Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
The knocks on the door kept ringing, but no one answered.
When Gu Beichuan saw this, he frowned, and his uneasiness became more intense.
Even the hand holding the medicine couldn't help but tighten a little more.
Huainan is the fiefdom of Prince Jing. Logically speaking, Prince Jing's Mansion should be the most authoritative building in Huainan.
If under ordinary circumstances, someone dared to knock on the door like this, he would probably be beaten with a cane after being discovered by the guards.
However, today, no matter how hard Gu Beichuan knocked, there was no response.
Bang bang bang!
Bang bang bang!
Knocks on the door came one after another, echoing in the huge Prince Jing's palace.
Gu Beichuan seemed to be tireless, or in other words, he was expressing some determination by knocking on the door.
Finally, after a long time, the door opened a crack.
Xiao Hong quietly poked her head out and said, "Mr. Gu, please come back."
Gu Beichuan frowned when he heard this.
Logically speaking, Xiaohong is Miss Xiang's personal maid, and she was personally sent back to Prince Jing's Mansion by him three days ago, so she is considered a bit of a friend.
But now he asked me to come back as soon as he opened his mouth. There was something strange about it... I'm afraid.
"Xiaohong, let me ask you, is Miss Xiang at home?"
When Xiao Hong heard this, she seemed to be frozen for a moment, then nodded and said hesitantly: "Yes... yes."
Seeing Xiaohong's posture, Gu Beichuan's eyes became more suspicious. He squinted and said, "No, you are lying. Miss Xiang is no longer in Prince Jing's Mansion. Where did she go?"
When Xiao Hong heard this, she was immediately shocked. She didn't know what kind of mistake she had made, but others could see through it at a glance.
"Mr. Gu, please stop asking."
"I've said everything I need to say, you should go back early."
When Gu Beichuan heard this, his brows furrowed even more tightly and he said, "Your young lady is seriously injured. If she doesn't use my method to treat her, her condition will probably get worse."
"Where did she go? If she doesn't want to see me, just tell me. I just hope she can take this medicine back."
"No, Mr. Gu, you misunderstood. It's not that the lady doesn't want to see you, but there's nothing she can do now."
"Oh, I can't say any more. Mr. Gu, please go back quickly."
Hearing this, Gu Beichuan didn't know that something was probably wrong.
It was probably related to the group of people who took Xiang Zhirou away that day. How could they be willing to leave now?
"No, if you don't speak clearly today, I will stay in Prince Jing's Mansion."
When Xiao Hong saw this, she suddenly became anxious. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a male voice coming from behind: "Xiao Hong, Mr. Gu, please come in."
When Xiao Hong heard this, she was immediately shocked, looked back, and then said respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty."
After Xiaohong opened the door, Gu Beichuan was able to come in.
In the lobby behind the door, stood His Highness Prince Jing, who was wearing black armor and full of evil aura, but his face looked somewhat handsome, even feminine.
"Gu Beichuan, a common man, has met His Highness." Gu Beichuan bowed and bowed respectfully.
"Get up."
"Please also tell me where Miss Xiang has gone. Even if she doesn't want to see me, she should take this medicine so that she can get better."
Upon hearing this, Prince Jing stared at Gu Beichuan for a long time, then sighed slightly and answered the question, "You keep talking about Miss Xiang, but do you ever know her real name?"
"Xiang Zhirou, Miss Xiang's name is Xiang Zhirou."
Prince Jing was really startled now, and there was a visible change of emotion in his eyes when he looked at Gu Beichuan.
"Then do you know her identity?"
When Gu Beichuan heard this, he shook his head.
Not only did he not know Xiang Zhirou's life experience, he even guessed her name by himself.
Strangely enough, over the past few months, the two of them have been together almost every day, and their relationship is very deep.
But Xiang Zhirou has never taken the initiative to mention her identity to Gu Beichuan, and there is not even a similar sign.
It seems that showing his identity is an obvious burden for him.
Gu Beichuan used to think that girls were thin-skinned, but now it seems that there is a big problem.
Although Zhirou was a woman from the feudal dynasty, she always dared to love and hate, and her relationship with him didn't seem to be fake. Why didn't she dare to reveal her identity? Don't dare to express your feelings?
There must be something fishy about this.
"Please inform me, Your Majesty." Gu Beichuan leaned over and bowed again.
When King Jing saw this, his eyes showed relief, as if to say, this is right.
If you know everything, it would seem that I am a little ignorant.
"Although Zhirou is in Prince Jing's Mansion and calls me Brother Jing, she is not from my Prince Jing's Mansion, let alone my direct blood relative."
Gu Beichuan looked stern when he heard this.
In his impression, Xiang Zhirou has always been the younger sister of Prince Jing.
But now it seems that he guessed wrong from the beginning.
"But she is indeed my sister, so calling me Brother Jing is not wrong."
"What is Zhirou's true identity...?" Seeing that Prince Jing never got to the point, Gu Beichuan asked eagerly.
"The only daughter of the King of Zhenbei—Princess Anyang!"
boom!
As soon as these words came out, Gu Beichuan was shocked.
He had guessed that Xiang Zhirou had a special status and a high status.
But he never imagined that he could be so special.
Who is the King of Zhenbei? Thirty years ago, he joined the army alone, fought hard, and eventually became a military god, a legendary figure who worked with Emperor Renxuan to put down the rebellion.
And according to rumors, this man has never had any children. In his old age, he got a daughter, so he loved her very much.
Even Emperor Renxuan personally gave him the title - Anyang!
Princess Anyang was born in the north, grew up in the ice and snow, and was surrounded by troops.
She is the little princess of the entire north, and she is the opponent of the Zhenbei King and the hundreds of thousands of troops at Yumen Pass.
Such an identity is destined to be special.
For a moment, Gu Beichuan could not even associate the words Xiang Zhirou with Princess Anyang.
This news really had a big impact on him.
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, Princess Anyang has lived in the north since she was a child. King Zhenbei is even more fond of her. How can she be willing to leave the north and go to Huainan?"
When King Jing heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Gu Beichuan, you have always been a smart man and have a close relationship with Zhirou. I can tell you a few reasons why, but after leaving this door, you forgot these words. You , do you understand?"
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the common people must keep their mouths shut." Gu Beichuan spoke sincerely, showing his sincerity in this way.
Prince Jing nodded, and then his expression became even more helpless as he said, "Have you ever heard that great achievements shake the master?"
boom!
As soon as these four words came out, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Gu Beichuan froze, feeling an electric current pass through his mind, and he thought of many things in an instant.
"Over the years, as Uncle Wang of Zhenbei has become more and more popular in the military, the voices of dissatisfaction with him in the court have become louder and louder."
"Finally, three years ago, someone proposed that Princess Anyang be brought into Qiandu as a hostage!"
Prince Jing's tone was full of powerlessness.
At this moment, he seemed not to be the noble Prince Daqian, but an ordinary person who was helpless in the face of his sister's tragic experience.
