King Jin looked deeply at Gu Mingzhu.

The pain of childbirth made the woman, who was originally radiant and rosy-faced, become thin and haggard.

With sourness in his heart, he stepped back and ordered the guards in the courtyard: "Let them go."

Shen Wan walked out of the delivery room with Gu Mingzhu in her arms and went to the back door of Prince Jin's Mansion. Mrs. Gu and the Gu family's servants stood behind her.

The midwife held the baby girl in her arms and took her away together.

Arriving at the back door, Gu's carriage slowly drove into the alley. The spacious carriage was covered with thick mats that Mrs. Gu had prepared in advance, whether they were needed or not.

Shen Wan carried Gu Mingzhu into the carriage, and the midwife put the child next to Gu Mingzhu.

Soon, the carriage drove down another path, smoothly bypassing the bustling market and heading to the West City Gate.

And the Jin Prince's Mansion was in flames.

People from all over the neighborhood came to watch.

"Prince Jin's Mansion is in trouble."

"How could Prince Jin's palace be compromised?"

Less than an hour later, news came out from Prince Jin's palace that the evil slaves of the palace pushed Princess Jin down while Prince Jin was out on business, causing Princess Jin to give birth early.

The evil slave took this opportunity to set fire to the mansion, killing one and two of Princess Jin, and perished in the flames.

When King Jin heard about this, he almost threw himself into the sea of ​​fire and wanted to go to hell with Princess Jin. Fortunately, he was pulled back by the guards. However, King Jin was too sad and could not accept the death of his beloved wife, so he cried and fainted on the spot.

……

Prince Jin's Mansion, Shaoguang Courtyard.

"Pa!" Concubine Liu rushed out of the palace, sat on the throne, and slapped King Jin on the face.

King Jin knelt in front of Concubine Liu without saying a word.

"Idiot." Liu Guifei's pretty face was full of anger, and she coldly scolded King Jin: "Tell me, you are too big. Your affair with the bitch Liu Shunu has been known to the Gu family, so tell me , Gu Mingzhu is not dead, you just let him go."

"Stupid pig." Concubine Liu lost her temper and slapped Prince Jin on the face again.

Prince Jin's body was upright, even though he was kneeling, his demeanor and clothes showed no trace of embarrassment, and his handsome face was flushed with two blushes.

He is a man who climbed up from the mud. He is not the noble man that outsiders see him. He is a man who can bend and stretch, and there is nothing to be ashamed of.

Shen Wan brought his matter to the Gu family, which was a bit big. Only the Liu family could suppress the Gu family at the moment, so she simply allowed Concubine Liu to be discouraged. After she was done, she had to clean up the mess for him.

He only needs to stay peacefully in the palace during this period and watch over the funeral of his deceased wife.

Seeing his silence, Concubine Liu became even more angry. She picked up the teacup on the table and smashed it to the ground. She pointed at Prince Jin and said, "I have warned you a long time ago. You should get rid of Liu Shunu as soon as possible." , a woman like Gu Mingzhu, as long as you treat her well, she will treat you sincerely and help you. You have just established your foundation, and all the officials in the court secretly rely on you because of your reputation. After working hard for so many years, there is finally a trace of pressure. Passed by the Shen family, Prince."

"Recently, the Shen family has been in a lot of ugliness. The prince has allowed the Shen family to do things. Your father has become dissatisfied with the prince. He is about to be dethroned. But today you are going to be destroyed in the hands of that bitch. Don't forget who brought you here." When I entered this mansion, when I selected you, I thought...you were a smart person."

When King Jin heard the next sentence, his brows trembled. He kowtowed at Concubine Liu's feet and said, "Concubine, I know I was wrong."

"You should deal with Liu Shunu properly, she is not worthy." Concubine Liu was furious: "That child..."

She hesitated for a while and weighed it again and again. The prince was not yet married and had no children. If the king of Jin got the emperor's eldest grandson first, he would undoubtedly have a better chance of winning. It would be okay to leave the mother and keep the son.

"Just stay in the palace under Gu Mingzhu's name. With the Gu family, I will ask your uncle to handle the matter. As for Gu Mingzhu... I will send someone to solve it. Don't do stupid things again."

"Yes, concubine."

Before leaving, Concubine Liu glanced at Prince Jin with complicated eyes, said "Get up" and left.

King Jin stood up, the respect in his eyes disappeared, and when he looked at Concubine Liu's back, only indifference remained.

Concubine Liu got on the carriage, her anger could not be restrained in time, her eyes were filled with anger.

Her wet nurse, Aunt Wen, persuaded her softly: "Your Majesty, although King Jin is at fault in this matter, it can also be seen that King Jin is nostalgic for his old friendship. He and Liu Shunu were from the same clan..."

When speaking of the three words "from the same clan", Nanny Wen's voice was very low: "If he is a ruthless, ruthless and unjust person, the Liu family and the noble concubine will not dare to stay. If he aspires to be crowned king in the future, the King of Jin will not dare to stay." I will think of the imperial concubine to help you and treat you well."

Concubine Liu's face lost some of her ruthlessness, and her eyes turned slightly red when she thought of her forced choice.

She subconsciously held Nanny Wen's hand: "Nanny, you go to Kufo Temple again."

"My concubine, it's useless." Nanny Wen said: "You have to send your slave four or five times every year, but every time I go back, the person is either in retreat or going out to give lectures. Listen to my slave, give up and help me." King Jin, although King Jin still depends on the Liu family, the concubine’s multitasking will easily arouse the suspicion of King Jin, which will be detrimental to the Liu family and you."

"As for..." Nanny Wen thought of the real noble son of Kufo Temple: "You have no fate with him. The relationship between mother and son is shallow, and the fate is gone. It is better to devote yourself to assisting the current King of Jin."

Concubine Liu was heartbroken, with tears hanging in her eyes, and her words were all complaints: "After all, it was because of a sinister obstacle in this palace that I allowed that thing to be unworthy of publicity..."

At this point, Concubine Liu didn't want to say any more: "It's a deal, even if I don't mention it, you go back to Liu's house and let my brother go to Gu's house in person. Besides..."

She leaned close to Nanny Wen's ear and whispered something. After hearing this, Nanny Wen's expression did not change. She nodded and said, "Yes, I will convey the noble concubine's wishes to the eldest master."

Concubine Liu Guifei leaned on the cushions, her eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

Gu Mingzhu couldn't stay.

……

Inside the carriage.

Mrs. Gu looked at the haggard and pale face of her eldest daughter, and thought of the rest of her life that would be like driftwood. The emotions she had held on for many days were crushed to the ground like straw, and she cried bitterly.

"Ah Zhu, my Ah Zhu, what should you do in the future? When you come out of Prince Jin's Mansion, Prince Jin will immediately declare that you will die from childbirth and you will not be able to return to the Gu family in the future. There will be no Gu Mingzhu in Prince Jin's Mansion anymore. What should you do?"

Thinking of King Jin's cruelty, Mrs. Gu's angry heart trembled, her unwillingness and anger lingered in her heart, and she could not let go.

She wished she could cut King Jin in pieces with a knife.

She named her eldest daughter Pearl, hoping that her life would be as bright as a pearl. However, she was covered in thick dust by the world and would never see the light of day again.

Gu Mingzhu opened her eyes weakly, smiled on her chapped lips, stretched out her hand to pull Mrs. Gu's sleeve, and said with a smile: "Mom, I don't regret it."

"I'm not willing to accept it. It was King Jin who ruined your life." Mrs. Gu cried uncontrollably.

Gu Mingzhu said: "Mom, you shouldn't think like this. You should think about it. It's a great blessing that I can escape from Prince Jin's Mansion alive. From now on..."

"Then enter my Gu family and bear my Gu family name. From now on, you will be me, Gu Yanning." Before Gu Mingzhu finished speaking, Shen Wan spoke softly.

Mrs. Gu and Gu Mingzhu both turned back to look at Shen Wan, feeling puzzled in their hearts.

What she said to King Jin...
