Jun Moyi looked at Gu Huaizhi. Although the expression on his face did not change, the warmth in his eyes disappeared in an instant.
"You are joking, my prince. How could the Duke of Qi be so wealthy that he doesn't even have a place to live?"
As if he had expected his refusal, Gu Huaizhi didn't say much, but the next moment he set his eyes on Sang Liwan.
Gu Huaizhi still smiled, "Prince An rejected me. I wonder if Princess An is willing to take me in for the next period of time?"
Sang Liwan was stunned for a moment, then pointed a finger at himself, "Me?"
She had never expected that Gu Huaizhi would ask her such a question in public, as if there was some kind of relationship between them.
Sang Liwan felt a little at a loss for a moment. She subconsciously glanced at Jun Moyi who was sitting next to her. Sure enough, his face had become gloomy and his eyes were staring at Gu Huaizhi as sharp as a knife.
"Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to ask this question, my lord?"
Gu Huaizhi didn't seem to care about Jun Moyi's gloomy expression. Instead, he looked innocent and said, "If the prince disagrees, then I will have no choice but to ask the princess."
[Tsk tsk tsk, this is the first time I've met someone with a thicker skin than Jun Moyi. This is really eye-opening.]
This guy seems a little strange. Everyone is avoiding us right now, fearing they might be implicated in the assassination. Why is he rushing forward?
He said he had just arrived in Beijing and didn't even have a place to stay, yet he knew everything about the city like the back of his hand. There must be something wrong with him.
Sang Liwan was thinking about Gu Huaizhi in her mind, and Jun Moyi heard it all.
Although he was unhappy, he knew that what Sang Liwan thought was true.
There must be something wrong when things are abnormal. In the current situation, Gu Huaizhi keeps getting closer to them, which is very strange in itself.
Maybe he had a hand in what happened tonight.
Jun Moyi's eyes were slightly deep, and he didn't say anything.
No matter how curious he was, he would not bring a man who obviously had intentions towards his princess back to his home.
The saying of letting a wolf into the house is still fresh in his mind, and he will not make such a mistake.
However, some people just don't let him have his way.
Just when Jun Moyi was about to refuse again, he heard the emperor's voice.
"In that case, the Crown Prince will live in Prince An's Mansion first, and move in after the Duke's Mansion is renovated."
Hearing this, Gu Huaizhi waved his hand nonchalantly, "No hurry, no hurry. Anyway, I can't stay in the capital for too long. By the time the Duke's Mansion is repaired, I might have already left the capital. I think the Prince An Mansion is excellent."
Hearing him say this, the emperor didn't say much, but just said lightly: "As long as the prince likes it."
The matter of the Prince of Qi moving into Prince An's Mansion was decided, and from beginning to end, no one asked Jun Moyi's opinion.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, this matter only made them think that the emperor really valued His Royal Highness Prince An, and even entrusted matters such as entertaining the Prince of Qi to Prince An.
But come to think of it, the Second Prince probably can't do such a thing.
Jun Moyi was so angry that he laughed at Gu Huaizhi's shamelessness.
He gently twirled the Buddhist beads in his hand and said calmly, "The Prince An's Mansion is currently in turmoil, with unsolved cases. Isn't the Crown Prince afraid of being implicated by me?"
He was referring to the assassination tonight.
However, Gu Huaizhi seemed to not take this matter to heart at all, and seemed to trust Sang Liwan and Jun Moyi very much.
"The truth will be determined by fate. Anyway, I believe in the prince and princess. I know that what happened tonight was definitely not done by you."
"Really?" Jun Moyi's voice was tinged with laughter. "If the Crown Prince does this, isn't he going against the Queen?"
As he spoke, he did not forget to glance at the queen, whose face was as dark as a stone. It was obvious that she had heard their conversation clearly.
Gu Huaizhi spun the folding fan in his hand. "Your Highness, what you said is not true. Your Highness is only concerned about the Emperor's comfort, so she wants to find out the truth. How could she possibly want to frame Your Highness and the Princess? Am I right, Your Highness?"
The Queen's face at this moment was as black as the bottom of a pot, but at this moment, when Gu Huaizhi asked her in public, not only could she not get angry, but she had to force a smile and nodded affirmatively, "Your Highness is right."
After hearing the Queen's words, Gu Huaizhi looked at Jun Moyi again.
He shrugged, meaning, you see, the Queen Mother said you were overthinking it.
Jun Moyi's eyebrows moved slightly. Although he still disliked Gu Huaizhi, seeing him making the queen have a heart attack in public, he felt that this man seemed a lot more pleasing to the eye.
Still annoying though.
With the emperor's order, everyone went home and waited for orders, except Prince An and his wife. They were two people when they came, but became three people when they left.
After leaving the palace, Gu Huaizhi even went a step further and wanted to ride in the same carriage with the two of them.
Seeing him being so pushy, Jun Moyi frowned and said, "Since the prince didn't come here on foot, why did he have to ride in the same carriage with my wife and me?"
Gu Huaizhi raised his eyebrows. "But what if I get on my own carriage and the prince goes back and locks the door and won't let me in?"
Jun Moyi felt as if his breath was stuck in his throat. He had never seen such a shameless person.
No, maybe I have.
He subconsciously turned his head to look at Sang Liwan, who had been following him pretending to be a decoration.
Seeing his eyes on her, Sang Liwan immediately became unwilling, "I didn't do anything, why are you looking at me?"
Jun Moyi felt depressed.
Sure enough, it was this familiar feeling.
In the end, due to Gu Huaizhi's tantrum, the three of them rode in the same carriage.
Because of the presence of the chatterbox Gu Huaizhi, the carriage was almost never quiet on the way back.
Jun Moyi closed his eyes and asked, "Are you thirsty, my lord?"
A normal person would know to shut up when hearing something like this.
But Gu Huaizhi was an abnormal person. He felt it seriously and nodded, "I am a little thirsty. Is there any tea in the carriage, Your Majesty?"
"Pfft." Sang Liwan, who had been holding back from saying anything, couldn't hold it back anymore after hearing this and burst out laughing.
Seeing that the two men in the carriage were looking at her, she quickly waved her hands and said, "Don't worry about me, go on, go on."
Gu Huaizhi saw that Sang Liwan had a calm expression on his face and didn't seem worried at all about what happened tonight, and he felt a little curious.
"Aren't you worried, Princess?"
"What are you worried about?"
"Of course it's what happened tonight." Gu Huaizhi said whatever he wanted to say. "Tonight's incident looked like an attempt to assassinate the emperor, but in reality, it was aimed at the princess."
As if she had not expected him to be so straightforward, Sang Liwan narrowed her eyes.
