Xu Wanqing lowered her voice and said softly: "This matter concerns the innocence of women. Even if you stand up and explain the situation now, it will be regarded as a fight between you and the second young lady."

If this is the case, even if Hua Yuanzhao can turn the situation around, he will be at a disadvantage, which will not be good for her.

Hua Yuanzhao frowned slightly, sneered, and said to the middle-aged man: "The late emperor was wise and allowed freedom of speech, but he never said that others were allowed to take money to destroy people's innocence!"

The middle-aged man was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and hastily explained, "I am innocent! I have never known the second young lady of the Hua family!"

"Whether you recognize him or not, the Dali Temple will be able to find out!" Hua Yuanzhao shouted angrily.

Gu Ci raised an eyebrow and made a silent gesture.

Jin Yan, who was following behind him, nodded, strode forward, grabbed the middle-aged man by the collar and dragged him out.

"Let's go! If you have anything to say, go to the Dali Temple and tell me!"

Hua Yuanzhao thanked Gu Ci calmly, and his heart was very peaceful.

After this incident, Gu Changsu might have a headache even more than her! This middle-aged man will definitely not have a good ending if he enters the Dali Temple!

Gu Ci glanced at Hua Yuanzhao who was calm and composed, thought for a moment, then smiled and invited everyone to go upstairs to the private room he often visited.

"It turned out that I made a mistake and misunderstood Miss Hua." Gu Ci smiled and sat down: "How about I treat you all to tea as an apology?"

Hua Yuanzhao waved his hands awkwardly, "Thanks to the prince, otherwise I would still be kept in the dark!"

Who would have thought that Hua Yuanshan had no bottom line at all?

Princess Lin'an pouted and tugged at Hua Yuanzhao's sleeve, like a child who didn't get any candy.

Hua Yuanzhao touched her hair, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "This time, it is also thanks to the princess's help."

"The little brat only knows how to fool around!" Rong Xiu picked up the list on the table and raised an eyebrow at Gu Ci: "Your Majesty, you are the one who invites me, right?"

Gu Ci was puzzled and nodded in agreement.

"Then list the expensive ones." Rong Xiu waved his hand at the waiter, "Also count the losses of the teahouse."

The waiter glanced at Gu Ci, and after getting his consent, he trotted downstairs and loudly announced the names of the dishes along the way.

Seeing this, Xu Wanqing wanted to leave, but couldn't find a chance to speak.

Gu Ci glanced at her, then looked at Hua Yuanzhao: "I haven't congratulated you yet, Prime Minister's Mansion, double happiness has come."

Rong Xiu touched his nose and muttered, "What's there to be happy about?"

Hua Yuanzhao glanced at Xu Wanqing, and using the table as a cover, kicked Rong Xiu in annoyance.

Rong Xiu grimaced in pain, glancing at Hua Yuanzhao without saying a word, just like a big dog that had been wronged and was waiting to be coaxed.

Hua Yuanzhao ignored him and continued talking to Gu Ci.

Gu Ci said that he had read some medical books out of boredom during the period of house arrest, and asked Hua Yuanzhao directly about things he didn't understand.

The two chatted about medical principles and actually had a very pleasant conversation.

Just as the waiter served the first round of tea, Jinyan jumped in from the window, looking slightly panicked.

The conversation was interrupted, and Gu Ci frowned unhappily: "What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

Jin Yan knelt on one knee to apologize, and after taking a breath, he said awkwardly: "When I went to the Dali Temple, I happened to see people from the Third Prince's residence looking for Miss Hua."

Hua Yuanzhao looked puzzled. She had clearly greeted the people in the Prince's Mansion before leaving today.

Could it be that the housekeeper was pretending to obey her but actually plotting against her?

"Have you found out what it was about?" Gu Ci glanced at Hua Yuanzhao.

Jin Yan lowered his head and said, "Someone was sent from the palace. The virtuous concubine wants to take Miss Hua into the palace."

Gu Changsu frowned in embarrassment, and Rong Xiu next to him almost got angry: "Why did Concubine Xian meet her?"

"The virtuous concubine... has never been an easy person to get along with." Gu Ci said carefully: "I'm afraid that the sudden call for you to enter the palace is because of the rumors."

If this is done, I'm afraid Hua Yuanzhao will inevitably be made difficult.

"Unfortunately, with my status it is inconvenient for me to enter and leave the harem. I'm afraid I can't accompany you." Gu Ci said.

Hua Yuanzhao waved his hands hurriedly: "You have helped me enough, how dare I trouble you again?"

Rong Xiu sneered, confronted Gu Ci across the tea and snacks on the table, and said nonchalantly: "Who said I need you to accompany me? What's so regretful about you?"

Before he could finish his words, Hua Yuanzhao kicked him again.

Princess Lin'an looked at the group of people with vigilance, and suddenly stepped forward, patting her chest and saying, "I can just go with Sister Hua!"

She is familiar with the harem!
