Chapter 146 Don't Worry, I've Got This

They drank several pots of tea, and Gu Yanxi didn't mention leaving, while Hua Zhi didn't bring it up either.

No need to say it explicitly, they both knew what they were waiting for.

It wasn't until the sky darkened that Wang Rong, with a serious expression, led by Bao Xia into the room. He glanced at Hua Zhi, unsure if he should speak or not.

Gu Yanxi also looked at Hua Zhi, their gazes carrying completely different meanings.

After some thought, Hua Zhi dismissed everyone else and stayed behind herself.

She knew whatever Wang Rong had to say must be of great importance, and Mr. Lu had given her a chance to completely extricate herself from this matter, but she couldn't pass her own test.

She would rather face danger than be blind and deaf, completely at the mercy of others.

Gu Yanxi looked deeply at her and tapped the armrest of the chair, signaling Wang Rong to speak.

"The identity has been confirmed, it's the Sixth Prince."

Gu Yanxi was not surprised, he had been paying attention to Hua Zhi and noticed that she also did not show any surprise.

"What's happening in the palace?"

"The Fourth Prince wanted the support of the person behind the Sixth Prince, so he used some means to get the First Prince to act against the Sixth Prince. He intended to rescue the Sixth Prince at a critical moment to gain his favor, but the Sixth Prince was cautious, and with loyal servants protecting him, he managed to escape. Now both the First Prince and the Fourth Prince have sent people to look for the Sixth Prince."

Gu Yanxi squinted his eyes, leaning back in a completely relaxed posture, "Have they found any clues?"

"Not yet, Shao Yao has covered their tracks very well."

"Lead them out of the city."

"Understood." After a pause, Wang Rong asked, "To what extent should we go?"

"Let them think the Sixth Prince has gone east." Gu Yanxi's smile was cold, a prince was lost in the palace, he wanted to see how long they could keep it a secret and what cards they had.

As for how those forces of equal power would fight, he would just pretend not to see. Winning was a skill, losing could only be blamed on one's own inadequacy. But for them to target a brother who had lost his mother and was not even ten years old, with no threat to them, he found it disgusting.

Before leaving, Wang Rong sneakily glanced at Hua Zhi, who showed no change in her expression, secretly giving her a thumbs up in his heart. She truly was someone worthy of the Shizi's attention!

However, Hua Zhi at this moment did not appear as calm as she seemed. The power struggle for the throne was originally far from her, but now she realized it was right in front of her.

She had thought that the child might be a prince, but she didn't expect it to involve such a soap opera-like situation.

"The mother of the Sixth Prince is the late Concubine Zhen, her family is..."

"Mr. Lu, I think it's better if I don't know about these things."

"You've heard the rest, hearing a little more won't change anything." Gu Yanxi smiled, "Concubine Zhen's family is the Sun family."

The Sun family?

Which Sun family?

It couldn't be the Sun family of the general who guards the pass.
