Chapter 43 Why is His Highness here?
Gu Yuanjia once met the almighty Prince Chang'an in the capital.
He is a descendant of a noble family, with the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and his aura is so great that one dares not look directly at him.
Who could have imagined that the extremely noble King Chang'an would appear in such a common street, wearing ordinary cloth and dressed like an ordinary citizen.
As soon as Huo Zheng saw this look, he knew that the other party knew his identity. He handed the candied fruit he had just bought to Chunzhi and said to her calmly, "You go in first."
Chunzhi lowered her voice and said to Huo Qi, "He's the eldest son of the Gu family, and he's here to look for Yuzhu. Can you think of a way... to prevent him from taking Yuzhu away?"
Huo Zheng nodded, "Just stay in the room."
Chunzhi was originally very nervous when facing the young master of the Gu family and those Gu family servants, but when she saw Huo Qi coming back, she immediately felt like she had found a backbone. Although she was still a little nervous, she was obviously much more at ease.
She took the candied fruit handed to her by the man and walked into the house, looking back every few steps.
"Mr. Gu." Huo Zheng walked to the Eight Immortals Table and spoke first, "Come and sit down."
Gu Yuanjia couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes, and whispered, "Why is Your Highness here?"
Huo Zheng said calmly, "What are you doing here again?"
Gu Yuanjia smiled and said, "A kind person ran away from home. I searched for several days before finding him here. I happened to meet His Highness."
As he spoke, he immediately explained, "I have no intention of investigating Your Highness's whereabouts."
The Gu family is a famous family in Nanzhou. Gu Yuanjia naturally heard that His Royal Highness Prince Chang'an was ordered to inspect Nanzhou. However, Prince Chang'an was in Linshui Town. Who were the local officials busy entertaining in Nanzhou City these days?
This matter cannot be thought about too much.
If you think about it carefully, it can easily be regarded as an attempt to find out the secrets of a noble person.
"This is Linshui Town. There's no such thing as a highness." Huo Zheng said in a normal tone, "My name is Huo Qi."
The Prince of Chang'an hid himself in the streets and alleys of the city, so he naturally didn't want others to reveal his identity. Gu Yuanjia immediately realized this and immediately changed his words, "Brother Huo."
Huo Zheng saw that Gu Yuanjia was also a smart man. "You are from Nanzhou, so you must be old acquaintances of the local officials."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanjia immediately understood something and said, "Brother Huo, if you have any instructions, please feel free to tell me."
Huo Zheng said, "I want to collect evidence of Prince Ning's crimes. Do you dare to wade into this muddy water?"
Gu Yuanjia said, "As long as Brother Huo commands, I will go through fire and water without hesitation."
The chance meeting in the capital was due to the recommendation of a good friend to Gu Yuanjia, who was able to meet the King of Chang'an. If they could serve the King of Chang'an, he would rise to the sky one day, and these people would be able to follow him and rise to prominence in the near future.
Gu Yuanjia didn't expect that when he came to see Yuzhu, he would encounter such a good thing, so he immediately expressed his opinion.
"Okay then." Huo Zheng said in a deep voice, "There's something I need you to do right now."
Gu Yuanjia pretended to listen attentively, "Brother Huo, please speak."
Walls have ears. Huo Zheng leaned close to Gu Yuanjia's ear and whispered a few words to him.
After hearing this, Gu Yuanjia said seriously, "I've made a note of it."
Huo Zheng looked indifferent and said no more.
Gu Yuanjia stood up and said, "I will do what Brother Huo asked me to do immediately, but Yuzhu..."
Huo Zheng said, "It's no big deal if you have one less person to serve you."
"I still want to see Yuzhu." Gu Yuanjia said, "After all, we are master and servant. She is a rare and precious person to me. I have gone through so much trouble to find her here. There is no reason for me to just go back like this."
Huo Zheng glanced into the room and saw Chunzhi sitting next to Yuzhu. The two were whispering to each other, looking very intimate.
Gu Yuanjia came to Linshui Town for a maid, and the effort he put in was extraordinary.
Huo Zheng wanted to use Gu Yuanjia for his own purposes, so there was really no reason to stop him from seeing Yuzhu.
But Chunzhi treated Yuzhu as her sister and couldn't bear to see her being bullied.
He thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "You can see Yuzhu, but you can't take her away by force."
Gu Yuanjia smiled and said, "Don't worry, Brother Huo. I don't want to embarrass Yuzhu."
Huo Zheng stood up and walked to the window, knocking twice with his fingers.
Haruji stood up and walked to the window. "What did he say?"
Huo Zheng said, "Mr. Gu wants to see Yuzhu, please come out first."
Upon hearing this, Yuzhu looked up at the window.
The person who made her panic was sitting not far away, his eyebrows and eyes were the same as before, with a faint smile on his lips.
Chunzhi asked nervously, "Master Gu, do you just want to see Yuzhu, or do you want to take her away?"
Huo Zheng said: "Just a quick meeting."
Chunzhi was a little skeptical and asked, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?" Huo Zheng said, "Come here."
Chunzhi turned around and gave Yuzhu a soothing look, and said softly, "Mr. Gu just wants to see you. Don't be afraid. Just say what you need to say. Huo Qi and I are outside."
Yuzhu nodded, trying to remain calm as much as possible.
Chunzhi lifted the curtain and walked out slowly, looking up at Gu Yuanjia.
Gu Yuanjia nodded slightly at Chunzhi and walked past her. When he reached the door, he raised the folding fan in his hand and lifted the curtain to walk in. He walked gracefully and elegantly. Anyone who saw him would have to praise him as a suave and elegant young man.
But why did this man get drunk and have sex with Yuzhu, taking away her innocence?
When Chunzhi thought of this, she suddenly remembered that she had also taken advantage of her drunkenness to knock Huo Qi down.
Can't recall carefully.
My cheeks burn when I think about it.
"Don't stand here all the time. Don't worry, Gu Yuanjia won't swallow Yuzhu alive."
Huo Zheng sat back down at the eight-immortals table and sat down gracefully.
Chunzhi was indeed a little worried.
Yuzhu is pregnant. What would happen if Gu Yuanjia found out?
She sat down with Huo Qi, and kept looking back into the room. "How do you know that Gu won't eat Yuzhu alive? Yuzhu has only been with me for a few days, and Gu is already looking for her... How scary!"
Huo Zheng asked casually, "What's so scary about it?"
The greater the power in your hands, the greater your ability. Not to mention finding a runaway maid, who can be found in a few days, even catching a fugitive will require you to die at three o'clock in the morning, and you dare not keep him until five o'clock.
Chunzhi said, "Yuzhu has already been redeemed and will be a free woman from now on. What does this Master Gu want from her? Yuzhu was originally a good family, but when she was young, her father died and her mother became ill, so she was forced to sell herself into slavery. She finally saved enough money to redeem herself, but this Master Gu refused to let her go. Yuzhu ran so far, and he still chased her. Isn't it scary?"
Huo Zheng said calmly, "Once a slave, always a slave. Even if I redeem myself and return to good status, I must obey my former master's orders."
Chunzhi was a little speechless and said, "Why do you speak like you're used to being the master?"
Huo Zheng heard this and immediately said: "..."
He is just used to being the master.
Chunzhi stopped talking to him and said to herself, "These noblemen may look like decent people, but they are actually cruel and brutal."
Huo Zheng keenly sensed something and asked her, "Do you know what happened between Yuzhu and Master Gu?"
