Gu Lingyue didn't know what Long Shang was thinking. Seeing that she couldn't communicate with him, she thought that if she annoyed him, maybe it would work. So she said, "If it's not trouble, could it be the person you like?"

"Correct."

When Gu Lingyue heard this, her heart skipped a beat. Damn, no way, she was just talking casually. She didn't want to become Long Shang's princess.

It would be fine if he died. She could be a widow princess, and no one would think that she would compete with them for the throne. She wouldn't have to compete with a bunch of women for men.

But he didn't die, but was alive instead, so he couldn't stay in the palace.

When he was unconscious, the Empress Dowager and the Queen were on guard against him. Now that he is awake, isn't Prince Jing's Mansion even more dangerous?

When Long Shang saw that Gu Lingyue was not happy but looked worried as soon as he finished speaking, a sense of loss vaguely emerged in his heart.

He sighed in his heart, he was still anxious. It seemed that he had to proceed step by step and not be too impatient, otherwise, he would really scare her away.

So, he slowed down his tone and said gently, "Okay, I won't tease you anymore.

You and I were married by our father, and it’s not that easy to get a divorce.

First, the emperor must be consulted, and then the Imperial Clan Bureau will review the case. Only after the result is given will a decision be made on whether to grant the divorce. Moreover, all the things granted by the emperor must be taken back."

"What? You want the reward back?" Gu Lingyue asked in surprise.

The things Emperor Tianqi had given her as a reward had already been used to upgrade her space, so how could she return them? Wasn't this just cheating?

Gu Lingyue looked depressed.

Seeing this, Long Shang thought that she simply didn't want to return the reward, so he felt happy.

Little thing, just ask for something.

In this way, he would have an excuse not to divorce and would have more opportunities to spend time with her. He believed that as long as they had more opportunities to spend time together, sooner or later he would be able to make her fall in love with him.

So he coughed lightly and said, "This is the royal rule. I can't do anything about it. However, other than divorce, if you have any conditions, I will agree to them as long as I can do it."

Gu Lingyue glared at him, thinking that Emperor Tianqi still needed one condition from her. She wondered if she could use it to ask for an imperial decree for divorce. But then she thought of the reward and sighed.

Forget it, I can only wait and find another opportunity.

Even if I asked for the imperial edict of divorce, I would have nothing to return to the emperor. If I had known this earlier, I would have asked him for a few more conditions. In this way, I would have the conditions for the imperial edict and the conditions for not returning the things.

Alas! Gu Lingyue sighed again in her heart, looked at Long Shang and said, "One million taels of silver."

We can't even get a divorce, who knows what will happen next? I've taken such a big risk, asking him for one million taels of silver is already too cheap.

"Okay." Long Shang agreed without hesitation with a smile on his face.

One million taels of silver was nothing to him. If he could keep the person, he would be willing to accept not only one million taels of silver but also all his belongings.

Seeing that Long Shang agreed to her without any hesitation, Gu Lingyue always felt that she had overlooked something, but she couldn't figure it out for a moment.

She is the kind of person who will let go of things she doesn't understand and not dwell on them. One day the truth will come out.

Now that the terms had been agreed upon, she thought about the internal energy required to use the Phantom Needle, and that the ancient martial arts she had learned in her previous life should be easy to practice now. So, she looked at Long Shang and said, "Your Highness, please prepare for the next few days and pass on the necessary tasks. I also need to prepare a little bit. I'll notify Your Highness when I'm ready."

Long Shang obeyed Gu Lingyue one by one. As long as she said it, he would agree to it.

After saying this, Gu Lingyue saw that there was nothing more to say, so she stood up, said goodbye and walked towards the door.

At this time, Yun Hao and Wang An were leaning against the door and eavesdropping. When Gu Lingyue opened the door, they lost their balance and fell into the house.

The two of them smiled awkwardly and quickly got up. Gu Lingyue glanced at them indifferently, turned and left. Yun Shu and Yun Jin smiled and hurried to follow.

After Gu Lingyue left, Yun Hao asked excitedly, "My Lord, can the princess really cure your poison?"

Long Shang snorted coldly and said, "Didn't you hear everything? Do you need me to repeat it?"

Although he said that, he was in a very happy mood. No matter what, he decided to keep the person for the time being.

……

Not long after Gu Lingyue returned to Qiulanju, Wang An brought people over.

"Greetings, Princess." Because Gu Lingyue had just discovered his eavesdropping, Wang An's face still looked a little unnatural. After all, at such an old age, it was really embarrassing to eavesdrop on the host's conversation!

Gu Lingyue naturally saw Wang An's expression, so she pretended nothing had happened and asked, "Uncle Wang, is there something wrong?"

"In reply to your princess, the prince said that you will be treating him in the future. Qiulan Residence is a bit far from Zizhuxuan, so he asked me to bring people to help you move to Biboxuan."

"Bi Bo Xuan?" Gu Lingyue frowned.

"Yes." Wang An replied, "Biboxuan is right next to Zizhuxuan. You won't have to walk such a long distance in the future. It's also convenient."

"alright."

It doesn’t matter where Gu Lingyue lives. She plans to practice with all her strength in the next few days, and she will be fine as long as no one disturbs her.

Upon hearing this, Yun Shu and Yun Jin hurriedly helped Gu Lingyue pack her things, while Gu Lingyue took this opportunity to return to the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

She wanted to give Tang another injection and say hello to her. She was quite busy at the moment, so she asked her to just go to Prince Jing's Mansion to find her if she had anything to say.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, he saw Gu Shuo standing on the side of the door, staring at the gate with an awkward look on his face.

Seeing her, he smiled bitterly and asked in a hoarse voice, eyes full of hope: "Yue'er, you're here? Your mother..."

Gu Lingyue pretended not to know what had happened. Looking at Gu Shuo, who had aged significantly overnight, she deliberately put on a concerned look and said, "Dad, why are you here? Did something happen? How did you become like this?"

Seeing that Gu Lingyue seemed to care about him, Gu Shuo sighed in his heart that it was his daughter who cared about him.

"Yue'er, you're right. Mixing blood doesn't necessarily mean we're related..."

Gu Shuo had just started talking and was about to continue when the gate of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion suddenly opened and several people were about to walk out.

Among them, Gu Chenrui and Tang Shi were also inside, and were walking in front.

Today, Tang was wearing a peach-pink dress embroidered with peony patterns, with her hair in a bun and a gold hairpin inlaid with gems. Her face had turned rosy, and she looked radiant, like a completely different person.

Gu Chenrui changed into a newly made blue shirt, looking like a little adult, with his back straight and a smile on his face, just like a noble young man.

A few people were talking and laughing, and when they saw Gu Lingyue at the door, the smiles on their faces did not disappear.

"Sister!" Gu Chenrui called out awkwardly, then looked behind Gu Lingyue.

When I didn't see the person I was looking for, I felt disappointed.

Tang also said with a loving look: "Yue'er is here, why don't you come in quickly?"

She felt much better today, so she packed up and planned to personally send her son Ruier to school.

After giving birth to Ruier, her health became worse day by day. She didn't even send Ruier off to the study on his first day. So today was the first day Ruier went to the study after he fell ill, and she decided to send him off in person.

Everyone also greeted Gu Lingyue with a smile.

"I was just about to go in." Gu Lingyue said with a smile, looking at Gu Shuo who was standing beside the gate.

Gu Shuo then took a step forward and appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone who had smiles on their faces suddenly changed their expressions.

"Bad luck." Wenxiu said, "I should have checked the almanac before going out today."

Tang looked at Gu Shuo with disgust, then looked at Gu Lingyue. Why did her Yue'er come with this guy?

Gu Chenrui's smiling face also turned cold. She wouldn't go back to her old self, would she?

Gu Shuo also didn't expect that Tang and others would come out. He originally just wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that he would actually meet Tang. His face suddenly turned red and he lowered his head in shame.

Gu Lingyue explained with a wry smile, "I just arrived and saw..."

She didn't say the rest, and everyone understood.
