Chapter 39: Goodbye Li Changning
After the equestrian class, Gu Wanchao wanted to go to Concubine Ning's palace to thank her in person because she received Concubine Ning's birthday gift, so she followed Princess Yimeng to Concubine Ning's palace.
However, what Gu Wanchao didn't expect was that she would actually meet an old acquaintance on the road.
"Mother, I haven't come to see you since Changning came back, you won't blame me, right?" In the imperial garden, Li Changning was chatting with her mother, Concubine De.
Hearing the familiar voice, Gu Wan went to follow the prestige, and just happened to see Li Changning who came back from 'Heqin'!
In an instant, Gu Wanchao's two legs stopped in place without obeying the call, and he couldn't take a step.
Gu Wanchao stared at Li Changning and Concubine De who were walking towards him, eager to devour them alive.
When she met the two, she suddenly forgot that she was now Gu Wanchao and not Murong Zhao, the county lord.
Her eyes were full of hatred, and the suffocation feeling of being stepped into the yellow sand and constantly swallowing the sand reappeared, and she stood in place, and gradually, it began to become difficult to breathe.
Gu Wanchao's eyes were getting closer and closer to Concubine De, but she still didn't move, just stood in place and stared at Li Changning.
"Chaochao, Chaochao?" Princess Yimeng looked at Gu Wanchao, who was motionless in place, and called her several times.
However, now Gu Wanchao, who was already surrounded by hatred, couldn't listen to anything.
"Yimeng has seen Concubine De Niangniang." Seeing that Concubine De had arrived, Princess Yimeng saluted Concubine De.
Concubine De looked at Gu Wanchao, who was standing motionless on the side, staring at Li Changning with her eyes, and her face was a little unhappy, "Whose girl is this, what are you doing in place?" ”
"Hui Defei Niangniang, this is Gu Wanchao, the granddaughter of Gu Xiangye's family." Princess Yimeng answered Concubine De's question.
She reached out again and pulled the hem of Gu Wanchao's clothes, and Gu Wanchao came back to her senses.
She temporarily suppressed the hatred in her heart, "The courtier Gu Wanchao has seen Concubine De Niangniang, Princess Changning. ”
"It turns out that you are the girl of the Gu Xiang family who was awarded the title of county lord at a young age, and you are really cute, no wonder Your Majesty likes it." Although Concubine De was in the harem, the news was not closed, and she naturally heard some rumors about Gu Wanchao.
As soon as he heard that the person in front of him was Gu Wanchao, he couldn't help but praise it.
"Concubine Xie De's mother praises falsely." Gu Wanchao is well aware of his current situation.
If she wanted revenge, she could only plan slowly, she closed her eyes, temporarily restrained her hatred for Li Changning, and didn't look at her.
"This palace saw that you have been staring at Princess Changning just now, did you know each other before?" Concubine De remembered that the heroine looked at Li Changning, and suddenly asked.
"I don't know, it's just that when I saw Princess Changning at first glance, I felt that it was very similar to an old friend of the folk girl in the past, so I lost my etiquette, and I hope that Concubine De will not blame."
"I see."
Concubine De didn't pursue it further, but Li Changning on the side, the look that Gu Wanchao looked at her just now made her a little stunned, and even felt that the look was familiar.
This made Li Changning inexplicably dislike Gu Wanchao, especially when she heard that her father loved Gu Wanchao very much, she felt even more uncomfortable in her heart.
She looked at the little girl in front of her, and suddenly felt that Gu Wanchao's temperament was very similar to Murong Zhao, as if they were just one person.
Thinking of this, Li Changning suddenly had goosebumps all over his body.
However, what Li Changning didn't expect was that everything she thought in her heart was stopped in Gu Wanchao's ears.
Gu Wanchao couldn't help but sneer in her heart, "It's right, because I'm her." ”
Afterwards, Gu Wanchao made way for Concubine De, and looking at their departing backs, Gu Wanchao's hand hidden in his sleeve was clenched into a fist.
"Chao Chao, what's wrong with you, staring at Sister Changning without saying a word, it's really scary."
Princess Yimeng still felt terrible when she remembered the appearance of Gu Wanchao.
"It's okay, didn't I just say it, I just think she is very similar to a friend I know, we haven't seen each other for many years, so I was stunned." Gu Wanchao continued to fool the past with Fang Cai's rhetoric.
Subsequently, the two went to Concubine Ning's palace together, but Gu Wanchao, who had something on her mind, was absent-minded all the time, and Concubine Ning saw that Gu Wanchao had something on her mind, so she ordered someone to send her outside the palace early.
After returning to the Gu Mansion, Gu Wanchao, who had not had a nightmare for a long time, had a nightmare again.
Xu was because she met Li Changning during the day, and she dreamed of being chased and killed by Li Changning and others.
She ran desperately in her dreams, the road seemed to have no end, no matter how she ran, she couldn't see any change, as if she was standing still.
She woke up from her dream, beads of sweat on her forehead.
"I will definitely take revenge, Li Changning!" Gu Wanchao clenched his fists and swore secretly in his heart.
The next day, Gu Wanchao, who went to Concubine Ning's palace, saw Concubine Li Changning again who came to the palace to visit Concubine De, this time, she was not stunned because of her hatred for Li Changning, she hid her small body behind the rockery, and after Li Changning left, she ran out, tiptoeing behind Li Changning along the way.
Originally, Gu Wanchao wanted to secretly follow and teach Li Changning a lesson, but it turned out that Li Changning was sneaky all the way, and the direction she went to was not her dormitory.
Seeing Li Changning's move, Gu Wanchao's curiosity in her heart became even greater, and her curiosity drove her to follow, and she was cautious along the way.
"Isn't that man my mother's personal guard?" Gu Wanchao, who had been following Li Changning all the way, suddenly discovered that what Li Changning sneakily ran over to see all the way turned out to be the eldest princess's personal guard.
Now the scene in front of her really shocked Gu Wanchao, and she suddenly remembered what Gu Shi'an said, about her mother's own poisoning.
"What is going on with all this, how can Li Changning have a connection with his mother, and why does his mother go to great lengths to take poison?"
A series of questions enveloped Gu Wanchao, making her almost out of breath.
A bold idea was born in her head, but she was reluctant to verify it. After all, Li Yu is her biological mother!
After Li Changning finished talking with the man, he turned back, and Gu Wanchao, who was afraid of being discovered, hurriedly found a place to hide.
Gu Wanchao returned home with questions, she was really puzzled, but she had no one to discuss, what happened to her was too unbelievable.
She could only suppress the doubts in her heart for the time being and slowly look for answers.
Early in the morning of the second day, Gu Wanchao did not rush into the palace, but stayed at the gate of the palace, waiting for Xiao Yu'an, who went to work in the Hanlin Academy, to arrive.
Xiao Yu'an, who got out of the carriage, couldn't help but feel a little surprised when he saw Gu Wanchao who was waiting at the door.
"Early in the morning, what are you waiting at the palace gate?" Xiao Yu'an walked up to her and asked.
