In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Next door, Sun Nanxing knocked on the wall and whispered to it, "Gu Liang, why are you still awake so late?"

"..."

When Gu Liang heard the noise, his heart softened. He turned his head and whispered to the wall, "I'm going to sleep soon."

"I just went out to relieve myself."

"So he went to relieve himself."

Sun Nanxing's voice was filled with a hint of laughter, so he said to Gu Liang jokingly, "Are you urinating frequently and urgently?"

"I see you've been out and about all night. Oh my god... If you have frequent urination and urgency, I'll find a doctor to take a good look at you later."

Gu Liang was completely speechless.

He shook his head helplessly and warned Sun Nanxing inside: "You better stop talking. If you keep talking nonsense, do you believe I will beat you?!"

"Oh, okay, okay, please don't hit me. I'm afraid of you."

Sun Nanxing smiled and said to Gu Liang, "Just take care of your own body. Don't be too anxious."

Gu Liang was stunned for a moment, then he understood what Sun Nanxing meant. She was trying to comfort himself.

No matter how good Gu Liang is, there is still one shortcoming, that is, Gu Liang's status and position are not high.

He had never been to the palace and had little contact with royal family members, so Sun Nanxing was worried that he would not be able to adapt.

A warm feeling passed through Gu Liang's heart. Sun Nanxing was... so nice to him. It would be great if there were a few people in this world who were sincere to him.

As for other people's hypocrisy, it doesn't matter.

Gu Liang said softly to Sun Nanxing: "Go to sleep quickly. You may have something to do early tomorrow morning."

Sun Nanxing heard the conversation and muttered, "What else could it be? Didn't we bring everyone here?!"

"Your Majesty will probably send us back soon. My father is also afraid that something might happen to us in the palace."

Hearing this, Gu Liang smiled and turned off the lights.

In the middle of the night, he suddenly felt some movement beside him.

Suddenly, a sharp blade was placed directly on Gu Liang's neck.

Gu Liang was immediately awakened by the shock!

When he opened his eyes, he saw a man in black.

The man in black had a cold voice, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry: "You... are Gu Liang?"

Gu Liang was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. Who is this person? !

I came to Kyoto by myself, so I shouldn’t have any enemies.

Could it be that he is the Queen's man? !

The man in black looked at Gu Liang's reaction and the increasingly heavy breathing in the dark night, and showed Gu Liang a terrifying smile: "I am not the queen's man, you don't have to worry so much."

"I am Bai Lu's mortal enemy. My name is Pei Huizhou. You can just call me Pei Huizhou."

"..."

Gu Liang was stunned after hearing this, and he followed Pei Huizhou's words and said, "Since you are Bai Lu's mortal enemy, then as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, why do you put a knife on my neck?!"

Pei Huizhou immediately showed a gratified expression: "Of course your father, the governor of Qingzhou, has a good relationship with Bai Lu. I really find it strange that you and your father are on different paths."

"You should also have a good relationship with Bai Lu."

Gu Liang was happy, "Of course it's because of my mother."

He spoke calmly to Pei Huizhou, "My mother, Zhao Cuicui, is not a good person. She insulted Marquis Anguo many times! The reason why I broke off relations with Marquis Anguo was because of this."

"I'm afraid of insulting Marquis Anguo. If he gets angry, he'll report it to His Majesty. Then wouldn't all my efforts over the years be in vain?! All in vain!!"

Gu Liang tried hard to look angry and said to Pei Huizhou, "So, there's nothing I can do now!"

Pei Huizhou nodded. This was similar to what he had found in Qingzhou.

He asked Gu Liang meaningfully, "Then why is the relationship between you and Bai Lu so bad? Why can't it be restored?"

His eyes were full of inquiry.

Gu Liang immediately said: "Of course it's because I once liked Bai Lu when I was young. At that time, Bai Lu was just a village girl, but she rejected me."

"I can't say I'm a good person, nor a bad one, but I have a bad habit, which is being too proud. So I broke up with her and immediately moved my family to the area near the Bai Ludong Academy in Qingzhou."

"......Alas, I never expected that she would become the Marquis of Anguo. I don't have any complaints or intentions to curry favor with her, but I do want to reconcile with her in the end."

"It's a pity that we can't go back to the past now, so let's just forget about it."

Pei Huizhou asked, "So, what do you think of Bai Lu?"

Gu Liang replied: "I don't have any thoughts about her, as long as we don't interfere with each other."

"I don't offend her, and she won't interfere with my affairs."

"But I didn't expect that my mother Zhao Cuicui would come to mess with me and her again and again, always saying things that were confusing and hard to explain, which made the relationship between the two of us more and more strained."

After hearing these words, Pei Huizhou nodded, very satisfied, and took down the knife, which still had a little blood on it.

Gu Liang only felt a slight pain in his neck, but it didn’t matter, he could accept it, at least his life was saved.

The palace is really dangerous.

He smiled at Gu Liang and said, "Then the enemy of my enemy is my friend, so we two are also friends."

"Here, shake hands."

"..."

Gu Liang twitched the corner of his mouth and immediately stretched out his hand.

My palms are cold at this moment, and there is even a hint of cold sweat.

After he shook hands with Pei Huizhou, Gu Liang said, "But speaking of which, Lord Pei, what can we...cooperate on?"

"I don't seem to have anything valuable on me."

"!!!"

Gu Liang's words changed Pei Huizhou's expression. He snorted coldly and said sarcastically, "Whether there is anything to cooperate with is not up to you to decide."

"After all, the decision is in my hands. Otherwise, I'd rather just kill you with one blow."

Gu Liang immediately changed the subject and said to Pei Huizhou: "Then Sir Pei, please tell me what you want to say. I will fully cooperate with you, Sir Pei."

Pei Huizhou nodded, very satisfied, and said to Gu Liang with a smile: "You know Concubine Liang, right?"

Gu Liang nodded, then said hesitantly: "I heard from the palace people when I passed by that Concubine Liang is someone who must not be provoked. She is second only to the queen in the palace, and she has Bai Yansong as her backing..."
