The news of Qi Hao and Gu Jinli's return is known to the entire capital, and Yin Suwan is naturally no exception.

In the room, she soaked in a large wooden barrel, holding a brush in her hand, and scrubbed the obvious kiss marks on her body over and over again.

The water was steaming, one of her faces loomed, and the scarlet under her eyes made her look like she was stunned.

In the afternoon, she used her delicate and lovely beauty and her bed skills, which were almost as powerful as the girl in the Qinglou, to capture a prominent minister of the court.

That minister is the oldest of the more than thirty ministers she has accepted so far, and he is also the most perverted one.

No one knew that she was tortured to the point of death by him......

Now when she thinks of the man's fat and bloated body, a mouthful of fishy old yellow teeth, and the hands that are not folded like dead branches and leaves, her chest will be filled with nausea.

He was like a maggot, crushing her and swimming over her.

When she came back, she had been soaking for more than four hours, and she didn't know how many times she had changed the water in the bathtub, but she just felt that she still had the disgusting smell of the man.

At first, it didn't work to soak in the lottery, but then she had to ask Shuang'er to find her a clean brush.

As if she wasn't afraid of pain, her hands were extremely powerful, and she seemed to be willing to brush off the whole skin.

Some parts of the skin have been broken and oozing blood, and some are not broken but are red and swollen.

She felt dirty, no, dirty.

Even if she washes for a day and a night, she is no longer the Yin Suwan she was at the beginning.

Especially when Gu Jinli came back today, her shame was full of air.

Originally, she didn't plan to meet the minister privately today, but the minister sent someone to secretly send a message to the palace early in the morning, with an unrelenting attitude, stalking her, and threatening her that if she didn't leave the palace, the correspondence between them would be exposed.

I hate being threatened the most, and because of this, people really can't be offended, so Yin Suwan can only meet with him.

When you meet each man, what will happen is expected.

Only this time, she didn't expect that she would be tied up with a lot of flowers.

Moreover, the old man also shaved her ......

When I think of Gu Jinli like a clear breeze and a bright moon, she is like a delicate snow lotus in this world, and Yin Suwan herself is the sludge that has been trampled under her feet and trampled thousands of times.

A pair of jade arms and thousands of pillows, a red lip for ten thousand people, even if Gu Jinli once said that Yin Suwan is the cleanest and purest person in her eyes, no matter when and where something happens, Gu Jinli will not dislike her, but Yin Suwan knows that she will never be worthy of Gu Jinli in this life.

Tears mixed with the moisture lingering around, and Yin Suwan couldn't help but sob.

Outside the door, Shuang'er, who had been guarding outside for a long time and had been blowing a cold wind for a while, heard the movement inside, and did not dare to push the door and enter the house directly, so he could only lie on the door and carefully tested: "Master, have you washed it?" ”

Yin Suwan only let Shuang'er in when she was changing the water, because she didn't want Shuang'er to see her dirty body.

"Nope." Gritting her teeth, she continued to brush her body again.

"Yes." Shuang'er shivered from the cold, and didn't dare to go back to his room, so he had to continue to wait outside with his arms crossed.

Tomorrow is Yin Zike's wedding, and the Taifu Mansion is still brightly lit.

Up and down the house, except for Yin Zike, everyone looked beaming, and they couldn't sleep with excitement.

Of course, the second aunt and Yin Penglin's mother and son are also like Yin Zike, and it is difficult to be happy.

Sitting on the bed, the second aunt held a thick needle in one hand and a puppet with Yin Zike's birthday written on the other hand.

She cursed with broken thoughts in her mouth, and stabbed the needle in her hand into the puppet's body.

"Crackling", the candle burst, and a fierce light flashed in the old eyes of the second aunt, which was a little terrifying.

……

Maybe I saw Chen Zexuan last night, so Gu Jinli's heart was very steady, and she also slept peacefully.

As soon as she slept until dawn, if Ah Qiao hadn't come to wake her up, she might have to continue to sleep.

After washing up, Ah Qiao stood behind Gu Jinli, and after combing her hair with a comb, she flipped through the dressing box, and suddenly picked up the peach wood hairpin made by Qi Hao, and said suspiciously: "Master, this hairpin slave seems to be the first time I have seen it." ”

"It's pretty chic." Gu Jinli glanced at it, nodded and said, "Maybe I was pressed underneath before, so I didn't pay attention." ”

At this time, Aiyue came in with breakfast, and saw that Ah Qiao was holding a hairpin in her hand, and she didn't hurry to comb Gu Jinli's hair, so she urged: "Ah Qiao, move faster, it's going to be late if it's too late!" ”

"Uh-oh." Ah Qiao inserted the hairpin into Gu Jinli's hair and asked, "Aiyue, is this hairpin newly purchased by you for your master?" It's very worthy of the master's clothes. ”

Gu Jinli wore a crescent white robe today, and the whole person looked gentle and elegant, but also noble and introverted, coupled with this hairpin, it added an indescribable charm.

Aiyue stepped forward, widened her eyes, looked at the hairpin carefully, then shook her head, and affirmed: "I didn't buy it, and it shouldn't be Hexiang." ”

"The two of us have been staying in the yard and have never gone out, where is the opportunity to go shopping."

After that, she pulled Gu Jinli to the table disappreciatively, and while starting to make dishes, she instructed: "Master, there must be a lot of people who go to Yin Gongzi's wedding today, you follow the prince, don't move around." ”

"Hehe" smiled, she blinked her eyes again, and said with a malicious smile: "People say that people are in good spirits when they are happy, Yin Gongzi is a talent, and he is a good person, you take a few more looks for the slave maid, and it can be regarded as a fulfillment of the slave's dream." ”

"Huh?" Gu Jinli drank the soup and asked, "When did you think about Yin Gongzi?" How did I not know? ”

"No, the slave has a humble status, how dare she think about Yin Gongzi." Aiyue waved her hand and pouted: "It's just a simple admiration of fans for idols, after all, Yin Gongzi is one of the five handsomes in Beijing!" ”

"The five juns of the capital?" This word was a little unfamiliar to Gu Jinli, she bit the steamed bun and said vaguely: "Who else besides my brother?" ”

Aiyue heard the word "brother" from Gu Jinli's mouth for the first time, she opened her mouth, I don't know if that person is the same as she guessed: "Master, the brother you are talking about is ......"

Gu Jinli swallowed the steamed bun, unwilling to explain too much: "Xuan Shizi, my brother-in-law." ”

The identities of her and Chen Zexuan should not be known by too many people for the time being.

Especially the people around her, the more she knows, the more dangerous it is.

"Because the prince rarely returns to Beijing, there is no him in the five junli in the capital." Aiyue is not a stupid person, after such a long time, she can also detect the unusual relationship between Gu Jinli and Chen Zexuan, seeing that Gu Jinli doesn't want to say much, she continued: "According to the order of the market, the prince is the first, the king is the second, the second is the Yingongzi, the eldest prince is the fourth, and the second prince is the fifth. ”

After returning to Beijing, Gu Jinli and Gu Chengen didn't have much intersection, so she frowned and said, "The eldest son? Are you talking about Gu Chengen? ”

Aiyue knew that Gu Jinli had amnesia, and nodded, "That's right, it's the eldest son and the second son of our Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"Love Moon." Reluctantly filling her stomach, Gu Jinli put down her chopsticks and said lightly: "There is one thing, maybe I haven't told you all the time, but now you need to remember that since the moment I jumped off the cliff two years ago, I have nothing to do with the Prime Minister's Mansion." ”

"Now, I am Lin Sheng, and it is impossible for me to have a relationship with the Prime Minister."

"What if...... You and Hexiang are still in love with Xiangfu, so you can go back. ”

"Master?!" When Aiyue heard this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down with a "poof": "The slave maid and Hexiang have never had two hearts for their masters, and you are the only master in this life." ”

"The slave knows that she is wrong, and she will never mention the Prime Minister's Mansion and the eldest prince in the future!"

"Please don't drive the slave and the slave and the lotus fragrance away, the slave and the maid really know that they are wrong!"

For the loyalty of Hexiang and Aiyue, Gu Jinli has never doubted.

However, in the hearts of the two girls, she may still be the second lady of the Gu family.

Gu Jinli couldn't tell them the truth, but she couldn't still let them list her in the ranks of the Gu family.

After all, Gu Huai is still unswervingly standing at the head of the Xuanwang Party, which is really like thunder.

Although Gu Jinli couldn't figure out why Gu Huai was so desperate for King Xuan, Gu Jinli knew that sooner or later she would eradicate the Gu family.

Therefore, if the relationship with the Gu family was cleared earlier, it would not be that at that time, Aiyue and Hexiang would not be able to bear it.

Helping Aiyue up, Gu Jinli looked at her with faint eyes, and said slowly: "Aiyue, I am no longer the Gu Jinli I used to be." ”

"I don't want to remember everything before, and I can't remember it."

"In the future, don't mention it again."

Aiyue bit her lip, held back her tears, and nodded heavily: "Yes, the slave remembers." ”

Patting Aiyue's hand, Gu Jinli smiled and said, "Okay, what are you crying about, people who don't know still think I'm bullying you!" ”

Aiyue pouted and said in a muffled voice: "You don't want to be a slave, isn't this bullying?" ”

"Okay, just scare you so you can have a snack." Gu Jinli pinched Aiyue's face funny, and then said to Ah Qiao: "It's time to go." ”

"Yes, master." Ah Qiao saw Gu Jinli raise his feet and leave, and also followed behind and walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the courtyard, Du Jiang greeted him and said to Gu Jinli: "Young Master Lin, the prince is already waiting for you outside." ”

"Hmm", Gu Jinli walked forward with Ah Qiao expressionlessly.

When Du Jiang looked up, he saw the hairpin on Gu Jinli's head, he was stunned at first, and then laughed.

He thought that Qi Hao gave it to Gu Jinli in person last night, and since Gu Jinli was wearing it on his head, it meant that he accepted Qi Hao's intentions, which was undoubtedly a good sign.

Qi Hao was looking forward to Gu Jinli changing her mind, and the relationship between the two had a good tension, and Du Jiang naturally wanted to be happy for Qi Hao.

Gu Jinli got into the carriage, didn't squint, and sat opposite Qi Hao.

Ah Qiao also sat down next to Gu Jinli according to his usual habits.

At the moment when Gu Jinli lifted the curtain, Qi Hao saw the hairpin he made on Gu Jinli's head at a glance, his eyes lit up, and he instantly returned to normal.

Gu Jinli didn't notice the change in Qi Hao's eyes, and only had a cold face like an iceberg.

Qi Hao quietly looked at Gu Jinli's expression, and when he saw her appearance, he didn't seem to know where the hairpin came from, and he was a little disappointed and a little happy at the same time.

He didn't have to think about it to know that if Gu Jinli knew that this hairpin was carved by himself, he would definitely throw this hairpin out the window.

Looking away, he picked up the fold on the side and looked at it absentmindedly.

The car was as quiet as ever, and Ah Qiao felt the silence and coldness flowing in the air, and lowered his head helplessly.

"Da da da", when the carriage was away from the gate of the Yin family, Du Jiang tightened the reins of the horse and stopped: "Lord Wang, there are too many carriages in front, the road is blocked, we can't cross." ”

Qi Hao didn't need to look out, he could only hear the sound of traffic outside, and he could imagine that there must be a crowd of people in front of him.

Raising his eyes to look at Gu Jinli, he finally spoke: "Ah Gu, let's get off here first." ”

Even if Gu Jinli didn't want to get out of the car, there was no way.

After all, the carriage didn't have wings and couldn't fly into the Yin family's yard.

If she doesn't get out of the car and walk over, can she still let Qi Hao carry her back?

Suddenly, she lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage.

Ah Qiao followed, and the master and servant took a few steps forward, looking at the crowd in front of the Yin family, with heads next to heads, and some heads were a little big for a while.

That's right, there are many people who came to congratulate Yin Zike today.

From the important ministers of the court to the squires who want to tie up the Yin family, there is really a rhythm that wants to trample the threshold of the Yin family.

Standing on tiptoe, Gu Jinli could barely see the housekeeper and a few servants bending down and bowing over and over again, welcoming the guests.

If you follow the flow of people, it will take at least half a cup of tea to walk to the door.

Suddenly, her waist tightened, Gu Jinli didn't look back, she subconsciously wanted to buckle the wrist of the person behind her, and fell hard over the shoulder, but before she could make a move, her foot left the ground.

"Du Jiang, you take Ah Qiao in." At this time, Qi Hao lifted Gu Jinli and flew up, and flew towards the Yin family's courtyard with light skills, without forgetting to drop a sentence.

"Yes, lord." Du Jiang stopped the carriage and answered.

Ah Qiao also knows martial arts, and she has never been in close contact with men.

Therefore, after hearing Qi Hao's words, she hurriedly blushed and said, "Guard Du, I don't need you to take me, I can do it myself." ”

After that, she tapped her toes and chased after Qi Hao and Gu Jinli.

Du Jiang smiled and followed.

"Ouch, which turtle grandson dares to hit Lao Tzu in the head!"

Qi Hao didn't know whose head he stepped on halfway, but he heard an abrupt discordant sound in the already lively crowd.

It was a skinny old squire like a monkey, and although he was not very tall, his voice was very sharp.

Touching his head, he looked behind him.

The people behind him didn't provoke him at all, and when he looked up, he saw a black shadow and a white shadow flashing quickly, and he said in a loud voice: "? G, look! ”

The others also saw Qi Hao and Gu Jinli, and couldn't help but discuss it with their mouths: "Oh, it turned out to be Lord Ning!" ”

"The person in Prince Ning's arms is that little male pet, right?"

"Tsk, these two people are very handsome!"

"What's Joon's for? Can't have children! ”

"Hmph, what do you do when you have a baby? There are so many people in our country, and we don't miss a child! ”

"Prince Ning is the one who wants to be the emperor, he has no heirs, how can this be?"

……

Gossip is human nature.

Especially these things between the nobles and nobles are the most incredibly gossipy.

Qi Hao hugged Gu Jinli tightly, and the bodies of the two were close together, which was very intimate in the eyes of outsiders.

But only the two of them knew how stiff Gu Jinli's body was in Qi Hao's arms.

The people below watched her and Qi Hao fly over their heads with those hot eyes, and Gu Jinli only felt like a clown jumping off the beam, allowing others to watch and discuss.

After struggling for a while, Gu Jinli said coldly: "Qi Hao, you let me down." ”

The further you walked to the door, the more people came, and there was simply no place on the road below where people could stand.

If Gu Jinli insists on going down now, she will either be trampled on and crippled, or she will be squeezed into a meatloaf.

"Ah Gu, don't make trouble." Qi Hao grabbed Gu Jinli and held his elbow against him, and said in a low voice, "You will be injured if you fall." ”

With that, he sped up.

Flying past the door, Qi Hao and Gu Jinli landed directly in the courtyard.

The housekeeper saw the two of them flying over just now, and now that he saw them fall to the ground, he immediately trotted into the courtyard: "The little one has seen Lord Ning and Master Lin." ”

Gu Jinli brushed away Qi Hao's big hand on her waist, and said with a smile: "What about your eldest son?" ”

The housekeeper said respectfully: "Go back to Gongzi Lin, the eldest prince is inside, please go to the flower hall with Prince Ning first." ”

With that, he greeted Qi Hao and Gu Jinli and walked in the direction of the flower hall.

"Fourth brother." After walking a short distance, two people came from the bluestone path on the other side.

The Eighth Prince and Chen Zexuan, one is dressed in red, and the other is dressed in purple, which is not exciting to look at.

Gu Jinli's eyes lit up when they fell on Chen Zexuan, but her face was still as calm as water.

Chen Zexuan shook his fan and smiled beautifully: "Lord Ning." ”

Qi Hao nodded, his eyes lingered between Chen Zexuan and the Eighth Prince, and his tone was flat: "Little Eight came very early. ”

If the Eighth Prince didn't notice the coldness in Qi Hao's eyes, he said gently: "I thought that there must be a lot of people coming today, and I was afraid that I would miss the hour on the road, so I set off early." ”

"Grunt", the sound of the wheelchair and the ground was heard.

A few people followed the prestige, only to see Yin Zike, dressed in a red wedding robe, being pushed over by his entourage.

His face was a little sickly pale, even more haggard than Gu Jinli looked before she left Beijing.

There is a faint cyan circle under his eyes, maybe he didn't rest well last night.

"Prince Ning, the eighth prince, the prince, the prince of Lin." Greeted them one by one, Yin Zike's expression didn't show any joy, but his tone lowered on the last three words.

Gu Jinli arched her hand to Yin Zike and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Yin Gongzi." ”

Yin Zike's face stiffened, and he turned his wheelchair: "A few please." ”

Gu Jinli followed behind Yin Zike, glanced at the Eighth Prince who was parallel to him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

is also dressed in red, the eighth prince is smiling, with the brightness of a young man.

Although this brightness is only on the surface, on such a happy day, Yin Zike, as the groom's official, seems to be indifferent, and today's wedding is just a scene and a process.

To put it mildly, this is not a wedding, but a funeral.

That's right, this is a funeral for Yin Zike.

buried the happiness of his life, and completely buried his feelings for Gu Jinli.

As soon as I walked to the door of the flower hall, I could hear the voices of ministers complimenting each other from inside.

As soon as they saw Qi Hao, Chen Zexuan, and the Eighth Prince coming in with Yin Zike, a group of people rushed forward again and began to pile up flattering words on several of them.

Gu Jinli saw that these ministers' praise was not the same, pursed the corners of her mouth, and walked to her seat.

"Yin Gongzi, I'm so happy!" Of course, some of them didn't forget to give Yin Zike face, and said a few auspicious words.

Yin Zike only responded with a light smile to other people's congratulations.

That smile, seeing in Gu Jinli's eyes, actually gave birth to a kind of sympathy and pity.

"Crackling", with a loud sound of firecrackers, the butler shouted: "The bride is here!" ”

The person who went to greet his relatives was a handsome man beside Yin Zike.

He was holding the silk in his hand, and at the other end of the silk was Jiang Qinglan, who was dressed in a phoenix crown.

Under the red hijab, Jiang Qinglan's little face was crimson, her heart was beating wildly, and she was very nervous.

This marriage is a marriage for her.

After all, the Yin family was personally granted the status of "imperial merchants" by the old emperor.

As the young grandmother of the Yin family, she will be the head of the Yin family in the future, and this status naturally cannot be underestimated.

Even if Yin Zike can't go to the Jiang family to greet his relatives today because of the inconvenience of his legs and feet, the eldest lady has already said that Yin Zike's legs are improving, and it won't take long to get off the ground.

Yin Zike's identity, appearance, and character are all outstanding among the children of high-ranking officials in Beijing.

Therefore, Jiang Qinglan felt that being able to marry such a wishful husband might really be the virtue she had accumulated in her previous life, and she could laugh even in her dreams.

Stepping cautiously over the brazier, the entourage handed the silk to Yin Zike: "Childe." ”

Jiang Qinglan lowered her head, her eyes peeked out secretly from under the hijab, but she could only see the two wheels of the wheelchair, and above was Yin Zike's delicate embroidered boots, and on top of the boots was a half-red wedding robe.

Yin Zike's hand holding the wheelchair tightened, but he didn't immediately reach out to take the silk over.

Everyone waited for a while, and when they saw that Yin Zike didn't move, they couldn't help but start whispering: "What's wrong with Yin Gongzi?" ”

"Tut, isn't it going to regret marriage?"

"Shhh, I heard that this marriage is decided by Mrs. Yin, maybe this Yin Gongzi is really unhappy."

"That's right, according to the current status of the Yin family, even if you marry a princess, it's quite!"

……

The voices of the crowd were like thin needles, invisibly piercing into more than 3,600 pores on Jiang Qinglan's body.

She began to panic, her body shaking.

Could it be that as everyone said, Yin Zike would regret his marriage?

No, it can't be like this! She will become the laughing stock of the whole capital!

Just when Jiang Qinglan almost couldn't help but lift the hijab, Yin Zike took the silk and whispered to the entourage who greeted him: "It's hard." ”

After saying that, he turned the wheelchair with his other hand and led Jiang Qinglan to the hall.

Jiang Qinglan's worry in her throat finally fell, and she exhaled heavily, secretly glad that she was not impulsive just now.
