Gu Miao: My wife is thinking about me

Although the name Huang Qice has not appeared in Qiu Yanping's life for a month or two, Qiu Yanping is not unfamiliar with this name at all.

He raised his eyebrows, and the ending of his voice rose in an ambiguous tone, "Huang Qi Ce?"

Shen Shenzhi didn't know the grudges between the people present and Huang Qi Ce, Huang Yutian and Zhu Wenmin. When he heard Qiu Yanping ask this, he thought that the other party didn't know Huang Qi Ce very well. He nodded and explained, "Well, Huang Qi Ce is the current royal family..."

He had just begun to introduce himself when Qiu Yanping stopped him with a wave of his hand, "I won't save this person."

"Ah?" Shen Shenzhi was stunned. He had never thought that someone would reject a prince's commission so directly and without hesitation. He wondered if he had heard it wrongly. "Mr. Qiu said...?"

"Huang Qi Ce, I won't save this man." Qiu Yanping repeated it again. He didn't even look at Gu Wenye. He just idly swung his legs, propped up his chin, raised his eyelids lazily, and said, "There are nine words in total. Which word doesn't Mr. Shen understand?"

"But that's the prince...Mr. Qiu, don't you really want to consider it?" Shen Shenzhi was a little confused. If anyone thought of it this way, it would be a good opportunity to get in touch with the prince. Why did Qiu Yanping disdain it?

Qiu Yanping was getting a little impatient with Shen Shenzhi's questioning. He was expecting him to save someone who had once set his sights on them? That was too much of a wishful thinking.

Qiu Yanping never thought that Huang Qice was only after Gu Wenye and had never bothered Qiu Yanping himself.

When Gu Wenye saw Qiu Yanping's temper starting to get irritable, he felt amused and his eyes narrowed. In his heart, he didn't care whether Qiu Yanping went to save Huang Qice or not, but when he saw Qiu Yanping's attitude, he was slightly happy in his heart. Obviously, Qiu Yanping's attitude towards Huang Qice was because of him.

He said, "Ah Shen, wait a minute, I want to talk to Mr. Qiu."

Gu Wenle's eyes widened when he heard this. From what his elder brother said, it seemed that he wanted to persuade Qiu Yanping to save Huang Qice? Gu Wenye glanced at Gu Wenle with a slight warning and shook his head slightly.

Gu Wenle reacted. Although he still didn't understand what his elder brother was planning, it didn't look like he was going to save that person in vain, so he shut his mouth and didn't say much.

Gu Wenye, Gu Wenle and Shen Shenzhi have been friends since childhood. Gu Wenye is three years older than them. Shen Shenzhi admires this elder brother just like Gu Wenle. When he heard Gu Wenye say this, he immediately nodded and wholeheartedly believed that Gu Wenye could convince Qiu Yanping.

Qiu Yanping glanced at Gu Wenye, and reluctantly followed him to the next room of the reception hall.

"What do you want to say?" Qiu Yanping asked. Perhaps he was a little dissatisfied because he felt that Gu Wenye and he were not on the same side. His tone was a little aggressive and explosive, with a taste of indiscriminate attack.

Gu Wenye chuckled, shook his head, and said, "I know why you didn't save Huang Qi Ce. Huang Qi Ce did plot to make me unable to walk. I never thought of repaying evil with kindness, but you don't have to give up because of me."

"I don't save everyone, and I feel uncomfortable saving this kind of person." Qiu Yanping snorted lightly, implying that he didn't save Huang Qice not because of Gu Wenye.

Upon hearing this, the curve of Gu Wenye's mouth became even more obvious. He said, "Is this so... I originally wanted to trouble Mr. Qiu to take this opportunity to help me, but now it seems that it is too much to ask. So forget it." After he said that, he turned around and pretended to leave.

Qiu Yanping rolled his eyes, pulled Gu Wenye aside, and asked, "...why don't you tell me first?"

"I don't want to force Mr. Qiu to save someone he doesn't want to save..." Gu Wenye looked embarrassed.

"Well, tell me first, the standard for whether to save or not also fluctuates depending on the situation." Qiu Yanping felt that Gu Wenye was preparing for something, and when he realized this, he began to feel restless.

Gu Wenye smiled slightly, "It's like this, the guards at the Prince's Mansion are very tight and difficult to break through. I observed their shift change order and time, and there are almost no gaps. This time, Ah Shen happened to bring an opportunity and allowed outsiders to have the opportunity to enter the Prince's Mansion. This is my chance to sneak into the Prince's Mansion."

"If the Prince's Palace is guarded so strictly, how are you going to escape later?" Qiu Yanping asked.

"It's not difficult to escape." Gu Wenye said. There have always been layers of obstacles set up at the entrances, but there are many loopholes in the exits. Gu Wenye is confident that as long as he has a chance to sneak into the prince's mansion, escaping will be a piece of cake.

"What are you going to do?" Qiu Yanping asked again.

"It's just tit for tat." Gu Wenye glanced at Qiu Yanping and smiled faintly, "I won't do anything too extreme."

Gu Wenye looked gentle and kind, but Qiu Yanping found him a little unpredictable and uneasy. He rubbed his arms, bared his teeth at Gu Wenye, and said, "Why do I feel that what General Gu is going to do is not as nonchalant as he said now?"

"Mr. Qiu is very smart." Gu Wenye did not give a direct answer, but he did not deny it either. He just looked at Qiu Yanping with a gentle smile.

Seeing this, Qiu Yanping did not hesitate any longer. He said, "Since you need this opportunity, I agree to go." He thought for a moment and asked again, "Will it be too risky to go in just once? Should I delay the treatment or something?" - It can be said that he was very cooperative with the consulting industry.

Gu Wenye laughed, shook his head and said, "No need, just follow your own pace."

"Actually, I think it would be more beneficial to your actions if the Nightmare Beast could weaken Huang Qice's spirit." Qiu Yanping touched his chin and said thoughtfully, "I'll delay for a while." After he said that, he walked out without waiting for Gu Wenye's response.

Gu Wenye looked at Qiu Yanping's back with amusement. He never thought that Qiu Yanping had a lot of crooked ideas in his head.

Qiu Yanping returned to the reception room. Shen Shenzhi saw Qiu Yanping and Gu Wenye coming in one after the other. His eyes lit up slightly. He stood up and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Qiu?"

"It's not impossible for me to agree to save him, but I have some conditions. You have to double the quantity on the list I gave you before. There are also some other materials that I will attach to them and send them to you. You can pass these to Huang Qice to see. If he thinks the price is worth his life, then the deal will be successful. If he thinks it's not worth it, then let him seek other opportunities." Qiu Yanping said.

Shen Shenzhi twitched his lips, thinking of the list, which would be doubled, and there were other additional materials, the total value was estimated to be quite high, but speaking of the other party's status as a prince, it would probably be a bit painful to pay these, but it was not to the point where he could not afford it. He thought of Huang Qi Ce's instructions to invite Mr. Qiu no matter what, nodded and said, "I think the prince will be happy to pay these conditions."

"No, Mr. Shen, you should go and ask clearly and then come back to give me an answer." Qiu Yanping waved his hand and said, "What if Huang Qice is a stingy guy and doesn't want to spend a penny? Mr. Shen plans to make up for the losses himself?" Qiu Yanping was determined to delay time.

Shen Shenzhi was in a dilemma again. If he put up all these materials, he would be doomed to bankruptcy.

"Then... I'll go ask the prince again. By the way, when is Mr. Qiu free?" Shen Shenzhi planned to ask all the questions at once to avoid wasting time walking back and forth.

"I'm not as busy as Huang Qi Ce. I basically have time. Mr. Shen, you'd better confirm the time with the prince first and then check with me." Qiu Yanping said.

Shen Shenzhi thought what he said made sense, so he nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll take my leave first." He quickened his pace, intending to contact Huang Qice earlier.

"By the way, A'shen, don't spread the news that Mr. Qiu is temporarily in the General's Mansion. Mr. Qiu has some small secrets that he can't tell you about, so it's inconvenient." Gu Wenye suddenly spoke up.

Shen Shenzhi said "Oh" and agreed without hesitation, without any doubt about Gu Wenye's words.

"Hmm." Qiu Yanping made a nasal sound. He looked at Shen Shenzhi's hurried back, and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, bringing out a somewhat ill-intentioned smile.

Gu Wenle rubbed his arms and asked, not quite understanding, "Why are you still helping Huang Qi Ce?"

"Of course I have my plan." Gu Wenye didn't intend to elaborate too much, but patted his brother's shoulder and said, "Don't tell anyone else about the conflict between us and Huang Qi Ce, understand?"

Gu Wenle nodded.

In the next few days, Shen Shenzhi began to frequently go to the General's Mansion. On the first day, he came to convey Huang Qi Ce's core idea of ​​agreeing to the terms of the transaction and to arrange a time. As a result, Qiu Yanping said that he happened to be busy that day, so Shen Shenzhi had to go back to the Prince's Mansion to ask for a time again. After running back and forth for two days, Huang Qi Ce's face became worse because of the constant visits of the Nightmare Beast. The excuse of time was not suitable to be used again after being used twice. Qiu Yanping finally stopped playing tricks on Huang Qi Ce. He just confirmed that the conditions could be met by both parties, and then the two finally set a time.

It took almost half a week to go back and forth.

In fact, communication between several people could be done very simply and quickly using an optical computer. Unfortunately, Qiu Yanping said that in order to avoid being discovered, he could not use high-tech equipment such as an optical computer. He could only trouble Shen Shenzhi and the prince to relay the message back and forth.

Huang Qice had been tortured to the point that he had lost his temper and strength. Shen Shenzhi did feel that he was being teased, but as soon as this feeling emerged, Qiu Yanping had already set a time, dispelling Shen Shenzhi's illusion that he was being tortured and played with.

…

On the appointed day, Qiu Yanping rode a sky suspension car driven by a driver from the General's Mansion to the Prince's Mansion. The gate of the Prince's Mansion opened, Qiu Yanping reported his identity, and after passing the fingerprint, pupil, and teeth verification, he was confirmed to be the real Qiu Yanping before being allowed in.

Looking at the complicated identity verification, Qiu Yanping couldn't help but look around subconsciously, curious about how Gu Wenye got in.

He didn't see any movement around him, so he didn't dare to look around any further for fear of appearing strange. He followed the butler into the prince's palace, frowning slightly, somewhat worried that Gu Wenye had not been able to get in at all.

Soon, his worries were dispelled. Qiu Yanping's palm, which was hanging at his side, was suddenly gently hooked by someone. His palm trembled, and his narrow willow-leaf-shaped peach blossom eyes widened slightly. A piece of paper as thin as a cicada's wing appeared in his palm.

——I came in.

Qiu Yanping glanced at the note quickly, and just a few seconds after he finished reading it, the note suddenly disappeared without a trace.

He looked around again, but saw nothing, as if everything he had seen and felt was an illusion. Gu Wenye entered the Prince's Palace without even being noticed by himself, like a ghost.

Qiu Yanping was relieved. Of course, why would he question Gu Wenye's ability? This set of espionage operations, he would only know more and be more proficient than him. Thinking of this, Qiu Yanping no longer took these worries to heart. He followed the butler who walked in front of him to the depths of the prince's mansion. He looked around while walking and asked the situation, "When did the prince start to behave like this?"

In the prince's mansion, Qiu Yanping had to put on a show and call him prince.

The butler replied respectfully, "The prince has been having nightmares for a month and a half, and they have been particularly severe in recent days. The servants can't wake him up, and they are helpless. They can only watch the prince become increasingly haggard."

"It's been so long..." Qiu Yanping let out a light sigh, which made the housekeeper's heart skip a beat.

He curled his lips, thinking that Huang Qice's dream must be very much to the liking of the nightmare beast.
