Chapter 19: Back to the Black Cauldron
After dealing with Lan Qisheng's injuries, Gu Yunan fell asleep directly on the edge of the bed, she was too tired.
The house was quiet all night, Lan Qisheng woke up in the morning, he had a vague impression of last night's events, glanced at Gu Yun'an, who was sleeping by the bed, did not alarm her, and left directly.
What Lan Qisheng didn't know was that since he left, there had been chaos in the Three Kings' Mansion.
I don't know who is sharp-eyed, and I found that the prince came out of the princess's courtyard this morning, and everyone in the house knew about it.
"Great, Princess, now we finally don't have to be treated coldly by those snob-eyed minions." Bamboo heart is also babbling.
"But when did the prince come over last night, why didn't the slave and maid notice it?" Zhu Xin thought with a puzzled frown.
Gu Yunan smiled faintly, and was also a little helpless, isn't it that Lan Qisheng has come once, are these people so exaggerated?
"You were asleep when he came, how do you know?" Gu Yunan knocked her forehead.
"The slave will pay attention next time." Zhu Xin actually knew that Gu Yunan didn't blame her, but she still felt a little guilty, she didn't know that such a big person entered her princess's house.
Lan Qisheng didn't come in openly, how could Gu Yunan blame him?
On the other side, the news that Lan Qisheng was staying overnight here with Gu Yun'an naturally reached the ears of Old Concubine Lan.
Old Concubine Lan's expression was a little subtle, but she didn't see that this Gu Yunan was so powerful: "Go and ask the prince to come over." ”
A woman like Gu Yun'an, if it weren't for the Holy Decree, how could she be worthy of her son?
"Back to the concubine, the prince is still in the early court, maybe this matter is just a rumor......" The maid on the side shook the fan in her hand lightly and reminded carefully.
"Whether it's rumors or the truth, after Sheng'er goes down to the morning court, I have my own decision." Old Concubine Lan's heart has always been biased towards Sun Gongya, even if Gu Yunan is already a concubine now, she can't change her thoughts.
It's a big deal to grab her handle and let Lan Qisheng take her off, or demote her to a side concubine.
So, as soon as Lan Qisheng returned home, he was called over by the people around Old Concubine Lan.
"Mother, are you looking for me?" Lan Qisheng was on official business, and he seemed a little in a hurry.
Old Concubine Lan smiled: "It's not a big deal, it's just that I heard that you spoiled the princess last night, and I want to remind you of a few words." ”
When Lan Qisheng heard this, a trace of complicated emotions flashed in his eyes: "Mother, the princess is the concubine of the son-in-law, and the son-in-law is free and measured." ”
Hearing Lan Qisheng say this, Old Concubine Lan didn't know how to speak, I hope he really knew it.
"Sheng'er, ......" Old Concubine Lan seemed to want to make some sighs, so she was about to step forward and pat the back of Lan Qisheng's hand, but Lan Qisheng dodged without a trace.
Seeing this, Old Concubine Lan was a little suspicious in her heart, Lan Qisheng would never do this in the past.
Old Concubine Lan smiled kindly: "Okay, since you don't want to say it, I won't ask more." It's just that there is only one princess Gu Yunan in this mansion, and you ...... in the backyard."
"The mother doesn't need to worry about this." Lan Qisheng didn't want to bring up this topic, and continued: "If it's okay, the child will go back to the study first." ”
At this time, his cuffs couldn't help but be slightly blown away by the wind, and the old lady Lan glanced at it quietly, and her eyelids jumped.
In order not to let Lan Qisheng find out the clues, he quickly endured it.
Just after Lan Qisheng left the house, Old Concubine Lan's face suddenly fell, and she said coldly: "Go, call the princess over to me." ”
If she was not mistaken, there was a scar on the back of her son's hand.
In this way, Lan Qisheng's dodge from her was also clear.
Yesterday, she saw that Lan Qisheng was still fine, why did she stay in Gu Yun'an's house all night, and she had such a wound on her body.
Gu Yunan received a summons from Old Lady Lan, and was a little puzzled, since the last incident, she has never provoked Old Lady Lan again, the two of them have always been well water and do not violate river water, why did they suddenly find her today?
As soon as Gu Yunan came to the old lady Lan's house, the subordinates hurriedly retreated, and only the old lady Lan and the most powerful grandmother beside her were left in the hall.
As soon as she saw her, the grandmother beside the old lady Lan scolded coldly: "Be bold, don't kneel down yet!" ”
Gu Yun'an stood in an orderly manner, looked directly at her grandmother, and asked, "Does this princess remember that the rules of the palace allow a subordinate to yell at the master!" ”
"You dare to be sharp-tongued, you should explain to this palace, Sheng'er entered your room well, why did she get injured when she came out?" Old Concubine Lan's voice revealed anger, "Is this what you should do as a princess?" ”
Gu Yunan couldn't help sneering in her heart, if she knew that this was the case, she might as well ignore Lan Qisheng last night, and it would be better to be widowed than to splash dirty water on herself.
Gu Yunan didn't speak, she couldn't directly say that Lan Qisheng was injured herself, Old Concubine Lan wouldn't believe it, if she said it, wouldn't Lan Qisheng want to kill her alive after she found out?
In this palace, whether it is a punishment or a reward, it is not a matter of their words, and this time, she also let herself remember the lesson of this time, and take care of Lan Qisheng's affairs in the future.
However, Old Concubine Lan is not stupid, she will not make a big deal about this matter, after all, it is only the back of the prince's hand that is injured, if the punishment for Gu Yunan is heavy, will the reputation of the Three Princes Mansion be spread?
However, it is still okay to be grounded, and Old Concubine Lan used this reason to grounding Gu Yunan, and she didn't even say the duration of the grounding.
Gu Yunan didn't care, Lan Qisheng's study couldn't stop her, let alone a mere grounding?
"Princess......" When Gu Yunan went back, Zhu Xin was still waiting at the door, looking at her with some concern, there was news from Ning'an Courtyard, Zhu Xin already knew about the elimination of her princess's grounding.
"Silly girl, don't cry, I'm not fine, it's just that I'm grounded, and it's not a big deal." Having said that, Gu Yun'an still felt a little unfair in his heart, was he carrying the black pot for Lan Qisheng?
After Lan Qisheng learned that Gu Yunan was punished, he thought that this matter was implicated by him, and he felt guilty, but when he arrived in Gu Yunan's courtyard, he was treated coldly.
"Why is the prince here?" In Gu Yunan's words, there was an indescribable alienation.
"Thank you very much this time." Lan Qisheng's face was still a little pale, and his tone was very awkward, after all, this was the first time he had thanked humanity.
"How can I be so virtuous, can I make the prince value it so much, I am tired, I want to sleep, if there is nothing else, the prince please take care of himself."
Lan Qisheng saw that he was rejected by her, he was slightly stunned, did not speak, and turned around and left silently.
In his perception of women, he thought that Gu Yunan would make a fuss, and then take this opportunity to make a good request, but she didn't, she just said a few words to him with a particularly indifferent look.
Gu Yunan's indisputable appearance made Lan Qisheng's opinion of her change a little.
She seems to be a little different from the woman she knows.
