The newlyweds were replaced with new wives, and the medical concubine entered the palace and killed

"Shouldn't I extort money from the Empress?" Gu Lingyue hesitated and asked tentatively.

If the emperor felt that he shouldn't extort money from the old woman, he wouldn't have cooperated with her like that, but she really couldn't think of anything else.

Emperor Tianqi laughed in anger, "You also know that this is blackmail?"

Gu Lingyue chuckled, "This isn't something that I, your wife, will also confiscate."

Emperor Tianqi rolled his eyes at her and didn't continue the conversation. Instead, he said, "Since the Fourth Prince cares about you, then you should stop saying unlucky things. Go back and copy the Buddhist scriptures a hundred times to pray for the Fourth Prince. You are not allowed to leave Prince Jing's Mansion until you finish copying them."

"..."

Gu Lingyue was confused.

What the hell? When did she say anything unlucky? And he was joking, right? He was reciting the Buddhist sutra a hundred times!

Then you will keep copying until the end of time!

Gu Lingyue thought hard and finally remembered what she said when she blackmailed the old woman: "The prince's health is not good to begin with. What if he develops a chronic illness?"

It turned out that the old emperor was angry because he said Long Shang was sick.

Although she thought it was all superstition, she also hoped that Long Shang could come back safely this time. Besides, the old emperor was doing this as a kind of protection for himself.

Next time someone summons me to the palace, I can use the emperor's oral order to justify my decision.

After thinking it through, Gu Lingyue readily agreed.

Emperor Tianqi waved his hand to signal her to leave.

After Gu Lingyue left, Emperor Tianqi looked at the door of the imperial study and asked, "Do you think it was right or wrong for me to give this girl to Shang'er?"

He always felt that this girl was particularly evil, and something would happen every time she entered the palace.

Gao Ming flattered, "A marriage granted by the Emperor is of course a good one. Judging from how much Prince Jing loves Princess Jing, it's clear that the Emperor's granting of marriage has touched the heart of the Prince."

What Gao Ming said today not only failed to reassure Emperor Tianqi, but instead made him anxious.

Is it okay for a man to pamper a woman like this?

……

After Gu Lingyue came out of the imperial study, she took Yun Jin and left the palace directly.

At this time, there were two carriages parked next to the carriage of Prince Jin's Mansion. When they saw Gu Lingyue coming out, the curtains of the other two carriages were lifted, and Long Yuxi and Chang Xinshan got out of the carriages and greeted Gu Lingyue.

The two of them listened to Yun Jin's general account of what had happened, but they didn't know that Gu Lingyue had been assassinated. The queen just said that the banquet was over and asked everyone to leave, so they had to leave the palace.

"Fourth sister-in-law, are you okay?" They both asked worriedly at the same time.

"It's okay." Gu Lingyue smiled at the two of them, "Are you waiting for me on purpose instead of going home?"

They both nodded at the same time.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't been splashed with water, I wouldn't have changed my clothes, and my fourth sister-in-law wouldn't have been plotted against." Long Yuxi blamed herself.

"And me." Chang Xinshan also said sadly: "It's all my fault for not being vigilant enough. I knew that there was something wrong when that bitch Dong came to see me, but I still quarreled with her, allowing them to take advantage of the opportunity and deceive Fourth Sister-in-law."

Gu Lingyue comforted him, "It's not your fault. They wanted to make trouble for me. Even if you weren't there, there would be others. Don't be sad. I've come out of this in one piece.

I don’t care about their tricks.”

All three laughed.

"Go back quickly, don't let the heir to the throne and the princess wait anxiously." Gu Lingyue urged.

"Then let's get together again when Fourth Sister-in-law has time," Chang Xinshan suggested.

Long Yuxi also looked at Gu Lingyue with anticipation.

"Okay." Gu Lingyue agreed immediately. She was planning to be a pimp, so she would call her three brothers over when the time comes.

"It's just that the emperor has verbally ordered me not to leave the palace, but you can come to Prince Jing's palace, and I will treat you to barbecue."

After she finished speaking, Gu Lingyue thought about what she said about inviting Chang Jinnuo to dinner last time, so she looked at Chang Xinshan and said, "Invite your brother too when the time comes. I promised to treat him to dinner last time, but I haven't done it yet."

Chang Xinshan hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll go find him when I get back."

At this point, Chang Xinshan said angrily, "He's always out early and back late lately. I haven't seen him for a few days. He must be hanging out with his friends again. I'll tell my mother when I get home and see if she doesn't punish him."

Long Yuxi laughed. Her cousin had reported her brother to the police countless times, and he would be scolded by her aunt every time.

Gu Lingyue seemed to be thinking about something. She still remembered what Long Shang said to Chang Jinnuo in the hunting ground.

"Maybe he's not just going out to hang out this time, but he really has something else to do. If he's busy, there's no need to force it. You can come to the palace anytime you have time."

"okay, I get it."

The three of them said goodbye. After Gu Lingyue returned to the palace, Gu Chenrui was already waiting there. He said that Tang was afraid that Gu Lingyue would be bored in the mansion, so he asked him to come and keep her company. Gu Lingyue simply took Tang over as well.

With the oral order from Emperor Tianqi, Gu Lingyue rarely left the mansion and usually stayed in the mansion. During the time when Long Shang was away, she was responsible for guiding Gu Chenrui's martial arts.

Gu Chenrui didn't expect that his sister's kung fu was so powerful. He made great progress. Gu Lingyue also gave him a silenced pistol for self-defense and accompanied him in practice during this period.

She also discovered a surprise. The things in her space would be automatically replenished after being taken out, but they were all modern things. The things put in here did not have that function.

When she has free time, Gu Lingyue will sit there and copy Buddhist scriptures seriously, if for no other reason, she also wants Long Shang to be safe and sound.

These past few days, Tang has been personally preparing different kinds of food for the two of them to make up for the regret she has felt for Gu Lingyue over the years.

During this period, Gu Lingyue also received two letters from Long Shang. The first one was purely about missing him, and it was probably written on the road. Gu Lingyue also wrote back to him and told him a few unimportant things.

For example, Tang and Gu Chenrui came to the mansion to accompany her because they were afraid that she would be depressed. She wanted to pimp for her brothers, Chang Xinshan and Long Yuxi. As for what happened in the palace, she did not mention a word. In the end, she even printed a lip print on him and wrote the word "miss".

In the second letter, Long Shang also started by talking about the pain of missing her, and ended by saying that he had arrived in Youzhou, met her uncle and eldest and second brothers, and they agreed that her uncle would guard Youzhou, and her two brothers would lead the troops to cooperate with him. He would finish the work as soon as possible, and then find his master and come back.

The letter was sent by Long Shang through his own communication channel, and he was not afraid of others seeing it.

Gu Lingyue frowned as she held the letter. Only then did she realize that Long Shang was not only going to take back the military power of Yizhou, but also to find his master.

At this time, Gu Lingyue was sulking, blaming Long Shang for not telling him in advance. Little did she know that Long Shang had told her, but she was meeting Zhou Gong at that time.

At this moment, Wang An brought over two visiting cards, "Princess, the Prince Yu Mansion and the Princess Yizhen Mansion have sent visiting cards."

Gu Lingyue took it and saw that it was a post from Chang Xinshan and Long Yuxi asking her if she was free tomorrow and wanted to come to Prince Jing's Mansion.

She simply put Long Shang's letter away and didn't rush to reply. She said to Wang An, "Go and tell the person who came to ask the two county ladies to come tomorrow."

Wang An looked at the letter that Gu Lingyue had put away, and wanted to ask, "Princess, aren't you going to write back to the prince now? The prince is anxiously waiting for your reply."

He swallowed the words back when they were on the tip of his tongue, and replied, "Yes," before leaving.

Seeing that his princess looked unhappy, she didn't know what was written in the prince's letter?

Gu Lingyue called Qiu Tong in and said, "Go to my grandfather's house and see if my cousin and his family are there. If they are, tell them to come to the palace tomorrow."

"Yes."

The next morning, everyone arrived as scheduled, and Gu Lingyue asked someone to pick up Qin Lan as well.

Because there were girls and children with her, she took out probiotics from the space and fermented yogurt yesterday, and made French fries, chicken nuggets, and hamburgers, and skewered a lot of meat. Tang and Wenxiu also made a lot of snacks.

Gu Lingyue chose the garden as the place for barbecue, so that she can enjoy delicious food and appreciate the scenery. The most important thing is that the garden is more romantic than other places.

Gu Lingyue was the head chef, responsible for the barbecue, Qiu Tong and Yun Jin were helping out. Chang Jinnuo and Tang Wenqi went to the side to talk as soon as they arrived, while Chang Xinshan and others, including Gu Chenrui and Qin Lan, had long been conquered by foods such as yogurt and French fries, and were chatting animatedly while tasting them.

"What is this? It's sour and sweet, with a milky aroma. It tastes so good!" Chang Xinshan's eyes sparkled after she finished drinking a mouthful of yogurt.

"My sister said this is called yogurt, and it's originally made from milk." Gu Chenrui said proudly, "My sister and I made it together."

At that time, his sister asked someone to boil milk and let it cool down, and he watched from the side. When he put the bacteria in at the end, he stirred it himself.

"Really?" Chang Xinshan shouted to Gu Lingyue with anticipation, "Fourth sister-in-law, can you teach me this?"

She really likes this... yogurt, it's sour and sweet, and especially refreshing. Her mother must like it too.

Long Yuxi's eyes also lit up.

"Okay." Gu Lingyue came over with the freshly grilled skewers in her hand. She placed them on two plates and picked up one of them. "It has a special seasoning in it. I'll give some to you and Yuxi later and teach you how to make it."

"That's great." Chang Xinshan said with a smile.

"Thank you, Fourth Sister-in-law." Long Yuxi also said with a smile.

"Why are you being so polite to me?" Gu Lingyue chuckled, then looked at Gu Chenrui standing beside her, "Rui'er, go take these barbecues to Prince Jin and Third Brother."

But at this time, Gu Chenrui seemed not to hear anything, and stared with displeasure at Yun Shu and Tang Wenle who were arguing over feeding each other snowballs.

What's wrong with this woman? Why doesn't she pay more attention? Doesn't she feel that she is a little too close to her fourth cousin?

Gu Lingyue found it a little funny that Gu Chenrui didn't hear what she said at all, but kept looking at Yun Shu and Tang Wenle.

In fact, ever since the day she cured him of the snake venom, she had noticed that he paid too much attention to Yun Shu.

Thinking of the ancient customs, coupled with the fact that Gu Chenrui matured earlier than other children, and her scumbag father's attitude towards her mother, she probably guessed what he was thinking.

This kind of thing is just like the premature love of modern children. The more teachers and parents talk to him, the more excited he will become. Only by letting him face the facts himself can he solve the problem.

So, as long as he didn't do anything excessive, she didn't care about him.

Gu Lingyue no longer counted on Gu Chenrui. Just as she was about to deliver it to them herself, Long Yuxi stood up and said, "Fourth sister-in-law, are you delivering it to my cousin and Young Master Tang San? Let me do it."

Gu Lingyue originally wanted to let them get in touch today to see if they were interested in each other. However, her third brother and Prince Jin hid aside to discuss something as soon as they arrived. Since Yuxi was willing to send them over, it was a good opportunity for them to get to know each other.

So, she readily handed the plate to Long Yuxi, "Then please trouble Yuxi to deliver it to them."

Long Yuxi looked embarrassed and said, "Thank you for being so polite, Fourth Sister-in-law. It's what I should do."

They hadn't been able to help at all from the moment they arrived and just started sitting there eating. Delivering some barbecue was no big deal.

She took the plate and walked towards where Chang Jinnuo and Tang Wenqi were, and Chang Xinshan also stood up, "Fourth sister-in-law, can I visit the garden?"

"Of course." Gu Lingyue said with a smile.

Chang Xinshan ran away happily after hearing this.

This was her first time visiting Prince Jing's Mansion. She had heard that there was a very beautiful fish in the Mansion, so she had to go and see it.

At this time, Yun Shu was still arguing with Tang Wenle.

"You don't need to feed Snowball, just stay away from it." Yun Shu glared at Tang Wenle unhappily.

Who is that person? He has been following her since Snowball came. She has never fed Snowball raw meat, let alone meat thrown on the ground.

He came over and threw a piece of raw meat on the ground for Snowball to eat, and even said that a beast should act like a beast. It really made him angry.

"Why should I stay away from it? Doesn't what I said make sense?" Tang Wenle said unconvinced.

……

The two of them were arguing. Tang Wen Ze stood up and left with a frown. Gu Chenrui was still staring at the two of them with an unhappy look on his face. Qin Lan was sitting alone in the corner eating by himself.

Gu Lingyue looked at the overall situation and felt that Yunshu and her fourth brother were two big enemies, and it would be a good idea for them to be a couple. However, she was afraid that her second aunt would not agree. After all, her second aunt wanted her fourth brother to marry a noble lady instead of a girl like Yunshu who had no status or background.

Gu Lingyue shook her head and looked at Tang Wenqi.

At this time, Long Yuxi had already walked up to them with a barbecue plate, and the two people who were still talking suddenly shut up.

Long Yuxi knew that she had disturbed the two of them. She said with an embarrassed look on her face, "This is the barbecue that my fourth sister-in-law asked me to bring to my cousin and Young Master Tang San."

She thought about putting down the plate and leaving quickly, but the more anxious she was, the more mistakes she made.

She accidentally stepped on her skirt and fell towards the two of them.

"Be careful!" Tang Wenqi and Chang Jinnuo said at the same time.

Tang Wenqi quickly stretched out his arms and hugged Long Yuxi, and Chang Jinnuo caught the plate.

Long Yuxi blushed and twisted her body. Tang Wenqi quickly released the hand that was holding Long Yuxi's waist, and said with a slight blush on the tip of his ears: "I'm sorry, Tang."

Long Yuxi raised her head, the blush on her face still not fading, "No, it's me who should thank Young Master Tang San."

Just as they were experiencing this embarrassing scene, they heard a "splash!" and the sound of water echoed from the edge of the pond, followed by Chang Xinshan's cry for help, "Help!"
