Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

"Third Miss, please stay." Xiao Jingheng's voice sounded behind Gu Qinghe. She stopped, turned around, and found that his jaw was only an arm's length away from her.

At this distance, if I punch him, I can just reach his nose.

Gu Qinghe thought so, then took two steps back and nodded, "Your Highness, what are your instructions?"

When Xiao Jingheng heard her say this, he felt powerless. What could he do? He just wanted to say something to her.

Look at her distant attitude, which is so different from the friendly expression she had when facing the old princess in the room just now.

"I don't have any instructions." Xiao Jingheng explained, "I just want to ask you, are you used to Li Ma Ma going to the Gu family to teach the palace etiquette?"

"Your Highness, what do you think? Even if I enter the palace, I can be a teaching nanny, right?" Gu Qinghe was still angry when facing Xiao Jingheng, and her words were not very polite. They both knew each other's background, so why bother asking this.

"Yes, I am a little confused because of my concern." Xiao Jingheng said good-temperedly, "I still have something to tell you about the imperial edict."

"What? Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince need the Emperor to issue another decree?" Gu Qinghe said with a chuckle, revealing a hint of disdain.

Xiao Jingheng heard Gu Qinghe's smile and twirled his ring. "The marriage was granted together with Prince Jin's decision to take Gu Ruoxing as his concubine. I was confused because Prince Jin wanted to mention you to my father. But before I could open my mouth, my father took out the imperial decree."

At this point, Gu Qinghe still didn't respond, so Xiao Jingheng continued, "I said I was willing to use time to prove myself, but I didn't expect that King Jin would come and kill me halfway. In my previous life, he shot arrows at me, and I can't bear to see you committing yourself to him."

"Okay, I understand. It seems that I have to thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for extending a helping hand." Gu Qinghe said. If Prince Jin and the Crown Prince had not been fighting openly and secretly, how could she be targeted by Prince Jin?

"After all, it was because of me that you almost suffered an unexpected disaster." Xiao Jingheng said.

"The matter is done. There is no point in saying more. Your Highness, if you have nothing else to say, I will go home now." Gu Qinghe looked at Yunhua and Liu Yinshuang who were admiring the view of the bare garden in the cold wind not far away.

"Something's going on." Xiao Jingheng said anxiously, "It's about the letter I gave you before, about what happened before, from Ruan Liuzheng."

Gu Qinghe only then looked up at him with a serious expression, showing interest.

"After my father granted the marriage, I ordered the courtyard to be renovated. While inspecting, I discovered a drug that weakened essence under the pomegranate tree. Upon investigation, a palace servant confessed that the Princess of Jin bribed someone to place it there. The palace servant had committed suicide in the Ministry of Punishment."

Gu Qinghe listened with a frown on her face. It made sense that it would affect her essence. In her previous life in the Eastern Palace, she had two concubines, and neither of them had ever been pregnant.

Before, she had secretly complained that the feng shui of the East Palace was bad, but it turned out that it was really the water and soil that had problems.

"But you said that the palace maids confessed that it was Princess Jin who was behind the scenes, so what does it have to do with Ruan Liuzheng?" Gu Qinghe asked.

"While investigating this matter, we discovered that while Ruan Liuzheng was in Yufu Palace, she bribed a maid named Rendong and became an accomplice to a minor steward in the Eastern Palace. Before leaving the palace this time, she left behind blister beetle powder, intending to find an opportunity to drug the Crown Princess. She also discovered that it could affect male fertility." Xiao Jingheng whispered, "This time, we caught them ahead of time."

After hearing this, Gu Qinghe shuddered. She remembered this honeysuckle. In her previous life, when Ruan Liuzheng came to her, it was usually honeysuckle that followed her.

"The Crown Prince's cousin is quite courageous. She even wants to take action against her own Crown Prince cousin." Gu Qinghe snorted and laughed, "A woman like this is definitely not just weak and harmless."

It seems that Ruan Liuzheng did this because she wanted to wait until the Eastern Palace had no children, and then wait for her to make the antidote for the prince's cousin, enter the Eastern Palace and give birth to a child, so that she could be more powerful than him. It was really a good plan.

If she could still be like in her previous life and not make any trouble at all, Xiao Jingheng would be at ease and rarely ask about it, and her wish might really come true.

"Yes, I didn't know people well enough to leave all the backyard affairs to you, and I blindly indulged my biological mother. I really shouldn't have made you suffer." Xiao Jingheng said, then bowed and said, "I'm sorry."

Gu Qinghe turned sideways to avoid the prince's greeting, but did not say anything.

Ruan Liuzheng disappeared on the day she received the note from Xiao Jingheng. Considering what Nanny Li said about Concubine Li's condition, it can be guessed that this matter is related to the Crown Prince.

It was his simple-minded mother who took action. Gu Qinghe did not expect this. After all, Xiao Jingheng ruled the country with filial piety.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for telling me. I will take my leave now." Gu Qinghe bowed, took a few steps back, turned around and left.

Yingchun was thinking to herself that this time when the prince saw the girl, he didn't call himself "Gu".

Xiao Jingheng looked at Gu Qinghe's departing back and felt a little relieved. Although she still had an expressionless face, knowing the truth was also a kind of excuse.

Only by uncovering the truth of the past life can we have the possibility to walk hand in hand without barriers in this life.

He doesn't want to be so at odds with her anymore.

Liu Yinshuang finally saw Gu Qinghe coming over here and said to Princess Yunhua, who was concentrating on roasting oranges and brewing tea, "He's here. His expression is pretty good."

"Of course, the Empress Dowager said that although she has only met Qinghe a few times, she can see that she is a woman who can handle big occasions and her emotions are very stable in front of others." Yunhua said, turning over the orange.

Liu Yinshuang hummed softly and nodded, "Old people are always quite accurate in judging people."

"I'm afraid she'll be sad behind people's backs. The last time I went to Gu's house, I saw that the wooden figures in her yard were all chopped and scarred." Yun Hua sighed and said, "Sometimes, I worry about my cousin. Although I'm more on Gu Qinghe's side, I'm also worried about the foundation of the country for the sake of the people."

Liu Yinshuang snorted and laughed, "If the Crown Prince really got beaten by her, it was a matter of willingness. The Crown Prince has practiced martial arts since childhood, how could he not be able to control a weak, uh, woman?"

"What you said seems to make some sense. I was just worrying too much." As soon as Yun Hua finished speaking, Gu Qinghe had already walked closer.

"Have a cup of tea to warm yourself up. Men are impatient. They can talk while drinking tea." As Liu Yinshuang said this, Yunhua poured a cup of tea and pushed it in front of Gu Qinghe.

"Thank you." Gu Qinghe picked up the teacup and drank half of it, then he felt a lot warmer in his heart.

"Qinghe, how is it? Even in the cold wind, you can find a way to make yourself comfortable." Liu Yinshuang smiled and blinked at Gu Qinghe, who also smiled faintly and nodded.
