Chapter 85 If I Have Another Woman

"What did you say?" The Queen Mother frowned.

The maid placed the shawl on her knees. "Yes, Queen Mother. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also stayed."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother didn't know what to say. Her grandson had left, so why did he come back?

The most important thing is that Xie Wan has been sent to the Eastern Palace.

"Forget it, it's better to be in the palace. Are you afraid that nothing will be accomplished under my watchful eyes?"

The Queen Mother yawned and took off her armor: "Send someone to call Wan'er back, and come directly to me."

The nanny responded in a low voice, and when she fell asleep, she quietly bent down and left, only to see Shuangyun dozing off.

She reached out and grabbed Shuangyun's cheek, pulling him out.

"Hey, aunt..." Shuangyun followed her out with a grin, and the palace maids around her were not surprised.

"You're itching for something, aren't you? You're dozing off right in front of the Queen Mother. You don't want your head anymore!"

Shuangyun pouted after hearing this: "I didn't fall asleep, really."

I have been thinking about returning to the East Palace for many days.

The maid glared at her and said, "Be careful! If you fail in this important matter, and the Empress Dowager catches you and gets angry and punishes you, I won't be able to protect you."

"What's the matter, aunt?" Shuangyun asked closer.

The nanny took out some silver peanuts and stuffed them into her mouth: "It's none of your business, stop asking."

Regarding this child, the nanny sighed, "You too, have learned all the skills I taught you. I was hoping you could escape this deep palace by becoming a master, but you ended up back here."

Shuangyun bit the silver peanut and curled her lips. It was none of her business. She was harmed and plotted against by someone!

She is only one step away from being the Crown Princess’ teacher!

It was late at night and quiet. Zhao Mingzhu tossed and turned. She changed her bed but couldn't fall asleep.

More importantly, she and Gu Qingheng were only separated by a quilt.

"The Crown Princess can't sleep?"

Gu Qingheng's voice tone became much deeper, but the underlying tone remained as strong as the sound of jade being struck.

Zhao Mingzhu leaned against the wall and whispered, "A little."

Even in the pitch darkness, Gu Qingheng's vision was still clear. He saw Zhao Mingzhu holding the gauze curtain with her hands.

"The Crown Princess wants to have a conversation with me?"

Zhao Mingzhu thought she was free anyway, so she nodded and said, "Okay."

A smile flashed across Gu Qingheng's phoenix eyes. He only heard him ask, "How did the Crown Princess know that I don't like sweets?"

Zhao Mingzhu stopped picking up something with her hands. Well, this question gave her a big shock.

Gu Qingheng had already discovered that she had discovered that he didn't like sweets?!

She thought she had done it calmly and thoroughly...

Zhao Mingzhu thought quickly, then said, "On the day of my return, my father asked me to scoop soup for His Highness, but I saw that His Highness didn't take much."

Gu Qingheng looked at the nervousness on Zhao Mingzhu's face and pretended not to see it.

"Well, the Crown Princess can ask me now."

Seeing that Gu Qingheng didn't ask any more questions, Zhao Mingzhu relaxed and cleared her throat:

"Your Highness, this question may be a bit presumptuous."

"you say."

Zhao Mingzhu adjusted her words and then said awkwardly, "Can you capture Wuyun and Juzi and castrate them?"

Gu Qingheng thought she would ask questions like why he came back today, or about Xie Wan.

…

He sneered. Zhao Mingzhu didn't pay any attention to him at all.

Zhao Mingzhu didn't hear the other party's response for a long time, and she thought she had embarrassed the other person.

So he sighed and said, "Then I'll send it over. Go ahead and hate me if you hate me."

She had seen many videos before that showed that it was best to act out a scene before sending a cat or dog for sterilization.

Gu Qingheng saw the genuine worry in her eyes and sighed inwardly. It was her own choice, so he had no choice but to accept it.

"I will send it to you when I get there."

"That's great, Your Highness. Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Mingzhu responded immediately.

After a round of Q&A, Gu Qingheng didn't ask any more questions. Zhao Mingzhu finally got used to it and closed her eyes to prepare for sleep.

"Crown Princess, if I had another woman, would you be even slightly sad?"

Zhao Mingzhu heard it clearly, she yawned and shook her head:

"No, Gu Yu can have many concubines, and you can also have many concubines. There is nothing to be sad about."

She knew from the moment she traveled through time that in this era of male supremacy, she could not control any man's backyard.

She also doesn't do things that are beyond her ability.

The night wind blew by, and Gu Qingheng looked clear-headed and expressionless.

He thought that if Zhao Mingzhu fell in love with another man first, he would dismember her into pieces, and even cutting her into pieces would not be enough to vent his anger.

The sky gradually brightened. Zhao Mingzhu was dressing up. Shuangyun approached and said, "This servant greets the Crown Princess."

Zhao Mingzhu saw her teasing: “Master Shuangyun, you are worthy of it. You are like a fish in water in the palace.”

Shuangyun felt embarrassed after hearing this: "Princess, please don't bother me. The Queen Mother invites you."

Zhao Mingzhu was surprised after hearing this: "Grandmother is up so early?"

"OK."

Zhao Mingzhu took a last look at her hair in the bronze mirror and followed Shuangyun away. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and asked each other some small talk.

I met Changhe on the way and took him away.

As they passed through the corridor, a snow-white parrot saw them and flapped its wings, "Hail, Queen Mother! Hail, Queen Mother!"

Shuangyun saw it and said considerately, "This is the parrot sent by Princess Jingning."

Zhao Mingzhu sighed when she saw this. If only she had known that the other person was more likable than the three of them, she would have never bothered to think of a gift to give to the empress dowager in all this time.

This parrot can speak human language, Gu Yan must have put a lot of thought into it.

Shuangyun walked extremely slowly, and Zhao Mingzhu pretended not to know that she was deliberately trying to lead him away.

Xie Wan must have gone there by now.

Study.

Xie Wan walked in with the ginseng soup. All the palace servants around were sent away. She mustered up her courage and walked towards the figure.

"Your Highness..."

Seeing Gu Qingheng behind the desk, Xie Wan walked closer and whispered, "Your Highness, this is the ginseng soup I made myself."

Gu Qingheng didn't raise his head: "Get out."

Xie Wan didn't expect that Gu Qingheng, who looked like an immortal in the portrait, would be so unkind.

She was a little hesitant, but remembering her family and the Queen Mother's instructions, she brought the ginseng soup to Gu Qingheng:

"Your Highness, I...cannot make the decision. Please do me the favor."

Gu Qingheng finally raised his eyes, but his phoenix eyes were tinged with frost:

"Then you should leave immediately and tell the Queen Mother that I have drawn my sword and shut you out. There's no one around to see the truth anyway. What do you think, Miss Xie?"

Xie Wan was stunned after hearing this. She bit her lip and said, "Since Your Highness knows this, why are you unwilling to accept me... I only ask Your Highness to give me a place to stay, nothing else."

Gu Qingheng stopped talking. She was from the empress dowager's mother's family. How could she be sent away just by being given a place to stay?

Xie Wan pretended to be confused, but he didn't bother to care.

Gu Qingheng picked up the ginseng soup and drank it all. Xie Wan was delighted to see this, but the next moment she saw him stand up and the white sandalwood fragrance gradually faded away.

Xie Wan hurriedly chased after him: "Your Highness, Your Highness, where are you going?"

She hurriedly reached out to pull Gu Qingheng's sleeve, but was interrupted by his cold gaze.

"Get lost."

Seeing that he was really leaving, Xie Wan felt ashamed and embarrassed, almost crying:

"There is a cassia bark in the ginseng soup. Your Highness, please leave now..."
