After being married off by my younger sister, I became the most beloved person in the palace

Before she could ask, Gu Zhiyin shook her head: "No, she doesn't have that ability."

This was in the Duke of Huguo's Mansion. How could it be so easy for Gu Jinse to bribe the servants in such a huge mansion and even kill a child in the mansion?

And what is Gu Jinse plotting against the Liu family for? She can't even please them!

If it has nothing to do with this matter, it is most likely that he followed here out of curiosity because he discovered something.

While he was thinking, the wife of the Duke of Huguo came over with her people. When she saw Gu Zhiyin, who was soaking wet and in a mess, she was shocked and didn't bother to ask more questions. She hurriedly ordered: "Hurry, help the princess go to Qiushui Pavilion to change clothes and make ginger soup."

"Yes."

A woman came forward to take the child away, but before she touched him, she saw him tightly grasping Gu Zhiyin's clothes, curled up in her arms, staring at the person with a wary and fierce look on his face.

“Princess, this…” The old woman looked at Gu Zhiyin in embarrassment.

"Let me hold the child." Gu Zhiyin thought for a moment, picked up the child, and said to the wife of the Duke of Huguo, "Madam, I knocked out that woman and she is over there. The other person is my second sister. I don't know why she came here, and I knocked her out as well. To avoid any trouble, Madam, please detain her first and ask her the reason first."

The wife of the Duke of the Guard took a look at the place where the old woman fainted, her face darkened, and she showed gratitude to Gu Zhiyin: "Thanks to you today, otherwise the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion would have been in trouble. I will take care of the aftermath of things here, you go change your clothes first, be careful not to catch a cold."

Gu Zhiyin nodded slightly, and Liu Zhenzhen came forward to support her and went to the nearest Qiu Shui Pavilion.

Mother Hu originally went to get some clothes from the carriage, but was stopped by Mother Luo on the way. Her master had been knocked unconscious and was murdered. Even though Mother Hu had seen a lot of dirty things in the mansion, she was frightened out of her wits by this incident. She didn't even know where the clothes she had prepared for Gu Zhiyin were.

But before Mother Hu could worry about this, a maid brought new clothes, and everyone helped Gu Zhiyin and the young man change into clean clothes.

Soon, the boiling ginger soup was brought in.

"Princess, my dear, please drink a bowl of wine to drive away the cold."

Gu Zhiyin nodded, holding the bowl and drinking from it in small sips.

Seeing this, the boy also obediently picked up the bowl and drank.

There was a maid standing behind each of them, drying their hair.

After drinking a bowl of ginger soup, Gu Zhiyin finally felt relaxed. Turning around, he saw that Liu Zhenzhen was unusually quiet.

"Zhenzhen, what's wrong with you?"

Liu Zhenzhen stared at Gu Zhiyin blankly, her red lips twitched, her expression aggrieved and uneasy: "Sister Gu..."

She was raised and cared for by her family, and she only saw the good side of things, but that doesn't mean she knows nothing.

Someone was going to kill someone in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion. Although she didn't know the child, all those who came to the banquet today were dignitaries from the capital. If anyone's son died in their mansion, the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion would be in trouble.

Worse still, it might even implicate the Empress.

So Liu Zhenzhen is still a little frightened and unable to recover.

Seeing this, Gu Zhiyin realized that Liu Zhenzhen was uneasy, so she took her hand and patted it gently.

The boy blinked his beautiful eyes, put down the bowl in his hand, grabbed Gu Zhiyin's hand, and asked her to hold his hand.

As if to say, he also needs comfort.

Gu Zhiyin couldn't help but laugh, but didn't pull her hand away.

At this time, the door opened and the wife of the Duke of Protectorate walked in, followed by her eldest son, Liu Dongmo.

"Princess." Liu Dongmo entered the room and bowed to Gu Zhiyin. "There are many people at the banquet today. If we all leave, it will probably cause panic and random speculation. So father stayed at the banquet and let me handle this matter."

The wife of the Duke of Huguo stepped forward and took Gu Zhiyin's hand, saying guiltily, "I'm sorry to have scared you. I never thought that someone would put a magic incense in the house, knock you unconscious and abduct you. Thanks to your alertness and intelligence, you took precautions in advance. Otherwise, if something happened to you, I really don't know how to explain to the Pingyang Palace. Not only did you not blame us, but you helped us and saved the Liu family from being plotted against."

She still shudders when she thinks back on it now.

Whose way and eyes did the Duke of the Guardian's Mansion block, that they kept plotting and harming people in their mansion.

If someone succeeds today, and Cheng Shuli and Gu Zhiyin are in trouble, their Duke's Mansion's century-old reputation will be ruined, and then even the Duke and his sons will be implicated.

What's worse, even the Queen will be affected.

What a cruel and dirty trick.

"Thank you, Princess, for your help today. I am grateful!" Liu Dongmo continued.

"Madam, you are too polite, but this is a matter of life and death. I will not stand idly by if I encounter this. I wonder whose child this is?"

Not to mention her relationship with Liu Zhenzhen, even if it was in someone else's house, she would not stand by and watch someone die.

The person who plotted against her also wanted to destroy her relationship with the Liu family. There was a noticeable fragrance in the house, which showed that the person who did it was very hasty in preparation. However, if one was not careful, it would be easy for him to fall into the trap.

The wife of the Duke of Huguo said, "He is the only son of Cheng Hong, the commander of the Imperial Guard. Madam Cheng is not in good health. She was pregnant with several children before, but she couldn't keep them. Commander Cheng loves Madam Cheng deeply and doesn't want to take a concubine. Madam Cheng has been looking for a child everywhere. She finally got such a son in her middle age. She loves him like the apple of her eye. If something happens to him in our house..."

Having said this, the wife of the Duke of Protectorate's face suddenly turned gloomy.

The person who wanted to drown Cheng Shuli clearly wanted the Liu family and the Cheng family to become enemies.

Gu Zhiyin looked surprised when he heard this.

The eldest son of the Cheng family fell into the water and died?

She suddenly remembered that this incident had indeed happened in her previous life, but not in this year, nor in the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, but at a palace banquet.

The only legitimate son of the Cheng family fell into the water and died in the Imperial Garden. At first, it was thought to be an accident, but later a woman's earrings were found on the shore. Commander Wu suspected that it was man-made and knelt before the emperor to ask him to investigate thoroughly. The emperor valued Commander Wu and naturally responded to his request. Moreover, this was his only son and an accident in the palace could not be left unresolved.

After a series of investigations, they finally found the people around the queen.

But there was no clear evidence to prove that it was the Queen who ordered the act, and in the end a palace maid was executed.

Commander Cheng said nothing on the surface, but in his heart he hated the Queen and the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion, and the two families fought fiercely both openly and secretly.

"Mrs. Cheng is not at the table. I have sent someone to look for her," said the wife of the Duke of Protectorate.

Liu Zhenzhen looked up and asked, "Did the old lady confess? Is she from our house?"

The wife of the Duke of Huguo said, "Yes, he is very stubborn and refuses to admit it." Then, she said with anger on her face, "This beast eats the food of my Liu family, but helps outsiders to frame the Liu family."

Gu Zhiyin frowned slightly and lowered his eyes in thought.

Liu Dongmo looked at her and asked, "What did the Princess think of?"
