Chapter 589 Relationship with Sister-in-Law

Princess Chuxia's unforgiving attitude truly put the monk in a difficult position.

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to do something practical for you, but your request is a bit too much."

By the end, the monk's expression had turned pleading; he was even wondering why he had such a difficult master to serve.

Seeing that things were a bit strange, Gu Shuyan couldn't help but step forward and ask, "I wonder who the person the Prince Consort wants to resonate with is?"

Coming to the main hall where spirits are enshrined and making things difficult for the monks—only a princess from a foreign land would do something like that.

Princess Chuxia still had to give Gu Shuyan some face. Seeing that Gu Shuyan had asked her, Princess Chuxia did not hide anything. "Yesterday, I saw that the Prince had placed the memorial tablet of the Dowager Consort in a remote courtyard at home. I thought that such a place was naturally not as good as a temple, so today I brought the memorial tablet to the temple."

Princess Chuxia spoke of this with great enthusiasm, clearly pleased with her actions.

"May I see the memorial tablet of the Dowager Consort?"

After hearing Princess Chuxia's words, Gu Shuyan felt a strange sensation rise in her heart for some reason.

Lu Hexuan's birth mother was originally only a concubine. The late emperor had many sons, but Lu Hexuan was the youngest. Therefore, the late emperor regarded both Lu Hexuan and his birth mother as extremely good.

If Gu Shuyan's previous reading was correct, Lu Hexuan's birth mother had already passed away before the late emperor's death.

Because she was a concubine of the late emperor and gave birth to a prince, after the late emperor's death, the tomb of Lu Hexuan's birth mother was moved to the imperial mausoleum and enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple.

Even if Lu Hexuan missed his mother, a concubine enshrined in the Imperial Ancestral Temple, he wouldn't secretly make offerings to her spirit in the courtyard of his mansion.

Gu Shuyan's idea was confirmed by the memorial tablet handed over by Princess Chuxia. Sure enough, the person enshrined on that memorial tablet was not Lu Hexuan's birth mother, but another woman—Consort Yun!

"Princess Consort Xian, did anyone see you bring out the memorial tablet?"

When Gu Shuyan saw the memorial tablet, her first thought was not why Lu Hexuan was keeping Yunfei's memorial tablet, but that this memorial tablet must never be seen by anyone.

"No, I was just trying to give Hexuan a surprise, so no one knew except for the two of us, master and servant."

Princess Chuxia looked at Gu Shuyan's expression and for some reason became a little nervous, and her answers became more sincere than before.

Seeing that Princess Chuxia did not seem to be lying, Gu Shuyan quickly gave a signal to Pearl Fattening, and the two maids immediately led the monk and everyone in the shop away.

"Miss Gu?"

This was the first time Princess Chuxia had changed her name back to Miss Gu after Gu Shuyan clarified things.

Although she didn't know why Gu Shuyan's expression had become serious, Princess Chuxia knew it must be related to the memorial tablet she had brought with her.

"Does the princess know who is enshrined on the memorial tablet?"

Gu Shuyan immediately asked Princess Chuxia, who was taken aback and blinked before saying, "Isn't this He Xuan's mother?"

Princess Chuxia was truly astounded by the idea of ​​Lu Hexuan's mother. Every biography of Consort Yun from the Great Zhou Dynasty mentions her; do princesses who get married not read historical records?

"This is Consort Yun, one of His Majesty's four consorts."

Although Yunfei has been dead for many years, the position of Consort Yun is still reserved among the emperor's concubines.

"His Majesty's concubines?"

Now it was Princess Chuxia's turn to be dumbfounded. Her husband had set up a memorial tablet in the backyard with the words "Consort Yun" written on it.

He thought this was a memorial to his deceased mother for his husband's position, but he never imagined it was actually his brother's woman, his sister-in-law!

"No wonder, no wonder he hasn't had a woman by his side all these years. In this huge palace, I'm the only woman. It's all for this reason."

Princess Chuxia felt like she was going crazy. Why did she have to let him know such a terrible truth?

No wonder Lu Hexuan avoided him like the plague, no wonder she chased him from Wei to Da Zhou, and he even refused to attend the emperor's banquet in order to hide his identity, no wonder he seemed so unwilling to marry her on the day of the wedding.

It turns out that he had someone he liked from the very beginning, and that person was actually his sister-in-law.

Princess Chuxia grew angrier the more she thought about it. A surge of jealousy welled up inside her. Looking at the memorial tablet in Gu Shuyan's hand, Princess Chuxia stepped forward, raised it, and was about to smash it on the ground.

Fortunately, Gu Shuyan realized her intention and took the memorial tablet first.

"Your Highness, please don't get agitated. Let me finish speaking."

Gu Shuyan tried to interrupt Princess Chuxia, but Princess Chuxia wouldn't listen to her at this moment. Seeing that Gu Shuyan was also going against her, Princess Chuxia tried to snatch it. However, after several attempts, she failed to grab the memorial tablet and accidentally stepped on her skirt and fell to the ground.

Thinking that she had chased her husband thousands of miles to this Great Zhou, and that she had married far away, she couldn't help but wonder if her husband still had another woman in his heart.

Princess Chuxia, feeling wronged, sat on the ground and started crying. As a princess who had been pampered since childhood, once she started crying, it was endless.

If there weren't other people around, Gu Shuyan would have suspected that she would be accused of bullying a princess who had been married off to a distant land.

"Your Highness, please don't cry!"

Although Gu Shuyan is not a man, it doesn't mean she can just stand by and watch others cry without doing anything.

Princess Chuxia seemed not to have heard Gu Shuyan's words, and Gu Shuyan rubbed her forehead in response!

What a mess! She just wanted to see her son and ask him to bless her husband from heaven.

But before she could even see her son, she had to deal with Lu Hexuan's family affairs.

"Your Highness, I think you've misunderstood."

Although Gu Shuyan and Princess Chuxia had a falling out, that was all in the past. It was thanks to Gu Shuyan that Princess Chuxia was reminded that Lu Hexuan was the person she was looking for.

"Misunderstanding? What misunderstanding? The evidence is right in front of me, how could I not believe it?"

Princess Chuxia was truly heartbroken this time, to the point that when she was being aggressive, she didn't act as aggressively as before.

Sure enough, she's still a delicate young girl. Even if she's usually willful, she'll still show her childlike side when she meets someone she likes.

Shaking her head, Gu Shuyan leaned closer to her and said, "Consort Yun passed away more than twenty years ago. At that time, Prince Xian was only three or four years old. What relationship do you think Prince Xian and Consort Yun could have?"

"Huh?" Princess Chuxia couldn't believe her ears. What did Gu Shuyan say? Consort Yun had been dead for over twenty years.

So it seems that Lu Hexuan really can't have any relationship with the other party, but why does Lu Hexuan keep Yunfei's memorial tablet?

Princess Chuxia stopped crying instantly and looked at Gu Shuyan, but Gu Shuyan couldn't understand what Princess Chuxia couldn't understand either.
