Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Although Qi Qingxi's face was calm, she was always thinking about Guo Zili's words in her heart.

How could he be so sure that Gu Yu would think of Marquis Xingyang's life-saving grace, so he agreed to marry the girl from Marquis Xingyang's family as his concubine?

Moreover, Gu Yu often has to go to the city in three or two days due to many things recently. According to Guo Zili's excuse, it is not good when he will come, but he has to wait until today when Gu Yu is going to Xingyanghou's house for a banquet.

and also……

The last time the two children had a full moon banquet, Mrs. Xingyanghou was so angry that she didn't take the life-saving grace into account. How did Guo Zili know that Xingyanghou had saved Gu Yu's life?

Unless today's banquet is his idea for Mrs. Xingyanghou.

But there is one thing they got wrong.

There is such a thing as a life-saving grace, but it was Gu Yu who saved the Marquis of Xingyang on the battlefield, not Marquis Xingyang who saved Gu Yu.

Last time after Mrs. Xingyang Hou made such a fuss, she asked Gu Yu if there was any grievance with Xingyang Hou's family, and Gu Yu told her about it.

At that time when fighting on the battlefield, the enemy came down and pointed at Xingyanghou's neck. If Gu Yu hadn't kicked the enemy soldier away, Xingyanghou would have been decapitated. Her uncle was also present to see this scene.

Later, the Marquis of Xingyang thought about his reputation and asked them to help keep the secret.

But now for some reason, it turned out that the Marquis of Xingyang had saved Gu Yu's life, and even Mrs. Marquis of Xingyang wanted to repay the favor by asking Gu Yu to welcome her daughter into the mansion as a concubine.

It is useless for Gu Yu to be threatened by Mrs. Xingyang Hou, I am afraid that she will be instructed by others to play some dirty tricks.

Qi Qingxi hurriedly called Sequoia over, and asked her to find two servants who could ride horses to the Xingyang Hou Mansion to find out the news.

The two servants rode away, and they went quickly, and they came back quickly.

The two came back to report to Qi Qingxi, saying that the people in the Xingyang Hou's mansion said that Gu Yu had only sat in the mansion for a while and then left the Hou's mansion. As for where he went after leaving the mansion, the people in their mansion would not dare to ask.

Qi Qingxi asked again: "Then is there something wrong in their mansion?"

One of the servants shook his head, then nodded again: "Yes, I also heard two servants from the nearby mansion chatting nonsense in front of the carriage outside, saying that it was... that it was the young lady from the Xingyang Hou family and the concubine. A scholar who doesn't know where he came from, the two of them will be bumped into."

Qi Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't just that Gu Yu was plotted against by them.

The servant seemed to have thought of something, and said again: "And..."

Qi Qingxi's heart that had just let go hung up again: "What else?"

"It is said that Mrs. Xingyang Hou yelled at her lady for being shameless on the spot, and then the lady of Liu Shangshu's family stood up and scolded her, saying that she is free to love...love what..."

Qi Qingxi answered, "Free love?"

The servant nodded furiously: "That's right ma'am, that's what I heard. Miss Liu also called Mrs. Xingyang Hou a vicious mother-in-law or something. If the lady next to me didn't stop her, the two of them would have almost started fighting." .”

Qi Qingxi frowned, she couldn't understand why there was something about Liu Yuke everywhere.

Moreover, it seems that Liu Yuke is speaking for that girl, but what if the girl from Xingyang Hou's family simply said a few words to that man, or someone deliberately framed that girl, wouldn't it be true if Liu Yuke made such a fuss? Is it true that the girl and the man are secretly giving each other?

But it's not her turn to take care of other people's housework, as long as Gu Yu is fine.

But Gu Yu only showed his face in Xingyang Hou Mansion and then left, where did he go?

Until sunset, Gu Yu was reeking of alcohol and was helped back by Qing Yan.

Qi Qingxi hurried forward to support Gu Yu's other arm, and helped him back to the room.

She went to the door and ordered Ginkgo to bring in a plate of water, but when she turned around, she was hugged tightly in her arms, and a familiar faint fragrance mixed with a strong smell of alcohol lingered at the tip of her nose.

"You pretended to be drunk to lie to me again."

Qi Qingxi reached out and pinched Gu Yu's waist lightly. Gu Yu snorted and whispered into Qi Qingxi's ear with a low smile: "Madam, at least give me a chance to explain, it's not too late to do it."

Qi Qingxi looked up at him, raised her chin to motion for him to explain.

"I went out for the past few days and found that someone was following me, so I deliberately found an opportunity to try it today, and went to Liu Jin's house to sit for a while, and asked my subordinates to investigate the group of people who followed me. "

Qi Qingxi was slightly startled: "A group of people are following you?"

Gu Yu smiled and nodded: "Yes, besides the prince, there are not a few people who want to find out my whereabouts."

Qi Qingxi was puzzled and said: "Now you have been suspended from your job and ignored political affairs at home, why do those people still follow you?"

Gu Yu shook her head: "Perhaps because I think I won't be caught so easily, and want to find out my next move."

Qi Qingxi looked at him with his hands on his hips: "So you went to Liu Jin's house to drink, and you were helped back home after drinking?"

"I drank the wine, but I didn't drink that much." Gu Yu lowered her head slightly, and smiled softly, "If I don't pretend to be drunk and look sad, those people should suspect that I am in Liu Jin's house. For a long time, he was plotting something with him."

Qi Qingxi: "Then are you plotting something with him?"

Gu Yu: "Of course."

Qi Qingxi: ...

Seeing Qi Qingxi's speechless expression, Gu Yu laughed muffledly: "I can lie to them, but naturally you should know everything when talking to your wife."

Before Qi Qingxi could ask again, Gu Yu had already taken the initiative to mention his conspiracy with Liu Jin.

"A secret message came from the northwest, and the Tatar tribes began to move again. Several villages and towns around the border have been looted by them, so they have not stopped yet."

"However, our Prince's Highness..." Gu Yu's voice suddenly became colder, and his eyes also became stern, "Three memorials from the Northwest Company declared the danger of the Northwest, and all three memorials were intercepted by Li Qiming's men halfway through." Even the postmen who delivered the booklets were killed and dumped in the wilderness. If I hadn't used Shao Hua's caravan in the northwest to deliver the news, I'm afraid I would have been kept in the dark."

Qi Qingxi was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and it took a long time before he asked: "Is he... is he crazy? Doesn't he know that this behavior will delay the best time to march and deploy tens of thousands of people at the border? All the soldiers and civilians will die because of this. Even if he doesn’t understand this, it’s impossible for his staff who have fought and marched to understand, so no one advises him?”

Gu Yu's eyes became colder and colder: "Our Highness only cares about the power struggle. The dissidents in the court are more fearful to him than the enemy troops in the frontier fortress. As for the lives of the soldiers and the people, it doesn't matter to him. It's not within his consideration."
