Chapter 366 I'm staying here tonight
Guangzhu insisted on finishing his words, but finally couldn't hold it anymore and squatted on the ground, shaking with laughter.
She didn't dare make a sound.
After all, the prince who was climbing the wall late at night with a gloomy face was outside, and we couldn’t let him hear it even if we died!
Gu Xixi widened her eyes in surprise.
He Jinglan jumped off the bed and asked Zi Yan, "You said it was the Regent who came?"
She raised her hand and pointed at the window, incredulous, "He climbed over the wall into my Yuzhu Courtyard in the middle of the night?! Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
Zi Yan nodded helplessly, a little embarrassed, "I can't be wrong."
"Miss, have you forgotten our guards? If it weren't for the prince himself, how could he have gotten here?"
He Jinglan reacted, "Oh yeah, that's right, if it was anyone else, they would have been dead or alive by now."
Gu Xixi looked at Guangzhu who was still squatting there with mixed feelings.
From this we can see that someone is really scary in everyone's mind.
Look at this child, he is trying so hard not to laugh out loud.
He Jinglan walked back to the bed excitedly and took Gu Xixi's dress off the rack.
"He came here suddenly at this time. He must have something to ask you. Go quickly."
Gu Xixi asked suspiciously, "How do you know he only came to me? Maybe he has something else to tell us?"
He Jinglan pursed her lips and smiled, leaned forward and lowered her voice, "Let me tell you, Mu Nanzhao was very reserved when he was young. He never bothered to do things like climbing walls or trees."
"Tonight he actually climbed over several walls from the palace to here, risking being caught by the servants and losing face. This is as abnormal as red rain from the sky."
"If it's not for a special person and a special thing, I don't believe it."
Gu Xixi was silent for a while, then got dressed and stood up. "He had better have something important to do if he has to make such a scene."
The moonlight is hazy tonight, the night breeze is blowing gently, and the shadows of bamboos in the garden are swaying.
Mu Nanzhao was wearing a loose ultramarine robe with silver thread and curling grass pattern. He stood with his hands behind his back under a few tall bamboos. He was tall and slender, and looked elegant and otherworldly like an immortal in the bamboo forest.
Gu Xixi saw him as soon as she walked out of the door, and muttered to herself as she walked towards him.
Climbing the wall late at night wearing such conspicuous clothing is truly unscrupulous.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, Mu Nanzhao did not turn back, "Tomorrow morning, Jingzhao Prefecture will open a court to try Lu Jing's case."
Gu Xixi was slightly startled, "So fast?"
Hearing that it was indeed a serious matter, she took two quick steps forward and looked at him from the side.
"When I was watching the top scholar parade at noon, I heard people talking about whether Fan Dongping was the illegitimate son of Lord Fan."
"You are the one who tried the man. The court will be held in Jingzhao Prefecture tomorrow. Could it be related to this?"
Mu Nanzhao turned to look at Gu Xixi, "The illegitimate child is just an appearance."
"In fact, Fan Dongping is the youngest son of Prince Yong's concubine."
Gu Xixi suddenly opened her eyes wide.
After she traveled through the book, in order to adapt to the life in the Daye Dynasty, she also read a lot of history of the dynasty.
Prince Yong was the late emperor's half-brother, born to Empress Huide.
Before the previous emperor was granted the title of Crown Prince, Prince Yong was sentenced to beheading along with his entire family for multiple crimes including treason and high treason.
According to records, no one from the lineage of King Yong was spared, regardless of gender, age or status.
Then what about Fan Dongping?
Mu Nanzhao saw what Gu Xixi was thinking and said, "His biological mother was a woman from a music studio."
"When Prince Yong was killed, she had not yet given birth. She must have been hidden by Lord Fan."
"Fan Dongping does not know his own background."
"In order to conceal his tracks, Lord Fan raised the child in Nanyi County and sent people to take good care of him."
"But the Fan family was very greedy and gave him the surname Fan, hoping that he would recognize the ties with the Fan family from an early age."
“If the opportunity comes one day, and his legitimate bloodline is announced to the world, it may be possible to push him to the throne of the Dragon Riding, and make him a puppet of the Fan family from then on.”
“It’s just a pity.”
"Your Majesty has been hiding his incompetence for many years. Your character, will, talent and ability are all those of a true master of the world."
"The Fan family has spent a lot of money and effort for many years, but in the end they only raised a crazy waste."
Gu Xixi roughly guessed Mu Nanzhao's intention.
"You want to use Lu Jing's case to have Jingzhao Prefecture hold an open trial of Fan Dongping, and then use Fan Dongping to implicate Lord Fan and the Fan family, and charge them with multiple crimes at once, like a thunderbolt."
I think even the evidence has been prepared at such a fast speed that it doesn't give the Fan family any chance to breathe.
Mu Nanzhao looked at Gu Xixi with a smile and admiration.
"So this time the progress was rapid, and the Dong family's capture of Fan Dongping alive should be credited with the primary achievement."
When he called her "Boss", his voice was magnetic and intimate.
Gu Xixi blushed when she heard this, "Aren't you still being mean to me and giving me a bad look?"
Mu Nanzhao said, "Let's put things in perspective. If you take risks with yourself again, I will..."
Gu Xixi raised her head and looked at him. "What do you want to do? Hit me and scold me?"
At this moment, she was standing very close to him, her eyes sparkling as she teased him with a smile and a hint of anger.
The spring breeze was blowing, and the light fragrance from her body after taking a bath seemed to have grown thin vines, winding straight into his heart from the tip of his nose...
Mu Nanzhao's momentum suddenly dissipated. He turned his eyes away and looked at the person beside him, seeming helpless and angry.
"I bought it for only a penny, how dare I hit or scold my boss."
Gu Xixi was originally waiting for Mu Nanzhao's reaction with a smile.
When she heard what he said, it was like a rabbit ran into her heart in panic.
Gu Xixi was stunned for a moment, and her provocative attitude unconsciously softened.
"Is this penny not worth the money?"
She muttered quietly, "I already said I didn't mean it."
Mu Nanzhao looked at her with a half-smile, "It will be a tough battle in Jingzhao Prefecture tomorrow morning."
Gu Xixi understood, "Don't worry, I won't go, so as not to cause you trouble."
Mu Nanzhao said, "I mean you can go and watch."
"The disguise masks I made for you two a while ago just came in handy."
Gu Xixi raised her eyes in surprise, "Really?"
Seeing her happy, Mu Nanzhao's lips curled up unconsciously, "You have made so many arrangements, you should also want to witness with your own eyes what expressions those villains will have when they find out they have been tricked."
Gu Xixi's eyes flickered, not too surprised, "You already know everything."
"I didn't mean to hide it from you."
Mu Nanzhao said calmly, "I know."
Gu Xixi paused and said, "In fact, I didn't do much. Lv Jing never gave up trying."
"Jinglan and I just went along with the situation and gave her a push."
Mu Nanzhao said, "Maybe you helped someone who deserves help."
"You helped me again."
Gu Xixi felt a little embarrassed by the compliment and wanted to end the conversation tonight. "It's hard for you, the regent, to climb over the wall to my neighbor's house in the middle of the night to tell me all this."
"Jinglan is still waiting for me to go back to sleep. If you have nothing else, please go back earlier. I will also..."
"I'm not going back." Mu Nanzhao said as if it was natural, "I'll stay here tonight."
Gu Xixi was shocked, "Ah?!"
As an adult from the modern era, she immediately thought of some complicated possibilities that were banned in the 18+ countries.
He blurted out: "No! Absolutely not!"
