Chapter 140 I am guilty, I am ashamed, please forgive me

In the restaurant.

"When did you come?" Su Lu pushed the door open and saw the people in the room.

The other person turned around and looked at Su Lu: "You seem to be living a very comfortable life. Have you forgotten something?"

"I haven't forgotten."

Su Lu felt annoyed when this was mentioned. She had no chance to get close to Gu Qingheng at all. Was it her fault?

"Can you be smarter and use some beauty tricks or other methods?" The man sat opposite her and gave her advice.

"That's easy for you to say. I can't even get close to him, so how can I use those methods?"

Su Lu was a little impatient. It was painful for her waist to talk while standing.

"How dare you talk to me like that!" The man pinched Su Lu's chin, a cold look flashing in his eyes:

"Su Lu, what's the point of talking about you?"

"You are not as beautiful as Zhao Mingzhu, nor as lovable as her. Now I have had your appearance changed. Even if you have benefited from Zhao Mingzhu, you still can't win Gu Qingheng's heart."

Su Lu was furious when she heard this. What she hated most was someone saying that she was not as good as Zhao Mingzhu!

But the other party's next words shocked her.

"Su Lu, I thought people would become smarter after being reborn, but why is there no progress at all with you?"

Seeing the disgust in her eyes, Su Lu struggled to pry her hands apart: "You...how did you know?"

Only Gu Qingheng knew about this matter, and she was not surprised by his extraordinary intelligence.

But why can the person in front of me also notice it?

"Humph, you're so stupid, anyone with a little bit of brains can see that."

Su Lu remained silent until she heard the other person ask, "Did Gu Xun die in your previous life?"

“Not dead.”

"He's not dead? That shouldn't be the case."

Gu Yan touched her chin and asked, "Could it be that my prince brother is really a gentleman?"

When the word "gentleman" was mentioned, Gu Yan was a little sarcastic. That would be a huge joke.

Gu Yan looked at Su Lu's panicked expression, as if she remembered something, and she became even more curious.

"Why, is he living a life worse than death?" She raised her eyebrows and asked with great interest.

"He was turned into a human pig."

Su Lu seemed to recall Gu Xun's heart-wrenching screams after his hands and feet were cut off.

"Is that so? This is Gu Qingheng's style." Gu Yan clapped her hands. She looked like a normal person, but she had actually gone crazy.

Su Lu suddenly felt that the person in front of her was probably just as cruel as Gu Qingheng.

Prince Jing is her brother from the same mother.

When Gu Yan heard that her own brother had been turned into a human pig, she felt nothing at all, and could even speak as calmly as if she were talking about someone else.

Su Lu felt a chill down his spine, and suddenly felt like he was courting disaster.

Gu Yan didn't ask any further questions, nor did she ask about herself. She liked the excitement of the unknown.

"Okay, I came here this time to tell you some good news." Gu Yan picked up the orange and peeled it, she said:

"In a few days, the Queen Mother will hold a banquet for my brother and choose a wife for him."

"Hey, where have you been?" Shuangyun searched the East Palace for two rounds before finding her, and was exhausted and out of breath.

It's strange. I didn't see her in the house when I came here just now. How come she suddenly appears again?

Su Lu sat on the bed and suddenly came back to her senses. Seeing the double clouds, a fake smile appeared on her face:

"Sister Shuangyun, are you thirsty?" She stood up again, poured a cup of tea, and quietly put the poison in it.

Only then did I feel a little relieved.

Shuangyun took the teacup and looked at the full cup of tea. She was indeed a little thirsty. Seeing the smile on the other person's face, she suddenly thought that maybe the person in front of her was not that bad?

She was wrong. Maybe she just hadn't thought it through, which was why she was so obsessed with climbing into bed.

Shuangyun took a sip and said shyly, "Thank you."

She thought for a moment, then said, "The Crown Princess hasn't woken up yet. You should behave yourself in the future. This courtyard is not intolerant of you."

Su Lu looked at the empty cup of tea and was worried about how to respond to the other party.

"I will definitely keep Sister Shuangyun's words in mind."

"In that case, then you should go to the Crown Princess and learn how to serve her. Don't be lazy, I'll keep an eye on you."

Shuangyun thought, just give her one chance. If she doesn’t cherish it, she will not be polite!

At this time, Jinzhu passed by and said, "Shuangyun, the Crown Princess has woken up."

"I'm coming."

Shuangyun pulled Su Lu and hurried to catch up, telling her about Zhao Mingzhu's likes and dislikes along the way.

"The Crown Princess is kind and easy to get along with. If you behave yourself, she won't make things difficult for you."

Before Shuangyun went in, he turned back and emphasized that she should behave herself.

"Your servants greet the Crown Princess." Shuangyun pulled Su Lu to salute.

Zhao Mingzhu sat in front of the bronze mirror, looked at Shuangyun and smiled, "Well, why are you here together?"

Shuangyun leaned close to her ear and told her what she was thinking. After hearing that, Zhao Mingzhu turned her eyes to Yinfeng.

"You would rather be a maid in the East Palace than take the money and the house deed and leave?"

After hearing this, Su Lu stepped forward and said softly, "My dear Crown Princess, I am alone and willing to serve you forever."

Zhao Mingzhu looked at her and thought that it was rare to find someone who loved work so much.

At this time, Qiao'er came in and said, "Crown Princess, someone from the palace came and said that the Empress Dowager is hosting a banquet the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Mingzhu heard about finding a princess for Gu Xun and asked, "Have you heard who the Queen Mother has her eyes on?"

Qiao'er nodded: "I asked casually, and I heard it was Miss Lei."

Lei Ruoshui? Her name instantly popped into Zhao Mingzhu's mind.

That girl is so unlucky.

Zhao Mingzhu originally wanted to claim illness and not attend the banquet, but when she heard that it was Lei Ruoshui, she frowned.

I heard that on the day she faked her death, Lei Ruoshui also made great efforts to find her.

She is not a bad person.

"Qiao'er, is the carriage ready outside?"

She wanted to see An Yun first.

Qiao'er answered crisply, "We're ready. We've been waiting outside for a long time."

In the Grand Tutor's Mansion, An Yun was waiting at the door early. When she saw the carriage from the Eastern Palace, she waved her handkerchief excitedly.

She hurried down the steps and walked to the carriage: "Mingzhu, you are finally here!"

When Zhao Mingzhu stepped out of the carriage, An Yun extended her hand and said flatteringly, "This old servant is here to help you."

She pinched her throat, bent over and placed Zhao Mingzhu's hand on the back of her own.

"Alright, Xiao Anzi, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you seem to be getting better and better."

Zhao Mingzhu was not polite either. He took her arm with peace of mind and walked into the Grand Tutor's Mansion.

In the corridor opposite, Grand Tutor An was practicing sword dancing. When he saw the two of them like this, he turned away, trying not to be bothered.

"My Lady, please be careful with your steps. My father is ignorant of the rules and is not polite. Please do not blame me."

An Yun seated the people in front of the eight-immortals table, and then went to serve tea and water.

Seeing this, Zhao Mingzhu said, "Alright, have you done anything wrong?"

Otherwise, how could I please her like this?

An Yun turned her head and said, as if mourning, "Mingzhu, I am guilty. I am ashamed. I beg for forgiveness."

Then she briefly explained the reason why Gu Qingheng realized that she had faked her death, and how it might have been leaked from her.

Zhao Mingzhu's smile froze after hearing this: "Are you saying that I was arrested because of you?"

An Yun was frightened by her changed expression and whispered:

"It should be me. He came to test me. Although I didn't say anything, Gu Yu said that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very meticulous and must have discovered something."

Zhao Mingzhu lowered her head. An Yun looked at her, holding the teacup tightly and not letting go, and said sadly:

"Don't be angry, as long as I can atone for my sins, I will agree to any request you make!"

She was really afraid that Zhao Mingzhu would think she was stupid and immediately break up with her and never be friends with her again.
