"Assassination?" The calmness on the eldest princess's face also disappeared. With a cold face, she glanced up and down Lu Shikai, "When did this happen?"

"It was when Ning'er left Yuezhou." Lu Shikai said this, with a look of anger on his face, "I told him that Ning'er's status as Xie Yan's wife will not change! But he obviously didn't mention this matter. Take it to heart!"

"He's afraid he's still thinking about his illegitimate daughter, and wants Xie Yan to marry her all he wants!"

Lu Shikai's words made Gu Ning's eyes widen instantly.

"He has an illegitimate daughter?"

Lu Yuanyou was only in his early thirties. If he had an illegitimate daughter, he would still be able to marry Xie Yan. This... he had a daughter when he was a teenager?

Facing Gu Ning's shocked gaze, Lu Shikai shook his head in shame: "I'm ashamed to say this, this illegitimate daughter was born to him by hanging out with a maid in the palace before Qichen's change."

"It's just that when we left the capital in a hurry, he also lost the whereabouts of the mother and daughter, but he has always believed that his daughter is not dead." Lu Shikai sighed, "Actually, our Lu family can't afford a child. "

"But his thinking like this is really dangerous." Lu Shikai said in a deep voice, "You are the person Xie Yan recognizes, and no one can replace you! Although he is Xie Yan's uncle, he can't interfere with Xie Yan's actions! What's more He even sent someone to assassinate you!"

"I went to Sichuan this time, and I have taught him a lesson. He won't be able to get off the ground for three months."

"It's just that I can't go to the ground for three months." The eldest princess's chilly words sounded at this moment, "If our Pei family's guards were not strong, I'm afraid that Ning'er would become the victim of your good brother! "

As soon as these words came out, Lu Shikai's face turned red with embarrassment.

He wished he could go back to Sichuan and beat Lu Yuanyou severely.

But Lu Yuanyou's assassination of Gu Ning is a certainty, and the matter is done, how can he refute it?

Thinking of this, Lu Shikai's eyes dimmed a little.

Is it true that because of Lu Yuanyou's stupid act, he will cut off his relationship with the Pei family for many years?For so many years, Lu Shikai has always been very grateful to the Pei family. In the most difficult time, if the Pei family had not extended a helping hand, let alone a thank you banquet, even the members of the Lu family would not have been able to keep it.

Who would have thought that his stupid younger brother, after staying in Sichuan for a period of time, actually regarded himself as the emperor of the land, and even went to assassinate Gu Ning!

Thinking of this, Lu Shikai's face turned even redder.

The eldest princess snorted coldly: "You apologized for him, but I didn't see half of his sincerity."

Hearing this, Gu Ning's face became a little complicated.

Under the strong coercion of the Eldest Princess, she cautiously raised a hand, and whispered: "Actually... it's not really insincere."

"General Lu sent all his hidden guards to me to protect me."

Although Gu Ning's voice is small, it can be heard clearly by the Eldest Princess.

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows: "Is this true?"

"Naturally." Gu Ning nodded, "I won't lie."

Princess Dachang looked at Chunyu again: "What do you think?"

"That's true." Thinking of this, Chunyu also had a complicated expression on her face, "For the sake of the county lord, there are hundreds of people in that group of hidden guards."

Not to mention the eldest princess, even Lu Shikai's eyes widened.

He knows his younger brother better than anyone else, so Lu Yuanyou is the one who is willing to help Gu Ning?

Thinking of this, Lu Shikai looked at Gu Ning with more inquiring eyes.

However, Gu Ning didn't change his face, and said as before: "Even the killers sent by the emperor were solved by the hidden guards sent by General Lu, there is no need for our people to do it."

Listening to Gu Ning's words, the Eldest Princess' eyes became more and more suspicious.

She didn't believe Gu Ning's words, but seeing that Gu Ning was still talking endlessly, she sneered in her heart, and stopped talking, quietly said: "If that's the case, then we should thank him? Thank him for saving your life?"

When Gu Ning heard this, his heart skipped a beat.

However, she quickly returned to her usual expression, and said with a smile: "He wanted to kill me, but he saved me, so it's negligible."

After hearing the words, the Eldest Princess snorted coldly, and did not expose Gu Ning, but said to Lu Shikai: "This kind of thing, just this one time, is not an example."

"If there is a next time..." The Eldest Princess sneered, "However I saved him back then, I could still kill him."

Such words are light to the eldest princess, but Gu Ning and Lu Shikai can feel her deep killing intent.

Lu Shikai's expression froze, and he said seriously: "It's natural!"

"If there is another time, without the princess doing anything, I will kill him myself, lest he tarnish the lintel of my Lu family!"

The Lu family can't keep someone like Lu Yuanyou who has no regard for the overall situation!

Hearing this, although the Eldest Princess' face did not soften, her tone became much gentler: "Of course I believe in Master Lu."

Lu Shikai came in a hurry and left in a hurry.

But Gu Ning didn't have such good luck. Seeing Lu Shikai leave, the Eldest Princess took Gu Ning to the ancestral hall.

The tablets of the ancestors of the Pei family were listed in the ancestral hall, and Princess Dachang said softly but firmly: "Kneel down!"

Gu Ning understands that he defended Lu Yuanyou today because he got into trouble with the Eldest Princess.

She knelt on the ground obediently: "Grandma, I know I was wrong."

"I see that you committed the crime knowingly." The Eldest Princess' voice suddenly turned cold, "Your mother was like this back then, defending Gu Zhiyuan in front of me! Facts have proved that Gu Zhiyuan is a hypocrite, and he is not worthy of her defense at all! "

"Grandmother, I'm not trying to protect Xie Yan." Gu Ning shook his head quickly, "I'm just thinking about the overall situation, Lu Yuanyou has tens of thousands of elite soldiers in Shu, if he turns against us because of this incident, it will inevitably affect us. The next plan."

"He's not afraid of affecting the overall situation, so why should you worry about him?" The eldest princess sneered, "Could it be that the throne is what our Pei family wants?"

Gu Ning whispered: "The main thing is that this matter has nothing to do with Xie Yan, I don't want to affect him, you don't know, what I said just now is true, Xie Yan deceived Lu Yuanyou, he deceived Lu Yuan All of You's dark guards have been sent to me, and now these dark guards are being raised in Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing."

Hearing this, the eldest princess frowned: "You didn't lie to me?"

"How dare I lie to you? It's still such a ridiculous lie." Gu Ning shook his head quickly, "What I said is true! If you don't believe it, go to Zhuangzi to see it!"

The Eldest Princess glanced at Gu Ning, Gu Ning raised his head cautiously, seeing her expression, it was obvious that he had turned the matter over for the time being.

Seeing this, Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

"Don't think it's okay." The eldest princess said in a deep voice, "When everything is settled, I want him to look good!"

Gu Ning knew that the eldest princess wanted to vent her anger on her own, so she hurriedly approached the eldest princess and rubbed her arm: "Grandmother, don't worry, when the time comes, you don't need to vent your anger on me, I will be alone People can make Lu Yuanyou miserable!"

When the eldest princess heard the words, her disbelief was evident on her face: "Why? Can you still beat him?"

"I can't beat him, but there are people in this world who can beat him." Gu Ning said with a smile, his eyes were full of sly light, "Master Lu can resist his shoulders but can't lift him, can't he teach him a lesson?"

Once the plan is successful, Lu Yuanyou will definitely return to Beijing, and by then, it will be time for her to perform, which will definitely make Lu Yuanyou miserable!

Seeing her like this, the eldest princess knew that she wanted to use Lu Shikai.

However, out of distaste for Lu Yuanyou, the Eldest Princess did not tell her old friend about Gu Ning's idea.

……

At this time, the imperial city was full of joy.

Soon it will be the emperor's 50th birthday party, and the entire imperial city will be decorated with lights and festoons, as if to dye the entire imperial city a festive red.

However, when the birthday banquet was approaching, the emperor was a little uncertain.

He frowned, and looked straight ahead.

Since the last incident, he had already sent Li Dehai to Zhaoyang Palace to serve Concubine Chen. Up to now, there is no one around him who can speak, and the shadow guards have all been killed by him. Now in the Taiji Palace, only He was the only one sitting here, he was really alone.

As soon as this idea came to the emperor's mind, his eyes became gloomy in an instant.

He slammed the teacup in his hand onto the ground, and hearing the crisp sound of porcelain shattering, the boredom in his heart dissipated a little.

Immediately afterwards, the emperor threw everything at hand to the ground.

His face was gloomy, and he was silent for a long time. He said coldly to the outside: "Thank you banquet!"

Hearing this, the palace servants outside the door immediately walked outside.

But the Taiji Hall was quiet for a moment, then the emperor's voice came to mind again: "Li Dehai has been in Zhaoyang Hall for these days, and he must have sorted out the things around Concubine Chen, and let him come back after finishing these things. "

"Yes."

The palace man who delivered the message had a solemn expression, and he admired Li Dehai very much.

There are quite a few people who were rejected by the emperor but survived, and it is the only one who can regain the favor after being rejected by the emperor!

The news that the emperor summoned Xie Yan quickly spread.

Xie Yan hadn't arrived at the Tai Chi Hall yet, and such news had already reached the ears of many aristocratic families.

The Patriarch of the Xu family was gray-haired, stroking his beard and said with emotion: "Every move of the Pei family is excellent! Their grandson-in-law is so trusted by the emperor, and the future is boundless!"

As for the Pei family, they sensed a sense of urgency from the emperor's unusual behavior.

The eldest princess made a decisive decision and let the spies in the palace move quickly.

"The emperor's stomach is full of bad water, he did this suddenly, he must have other ideas." The eldest princess said to Gu Ning in a cold voice, "I'm afraid there are other variables besides Gu Qingqiu for this birthday banquet. "
