Gu Qinghuai and Liu Qiushi were admiring the flowers beside a flowerbed filled with white, red and yellow roses. They stopped talking when they saw Yan Yudie approaching.

"Yan Yudie, the daughter of Prime Minister Yan, greets the Princess of Qinghe County." Although Yan Yudie bowed to Gu Qinghuai, there was still arrogance and disdain in her eyes.

Gu Qinghuai didn't care about these deliberate "expressions". She smiled faintly, raised her hand and said, "Miss Yan, there's no need to be so polite."

Yan Yudie forced a stiff smile and glanced at Liu Qiushi who was beside Gu Qinghuai.

Gu Qinghuai understood and said to Liu Qiushi, "Qiushi, sit over there and wait for me."

"Okay, Sister County Lord, please be careful," Liu Qiushi glanced at Yan Yudie.

After Liu Qiushi walked away, Yan Yudie's expression became even colder. She stared straight at Gu Qinghuai and lowered her voice slightly, "When did Princess Qinghe meet Prince Yi?"

Gu Qinghuai didn't want to beat around the bush with her, she smiled softly and said, "Miss Yan is so interested in Prince Yi, you can just ask him directly. Actually, Prince Yi and I are not familiar with each other."

Yan Yudie didn't expect Gu Qinghuai to speak so directly, and her face turned red instantly.

But thinking of her purpose, she suppressed her shyness and forced herself to calm down.

"Prince Ke Yi protects you so much," Yan Yudie said with deep loss and resentment in her tone.

Over the years, Prince Yi has been like a hedgehog, with his sharp thorns erected towards everyone, and no one can get close to him except the emperor.

When he rescued her that time, it was not as beautiful as a hero saving a beauty. Instead, when she fell out of the carriage, Prince Yi rolled her back with the whip in his hand and then cursed at her.

Despite this, Yan Yudie still fell in love with the masked man riding on a horse, and she couldn't control herself.

Gu Qinghuai looked helpless: "That's because Prince Yi knows how to be grateful. I cured his face, which is what he cares about the most. Of course he is grateful to me and wants to repay me. If it was Miss Yan who cured Prince Yi's face, he would definitely protect Miss Yan everywhere."

Yan Yudie was speechless, but her expression looked better.

Gu Qinghuai approached her and lowered his voice, "Miss Yan, to be honest, although I am a widow, not every man wants me. I have someone I like and I am already engaged, so, Miss Yan, please don't regard me as a threat to you. There is no need to compete with me. If you really like Prince Yi, you should work hard and create more opportunities to meet him."

Yan Yudie's eyes lit up. "How to make it? I don't have any contact with Prince Yi on a daily basis."

Upon learning that Princess Qinghe had no intention of getting close to Prince Yi, Yan Yudie let down her guard a lot. As a lady from a prominent family, she really had no way to actively pursue the one she loved, let alone announce her secret love to the public. Now that she saw that Gu Qinghuai was willing to help her, she was naturally excited.

Gu Qinghuai covered his mouth with his hand: "A few days ago, Prince Yi mentioned Princess Leyang in front of me. It seems that Prince Yi still cares about Princess Leyang. However, in order to avoid suspicion, he rarely takes the initiative to show up."

Gu Qinghuai did not lie when he said this. Prince Yi really mentioned Qi Yuanshuo, Qi Yuanxiu and Princess Leyang in front of Gu Qinghuai, and he also stood up for them.

According to Prince Yi's revelation, Gu Qinghuai guessed that Prince Yi also sent secret guards to secretly protect Princess Leyang.

Yan Yudie's face changed when she heard what Gu Qinghuai said. She looked around warily. Seeing that no one was around, she whispered with disgust, "How can I get in touch with my third sister-in-law, who is of such status? Besides, after the Chinese New Year this year, she and my third brother moved to the west corner of the mansion and never left the house all day."

Gu Qinghuai's heart sank. It seemed that Princess Leyang was not well-liked by the people in Yan's house.

I must find a way to meet her in person.

Gu Qinghuai hid the worry in his eyes and nodded, "Indeed, carrying such an identity is really disgusting. It's really difficult for Miss Yan."

Yan Yudie seemed to have been holding it in for a long time and finally found someone to talk to. She took a step closer to Gu Qinghuai and whispered, "My whole family advised my third brother to divorce his wife, but he refused. He even moved to a side yard to be angry with my parents. These days, my parents are discussing giving my third brother's two children to a cousin in my hometown as grandchildren."

Gu Qinghuai's heart skipped a beat, and he pretended to be curious and asked, "Will your third brother be willing to give up the child?"

Yan Yudie snorted, "It's not up to him! My father plans to send him to the Southern Border Barracks to train him up. If that woman wants to keep the child, it won't be up to her!"

[Host, in the previous life, Princess Leyang's two children were killed on the way to be sent away. Princess Leyang died of depression because of this. Even though the Seventh Prince finally won the position, Princess Leyang did not live long. Yan Nanbai became a monk. ]

Gu Qinghuai frowned slightly.

The Yan family is really good at scheming!

First, Yan Nanbai was sent to southern Xinjiang, then the two children were given away, and finally Princess Leyang was left to fend for herself in the Yan family's side courtyard.

When Princess Leyang dies of depression, they can find another wife for Yan Nanbai.

As expected, when people leave, the tea gets cold.

Even if Princess Leyang is the emperor's biological daughter, what can she do? Without her mother, brothers and family, and with the serious crime of treason, she can only live in a corner with her head down.

However, Yan Nanbai is quite affectionate.

Gu Qinghuai sighed inwardly, but smiled and said, "Parents who love their children will make long-term plans for them. Your parents are indeed good at making plans."

Yan Yudie looked at Gu Qinghuai and smiled shyly, "Princess Qinghe, besides using that woman, is there any other way to get close to Prince Yi?"

Gu Qinghuai was embarrassed. "I'm sorry, Miss Yan, this is the only solution I can think of right now. After all, Prince Yi and I are not familiar with each other. Moreover, I dare not give Miss Yan any advice casually. If Miss Yan doesn't get what she wants in the end, she might blame me."

"I don't blame you, I swear, if you have any solution, just tell me!" Yan Yudie looked expectant and anxious.

Gu Qinghuai said: "A man like Prince Yi is very difficult to conquer. If you want to attract him, you must have something that can impress him and attract his attention."

"What can impress him and attract his attention?" Yan Yudie frowned slightly and muttered to herself.

Seeing that she was thinking, Gu Qinghuai said, "That's all I can say. Love is a matter of fate. If Miss Yan has nothing else to say, I'll take my leave."

After saying that, Gu Qinghuai turned and left.

Yan Yudie stood in front of the flower bed, twisting a handkerchief in her hand, her face full of worry.

Gu Qinghuai and Liu Qiushi left Liang Mansion early.

What Gu Qinghuai could not have imagined was that the drugging and assassination she had expected did not happen. Perhaps Prince Yi's warnings worked, or she left too early and the conspiracy against her had not yet been implemented.
