Chapter 220

Ye Canglan opened his mouth, but apart from the bitter taste in his mouth, he couldn't utter a word.

As the queen mother said, since he became a prince, he can no longer just be himself, he can't help himself in major events in his life, and he can't help himself in his words and deeds.

"But what if Gu Zhinian isn't Jingcheng's daughter?" Ye Canglan asked.

The queen said: "In the current situation, she has to be, if not, she has to be."

Ye Canglan knew what she meant and felt a little uncomfortable, but she had nothing to refute.

After a long silence, he closed his sore eyes, and said calmly: "Tomorrow, I will go to see Ouyang Changping and Mrs. Zeng in person."

The queen should have been happy when she heard this, but seeing her son like this, she couldn't be happier. She sighed deeply, patted her son on the shoulder, got up and left.

It's not that she is a cruel mother, but she really can't help herself. Born in the royal family, especially the first son, even if you don't fight or grab the throne, the person who sits on the throne will never let go. Prince, there is no other way to end than death.

She didn't need to say these words, her son grew up in a deep palace, and it was not all smooth sailing for him to live to this day. There was nothing he didn't understand.

But now what their mother and son are facing is not only the cruel struggle for imperial power, but also the catastrophe that the country will be destroyed. They have no choice.

The next day, Ye Canglan changed into casual clothes and left the palace after discussing with several ministers about the deployment of military supplies.

顾府
The eldest wife of the Ouyang family, Mrs. Zeng, was playing with a sword in the courtyard, and the sword energy was rampant in the small courtyard, cutting the flowers and plants in the courtyard to pieces.

After practicing a set of sword skills, Mrs. Zeng threw the sword to the maid who ran forward, took a handkerchief to wipe off her sweat, and said with a frown, "This yard is too small to use it well." Then he glanced at the yard again. Glancing at the door, he said to the maid holding the sword: "Go and invite people in."

There was someone outside the door. She knew early on that the sword could be received at any time, but why did she accept it? If someone is willing to wait, then wait.

She and Changping have lived in this Gu mansion for a while, and they have some understanding of Miss Gu's character, which really makes it difficult for her to develop a liking.

If it weren't for that letter, she would never have believed that such a woman could be the blood of the Ouyang family.

However, even with that letter, she still didn't fully believe this girl. On the surface, this matter seemed to be the same, but it couldn't stand up to scrutiny, and after a scrutiny, it revealed strangeness and doubts everywhere.

Of course, she can't say anything about this right now, she has to wait for Jingcheng to make a decision.

But now there is a war on the border, and the emperor fell ill again. I am afraid that there will be quite a lot of variables in the matter of respect and confession, so let's wait and see.

The courtyard door opened, and Gu Zhinian, who was wearing a plain dress, came in. She wore a white jade hairpin all over her body, her complexion was slightly pale, and her delicate face was haggard, which made people feel pitiful.

It is impossible for Mrs. Zeng to feel pity for such a beauty. She has practiced martial arts since childhood, and married a husband who is also a master of swordsmanship. The sons and daughters she gave birth to are all extraordinary in martial arts. Gu Zhinian was not used to such a weak and delicate girl.

"Auntie!"

That's right, Gu Zhinian has already started calling Aunt Zeng, even though Zeng has told her many times to call her Da Furen, but she just pretends not to hear her, and still calls her Aunt Zeng in her own way, as if calling her big. Auntie, her name as Ouyang's daughter can be justified.

Mrs. Zeng didn't bother to care about her, she just smiled and asked, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"

Gu Zhinian smiled, "Auntie, I learned a new snack, it looks good, I'll bring some to my aunt and second cousin."

The maid at the back came forward with the food box and lifted the lid to show Zeng.

Mrs. Zeng glanced at it and saw that it was a plate of square cakes, which looked acceptable, but she never liked sweets, and couldn't whet her appetite at all, so she smiled and said: "You have a heart."

"I heard that my aunt is from Yuzhou. A cook from Yuzhou taught me this dim sum. She said it is a unique flavor in Yuzhou. My niece thought that my aunt might like it, so she tried to learn it. One day." Gu Zhinian said.

The maid on the side hurriedly answered, "It took me a day to learn, miss has never been in the kitchen before, and this dim sum recipe is extremely complicated, miss learned it for three whole days."

Gu Zhinian gave the servant girl a sideways look, and said angrily, "Talking!"

Zeng looked at Gu Zhinian like a fool, "Who told you that I'm from Yuzhou?"
