Chapter 22: Being Reckoned Upon
She was dressed in the characteristic costume of the Northern Xinjiang Kingdom, her hair was covered with green silk casually draped behind her head, only a brilliant gem hung down on her forehead, but her eyes were shining, not hidden by the light of the gem at all.
It is worthy of being the pearl of the king of Northern Xinjiang, and he has a heroic spirit that is not inferior to that of men.
If such a character enters the palace, stealing the unicorn fruit will inevitably cause a lot of trouble.
Just as Gu Wanwan was thinking about how to deal with this Yunluo princess, out of the corner of her eye, she suddenly caught a glimpse of Minghua beside her and secretly glanced at the person behind her.
She was alert, and when she felt a force behind her, she immediately grabbed Minghua and pulled her over, and she took a step back to the side.
"Oops!" Minghua fell to the ground with an exclamation. Behind her was a panicked Ruoxue.
Feng Jiu turned his head when he heard the voice, and when he saw this scene, the aura of his whole body immediately turned cold, and it was not difficult to imagine his gloomy face at the moment through the mask, "What's wrong?" ”
"Lord Wang," Gu Wanwan knelt down first, her voice trembling slightly, looking scared, "Ruoxue accidentally squeezed forward just now, and the Minghua group leader fell down before he could stand firm for a while. ”
Feng Jiu looked at Gu Wanwan as if she was in shock, and her brows furrowed tightly. This woman, how can she make trouble for him all the time!
"Lord, lord, this slut she lies!" Minghua on the ground came back to his senses and stretched out his hand to point at Gu Wanwan, his tone was full of resentment, "It was the concubine she deliberately pushed!" ”
"King You," Harro on the side said idly, "Why is it that early in the morning, such a play is staged in your palace?" ”
Princess Yunluo beside him didn't open her mouth, she just stood firmly, looking like she was watching a good show.
Gu Wanwan explained unhurriedly, "Minghua, you are wrong! I'm standing right next to you, how can I push you from behind? ”
"You, you," Minghua was speechless for a while, and turned his head to look at Feng Jiu, "Lord Wang, don't listen to her quibbles, it's the concubine body she deliberately pushed!" ”
"Why did Awan push you so decently?" Feng Jiu looked at Minghua with no emotion in his eyes.
"Because, because," Minghua glanced at Princess Yunluo standing on the side, and thought about it, "Because of Princess Yunluo!" ”
"Oh? Because I? Yun Luo, who was standing, couldn't help but feel amused when he heard this. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Minghua on the ground, with a hint of chuckle in her voice.
"Yes," Minghua hurriedly said, "It's because of Princess Yunluo!" In the past two days, there have been rumors in the mansion that Princess Yunluo is about to become Princess You, and Ah Wan has been a little wrong since she learned the news. The concubine also heard her and the maid secretly complain that if Princess Yunluo entered the mansion, I am afraid that life in this mansion would be even more difficult. Ruoxue can also testify to this! ”
Ruoxue had just accidentally pushed the wrong person, and she was already very panicked, but now when she heard Minghua's words, she hurriedly nodded desperately, "Yes, yes, the concubine can testify, Awan did say so." ”
"Therefore, Ah Wan deliberately made such a fuss today, so that Princess Yunluo could see the restlessness of the prince's house, so that Princess Yunluo would not want to marry into the palace again!" Ming Hua raised his head proudly and looked at Gu Wanwan with a look like a victor.
Oh, my God! When did this Minghua group master become so difficult! Gu Wanwan cursed hatefully in her heart, but there was a panicked expression on her face, her eyes were shining with water, as if she had been greatly wronged, "No! I really didn't think so, Lord! ”
Feng Jiu looked at Gu Wanwan's pitiful appearance, but he didn't think so, this woman's ability to act was really inferior to him!
"Your name is Awan?" Princess Yunluo suddenly walked over, stood still in front of Gu Wanwan, and looked at her carefully all over her body, "It's a beauty!" ”
Gu Wanwan lowered her head slightly, looking like she didn't dare to look directly at Yun Luo. Damn Minghua! It's not a good thing to be "looked the other way" by the person in front of you!
"Princess Yunluo, this matter is that this king is not strict in governing the family, and this king will deal with it later," Feng Jiu looked at Gu Wanwan's group, and his rough voice was full of anger, "Don't you hurry down!" If there is any incident, let me get out of the palace directly! ”
The group of concubines were already frightened, but after listening to Feng Jiu's words, they hurriedly responded in a low voice, and hurriedly retreated. Seeing that Feng Jiu had no intention of disposing of Gu Wanwan, Minghua secretly hated in his heart, but he could only grit his teeth and retreat.
Gu Wanwan was about to turn around and go down when she heard a voice behind her, "Wait a minute." ”
It's Yun Luo's voice! Gu Wanwan scolded her mother in her heart, but her face was silent, she turned around and said, "Princess, is there anything else?" ”
"That man just said that you don't want me to marry your prince, do you really think so?"
"Back to the princess, Awan never thought so, the matter between the princess and the prince is not something that Awan can put her beak into." Gu Wanwan hurriedly denied it.
"Princess Yunluo," Feng Jiu said, "This woman is just a singer sent by the Prime Minister's Mansion, so why should you bother with her." ”
This Feng Jiu, is he helping her out of the siege? Gu Wanwan secretly wondered in her heart, when did he become so kind-hearted?
"Oh? Sent by the Prime Minister? When Yun Luo heard this, a smile appeared on his face, "No wonder he looks like such a peugeot!" As he spoke, he gently lifted Gu Wanwan's jaw with his index finger, and his eyes roamed over her face, as if he was genuinely admiring.
Harrow who had been standing silently for a long time also walked over, pulled down Yun Luo's hand, and said with a little blame and helplessness in his tone, "Okay, you are here as a guest, how can you point fingers at King You's concubine like this!" As he spoke, he turned to Feng Jiu, "Youwang, I'm really sorry, my sister has been unruly since she was a child. ”
Feng Jiu shook his head, "Princess Yunluo has a brilliant nature, how could I take such a trivial matter to heart!" After speaking, he turned his head to Gu Wanwan and scolded, "What are you doing in a daze?" Don't hurry up yet! ”
"Yes." Gu Wanwan responded in a low voice, and hurriedly bowed her head and retreated. She slandered in her heart, a ghost king is difficult enough, and now she is being targeted by this Yunluo group master! If she hadn't had to steal the unicorn fruit with such a face now, she wouldn't have bothered to spend it here!
Yun Luo looked at Gu Wanwan's back, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
A small courtyard in the Youwang Mansion.
Inside the house, Gu Wanwan was sitting at the table, the tea in her hand was already cold, but she still drank it slowly, and a few rays of light flashed in her eyes from time to time, obviously thinking about something.
Xiuchun on the side saw that she had been maintaining this posture since she went to welcome Princess Yunluo back with King You, and couldn't help but step forward and ask, "Miss Awan, are you worried about something?" If there is something I tell our subordinates to do, it would be fine. ”
Gu Wanwan's thoughts were interrupted, she put down the cup in her hand, and pulled out a comforting smile, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired." You go down first, I want to rest for a while. ”
Xiuchun answered and walked out.
Seeing Xiuchun close the door, Gu Wanwan looked around and made sure that she was the only one left in the room, so she hurriedly walked into the inner room and carefully found the black night clothes hidden under the box before.
Thanks to her foresight, she brought this dress here!
Gu Wanwan showed a smile, looking at today's posture, that Princess Yunluo is obviously a character who is not easy to mess with, and the play in the morning has already made Yunluo "impressed" by her. In case Yun Luo really becomes the princess of You, it is unknown whether this unicorn fruit can be obtained! It's better to take a risk, wait for the whole house to sleep in the middle of the night, and go to Feng Jiu's house to explore first, it is best to find the unicorn fruit, and there are many clues if you can't find it.
After paying attention, Gu Wanwan closed her eyes and lay down on the bed with peace of mind, ready to recharge her energy for the night's action.
On the other side, Feng Jiu had just sent Halluo and Yun Luo into the door, and a man in black immediately came in to reply.
"Lord Wang, Du Tsai has carefully checked it, and no one in the backyard has sent news out."
Feng Jiu lowered his head and thought for a long time, "What did they do when they went back?" ”
"Minghua lost his temper at the people in his courtyard, thinking that he was unwilling because of Fang Cai's affairs, Ruoxue was no different from usual, and Ah Wan said that she fell asleep when she went back, and there was nothing abnormal." The man in black replied in a deep voice.
"Got it." Feng Jiu's voice did not fluctuate at all, and he gently waved his hand back to signal the man in black to step back.
Minghua is a brainless person, and he doesn't pay attention to Ruoxue's thoughts, as for "Awan"... Sleeping? How could this woman be so peaceful? Feng Jiu's mind flickered, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a meaningful smile
It was late at night, the wind outside the window blew through the window and made a whirring sound, and the moonlight seemed to be cool, sprinkled on the floor of the room through the window paper. In the darkness, the neatly folded mattresses on the beds in the room could be seen, but the person who should have fallen asleep was nowhere to be seen.
At this time, Gu Wanwan, who was dressed in night clothes, was quietly walking through the corridor and arrived in front of Feng Jiu's room.
She swiped her hand casually on the door, pushed it in gently, and the door opened silently. A hint of triumph flashed in Gu Wanwan's eyes, and she flashed into the room.
The last time she was called in, Gu Wanwan figured out the structure of this room, and she was very confident in her ability to hide her body and breath, so she started rummaging in the room without glancing at the person on the bed.
Feng Jiu in the dark kept his eyes open, and he realized it the moment Gu Wanwan opened the door, but he didn't make a sound, and he guessed that this woman would not be at ease.
Seeing Gu Wanwan's unscrupulous movements, the person on the bed finally spoke, and there was a bit of sarcasm in his always hoarse voice, "Ah Wan came over so late, is it because she misses this king?" ”
Gu Wanwan, who was groping on the bookshelf, suddenly heard a voice behind her, and threw away the book in her hand in fright.
"Bang--", the sound of books falling on the ground in the silent room in the middle of the night was particularly clear, Gu Wanwan even stopped breathing, and stuck to the bookshelf behind her, not knowing how to speak for a while. How could this evil star be awake?! Could it be that she is really Miss Xiangfu, who has been in office for a long time, and her previous kung fu has regressed?
