When they arrived at the main hall, Gu Lingyue saw a middle-aged couple sitting on chairs talking about something. When they saw them, they stood up and greeted them with a smile.

"Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang." Long Shang also called them politely, and Gu Lingyue followed suit.

"I heard yesterday that Prince Jing had woken up, but I was a little bit unconvinced. Now I see that Prince Jing has indeed recovered, which is really cause for celebration." The heir king said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." The heir princess also echoed.

"Thank you, Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, for your concern." Long Shang waved his hand, motioning Yun Hao to push him in, and continued, "Please sit down."

After the heir king and his wife sat down with a smile, Long Shang was pushed to the main seat by Yun Hao. Gu Lingyue followed him in and sat down below Long Shang.

The heir prince then said, "My husband and I have taken the liberty of visiting you today to express our gratitude to Princess Jing for saving our son's life yesterday."

After he finished speaking, the Princess Heir signaled the maid behind her to place a box next to the table where Gu Lingyue was sitting. "Princess Jing saved my son's life. We are so grateful to her that I cannot repay her. This is a small token of our gratitude. Please accept it, Princess Jing."

"You're too kind." Gu Lingyue saw the maid open the box, and inside lay five round, white, crystal clear jade beads, which were obviously priceless treasures.

She quickly refused, "I can't accept something this valuable. I didn't do anything. It was just a small favor."

Only then did Long Shang understand that Yue'er had saved the heir king's son when she went out yesterday. He looked at Gu Lingyue with a gentle expression, feeling proud.

"But if it weren't for your help, my son's life would be in danger. Princess Jing, please don't refuse and accept it." said the heir to the throne.

"Yes, you saved my son's life. My husband and I don't know how to repay you except giving you some personal belongings. Don't be polite, just accept it." The heir princess also persuaded.

Gu Lingyue looked at Long Shang. Although she wanted to accept it, she was in Prince Jing's Mansion after all. She was giving it in the name of Princess Jing. Even if it was a thank-you gift to her, it was too heavy. She couldn't help but think about it too much.

Long Shang looked at the stars in her eyes and nodded with amusement. It seemed that she really liked treasures.

If Gu Lingyue knew what he was thinking, she would definitely refute him. She didn't like treasures, she liked money! Money! Money!

How could she not like a space that loves to eat money!

"In that case, I will accept it shamelessly." Gu Lingyue said as he closed the box.

"It should be so." The heir king laughed heartily.

The heir king and his wife chatted with Gu Lingyue and Long Shang for a few more words, and mentioned the incident of Gu Chenrui being bitten by a snake.

The heir king said that the matter had been investigated clearly. It was the young master of General Shen's family and the second son of the Gu family who sent people to release the snake. Although the two had not been to school for a few days, they still issued a notice to expel them from the school.

Gu Lingyue expressed her gratitude, and the heir to the throne and his wife said goodbye and left.

After they left, Long Shang raised a faint smile, staring at Gu Lingyue intently and said, "How come I didn't know when Yue'er saved the young master of the Heir King's family?"

Gu Lingyue rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why should I report my affairs to you? It doesn't mean you will tell me everything about you."

As for Long Shang calling her "Yue'er", she has become immune to it. What she said doesn't count anyway, so he can call her whatever he wants. She doesn't bother to care.

"As long as Yue'er wants to know, I can tell you one by one." Long Shang said with a smile.

"Don't..." Gu Lingyue said quickly: "I don't want to hear what you want to say. I won't do anything like curiosity kills the cat."

As he said that, he stood up, picked up the box on the table and walked outside.

"Don't call me when you're eating. I need to study how to detoxify you." As soon as the voice fell, the man had already left the main hall.

Long Shang shook his head helplessly, looked at Gu Lingyue's departing back, and said in a deep voice: "Calculating the time, Xinyu and the others should have arrived in Xishu."

"Yes." Yun Hao said respectfully, "Master Ye has sent a letter. They have now arrived in Western Shu and are trying every possible way to find Master Ye."

Long Shang nodded, "Write him a reply and tell him that I already have a way to detoxify him. Tell him to stop worrying about it and find the master first. And be careful about everything."

"My subordinate understands."

At this time, in the palace, Queen Shen slowly woke up, staring at the bed curtains with a dull look. After a while, a trace of hatred flashed in her eyes.

"How is the prince?"

Upon hearing this, Jinsuo hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered the execution of all those in the 'Sacrificial House' and has also confined the Crown Prince to his house for a month, on the grounds that 'the Crown Prince's punishment of the servant was not wrong, but his methods were somewhat extreme'.

As for the Crown Prince, the imperial physician hasn't returned yet, so I don't know if the Crown Prince has woken up yet."

Empress Shen smiled upon hearing this, a smile that was somewhat sinister. "I never thought that after struggling in the harem for so many years, I would end up falling into the hands of a fool whom I despise the most. Good, very good, very good."

"Your Majesty, please calm down!" Jinsuo hurriedly consoled her. "The Crown Prince is injured and unconscious, and he's under house arrest. Prince Xing is also injured. We're all relying on you to hold them all together. You must not collapse!"

Jinsuo's words successfully calmed Queen Shen's restless mood. She nodded repeatedly, "You are right. I will avenge Xian'er. I will make that idiot and Long Shang die a miserable death. I need to think about it carefully, think about it carefully..."

At this time, Emperor Tianqi also received the news reported by the secret guards.

As he had guessed, it was indeed his fourth son who did it, but the reason was that the crown prince coveted his princess.

Emperor Tianqi was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he also understood the reason why the prince did this.

His fourth son already had military power. If he was still unconscious like before, it would be fine even if Gu Lingyue married him. But now that he is awake, the matter is different.

He has 100,000 soldiers and Tang Zhenhong has 200,000 soldiers. Together, they have half of Tianqi's soldiers. How can the prince not be worried?

Not to mention him, even I felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, but fortunately I knew that Tang Zhenhong was loyal to Tianqi and would never betray him.

But now this has happened, not only does it involve his two sons, but there is also Gu Lingyue, who is Tang Zhenhong's granddaughter. If this matter is not handled properly, it will create a rift between the emperor and his subjects, so the only option is to do as the rumor says, and the prince will punish the servant.

And at this time in the Prince's Mansion.

Long Xian also woke up. The Crown Princess didn't know what had happened. She looked at the Crown Prince's face full of gloom and asked with tears in her eyes, "Your Highness, what happened? Please tell me, don't scare me."

Long Xian turned around and glared at the Crown Princess coldly, shouting, "Get out!!"

He now felt nauseous when he saw a woman, and there was a sense of panic in his heart for no reason.

The Crown Princess was shocked by the Crown Prince's sudden fierce and fierce look. It took her a while to come back to her senses. She trembled and said, "Your Highness, get out! I'll get out now!"

After she left, she heard Long Xian's gritting teeth and roaring from inside the room, "Long Shang—I will never coexist with you!!"
