Reborn imperial concubine

The cage was quiet and silent, but Gu Sheng's breathing was clearly audible in the empty dark passage.

The phrase "Second Miss of the Gu family" also swayed out of the cell and slipped into Gu Sheng's ears, like spring thunder.

Gu Sheng's heart suddenly reached his throat, and the blood of his limbs and bones seemed to rush into his chest in an instant, his hands and feet were so stiff that he felt cold, and he choked in his throat for a long time before he tremblingly said: "Your Highness...help..."

Gu Sheng obviously needs comfort more than the prisoners in the prison.

His Highness Jiu hurried out upon hearing the sound, and saw that Ben Budu was so frightened that he could not turn his neck, so he hurriedly stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.

The extreme fear lasted for a long time. Gu Sheng could only see the slightly raised lips of the little scum in front of his eyes. From time to time, he opened and closed his thin lips to speak, but Gu Sheng couldn't hear a word of what he said, because there was a burst in his ears. There was a roar like thunder.

Her body remained as stiff as a stone sculpture, and the little scum coddled and hugged her... and took the opportunity to lick her cheeks twice.

Gu Sheng finally regained his composure, and complained with his mouth curled up, "Who is that person in there? Don't scare me..."

Jiang Chenyue raised her chin to look at her, and explained earnestly: "Gu told you before that the woman is not dead, she just deliberately pretended to be a ghost to provoke you."

Gu Sheng's head was stuck for a moment, and he frowned and said, "You brought her here? Why didn't you tell the servant earlier!"

The little scum raised his brows and said helplessly, "I'm afraid you'll be scared like this."

Gu Rao was kept in prison by His Royal Highness Nine. She couldn't continue to make trouble, and she couldn't die. It would save Gu Sheng from becoming a real ghost, and there was no need to let her know.

But after a few months, Gu Sheng started to have nightmares again. His Royal Highness thought that her mind was still on the matter of seeing ghosts, so he decided to bring her to see the living.

If you were in the mansion and told her frankly that you were going to see Gu Rao, your stupid companion would probably be too frightened to go out, so you might as well go to the prison door and then fire your weapon and cut the mess quickly.

Unexpectedly, when they reached the door, Gu Sheng didn't dare to go in, and dragged His Highness Ninth Prince to clamor to go back to the mansion.

After all, she didn't have the hard-heartedness of Aunt Shen and Gu Rao, and she couldn't imagine what it would be like to be locked in this dark dungeon for several months.

The crime of living is more difficult than the crime of death, even if it is killed.

In the end, it was Gu Rao who was in the prison who spoke first: "Who is that outside? Is that bitch wanting to see my jokes?"

Gu Rao's voice was already hoarse and hard to distinguish, but it still carried the familiar hostility, and an annoying chill passed over Gu Sheng's body.

Before she could respond, there was a loud slap from the cell door, and Gu Rao's sobs also overflowed.

After the guard slapped her, a threatening voice resounded: "Don't be disrespectful to the princess!"

Gu Rao's weak sobs finally made Gu Sheng calm down, and the fear in her heart gradually dissipated. She took a deep breath and walked into the cage——

The scene inside is not as bleak as imagined. There are obviously guards in the cage who will take care of it every day, and the surroundings are not messy. There is only a tray of leftovers at the prisoners' feet, which are obviously still fresh.

Gu Rao's ankles were handcuffed with thick iron chains, he was wearing a prison uniform, and his hair was loose. He was down and out but not dirty. There was no external injury, only five fresh red fingerprints floating on his cheeks, which were just rewarded by the guards. hand.

The only thing that hasn't changed is those bewitching eyes. The way she stared at Gu Sheng didn't change the spiteful look from before.

"I didn't expect to see you again." Gu Sheng said calmly.

Gu Rao sneered: "You don't need to get complacent too early, King Cheng'an will come to rescue me soon! Oh, no, it's the future emperor, the emperor will come to rescue me personally, and then kill you all one by one. !"

Gu Sheng followed her with a smile: "No one will come to save you, it's impossible to get out, if you want to die, I can ask His Highness for mercy for you."

"Don't scare me!" Gu Rao pointed at Gu Sheng and cursed, "You bastard, if you dare to kill me, why bother to provide me with delicious food and drink? Heh, it's not because I'm afraid that King Cheng'an will find out about me. The whereabouts! At that time, none of you will be able to escape!"

Gu Sheng lowered the corner of his mouth, and said coldly: "Gu Rao, I came to see you because I want to hear you solemnly apologize to my mother and me, as long as you are sincere in repentance, I can still give you a good time.

Since you are still dreaming of someone coming to save you, then you can wait slowly and taste what it is like to die of old age in this dark hell! "

Gu Rao's eyes were wide open, his facial features shifted in anger, and he yelled at her: "You bastard! Isn't it just to become a super-rank prince? You will have something to worry about in the future! That day at I have seen the hunting grounds, and that princess from a foreign race has also taken a fancy to Prince Luo, right? When she marries into the mansion, how long can you keep her favor?!"

Gu Sheng nodded, "You don't need to worry about it for a long time, let's just wait and see, don't worry, before you die, I will definitely bring Prince Luo to see you off."

After speaking, he got out of the cage without looking back, ignoring Gu Rao's bursts of cursing behind him.

After the Ninth Princess left, bursts of loud applause resounded through the cage again, and Gu Rao's venomous cursing stopped abruptly, and gradually turned into a plaintive begging for mercy.

After going through this confrontation, the fear deep in Gu Sheng's heart was finally eradicated, and he devoted himself to the task of protecting His Highness the Ninth Prince, and began to prevent His Highness the Ninth Prince from visiting Concubine Xi.

**

After several invitations were rejected, Concubine Xi was in panic all day long in the palace, and finally at the beginning of autumn, she got news from His Highness Nine again.

But I got the news from Jiang Han——

It was a thin letter paper with only two simple greetings written on it, and it was a special trip to greet her and the eighth princess.

It was indeed His Highness Ninth Prince's handwriting.

This kind of letter paper is also common, but what is unusual is why the Second Highness personally handed it to her instead of the chief attendant of Prince Luo's residence entering the palace to deliver the letter?

For this, Jiang Han did not disclose the reason.

Concubine Xi was inconvenient to ask further questions, she thought that the personal relationship between the Second Highness and the Ninth Highness remained the same, and there was nothing wrong with carrying a letter for the Ninth Highness when she was in the palace on business.

However, this kind of communication continued for three or five times, and Concubine Xi was told by Jiang Han not long after that the correspondence must not be spread outside.

Concubine Xi became more and more confused, why can't the letter be passed on to the public?She finally couldn't hold back anymore and asked Jiang Han why.

Jiang Han seemed to have something hard to say, he talked about him from left to right, rejected him several times, and finally, under Concubine Xi's impatient questioning, he withdrew the attendant and secretly confided the "truth" to her——

"It was Princess Nine who didn't allow Ah Jiu to visit you in the palace, so Ah Jiu had to ask me to deliver the letter to you in private."

Concubine Xi was extremely surprised by this answer——

She has always felt that Gu Sheng is a kind child, and she is very caring for her daughter. Every time she visits the palace, Gu Sheng will carefully prepare a bunch of surprises to make the eighth princess happy. What reason does she have to prevent Ah Jiu from coming? To visit their mother and daughter?

"How is this possible?" Concubine Xi looked at Jiang Han with doubts in her eyes: "Your Highness is saying that Ah Sheng is unwilling to contact our mother and daughter?"

Jiang Han watched her calmly, shook his head, his eyes carried an inexplicable meaning.

"Then why?" Concubine Xi frowned and said urgently: "Your Highness, don't betray me!"

Jiang Han sighed heavily, and said helplessly, "I'm afraid of making my mother sad if I say it. After all, the ninth princess is young, and the twisted girl's mind is too vivid, and she takes too much care of Ah Jiu. You see, the princess of Xijiang begged I want to marry into Ah Jiu's house, but now I can't even see Ah Jiu..."

Jiang Han's words stop at the end, and the remaining "meaningful" is for Concubine Xi to experience for herself.

What he said was not cryptic, it clearly meant that Gu Sheng was jealous, meaning "His Highness the Ninth Prince refused to marry Princess Xijiang as his side concubine, the problem actually lies with the Ninth Princess."

Then, it's not hard to guess if this matter has anything to do with His Highness Ninth Prince's inability to see Concubine Xi.

Concubine Xi was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that it was Gu Sheng who deliberately prevented His Royal Highness from visiting the palace!

"This girl is so stupid!" Concubine Xi was furious, she jumped up against the table, and yelled, "No matter what I say, I can be regarded as the concubine of His Highness the Ninth Prince! At this age, how can I say that to a young child?" Dirty thoughts can't work!"

Jiang Han hastily stepped forward to comfort him: "Your Majesty, don't get angry."

How could Concubine Xi not be angry, the reason why she wanted to curry favor with His Highness the Ninth Highness was because she had hoped to spend her old age peacefully by relying on the Super Rank Emperor.

The second is because her daughter was ordered to come back by His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince, which also deepened her trust in Jiang Chenyue.

The last reason is because she joined hands with the queen in the past two years to persuade the emperor to make His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince the heir apparent, which has basically been accomplished. Now that she is on the bandit ship, she will naturally want to stabilize this future big backer.

As for the nasty relationship that Jiang Han hinted at, Concubine Xi felt her hairs stand on end just thinking about it, and was extremely annoyed at Gu Sheng's inexplicable frame-up.

Thinking of Gu Sheng's initiative to visit the palace several times in the past few months, and even apologizing to her mother and daughter for His Highness the Ninth Prince who "can't spare time", Concubine Xi was furious.

I didn't expect this girl to be so scheming at such a young age!

Concubine Xi tossed and turned every night, hating Gu Sheng more and more day by day, but felt panic and despair at His Royal Highness's alienation.

She took great pains to promote His Highness the Ninth Prince to the position of crown prince, but the future empress has such a grudge against her. After the new emperor ascends the throne, how will she gain a foothold?

Concubine Xi was heartbroken.

After thinking about it, she made a decision that was completely different from Jiang Han's expectations—she would work harder to serve His Highness the Ninth Prince in exchange for the other's trust with sincerity.

Concubine Xi expressed her loving heart in every possible way in her reply letter, weeping blood every word, but she took great pains to conceal it.

There were more than a dozen sheets of a letter, and when it was handed to Jiang Han, they were so bulging that they couldn't fit into the armhole.

It's a pity that her letter did not fall into the hands of His Royal Highness Nine.

From the very beginning, all the letters were forged by Jiang Han.

Jiang Chenyue's handwriting was taught by Jiang Han. By the age of 13, it was basically finalized. No matter how to improve it in the future, Jiang Han can copy it with ease.

Jiang Han originally just wanted to provoke the relationship between Concubine Xi and Jiang Chenyue, trying to manipulate Concubine Xi and let her work for him.

But he didn't expect that this woman would be so loyal to Jiang Chenyue.

"Even a concubine is devoted to that little bastard." Jiang Han secretly hated, sitting in the study with his eyes closed.

Gu Sheng's insults that day echoed in his mind again——

Jiang Han's phoenix eyes suddenly opened, and he couldn't suppress his desperate anger any longer. His thin lips were drawn into a straight line like a knife, and he grabbed Concubine Xi's reply letter. He was about to tear it up, but his hand stopped again.

She lowered her eyes and read the contents of the letter carefully again, her eyes suddenly froze, and a plan arose in her heart.

Under the swaying candlelight, Jiang Han's dark pupils flashed a hint of unbearable, after all, she was the younger sister who was raised by her own hands, and she is not yet an adult, so it would be too cruel to do so.

But after thinking about it, it was Jiang Chenyue who took away everything that belonged to her without paying any price, so she deserved to be taught a lesson.

Having made up his mind, Jiang Han re-examined Concubine Xi's reply letter, and then personally polished the ink and picked up the pen, carefully forging a reply letter.
