Chapter 187 The Royal Family is Very Cunning

"In that case, grandpa, you should stop bothering her." Although Gu Shuo felt a little regretful, fortunately the little girl had a home.

"That won't work. The little girl is very dear to me. I have to be on guard against her. I believe that one day the little girl will open her heart to me and acknowledge me as her great-grandfather." Old Gu is very persistent.

Seeing him like this, Gu Shuo didn't dare to tell him about the relationship between the little girl and the four of them. Now he didn't know that they were so entangled. If he knew, he would definitely make a big fuss.

"Grandpa is fine, so I'll leave first."

"where did you go?"

"busy."

"You must never go to Yuzhou, little brat." Old Gu warned.

Gu Shuo turned around and got into the car.

"Don't be perfunctory with me. If you go, grandpa will no longer recognize you as his grandson."

"knew."

Old Gu sighed as he watched the carriage driving away, thinking that the brat must not have taken his words to heart.

The imperial merchant may seem powerful, but in fact he is a hot potato. He cannot manage his own business as he wishes. In the future, the emperor will find a reason to bring him back to the Gu family and take over the Gu family business. The emperor can't let the successor of the Gu family be in charge of the imperial merchant.

General's Mansion

Ye Qianning returned to the general's mansion and went straight back to Yuehua Cottage. Liu and the eight concubines were also there. When they saw her come back, they all hurried to greet her.

"You made us worry so much last night." Liu's eyes were red.

"This is not good. Is Fourth Auntie awake?" Ye Qianning walked towards the bed.

"I woke up just before dawn and drank half a bowl of porridge."

"Look, Fatty, Fourth Granny looks much better than yesterday. This is what good fortune brings. Don't worry, she will definitely get better."

Ye Qianning held Fourth Grandma's hand. The temperature of her palm was the same as that of an ordinary person, and her pulse was stable.

"Fatty, where did you go yesterday?" Mudan asked.

"I went to the Prime Minister's Residence and was later taken to the palace. I had some midnight snack in the palace. My father had to attend the morning court at dawn, so he asked the eunuch to take me back home." Ye Qianning didn't want them who were living in the backyard to know too much.

They can't keep much in their hearts, and they get anxious and angry easily when they know more.

"Have you entered the palace? What's it like in the palace? Is it gorgeous?" Shaoyao's eyes lit up.

"It was late at night when I went there. The palace was completely dark and I didn't see anything."

"Have you seen the emperor? I heard he's very majestic."

"He looks quite kind." Ye Qianning thought of Emperor Beili. He looked elegant, but the short distance between his eyebrows gave him a fierce look.

Generally, such people are deep-minded and extremely cunning.

Even when she saw him for the first time, she was almost deceived by his appearance. It was the most tiring to get along with such a person. If he was distracted for a moment, he would get hurt.

"kind?"

"Well, aunt, I haven't slept all night and I'm a little sleepy." Ye Qianning yawned.

"Oh, oh, oh, I forgot you stayed up all night. Go back to your room and sleep. We'll help you look after Fourth Wife."

"No, I'll just sleep on the couch. When Fourth Granny wakes up, she'll be able to see me."

"Okay, I'll ask someone to bring a blanket. Be careful not to catch a cold." Liu said.

Ye Qianning nodded and took a short rest in the carriage. Now her head was very dizzy and her eyes were sore and difficult to open. As a child, her energy had reached its limit and she could hardly hold on.

Not long after Ye Qianning lay down, the front yard became lively.

Xiang Mingli waited at the palace gate late into the night but Xiang Minghou did not come out of the palace. He then turned around and went to spend the night in the red-light district. In the early morning, he heard discussions and after asking around, he found out that everyone on the streets was discussing the miserable situation in the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He was a little skeptical and ran to the Prime Minister's Mansion to see for himself. He was so frightened that his face turned pale and he ran home in a hurry.
