Just as the two of them were about to stand up and bow, the Third Prince waved his hand for them to sit. “1 hope 1 didn’t disturb you two.”

“No, no. Since you’re here, let’s eat together.” Gu Chengrui asked an old maidservant beside him to help get another set of bowls and chopsticks.

The three of them quietly ate breakfast after that.

“What are your plans? Are you going to stay in the capital?” The Third Prince asked after dinner.

After saying that, he waved his hand for the servant to clean up the dishes.

Gu Chengrui waited for the old maidservant to leave before replying, “1 don’t plan to stay long. After I receive the reward, I’ll return to my hometown.

“When the river transportation is restored, the conditions in Qingshui Town will be comparable to those in the capital.”

“That’s good. The capital is a vortex now. If you can leave, leave as soon as possible.

“Oh right, the Emperor will try recruiting you into the palace later. Since you don’t want to stay, remember to downplay your strength.”

“The Emperor wants to see me? Do you know what’s the matter?”

“I’m not sure, but if I’m guessing correctly, he probably wants to keep you in the capital.

“Also, since you’re now placed under Princess Ping Yang, you must pay your respects to her grave.”

“Do you know why the Emperor suddenly put me under Princess Ping Yang’s name?” Gu Chengrui hesitated and asked.

“It’s complicated. But as long as you remain calm, I can still ensure your safety for now.”

“Remain calm, huh?” Gu Chengrui nodded thoughtfully and replied, “I understand. Thank you for the reminder.”

“You’re welcome. Remember to change into a new set of clothes, as the reward should be here in an hour at most.” After the Third Prince finished speaking, he stood up and left.

The husband and wife looked at each other and returned to their room to change.

After changing her clothes, Zhou Ying said, “Be careful after you enter the palace. I will keep an eye on you. 1 will deal with him if he dares to make things difficult for you.”

“Thanks, babe. But since it’s our first meeting, he probably won’t cause trouble for me. Don’t worry.”

“I hope so.” Zhou Ying shook her head with worry.

After that, Gu Chengrui went to his study to read a medical book.

Meanwhile, Zhou Ying brewed a pot of tea and sat in the room, sipping it as she looked at the First Prince.

She found the First Prince in the study of his residence. At the same time, three men of different ages were discussing something inside.

Zhou Ying listened carefully for a moment and finally confirmed that the First Prince had indeed sent the snake charmer she had encountered on the way to the capital.

The First Prince looked at the youngest guy and asked, “Feng, are you sure the basilisk didn’t fall into my third brother’s hands?”

“I’m confident. I’ve sent people to investigate the soldiers. Besides saving Yang Wanning, they didn’t bring any outsiders along the way.

“That night, the soldiers searched the entire camp for the dead snake but couldn’t find it.”

“Strange, where did that basilisk go? Send someone into the mountains to search again. If it’s dead, 1 want to see its corpse.”

“Aye, 1 will bring people over personally.” After saying that, Feng turned around and strode out.

After he left, the First Prince looked at the other two and said, “Mr. Zhao, Mr. Chu, I’m sure you’ve heard about what happened last night. What do you think about the Emperor’s decision?

“Why did he put Gu Chengrui under Ping Yang’s name?”

“I feel that the Emperor is trying to rope him in, my prince.” Mr. Zhao spoke up.

“Rope him in?”

“Yes, you can also say it’s to control him.

“Whether it was the waterwheel or the sweet potato, they were rare, excellent findings. It could be said that it was not an exaggeration to say that it saved our country a thousand years of hard work.

“No one could guarantee that the couple would again come up with something similar.

“If there is, with this ident.i.ty, the Emperor can directly take it over instead of getting it through someone else’s hands..”
