Chapter 74: Cooperation
Li An revealed his identity, but Gu Jingyun’s face was only shocked and then returned to indifference, he said: “I have something to stop in Hangzhou, so I can only send you there.”
Peng Yu saw that he was stubborn, and said angrily: “Gu Jingyun, the son is the king, and you are the minister. Now that the king is in trouble, do you dare not to obey?”
Gu Jingyun, who was originally lazy, straightened his back, looked back at Peng Yu as sharp as an unsheathed sword, and said coldly, “I won’t obey, why are you patient with me?”
“you!”
“Ziqing!” Li An gave him a warning glance, then turned his head to explain to Gu Jingyun: “Ziqing is reckless, I hope Jingyun will forgive me.”
Gu Jingyun snorted and looked straight at Li Andao: “It’s a matter of benevolence and righteousness to be able to send you all to Hangzhou. Not to mention that you’re just a grandson, even the emperor can’t instruct me.”
Li An was stunned for a moment, feeling Gu Jingyun’s hostility, he understood after a little thought.
The Qin family was exiled to Qiongzhou because of the royal family.
Qin Xinfang is a capable minister, not to mention the crown prince, but he is of great use to the capital, but because of the struggle between the emperor’s grandfather and his father, he was exiled to Qiongzhou, and Gu Jingyun’s mother and son would be discarded by the Gu family because of this.
Although he was a little displeased with Gu Jingyun’s attitude, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this attitude was the right one. He sighed and said, “Are you going to find He Chong, the governor of Zhejiang?”
Gu Jingyun snorted softly.
“Then I advise you not to go. Although He Chong is your aunt’s cousin and has been promoted by your uncle, he did not lend a helping hand when your uncle was in trouble. Over the years, he has refused to associate with the prince. If you are close to the family of the Fourth Prince, if you go there, you will be more ill-fated, and you will be exposed to the Gu family.”
Seeing his stubborn expression, Li An pursed the corners of his mouth tightly, and said softly, “If you have something to do, you might as well tell me. Although I’m only the grandson of the emperor, I still have some useful people in my hands. Mr. Qin belongs to my grandfather. Teacher, it is because of my grandfather that I will never refuse if I can do it.”
Gu Jingyun’s eyes were slightly red, but he looked at him sarcastically and asked, “Now you are attentive, but where have you been for the past fourteen years?”
Li An’s face was slightly red, a little ashamed.
In order to prevent him from being blinded, his mother told him about the Kaiping case in detail. Thinking of the **** storm when he was seven years old, he knew that if Qin Xinfang hadn’t stood up, the Prince’s Mansion would have ceased to exist.
When it comes to the throne and rebellion, even the grandson can be discarded at any time.
He was thinking of the kindness of the Qin family, but he never really thought about helping the Qin family in Qiongzhou. First, they were being watched all the time, and it was difficult to do it without a trace. Second, he and his father were friends. Knowing that Mr. Qin’s friends have been supporting them, at least they won’t suffer too much in Qiongzhou…
But no matter how many reasons, Li An couldn’t say it when facing the bitter master, he could only accept Gu Jingyun’s grievance silently, and then assured: “Jingyun rest assured, but if I can do it, I will never break my word. ”
Gu Jingyun lowered his head and was silent for a moment, then said, “The condition is to send you to the capital?”
Li An smiled and said, “If you don’t want to send it, don’t send it. I just don’t recommend you to see He Chong.”
“Okay, I’ll send you to the capital, but I have a lot of conditions.” Gu Jingyun ignored Peng Yu’s angry eyes and said directly: “I only talk to you about the conditions and let them go out.”
Li An nodded slightly to the three of them.
“No, sir, what if he does something wrong with you?” Gu Jingyun’s identity has not been verified yet, who knows if it is fake, even if it is not fake, his surname is Gu, who knows where he is from?
Wei Yingjie and Tao Wu also do not support Li An to stay alone, because this does not conform to the code of conduct of personal guards.
Li An pointed at Li Baolu and asked, “Can she stay?”
“She is my wife, so she naturally wants to stay,” Gu Jingyun said, raising his chin slightly: “And you really feel relieved to be alone in the room with me, a person who has no power?”
Li An smiled and waved to the three of them: “Okay, you can wait outside first, no one dares to kidnap us when Miss Li is here.”
It’s because she’s here that I’m not at ease.
But seeing Li An insist, the three of them can only go out.
Wei Yingjie and Tao Wu looked at each other, Tao Wu stood still at the door of the box, Wei Yingjie jumped up from the box next door, and stayed on the roof outside.
In the room, Gu Jingyun’s first sentence was, “I don’t trust you, so I think it’s better to clarify each other’s conditions as a deal.”
Li An asked curiously, “Don’t you support my dad in the future?”
The Qin family is labeled as a prince. Unless Gu Jingyun breaks ties with the Qin family and returns to the Gu family instead, he will be classified as a prince.
“The emperor has been in power for forty-eight years. It is said that he is in good health now. According to folklore, he can live for another ten or twenty years, so I am not very interested in competing for the throne. My ultimate goal is to rehabilitate my uncle. , let them return to Beijing alive from Qiongzhou, and hope that the crown prince will be rehabilitated or amnesty after he ascends the throne, so when will we wait?”
Li An was silent.
Gu Jingyun’s meaning is very clear, he doesn’t want to mix with the prince’s line, but he will not vote for the fourth prince, and he doesn’t mind the prince’s line putting this label on him, but he will not do anything for the prince’s line. , Naturally, he will not vote for the benefits of the Prince’s family. He hopes that the two parties can cooperate with a clearly marked price.
Li An felt very funny, Gu Jingyun was just a teenager, he had no power, and he had not even grown up yet. How could he negotiate conditions with the entire crown prince?
But Li An was thinking of the kindness of the Qin family, and if Qin Xinfang could be rehabilitated, it would only be good for their prince’s line, not bad.
He indulged Gu Jingyun’s “unreasonable demands” and asked with a smile, “What are your conditions?”
“Baolu and I will send you back to the capital safely. You have to send my aunt an imperial doctor who is good at gynecology and pediatrics, and you will also be responsible for the required medicinal materials. The time limit is two months before my aunt gives birth to the child’s one year old.”
Li An nodded and replied, “No problem, what else?”
“No,” Gu Jingyun ignored Li An’s stunned expression, and said indifferently, “I said it was a deal of equal value. The lives of the four of you will be exchanged for the lives of my aunt and the child in her womb.”
I feel that their lives are so cheap, four for two.
Li Anxin was amused, and felt that although this child had a smart face, he was too gentlemanly, and he didn’t even know if he suffered.
“Don’t think I’m at a loss,” Gu Jingyun glanced at him, as if he knew what he was thinking: “Women giving birth is like stepping into the gate of hell, and my aunt’s health is not good, she is old Now, if Taisun doesn’t want to miss the appointment, it’s best to find the best imperial doctor to send him there.”
Gu Jingyun poured himself a cup of tea and continued: “As for the follow-up transactions, it depends on the specific situation. Although my uncle has been away from the court for fourteen years, many people still miss him, not to mention that the prince’s lineage was my uncle. First of all, if Taisun wants to control those forces, I can still help.”
“What about the conditions?”
“Do your best to rehabilitate my uncle,” Gu Jingyun said, “You can’t imagine how bad the environment in Qiongzhou is, food and accommodation are second, and the most important thing is that there is a shortage of doctors and medicines, and you may not be able to find a single cold disease. The doctor heals them, they are all getting old, and I don’t want them to stay there anymore.”
Li An thought for a while and said, “Then wish us a happy cooperation!”
Gu Jingyun twitched the corners of his mouth and raised the tea in his hand to give a slight gesture to the other party.
After he finished his drink, he was not in the mood to continue sitting down, he got up and said, “I don’t want to eat anymore, you can eat it yourself, this meal is mine.”
Li An knew that his identity had shocked him, and Gu Jingyun obviously didn’t like his grandson, so he didn’t keep it.
Gu Jingyun opened the door and was about to go out, when he was blocked by the tall Tao Wu.
Tao Wu first crossed Gu Jingyun to see his grandson sitting at the table An Ran, then he smiled and gave way to the two children, and asked stupidly, “What are you going to do, do you want to start ordering?”
Gu Jingyun’s eyes were full of gratitude, and he walked out past him, “Don’t eat, you can eat it yourself.”
Li Baolu followed behind, hesitating for a while when passing by Tao Wu, but still whispered: “You can order enough for yourself, don’t waste it.”
Tao Wu was confused, “Why?”
“Because this meal is my request!”
Li Baolu left this sentence behind and went after Gu Jingyun. On the way, she ordered a few dishes for themselves and asked the man to deliver the food to the room.
Gu Jingyun returned to the room with a stern face, sitting at the table with the corners of his mouth pursed tightly.
“You’re really unhappy.”
Gu Jingyun was a little depressed, “If we didn’t show up, who would remember Uncle?”
“Actually, Li An is not bad. You have been provoking him, and I have never seen him get angry.”
Gu Jingyun gave a “um”, “I know, don’t worry, my attitude will gradually improve.”
He rubbed his head with a headache, “It’s really tiring to play, it’s more tiring than farm work.”
“I thought you would say it’s more tiring than reading.”
“What’s so tiring about reading?”
“Forget it, when I didn’t say it.”
Gu Jingyun turned his head and looked at Li Baolu’s face carefully, nodded and said, “I know you’re not good at this. From today onwards, you can just keep this cold face, talk less, and naturally have fewer flaws.”
Li Baolu nodded.
Gu Jingyun continued: “We have to redo a route and send them to the capital as soon as possible. My aunt will give birth in more than four months, and she can’t wait.”
“Then we must first get rid of the pursuit of the man in black. This threat is too great, and it is impossible for us to travel with peace of mind if we do not get rid of it.”
