The enchanting beauty is pregnant, and the heirless male protagonist is overjoyed!

Gu Yunyan walked out quickly, and when her figure disappeared around the corner, she could still vaguely hear Gu Ya's unhappy voice.

"Madame Chun, who is that woman?"

"You didn't even show your true face when meeting the Empress. This is extremely disrespectful to Her Majesty. You should be beaten with twenty sticks in public as a warning to others."

Twenty strokes of the cane were enough to kill a weak woman.

Even though it has not been completely confirmed whether it is Gu Yunyan, or whether she is the woman that the Queen wants to send to the Third Prince's Mansion.

She had developed a vicious mind and wanted to beat a living person to death.

It's as simple and common as eating and drinking water.

At this moment, Gu Yunyan was truly certain that Gu Ya was definitely the murderer of the original body.

I just don't know who else is involved.

Otherwise, how could Yanlin harm people in the palace heavily guarded by the Queen and still get away with it.

I just hope it's not the worst outcome she imagined.

Gu Yunyan looked up at the bright moon, with a trace of worry and sadness between her brows.

......

Outside the palace, the third prince’s residence.

Wei Hu frowned and said with worry in his eyes: "Your Highness, tomorrow is General Gu's welcoming banquet, and you have always refused to accept Miss Gu."

"The Second Prince is pursuing Miss Gu relentlessly."

"If Miss Gu is moved, they will get married. General Gu dotes on Miss Gu so much, he will definitely make an exception and support the Second Prince to seize the throne."

"I'm afraid our chances of winning are slim."

Not only is it not big, Su Yuan has never married and has no children, but there is still someone in the court who supports him.

In addition to his own strong abilities, he can also convince the public.

The second reason was that after the crown prince died, the emperor wanted him to come back to restrain the second prince and prevent the second prince's family from dominating the country; the other reason was that the crown prince had a son.

It's not that he has no children. At worst, he can adopt the prince's son to inherit the throne.

But after all, it is better to have your own biological son.

Wei Hu thought secretly in his heart, after going through so much trouble to win the throne, would His Highness really be happy about it being inherited by his brother's offspring?

Su Yuan stood in front of the window with his hands behind his back.

He looked up at the dim half-moon, the cold light shone on him, and a gust of evening breeze blew by.

His hair fluttered gently backwards and he stood tall.

He seemed even more ethereal and cold, like a fairy who wanted to fly away on the wind, unattainable and at the same time frightening.

Su Yuan's eyes are sharp and his voice is clear and magnetic.

He also hinted at sarcasm: "The Queen Mother will not let Gu Ya marry the Second Prince, so there is no need to worry."

Ah.

Did the Queen really think that he didn't know that he knew nothing and her ultimate goal?

The eldest brother of the crown prince was the first gift he gave her in return.

Wei Hu scratched his head and smiled. Your Highness is right. The Queen is here and she will not just sit there and do nothing.

......

The next day, Imperial Garden.

The welcoming banquet began and all the court officials arrived.

The emperor was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and looked very old. But now he was sitting at the top, laughing heartily.

"General Gu has guarded the border for many years, and this time he has returned with a great victory."

"What reward do you want for defeating the Tatars? Tell me and I will grant it."

The court officials also laughed.

"General Gu, why don't you speak quickly? The emperor is lenient towards me, so don't be restrained, just speak."

"General Gu's children are already adults. This time he comes back, he should settle their marriage before returning to the border."

"Miss Gu is as beautiful as a flower, and many young men in the capital want to marry her."

"I wonder if General Gu has decided which family he wants to marry into?"

This question was asked by Duke Lin, the Queen's biological father. It seemed casual and unintentional, but it actually contained a mystery.

Among them, there is the intention of marrying into the Gu family.

The people on the Second Prince's side thought that he was asking on behalf of Su Yuan, and they all lowered their heads, secretly cursing Duke Lin for being cunning and shameless.

He asked it so blatantly.

Gu Lin had a full beard, a dark complexion, a fierce aura, and bright eyes that occasionally flashed with brilliance.

Not as rough as it looks.

The second prince was anxious. Everyone in the capital knew that Gu Ya liked Su Yuan. General Gu wouldn't really agree, right?

He smiled gently and said, "Marriage is a serious matter that should be treated with caution."

"General Gu has not even gotten to know the talents of the young men in the capital, but he hastily made a decision to marry Ya'er..."

As soon as the word "Ya'er" came out.

The second prince paused, then realized that he had made a slip of the tongue and called her too intimately. A thin layer of red appeared on his gentle face.

He immediately changed his words and said, "It's not good for Miss Gu's happiness in life."

Gu Lin looked at him sharply and frowned slightly. His Gu family had always remained neutral.

Gu Ya could like anyone else, but she has to like the third prince and is entangled with the second prince.

I'm afraid the emperor has become suspicious of the Gu family and no longer trusts them.

His voice was rough and deep, and he clasped his hands together and said, "Your Majesty, I came back this time to choose a wife and a son-in-law for my two children."

"Once I have discussed this with my wife at home, I will come and ask the emperor to grant me the marriage."

The emperor's eyes were deep, he took a sip of wine and said with a smile: "I agree, General Gu, once you have chosen the candidate, just go to the palace and ask for permission."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

......

When it was confirmed that Gu Lin was going to arrange marriages for his two children, the court officials became excited and began to think about it.

Ministers who had children of marriageable age at home started chatting with Gu Lin.

The Queen and the Second Prince's people also took action, pulling Gu Lin aside to ask him all sorts of questions, drinking and having fun together to build relationships.

The people on Su Yuan's side didn't move at all.

The Second Prince didn't know that the Queen's men were also implicated on him, and he looked at him with hostility and vigilance.

Su Yuan's eyes were cold, indifferent and distant.

Watching the dancers on the stage tumbling and jumping, they seemed to be immersed in the singing and dancing, with no attention to anything else.

The drum dance performance is over.

A charming and dignified woman wearing a milky white dress and a veil of the same color, with a graceful figure, sat in the middle of the stage.

He began to play the piano, and melodious music emerged.

Gu Lin, who was talking to someone, felt a tremor in his heart and suddenly turned to look at the musician playing the piano.

The piece played is "Double Lotus"!

It was the love song between him and his wife. He had never heard this song again after she left.

Look carefully.

He was even more surprised. Except for a dot of cinnabar between the eyebrows, the eyebrows and expression were so similar.

She actually looks a bit more like Yaer than him.

More than ten years have passed, but Gu Lin has not forgotten what his original wife looked like. Whenever he has time, he will take out her portrait and look at it.

Instead of having a vague memory, I remember it even more clearly.

Seeing his dazed look, the Queen hid the smile on her lips with the help of wine, because there was still a surprise to come.

A song is played.

Gu Yunyan stood up and saluted, the veil on her face fell off, revealing her peerless beauty.

Many court officials could not control their exclamations.

Who among them had not liked Gu Wenshi when they were young? It was a pity that Gu Wenshi and Gu Lin were childhood sweethearts, and they were unable to snatch the beauty away from her.

Now I see someone who is 80% or 90% similar, or even more dazzling.

As they were amazed, they all looked at Gu Lin, wanting to see how he reacted.

What was Gu Lin’s reaction?

His heart was beating wildly, and he looked at Gu Yunyan with burning eyes. He knew very well that this was a trap set for him.

But he missed his wife so much that he was willing to join the game.
