However, just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Rong Cang stepping into the palace gate with his personal guards, heading towards Changxin Palace.
The moment Gu Yilan knelt down, a strange thought came to his mind. The prince didn't think he had anything to do with the princess, right?
"Common people see His Highness the Crown Prince."
Rong Cang's eyes fell on his face and he frowned slightly: "Are you here to send information again?"
Gu Yilan was silent for a moment, lowered his head and said, "Yes."
Rong Cang didn't comment, walked to Chu Yunfei and sat down next to him: "What news did he get?"
"Chu Yuxiao was promoted to the Forbidden Army and is now on duty at the back door of the Abandoned Prince's Mansion." Chu Yunfei poured him a cup of tea with a playful smile on her lips, "What's interesting is that Jiang Cheng sends people from time to time. Send things in through the back door of the abandoned prince's palace... By the way, I heard that Jiang Ying is pregnant."
Sure enough, in the capital where the royal family and dignitaries gather, there can never be a calm time. Whether it is a useless person or a suspension, as long as the person is not dead, there can always be trouble.
"A skinny camel is bigger than a horse. After all, Prime Minister Jiang is the head of the hundred officials in the court, and his power is much greater than that of the royal family members. His suspension is just a temporary suspension from the court, and his power is still there." Rong Cang listened without any hesitation. Feeling surprised, "Using Chu Yuxiao is nothing more than trying to involve you, the Crown Princess, in order to make people scrupulous."
It's a pity that Chu Yunfei is not someone who can be taken advantage of. She said, "How do you plan to deal with it?"
Rong Cang silently glanced at Gu Yilan who was kneeling outside. The young man who always talked about recommending himself for a pillow mat seemed out of place, but he was quite capable and could always get some hidden information in advance.
Rong Cang looked away: "Father has never dealt with the Prime Minister's Mansion. It's just that no one has impeached Prime Minister Jiang until now, but the suspension cannot stop forever."
Chu Yunfei felt that it made sense. The prime minister was still the prime minister. Even if the ministers did not blatantly defend him, they still had some scruples about impeachment.
After all, if the Prime Minister is reinstated in the future and uses his power for personal revenge, they will not be his opponents.
Rong Cang turned to look at Chu Yunfei: "Having been in the palace for so long, are you bored? Do you want to go out of the palace for a walk?"
Chu Yunfei's eyebrows moved slightly: "Leaving the palace for a walk?"
Rong Cang nodded: "As long as your body can bear it."
Chu Yunfei smiled: "Of course I can bear it."
"I'll let people prepare. In half an hour, we will leave the palace and go to the eldest princess's mansion." Rong Cang stood up and touched Chu Yunfei's head. "I'll go and deal with something first."
Chu Yunfei nodded.
Rong Cang stepped out of the palace gate and called Gu Yilan away. When he walked outside the palace gate, he asked briefly: "How are your skills?"
Gu Yilan followed Rong Cang and replied with lowered eyebrows: "If His Highness the Crown Prince has a mission, the common people will definitely be able to handle it safely for His Highness."
"In this case, let Prime Minister Gu die suddenly." Rong Cang's voice was indifferent, as if he said this very casually, without the slightest murderous intention, but the murderous intention was in the words that sounded calm.
"Yes." Gu Yilan agreed, not surprised at all, "Where are the rest of the Gu family?"
Rong Cang said: "Other people will naturally have their own fate."
Gu Yilan said nothing and followed him silently.
It wasn't until Rong Cang walked into the front hall, dismissed all the palace people, and sat down on a large soft couch that he spoke again: "Find a reliable person and find out Gu Chengye's trusted officials in various places one by one. Make up a list and leave it to me. Autumn and winter are coming, and those who deserve to be killed and those who deserve to be exiled will be dealt with."
"yes."
Rong Cang raised his eyes and looked at him: "Your goal is to take revenge on the Gu family. In two months at most, I promise to leave the head of the Gu family and Gu Chengye to your disposal."
Gu Yilan knelt down to thank him, and then asked respectfully: "Your Highness, please give me a clear explanation."
"The Gu family has a great cause. The master deserves to die, but there are many people involved. Once the Gu family collapses, it will involve thousands to tens of thousands of people, cut off their source of income, and even lead to innocent people being convicted."
Gu Yilan was startled: "His Royal Highness, you want to keep the Gu family's legacy?"
Rong Cangdan said: "Do you think you can shoulder this important task?"
Gu Yilan was surprised and stared at Rong Cang blankly, almost unable to believe what he heard.
"If you want to completely control the Gu family, in addition to the Gu family brothers, you can't keep your six uncles. You need to promote a new group of people, and the Gu family will be seriously injured." Rong Cang glanced at him casually, "Gu Yi Lan, there are only two requirements for employing people regardless of their origins, one is ability and the other is loyalty."
Gu Yilan suppressed the emotional fluctuations in his heart and kowtowed quickly: "The common people will never dare to live up to His Highness the Crown Prince's expectations. From now on, I only wish to obey His Highness the Crown Prince's orders and fight through mountains of swords and seas of fire until death."
"You don't need to go through mountains and seas of fire. Everything needs to be fought for by yourself. Take action when it's time." Rong Cang picked up a book and said, "If you don't have enough people at your disposal, I can lend you a few people."
Gu Yilan took a deep breath: "The common people don't need manpower. Thank you His Highness for your kindness. The common people will leave first."
Rong Cang didn't say anything and let him leave.
It wasn't until he walked out of the East Palace that Gu Yilan realized that he was breaking out in a cold sweat. It wasn't because he was scared, he wasn't that timid.
Gu Yilan frowned and raised his hand to touch the back of his neck. However, he stared at his sweaty fingertips. He was not scared. What was the reason for breaking into a cold sweat?
Could it be that it was too much of a surprise?
no.
Gu Yilan walked step by step outside the palace, feeling that all the scenery in front of him suddenly became unreal, like a dream, with a sense of illusion like a dream bubble.
Walk out of the palace gate and get into your carriage.
There was a man in black waiting in the carriage. He looked silent and taciturn. When he saw Gu Yilan come in, he was visibly relieved. Then he noticed a difference in his expression and whispered: "Master, what's wrong?" ?”
Gu Yilan leaned down slowly, like a lazy nobleman: "Ah Yan, this is the first time in my life that I feel that I am a human being."
The man in black was startled.
Gu Yilan suddenly laughed softly, his eyes were red from laughing, his dark eyes were misty, and his eyebrows were filled with a dazzling yet weak luster.
The man in black tightened his lips and said with unbearable eyes: "Young Master."
"It turns out that I am also a human being." Gu Yilan raised his hands to cover his eyes, mocking himself and bitterly, "This feeling of being treated as a human being... Ayan, can you understand?"
The man in black nodded: "I understand."
"Let's go." Gu Yilan sighed deeply, blinking away the mist from his eyes, "Go back and have a good sleep, and go out to do something big tonight."
