Chapter 59: Purple Jade Whistle

"Of course it was a misunderstanding," Tang Zhao looked around at everyone. "I thought it was just a casual conversation, but I didn't expect it to lead to so many things." She paused, suppressing the nausea that made her feel like she had eaten shit, and continued, "It caused everyone to misunderstand, and caused Miss Zhongyong Hou to bear a bad reputation for no reason. It's our fault."

She turned and looked at Bai Rouyin, "Ms. Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, we are here to apologize to you."

Gu Ci was silent for a moment, then followed suit and saluted.

Bai Rouyin was carried to the high platform by Tang Zhao. She felt angry and wronged, unwilling and afraid, so she could only go along with the performance and said, "Nothing."

"So that's how it is. We misunderstood Miss Zhongyong Hou and General Huoqi."

Some people insisted, "It's not our fault. Who could have thought of this?"

Yeah, who could have imagined it? After years of immersing themselves in the inner chambers and witnessing countless sinister ladies and gentlemen, it was a pity that a good play of catching an adulterer could be turned around like this!
How embarrassing it must be for those men and women who are caught in adultery or having secret meetings and are forced to get married!

Princess Xuan concluded her speech, "Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, the matter is over." She glanced at the two gloomy faces and warned, "Concubine Han, Miss Shen Wu, take this as a lesson. Remember to think twice before speaking."

Concubine Han gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I will teach you."

Miss Shen Wu lowered her head and said, "Yes."

Princess Xuan: "Alright, the banquet is ready in the Warm Winter Hall. Let's go back."

Everyone agreed and followed Princess Xuan out.

Bai Rouyin lowered her head and pleaded softly, "Mom, I want to go home."

The wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery said coldly, "If you want to start rumors again, go back!"

Bai Rouyin didn't dare to act willfully anymore, and was dragged away by the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery, looking back every step of the way.

Qiuyu went to wait on the other side of the arch bridge. The couple was the only ones left on the island in the middle of the lake. They looked at each other, then looked away, and their interlocked fingers were shaken off as if they had been electrocuted.

Tang Zhao felt as if he had touched shit. He dipped a handkerchief in lake water and wiped his hands carefully.

Gu Ci took a deep breath to suppress his anger, staring at Tang Zhao intently, "How did you know?"

How did he know? Of course, it was because of the plot warning displayed on the system interface.

When she went to the warehouse to select items for the auction, the system popped up a plot preview without warning.

The general plot is that Bai Rouyin was so shocked after seeing Tang Zhao that she went crazy. She designed a plan to be caught in an adultery in order to marry Gu Ci as a concubine. Unexpectedly, she went too far. In order to save Bai Rouyin's reputation, Gu Ci jumped into the lake and swam away before being discovered. He caught a cold and was poisoned, and almost lost his life.

The task issued by the system is to stop Gu Ci from jumping into the lake to avoid the poisoning.

Tang Zhao thought of three plans. The first was to stop it from the source. She would not show up at all to avoid irritating Bai Rouyin and driving her crazy. The second was to show up when the two of them were having a secret meeting and act as a shiny, bright light bulb. The third was to have Gu Ci jump into the lake first as a last resort, and she would pull him onto the boat halfway.

No matter what, we can’t let Gu Ci’s poison attack her again. Her life is very precious!
But man proposes, God disposes. Tang Zhao was so engrossed in the show, and Concubine Han was so powerful, that he couldn't find the right time to make his debut for a long time, and he almost got into trouble.

Fortunately, she also completed the task assigned by the system.

[Ding! Save the cannon fodder male supporting role system. The ultimate mission is to feed the three armies. The second sub-task: rewrite the plot to avoid the poison. Completed! Reward: soybean oil production process. It has been stored in the space. 100 health points have been received. The current total health points are 284.]

Tang Zhao was very satisfied. He looked directly into Gu Ci's eyes and said mischievously, "Guess!"

Gu Ci's words were suddenly stuck in his trachea and he couldn't stop coughing.

Tang Zhao watched with a smile on his face for a long time. After Gu Ci stopped, the two returned to the banquet together.

Everyone ate, drank, played and had fun together, and tacitly talked about the matter of the island in the middle of the lake.

After the banquet, Tang Zhao returned to the Bidan Courtyard and rolled around on his beloved big bed. "No one should wake me tomorrow. I want to sleep until I wake up naturally!"

"The young lady sleeps until noon every day," Nanny Song thought her young lady was good in every way except that she loved to sleep in. "Thankfully, her husband is kind and gentle, and the princess is loving. If it were her husband's family, they wouldn't allow the young lady to be so lazy."

Tang Zhao stuck out his tongue. Qiuyu had been holding it in for the entire trip, but couldn't help herself any longer. "Miss, Bai Rouyin is so shameless! She seduced me in broad daylight and tried to become my concubine! Why don't you give her a good slap and teach her a lesson?"

Tang Zhao was calm and collected. "Would you damage the jade bottle while killing a mouse?"

"Of course not!" Qiuyu said, "What kind of dirty thing is a mouse? Not to mention damaging the jade bottle, even if it touched me, I'd find it filthy!"

After Qiuyu finished speaking, she suddenly realized, "Miss, you are right. Bai Rouyin is the rat, and the son-in-law is Yu Ping!"

"Yu Ping" paused as she raised her hand to knock on the door.

Tang Zhao nodded. The young man was teachable, and he spoke from the heart for once. "I don't want to argue with her. First, it's unnecessary, and second, I pity her."

"I didn't kill Bo Ren, but he died because of me. Although marrying Gu Ci for the sake of happiness was not my wish, it was ultimately because of this incident that Bai Rouyin lost her mind and did such a thing."

"Neither Gu Ci, Bai Rouyin, nor I have done anything wrong. We can only blame fate."

Wait, you can also blame Emperor Kangzhi for being blind in arranging the marriage, blame Gu Ci for being incompetent and being poisoned, and blame the crappy system of saving the cannon fodder male supporting role.

System: Haha, why don’t you blame yourself for being stupid and getting stabbed to death by your mortal enemy?

Tang Zhao gritted his teeth and continued, "Resolving today's incident is just a piece of cake for me, but if I don't resolve it, it will be a disaster for Rouyin."

Although the mentally retarded are not worthy of sympathy, it is still helpful to help them every time.

"Besides, the two sisters in Duke Wei's mansion are already troublesome enough, I don't want to add another one."

Not disgusting enough.

"No, there won't be any more," Gu Ci pushed the door open and came in.

Tang Zhao accused, "You are a dignified General of the Cavalry, yet you actually eavesdrop on people's conversations."

Gu Ci didn't argue, but took something out of his arms and threw it to her.

Tang Zhao reached out and took it, and it felt cold.

"This is?"

"Purple Jade Whistle."

Tang Zhao was incredulous, "Is it for me?" Isn't it for Bai Rouyin?
Gu Ci hummed, "If there is danger or if you need help in the future, blow this whistle and the secret guards will come."

He paused, but didn't say the rest of the words.

Tang Zhao was curious, "How many people?"

Gu Ci: "As long as you can afford it, even thousands of troops will do."

Tang Zhao smiled awkwardly and said, forget it.

Gu Ci tried to hold it in, but couldn't help but say, "Don't say those words outside anymore!"

Tang Zhao asked knowingly, "Which ones?"

Gu Ci glanced at her and turned away.

Tang Zhao stabbed Gu Ci and felt happy. The more he looked at the purple jade whistle, the more he liked it. He treasured it so much that he was afraid of losing it if he kept it away, and afraid of it falling off if he wore it. In the end, he persuaded Gu Ci to drill a hole in the end of the purple jade whistle, threaded a red rope through it, and wore it around his neck.

Tang Zhao: Much more stable.

Zhao Zhao (touching the big red string hanging around his neck): Sorry, I’m used to it since I came from the village.
March is here, let’s go!
