For a while, the ministers were panicked, but only Gu Tingyu was still calm.

"Aren't you worried, sir?" The butler asked worriedly.

Gu Tingyu was slightly stunned, and then showed a sneer.

"What is there to worry about, that assassin is coming for me, if you kill him, it will make the emperor jealous, so he will not kill me!"

The butler breathed a sigh of relief, and he finally felt a little solace in his heart.

"But, sir, what are we going to do? In case the Emperor finds out about us......

"It's okay," Gu Tingyu waved his hand, his tone indifferent, "That assassin has already been arrested by me, I'm not afraid of who instigated him to confess, it's just ......."

He sighed: "This matter is in an uproar, I'm afraid that the progress of our plan will be blocked, I originally wanted to use Gu Yuchen's hand to force the emperor to abolish the crown prince, but now it seems that there is no play."

"Master, should we marry the second princess?"

"No need," Gu Tingyu's mouth pursed into an indifferent smile, "Although Gu Yuchen is gentle, he also has several excellent sons, and my two younger brothers are not weak, and none of his three brothers are suitable to be princes."

"That ......"

"Why don't you replace the crown princess with Gu Yuchen's sister?" Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes, "After all, Gu Yuchen's sister seems to be stupid."

The housekeeper suddenly realized, and laughed twice: "What the master said is right, that Gu Yuchen's sister is really stupid, but if the crown princess is replaced by Gu Yuchen, the emperor will inevitably suspect us, and we will proceed according to the original plan."

"Well," Gu Tingyu's eyes flickered for a moment, "Let's go to the Leng family to propose marriage first, as for the matter of the crown princess...... Hold it off for now."

"Yes, sir."

The people of the Gu family had already begun to act, but outside the Gu Mansion, many people who were watching the excitement quietly gathered.

Therefore, when Gu Tingyu and the housekeeper just left the house, they met Gu Yuchen who was walking towards him.

Gu Yuchen was wearing a blue robe, his clothes were embroidered with gold edges, his eyebrows were handsome, and there was a shallow smile on his lips, looking romantic.

"Fourth brother," Gu Yuchen glanced at Gu Tingyu, and just then his gaze moved to Leng Shuang's body, he was stunned, "Who is the girl next to you?"

Leng Shuang lowered her head, not daring to look at Gu Yuchen, she was afraid that she would not be able to help crying.

Gu Tingyu frowned: "Don't scream."

Gu Yuchen's gaze swept over the guards behind Gu Tingyu, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Fourth brother, which maid is this girl from?"

"My personal maid!" Gu Tingyu was silent for a while, and said, "She will be your sister-in-law in the future!"

Sister-in-law?

Gu Yuchen was stunned.

His head popped and his ears buzzed.

"Fourth brother, what did you say?" His eyes widened and he stared at Gu Tingyu in disbelief.

Gu Tingyu's face was as black as the bottom of a pot: "Gu Yuchen, you don't want to admit it, do you?"

"Fourth brother, I want you to take a concubine, but I never planned to give away my daughter-in-law, did this girl misunderstand?"

Leng Shuang's body stiffened, and he looked up at Gu Tingyu.

At this moment, her eyes were dazed, as if she didn't understand what Gu Tingyu meant.

"I didn't plan to take a concubine," Gu Tingyu frowned, "Cold Frost, did you misunderstand something?"

"I'm not mistaken."

The cold frost lowered his eyes, covering the disappointment in his eyes.

Would he rather not marry a wife than take her as a concubine?

"Gu Yuchen, don't mess around!"

"Fourth brother, where am I messing around? If you really want to take a concubine, you should have told me earlier, lest I be robbed of by someone and you will lose."

Gu Tingyu's face sank completely, and he shouted, "I warn you, if you continue to mess around, I will ignore you anymore!"

"Fourth brother," Gu Yuchen pouted aggrievedly, "I didn't force you to marry her, why aren't you happy?" Besides, I didn't plan to give her to her

He man, I only hope ......."

Gu Tingyu's face became even more stinky, and he kicked Gu Yuchen away fiercely.

"Get out!"

Gu Yuchen fell to the ground, screaming in pain, rubbing his ass pitifully and getting up: "I'm your own brother, you actually kicked me!"

"You are my own brother, if you don't take a concubine, don't blame me for turning my face and not recognizing people!"

Gu Yuchen was stunned.

What did he think...... The fourth brother's attitude is not quite right.

"Fourth Brother......

"Get out!"

Gu Tingyu was annoyed and angry, and slapped his palm at Gu Yuchen.

With this palm, Gu Yuchen was directly knocked unconscious, his whole face was bruised, and he lay motionless on the ground without a sound.

"Husband!" The housekeeper was frightened, and rushed forward to help Gu Yuchen up, but Gu Yuchen was as heavy as a thousand catties, no matter how hard the housekeeper tried, Gu Yuchen didn't wake up.

Gu Tingyu clenched his fists and stared at the housekeeper gloomily: "Take him back to the room to recuperate, don't give him medicine!"

The housekeeper hurriedly picked up Gu Yuchen and followed Gu Tingyu and walked quickly to the mansion.

"Miss ......"

Leng Shuang hesitated to call, "This ...... Won't you save the young master?"

"Don't save him," Gu Tingyu curled his lips coldly, "If we save him, the emperor will suspect that we are in contact with the crown prince, and in this way, everything we have done will be in vain, and he will not die!"

He said this to the housekeeper on purpose, so as not to inform Gu Yuchen after the housekeeper heard it.

After all, he can't admit this kind of thing, otherwise, once it reaches the ears of the emperor, the emperor will never let them go!

"Husband," Leng Shuang bit her lip, "We have been helping Gu Yuchen all these years, why don't you want him to take a concubine?"

Gu Tingyu stopped and looked back at the woman behind him.

The woman's face was pale, and tears were hazy on her beautiful face, pitiful and pitiful.

He slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened his eyes and smiled bitterly: "Lengshuang, it's not that I don't want Yuchen to take a concubine, but I don't want you to marry him."

"I know Yu Chen has a short temper and a hot temper, and he likes to play with power, but he has never hurt you."

Leng Shuang shook his head: "Husband, I understand what you mean, I don't want to marry Yu Chen, it's because I don't want to leave you, we met in Qinglou, I had a marriage contract with you at that time, but in the end I escaped from Qinglou and became attached to you, I have been waiting for you to come to me, I want to stay in Gu Wangfu and accompany you for the rest of my life."

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was overwhelmed with grief: "You don't want to take a concubine, and I don't force it, but I hope you can accept me as a concubine, as long as I can stay with you, even if I am a concubine, I am willing."

Gu Tingyu's breathing suddenly stagnated, and his heart ached as if it had been cut by a knife.

In his heart, a strong remorse welled up.

Originally, if it weren't for him, how could this girl have fallen to that point?

Perhaps sensing Gu Tingyu's emotional changes, Leng Shuang knelt on the ground in a panic, wiped the tears on his cheeks with his sleeve, and stretched out his hand tremblingly.

"Husband, did you agree?"

"I'm glad you want to stay with me, you don't have to sacrifice yourself for me."

"Fourth brother, if you don't agree, I won't force it, don't worry, I won't take a concubine in the future."

Cold frost raised his lips and smiled lightly.

"I ......" Gu Tingyu was slightly stunned, "I didn't mean that...... I'm just worried that you'll be wronged, and if you do, I'll ...... I promise you."

"Husband," a look of joy appeared on Frost's face, "thank you."

Gu Tingyu smiled bitterly.

In that war, he almost died on the battlefield, but fortunately met his master.

His master taught him a lot of things and some martial arts for self-defense.

Later, at the junction of his army and the north, in order to protect the safety of his soldiers, he traveled to the north alone to fight the enemy.

He thought that he would never see the master again in his life, but he didn't expect that a few years later, the master suddenly came to visit and took the cold frost away.

He didn't know how Cold Frost survived, only that she came back alive.

But she also forgot about him.

"Cold Frost, do you remember who I am?"

Cold Frost nodded stunnedly, "Yes."

"I'm Gu Tingyu!"

"Oh."

"Why aren't you impressed?"

「……」

Cold Frost was stunned.

Why should she be impressed?

She only remembered that she was the maid of the Gu family, and that's it.

Gu Tingyu's eyes gradually dimmed, he turned around and walked forward with his long legs.

"Miss, who is this son?" The butler couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know."

Leng Shuang shook his head: "He only said his surname is Gu, and I don't remember anything about the rest."

"Ugh."

The housekeeper sighed: "Miss, just now the old slave saw that this son was very concerned about you, if you need help, just look for him, maybe he can help you." Z.br>

Gu Tingyu...... It's an idiot!

But even so, this son's strength is still strong, at least stronger than Gu Yuchen.

"Hmm."

Leng Shuang nodded slightly, and her eyes always followed Gu Tingyu's emaciated back.

His back was depressed and lonely, covered with wind and rain, which made her heart sore, and crystal clear tears hung on the corners of her eyes.

"I wanted to go to him, but he ...... They will not take me as a concubine."

"I see."

The butler sighed.

This matter is indeed very tricky, after all, Gu Tingyu is kind to Miss.

But he refused to take a concubine.

Now the two aunts in the Gu Mansion are all rewarded by the emperor, if Gu Tingyu does not accept concubines, the face of the Gu family will be gone.

"Let's go, let's go and see the young lady's condition first."

Outside Gu Wang's Mansion, Gu Tingyu was fidgeting.

He had already sent someone to ask for a doctor, but he hadn't seen anyone for half a day.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly arrived and knelt down on one knee in front of Gu Tingyu.

"Lord Wang, someone from the Tai Hospital came, but the people from the Tai Hospital said that they did not treat the young lady, and they did not want to treat the second miss, saying that the second miss was seriously ill and her life was hanging by a thread, and if it was too late, I am afraid it would be ......."

Gu Tingyu's brows furrowed fiercely, and he pondered for a moment: "Lead the way."

"Yes, Lord."

The guards led Gu Tingyu in the direction of the Tai Hospital.

Gu Tingyu's steps were extremely fast, his expression was anxious, and dense sweat was oozing from his forehead.

If Gu Yuchen is really dead, what should he do?
