"I know you're doing this for my own good, but I can't do this. Don't tell anyone else about this."

Gu Yunru held Shen Aojun's hand tightly. Seeing that she was also full of worry, she naturally knew that she was also giving good advice, but using a child to achieve her goal was too cruel.

"Well, I'll come see you tomorrow. You can eat all these hawthorns. They will help stimulate your appetite."

Shen Aojun gave repeated instructions and left first.

Gongsun Ningxue, who was not far away, came to a restaurant and made an appointment with a man who came to the Central Plains from Miaojiang. This man had some connection with He Jianzhong, but they were all things of the previous generation. The man had also heard of the mysterious old Taoist.

"Miss Gongsun, why are you here? People from the imperial court are trying to catch you."

The man's name was Zhu Hansan, which was not his original name. However, in order to conceal his identity and sell the Shenlong tea smoothly, he had to roam around Beijing under someone else's identity.

"Mr. Zhu, long time no see." Gongsun Ningxue smiled at him. Zhu Hansan rubbed his palms happily and stared at her. "I have heard about the Gongsun Mansion. I didn't expect that Jianzhong was in such bad luck this time. What are you going to do? Are you coming to borrow money from me?"

Zhu Hansan values ​​money more than his life. He will agree to any request from others except lending money. In troubled times, money is the most important thing for survival. No matter where you go, you have to have a place to stand. Zhu Hansan knows this very well, so he doesn't have many friends around him.

"Don't worry, it's not." Gongsun Ningxue raised the corner of her mouth indifferently, and in order to save time, she asked directly through the door and window.

"Has anyone bought Shenlong tea from you recently?"

Shenlong tea can be a kind of tea, or it can be a synonym for Gu, because in Da Qi, the word Gu cannot be spoken casually. If it is heard by someone with ulterior motives, they will probably report it to the local government. If the matter is further investigated, it may bring disaster upon one's life.

Zhu Hansan has been doing this kind of business in Beijing for more than ten years, but he has not yet started a family.

He also has some dealings with people from Jianzhong.

"Well... in a transaction, the identity of the buyer is kept secret." Zhu Hansan said, drinking the tea in the cup. Looking at Gongsun Ningxue who was trying to trick him, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Miss Gongsun, why are you asking this? Do you want to buy the Gu in my hand and harm someone?"

Zhu Hansan's bold assumption earned her a roll of eyes and she swallowed silently.

"You don't want to say it, right? If you don't say it, someone will naturally make you speak." After Gongsun Ningxue said this, she clapped her hands lightly, making some noise, and then she saw several men in black tights surrounding the box inside and out.

A man in a black python robe, with a jade-like figure, walked in from outside the door, staring at Zhu Hansan with his tiger eyes. Zhu Hansan saw that this man had an aura of majesty without anger and a hint of kingly air, and he was so scared that his butt almost fell off the chair.

"This...what is this?" Zhu Hansan looked at the man's attire and the piece of black jade hanging on his waist. The jade was quite old. Could he be a member of the royal family? How could he carry such a precious jade pendant? He was so scared that his hands were shaking.

"This is His Royal Highness Prince Zhao. It wasn't me who asked you to come here, it was His Royal Highness." Gongsun Ningxue said, ignoring the movement in front. As soon as Rong Zhen came in, she asked the guards to guard outside the door to avoid scaring Zhu Hansan.

"Zhao...King Zhao. When did Your Highness and I ever have a grudge?" Zhu Hansan asked vaguely.

His whole body was shaking slightly as he spoke. He had never seen such a big scene. He had done some petty thefts in plain sight and had been wanted by the government. At least he had someone backing him up.

Rong Zhen walked over and sat aside, asking him to sit aside, but Zhu Hansan had never seen such a big scene before. How could the dignified Prince Zhao dare to sit on the same level with him?

"Your Highness told you to sit down, so just sit down." Gongsun Ningxue said to him unhappily. Zhu Hansan had no choice but to sit down in front of him obediently, looking very respectful.

"I will ask you a question, and you just answer it."

"good."

Zhu Hansan was so nervous that his answers were incoherent, but he finally understood the purpose of these two people coming here. It turned out that they wanted him to make a list of people who had bought Shenlong tea from him in the past few days.

"Your Highness... I need to give you some time to think about this, because more and more people have come to ask for goods recently. When your highness asked me this, my mind went blank and I really can't remember it."

He said this sincerely. He had never seen such a distinguished person before. He couldn't even speak clearly when he came in front of him, let alone remember the specific people who asked him for the list.

"Okay, once you've made the list, give it to Gongsun."

"yes."

Zhu Hansan breathed a sigh of relief.

Cheng Mansion.

Gu Junyue was lying on a bamboo chair, feeling a little suffocated by the stuffy weather, and became angry when she looked at the maids around her.

"My husband, where have you been? Why hasn't he come back yet?" Gu Junyue was looking forward to seeing him day and night, because the Dali Temple had arrested some traitors who were plotting treason, so they had to interrogate them overnight.

"Miss, please don't get angry. Take this medicine. Zhu Hansan said that if you take this medicine, you will be pregnant within half a month."

The maidservant beside her said with a sweet laugh, "Gu Junyue was very lonely staying in this yard all by herself. She was only accompanied by flowers and birds every day, and never saw any human beings."

"Everyone is gone, who can I get pregnant with?" Gu Junyue got angry when she thought of this, and unhappily knocked over the medicine bowl in her hand. The servants were frightened and quickly knelt on one side. Gu Junyue became annoyed when he saw them, and waved at them to get out.

Gu Junyue looked on eagerly, hoping that there would be some commotion in the palace.

Cheng Shaoyuan still didn't come back tonight. Gu Junyue rolled her eyes and had to think of a bold solution: borrowing sperm.

She asked her personal maid to bribe a scholar to enter the mansion. After a night of happiness with Scholar He, she asked someone to send the scholar away and then kill him on the way so that there would be no evidence against him.

I thought things would be successful, but I didn't expect Zhu Hansan to quickly make a list and hand it to Gongsun Ningxue.

"Gu Junyue, don't people use aliases when buying things? How do you know this is the No. 1 Scholar's wife?"

Gongsun Ningxue looked at the list and asked about the origin in confusion. Zhu Hansan rubbed his wrist and smiled smugly, "Who am I? Should I not find out the identity of the buyer? If this person wants to kill me to silence me in the future, I can also make preparations. In our line of work, we have to be prepared for anything."

After listening to Zhu Hansan's convincing speech, Gongsun Ningxue rewarded him with some silver. Then he disappeared into the crowd and came to the palace.
