Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry

Wang, from the third branch of the Gu family, did not suffer much at the hands of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, but she could talk about the humiliation in her heart for days and nights.

"Whose orders are you following, the Crown Princess?" Wang's hairpins were loose and her face was pale.

"Don't worry about these, just eat quickly." Chen Yuan tilted his head. A guard handed him a food box with two side dishes in it, which was much cleaner than those of others.

"I won't eat. Don't you know that my daughter is the concubine of the Prince of Jin, and my niece is the Crown Princess?" Wang screamed at the top of her lungs. "I'm not slandering the royal family. I'm the Crown Princess's elder. As her aunt, can't I say a word or two to my niece?"

Chen Yuan snorted, what a hassle. He said that the work assigned to him by the prince must be very annoying.

This woman has been here for several days, crying out for justice and asking who is behind her.

What's the point? It was the Crown Prince who ordered the arrest, and it was Master Gu who gave the excuse.

"Save your energy." Chen Yuan said in a calm tone, "The relationship between monarch and subject comes first, and then between father and son. Even Lord Gu An would bow and greet the Crown Princess when he sees her. You're just an aunt, why are you putting on airs?"

Upon hearing this, Wang suddenly stood up and rushed to the prison door, saying viciously, "Who do you think you are? You were about to get your wife, but someone snatched her away halfway. What kind of man are you?"

Chen Yuan snorted coldly, "Do you really think that others will remember your status and not treat you harshly?"

Wang snorted and said nothing. She thought she had not done anything against the law. Besides, the third lady of the Gu family, the Crown Princess's divine eye, was tortured to death by her order. That was something that was neither easy to talk about nor pleasant to hear.

"Wang, your status is a vassal given by others, and now others don't want you to benefit from it anymore." Chen Yuan said coldly, "The Jinyiwei will not treat you harshly, but the conditions here are not as good as the pampered life you have at home. It's normal for you to get sick. Just wait and see."

After saying that, Chen Yuan took his men away, leaving Wang sitting on the ground. She waited until her tears dried up before she picked up her bowl.

As the days passed, Gu Ruoxing had a very difficult time in Prince Jin's Mansion recently, because Prince Jin brought her to the Mid-Autumn Festival palace banquet in order to make her say a few words to disgust the Crown Princess.

However, she was afraid and retreated. When she returned to the mansion, the Princess of Jin, who had been quite kind before, now treated her coldly.

"Xing'er, have you found out what the prince is busy with recently?" Gu Ruoxing asked. She rarely heard that the prince came to the backyard recently.

I don't know what he's busy doing.

Xing'er replied, "Concubine, I only heard that the prince has been busy in the front yard recently. However, when I went to the main kitchen yesterday to ask for some snacks, the steward said that the prince has been entertaining guests almost every day recently."

Gu Ruoxing frowned deeply when she heard this. She had originally thought that the prince would be depressed for a while because of what the emperor said at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.

As a result, he actually started to entertain guests frequently?

What are you doing? Are you plotting something bad?

People with simple minds can sometimes easily guess right, and Gu Ruoxing guessed correctly this time.

As night fell, Gu Ruoxing became more and more distracted and tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

If the Prince of Jin succeeds in forcing the emperor to abdicate, then as a concubine, I can probably become a royal concubine.

What if he failed? Everyone in the palace would be beheaded.

How can this be good?

Should I just stay in Qingfeng Pavilion and leave everything to fate? Gu Ruoxing thought that she had never really fought for herself. Perhaps this was her last chance.

"Concubine, you can't sleep. Is it because the third lady is imprisoned?" Xing'er asked in a low voice while keeping watch downstairs.

Gu Ruoxing only then remembered that her mother had been captured by the Embroidered Uniform Guards. During this period of time, she had been so preoccupied with her own affairs that she had completely forgotten about her mother.

Gu Ruoxing didn't say anything, and Xing'er didn't ask any further questions. Perhaps the concubine didn't care much about the third wife.

I was thinking before about how to use the Third Lady for her benefit.

Gu Ruoxing hadn't slept all night. After breakfast in the morning, when she was about to take a nap, the princess sent someone over and said that she wanted to take Concubine Gu to pay her respects to the Empress Dowager.

"This is really strange. The Empress Dowager has always disliked interacting with people other than the Queen. Why did she bring me along this time?" Gu Ruoxing said puzzledly.

"Concubine, please pack up quickly. I will go back and report." The maid did not answer Concubine Gu's question. After saying what she wanted to say, she turned around and walked out.

Gu Ruoxing was not given any chance to refuse.

Gu Qinghe was in Yongshou Palace, chatting with the Empress Dowager. Since the Double Ninth Festival was approaching, she came to ask if they wanted to hold a banquet.

There are many banquets in this palace.

"Don't bother. I take good care of you youngsters. That's better than anything else." The Queen Mother patted the Crown Princess's hand affectionately.

"Recently, the prince has taken you out twice?" the Queen Mother asked with a smile.

Gu Qinghe nodded, "Yes, let's go out and relax, burn some incense, and pray for the Empress Dowager and the Emperor."

The Empress Dowager laughed even more heartily, and said to Nanny Lin beside her, "Listen, the Crown Prince really went out of his way to find me such a wonderful grandson's wife."

Nanny Lin nodded and smiled, "Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess are traveling together, and they are always thinking about you. I wonder how much the old princess envies your good fortune."

The Queen Mother laughed out loud, and the eunuch outside came in and announced, "The Princess of Jin has arrived."

"Let her in." The Queen Mother raised her hand, and Gu Qinghe also sat on the deputy seat beside the Queen Mother, waiting for Princess Jin to enter the hall.

Gu Ruoxing followed behind Princess Jin, but was left outside the door because the Queen Mother had just instructed that Princess Jin be allowed to come in.

Princess Jin turned her head and pressed her hand, "The Empress Dowager and the Crown Princess don't know. Please wait a moment, I will send someone to inform you later."

"Yes." Gu Ruoxing responded and waited obediently at the door.

Princess Jin entered the palace and saluted politely, "Greetings to the Empress Dowager, and to the Crown Princess."

After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Princess Jin sat down to her left. She glanced at the Crown Princess and said, "Crown Princess, I also brought Concubine Gu with me. She's been feeling down lately, and since you're related to her, I thought I'd bring her here to see if you can comfort her."

Gu Qinghe smiled faintly. After listening to what Princess Jin said, she felt that Princess Jin's recent actions seemed to have lost their sense of propriety and she had lost all sense of proportion.

Doesn't she know that what the Empress Dowager hates most are these concubines who love to stir up trouble?

However, since the person is already here, he should naturally be invited in.

Even if Gu Ruoxing saw her and heard her voice, she might become even more depressed.
