Chapter 135: Returning Home
The drooping arms, the clucking of fists, the thin lips tightened into a resolute thin line, and the face was full of iron blue. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biqugeγ info
Xiao Yu has never felt so useless as he does now.
At this moment, Xiao Yu desperately wanted to marry Gu Yuqing back to the house, take care of her openly, protect her, and not let her be hurt in the slightest.
Seeing off the imperial doctor, Concubine Hui looked at her son's sad and angry appearance, and sighed faintly in her heart, "Otherwise, I will mention it like the emperor, and after she is married, you will get married." β
Xiao Yu flatly refused, "Mother, what I want to do is extremely dangerous, the more I go to the back, the more I want to be swords, how can I let her take this danger with me, or wait." β
Hui Guifei sighed silently, "That is the case, you don't have to linger any longer, when she wakes up, I will let her go back," as she spoke, Hui Guifei's tone paused, and her emphasis seemed to be aggravated, "No matter how Your Majesty disposes of the eldest princess, you don't want to participate." β
Xiao Yu's eyes showed annoyance, and his clenched fist hung down on the table beside him, "She is the daughter of her father, and she is maintained by the queen, no matter how heavy the punishment is, it is just a ban on copying scriptures, what else can I do!"
When the words fell, the room fell silent for a while, and the incense of agarwood burning in a cloisonnΓ© enamel incense burner rose, lingering, adding a heaviness to the silence.
Concubine Hui looked at Xiao Yu with a pair of distressed eyes, and said softly: "You have been dormant for so many years, you must not be ...... because of it"
"I know, the concubine doesn't need to tell me anymore. Xiao Yu interrupted Concubine Hui's words, took a deep breath, and exhaled faintly, "This place will be handed over to the mother concubine, and it will inevitably make people gossip if I stay any longer." β
Reluctantly stared at Gu Yuqing for a moment, even though his heart was like being beaten with an iron whip, Xiao Yu still resolutely turned around and left.
By the time Gu Yuqing returned to the Marquis of Chinan Mansion from the palace, it was already getting dark.
After drinking the medicine, with a candied fruit handed over by Ruyi in his mouth, Gu Yuqing leaned on the pillow behind him and asked Jixiang, "Why did His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince go down?"
At the mention of Xiao Yu, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but blush, and a circle of ripples rippled in her heart.
Ji Xiang immediately said: "The slave maid was originally going to ask the Queen Mother for help according to the instructions of the young lady, but she happened to meet Her Royal Highness the Fourth Prince on the way, and His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was walking with Dong Shizi at that time, and the two of them looked like they were looking for something, and they were anxious. β
"As soon as I saw the slave maid, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince didn't look for anything, but only asked where the slave maid was, and the slave maid was afraid that the eldest princess would be unfavorable to the young lady, and the slave maid was still far away from the queen mother's bedroom, so she ......"
"So you asked His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince for help?" Gu Yuqing asked with a twisted eyebrow, Ji Xiang said that Xiao Yu was looking for something important at that time, but inexplicably, Gu Yuqing's first reaction was that Xiao Yu was looking for her at that time.
Such thoughts crossed his mind, and Gu Yuqing's hand holding the handkerchief unconsciously oozed a layer of fine sweat, and the roots of his ears were red again.
Gu Yuqing asked, and Ji Xiang immediately said uneasily: "Miss, did the slave do something wrong?"
Gu Yuqing sighed and said, "The eldest princess was instructed to kidnap me, and I don't know why the person who kidnapped me has the intention, but I'm afraid that it will affect His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." β
Ji Xiang's face suddenly turned pale, looked at Gu Yuqing cautiously, and said, "Slave, slave and maid know that it is wrong." β
The corners of Gu Yuqing's mouth pursed a smile and shook her head, "I don't blame you, you are also worried about me like this, and it is also thanks to you to ask His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince for help in time, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to survive the Queen Mother." β
Ji Xiang knew that Gu Yuqing's words were relieving her, and his heart became more and more uneasy.
"After you asked the four princes for help, how did you find the emperor and queen and Hui Guifei again?" Gu Yuqing asked with the ripples in her heart.
Ji Xiang said: "It's not a slave, it's His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince." His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince got the words of the slave maid, so he rushed towards the island in the middle of the lake at that time, but he didn't take two steps and came back, leading the slave and maid to the bedroom of Concubine Hui. β
It happened that the emperor was also with Hui Guifei Niangniang at that time, and the slave maid told the emperor and Hui Guifei Niangniang what she was going to say to the Queen Mother according to the young lady's previous instructions. β
Hui Guifei said that it was better to inform the queen that it was better to inform the eldest princess that it was involved. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince said that he was worried that the eldest princess would do something reckless and irreparable, so he asked the emperor for permission and took the lead in leaving. β
I see...... Gu Yuqing looked at the fire and candle on the table and jumped slightly out of her mind, and for a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, she asked Jixiang again, "When you went to Concubine Hui's dormitory, weren't the people of the Dong family there?"
Today is Concubine Hui's birthday, and with the emperor's favor for Concubine Hui, I think I want to stay for the Dong family dinner.
Jixiang nodded, "Yes, it's just that at that time, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince first led the slaves and maids to the side hall and quietly invited Concubine Hui and the emperor to come over, avoiding the people of the Dong family." After speaking, Ji Xiang said: "There is also Dong Shizi, and the fourth prince also instructed him in every possible way not to tell others about this." β
When Gu Yuqing heard this, she only felt relieved in her heart, and some warmth floated up.
Although this matter is Xiao Jingyu's fault, but in the end, Xiao Jingyu's identity is there, if it is in a uproar, it will hurt the royal dignity after all.
At that time, in order to maintain the royal dignity, the emperor still doesn't know how to distort the truth.
Xiao Yu is like this, it can be said that he has good intentions and has saved her.
Thinking of this, the ripples in Gu Yuqing's heart expanded again, fluttering and stretching.
"How about the things I asked you to inquire about?" After a few turns of thought, Gu Yuqing took a deep breath and stopped thinking about Xiao Yu.
"I inquired clearly, when the palace banquet was dispersed, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was taken back to the palace by Concubine Shu, and during the time when the young lady was in the secret room, His Royal Highness the Second Prince was there and did not come out. β
"It's His Royal Highness the Third Prince, after coming out of Concubine Hui's place, he didn't leave the house, but the slave didn't know where he went. β
As he spoke, a gust of wind passed through the half-open window, blowing the scorching flames of the candles on the table, looking at this flame, Gu Yuqing sneered in her heart, and Xiao Yi's cloudy eyes appeared in her mind.
It's just that she can't figure out why Xiao Yi kidnapped her.
Also, when she was trapped in the secret room by Xiao Jingyu at that time, why did Xiao Yi eavesdrop outside the secret room, what did he want to hear, or what he wanted to see, his mind was numb, Gu Yuqing couldn't figure it out.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he put it aside first, and Gu Yuqing instructed Ruyi, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get up these days, you tell Mama Huang and let her go to Duanwang's Mansion again, and the three-day appointment with Concubine Cheng will be temporarily withdrawn to ten days later." β
Ruyi was ordered to leave, and when Concubine Cheng received the news, her heart, which had been suffering for a whole day, suddenly relaxed, and on this day, she seemed to have experienced a resurrection.
