Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Zuixian Tower.

In the private room, Jixiang asked Gu Qianhan: "Sir, it's already midnight, why don't you return home? Zhu Cui, who is with Madam, has come to urge you twice."

Gu Qianhan seemed not to hear his words, and asked on his own: "Did you keep the thousand taels of gold that I asked you to put into the warehouse last time?"

Jixiang was confused: "I have put it away. Why do you suddenly ask this, young master?"

"Tell someone to take it out."

"Ah? Sir, you are not going to give it to Chu Yanluo, are you? Didn't you say that this gold is yours?"

"It's mine, so I'm going to give it away."

"Who are you going to give it to?"

"Give it to Xiao Qingyuan."

Jixiang was confused: "Why did you give Prince Xiao 1,000 taels of gold for no reason? Today you robbed his beloved woman and beat him up. Given his temper, it would be useless if you gave him 1,000 taels of gold. He would definitely have someone throw it out for you."

Gu Qianhan said calmly: "No, now Xiao Qingyuan has no say in Ning Wangfu. Even if he wants to throw it away, he has to ask the other person if he agrees."

Jixiang's mind became clear again: "You mean, his Crown Prince's Consort? You are not going to give gold to his Crown Prince's Consort under the guise of giving gold to Crown Prince Xiao, are you?"

Gu Qianhan didn't comment. He looked at the lights outside the window, his voice full of inexplicable emotion: "When Xiao Qingyuan beat me, he went to the Gu family the next day with generous gifts to apologize to me. I've seen all those things. They are valuable and practical. They can be collected and sold. They are all ingenious. So, Xiao Qingyuan didn't pick them. Someone else picked them."

Jixiang: "Did the Crown Prince's Consort pick it?"

"Xiao Qingyuan apologized to me, so I should apologize to him as well. You should go back to the mansion now. Except for the 1,000 taels of gold, prepare a new list based on the things Xiao Qingyuan brought, and send everything to Prince Ning's mansion tomorrow morning."

Jixiang: "You... paid too much, didn't you? It's one thousand taels of gold more than what Prince Xiao paid! Is it because you robbed Chu Yanluo, so this thousand taels is the money to redeem her?"

Gu Qianhan looked indifferent: "She is worthless."

"Ah? Then you will pay an extra 1,000 taels of gold?"

"I took Chu Yanluo away, and I was lucky enough not to ask Xiao Qingyuan for money. How could I possibly pay him an extra 1,000 taels of gold?"

Gu Qianhan's fingers touched the sachet around his waist.

The hard touch of the medicine bottle in the sachet brought a hint of warmth to his cold heart.

Jixiang saw his action and suddenly realized: "This gold is for you to thank the Crown Prince's wife?"

But, this young master is too wasteful. The Crown Princess gave him a small bottle of ointment, and he paid her back one thousand taels of gold. If you don’t know, you might think that the bottle contains some elixir!

The Crown Princess' ointment is indeed effective, but it is not worth one thousand taels of gold!

Gu Qianhan naturally knew what the servant was thinking, but he said nothing.

He really wanted to thank Shen Wantang, but he was thanking her not only for the ointment that Shen Wantang gave him in this life, but also for the medicine in his previous life that ended all his pain and brought him rebirth.

He needed more than a thousand taels of gold to pay back that pill.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Jixiang knew that he had made up his mind, so he left Zuixianlou and went back to the Duke's Mansion to do what he had asked.

Half an hour later, Jixiang came back: "Sir, everything you ordered has been prepared. The gifts can be sent to Prince Ning's Mansion tomorrow morning."

"gold?"

"It's ready. Two thousand and two cents a piece."

Gu Qianhan nodded: "That's good."

Jixiang could figure out that although the young master said he was going to apologize to Prince Xiao, in fact he mainly wanted to give the one thousand taels of gold to the Prince's wife, and the things he gave to Prince Xiao as compensation were just incidental.

Gu Qianhan held the wine glass, looking at the wine inside but not drinking it. After a while, he instructed the servant: "Jixiang, tomorrow you find time to tell my eldest brother that I listen to my aunt the most. Let my eldest brother go to my mother, and then let my mother go to the palace to cry to my aunt. It would be best if my aunt also went to the emperor to cry and accuse me, saying that I want to keep a concubine and lose my dignity."

Jixiang was stunned: "Second Master, aren't you just putting on a sly eye? Are you drunk and dizzy? No, you're not drunk!"

The wine on the table was the same as when he left and when he came back.

"What do you know? Can you survive without eye drops?"

"What do you mean? What do you mean by survival? Who wants the Second Young Master's life?"

Naturally, it was the current emperor, the future emperor, and the current crown prince. They not only wanted his life, they also wanted the lives of everyone in the Gu family.

Of course he couldn't tell the truth, so Gu Qianhan just replied to the servant: "No one wants to kill me for now, I'm just preparing for a rainy day."

"But……"

Jixiang said with a sad face: "If the Queen goes to the Emperor to cry, you will inevitably be summoned to the palace to be scolded. Last time you knelt in the palace for a whole night and your knees were swollen. Have you forgotten?"

"I didn't forget."

Gu Qianhan lowered her long eyelashes to hide the emotions in her eyes: "I just want to be scolded by the emperor, and I just want to be punished to kneel down."

Jixiang scratched his head. It was really strange. Someone was looking for trouble? Why was his son acting so abnormal these days?

"Sometimes, having too good a reputation is not a good thing. The Gu family is too prominent and has become too powerful. It's time to destroy the Gu family's reputation."

Only in this way will the emperor feel at ease.

Jixiang didn't understand what the young master did, but he knew that the young master was very talented and he must have his reasons for doing so.

"Don't worry, sir. I will go find the eldest sir tomorrow and ask him to apply eye drops to you."

In the following period of time, Gu Qianhan met several groups of people one after another.

Even Jixiang didn't know the content of the conversation, he was only responsible for guarding the door outside.

When it was slightly light, Gu Qianhan came out and said, "Jixiang, go back home."

"Yes, son."

After returning to the Duke's Mansion, Gu Qianhan woke up after only one hour of sleep: "Good luck!"

Jixiang was on guard in the outer room. When he heard the voice, he jumped up and walked into the inner room with two big dark circles under his eyes: "Young Master?"

"Pack up, it's time to go to Prince Ning's Mansion."

Jixiang was stunned: "Sir, are you still going to go in person? Won't you take a nap?"

Gu Qianhan stood up and said, "Of course I should go in person to apologize."

He walked out of the inner room, washed his face, changed his clothes, tidied his appearance, and then stepped out of the yard.

Jixiang looked up at him and saw that his fair skin was glowing with a healthy and lustrous luster in the sunlight, and he still looked like an indifferent nobleman.

They both didn't sleep the whole night and only managed to make up for an hour's sleep. He had dark circles under his eyes and looked listless, but the young master didn't have any dark circles at all and was still as energetic as ever.

It’s so unfair. It’s fine that the young master is so handsome and smart, but how come he is also so good at staying up late?
