Gu Yilan could tell that Chu Yunfei was neither bluffing nor deliberately trying to tease him.
He was warned not to talk nonsense or have any inappropriate thoughts. It seemed that he was simply considering the reputation of the prince.
This can't help but surprise him.
He is a person who must clarify his doubts, so he quickly said: "The common people have a question that they can't figure out. I hope the Crown Princess can clarify it."
"what is the problem?"
"If the Crown Princess wants to avoid future troubles forever, she should just kill me with a stick."
"Aren't you sure that I won't kill you?" Chu Yunfei frowned, "Is it possible that you came here to seek death today?"
"No. But the life and death of an ant is never decided by oneself." Gu Yilan laughed at himself, "For a lowly person like me who dares to recommend myself to the prince, the princess can make me disappear in the East Palace with an order."
"Sixth Young Master is really willing to belittle himself. You dare to come to Shengjing alone and bring so much information. I don't believe you have no way to protect yourself." Chu Yunfei was a little tired of his temptation, and her tone was a little colder. cold.
Gu Yilan looked up at Chu Yunfei as if unwilling to give up, and continued to ask: "If I am used by the prince, will the prince send me to other people's beds?"
Chu Yunfei looked at him expressionlessly: "Why should I send you to someone else's bed? This question is ridiculous."
Ridiculous?
Gu Yilan thought silently. He felt that this question was not funny at all, because his aunt was the best at such methods.
But what he found unbelievable was that in a palace full of lives, there could still be a simple person like Chu Yunfei.
However, Gu Yilan knew very well that no matter how good-tempered a person was, he could not provoke him again and again, otherwise he would definitely suffer physical pain.
Thinking of this, he suppressed the emotional fluctuations in his heart, lowered his eyes and said: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Chu Yunfei said nothing.
Gu Yilan took her acquiescence, bowed, endured the pain behind him, got up and walked out.
Chu Yunfei looked at his back thoughtfully, always feeling that this person was not as... so what?
He didn't look so weak and harmless on the surface. Instead, he looked like a man full of scheming. However, Chu Yunfei still felt that Gu Yilan should not be judged by his superficial impression.
"Mo Yu."
"My subordinate is here."
"You follow him. I want to know who he has been in contact with outside the palace, where he has been, and what his habits are."
"yes."
Rong Cang was still in Tai Chi Hall, and after Chu Yunfei had lunch alone, she sat quietly in front of the window, thinking about what Gu Yilan said.
The Queen Mother's mother's family has always been in contact with King Jin'an, and now the temporary head of the Gu family also wants to show friendship to King Jin'an, and... the Chen family has contacts with the Mobei royal family.
The person the Queen Mother always wanted to support was the eldest prince. Only when the eldest prince ascended the throne could her mother's family prosper and become the most prominent and powerful family in Jingxi.
Gu Chengye knew that the imperial concubine and King Chen had lost power, and that Rong Cang was now the queen's legitimate son. Was he approaching King Jin'an just because he didn't trust Rong Cang and wanted to use King Jin'an to counter Rong Cang, or was he dreaming of getting King Chen back in his favor?
"What are you thinking about?" A low and sweet voice suddenly sounded in her ears, accompanied by a hand placed on top of her head.
Chu Yunfei came back to his senses and turned to look at Rong Cang: "Is the palace examination over?"
"Yes." Rong Cang sat beside her, held her in his arms, and caressed her belly naturally, "This year has a good sign. The top pick, second pick, and top pick are all young people, and the oldest is only twenty-seven. age."
Chu Yunfei raised his eyebrows: "Didn't you deliberately choose young people?"
"That's not true." Rong Cang laughed. "Although I have always felt that some older people have too pedantic ideas, but being older has its advantages. The essays written by the students this year are all based on the topic of the palace, and most of the topics are related to governing the country and Regarding the war, their answers were sharp, they dared to think and speak out, and their ideas and suggestions were more in line with the long-term interests of Chu State and the stability of the country."
Chu Yunfei hummed: "Gu Yilan...how do you plan to use him?"
"Gu Yilan?" Rong Cang frowned, "He came to see you?"
"Um."
A cold look flashed across Rong Cang's eyes, and just as he was about to say something, Chu Yunfei raised her hand to touch his lips: "Don't worry, I think this person can be used."
Rong Cang said: "What did she tell you?"
"He said that Gu Chengye is in contact with King Jin'an, and the Queen Mother's mother clan, the Chen family, has also been in contact with King Jin'an." Chu Yunfei turned to look out the window, "Although he wants to be the prince's male favorite, I will never do it. I will agree, but this person looks unattractive, but his skills are obviously good, so he can stay around and use it."
It's better than being taken advantage of by others.
The more people have no bottom line, the more cautious they should be.
"He also told me a very important news." Chu Yunfei frowned, "Gu Chengye sent people to the southern border to falsely spread the news, making Zhongyi Marquis and the eldest princess think that Qi Jin was accused of collaborating with the enemy and being imprisoned. They are in disarray.”
When Rong Cang heard these words, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and his eyebrows were deep and unpredictable.
King Jin'an, Gu Chengye, the Chen family, the Mobei royal family...
Chu Yunfei leaned on his shoulder and said in a lazy voice: "Although it is not yet certain whether what Gu Yilan said is true, we should take precautions as early as possible to prevent Marquis Zhongyi and the eldest princess from falling into the trap of alienating each other."
Rong Cang hummed and turned his head to stare at her face: "Aren't you angry?"
"Why are you angry?" Chu Yunfei was slightly surprised and turned her head to look at him, "Gu Yilan recommended himself as a pillow mat?"
Rong Cang didn't know if this was the first time he encountered this kind of thing, but his face looked really unhappy: "Yeah."
"He's just a mean talker. If you really want him to warm the bed, I'm afraid he'll run faster than anyone else." Chu Yunfei frowned and guessed, "I always feel that he comes here with a tentative attitude."
"Why do you think so?"
"Maybe it's intuition. People who really want to serve people with Israel must have something to ask for, and people who ask for something are generally afraid of death. So here's the problem. He mentioned it once in front of you, and after being explicitly rejected by you, he still dared to Mention it again in front of me." Chu Yunfei raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "This does not seem like what someone who is afraid of death should do."
She felt that this was Gu Yilan's test, a test for both of them.
As for why he did this, and where Gu Yilan had the courage to test them, it didn't matter for the time being.
"Fei'er is right." Rong Cang put his arms around her shoulders and gently smelled the fragrance of her hair, with a feeling of lust, "Are you tired today?"
"Fortunately, the child is moving more and more frequently in the belly, which makes me feel the strong vitality." Chu Yunfei raised his hand to caress his abdomen, with a soft smile on his face, "Today I summoned the baby in the mother's harem. I checked my pulse and the doctor said the baby is a boy."
Rong Cang raised his head: "Boy? Are you sure?"
"The imperial doctor actually made a judgment two months ago, but I never asked, so they didn't say anything." Chu Yunfei's voice was calm, "The queen mother asked casually today, and the imperial doctor Sheng said it was a boy."
Rong Cang thought for a moment: "Then should we prepare a teacher for him in advance? Teachers for civil and military classes must be carefully selected. As the grandson of the emperor, he must be carefully trained from an early age——"
"Rong Cang." Chu Yunfei was really helpless, "Don't be too anxious. After the child is born, it will take at least a year before he can babble or say a few words. After the child is two years old, he can walk more steadily. He will have to wait until four or five years old for enlightenment. ?”
Rong Cang frowned and said nothing, how could the royal family only become enlightened at the age of four or five?
"You go and summon Qi Jin and the others to discuss matters first." Chu Yunfei pushed him to stand up, "Don't be too hasty about other matters, but you can't be careless about the conspiracy against the three members of Marquis Zhongyi's family. You can quickly find Qi Jin to discuss countermeasures."
Rong Cang did summon Qi Jin and Ji Ziyi, who were waiting for him in the study.
Rong Cang pulled her over and kissed her, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his voice: "My husband has spent less and less time with you recently."
"You are busy with government affairs. As a wife, I can understand." Chu Yunfei raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, "I'll wait for you after taking a shower tonight."
