These three sentences were like three depth charges that exploded in the emperor's heart.
First, it was mentioned that Gu Qingsheng had not left Jin and Chu for many years, then it was mentioned that she risked her life to rescue the queen, and then it talked about Prince Duan.
The emperor's heart was suddenly filled with mixed emotions. He turned his attention from Gu Qingsheng and looked at Lei Man who was thinking over and over again.
"Prince, are you mistaken? The Imperial Concubine is right. Changle has been in Jinchu for many years. I watched her grow up."
"You also said that your Western Region Gu techniques are not to be passed on to outsiders. Then how did Changle get your Gu techniques? There must be something wrong."
At this time, the emperor's mind finally changed. Putting aside this relationship, Gu Qingsheng had no chance to come into contact with witchcraft, so how could he be entangled by Lei Man?
The relationship between the Western Regions and Jin and Chu is delicate. If a marriage alliance is made between Jin and Chu, the Western Regions will definitely benefit the most.
Thinking of this, there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes when he looked at Leiman.
Lei Man never expected that Concubine Ning could turn the situation around with just a few words. He couldn't help but be a little surprised. He looked at Gu Qingsheng in Concubine Ning's arms, and the other party gave him a slightly meaningful look in return.
And it was this look that made Leiman understand a lot.
The woman clearly struggled before getting on the sedan chair, but she became motionless once she was on it.
When she arrived in the palace, she had so many opportunities to tell others about her identity, but she kept her mouth shut.
What is this for?
"you!"
A clear mind flashed through his mind, and Leiman stood up angrily and pointed at Gu Qingsheng. This action was too big, and Gu Qingsheng screamed and fell into Concubine Ning's arms.
"Oh! Prince, don't hit me! Prince, don't hit me!"
"Don't hit me like you hit those two kids on the street! Help! Help! Those two kids are dying, and I don't want to die! Help!"
The scream spread throughout the imperial study. Leiman was startled and gritted his teeth. The emperor's majestic voice fell on him.
"Oh? Beating up two kids in the street? What the hell is going on? Prince?"
He didn't even have the time to refute or investigate the witchcraft on Gu Qingsheng before the momentum changed.
After gritting his teeth for a while, Leiman suddenly loosened his clenched fists and sneered.
"Noble Concubine, please send someone to send Changle back first. It's getting late, so as not to worry the prince."
"The prince and I..."
The light in the emperor's eyes gradually dimmed
"There may be some things that need to be taken care of."
…
The night walk with Concubine Ning was a little different from usual.
Although she was smiling, the smile did not reach her eyes and she walked slowly.
Gu Qingsheng rubbed his brows and walked behind Concubine Ning with some sadness.
In fact, even if Concubine Ning didn't come, this matter could be solved in a perfunctory manner, but it would be a bit troublesome.
The arrival of Concubine Ning is a good thing after all, but it also brings a lot of troubles in the future. For example, is the plan that I carefully set up still useful now?
She knew Zheng Xueyi would definitely go back to find help, and she thought the person she found would be Xu Qingyi, so why...
"Princess, you don't need to mind."
Concubine Ning in front suddenly stopped and turned to look at Gu Qingsheng. The moonlight cast a silver edge on her.
"It just happened that after listening to the opera, I ran into the woman next to the princess."
Without Gu Qingsheng saying anything, Concubine Ning guessed most of what she was thinking.
"Everyone had dispersed, and the woman came to the teahouse in a daze, looking for someone but couldn't find him. I happened to run into her."
"At first she was a little hesitant to tell me this, but then, perhaps because she was desperate, she asked me to help you."
She smiled
"There is a wonderful person beside the princess, or rather."
She took out a wooden sign from her arms. Her white fingers were very beautiful, and the sign hanging on it was equally exquisite. The four big characters "Princess Changle" were cleverly carved on it.
It is the same piece used to enter the teahouse.
"The princess herself is also a wonderful person."
Gu Qingsheng's expression gradually became serious, and she looked straight into Concubine Ning's eyes.
If you are afraid when dealing with someone like Concubine Ning, you will immediately be at a disadvantage.
"I deliberately had someone give me the item and then left the sign behind. On the one hand, I was doing a favor for myself, and on the other hand, I was revealing my identity."
"If what the princess gave me is truly useful, then I will definitely be deeply grateful to the princess for this sign, and will find the princess with this 'not too lost' sign."
"Is this the princess's plan?"
The woman was so close to him.
But it was so far away that it seemed like facing the quiet wind in the valley, and it felt particularly cold.
Gu Qingsheng pursed his lips, and she guessed it.
This carefully planned plan was exposed due to Lehman's involvement.
Whatever.
Imperial Concubine Ning is such a smart person, she will definitely figure it out in the end. Now she is just bringing things to the surface.
"Noble Concubine Ning is naturally clear-headed. I was originally planning to rely on this great Buddha, but not now."
"I've asked Concubine Ning to do me a favor in advance."
She lowered her eyes and looked humble, but only Concubine Ning knew that the Princess Changle in front of her had already turned into a jackal in the night, who would bite her throat if she was not careful and then use up all her flesh and blood.
"It makes no difference whether I help you now or later. Anyway, the princess is absolutely sure about my situation."
The two of them arrived at the carriage at the city gate in the blink of an eye, and sent Gu Qingsheng onto the carriage. Concubine Ning looked up at her with a cunning smile.
"Then, I will need your help in my affairs, my Lord."
"Since the princess dared to take over this mess of mine, I will not be satisfied unless you make some achievements."
The strong wind brought some chill in the night.
The threat in his words was as terrifying and cold as the sword that pierced his body in his previous life.
Gu Qingsheng stood on the carriage, his hand just halfway opening the curtain, and glanced at Concubine Ning who was smiling at him from below, and sneered
"We are all smart people. We have a long way to go, Your Majesty."
"I will give you what you ask for."
"Tonight, there will be results."
Then, the curtain fell, leaving Concubine Ning with only the last trace of Gu Qingsheng's light-colored clothes.
The carriage gradually went away, and Qianshi, who was at the back, came to Concubine Ning's side and looked at the carriage obscurely.
"This Princess Changle really doesn't understand the situation. She clearly knows that you and the Queen don't get along, but she's trying to please the Queen while also trying to please you. Could it be that she wants to choose between the two sides and not want to offend anyone?"
There was a hint of complaint in her tone, and Concubine Ning nodded her head.
"What do you know?"
Let out a breath and relax your whole body
"She's not choosing, she wants both."
"Everyone in Jinchu knows that the Queen and I don't get along, so why would she want to have anything to do with me? Haven't you thought about it?"
