She also said that she wanted this girl to be Jun'er's principal wife. It seems that she has a close relationship with the bitch Gu.

She couldn't find another woman who had a close relationship with Gu Bitch for Jun'er to marry into.

It seems that I have no choice but to choose someone else.

Chang Xinshan seemed to feel Queen Shen's gaze, a strange feeling flashed through her heart, and she hid behind Long Yuxi.

Originally, Queen Shen had planned to choose both the principal wife and the concubine today. At that time, the principal wife had been chosen, so the only one left was the concubine. But now that the candidate for the principal wife had been rejected by herself, she didn't want to choose the concubine anymore.

So he said, "There are many different opinions on this matter, so we can only postpone it for now and wait for me to investigate it thoroughly before taking any action.

Everyone can go and enjoy the scenery of the Imperial Garden."

After Queen Shen finished speaking, she turned and left.

After Queen Shen left, Long Jun snorted coldly and left.

Bai Qimeng also left with Dong Jinyu and others.

She didn't suffer any loss today. Although she used her internal force to leave five finger marks on her face, it only looked powerful. She could use her internal force to dissolve them and they disappeared.

So Gu Lingyue didn't bother to bother with it any more.

At this moment, she walked up to Princess Xuan and whispered, "Aren't you afraid that the Queen will resent you for doing this, Sister-in-law?"

Princess Xuan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm telling the truth. Even if the Queen wants to hold a grudge against me, there's nothing I can do."

Gu Lingyue smiled at her and said seriously, "Thank you for what happened today, Third Sister-in-law. I owe you a favor. In the future, as long as there is something within my ability, I will do my best."

Princess Xuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Then Third Sister-in-law would like to thank Fourth Sister-in-law first."

Gu Lingyue smiled and said nothing.

At this time, Long Yuxi and Chang Xinshan ran over, looked at Gu Lingyue's face and said worriedly: "Fourth sister-in-law, how is your face? Do you want to find an imperial physician?"

Gu Lingyue shook her head, "It's okay, don't worry."

She couldn't say that she had put the handprint there herself, so she could only comfort them.

However, the smile of Princess Xuan next to her was meaningful.

Chang Xinshan blamed herself and said, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have left. Then my fourth sister-in-law wouldn't have been beaten."

When saying this, Chang Xinshan gritted his teeth.

"That little bitch Dong Jinyu is so bad. Just wait, Fourth Sister-in-law, I'll avenge you in a moment."

"Yes, we can't let her get away with it." Long Yuxi agreed.

Usually, she and Chang Xinshan are more cautious, but today even she couldn't help but curse.

Gu Lingyue looked at the two indignant girls, smiled faintly, patted their shoulders and said, "Alright, if there's anything, we can talk later. It's not convenient to act in the palace."

It wasn't that she was afraid of anyone, she just didn't want anything to happen to them.

It was unknown when the banquet ended, and at this time Princess Yi and Princess Ping also returned to the Imperial Garden.

They also knew what had just happened, so they came over to comfort Gu Lingyue, and Chang Xinshan pulled Long Yuxi away.

After about an incense stick of time, a palace maid came hurriedly, "Princess Jing, please go and take a look. The Princess of Le'an County and Miss Dong are fighting."

Gu Lingyue was stunned. Could it be that Xinshan and Yuxi really went to find Dong Jinyu?

I clearly told them that I would talk to them later.

Seeing Gu Lingyue sitting still, the maid hurriedly urged, "Princess Jing, let's go quickly. If we're late, I'm afraid it will get out of hand."

Gu Lingyue guessed that this might be a trap set by Queen Shen for her, but even if she knew, she couldn't care less at this moment.

She stood up, said hello to Princess Xuan and the others, then left with the palace maids. Yun Jin quickly followed.

Not long after walking, Gu Lingyue suddenly saw a man carrying a woman passing by.

Gu Lingyue recognized the woman's clothes; they were the same clothes that Long Yuxi was wearing.

She chased after him without a second thought, leaving only one sentence, "Yunjin, go find Xinshan."

"princess……"

When Yun Jin wanted to say something, Gu Lingyue was no longer there.

Gu Lingyue chased the figure to a remote place. Seeing the man enter one of the rooms, she followed him.

This place is particularly desolate. It should be the cold palace in the imperial palace. Gu Lingyue sensed the presence of many auras in the dark.

When she walked to the door and hesitated whether to go in, a voice came from the room, "Princess Jing, why don't you come in? Are you afraid?" After that, the voice giggled.

Gu Lingyue recognized the voice as Bai Qimeng's.

She walked forward and pushed open the door, and saw Bai Qimeng sitting on a broken chair, looking at her provocatively. Behind her stood a man, holding the same clothes that Long Yuxi wore when she entered the palace.

Gu Lingyue recognized the man as Long Xian's personal bodyguard Qing Bai. He was staring at Gu Lingyue with a vicious look on his face.

He knew that Gu Lingyue had a set of extremely powerful hidden weapons, but he didn't know whether Gu Lingyue had them with her, so he didn't dare to move forward.

Gu Lingyue frowned slightly and said indifferently, "Where is Yuxi?"

In fact, she was just a person who was blinded by love. If she hadn't gone to find Long Shang at that time, she would not have entered the palace. To put it bluntly, she was also a pitiful person.

But there must be something hateful about pitiful people.

She is not a bloodthirsty person, but she is not a soft-hearted person either. As long as she does not cross her bottom line, she will not take her life.

"Do you want to know?" Bai Qimeng raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Beg me!"

Gu Lingyue said coldly: "If Yuxi loses even a hair, I will make you regret coming into this world."

When he turned around and prepared to leave, Bai Qimeng laughed out loud, "You're threatening me? Do you believe that she will die as soon as you leave here?"

Gu Lingyue suddenly turned around, her eyes icy cold, "How dare you!"

"Let me see if I dare." Bai Qimeng said with a determined look.

Ever since Bai Qimeng followed Queen Shen to the Imperial Garden, Gu Lingyue guessed that Bai Qimeng had defected to Queen Shen. Now that she saw Qingbai beside her, she was 100% sure.

Queen Shen hated her to the core, and Gu Lingyue was not sure that she would not really use Long Yuxi to threaten her.

And I don't dare to gamble.

She now hopes that Yunjin can find Chang Xinshan and Long Yuxi.

"What do you want to do?" Gu Lingyue asked with narrowed eyes.

Bai Qimeng's lips curled up, revealing a vicious smile. "What do I want to do? I want you to die! I want him to regret it, I want him to suffer, I want him to be in agony."

Bai Qimeng's face was filled with madness. "Doesn't he like you? If you die, he will live in pain forever. I want him to live in torture for the rest of his life."

Then she yelled, "Kill her! Kill her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, more than twenty Royal Guards rushed out from the darkness and pounced on Gu Lingyue.

Gu Lingyue didn't waste any words. He took out a silenced gun from the space and shot while dodging. Two people's legs were injured. They fell to the ground with a groan and kept screaming.

"Quick, rush up and take her down."

Qingbai saw that Gu Lingyue had taken out the hidden weapon she had used against them last time, and he shouted as he rushed towards Gu Lingyue.

In the past, they had only suffered losses at long distances, so he thought that in close combat, Gu Lingyue's hidden weapons might not be effective.

There was no way Gu Lingyue could let them get close to her. Her legs were like they were riding on Hot Wheels. The guards couldn't catch up with her at all, and she knocked down several of them in the blink of an eye.

When Qingbai was about to approach Gu Lingyue, she shot him in the knee.

"Hmm." Qingbai cried out in pain and fell to his knees.

The reason why Gu Lingyue didn't take their lives was because he thought that what was happening here would be known to Emperor Tianqi sooner or later, so he kept their lives so that he could give an explanation to Emperor Tianqi.

Bai Qimeng didn't expect Gu Lingyue to be so powerful. She looked at the yard outside in shock.

"How could this happen? How could this bitch have such powerful martial arts?"

Just as Gu Lingyue was dealing with other people, a figure jumped into the yard from outside and picked up Qingbai.

Gu Lingyue saw that the person who came was Qingshan, the guard beside Long Jun.

She quickly shot at Qingshan.

Because a guard rushed towards her, the direction of her gun shot deviated a little when she dodged, and the bullet hit the tree directly. By the time she knocked down the last guard, Qingshan and Qingbai were no longer visible.

She knew that if she couldn't catch them both, she wouldn't be able to identify the Queen and Long Jun as the culprits, unless Bai Qimeng and the guards turned against her.

Perhaps he could let these guards assassinate him openly. Gu Lingyue guessed that these guards would not confess easily. As for Bai Qimeng, she glanced at the royal guards lying on the ground, then turned around and looked at Bai Qimeng with cold eyes.

Bai Qimeng took a step back in fear. "You..." She said in a trembling voice, "Don't mess around. I'm the emperor's concubine." Gu Lingyue's cold face showed a bloodthirsty smile. She walked over and grabbed her neck. "Tell me where Yuxi is?"

Bai Qimeng's face flushed red, and she shook her head desperately, "Let...let me go, cough..."

"Speak!" Gu Lingyue increased her strength, pinching Bai Qimeng's throat and making it hurt even more.

Bai Qimeng reached one hand into the sleeve of the other hand and took something out.

At this time, footsteps came from outside.

Gu Lingyue frowned, and the hand that was pinching Bai Qimeng's neck loosened a little.

Bai Qimeng's eyes turned red and her face was full of unwillingness, which finally turned into determination.

"Go to hell! Bitch!" Bai Qimeng shouted and stabbed Gu Lingyue with the dagger hidden in her sleeve.

Gu Lingyue subconsciously grabbed her hand, but Bai Qimeng moved forward.

"Pfft!"

Although there was a sound of the dagger piercing the flesh, Gu Lingyue did not feel any pain.

She quickly looked down and saw Bai Qimeng holding the handle of the dagger and pointing it at her. The dagger had already pierced into Bai Qimeng's body.

"you……"

Gu Lingyue looked up and saw a trace of blood flowing from the corner of Bai Qimeng's mouth, but there was a smile of success in her eyes.

"Since...since I can't...can't kill you, then...let...someone else kill you."

"madman."

Gu Lingyue let go of her hand indifferently, and her hand was already stained with blood.

Bai Qimeng's face was distorted by the pain.

At the same time, Emperor Tianqi and Empress Shen walked in with a group of people.

When she saw the situation in the room, Empress Shen exclaimed, "Princess Jing, how dare you..."

Emperor Tianqi's face was gloomy.

Yun Jin quickly walked out from behind Emperor Tianqi and came to Gu Lingyue, saying with a worried look on her face, "Princess, are you okay?"

As he spoke, he looked up and down at Gu Lingyue.

"It's okay." Gu Lingyue responded calmly.

Bai Qimeng's personal maid saw her lying in a pool of blood and ran towards her anxiously, "My Lady, what's wrong with you? Please don't scare me."

At this time, Bai Qimeng was already a little unconscious.

"Your Majesty..." Bai Qimeng spoke weakly, her eyes staring at Gu Lingyue with hatred, "You...you must...avenge me..." After saying that, she fainted.

Emperor Tianqi glanced at her and said to Gao Ming behind him, "Call the imperial physician."

"Yes."

After Gao Ming left, Emperor Tianqi glanced at the guards lying on the ground outside, then looked at Gu Lingyue, who looked calm, and said, "Princess Jing, please tell me, what exactly is going on?"

"Your Majesty, is there any need to ask this? It's obvious that Princess Jing wanted to kill Concubine Bai. The imperial guards came to stop her, but they were all injured by her." Queen Shen spoke first. She was so excited that she wished Emperor Tianqi would kill Gu Lingyue right now.

She didn't expect that Concubine Bai would risk her own life to frame this bitch. Now she wants to see how she can argue.

As for those people outside, Queen Shen snorted in her heart. Unless they didn't want to kill their own family members, they would never betray her.

As long as Qingbai is not here, even if she is suspected, the emperor can't do anything to her.

What's more, he wasn't the only one in the palace who wanted this bitch dead.

After hearing what Empress Shen said, Gu Lingyue raised the corner of her lips sarcastically, "Your Majesty, you are so anxious to clear Concubine Bai's name. Are you guilty of something?"

Empress Shen was so angry that she almost jumped up when she heard this. "Bitch, stop slandering me. What did I have to do with this? On the contrary, when everyone came in, they only saw you and Concubine Bai in the room. Could it be that Concubine Bai wanted to kill herself?"

"It's impossible. She committed suicide in the first place."

After Gu Lingyue finished speaking, she ignored her and looked at Emperor Tianqi. She recounted what had happened and then knelt down. "Your Majesty, please help me. Qingbai has wounds left by my hidden weapon. As long as we find him, we can clear my name. As for those imperial guards outside, although I don't think they will necessarily tell the truth, we can still take action against them."

Emperor Tianqi's face turned pale, and he looked at the imperial guards stumbling around outside with a thoughtful expression. Seeing this, Empress Shen said with a look of deep sorrow: "Your Majesty, please don't listen to her nonsense.

I haven't seen Qingbai since Xian'er left, but now she says that Qingbai led her here and followed Baipin's orders to kill her. This is simply nonsense.

She must have listened to Miss Dong and was jealous of Concubine Bai, so she kidnapped Concubine Bai and brought her to the cold palace to kill her. Now that her conspiracy has been discovered, she deliberately put the blame on Xian'er..."

Empress Shen started to cry as she spoke, "My poor son, even if he goes, he will be framed."

Emperor Tianqi glared at her unkindly and said angrily, "Queen, please be mindful of your words and actions. Princess Jing only said that Qingbai led him here. Why did you involve Xian'er?"

In any case, his eldest son was gone, and even the queen would not allow him to bring up his dead son.

Besides, he also believed what Princess Jing said.
