"You met Prince Duan today, and you also met me. Be sure not to let Prince Kang know.
If King Kang asked you, you would know how to answer.
The old emperor reminded Gu Yunsheng.
"Yes, I understand."
Gu Yunsheng was sent back to the alley near Prince Kang's Mansion by the old emperor's men.
At this time, the sky was gradually getting dark.
Gu Yunsheng returned through the back door of Prince Kang's Mansion wearing a veil.
After she returned to the courtyard where she lived, she asked the maid to bring her pen, ink, paper and inkstone. After writing on the rice paper, she handed the letter to the maid.
"Send it to the princess at Qingzhu Courtyard, and don't let anyone else find out."
The maid agreed and left.
Gu Yunsheng stood up and rubbed his neck, which had been stabbed twice, frowning in pain.
What a coincidence, the two men in black hit the same place with their knives.
Gu Yunsheng found some ointment and applied it on herself in front of the bronze mirror. She changed her clothes and sat down drinking tea while waiting for the maid to come back.
Fortunately, the maid came back after a while.
Conveyed Ye Peizhu's words.
"Miss Gu, the princess said that dinner will be served soon. Please come over and have dinner with everyone. We can talk about anything after dinner."
"Well, let's go."
Gu Yunsheng went to Qingzhu Courtyard accompanied by her maid.
She originally thought that all six young masters of Prince Kang's Mansion were there, but it turned out that none of them were there.
The only people waiting for her were Prince Kang and his wife and Prince Kang's legitimate daughter, who was looking at her cleverly with her big grape-shaped eyes.
Gu Yunsheng bowed.
"Miss Gu, there's no need to be so polite. Come and sit down. Dinner will be served soon.
Mu Bai and the others will be back late tonight, so they can't dine with us, so the four of us can just eat first."
Ye Peizhu smiled and waved her hand, speaking in a gentle voice.
Gu Yunsheng nodded, "Yes."
Prince Kang and Ye Peizhu did not speak again, and Gu Yunsheng did not say anything either.
Fortunately, the silence didn't last long, and servants came in one after another carrying dishes.
Song Jiujiu will be one year old next month, and she can eat a little more now.
Although she couldn't hold and chew the big chicken leg she had been longing for, she could tear off some meat for her to eat.
King Kang let his wife eat while he personally served his little daughter.
“Again!”
Song Jiujiu pointed at the big chicken leg.
[What's 'youyou'? It's 'rourou'! When will my mouth finally be able to articulate clearly? I'm almost embarrassed just listening to myself.]
Song Jiujiu blushed and complained about herself in her heart.
King Kang was touched by the cuteness of his little girl. He picked up a big chicken leg and scraped off the meat, then handed the chicken leg bone with some meat on it to his little girl.
"Jiu'er, come and eat the big chicken drumstick."
A chicken leg bone was stuffed into Song Jiujiu's little hand.
“…”
[My dad raised me like a puppy? Only puppies chew on bones! I don't chew on bones!]
Song Jiujiu resolutely put the chicken leg bone back into the bowl, her little cheeks puffed up with anger.
"Jiu'er, don't you want to eat a big chicken drumstick? Don't look at it as a chicken drumstick bone, there is still meat on it. Besides, you have little baby teeth, so chewing on the chicken drumstick bone can also help you grind your teeth. How great! Come on, take it, don't be polite to Daddy."
King Kang stuffed the chicken leg bone into the little kid's hand again.
Song Jiujiu hesitated for a moment and looked at her mother, "Mom."
"Jiu'er, be good and chew on the chicken leg bones to sharpen your baby teeth."
[Okay, since my mother said so, I'll just give it a try.]
Song Jiujiu started gnawing on the bone, and King Kang's smile froze on his face.
Then he reached out and touched the little girl's chubby face with a wronged look.
"Jiu'er, you treat them differently. You listen to everything your mother says, but you don't listen to anything your father says.
Daddy is sad, and he needs Jiuer to comfort him. "
Song Jiujiu, who had tasted a hint of fragrance from gnawing on the chicken leg bone, gave her father a look that told him to figure it out for himself.
Then he continued to gnaw on the bone with relish, swinging his short legs.
King Kang: “…”
Gu Yunsheng, who was sitting across the table, looked at the happy family of three with envy in her eyes.
She once had such an ordinary yet enviable daily life...
Sadly, they’re all gone.
After the meal, the maid brought mouthwash tea for everyone to rinse their mouths, and then King Kang spoke.
"Miss Gu, what do you want to tell us?
Don't worry, Prince Kang's mansion is very safe and there are no spies here.
There are secret guards around, so you can speak without worry."
Gu Yunsheng nodded, "If that's the case, then I'll tell you.
Today, I was actually taken away by Prince Duan and the Emperor's men.
There were people planted by the Emperor in Prince Duan's mansion. Almost as soon as Prince Duan finished talking to me and left, the Emperor's people came and knocked me unconscious and took me to the palace."
Gu Yunsheng's simple two sentences made King Kang and Ye Peizhu feel a little nervous.
Their intuition told them that what Gu Yunsheng wanted to say was not an ordinary matter, otherwise she would not have been so cautious as to write a note and have someone send it to them first.
After eating and drinking her fill, Song Jiujiu opened her big grape-like eyes curiously, waiting for Gu Yunsheng's next words.
"Miss Gu, what did Prince Duan tell you?"
Ye Peizhu asked as calmly as possible.
Gu Yunsheng had a mocking look on her face as she repeated exactly what Prince Duan had said to her.
"My Lord and Princess, Prince Duan wants to get rid of not only you, but also the Emperor.
When the people planted by the emperor in Prince Duan's mansion learned about this, they took the girl to the imperial study in the palace.
