Soft and crispy waist

Xia Zheng reached out and pushed Gu Yizi away, then turned her head away and said, "Speak softly, my lord. If someone hears, it will be exposed."

"Everyone has been driven away. Frost and Snow are guarding the door, and the secret guards are guarding the yard. Not even a fly with ears can fly in. There's no need to speak softly." Gu Yizi leaned closer again, his eyes fixed on her, and asked in a low voice, "Now, can you answer?"

There is no way around this issue.

Xia Zheng pursed her lips, lowered her head and said softly, "Whoever the prince takes a fancy to will be blessed. I have been through the same thing myself, so there is nothing to be angry about."

Gu Yizi reached out and pinched Xia Zheng's chin, turning her head up so she could look at him, "Xia Zheng, do you really like me?"

Are you happy?

Xia Zheng didn't know.

She shouldn't have fallen in love with Gu Yizi, and she couldn't.

He is her boss, the ladder for her to climb up, and the support she needs to hold on to. She doesn't like him for all these things, otherwise she would be digging her own grave.

"I've read the storybook you're reading. It says that if you like something, you should selfishly possess it and not share it with anyone. To be honest, Xia Zheng, are you really not angry?" Gu Yizi asked again, his eyes fixed on Xia Zheng, not missing any change in her expression.

This time, he wanted an answer.

real?

Or fake?

If she were to follow Gu Yizi, her boss, her stepping stone, her backer, she would naturally be angry and full of jealousy, wishing she could send Xue Rui out immediately and tie him to her side and not let him leave.

But he wanted her to tell the truth.

"I'm not angry." Xia Zheng's words were powerful.

It fell to the ground and everything was silent.

The two people's eyes met, and it seemed as if many things were flowing between them.

"Because I knew from the moment I heard it that it was Gu Lang's plan, so I wasn't angry at all."

"What if you don't know?" Gu Yizi asked unwillingly.

"I don't know?" Xia Zheng rolled her eyes. "Maybe there will be...some."

Obviously, this promise did not satisfy Gu Yizi. He pinched Xia Zheng's chin and kissed her fiercely, making her lip balm all stained. Then he pulled away and said harshly, "You never tell a word of truth!"

Xia Zheng put on her lip balm and didn't answer him.

But what she said was the truth.

Yes, there are some.

When she heard Shuangjiang say that Gu Yizi was staying at Xue Rui's place, her mind was confused and her heart felt sour at that moment.

But soon, she fell into a coma.

Although she was dazed for a while after waking up, she quickly realized that it was Gu Yizi's plan. Moreover, she remembered that there was a familiar scent around her every night. Gu Yizi never stayed at Xue Rui's place, so there was no question of whether she was angry or not.

But the feeling disappeared too quickly, and she couldn't tell it clearly.

But she knew that the feeling was directed at Gu Yizi, not the prince of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion.

"Forget it." Gu Yizi seemed to have given up, loosened his grip on her hand, and put his arm around her waist again, resting his chin on her neck. He said, "Xue Rui is good at using drugs. She always drugs her substitute in the dark, making them think they've done it while they're asleep. I'll be back in two days, so be careful."

Xia Zheng nodded, but her hand still nervously clenched Gu Yizi's hand.

Gu Yizi completely covered her hand with his backhand and said in a low but serious voice, "Wait for me."

……

After Gu Yizi stayed at Xue Rui's house for seven consecutive days, he finally had to leave the house and go to the front line under the pressure of the battle reports from the front line coming one after another.

Before leaving, he asked Xue Rui to send him out of the mansion, and he never looked at Xia Zheng again from beginning to end.

Xia Zheng's fall from favor was a foregone conclusion.

But even though Xue Rui was favored, now that Gu Yizi was gone, it was no longer that important whether she was favored or not, and the mansion continued to operate as usual.

Tao Yurong was confined in Fanghua Courtyard, and all affairs in the mansion were managed by Wei Qingqing, and Xia Zheng was in charge of the internal affairs office. Everything was peaceful and smooth.

Three more months passed like this.

When Ruanruan turned one year old, a banquet was held at home, but no one came to the banquet.

Just because of one thing.

The situation is turbulent.

The old emperor fell seriously ill and had been lying in the Yangxin Palace for half a month without attending court.

On the front line, Gu Yizi added more troops, and even used the military token given by the old emperor, which was originally used to dispatch troops stationed in the two states when necessary, when the old emperor fell ill, taking advantage of the chaos.

Afterwards, he and his wife, the Duke of Zhenguo, led troops from Longxi to provide assistance.

All in all, Gu Yizi now has an army of 150,000 under his command.

The rumor that Gu Yizi couldn't wait to rebel soon became rampant.

Some people say that the rumor is true. Otherwise, even if the Kingdom of Yue was difficult to defeat, it would not require an army of 150,000. Moreover, after fighting for several months, they only drove the Kingdom of Yue out of the border and did not advance any further. It was obviously a delay.

Some people also held opposing views, thinking that Gu Yizi's family, young and old, were still in the capital, and his mother was staying with the empress dowager. It was impossible for Gu Yizi to abandon the whole family.

The same thing happened in the court, with both sides in a stalemate.

Therefore, no one dared to come to the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion at this time.

But the Duke's Mansion was not affected, and they held the banquet at home if no one else came.

Wei Qingqing, Lin Rongrong, Xia Zheng, and Chunzhi are at one table; Xue Rui, Qiao Shenyuan and others are at another table; the rest of the servants in the mansion can all sit at the table for dinner today.

Although their table was separated from the table of ordinary servants by a courtyard wall, it was still a lively scene.

Ruanruan received many gifts, but the little red tassel spear given by Wei Qingqing was her favorite. She played with it in the yard for a long time and was reluctant to put it down.

"Okay, okay, you're getting tired. Take a break before playing again." Xia Zheng was afraid that she would get tired again after just recovering, so she quickly hugged her in her arms and told her not to play anymore.

"You are just like your mother, short-sighted. You are so happy about such a thing. But you have good taste and are not blinded by those yellow and white things. When you grow up, I will give you the gun that my father has secretly stored." Although she was scolding, Wei Qingqing's eyes were full of love. She almost wanted to snatch Ruanruan away to teach her another dance.

"What's the point of a little girl brandishing swords and guns?" Someone's voice came from the table below when Wei Qingqing had just finished speaking. There was no other sound to cover it up, so everyone could hear it clearly.

Wei Qingqing's face darkened instantly. "What? Girls can't wield swords and guns? Speak louder? I didn't hear you clearly!"

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Even though Wei Qingqing was not favored, she was the only daughter of General Wei and was a daring person, so no one dared to confront her.

"You dare not admit it, but that's all."

Wei Qingqing scoffed, and Qiao Shenyuan said with an unhappy face, "This person is afraid to speak out of respect for the concubine, but what she said is not wrong. The young lady is the eldest daughter of the Crown Prince. If the Crown Prince becomes a big shot in the future, her status will be even more different. Brandishing swords and guns is not in line with her and will be criticized. It will affect the Crown Prince, which is not good."

"Can you tell fortunes?" Wei Qingqing asked.
