"I don't care who she is."
Lei Man impatiently pushed Eunuch Li away and reached forward to open the door of the imperial study.
"emperor!"
"Prince! You can't go in there, Prince!"
No matter how Eunuch Li tried to stop him, he couldn't stop Lei Man.
The emperor in the imperial study rubbed his brows and raised his eyes, just in time to hear a sound at the door.
Gu Qingsheng's face turned pale as he was dragged along. The moment he saw the emperor, he looked for help.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
She shook off Leiman's hand and ran to hide behind the emperor. Her tone suddenly became more aggrieved.
"Your Majesty! Save Changle!"
Of course she was pretending to be like this.
When she arrived at the door of the imperial study, Gu Qingsheng had already planned everything that was going to happen. The reason why she did not reveal her identity in front of Eunuch Li was that she wanted the emperor to see this scene directly.
If what happened on the street is not reported to the emperor, Lei Man will become even more presumptuous.
Gu Qingsheng would hide behind the emperor. This behavior made Leiman frown, and he smiled with disapproval.
"Do you know each other?"
The emperor was already tired from reviewing memorials late at night. Seeing Lei Man dragging Gu Qingsheng in, he forced himself to be alert.
"When did the prince meet Changle? What's going on?"
"Changle?"
It was only after a while that Leiman remembered that this name seemed familiar. On the street, countless people's voices rushed into his ears, and his mind finally cleared up for a moment.
"Changle?! Princess Changle? You are Princess Changle?!"
Gu Qingsheng hid a little further behind the emperor to cover up the disgust on his face.
Unexpectedly, Leiman became even more excited after hearing the news. He lifted his robe, knelt on one knee, and performed the Jin-Chu salute to the emperor.
"Your Majesty! I would like to ask you to allow me to bring Princess Changle back to our Western Regions!"
Gu Qingsheng's heart skipped a beat and his hands trembled.
Bring back to the Western Regions?
"Prince Leiman, do you know what you are saying now?"
For a moment, the emperor thought he had misheard and frowned as he looked at Leiman in front of him.
The candlelight illuminated the atmosphere in the room with a touch of warmth, and the light was engraved in Leiman's deep blue eyes, and the emotions in them did not seem to be a spur of the moment.
For no reason, Gu Qingsheng felt that there was something strange in Leiman's eyes when he looked at him.
"Of course I know, Your Majesty."
"I want to take Princess Changle back to the Western Regions."
"absurd!!"
The emperor's anger suddenly rose, he slapped the back of the chair and looked at Leiman with anger, but before he could continue to speak, Leiman interrupted him and said
"I'm in the princess! I feel the unique witchcraft of our Western Regions!"
Gu Qingsheng's body stiffened, and the black ocarina on her chest also vibrated.
"This, Gu magic is from the Western Regions? Isn't it from Miaojiang?"
She asked Miao Lanlan in her heart, and Miao Lanlan was also a little confused and stammered in response.
"I... I once heard that a branch of our Miao people once went to the West. Could it be... Could it be them..."
"My ancestor was this kind of... this kind of... this kind of..."
She couldn't bring herself to utter the following adjectives. In her eyes, there was nothing to praise about Leiman except that he was insidious and cunning.
Miao Lanlan couldn't accept it.
"Our Western Region Gu Technique cannot be passed on to outsiders. The person who possesses this Gu, Princess, must return with me. This is the custom of our Western Region."
He smiled sinisterly, and Gu Qingsheng finally figured out what the strange feeling in his heart was for half a day.
It turned out that Lei Man had sensed the scent of Gu in her body from the moment he approached her.
Now that his identity has been exposed, it is imperative that Princess Changle of Jinchu is taken back by Lei Man to form an alliance with the Western Regions.
Things became a little tricky for a while, and the emperor began to have doubts. He turned to Changle behind him and asked
"Changle, do you really have that thing on you? How did you get it?"
"this……"
Gu Qingsheng was a little hesitant. She was not sure whether the emperor could protect her if she admitted this.
But at the same time, if he didn't admit it, the fact that Miao Lanlan was hanging on his chest was a fact.
"emperor."
The melodious and lingering voice was like a yellow oriole dancing in the night.
The woman walked gracefully, and the fragrance of the fine powder made people feel dizzy.
The light yellow dress is like the skirt of a blooming crabapple.
Her complexion was delicate and her eyes were full of affection, which was completely different from the tired look she had when she watched the play during the day.
Qianshi followed behind her, holding a high-quality bird's nest Gu cup in her hand, and her lowered brows and pleasing look were very pleasing.
Madam Ning, perhaps now she should be called Concubine Ning, pretended to be surprised when she walked past Leiman.
"Ah, I didn't see the prince was here. How rude of me."
The corners of Leiman's eyes twitched visibly, and his tone became sarcastic.
"What a coincidence that the imperial concubine came."
Lady Ning smiled without saying a word, her eyes full of kindness. When she looked at the emperor, she immediately saw Changle hiding behind him. Their eyes met, and although there was no emotion in her bright eyes, she gave Gu Qingsheng a sense of understanding.
"What day is it today? We are all in this imperial study. It has been a long time since I last saw Princess Changle."
She reached out and took the bird's nest and placed it in front of the emperor. The emperor then spoke, and his brows relaxed a little when he saw Concubine Ning.
"Why are you here?"
"I thought the Emperor had worked hard reviewing memorials, so I specially prepared some bird's nests and sent them to him. I didn't expect it to be so lively."
As she spoke, Concubine Ning glanced at Gu Qingsheng again, and this glance contained a lot of meaning.
Gu Qingsheng's eyes darkened, and he suddenly stepped forward and grabbed the corner of Concubine Ning's robe.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, you must make the decision for Changle!"
Her eyes were filled with tears, and anyone who saw her looked like a little girl who had been wronged. This made the emperor's words of blame choke in his throat for a moment.
"Your Highness, Prince Lei, you insist on taking Changle back to the Western Regions, saying that Changle has some kind of witchcraft. You want Changle to be the one making the decision, but I don't even know what that witchcraft is!"
As she spoke, she began to cry, which startled Concubine Ning. She hurriedly helped her up and wiped her tears carefully.
"What's wrong with the princess? What kind of witchcraft is this? Why haven't I heard of it before? Did Prince Leiman make a mistake?"
Taking Gu Qingsheng into her arms, Concubine Ning looked at the emperor with resentment and mentioned with great compassion
"The Emperor is clearly here, why is he making the princess so sad?"
"The princess has been in Jinchu for many years. The only time she went out recently was to Luofo Temple with the Empress. She was seriously injured and was in a coma for several days after returning. How could she have had the opportunity to come into contact with the Western Region Gu magic?"
"If the prince saw the princess so sad, I don't know how heartbroken he would be."
