Chapter 590
"I see." When Kageha Hou heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I just almost believed the words of that rebel, and then turned around and doubted you, it's really confused!" β
When Gu Ruoxi heard this, his eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Dad, the eldest brother is indeed misleading you when he says that, but since I found out about this fact, when they calculated me, I didn't choose to suffer silently, but fought back." β
Kageba was stunned when he waited for the boarding. Gu Ruoxi explained: "When I thought they were my closest relatives, no matter what they did, I wouldn't care, but when I knew all this, I naturally couldn't bear it anymore, Dad, you won't blame me, right?" β
Hearing this, Jinye Hou looked at Gu Ruoxi for a long time, and his expression gradually softened: "You are absolutely right, you don't have to endure other people's calculations all the time without fighting back, how can I blame you?" As he spoke, he paused, and said with some emotion: "In the past, I always thought that you were still young and needed me to protect you, but I didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, you were already so old, not only could you protect yourself, but also knew how to fight back, Daddy was very pleased." β
"Alright, Dad, don't praise me anymore." Gu Ruoxi smiled: "Go back and prepare!" There's a lot going on! β
After her reminder, Jinye Hou immediately came to his senses, and nodded hurriedly: "Not bad!" You will get married the day after tomorrow, and there will be many things to do in these two days! The first task is to send the dowry to King Jing's mansion as soon as possible, Dad has prepared so much dowry for you, and King Jing's dowry, it will take at least a whole day to send them over, Dad will check it well, and then leave first, you go back slowly! β
"Got it, Dad." Gu Ruoxi replied with a smile.
Jin Yehou nodded at her, then turned around and walked towards Aunt Xu.
Gu Ruoxi looked at the back of Jinye Hou fixedly, and then turned around and went back to Zhiyu Courtyard.

Imperial Palace, Cining Palace.
As soon as Xuanyuan Jingxi returned here, he told the Queen Mother about the things that Jinye Hou had discussed with him.
"It's okay, although it's a little hasty, but as long as you can get married on time, the queen mother doesn't care about anything." The Queen Mother nodded, beckoned to Xuanyuan Jingxi, and said with some distress: "Are you crazy?" If you travel so quickly, you will scare the queen mother out of her illness! Is there anything wrong with the body? Would you like to take a good rest? β
"Queen Mother, I'm fine." Xuanyuan Jingxi glanced at the Queen Mother with a smile, and said in a deep voice: "My son eats well, since you have no opinion, then my son will notify the Internal Affairs Office, hurry up and prepare, and the day after tomorrow will be the day of my son's wedding." β
"Good, good!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she smiled and said, "It's all up to you!" As she spoke, a worried look slowly appeared on her face: "Jing'er, although you will soon get married, the emperor's covetousness for Xi'er may not be so easy to eliminate." β
"Queen Mother, you don't have to worry about this, after getting married, I will guard her well, and I won't let the emperor have a chance." When Xuanyuan Jingxi heard this, he said in a deep voice: "If I want to go out on office work, then take her to live in the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace, I don't believe it, the emperor's hand can still reach here!" β
"It's not a way to prevent it like this!" The Queen Mother's tone was still full of worry: "After a long time, the emperor will be more jealous of our mother and son, and the queen mother is not worried about what he dares to do to me." After all, he is the emperor, and everyone in the world is looking at him! I'm afraid, if one day, I leave, when the time comes, the emperor will definitely not let you and Xi'er go! β
"Queen Mother, take one step at a time! It's been too long since you think about that! Hearing this, Xuanyuan Jingxi stretched out his hand to support the Queen Mother's shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Moreover, the Queen Mother, you will definitely live a long life!" β
"If the queen mother really lives to be a hundred years old, won't she be an old monster?" When the Queen Mother heard this, she was happy in her heart, but she couldn't help but smile and sneer at her son.
Xuanyuan Jingxi shook his head and said, "No! You definitely won't be an old youkai. Saying that, he pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and said: "Also, Queen Mother, during this time, you should persuade the emperor to admit more beauties into the palace. β
"This method is good!" When the Queen Mother heard this, she immediately nodded and praised: "Moreover, the emperor has no way to refuse." As she spoke, she raised her eyes and glanced at Xuanyuan Jingxi, and said with a smile: "Then it's decided." β
"Thank you, Queen Mother!" Xuanyuan Jingxi hurriedly said.
The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "You and my mother and son, do you still need to say thank you?" β

The Crown Princess's Bedroom.
Gu Yuetong sat on the chaise longue she was accustomed to, her eyes fixed on a tree of begonia flowers outside the window, her eyes were a little hollow. Brother of Tu Damu.
Ruyi has been secretly executed, and now serving by her side is a little palace maid named Tang'er, because she behaves in a manner, and even looks a little like Ruyi, so she was specially promoted by Gu Yuetong.
At this moment, Tang'er was cautiously serving aside, seeing that Gu Yuetong had maintained this action for a long time, but she didn't dare to open her mouth to persuade her.
Sister Ruyi, who was once so favored, just followed the princess back to the Hou Mansion and disappeared inexplicably, how dare she speak casually in front of Gu Yuetong?
At this moment, Gu Yuetong glanced back at Tang'er and asked in a low voice, "There is a noise outside, you go out and have a look." β
"Yes, sissy." Tang'er responded in a low voice, and immediately turned around and retreated.
Gu Yuetong sighed on the chaise longitude: "It's already the second day back!" β
On this day, she didn't send someone to send a message to Prince Lian Xuanyuan Shu, and Xuanyuan Shu didn't send a message over, he seemed to know something, he hadn't entered the palace for the past few days, and he didn't even forget about inviting Ye to Concubine Shu
Remembered.
Perhaps, he thought that he had rejoined the arms of the crown prince, right? But is she that kind of person?
Gu Yuetong was a little complaining in her heart, and she was also a little sad, Xuanyuan Shu had never snubbed her so much, and today she was suddenly like this, how could she accept it?
But fortunately, after the prince took her back to the palace yesterday, she hurriedly went to Concubine Li's bedroom, and the palace people reported that it was because Concubine Li had a fetal gas, and of course the prince couldn't care about such a big thing, but Gu Yuetong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
If the crown prince really rests in her bedroom, then she really doesn't know what to do!
All day today, Gu Yuetong was a little distracted, she sat in the dormitory and didn't go anywhere, just in a daze, and even ate very little food.
Soon, Tang'er hurriedly returned from outside, and reported in a low voice: "Back to the crown princess, today is the day when the Internal Affairs Office re-inventories and assigns personnel to the palaces, and the noise outside is because Concubine Li and Concubine Lin are fighting for a little eunuch, and they both want that little eunuch, so they ......."
"Now, even eunuchs are popular?" When Gu Yuetong heard this, she seemed to have heard some great joke, and she laughed lowly.
Tang'er glanced at her and reported in a low voice: "Niangniang! I heard that the chief eunuch's lips are red and white, and he is very good-looking......"
When Gu Yuetong heard this, her expression moved, and she immediately asked, "Then what is his name?" β
"Back to the mother's words, the slave maid inquired, that little eunuch is named Zheng Ran." Tang'er reported in a low voice. Her mind was as delicate as wishful.
"Zheng Ran?" When Gu Yuetong heard this, she was greatly taken aback, and then she suddenly remembered something.
This Zheng Ran is her eldest brother Gu Xiaoye's right-hand man, when she was not married to the prince, Zheng Ran drove her out of the house in a carriage in the middle of the night, but I didn't expect that now this Zheng Ran has actually entered the palace, and he is still a eunuch!
Could this be the eldest brother who learned that Ruyi was dead and was sent to spy on her? No! She couldn't let him appear by her side, let alone let him know about her affairs with Prince Lian......
Thinking about it, Gu Yuetong said expressionlessly: "Who is this Zheng Ran?" That's it, it's not a big deal, they love to fight, let them fight! Tell us not to join in the fun! β
"Yes! Empress! Slave obeys! Tang'er replied in a low voice, bent down and retreated.
Gu Yuetong glanced at her fixedly, her expression was in a trance, but she seemed to see Ruyi. She couldn't help but sigh deeply.
If Ruyi knew how to be flexible, she wouldn't be willing to kill her at all!
Thinking about it, Gu Yuetong involuntarily reached out and stroked her lower abdomen. He fell on the couch and slowly closed his eyes.
I'm tired!
Until the beginning of the lanterns, Gu Yue
Tong woke up, opened his eyes, and saw that he was covered with a thin blanket, and the weather was hot at noon, but it was still cool in the afternoon. "! Do you wake up and need dinner? The slave and maid went and ordered them to prepare. Tang'er bent down and whispered.
Gu Yuetong really felt hungry, and when she heard this, she immediately nodded and said, "Okay, you go and tell them to prepare dinner." β
"Yes. Empress. Tang'er went out and gave an order, then came in and personally helped Gu Ruoxi fix her sideburns, and personally held the spittoon to serve her to rinse her mouth, and then helped her to sit down at the dining table in the side hall.
For a long time, there has always been only one palace maid who can serve Gu Yuetong closely.
When the palace people came in and filled the table with dishes in batches, Tang'er was about to prepare food for Gu Yuetong, but at this moment, the eunuch's loud singing voice sounded outside: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has arrivedββ"
Gu Yuetong's face sank, and her original good mood was immediately gone.
Tang'er glanced at her master's uncertain face, but she involuntarily lowered her head and didn't dare to look at it again.
It's horrible! How did she discover such a big secret from her master? People who know too much will always inevitably die, such as Ruyi......
But what Tang'er didn't see was. The next moment, Gu Yuetong's face returned to its original state, the corners of her lips were hooked, and she even showed a sweet smile.
When Xuanyuan Yan strode in from outside the door, what he saw was Gu Yuetong's smiling face, and his heart melted into this tenderness.
"See His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for concubines." Gu Yuetong got up and curtsied.
"Excuse me!" Xuanyuan Yan walked over and saw a table full of dishes. But he smiled lightly and said, "Tong'er, haven't you eaten yet?" β
"Yes, His Highness the Prince." Gu Yuetong got up and smiled.
Xuanyuan Yan glanced at her. nodded and said, "Then sit down and use a little with His Highness!" So saying, he sat down.
"Yes, Your Highness." The smile on Gu Yuetong's face remained unchanged, and she slowly walked over and sat down at the table.
Xuanyuan Yan said to Tang'er on the side: "You step back first!" It's enough to have this palace here, and if you need anything, this palace will call someone in person. β
"Yes, Your Highness." Tang'er first glanced up at Gu Yuetong, and saw that she had no objection, so she responded in a low voice, turned around and retreated.
Xuanyuan Yan took matters into her own hands and filled Gu Yuetong with some of her favorite fish and meat, and also pulled out the thorns. handed it to her bowl and said: "When I came back from the palace today, I saw a bloodied little eunuch who was beaten, he must have just entered the palace, guess who he is?" β
When Gu Yuetong heard this, she was full of excitement, and she hurriedly smiled and asked, "Who is it?" β
"It's Zheng Ran!" Xuanyuan Yan said with interest: "That's your eldest brother's right-hand man, I don't know how to enter the palace, but I didn't expect to be killed."
Concubine Li and Concubine Lin were tortured like that, when the palace learned of all this, they reprimanded them fiercely and punished them for being grounded for half a month, fortunately, Zheng Ran was only injured, but his life was fine, and I had already brought it. It's just outside. β
"Your Highness, Your Highness, that Zheng Ran, is it really my eldest brother's cronies? You read that right? When Gu Yuetong heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched, but she asked with a forced smile.
"Of course! When I went to the Hou Mansion before, I saw him several times, and I couldn't be wrong! Xuanyuan Yan said firmly, said, stretched out his chopsticks and took a little fish, and said to Gu Yuetong with a smile: "Okay, don't ask so much, eat more!" Look at your skinny one. β
"Thank you, Your Highness." Gu Yuetong stretched out her chopsticks and grabbed a piece of fish meat that Xuanyuan Yan had personally pulled out of the thorns, and put it in her mouth, but she couldn't swallow it.
She didn't want Zheng Ran to enter her bedroom, so she chose to ignore it, but she didn't expect that he would still come here with the prince! Is this providential? Still is......
Gu Yuetong didn't dare to imagine it.
At this moment, Xuanyuan Yan smiled and asked, "What are you thinking?" But how to worry about Zheng Ran? You don't have to worry about this, this palace will take care of everything for you, you just have to leave people behind, this Zheng Ran, since he is your eldest brother's person, then he must treat you sincerely. β
"I hope it's just as Your Highness says!" Gu Yuetong smiled reluctantly, but she had already calculated in her heart, how to kill Zheng Ran unconsciously. Zheng Ran's thoughts about her, she didn't know at all.
Xuanyuan Yan smiled slightly, put down his chopsticks and said, "Tong'er, this palace is resting with you tonight." β
When Gu Yuetong heard this, her heart jumped violently, but she barely maintained a smiling face and asked, "Your Highness, Your Highness, why is this?" Aren't you going to accompany Concubine Li? She's been a long month......"
"Nope! Hongu wants to accompany you! Xuanyuan Yan reached out and grabbed Gu Yuetong's hand, and said affectionately in her ear: "In the past, I snubbed you, I am here to say sorry to you, in the future, I will come over to accompany you when I am free, don't worry!" β
It's no wonder that you can rest assured!
The corners of Gu Yuetong's mouth twitched fiercely, if the prince came every day, would she still need to live? How is she going to face Xuanyuan Shu?
Absolutely not!
"Your Highness, Your Highness, I've been uncomfortable for the past two days, you, why don't you wait and come back......" Gu Yuetong squeezed her brain into thinking about the wording of the refusal, how to refuse elegantly, and not make the prince angry, this is really difficult to do!
"You're menstruating?" When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he couldn't help but look Gu Yuetong up and down several times in confusion, and said in a deep voice: "But I remember, your days are not these days......
When Gu Yuetong heard this, her face was flushed, she glared at Xuanyuan Yan fiercely, and said angrily: "That's His Highness's mistake!" The tone was a bit of a gritted tone.
"Nope! I remember this very well! "Xuanyuan Yan slashed the nail
Intercepting the railway: "When I was in the Hou Mansion, the palace asked Ruyi...... By the way, why isn't that girl here? She didn't follow you back to the palace? β
Wishful!
She is still dead and can still dismantle her stage like this!
When Gu Yuetong heard this, she almost gritted her silver teeth with hatred in her heart, but she pretended to have a smile on her face: "Yes! She is old, and it is time for her to go out of the palace to find someone to live her life well, and the concubine doesn't want her to wait until she is twenty-five years old to leave the palace, please forgive me......"
"It's not a big deal, how can this palace blame you?" When Xuanyuan Yan heard this, he immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry! Bengong just asked casually, since you are out of the palace, forget it, as long as there is no shortage of people around you to serve. β
"That's what Your Highness said." Gu Yuetong smiled reluctantly and said.
Xuanyuan Yan glanced at her, lowered his voice and said, "Then, won't this palace leave tonight?" β
Gu Yuetong's heart was beating wildly, and she was about to burst out of her mouth without saying a word, and she reluctantly smiled when she heard the words: "Your Highness, it's still not necessary, right?" Concubines, concubines......"
"What's wrong with you?" Xuanyuan Yan saw her rejecting herself repeatedly, and her face couldn't help but be annoyed.
Gu Yuetong glanced at him and said in a low voice: "After all, His Royal Highness has snubbed the concubine for so long, and the concubine has already died, and the concubine is not ......ready for such a sudden request."
"I see." Xuanyuan Yan heard this, and said in a soft tone: "Don't worry! This palace will not force you to do what you do not want to do, this palace will wait until you are willing. It's good to sleep with you in my arms tonight, and definitely don't do anything. β
"Yes, yes?" Gu Yuetong felt a little flustered in her heart, but looking at Xuanyuan Yan's face, she felt a little disgusted in her heart.
In the past, she longed for him so much, but he just didn't come, and now she doesn't love him anymore, but he is chasing after him step by step, why is this?
