Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Chapter 766 I'll Make You Anxious

After arranging this matter, Gu Chan didn't want to say anything more and gave the order directly.

"Manager Xu, starting from tomorrow, you will use your Zuichunlou as your base and start to secretly recruit talented women. Remember, all actions must be kept secret and no news should leak out. Otherwise, if you encounter any danger, I will not be responsible."

"Yes, Your Highness." Xu Xing'er responded solemnly.

"Then go ahead!" Gu Chan waved her hand and said.

Xu Xing'er nodded and immediately took her leave.

After she left, Ouyang Wan'er said, "Husband, can this woman really be trusted?"

"Don't worry, no matter whether she believes it or not, I have a backup plan. And to be frank, it's best if she doesn't believe it. I even hope she is someone else's subordinate!" Gu Chan said with a wicked smile.

In fact, from the very beginning, she had considered that Xu Xing'er might be a subordinate of some other important figure in Kyoto. After all, in a place like Kyoto where many hidden talents are, it is normal for a strong man to place his subordinates in the streets to hide his tracks.

So she doesn't care about this at all.

Of course, if Xu Xing'er is a piece of gold that has not yet been discovered and she happens to find her and use her for her own benefit, then it will be a hundred benefits and no harm to her.

Therefore, no matter whether this matter is good or bad, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages to her, so why not do it?
Ouyang Wan'er and the other two understood Gu Chan's thoughts and no longer worried about the matter. Instead, they became worried about another thing.

Zuo Xin was the first to speak, "Husband, what about the bet you made with the old prince?"

"Yes! It may not be an easy task for you to rescue the Ninth Prince safely from the Heavenly Prison within three days!" Zi Yue shouted.

Ouyang Wan'er didn't say anything, but just looked at Gu Chan with great concern.

Gu Chan touched her chin with her hand and thought carefully for a while before saying, "Well, you guys go to sleep first and get your spirits back. From now on, whether it's Prince Chan's Mansion or our secret intelligence organization, you'll need to work hard to manage them. Just take care of these two things first. As for saving the Ninth Prince, just pretend you don't know about it. I'll find a way."

"Okay! Then my husband, you must be careful. Now is the most critical moment and you must not take it lightly." Ouyang Wan'er reminded.

Gu Chan nodded quietly.

Then the four of them said no more, and Ouyang Wan'er and the other two immediately got up and left, going back to their rooms to rest.

Gu Chan stayed in the study and fell into a deep sleep.

At noon the next day.

Just as Gu Chan was still sleeping soundly in the study, a little maid came and knocked on the door.

Gu Chan was awakened and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Your Highness, the Third Prince and the Fifth Prince are here and they want to see you." The little maid said outside the door.

"Let them wait, I'll meet them in the front lobby later." Gu Chan said unhappily.

The little maid agreed and hurried over to report.

Gu Chan got up calmly, put on her clothes, sat in front of the mirror, and began to wash and pack.

After about an incense stick of time, she slowly came to the front yard lobby. Funny thing was that at this time, the third prince Xuanyuan Feng and the fifth prince Xuanyuan Yu were both sitting in the lobby, moving around in their chairs, looking quite restless.

Seeing Gu Chan coming, they all looked up at her and said, "You are finally here."

"What's the matter? We haven't seen each other for so long. Did you miss me? Are you so anxious to see me?" Gu Chan walked to the first seat and sat down, staring at the two of them and said teasingly.

Xuanyuan Yu said angrily, "You still have the mind to joke with us! Do you know that the bet between you and the emperor's uncle has already spread among all of us in the royal family this morning?"

"Yes, Gu Chan, how can you be so bold that you dare to make such a big bet with the emperor's uncle?" Xuanyuan Feng said with his hands spread out.

Originally, the six princes had discussed that they would hand over all the six hot potatoes of the six ministries in Kyoto to Gu Chan. This way, they would be able to stay out of it.

But now if Gu Chan starts fighting with that old bastard Xuanyuan Wen, wouldn't everyone in the six departments be in a panic?

It would be fine if Gu Chan wins, but if she loses, what will the six departments do?
Gu Chan laughed and said, "I'm not anxious, so why are you anxious? If you are really worried, why don't I return all six orders to you now? You can still manage the six ministries in the future, isn't that enough?"

"You..." The two were choked speechless.

During this period of time, they had managed to send out the six departments with great difficulty. Now, how could they take them back?
Gu Chan said with a grin, "By the way, have you had lunch? How about I ask the maid to prepare bowls and chopsticks for you?"

"How can we be in the mood to eat lunch now!" Xuanyuan Feng said with a bitter face.

"Forget it, you guys sit down first. I'm really hungry. I'll eat lunch first." Gu Chan said with a wry smile.

After saying that, she told the maid to bring in lunch, and then she sat down at the table and started eating.

Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Yu just sat there, watching her eat quietly, feeling extremely anxious.

Obviously, they also understood that at this critical juncture, it was simply impossible to rescue the Ninth Prince Xuanyuan Qing from the Heavenly Prison. The time limit for the bet between Gu Chan and Xuanyuan Wen was only three days, and there would only be two days left after today.

But at present, Gu Chan seems to have no plans or actions to save Xuanyuan Qing, which makes them anxious.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Gu Chan deliberately said while eating, "My two princes, the old prince and the crown prince are fighting for the throne and are almost at the point of bloodshed, but you don't want to get involved, but instead come to me to make a bet in a hurry. Aren't you in a hurry for the wrong grave?"

"We are too self-aware. With our current strength, we cannot covet the throne."

"That's right! We are lucky to be alive now."

Both of them said with helplessness.

Gu Chan sneered and said, "Do you think that if either the Crown Prince or the old prince takes the throne, your lives will be saved? In my opinion, except for the Ninth Prince, no matter who takes the throne, the ending of you princes and princesses will not be good, right?"

"This..." The two of them were stunned by what Gu Chan said.

"Think about it carefully while I'm eating. We'll talk in detail after I finish eating." Gu Chan said with a faint smile.

After saying that, she continued to eat her lunch, leaving time for the two of them to think.

Xuanyuan Feng and Xuanyuan Yu were no longer fidgeting, but really calmed down and thought about this problem carefully.

It is obvious that the Ninth Prince is much kinder and more merciful than the old prince and the crown prince. Everyone in the royal family knows this.
