Chapter 342 His Girl Can Be Ambitious

He Jinglan stopped and looked at Gu Xixi.

Noticing the two people coming, He Jinghui and An Qinghe stopped arguing.

Gu Xixi smiled and said, "I know."

"He never fights a battle without preparation, unless he has tried it himself to make sure it is foolproof."

"It is impossible for the emperor to appear on the stage today."

He Jinghui deeply agrees with this, "Mu Nanzhao really thinks of all possibilities when doing things."

"If the oil pan strategy is not safe enough, he should find another reason to prevent Your Majesty from being present at the scene."

"but……"

He looked at Gu Xixi, his brows furrowed, "Boss Gu, what I want to say is that Qi Xiu (Mu Nanzhao, courtesy name Qi Xiu) suddenly asked you to go on stage this morning, and it was definitely not because he didn't care about your life or death."

"If you want to accomplish something, let alone just trying a trick, even if you really want to get into the oil pan, there are plenty of people who will take the initiative to do it for you."

"But he was determined to take the risk and tried it so many times. Who did Boss Gu think he was doing this for?"

Before Gu Xixi could react, He Jinglan became unhappy.

"Brother! Isn't it too obvious that you're biased?"

He Jinghui was as kind and smiling as ever. "I didn't mean to question Boss Gu. I just didn't want Boss Gu to misunderstand that he was a person who didn't care about anything for the sake of profit."

Gu Xixi nodded slightly to He Jinghui, "Thank you, Master He, for your reminder."

She raised her eyes, her expression calm and unwavering, "I know he is not that kind of person. If unfortunately he is, I might have died long ago."

Night, Regent's Palace.

Mu Nanzhao responded calmly, "I understand."

He Jinghui stared, "She wasn't surprised, and neither were you, and you both told me you knew."

"You make me, the middleman, lose face!"

Mu Nanzhao lowered his head and studied the ink. "No one asked you to be the middleman."

He Jinghui was choking and couldn't breathe. He sat down and drank half a cup of cold tea, which he swallowed.

He pointed at himself and accused, "Who am I doing this for?"

"You said you couldn't understand why she was so good to you, even willing to risk her life for you, but there was always something between you and her, like she was on guard, or even more like she was afraid of you."

"You claim to be smart but you still can't figure it out. As a brother, I won't give you a push. If you miss out on Gu Xixi's store, with your personality, I'm afraid you'll be single for the rest of your life!"

Mu Nanzhao gave him a cold glance.

He Jinghui raised his head and looked back, "Go ahead and glare at me, but I have to tell the truth even if you glare at me again!"

"Did An Qinghe see you? Although he is a foreigner and a businessman, and sounds not as powerful as you, the regent, Boss Gu is not that vain woman."

"What if she doesn't mind marrying a Hu man? On the contrary, they are a perfect match, one is a farmer and the other is a businessman. With their abilities, they may be richer than you one day in the future."

"Look at you again. The higher your position, the more glorious it seems, but in fact, the greater the risk!"

After He Jinghui's analysis, even he couldn't help but shake his head and smack his lips.

"If I were Boss Gu, I might not choose you either."

"It's good to be a safe, wealthy and free person among the people."

Unexpectedly, Mu Nanzhao did not look upset this time.

"You are a good judge of people. After destroying the Fan family, I will transfer you to the Ministry of Personnel to replace him."

He Jinghui was shocked and angry. "I can see that. I am only thinking about you."

"You always want to push me out to clean up the mess!"

Mu Nanzhao said earnestly, "Those who are capable should do more work."

"Go to hell with you..." He Jinghui cursed halfway before recalling the unfinished topic.

"Wait, you said I'm good at judging people, so you mean I made all the correct analyses?"

He quickly moved to the desk, with a sly smile on his face, "Hey! Do you also think you can't compare to An Qinghe?"

"Come to think of it, his personality is much more likable than yours."

"Besides, others are wholeheartedly protecting Gu Xixi and pursuing her in business. It would be unrealistic if you don't have a sense of crisis."

"Sense of crisis? Just him?" Mu Nanzhao said contemptuously, "No."

He Jinghui turned his face in the opposite direction where Mu Nanzhao couldn't see and made a face, saying silently: You are just being stubborn!

Mu Nanzhao said calmly, "What I want to tell you is that I already know the reason behind Gu Xixi."

He paused, "At least part of it."

"So you don't have to tell me, I know what to do."

She doesn't want to be exploited by others. She has another peak she wants to reach. She wants to gain stability and freedom in this life through her own efforts.

Then he would guard her, protect her, and watch her get everything she wanted.

He Jinghui looked at Mu Nanzhao for a moment and smiled.

"I know that once you've chosen someone, you'll be with them for life. You won't give up so easily."

Mu Nanzhao did not comment, and then said, "Your Majesty has summoned Gu Xixi to meet him tomorrow."

"It's not a big deal, but it's just an excuse for Jinglan to enter the harem and reunite with Concubine Yu and her sisters."

"I'll be waiting for her in the imperial study."

Upon hearing that Gu Xixi was about to meet the emperor, He Jinghui was not surprised, but his expression became serious.

"I'll arrange it when I get back."

He thought for a moment and said, "Although Boss Gu is wearing a face scarf today, Old Man Fan has already noticed her."

"You said she was talking about the maidservant beside Jinglan, so she wouldn't be targeted."

He Jinghui still had some doubts, and asked again, "Jinglan will definitely be fine, but what about Boss Gu..."

"Although she had to go because of His Majesty's summons, I looked at her coldly. She seemed to have no interest in the glory and respectability that the noble ladies in the capital care about. I'm afraid this trip was not what she wanted."

When Mu Nanzhao thought of Gu Xixi, a smile appeared in his eyes.

"No, she will."

He looked at He Jinghui meaningfully, "Since you are good at judging people, how come you can't even see through this?"

He Jinghui's eyes flickered, and he suddenly realized. "No wonder!"

"No wonder she agreed to your request so readily when you suddenly ran over this morning."

"It seems that she has already prepared for it!"

In fact, today's high platform at the city gate was an opportunity that Gu Xixi had fought for herself by taking the initiative.

Even if Mu Nanzhao didn't take her with him today, the emperor would figure out the whole story, or wait until the locust extermination was over.

A young woman, of ordinary family, from the northwest, and she has made such a great contribution.

The emperor will summon Gu Xixi sooner or later.

Ever since Gu Xixi proposed the locust eradication plan, she had the idea of killing two birds with one stone, or even achieving multiple goals at once.

It is not enough to have Huo Jiang and the Northwest Army as support in the northwest.

She also wanted to borrow the power of the emperor.

Once he figured this out, even He Jinghui felt so excited that his heart was burning with excitement, and he couldn't help wiping the sweat off his face with his sleeves.

"Mu Nanzhao, you really fell in love with an ambitious girl!"

Mu Nanzhao's tone was light, but firm and unquestionable.

"However ambitious she is, I will follow her to that extent."

"Besides this king, who else?"
