late night song

Chapter 266: I’m wrong but I don’t recognize you
The news that Prince Ling and General Yuesheng traveled closely together quickly spread. Some people said that Prince Ling was a romantic and a man who changed seasons overnight. Some people said that General Yuesheng was ambitious and unwilling to be mediocre. Some people said that the two of them were in the same boat but just stayed together for warmth. That’s all.

But rumors are rumors after all. Anyone who knows these two masters will never believe that they are involved unless they know the truth. They are just made up by the public to add some fun to the conversation and make them lively. .

Furthermore, when Prince Ling was kidnapped from his wife, no one would be stupid enough to rush to get into trouble with him, so no acquaintances with good intentions came to inquire about it.

As for the master, Ling Buhuo turned a deaf ear to this and was unmoved at all. Gu Yuchu was used to being talked about and slandered, so he was not surprised. The two of them lived leisurely and contentedly behind closed doors in the prince's mansion.

But today an old friend came to the house, which caused a lot of ripples between the two of them.

After not seeing each other for half a year, Ji Hechuluo became even more beautiful. The girl's youthfulness faded away from her eyebrows, and she gradually began to reveal the charm of a woman.

She originally came with a glowing face and a food box to pay her respects, but when she saw Prince Ling bending down and hugging the sitting Gu Yuchu with his head down to study the weapon braking map, she stood there in shock and bewilderment. For a moment, An awkward atmosphere filled Prince Ling's study.

"Ji He, long time no see." Although his love rival was extremely blushing when he met her, that was already in the past. Gu Yuchu showed his due bearing and took the initiative to greet her in a relaxed manner.

"Sister Yu Chu." Ji He also adjusted his mentality and catered with a smile.

"What good snacks did Ji He make today for me to try?" Ling Buhuo stood up straight and put down the jade ruler, but his other hand was still naturally placed on Gu Yuchu's shoulder, and he said politely with a smile.

"Zhenzi butterfly cake and peony honey cheese." Ji He replied softly, stepped forward and gently placed the food box on the corner of the desk.

"Come and try Ji He's craftsmanship." Ling Buhuo pulled the food box into Gu Yuchu with one hand, gently and dotingly.

"I've tasted a lot of Ji He's craftsmanship, and every one is as good as the other."

Gu Yuchu only felt that this scene was too familiar, and felt it was funny in his heart. After going around in a circle, the three of them seemed to be back to the original point, so he also imitated his daughter's family's bitterness and jealousy, and said with a hint of blame: "You, the elder brother, My sister came to see you, but why didn't she even sit down?"

"I was negligent." Ling Buhuo smiled meaningfully, as docile as a kitten, and quickly asked Ji He to sit down.

"No, no, I came here to deliver food, and it has been delivered now. Ji He will not disturb the prince brother and sister Yu Chu. He takes his leave."

Ji He weighed his current status and stepped back quietly. However, when he reached the door, he still couldn't help but look back at the two of them. Thinking about the rumors in the market, he seemed to have the answer in his heart, but It was hard to accept, so I smiled bitterly before disappearing.

"She should have noticed." Gu Yuchu noticed her thoughts, fiddled with the brush and murmured.

"She's not stupid." Ling Buhuo raised his eyebrows. He did it on purpose.

"Why, does she come to see you often these days?"

"You're not looking for me, you're looking for Ling Ziyu. She cried and knelt in the backyard of Shan Mansion for three days and three nights, saying that she wanted to atone for the wrong things she had done. Mingxi couldn't bear it and didn't dare to make any decisions without making any promises. She went to find Ling Ziyu. Ling Ziyu wanted to teach her a lesson so that he would not dare to act so boldly in the future, so he quietly sent her to the clothing bureau in the military camp on the outskirts of Beijing. He cleaned and washed her for three full months before taking her back. Again. After that, when the marriage between Prince Jingchuan and Ming Xi was decided, she would come occasionally to bring some food and chat."

"What plans does her princess mother have?"

"you guess?"

"She should be grateful that you two suppressed that matter." Gu Yuchu rolled her eyes at him and said bluntly, not bothering to beat around the bush.

"Probably so." Ling Buhuo sighed rarely.

"Kidnapping the general and almost killing the crown prince is a heinous crime against the nine clans. But when it comes to these nine clans, they also include us and my father! After all, they are a family. Ji He is still young and was instigated by others. It is excusable. Ming Xi didn't want to expose the scandal and didn't want to care about it, and Ling Ziyu had no intention of dealing with the return of the beauty who was a blessing in disguise. This matter originally started because of me, and it will be settled as long as it can be settled. I hope Aunt Helan can keep this matter in mind, curb her ambitions, and come back. Don't act recklessly and get into trouble." The man meant something, but he didn't point it out.

"What's the situation at Princess Helan's Mansion now?"

Gu Yu's first question was vague. Ji He had been instigated by Noda before. Although he later insisted that it was only done by himself and had nothing to do with others, Princess Helan's mansion could not escape the suspicion of being in close contact with Dong Qi Xunying.The Nuoda incident is no accident. Princess Helan's ambition is clearly revealed, and the involvement behind it is still unknown how complicated it is.

"Aunt Helan claimed to be in seclusion to recuperate, but in fact she was confined at home. Ling Ziyu allowed Ji Huan to resign and focus on serving his mother. In the entire Princess Helan Mansion, only Ji He could enter and exit the mansion freely, which can be regarded as blocking all kinds of people outside. Rumors.”

"Maybe it's my villainous heart."

Of course Gu Yuchu knew that Ji Huan would not resign on his own initiative, but she felt that such a decision was very reasonable.

Binding the hands and feet of mother and son means cutting off all the communication and dealings in Princess Helan's Mansion. It is also a way to draw out the firepower. The old King Ling cherishes the brotherly love and has the best intentions to preserve this biological sister. I hope Princess Helan can see clearly.

But she also knew in her heart that Princess Helan's temperament would never give up, so she instinctively thought that Ji He's motives for frequent visits to the Prince's Mansion were not simple, but she couldn't explain it too clearly, so she could only laugh at herself. .

"You are not a villain. You have the sovereignty and are prepared for a rainy day."

Facing Ling Ziyu's teasing, Gu Yuchu rolled her eyes, but it was magical to say that, after all the detours, Ji He was still involved with the two of them, so she picked up the fight and deliberately joked: "Yes, she and Jing Although I missed the Sichuan Prince's Mansion, I am still destined to you after all."

"Whether there is a fate or not, it's not up to you to decide."

Ling Buhuo knocked the woman's head with his knuckles and smiled fondly. Then his eyebrows flashed, as if he was worried, and he said the key point: "My aunt is just too strong. I'm afraid she won't be able to come back in this life." Head."

Gu Yuchu didn't say anything more. The future of Princess Helan's Mansion had nothing to do with her. What's more, this was a family matter of their old Ling family, so she really didn't need to be overly concerned.

…………

After Ji He returned to the princess's house, he went to greet his mother in a daze.

Although Princess Helan's Mansion has lost its former glory, Princess Helan herself is still dazzling with pearls, but it cannot hide the haggard and anxiety accumulated in her heart.

Since Ji Huan lost his official position, he could only spend his days leisurely in the house, accompanying his mother. He was still in his twenties, but he had never been married.

Come to think of it, Princess Helan has traveled among aristocratic families for many years and made many good marriages, but when it comes to herself, she has a very high self-esteem after all, and always feels that no noble lady can be worthy of her son.

Ji Huan, on the other hand, was soft-spoken and had no independent opinions. Naturally, he obeyed his mother in everything. Except for a few maidservants, he did not dare to provoke the ladies of high families outside, so he gained a reputation as a good and obedient woman. But in the situation in front of them, the loving mother and the filial piety are not what their mother and son want in their hearts. "Why are you back so early today?" Princess Helan noticed her daughter's strangeness, but she didn't care at all. She just squinted her eyes and blamed her.

Ji He didn't say anything, just sat down and asked for a cup of tea from his brother.

"Didn't Prince Ling keep you for dinner? He must be feeling depressed during this period. My sister needs to seize this good opportunity." Ji Huan originally wanted to comfort him, but he accidentally touched Ji He's pain.

"I followed my mother's arrangements and sent tea and snacks to her every now and then, but I didn't see any so-called opportunities." Ji He endured his displeasure and spoke calmly, but it meant that his mother's efforts were in vain.

"Prince Ling has cared for you since you were a child. Although it was hard in the military camp, he never let you be wronged. Where is the love, my brother has confidence in you."

Ji Huan glanced at his mother, trying to smooth things over, but this confident sentence made Ji Hebei feel uncomfortable. She really couldn't stand his brother's optimism and stupidity as a bystander, so she glanced at him and her tone became stronger. : "Brother, why don't you keep your confidence for yourself? Don't count on me."

"What are you talking about? It was your audacity that ruined your brother's future and caused me to be banned from the mansion. Today's disaster in Princess Helan Mansion is all your fault. You still have the nerve to complain here." Princess Helan Unable to listen any longer, he frowned and interrupted the brother and sister's conversation, angrily slapped the tea case and scolded them harshly.

"I didn't..." The tea cup fell over and the tea wet Ji He's sleeves. She felt guilty, put her emotions back together, and replied in a low voice, very carefully.

"Still saying no? Bring some cakes and go tomorrow!" Princess Helan ordered, her unquestionable tone colder than the winter weather.

"I do not want to go……"

"Who will you go to if you don't?"

"Go to whoever you love..." Ji He lowered his head and whispered no longer.

The mother and daughter came and went, and the atmosphere became stiff and stagnant.

"You've made a mistake that affects the whole family, but you still have the nerve to bargain here?!" Princess Helan pointed at her daughter's nose and scolded her in an arrogant manner.

"Does my mother think that this current embarrassment is all caused by me? Doesn't my mother know what she has done?"

Under her mother's increasingly scolding and sarcasm, Ji He could no longer hold back.

She felt a hundred times guilty about her family, so she followed her mother's arrangement and went to the Shan Mansion to show weakness and went to the Prince's Mansion to plead guilty.But today, when she realized in vain that the person she was trying to please in the Prince's Mansion against her will was Ling Buhuo, whom she had longed for, she felt like a flood of shame, anger and embarrassment.

She escaped back home, but instead of showing any concern, her mother blamed her for all the troubles in the family, causing her to let out the grievances she had built up so hard for many days that she dared not vent. She immediately burst out with red eyes. Open your mouth to defend yourself for once.

"You are so brave, how dare you talk to me like this!" Princess Helan blushed at her disobedient daughter, immediately smashed the cup and scolded her sternly.

"Mom, my sister didn't mean that. She..." Ji Huan wanted to excuse his sister, but Princess Helan's sweeping eyes scared him so much that he didn't dare to say another word.

Ji He realized that he had made a mistake, but he could no longer hold back the grievance in his heart, and tears fell like a rainstorm.

"Don't cry. If you have such a good method, leave it to the Crown Prince's Palace for later use. The family has been humiliated because of you. It's up to you to make up for your mistakes. Only when you become the Crown Princess can your brother be reinstated. Mother, I have a chance to make a comeback.”

Princess Helan swallowed her anger and calmed down her mind. Although her tone was much better, she was still domineering and arbitrary. She put all the burden and hope of reviving the family on Ji He, not allowing her to refuse at all.

"Mother, don't be too serious. Prince Jingchuan's Palace turned me away, and I went to curry favor with the Prince's Palace instead. What do you think the world will think of me and you?!" Ji He, who could not be comforted or understood, was in a state of confusion. He stood up again, choking and uttering the words he had hidden deep in his heart but dared not say.

"It doesn't matter what other people think. As long as you become the Crown Princess and sit on the Queen's throne in the future, others will think otherwise." Princess Helan looked at her with disdain, thinking she was stupid and ridiculous. .

"Crown Princess? Hahaha, mother, do you know who I saw in the Prince's Mansion today?" Seeing that her mother was stubborn, Ji He thought of the coercion he had inflicted on Ling Buhuo and Ling Ziyu in the past, and what was going on in the Prince's Mansion today. Extremely ironic, he simply had a showdown with her.

"Who?"

"Yuchi Yuchu."

"What did that bitch do to the Prince's Mansion!" Princess Helan was shocked at first, but when she heard Gu Yuchu's name, she became even more furious and cursed loudly.

"Mother, don't you understand? Why is King Jingchuan willing to hand over military power to the prince in order to marry Shan Mingxi? It's just a cover. King Jingchuan is the prince, and the prince is King Jingchuan!"

"Sister, you can't talk nonsense about this!" Ji Huan instinctively kept it secret when it came to the Crown Prince, and quickly reminded him.

"You all should wake up, I will never marry him in this life."

"That can't be that bitch Yuchi Yuchu. How can she deserve it! She doesn't deserve it!"

Princess Helan's eyes flashed fiercely, and she could hardly breathe with anger. She originally thought that with Prince Jingchuan's wedding, Yuchi Yuchu would no longer have the possibility of becoming a dragon and a phoenix!Even if King Jingchuan marries someone other than his own daughter, it doesn't matter.But she never thought that Gu Ying's daughter would seduce the crown prince again. If she became the crown prince, or even the queen, wouldn't her status be higher than hers?
"Mother, you can't influence my father's mind, let alone him." Ji He smiled bitterly, thinking that since he had already spoken, it would be better to say it thoroughly, so he mentioned his mother's taboo without restraint, but as soon as he finished speaking, Princess Helan's sudden slap completely shattered her self-esteem.

"Don't mention your father!"

Princess Helan's eyes were red. Her daughter's words abruptly revealed the most secret wound in her heart that had never healed, causing her to go crazy instantly.

She knew very clearly that she had been suppressed by Gu Ying all her life. She was a total loser before the marriage, and she could not live a day of ease and happiness after the marriage. This was still the case even in the years after Gu Ying's death.

She frantically smashed all the cups, set up the tea table, and kicked over the stove, grinning and trembling like an angry bitch.

Ji He was shocked by her mother's excessive reaction. At her brother's secret signal, she covered her cheek and ran away crying.
