As soon as he heard this familiar cold voice, Lu Yao suddenly stiffened, and slowly turned around almost mechanically.

She pulled the corners of her mouth in embarrassment and said, "Ouch, isn't this His Royal Highness the Prince?" What a coincidence. ”

"yes, that's a coincidence." Gu Ziyan smiled meaninglessly, and slowly paced, "What is the princess worried about?" Seeing that you and Concubine Jing were talking, she kept sighing. ”

Lu Yao's heart was sudden, and she didn't know how long this prince had been standing here, she had just told Shangguan Yu about Gu Congyuan's identity, and she didn't know if this person had heard it.

She bit her lip fiercely and cursed, "I'm really stupid, why did I forget that the wall has ears?" ”

However, looking at the prince's slightly probing and confused eyes, he should not have known about this matter, Lu Yao quietly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's nothing, it's just that the weather is too hot." ”

"Then you might as well go into the gazebo and talk slowly, although it is in the shade of the trees, it is still too hot, and I will be tired after a while." Gu Ziyan pointed to the small pavilion not far away.

The prince is surrounded by subordinates, seven or eight maids and little eunuchs, even if Lu Yao gets along with him alone, he will not be criticized.

Her eyes flickered slightly, and she bowed her head and said, "Okay." ”

However, Lu Yao didn't forget that in the Heart Cultivation Hall just now, Gu Ziyan was intent on making things difficult for Gu Congyuan, originally thought that the war between women was full of gunsmoke, and it turned out that men were the same, but the way of expression was different.

The prince's disgust was expressed too bluntly, and it was no wonder that the emperor would openly reprimand him.

When he arrived at the pavilion, Gu Ziyan ordered someone to bring refreshments, and said: "Alas, I was in the Yangxin Palace, and I heard what the second brother and you saw and heard when they went to Jiangnan, and the palace was very envious. ”

At this time, Gu Ziyan would say good things again, and Lu Yao always felt that he couldn't see through this person's mask, so he smiled casually, drank a cup of tea, and said, "It's okay, no matter how big it is, it will make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worry about it." ”

The prince's hand holding the teacup paused slightly.

Lu Yao sighed, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, the ink in my stomach is getting less and less, and the words are inappropriate, and the words are inappropriate." ”

Seeing that people apologized one after another, Gu Ziyan didn't continue to "calculate", but just smiled: "I heard the second brother say that you encountered a lot of strange things when you went to southern Xinjiang, I don't know if you can also make the palace have a good time?" ”

Lu Yao smiled and said: "There are many strange things, and the most rare thing is probably that the ninth princess is a soft and weak little girl, who is not afraid of poisonous insects in southern Xinjiang." ”

Gu Ziyan's eyebrows jumped: "Ninth Princess? ”

At the same time, Gu Congyuan in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart described the affairs of Southern Xinjiang to the emperor in a few words, and the person had a long aftertaste and frequently praised.

However, when Gu Ji came back from the vigor of the year, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, looked at him, and asked, "By the way, where is Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess now?" ”

Gu Cong didn't expect him to ask a question, and he couldn't help but shudder in his heart, and he was speechless for a while.

It is clear that he was studious and smart just now, and he can barely transform from taciturn to skillful, but the kidnapping of Gu Yunyue was originally a hurdle in his heart, and he didn't know where to start, not to mention that the matter was big, and Akagi Sakurako was involved in a bunch of bad things about cheating marriage......

"Xiao Jiu, she ......" Gu Congyuan's forehead suddenly fell a drop of sweat, and he was so nervous that he couldn't speak.

This is not like the style of His Royal Highness King Cong, Gu Ji couldn't help but squint his eyes in confusion, with a deep sense of exploration in his eyes.

"King Cong, I'm asking you," his tone sank slightly, slightly displeased, "Where is the Ninth Princess now, answer me!" ”

Gu Congyuan's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and the hand on his knee was clenched into a fist, and fine sweat oozed from his palm.

He opened his mouth, but he really couldn't tell the emperor about it.

If he said it, he would be bullying the king, and he couldn't rescue Gu Yunyue immediately, who knows what that madman Akagi Xinyang would do?

Moreover, even if he casually told the emperor a lie, saying that Xiao Jiu was staying at the observation deck, this is also very unreasonable, a girl who has not yet left the cabinet, not to mention that she is still a daughter, lives with a man in such an unclear way, doesn't it make the world laugh at it?

Gu Congyuan must not let Gu Yunyue be besieged by the mouth of the world.

All of a sudden, it was a dilemma.

The emperor pressed him one after another, but Gu Congyuan really had no choice, and when he almost said this matter, he suddenly heard someone next to him: "Your Majesty, you have forgotten." ”

Gu Ji was stunned for a moment: "Oh? ”

Gu Congyuan looked up, but it was Gonggong Li who stepped forward, with a friendly smile on his face, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, didn't the Ninth Princess tell you when she returned to Beijing?" She was invited to play at the observation deck with Princess Sakurako. ”

The emperor's originally tightly frowning brows gradually relaxed, and he suddenly realized, "...... Yes, yes, there's such a thing, look at my memory! ”

Gu Congyuan's tense back was wet, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Naturally, these words were not from Gu Yunyue herself, they must have been done by Akagi Xinyang.

I can't imagine that the prince of Dongying is so thoughtful in dealing with people, even if he is despicable and shameless, but he is indeed bold and courageous, and he dares to make an axe in front of the emperor and hide from the world.

Gu Congyuan felt even more crisis, his eyes dimmed for a moment, and he thought, "Akagi Xinyang must die." ”

In the imperial garden, Gu Ziyan listened to Lu Yao's description, his face was full of disgust, and a piece of osmanthus cake that he was holding was about to be sent to his mouth, but after listening to the ninth princess holding the shiny poisonous insect in his hand and eating it, his stomach was overturned, and he almost vomited out the things he ate a few days ago.

Lu Yao burst out laughing, and quickly covered his mouth again, returning to a serious appearance.

Unexpectedly, His Royal Highness the Prince, who was not afraid of the ground that day, turned out to be a weak man who was afraid of insects, and Lu Yao laughed at this person thousands of times in his heart.

It can be regarded as reluctantly reluctantly relieving his revenge for mocking Gu Congyuan.

Gu Ziyan's face was a little pale, and he easily removed the picture of eating insects from his mind, and said, "Princess Cong...... During this time, I didn't meet any strange people in southern Xinjiang? ”

Maybe it was because the previous "beggar version of Gu Congyuan" hit Lu Yao too hard, she reacted very keenly, even if she wanted to jump up, she saw that there were too many people around, so she barely suppressed her panic and impatience.

"Ahem......" she frowned, "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" Isn't there any rumors in the capital that make you care so much? ”

Gu Ziyan was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "It's not, why is Princess Cong so-for-tat, it really scares me." ”

"His Royal Highness the Prince." Her willow eyebrows furrowed slightly, looking a little unhappy, and said bluntly, "From the very beginning, you have been secretive, saying that you want to know some things about southern Xinjiang, but in fact, you have been knocking on me all the time, and you have something to say...... You might as well just say, 'Why tempt me like this?' ”

This Lu Yao's speech was inevitably too rough and straightforward, and His Royal Highness the Prince, who had always been exquisite, felt a little unbearable, but he still forcibly maintained his demeanor.

He quietly glanced at the subordinates around him, and the subordinates were immediately silent, and quickly retreated to the outside of the pavilion, all with their backs to them.

Seeing his posture, Lu Yao couldn't help but sneer: "It's just covering your ears and stealing the bell." ”

"Ben doesn't have anything to say." Gu Ziyan said softly, "It's just that I'm worried that the people who are in the pavilion will stain Princess Cong's eyes." ”

This person is accustomed to showing people this false and aggrieved appearance, Lu Yao quietly rolled his eyes, and said: "I don't have such a precious price, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really has a heart, if you have something to say, I will visit Concubine Xiao's palace in a while." ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that there are a lot of things that I can't figure out when I come in this palace......" Gu Ziyan said without falling.

Lu Yao insisted on hearing three points of ill intentions, and raised his eyebrows: "What does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince mean by this?" ”

"I don't know if the princess has heard of my second brother before." Gu Ziyan seemed to be talking about homely things, but there was always a bit of yin and yang in his tone.

Lu Yao was confused when he heard this, and asked: "His Royal Highness King Cong is sixteen years old and famous in the capital, I have naturally heard of it, why do you ask that?" ”

"No, no, no." The prince hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm talking about before the age of sixteen. ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yao couldn't help but be stunned, she found that the prince was knocking on the side and knocking on her.

Could it be that Gu Ziyan has already discovered any clues?

Lu Yao thought about it carefully, Gu Congyuan when she was a child, she seemed to really know nothing, and she couldn't help but feel a little anxious in her heart, and said, "I'...... Don't know what? ”

Her confused expression happened to fall into the arms of His Royal Highness the Prince, Gu Ziyan hooked the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "How?" I haven't even heard a thing or two about my husband's childhood, and you still ask how about this palace? ”

Lu Yao said strangely: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what do you mean?" ”

"Actually, it's not interesting, it's just...... I want to persuade Princess Cong to know more about your husband, so as not to live this life in a daze. He smiled.

Lu Yao had a bad premonition in his heart, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in this Gu Ziyan gourd.

"Do you know which pastries my second brother liked to eat the most when he was a child? Do you know who his childhood playmate was? Gu Ziyan asked one after another, "Do you know what kind of character he was when he was a child?" ”

Gu Congyuan is Lu Yao's weakness, originally she didn't have much to fear, but Gu Ziyan's repeated questioning made her a little confused, and said anxiously: "My husband, I naturally know best!" ”
