Gu Fanzhi opened the memorial nervously, but after seeing its contents, he couldn't help but feel relieved.
Not that!
Emperor Wenxuan said, "You did a good job in Yanzhou last time. Just don't take risks next time."
Gu Fanzhi nodded. "I simply wanted to eliminate them quickly. The best way to find their lair was to lay out a decoy. I was uneasy about others doing it, so I took the risk. I simply did what a subject should do. The greatest credit goes to General Meng, who diligently pursued these traitors."
In everyone's eyes, the last time the Fourth Prince was kidnapped by criminals was actually a play directed and acted by him.
Even Bei Yutang didn't know about this. If he had known, he would have definitely ruined his plan.
Emperor Wenxuan was very satisfied with his attitude of not being arrogant or impatient and not being greedy for credit.
Gu Fanzhi felt that it was almost time, and was about to tell Emperor Wenxuan about what was happening outside when he heard the eunuch come forward and say, "Your Majesty, the Fifth and Sixth Princes are outside requesting an audience."
Emperor Wenxuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Let them in."
Gu Fanzhi had a bad feeling and hurriedly said to the seated Emperor Wenxuan, "Father, I have something to report."
Emperor Wenxuan heard the hint of urgency in his tone and was rather curious. The three of them coming here at the same time today meant something must have happened.
"What is it?"
"Your son wishes..."
He had barely finished his words when the Fifth and Sixth Princes entered the study and knelt down together, "Your Highness greets your Majesty."
Gu Fanzhi's words were interrupted.
"Everyone, get up."
"Thank you, Father."
The fifth prince and the sixth prince stood up and smiled when they looked at the fourth prince.
"Fourth brother is here too." The Sixth Prince said in surprise.
"Fifth brother, sixth brother." The fourth prince bowed to the two of them.
Emperor Wenxuan looked at his three sons and asked, "Tell me, why did you come to see me today?"
The Fourth Prince was about to speak, but the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince were already prepared. Among the three, the Fifth Prince reacted the fastest.
"Father, I came here today to tell you something happy. It just so happens that Fourth Brother is here too."
When Gu Fanzhi heard his words, he knew what they wanted to say.
"What good news?" Emperor Wenxuan's deep eyes swept over the three sons in front of him.
The Sixth Prince followed, "Father, Fourth Brother has found someone he loves, but due to their status, he dares not express his feelings to them and can only silently guard them. I'm afraid Fourth Brother came here today to ask you to help him."
"Stop talking nonsense." Gu Fanzhi's face was slightly cold.
Emperor Wenxuan was actually interested, "What kind of woman could make my son like this?"
"Father, you should have heard of this woman's name. She is from our Chang'an City, no, the most extraordinary woman in the Southern Tang Kingdom, Gu Pianran." The fifth prince said with a smile.
"Gu Pianran." Emperor Wenxuan murmured, remembering who this woman was.
"I heard that this woman is the favorite of the King of Jin."
The Sixth Prince smiled and said, "Father, you don't know. Prince Jin and Fourth Brother have the best relationship. Due to his status, he dared not express his feelings to Miss Gu, so he entrusted her to Prince Jin. With Prince Jin's protection, Miss Gu can pursue her ambitions in business as she wishes."
"Oh, there is such a thing." Emperor Wenxuan looked at Gu Fanzhi with a deep gaze.
