As the Queen Mother's birthday banquet is approaching, there are more and more guests visiting Pei's residence.

In Pei's mansion, only the eldest princess brought Pei Chongfang to meet the guests.

Everyone in the capital knew that Princess Anyang's life was not long, and County Lord Changning was serving by her side, and she hadn't seen any outsiders for a long time.

Even the eldest princess, who has always been in front of Mount Tai without changing her face, always shows a look of grief when mentioning her daughter's illness.

In this way, it is even more true that Princess Anyang's condition is getting worse.

But Pei Anyang, who was rumored to be sick and about to die, was sitting in a bright room, looking at the scriptures in his hand with fascination.

As soon as Gu Ning walked in, he saw the familiar cover.

The corner of her mouth twitched, how did this script get into the hands of her mother?

Seeing Gu Ning's cold gaze, Hu Zhu lowered her head.

"Master, this is what the princess ordered." Hu Zhu whispered, "Your slaves dare not make decisions on their own."

She and Gu Ning were whispering outside, interrupting Pei Anyang's meditation long ago.

Seeing Gu Ning, Pei Anyang showed a very bright smile on his face, and looked eagerly at Gu Ning... the food box in his hand.

"What delicious food did you bring me today?"

Perhaps it was because of his illness for a long time. As soon as Pei Anyang recovered from his illness, he wanted to eat foods that he had never eaten before. Most of these foods were the signs of various restaurants in the capital, but Pei Anyang was in poor health before, and even the chef of a restaurant She can't even take a bite of the food cooked by herself.

But now she can't go out freely, so she can only pin her hopes on Gu Ning.

Looking forward to Gu Ning's arrival every day, in addition to wanting to make up for the regret of not personally raising Gu Ning in the previous 19 years, the second is to want to eat these foods.

Gu Ning put the food box on the table, and Hu Zhu arranged the dishes inside very well.

"Today I bought the dishes from Tao Tie Lou, and the braised trotter there is a must in Beijing." Gu Ning automatically picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and held a chopstick for Pei Anyang.

Pei Anyang has followed the doctor's orders for decades, and the food she swallows is incomparably light, but today she swallowed her saliva when she saw the red oily hoof.

"It's better for Ning'er to treat me better." Pei Anyang said with a smile, "With you bringing me food every day, it's worth it even if you don't go out."

Even so, there was a gleam of light in her eyes, implying expectation.

Gu Ning saw her small thoughts at a glance, and then snorted coldly: "Mother, don't forget how you got the phaseless ginseng you ate."

"Right now, everyone in the capital, including the palace, thinks that your life is not long. Because of this, no one knows what your daughter did in the Treasure Pavilion. But if you go to see your father alive and well, you may be killed tomorrow. I'm about to be arrested..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Pei Anyang immediately glared at her and stopped her from saying, "I will never let you be in danger!"

Her small thoughts were completely gone, she kept holding Gu Ning's hand, and warned: "Unless the person who poisoned me is dead, otherwise, I will never step out of the room!"

"From today onwards, don't buy those foods, or you will be seen by others, and I'm afraid you will have some reputation for being unfilial again."

Seeing that Pei Anyang was thinking about himself, the dissatisfaction in Gu Ning's heart dissipated a lot.

She waved her hand casually: "Mother, don't worry, I sent Xie Yan to buy food. He never walks through the main door, and no one will think of me."

But after hearing this, Pei Anyang was not only not relieved, but his face darkened a lot.

"Why is it a thank-you banquet again?" Pei Anyang said displeased, "Even if you like him, you should be wary of men and women!"

Although she has agreed to the matter between Gu Ning and Xie Yan by default, Pei Anyang still dislikes the two of them having too much contact. In her opinion, Xie Yan's future is uncertain. Withstand those tribulations?

Although she didn't say anything, the emotion in her eyes showed everything.

Gu Ning was secretly surprised, seeing Pei Anyang's appearance, she clearly knew Xie Yan's true identity, but she was able to keep her mouth shut in front of Gu Zhiyuan.

"Mother, don't worry!" Gu Ning raised his hand and swore, "If I..."

"Okay!" Pei Anyang interrupted her angrily, and stuffed a piece of meat into Gu Ning's mouth, "Eat it quickly, I still need to read the script after eating."

As soon as Gu Ning rolled his eyes, he felt a sense of temptation in his heart.

"I've heard this before." Gu Ning said vaguely, "Actually, what the son-in-law did is also understandable. Maybe he fell in love with the princess the first time he saw the princess. Well, that's the way to hide the truth."

Hearing this, Pei Anyang immediately put down his chopsticks and glared at Gu Ning.

"What nonsense!"

Her tone was sharp, and her face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Before Gu Ning could think of the words to answer, she saw her sternly say: "So what if there is love? He still has a wretched wife! If he abandons his wife and son to marry the princess, then his character is inferior! How can you speak for him? !"

The more Pei Anyang talked, the more angry he became, staring at Gu Ning and said: "If you do such a thing in the future, I will definitely bring family law against you!"

"Mother, I just said that casually." Gu Ning raised his hand and assured, "I have high eyesight, but I can't look down on such a man."

Hearing this, Pei Anyang glanced at Gu Ning resentfully, and muttered: "You saw a guard, and his vision is not very good."

But as she said that, a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and the plots in those scriptures appeared in front of her eyes one by one, making her pupils constrict.

Recruiting a son-in-law... recruiting a son-in-law!

Pei Anyang's complexion changed drastically, but he took care of Gu Ning who was on the side.

She managed to stabilize her mind, and said to Gu Ning in a warm voice: "I'm a little tired, I want to rest first, you go to the front hall and meet your grandmother with you."

Gu Ning read other meanings from her forced smile, but Gu Ning didn't expose it, but responded obediently.

It wasn't until Gu Ning left that Pei Anyang trembled.

"Huzhu!" She held Huzhu's hand tightly, and said through gritted teeth, "Go and find out! Who told this story!"

Seeing Pei Anyang's face, Hu Zhu's heart trembled, and she agreed without thinking.

She ran out and saw Gu Ning in front of her, and quickly shouted: "County Lord!"

Gu Ning turned around and looked at her suspiciously: "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"What you said just now has already made the princess suspicious! She even asked her servants to look up the origin of this script!" Huzhu panted heavily, her face was extremely ugly, "Why do you...why do you Deliberately reminding the princess?"

"Isn't that what my grandmother meant?" Gu Ning glanced at Huzhu, "You can't guess it, can you?"

Hearing this, Hu Zhu lowered her head in embarrassment.

Seeing that the worry in her eyes was about to turn into reality, Gu Ning comforted her again: "Look, just now, my mother's face changed drastically, and it was precisely because she noticed something strange, we must strike while the iron is hot, and try to make her completely give up on Gu Zhiyuan!"

Huzhu nodded hurriedly: "The storybook's origin..."

"Don't tell her yet." Gu Ning pondered for a while, and warned, "This matter must be done step by step, her body is just right!"

"My servant understands." Huzhu nodded quickly, "This matter, my servant will definitely not reveal it."

Gu Ning patted her on the shoulder with satisfaction, and then walked to the front hall.

Today's front hall is very deserted, no longer the bustle of the previous few days.

Gu Ning poked his head out, but saw an unexpected figure.

Sitting next to the Eldest Princess was a tall and strong old man with a gray beard.

Seeing the eyes that were slightly similar to those of the eldest uncle Pei Anlin, Gu Ning smiled and hugged his thighs: "Grandfather! Why are you back!"

Old General Pei was talking to the eldest princess with a serious face, when he heard Jiao Didi's cry, his body froze immediately.

"This is... Ning'er!" He saw Gu Ning's face clearly, he was surprised and excited at the same time.

You know, because of his cold face and his usual achievements, the younger members of the family are not close to him, and he has been guarding the border all year round. Even when he comes back, the family is very well-behaved, and there is never any laughter.

Seeing the delicate granddaughter running towards him, he narrowed his eyes with a smile, and said hastily, "Sit down quickly, don't get tired."

Pei Anlin, who was kneeling on the ground, echoed, "Ning'er, sit down quickly."

Seeing that the father and son looked exactly the same, the eldest princess put down the teacup angrily: "Ning'er, don't come by my side yet."

Seeing Gu Ning obediently standing by her side, the Eldest Princess looked at the father and son coldly and said, "If I hadn't disciplined him strictly, Ning'er would be spoiled by you and become a ignorant temper! If you are kneeling, let the junior sit down?"

Pei Anlin hurriedly apologized, but still couldn't get up from the ground.

Meanwhile, Old General Pei, who is well-known in the capital of Yan, stared at Pei Anlin, and said angrily, "It's all your fault! Not only did he fail to do a good job, but he also caused Ning'er to be punished with you!"

Pei Chongfang, who was standing at the door, looked helpless: "Grandfather, if you are punished for standing, then I will be punished for two hours today!"

Old General Pei rolled his eyes at him: "It's none of your business!"

Pei Chongfang fell silent immediately, and only Gu Ning dared to speak at this moment: "Why did my grandfather punish my uncle? Could it be that my uncle didn't take a good job?"

"That's not true." Old General Pei hastily turned his eyes to the eldest princess asking for help, "Let your grandmother explain it to you."

The eldest princess said indifferently: "It's his fault for not investigating Gu Zhiyuan well, causing your mother to suffer for so many years!"

Now, except for Pei Anyang who was kept in the dark, the entire Pei family knew about Gu Zhiyuan's poisoning of Pei Anyang.

Old General Pei's return to Beijing this time was to celebrate the Queen Mother's birthday on the surface, but in fact he wanted to take this opportunity to completely pull out Gu Zhiyuan's cancer.

Although the eldest princess didn't say it clearly, Gu Ning already knew it.

She lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and said, "Grandmother, I actually think that now is not a good time to deal with Gu Zhiyuan."

"We might as well use Gu Zhiyuan as a bait to lure the person behind the scenes." Gu Ning said in a low tone, "If we just deal with Gu Zhiyuan, wouldn't that person escape?"
