The first poisonous scholar in Daxia, starting from the abdication of the prime minister

Chapter 265: Autumn is in the air, and red apricots are blooming outside the wall...

Gu Jingzhi sat in the study, looking at several files on the desk.

These are all the information about the Cong family in Ningzhou.

The Cong family... that is, the family that the prince has been visiting recently, a family of impoverished scholars.

A scholar had two daughters, one was nineteen years old and the other was a girl of ten years old, and both were widowed.

Judging from the files, there was no problem at all with the Cong family. On the contrary, Mr. Cong had a good reputation, and his eldest daughter, Cong Qin, also had some talent.

If there is any problem, it is that this 19-year-old daughter has never been promised to anyone.

Logically, this shouldn't be the case. After all, his father was a juren. How many people would flock to such a family?

However, Shijiu Fanghua had never promised herself to anyone, so Gu Jingzhi couldn't use this as an excuse. But how could a family like this have an affair with an outsider at home?

Is it really just because of paintings that the prince and Mr. Cong have similar interests?

No no no...

Gu Jingzhi shook his head.

If it was really because they shared similar interests, there was no need for the prince to hide it from his family. Besides, Mr. Cong had never visited him.

This is very unusual.

Besides, the scent of makeup on the prince that day could not be fake.

Gu Jingzhi thought for a long time but had no clue. He called Qu Feiyan over and asked, "Is there really nothing wrong with the Cong family?"

“No problems have been found so far!”

Qu Feiyan shook her head. "The Cong family is a native of Ningzhou. This Cong family girl didn't just appear out of thin air. Although she rarely appears in public, there's nothing wrong with her!"

"That's weird!"

Gu Jingzhi was a little distressed. If they were really from a juren family, even if their education was not good, they would not allow their daughter to have an affair with a man in his thirties at home, right?

I don't think the prince would be stupid enough to reveal his identity, right?

He thought for a moment and asked, "Where's Jin Lehuang? How's she doing? Didn't she say before that she was going to plot against that person? Has anything unusual happened recently?"

"nor!"

Qu Feiyan shook her head and said, "I secretly overheard their conversations twice during this period. They just said that there was no chance to contact that person, so I am still waiting for an opportunity!"

Is that so?

Gu Jingzhi frowned slightly.

He originally thought that the eldest daughter of the Cong family was Jin Lehuang in disguise, or that she was controlled by her.

but……

He thought for a moment and said, "Keep watching the Cong family, especially the eldest daughter of the Cong family, and Jin Lehuang. Find a way to find out if this Cong family... or Cong Qin, is related to Jin Lehuang!"

"I must know whether Cong Qin is controlled by Jin Lehuang!"

This affair of the prince was too strange, there was no sign at all, he had only been away for about a month, and the two of them fell in love and even got together!

After hearing this, Qu Feiyan nodded and said, "Don't worry, sir. I will find out the truth as soon as possible!"

"Ok!"

Gu Jingzhi nodded, then said: "There is another matter that I need you to take your men to investigate secretly... Forget it!"

He thought about it and dismissed the idea.

Although there was some surprise in Qu Feiyan's eyes, she didn't ask any more questions.

She knew Gu Jingzhi's style. If he didn't intend to talk about something, it was something he shouldn't ask.

In fact, Gu Jingzhi began to think about asking her to secretly investigate whether those alien races had planted spies in Ningzhou, but considering that Qu Feiyan was already short of manpower, and these people were not as professional as the internal security.

Wouldn't it be more reasonable to let the internal security department investigate such a national event?

He said, "I will be mobilizing the internal guards to patrol the entire Ningzhou area in the near future. If you notice any of their movements during this period, pretend to be unaware of anything. Apart from what I just told you, don't worry about anything else!"

When Qu Feiyan heard this, he was slightly startled, and then he said respectfully: "I know!"

"Well, let's go!"

Gu Jingzhi waved his hand, then continued to look through the files carefully, as if trying to find something unusual in them, but he was destined to find nothing.

I put away the file with some disappointment and was thinking of going back to my room to rest.

Xian'er's voice suddenly sounded outside the study.

"Lord……"

"What's the matter?"

Gu Jingzhi opened the study door curiously, but saw outside the door... Xian'er was followed by a person, a person covered in a cloak!

Gu Jingzhi was slightly startled when he saw who was coming.

Why is she here at this time?

Gu Jingzhi looked at Xian'er and said, "You should go back and rest first. I have something to discuss!"

Xian'er nodded and left. Gu Jingzhi led the visitor into the study and closed the door.

"Your Highness came to visit at night. I wonder why?"

The person who came was Qiao Shuwan, the woman who had a one-night stand with Gu Jingzhi.

Since that time, the two of them have consciously avoided each other. Even if they meet, it is always in some occasions with people. But today, no one knows why this woman suddenly came.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Shuwan said sadly, "He wants to take that woman as his concubine!"

"what?"

Gu Jingzhi was confused for a moment, but then he realized that Qiao Shuwan was talking about Cong Qin.

He frowned and said, "Why is Your Highness so willful?"

This was originally the prince's family affair, so he couldn't say anything. But now he was looking for loopholes everywhere, but the prince wanted to let a woman with unknown intentions into the house. Isn't this a hindrance to him?

Gu Jingzhi looked at Qiao Shuwan and asked, "Do you agree with this?"

Whenever a concubine is taken, the wife has the right to interfere, even in the royal family. However, because the royal family is somewhat different from ordinary people's families, there are not so many restrictions.

Qiao Shuwan's expression was somewhat sad as she said, "Of course I don't agree with this kind of woman, but he doesn't care what I think at all!"

"The Qiao family..."

Gu Jingzhi felt helpless.

Given the prince's current situation, if he does this, it will offend the Qiao family and will not benefit him in any way.

His entire family was exiled here, and for this, not only did they lose their official positions and titles, but their eldest son also divorced them. This sacrifice is not small, but the prince's behavior is heartbreaking.

Qiao Shuwan shook her head slightly and said, "Father and the others don't know about this, but after all, this is also a matter of the royal family. Although he has lost his position as crown prince, everyone knows what happened!"

"Even if my father knew, I'm afraid he could only say a few words in private!"

That's true!

However, Gu Jingzhi spread his hands and said, "Your Highness, this is your family affair after all. I, an outsider, cannot interfere. Besides, he is..."

He is the king and I am the minister.

Although Gu Jingzhi didn't care about this ancient thing, it was someone else's family affair, so he couldn't just go and make a fuss, right?

Qiao Shuwan untied her cloak, revealing a long red tulle dress, which exuded a charming charm unlike any other girl...

"Gulu..."

Gu Jingzhi swallowed helplessly.

"Little bastard, this isn't the first time anyway, so just help me take revenge on that bastard..."

Damn it...

(Emmm…interjection or verb, you decide for yourself!)
