Chapter Four Hundred and Forty-Eight Battle of Wits and Courage

Gu Jiu was still thinking about which nouveau riche's den of thieves.

Never imagined that it would be the person in front of you.

No matter how you guess, the person in front of you has nothing to do with the current situation. He shouldn't be here, let alone in front of her.

His presence just adds more uncertainty to a more chaotic situation.

Of course, Gu Jiu was only surprised for a moment, then calmed down.

He tied her up for an impure purpose.

How to play next depends on how both sides make moves.

"This is the bedroom I ordered specially prepared for you, are you satisfied?"

Zhou Jin looked at her with a smile. At this moment, he is a gentle and jade-like son of an aristocratic family.

Yes!

The person who tied Gu Jiu was Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin has been staying in the capital, he has been waiting for an opportunity.

The emperor was seriously ill, and the capital was turbulent. It was a good time for him to fish in troubled waters.

Gu Jiu smiled lightly, "Take your trouble. It took a lot of thought to set up this bedroom."

"As long as you like it!" Zhou Jin took advantage of the situation and sat down beside the bed.

Gu Jiu stared at him, his eyes were calm, without the slightest disgust, nor was he agitated or flustered.

She asked him, "Did you save me?"

Zhou Jin smiled and nodded, "Yes, I saved you."

"We are still in the capital now."

Gu Jiu asked casually, as if chatting with his most trusted friend. You don't have to deliberately adjust your tone, ask questions casually, and don't even consider the other party's feelings.

Zhou Jin said with a smile: "If I said that while you were in a coma, we had already sailed south to Jiangnan. What do you want?"

Gu Jiu laughed, "The leaves are all gone outside. If it is in Jiangnan, this season should be a different scene. It seems that we are still in the capital."

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you. That's right, we are still in the capital, and in the city."

Zhou Jin's eyes filled with admiration,

As expected of the woman he likes, it is definitely not comparable to those vases.

"That's good!" Gu Jiu smiled at him, and then asked, "How many days have I been in a coma?"

Zhou Jin asked back with a smile, "You can guess. If you guess correctly, I can tell you the situation outside, as well as the situation at the Prince Ning Mansion."

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said jokingly, "I don't believe you have someone in Ning's mansion."

"Why do you think I have no one in Prince Ning's mansion?"

Gu Jiu said, "I met you last year. From last year to this year, Prince Ning's mansion has not added any new people. All the people who serve close to the mansion are old people, or they have children at home. It is not easy to arrange people in the mansion. matter."

King Ning wanted to be on guard against other princes who would place spies by his side, so all servants who were on duty in the palace would go through layers of investigation.

Even if Zhou Jin had the means to reach the sky, it would be impossible for him to place a spy into the palace in a short period of time.

The only way is to buy it.

It's just that he is a businessman, and it is not easy to buy off the servants of the palace.

Of course, the wealth and silk are touching. As long as the price is full, he can still buy a few people to provide him with news.

Zhou Jin laughed, "You're confident. Don't you want to know what's going on outside? Guess, I'll tell you if you're right."

Gu Jiu had seen a pulse before, and based on her physical condition, she had already made a preliminary judgment.

But she didn't rush to answer, but instead asked, "Where's the maid next to me? She serves me these days? I'm not used to being served by others."

She was wearing a different set of clothes, and I don't know who moved her hand.

"Don't worry, your maid is very good. Let's talk first."

"I'm tired and hungry, and I don't have the strength to continue talking."

Gu Jiu simply narrowed his eyes, obviously looking weak.

Zhou Jin frowned.

When Gu Jiu woke up, he was very happy.

He couldn't wait to see her, to talk to her, to keep in mind how she looked when she said every word.

She was the smartest, most thoughtful and wonderful woman he had ever seen.

What's more, she still retains a pure heart.

There are so many smart women in the world, but like Gu Jiu, she is the only one in the world.

It was as if he had discovered a treasure, and only he knew the excitement and excitement in his heart.

The past two years have been his treasure hunt time.

He was right to decide to stay in the capital and wait for an opportunity.

Finally let him wait for the opportunity.

God is helping him.

"Are you tired after just talking?" Zhou Jin asked with concern.

Gu Jiu first said "um", "I'm tired! I'm also hungry. I shouldn't have eaten for several days. When I woke up, you talked to me and didn't even give me saliva."

Zhou Jin nodded and said solemnly, "It's my fault. I don't dare to pester you at this time. But I'm really glad you woke up."

The sincerity on his face fell into Gu Jiu's eyes, but it was just acting. Who takes false things for real.

Gu Jiu said as a matter of course: "I called my maid, I don't want to call anyone I don't know well."

Zhou Jin laughed, "Don't worry, let's talk after eating."

He clapped his hands, and a dozen maids filed in to wait for her to wash up.

Afterwards, the food is put on the table.

Just some porridge and side dishes.

Zhou Jin said, "You just woke up and you have an upset stomach. First, drink some porridge to support it. In two days, I will call the kitchen to prepare something delicious for you."

Gu Jiu smiled softly, "Thank you!"

"You don't have to be polite with me." Zhou Jin said solemnly.

Gu Jiu shook her head, "Of course I want to be polite to you. Speaking of which, we are just business partners. We have taken care of you for the past two years, and I owe you a thank you."

Zhou Jin's face darkened, his hands behind his back, his expression was indifferent.

"Eat, and rest a lot after eating. Your body is still very weak. We'll talk about it later."

After speaking, Zhou Jin left the bedroom, leaving only a few maids to serve.

Gu Jiu's hand holding the chopsticks paused, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Dealing with Zhou Jin is not an easy task.

She has just woken up, her body is weak, and she has spent a lot of energy to deal with each other, which will be really exhausting.

I simply ate half a bowl of porridge and two dishes of side dishes, and planned to go for a walk outside the door, but was stopped by the maid.

"Madam, please stop. Madam's body hasn't recovered yet. The son explained that Madam can't go out of the room for the time being."

Gu Jiu turned to look at the talking maid, "Is your son planning to put Mrs. Ben under house arrest?"

"Madam misunderstood. My son is just worried about Madam's body. Madam doesn't want to pass out just after waking up."

what's going on?

Threatening her?

Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and smiled.

People have to bow their heads under the eaves.

"Your son's kindness, this lady can't live up to it. Wouldn't it be like a white-eyed wolf."

Gu Jiu didn't force it.

The bedroom is large, with a small flower hall attached.

I walked around the bedroom a few times, digesting it, thinking about countermeasures.

Zhou Jin's gaze was too presumptuous and direct. At this time, Gu Jiu would be really blind if he didn't know what Zhou Jin was thinking.

Just because she knew what Zhou Jin was up to, she couldn't provoke the other party.

She has to deal with each other patiently.

This is not a light thing.

An outsider dared to cause trouble in broad daylight at the feet of the emperor, kidnapping the emperor's grandson's wife. It can be seen that Zhou Jin is not only bold, but also paranoid and crazy.

Just brave and easy to deal with.

But add paranoia and madness, and it's downright perverted.

When dealing with perverts, one cannot consider the behavior of the other person in the way of ordinary people. You must substitute yourself into perverted thinking.

The body is still too weak, and after thinking for a while, I feel dizzy.

No, she has to rest for a while.

Gu Jiu lay on the bed and closed his eyes.

She didn't plan to take news from these maids, it wasn't time yet.

She has to be patient and grind little by little.

...

Two days later, Gu Jiu's body had recovered a lot.

Counting the time, she has been missing for nearly five days.

What is the attitude of the palace?

Did Liu Zhao receive the news of her disappearance?

What's going on in the palace now?

What about Qingmei people?

Xu Yousi, have they been arrested?

Gu Jiu was very anxious, but he had to suppress his emotions and keep his face.

Another sunny day.

Zhou Jin came to the bedroom again.

Gu Jiu raised his head from the book and smiled at him, "You're here! The weather outside is so nice, why don't we go to the sun."

Zhou Jin looked at her deeply, "Do you want to go out in the sun?"

Gu Jiu stretched and relaxed, "I haven't basked in the sun for many days, and I feel very uncomfortable. I really envy you, being able to run outside every day. Men are more convenient than women."

Zhou Jin stared at her, her eyes were as bright as stars, and she also had a warm smile.

The ghosts and gods are messed up. What Zhou Jin originally refused, but after saying it, it turned into "Okay! Let's go out to bask in the sun."

Zhou Jin gave an order, and all the maids took action.

Move the table, move the chair, prepare tea and snacks.

After everything was ready, Zhou Jin smiled at her and reached out to her, "Let's go, I'll take you out."

Gu Jiu looked at his hand and said with a smile: "You lead the way. This is your territory, and you are doing the best of your landlord's friendship."

Zhou Jin laughed, "Don't worry, it will definitely satisfy you."

He naturally withdrew his hand and put his back behind his back.

For Gu Jiu's refusal to hold his hand, he was very angry for a moment, but was healed by Gu Jiu's smile in a blink of an eye.

For the sake of her smiling so tenderly, he forgives her and doesn't force her for the time being.

For the first time in several days, Gu Jiu walked out of the bedroom door.

The sun is shining, it's been a long time.

Standing in the sun, she closed her eyes, raised her head, and breathed in the smell of the sun.

A little freedom is not enough. Far from enough.

The chair is padded with thick cushions, which is very warm and soft to sit on.

The tea is top quality oolong tea.

Dim sum is the craftsmanship of famous chefs.

Gu Jiu picked up a piece of red bean cake and took a bite. It was sweet, but not greasy. It tasted very good.

She quickly finished a piece of red bean cake, wiped her fingertips, and asked, "Don't you have to go to sea?"

Zhou Jin sat opposite her and laughed, "You care about me?"

"Eat yours, live with you, is it bad to care about your situation?"

Yes, of course!

"If you can care more about me in the future, I will be happier."

Gu Jiu raised her eyebrows and smiled, "You haven't been here for the past two days. Is the search outside getting stricter?"

Zhou Jin's eyes darkened for a moment, "Are you still concerned about the outside world?"

"I'm more of Mrs. Zhao, can you not care? I'm not a heartless person."

Zhou Jin chuckled, "You really want to go back to the palace."

Gu Jiu tilted his head and looked at him, "Will you let me go back?"

Zhou Jin shook his head, "I finally got the chance to be alone, how could I be willing to let you go back. Besides, you are a woman who has been missing for so many days and no one can prove your innocence. Do you think you can go back? ?

Liu Zhao, will he believe your innocence? Why don't you follow me to Jiangnan, I will give you everything you want. "

Finally got to the point.

Gu Jiu lowered her head and smiled, "Why do you need to ask my opinion if you want me to go to Jiangnan with you. My people are in your hands, and you can take me away anytime. The reason why you are still in the capital, let me I guess it's because of the martial law in the capital and the investigations everywhere, you can't take me out of the capital smoothly, right?"

Zhou Jin didn't get angry but smiled, "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you. Then guess, can those people outside find you? How long can the current situation last?"

Gu Jiu smiled, "I haven't seen you for two days. I think you should go out and make some arrangements, which can barely delay for a few days. But I believe that people from the government will come over soon. At that time, what else can you do? "

"When the time comes, I'll knock you out, shove it into the gap of the carriage, and I'll be able to take you out of the capital."

Gu Jiu smiled and shook his head, "You can't! If you can really take me out of the capital so easily, you have already implemented this plan when I was in a coma, so you don't have to wait until now."

"Do you really think that I can't take you out of the capital?"
