Queen is fearless

Chapter 390 Gu Shenzhi's Decision
In the study room, there was a lot of official documents that needed to be processed. Gu Anzhi sat at the desk, picked up a copy, and started to process it.

"General, would you like to eat something first?" During this time, Gu Anzhi seldom ate or drank, otherwise he wouldn't be in such a mess.

"No, just prepare a pot of strong tea for me." While watching, Gu Anzhi ordered, the lieutenant hesitated for a moment, and responded.

He went to the kitchen and ordered tea to be prepared, so that while drinking tea, he could have a few snacks, which was better than nothing at all.

When the tea was ready, the deputy general took it back to the study and placed it beside Gu Anzhi. Gu Anzhi thanked him, took a sip of tea, and continued to process the official documents.

It would take a lot of time to process a lot of official documents, so the deputy general left for the time being so that Gu Anzhi could concentrate on his official duties.

……

"My lady, Lian Xiuyi is here." In Fengyang Palace, Zi Yuan's voice came from outside the palace.

Gu Jinzhi responded and asked someone to invite Lian Xiuyi in.

Accompanying Lian Xiuyi was Hong Xiu. During this time, she had been taking care of Lian Xiuyi.

With Yun Ni's recuperation prescription and Hong Xiu's meticulous care, Lian Xiuyi recovered very well.

"Excuse me, come and sit quickly." Seeing her entering the hall, Gu Jinzhi dismissed her courtesy, and beckoned her to come and sit.

After thanking Lian Xiuyi, she sat on a chair not far from Gu Jinzhi.

Looking at her, Gu Jinzhi nodded, "It seems that she is recovering well, and her complexion is much better than before."

After Lian Xiuyi woke up, Gu Jin would send someone to ask her every now and then, and would occasionally visit her. Compared to the last time she saw her, she looked better.

"Thank you for your concern. It's all thanks to Hongxiu and Zhishu. If they hadn't taken good care of me, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Smiling and speaking, Lian Xiuyi looked at Hongxiu with gratitude in his words.

"Lian Xiuyi is being polite." Hongxiu blessed Fushen, she was ordered to take care of Lian Xiuyi, that was her duty, so naturally she should take care of her.

"If it's cold today, you're recovering from a serious illness. You should take care of yourself and wear more clothes."

It was almost the end of September, and the palace had put on thick clothes, and even the doors and windows could only be opened for a short time at noon.

"Yes, I remember, my lady, look, I wear a lot of clothes." Standing up, I walked around in front of Gu Jinzhi, even Xiuyi was wearing quite a lot.

"I know you wear a lot, sit down quickly, do you want to have dinner at Fengyang Palace at noon?"

Greeting with a smile, Gu Jinzhi intends to order someone to go to the small kitchen to say something.

"Thank you, ma'am, I won't be eating at Fengyang Palace today." Seeing Gu Jinzhi's face, he showed surprise, "When I got up early, my concubine ordered Zhishu to tell her sister Jiang to go to the palace at noon. Eat at Sister Jiang's place."

"That's it, that's it, you two come together some other day, and we'll have dinner together."

When she said this, Gu Jinzhi nodded with a smile. Even during the time when Xiuyi was 'ill', Jiang Zhaohua worried a lot. It was reasonable for her to want to have dinner with Jiang Zhaohua.

After chatting for a while, Lian Xiuyi got up to say goodbye, left Fengyang Palace, Hongxiu stayed behind, and returned to Yongning Palace after noon.

During this period of time, because she has been in Yongning Palace, she will even tell Gu Jinzhi what happened around Xiuyi, there is nothing unusual, everything sounds normal.

Originally, Gu Jinzhi still had some doubts about Lian Xiuyi, but since Lian Xiuyi also fell into the gu, the suspicion has faded a lot.

It cannot be denied that there is a possibility that he will attack himself. Gu Jinzhi is more inclined to believe that Lian Xiuyi was killed by Ning Cui.

After all, if she attacked herself...then this person would be too scary.

Outside the palace, in the residence of the Marquis of Zhongyong, Gu Qingshan was talking with Gu Shenzhi in the study.

"What do you think? Tell me about being a father?" When Gu Shenzhi first returned to the capital, he was so dispirited that he was raised in the palace for a month before returning home.

The emperor investigated Jin Jiu for him, but there was no result. He also checked Yupei and got some news.

It is said that the jade pendant belonged to a deceased royal family, and it was a princess who had passed away for several years.

That being the case, according to common sense, the jade pendant owned by Gu Shenzhi, or Jin Jiu got it from other places, should be regarded as his own.

Leaving the jade pendant to Gu Shenzhi was just to fool him, after all, the names were all fake and there was nothing to check.

After learning the news, Gu Shenzhi was stunned for a long time, and locked himself in the room for two or three days before coming out again.

Gu Fangshi was worried about her son, but she didn't know exactly what was going on, seeing his wife worried, Gu Qingshan had no choice but to find an opportunity to call Gu Shenzhi into the study.

"Father, child..." He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but didn't know where to start.

"Say what you want, don't worry about it." Seeing Gu Shenzhi like this, Gu Qingshan sighed, he also came here from a young age, and can understand the entanglement in his son's heart.

Speaking of which, the children in the family are more like him in dealing with feelings, and they are a bit dead-headed.

"Father, no matter whether Jin Jiu's identity is true or not, and no matter where she got the jade pendant she left behind, she left it for the child, and the child will find a way to find her."

After listening to Gu Qingshan, Gu Shenzhi organized his words and responded to him.

"So...then, do you still want to resign and go find this missing person?"

Earlier, Gu Shenzhi thought that Jin Jiu was the royal family of Jin, and planned to resign and go to Jin to find her.

Now, the news that he thought blocked his way. He could indeed go to the state of Jin to find Jin Jiu, but in all likelihood, he might fail.

He knew his identity and the status of the family in the court, so during this period of time, he had been considering whether to put the family in a disadvantageous situation because of his personal affair.

When asked by his father today, he made a decision in his heart.

"Don't rush to answer first, what Weifu wants to tell you is that if you decide, just go ahead and do it, don't worry about other things. On Jinzhi's side, there is Weifu standing up for you, and your elder brother, our father and son , enough to support you to do things according to your own mind."

Living in this world, people don't have so much freedom. Many times, they have to go against their original intentions to do things. Gu Qingshan doesn't want all children to be like this.

If one day, the eldest son, An Zhi, told him that he didn't want to go to the border anymore and wanted to live an ordinary life, he would also consider it.

Although he is old, it is no problem whether he is stationed at the border or in the court. As a father, he will support his children.

"Father..." Gu Shenzhi did not expect that his father, who was always strict, would say such words, "I have made a decision, I will not resign, but I will continue to search for Jin Jiu's whereabouts."
