Chapter 45: Changing Faces
He pondered for a moment: "This.... It's not difficult to do, but it's all the ministers who follow to hunt, and rashly let Miss Zhen follow, I'm afraid that others will talk about me having that kind of mind, why don't you change the reward?"
"Brother Huang."
Gu Chenghan looked at him seriously: "Who ordered the hallucinogenic drug, why did it appear in Fengqi Palace, we all know clearly, the younger brother only has this request, should you or not?"
Hearing this, the emperor felt inexplicably in his heart.
He sighed and said helplessly: "Yes, are you still not okay if I answer?" I don't know why, back then, there were only three of us left in the nine brothers, and you and Prince An were still so at odds, I had a headache when I looked at you every day. β
Gu Chenghan's eyes flashed slightly, and he said indifferently: "Brother Huang knows, brother never makes trouble." β
"Yes, yes, it's Prince An who has no ability and hates you, and I also persuade you to endure him many times, in the end, I owe you, the matter of the Zhen family's daughter entering the hunting ground is up to you." The emperor sighed helplessly, knowing that he couldn't change the relationship between the two brothers, so he simply didn't say anything.
Gu Chenghan hooked his lips, and then thanked him.
When the news reached the Lotus Pavilion, Zhen Chutian was reading the account book, and when she heard Pei'er come to report the news, she was so shocked that she almost didn't fall to the ground.
The emperor's headache has been cured, the weather has been good in the past half a month, and it will not be windy or rainy in the future, what did she do in the past?
Wait, it can't be that someone deliberately let her go to the hunting grounds, so that she can achieve something at that time!
Is it Gu Mo or the queen?
Thinking of this, Zhen Chutian couldn't calm down anymore.
She hurriedly waved her hand to Pei'er: "You go and inquire immediately now, who entered and left the palace yesterday." β
If there is no one, it means that the queen wants to deliberately rectify it, and if there is someone, then only Gu Mo wants to take the opportunity to cook some raw rice.
Pell didn't know what her young lady was going to do, but she walked away quickly.
When she came back, she also brought accurate news: "Prince Hua once entered the palace last night. β
Hearing this, Zhen Chutian couldn't help but be stunned.
Gu Chenghan told her about the hunting ground and entered the palace, which showed that the emperor's decree to let her go to the hunting ground was Gu Chenghan's request.
But she doesn't know how to hunt at all! I don't want to deal with Gu Mo and that old witch, what can I do if I go?
Zhen Chutian couldn't calmly want to ask clearly, but as soon as she got up, there was movement outside.
"Sister."
Zhen Yue walked in with a food box and smiled brighter than ever.
The experience of being poisoned made Zhen Chutian vigilant: "What are you doing here?"
"Come and see you, I just finished copying the women's training and the women's rules, thinking that I was confused for a while last time, and I really can't stand my sister, so I came here to compensate for it, this is some pastries I made myself."
Zhen Yue explained diligently, then took out the pastry and put it in front of her.
The system was non-toxic, and Zhen Chutian took a bite and put it in his mouth with confidence: "Yes, it's a good pastry, I accepted this thing, you can go." β
"This...."
Zhen Yue's smile froze slightly, obviously not expecting her to say this.
"What, are you okay? It's not a loss, I forgive you, just don't use the lotus hall in the future. Zhen Chutian waved his hand, not eating this set at all.
There must be weirdness when there is nothing to do, and she doesn't give Zhen Yue a chance to make a move.
Zhen Yue smiled more and more reluctantly, and hurriedly said: "I did have something to look for my sister today, I heard that the emperor specially decreed that he wanted my sister to accompany my father to hunt?"
"Yes." Zhen Chutian glanced at her and couldn't help sneering in his heart.
She didn't expect Zhen Yue to get the news so quickly, no wonder she rushed over.
Although the emperor spoke and asked the ladies of the Zhen Mansion to accompany him into the hunting ground, everyone knew who the emperor wanted to go.
At this time, Zhen Yue had to agree to go with her in person, so that people would not say such ugly words as rushing into the hunting ground.
However, she knows better than anyone that there are very few official women in the capital who enter the hunting grounds, and if Zhen Yue goes, her value will definitely increase again.
"Can your sister take me with you? As a woman, you don't know many people inside, Pei'er is afraid that she can't take care of you, so it's better to let me follow, and I can also protect you well and talk to you to relieve your boredom. Zhen Yue shook her hand coquettishly, her eyes full of expectation.
She must go to the hunting ground, not only will she become the most noble woman in the capital, but she will also be able to get close to Prince An, so that the two of them will not have a chance to be alone.
Pei'er was angry when she heard this, and immediately stood by her own young lady's side, and didn't want to think: "I'm sorry Second Miss, the emperor means that only the eldest lady will go by herself, if you really want to go, it's better to go to the palace in person to ask for instructions." β
As soon as these words came out, Zhen Yue's face froze on the spot.
If there is nothing particularly important, a person like her is not qualified to enter the palace to meet the emperor, this kind of saying is specially for Zhen Yue, forcing herself to calm down, and showing a smile: "What the emperor said is that all the female dependents can go, sister, you can help me say a word, others know that I am here to be your companion, so they won't say anything." β
Seeing that Zhen Chutian didn't react, she took two steps forward and said anxiously: "Sister, just promise me, can't I serve you all the way?"
She must go on this spring hunting trip!
Zhen Chutian leaned lazily on the table, quietly looked at her impatient, and suddenly hooked her lips and smiled after a while: "Okay!" If my sister wants to follow, she can follow along, and be my companion on the road. β
"Miss......" Pei'er looked at her in disbelief, only to feel that her own young lady was confused.
Her young lady should know better than anyone that Zhen Yue went to the hunting ground for a purpose, and maybe she would secretly do it, and bad things would happen at any time if she brought it over.
Zhen Chutian waved her hand, signaling that she didn't have to say more.
But she agreed so happily, Zhen Yue still couldn't believe it: "Really? Will my sister let me follow?"
"What's this, there aren't many people." Zhen Chutian shrugged indifferently: "Now that you're satisfied, you can go, right?"
Zhen Yue's excited little face flushed, and she got up and saluted: "Then my sister will go back and prepare first, thank you sister." β
"You're welcome, go ahead, go ahead."
Zhen Chutian watched her leave with a smile, and then showed a little disgust: "Finally left, I haven't seen such a difficult person as her!"
"Miss, why did you take her?"
Pei'er pouted reluctantly, she really couldn't get used to Zhen Yue's happy appearance to achieve her goal.
"You don't understand, do you? Leaving Tang Meihua's mother and daughter in the mansion, I don't know what they want to do, and take Zhen Yue with them, Tang Meihua didn't dare to act rashly at all. Zhen Chutian rubbed the teacup thoughtfully, with many concerns in his heart.
Now that Tang Meihua has just been lifted, she has a grudge in her heart because of the crown and the replacement of people, I am afraid that she is now trying to find a chance to deal with her.
If Zhen Yue followed her away, Tang Meihua knew that her daughter couldn't fight her, so of course she wouldn't act rashly.
Pei'er nodded as if she didn't understand, and then hesitated: "But even if that's the case, the slave maid doesn't worry about the second miss following, what if she makes a trip to the young lady?"
"Why aren't you worried about me stumbling on her? She can't fight me, don't worry. Zhen Chutian winked at her, revealing a smile that relieved her.
Pei'er wanted to speak and stopped, seeing that her young lady was not worried, she had to retreat silently.
A few days passed.
After Zhen Chutian gave Gu Chenghan acupuncture, he was completely relieved to see that he only bleed and did not vomit blood, let alone faint.
"It's going to get better and better in the future."
Hearing this, Gu Chenghan pursed his lips: "I know." β
When he first knew that there was poison in his body, he felt that he was going to die, and it was the appearance of this woman that would make his future life better and better.
"You brought that sister of yours with you?" He came back to his senses and asked the question quietly.
Zhen Chutian cleaned up his things: "The emperor said that it was the daughter of the Zhen family, not me, if I insisted on not taking Zhen Yue, my father would not be able to say it, not to mention that there are few women in the hunting ground, how good it would be to have such a woman by Gu Mo's side who can relieve boredom."
Hearing this, Gu Chenghan hooked his lips and said: "Who knows what bad ideas you have in your head, this time I go back to the hunting ground, I may be able to see a good show." β
"Can't you just watch and forget that we're good friends? When it matters, you have to step up and stick a knife in your friend's ribs. β
Zhen Chutian crossed his hands on his hips and said ambitiously.
Gu Chenghan looked at her small body: "I can consider stabbing you twice." β
"Hey, hey, isn't it? Do you still have friends when you talk like that....."
The sound of the two bickering came from the main hall, and Cui Ping stood in the courtyard and listened to it very clearly.
Her face changed slightly, she looked left and right at no one, and quickly turned around and ran out of the lotus hall.
However, after a while, Zhen Yuanshan and Tang Meihua appeared at the gate of the courtyard.
"The slave is terrified! When I heard the voice of a man in the house, I hurriedly came to report the ticket, but I don't know if the man left. Cui Ping patted his heart and made a frightened look.
Zhen Yuanshan glanced at her, his face completely gloomy.
Even Gu Mo had never been alone with his daughter in the house, if this kind of thing got out, their Prime Minister's Mansion would be embarrassed.
Thinking of this, he immediately stepped into the courtyard gate.
In the house, Zhen Chutian hadn't cleaned up the bloody handkerchief and silver needles on the table, so he made a gesture and grabbed Gu Chenghan's neck: "If you refuse to recognize me as an iron brother, I will strangle you to death Do you believe it or not?"
"Can you strangle me?" Gu Chenghan sneered disdainfully, knowing that it was naΓ―ve to fight with her like this, so he simply accompanied her to make trouble.
Zhen Chutian raised his chin proudly: "Don't look down on me, I ....."
Before she could finish her sentence, there was a sound of extremely fast footsteps outside.
Before the two of them could react, Zhen Yuanshan and they appeared in front of the door.
Seeing Zhen Chutian stepping on the Taishi chair with one foot, and was tightly choking Gu Chenghan's neck, everyone's faces changed drastically.
Zhen Yuanshan didn't care about any lonely men and widows living in the same room, and immediately reprimanded: "Let go of the prince!" Prince Hua's status is noble, how can you offend indiscriminately!"
His tone was so cold that Zhen Chutian hurriedly withdrew his hand: "I, I didn't want to be disrespectful to the prince.....
"Lord Wang, are you okay? Let the lower officials take a look. Zhen Yuanshan didn't pay attention to her words at all, and walked quickly to Gu Chenghan's side, just to check his injuries.
Zhen Chutian narrowed his eyes, skipped him to see Tang Meihua's mother and daughter, and suddenly guessed a little secret.
It may be that the movement between her and Gu Zhihan was too big, and somehow Tang Meihua and the two of them noticed it, so they hurriedly brought Zhen Yuanshan over to arrest the traitor.
It's a pity that the person who is in the same room with her is not a wild man, but the noble Prince Hua.
"This king has nothing to do, she accidentally knocked over Miss Zhen's tea cup, she just played with this king." Gu Chenghan brushed away his hand and explained two sentences without changing his face.
Hearing this, Zhen Yuanshan relieved himself: "I see, but even so, Chu Tian can't be so big and small, Chu Tian, don't you make a compensatory to the prince." β
"I.... Zhen Chutian pointed at himself and was speechless for a long time.
Obviously said that it was a joke, why did she make her pay for it!
