Zhao Lingzhou grasped her delicate hand and caressed it lovingly.

"Ruo'er, we have to think long-term. Although I am deeply loved by my father now, the position of the crown prince is not so easy to shake. If I am discovered, I will be doomed!"

"If I'm not absolutely sure, I won't marry you. Just in case... just in case I fail, you can get away with it."

Xing Ruo was the only woman he wanted to marry in his life, so he let her follow him without any status.

He also felt guilty.

The two met while racing horses in the western suburbs. The first time he saw her, he felt that she was different from other women.

In her eyes, human life is equal, and everything in the world is equal.

She would let the maidservants who served her wear the same clothes as herself, wear the same jewelry, and eat the same cakes as herself.

When she sees injustice, she will draw her sword to help.

She is so special, so kind and beautiful.

His Ruoer always has a lot of new ideas in her mind.

He fell deeply in love with her from the first time he saw her.

Gu Xingruo was moved by what was said. She leaned on the man's shoulder and spoke softly.

"I know you're having a hard time, I won't force you. Lingzhou, if there's anything I can do to help you, you must tell me."

She remembered that at the end of the book, he would become emperor.

Gu Xingruo's heart beat fast when she thought about the future emperor loving her, respecting her and caring about her so much.

"My feelings for you are clear as day and night. As long as I ascend to the throne, I will marry you as my queen. I, Zhao Lingzhou, will never break my promise!"

"Now, if we want to bring down the prince, we must first cut off his arms."

"The family of the General who guards the country has followed successive emperors since their ancestors. My father has great trust in the Jin family. General Jin only recognizes the crown prince. I have tried to win him over, but failed. He cannot be used by me, so I can only get rid of him!"

Originally, he did not dare to covet the throne.

But his father loved him, which made him want to compete for it.

The Jin family seems to be the emperor's people, but now it is obvious that they are on the side of the prince, so he must eliminate the Jin family.

By the time the prince’s power in the court is consolidated, it will be too late.

"You're right, the Jin family is indeed a disaster. Do you have any ideas?" Gu Xingruo wanted to help him and looked at him with starry eyes.

"In a few days, the Queen will host the Qujiang Banquet, and Father will be there in person every year."

"When the time comes, you can put this into our Zhenguo General wine."

He took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and put it in Gu Xingruo's hand.

Gu Xingruo opened the bottle and sniffed it, "What is this?"

"This is Burning Stone Powder. After taking it, you will go crazy and chop people. You will be insane. If General Jin takes it, he will lose his manners in front of the palace and lose the favor of his father."

The Qujiang Banquet was a banquet hosted by the Queen in order to establish good relations with princes and ministers.

Gu Boqing from the Gu family will definitely be there.

General Jin particularly doted on his daughter Jin Ruoyun, and she would sit next to the Gu family at the annual Qujiang Banquet.

Gu Xingruo was naturally close to him, so it was most appropriate for her to give him this medicine.

"Okay, I'll leave this to you! Don't worry, Lingzhou. For our future, I will definitely do everything for you~"

After listening to the whole thing, Jin Yuanyuan was so angry that her nose was blowing and she clenched her fists.

[Ah! How dare you be so mean! ]

[No wonder you two are a couple, you are so bad together! If I don't treat you as human beings, you will really be inhuman, right?]

[I thought my grandfather was really sick and crazy in his previous life and chopped people, but it turned out that you guys drugged him?! How could you two be so evil.]

There are some details in the book that are not fully described.

It only wrote that General Jin suddenly went crazy at the banquet and chopped a military minister.

When he regained consciousness, he had no memory of what happened when he went crazy.

From then on, the emperor developed a grudge against the Jin family.

My grandfather was unemployed at home for a year, and a lot of military power fell into the hands of the third prince.

[If this is loose, I should just give it to my scumbag dad to eat, so that he can show off and take Gu Xingruo to the banquet. He should be made to stay at home for a year! ]

Gu Xu thought his sister’s idea was good and worth a try.

When he got home, Gu Xu was thinking about the Qujiang Banquet in the house.

A few days later, someone from the palace came to inform us to attend a banquet.

"Uncle, Ruo'er also wants to attend the Qujiang Banquet. Ruo'er has never attended such a big banquet. I also want to go to the palace to take a look~" Gu Xingruo pouted and begged Gu Boqing.

Gu Boqing frowned, "Ruo'er, this is a palace banquet, you'd better not go."

"Why! Why can she participate but I can't? This is too much of a difference in treatment." She pointed at Jin Ruoyun who was holding the child, looking unconvinced.

Since Jin Ruoyun can go, it proves that she can bring her family with her.

If she is not allowed to go, how can she drug him? !

She must go!

The Third Prince said that this banquet is not so strict, and the families of princes and ministers can all go. As long as they are not particularly distant relatives, they can participate.

Even though someone pointed at her nose, Jin Ruoyun was not angry at all.

She advised Gu Xingruo as if she was coaxing an ignorant child.

"Xing Ruo, you should be more sensible and stop causing trouble for the master."

"Generally, when there are banquets in the palace, ministers bring their legal wives with them. Those illegitimate sons and daughters who are not presentable and petty are not allowed to go."

"You are a newcomer and don't know the rules of the palace. It would be bad if you offended the noble."

"When someone's family holds a poetry gathering in the future, your aunt will take you there. Just be good."

Petty and not presentable, a bastard's son or daughter.

These few words deeply hurt the fragile hearts of Sang Xiaowan and her two children.

When Sang Xiaowan heard the word "Shu", she was so angry that her teeth were almost broken.

For the sake of future wealth and glory, she suppressed her anger and pulled Gu Xingruo over to comfort him.

"Ruo'er, shut up! Stop talking."

"Mom! Why are you like this too?!" She wanted to say something to Gu Boqing.

Sang Xiaowan whispered in her ear to dissuade her, "Mother will arrange for you to go to Qujiang Banquet, don't lose face for your father now."

Wait until night.

Jin Ruoyun was coaxing Jin Yuanyuan to sleep when there was a knock on the door.

Dingxiang went to open the door to see who it was, and it was Ding Mo.

He didn't come in, but said something in Dingxiang's ear.

After hearing the message, Dingxiang's face darkened. After returning to the room, she looked at the lady coaxing the young lady to sleep, and she really couldn't bear to say it out loud.

Jin Ruoyun glanced at Dingxiang who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and said indifferently.

"Tell me, now that it has come to this, what is there that you cannot bear?" She fanned her daughter with her hand.

"My brother has been secretly watching Sang Xiaowan's yard as instructed by the Madam. He found out... found out that the master stayed there tonight. The lights were off and he didn't come out." Dingxiang looked at the Madam worriedly.

She paused for a moment while fanning herself, then continued fanning with a wry smile.

"It's just a matter of time. Don't make a fuss about it."

"It seems that with Sang Xiaowan's influence, Gu Xingruo has decided to go to the Qujiang Banquet."

She has completely given up on Gu Boqing.

It doesn't matter who he likes to mess around with or whose bed he likes to sleep on.

Just don't touch her, she finds it disgusting.

Jin Yuanyuan was babbling something in her sleep, but no one knew what she was saying.

She still had her finger in her mouth, giggling as if she had a sweet dream about something delicious.

Jin Ruoyun took away her daughter's hand that was holding her fingers.

Now she just wants to take care of her four children and live a peaceful life. All bad men should get out of here!

The next day, as they were preparing to leave for the Qujiang Banquet, Gu Boqing indeed brought Gu Xingruo with him.

When they arrived at the palace, Jin Yuanyuan's eyes rolled around.
