Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

She recalled Ouyang Xia's life story which he had told casually as if it were a story.

He looked out the window again.

She hated Yun State so much, could it be that the girl in the story was surviving here tenaciously?

If Ouyang Xia wanted to tell her something, she would naturally listen attentively, but if Ouyang Xia didn't want to say it, she would not ask.

It is not a commendable thing to peel off someone else's scabbed wound to reveal the bloody inside.

Gu Qinghe planned to help Ouyang Xia return to the prince's mansion first, but this man pushed her away and walked straight to Ming Sheng, leaning against him with his body softened.

Seeing Ming Sheng's red face, Gu Qinghe held his forehead weakly, "Please help me for a while."

This guy never forgets to be romantic even when he is drunk.

Ming Sheng didn't dare to move his eyes. He was sweating profusely in the cold weather. After he finally helped the person down the stairs, he bumped into a group of people head-on.

The leader was a burly man. He looked at Ouyang Xia with an annoyed expression, then there was a flash of surprise in his eyes, and then he looked at the three of them.

Ouyang Xia was good-looking and wore a red dress, which really attracted people's attention.

But this is not a reason for her to be coveted by others at will.

It was obvious at first glance that the man following him was very good at currying favor with the powerful. As soon as he saw his expression, he knew what he should say.

"My Lord, this girl is pretty. You don't have many concubines in your house. It would be nice to take her home and make her your concubine."

Seeing that the prince did not refuse, he immediately looked at Gu Qinghe and the others, "It is a great blessing that this girl has caught the eye of our prince. It is better to do it today than to wait for a better day. I see that this girl is not feeling well now, so why not hand her over to our prince first? Our prince will definitely not let her down."

He made the decision for the person in just a few words.

Ming Sheng's eyes were full of anger. After all, he was young and hot-tempered. He pushed Ouyang Xia into Gu Qinghe's arms and was about to punch the man twice.

Being pulled by Gu Qinghe, he shook his head at him.

This man called the burly fellow "Prince", but there were not many princes in Yun State.

The one who married Hu Xiang was one of them. Besides him, there were two others. One of them liked to travel around the world and spent very little time in this imperial city. And from Shao Wei's description, this one didn't seem like the type who would snatch someone in the street.

Then there is only one other person.

The Ninth King.

The prince who is now fighting fiercely with Lan Zhou and wants the throne both openly and secretly.

And those assassinations carried out by Lan Yu in Ruichao and the injuries on Lan Zhou must have been caused by him.

It was obviously not a good thing to move Lan Zhou out at this time. Besides, Gu Qinghe had hardly come out in the past few days, and this Prince Jiu probably didn't know their identities yet.

So she said, "Your Highness, you are joking. We came to Yun State with the Great Prince. Today, we just came out to have a drink because the Great Prince was attending a banquet in the palace. In a few days, we will follow the Great Prince back to our Huxiang."

The implication is that you can forget about even thinking about becoming a concubine.

Upon learning that they were the people of Great Prince Huxiang, the contempt on Prince Jiu's face faded a little. He looked at them again, and when he saw Ouyang Xia leaning in Gu Qinghe's arms and holding Ming Sheng's sleeve next to her, a hint of contempt flashed in his eyes.

It is indeed the style of Hu Xiangren, so frivolous and reckless.

But he was not a fool, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are the prince's men, why is your accent not related to Hu Xiang at all?"

"To be honest, we are not from Huxiang. We are just good friends of the prince..." Gu Qinghe deliberately showed some embarrassment on his face, and stammered as if he could not give an explanation.

Ming Sheng didn't know what she was going to do, but he stood in front of her and didn't let anyone get close to her.

Something flashed in the eyes of the Ninth Prince, and he waved his hands at his subordinates, "What do you mean by Lord Huxiang's people? I see this spy came from nowhere, and he clearly speaks with the accent of Rui Dynasty, but he wants to pretend to be from Huxiang, hoping to fool me. Tie them up and let me interrogate them!"

Gu Qinghe's ambiguous words made him understand immediately. What are the people of Prince Huxiang? These people were obviously the ones hiding in Prince Lan Zhou's mansion.

Now that it falls into his hands, he is not afraid of not being able to control Lan Zhou’s braid.

Ouyang Xia was still asleep, and Gu Qinghe behaved very honestly. "No need to tie her up. She's still asleep, and I won't run away. If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can just call our Great Prince over for a confrontation, and the truth will naturally come out."

Of course, Prince Jiu couldn't call anyone to confront him. What he wanted was something he could use to hold Lan Zhou accountable, not any of Prince Hu Xiang's men.

The three were locked up in the dungeon of Prince Jiu's Mansion. Ming Sheng's angry expression immediately disappeared after the servants left. He moved to Gu Qinghe's side and asked, "Sister Gu, did you do this on purpose?"

"You'll find out soon enough."

This Ninth Prince is not a good person. Although Gu Qinghe has never seen him, she has heard a lot about him from Wei Yanzhou in her previous life.

It wasn't that Wei Yanzhou told her deliberately, but she heard it when she ran into him talking with his subordinates outside his study shortly before her death.

"The Huxiang Rebellion was actually the work of the Ninth Prince of Yun State?"

"It is absolutely true. The Crown Prince of Yun State is seriously injured and unconscious. Now Yun State is also controlled by this Prince Jiu, who is in great power. In my opinion, the Crown Prince of Yun State must be doomed."

"I don't think so. It's still unknown who will win. Let's just wait and see."

Gu Qinghe didn't hear much, but the fact that the Huxiang Rebellion was the work of Prince Jiu made her think a lot.

Does this Ninth Prince have any dealings with the people of Huxiang?

Regardless of whether it was true or not, Gu Qinghe felt that Prince Jiu did not look like a good person.

If Lan Zhou were defeated and the throne fell into his hands, it might not take long for this person to focus his excessive ambitions on neighboring countries.

Rui Chao, who had just experienced a war, was undoubtedly the first choice.

No matter whether he was right or not, Gu Qinghe pursed her lips. Who made him dare to set his sights on Ouyang Xia?

Judging from his appearance, Ouyang Xia would probably vomit blood if she knew about this when she woke up.

Ming Sheng was still a little worried, "Will the prince know that we were brought here?"

"Of course, even if he doesn't know, he will find a way to let the prince know."

It’s a pity that the person who comes won’t be the prince.

As Gu Qinghe expected, the people who came to the Jiu Wang Mansion to ask for someone were the stern-faced Prince Hu Xiang and the Emperor's uncle Lan Jin who was lowering his brows and looking sad to coax his own prince.

Seeing that coaxing didn't work, Lan Jin also frowned and looked at Prince Jiu with a frown, "Why did Fourth Brother bring Rou'er's people to the palace for no reason?"

Prince Jiu knew that the eldest prince had a good relationship with Lord Huxiang, and he could not offend Lord Huxiang at this time.

So he just said to Lan Jin: "Those people are clearly spies from Rui Dynasty. You and the prince must not be deceived."
