Inside the East Palace, the lights are bright.
Chu Yunyi's mood was visible to the naked eye. Seeing him returning to the East Palace with a smile on his face, Gu Qingqiu's hanging heart finally fell into place.
Holding a cloak made of fox fur in her hand, she stood quietly under the bright lantern, and her eyes were always glued to Chu Yunyi.
"Your Highness!" A tactful cry brought Chu Yunyi back to his senses.
He raised his head and looked at Gu Qingqiu, but when he saw Gu Qingqiu's gentle demeanor, his eyebrows frowned: "Why are you here?"
"Although it's already spring, the night is still cold. I have been waiting here for a long time, just worried that you will go back to the bedroom in thin clothes." Gu Qingqiu said softly, "This journey will take at least two quarters of an hour. , you'd better put it on quickly."
Gu Qingqiu's words greatly benefited Chu Yunyi.
But soon, he remembered another thing.
"Now you are putting on a show in front of me." Chu Yunyi asked in a cold voice with a gloomy face, "Do you know that because of your plan today, I almost ruined my reputation?"
Hearing this, panic appeared on Gu Qingqiu's face, she lowered her head, her eyes were full of calculations.
"Your Highness, this concubine also got her father..."
"Don't mention Father!" Chu Yunyi interrupted her sharply, "Don't you want to live?"
His father is the most face-saving, if Gu Qingqiu blames his father for designing Gu Ning, once his father finds out, his position as the crown prince may be lost!
The murderous aura shown by Chu Yunyi at this moment made Gu Qingqiu shut his mouth immediately.
"I know I'm wrong." She lowered her head and said cautiously and uneasy.
"You did this alone! Don't make any other excuses!" Chu Yunyi exhorted viciously, "If you think about these things again, don't blame me for being rude to you!"
When Gu Qingqiu heard this, he curled his lips secretly, not taking it seriously at all.
Just the child in her belly is enough to hold Chu Yunyi in check.
But she still pretended to have lingering fears, and responded in a low voice and panic: "I will never dare to say it again! All these plans were designed by me! Your Highness has been implicated..."
She bit her lower lip, very uneasy: "I am very uneasy, father didn't blame you, did he?"
Gu Qingqiu nervously asked this sentence, quietly waiting for Chu Yunyi's answer.
After a while, Chu Yunyi's face turned cold, but there was an obvious look of joy on the brows of his eyebrows: "Father loves me the most, so how can I blame me?"
"Besides, father also knows that this king is being plotted against!" Thinking of this, Chu Yunyi felt sick in his heart, and he actually lay naked on the same bed as that man Chu Mengyang!
Chu Yunyi was so disgusted that his fingertips were trembling, but as soon as he thought about what the emperor said today, he felt at ease again: "Father not only did not blame this king, but also promised me one thing!"
"This throne will belong to this king sooner or later!"
When Chu Yunyi said this, he raised his chin proudly.
Seeing this, Gu Qingqiu opened his eyes wide in disbelief: "Really?"
"Naturally!" Chu Yunyi nodded proudly, "Father asked the second brother to go to the border to guard the border, and let this king treat the second prince well after he succeeds to the throne, and don't take his life. Isn't that the throne has been handed over to this king? Are you on?"
When Gu Qingqiu got this answer, his eyes lit up with joy.
"Your Highness is finally watching the clouds and the moon!" She clenched her fists excitedly, and it took a long while before she said this.
However, after the great joy, uneasiness inevitably emerged in her heart.
This uneasiness came inexplicably, it was clearly such exciting good news, but she seemed to see a huge mouth of an abyss, ready to swallow her.
The change in Gu Qingqiu's face was very obvious, and Chu Yunyi noticed it almost instantly.
"What do you mean? You don't believe me?"
His voice was extremely cold, and his expression was extremely angry. Now he was staring at Gu Qingqiu, and he must ask Gu Qingqiu to give him an answer.
Gu Qingqiu could hear the displeasure in his tone, he opened his lips, and was about to explain the matter away, but felt a pain in his jaw.
Chu Yunyi was pinching her chin with a big hand, and his tone was as cold as ice: "Gu Qingqiu, how dare you not believe me! Do you think I'm not worthy of the throne?"
"Of course not!" Gu Qingqiu tried his best to put on a gentle expression, but he had to frown because of the pain in his chin, "Your Highness, I believe in you! Don't you know my feelings for you?"
"For you, I'm willing to give everything!" Gu Qingqiu looked at him affectionately, and for a moment Chu Yunyi recalled Gu Qingqiu's tenderness before.
His eyes softened slightly, but soon, he warned Gu Qingqiu again: "During this period of time, just stay in the East Palace in peace and order, and don't go anywhere! This child, he is your greatest reliance !"
Chu Yunyi's words nearly broke Gu Qingqiu's gentle mask.
She subconsciously touched her swollen belly, thinking about a question for the first time.
What if she did not give birth to a son?
As long as he thinks of this possibility, Gu Qingqiu can't stop trembling.
Under Chu Yunyi's gaze, she nodded quickly: "I'm not going anywhere, I turned down all the invitations from those wives, I will definitely raise my baby in the East Palace, so that our son can be born safely."
When the word "son" was mentioned, Chu Yunyi's face softened a lot.
He didn't take the heavy cloak from Gu Qingqiu's hand, and walked towards the bedroom on his own. Gu Qingqiu watched with his own eyes the palace servants around him trotting to Wanyue Hall.
Xu Qingqing lives there.
Gu Qingqiu lowered his eyes, looked at the red mark on his palm, and laughed softly.
Her laughter fell into Ban Xia's ears, which made Ban Xia's hair stand on end: "Crown Princess, don't do stupid things! Your Highness has suspected you before!"
"I'm not stupid." Gu Qingqiu said coldly, "If another accident happens to Xu Qingqing, then I won't be able to get away with it."
Hearing that, Ban Xia breathed a sigh of relief.
However, Gu Qingqiu's next words made her feel a little worried again.
"Go outside the palace and do something for me." Gu Qingqiu handed the token for entering and exiting the East Palace to Banxia, and said quietly, "Find twenty pregnant women with the same month as me."
Ban Xia took a breath: "You are..."
"The child in my stomach can only be a son, understand?" Gu Qingqiu didn't have any emotion in his eyes, and just said the words indifferently.
Ban Xia hesitated to speak, but under Gu Qingqiu's glaring gaze, she nodded quickly: "I'll do it now, servant girl."
……
What happened during the palace banquet has already been spread throughout the streets and alleys.
Even if smart people guessed that the two princes were being tricked, it didn't affect them listening to these rumors with gusto, and expressing their opinions from time to time.
In Huixian Building, the storyteller put down his teacup heavily, and told a story in a sad tone - two brothers had a love affair, but suffered from secular prejudice, so they had to hide their feelings, each married a wife and had children, but in the dead of night , The two will meet privately in the house they bought.
As soon as the word "brother" came out, the audience present laughed tacitly.
Gu Ning knocked on the melon seeds, listening to it with relish.
Pei Chongfang accompanied her out to buy refreshments for the wedding to entertain the guests, but she didn't expect that she would sit here and not leave, listening to such a story, her scalp went numb for a while.
"My little ancestor, you are really not afraid that the emperor and the crown prince will settle that day's account on you!"
Gu Ning said sternly: "I have never done that kind of thing, why should they accuse me of it? Am I guilty of listening to a story? So many people are listening!"
Seeing Gu Ning being upright and confident, the sweat on Pei Chongfang's head was about to drop.
Others don't know, he doesn't know?
At the palace banquet that day, most of the spies placed in the palace disappeared, and then the scandal between the crown prince and the second prince was discovered. If it had nothing to do with Gu Ning, he would never believe it anyway!
It's just that Gu Ning raised his chin slightly, with serious grievances on his face, he couldn't say anything else, he could only take away the tea tray in front of her, and said angrily: "Grandma didn't ask us to come out for you to eat, drink and have fun. We still have work to do!"
"Xie Yan said that he will do it, why don't you all believe it!" Gu Ning sighed, "I finally came out to relax."
Pei Chongfang's eyelids twitched wildly: "You sleep at home until noon every day, isn't it relaxing enough?"
"I……"
"These refreshments were originally made by the woman's family. If you don't pay attention, then our Pei family will be ashamed!" Pei Chongfang threatened, "If you continue to be disobedient, I will sue."
"Second Cousin!" Gu Ning tugged at Pei Chongfang's sleeve and said pitifully, "Just let me finish listening to this paragraph!"
Pei Chongfang saw that her peach blossom eyes were shining and pitiful, but he failed in trying to harden his heart.
He had no choice but to rub his brows and sighed: "Go back after listening to this passage!"
Gu Ning nodded again and again, just as he was dragging the tea tray back to his side, he saw a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye.
"Isn't that big cousin?"
In the jewelry shop opposite the teahouse, the tall man in the uniform of the Imperial Army was clearly Pei Jingyuan.
"Huh? Why is there a woman next to the big cousin?"
When Pei Chongfang heard this, his eyelids twitched wildly again, and his intuition told him that something was wrong with this matter.
The eldest brother keeps himself clean and has never been close to women. When did he let women get close?
He quickly raised his head and looked out in the direction of Gu Ning's finger.
I saw Pei Jingyuan standing in front of the jewelry shop, a petite woman was circling around him non-stop, still talking, Pei Jingyuan stood there at a loss, wanted to leave, but was stopped by the woman.
Gu Ning frowned, carefully looked at the woman's face several times, and finally recalled the identity of this person in his mind.
Chu Yunyi's mood was visible to the naked eye. Seeing him returning to the East Palace with a smile on his face, Gu Qingqiu's hanging heart finally fell into place.
Holding a cloak made of fox fur in her hand, she stood quietly under the bright lantern, and her eyes were always glued to Chu Yunyi.
