Chapter 159
Jixiang thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "No."

Gu Yuqing's originally solemn expression suddenly darkened a bit, and she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart. In her past and present life, it seemed that the second daughter of the Dong family was not very close to the Dong family.

In the previous life, with the sudden death of Concubine Hui, the Dong family was in decline. At that time, the Zhenguo Palace was in the midst of the emperor's favor. Although Dong Xueyi was not divorced by Song Zhejiang, her life was really difficult. That was it, it seemed. Dong Xuerao has never had any contact with her.

Even later, when the Dong family collapsed, Dong Xuerao had no contact with anyone in the Dong family.

Dong Ce was in trouble and was helpless and homeless, and she did not take care of him.

She seemed... not the daughter of the Dong family at all.

how so!
As his thoughts deepened, something seemed to flash across his mind, but no matter how hard Gu Yuqing thought about it, he couldn't grasp anything, and he couldn't figure out the reason for a while.

Since I couldn't figure it out for a while, I simply stopped thinking about it. I patted the petals and dust scattered on my dress and helped Ji Xiang to get up. I had been sick for a few days and couldn't walk for a long time. I suddenly came out to sit for a while, which felt a little uncomfortable. .

While supporting Ji Xiang to walk back along the veranda, he asked, "Has Master Hou still not come back?"

Ji Xiang's face moved slightly, he pursed his lips and shook his head, "No."

She sighed in her heart and couldn't help but feel sorry for Gu Yuqing. The young lady was so ill and the Marquis didn't even show his shadow.

Is searching for elixirs and medicines really more important than a young lady?
Gu Yuqing's expression was gloomy and she said no more. Her dense and curled eyelashes drooped, covering the emotions in her eyes. When she returned to the room and sat down on the bed, Gu Yuqing ordered: "Let Aunt Huang go again." Go to Prince Duan's Mansion and tell Concubine Cheng that at noon tomorrow, I will invite her to meet at Hanmoxuan in Bazhen Pavilion."

Ji Xiang accepted the order and left in response.

After Jixiang left, Gu Yuqing leaned against the window with her black and white eyes open, staring blankly at the blooming tung flowers on a tree outside the window. The storm was swirling in her eyes, but she could not see through her thoughts.

When Jixiang returned again, Gu Yuqing had already changed the clothes she went out with Ruyi's service.

After being sick for so many days, if I don't go out and walk around, I will become moldy.

The carriage drove slowly through the busy city and through the quiet alleys. Gu Yuqing's closed eyes trembled slightly as he listened to the various voices in his ears.

Xiao Yi completely overthrew the Zhenguo Palace in one fell swoop. The second prince, Xiao Duo, was the most upset about this incident.

He was even more anxious than the Zhen Guo Gong family who were eating in prison.

After this incident, Xiao Yi's status in the emperor's heart will definitely increase day by day. This makes Xiao Duo, who is eager to seize the throne, find it difficult to get down.

He was surprised that Xiao Yi had always been like a mouthless gourd, so why did he make such a big noise without saying anything.

It was like thunder on the ground, that was the illustrious Zhenguo Palace, and he really dared to take action, so he was not afraid that if anything happened, he would shoot himself in the foot and be backlashed by the Zhenguo Palace.

What annoyed Xiao Duo the most was that when Xiao Yi made such a big noise, he didn't take any precautions. Previously, he only focused on staring at Xiao Yu. Now it seems that Xiao Yu is just a loser and not worth his trouble at all. The real opponent turned out to be Xiao Yi, who made a fortune silently.

I really looked down on him!

When Gu Yuqing arrived, Xiao Duo was pacing back and forth on the marble floor like a trapped animal.

Seeing Xiao Duo like this, Gu Yuqing smiled coldly, with disdain and disdain in the corners of his eyes and brows, but it was fleeting. When Xiao Duo looked at her, he was already calm.

Against the sunlight, Xiao Duo was startled when he saw Gu Yuqing standing outside the study door. The sunlight seemed to coat her body with a layer of golden light, adding more color to her already bright features. At this moment, She seemed to be a fairy descending from the sky with golden light.

"Miss Gu?" After coming back to his senses, Xiao Duo immediately walked towards Gu Yuqing, with a joyful smile in his eyes, "How come you didn't inform anyone in advance when you came?"

Gu Yuqing said with a smile: "I take the liberty to bother Your Highness, but I have been ill for several days, and my heart has always been uneasy. After all, I caused Lu Jiuzheng's incident, and now because of him, His Highness is hated by Prince Duan. If His Highness has an accident, I have a hard conscience install."

Hearing this, Xiao Duo knew that she was here to deal with the prince, so he immediately stopped joking and invited Gu Yuqing to enter the study.

Xiao Yicai had made great achievements. He had to make full preparations day and night, trying to bring down Prince Duan in one fell swoop, so that he could be evenly matched with him in front of his father.

After sitting down, a maid brought hot tea, and Xiao Duo immediately asked eagerly: "Miss Gu is here, but what good news do you want to bring to this king?"

Gu Yuqing smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid I have disappointed His Highness. There is no good news. I just want to invite His Highness to Bazhen Pavilion at noon tomorrow to express my apology."

Xiao Duo couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard this, but he still maintained his proper demeanor on his face and said: "It is truly a blessing to be invited by Miss Gu. I will make it to the appointment on time tomorrow."

After chatting for a few more words, Gu Yuqing stood up and left with a smile.

Looking at Gu Yuqing's leaving figure, Xiao Duo felt a little disappointed in his heart. Does Gu Yuqing's willingness to take the initiative to invite him mean that they are on the same boat from now on, and he no longer has to work hard? Winning her over?

After tossing and turning all night, until dawn, and finally at noon, Xiao Duo changed into a black robe and went straight to Bazhen Pavilion.

Bazhen Pavilion is located on the most prosperous Gulou Street in Kyoto. There are cars and people coming and going in front of the door, which is very lively.

Gu Yuqing told him that the private room was Canglan Pavilion. When he arrived, Gu Yuqing had not arrived yet and sat leisurely by the window, drinking the fragrant tea served by the boss himself. Xiao Duo looked down the window to watch the excitement.

Feeling bored, he suddenly saw an extremely familiar woman rushing into the Bazhen Pavilion, although she had bruises on her face, Xiao Duo was sure that he must have seen her face somewhere.

Where exactly?

He tilted his head and frowned, but couldn't remember anything. He turned around and told Changshun, "Go and check on that girl just now."

There was no need for Xiao Duo to describe it, Chang Shun understood clearly who the girl he was talking about was, and immediately nodded and turned around to go out.

I just went out for just a cup of tea, and then I came back with a smile on my face.

Meeting Xiao Duo's questioning gaze, Changshun replied: "Your Highness, no wonder she looks familiar. She is the concubine Cheng of Prince Duan's Mansion. What a coincidence, she happens to be at the Hanmoxuan next door to us."

There are only two private rooms on the third floor of Bazhen Pavilion, one is Hanmo Pavilion and the other is Canglan Pavilion. They stand side by side and are only separated by a wall.

she?
Xiao Duo suddenly wondered, wasn't she Prince Duan's favorite concubine? Why did she have so many injuries on her face? Also, wasn't she bedridden all year round? How could she just walk like a normal person? look.

With doubts in his mind, Xiao Duo couldn't help but become interested in the concubine Cheng next door. He was about to go over and say hello when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the carriage of the Chinan Marquis Mansion downstairs slowly stopping.
