Xiao Mingzhang, who was on the second floor not far away, turned around and saw the two people talking in front of the screen wall, and suddenly frowned.

Why did these two people get together again?

His expression darkened, and he turned to whisper to the little eunuch beside him.

When the minister who was about to report something saw this, he had to stay aside temporarily and let the regent finish his instructions.

The little eunuch understood, immediately bowed back, and walked down the stairs.

At this time, Gu Deyin was quite surprised by Qi Jinzhi's instructions. How could Princess Yuanjia get past him and make him so afraid?

They shouldn't be able to hit each other with eight poles, right?

Could it be that the little princess had persecuted him before?

She had doubts in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face. Just as she was about to respond, she saw Princess Yuanjia rushing over.

Her expression suddenly softened, and she finally no longer had to deal with Qi Jinzhi so hard.

"Princess."

She hurriedly saluted.

Princess Yuanjia immediately trotted forward and helped Gu Deyin up affectionately.

"Sister Gu, I have already said that there is no need for you and me to give this big gift. Get up quickly."

Then he turned to look at Qi Jinzhi displeasedly and said in a bad tone.

"What are you doing here at the Regent's Palace? You are not welcome here."

Qi Jinzhi opened the folding fan and shook it, "Princess, I'm not cute after hearing what you said. Isn't it because I refused to marry you back then? You little girl actually has a grudge against me. It makes no sense..."

"You bastard!"

Princess Yuanjia stepped forward angrily and wanted to kick him.

Qi Jinzhi moved out of the way very quickly without giving the little princess any face.

Princess Yuanjia was quite displeased when she didn't kick anyone, "If I hear about the marriage grant from you again, I will never spare you!"

The person who said Qi Jinzhi was still smiling. How could he listen to Princess Yuanjia’s warning?

Anyway, it's enough to make her angry. After all, this little girl is like a firecracker.

Princess Yuanjia was so angry that he almost cried.

Gu Deyin only listened to a few words and didn't understand the grudge between them for a while. It was vaguely related to the marriage.

Just as she was about to say something to comfort the little princess, she saw a little eunuch running over quickly.

As soon as the young eunuch approached, he first greeted Princess Yuanjia and then prayed for her.

"Uncle Guo, our prince invites you."

Qi Jinzhi saw the lackey around Xiao Mingzhang coming, so he stopped teasing Princess Yuanjia. After all, he really made Xiao Mingzhang's baby sister cry, so Xiao Mingzhang would definitely not be able to spare him.

He straightened his clothes, then gave Gu Deyin a slight nod, "Miss Gu, we'll see you later."

Gu Deyin nodded and said nothing more. Seeing Qi Jinzhi turn around and leave with the young eunuch.

Princess Yuanjia angrily pulled Gu Deyin towards the inner courtyard, "Let's go too."

Gu Deyin obediently followed her to the backyard and sat in the magnificent hall. Only then did she hear the little princess mention her grudges with Qi Jinzhi.

"At that time, when the late emperor was still here, he listened to someone and wanted to find a marriage for me, but he ended up pointing the finger at Qi Jinzhi..."

Having said this, Princess Yuanjia clenched her fists, obviously very angry.

Gu Deyin hurriedly comforted her, "Don't be upset, princess, this is all in the past."

Princess Yuanjia then released her fists and smiled.

"That's right. But at that time, my brother refused the marriage because I was underage. However, Qi Jinzhi is a big pervert and a hypocrite who hangs around flowers. Sister Gu, you should be careful about him, Qian Don't be fooled." The last was a warning to Gu Deyin.

Gu Deyin said with a smile, "Don't worry, princess, I know this."

"Then he is not a good person. There have been too many women who have fought for him over the years, and they were all deceived by him. And his sister is not a good person either..."

Hearing the little princess complaining about the Queen Mother, Gu Deyin took it seriously and asked suddenly.

"What kind of person is Queen Mother Qi?"

When she attended a palace banquet in her previous life, she had met Qi Meizhi, but just like when she met Xiao Mingzhang, she only glanced at him from a distance and couldn't even see the person clearly, let alone others?

"Cruel, cold-blooded, vain, cunning, arrogant..."

None of the words the little princess said were good, which made Gu Deyin speechless.

Is Qimeizhi such a bad person?

Princess Yuanjia held Gu Deyin's hand and said seriously.

"If you can, Sister Gu, you must not have anything to do with her. She eats people without tearing them apart, and she has thousands of ways to harm people."

Gu Deyin believed this. No one who could get ahead in the cannibalistic place in the palace was simple, otherwise they would have been turned into a pile of bones.

"A person of my status can't easily get close to the Queen Mother. How can I have the chance to interact with her?"

She is extremely afraid of Qi Jinzhi, let alone Qi Mei Zhi?

When you hear it, you have to retreat and protect yourself.

Princess Yuanjia smiled and said, "I'm just reminding you that apart from her son, the person she loves most is her younger brother Qi Jinzhi."

Gu Deyin has a clear understanding of this. It seems that he should be more careful when dealing with Qi Jinzhi in the future.

After saying all this nonsense, Princess Yuanjia got to the point.

She took the file from the maid's hand and handed it directly to Gu Deyin.

Gu Deyin's expression tightened, she was the little princess who knew her.

Ignoring etiquette, she hurriedly took the file from the little princess and immediately opened it to read. Sure enough, it was the confession of Xu and Xu Zhilan.

She looked quickly.

Xu initially refused to plead guilty to secretly poisoning her, and Chu Chu put everything on Xu Zhilan, but how could Zhong Shiming be so easy to deceive?

Under his deliberate guidance, Xu was convicted of murdering her.

But regarding colluding with bandits to assassinate her father, Mrs. Xu never spoke out. Even though Zhong Shiming violated the rules and used severe punishment, she still refused to let go.

Her brows furrowed.

Looking at Xu Zhilan's confession, it was much simpler. After all, she was only involved in the case of poisoning her. Moreover, she had already confessed, so there was nothing to see. She glanced at it quickly.

Finally, she closed the file with a very serious expression.

"Sister Gu, don't worry. My brother has asked Zhong Shiming to arrest Xu San's wife Mu. If we can pry her mouth open, Xu's side will be able to solve the problem."

Gu Deyin was not too optimistic. Mu was even more arrogant than Xu, and she would not confess easily.

They have to find a way to make them dog eat dog, otherwise everything will be in vain.

After thinking for a while, she suddenly held the little princess's hand and said, "Princess, I have something to ask for."

Princess Yuanjia was stunned, "Sister Gu, tell me."

Gu Deyin leaned close to Princess Yuanjia and whispered a few words into Princess Yuanjia's ear. After hearing this, Princess Yuanjia's eyes widened slightly and she nodded her head.

"Okay, Sister Gu, I'll do whatever you want."
