Princess Rong's miscarriage?
Isn’t that the matter of Xixi losing her child?
Gu Shi paused slightly when he wanted to straighten Pei Wang's hand and was about to ask further.
Suddenly my waist tightened.
He looked down at his tightening waist. Pei Wang's hand had wrapped around his waist without him knowing when, and his slender jade-like fingers were pinching the soft flesh on his waist.
A chill and goose bumps spread all over Gu Shi's body.
He didn't care about his image and stood up quickly.
Pei Wang suddenly lost his support and was about to fall to the ground.
Gu Shi stepped forward and helped him up.
Pei Wang took Gu Shi into his arms and rubbed his forehead with his chin.
Gu Shi, who was originally planning to get Pei Wang drunk to get some information out of him, had no time to think about anything else.
He hurriedly called Du Zhong, who had been guarding outside with Chen Shiliu.
Du Zhong let out an exaggerated yell, flew forward and pulled Pei Wang away.
"Sir, how can you hold the prince so tightly? How can this be proper?"
Right now, Zuixianlou is the most crowded.
Many people looked towards the box.
Gu Shi couldn't help but blush.
"Since Master Pei is not available, then... let's talk about it another day."
Du Zhong handed Pei Wang to another servant while whispering an apology to Gu Shi, "My master is good in every way, except that he has a bad habit of not being able to drink alcohol. Alas, I think this will cause trouble again."
He glanced in annoyance at the people around him who were still peeking over here.
Chen Shiliu who was standing aside silently complained: If you hadn't slapped me just now, there probably wouldn't be so many people watching. Once you howled, naturally everyone looked over here.
Gu Shi didn't notice the change in Chen Shiliu's expression. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "Master Pei, in this condition, it is indeed not appropriate for you to drink alcohol."
He finally understood why, at the palace banquet, when everyone else was supposed to drink alcohol, only Pei Wang could only drink tea...
Du Zhong smiled helplessly and personally escorted Gu Shi to the back alley to get into the sedan chair and leave.
"...When my master wakes up, I will definitely ask him to come and apologize to you personally."
After saying this, he bowed and personally lifted the curtain for Gu Shi.
What Gu Shi was thinking about was still what Pei Wang mentioned when he was drunk.
After thinking it over again and again, he decided to get straight to the point. "Just now, Lord Pei was drunk and said something about the Rongjun Prince's Mansion. This prince wants to know how much you know about this matter."
Hearing this, the smile on Du Zhong's face froze, and his eyes shifted guiltily elsewhere, "Is... is that so?"
Gu Shi narrowed his eyes slowly, "So, you know about this too?"
Du Zhong was about to talk about something else, but Gu Shi raised his voice and asked, "Why, now this prince even knows about my own affairs?"
The sudden pressure forced Du Zhong to kneel on the ground with his knees softened.
"Your Majesty, it's not that I don't want to say it, but you have made it clear before that this matter is of great importance. If it is not handled properly, the entire Rongjun Palace will be in turmoil..."
Gu Shi interrupted him impatiently, "I promise you, as long as you tell me, I can keep it a secret for you."
"Can..."
Du Zhong was still hesitating.
Gu Shi frowned, "Some things, if this prince wants to investigate carefully, he will always find out. It's just a matter of time."
Seeing Gu Shi's firm attitude, Du Zhong finally had to compromise.
"Okay," he gritted his teeth and looked up, his eyes determined, "I hope Your Highness can keep it a secret."
"Of course." Gu Shi bent down and helped Du Zhong up.
Du Zhong stood up and the two of them reached a dead end in the back alley. He then began to organize his words, "To be honest, Your Highness, a few days ago, my men were investigating a case. When we passed through Yueya Lane, we saw something we shouldn't have seen in a house with two entrances..."
As he spoke, Du Zhong hesitated again, his brows almost knotted into a knot.
"Your Majesty, are you sure you want to listen?"
Gu Shi, who was concentrating on listening to the incident but was suddenly interrupted, lost his patience. "Chen Shiliu."
Du Zhong immediately stopped Gu Shi from calling for help, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, let's talk it over. I've already revealed half of the secret, and now you're not letting me reveal it. Isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Seeing Gu Shi turning around and about to leave, Du Zhong pulled Gu Shi's sleeve and blurted out all the unfinished words in one breath, "In a two-story house in Yueya Lane, I saw the second son of the Su family and a pregnant woman making love on a swing, not knowing what the world was.
We originally thought it was the concubine that Second Young Master Su had kept, and we didn't think too much about it. Who knew... who knew that the pregnant woman on the swing actually looked exactly like the Princess of Rong."
"absurd!!"
Du Zhong had barely finished speaking when Gu Shi mercilessly grabbed his collar and glared at him fiercely, "If you dare to speak nonsense and slander my princess again, I..."
Compared with Gu Shi's rage, Du Zhong was like a quail, wishing he could bury himself in the collar that Gu Shi was holding up.
"If you think this is fake, then we will forget about it. You didn't ask me, and I didn't say anything. My useless subordinates didn't see the carriage from Prince Rong's mansion..."
It would have been better if Du Zhong hadn't said this. As soon as he said it, a picture suddenly appeared in Gu Shi's mind.
He was immediately so angry that his blood rushed to his head and his cheeks turned red.
But soon, he quickly adjusted his mentality.
"Okay, no need to say more."
He loosened his grip on Du Zhong's collar.
The tone gradually returned to normal.
"Just pretend that what happened just now never happened. I didn't ask you any questions, and you didn't say anything nonsense."
Du Zhong nodded repeatedly.
Just when he thought he was about to escape, Gu Shi spoke again in a cold tone, "This matter is known only to you and me. If I hear any more rumors about this matter, you know the consequences."
"Little one understands, little one understands."
Gu Shi snorted coldly, and Du Zhong was free and left as if escaping.
Chen Shiliu saw Gu Shi enter the sedan chair with a stern face and immediately went to its side. "Your Highness, I just saw Du Siguan leaving in a hurry. What happened?"
Gu Shi glanced at Chen Shiliu with a complicated expression, "Send someone to Yueya Lane right now to find out who keeps mistresses there."
Chen Shiliu's heart skipped a beat, but he still wore a respectful look on his face as he tentatively asked, "Your Highness, do you wish to investigate Miss Shen's background?"
Gu Shi glared at him impatiently, "Why, do I have to report to you before I do anything now?"
Chen Shiliu's expression changed, and he quickly lowered his head, "I dare not."
After Chen Shiliu left.
Gu Shi called Wang Ying.
"Go follow Chen Shiliu and see what he has been doing these days and who he has been meeting."
"Yes."
Wang Ying withdrew respectfully.
Gu Shi leaned back into the sedan chair and slowly closed his eyes, suppressing the emotions surging in his eyes.
...
Du Zhong went back to the wing room.
"Everything is in order."
The man who should have been drunk unconscious was now sitting at the table and eating leisurely.
His eyes were clear, how could he be drunk at all?
When Du Zhong entered the room to answer, he had just picked up a piece of fish with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
The tender taste of the fish spread in his mouth. Meeting Du Zhong's inquiring gaze, he sneered and drank a cup of osmanthus wine before speaking slowly.
"Opportunities to walk into a trap don't come around often, so keep your eyes peeled."
"Yes."
