Chapter 293 Tell the truth
Gu Zhiheng comforted Ji Qianxue and showed an apologetic look: "Qianxue, since the prince is looking for me at this moment, there must be something important that cannot be avoided. Wait for me at home, okay?"
I originally agreed to accompany her all the time these days, but now I have to break the promise.
Ji Qianxue looked considerate: "It's okay, Zhiheng, business is important. There's no need to rush back. I'll be waiting for you at home."
"Okay, if you really come back too late, you can rest first when you are tired." Gu Zhiheng kissed her on the lips, then stood up and prepared to leave.
However, at this time, the maid Xiao He also suddenly walked in and said: "Madam, Miss Shen asked you to go to Tingfeng Pavilion for a talk. Madam, can you go?"
Ji Qianxue was stunned, looked at each other and Gu Zhiheng, and couldn't help laughing.
She spoke slowly: "Qingyun always behaves in a measured way. If he makes an appointment with me right now, I'm afraid he has something to talk about. Since the appointment is all at Tingfeng Pavilion, why don't we go together."
Gu Zhiheng nodded and went out with Ji Qianxue.
The two arrived at Tingfeng Pavilion and were led into different rooms.
Gu Zhiheng saw Prince Li in the room and bowed respectfully to him: "Your Majesty, I wonder what important matter you are looking for?"
Si Moli motioned him to sit down, and first told him a lot about the Sixth Prince's gang members. The two discussed some details about what official duties these people would have in the future that would be transferred to Gu Zhiheng, so that he could prepare early.
Immediately, Si Moli thought for a while and said in a deep voice: "There is one more thing that I think it is necessary to tell you the truth."
Seeing his serious expression, Gu Zhiheng also nodded seriously and said: "Your Majesty, please speak."
Si Moli took a sip of tea, looked at him and said: "Before Qiu Wei, your mother was seriously ill, and I once gave you money. But in fact, it was Miss Ji who gave the money to Miss Shen, and finally I gave it to you. I came to pass it on to you. Now that you are married, there is no harm in telling it. Naturally, I cannot hide this kindness."
Gu Zhiheng thought Si Moli was going to talk about the sixth prince, but he didn't expect it to be something like this.
He had always been smart, but at this moment he was a little overwhelmed. He asked in disbelief: "My lord, you said that the money you paid for my mother's medical treatment was actually given by Qianxue?"
Si Moli nodded: "So speaking of it, Miss Ji is the benefactor of your family. I didn't say it before because I was afraid of affecting her reputation. When she took out the money, she was also worried that you wouldn't be able to take the exam. Fortunately now It seems that you have indeed lived up to her intentions."
Gu Zhiheng was dumbfounded, why would Qianxue give him money?
He just felt a little dizzy, and an incredible idea formed in his mind.
So, Qianxue has been secretly paying attention to him since a long time ago?
It turned out that it was not just him who had feelings for her, but that they were both in love and polite at that time, and they secretly guarded the flutter in their hearts.
Gu Zhiheng felt the sweetness in his heart that he had never felt before. At this moment, he really wanted to see Ji Qianxue right away, hug her and thank her.
After regaining his composure, he bowed to Si Moli again: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for telling me this, but no matter what, Your Majesty, you are kind to my family, and I will do my best to do things for Your Majesty in the future."
Si Moli nodded and drank tea quietly, but had no intention of letting him go.
Gu Zhiheng suddenly reacted and said tentatively: "Your Majesty, in fact, you invited me to Tingfeng Pavilion today so that Miss Shen can invite Qianxue out, right?"
Si Moli nodded without hesitation.
After all, it’s not that we need to rush to deal with the Sixth Prince’s affairs right away today. It’s perfectly fine to wait until his wedding is over in three days. As for Ji Qianxue’s kindness to him, she has kept it secret for so long, so naturally there is no rush. .
But King Li still chose to call him out on the first day of his wedding.
Such a coincidence, Shen Qingyun also called Ji Qianxue at the same time.
Knowing that there might be something private to discuss between them, Gu Zhiheng did not panic and sat quietly waiting.
In another room, Ji Qianxue and Shen Qingyun had also gathered together.
"Qingyun, you suddenly called me out, but what do you want to tell me?" Ji Qianxue asked with a smile, eating some snacks by herself.
Seeing her calm expression, as if nothing had happened, Shen Qingyun frowned slightly and asked tentatively: "You got married in a blink of an eye, how kind is Mr. Gu to you?"
Ji Qianxue smiled and nodded, but when she thought about Yuan Pa, sadness still appeared in her eyes.
But such a matter was too private, and Shen Qingyun was still a girl, so she didn't know how to talk to Shen Qingyun.
But she was really at a loss and wanted to talk to someone. She was also worried that this incident would create hidden dangers in the future.
Shen Qingyun was keenly aware of the difference in Ji Qianxue's mood. After thinking about it, he took the initiative and said, "Actually, there is something I want to tell you. It's a reminder."
Facing her doubtful gaze, Shen Qingyun sorted out his words: "When Prince Li was interrogating the Sixth Prince's men, someone confessed that the Sixth Prince had wanted to attack the two of us and was preparing to send secret guards to quietly destroy our innocence. .So he sent a secret guard to sneak into Ji Mansion to treat you..."
Speaking of this, Shen Qingyun found it difficult to speak.
Ji Qianxue's eyes suddenly widened, and her lips trembled as she asked, "Qingyun, when was that? How could I not know at all that he, he actually used such despicable methods..."
Shen Qingyun looked embarrassed and said cryptically: "Just before you got married, I was worried that this matter would cause misunderstandings for you, so I was anxious to tell you just in case."
"It's like this..." Ji Qianxue murmured, her face as pale as paper, and suppressed tears welled up.
She held Shen Qingyun's hand and talked about Yuan Pa incoherently, with anger, fear, regret and other emotions intertwined in her eyes.
Unexpectedly, all this was a conspiracy of the Sixth Prince. Fortunately, he learned that the person sent was a woman, but even so, Ji Qianxue hated Si Mingxuan deeply.
They discussed whether to tell Gu Zhiheng the truth about this matter.
Han Shuang suddenly arrived at Shen Qingyun's side: "Miss, the female secret guard was found out. She is the same one who was caught in the Sixth Prince's Mansion before."
Ji Qianxue was shocked and looked at Hanshuang.
Shen Qingyun motioned for her to continue.
Hanshuang frowned: "But according to our interrogation, she said that she didn't succeed at all that night because a maid came, and she ran away for fear of being discovered."
Shen Qingyun looked at Ji Qianxue, thinking about Yuan Pa, and hesitated: "Could she be lying?"
Hanshuang thought for a while, but still shook his head: "We tried our best and gave her special medicine. It should be the truth."
