Turning around, Su Tanxue found that Gu Qingyan was sitting under the railing behind her at some point. Before she could speak, she heard Gu Qingyan say: "I've been out for a while. Don't be afraid of catching a cold. Let's go back together." After that,

, looked at Su Tanxue, but seemed to be in no hurry to go back.

Su Tanxue didn't know how long Gu Qingyan had been here, or whether she heard something: "Qingyan..."

Gu Qingyan approached Su Tanxue: "It's rare that you took the initiative to make a friend. This is a good thing."

Who Su Tanxue knows and wants to be friends with is her own business. Gu Qingyan doesn't want to say anything more. She also hopes that Su Tanxue can understand her own affairs and make her own decisions.

Without saying anything, Gu Qingyan gently pulled Su Tanxue back to the house. Just when Hanyin came out: "Grandma."

The two shouted, and Hanyin smiled and said, "I'm getting old and can't play anymore. You guys have a good time."

After that, Hanyin went back first, and then looked at the hall. Some guests were leaving one after another, and most of the ones left were their peers. After Gu Qingyan brought Su Tanxue back, they sat together and chatted.

During this period, Baili Mo came to see Gu Qingyan and told Gu Qingyan about the meeting with Prince Yu. Gu Qingyan thought about it, made an appointment for a day, and asked Beiming to send the message.

The next day, the guests were sent away and peace returned to Qingquan Villa. Hanyin and He Jing discussed the time to go to Qingluo Temple to fulfill their vows.

"Master Kongjing has sent us news that we can prepare everything in the next few days. We can go there at any time," He Jing said.

Hanyin clan nodded. She was supposed to go before her birthday, but now she can go as early as possible: "Then let's set off tomorrow. I'll ask the younger ones later. If they are willing, they can come with us." Hanyin clan

After saying that, the people below started to prepare.

There is no doubt that Han Yan will follow, Su Tanxue will also follow, Xu Shaolin is going to Lincheng not far away to see the business of several villages, and plans to send a few people to Qingluo Temple before he leaves. Zong Yue knows that there is a mountain behind Qingluo Temple.

There were some herbal medicines, so he wanted to check them out on the way. There was nothing important at Yuhua Tower, so he was not in a hurry to go back. He thought that Gu Qingyan was going to Qingluo Temple to meet Master Kongyun to talk about Zen, so he went together.

Gu Ning and Yun Luan were invited by Han Zhuo to visit Xieyang City and then go directly back to Taohua Stream, so they did not go. With such an arrangement, Gu Qingyan had to go to the appointment tomorrow.

, to go to Qingluo Temple, Xu Shaolin proposed to let everyone go first, and he would send Gu Qingyan there later. With this arrangement, the day passed uneventfully.

In Xieyang City, Gu Qingyan arrived at the teahouse where they had arranged to meet. The waiter led him into the private room that had been set. The tea sets were set out and the tea master was ready. He was about to boil water. Su Xin stepped forward and saluted.

Said: "I'll just come."

The tea master was stunned for a moment, looked at Su Xin, saw Su Xin nodded to him again, and then withdrew.

After the tea master left, Su Xin did not sit at the coffee table, but asked Gu Qingyan to sit down. Su Xin sat on one side, helping Gu Qingyan at any time, boiling water, cleaning the tea sets, taking out the prepared tea leaves, and throwing them in.

Tea... When King Yu came in and saw the scene before him, he couldn't help but slow down his steps, secretly retreated from the servants, and even Su Xin left quietly.

Pouring a cup of tea, green smoke curls up, and a faint aroma comes with it. The tea cup placed in front of you is transparent, and the pure and clear tea soup adds a bit of charm.

Pour the tea to about half full, pick it up slowly, smell the fragrance and taste it lightly. The time is so quiet and peaceful at this moment.

Gu Qingyan raised her head and said slowly: "You came to me through them, not just to reminisce about old times."

Prince Yu smiled. His smile always made Gu Qingyan feel naughty. He said, "If I have something to do, I have to come to you privately because I'm afraid your shrewd valley owner will say that I'm looking for trouble for you."

"Isn't it time to look for trouble now?" Gu Qingyan asked back. She didn't like trouble, so she would only help these princes when she had to.

King Yu took out a pamphlet and said, "Only you can do this."

Gu Qingyan took the booklet and opened it. She knew some of the names on it, but she still asked: "What does it mean?"

King Yu explained: "This was found in Yuan Zhao's home. It was originally in the hands of the palace man. I copied it and sorted it out." He took a sip of tea and said, "The ones with marks in front are

People who have already been dealt with are dealt with by the DPRK or you."

He was talking about Gu Qingyan while looking at it. Indeed, some of the people on the first one or two pages died at her hands, such as Yuan Zhao and Princess Yong'an. These people were originally members of the Fifth Prince and were members of the Qing Party at that time.

, Gu Qingyan helped remove some.

After flipping through the pages, the crowd became a bit mixed. There were some sects that I had heard of occasionally, and some adults. Gu Qingyan asked, "Are these too?"

King Yu said: "It's not direct, but it's also related. As you can see, it's not only in the court, but also in local areas." He said slowly, "But this is not the most important point."

"Oh?" Gu Qingyan asked. Prince Yu pointed to the Yong'an column and said, "Do you still remember Princess Yong'an?"

Gu Qingyan thought about it and realized that it was a year ago. Prince Yu found her and asked her to "accidentally die" Princess Yong'an within seven days. She didn't ask the reason, so she just did it casually.

When Princess Yong'an went out, he passed by an inn on the way. Everyone heard that they were planning to eat. Gu Qingyan added some chronic poison to the ingredients and left. Seven days later, news came from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion that Princess Yong'an was seriously ill.

The disease passed away.

At night, Gu Qingyan personally sneaked into the Hou Mansion to check the body, and then left leisurely after confirming that it was correct.

"I will tell you the reason now." King Yu said, "She is also the host of Mistress Fu Tu's Gu."

After hearing this, Gu Qingyan seemed to have thought of something. Not long after the death of Princess Yong'an, it seemed that it was indeed the time when Fu Tu began to look for a host in private again.

"Do you know why you didn't tell me earlier?" Gu Qingyan didn't understand the reason why Prince Yu and the others kept this secret.

King Yu said: "The world only knows that the fifth prince died suddenly of a vicious disease, but some people in the palace know that it was due to the influence of Gu insects. The princes of the royal family are involved with the previous dynasty, and this is not something that can be said casually."

"So you suspected that someone in Futu was hiding in the palace, and then you found out the host of the mistress Gu, so you found me instead of doing it yourself?"

Gu Qingyan briefly summarized that in the three months after the sudden death of the fifth prince, many moves were made privately in the palace, and a large number of people, including palace maids, eunuchs, bodyguards, and officials were purged at a very fast pace. Gu Qingyan only regarded it as a purge.

Party members, I didn’t know there was such a level.

Fu Tu has been making many moves recently, and the palace has noticed it. They also searched a list from Yuan Zhao's home, and there are people directly related to Fu Tu. It has gone full circle, and everything seems to be back again.

Gu Qingyan sighed softly and said: "You should investigate the matters in the court for yourselves, and just say what you want to do. Also, we have already met with Fu Tu, and the new host he is looking for is with me.

By my side." Gu Qingyan originally wanted to say that she was at Qingquan Villa, but after thinking about it, she changed her story.

King Yu said: "There is a secret order in Taohua Stream, and now you need to continue to implement it. As for these people, I will send someone to tell you after I confirm it."

Gu Qingyan knew about the secret order. At that time, she heard Xu Shaolin say that one day, the secret order would need to be implemented, otherwise, Taohuajian would always be heavily implicated.

While talking, Gu Qingyan started the second course of tea. The aroma of tea filled the entire elegant room again, and King Yu sighed: "I thought this matter was over."

Originally, they believed that Yuan Zhao was the last pawn of the Fifth Prince's gang. Apart from the former rebels, they were all clean up, and the thread of floating tea naturally disappeared with the disappearance of these people. Even if he wanted to cultivate a new one

Wave, the time in between is enough for Gongzhong and Taohuajian to set up their game.

But as soon as this book came out, a lot of people were dug out. They seemed insignificant, but they were not without consequences. In addition, I heard that a new battle had begun in the world, and Fu Tu gradually appeared in front of his eyes. Time, no wait.

.

On the contrary, Gu Qingyan comforted him and said, "You should have gotten used to Fu Tu worrying about him every day."

"Then aren't there you guys outside?" King Yu said, "Besides, their vitality was severely damaged by the backlash."

"Even if your vitality is severely damaged, can't you still hide in the palace?" Gu Qingyan teased.

King Yu argued: "It was just a fish that slipped through the net, allowing them to seize the opportunity."

Gu Qingyan chuckled lightly, took the booklet, pointed at the sects above and said, "What about these?" It was inconvenient for the court to intervene in Jianghu's affairs, but if Taohuajian took action based on just a roster,

It doesn't seem right either.

"Before this, they were quite peaceful. All I know is that they were secretly helping Lao Wu gather forces. Since Lao Wu left, there has been no movement." Wang Yu said, if those people hadn't returned to the world after they returned,

There was nothing they could do about it despite the irrefutable evidence.

Gu Qingyan said: "Since they appear on this list, you also want to know if they are related to Fu Tu, right?"

Prince Yu nodded noncommittally and looked at Gu Qingyan. Gu Qingyan understood: "This matter can only be left to the third brother."

Prince Yu hummed, and Gu Qingyan said, "If it's relevant, I will solve it."

"What conditions? Talk to Shaolin? Or Baili Mo?" King Yu got the result he wanted and asked Gu Qingyan. In the past, Xu Shaolin or Baili Mo would negotiate the deal between them.

Only this time, Gu Qingyan spoke: "No, I'll talk to you."

Prince Yu looked at Gu Qingyan. The girl in front of him looked at him with firm eyes. He knew that what those eyes revealed was an important decision for Gu Qingyan: "Do you want something?"

Gu Qingyan may have never had to worry about food and clothing, so she always had no desires and demands. As long as she liked something and thought it was okay, it was considered acceptable.

Gu Qingyan said: "Not only me, but the whole Peach Blossom Stream wants it."

Gu Qingyan didn't know if it could be realized, but she felt that she might be able to take a gamble: "After this incident is over, Taohua Stream will no longer have any relationship with the palace, there will no longer be any secret guards, and there will no longer be any contact.

"

If Fu Tu can be eliminated from now on, even if there are no hidden dangers in the court, Taohuajian will one day become the talking point of others just because he has done many things for them, which will be detrimental to Taohuajian and the palace.

.

Over the years, Taohuajian has always remained neutral in the world, just for her own survival. She has seen Xu Shaolin be a multi-faceted person to balance the relationship between all parties, she has seen Zong Yue running in both directions and making puns from time to time, she has seen Baili Mo

Helpless, in fact, everyone has always been two selves because of Taohuajian's dual identity. Because of this identity, everyone has to shoulder this pressure. Gu Qingyan sees this and wants to make Taohuajian feel more relaxed in the future.

, I just want everyone to be carefree knights.

"Moreover, when the court is stabilized one day, you don't want anyone to say that there is an imperial concubine in Nanwan who is the fourth girl of Peach Blossom Stream, that ruthless and blood-stained murderer. Civil servants and historians all agree that this is not good."

Taohuajian has a connection with the imperial court. This matter is not a secret in Nanwan. Even people who don't know can find out with a little inquiry. After all, the marriage between Yunluan Changdiji and the second master of Taohuajian was a marriage granted by the late emperor.

Gu Qingyan still had the title Qinrui Emperor Ji in the court.

After Gu Qingyan finished speaking, he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled brightly. For some reason, Prince Yu suddenly felt that the Gu Qingyan in front of him was a little ethereal. Accompanied by the fragrance of tea and green smoke, he felt a little intangible: "Yan'er, what do you want to do?"

They rarely call each other, but this name came out of his mouth.

Gu Qingyan poured another cup of tea for him and said: "When the floating tea is gone, there will be no more four girls from Peach Blossom Stream. As for Emperor Qinrui, don't you have your own ideas?"

King Yu couldn't make the decision on his own. After all, in their eyes, some things couldn't be readily agreed to: "I will give you an answer, but not now." Gu Qingyan also knew it, so she didn't say any more.

I saw King Yu put away the manual and took out a brocade box. Gu Qingyan opened it and looked at it. Inside was an exquisite and small hand stove. King Yu said: "The other day I saw a hand stove with a beautiful style, so I drew it and asked the craftsman to make one.
