Gu Huaizhi left the house, and the carriage led to the tavern named Yi Lin. It drove straight to the inner courtyard, and then went to the highly hidden third floor.

The downstairs was full of guests, but the upstairs was extremely deserted.

When Changfeng saw Gu Huaizhi entering, he closed the door and stood guard outside.

The man walked leisurely in the courtyard, walking around the three screens with pine, cypress and plum orchid patterns.

People inside have been waiting for a long time.

"They say Prince Gu loves tea, please try what I just brewed."

During Wu Xuchen's filial piety period, except when he entered the palace, he always wore plain clothes. He didn't have many accessories on his body, but after all, he was a respectable young man from Lin'an, and his temperament was not as bad as usual.

He lifted up the hem of his clothes and poured a cup of tea with his own hands. The aroma of tea lingered, and the heat turned into a stream of green smoke that swirled up.

Gu Huaizhi looked down and fell on the blue and white yellow pottery tea set.

He stepped closer and sat across from Wu Xuchen.

He held the tea cup in his slender, jade-like hands, and looked down at its quality. Then he took a sip, leaving a fragrant aroma on his lips and teeth, and a lingering aftertaste.

Obviously, he is satisfied.

"You do make good tea. What a pity." Gu Huaizhi said casually.

Wu Xuchen was puzzled: "What a pity?"

"If you get tired of being the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment in the future, you can come to our government and work as a servant."

Wu Xuchen:......

Are you serious?

Are you crazy, or am I crazy.

He didn't say anything for a long time, but he couldn't help but think deeply - if Gu Huaizhi didn't take action, he could make people angry to death with just his mouth.

Gu Huaizhi has always been a lover of talents. He was holding a tea cup, and in the smoke, Wu Xuchen could not clearly see Gu Huaizhi's expression at this moment.

However, from the man's unhurried tone, we can imagine his arrogant character.

"You have enough time to think about it. The door of the Duke's Mansion is open to you at any time."

Wu Xuchen's face was expressionless.

Gu Huaizhi gave a rare considerate greeting: "How is Grand Master Wu doing now?"

Wu Xuchen said: "After handling the funeral, I finally told him the cause of my mother's death. He has always been pedantic. He was originally led by Chi Zhang. His body became worse than before when he couldn't stand the stimulation. Now he is even more lingering on the sickbed. After all, this incident had such a great impact on him.

Da. That's fine, it's enough for me to be with Chi Zhangxu and Wei Snake, lest he lose his composure and cause trouble."

Gu Huaizhi responded lightly.

Wu Xuchen: "Old Prince Qin has been wearing small shoes for me these past few days, and has sent people to keep a close eye on me. When I saw you today, I spent a lot of time to get rid of the people who were following you."

In the past few days, Wu Xuchen also took the opportunity to visit Chi Mansion many times.

When Chi Zhang made peace with his mind, he made a marriage contract, which made the old prince of Qin believe that the affairs of the Wu Chi family were certain, which made Emperor Hui wary.

Gu Huaizhi was not surprised.

At this moment, Mr. Qin didn't dare to face Chi Zhang in a life-and-death fight, so he could only pick on the weak ones.

But Chi Zhang now regards Wu Xuchen as half of Chi's family. In order to show his attitude, he will definitely find opportunities to vent his anger on Wu Xuchen.

Over time, the old prince Qin and the Chi family will become more and more at odds with each other, and the actions of both parties in the battle for the dragon throne will become more and more serious.

Because, it is undeniable that both of them regarded the other as their biggest rival, and neither of them took Emperor Hui seriously, whose power had long been eclipsed.

Wu Xuchen, who has been on tenterhooks these days, said: "I sent you a letter after I heard about your return to the city. But I never thought that you would go to the palace first."

Gu Huaizhi leaned back and looked at Wu Xuchen, whose eyes were green, with disgust: "It's settled. Mr. Qin won't put pressure on you in the near future."

Wu Xuchen:???He hasn’t said anything yet!

Can he finally get a good night's sleep?

Even though he didn't want to admit it, he knew that with Gu Huaizhi in Lin'an, he would feel much more at ease.

Chi Zhang is a scheming person. It is extremely difficult to gain his trust, and he is always on guard.

Even now, even though the two families are engaged, Chi Zhang does not completely trust him.

If it weren't for the secret guard sent by Gu Huaizhi to protect him, Wu Xuchen would never have thought that besides the people from Prince Qin and Chi Zhang, the people secretly watching him were observing his every move.

Wu Xuchen: "What do you mean?"

Gu Huaizhi was impatient and obviously didn't want to say more. But after all, Wu Xuchen made a good cup of tea, so he responded perfunctorily.

"Old Qin will be pestered by that idiot in the palace next. Naturally, he won't have time to deal with you."

He smiled faintly: "It's rare to see a dog eating a dog scene. You should take a closer look when the time comes."

Wu Xuchen:......

For more than ten years, Emperor Hui also used ruthless methods. If he had not sought a way to immortality, his health would have become worse and worse, resulting in his inability to do what he wanted, and his rights being repeatedly exploited. How could he have ended up in this situation?

To say he is a fool is quite accurate.

Wu Xuchen organized his words: "So, before coming here, you tempted them to bite dogs in the palace?"

Gu Huaizhi raised his eyelids sleepily.

But the ears are not clean.

Why does Wu Xuchen talk so much!!!

The prince's expression was indifferent, and he was having a hard time making a choice between telling Wu Xuchen to shut up or telling him to go away.

Wu Xuchen was clever and gave him another cup of tea: "I bought the tea from the Hu people who came from Lin'an to do business at a high price. It is hard to find in the market. If you like it, I will bring it to you later."

Such a person can not only make tea, but also act according to people's faces. Do you really not want to work with him as a servant?

Gu Huaizhi lowered his head to look at his empty fingertips. He always felt that something was missing.

"I heard that you bought a piece of jade at Tengge the year before last."

"Yes, that piece of jade is as pure as natural and shaped like a Pixiu. It looked good to me, so I placed it in the house to ward off evil spirits."

Gu Huaizhi glanced at him and said in a lazy and low tone: "If you want to give it to me, I won't accept it."

Wu Xuchen:!!!

Who is going to give it to you!!!

How can you, a dignified prince, be so shameless!

Wu Xuchen's face was expressionless: "I'll bring it to you later along with the tea."

Gu Huaizhi nodded reservedly, and then answered Wu Xuchen's previous question in a eloquent voice: "Seduction? It's clear that the two of them had their own agenda and fell into the trap."

His thin lips moved: "Before coming here, I went to the Sheng family to pick up my wife."

Wu Xuchen:???

He couldn't believe it: "I'm eagerly waiting for you, but I don't dare to stay any longer, and I'm rushing back. Why don't you just leave me alone? Can't you see me, and then pick up the Crown Princess? Just pick her up, that's all.

You sent me back to the Duke's mansion and went through a lot of trouble before you came to find me?"

Gu Huaizhi was silent for a few seconds, obviously digesting Wu Xuchen's words.

He frowned and his tone became harsh.

The man said slowly: "You alone want to compete with her?"

Wu Xuchen: "I can pick her up anytime I want. This is my business!"

Although he knew that Gu Huaizhi must be measured, this made him very unhappy.

Gu Huaizhi put down the tea cup and said slowly and word by word: "After all, I don't have a family, so I don't know how to be considerate to others."
