Quick Wear: Men who steal the heroine will become addicted

Chapter 22 General Gu, if you steal, I will steal too

"Mian, Mian Sheng?"

Liusu was so frightened that the wooden comb in her hand fell to the ground with a snap.

"What, is there a problem?"

Qiao Chu gently stroked her temples and took off a small earring from her earlobe. Her face was not made up, just like a lotus emerging from clear water, naturally without any embellishment.

Liusu hesitated and said, "Your Highness, I am really worried."

"His Majesty has always been at odds with you. He hasn't summoned you for three years since the wedding, and he's never summoned you to the palace during festivals. If we act on our own, we're afraid we'll anger His Majesty."

Qiao Chu looked at herself in the mirror, picked up a charcoal pencil and lightly drew her eyebrows, lowering the ends of her eyebrows. Even when she was not frowning, she looked like Xishi holding her heart, which made her look more innocent and pitiful.

"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? His Majesty and I are blood relatives, and he treats me very well. You are not allowed to make up stories behind my back."

"It's been a long time since we last met. I miss A'Luo so much. Even if I can just see him from afar, it will at least ease some of the pain of missing him."

Liusu was puzzled. Wasn't the general returning to the capital today? Why was His Highness thinking of His Majesty instead?

In the past, Her Highness would not have said such words. When it was just the two of them in the room, the person she complained to the most was His Majesty.

In Liusu's opinion, His Majesty the Emperor was indeed heartless. He sent the general to war on the wedding night, causing Your Highness to be looked down upon in the palace, and the Emperor never supported Your Highness.

She wanted to ask more, but Qiao Chu kept silent and just asked her to pick a peach branch to tie her hair.

After Liusu left, Qiao Chu's ears moved slightly, and he heard the extremely subtle sound of stepping on tiles on the roof, as light as a falling swallow. It must be the sound of someone with great lightness skills.

The eldest princess has no relatives and is all alone. The only person who has the time to pay attention to her is the man in the palace.

It seems that the rift with the emperor was not instigated by others, but was caused by the eldest princess herself.

On the wedding day, her husband was called to war by his younger brother. Qiao Chu could understand the original owner's dissatisfaction, but cursing him every day, wasn't that courting death?

After all, falling in love can cause a lot of harm.

Qiao Chu's sixth sense was not wrong.

The imperial city was magnificent with carved beams and painted buildings. Shadow guard Qiao Shiyi climbed over the eaves and walls and had a face-to-face encounter with the chief eunuch Wu.

"Your Majesty is in a bad mood today. He just broke several blue and white antiques. Be careful when you go in. Keep silent if you shouldn't."

"Master, don't worry. Eleven knows his limits."

In the quiet and solemn imperial study, the young and handsome emperor sat at the desk, his muscular body wrapped in an exquisite and gorgeous dragon robe, and his long jade-white fingers twisted a pink and white peach blossom.

"Did she really say that?"

Qiao Shiyi, dressed in black, half-knelt, "I dare not conceal anything. Her Highness the Princess's exact words—"

"It's been a long time since we last met. I miss A'Luo so much. Even if I can just see him from afar, it will at least ease some of the pain of missing him."

"Snapped!"

The emperor was not paying attention for a moment and broke the flower branch in the porcelain vase with two fingers. The sharp wood chips pierced into his fingertips, and blood immediately oozed out.

He was completely unaware of this, and held the bunch of peach blossoms tightly in his hand like a treasure, and the gloomy look on his face completely disappeared.

"She's going to the palace. Why didn't you report it earlier? Quick, follow me, bathe and change clothes, and then go to Weiyang Palace. Have the kitchen prepare all the food and pastries..."

Qiao Shiyi said expressionlessly, "Yes."

From the General's Mansion to the Imperial Study, this was already his fastest pace. To go faster... was almost impossible. Even his master couldn't do it.

Outside the palace gate, in the carriage, Liusu tugged at her rough plain clothes uncomfortably, with a hint of retreat on her little face.

"Your Highness, the general has returned victorious and a grand palace banquet is being held. It's inappropriate for us to dress like this!"

The plain white dress doesn't look like she's wearing a welcoming dress, but rather like she's wearing mourning clothes.

Although I don't have money and can't afford silk and satin, I should at least wear festive colors so that outsiders won't point fingers at me.

Qiao Chu understood what she meant and said bluntly, "I've been a widow for three whole years. What's wrong with wearing white? I'll just kill that bastard Gu Yanchen."

When Liusu heard this, her eyes immediately turned red. "Your Highness, could it be that you have heard about it too?"

Qiao Chu nodded lightly, then stood up and got out of the carriage gracefully.

General Weiyuan Gu Yanchen returned to Beijing, accompanied by a fairy in white. The fairy was beautiful and kind-hearted, and her generosity spread throughout the streets and alleys.

It is said that Gu Yanchen will bring that nameless woman to the palace today to ask for reward.

Rumor has it that the woman had great medical skills and saved many wounded young generals in the army with her rejuvenating hands.

Liu Su was indignant. "She only saved the general and not the soldiers. I knew that vixen had bad intentions when I heard that. Look, she's hooking up with our general!"

Qiao Chu knocked her forehead and said, "You, you, your mouth is the source of all trouble. If you have anything to say, keep it to yourself. I will learn from her what kind of person she is."

Liusu held her prince firmly. She was still angry, but inexplicably she felt calmer, as if she had suddenly found a backbone.

Her Royal Highness the Princess is really different today. If it were in the past, she would definitely be very angry.

Qiao Chu had the system's Martial Arts Saint Body buff, and with sharp ears and eyes, he saw from afar that there was another carriage parked outside the palace gate. The curtain was half lifted, revealing a large area of ​​a woman's skirt.

Eunuch Wu had been waiting for a long time and hurried to greet them. "Your Highness, Princess, why did you come down here? His Majesty has granted you special permission, and the palace guards are not allowed to stop you."

Qiao Chu lowered her eyes and smiled slightly, glancing at the shabby carriage with just the right amount of embarrassment. "Thank you, Eunuch Wu, for the message. I can walk to see His Majesty."

Eunuch Wu took a closer look and saw that the eldest princess' carriage was small and old, and the horses pulling it were of inferior quality. It was not even as magnificent as the carriage that General Gu and his female relatives brought with them.

After all, the eldest princess is a member of the royal family and represents the face of the royal family. Even though she married into the general's mansion, she should not be treated so lightly.

He suddenly felt a little unhappy, and with a wave of his hand, the palace servants immediately brought the sedan chair.

"Your Highness, please get on the sedan chair. It's the midday sun, and if you walk there, His Majesty will punish me!"

So Qiao Chu sat comfortably on the soft chair again, with a canopy above her head to block out the sun. Her scene was even more grand than that of the favorite concubines in the palace.

Liusu followed beside them, her eyes almost popping out of her head in shock.

She just couldn't understand why His Majesty hated Her Highness so much.

How come not only did he send the most favored eunuch Wu to welcome him, but he was also so considerate. Now she would believe that the eldest princess and His Majesty have a deep sibling relationship!

Qiao Chu smiled without saying anything. It seemed that her younger brother had taken her earlier words of truth to heart.

Liusu was outspoken, and since Eunuch Wu was a kind man who had watched her grow up, she immediately asked, "Uncle Wu, whose daughter is that in the carriage outside the palace gate?"

Eunuch Wu sneered, "A country woman, vulgar and barbaric, unworthy of public appearance, has disgraced the eyes of Her Royal Highness the Princess."

The woman in white in the carriage was Gu Yanchen's savior, Su Yu, a rejuvenating expert who was famous in the army.

She had no maid with her, only two guards. She had just lifted the curtain when she heard some noise outside.

"What are the identities of those two women who just entered? Why are they riding in such a tattered car and not dressed like noble ladies, yet they were able to enter the palace before us?"
