Shocked! After rebirth, my princess wants to remarry
Chapter 68: Let’s make some heat-clearing tea for the prince
Gu Qinghe noticed Gu Ruoxing's expression and guessed that she was probably remembering the scene where Han Desheng handed her a letter. Otherwise, her second sister, who would never come to visit her for no reason, would not come to get close to her.
"Second sister, we have discussed this now. If there is nothing else..." Gu Qinghe looked at Gu Ruoxing with a faint smile.
The latter could also tell that Gu Qinghe was trying to get rid of her. The letter had already been put away by Wangchun without taking it seriously. She wouldn't be able to see it any longer, so she simply stood up and said, "No need to see me off, Third Sister. I'll be leaving right away."
"Okay, take care, second sister." Gu Qinghe stood up, walked to the door, and watched Gu Ruoxing walk out.
"Miss, do you want to see the letter you asked me to put away just now?" Wangchun asked suddenly.
Gu Qinghe didn't want to look at first, but when she saw Gu Ruoxing slowing down in front of her, she chuckled silently and said, "Let me send you the east wind again."
"Let me see it." Gu Qinghe said, stretched out his hand and opened the envelope. It said: Tomorrow at the first quarter of the afternoon, we will meet at Wanghu Road in the south of the city. Under the moonlight and the fragrance of lotus, with a cup of tea waiting for me to chat with you, I will be waiting for you.
There is no signature, probably because he is afraid of being seen by someone with ulterior motives. This is also in line with Xiao Jingheng's cautious nature.
Wangchun took the letter from the girl, which still carried the elegant fragrance of agarwood, and asked, "Miss, who invited you to Wangyue Tower?"
"I don't know, I won't go." Gu Qinghe said.
After saying this, Gu Ruoxing's maid Xing'er finally packed her shoes and quickly caught up with Gu Ruoxing.
Gu Ruoxing was waiting by the edge of the garden, clutching the handkerchief tightly against her chest. She looked nervous and expectant, and kept looking to see if Xing'er had returned.
"Miss, I heard Wangchun say that the letter said someone invited the Third Miss to have tea at Wanghu Tower, but the Third Miss said she would not go."
Xing'er finished speaking breathlessly, and there seemed to be stars in her eyes when she looked at Gu Ruoxing.
"It's just right that she's not going. This only means she's not meant to be." Gu Ruoxing sneered twice, "Let's go back and open the box. I want to pick out two clothes to wear tomorrow."
"Girl, what are you doing?"
"Don't meddle in the master's affairs, just follow his orders." Gu Ruoxing touched her sleeve pocket, and her face flushed as she thought about it.
Xing'er looked at the second girl in front of her, then turned back to look at the third girl's courtyard. When the third girl answered Wangchun just now, her tone was calm and there was no condescending feeling.
She sighed deeply, stamped her feet, and caught up with the second girl again.

The one who had the most anxious night was Zhang Wu. He was thinking of taking the prince's purse from the second daughter of the Gu family, but he had no chance. The second daughter took the things with her wherever she went, so he had no chance at all.
After thinking it over again and again, Zhang Wu decided to go back to the East Palace to apologize, otherwise he would be in trouble when dawn came.
When he thought of the prince being angry, he broke out in a cold sweat. You know, the prince's temper is not very good.
So, at the beginning of the Mao hour, Zhang Wu appeared at the gate of the main hall of the East Palace. Han Desheng was taking a nap at the gate. He gently waved in front of Han Desheng's eyes, "Manager Han——"
"Huh?" Han Desheng covered his forehead, sat up, and put his hat on. "Zhang Wu? Why are you here at this time?"
Zhang Wu rubbed his hands in a simple and honest manner, "Hey, Chief Steward Han, I came here early because I really have something to ask of you."
When Han Desheng heard this, he immediately felt a headache, because Zhang Wu had recently been sent by the prince to protect Miss Gu San. Now that he had something to ask for, it must be Miss Gu San's business...
The key point is that even the ever-victorious Crown Prince seems powerless in this young lady's affairs. What help can a eunuch like him offer?
It's really difficult to be a person.
Han Desheng sighed and said weakly: "You tell me first."
"It's like this. Yesterday, I planned to trick Miss Gu San into picking up the Crown Prince's purse herself, but I didn't expect it to be picked up by Miss Gu San's third room. I squatted for half the night and still couldn't get it back."
The sky had not yet fully brightened, but Zhang Wu noticed that Han Zongguan's face had darkened. He could not help but be more cautious and asked, "How do you think we can remedy this?"
Han Desheng simply leaned against the wall and asked, "Where's the letter? Has the third lady read it?"
"I saw her opening the envelope with my own eyes, and I also heard her say it was at Weishi, Wanghu Tower in the south of the city." When Zhang Wu mentioned this, he patted his chest, looking very confident.
After hearing this, Han Desheng calmed down a little. If he couldn't do both things, he might as well just sharpen the knife for chopping necks.
Zhang Wu looked at Han Desheng's face and felt relieved. As long as the prince's favorite person was willing to say a word for him, he should not be sent to raise horses.
"Butler Han, could you please serve some refreshing tea to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today?" Zhang Wu said.
"You'd better pray that the prince has a smooth trip today. Otherwise, even if you soak the prince in a bucket of herbs for cooling down the heat, it will probably be useless." Han Desheng said, shaking his whisk.
Zhang Wu scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Thank you, Manager Han."
"Baoshun, go to the Imperial Household Department now and tell the manager that the prince accidentally lost a purse yesterday. Ask the Clothing Bureau to give him another one." Han Desheng gave the order after a moment's hesitation.
He had to protect the prince's innocence. The second daughter of the Gu family had given him a bad impression the few times they met, so he had to be careful.
"I'll do it right away." Bao Shun received the master's order and trotted out.
Zhang Wu finished speaking his mind. Not wanting to be scolded by the prince in person, he also planned to leave, but was stopped by Han Desheng. "We are here to speak for Guard Zhang, but you have to stay here too."
Zhang Wu hoped that the prince in the palace would sleep a little longer, but Xiao Jingheng was already sleeping restlessly.
He was dreaming again. In the dream, the Holy Mother Empress Dowager, also known as Concubine Li, and Ruan Liuzheng, who was dressed as a girl, were sitting together and talking with smiles on their faces.
"My cousin the emperor wants to leave as soon as he sees me. Aunt, can you help me?" Ruan Liuzheng said.
"You are just greedy. I have already secured the position of Imperial Concubine for you and you are about to return home to wait for your marriage before Gu gives birth. Be careful that the Emperor really only allows you to enter the palace with no status."
Xiao Jingheng was anxious when he heard his mother say the word "to be married". Entering the palace as a concubine, how could it be considered as getting married? In this world, the only person who would marry him was Gu Qinghe.
Ruan Liuzheng's smile faded upon hearing this in the dream. "If Gu's child can't be saved, the Emperor will have to favor someone else for the sake of his offspring. This harem is still the configuration of the Eastern Palace."
"presumptuous--"
