The old woman wanted to kneel down and said, "Even if you beat me to death today, I will not let you enter the house."

After saying that, he knelt down in front of Fu Yunjing, closed his eyes, and had an expression as if he was ready to die.

Seeing this, the other man also knelt down and held Fu Yunjing's hands tightly with both hands: "Prince, calm down."

"Fu! Yun! Jing!"

Gu Zhiyin's gritting teeth sounded from behind Fu Yunjing. Fu Yunjing shuddered when he heard the words, and his crazy aura instantly died out. He turned around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. The cold moonlight was shining behind him. The mountains and rivers were picturesque, but not as elegant as him.

"Know!"

Fu Yunjing shouted guiltily.

Gu Zhiyin's eyes fell on his hands. Before he could say anything, Fu Yunjing seemed to have sensed something and threw the sack and stick out:

"How did you come?"

Gu Zhiyin stared at Fu Yunjing without blinking: "This is what I want to ask the prince, what are you doing in front of Miss Lu's door so late at night?"

She wanted to beat him with a stick. The Prince of Pingyang's Mansion was already in trouble, and this guy was even more crazy because of drinking.

Will it be useful if we tie up Lu Xuan and send her out of the capital?

No matter who set a trap for my father with this woman, the emperor's decision to let my father take her as a concubine today undoubtedly means that he has tacitly agreed. At this critical juncture, it will not do the Fu family any good to touch her.

Fu Yunjing pretended to be stupid and looked up at the sky: "Ah, the moonlight is nice, I'll take a walk."

The two old women kneeling on the ground rolled their eyes silently and said, "Prince, you are really amazing at telling lies with your eyes open."

Gu Zhiyin took a few deep breaths and said in a slow voice, "It's late, Prince, go back to bed early."

"Wen Feng, help the prince back to Qingfeng Courtyard."

Wen Feng responded and hurried forward to hold Fu Yunjing's hand: "Prince, let's go."

"Oh." Fu Yunjing said sullenly, and Ren Wenfeng pulled him away.

Gu Zhiyin looked at the tightly closed door and said to the old woman kneeling on the ground, "Get up."

"Thank you, Princess." The two of them expressed their gratitude and stood up.

"Keep it safe. Come find me at Qionghua Court if you have any problems." Gu Zhiyin said, then turned and left.

The two old women looked at each other and both breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Princess arrived in time!

Ruyi walked away, subconsciously looking back at the lighted house, and couldn't help but snorted: "The New Year is coming soon, and because of this woman, everyone in the palace is unhappy. I don't think this New Year will be a good one."

Gu Zhiyin held the heater in her hands, walked slowly, and nodded in agreement.

They originally thought that they just had no merit. Anyway, they made enough money by taking advantage of the opportunity of the court buying grain. No one could have expected that the emperor would do this in the end.

It's not that I can't accept a concubine, but I can't accept taking a concubine unwillingly under such calculations.

If my father or Fu Yunjing took the initiative to take a concubine today, no one would complain.

Someone brought this trouble to the Fu family, hoping to disturb their peace, but it depends on whether they are willing to accept it.

Gu Zhiyin returned to Qionghua Courtyard and saw Wen Feng standing at the door again. She was stunned.

"What did he do again?"

Gu Zhiyin gritted her teeth secretly, thinking that if this guy dared to make trouble again, she would definitely slap him against the wall so hard that he couldn't be pulled down.

Wen Feng felt embarrassed to be stared at, and wished he could dig a hole to crawl into: "The prince said he felt dizzy and didn't want to go back to Qingfeng Courtyard, so he will stay at Qionghua Courtyard tonight."

Gu Zhiyin was silent for a moment, then waved to Wen Feng: "Got it, you can go back."

Wen Feng bowed and left.

Gu Zhiyin walked in. Mother Hu stood at the edge of the corridor and pointed to the flower hall behind her: "The prince is inside."

As he said that, he opened the curtain and let Gu Zhiyin in.

The curtain was drawn to block out the cold wind outside, and Gu Zhiyin saw Fu Yunjing sitting there in a daze, holding a cup of hot tea.

"Prince." Gu Zhiyin shouted.

Fu Yunjing came back to his senses, looked up at her, and said without waiting for her to ask, "I told Mother Yang to sleep in the west room."

Gu Zhiyin understood. Qionghua Courtyard was so big with plenty of rooms. Fu Yunjing could live there if he wanted. The entire Prince Pingyang's Mansion was his home, and she had no right to kick him out.

In fact, even if he wanted to sleep in the same bed with her, she had no reason to refuse, she just felt awkward.

This is good!

"Then the prince should go to bed early. I'll go back to my room first." Gu Zhiyin said.

Fu Yunjing wanted to say something, but he saw Gu Zhiyin decisively turn around and leave.

He opened his mouth but failed to stop the person.

This incident with his father suddenly sounded a wake-up call for him.

Even though he was a prince of noble status, without real power and a say in the court, he could still be manipulated by others. In the past, the emperor protected him and he didn't think it was a big deal, but this time, the emperor asked his father to marry Lu Xuan.

Fu Yunjing didn’t know whether the Third Prince was behind this incident, but the Fu family couldn’t allow themselves to be chased and bullied like this.

A hint of determination slowly emerged in his cynical eyes.

Silent all night.

The next day, after Gu Zhiyin finished washing up, she went to the side hall for breakfast and found Fu Yunjing already sitting there.

"Good morning, Prince."

Fu Yunjing smiled and said, "Good morning, are you going out today?"

As the Chinese New Year approaches, there are many things to do in the mansion, including purchasing New Year's goods, rewarding the servants in the mansion, and giving New Year's gifts to various mansions during the New Year.

Coupled with the incident involving my father, the already busy year end has been filled with even more troubles.

Gu Zhiyin sat down next to him and shook her head when she heard him. "No, I've asked Mother Yang to talk to my mother and have my eldest sister help her deal with these trivial matters."

Fu Yunjing didn't ask her what she was going to do. He served her a bowl of porridge and handed it to her: "Be careful, it's hot."

"Thank you!" Gu Zhiyin thanked with a smile.

Fu Yunjing smiled and raised his hand to touch the top of her head.

After breakfast, Gu Zhiyin took Mother Hu and Mother Yang to Lu Xuan's room.

"Princess." The maid in the room bowed and greeted her when she saw her.

Lu Xuan glanced at Gu Zhiyin warily, bowed and said, "I pay my respects to the Princess of the County."

Gu Zhiyin glanced at her calmly, waved to the two maids and said, "You leave."

"Yes." The old woman replied and turned to leave the house.

The moment the door was closed, Lu Xuan's heart skipped a beat and she was uneasy: "I wonder what the Princess has to say."

Gu Zhiyin sat down, and Mother Hu and Mother Yang stood on her left and right.

"Miss Lu, let's be frank. Your arrival has brought great trouble to the Pingyang Palace. Let's get it over with. If you have any requests, just ask. As long as I can do it, I will satisfy you, as long as you are willing to leave."

When Lu Xuan heard this, a look of relief appeared on her face.

It turned out that he was trying to bribe her, which made her nervous for a moment.

Lu Xuan smiled softly, and immediately sat down on the official chair beside her with no fear, looking at Gu Zhiyin: "The Princess of the County is a straightforward person, but I have no other requests. It was the Prince of Pingyang who used his power to coerce me and forcibly took me here. My reputation has been damaged, and the prince should be responsible."
