C30 Help Investigate

Naturally, Gu Xiaoxiao had no reason to refuse. She glanced at Mu Zhaoyang, afraid that something might happen to him.

If Mu Zhaoyang was not willing to help, she might not be able to find anything by herself. Mu Zhaoyang felt Gu Xiaoxiao's expectant gaze and shook his head helplessly.

"This King does not need any compensation. It's just that this group of assassins are too flamboyant and do not put the imperial family in their eyes at all." I would like to see who in the capital has the guts to do so. "

The fact that Mu Zhaoyang seemed to be united against a common enemy scared the other guards. They had thought that King Yi would not be interested in this matter.

The Qi King had grown up by the empress's side, so he was naturally a fox as well. He could also tell that Mu Zhaoyang had some feelings for Gu Xiaoxiao.

In the past, Mu Zhaoyang would never have been interested in this sort of thing. As a idle prince, he would never intervene even if there were any difficulties in the imperial court, let alone a 'trivial matter' like today.

It seemed that this Gu Xiaoxiao was quite outstanding. Otherwise, how could she attract Mu Zhaoyang's attention?

"If that's the case, then I'll have to trouble Imperial Uncle. "As for Miss Gu, if you need any compensation, feel free to speak out."

Gu Xiaoxiao was a little excited. She had not expected the Qi King to be so rich, a declining prince. She smiled embarrassedly and said, "As long as the Qi King finds someone to forge some weapons for me."

The Qi King was somewhat surprised. He had only seen Gu Xiaoxiao's kung fu skills, but he hadn't expected her to be proficient in weapons?

"I never thought that Miss Gu, who is usually soft and weak, would actually have an understanding of weapons." With that, King Qi called for the secret guard and explained to Gu Xiaoxiao, "This is Cheng Nan. Among all my secret guards, he's the only one who knows the most about weapons. If you have any requests, feel free to ask him. "

Gu Xiaoxiao told Cheng Nan all the weapons in her heart. In fact, she was still a bit worried. These weapons were only the weapons that she had thought of when she transmigrated, so she didn't know if she could forge them.

When Cheng Nan heard what Gu Xiao said, his expression turned serious. When he first came in and saw Gu Xiaoxiao, he thought it was some aristocratic lady who wanted the weapons for a joke. But now, he realized that Gu Xiaoxiao was very clear on her thoughts.

"I've recorded all of Miss Gu's words. Don't worry, I will definitely forge them well, so as to please you."

Gu Xiaoxiao was a little excited, and she stood up in excitement. "So you're saying that all these weapons can be forged?"

Cheng Nan smiled. He had forged so many weapons, but what Gu Xiaoxiao had described made his eyes light up.

"Although the few weapons that you mentioned are difficult to forge, they should all be successful in the end. After the creation is complete, can Miss Gu share a portion with me? "

"Of course. If you succeed in making it, it will be all thanks to you."

Seeing that Gu Xiaoxiao and Cheng Nan had so much to talk about, Mu Zhaoyang felt upset and deliberately coughed a few times.

The Qi King asked with concern, "What's wrong with royal uncle? He couldn't have been busy in the middle of the night and caught a cold, right?"

As soon as he finished, the Qi King waved to Cheng Nan, and he left. Gu Xiaoxiao took a glance at Mu Zhaoyang. He was such a dignified prince, yet he was so weak like the wind.

Mu Zhaoyang waved his hand. "It's not that big of a deal. It's better for Prince Qi to tell us about the assassination attempt. Miss Gu and I also have a clue when it comes to investigating."

Gu Xiaoxiao was very tired and yawned several times. However, Mu Zhaoyang's words reminded her of something. Since they had already promised the Qi King, they had to take responsibility for it. However, right now, they didn't know anything about these assassins.

"Ai, I also don't know where these assassins come from. This is the first time I've met them. Other than Marquis Yuan, no one else knew that I would come to this place today. "

Even so, Gu Xiaoxiao felt that even Marquis Zhenyuan wouldn't know about this.

"How about we wait until Miss Gu returns home to find out what the Marquis has to say. No matter what, the Marquis is still your father, so he shouldn't be that cautious towards you."

The Qi King stared at Gu Xiaoxiao and said, as if he wanted to see her different reaction.

Gu Xiaoxiao felt sarcastic. It seemed that the Qi King didn't really believe her. Since that was the case, why did he need her to investigate the assassin's whereabouts?

"Don't worry, I've already promised you that I will do my best to help you investigate this matter." Although Hou Mansion and I are inextricably linked, if this matter is really related to Zhenyuan, I will also report it to him truthfully. I hope that when that time comes, the Qi King will give me some face and show mercy to my mother and me. "

It looked like Gu Xiaoxiao was truly different from the aristocratic ladies. She truly had no feelings for the house of the Marquis.

"Alright, with Miss Gu's words, I am relieved. "In the future, no matter what happens in the manor, I will do my best to protect you."

Afterwards, the Qi King and Mu Zhaoyang chatted about assassins. Gu Xiaoxiao always felt that Mu Zhaoyang knew something about assassins, but Mu Zhaoyang didn't say anything.

As the sky slowly brightened, only then did Prince Qi notice the time. "It seems like Imperial Uncle and Lady Gu will have to rest today."

Mu Zhaoyang waved his hand to indicate that it was not a big deal. "It's getting late. The Qi King should enter the palace earlier. It can't be delayed any longer."

Only now did the Qi King start to panic, but before he left, he did not forget to tell them to notify him immediately if there was any news.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Mu Zhaoyang's relaxed demeanor and could not help but mock him. "Being an idle prince is really good. I don't even need to attend the morning assembly."

Mu Zhaoyang looked at the scenery of the mountain and felt comfortable. He didn't have any intention of making a fuss about it with Gu Xiaoxiao.

"You should focus more on the assassin, you have to know that the Qi King's item is not that easy to obtain." At that time, the Qi King will not let you off easily, even if you take the items and can't give us the information. "

Gu Xiaoxiao harrumphed. She had thought that Mu Zhaoyang was optimistic about the Qi King, which was why he had come to help. She had not expected that the Qi King would be narrow-minded in his eyes.

"I will naturally take the assassin's matter to heart. However, you must not forget, Duke Yi. You must also help out. "I am just an unfavoured daughter of the House of the Marquis. I'm afraid that even the Qi King doesn't have much hope for me. When that happens, I'll have to see the resourceful Duke Yi."

With that, Gu Xiaoxiao ignored Mu Zhaoyang and walked down the hill by herself.
