The distinguished guest of Yuyan Pavilion was somewhat beyond Gu Jin's expectations.

Princess Pingxi smiled gently, as beautiful and gentle as a magnolia. "Are you surprised to see me?"

Gu Jin nodded and said truthfully: "Indeed, there are some."

"In fact, I have wanted to come and thank you for a long time, but my identity is sensitive and if I rashly go to your house, it will only cause you to be suspected.

I heard that this Yuyan Pavilion is your shop, so I came to take a look."

Shopkeeper Han came forward cautiously and lowered his voice and said, "Boss, the princess applied for a Supreme Gold Card and bought a copy of all the goods in our shop."

Gu Jin understood that Princess Pingxi wanted to thank her in this way.

Gu Jinping dismissed Manager Han and the others before asking, "Are you referring to Prince Chen?"

Princess Pingxi nodded, her beautiful face showing deep helplessness and resentment, "I thought An An was safe since he was not a threat to anyone, but I didn't expect those people were still unwilling to let him go."

How could they come up with such a despicable way to plot against someone with the mind of a child!

"It's all thanks to you and General Xie, otherwise..." When she thought of Chen An'an, Princess Pingxi felt heartbroken, "If An'an had any more misfortunes, there would really be no point in me living."

Gu Jin stared at the beautiful and elegant woman in front of him. She was a princess and such a noble existence in the eyes of the world, but she couldn't even control the safety of her own child.

Gu Jin's eyes moved slightly, and he asked, "Princess, was Prince Chen normal before he fell ill?"

Princess Pingxi nodded. "Although An An is not a very intelligent child, he is a normal child after all. He has liked to learn horse riding and archery since he was young and aspired to fight on the battlefield like his father when he grows up. But who knew that he had a serious illness and his brain was burned..."

Whenever she thought of this, Princess Pingxi blamed herself to death, "It's all because of my incompetent mother. If I had been more careful at the beginning, An An wouldn't be like this."

"Maybe it's not necessarily your fault, Princess." Gu Jin said meaningfully.

When she took Chen Anan's pulse that day, she accidentally discovered that there was something unusual about his pulse. Although high fever could cause brain damage, so many years had passed and it would not affect the functions of other parts of the body.

She felt that Chen Anan's symptoms were more like poisoning.

Perhaps Chen Anan’s brain wasn’t damaged by high fever, but someone did it intentionally.

Princess Pingxi looked at Gu Jin in surprise and asked quickly, "Why do you say that? Do you know something hidden?"

Gu Jin pursed her lips. She was not clear about the situation in the capital, so she planned to go back and discuss with Xie Ran before making a decision. She only said, "I just think that the princess is a patient and competent mother. You must have done your best back then."

Hearing Gu Jin say this, Princess Pingxi felt a sense of loss in her heart, then she smiled bitterly and shook her head.

What on earth was she expecting? The girl in front of her was even younger than An An. Even if there was some hidden secret back then, how would she know?

Princess Pingxi looked at Gu Jin deeply. If it was that person, with her intelligence, she might be able to help her find out the truth.

That look again!

Gu Jin always felt that Princess Pingxi was looking at someone through her, so she asked frankly, "Princess, Prince Chen suddenly called me Fairy Sister at the palace banquet earlier. Do I look very similar to someone you know?"

Princess Pingxi's eyes flickered, she lowered them to avoid the sight, took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "Whenever that child sees a beautiful woman, he will call her Fairy Sister. An An is always rude, please don't be offended, Madam Third Young Master."

"How could that be? Princess, please have tea." Gu Jin smiled and did not ask any further questions.

The two put the topic aside and stopped talking, just chatting about some women's skin care experiences.

After seeing off Princess Pingxi, Gu Jin restrained the smile on his face and said, "Ruyi Wumu, let's go to Anding Marquis's Mansion!"

Princess Pingxi must be hiding something from her. When she asked casually just now, although Princess Pingxi seemed calm, in fact, there were many unnatural movements in her gestures, which were the subconscious reactions of people when they concealed something or told a lie.

She doesn't look like anyone in the Gu family. If she is the biological daughter of the Earl and Lady Anding, then the only person she looks like is the Lady of the Earl of Anding.

After Princess Pingxi got on the carriage, she instructed the maid beside her: "Send someone to find out if they can find the portrait of the wife of the Marquis of Anding."

After thinking for a while, he said, "No need for that. When you return home, just take the small portrait I copied and secretly find a servant in the mansion to identify it."

If Lady Anding is really her, then the capital city will probably be even more chaotic.
