Lu'er was betrayed by Gu Yanyue?
Yuwen Ran looked at Concubine Su in front of him nonchalantly, then raised his legs calmly and sat down on the round stool beside him.
When he met Concubine Su's eyes, Yuwen Ran's eyebrows were filled with indifference: "I ordered Lu'er to be sold to Yihong Courtyard."
After hearing Yuwen Ran's words, Concubine Su was stunned.
She certainly didn't expect things to turn out like this.
Concubine Su wanted to take this opportunity to severely scold Gu Yanyue, but she didn't expect that all this was done by Yuwen Ran.
"Your Majesty, Lu'er has never done anything wrong..."
Concubine Su's eyes were slightly red, and tears seemed to be about to fall in the next second.
Yu Wenran withdrew his gaze, his eyes filled with unconcealable disgust.
At this moment, Concubine Su is weak and needs a lot of nourishment.
The soups and medicines prepared by other people in the palace were not to Concubine Su's taste, but the soup made by Gu Yanyue was delicious, which really whetted Concubine Su's appetite.
Looking at the bowl of chicken soup that Gu Yanyue had someone pass over, Concubine Su bit her lower lip in hatred, and couldn't help turning away.
"Noble Concubine Su, this is the chicken soup I prepared for you. If you want to drink it, drink it."
After a slight pause, Gu Yanyue continued, "Of course, I wouldn't be so foolish as to poison your chicken soup, so you can drink it with peace of mind. If you're worried, just pour it out."
Looking at the backs of Gu Yanyue and Yuwen Ran leaving together, Concubine Su felt uncomfortable.
The fingers hidden in her sleeves were clenched into fists. Concubine Su looked at their backs with hatred, and became more and more jealous that Gu Yanyue could stay with Yuwen Ran as a matter of course.
On the way back to the bedroom.
Gu Yanyue recalled what happened to Concubine Su before.
She couldn't help but slow down her pace and turned around to look at Yuwen Ran.
"Your Majesty, I have something I want to tell you."
Seeing Gu Yanyue's seriousness, Yuwen Ran nodded in agreement, "Ayue, just tell me what you want to say."
After all, Concubine Su is a member of the Su family, and Gu Yanyue is a little worried that Yuwen Ran is unwilling to let her go.
After hesitating for a moment, Gu Yanyue was still willing to believe Yu Wenran, and then told the truth: "It was Concubine Su."
"Lady Su previously told me that if it would lead to the complete overthrow of General Su, she would also be willing to provide evidence of his past crimes."
After that, Gu Yanyue specifically brought up the conditions proposed by Concubine Su one by one, "But Concubine Su once said that she hopes to leave the palace after all this is over."
After all, Concubine Su just wanted freedom.
The only person Yu Wenran deeply loves is Gu Yanyue.
At this moment, Yuwen Ran nodded and agreed without hesitation, "When General Su is completely overthrown, I will secretly send Concubine Su away."
After getting Yuwen Ran's promise, Gu Yanyue immediately sent someone to inform Concubine Yu Su about this matter.
In order to prevent the Su family's secrets over the years from being revealed, Concubine Su met with Gu Yanyue in private, and when there was no one else around, she listed hundreds of sins one by one.
Looking at the contents written on the rice paper, Gu Yanyue was a little shocked.
She knew that General Su was not a good person, but Gu Yanyue never expected that the entire Su family would be like this...
The news that Prince Xiang had returned to Kyoto quickly spread.
According to custom, a banquet should be held to celebrate the return of the dynasty's generals and ministers to the capital.
As the mistress of the harem, Gu Yanyue began to prepare a banquet to welcome Prince Xiang.
King Xiang has always been reluctant to show off. He specifically told Gu Yanyue that there was no need to invite the ministers in the court, and a small family dinner would be enough.
Having said that, Gu Yanyue still needs to pay attention to the proper etiquette to avoid being criticized in the future.
The banquet was grand and solemn.
King Xiang was obviously very surprised, but apart from that, he was also secretly happy.
"I am so happy that Prince Xiang has returned to the capital today. I don't care about the feelings of you gentlemen. Please do as you please today."
Yu Wenran, who was sitting on the high seat, said this, undoubtedly letting everyone drink by themselves without having to worry about anything.
At this time, Prince Xiang slowly stood up, walked to the center of the room without haste, and then bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I greet you."
"There's no need for the King of Xiang to be so polite."
Yu Wenran waved his hand casually, signaling him to stand up.
"Your Majesty, I have a humble request. I hope to take this opportunity to enter the court and help Your Majesty solve his problems."
King Xiang's face was full of respect, as if he really considered this.
Yuwen Ran had already guessed in advance that King Xiang's intentions were not simple.
But as soon as Prince Xiang returned to the capital, he took the initiative to bring up the matter of serving as an official in the court. Yuwen Ran couldn't help but narrow his eyes slightly.
But this happened in public, and Yu Wenran couldn't refuse.
He could only nod in agreement, "That's great. With your help, I'm sure I'll be able to relax a bit in the future."
Yu Wenran continued speaking as he vaguely thought of something.
"The Hanlin Academy is currently understaffed. Could you please allow Prince Xiang to serve in the Hanlin Academy for the time being?"
Prince Xiang pretended to be calm and agreed without hesitation, "Your Majesty, please make the arrangements. I will do my best."
At the banquet, both the top scorers in the civil and military examinations came to the fore.
Yuwen Ran glanced at Prince Xiang before him, then spoke tentatively, "Prince Xiang, did you see the sword dance performed by the top scorer in the martial arts exam just now?"
Suddenly being mentioned by Yuwen Ran, the King of Xiang feigned composure and smiled, then responded repeatedly, "Of course."
"When Prince Xiang returns to the capital, he can also compete with the martial arts champion."
When Yuwen Ran brought up this matter, King Xiang smiled slightly embarrassedly and wanted to refuse, but seeing Yuwen Ran's face full of expectations, he simply bit the bullet and competed with him.
But after just a few moves, King Xiang was unable to keep up and gradually lost the battle.
"Your Majesty, I don't know martial arts, and I've embarrassed myself again."
While speaking, King Xiang bowed deliberately with an embarrassed smile on his face.
Although this was the case, in Gu Yanyue's eyes, King Xiang was clearly lying.
Just now, when King Xiang picked up the sword, both his movements and his posture were correct. Moreover, Gu Yanyue also secretly discovered the calluses on the palm of King Xiang's hand.
I think King Xiang took this opportunity to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger.
Gu Yanyue's eyes gradually darkened, and she deliberately lowered her voice when she spoke, carefully reminding Yu Wenran.
"Your Majesty, Prince Xiang is definitely not someone who is not good at martial arts. He even has thick calluses on his hands."
