The man standing in front of the door turned around and took a deep look at the person behind him, his eyes full of frost. Just when the people behind the table thought he was about to get angry, they heard the man sigh, turned around and thought about it, and spoke

"Your Majesty, why did you have to spread such rumors? I am so scared that I can't help but worry..."

The no longer young emperor standing behind the table, called His Majesty, looked to be between 30 and 40 years old, but if he took good care of himself, he would look like he was just in his early 30s.

He walked to Gu Yanming's side, looked left and right, and saw that there seemed to be no one around. He patted him on the shoulder heavily and said, "Gu Aiqing, you know, I don't believe it either, but... the current situation is that we must not let the second brother find out. If he finds out, the second brother will be very interested in his life experience, and..."

The emperor showed an indescribable helplessness on his face. He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Besides, even if I didn't do this, it was originally a wasteland. Many crows went there. Who would dare to go there? So I...hid 'him' there."

"Ridiculous! Your Majesty, have you ever thought about what would happen if the Queen Mother found out about this..."

Gu Yanming changed his usual calm attitude and raised his voice slightly.

"Hush!" The man looked around carefully, glared at him again, and then he was relieved. He said softly: "Didn't I ask you to find a solution? Who knew that it would be exposed by that brat? I had no choice but to spread it. You should think of a solution for me. I don't want the Queen Mother to interfere in "this matter" again. The Queen Mother originally said..."

"Then Rong Chen, please think about it..."

After Gu Yanming finished speaking, he fell into deep thought.

The emperor on the side was not in a hurry for this moment. He waved his sleeves, walked slowly to the chair and sat down, looking at Gu Yanming seriously.

The man and the emperor stayed in the room. There was no sound in the study room. However, a figure in eunuch's clothes flashed by and disappeared at the window...

"Nothing can stop my yearning for freedom, Pegasus Meteor..."

Wen Baixu passionately sang one of his favorite songs of that era, a song that was more in line with his current reality. At the end of the song, the boy lowered his hand that was holding a bunch of sticks as a microphone, bowed low, and a happy expression appeared on his face.

"Thank you everyone~"

He walked towards the three people and sat on the stone bench.

Qiu Yu, who was sitting next to him, wiped the boy's sweat with a handkerchief and said with a look of complaint, "You can see that you are sweating. I told you to take it easy. You are an adult, and you are still following..."

"Huh~"

A cute and charming voice sounded in front of the group. The little girl, who was eating with a greasy face, looked at Qiu Yu with an unclear look.

"Sister, why are you so nice to him? Could it be..."

Just as the little girl was about to say something, she felt something hit her head. She looked carefully and found that Qiu Yu was already beside her, with both hands reaching towards her waist.

"Hahahaha~Sister~Sister~I can't stand it anymore, you...you don't want to"

A silver bell-like laughter rang out in the pavilion, while Qiuyu and Wen Baixu looked at the little girl and Qiuyu in front of them in silence.

"Qiuyu...Sister, I was wrong. I shouldn't have teased you...I give up."

As she spoke, she raised her hands in surrender.

Seeing this, Qiuyu put down her hand from her waist, stopped tickling, walked back, sat upright, picked up a cup of tea, blew on it, and took a sip.

"I am bored"

"So childish"

The two people sitting opposite Qiu Yu and the little girl couldn't help complaining in their hearts.

Qiuyu slowly put down the cup in her hand and glanced at Qiuyu and Wen Baixu.

The look was like a knife and cold rain, causing the two to tremble slightly and shake their heads.

"very good....."

Qiu Yu immediately retracted her gaze upon seeing this and nodded.

The man across from them wiped the saline solution from the corner of his eye that was scratched and said in a hoarse voice: "Really...you are..."

"With what?"

Qiuyu quickly interrupted the little girl who was looking at Qiuyu excitedly and asked curiously

"Uh~ I just want to say that if Sister Qiuyu's condition was given to that person, then she wouldn't have to... Alas~"

The little girl's face changed from excitement to regret, and she couldn't stop sighing.

This gave Qiuyu and Wen Baixu a chance. They looked at each other, stood up and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me~ Tell me."

The little girl, who was still immersed in the atmosphere of regret, was startled by the sudden question in front of her, and hurriedly stammered

"Uh~ that... that... that incident between Lu Shiniang from Ruyifang and the young master of the Jia family, everyone in the imperial capital knows about it, how come you haven't heard about it?"

"Lu...Shi Niang?"

Wen Baixu muttered to himself, with a question in his mind that kept growing.

"Hey~ I was wondering who it was. What's so strange about this? Before we set out, didn't we..."

Qiuyu sat back with a look of disdain and shook her head.

Seeing this, the little girl quickly shook her head and said, "No! Sister Qiuyu, the one you know is from before. Now the two of them have already reached the latest progress..."

He said this smugly, and looked at her with his chin raised, his eyes seemed to say 'If you beg me, I will tell you'

This irritated Qiu Yu, who was already hot-tempered, and she clenched her fists again. Just as she was about to lose her temper, she heard the young man beside her questioningly: "Lu Shiniang? Are you sure her last name is not Du? Ruyifang? Brothel?"

The little girl blushed when she heard that. She said incoherently, "What brothel? That's a proper music school. And Du? But Sister Lu has always been surnamed Lu. Don't talk nonsense, young master."

Watching and hearing the little girl's shy and angry words, Wen Baixu suddenly recalled what he knew. 'Fang means Jiaofang, which is a place dedicated to the entertainment of the royal family. He knew a big man who met his beloved in Fang.'

Wen Baixu shook his head at this moment, thinking that this was too far-fetched, and quickly raised his head, bowed to the little girl, and apologized repeatedly, "I'm so sorry, I offended you."

The little girl shook her head, her eyes slightly lowered, and a blush appeared on her face.

Seeing this, Qiuyu asked quickly, "Then tell me quickly, what happened next, don't tell me half and leave the other half."

The little girl came back to her senses and nodded repeatedly, but because there was someone who knew nothing at the scene, she started from the beginning.

"Ruyifang always brings out a lot of people to perform at every banquet. And sister, you also know that the people that Ruyifang brings out are always the best and the top-notch ones. Even His Majesty has praised them. So this incident happened at a banquet, at the birthday banquet for the fifth prince. You also know that His Majesty's favorite concubine is Concubine Hua, so her son's birthday banquet naturally cannot be too sloppy and must be top-notch. So Sister Lu went, and it was that time that I witnessed it at a glance..."

"what?"

Wen Baixu was stunned and couldn't help but wonder

Qiuyu glared at him speechlessly, and pouted at the storyteller without changing her expression.

The little girl nodded and continued, "Well, it's fine to say it, after all, it was the young master of the Jia family who first fell in love with Sister Lu, and Sister also fell in love with him. At that time, the young master of the Jia family spent a lot of money just to make Sister Lu smile. The news spread all over this circle. Everyone said that the young master of the Jia family was really infatuated. At that time, they were also a pair, appearing in various occasions from time to time, which was really enviable..."

Wen Baixu nodded when he heard this, but he still had some doubts in his heart. He slowly said, "Then the development of this story must not be so beautiful. In the end, it must be... one dies and the other leaves."

The reason why Wen Baixu said this was because he felt like he had heard this story before, and it was very similar to the story he knew.

The little girl was shocked when she heard this. She didn't know how this person knew it, but she could only suppress her emotions and nodded.

Qiuyu, who was standing by, looked at the boy and the little girl, her mouth opened wide, a little bit unbelievable.

"Young Master's guess is absolutely correct. This incident happened in the second month after Sister Qiuyu and Sister Qiuyu left. When Young Master Jia and Sister Lu were in love, their affair was suddenly known by the Jia family, especially the old lady in their family...hiss~I feel a little chilly when I think about it now..."

For the next few hours, the four of them listened to the little girl's story while digesting their tea...

"So... Lu Shiniang jumped into the lake?" Qiuyu looked incredulous. "That coward from the Jia family actually..."

The little girl nodded but shook her head

Qiuyu, who was standing by, looked at her anxiously, waiting for her to say the next word.

"Yes, a woman as strong-willed as Sister Lu could not bear such a great humiliation. She decided to jump into the lake to show her determination. It's just a pity that she originally thought she had met a good husband, but she didn't expect to fall into a wolf's den."

Just as the little girl was sighing, Wen Baixu interrupted and said, "How did you know? Didn't she jump into the lake?"

"Ah? You're saved? Didn't I... tell you?"

The little girl tilted her head in confusion and looked at the few people, but when she saw Qiuyu's expression change from speechless to gritting her teeth, she had no choice but to spread her hands tremblingly and said

"Well, she did jump into the lake, but was rescued by a fisherman who followed her fishing on the shore. She rested in the fishing village for a few days and returned to the imperial capital a few days ago. I also found out about it when I met someone from Ruyifang by chance when I was shopping. But no one knows about this for the time being, especially the fact that Sister Lu is still alive."

"Oh~"

Qiuyu sighed softly, as if she was feeling sorry for what she had experienced.

"Then no one really goes for..."

Just as Wen Baixu was about to continue speaking, he felt someone holding and squeezing his shoulder, and Qiu Yu's voice rang in his ears.

"The old lady of the Jia family is a distant cousin of Concubine Hua's father, and their family is naturally on the side of Prime Minister Hua. The reason they can do this is because Concubine Hua is deeply loved by His Majesty, and the Jia family is also able to be reused, and everyone in the family is promoted to heaven. Nowadays, no one in the imperial capital dares to mess with their family..."

As soon as Qiu Yu finished speaking, her puzzled face slowly darkened...
