The red sun gradually sets in the west, and night falls in Kyoto.

"My lord, it's bad, something happened!!"

In Prince Qi's palace, a guard with a knife hurried into the main hall, his face looking quite anxious and worried.

Seeing the guard rushing in, a trace of displeasure flashed across Gu Jiang's face, and he said coldly: "Why are you in such a panic! Stand still before you speak!"

The guard stood up straight, clasped his hands in his fists, and lowered his head, "Your Majesty, the four ladies have not returned since they went shopping early in the afternoon. I sent people out to search, and found several corpses in a remote alley. These corpses They are the guards sent out to protect the four ladies today."

"My lord, I'm afraid something has happened to the four young ladies!"

Gu Jiang frowned and looked at the guard in great surprise, "What's going on?!"

"All the guards sent out to protect the four ladies have been killed. My subordinates don't know the specific situation. They only know that the four ladies are missing now."

Seeing that the guard couldn't give any clues, Gu Jiang's expression suddenly changed and he yelled: "Then why don't you go check it out for me!"

"Subordinate, go now!"

The guards did not dare to neglect and left the main hall immediately.

After the guards left, Gu Jiang sat back on the chair, his eyes lowered, lost in thought.

He actually didn't care about the life and death of the four concubines.

After all, in his eyes, this group of women could not provide any additional value other than helping him solve his needs. Even if they died, there wouldn't be any ripples in Gu Jiang's heart.

The reason why he was furious just now was not because the four-bedroom concubine was missing, but because he felt that someone was challenging the prestige of Prince Qi's palace.

Killing his guards, snatching his women, each of them seemed to be a severe slap in the face of King Qi Gu Jiang.

An hour passed and the guard came back again.

Gu Jiang looked at the guards and whispered: "How is the investigation going?! Is there any news about them!"

The guard said: "Your Majesty, I just sent someone to find out that the four ladies had a quarrel with Princess Zhuang of Prince Zhuang's Mansion in a jewelry store. Shortly after that, there was no news about the four ladies. .”

Gu Jiang frowned slightly and whispered, "Be specific!"

The guard immediately explained: "The general story is that the four ladies and the princess of Prince Zhuang's mansion took a fancy to a piece of jewelry in the jewelry store. At that time, the ladies did not know the identity of Princess Zhuang, so they had a conflict with each other. Later, a After the guards broke in, the four ladies knew the identity of Princess Zhuang and gave the jewelry they were interested in to you, Princess Zhuang."

"After that, Princess Zhuang left the jewelry store, and the four ladies followed her. But on the way back, the four ladies were attacked. The guards who protected them were all killed, and the carriage and the four ladies were also gone. Got the trace."

Gu Jiang said: "You mean Princess Zhuang kidnapped the four of them?!"

The guard lowered his head and said: "I dare not say for sure, but the four ladies usually stay at home and rarely come into contact with people outside, so they should not have any enemies."

Gu Jiang raised his eyelids and stopped asking the guards, but he couldn't help but wonder in his heart whether someone from Prince Zhuang's palace had done this.

As the guards said, the four Yangs were just concubines with low status. They had no contact with any big shots on weekdays, so there was little chance of them being retaliated against.

What's more important is that although the four Yangs have no status, they are Gu Jiang's women after all. Who would risk their lives to offend his Prince Qi Palace.

so....

Could it be that it was really someone from Prince Zhuang’s Mansion who did it!

After all, Lao Jiu now has a very high reputation in the court, and he is his royal brother. Could the other party want to use this method to beat him to be more honest, fearing that he will compete with the other party for the throne in the future?

If so, Ninth Brother could indeed use today's dispute as an excuse to take the four Yangs back to their home. And the four of them were his women after all, so there was no way Gu Jiang would not come to the door to get them back.

Thinking of the reason why the four Yangs were arrested, Gu Jiang subconsciously clenched his hands into fists and felt a sense of suffocation in his heart.

The concubine of Prince Qi's Mansion contradicted the princess of Prince Zhuang's Mansion. Even if he went to ask for someone, the other party would definitely give him a blow and force him to apologize to the other party.

Gu Jiang still felt a little uncomfortable because he bowed his head to Lao Jiu for four concubines. But if he didn't go, he would probably be labeled as ruthless, cold-blooded, and not caring about the life and death of his concubine.

After thinking silently, Gu Jiang made a decision, then looked at the guard and said, "Get ready, I'm going to Prince Zhuang's Mansion."

....

"Xiao Junyu, Xiao Niannuan, come to daddy quickly!"

In the room, Jiang Heyan was standing next to her with her third child, Gu Yun, while Gu Chen was sitting on the bedside, happily looking at the two precious daughters on the bed.

"Ah...ah!"

The two little girls muttered a few times, not knowing what they were talking about, and then slowly crawled towards Gu Chen with their feet together. When they crawled to Gu Chen's side and were held in Gu Chen's arms, the two little girls giggled and looked extremely happy.

Ever since the three little ones started crawling, Gu Chen often liked to tease them like this, and the three little ones would actively cooperate.

Seeing the warm and sweet look of the father and daughter, Jiang Heyan also smiled happily.

Who would have thought that the normally cold and stern King Gu Zhuang would actually be a slave to his daughter in private.

While Gu Chen was still teasing the children, Chun Xia ran in directly, looked at Gu Chen holding his two daughters, and said, "Uncle, Prince Qi has come to the house."

King Qi? !

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment and asked curiously: "What is he doing here!"

Chun Xia subconsciously looked at Jiang Heyan next to her, lowered her head and replied, "I don't know, either."

Next to her, Jiang Heyan lowered her eyebrows and explained, "Your Highness, I had some conflicts with several concubines from Prince Qi's Mansion when I was out shopping today. Do you think Prince Qi came here because of this incident?" Reasonable."

Jiang Heyan didn't pay much attention to what happened in the jewelry store today.

After all, although I had a dispute with the other party, in the final analysis it was just a trivial matter and there was no big conflict. Moreover, it was the other party who started the matter in the first place, and she took the lead.

Therefore, Jiang Heyan did not take it seriously and did not explain it to Gu Chen.

I just didn't expect that King Qi would come to my door just after dark.

Hearing Jiang Heyan's explanation, Gu Chen looked a little unhappy and said to the other party: "You are my princess. It's obvious that a concubine of the other party dares to come to stir up trouble. I want to see the four of me." I want to find some explanation for his concubine!"

After saying that, Gu Chen left Xiao Junyu and Xiao Niannuan to Jiang Heyan and Chun Xia to take care of, and walked out of the room.
