed into fine particles.

That woman just didn't want to have anything to do with him.

Gu Chengyuan's fingers gradually tightened, and the envelope was twisted in his hands. In the end, he just tore up the letter with a calm expression, and threw it into the wastebasket beside him.

Many relationships can't end if she wants to.

She won't even try to get rid of him in this life!
Gu Chengyuan looked a little cold, stepped out of the room, Xiao Ling stood guard outside the door,

Seeing his prince go in with a gentle face, but come out with a frosty body, he suddenly realized something, took two steps back very presciently, then poked his head and asked in a low voice, "Is...Master Xuan left?"

Gu Chengyuan's jaw was tight and he didn't speak. Xiao Ling felt the temperature around him getting colder, so he added another sentence: "It shouldn't be, the people from Mu Jianbai outside the door are still guarding. ..."

"How can that group of trash see her?" Gu Chengyuan's voice was extremely disdainful, he paused, and then ordered indifferently, "Go and see if there is any movement at Honglu Temple."

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Ling came back and replied: "I didn't see Mr. Xuan go back from the Honglu Temple, and Vice-General Mo, who often runs errands that Mr. Xuan often used, has never been out of the temple."

"Could Mr. Xuan go to Dongyang's stronghold? But even General Gui and Mo Xuan didn't tell, what is she going to do?"

If Xuan Yin fled to the Regent's Palace overnight, Gu Chengyuan could not wait for such a night, Gu Chengyuan only thought of one possibility.

He raised his head with an indifferent and calm expression: "Let Shao Yun send more people tomorrow to keep Ganyi under surveillance."

"Yes, this subordinate understands." Xiao Ling bowed his head and cupped his hands, turned around and went to work.
-
At noon the next day, Ganyi had already arrived outside the city of Lanzhou, but because of Gu Sinian's order, he had to wait until dusk to enter the city.

There are already many people waiting in the city. In their eyes, it seems that the reputation of General Ganyi will not be weakened by such a simple defeat, but when they see his extremely decadent appearance at the moment, everyone seems to be a little Not sure anymore.

How can a general convince the crowd if he loses his fighting spirit?

The person sent to pick him up was Mu Deze, the privy envoy. It was intriguing for Gu Sinian to entrust this task to such a highly respected veteran in the court.

"General Gan, the emperor ordered the veterans to come pick you up. The reception banquet is ready. Will the general follow me back to the palace?"

Gan Yi hadn't shaved his beard for several days, and his rough and wild face looked very decadent at the moment. He got off his horse, his movements were neat but a little listless, and he leaned slightly towards Mu Deze: "Yes, Lord Mu."

Mu Deze looked at this once magnificent general, now he was in such a state, he felt a little regretful for a moment, but he couldn't say anything, he just took him into the palace sedan chair, and sent away the people who were doing good things around him. Before it was dark, he rushed all the way to the palace.

Then, when he reached a palace road with few people, he was stopped by the imperial army brought by Shao Yun.

After Shao Yun showed the things in his hands to the groom, he raised his voice coldly and said, "This is the Yijun soldier's amulet. The prince ordered his subordinates to bring General Gan back to the mansion for interrogation."

Mu Deze opened the sedan chair curtain, and walked out calmly. In terms of seniority and position, he was superior to Shao Yun, so he didn't mean to salute, and stood with his hands behind his back, saying: "Under the world, Could it be Huangtu, if the prince wants to summon him, he will have to wait until the emperor has met General Gan."
