Gu Xiaoran beckoned to Qin Susu with her finger.
Qin Susu followed closely, moving closer.
Do you know that third prince?
"The Third Prince?" Qin Susu certainly knew who he was.
Why are you asking him?
"It's nothing, I'm just a little curious about this person."
"Put away your curiosity, the Third Prince is quite boring. Yu'er, what exactly do you want to ask him?"
"I just want to make friends." Gu Xiaoran had just come up with this excuse when she saw Qin Susu laugh out loud.
"You brat, you wouldn't be thinking of climbing the social ladder and marrying the Third Prince, would you?" Qin Susu joked.
Gu Xiaoran
"Uh, yes." He wanted to enter the Third Prince's residence to test the truth, but he didn't know how.
"I'm telling you, Yu'er, the Third Prince is old enough to be your father. Besides, he has a leg ailment and is a cripple," Qin Susu said seriously, stopping her laughter.
"Crippled?" Gu Xiaoran was somewhat surprised.
"Aunt Susu, do you have any connection with this Third Prince? Could you introduce me to him?"
"We're not familiar with each other." Qin Susu didn't want Gu Xiaoran to go astray.
"Yu'er, I'm not talking to you anymore, I still have to go teach Ling'er martial arts." Qin Susu smiled and ran towards Qiu Ling'er, who was following her brother and practicing martial arts.
Gu Xiaoran... When did his aunt recognize such a master? How come he didn't know?
Gu Xiaoran couldn't concentrate on her martial arts practice all morning; her moves were weak and feeble.
He was completely confused, but Qin Susu gave him a lot of pointers.
Gu Xiaoran ignored her and continued training on her own.
In the Prince Yi's residence, the Third Prince sat alone in a four-wheeled carriage, standing under his own plum tree, his face expressionless.
Yes, the former Third Prince He Xuan has been bestowed the title of Prince Yi by His Majesty this morning.
Upon hearing the announcement of General Gu's visit, He Xuan only frowned slightly, then said...
"Please invite them in." Then they entered the reception area.
As soon as Gu Qian entered, He Xuan calmly asked:
"General Gu has been missing for many years. He has just returned to Shangjin and thought of me. I am truly fortunate."
"Your Highness, Prince Yi." Gu Qian clasped his hands in a fist salute to He Xuan.
"I apologize for disturbing you."
"You're being too polite," He Xuan said with a calm smile, thinking to himself, "It's probably not just simple presumption."
His Majesty's exiled prince was assassinated, and since Gu Qian's return, this matter has become an unjust secret.
Moreover, this third prince has already been targeted by people sent by His Majesty.
Gu Qian took a sip of the tea in his cup, then carefully examined He Xuan.
His impression of the Wing King was that he was honest, simple, and had no ulterior motives.
Even if the Wing King harbored resentment, it was directed at His Majesty, not at Xiao Ran.
Despite thinking this way, Gu Qian couldn't be sure if he was involved in the assassination of Xiao Ran.
He said nothing, but He Xuan said:
"I know you doubt me."
"How do you know?" Gu Qian countered.
"I guessed it the moment you arrived." He Xuan's lips curled into a self-deprecating sneer.
“Your Highness, what are you saying?” Gu Qian shook his head. “I came here simply to ask Your Highness about some things.”
"What is it?" The Third Prince thought that Gu Qian would directly ask him if he was the one who did that thing.
It is clear that this person appears to have come to inquire.
"In recent years, who has been in power in the inner palace?" Gu Qian had been away from Shangjin for several years and was not very familiar with everything in the capital.
Therefore, he needs to inquire from multiple sources.
