Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

"Uncle San, do you have something to talk to me about?" Gu Qinghe stood in front of Gu Hong and asked with a faint smile.

"Qinghe, you're a smart kid. I think you guessed Third Uncle's intention." Gu Hong said apologetically, "Third Uncle knows that your second sister hasn't been very friendly to you since you returned to Beijing."

Gu Qinghe just listened indifferently and had no intention of responding immediately.

Seeing that his niece didn't follow his lead, Gu Hong could only bite the bullet and continue, "But she is your sister after all, and we will see each other often in the future. I don't think she can do anything. She has been taken to the Prince of Jin's Mansion for several days. Your third aunt has no news from her and is so worried that she can't sleep, so I came to find you."

After hearing what his uncle said, Gu Qinghe couldn't remain silent any longer. "Uncle, I understand what you mean. I won't hold it against my second sister for what happened before, but I won't cover up for her if something goes wrong in the future."

If Gu Ruoxing does something like climbing into someone else's bed again, she can't stand it. After all, Gu Ruoxing's husband has changed in this life...

"Of course." Gu Hong's expression softened after hearing his niece's words. "Third Uncle apologizes to you for what happened before."

"Uncle San, there's no need for that. It's not right for me to take the blame for someone else." Gu Qinghe said with a faint smile, "Besides, you are my elder."

"Okay, Qinghe is indeed an open-minded person." Gu Hong said with a smile.

By the way, Xiao Jingheng found some medicine that could be harmful to men in the main courtyard of the East Palace, which he planned to decorate carefully. It was sent by Princess Jin. This made him angry and he felt that Princess Jin would do anything for Prince Jin.

"Your Highness, I have handed the person over to the Ministry of Punishment, and according to your instructions, I have someone conduct a secret investigation and will not make it public." Han Desheng walked in quickly and said with an unstable breath.

Xiao Jingheng said "hmm" lightly, "We still have to go to Yufu Palace."

At this time, he couldn't be blamed for being suspicious. It was because his mother disliked Gu Qinghe so much and sent the pomegranate tree just a few days after she quarreled with him. He didn't believe that his mother would figure it out so quickly.

I'm afraid there's something fishy going on here.

How could the eunuchs in the inner court of the Eastern Palace have such an intimate relationship with the maids who cleaned the Yufu Palace?

Han Desheng followed behind the Crown Prince and could imagine the Crown Prince's frown. He secretly hoped that when he got there, he would not quarrel with Concubine Li anymore.

Although Concubine Li is not the legal mother, she is the biological mother after all. When the news spreads to the previous dynasty, the prince will also be reported, right?

By then, the Crown Princess will have the reputation of being a person who seduces the emperor before she even enters the gate of the Eastern Palace, which will be bad.

In that case, the one who would be most anxious would definitely be the prince, and the one who would be most sad would definitely be him, the eunuch.

Han Desheng thought of this, shook his head quickly, continued to follow the prince's footsteps, and soon arrived at the gate of Yufu Palace.

"Your servant pays his respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. I will go to the main hall to inform Concubine Li." The eunuch guarding the door quickly stood up straight when he saw the Crown Prince.

"Is the emperor here?" Xiao Jingheng asked.

The gatekeeper shook his head and said, "To answer your Highness, the Emperor is not here."

"Then there's no need to pass the message on. I'll just knock on the door myself." Xiao Jingheng said as he walked inside.

Arriving at the main hall entrance, I heard Concubine Li talking to a maid inside, "Ping'er, do you think I shouldn't have sent the pomegranate tree to the Eastern Palace? Liu Zheng also mentioned in the letter something about a surprise, hoping that the Crown Prince would be relieved by then. But will this make him think I've given in to that Gu Qinghe?"

After all, the task of having many children and bringing good fortune cannot be accomplished by the crown prince alone, and the burden still falls on the crown princess.

When the prince presented the pomegranate tree to her, he thought she was hoping that the princess would give birth to a son soon.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to be angry with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? There are many parents in the world who coax their children, but it is rare to see the other way around." Ping'er said with a smile.

"You have a point, but how can a child understand the painstaking efforts of their parents?" Concubine Li sighed. "Liu Zheng has already called off the engagement. Being his concubine will definitely not humiliate him. He actually said he wanted to forbid cousin marriages. What he said is too serious."

"Your Majesty, I used to have the same idea as you, hoping that Miss Ruan could accompany you for a long time so that I could take some time off. But later, I felt that no matter how close she was to you, she could never be as close as the Crown Prince and the future Crown Princess." Ping'er advised softly.

"Hmph, the Crown Princess? I don't even dare to think about the Crown Prince, so how dare you imagine that his wife is close to me?" Concubine Li asked two questions in succession, leaving Ping'er speechless.

Xiao Jingheng was listening at the door. Although this move was inappropriate, he had to act in an emergency and could not care less about these things. Now he heard that his mother only gave the pomegranate tree and did not take any other actions. He was even worried that he and Gu Qinghe would regard her act of giving the tree as a sign of submission.

Then the mother should have nothing to do with the palace maids who cleaned the house. It was also because the mother had always been picky and looked down on the lowest maids. How did the maid who cleaned the house get related to the Eastern Palace?

"Knock knock knock—" Xiao Jingheng signaled Han Desheng to go forward and knock on the door.

Ping'er came to open the door, and seeing that it was the Crown Prince, she immediately knelt down and saluted, "This servant pays respects to His Highness the Crown Prince."

"Get up." Xiao Jingheng raised his hand.

When Concubine Li saw the prince, she also had a serious face, sat upright in the main seat, and did not speak.

"Your son pays his respects to mother." Xiao Jingheng bowed.

"Prince, please stop being so polite. I can't even ask about your marriage to the Crown Princess. Why do you come to pay your respects to me?" Concubine Li spoke in a sarcastic tone and ignored Ping'er's wink. She was just angry.

"Mother, marrying the Crown Princess is a family matter as well as a state matter. You just need to take care of yourself and serve father well." Xiao Jingheng said.

Concubine Li curled her lips. Of course she knew that the emperor had told her this a long time ago, but she was just afraid. She didn't raise the prince, and she didn't like the prince's consort. She didn't want Ruan Liuzheng to be a concubine. She felt that the prince was too far away from her.

It's like a kite with a broken string.

"I had nothing to do today, so I went to the main courtyard of the East Palace. The palace maid said that my mother had sent a pomegranate tree. I came here specially to thank my mother." Xiao Jingheng observed Concubine Li's expression while speaking.

There was reluctance and a bit of pride on her face, without the slightest trace of guilt or evasion.

Xiao Jingheng thought that his mother probably just gave him a tree, and she probably didn't know how to use it.

"Mother, please don't say such angry words. The Crown Princess is a first-class virtuous person. As long as you are safe and sound, she will definitely respect you." Xiao Jingheng said.

Concubine Li nodded expressionlessly. She didn't know whether the woman was a virtuous person or not, but Ruan Liuzheng said that she was an unparalleled beauty. Perhaps it was because of this that the prince was so captivated by her that he refused to accept anything or anything.
