Gu Yinghuai raised his beautiful eyebrows and looked at Lin Qingshan with a very funny look.
"You want me to confront Xu Qingyi head-on? Are you kidding me?"
"Who do you think could possibly take advantage of this man? Even if he were to set up a scheme right in front of you, he'd have anticipated that you wouldn't be able to expose him."
"Let's take a step back and say, even if we really expose him, how many people will believe you?"
"If the Emperor and the Empress Dowager don't believe it, then no one else will believe it. Do you understand?"
These words left Chu Zhiyao and Lin Qingshan silent.
That’s right. Even if the three of them put their words together, they might not be as convincing as Xu Qingyi.
For so long, Xu Qingyi has always made his wishes come true. If he says it will be cloudy today, he will definitely not postpone it to tomorrow. If he says there will be a disaster in the palace, there will definitely be strong winds and fires.
It was so weird that they all suspected that this person was not an ordinary person at all.
"Since the arm can't twist the thigh, then just go around it. What difference does it make between Gu Miao and Lin Song anyway?"
"If he's alive, he won't cause us any harm. If he's dead, it has nothing to do with us."
Outside, the sky was bright and the moon was shining. Lin Qingshan let out a breath and said with ease.
"But it doesn't matter. Lin Song should have seen it by now."
His face was gloomy, and after a while he slowly smiled.
"The corpse of the person he loved most."
…
Lin Song learned about this, and the news of An Yi's death soon reached Gu Qingsheng's ears.
She was practicing calligraphy at the time. After hearing Bai Lu's tearful report, the brush in her hand suddenly split into two and drew a large area of ink.
She stayed in that position for a very long time, her hands slowly began to tremble, her breathing became rapid, and her eyes became bloodshot.
After two bean-sized tears suddenly fell from his eyes, Gu Qingsheng threw the brush in his hand, and a lot of ink splashed out.
Even though they tried so hard to think of how to rescue Lin Song, they still couldn't avoid it.
First it was Lanlan.
It's Suhuai again.
Now even Anyi...
I wanted to stop my tears, but the more I wiped them, the more they fell.
Bai Lu looked worried, and although she was crying too, she slowly stepped forward and patted Gu Qingsheng on the back.
"Princess, Princess, it's okay..."
"Princess, you need to... you need to be more open-minded. The Queen Mother is doing this for your own good..."
"Besides, Miss Anyi committed suicide by jumping into the river. At that time, she must have..."
"Stop talking..."
Gu Qingsheng almost gritted his teeth as he said these three words, veins popping out on his body.
She used all her strength, but she didn't know where to vent it. She could only grit her teeth and tears fell down.
"Why! Why didn't anyone tell me about this? Such a big thing! She even had a funeral! I didn't even get to see her one last time!"
"Your servant... Your servant..."
Seeing Qingsheng like this, Bailu's tears flowed even harder.
"I just learned about it and went to ask around. I don't tell the princess. It seems it was the prince's order!"
"The prince's order..."
Her heart sank as she finally realized how strict the Queen Mother's control over her was this time.
But……
"If I can't even hear this kind of news, then what's the point of being a princess?"
She once thought about climbing to a higher position just to be able to protect the person most important to her.
Now important people have died one after another, and she is left holding on to this useless title of princess.
What are you doing?
What are you doing?
With a heavy blow in his heart, Gu Qingsheng wiped his eyes with his sleeves, making his eye sockets red, then pushed open the door and walked out.
Bai Lu knew Gu Qingsheng very well and immediately guessed what Gu Qingsheng was going to do and immediately stepped forward to stop her.
"Princess! This is not okay! Princess!"
"Don't ever call me princess again!"
Her pace was so fast that Bai Lu couldn't even keep up, and she grabbed the corner of Gu Qingsheng's clothes.
"Princess, you can't, you can't do this, Princess..."
“Don’t stop me!!”
Along the way, Bai Lu wanted to block Gu Qingsheng's way, but he was stepped over again and again and she couldn't stop him.
The road was muddy after the rain.
In the garden, some winter plums have already bloomed.
Prince Duan rarely accompanies Lin, and now that he has a day off, it is quite enjoyable for the two of them to appreciate the flowers.
Lin's cheeks were rosy, and tenderness flowed in her eyes as she looked at Hongmei.
The colorful love lock on the chest is very dazzling, and the gems shine beautifully under the sunlight.
"Your Highness, since you are free today, would you like to come to my room tonight and try my latest cooking skills?"
Turning around and smiling gently at Prince Duan, Lin said.
Perhaps it was because the smile was too beautiful under the plum blossoms that Prince Duan agreed immediately.
"Okay, what new cuisine have you learned?"
"The bird's nest is good recently, so I tried stewing it myself. It is better than those girls'. If you don't mind, Your Highness can come and try it to see if my cooking skills have improved."
"You're pregnant, so it's fine to let a servant do this kind of thing. Why would I ask you to do it yourself?"
Prince Duan finished speaking and let Lin climb onto his arm with a smile on his face.
"I have nothing to do anyway, and I have always enjoyed fiddling with these things."
It was clearly a very peaceful scene, but I was awakened by the untimely footsteps.
He looked back in disapproval, and saw Gu Qingsheng coming over from outside the Plum Garden. Prince Duan's expression softened.
"Qing'er, why are you free today? It's cold outside, why don't you think of wearing more clothes..."
"Father!"
Gu Qingsheng arrived beside Prince Duan and said coldly, his eyes fell on the intertwined hands of Lin and Prince Duan, and he sneered.
"Father, I want to ask."
"This time, about the death of the woman from Huaixiang Pavilion, why... why didn't you let anyone tell me?"
Prince Duan was stunned. He then realized that Gu Qingsheng was here to ask for punishment. He couldn't help but get angry again.
"What do you mean? Are you here to question me?"
"The woman from Huaixiang Pavilion is dead, so what? Your father doesn't think it's necessary for you to know..."
"Father!"
He was interrupted by Gu Qingsheng before he could finish his words. Prince Duan then noticed that the little girl who was just learning to speak beside him had grown into such a young girl since he didn't know when.
The coldness in that gaze was so great that even Prince Duan couldn't help but shudder.
"Why don't I need to know?! If you really think I have nothing to do with them, you would naturally tell me this as news about Jin Chu!"
"It's because my father knows something that he doesn't dare to tell me! He thinks there's no need for me to know!"
