Xu Zichu glanced at Bei Mingxuan, seeing that he had no intention of speaking, so he continued, "Is that so? Gu Changan, you said that your uncle Gu Qingyun is Bei Mingye's man, so would your grandfather also support Bei Mingye?"
"I don't know." Chang'an didn't want his grandfather to be involved, and he didn't want Bei Mingxuan to know that the poison he was poisoned with was related to the Gu family. At least he didn't want Bei Mingxuan to know it now.
"Does the Queen know about the exchange of her adopted son?" Bei Mingxuan asked. "If she knew, what made her agree to exchange her own biological son?"
"Your Majesty, Miss." Wan Xin confirmed, "The Queen doesn't know that her biological child has been replaced.
As to whether the Queen knew about it, I specifically asked that person. He confirmed that the Queen did not know about it at that time. A eunuch who had a good relationship with him was working in the Queen's palace and could be considered the Queen's confidant.
But the day after the Queen gave birth, the eunuch's body was found in the lake near the Imperial Garden. At that time, the Queen mobilized many people for this dead servant.
"You specifically asked him? Who is he? This doesn't mean that the Queen doesn't know about her son's replacement." Xu Zichu asked, "You are Gu Changan's servant. It's true that Gu Changan trusts you, but that doesn't mean I can doubt what you say. Especially since this matter is of great importance."
"Believe it or not is not important." Wan Xin sneered, "This servant said this not to gain the trust of Master Xu or the prince. I am just stating the facts I know and telling my young lady."
"Aunt, please go back first. I'll trouble you to take good care of my father."
"Miss, don't worry." Wanxin left.
Chang'an's gaze fell on Bei Mingxuan, "The source of this news comes from Eunuch Yu De."
"It's indeed him." Bei Mingxuan had guessed this as early as when he appeared beside the eldest prince in Chang'an as Nan Huazi.
"Eunuch De?" Xu Zichu looked at Bei Mingxuan in surprise. "That's the little Dezi who serves the emperor."
Bei Mingxuan nodded, a half-smile on his lips.
"Alright!" The shock in Xu Zichu's eyes was obvious. "Gu Changan, tell me how you did it. The most popular person around the emperor turned out to be your man. This is much more convenient for us.
You don't know how many people I've arranged to be with the Emperor, but they were all kicked out by that old fox. After thinking about it, I don't know where the problem lies. People just can't stay."
"So, I'm Gu Chang'an, and you can only be Xu Zichu." Chang'an smiled, a hint of ridicule on his face. "I'm in the palace, and you're in the escort agency and the gambling pavilion."
“…” Xu Zichu was speechless.
Changan not only saw the surprise in Xu Zichu's eyes, but also saw a quick smile on Bei Mingxuan's lips. It was a kind of admiration, although it was fleeting.
Chang An saw everything clearly, and the smile on her face became even brighter. "Bei Mingxuan, do you think I'm right?"
Bei Mingxuan smiled and asked, "How did you know?"
Changan smiled, his eyebrows slightly raised, and said calmly, "I'm just guessing to trick you."
"!!!" Bei Mingxuan felt helpless.
This answer made him very satisfied.
Even if I doubt what she said is false.
"..." Xu Zichu was confused. So this is possible?
Chang'an smiled secretly in his heart. In fact, when he saw Xu Zichu for the first time, he felt that his figure was very familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere.
Until she accidentally heard that the Xu family had resigned from their official positions to go into business, she arranged for someone to investigate, and the investigation turned out to be insignificant.
It turned out that he, Xu Zichu, was the Silver-faced Young Master, Yin Chujiu.
Under Yin Chujiu's name were the Shengtong Escort Agency and Shengtong Bank, but the true owner behind the scenes was Bei Mingxuan. As for Boyi Pavilion, whether it was also Bei Mingxuan's property had not been determined, but one thing was certain: all the money earned from Boyi Pavilion's operations went into Shengtong Bank.
"Are you really guessing?" Xu Zichu didn't believe it.
Changan smiled, "Then why would I lie to you?"
"I can't think of it." Xu Zichu shook his head. When he looked at Chang'an again, his eyes were filled with curiosity. He deliberately asked, "Gu Chang'an, I have to admit that you are very smart, but you are a woman after all. You were jealous and fought for favor, and you even crippled Fu Xue'er's martial arts. You also poisoned her and destroyed her face."
Xu Zichu's words were so casual, but he was deliberately looking at Chang'an's expression. Sure enough, when Chang'an heard that she had poisoned Fu Xueer's face, a hint of surprise flashed across Chang'an's eyes, followed by undisguised sarcasm.
"Why aren't you talking?" Bei Mingxuan's voice was flat, making it impossible to tell what he was feeling at the moment. "You crippled her martial arts and now you're poisoning her?"
Changan was even calmer and calmer than Bei Mingxuan, “There’s nothing much to say.
If I must say it, it's the same thing: if you want to protect her, don't let her appear in front of me. Otherwise, next time, all I can take away from her is her remaining life."
"I understand." Bei Mingxuan's voice remained flat. At this moment, he knew very well that there was no explanation for Fu Xueer's provocation and accusation of poisoning her because she had never cared about what he thought, which meant that she didn't care about him as a person.
Xu Zichu on the side looked at Bei Mingxuan with a gentle smile. If he couldn't understand before, why Bei Ming Ye, who had always been protective of his people, suddenly stopped protecting Fu Xueer.
Now he sees it clearly. It's not because Fu Xueer lied, nor is it because Fu Xueer spread rumors.
It’s because Gu Changan, such an intelligent and calm woman, has her unique charm, especially her eyes, which are so clean that people yearn for them, but dare not approach them easily, just like the snow in this winter month, pure and cold.
Chang An didn't want to waste her time on irrelevant people. She said, "I think the most suitable person to act as the fuse is Qin Ye, the son of Qin Taiwei."
"Qin Ye." Xu Zichu was a little surprised. This person had actually been in their attention for a long time, but he just wanted to recruit him for his own use.
"General Qin's son." Bei Mingxuan smiled. "He's a good candidate. If he were to act as a fuse, he would be no worse than the general's son."
"Gu Shirong is also a good choice, but I can't tell how loyal Gu Qingyun is to Bei Mingye." Chang An continued, "Marshal Qin is the eldest prince's father-in-law, so he naturally supports the eldest prince.
If this is the case, then whether it is with the Crown Prince or the Fourth Prince, there is a discord between the two. These three forces are used very well by the Emperor, and they check and balance each other.
By then, as a veteran of two dynasties, he would not let the loss of his only son go, and it would be inevitable that he would find the crown prince.
As for Bei Ming Ye, who is hiding behind the scenes, if he shows his tail again, not only will General Qin not forgive him, but the emperor will not let him off easily either."
