Chapter 17
Gu Chengyuan was a little dumbfounded by her appearance as a prisoner awaiting trial, and asked calmly with a cool and dignified appearance on the surface: "Why did you dream?"

Xuan Yinruo blinked, pointed to the tea on the side, stood up happily after Gu Chengyuan nodded in agreement, and wrote down the words "people", "casino", "listen", and "win" .

Taken together, it means that someone wins money by hearing in a casino.

Gu Chengyuan's clear eyes drooped slightly, and his tone was calm: "You can understand human speech, and you learned how to write in a dream?"

Xuan Yinruo's eyes lit up instantly, the corners of his mouth opened in surprise, and he nodded silly.

"..."

He really found a good reason, and he couldn't refute it.

Gu Chengyuan's eyes deepened, and he said again: "Unless I allow it in the future, don't reveal this in front of outsiders."

"Meow~"

Xuan Yinruo nodded hurriedly, knowing in his heart that today's test was barely passed.

Apart from dreaming, she really didn't know what excuses to use to prevaricate.

Although surprised, but in the face of her ability, it is still believable, isn't it?

What Xuan Yinruo didn't expect was that Gu Chengyuan picked her up from the bed at Maoshi on the second day before it was bright outside.

"Ah..."

Xuan Yin escaped from the warm bed suddenly, shivered in fright, opened his eyes a little, and after seeing Gu Chengyuan's face clearly, he seemed relieved, found a comfortable position in his arms, and fell asleep again.

"Today, the king of Japan will take you to court."

Gu Chengyuan's slightly indifferent voice rang in Xuan Yinruo's ears. She seemed to be disturbed, twisted her face impatiently, ignored it and fell asleep again.

Seeing this, Gu Chengyuan didn't speak again, and walked out of the hall with it in his arms.

Xuan Yinruo didn't fall asleep completely in his arms, she thought about it for a long time last night, and guessed that Gu Chengyuan probably thought she was specially trained and sent to him to inquire about news.

After all, although the position of regent is high and powerful, he is also walking on thin ice, so he should be more cautious.

And what he did today, I'm afraid he came to test again, right?

If she was really sent by someone else, if he brought her to court today, someone with a heart would definitely take the opportunity to get angry and test her position in Gu Chengyuan's heart.

If Gu Chengyuan seems to be very precious to her, he can use her to inquire about Gu Chengyuan's power step by step in the future.

After all, no one is defenseless against a cat.

It has to be said that Gu Chengyuan's move was extremely ingenious.

Unfortunately, she was not a spy sent by others, so there was no need to worry about her.

However, Xuan Yinruo was a little annoyed by Gu Chengyuan's distrust. After staying by his side for so long, in the end she had to be on guard against his temptations.

She was really tired from the journey of hugging her thigh, if she knew it earlier, she would have chosen a slightly less shrewd thigh hug.

Xuan Yinruo slandered and thought wildly all the way, and soon, he reached the court.

As she expected, when the courtiers saw Gu Chengyuan holding a cat in his arms, they all boasted a few more words with interest, but didn't ask anything else, except...

Honorable Prince Gu Chengye.

Gu Chengye almost arrived at the court hall at the same time as Gu Chengyuan, and saw Xuan Yinruo in his arms at a glance, and called Gu Chengyuan directly,

"My king hugged the cat when I saw my younger brother a few days ago, but I didn't expect to bring it to court today. Why, my younger brother won't leave this cat for a moment?"

Gu Chengyuan's brows and eyes were cold, he only glanced at Gu Chengye casually, then lowered his eyes and stroked Xiao Qi's hair, there was a touch of warmth in his eyes, but his tone was as cold as that,

"Brother Huang seems to be very curious about this king's pet. I'm afraid he has taken a fancy to my cat?"

Gu Chengye suddenly smiled, and waved his hands: "Where is it, if a gentleman doesn't take away people's love, if the emperor's brother likes it, this king will naturally not get half of it."

Only then did Gu Chengyuan nod his head in satisfaction: "This is the best."

After saying that, he walked towards the high hall without looking back, where Gu Sinian was standing a little cautiously, and after Gu Chengyuan came up, he saluted respectfully: "Ten... seventeen emperors uncle."

Gu Sinian dared to sit down after Gu Chengyuan took his seat.

The officials began to discuss political affairs after saluting. During this period, Gu Chengyuan kept his eyes down and massaged Xiao Qi in his arms. Only when the officials mentioned him did he raise his eyes and look back.

It seems that all the attention is on Xuan Yinruo, and he is only slightly interested in other things.

Several officials of His Highness looked at each other in blank dismay. Today's regent...seems to be different from the past, and has become less diligent.

Of course, they were just thinking about these words, and no one dared to say them.

Xuan Yinruo only occasionally opened his eyes or let out a small hum, and whenever he interrupted the official's performance, Gu Chengyuan would quickly expose him, making it clear that he did not intend to surrender Xuan Yinruo's guilt.

After the court meeting, Gu Chengyuan didn't bother to play around with her and returned to Huaqing Palace with her in his arms.

On the way, the sedan chair was stopped by a voice.

Xuan Yinruo could tell that it was Rong Wanyi, the concubine she rescued a few days ago, oh no, it should be Concubine Rong's voice now, as graceful and delicate as ever, with a slight tremor,
"My lord, my concubine made a small sachet for Xiao Qi, which has the effect of nourishing the spleen and cultivating the heart. Xiao Qi can carry it on her body, and her body will be healthier."

Xuan Yin Ruo nested in Gu Chengyuan's arms, and raised her eyes in surprise, she didn't expect that concubine Rong made her a sachet, was it to thank her for saving her life that day?

It can be regarded as caring.

Gu Chengyuan raised his hand to lift the car curtain, and lightly ordered Xiao Ling outside the window: "Take it."

"Yes."

Xiao Ling responded, and after receiving the delicately crafted sachet, he thanked him politely.

Concubine Rong's face flushed a little, she bowed her head and saluted respectfully before she stepped aside, picked up the sedan chair, and quickly disappeared from her sight.

"Your Majesty, tell me, will the Prince Regent really help you keep the fetus in your womb?"

Yue Xi beside her looked at Concubine Rong with some concern, the backer that the empress had found was quite strong, but she didn't know if she could rely on it.

Concubine Rong squeezed the silk handkerchief in her hand, as if she was wearing it for herself, and said firmly, "Yes."
-
In the next two days, Gu Chengyuan still brought it to court, and there were many private rumors that Gu Chengyuan became lazy because of a cat, and was no longer as diligent in government affairs as before for the country and the people.

The news even spread to Tai Hospital. Jing Shi went to Huaqing Palace as soon as he heard it. Taking advantage of Xiaoqi's absence, he pulled Gu Chengyuan and began to question him. He said it was a question, but his tone seemed very humble.

"My lord, it's been rumored in private that you're slacking off on government affairs because of Xiao Qi, this...isn't it true?"

Gu Chengyuan glanced at Jing Shi indifferently: "What do you think?"

Jing Shi: "..."

In the end is I ask you or you ask me?
"Of course I don't think so! You are a desperate Saburo who can revise memorials for Qi Wenguo without sleep for three days, how can you be lazy?"

Jing Shi righteously denied it, and after a while he said hesitantly: "However, they preached it in a clear and precise manner, so I will..."

Gu Chengyuan narrowed his eyes and directly interrupted his words: "So you also think that I am because of Xiao Qi?"
