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

Queen Shen ignored Concubine Lu and looked at Gu Lingyue with a complicated expression.

Gu Lingyue stood there, calm and composed, allowing Empress Shen and the concubines from the other palaces to look at her.

At this time, Jinsuo had already placed a cushion in front of Gu Lingyue and brought over a cup of tea.

Upon seeing this, Gu Lingyue knelt down, took the teacup from Jinsuo, and handed it to the queen with a serious look, "Mother, please have some tea."

Upon seeing this, the empresses from all the palaces looked at Gu Lingyue in surprise.

They thought that Miss Gu would come to the Queen to cry about the marriage exchange, but they didn't expect that she would politely offer tea to the Queen.

Queen Shen frowned slightly when she saw this.

Doesn't this idiot only like Jun'er? Then what does it mean by not making a fuss?

Is it possible that her love for Jun'er is fake?

Thinking this in her heart, Empress Shen calmly gestured for Jinsuo to bring the teacup over, took a sip, and then handed the cup to Jinsuo, "Be good, get up quickly."

"Thank you, mother." Gu Lingyue stood up.

Empress Shen waved towards Gu Lingyue and asked her to sit beside her. She patted her hand and sighed, "Yue girl, you are a good girl. It's a pity that Jun'er, that bastard, doesn't have this blessing.

However, fortunately, you are now Shang'er's princess, and still my daughter-in-law."

Although Queen Shen was talking, she was secretly observing Gu Lingyue's reaction, wanting to see whether Gu Lingyue really didn't care about her Jun'er, or was it because there were so many people here that she didn't know what to say?

Gu Lingyue looked at the hand that was grabbed, with a frown on her face. Why did the ancient people like to grab other people's hands?

At this moment, she forced a smile and said, "Thank you, mother. I will remember this."

She didn't know what Queen Shen was up to. She thought Queen Shen would not make things difficult for her and would not dislike her, but she didn't expect things to take a 360-degree turn.

However, she is not someone who is afraid of trouble.

When Queen Shen saw Gu Lingyue's forced smile, she thought she had not let go of Prince Xing.

Her unhappy mood suddenly improved.

As long as this idiot still likes his son, it will be fine. In this way, even if she marries Prince Jing, he can still use her for his own purposes.

When Concubine Lu saw that Gu Lingyue did not make a fuss, although she did not understand why this idiot did not play by the rules today, she also knew that there was no fun today. She curled her lips, stood up and said, "Boring." Then she said goodbye and left.

The others also wanted to leave, but they had just found excuses to stay, so it was difficult to leave now.

Queen Shen ignored them and instead rewarded Gu Lingyue with many things, and had them sent to Prince Jing's Mansion. Only then did she send Gu Lingyue out of Qingluan Palace.

When they arrived at the palace gate, Ye Xinyu was sitting bored in the carriage. Seeing them coming, he complained, "Why did it take so long? I'm starving."

Gu Lingyue glanced at him indifferently, ignored him, and got on the carriage.

It was already noon, and she was extremely hungry and tired. She didn't want to say a word.

Seeing that Gu Lingyue didn't say anything, Yun Jin knew that her princess was tired, so she glared at Ye Xinyu.

Since entering the palace in the morning, her princess has been running back and forth between the palaces. Her princess hasn't even said she's tired, but he's already complaining about her princess.

"If Young Master Ye is in a hurry to go back, you can use your Qinggong skills to go back by yourself. This is the carriage of our palace. I will drive it." Yun Jin stepped forward and prepared to take the whip from Ye Xinyu, but Ye Xinyu dodged him.

He knew that what he said was a bit too much, but he was too embarrassed to apologize. He muttered, "Aren't you guys out late anyway?"

When Yun Jin was about to say something, Gu Lingyue in the carriage said, "Yun Jin, get in."

She is now the real mistress of Prince Jing's Mansion, so it is natural for her to command Yunjin.

Hearing his princess calling him, Yun Jin snorted coldly and got on the carriage. Ye Xinyu drove the carriage towards Prince Jing's Mansion.

The carriage was driving on the street and heard someone selling sugar-roasted chestnuts outside. Gu Lingyue asked Yun Jin to go down and buy two bags of sugar-roasted chestnuts.

She was really hungry, but she couldn't take anything out of the space to eat in front of them, so when Yun Jin peeled the skin and handed it to her, she took it without hesitation and started eating.

Looking at Gu Lingyue like this, Yun Jin felt very distressed.

If their master had come with them, it would have been done in less than an incense stick of time. The princess would never have endured such hardship.

Unfortunately, even if their master woke up now, he couldn't get out of bed, let alone enter the palace.

What Yun Jin didn't know was that if Long Shang hadn't asked Ye Xinyu to go to the palace to tell Gao Ming that he had woken up, how could Emperor Tianqi have easily spared the Gu family?

……

At the same time, the ancient mansion.

After Gu Shuo came back, he went straight to Liu's yard.

Seeing her master's angry face, Liu guessed that he must have found out about the marriage exchange.

Although she was a little scared, she felt more confident when she thought that Prince Xing also knew about this and had agreed to the marriage exchange. However, she still asked her personal nanny to go find Madam Gu.

She forced a smile and said, "Master, why are you back so early today?"

"You still have the nerve to ask me?" Gu Shuo glared at her fiercely. "I'm asking you, was it you who caused Yue'er and Yan'er to get into the wrong bridal sedan?"

Upon hearing this, Liu felt a little guilty, but she still pretended to be calm and said in surprise, "You...what did you say? Yan'er and Yue'er got into the wrong sedan chair?"

Gu Shuo looked at Liu's expression of pretending to be ignorant, and angrily slapped her in the face, causing her to fall to the ground with blood coming from the corner of her mouth.

He pointed at Liu and cursed, "Don't play dumb with me. Who else could it be if not you? You didn't want Yan'er to bring good luck to Prince Jing, so you switched the two sisters into the wrong bridal sedan. But why don't you think about this? This is a marriage granted by the Emperor. You switched the brides without authorization, which is disobeying the Emperor's order. Do you want everyone in our Gu Mansion to die?"

Just when Gu Shuo was getting angry, Madam Gu hurried over, supported by the nanny beside her.

She saw Liu fall to the ground with blood at the corner of her mouth, and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

The nanny beside Liu, who had returned with Madam Gu, saw her master lying on the ground and hurried forward to help her up.

Liu didn't get up. Instead, she covered her red and swollen face with her hands and cried aggrievedly, "Mother, please help me! Did the master hit me?"

Upon hearing this, Madam Gu looked at Gu Shuo and asked, "Ah Shuo, what on earth is going on? She's your wife, Xuan'er and their biological mother. Even if you're angry, you can't hit her, right?"

"Mom, why don't you ask her what good things she has done?" Gu Shuo was furious.

Liu was his cousin. On the first day when he went to Beijing for the imperial examination, they drank some wine and became husband and wife without knowing it. In the end, his mother made the decision and they got married in a simple ceremony.

On the way to Beijing, he met his current wife, Tang, by chance and fell in love with her at first sight. Later, he found out that she was actually the daughter of the Marquis of Zhenbei.

After he passed the imperial examination, he immediately asked a matchmaker to propose to the Marquis of Zhenbei. Unexpectedly, the Marquis of Zhenbei agreed.

Not long after the marriage, Tang became pregnant, but unfortunately she had a miscarriage which damaged her body and she never got pregnant again. Only then did his mother tell him that his cousin was pregnant that time and gave birth to a son, who was now living in a farm outside the city.

After the shock, he was accompanied by his mother to the farm and met Liu and the child.

The child was already two years old at that time, and my mood was particularly complicated. On the one hand, I was happy that I had a son, but on the other hand, I was afraid that my wife would be angry if she knew.

While eating, he couldn't help but drink a little too much. Who knew that he would sleep with Liu again.

After waking up, he felt regretful and a little sorry for his wife, but looking at the longing in his sons' eyes, he knew that he could not ignore them and would have to take them back sooner or later.

In the end, I went to the farm often. After a few visits, Liu became pregnant again. At this time, Tang was also three months pregnant.

She was afraid that Tang would be angry and have another miscarriage after knowing the truth, so she had to hide it from her. In the end, Tang and Liu gave birth to a daughter each.

Two years later, Tang was silent again. His mother forced him to take Liu back to the house on the grounds that Tang could not give birth to a son. However, he kept the fact that the two children were his own biological children a secret. He only said that Liu was a widow with two children, and out of pity, he made her his concubine. When Liu gave birth to another boy, his mother said that her son could not be a concubine, so she made Liu his co-wife and took away Tang's power as the head of the family. The funny thing was, a few years later, Tang actually gave birth to a son...

Thinking of this, he didn't want to think about it anymore. That son was not his own at all, but a bastard. Tang actually dared to cheat on him behind his back. What was infuriating was that she even said that he was her own. When he asked her at that time, she clearly said that nothing happened between them, but after she became pregnant, she actually said that it was her child. He was ridiculous that he actually thought it was his own son. It was not until the blood test that the truth was revealed.

For a moment, Gu Shuo thought a lot. He originally felt a little sorry for Liu, and his mother protected her, so no matter how she made trouble in the mansion, he turned a blind eye and let her do whatever she wanted. He didn't expect that she was so bold and dared to disobey the emperor's will. If the emperor hadn't taken him into consideration today for his diligence over the years, their Gu family would be finished.

Thinking of this, he snorted coldly and told Madam Gu the whole story, including the fact that he had been demoted by the emperor to the position of Minister of Rites.

After hearing this, Madam Gu looked at Liu in disbelief.

She had never thought that Liu would do such a treasonous thing, and even caused her son to be demoted. She pointed at Liu angrily, not knowing what to say for a moment. Finally, she sighed, "You...are confused!"

Liu didn't expect that her master would be demoted because of this matter, and she was dumbfounded for a moment.

At that time, her Yan'er clearly said that the emperor loved Prince Xing so much and would never punish her master for this matter.

Unfortunately, now that the thing has happened, it’s too late to say anything.

At this point, she was even more afraid to admit it and just kept crying, hoping to get away with it.

Mrs. Gu felt a little sad when she saw Liu like this.

After all, she was his niece and had given birth to three children for the Gu family. Although it caused his son to lose his official position, at least the family saved their lives. Now that the two daughters of the Gu family were married to princes, his son's official position would be promoted sooner or later. However, the power of housekeeping could no longer be controlled by Liu.

She looked at her son, "Ashuo, what are you going to do?"

Upon hearing this, although Liu was still crying, her voice was much softer. She also wanted to hear how her master planned to deal with her.

Gu Shuo looked at Liu and gritted his teeth in anger, but what else could he do? He certainly couldn't divorce her, right?

They have three children together. Apart from Yan'er, the eldest has not yet been married and the youngest son is not yet an adult. If he divorces her, it will implicate his two sons. More importantly, if he divorces her, others will know that the marriage swap between his two daughters was not the servants' mistake, but her so-called act. In that case, it would be really disobeying the imperial order.
