Princess He'an had been paying attention to the movements of Gu Ning and Chu Shiling for a long time. Seeing that the two were about to leave, she followed them without any hesitation.
Due to her identity, no one dared to stop her.
However, not long after Princess Hean followed them, Gu Ning and Chu Shiling disappeared.
She was so angry that she stamped her feet on the spot.
Suddenly, Chu Shiling's faint voice sounded in her ears.
"What are you looking at?"
Princess He'an felt cold sweat pouring down her body. Her lips trembled a few times. When she was about to speak, she felt that her throat seemed to be blocked by something.
It wasn't until she saw Chu Shiling's face clearly that she changed her frightened expression.
"What are you doing?" Princess He'an scolded, "Chu Shiling, I think you are tired of living!"
However, after Chu Shiling heard this, not only was she not angry, but she hugged her chest with her hands and sneered coldly at her.
Seeing this, Princess He'an became angry and said: "Don't think that with Gu Ning as my backer, I won't dare to touch you!"
Chu Shiling suddenly heard these words, and they seemed familiar.
After thinking about it carefully, she suddenly realized that wasn't this what Princess He'an had said to threaten her over the years?Only the name has been changed.
What I told Princess An before was "Don't think that the eldest princess is protecting you."
"I'm helping you." Chu Shiling said seriously, "Look, who is that?"
After Chu Shiling finished speaking, she pointed at a pair of figures on the shore of the lake.
Princess He'an first looked at Chu Shiling suspiciously, and then looked at the lake shore carefully.
Isn't that crimson pomegranate skirt and that graceful figure none other than Gu Ning?
And the person who held Gu Ning tightly in his arms...
Princess He'an stood there blankly as if struck by lightning: "Your Highness..."
"Yes." Chu Shiling nodded, "Your Highness has come to see Gu Ning and does not want to be disturbed by other people. If you rush over at this time..."
Chu Shiling looked her up and down, then clicked her tongue and said, "I'm afraid my eyes will be gouged out on the spot."
"Nonsense!" Princess He'an said angrily, "Your Highness is not such a person!"
Chu Shiling curled her lips. Only in the hearts of a stupid woman like Princess He An who only cares about her face, Xie Yan is not scary.
After all, for Princess He'an, the most terrifying thing is not the human heart, but the ugliness of people.
Chu Shiling rolled her eyes: "If you think what I said is wrong, why not rush up now and express your feelings to His Highness!"
"Chu Shiling, don't even think about harming me!" Princess He'an gritted her teeth, "I will not be deceived by you!"
Hearing this, Chu Shiling said coolly: "If that's the case, why don't you dare to go?"
"Oh..." Chu Shiling drawled her voice, stared at Princess Hean and smiled, "You are afraid of our bet! You are afraid that you will lose!"
Princess He'an was pricked in her thoughts by Chu Shiling, her face turned green and red, but she gritted her teeth and refused to let go.
Seeing her look like this, Chu Shiling sneered a few times: "If you don't dare, you just don't dare! Why do you say it sounds so nice?"
Chu Shiling and Princess He'an were arguing, and they didn't even notice that Xu Feiyao also followed quietly at this time.
However, after discovering that the person on the shore was Xie Yan, all her thoughts were focused on Xie Yan.
however……
Xu Feiyao bit her lower lip unconsciously, with obvious tears shining in her eyes.
On the shore, not knowing what Gu Ning was talking about, Xie Yan looked at her as if he were looking at the most precious treasure in the world.
That look...
At this moment, Xu Feiyao completely understood what Master Xu said.
She lowered her eyes sadly and left in despair.
On the shore, Gu Ning didn't notice their movements. She was looking at Xie Yan who suddenly appeared in front of her in surprise.
"Why are you here?" Gu Ning grabbed Xie Yan's hand and was so excited that her eyes were full of smiles.
Seeing this, Xie Yan felt extremely soft: "I don't trust them."
Even though the person he sent was his most trusted confidant, he couldn't help but come in person because it was about Gu Ning's safety.
Hearing this, Gu Ning smiled so hard that her eyebrows curled up. She grabbed the black hair falling on her chest and said with a smile: "Then your trip was in vain, I will take care of everything."
"For now, Master Xu must be on your side." Gu Ning said with a smile.
"Thanks to Ning'er." Xie Yan carefully gathered her messy hair behind her temples, staring at Gu Ning with gentle eyes, "If not, I really don't know how to win over the Xu family."
Gu Ning snorted softly: "Don't think that I don't know. The reason why you asked me to be your lobbyist is to let the Xu family know my position in your heart."
"In this way, the aristocratic families headed by the Xu family will naturally respect me."
Gu Ning hit his mark, Xie Yan did not argue, but looked at Gu Ning with a smile as he spoke.
Seeing Xie Yanyun's calm look, Gu Ning narrowed her beautiful eyes.
Just when Xie Yan felt something was not going well, Gu Ning gently held his arm: "Your Highness, I won't come out until now. Once I come out... I will find that people who admire you are all over the capital."
"Last time it was Zeng Feihong and Ming Jingyi..." Gu Ning raised her peach blossom eyes, as if there were hooks hidden in them, and said word by word, "This time it's Miss Xu family, and Princess He'an."
"How come I didn't know before that you have such great charm, Your Highness?"
When Gu Ning spoke, he ground his teeth together, almost as if he was gritting his teeth.
But being stared at by her beautiful eyes, Xie Yan panicked.
It's strange to say that there are more people who clearly admire Gu Ning. Xie Yan has been jealous a lot. There was even a period of time when his whole person smelled of jealousy.
However, when it was his turn to make Gu Ning jealous, he panicked.
"It's all my fault." Xie Yan moved his hands very quickly and immediately wrapped his arms around Gu Ning's waist. He said in a hoarse voice, "I will completely give them up during the meeting tomorrow."
Gu Ning glanced at Xie Yan suspiciously: "How to cancel?"
"After tomorrow's meeting..." Xie Yan said solemnly, "After tomorrow, you will know."
Listening to Xie Yan's words, Gu Ning frowned and was already thinking about what method Xie Yan would use.
Early the next morning, there was a large court meeting.
As soon as Xie Yan spoke, the courtiers below panicked.
"No!"
Among them, Tang Yushi had the toughest attitude. He walked out of the queue directly, his eyes full of persistence.
"Your Highness! You are in the prime of life and should continue to produce heirs for the royal family!"
As soon as Tang Yushi's words came out, Pei Anlin's sneer resounded throughout the court.
"Mianyan's heir?" Pei Anlin said with all malicious intent, "What does Tang Yushi think of His Highness?"
Tang Yushi realized that he had made a mistake and his face turned red.
But his attitude was unprecedentedly resolute: "Abolition of the harem is something that has never happened since ancient times!"
"What's more..." Tang Yushi glanced at Pei Anlin coldly, "The person you want to make a queen has a special status!"
"Your Highness! You must prevent your relatives from interfering in politics!" Tang Yushi said bluntly, "The Pei family is powerful. If someone from the Pei family becomes the queen, wouldn't it... wouldn't it be giving up the country of Chu?"
Tang Yushi's attitude was extremely resolute. Even though Pei Anlin's face grew darker and darker beside him, he always insisted on his opinion.
However, the biggest obstacle ahead of him was not Pei Anlin, but Xie Yan.
Xie Yan was sitting on the dragon chair, with no expression on his handsome features.
"This is my business." Xie Yan said, "If there are too many people in the harem, it will only disturb the peace in the front court."
"There are a lot of 72 concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards of the deposed emperor, and the Jiang family is not honest." Xie Yan's voice was calm, but the Tang Yushi could clearly read the sarcasm on his calm face, "It's not just the Jiang family, Have you forgotten that the Wei family, Ma family, and Yang family poisoned the deposed emperor?"
Hearing this, Tang Yushi opened and closed his mouth: "Your Highness! This is different!"
"Princess Changning has a special status! If you give her any more preference, it will only make her proud! By then..."
"Your Highness!" Pei Anlin strode out of the queue with an elephant in his hand and his eyes were firm, "I have something to report!"
Seeing Pei Anlin, Tang Yushi had a bad intuition and shouted: "You have bad intentions!"
"You and the eldest princess have hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in your hands! If you give up again..."
"Your Highness, please take back the tiger talisman!" Pei Anlin knelt on the ground and raised the tiger talisman that he had hidden on his chest with one hand.
"Now that the country is secure, I can enjoy myself in peace!"
Pei Anlin's actions caused the entire court to fall into silence.
Everyone's eyes were looking at Pei Anlin and the tiger talisman in his hands from time to time. What Xie Yan said just now about abolishing the harem was not worth mentioning before Pei Anlin took the initiative to hand over the tiger talisman.
Everyone knows that the Pei family has most of the military power, so no matter where they are, they must be looked down upon.
Even if the civil servants no longer look down on the rudeness of military generals, they have to admit that only those with military power can better gain a foothold in the court and allow the family to continue better.
However, Pei Anlin took the initiative to hand over the tiger talisman today. Doesn't he know what this means?
Some people even had gloating in their eyes, thinking that if Pei Anlin handed over the tiger talisman, the Pei family would definitely face Xie Yan's iron-blooded tactics.
Once a general loses military power, he will be inferior to others!
Just as they were thinking about this matter, Xie Yan spoke up: "General Pei, if the tiger talisman is in your hands, I can rest assured."
"Of these hundreds of thousands of troops, only the Pei family can sit safely in the court."
In an instant, the entire court became silent, and you could hear a pin drop.
Everyone was stunned and couldn't believe what they heard.
The civil servants all looked shocked, but the generals' eyes turned red because of Xie Yan's words.
Tang Yushi's lips moved a few times, and he murmured: "No! Your Highness! No!"
He was so excited that he rolled his eyes and fainted.
Seeing Tang Yushi fainted in the court hall, Pei Anlin winked at the people around him.
The generals were all tall and tall, and they pushed aside the civil servants who wanted to rush over.
"Let it go! Let it go!"
Due to her identity, no one dared to stop her.
However, not long after Princess Hean followed them, Gu Ning and Chu Shiling disappeared.
She was so angry that she stamped her feet on the spot.
