The female supporting role turns over: the prince regent's favorite

Chapter 485 Chu Lingyun Inquired About Gu Changgeng
Gu Changgeng was given the post of General. On the second day, Qin Ziyan and Yang Taiwei visited the General's Mansion in person. Many officials from the court also went to visit and give gifts. Suddenly, the General's Mansion was crowded with people. , which is the complete opposite of the desertedness of the past.

In the imperial study.

After listening to Li Quan's narration of these things, the emperor's expression was gloomy, which made Li Quan unable to guess his thoughts.

It was the emperor who asked first: "Li Quan, did you ever know why I deliberately took care of Chang Geng's position as the Great General?"

"This... the slave is stupid, the slave doesn't know."

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back, walked two steps unhurriedly, and said in an unclear manner: "I am afraid that a battle with Xichu is inevitable. Beiming can't be unscrupulous, but..."

The emperor said with a serious expression: "I will not let Gu Changgeng become the second Gu Yun."

Li Quan was startled when he heard that, if the war in Western Chu was quelled in the future, Gu Changgeng might not end well.

……

Prime Minister's House.

Chu Lingyun took Li Ma out of Jinglan Garden to greet the old lady, and when they walked to the garden, they heard three or five servants gathered to chat.

A servant girl said: "Have you heard? Gu Changgeng has now become an upstart in the court. I don't know how many people rushed to curry favor with him. Even the Second Highness is very polite to him."

Another servant curled his lips and said: "These officials and lords can't be flattered, now Gu Changgeng is a great general, and behind him, the head of the Xuanjia Battalion, General Duan Fei, treats him like his own son, and he is also a well-known member of the Sun Moon Pavilion in the world." Young Pavilion Master, Feng Qingyang's apprentice, heard that His Highness Second Highness recruited him to his subordinates, if Second Highness won the position of Crown Prince in the future, one can imagine that Gu Changgeng..."

The boy lowered his voice and said: "It must be powerful, comparable to the emperor's relatives."

Another young servant sighed and said, "So what? The more powerful Gu Changgeng becomes, the more unlucky the prime minister's mansion will be in the future. Don't forget that Prince Hao married the eldest lady as his concubine, and the prime minister must support Prince Hao." Yes, when Gu Changgeng was in the prime minister's mansion, he was bullied by the second young master and his servants. The second young master even killed Gu Changgeng's old servant. Since then, Gu Changgeng has never returned to the prime minister's mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion, thinking about getting rid of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

The servant girl had a frightened expression on her face, "Then in the future, won't we..."

Seeing Steward Fu approaching from afar, the servant hurriedly said: "No one will know what will happen in the future, don't talk about it, Steward Fu is here, let's go to work, and be careful not to be scolded by Steward Fu."

"Yeah, let's go soon."

"Let's go..."

The servant girls and the others dispersed, and the garden became quiet again.

Chu Lingyun's eyes drooped slightly, and he stood quietly on the spot, looking at the ground in a daze, wondering what he was thinking about.

Mama Li hesitated for a moment, and called out, "Miss? Miss... what are you thinking?"

Chu Lingyun suddenly came back to his senses, and said: "...It's nothing, let's go back."

"Yes, ma'am."

Back in Jin Garden, Chu Lingyun was distracted all day, lying on the bed at night, tossing and turning, thinking over and over again what he heard the servants of the prime minister's mansion say in the garden today.

Including Gu Changgeng's gentle eyes looking at Lin Qingqian, the thoughtful way of picking fishbone for her, Gu Changgeng's handsome and cold appearance, and now everyone's fawning over his status as an upstart in the court... The more he thinks about Chu Lingyun, the more his heart moves.

If her future husband is Gu Changgeng, it seems...it's okay.

Early the next morning.

Li Ma came in and waited for Chu Lingyun to get up, Chu Lingyun said: "Li Ma, you usually have a better conversation with the servants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, you can go and inquire for me about Gu Changgeng's affairs in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and if you can hear He also came to tell me about his affairs in the court."

Li Ma was puzzled and said, "Miss, why did you suddenly want to inquire about Gu Changgeng?"

"You don't need to worry about it, just do as I say."

Li Ma had no choice but to respond: "Yes, I understand."

……

willow garden.

After Lin Qingqian finished drawing the blueprints for new clothes, she beat her sore shoulder, handed the blueprints to Hanyue, and said, "You go out of the house and hand over the blueprints to shopkeeper Li. These are the blueprints for the next batch of summer clothes. .”

"Yes, I will send it to shopkeeper Li."

Watching Hanyue leave the bedroom, Lin Qingqian took a look at the ledger. During this period of time, the business has become more and more prosperous, especially the Yanyu Tower, which is well-known in the capital city.

She thought about developing the Yanyu Building into a modern hotel chain model, and it seemed that she could start preparations.

Closing the ledger, Lin Qingqian was about to take a rest when she suddenly thought of Gu Changgeng and muttered, "Brother Changgeng is so busy these days that I can't see anyone around, I can't even meet him when I go to the General's Mansion..."

As she said that, a hint of worry could not be concealed on her face. She had already heard that Gu Changgeng had become an upstart in the court and Qin Ziyan's favorite minister.

Will Gu Changgeng really support a puppet prince in the end and become the regent with power all over the world?

……

Two days later.

Jinyuan.

Li Ma went back to Jin Garden, went straight into Chu Lingyun's room, and said, "Miss, you asked your servants to inquire about Gu Changgeng, and your servants have already heard about it."

Chu Lingyun couldn't wait to say: "Hurry up."

"Yes, ma'am."

Li Ma said: "The servant girl asked the servants who had been in the prime minister's mansion for a long time. Gu Changgeng and his father were sworn brothers with the prime minister. Later, when General Gu had an accident, the prime minister brought Gu Changgeng back to the mansion to be raised, but he kept treating him He didn't care about it, so Gu Changgeng was bullied by the second young master and the third young lady when he was young, and the second young master asked him to bark like a dog."

Chu Lingyun frowned, never thinking that Gu Changgeng had such a humiliating past.

"Later Miss San suddenly changed her temper. Gu Changgeng's life in the Prime Minister's Mansion was easier, but he was still not welcome. Two years ago, I heard that Gu Changgeng joined the Imperial Forest Army for training, and the Second Young Master went to Liyuan and smashed a lot of things. Destroyed many relics left by General Gu, Gu Bo, the servant who served Gu Changgeng, was tied up with a stone by the second young master and thrown into the pond to drown alive."

Mama Li paused, "When Gu Changgeng walked out of the Prime Minister's Mansion with Gu Bo's body on his back, his eyes were red with anger. If it wasn't for his lack of power and status at that time and the disparity with the Prime Minister's Mansion, he might have killed the second young master to avenge Gu Bo. With this matter, the relationship between Gu Changgeng and the Prime Minister's Mansion was completely at a standstill, and he has never returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he has become the Second Highness's henchman, and the Prime Minister's countless invitations, he has refused."

Hearing this, Chu Lingyun had a pensive expression on his face.

After a while, she muttered to herself: "That means, Gu Changgeng hates the Prime Minister's Mansion so much, if I can find a way to get rid of the Prime Minister's Mansion for him..."

"Miss? What are you talking about?"

Chu Lingyun came back to his senses, and said softly to Mama Li: "It's nothing, you can go down first, if you hear anything about Gu Changgeng in the future, remember to come and tell me."

Li Ma felt that it was strange that Chu Lingyun suddenly cared about Gu Changgeng so much, but she didn't dare to ask any more questions, she blessed her body and said, "Yes, miss, this servant will remember."

After Mama Li stepped back, Chu Lingyun thought of the black shadow he saw outside Lin Langtian late at night not long ago, and the corpse with the tattoo on his arm. No matter how he looked at it, he definitely couldn't be doing anything bright.

Chu Lingyun's eyes flickered, and he said, "Maybe I can take advantage of this..."
