Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain

Chapter 12: A Catch of the Housekeepers in the Back House

Gu Lintan frowned and thought for a moment.

Seeing Jiang Yu and Jiang Xue staring at him, they immediately turned to Huang Fu and said: "Don't whisper in front of your two highnesses, just report it directly."

Huang Fu knelt down in fear and said, "Yes, it was the old slave who committed the crime."

Jiang Xue said: "Uncle Huang, what is it? Can't you tell me that I know about it?"

Huang Fu looked at Gu Lintan and then at Jiang Xue.

Gu Lintan said: "Just report it directly to the princess."

"Your Highness, Dr. Yan came to visit you this morning and asked to see Your Highness. He said that he had specially prepared medicine for the pulse condition he asked you for this morning."

Yan Zhe has news so soon?

Jiang Xue squinted her eyes. This man was very strange. She didn't know what his intentions were with his repeated advances.

It was clear that what he had promised in the morning was to come back in five days, but he was here now.

Although he himself said that he did not know Gu Lintan, it is not impossible to say that this person was sent by Gu Lintan to test her.

If this is the case, I am afraid that Gu Lintan already knows the question I asked him this morning.

Jiang Xue thought to herself, we’ll talk about it first.

She asked Huang Fu: "Since you came here to find me, why don't you repay me directly?"

Huang Fu murmured: "Old slave, I thought that this person is a foreigner after all, so I reported it to the master first, and then the master arranged for him to meet the princess..."

"Oh?" Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Lintan, "The emperor's sister has no right to see outsiders in this Prince Consort's Mansion?"

"I don't dare." Gu Lintan stood up and bowed, "Huang Bo has just arrived in the capital not long ago, and he is not familiar with the affairs of serving the princess. It is really my discipline that has been neglected."

"It seems that the Queen Mother insisted on letting the imperial sister bring the palace people back to the palace, which is really foresight."

Jiang Yu sat, gently stroking the edge of the teacup with his fingers, showing his composure without getting angry.

"Although the consort has talents that are unparalleled in the government and the public, it seems that he is not very proficient in handling housework."

"It's my fault." Gu Lintan quickly apologized.

"The imperial sister is Princess Daji Changle first, and your wife second. Even if the princess is willing to be confined to the house, she is still her king and your subject in this Prince Consort's Mansion."

"The steward of the Gu Mansion is so ignorant. From now on, he will only be responsible for your daily life, my consort. From now on, other affairs of the Gu Mansion will be taken care of by Xiaochun, with Fudong assisting."

As soon as Jiang Yu said this, Huang Fu was dumbfounded, and Gu Lintan was also very unhappy in his heart.

Even if he is a prince, what right does he have to take care of the minister's affairs?

Jiang Xue suddenly said leisurely: "Although Brother Huang is thinking about this palace, you should directly intervene in the affairs of the Prince Consort's house for fear of any inconvenience."

"I came to the Gu Mansion today to have a look at my mother, Empress Yi," Jiang Yu said with a smile, "Seeing that there were some ignorant servants, I was afraid that the Gu Mansion would break Princess Shang's rules, so I assigned them to you."

He looked at Gu Lintan, "If your consort feels something is wrong——"

"There is nothing wrong with it." Gu Lintan said loudly, his words were respectful. "What the second prince said is true. The people in the palace must be more reliable than the private servants in the Gu family. I dare not let the queen and your highness down."

He looked at Huang Fu and said, "You go down first. I will leave the housekeeping duties to Miss Xiaochun these days."

Huang Fu shook his head and nodded in agreement.

"The prince-in-law understands the righteousness and is extremely respectful. I believe that my father, the emperor and his mother will feel more at ease in the future." Jiang Yu picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea.

"Uncle Huang, go and invite Doctor Yan to Chaolu Pavilion. I will go see him."

Seeing that the matter was settled, Jiang Xue asked Huang Fu to invite Yan Zhe.

"This is because one of my concubines has some weakness, so I can just go see him alone. There is no need for my consort to accompany me."

Gu Lintan's hands hidden in his sleeves clenched into fists, but his face remained calm.

"Okay." He said.

Jiang Yu asked: "I haven't returned to Beijing for many years. I didn't expect to see you today, but your face is pale and your steps are sloppy."

Jiang Xue had a headache, and it seemed that the imperial brother was bound to follow him.

Sure enough, Jiang Yu continued: "Let's go over together and listen. These wandering doctors don't know whether they are really skilled in medicine. If the symptoms are serious, I will send someone to send the imperial doctor to auscultate you."

Jiang Xue couldn't refuse in front of Gu Lintan, so she could only say: "Then please forgive me, brother Huang."

When Gu Lintan saw this, he said: "I will go back to the study first, and then I will invite your two highnesses for dinner."

He thought for a while, but it seemed that he had not done enough, so he walked to Jiang Xue and said softly:

"If you are really feeling unwell, princess, don't hold on with all your strength, call me to take care of you."

Jiang Xue was a little averse to the cold, so she asked him to take care of her. She didn't know if she would be exposed one day, and she was afraid that she would die again.

She endured her disgust and said, "Okay, Prince Consort, please be at ease."

The brother and sister walked towards Chaolu Pavilion. Before leaving, Jiang Xue once again told Huang Fu that the dishes he asked the kitchen to prepare must be in line with the emperor's taste.

Huang Fu didn't dare to delay, so he immediately retreated to deal with it.

Gu Lintan was left standing alone in Wen Qingxuan, his face uncertain.

"Are you really feeling unwell?" Jiang Yu asked as he stopped on the corridor after walking a few steps.

Jiang Xue said: "It's just that I was tired from working hard for the wedding a few days ago."

"Ordinary fatigue, do you need the doctor to come twice a day?"

"No, it's not because of my illness." Jiang Xue couldn't laugh or cry. Seeing that she couldn't keep it secret, she had to tell the truth.

"This man knows something about Gu Lintan. I came to him for questioning." She whispered, "Originally, I asked him to come back in five days, but somehow he came now."

"Is this person reliable?" Jiang Yu knew that she didn't want to say more, so he didn't go into details.

"Reliable or not..." Jiang Xue pondered for a while and shook her head.

"I don't know yet."

"Do you know his origin?" Jiang Yu asked.

"It hasn't been found out yet..." Jiang Xue's voice became softer.

"You use a person whose origins you don't know and whose reliability you don't know to question Gu Lintan?" Jiang Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

"I'm not asking Gu Lintan. Gu Lintan asked him to treat someone. The identity of that person is very important to me."

Jiang Xue said: "I also know that this is inappropriate, but I really only have this one clue at the moment."

She was in panic last night and stayed up all night. This was the only straw she could grasp. Even if it was risky, she had to do it.

"Besides, when I see him, I always feel a little familiar." Jiang Xue said doubtfully, "I just can't remember where I saw him."

"Is he from the palace?" Jiang Yu asked.

"I can't remember clearly. Besides, the people I know are not limited to people in the palace." Jiang Xue stuck out her tongue, "When I was young, my brother took me out of the palace to play quietly many times -"

"Maybe we had a relationship outside the palace," Jiang Xue said, "It's not important. I have to go see him first."

Jiang Yu had no choice but to follow her footsteps.

When they arrived at Chaolu Pavilion, Yan Zhe was nowhere to be seen.

Jiang Xue slapped her head: "I forgot that I asked Huang Fu to buy dinner just now. I guess I will send him a message now."

Jiang Yu smiled and said, "Don't be impatient. Sit down and rest for a while. Look at your dark eyes. You didn't sleep at all last night, right?"

Jiang Xue could only sit down obediently.

Jiang Yu looked around Chaolu Pavilion. The decoration in the pavilion made him feel a little familiar.

Not long after, a green figure walked into the pavilion.

Jiang Yu heard the footsteps and turned around to meet Yan Zhe.

Yan Zhe was slightly stunned.

Jiang Yu tentatively asked: "He Zhilin?"

Yan Zhe opened his mouth slightly, looked at Jiang Yu, and saluted helplessly.

"I have met His Highness the Second Highness."

Jiang Yu's voice suddenly increased.

"It's you?!"
