Most of what the boss said was true, but there were also lies. He knew that he was working for Concubine Zhao, but the boss only told the old man that it was Prime Minister Zhao's idea. The boss had his own considerations. If the concubine colluded with an outsider, then both the concubine and the outsider would be guilty of death, not to mention that he was a thief. It was actually nothing for him to die with Concubine Zhao, but what if the Gu family was not Concubine Zhao's opponent? If Concubine Zhao didn't die, Li Yuanle was one of the people who went to Ruyun Mountain with Gu Xinglang. If Concubine Zhao knew about Li Yuanle, could she still let the young lady of the Li family who was also in the palace go?
Gu Xinglang asked the head lord, "Is it really Zhao Qiuming?"
The eldest boss nodded. If possible, he didn't want to talk about Zhao Qiu Ming. Prime Minister Zhao was the father of Concubine Zhao. If he betrayed Prime Minister Zhao, it would be equivalent to offending Concubine Zhao. However, his brothers all knew that they were able to escape from the East China Sea thanks to Zhao Qiu Ming's help. He didn't say it, but he couldn't guarantee that his brothers wouldn't tell the truth. "Fortunately, not many brothers know about Concubine Zhao," the eldest boss thought in his heart with great relief: "As for Prime Minister Zhao, let's see the result of the fight between the Gu family and Prime Minister Zhao this time. As long as they don't betray Concubine Zhao directly, there is always room for maneuver."
Gu Xinglang looked at the boss and pursed his lips slightly. Who else could Zhao Qiu Ming kill the Seventh Prince for? "Prime Minister Zhao just asked you to keep the Seventh Prince in the mountains?" Gu Xinglang asked the boss.
The eldest master said, "After kidnapping the Seventh Prince and the Second Young Master, I haven't received any orders from Prime Minister Zhao."
Gu Xinglang said: "Are you not anxious at all?"
The eldest master forced himself to remain calm and said, "It should be the Prime Minister who is in a hurry about this matter. I am just a person who does things. Why should I be in a hurry?"
"You'd better tell the truth," Gu Xinglang said coldly, "You know the consequences of your nonsense now, right?" Young Master Gu glanced at General Li.
The boss gritted his teeth secretly. After just a few words of exchange, he knew clearly that this Third Young Master Gu was much more powerful than the Second Young Master Gu. Thinking about the one who has not shown up yet, who is said to be the most powerful young master in the Gu family, the boss felt that his future was dark.
Gu Xingnuo was sitting beside his second brother's bed at this time, and asked the doctor who had taken his pulse, "Sir, how is my second brother's health?"
The doctor said respectfully, "Don't worry, young master. The second young master is just weak and will just need to recuperate for a few days."
"Thank you, sir." Gu Xingnuo felt relieved after hearing what the doctor said. He looked at Gu Xingyan's personal servant and said, "Accompany sir to get a prescription."
"Yes," the servant bowed and accepted the order.
After the doctor bowed to Gu Xingnuo and Gu Xingyan, he followed the servant downstairs to get the medicine.
Gu Xingyan said nonchalantly, "I just don't have any strength right now. I'll be fine once the effect of the medicine wears off. Why did you hire a doctor, brother? Do I look injured?"
Gu Xingnuo tapped his second brother on the forehead and whispered, "You are a general, but you were ambushed by a group of pirates on land. Do you still have the nerve to do that?"
Gu Xingyan said helplessly: "My sister-in-law has already said something to me, big brother, please let me go."
Gu Xingnuo shook his head. Being taught a lesson by Her Royal Highness the Princess, isn’t this even more embarrassing?
Gu Xingyan said: "Didn't my family look for me?"
Gu Xingnuo said calmly: "What's going on with these pirates?"
Gu Xingyan told his eldest brother how he was kidnapped by the boss and what happened in Ruyun Mountain.
Gu Xingnuo said: "After you were captured by them, did you see anyone from outside the mountain go in?"
Gu Xingyan shook his head.
Gu Xingnuo said: "I haven't heard what those pirates said?"
Gu Xingyan said: "They don't believe that I am the second young master of the Gu family."
Gu Xingnuo said: "So they don't know the identity of His Majesty the Seventh Prince."
Gu Xingyan muttered, "How dare I let them know the identity of His Majesty the Seventh Prince? What if they are targeting His Majesty the Seventh Prince?"
Young Master Gu slapped his second brother on the forehead again and said, "You said you are the second young master of the Gu family. Those pirates didn't expect that the baby was the Seventh Prince? Where's your brain?"
Young Master Gu felt aggrieved. In the eyes of his eldest brother, it seemed that he always did everything wrong.
"Think about it carefully for me," Gu Xingnuo said, "Is there anything I left out?"
Gu Xingyan lay there thinking for a long time, then said, "I did hear them talking about the palace once, but the guards spoke too softly, so I didn't hear clearly what they said."
In the palace? Gu Xingnuo's eyes flashed coldly, and then he tucked the quilt for the second young master Gu as if nothing had happened, and said, "My sister-in-law is outside the door. I'll let her in. You can talk to her and rest if you are tired."
"Brother?"
"My grandfather and I will take care of this matter. You should take care of yourself and don't worry about it."
Seeing that his eldest brother was about to leave while talking, Gu Xingyan hurriedly asked, "The princess should have raised her head and returned to the palace, right?"
Gu Xingnuo said: "Is there something wrong with this bear?"
"No," said the second young master Gu, "I can't miss out on the bear paw."
After slapping his second brother on the hopeless forehead, Gu Xingnuo left the bedroom.
"Brother," Mrs. Lin was waiting outside the door holding Gu Xu. When she saw Gu Xingnuo coming out, she bent her knees slightly and saluted to Young Master Gu.
"The doctor said my second brother is fine," Gu Xingnuo reached out and gently touched his nephew's little face, and said to Madam Lin in a gentle voice, "I'll trouble you to take care of my second brother."
"Yes," Mrs. Lin responded quickly.
Gu Xingnuo led his men down the steps outside the corridor and walked out into the courtyard.
Her husband was carried back to the mansion, but only Gu Xingnuo came to see him. This made Mrs. Lin unhappy, but she didn't dare to show her dissatisfaction when she saw the servants waiting in the courtyard. Gu Xingnuo was the eldest son, and this family would be his sooner or later. Gu Xinglang was the current emperor's son-in-law, so he would be rich and prosperous in the future. Among the three brothers of the Gu family, it was the second branch that didn't know how they would live in the future.
Mrs. Lin held her son in her arms and walked into the bedroom with a heavy heart.
When Gu Xingnuo arrived at the old man's study, the boss had already been taken away, and the old man, Gu Xinglang and Li Yuanle all looked unhappy.
"What kind of big question is this?" Gu Xingnuo looked at the three people in the study and asked with a smile.
Li Yuanle knew that he could not hide the matter between his sister and Xiong Xiong from Gu Xingnuo. Instead of letting Gu Xiaosaner relay it, it would be better for him to tell it himself. So Young General Li recounted the grudge between their Li family and the eldest boss.
After hearing this, Gu Xingnuo sighed softly and said, "This is what Concubine Zhao meant. Xiong Xiong didn't tell the truth for Concubine Li."
Gu Xinglang asked: "Do you want to call him in for questioning again?"
Gu Xingnuo shook his head and said, "Kidnapping the prince, this kind of crime only has witnesses but no physical evidence. I think with the abilities of Concubine Zhao and Zhao Qiuming, we can't do anything to them."
"So let's just leave it at that?" Before the old man and Young Master Gu could get anxious, Young General Li got anxious first.
