"Let's eat." Gu Qing's eyes were slightly red, and she felt more and more guilty towards him.

She didn't eat much on a normal day, and with the summer heat hitting her, she had no appetite. After drinking a bowl of soup, she didn't pick up her chopsticks again.

Seeing this, Chen Zhizhou picked up some food for her and told her about the things in the palace. As they chatted, they ate more without realizing it.

"Your Majesty, don't you know that the Princess of Northern Frontier is pretending to be sick?" Gu Qing was a little puzzled. How could the Imperial Concubine swallow her anger and allow her to frame her like this?

Chen Zhizhou nodded, his eyes slightly deep: "The Imperial Concubine has her own plans for this matter, it is not for you and me to guess."

Gu Qing could not deny it, nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, but if she keeps claiming to be sick, then tomorrow's dinner..."

"His Majesty has ordered a half-month postponement."

"In this way, the imperial concubine will probably be under even greater pressure." Gu Qing sighed.

Chen Zhizhou looked at her and said, "Madam seems to be quite concerned about this matter."

In other words, he is very concerned about the affairs of the Princess of Northern Frontier.

From the first day Naiza arrived in Beijing, something started to go wrong with Gu Qing.

"To be honest, I always feel that she is a variable." Gu Qing knew that Chen Zhizhou had doubts about her, so she didn't plan to pretend anymore and directly expressed her inner thoughts.

Chen Zhizhou is now very secretive about her words. Perhaps it was since the Huaishui City case that he felt that Gu Qing's feelings were always accurate.

"Since Madam has said so, I should be more vigilant."

Gu Qing was quite satisfied with Chen Zhizhou's reaction. This was exactly what she wanted!

After his rebirth, what he was most worried about was how to keep the secret of his rebirth a secret, let him know the difficulties of the future journey, give him advice, and let him accept it with peace of mind.

Now that he could say this, he was surprised and happy.

"Madam Huaishuicheng is very insightful and has often pointed out the way forward for my husband. Why didn't you listen?"

Gu Qing lowered his head and laughed when he heard this: "I'm very touched that you can do this."

Chen Zhizhou followed her words and said, "But I have always had an unanswered question in my heart."

"What?" For some reason, Gu Qing's heart suddenly became nervous and uneasy.

Chen Zhizhou's eyes were like an eagle soaring in the sky, his sharp gaze searching for prey hiding in the vast grassland.

For a moment, it was as if my thoughts were revealed and I couldn't hide them anymore.

She subconsciously looked away and lowered her head to eat the food in the bowl.

"Some things, if they happen only once, are just coincidences, but Madam has helped me out of trouble many times, and even found out unknown results. Could Madam help me solve this puzzle?"

Chen Zhizhou was a man of great thoughtfulness and cunning. Gu Qing understood his concerns and suddenly looked up and smiled, "Actually, I have a secret."

"Oh?" Chen Zhizhou raised his eyebrows, seeming very interested.

Ever since Gu Qing's personality changed, he sent Feng to thoroughly investigate her life trajectory over the past decade or so, including which important people she had met and where she had been. He knew everything clearly.

He was curious about what secrets Gu Qing was hiding.

"I know the art of Xuanhuang fortune-telling." Gu Qing's voice was almost inaudible, but it still fell clearly into Chen Zhizhou's ears.

Her eyes were as crystal clear as amber, as if she was carefully taking out a treasure to share with others, and there was a bit of expectation and yearning in her caution.

Chen Zhizhou held her face in his hands, as if coaxing a child: "It turns out that my wife is so powerful."

The two smiled at each other, and Gu Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Chen Zhizhou did not ask any further questions. Although love had grown between them, it was not yet time for them to open their hearts completely.

Chen Zhizhou was not in a hurry for this life, and gently wiped the corner of her mouth: "Madam, this secret cannot be told to others."

Gu Qing didn't expect that he would remind her. She said this to test Chen Zhizhou's thoughts.

If one day I really tell him that I am a reincarnated person and that I let him down and the Chen family in my previous life, how will he treat me?

Gu Qing didn't dare to think any further. He turned his head away and stood up, washing his hands. He sat back down after his face felt refreshed. Seeing that Chen Zhizhou had no intention of picking up his chopsticks, he asked someone to remove the dishes.

The military camp affairs are busy, especially with the recent military exercises, and Chen Zhizhou sometimes has to stay in the camp all day.

Gu Qingcai helped him change his clothes, and the two chatted about some things in the mansion. He then strode out of the yard, mounted his horse and headed for the western suburbs camp.

After taking a nap in the afternoon, Gu Qing finished reading the account book and thought that Situ Sheng’s injury should be almost healed. Cui Ru and Qiu Rong had been watching him these days and nothing had gone wrong, so his thoughts slowly drifted away.

The situation in the capital was complicated and dangerous, so she still needed to think carefully and sort out her thoughts. Now that Chen Zhizhou had listened to her, she felt less worried.

Thinking of this, a face suddenly appeared in Gu Qing's mind.

Pei Shaoheng.

"Cui Ru." Gu Qing called her in and asked, "You went to Jiao Lan today. Did you ask Mr. Huang if a man named Pei Shaoheng came yesterday?"

Cui Ru thought for a moment after hearing this, then suddenly nodded and said, "Young Madam, there is such a person!"

"Mr. Huang said he had many wounds on his body, new and old, overlapping, and they hadn't been completely healed over the years. He asked him to come and see him every day."

Gu Qing was overjoyed when she heard this. She was worried that she couldn't find an opportunity to talk to Pei Shaoheng alone, and now was a good time.

If we can turn the future national teacher into a friend, it will be much easier for us to do things in the future!

Thinking of this, Gu Qing immediately got up, changed his clothes and went to Jiaolan.

In the carriage, Cui Ru said worriedly, "Young Madam, although Mr. Huang asked him to come back soon yesterday, I heard from the shop assistants that he is not good at speaking and does not look wealthy. I didn't accept Mr. Huang's advice at the time. I'm afraid he won't come back today..."

Cuiru was worried that the young lady would miss the opportunity, and she was also worried that she had not explained herself clearly and all her efforts would be in vain.

Gu Qing said nothing, sitting upright in the carriage, but his expression was very determined.

She had already seen yesterday that if Pei Shaoheng wanted to survive, and to become the national teacher, his cunning must be incomparable to ordinary people.

Now that we know how difficult his road ahead is, we might as well go along with it and do him a favor.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at Jiaolan's door.

Gu Qing got out of the car and went straight up to the second floor. Situ Sheng had recovered a lot and was now entertaining guests in the hall. When he saw his wife coming, he was about to go forward to pay his respects, but he saw that she was in a hurry, and he couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Qiu Rong looked at him and understood that he always respected his wife the most.

Because he had been whipped by Gu Miao on his behalf before, he said patiently: "Madam must be busy. If you have anything to say, please wait until Madam is done."
