Contract Prince

The atmosphere on the carriage changed from the previous warmth to rigidity. Gu Yunjing looked helplessly at Xiao Muxue's livid and indifferent face.

After getting along day and night during this period, the relationship between the son-in-law and the princess gradually became harmonious.When facing Gu Yunjing, Xiao Muxue let go of her aloof airs and became sensible and easy-going.

Gu Yunjing was not used to Sixth Princess's straight-faced, stern look.She asked, "Your Highness, what's the matter with you?"

Xiao Muxue didn't plan to talk to Gu Yunjing at all.

Gu Yunjing looked at the sixth princess who was still depressed, and pursed her mouth knowingly.Since Xiao Muxue doesn't want to talk to her, it's better not to be so annoying.

The son-in-law offended the princess for some reason, and she felt as if she had been rejected, and felt very aggrieved.The carriage was so dull that it was hard to breathe, Gu Yunjing simply opened the curtain, trying to shift his attention to the pedestrians on the road.

The carriage drove in the most prosperous center of the city, and all kinds of shouts kept coming.There are many shops here, and BMW carved cars drive side by side, which is a lively scene.

But no matter how lively the scene was, in Gu Yunjing's eyes, it was all boring.Because the sixth princess is unhappy, how can the son-in-law be happy?From time to time, Gu Yunjing lowered his head and secretly meowed at Xiao Muxue's face, lamenting in his heart.

The two faced each other awkwardly, and after an unknown amount of time, the carriage finally arrived at Zhenyuanhou's Mansion.

Xiao Muxue got off the car and walked straight towards the mansion without saying a word.At this moment, Gu Yunjing doesn't have the calm and calm appearance of the past. She is like a child who has done something wrong, following behind Xiao Muxue step by step.

As soon as the two entered the hall, Marquis Tao Shen of Wu'an came to visit him.Tao Shen came to see Gu Yunjing, naturally because of Tao Ce's affairs.He knew that Gu Yunjing was extremely intelligent, so he would definitely think of a good plan to save Tao Ce.

Gu Yunjing knew Tao Shen's reason for coming, so she sent the servants down.

"Meet the princess, my son-in-law." Tao Shen bowed and saluted.Although he is an elder, he is still a courtier in front of the princess and son-in-law.

"Tao Uncle really upset Yunjing, hurry up and get up." Gu Yunjing helped Tao Shen to the seat.

Tao Shen struggled to get up, but was still restrained by Gu Yunjing.Marquis Tao Shen of Wu'an was a handsome man when he was young, even though he was getting older, his sexiness remained the same as before.

However, what happened to Tao Ce was like a bolt from the blue, giving him a fatal blow.This handsome bearded man now looks haggard and old, which makes Gu Yunjing feel distressed when he sees it.

Ever since he left the palace, Tao Shen has been running around on Tao Ce's affairs, he has been so busy until now, he didn't even bother to drink tea, his lips looked a little dry.Gu Yunjing personally poured a cup of tea for Tao Shen, and comforted him, "Uncle Tao, drink a cup of tea first."

Tao Shen waved his hand, not intending to drink.Thinking of his son Tao Ce, he said painfully, "Ce'er is still being imprisoned in Dali Temple Prison, why would I want to drink tea?"

Gu Yunjing comforted: "Uncle Tao, no matter what, you have to take care of your body first. If you collapse, who will save Tao Ce?"

Tao Shen looked at Gu Yunjing with earnest eyes, and said in a pleading tone: "My son-in-law, for the sake of you still calling me Uncle Tao, I beg you to help Tao Ce."

"It's natural. Father and Uncle Tao are close friends, and Tao Ce and I have a deep bond. So even if you don't tell me, I won't just sit idly by."

"What's more, Tao Ce was tricked to save me from a siege." Looking at Tao Shen's tired expression, the son-in-law felt ashamed for a moment.

The young man cupped his hands: "Don't worry, Uncle Tao, Yun Jing will do his best to rescue Tao Ce."

After hearing Gu Yunjing's assurance, Tao Shen's frowns that were knit into a ball finally relaxed slightly.

Gu Yunjing has great talent and great strategy. Marquis Wu An has experienced the wisdom of the son-in-law a long time ago. As long as she is willing to help, I believe Tao Ce will be rescued smoothly.

"Uncle Tao, the rescue of Tao Ce needs to be well planned. Only by finding evidence that Lu Zhong framed him can we clear Tao Ce's innocence. It will take some time to investigate the case, and the most urgent thing is to delay the finalization of the case in Dali Temple. "

Gu Yunjing told Tao Shen all the plans discussed with Xiao Muxue in the carriage: "Uncle Tao, you need to go to the Qin Tianjian to make arrangements, so let him tell His Majesty like this, night astrology and March will be held There is a bad omen, and it is not suitable to see blood this month."

"Okay." Tao Shen said.He has a good friendship with Qin Tianjian, so it is probably no problem to ask the other party for a favor.

"After stabilizing here, I will go to Wangyou Valley again and ask my master some questions. The problem must be in the wine. My master's knowledge of medicine may provide me with a lot of clues."

Tao Shen also knew that Tao Ce's temperament changed drastically after drinking.However, he was still very puzzled about the drink issue, and his doubts were exactly the same as Xiao Muxue's.

That's why Gu Yunjing was fine after drinking the wine that Lu Zhong handed over, but it was Tao Ce's turn that something went wrong?Could it be that Lu Zhong didn't tamper with the first drink?

After thinking about it, Tao Shen felt that something was wrong. Tao Ce obviously blocked the wine for Gu Yunjing, so there was no reason why Lu Zhong didn't attack Gu Yunjing in the first place?

"I have always had a doubt in my heart. The son-in-law also drank the wine that Lu Zhong handed over. Why did something happen to Ce'er when you were fine?" Tao Shen sighed, "It is precisely because this does not make sense that Lu Zhong has More opportunities to defend himself. Only then did he have the courage to tell His Majesty that this is not a problem with the drinks, but a problem with Tao Ce's personal style."

At that time, Gu Yunjing had reacted.But because she is a daughter, Chun. Xin. Dong does not have a great effect on her.Except for the princess and Tao Ce who sat close to her at the banquet, no one else noticed her strangeness.

Gu Yunjing said: "To be honest with Uncle Tao, my body also reacted after drinking alcohol." She cast a look at Xiao Muxue, "His Royal Highness knows this."

"That's right." Xiao Muxue looked indifferent to Gu Yunjing before, but now she still speaks for her.

Tao Shen said solemnly: "If the son-in-law can go and talk to His Majesty, His Majesty will definitely believe that it is indeed a problem with the drinks. Maybe he can forgive Tao Cewang."

"No." Gu Yunjing hurriedly stood up and refused. Realizing that her behavior was a bit extreme, she said slowly, "Uncle Tao, think about it, I didn't have any obvious special behavior at the banquet. Even if I go to tell His Majesty now , he might not believe it either."

"Your Majesty knows that our two families are family friends. He will definitely think that I said that on purpose to help Tao Ce offend. Then maybe I will be punished for perjury. Tao Ce was not rescued, but I There's no denying it."

Gu Yunjing's brain is very flexible. In fact, this is just a random rhetoric she made up. Of course, there is some truth in it. Otherwise, how can she talk to Tao Shen?

Now Lu Zhong and the others are all focusing on Tao Ce, maybe they don't care about Gu Yunjing's unresponsiveness after drinking.

If she came forward to testify for Tao Ce at this time, Lu Zhong would definitely hold her tight. If she took advantage of the opportunity to find out any clues about her daughter's identity, the mansion of Zhenyuan Hou Mansion would collapse.

Tao Shen felt that what Gu Yunjing said was polite, so he gave up on this idea.The matter was almost discussed, and thinking of going to the Qintian Supervisor, he said goodbye to the princess son-in-law and left in a hurry.

Seeing that Xiao Muxue's face looked a little better than before, Gu Yunjing said softly, with a tone of begging for mercy: "Your Highness the Princess."

"What's the matter?" Xiao Muxue took a cup of tea, drank it lightly, and replied indifferently without her gaze falling on Gu Yunjing.

Although Xiao Muxue didn't look at her, she was able to take care of herself, which already made Gu Yunjing happy enough.

The young man raised his eyebrows, sweeping away his disappointment and frustration: "Your Highness, if you want to go to Wangyou Valley, we'd better leave as soon as possible. Tao Ce's matter may change later, we'd better find the evidence sooner."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Muxue said suddenly: "I'm afraid the son-in-law wants to see the woman he's longing for as soon as possible."

Gu Yunjing's eyes flickered suddenly, and then she narrowed her eyes. Is the princess jealous?The son-in-law is good at strategy, but in the world, he is just a stunned young man who has not yet made his debut.She couldn't guess Xiao Muxue's thoughts in the carriage, but she could always understand what the other party said so bluntly.

The son-in-law's heart felt hot, his blood was surging, and he was full of pride.I especially want to go to Xiao Muxue and say loudly to her: "Your Highness, you are the one I miss day and night."

Seeing you for the first time on the wedding night in the bridal chamber, my heart has already secretly agreed.

But the reality finally defeated Gu Yunjing, and the ruthless reality made her unable to move a step forward. She is a woman, and she is destined not to bring happiness to the princess.

For the first time, Gu Yunjing felt at a loss what to do with herself, with this unrequited love.She can use her tricks so well that she can save many people, but in the end she can't save her own feelings.

Gu Yunjing clenched his fists, and the words powerless were written all over his face.She loves the princess, but this is just an impossible feeling, destined to be buried in her heart.

In fact, when Gu Yunjing first had a crush on Xiao Muxue, she was taken aback by her own thoughts.She and Xiao Muxue are both women, how can I like each other?

Gu Yunjing is not surprised by this, what she is surprised is how this happened to her.She has read all the poems and books, and naturally she has seen allusions about splitting peaches and breaking sleeves from the books. The ancients are elegant, and even regard same-sex love as a fashion.

She can understand this, but it doesn't mean that Xiao Muxue can also understand?Gu Yunjing has lived for eighteen years, and has never reacted to a woman. Her heartbeat is only for Xiao Muxue.

Gu Yunjing didn't think it was wrong to like Xiao Muxue, she just felt very depressed, because the sixth princess didn't like women at all, as you can see from the epic love between her and Han Jun in the past.

The flow of water does not compete with the heart, and the cloud cares too late.This is the life that Gu Yunjing has always yearned for the most. She originally thought that she could be in Taoyuan and spend her whole life with poetry and books as companions.It's a pity that from the moment she fell in love with Xiao Muxue, she knew that her whole life might be tossed around in this unrequited relationship.
