Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

On the other side, Gu Luoheng was really being harassed by someone.

Seeing the other party approaching step by step, he could only take a step back with a sullen face to instantly create distance, and his tone became much colder.

"Your Highness, men and women should not touch each other. If you have any questions, please let the guards pass on the message. It is against the rules for a man and a woman to be alone together. I hope you can go back soon so that Concubine Ying won't worry."

He thought he had said everything clearly, but who knew that the girl not far away would step closer, looking at him shyly and timidly, her voice was extremely gentle, but there was still some domineering in her tone.

"Master Gu, I heard you're about to take the imperial examination. With your talent, I'm sure you'll win first place. You... you can ask for your father's approval during the palace examination. Between the Mu family and this princess, you should know which one to choose, right?"

Not long after she came of age, she caught a glimpse of the handsome Gu Luoheng at a palace banquet. He happened to be looking in her direction at that time, and she was stunned by the scene for a long time. Even when her mother wanted to arrange a marriage for her, she refused to agree just to wait for him to marry her.

She knew that there was a so-called child marriage between the Gu family and the Mu family, but at that time Mu Qingli was seriously ill and had been away for several years seeking medical treatment. She thought that the man would not come back alive, so she naturally did not take it seriously.

But who would have thought that he not only came back but even had the audacity to declare war on her! What a bullshit about fate and good vision, how could a woman from a merchant family be worthy of him!

Gu Luoheng was not a fool and naturally understood the meaning of her words. A hint of sarcasm appeared in his eyes but quickly disappeared, and then the coldness on his face became even more intense.

"Princess, you're joking. My marriage must be one that I like. Your Majesty and Concubine Ying will take care of your marriage. What business does it have on me? If you have nothing else to do, I'll take my leave!"

"You stop!"

Lu Yao had never expected that even after she had finally mustered up the courage to say this, the other party remained unmoved. She couldn't help but show anger in her eyes, and raised her hand with a dark face, wanting to grab him.

But with Gu Luoheng's skills, how could he be caught by her so easily? He dodged nimbly and looked at her with an increasingly cold expression.

He was a cold person to begin with. He didn't even have a maid around him and rarely spoke to the opposite sex. The coldness released from his body was really chilling, which immediately made Lu Yao pale and step back a few steps. Then she bit her lip and looked at him aggrievedly.

"Master Gu, you must understand that if the power of your two families were to combine, the Emperor would undoubtedly be wary, and in the end, your family might even be implicated. Since there is a better option, why would you refuse it? Could it be that this princess is no better than a maid from a merchant family?"

When Lu Yao said the latter sentence, anger surged between her eyebrows. She was a princess who was respected and had everything she wanted, but she fell in love with a man who did not do what she wanted in any way. She was already furious!

Gu Luoheng wanted to say something harsh directly, but he had to consider her identity, the power behind her, and the possible impact on his family. He then stepped back, his voice becoming even colder.

"Fifth Princess, let me remind you one last time. I will only marry the one I love. If I can't marry him, I will never marry again. No matter how many times you ask me, I will only have this one answer. Farewell!"

He was so annoyed that he simply turned around and was about to leave, but he saw a figure rushing towards him, so he stopped and narrowed his eyes dangerously.

That was the person he specifically asked to protect Ali. Now that he hurried over, something must have happened to Ali. The worry in his heart spread almost instantly, and then his face changed and he quickly walked over to talk to him.

"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to look after Ali?"

The guard who finally found the other person looked unhappy and replied in a hurried voice with a low voice.

"Someone deliberately led me away, and Miss Mu disappeared."

Seeing him leave quickly, Lu Yao felt unwilling to give up, and subconsciously followed him quickly. The autumn wind was blowing, and she just heard the words "Ali" and "Miss Mu", and her face suddenly changed.

He tightened his fingers in his sleeves as hard as he could, staring at the person in front of him with almost gritted teeth, and a hint of resentment finally rose in his eyes.

She was clearly in love with him, and she was so gentle and considerate for him. How could he treat her so coldly?

When Gu Luoheng heard that Mu Qingli might still be in danger, he no longer cared about the damn princess. He quickly followed the guards and followed the trail.

Little did they know that the main hall was also bustling with activity at this moment. Just now, when everyone was chatting and eating after drinking, a figure stumbled in, his face pale and his voice broke the peaceful atmosphere in the hall.

"Oh no, oh no, something happened in Chunhe Palace."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the hall's eyes lit up subconsciously, and suddenly they all had a feeling that it had finally come, and they cast their eyes over there openly or covertly.

Cheng Qin's heart suddenly sank, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes. He subconsciously grabbed his clothes and pursed his lips.

She knows her own daughter best. Before she left the house, Ali must have guessed that today would be a Hongmen Banquet and made preparations in advance. However, as a mother, she always thinks about her daughter and she still can't let go of her worries.

Fang Jiale was right beside her and clearly saw the worry in her eyes. He tilted his head and gently reassured her, "Don't worry, Ali is a child with a plan in mind. Nothing will happen to her."

Before Cheng Qin could reply, she heard the Queen's voice from above, but compared to her gentle tone just now, her voice was much colder this time.

"How dare you! Which palace eunuch are you from? You're yelling like that without any manners! Just explain clearly what happened, there's no need to panic!"

The queen didn't even look at the eunuch. She glanced around at the concubines around her with a calm expression. However, only she knew what she was thinking.

Concubine An was still playing with a string of jade beads in her hand, leaning back in her chair with a faint smile on her lips.

"Yes, which palace are you from? Why are you so unruly? The Queen is asking you a question, why don't you answer it quickly!"

No one else in the hall said anything. They just watched the situation unfold quietly without saying a word, but they couldn't help but secretly glance around at the people around them.

They also wanted to know who this incident was aimed at, or who was it targeting?

The young eunuch's face flushed red and he knelt down quickly, pointing in the direction of Chunhe Hall and stammering, looking like he was at a loss for words.

"Reporting to the Empress, I'm the one delivering flowers to the Imperial Garden. As soon as I arrived at Chunhe Hall, I heard noises inside. I'm afraid... I'm afraid someone is trying to desecrate the palace!"
