Cui Jinyuan walked to the study with tea, and when she passed the courtyard, Du Ruo walked towards her.

Du Ruo has always disliked Cui Jinyuan, she was originally the personal female official next to Gu Huaijin, but since Gu Huaijin brought Aunt Cui's mother and daughter back, all the things she took care of were handed over to Cui Jinyuan. Du Ruo stayed up for several years before he was promoted to the position of His Royal Highness's close attendant, and Cui Jinkite got it as soon as he came, and he was quite favored by His Highness. Du Ruo felt that his position was threatened.

When passing by Cui Jinyuan's side, Du Ruo turned around slightly, Cui Jinyuan was knocked and staggered a few steps, and then the cup in his hand also fell over.

The hot tea spilled on Cui Jinyuan's hand, burning her arm painfully, she felt aggrieved in her heart, and turned her face to reason with Du Ruo.

Who knew that Du Ruo took the initiative and glared at her viciously, "In such a spacious yard, you hit me with all the tea, do you want to burn me?" ”

"It's obviously your ......" Cui Jinyuan saw her lying like this, and her face turned red with anger.

"What am I?" Du Ruo interrupted her coldly, pointed to the broken porcelain pieces on the ground and said, "Why don't you pick them up quickly, do you want to wait for His Highness to come out and slap his feet?" ”

Cui Jinyuan just wanted to argue, but saw Gu Huaijin walking here. She bit her lip, crouched down, and picked up the broken cup without saying a word.

But Du Ruo didn't let her go, stared at the brocade kite squatting on the ground, and mocked mercilessly, "That's right, the slave maid must have the appearance of a slave maid, why should you be noble?" ”

"She's a little more noble than you." Gu Huaijin picked up Cui Jinyuan and looked at Du Ruo with a slightly cold gaze, "This king will accept Jinyuan as a concubine, and she will also be your master at that time." ”

Cui Jinyuan was shocked and looked at Gu Huaijin in disbelief.

Du Ruo's face turned pale, and he knew that he had made a big mistake, so he quickly knelt down.

Gu Huaijin was originally just tired of reading, and when he heard the sound of firecrackers in the distance, he remembered that today was the day when Gu Huaiyu and Xiao Wangshu got married. For some reason, he always felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, so he said that he was sick. He walked to the window to breathe, but he saw such a scene.

Gu Huaijin has always hated the jealousy of the palace people in his palace, and Du Ruo couldn't be clearer about this.

"You have served by the king's side for so long, you should know the rules, go to Duke Xu to receive the punishment yourself."

After Du Ruo left, Gu Huaijin comforted Cui Jinyuan, "Don't be afraid, I said I would protect you." ”

Cui Jinyuan felt that her eyes were hot, and she lowered her head slightly, "Is what His Highness said true?" ”

"I wanted to give you a name, but you're different from me. I forgot to ask your opinion in order to protect you, I hope you don't blame me. Gu Huaijin smiled and shook Cui Jinyuan's hand, "It's just that I want to wronged you to be a concubine." ”

Tears slid down, and Cui Jinyuan hurriedly shook his head, "I can't be wronged by what I can do beside Your Highness." ”

At this moment, Zixu hurriedly walked in and said something in Gu Huaijin's ear.

Gu Huaijin looked slightly surprised at first, but after a while, he laughed, as if he was in a good mood.

He said to Cui Jinyuan: "Let's go, go and see my brother's faint ceremony." ”

Cui Jinyuan didn't understand, "Isn't Your Highness already sick?" ”

"It's okay, it's just a cold." Gu Huaijin's lips were slightly raised, and he couldn't hide the sporadic smile in his eyes.

After the faint ceremony, Gu Huaiyu opened the Xipa, looked at Xiao Sirou in front of him, and was furious. Xiao Shuli quickly learned about the situation. She quickly blocked the matter and handed over the news to the Xiao Mansion.

Just after midnight on the twenty-seventh day of the winter moon, with the news from the palace, the joy of the Xiao Mansion disappeared, and it turned into a haze.

Xiao Lingheng's face was very solemn, "What the hell is going on?" Where did Wangshu go? ”

Ling Lu knelt on the ground, also panicked, "The maid doesn't know, Miss Sirou came to find the girl yesterday, and then the maid retreated." ”

At that time, in the "Changqiu Palace", Xiao Shuli looked at Xiao Sirou, who was kneeling down, and slapped the table fiercely.

"Who gave you the courage to pretend to be Wangshu and marry into the palace?"

When did Xiao Sirou see this battle, she suddenly trembled with fright, "It's my sister...... My sister didn't want to enter the palace, so she asked me to marry my cousin on her behalf......"

"Impossible!" Gu Huaiyu immediately interrupted her words, after what happened last time, he really couldn't believe Xiao Sirou.

"Mother, Wangshu never said that she didn't want to enter the palace, not to mention that she and Xiao Sirou had a dispute, how could she be asked to marry instead?"

Xiao Shuli knew that things were not so simple, she remembered the things reported by Qiu Xuan, and she became suspicious.

After a while, Xiao Shuli's complexion returned to normal, and she said to Xiao Sirou: "How do I know that you are not lying?" If you don't have this mind, how can she persuade you? ”

Xiao Sirou was speechless, she knew very well that the most important thing now was to protect herself.

She glanced at Gu Huaiyu with an aggrieved look, "Last time I did do something foolish to make my sister sad, but because of this, I felt guilty, and when my sister came to beg me, I relented and agreed." ”

"It's a good one, and I'm soft-hearted for a while." Xiao Shuli sneered and narrowed her eyes slightly, "When I find Wangshu, I will confront you face to face." ”

Xiao Fu dispatched guards to search the entire Chang'an, and finally found Wangshu by the Weihe Bridge, at this time she had fallen into a coma.

The subordinates took her back, and Xiao Lingheng immediately invited a doctor. The doctor said that her coma was caused by a heavy blow to her head and blood stasis, but fortunately there was no major problem.

Lu Youqing was distressed and accompanied Wangshu by the bedside for a night, and secretly shed tears.

Wangshu woke up in the morning, got up and asked for a few sips of water to drink, and fell asleep again, and it was already afternoon when he got up again.

After Xiao Lingheng heard the report from his subordinates, he went straight to Wangshu's house. Before the person could enter, a faint sobbing sound was heard.

As soon as Wang Shu woke up, he hugged Lu Youqing and cried so much that he was not sad, Xiao Lingheng couldn't help but feel a little soft-hearted when he saw it, and his tone of wanting to ask the teacher for guilt was also lighter.

"Shu'er, what's going on? How did you end up at the river? How could Rou'er be in the palace? ”

"Daddy......" Wangshu called out very sadly, and then raised his head from Lu Youqing's shoulder, the corners of his eyes were still adorned with tears that had not yet fallen, "My daughter once had a misunderstanding with her sister, and before she got married, she asked Linglu to call her to untie the knot." I saw her walk behind me, thinking that she was going to help me straighten it, but then there was a dull pain in my head, and I lost consciousness anymore......"

"Are you saying that Rou'er hurt you and then pretended to marry you in the palace?" Xiao Lingheng was skeptical, as far as he knew, Xiao Sirou, who had always been timid, was afraid that it would be difficult for him to do such a ruthless thing.

But Linglu was very angry that her girl had been robbed of her family, and she hurriedly stood up and added: "Yes, yes, Miss Sirou has always liked His Royal Highness King Yong." Last time, I asked His Royal Highness King Yongwang to help her back to the room by twisting her foot, and deliberately seduced His Royal Highness King Yongwang, and the girl and I could see it clearly at that time. ”

"Also, before our girl kindly brought Miss Sirou into the palace, she deliberately provoked the relationship between His Royal Highness King Yongwang and our girl, and pushed the daughter-in-law of Lord Tingwei's family into the lake. If the lord doesn't believe it, you can ask the subordinates in the palace and the palace people, and they have seen it with their own eyes. ”

Wangshu glanced at Xiao Lingheng's darkening complexion, and hurriedly scolded: "Okay, Zero Dew, let those things pass." ”

"Girl, you're too easy to bully." Zero Dew was still angry.

Lu Youqing saw that her daughter had been wronged so much, she couldn't sit still anymore, wiped her tears and said: "Master, you must investigate this matter clearly, our Shu'er is really pitiful, how can Sirou do such a thing......"

"Alright." Xiao Lingheng has never been bothered by the affairs of the inner house, and now he only feels that one head and two are big, and he said impatiently: "Now that Niangniang has temporarily blocked the news, Your Majesty still doesn't know about it, everything will wait for the day Sirou returns to the door." ”

After everyone left, the sadness on Wangshu's face quietly receded, and she deducted the bright red Kodan on her finger little by little.

Although Xiao Sirou is a little sorry for this matter, Wang Shu also knows very well that Xiao Sirou has already made the same choice as her.

She said that she would never take the initiative to harm others, and there was a day when it was just to protect herself.

The daylight on the horizon slowly dissipated, and Chang'an City gradually dimmed in the fading light and shadow, and soon the night turned into a new day.

Gu Huaijin's head was always groggy because he drank too much wine the night before, and he fell asleep immediately after coming down in the morning, and didn't wake up until the evening.

As soon as he rinsed his mouth, Cui Jinyuan brought the sobering tea, and said with some disgust: "Yesterday, His Royal Highness King Yong got married, how can it be as if His Royal Highness got married himself, he drank so much wine, and in the end it was carried back by the palace people." ”

"This king is happy for my royal brother, who has finally married a virtuous daughter-in-law." Gu Huaijin also felt a little funny when she thought of her gaffe yesterday.

"But no, the maid has long heard that the daughter-in-law of the Imperial Family's family is not only dignified and magnificent, but also extraordinarily heroic, and the deeds of saving His Majesty outside the enclosure that day are still being praised in the palace." Cui Jinyuan echoed while making the bed.

"Dignified atmosphere?" Gu Huaijin couldn't help but pause with his hand holding the teacup, and couldn't help muttering softly, "Those people must be blind, no matter how you look at them, they won't look at them." ”

Cui Jinyuan didn't understand why he was making an awkward deal about this matter, but the picture of Gu Huaijin saving Xiao Wangshu when he was in the autumn suddenly flashed in his mind, as well as Xiao Wangshu's hostile gaze, and a trace of surprise flashed in his heart.

Cui Jinyuan was uneasy and forcibly pressed them down.

She walked up to Gu Huaijin and slowly leaned on his shoulder, "Your Highness, will our days be so lively?" ”

"Naturally, it's lively." Gu Huaijin hugged her gently, but the smile in her eyes was so shallow.
