The crowd's curses were immediately blocked at their lips, and they just stared blankly, unable to utter a word.

"Your Highness." Prime Minister Hua was the first to react, and bowed awkwardly, "My humble concubine is so humble that Your Highness is making fun of me."

Hua Yuanshan hurriedly straightened her veil and angrily scolded Yulan, who had reported the news: "You little bitch, why didn't you announce the arrival of the distinguished guest?"

Yulan was so frightened that her face turned pale. She knelt down and apologized, saying that she was innocent.

There was no family emblem on the carriage, it looked very poor! How could she have imagined that the Fourteenth Prince was sitting inside!

"Shut up!" Prime Minister Hua glared at the two men fiercely and moved aside to make way inside.

"Your Highness's presence here brings honor to my humble abode. I, your humble servant—"

"No need to be polite." Gu Ci interrupted Prime Minister Hua with a smile, raised his hand to help him up, "It is inconvenient for the king to stay for long, and he should not have entered."

Prime Minister Hua nodded in response and smiled awkwardly.

He is an important official in the court and should not have any private relationship with this person.

"A friend of mine is seriously ill. I was in a hurry and asked Miss Hua to come and treat him." Gu Ci said slowly, "Miss Hua dressed as a man to avoid suspicion."

"What kind of diseases can she treat..." Hua Yuanshan was dissatisfied and muttered softly.

Prime Minister Hua glared at her fiercely, then smiled and said, "I see, I thought my daughter was naughty and went out to play again."

"Miss Hua has always been well-behaved, how could she be so naughty?" Gu Ci said calmly.

Hua Yuanzhao was listening nearby, secretly casting a grateful look towards him.

Good person!

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Prime Minister Hua, Gu Ci turned around and left. Before leaving, he opened his folding fan and winked at her teasingly.

"There will be another miracle doctor named Lao Hua in the future."

Hua Yuanzhao's face turned red with anger after hearing his words, but he still had to act calm as he sent him out, although he was already beaming with joy in his heart.

Gu Ci walked slowly towards the carriage. When the carriage passed the street, the driver had been replaced by another one.

Jinyan lifted the curtain and walked in, kneeling in a corner of the carriage and looking at him, opening his mouth several times and then closing it silently.

Leaning against the wall of the car, Gu Ci tapped his palm with the folding fan in his hand. After a long while, he spoke: "What do you want to ask?"

"Master..." Jin Yan asked tentatively, "Why did you save Miss Hua? She almost made you bear the crime of murdering the queen at the Spring Banquet that day."

They were merciful by not killing her!

Gu Ci paused tapping his palms, half-closed his eyes and said calmly: "After the Spring Banquet, Gu Changsu arrested her and put her in jail... I thought she couldn't escape this disaster..."

It didn't matter whether they took action or not at that time.

"Save her now because she can't die." Gu Ci said calmly.

"Because of the relationship between Master Rong and her?" Jin Yan asked.

Gu Ci shook his head, clenched his folding fan, and sighed softly: "Yuan Chunfeng has always been a stubborn person. Suicide is not suitable for him."

"Miss Hua was there when he committed suicide..." Jin Yan suddenly realized: "You are suspicious..."

"Yuan Chunfeng may have told her something, so she dared to commit suicide." Gu Ci nodded.

Jin Yan's eyes lit up: "The Tui Bei Tu is in her hands?"

Gu Ci waved his folding fan: "Not necessarily, let's wait and see what happens."

Things like this cannot be hidden, and they might be able to find clues by following the clues.

…

After saying goodbye to Gu Ci, Hua Yuanzhao returned to the yard.

There were two pieces of white paper on the small table in the yard. Beside the table, Hua Yuanzhao was holding a bracelet in one hand and applying ink on a brush in the other.

Fuling, who was guarding the door, looked at this side from afar and felt worried.

——Miss, isn’t this a waste?

Hua Yuanzhao carefully copied out the patterns on the jade pendant and bracelet. Looking at the identical patterns on the paper, he was so shocked that his hands and feet turned cold.

Sure enough, the pattern on the original owner’s biological mother’s jade bracelet was the same as the pattern on Yuan Chunfeng’s jade pendant. No wonder it looked so familiar to her.

She quickly burned the paper and waved to Fuling who was standing at the door.

"Fuling, I remember that you were the maid my mother chose for me?"

"Yes." Fuling blinked innocently, "I have been pointed to you by Madam since I was a child!"

"Then do you know who my mother's family is from?" Hua Yuanzhao asked with a frown.

Fuling was stunned for a moment, and after struggling for a long time, she said, "I only heard that your grandfather was a university scholar in the Hanlin Academy, and later returned to his hometown, leaving his wife alone in the capital..."

The master at that time was not yet the prime minister, and he and his wife were considered a good match.

But now, let’s not talk about it!

"Miss, why do you suddenly think of asking this?" Fuling asked suspiciously.

"I suddenly remembered it and asked casually." Hua Yuanzhao put away the jade pendant and bracelet guiltily, still feeling uneasy.

If it was just an ordinary family, how do you explain this bracelet?

Bracelets, jade pendants, patterns, Yuan Chunfeng, Tianshu Pavilion, Tui Bei Tu,

What is the connection between these?

Hua Yuanzhao frowned and thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out, so he simply put all the things away.

Go to sleep first and think about it tomorrow!

…

At midnight, at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, under the outer wall, next to the dog hole.

Shihu squatted by the wall and stamped his feet anxiously, using all his strength to pull the man out of the dog hole.

He patted the latter's clothes which were stained with dust and grass, and said nervously: "Hey, ancestor! Why did you have to go through here!"

Rong Xiu kicked him angrily: "It's you who made the accusation!"

He was put in solitary confinement! This mansion is surrounded like an iron barrel. If he dares to climb the wall, the archers will shoot him!

Shihu smiled awkwardly and said humbly, "Sir, I have good news."

"Speak!" Rong Xiu rolled his eyes. If this news was not worth his trouble, he would stew this unfortunate guy like a dog!

"The person who stole your jade pendant has been found!" Shihu said excitedly.
