famous eldest daughter

Chapter 466 Suspicion
Gu Yuqing's eyelashes trembled slightly, she raised her head suddenly and looked towards the Queen, with a confused and surprised expression on her face, "Why did the Queen say this? I don't understand."

There was a sharp sneer on the queen's lips. In the hall, under the bright candlelight, her smile seemed to be soaked in thousands of years of ice.

He was about to speak again, but was stopped by the Emperor taking a deep breath and sighing.

"Okay, if you want to teach me, it's not too late to wait until later. Today is her first time attending a family banquet in the palace, so let's forget it first."

The emperor had already spoken, and the queen was naturally not stubborn, so she had to bite her lip and give up. Under the exquisite makeup, Gu Yuqing's eyes were filled with a frosty chill.

Next, the palace maid opened the lid of the box, held a box of lifelike jade osmanthus cakes, and handed it to Gu Yuqing.

She stretched out her bare hand and took the box. She looked down at the contents inside the box. Gu Yuqing clicked her tongue in her heart. If she hadn't known in advance that this was carved from jade, she might not have been able to tell the authenticity based on just one look. She looked at the box. She even felt that she could faintly smell the sweet smell of sweet-scented osmanthus cake inside.

It's just that the totem pattern on the box made her feel anxious and unsteady.

Thank you again and take your seats.

The box was placed on the table next to him, attracting everyone's attention.

By the time the song finally came to an end, it was already approaching the end of the year, and the Queen Mother was old. Although she wanted to say a few more caring words to Gu Yuqing, she was unable to do so.

Concubine Hui had to serve the emperor and couldn't spare any time.

Xiao Yu accompanied him all the way out of the palace.

On the carriage back to Chinanhou Mansion, Gu Yuqing lowered her eyes slightly, thinking about today's events, and sighed slightly in her heart.

In the final analysis, today's success is due to the favor and love of the Queen Mother.

If the old man had told the queen directly at that time, she Gu Yuqing hadn't said anything, then nothing would happen afterwards, even with the effect of the medicine powder, the queen would definitely not have acted like that.

The Queen Mother... sighed with a heavy breath from her chest. Gu Yuqing's hand holding the silk handkerchief loosened and tightened, then tightened and loosened.

In both past and present lives, the Queen Mother treated her as if she were a close relative.

This kind of favor has long made Gu Yuqing regard the queen mother as her own grandmother, but... But in the end, I still wonder why the queen mother favors her so much?Even this love far exceeds that of her biological granddaughter.

In her last life, she didn't understand this problem. In this life... as she got together with Xiao Yu, she wanted to know the reason even more.

With another sigh in her heart, Gu Yuqing rubbed the totem pattern on the box on her lap, gathered her thoughts, lowered her head and stared at the box.

What is the connection between this thing... and the thing at home?

I felt a tightness in my chest. I stared at the pattern on the box for a long time, then turned my head and looked towards the car window.

The night wind blew the car curtains, and through the gap, she looked at Xiao Yu, who was riding a tall horse outside. He had a tall and straight posture, handsome appearance, and a heroic look between his brows, and he was not at all as dandy as usual.

With the downfall of Xiao Duo and the alliance between the Queen and Xiao Yi, Xiao Yu's life will become more and more dangerous.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuqing felt a little lucky.

In the past, it was Xiao Yu who saved her time and again regardless of life and death. In the future, she will take part in Xiao Yu's dangerous life.

Join hands with him.

There was no words all the way. The carriage rocked and drove to the door of Chinanhou Mansion. Ji Xiang opened the curtains of the carriage. Xiao Yu looked at Gu Yuqing in the carriage with a gentle face and said, "It's late today. You don't need to go back any more." Think about it, I will come to you tomorrow afternoon and we will study it together."

The bright moonlight shrouded his body like smoke and mist, and his spotless eyes seemed to be sprinkled with a layer of broken diamonds, glowing with radiance.

Facing that touch of tenderness, Gu Yuqing nodded with a smile, feeling at ease in her heart.

Zhou Bingde drove the carriage towards the second gate. Only when the gate of Chinan Houfu was tightly closed did Xiao Yu hit the horse's head and leave.

All the way back to the palace, Ming Lu reported everything that happened outside the queen's palace to Xiao Yu.

"...Your Highness, the slave was still the Ninth Highness at first because he wanted to follow the path of the Third Highness. How could he have imagined that he said that His Majesty's secret decree was to lure the Third Highness away for our princess so that His Highness the Princess could go in."

Xiao Yu frowned slightly after hearing Ming Lu's words.

It seems that something did happen in the queen's palace today... Xiao Yu's heart twitched when he thought that Gu Yuqing had to suffer these unprovoked disasters because of her marriage to him.

"I don't know why Xiaojiu is willing to help Ah Qing again and again. However, you just need to remember that he is a friend, not an enemy."

Ming Lu nodded and rolled his dark eyes slightly, "Your Highness, tell me... what exactly happened in the Queen's palace today?"

Xiao Yu glanced at him, "You've been waiting at the door and didn't know, so how could I know!"

Ming Lu then took a deep breath, "That's right!" He changed his voice, "Your Highness, this slave looks at the way His Ninth Highness is talking to our princess, and always feels that His Highness Ninth seems to have ulterior motives for our princess."

Xiao Yu glanced at him again, "What's the ulterior motive? Xiaojiu is only ten years old, what could he have for Ah Qing?"

As the words came out, Xiao Yu inexplicably thought of what King Duan said in prison that day.

He said that among his father's descendants, one of them was left behind by him.

At that time, I just felt that he was talking arrogantly and wanted to take advantage of his father's suspicion to achieve his final sinister purpose.

Although later, he secretly joined forces with Xiao Yi to get rid of Xiao Duo, taking advantage of Prince Duan's provocative words and his father's suspicion, but in the final analysis, he did not believe what Prince Duan said.

But now... Xiao Ke's features began to clear up inch by inch in the center of his mind.

He has a delicate and handsome face, and his facial features can be called exquisite, but the aura emanating from his brows is different from that of all the princes.

Even a sinister bird like Xiao Yi's brows revealed nothing but viciousness, but Xiao Ke, he had seen sharp rays of light from his calm face many times.

And that momentum is unique to soldiers who have gone through the battlefield.

Xiao Ke is only a ten-year-old child who rarely has the opportunity to go out of the palace. How come he has such a strong aura of the battlefield in his body.

Also... Xiao Ke has always been a transparent person in the palace, and the martial arts he learned were only taught by the boxing and kicking masters in the palace.

But his martial arts attainments are clearly extremely profound.

When King Duan was in trouble and he drew his sword, Xiao Yu stood beside him and was shocked by his sword energy.

It was just that the situation was urgent at the time and he didn't have time to think too much about it. Later, due to various things, he forgot about it.

Thinking of it now, it is...
