famous eldest daughter

Chapter 136 Returning to the Palace
His arms were drooping, his fists were clenching, his thin lips were tightly pursed into a resolute thin line, and his face was livid.

Xiao Yu has never felt as useless as he does now.

At this moment, Xiao Yu desperately wanted to marry Gu Yuqing back to his home, take care of her and protect her openly, and prevent her from being harmed.

After sending the imperial doctor away, Concubine Hui looked at her son's hurt and angry look, and sighed in her heart, "How about I mention it like the emperor, and you can get married after she is old enough."

Xiao Yu flatly refused, "Mother Concubine, what I'm about to do is extremely dangerous, and the more I get to the end, the more I want swords and swords. How can I let her follow me to take this dangerous risk? Let's wait."

Concubine Hui sighed silently, "That's the case, don't stay any longer. When she wakes up, I'll have someone take her back." After speaking, Concubine Hui paused and emphasized her tone, "No matter what, Your Majesty You don’t want to get involved in how to deal with the eldest princess.”

An angry look appeared in Xiao Yu's eyes, and his clenched fist dropped hatefully on the table beside him, "She is the legitimate daughter of the father, and she is protected by the queen. No matter how severe the punishment is, it is nothing more than being grounded and copying scriptures. What else can happen!”

After the voice fell, the room fell silent for a while, and the incense of water burning in a cloisonné enamel incense burner curled up, profusely, adding a heavy weight to the silence.

Concubine Hui looked at Xiao Yu with distressed eyes and said softly: "You must not have been dormant for so many years because of..."

"I know, Concubine Mother doesn't need to give me any more instructions." Xiao Yu interrupted Concubine Hui, took a deep breath, and exhaled, "I'll leave this place to Concubine Mother. If I stay any longer, people will inevitably gossip."

After staring at Gu Yuqing reluctantly for a moment, Xiao Yu turned around and left resolutely, even though his heart felt like it was being beaten with an iron whip.

By the time Gu Yuqing returned to Chinanhou Mansion from the palace, dusk was already getting darker.

After drinking the medicine and holding a candied fruit handed over by Ruyi in his mouth, Gu Yuqing leaned on the pillow behind him and asked Ji Xiang, "Why is the Fourth Prince gone?"

Mentioning Xiao Yu, Gu Yuqing couldn't help but feel red in her ears and ripples in her heart.

Ji Xiang immediately said: "This slave was going to seek help from the Queen Mother according to the young lady's instructions, but she happened to meet His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince on the way. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was walking with Prince Dong at that time. The two of them looked as if they were looking for something and were very worried. of."

"When he saw the slave, His Highness the Fourth Prince stopped looking for anything. He only asked the slave where the young lady was. The slave was afraid that the eldest princess would be harmful to the young lady. At that time, the slave was still far away from the Queen Mother's palace, so..."

"So you asked His Highness the Fourth Prince for help?" Gu Yuqing frowned and asked, Ji Xiang said that Xiao Yu was looking for something important at that time, but inexplicably, Gu Yuqing's first reaction was that Xiao Yu was looking for her.

Such thoughts flashed through her mind, and Gu Yuqing's hand holding the handkerchief unconsciously broke out into a thin layer of sweat, and her ears turned red again.

When Gu Yuqing asked, Jixiang immediately said uneasily: "Miss, did I do something wrong?"

Gu Yuqing sighed and said: "The eldest princess was instigated by someone to kidnap me. I don't know what the person who kidnapped me wanted to do. I'm afraid he wanted to implicate His Highness the Fourth Prince."

Ji Xiang's face suddenly turned pale, he looked at Gu Yuqing cautiously and said, "Slave, I know I was wrong."

Gu Yuqing pursed her lips into a smile and shook her head, "I don't blame you. You were worried about me. It's a good thing that you asked His Highness the Fourth Prince for help in time, otherwise I really wouldn't have been able to get to the Queen Mother."

Jixiang knew that Gu Yuqing's words were trying to comfort her, and she became increasingly uneasy.

"After you asked the fourth prince for help, why did you find the emperor and empress and concubine Hui?" Gu Yuqing asked, suppressing the ripples in her heart.

Ji Xiang said: "It's not the slave, it's His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince. After hearing what the slave said, His Highness the Fourth Prince rushed towards the island in the middle of the lake, but he came back before taking two steps and led the slave to the palace of Concubine Hui."

"It happened that the emperor was also at Concubine Hui's place at that time, so I followed the young lady's previous instructions and told the emperor and Concubine Hui what I originally wanted to say to the Queen Mother."

"Concubine Hui said that since the eldest princess was involved, it would be better to inform the queen. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince said that he was worried that the eldest princess would do something reckless and irreversible, so he asked the emperor for permission to leave first."

So that's it... Gu Yuqing looked at the dancing light of the candles on the table and was slightly lost in thought. For a moment, as if she suddenly remembered something, she asked Ji Xiang, "When you went to the palace of Concubine Hui, weren't the Dong family members there? "

Today is Concubine Hui’s birthday. Considering the emperor’s love for Concubine Hui, he must have kept the Dong family for dinner.

Jixiang nodded, "Yes, but His Highness the Fourth Prince first led the slaves to the side hall and then secretly invited Concubine Hui and the Emperor to come over, avoiding the Dong family." After speaking, Jixiang added: " As for Prince Dong, the fourth prince also told him in every possible way not to tell anyone else about this matter."

When Gu Yuqing heard this, she felt relieved and a little warm.

Although this incident was Xiao Jingyu's fault, but in the end, Xiao Jingyu's identity was at stake. If there was a commotion, it would hurt the dignity of the royal family after all.

At that time, in order to maintain the dignity of the royal family, the emperor still doesn't know how to distort the truth.

It can be said that Xiao Yu saved her with good intentions.

Thinking of this, the ripples in Gu Yuqing's heart expanded and spread.

"How did you go about the things I asked you to inquire about?" After a few thoughts, Gu Yuqing took a deep breath and stopped thinking about Xiao Yu.

"I have found out clearly that when the palace banquet was over, His Highness the Second Prince was taken back to the palace by Concubine Shu. During the time when the young lady was in the secret room, His Highness the Second Prince never came out."

"On the contrary, His Highness the Third Prince did not leave the palace after he came out from Concubine Hui, but my servant did not find out where he went."

As he spoke, a gust of wind passed through the half-open window and blew the bright flames of the candles on the table around. Looking at the flames, Gu Yuqing sneered in her heart, and Xiao Yi's gloomy eyes appeared in her mind.

However, she couldn't figure out why Xiao Yi kidnapped her.

Also, when she was trapped in the secret room by Xiao Jingyu, why did Xiao Yi eavesdrop outside the secret room? What did he want to hear or what did he want to see? Gu Yuqing couldn't understand what he was thinking. No clue.

Since he couldn't figure it out, he put it aside for now. Gu Yuqing told Ruyi, "I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of bed these days. Tell Aunt Huang to go to Prince Duan's Mansion again and put aside the three-day appointment with Concubine Cheng. Let’s retreat to ten days later.”

Ruyi left after receiving the order. When the concubine Cheng received the news, her heart, which had been suffering for a whole day, suddenly relaxed. On this day, she seemed to have experienced a resurrection from the dead.
