Bai Ye's preemptive questioning made the air in the living room freeze instantly.

"Meng Yao, kneel!" Du Jinyin ordered in a deep voice.

Du Mengyao walked to the bottom of the hall in a panic, and knelt down in the direction of the main seat with her legs bent. "Grandpa, grandpa......"

"You're not supposed to call me!" Du Jinyin looked at Du Mengyao with hatred. "Disrespectful to the second prince and concubine, slandering the national teacher of the dynasty, these two crimes are enough for you to die once, you should thank the second prince for his kindness......"

"Wait." Bai Ye folded his legs, leaned back on the back of the chair, and walked unhurriedly. "Old lady Du, don't rush to put up a high hat for this prince, this prince is not merciful, but he has not had time to investigate the prime minister's daughter for offending this prince."

Du Jinyin choked. “……”

Prime Minister Du Shoucheng couldn't sit still, so he knelt beside Du Mengyao and pleaded guilty to Bai Ye. "The second prince is angry, Meng Yao, this girl has been pampered since she was a child, and she is spoiled by Weichen and the cheap so that she doesn't know how to measure, Weichen implores the second prince to raise his noble hand and let it fall lightly."

"Daddy......" Du Mengyao was at a loss.

Du Shoucheng turned his head and scolded Du Mengyao. "What are you doing in a daze, why don't you ask the second prince for guilt!"

Du Mengyao was really scared, so she hurriedly lay down, her forehead also pressed against the ground. "Meng Yao is guilty, please forgive the second prince."

"The prime minister is serious." Bai Ye got up and stepped forward to help Du Shoucheng. "Today's matter, this prince will not speak out, nor will he hold the prime minister and his daughter accountable, but I just hope that the prime minister can restrain her words and deeds, if she commits it in my hands next time, it will not be like this time."

Du Shoucheng made a way. "The second prince is magnanimous, Weichen remembers it, and please rest assured that Weichen will restrain the little girl's words and deeds more, and never let her make today's mistakes again."

"Good." Bai Ye was very satisfied with Du Shoucheng's attitude. "Since everything that should be said has been said, this prince has to go to Miaoshengyuan to get the jewelry customized for the future second princess, so I will leave first."

After Bai Ye left, Du Mengyao still knelt on the ground and didn't dare to get up.

"Humph!" Du Jinyin threw away his sleeves, his face was ugly.

Du Shoucheng sat down in the main seat and looked at Du Mengyao in the hall. "The second prince doesn't punish you because he can use this matter to make our Prime Minister's Mansion inherit his feelings, but if I don't punish you, who knows what kind of trouble your temperament will cause to the Prime Minister's Mansion! From today onwards, you will kneel in the ancestral hall for two hours every day for a month! ”

……

……

In the middle of the night that day, Gu Yanran woke up within the expected time frame.

For several days, she would take a certain amount of medicine in the early morning, and in the early hours of the morning she would wake up as the effects of the medicine had dissipated.

The lethargy of the day is sufficient to cope with the inquiries of the light and the dark.

Waking up at night gives her more time and energy to think about how to solve some of the cruxes she encounters in her daily life, such as...... Nangong Xuanyi.

Everything about Nangong Xuanyi, a man, is the crux of the problem that needs to be solved for her.

Since Nangong Xuanyi left here that night, he went to Fengping County to deal with the matter.

She didn't keep him, and she didn't want to keep him, because even if she asked to keep him, he wouldn't want to stay.

The things that should be dealt with by him still have to be handled by him personally.

"I just hope that my day and night will end as soon as possible." Gu Yanran's gaze touched the perilla lying on the recliner not far away. "You will not have to suffer this sin again."

It is said that Gu Qiqiao was ordered to sleep in the acupoint that night, and after the acupoint was automatically unlocked, it was simply ...... I want to hit someone.

When Gu Qiqiao shared this feeling with Zisu, Zisu chose a more comfortable chaise longue as a temporary resting place for the vigil.

Zi Su did not have any sequelae after sleeping in the chaise longue all night, and Gu Qiqiao no longer wronged himself when he kept vigil, and also slept in the chaise longue.

Tonight, it's the turn of the perilla vigil again.

Gu Yanran went to the side of the chaise longue lightly, and stabbed Zisu's sleeping hole with the silver needle in her hand.

"I'm sorry, Shiso." Gu Yanran took back the silver needle, and then tucked the back corner of Zisu. "In the future, I will definitely compensate you and Qiqiao well."

In the past few days, the first thing Gu Yanran did after waking up in the middle of the night was to use a silver needle to make the night watchman fall into a deep sleep.

In fact, Gu Yanran didn't want to do this kind of bad thing, but she couldn't lie on the bed all night without moving, so she had to learn from Nangong Xuanyi's trick of sleeping in the acupoint that night.

I have to say, this trick is quite useful.

Just when Gu Yanran was standing in front of Zi Su and was distracted, a black shadow flashing outside the wooden window not far away crashed into her afterglow.

Gu Yanran approached the position of the wooden window, poked her head out, and found a slender figure standing at the corner.

"Nether." Gu Yanran called.

Night Nether looked at Gu Yanran. "Come out and talk?"

"Okay." Gu Yanran stepped on the stool as she spoke, intending to climb out of the window.

Ye Youyin was helpless, so he had to step forward and stabilize Gu Yanran. "You can go through the front door."

"It's also a unique experience to take an unusual path by chance." Gu Yanran jumped off the ground with her strength, and then laughed at the night ghost again. "I knew I couldn't hide it from you, but you came a little later than I expected."

"There's a lot going on." Nightshade of the Night.

"You've been away from the Imperial City for a few months, and there should be a lot of backlog of affairs to deal with." Gu Yanran walked to the bench under the porch and sat down, and beckoned to the Night Nether. "Sit down, you can't stand and talk all the time."

The Night Netherworld sat down as he was told. “……”

Gu Yanran looked at the night at this time, and suddenly said with a smile. "You said you came to talk to me, but you didn't hear a few words from you, do you want me to talk about myself?"

"It's not." Night Nether immediately denied it. "It's just that I've been hearing rumors about you these days and want to come and see you."

Gu Yanran didn't have to guess to know the content of the rumors. "It's hard to imagine how far these rumors will go."

Night Nether paused and asked. "Are you complaining about the second prince?"

"It doesn't seem like I've been hiding this from you." Gu Yanran felt more and more admiration for the ability of the Netherworld.

Night Nether. “……”

"To tell you the truth, I do blame him." Gu Yanran leaned back on the bench, her eyes glowing with a faint light. "He says he trusts me, but everything he does shows me that he doesn't trust me at all, he says he will inform me of everything, but he always hides some things from me, and even doesn't care about my feelings for these things."

"Probably...... He just doesn't want his own things to bother you. "Night Netherworld tried to make a reasonable explanation for Nangong Xuanyi's words and deeds.

Gu Yanran shook her head. "Maybe for him, it's for my good that he's hiding things, but for me, what I need is for him to be honest, for his wholehearted trust, and for him to be able to discuss everything with me."
