Today Xie Yan finished his official duties and waited in the palace, but did not receive any news from the Pei Mansion.
When I asked Yue Ming and Yue Rong, I learned that the door of Pei Mansion was closed today, and no one was going out.
After receiving the news, Xie Yan left the palace without thinking.
As soon as he arrived at Pei's house, he learned that Gu Ning did not want to get married.
As a result, Xie Yan couldn't help himself and came to inquire about the situation in person.
When Lu Yu heard the news, he also came to join in the fun.
But she didn't expect that Chu Shiling would suspect that Gu Ning was in love with someone else, and it was still herself.
Lu Yu and Xie Yan have been close friends for many years. In front of Xie Yan, he did not restrain himself. At this moment, his eyes were full of gloating.
"If you want to stay here all night," Xie Yan warned, "just smile brighter."
Hearing this, Lu Yu immediately closed his mouth.
However, his eyes rolled around twice, and an idea had already occurred in his mind.
In the courtyard, the two of them did not notice the arrival of Xie Yan and his party.
Gu Ning saw Chu Shiling's eyes full of doubts, took a deep breath, and then said: "Good-looking? How many men in this world are better-looking than Your Highness?"
"Although Lu Yu looks decent, he is not a good person. Haven't you seen that he always smiles when he meets everyone? The more such a person is, the more scheming he is."
After hearing what Gu Ning said, Chu Shiling hesitated for a moment and then nodded heavily: "You make sense. I also think he doesn't look like a good person."
Gu Ning glanced at her appreciatively, and after a moment lowered his voice: "He still wants to separate me and His Highness."
Hearing this, Chu Shilin's eyes suddenly widened: "That's unreasonable!"
She was extremely angry and her almond-shaped eyes widened: "You and His Highness are in love! Why should he separate you and His Highness? Besides! You have helped His Highness so much! Even if His Highness doesn't like you, he should make you the queen!" "
"I thought he was quite good-looking, but I didn't expect him to be a narrow-minded villain! I guess he is just like the Lei family. He feels that the Pei family is too powerful and is on guard against you!"
"How can such a villain know how upright the Princess and General Pei are?" Chu Shiling said angrily, "He is really hateful! If I see him, I will definitely step on his face!"
The more Chu Shiling talked, the angrier she became, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
Seeing Chu Shiling's appearance, Gu Ning coughed lightly and stopped: "Don't worry, I won't suffer any loss in his hands."
After Chu Shiling heard this, her mood calmed down a little, but the flushed face due to anger still did not dissipate.
She said in a low voice: "Since it's not his fault, then why don't you want to marry His Highness?"
"I think His Highness treats you very well." Chu Shiling whispered, "I have never seen him treat anyone so well!"
"He treats the eldest princess with respect, and treats his subordinates with dignity, but he treats you..." Chu Shiling thought for a moment and squeezed out a sentence, "It looks different!"
"You haven't seen that his eyes have been following you almost all the way back to the city!" Chu Shiling whispered, "He didn't even look at anyone else!"
"Gu Ning, don't be ignorant of your blessings!"
Hearing this, Gu Ning's beautiful eyes lowered.
Seeing that she suddenly became disappointed, Chu Shiling panicked: "I just said casually, if you don't like her, it's okay not to get married."
Meeting Chu Shiling's panicked eyes, Gu Ning held her chin up and sighed faintly: "It's not that I don't want to get married."
"I just feel that after entering the palace... there is no freedom." Gu Ning raised his chin and glanced at the sky above his head, his voice became lower and lower, "I have to be trapped in the palace all day, and I feel a little reluctant. .”
Although the Chu State did not have many restrictions on women, it was not loose enough to allow a country to show off outside.
When she thought that her good days of going out to have tea and drinks would soon be gone, Gu Ning's beautiful eyes blinked, and there were still a few tears.
Seeing this, Chu Shiling hurriedly said: "You don't have to worry too much. His Highness likes you so much. He will definitely think of a solution to both problems."
But when Gu Ning heard this, her red lips opened, but she didn't say a word.
Chu Shiling caught a glimpse of the loss in her eyes, and felt sour in her heart.
"That's right." Chu Shiling pondered, "Otherwise... you won't get married?"
When Gu Ning heard this, there was a little smile in her eyes.
Meeting Chu Shiling's confused eyes, she chuckled and shook her head: "I still have to get married, but before that, I have to negotiate good terms."
"You can't let me be trapped in the palace for the rest of my life." Gu Ning rolled his eyes, "What's the difference between that and going to jail?"
Hearing this, Chu Shiling pointed out a mistake rigorously: "You won't have a lot of palace people to serve you when you're in jail."
"I don't like being served by others either." Gu Ning held her chin and said quietly, "There are so many people walking around in front of me. It's annoying to see them."
Seeing Gu Ning's appearance, Chu Shiling snorted softly: "My mother is right, women's words are the most untrustworthy in the world. If you say you don't want to get married, you still have to enter the palace."
"What do you know?" Gu Ning pinched the soft flesh on both sides of her cheeks and said angrily, "I was forced to have no choice at that time. After all..."
"After all what?"
"That's him after all."
Gu Ning's voice suddenly became softer, and the smile in her eyes gradually became apparent.
"I'm still not used to you being so gentle all of a sudden." Chu Shiling rubbed her arms on both sides, "But I can see that as long as that person is His Highness, you will go even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead."
Gu Ning smiled, with two wisps of red clouds flying on his face.
Naturally, she couldn't tell Chu Shiling what kind of relationship she had with Xie Yan.
Even though she had deceived Xie Yan so many times, even though Xie Yan knew that her thoughts were not pure from the beginning, Xie Yan was still willing to treat her as before.
She and Xie Yan are impossible to separate.
There were dots of smiles in Gu Ning's eyes. Although she was embarrassed and uneasy about the future, she still chose to believe in Xie Yan for once.
Seeing the smile in her eyes, Chu Shiling started laughing too after a while.
"They all say you are really lucky!" Chu Shiling's eyes were a little sour, "But I think His Highness has better luck than you."
She and Gu Ning went from being disgusted with each other to becoming close friends. Naturally, she felt how much Gu Ning had paid for the Xie Banquet. Thinking of that time when she entered the palace, Gu Ning ignored the danger and risked being taken as a hostage by the deposed emperor. She was afraid that She was just trying to pave the way for Xie Yan.
As she spoke, Chu Shiling's eyes shone with tears.
Before Gu Ning could recover, she saw Chu Shiling's face with misty eyes.
She immediately took out her handkerchief and wiped away all the tears on Chu Shiling's face.
"I haven't cried yet, why did you start crying first?"
"The wedding is in ten days, and you are so reluctant to part with me?"
"I'm moved to tears." Chu Shiling said angrily, "What do you know?"
"Okay, okay." Gu Ning quickly kept silent. She couldn't offend an angry woman, especially one with Chu Shiling's unruly temperament.
Chu Shiling cried for a while, lay on Gu Ning's shoulder, and said in a slurred voice, "Since you are all going to get married, you must get married properly!"
As she spoke, she looked at Gu Ning with misty eyes: "You don't know, since His Highness returned to the capital, I heard several noble ladies talking about entering the palace as concubines!"
"I've written it all down for you!" After Chu Shiling said this, she wiped away the tears on her face. Her makeup was stained by tears. At this moment, she didn't care about her own image at all, but followed her seriously. Gu Ning analyzed: "The eldest daughter of the Zeng family, Zeng Feihong, and the eldest daughter of the Ming family, Ming Jingyi!"
"They are famous noble ladies in the capital! They are called the twin sisters of the capital!" Chu Shiling said this and became more energetic. "I heard that people who want to marry them have crossed the threshold, but they just refuse to marry!"
"Why do you think it is?" Chu Shiling asked mysteriously.
Seeing the answer clearly written on her face, Gu Ning couldn't help but roll her eyes: "It's for the thank you banquet."
"Exactly!" Chu Shiling clapped her hands and said excitedly, "You don't know! They have already been interested in His Highness! Before His Highness went on the expedition, they even went to the city gate to see him off!"
"You have to be careful!" When Chu Shiling spoke, she leaned into Gu Ning's ear and whispered, "These two are not good people!"
"The Zeng family and the Ming family are both well-known families in the capital. These two people often bully others based on their family background, especially those young ladies whose family background is not as good as theirs and who are prettier than them. Every one of them is a thorn in their side. What I know , several young ladies were disfigured by them."
"Disfigured?" Gu Ning frowned, "So vicious?"
'you do not say! "Chu Shiling nodded heavily and said angrily, "When I first heard the news, I was very surprised. Who would have thought that these two people look like everyone's ladies, but in fact they do worse things than dogs and pigs! "
"The red spots on those young ladies' faces haven't gone away yet!" Chu Shiling muttered, "Although your family background is better than theirs, your status as the future queen is enough to drive them crazy."
"You have to be careful!" Chu Shiling warned, "Don't fall into their trap!"
Chu Shiling was worried. Seeing that Gu Ning hadn't answered her yet, she couldn't help but tugged on Gu Ning's arm, "What do you think? I'd rather say something back!"
Seeing the uneasiness in Chu Shiling's eyes, Gu Ning suppressed the anger in her heart and patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, I won't fall into their trap."
"But..." Gu Ning lowered her voice, "Tell me, how did the two of them do it?"
Chu Shiling blinked and saw a hint of anger in Gu Ning's eyes, and her heart thumped: "You don't want to do justice for heaven, do you?"
"Don't mess around! There are a lot of people in the court watching you these days! I heard my mother say that once you become the queen, your every word and deed will be recorded. If anything goes a little bit out of line, If you raise it, those Yushi's excerpts will be piled up on His Highness's table."
Hearing this, Gu Ning snorted coldly: "You also know that I am the future queen, so I must investigate this matter clearly."
"The current state of Chu can't afford any unrest." Gu Ning said coldly, "Today they can use their family background to destroy a woman's appearance, but tomorrow they can do things that cost human life!"
"And..." Gu Ning lowered his voice, "If they really did these things, it might not be a good opportunity for us."
Chu Shiling's eyes widened: "What...a good opportunity?"
"What kind of good opportunity is this?"
Gu Ning glanced at her and said in a faint voice: "Of course this is a good opportunity to stabilize the government!"
"Kill a chicken to scare a monkey! Kill a chicken to scare a hundred!" Gu Ning sneered, "With the lessons learned from these two families, who would dare to do such a bully thing?"
Chu Shiling rolled her eyes, and a smile immediately appeared on her face.
"You are so smart!" She nodded sharply, "Why didn't I think of that?"
"There are traces of what Zeng Feihong and Ming Jingyi did." Chu Shiling thought for a while and whispered, "Maybe I can help you find out."
"Whose family do those injured women belong to?" Gu Ning asked again.
Chu Shiling racked her brains and thought for a long time before remembering: "They are from the Su family and the Luo family! But I don't remember the names. I'll find out for you later."
Seeing that Chu Shiling was about to leave excitedly, Gu Ning quickly grabbed her hand: "Don't worry, you don't need to be dispatched for this matter."
Hearing this, Chu Shiling frowned: "Why? You don't believe me?"
"No, no, no." Gu Ning shook her head quickly, "I don't think this matter has reached the point where I need to dispatch you! I can just let Chunyu do this little thing."
Chu Shiling glanced at Gu Ning suspiciously, but Gu Ning looked calm and showed no guilt at all.
Therefore, Chu Shiling suppressed the suspicion in her heart and whispered: "Then you have to let Chunyu inquire carefully!"
When I asked Yue Ming and Yue Rong, I learned that the door of Pei Mansion was closed today, and no one was going out.
After receiving the news, Xie Yan left the palace without thinking.
As soon as he arrived at Pei's house, he learned that Gu Ning did not want to get married.
As a result, Xie Yan couldn't help himself and came to inquire about the situation in person.
When Lu Yu heard the news, he also came to join in the fun.
But she didn't expect that Chu Shiling would suspect that Gu Ning was in love with someone else, and it was still herself.
