The crowd burst into laughter.

"Miss Yan Er is right!"

"Yesterday, I saw Yan Er gambling with Gongsun Niang at the Fugui Casino. He won the entire casino, so how could he have the time to frame Master Lu?"

"Is there such a thing?"

"Could it be that Prince Lu was discovered visiting Qingfeng Tower and deliberately discredited the front room to cover up the scandal?"

"I really can't believe Lu Qiaonan is this kind of person..."

"Tsk, she got cheated on on her wedding night, and then she even threw dirty water on me. How pitiful is Miss Yan Er!"

"..."

Seeing that public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of Yan Qing, Marquis Wu'an glared at Lu Qiaonan and Yan Tan and shouted, "Isn't this embarrassing enough? Go back to your mansion!"

He then hurried away with the two of them.

Even after getting on the carriage, Lu Qiaonan still looked confused and dazed.

Qingqing has changed.

She had always spoken softly and graciously to him before, and she never spoke to him like that just now.

She loved him so much, he thought that after the divorce, Qingqing would cry every day and look haggard and thin, but just now she was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with bright eyes and white teeth, and was even more beautiful than before.

She also denied that she had turned her love for him into hatred...

how can that be possible?

In the past, Qingqing loved Wenhuan very much and respected her mother very much. Why did she suddenly become so rude to them if not because of him?

Qingqing must be pretending to be strong.

"vomit--"

Just as Lu Qiaonan was comforting himself, an untimely sound of vomiting brought him back to reality.

"Brother Qiao, I, I really can't help it... Ugh!"

Yan Tan didn't even dare to look at Lu Qiaonan. The smell on him was too strong. And the Marquis asked them to ride in the same carriage together. It was really... unbearable.

Lu Qiaonan lowered his eyes and looked.

Yan Tan's hair was disheveled, his body soaked, and he held onto the car wall while vomiting, covering his nose.

She has a slender figure, a slim waist and a plump hip. She always looks so charming that any man would be attracted to her.

But now I just feel bored.

He said coldly, "If you felt disgusted, why did you go to so much trouble to seduce me in the first place?"

Yan Tan suddenly felt aggrieved: "Brother Qiao..."

Lu Qiaonan turned his head and looked out the window.

The Yan and Lu families had arranged a marriage for each other. He and Qingqing had been childhood sweethearts, so he often went to the Yan residence. He didn't know when it started, but every time he went to visit Qingqing, he would always meet Yan Tan.

He would either see her chasing butterflies in the garden or flying a kite in the yard, and sometimes he would accidentally bump into her.

At first, Lu Qiaonan didn't care.

Later, when he saw Yan Tan's clothes becoming increasingly thin, he suddenly realized something...

But he only had Qingqing in his heart, how could he possibly betray Qingqing? He kept avoiding Yan Tan every time he went to Yan's house.

But he didn't expect that during the three years when he followed the King of Qi to war, Yan Tan actually wrote to him every day.

More than a thousand days, without interruption.

At first, Lu Qiaonan didn't watch it.

But the war was boring and tense, and Qingqing only wrote to him once a month, and sometimes it took two or three months for him to receive it. And in those boring and lonely days, it was Yan Tan's letters that kept him company...

There is nothing special about Yan Tan's letters. Most of them are about trivial matters in a woman's boudoir, and the sincere care that never changes at the end of the letter. It is quite interesting to read them carefully.

He thought she must love him terribly.

So on the wedding day, Yan Tan said she wanted to see him, and he went.

But Lu Qiaonan didn't expect Yan Tan to drug him...

He never expected that Qingqing would resolutely want to divorce him after finding out. Thinking of this, Lu Qiaonan felt a little depressed again.

He just made a small mistake, and Qingqing wanted to divorce him. Could it be that his feelings for her over the years were not worth this one stupid thing?

Yan Qing watched the carriage from the Wu'an Marquis' Mansion leave with a sneer.

I'm afraid Lu Qiaonan doesn't know that his position as the commander-in-chief of the imperial guards is about to be lost. Does he think he just made a mistake that every man would make?

No, he is the same as Yan Junyuan.

No self-awareness at all!

If her mother hadn't lost a bet, how could she have sold her to the Marquis' Mansion while she was still in the womb?

Although the Marquis' Mansion is a family of meritorious officials, it has long been in decline, while the General's Mansion is at its peak. No matter how powerful Lu Qiaonan is, he is not worthy of the General's Mansion!

But he still wants to enjoy the best of both worlds, with two sisters sharing one husband?

Dreaming!

Speaking of dreams, Yan Qing couldn't help but think of his own dream last night.

Especially what she heard in her dream about Gongsun Zhi and the Princess and her husband, Yan Qing frowned slightly, turned around and continued to walk towards the Changle Casino.

She wanted to know whether the things in her dream were related to reality, but she knew too little about Gongsun Zhi. However, Changle and Anbao must have known Gongsun Zhi very well.

after all--

The person who knows himself best is always his enemy.

For example, Yan Tan and Lu Qiaonan to her...

Besides, behind Changle is the Prince of Qi, and behind Anbao is the Prince of Li. Both gambling houses are related to the royal family, so maybe we can get some unexpected news...

After Lu Qiaonan left, the crowd that had gathered in front of Qingfeng Tower to watch the excitement gradually dispersed. By the time Yan Qing left, there was no one left.

After all, who would stop in front of Qingfeng Tower if they were a serious person?

Just when everyone had left, two figures slowly walked out of Qingfeng Tower.

Prince Jing Ying Si, holding a jade fan, looked at Yan Qing's departing figure and said to the man beside him, "Ziyuan, is this the cousin you were talking about?"

Ziyuan is Gu Huaizhou's pen name.

Gu Huaizhou also watched Yan Qingyuan's back until the woman disappeared into the Changle Casino. He then slowly withdrew his gaze and smiled gently, "That's right."

"Tsk~"

Prince Jing shook his head. "Lu Qiaonan is currently the most sought-after figure in the capital, but Yan Er divorced him for a concubine's daughter. This is not a wise choice..."

"Not anymore."

Gu Huaizhou looked indifferent.

Prince Jing looked at him in surprise, then burst out laughing. "It seems Ziyuan has also heard about General Hu Biao of the Jinwu Guard entering the palace. Hu Biao was once a subordinate of General Ye, so it's understandable that he's targeting Lu Qiaonan this time. But unfortunately, my second brother is here. Even if Lu Qiaonan loses his position as the commander of the imperial guards, he still has the position of deputy commander..."

"So it's time for His Royal Highness Prince Jing to take action."

"?"

King Jing thought he had misheard: "What?"

Gu Huaizhou said calmly, "Please ask His Royal Highness Prince Jing to come to the palace to meet Noble Concubine Xie and tell her that you want to gain experience in the Imperial Guards. I'm sure Noble Concubine Xie will be happy to secure you the position of Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards..."

"Stop! Stop it!"

Prince Jing was completely bewildered and angrily asked, "Gu Huaizhou, why should I go to the Imperial Guards for training? Don't you know that I hate fighting and killing? And if I squeeze out Lu Qiaonan's position, wouldn't that offend my second brother? I won't do it!"

"Liu Boqi's Spring River Moonlit Night."

"what?"

Prince Jing was instantly excited: "Do you have Liu Boqi's painting of Spring River Moon Night? Show it to me!"

"I do not have."

Just as Prince Jing showed a disappointed look, Gu Huaizhou said slowly: "But I know who has it."

"Who? Tell me who it is! No matter what the cost, I must get it!"

Prince Jing loved poetry, calligraphy and painting the most. Among them, he was particularly obsessed with the paintings of the painting saint Liu Boqi.

Unfortunately, there are very few paintings by Liu Boqi left in the world. When he heard Gu Huaizhou mention "Spring River Moon Night", he wanted to grab the painting immediately!

However, Gu Huaizhou did not speak again.

He seemed to be believing that silence is golden.

Prince Jing gritted his teeth and said bitterly, "Fine! Isn't he just the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Imperial Guards? I'll go get him!"
