"Hmm," Leng Shuang nodded and said, "Let's go directly to Gu Wangfu."

"Miss, do you really plan to marry the prince Gu Tingyu?"

"Of course!" Leng Shuang said without hesitation.

She had thought it was a bit difficult to do, but after listening to the man's words last night, she felt that she was so witty.

Now that King Chen's Mansion is in chaos, she will definitely be able to attract Gu Tingyu's attention by going to Gu Wang's Mansion at this time.

As for what the man said, she naturally chose to believe it.

What's more, Gu Tingyu is the person she has liked for so many years.

……

Gu Wangfu

Gu Tingyu approached the courtyard where the princess lived, and saw the maid standing in the princess's house at a glance.

"Where's the princess?" Gu Tingyu frowned and asked.

The maid blessed her body slightly, and respectfully reported, "The princess went to the old lady's courtyard."

Gu Tingyu nodded, and walked towards the courtyard where the princess lived.

The princess likes to visit the garden most on weekdays, so Gu Tingyu walked all the way to the outside of the princess's courtyard unimpeded.

Just as Gu Tingyu was about to step into the courtyard, a burst of fragrance came to his nose.

Gu Tingyu raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, frowned, and said, "What is this?"

"Lord, it's incense." The little maid replied.

"Since it's incense, let's withdraw it." Gu Tingyu waved his hand and motioned for the little maid to remove the incense.

"Yes, Lord." The little maid answered and turned away.

Gu Tingyu frowned and turned around to leave.

However, just as Gu Tingyu had just taken a few steps, a rich fragrance wafted into his nose.

Suddenly, Gu Tingyu felt hot all over his body, his breathing became disordered, his legs became sore, and he almost fell to the ground.

Seeing this, the little maid hurriedly stepped forward and supported Gu Tingyu.

"Lord Wang, why are your cheeks so hot?" The little maid said in surprise.

Gu Tingyu shook his head hard, trying to dispel the strangeness in his body.

However, no matter how Gu Tingyu struggled, his consciousness was still groggy.

"Lord Wang, you lie on the bed and rest for a while, and the slave will call the housekeeper." The little maid said worriedly.

Gu Tingyu gritted his teeth, pushed away the little maid with all his might, staggered into the inner room, and slammed the door shut.

"Princess, the prince got drunk and made a lot of trouble, and now he is asleep." Gonggong Li reported to Shen Yueli.

"What's wrong with him now?" Shen Yueli asked with a frown.

"No reaction other than a headache."

Hearing this, Leng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as there was no fever, her plan was two-thirds successful.

Just waiting for her medicinal materials to be in place, she immediately fed the antidote to Gu Tingyu.

At that time, Gu Tingyu will no longer be able to escape her control!

……

When Gu Tingyu woke up again, it was already nightfall.

He opened his eyes, but he was greeted by an unfamiliar environment.

With a sharp contraction of his heart, Gu Tingyu glanced around vigilantly, and after confirming that he was safe, he let out a long sigh.

"The prince is awake."

Gu Tingyu looked sideways and saw a strange woman's face.

The woman is about eighteen years old, with a gentle smile on her goose-egg-shaped face, her skin is like condensation, beautiful and moving, and her smile reveals a dignified and noble atmosphere.

Gu Tingyu stared at the woman in front of him in a daze, his heart beat faster, and even his breathing couldn't help but become much faster.

Seeing this, the woman covered her lips and chuckled, "Lord Wang, why are you looking at the concubine like this?"

……

"You...... Who is it?"

Gu Tingyu frowned and asked.

He remembered that he was obviously dining with the Queen Mother in the palace yesterday, why did he arrive here in the blink of an eye?

Could it be that this woman is his savior?

"The concubine is the prince's fiancée, and the concubine is cold." Cold Frost replied softly.

Fiancee?!

Listening to Leng Shuang's words, Gu Tingyu's face suddenly became gloomy.

"You're talking nonsense! I have never betrothed to you, where did I get my fiancée?"

"Lord, although the concubine's mother did not marry the prince, the concubine and the prince's childhood sweetheart have long been privately engaged for life."

Gu Tingyu glared at Leng Shuang angrily, feeling ashamed and angry in his heart.

"Ridiculous! What have I promised?"

"Lord Wang, have you forgotten? On that day, I met a gangster on the street, and the concubine tried her best to block in front of you and take a knife for you, but she was stabbed by a thief. You went back to the palace with your concubine in your arms, and you promised to marry your concubine."

"! I don't remember it!" Gu Tingyu gritted his teeth and roared.

Cold Frost's face turned pale in an instant, and tears slid down his face.

"Lord Wang, how can you forget? You promised to be a concubine, and you would treat your concubine well for the rest of your life."

Gu Tingyu took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the anger churning in his chest, and remained silent.

Seeing that Gu Tingyu was silent for a long time, Leng Shuang continued: "The concubine knows that she is not worthy of you, but since you have promised to be a concubine, you should definitely not break your word."

Gu Tingyu wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at the cold frost, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Lord, the concubine knows that the concubine is from a humble background and cannot match the prince. Therefore, if the prince dislikes the concubine body, and the concubine body is willing to leave the palace, he will definitely not pester you." After Leng Shuang finished speaking, he slowly closed his eyes, as if waiting for Gu Tingyu's decision.

Gu Tingyu pondered for a long time and said, "Since you don't mind, this king will not treat you badly, this jade pendant is a relic left by the princess of this king, and this king will give it to you."

After the words fell, Gu Tingyu took out a dark green jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Leng Shuang.

Leng Shuang took the jade pendant, and a relieved smile rose at the corner of his mouth.

Gu Tingyu's behavior was obviously an acknowledgment of her.

"Thank you, Lord."

"Stand down."

"Yes."

Then, Leng Shuang retreated from Gu Tingyu's bedroom.

Gu Tingyu leaned on the edge of the bed and sat down, stretched out his hand and pressed his forehead with a faint pain, his expression was full of a trace of confusion.

He actually had a marriage contract with Cold Frost in a vague way, and there was no record of Cold Frost in his memory.

What the hell is going on?

There are many images flashing in his mind, each of which is a scene of him and Cold Frost embracing each other in the garden.

"Lord, are you awake?"

Just as Gu Tingyu wanted to think about it, the little girl's voice suddenly sounded.

Gu Tingyu looked up and saw the little maid coming over with a bowl of porridge.

"Put it on the table, and I'll eat it later." Gu Tingyu rubbed his temples and commanded.

The little maid hesitated for a moment, and then put the porridge in her hand on the table.

"Lord Wang, you didn't close your eyes all night last night, so let's pad your stomach first."

Gu Tingyu ignored the little maid and closed his eyes.

He really had no appetite, he hadn't dripped a drop of water all day, and he was already very hungry.

However, he had to keep a clear head before he could figure out what was going on.

Thinking of these troubles, Gu Tingyu gradually fell into a coma.

……

The next day, early in the morning.

After Gu Tingyu woke up, he felt dizzy, and his body was even more sour.

"Lord Wang, you're awake." The little maid stood beside the bed and called softly.

Gu Tingyu squinted his eyes and looked at the situation in the room, and found that he was actually in a side room.

Gu Tingyu thought about it secretly, and finally affirmed that he was in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

"Go down, all of you, this king is tired

now." Gu Tingyu said indifferently.

"Yes, Lord." With that, the two maids quietly withdrew from the house.

Seeing that everyone had retreated, Gu Tingyu lifted the brocade quilt and got out of bed.

After putting on his shoes and getting off the ground, Gu Tingyu walked quickly to the windowsill, opened the window and looked out.

If you don't look at it, when you look at it, Gu Tingyu's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were full of shock.

I saw that the courtyard where he lived was empty, and the few maids who had been serving him had disappeared without a trace.

A strong uneasiness hit Gu Tingyu's heart, causing a chill to run through his heart.

What's going on here? He just slept for a while, and there was a change of master in this courtyard?!

Gu Tingyu was restless in his heart, and couldn't help shouting, "Someone! Someone!"

Soon, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and immediately after, an older grandmother appeared in Gu Tingyu's eyes.

After seeing Mama, Gu Tingyu hurriedly ran to Mama, grabbed Mama's arm and asked excitedly, "Mama, what's going on?" Why are there so many people in the king's courtyard?"

Mama smiled kindly, patted the back of Gu Tingyu's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, the old slave came to take care of the prince by the emperor's will."

Gu Tingyu suddenly froze in place, looking at Mama in disbelief.

"Lord, what are you still doing in a daze, hurry up and wash up and eat, the emperor is going to leave for the capital today."

Hearing Mama say this, Gu Tingyu came to his senses, and he was still puzzled in his heart.

No, he'll have to find a chance to ask.

……

The other side.

The Imperial Study.

The emperor looked at Steward Su who was kneeling on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Steward Su, how is the matter with what I asked you to do?"

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have obeyed orders and have already checked Gu Tingyu's life experience."

The emperor nodded and motioned for Steward Su to continue speaking.

Steward Su said respectfully, "Your Majesty, according to the spies, Gu Tingyu is actually not of royal blood."

"Oh? What does that mean?"

"Your Majesty, please take a look." Steward Su took out a copy of the fold and presented it to the emperor.

The Emperor unfolded the recital, his eyes quickly scanned the recital, and a light smile appeared on his face.

"Haha, I didn't expect it, this Gu Tingyu is actually the concubine of the Duke of Zhenguo, no wonder he doesn't care about the death of the Gu family's sister-in-law, it turns out that it is because of this."

Steward Su seconded the proposal, "The emperor is wise."

"Steward Su, who else knows about this matter besides you?" The Emperor asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, only your subordinates know about this matter."

"Okay, you're doing a good job."

"The emperor praised it falsely."

"Stand down!"

"Yes."

After Steward Su exited the imperial study, the emperor's lips outlined a sneering arc.

"Zhenguo Gong, Zhenguo Gong, you are good at calculating in vain, but you don't want to raise a waste son in the end." The Emperor sneered, his eyes glinting with a dark coldness. Outside the Royal Palace.
