Chapter 169: The Dust Has Settled

"You were so sick that you could barely get out of bed." Gu Yanbai recalled for him.

All this, he saw it when he was young and young.

At Concubine Zhou's birthday banquet, the eldest princess secretly promised the personable Zhou Tingfang, and was determined to let the emperor marry her to Zhou Ting.

The emperor didn't look down on Zhou Ting, whose father was only a six-grade official at that time, so he didn't agree to this marriage, the eldest princess dressed up as a man, and sneaked to Zhou Ting's morning class. Zhou Ting waited all night, and on the second day he suffered from a severe wind chill, the eldest princess got the letter, wanted to go out to visit but was grounded, so she asked the queen to bring the emperor to her palace, and after several confessions, the emperor was slightly relieved.

After being lifted from the ground, the princess hurriedly took the imperial doctor in the palace to see the bedridden Zhou Ting and snatched it from Lord Yama.

The two solved the misunderstanding of that day, and Zhou Ting studied hard day and night in order to be worthy of the eldest princess, and Chun Yu was admitted to the top three.

Gu Yanbai said in a flat tone without a trace of emotion: "That day, if it weren't for the eldest princess who brought the imperial doctor to help you, I'm afraid you would have already returned to your soul." ”

"You, how do you know?" Zhou Ting's eyes gradually felt guilty, but he still couldn't believe what Gu Yanbai said.

Gu Yanbai didn't say anything to him, but continued: "Just by virtue of this, the eldest princess is your savior, and you shouldn't harm her no matter what." ”

After listening to Gu Yanbai's words, Zhou Ting fell into memories.

Indeed, he was young and vigorous back then, but he also fell in love with the eldest princess.

But now the eldest princess seems to have changed as a person, and he can't understand it at all.

"She's changed." Zhou Ting lowered his head and said in a tone that he didn't even believe.

"You've changed." After Gu Yanbai finished saying this, he heard Zhou Ting shouting at him: "I haven't changed!" It's her who has changed! ”

Gu Yanbai shook his head.

The things between Zhou Ting and the eldest princess were all learned from Xiao Ran, another personal maid of the eldest princess.

As for why he said that Zhou Ting had changed, it was because the eldest princess had inadvertently told him that Zhou Ting needed a better step, and she was just a princess and couldn't help much in her career.

Thinking about it this way, Zhou Ting started planning from a very early stage, the purpose was to be able to step on a higher branch, and Liu Shangshu's daughter became his stepping stone.

He knew that the princess's maid Xiaoyu was the eyeliner sent by Liu Shangshu's family to monitor, so he deliberately seduced her, and found out the situation of Liu Shangshu's family little by little.

It's a pity that he didn't expect it to be a failure.

Gu Yanbai actually knew about it.

"If you do this, you'll kill Mingyue Creek." Zhou Ting looked at Gu Yanbai's back and said with a smile.

Gu Yanbai turned around and glanced at him gloomily, he was just bringing Zhou Ting to justice, how could he have anything to do with Mingyuexi?

Zhou Ting saw Gu Yanbai's somewhat strange appearance, and smiled: "I guess this matter must not be something you can do alone, right?" ”

The implication of his words was that Mingyuexi helped him.

"What does it have to do with you?" Gu Yanbai disdained such a man with a bad heart, and as for Mingyuexi, he would be careful to protect it.

Out of Dali Temple, he went straight to the place where the eldest princess was placed.

When I arrived at the place, I saw Mingyuexi chatting happily with the eldest princess.

Seeing him coming, Mingyuexi hurriedly beckoned her to be a child and poured her a cup of tea.

Gu Yanbai was very strange, he didn't tell where Princess Mingyuexi was, why...

In this way, she may have summoned someone like summoning him, and found the place where the eldest princess is.

With such a mysterious Mingyue Creek, he really couldn't understand it.

Mingyuexi saw that Gu Yanbai had been staring at herself without paying attention, and said unnaturally: "Gu Yanbai, what are you doing standing there stupidly?" Come and sit down. ”

Gu Yanbai pulled himself out of his contemplation, then walked to the chair and sat down and said, "Eldest princess, I'll send you back." ”

"Eldest princess?" Xia Zhiqing was a little stunned when he heard Gu Yanbai call himself like this.

She thought she was the daughter of the minister of the court at most, but she didn't expect it to be the current emperor's own daughter, and this span made her a little unbearable.

"Are you sure you're right?" The eldest princess looked at Gu Yanbai with a skeptical attitude.

Gu Yanbai smiled and nodded, and then pulled Mingyuexi to send the eldest princess back to the palace.

Hearing the news of his daughter's return, the emperor was a little restless, and waited early in the morning on the road to the princess's return.

After seeing the familiar figure, a trace of excited tears flashed in the corners of the emperor's eyes.

He thought he wouldn't see her again in his life.

Xia Zhiqing originally thought that she would be very nervous when she saw the emperor, but she didn't expect that she would be very close to her.

Seeing the slightly tired emperor, she couldn't help but step forward and stroke the gray hair hidden in the middle of his head.

After a few moments, she realized that she was moving a little out of order, and hurriedly took a few steps back.

Seeing her like this, the emperor turned his head to look at Gu Yanbai on the side.

Gu Yanbai said with some guilt: "Back to the emperor, it was because I didn't take good care of me, and I recently learned that the eldest princess had lost her memory. ”

The emperor nodded, but he didn't blame Gu Yanbai: "It's a great achievement for you to find the princess, not to mention that this matter is all Zhou Ting's fault." ”

When Zhou Ting was mentioned, the emperor's eyes became secretive.

On the second day after the princess returned to the throne, Zhou Ting was sentenced to death, and the Zhou family was punished, and the clan relatives within three generations were exiled.

After hearing the news, Mingyuexi couldn't help but smack her tongue, in ancient times, there was a person who obtained the practice of ascending to heaven, but he didn't expect that on the contrary, a person was punished, but he had to take the family with him.

She shook her head, but it was a pity that Zhou Ting's henchman who had just started would be widowed in a few days.

She turned her head to look at Gu Yanbai, who was sitting on the side reading a book: "Liu Shangshu may not be willing to exile his daughter, right?" ”

Gu Yanbai nodded lightly, and said while reading the book: "He is unwilling." After turning the page, he put the book on the table, then looked at Mingyuexi and said, "So as early as the second day of their marriage, Liu Shangshu forced Zhou Ting to write and leave the book. ”

Mingyuexi rubbed her chin: "But in this way, isn't that woman an innocent victim?" ”

Gu Yanbai looked at her with a smile, she was so cute, she was worried that Liu Shangshu's daughter would not be able to get married.
