Chapter 18: The Assassination of Yuheng
Gu Jinxuan finally sent away her nurturing grandmother, she was hiding under the hundred-year-old sycamore in Fengyang Pavilion and was lazy, the bamboo chair hanging in the air was squeaking, the early summer sun was not too poisonous, if you could take a nap under the tree in the afternoon, it would be quite pleasant.
She swayed her dangling legs, lazily slumped in the bamboo chair, twisted the cherries on the table next to her with one hand, and read the notebook with relish in the other. This story is wonderful, the writing is sophisticated, but the subject matter is a bit of a crazy temptation on the edge of being banned, and it is just a coincidence that it is written that the poor princess married another country and finally married a lover to her unlucky husband and finally became a family, and it is also the bookstore owner who has a big heart, and dares to take out this type of book to sell, fortunately, there is only one copy, and it was bought by the only princess who is not like a princess at all.
In the end, the prince of another country chose to let go of the hatred between the two countries and gave way to his brother, and the princess became the fairy couple of the idle clouds and wild cranes. Gu Jinxuan had a toothache when she saw it, but she couldn't resist her curiosity, so she still read it hard.
"This princess is also quite stupid, a sentence that is pleasing to her but can't help but can coax herself to forgive the man's use and harm to her." Gu Jinxuan tasted the storyline in her mind, but she still couldn't hold back, and continued: "That son of the world is too, he obviously likes it, but he can still be ruthless enough to exchange the princess's life for revenge chips, it's really ...... Not! β
One hand covered Gu Jinxuan's chattering mouth, Cuizhu saw that her princess said that she would no longer express her "high opinions", so she reluctantly took her hand down, picked up the new cherry plate that had just been washed and replaced the previous one, she showed a hint of reproach: "My good princess, now is the time when the prince of the Yu family visits, you should say less, be careful that the wall has ears and affects the friendship between the two countries." β
She knows too well what the three princesses have such a big temperament, as a palace maid, since Cuizhu came to Gu Jinxuan's side, she has been burdened with the task of regulating Jinxuan's words and deeds, but the third princess is notoriously disobedient to discipline, usually as long as she doesn't involve major matters, Cuizhu generally turns a blind eye and lets it go. In this sensitive period, there can be no gossip.
Cuizhu looked at Feigu who was waiting next to him, and made a look, Feigu took the others present to retreat, and the tree was much more empty for a while.
"What's wrong Cuizhu, you don't care about me when I read the script, but this one is not as excessive as before, why don't you let me say it?" Gu Jinxuan threw the script in her hand and said aggrievedly: "Or Sister Cuizhu, you finally decided to choose to deprive me of the right to read the script for entertainment?" β
Cuizhu couldn't cry or laugh for a while: "Princess, you can stop, this sister and slave can't stand it, but now is really not a good time to read this kind of script." β
"What's that?"
"When the slave maid first came from outside, she heard about a big event." Cuizhu picked up the notebook and stuffed it back into Jinxuan's hand, leaned close to Gu Jinxuan's ear, and said in a low voice: "The prince of the Yu clan has been assassinated, and the assassin has not been whereabouts so far." β
"Yuheng was assassinated?"
"Yes, because after all, it was assassinated in our country, so the issues in this regard have been very sensitive recently, if the princess has finished reading this book, it is better to put it away properly, and be careful to tell the truth." Cuizhu's original intention was to let the princess avoid the moment, and then take out the script when the matter passed, which Cheng wanted the third princess to backhand, and the script sank to the bottom of the pond after stirring up a circle of waves on the pond next to it.
ββ¦β¦ Princess: What is this? β
"I lost my appetite, I don't want to look at it anymore, this Yu family has a lot of things to do every day, and he wants to marry and be assassinated, and now I can't even read the script. Don't look at it, don't look at it! I'm going to play with Jin Ge'er! β
As a result, Gu Jinxuan walked around the palace twice, but she didn't see Jin Ge's figure, and the guards at the palace gate said that she left the palace early in the morning and has not returned.
Gu Jinxuan felt bored again, so she simply went out of the palace to find Nuo Ye's sister-in-law in the Xianwang Mansion, anyway, there are always people in the Xianwang Mansion, and she is not afraid of jumping into the air.
However, Gu Jinxuan went to the Xianwang Mansion and really pounced.
Mo Ye's sister-in-law went home to save her relatives, she didn't believe it, she thought that the second brother didn't want her to see Mo Ye's sister-in-law, so she stayed in Xianwang's Mansion for an afternoon, drank three or four pots of tea, and there was no trace of Mo Ye's sister-in-law when it was getting dark.
It wasn't until the news of Yu Bai's return came that Gu Jinxuan patted the hem of her clothes and decided to visit another day.
As a result, as soon as she came out of the main hall, she and her second brother came to stare at each other, Gu Jinxuan remembered the three or four pots of precious tea, and touched her nose curtly: "Second, second brother, I came to find Sister-in-law Nuoye, since my sister-in-law is not here, I will leave first." β
Gu Yubai glanced at the butler who followed out, who nodded at him with a teapot, which had fully demonstrated what the third princess had done.
Gu Yubai got the news when Gu Jinxuan entered the mansion, but he didn't care about being disturbed by the assassination of Yuheng Shizi.
"The royal sister is in such a hurry, didn't she do something wrong?"
"Where, how can there be..."
Gu Jinxuan's eyes flickered, looking at the housekeeper behind her, she deeply felt that she had to give this tea money, she took a few steps back, and suddenly lifted her skirt and slipped past her second brother, "Second brother!" See you next time! β
"Lord Wang... The third princess drank the monttop stone flower that Yu Shizi gave you, and the slave didn't stop her. β
Looking at the teapot in the butler's hand, Gu Yubai waved his hand: "That's it." β
The gift sent by Yu Shizi is not to be thrown away, and he is selfish and doesn't want to send it back as it is.
"When you go back, you send someone to tell Yu Shizi, just say that my godsister has no way, and she will come to the door another day to apologize."
Gu Jinxuan slipped back to Fengyang Pavilion all the way, and when she saw that it was getting late, she packed up her things and went to Shoukang Palace to find her little sister.
Taohong watched the third princess arrange a bed for herself in the county lord's room, and couldn't help but be curious: "Princess, what trouble are you in again?" β
Gu Jinxuan: "Eh, pink!" How can you think of me like that, can't I accompany Jin Ge'er? Why is it another trouble? β
"But the county lord hasn't come back yet, who are you here to accompany now?"
ββ¦β¦β
Finished! Peach followed Jin Ge'er to learn badly!
"Go and go, boil hot water, no big or small, why should I tell you about this princess, Jin Ge'er spoils you too much on weekdays." Gu Jinxuan was about to rush Taohong out of the house, and happened to meet Jin Ge coming back with two wine jars.
Before Jin Ge's feet crossed the threshold, he was hugged by Ah Xuan who rushed to his face, and everyone was a little dizzy: "What's the matter?" Think of me like that? She laboriously pulled out of Gu Jinxuan's arms, picked up the two wine jars in her hands, and threw them to Taohong on the side, "You go and put this thing away, and then boil two buckets of hot water." β
"What wine! I'm going to drink it too! Gu Jinxuan next to him stretched out his claws restlessly, and was cruelly pressed down by Jin Ge: "It's just an empty wine jar, I want to give it to Gu Yubai when I turn around, I don't know if my signboard was smashed, I think Gu Yubai is almost hopeless." β
"Huh? What signboard? β
"Someone sells wine in the name of Gu Yubai, and it is very unpleasant, and your second brother's beautiful love story has been overshadowed outside the palace." Jin Ge explained to his little sister as if it was lively, "Although I think it's very cool, but after all, it involves Sister-in-law Nuo Ye, I have to give Gu Yubai a reminder when I go back, and I can't damage my sister-in-law's reputation." β
The wick swayed, reflecting the two figures on the window, and they were already two fair women smiling without any image.
"By the way, why do you want to sleep with me today? Trouble again? Jin Ge looked at the extra bedding and nodded Jinxuan's head, "Come to me to hide as soon as you get into trouble, you are sure that your second brother will not come to Shoukang Palace to ask for someone, you, have a snack." β
"Eh, RosΓ© was really damaged by you, and she asked me so just now." Gu Jinxuan took half a step back with her hands on her head and fell to the ground with the stool behind her.
Gu Jinxuan picked up the stool and whispered about her behavior in the Xianwang Mansion today, focusing on the fact that she went to find Sister-in-law Nuo Ye.
As for those pots of tea, she just picked up the Mengding Stone Huayang people to brew it, and I heard that it was given by Yu Shizi, of course she had to spoil it to vent her anger for Jin Ge.
"If the thing is sent to Gu Yubai, it will be Gu Yubai's, you got the wrong object, but you did a good job." Covering the quilt, Jin Ge affirmed Jinxuan's behavior.
