His heart was about to jump out of his throat. He suppressed his panic and lowered his head. The sedan chair left his side, bringing with it a breeze.
Lin was behind Gu Qingsheng, so naturally she also saw the god-like figure in the sedan chair. She was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses with a complicated look in her eyes.
She looked at Gu Qingsheng's lowered back. Ministers from all around came up to congratulate Prince Duan, and the scene was extremely lively.
Lin clenched Xun Huan's hand slightly, pursed her lips, and Xun Huan looked at her worriedly.
"princess……"
…
After entering the palace, there were already quite a few people sitting scattered around the Imperial Garden.
After stepping into the Imperial Garden, Gu Qingsheng saw Chu Zhiyao sitting at the head end.
The area around him was extremely cold, giving off an aura that kept strangers away. When he saw Gu Qingsheng coming, he glanced at him lightly without saying a word.
Suddenly a whistle was heard from a distance, and this sound made the noisy crowd stop for a moment.
Lei Man sat at the head of Chu Zhiyao. As a distinguished guest of Jinchu, he must have a seat at the palace banquet. But at this moment, he supported his face with his hands, looking at Gu Qingsheng with a smile, but there was a calculation hidden in his eyes.
"Long time no see, Princess."
His lake-blue eyes seemed to have magical power, and the young ladies from official families who were seated there were all dazed and looked shy.
This frivolous look made Prince Duan a little unhappy, but then he thought that the customs of the Western Regions have always been open, and it was no wonder that the prince behaved like this.
Moreover, after arriving in Jinchu, Lei Man was a guest. He was angry for a while but could not vent his anger because of the emperor's face.
Gu Qingsheng shook his head at Prince Duan, and the ministers' eyes became strange.
Leiman's words were very ambiguous. Chu Zhiyao laughed, rubbed the cup in his hand, and said thoughtfully:
"Princess Changle is quite well-versed in many fields. I heard that she had some friendship with the Imperial Master some time ago. This prince has only been in Jinchu for a few days and he has already made the acquaintance of the princess. This truly impresses me."
The two of them sang in unison, bringing up all of Gu Qingsheng's previous reputation in Jin and Chu.
The women were chatting and whispering, and the content was mostly as expected.
Prince Duan's face suddenly showed anger, but before he could speak, Gu Qingsheng said
"General, you can't say that."
"I do know Prince Leiman, but it was only a brief encounter. The Emperor can testify for me."
"General, you're targeting me right away. Could it be because of what happened some time ago..."
She hesitated to speak, looked at the people around her, and suddenly blushed, and then her eyes turned red.
"Could it be because some time ago... some time ago..."
When Gu Qingsheng started crying, Chu Zhiyao frowned. Prince Duan was also worried and looked at Chu Zhiyao with an inquiring look.
"What happened recently? Talk to your father. If there's any injustice, he will definitely seek justice for you."
Who could have imagined that there would be such a good show to watch as soon as Gu Qingsheng arrived? The ministers stopped drinking and talking, and looked at each other. The women all treated this as a piece of gossip and whispered from time to time.
Chu Zhiyao was very annoyed by the looks from all around him.
"How was it recently? Princess, you can speak directly if you have anything to say. I, Chu, have done nothing wrong, so I'm naturally not afraid of slander."
In return, Gu Qingsheng gave her a resentful look, as if she had suddenly made up her mind. She said to Bai Lu behind her:
"Since the general is so kind, Bailu, please take out the things."
Bai Lu lowered her eyebrows, pursed her lips, took out a letter from her bosom, and spoke with a tearful tone.
"Princess! You will also damage your reputation by doing this!"
"The general secretly sent you a love letter. Even though the princess had already rejected it, he still persisted in pestering you. Now he is angry and slandering the princess's reputation. It really makes the princess suffer!"
"I*."
This sudden acting skill didn't catch everyone's attention, but instead surprised Miao Lanlan first.
"You guys are acting like that? What evil plans did you have while I was sleeping? Tell the truth!"
"Just wait and see."
Gu Qingsheng smiled back at Miao Lanlan, then blushed and became angry. He grabbed his handkerchief and threw it at the letter.
The letter fell to the ground. The elegant handwriting on it looked recent and still had the scent of ink, which made the ministers stare blankly.
Chu Zhiyao's words "What nonsense are you talking about" were completely suppressed when he saw the content of the letter, and his face immediately turned the color of liver.
Every word in the letter was filled with lingering love and longing, and the sincerity was irresistible. The large general's seal at the end was very eye-catching.
So much so that everyone overlooked the fact that the woman's name was not signed on the letter.
However, because it was taken out by Gu Qingsheng, even if he discovered it, he would just automatically substitute it.
Chu Zhiyao is a lovesick character. In her previous life, she had set her heart on Chu Zhiyao and wanted to be with him. However, in order to take advantage of the palace, Chu Zhiyao did not show that he already had a lover, Bai Yueguang.
Later, when she married into the general's mansion and everything was beyond redemption, she learned about Luo Zhaozhao.
Before getting married, Chu Zhiyao would write a letter to Luo Zhaozhao every day, expressing some words of missing her. These letters were accidentally discovered by Gu Qingsheng in Chu Zhiyao's study, but he never told Chu Zhiyao.
She could even imagine the two of them leaning against each other under the apricot blossoms and drizzle that year.
Judging from the last time they went to the teahouse, the two of them should have had some clues. So they went to Chu Zhiyao's study to look for it, but they didn't expect to actually find something.
As for who this person who was looking for him knew...
Gu Qingsheng glanced at Lei Manzhen inconspicuously. The other party was also looking at her. He opened his folding fan to cover the corners of his smiling mouth and raised his eyebrows.
Chu Zhiyao, ah Chu Zhiyao, you thought that cooperating with Leiman to embarrass yourself in front of all these people would teach yourself a lesson, but you didn't expect it.
Your chess piece may have unknowingly reached someone else's city.
Maybe, I haven't thought about it.
Did I give you this opportunity to embarrass me?
When the people around saw the letter, they were stunned for a moment, then they gasped and looked at Chu Zhiyao with strange expressions.
Some time ago, Princess Changle shamelessly chased after the general, threatened Prince Duan for him, and even jumped into the river. This matter was widely spread, but now it seems that it was not the case.
Like swords, those gazes fell on Chu Zhiyao. Sweat seemed to drip from his head. His hands were clenched tightly, veins bulging on them, and his teeth were gritting.
Who is it...
Who on earth...moved the things in his study...
How could Gu Qingsheng have this thing? Who gave it to her? In her previous life, no one knew about this.
He felt his vision was blurry and the noisy voices of people around him were very irritating to his ears.
