Chapter 25 Who is the culprit?
Gu Lintan was stunned.
Jiang Yuruo knew Yan Zhe's intention and felt that it would not be an exaggeration to skin him alive.
"My Lord, instead of worrying about whether I will be bribed by the Second Prince, you should do more for me."
"For example - say a few good words for me in front of Her Royal Highness the Princess, or think about how to help me get the position of director of the Imperial Medical Bureau as soon as possible." Although Yan Zhe was smiling, Gu Lintan felt a little cold.
"For another example, adults might as well throw more things that interest me so that I can cooperate with you more."
"After all, the tighter you tie a string, the harder it is to get away."
After Yan Zhe finished speaking, he drank the tea in the cup, stood up and bowed.
"Master Gu, in order not to waste the night, I will go ahead. I have just arrived in the capital, and I wonder where is the most famous ecstasy cave in the capital?"
Gu Lintan was a little surprised.
"Sir, you have been in the teaching profession for a long time. Are you also interested in romantic matters?"
"Food and sex are human nature!" Yan Zhe laughed loudly, his handsome face full of mischief at the moment, "To be honest with you, sir, I have more than a hundred confidantes in dozens of cities in Ji and Gan countries."
Yan Zhe is a renowned doctor who also looks polite and courteous - how could he have such a hobby?
But it's better this way.
Knowing what prey likes to eat makes it easier for hunters to lure them.
Of course, the prerequisite is that the prey is valuable and worthy of eating the bait carefully prepared by the hunter.
What Yan Zhe said is indeed very true: the tighter the grasshopper is tied to a rope, the harder it is to escape.
"Sir, I don't know much about this matter, but if you like, I will pay more attention to you when I interact with my colleagues in the past."
Yan Zhe smiled casually and said, "Thank you, Master Gu."
After saying that, he walked towards the door.
Just as he was about to leave the private room, he suddenly turned back and said to Gu Lintan:
"Sir, let's do this kind of fun together next time."
After saying that, she raised an eyebrow at him before leaving with a big laugh.
Gu Lintan felt a chill.
This person actually likes this?
After Yan Zhe left, Gu Lintan sat in the private room, slowly sipping the hot tea in the cup.
Gu Lintan did not have much desire for women.
In the past, he only wanted to have children with Suxi and grow old together.
It would be best if he could get a job as a local official if he passes the exam.
He took his family with him to take up his post and spent his life with them in peace and joy.
But after meeting that person, everything changed.
His expectations changed, his ideals changed, and even his identity changed.
He really needed to find a quiet place outside the Gu Mansion to sort out his thoughts.
It has been nearly half a month since I last visited Suxi and her son.
He really wanted to go see them, but now was not the right time.
He looked at the bright moon outside the building and remained silent.
Chuan'er is already three years old, he has to go faster and faster.
Just as he was lost in thought, Huang Fu suddenly appeared at the door of the private room.
Uncle Huang looked around for a while, and after confirming that there was no one unusual in the building, he hurried into the private room.
Gu Lintan heard footsteps, looked up and saw Uncle Huang, and knew something must have happened.
Huang Bo put his ear in:
"Sir, ask Qingxuan about the robbery."
Gu Lintan's pupils trembled.
"What kind of thief?"
"I'm not quite sure. Tan Dong just came to the study and said that a guard from the palace ran to the front yard and made a fuss, saying that a thief was visiting Wenqingxuan."
"What is missing?"
"No, they said they were beaten away. The guard only said that the princess was frightened and there was a commotion in the mansion."
Gu Lintan's face was gloomy.
Nothing lost?
The Gu family’s wedding is taking place, and Gu Lintan is marrying the princess. Who in the capital doesn’t know about this?
What kind of stupid thief without a brain would break into Gu's house at night?
Gu Lintan's eyes were cold, he was certain that he was not a thief.
Could it be that...
He was startled and said hurriedly: "Go back home quickly!"
After returning to the mansion, Gu Lintan hurriedly walked towards the east courtyard.
"Why are there only a few guards guarding the front yard?" Gu Lintan turned his head and asked Huang Fu.
"The princess must have been quite frightened. I heard from Tan Dong that she called all the guards in the mansion, and most of them are now guarding the backyard gate."
Gu Lintan felt a chill running across his chest.
He soon arrived outside the backyard door.
Li Cong and Tan Dong, who were guarding the door, saw him rushing over and quickly ran up to him.
"Greetings, sir."
Gu Lintan held his breath and asked in a low voice: "What happened?"
Li Cong recounted the entire incident in detail.
"Have you seen the princess?"
Both of them shook their heads.
"Have you found any trace of the person coming?"
The two looked at each other and shook their heads in silence.
Gu Lintan felt even colder in his heart.
He quickly knocked on the gate and was stunned when he saw Chen Jin and Chen Xiu opening the door for him.
Just now I remembered that they were the pair of guards from the palace whom I met at the gate of the East Courtyard in the afternoon.
He asked, "Where is your highness?"
As he asked, he raised his foot to walk inside.
Chen Jin stretched out his arms to block his chest.
He stared at Chen Jin in disbelief and was about to explode.
Chen Xiu said slowly, "His Highness was frightened and is probably resting now. If the Prince Consort wants to see him, please let me go in and inform him first."
Gu Lintan was in the wrong. The incident happened in the Gu Mansion and the princess was frightened there. He couldn't get angry at the moment.
He could only nod, his face gloomy, and said, "Go quickly."
Chen Jin and Chen Xiu looked at each other, Chen Xiu nodded, and walked towards Wen Qingxuan.
Chen Jin put away his arms and still stood in front of Gu Lintan.
Soon, a man followed Chen Xiu out.
Gu Lintan took a look and found that the person coming was Fu Dong.
He thought it was Jiang Xue who sent a maid to pick him up, and was about to take a step forward.
Unexpectedly, Fu Dong stood far away and spoke loudly:
"Your Highness, please go back. Your Highness was frightened tonight and has finally gotten some rest. If you want to come, please come back tomorrow after Your Highness has rested well."
Gu Lintan said, "I am the princess' husband. My wife is frightened. I must comfort her tonight before I can feel at ease."
Fu Dong said in a very dissatisfied voice: "My Lord, please allow me to say something unpleasant."
She said, "I am a servant who was sent by the Empress to serve Her Royal Highness the Princess. If my words offend you, Your Majesty, please forgive me."
"Your Highness has been raised in the palace since he was a child. Have you ever seen any evil thieves or villains?"
"Today is the second day after our wedding, and we almost met with an accident at Gu's house!"
"The Prince Consort just said that he is the husband of Your Highness. This is what a husband should do - sending a bunch of useless idiots to protect the Madam!"
"If it weren't for the Queen's foresight to order the palace guards to come to the Gu Mansion to protect it today, I'm afraid that His Highness would not just be frightened."
"Now, Prince Consort, you should go back to your room and think carefully about how to fulfill your responsibilities as a husband!"
"Brother Chen Jin, please show us around!"
Not only was Gu Lintan turned away, he was also scolded by a maid named Fu Dong in front of many servants. He was so humiliated that he was speechless.
He was furious.
But Fu Dong also said that she came to Gu Mansion to serve Jiang Xue in accordance with the Queen's order.
Gu Lintan didn't dare to do anything to her.
Chen Jin had a blank expression on his face and said to Gu Lintan, "Prince consort, please step back."
Then he closed the gate.
The guards at the door were terrified, but they could only keep a straight face and pretend to be deaf and dumb.
Gu Lintan took two deep breaths, turned around and walked steadily towards the study.
In his rage, he just wanted to find the culprit and ask him for justice.
