In order to avoid getting caught at the palace banquet tonight, Gu Yanning only ate two pieces of cake at the Princess Jin's seat, but did not dare to eat more.

The two of them had a few snacks together and drank some tea to moisten their throats.

Lu Jiaocai said, "Yes, Sister Xingxuan stayed by the prince's side tonight, and I have been watching your movements from the dark."

"Where is Luo Shumin?"

"She climbed into the emperor's bed and she's never coming back."

"Oh my god! How dare she! Is there some misunderstanding here?"

In front of the little girl, Lu Jiao suppressed his evil spirit and said, "I sent her there."

!!!

Gu Yanning was stunned on the spot, totally unable to believe how this little girl in front of her, who looked younger than herself, dared to do such a rebellious thing.

Xiuxue's legs went weak and she grabbed the frame of the floor cover, narrowly avoiding falling to the ground.

After a while, Gu Yanning regained his consciousness: "Why?"

Lu Jiao had lived in the last days for so many years, and he hated the Virgin Mary the most, so he explained: "Treat others as they have treated you.

Xiao Xu and Luo Shumin want to snatch your husband away. You don't think there's anything wrong with what I'm doing, do you? "

Gu Yanning could hear the bad intention in Lu Jiao's words and denied it repeatedly: "No, no! I was just too surprised for a moment and I haven't recovered yet."

She had a kind filter towards Yan Yuanhao's men, and felt that they would definitely not intentionally harm anyone.

"What on earth do they want to do to me?"

Lu Jiao said lightly: "It's nothing, I just want to pair you up with the third son of the Xuanwei Marquis family, and then exchange your brother the prince for Luo Shumin."

"How could they do this!" Xiuxue was so angry that she was shaking all over and her nails almost made her palms bleed.

She turned around and wanted to rush out: "I want to ask the Princess Consort why you treat the young lady like this!"

Lu Jiao hooked the belt around her waist and pulled her back.

"What are you going to do? Are you going to get beaten up? Come back now!"

But Gu Yanning was concerned about another point.

"Who is this Third Young Master Xuanwei?"

"He is a man who cherishes women. The maids in the courtyard are all waiting for the wife to come home so that they can become concubines!"

Gu Yanning and Xiuxue immediately understood and said in unison with red faces: "Ridiculous!"

Lu Jiao did not comment, and then said to Gu Yanning: "The prince asked me to go here. In addition to sending you a letter to let you know that I am safe, I also want to tell you what happened so that you can respond.

Our prince doesn't want you to have any more expectations of Xiao Xu.

Your marriage is not the most important thing at the moment.

The prince's people met your brother by chance on the street before, and he is really useless.

Moreover, as long as he exists, it will be impossible for Xiao Xu's son to ascend to the position of crown prince.

Do you think it is possible that Xiao Xu would let you and your brother go?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the last glimmer of hope in Gu Yanning's heart disappeared completely.

She stammered, "What should I do..."

Suddenly she seemed to remember something and asked again, "Xingyue, do you think the prince can help me send a letter to my father?"

Lu Jiao did not answer her question directly, but asked in return: "You said that in the past six or seven years, you, as a daughter, have never sent him a letter. Does he really know nothing about it?"

Gu Yanning collapsed on the kang as if all her energy had been drained away. Xiuxue hurried over to support her young lady.

"You are such an interesting maid, why are you trying to scare our young lady?"

She wanted to say something unpleasant, but Gu Yanning grabbed her wrist.

My throat sounded very dry and hoarse, as if I hadn't spoken for many years.

"Miss, if you have any advice, please tell me directly."

Lu Jiao smiled slightly. She was indeed a smart man and could see through her purpose at once.

"Miss is indeed smart. I just said a few words to make you face reality.

Although my son can always help the young lady, people always get tired, don't they?"

Xiuxue half-hugged Gu Yanning in her arms and glared at Lu Jiao fiercely: "Why, did your family's son ask you to say this?"

This was also what Gu Yanning wanted to ask in her heart, and she was afraid to hear the word "yes" from Lu Jiao.

"No.

I just want to tell you, young lady, that the road ahead for you and your husband may be full of thorns.

Even if you can't help the prince, don't hold him back."

"How funny! You actually said that the prince's future is full of thorns."

Gu Yanning's face seemed to be covered with frost, and she shouted, "Xiuxue! Go guard outside!"

"Miss!" Xiuxue was worried that her young lady and Xingyue were alone in the room.

"Go!"

Xiuxue walked out reluctantly, moved the embroidery cushion, and sat down in a place where she could see the door and hear the movement in the inner room.

Gu Yanning looked apologetic and smiled at Lu Jiao: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Miss Xingyue. In your opinion, what should I do?"

Lu Jiao had no idea how to teach others how to do things, so she analyzed the current situation to Gu Yanning.

The little girl's eyes were filled with heartache when she heard this, and she completely forgot that Lu Jiao started her story by talking about the plight of her siblings in the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion.

She bit her handkerchief and said, "Was the prince's life so miserable in the past?"

Although Gu Yanning was trapped in the rear house, fortunately her mother's dowry was in her own hands, which was much better than Yan Yuanhao's situation.

Lu Jiao found it a little difficult to understand. Shouldn’t the current dilemma be how to protect his younger brother?

"Sister Xingyue! I understand! I will definitely teach my brother well and make him a man of integrity!

This will also prove to the prince that I can be a good wife and help him, so that he doesn't have to worry about anything!"

Gu Yanning's face was serious, and the pain in her eyes turned into determination, as if she was ready to take the oath immediately.

This made Lu Jiao laugh and cry for a moment.

What do you understand? It's all wrong! I asked you to learn political intrigues and house fighting, but why did you decide to be a good wife?

Lu Jiao looked unhappy when he left.

Xiuxue couldn't make up her mind whether the marriage between her daughter and the prince was a good thing or not.

When she closed the door and returned to the inner room, she found that her young lady, who had been unable to sleep due to boredom, was now lying on the bed and sleeping with a smile on her face.

Doesn’t seem like a bad thing?

Lu Jiao didn’t know whether talking so much to Gu Yanning tonight was a good thing or a bad thing.

In short, she made up her mind not to get involved in such matters again.

Lu Jiao changed his route and went to Shuntian Prefecture.

She had previously learned about the household registration process from Lu Wei, and this time she went to Shuntian Prefecture to create a new identity.

She wanted to develop an underground force that belonged to her alone.

First of all, you need a base.

She had a lot of banknotes stored in her space, but if they weren't exchanged for silver or spent, they were just pieces of waste paper.

It would be better to change it into real estate and a farm.

In addition, she also wanted to see a map of the area near the capital.

In this era, apart from the imperial study in the palace, only local government offices could find local maps.

To the northwest of the capital, a large area of foothills stretches westward for nearly a hundred miles.

She shook her head regretfully, they were all too short.
