Chapter 142: Not a fickle person
The guards at the palace gate didn't dare to stop him, and the little palace maid had no choice but to trot over to report to He Xiang and Leng Yue.
Before the two of them could go to greet him, Gu Qingyu had already walked to the door of the bedroom with his long legs.
"Is the princess in the bedroom?"
He Xiang pulled Leng Yue to block the door of the bedroom and said respectfully, "Looking back, young marquis, the princess has gone to bed. If you have anything to do, please come back tomorrow."
Gu Qingyu frowned, worry on his face: "The princess was not seen at the Qionglin Banquet just now, is she sick?"
He Xiang: "Young Marquis, you are worrying too much. The princess is fine, but she is a little tired today, so she didn't attend the banquet."
"Tired?" His worry turned into anger, "Could it be that bastard Shao Siyan's fault?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a gentle voice with sneer came from behind him.
"Young Marquis Gu still loves to speak ill of others behind their backs as always."
Generally speaking, people would feel more or less embarrassed if they were caught saying bad things about someone.
But Gu Qingyu is different. He is extremely thick-skinned and is an ordinary person among ordinary people.
He turned around and saw Shao Siyan standing behind him with a medicine box, looking like he had just finished his shift.
Gu Qingyu was a little surprised, "Not you? Could it be..." He didn't finish his words, and suddenly remembered that there was another person missing at the banquet.
His face was suddenly filled with anger, as he remembered that the pretty boy who was sent out by Qi Yue at the entrance of the teahouse opposite Fumanlou was the legitimate grandson of Mr. Xie, the top scholar in literature who was absent just now!
This ignorant pretty boy actually dares to snatch people from him again and again. He'll have to cut off his hands, feet and third leg!
He strode forward and wanted to break into the bedroom to find out what was going on.
Leng Yue kept staring at him and stopped him as soon as he made a move.
Gu Qingyu's face was filled with anger, and he shouted, "How dare you! Who gave your dog the guts to block my way?"
Leng Yue did not retreat at all, and said calmly: "The princess gave it to me."
"you--"
Seeing Gu Qingyu being bullied, Shao Siyan sneered. He carried the medicine box and slowly walked towards the side hall next to the bedroom.
Since the princess didn't summon him to sleep with her, he wouldn't go and cause trouble on purpose.
Not to mention that it will annoy the princess, even the favored maidservants around the princess will not treat you well in the future, and you will be the one who suffers then.
He was in a bad mood today because he found out that the princess favored someone else.
But seeing Gu Qingyu's angry yet helpless look, he felt inexplicably much better.
Seeing that he looked as if it had nothing to do with him, Gu Qingyu gave up trying to force his way into the bedroom and turned around to follow Shao Siyan to the side rooms.
She angrily complained to him: "Hey, why aren't you in a hurry at all? There are other wild men hiding in the princess' bedroom. How about we cooperate..."
"So what?" Shao Siyan glanced at him and interrupted him.
"So what? You're not angry at all? You don't care at all? I think you're just being fake to the princess!"
Shao Siyan said coldly: "Young Marquis Gu should keep his mouth shut, otherwise I don't mind making it unable to speak again."
"You!" Gu Qingyu said with a bit of frustration, "After all, you and I are friends who have lived together for a lifetime. It's okay for us to fight for it, but if we let other wild men get past us, that won't do!"
Thinking of Shao Siyan having entered the backyard of the princess's mansion a long time ago, he said in a sour tone, "Doesn't the princess usually dote on you? Why didn't you say a word today? Did you not serve the princess well before and angered her? Did you lose her favor?"
Listening to Gu Qingyu's mumbling, Shao Siyan did not pause for a moment.
Seeing that he didn't respond, "Are you mute? I'm talking to you..."
He walked all the way to the door of the wing room, Shao Siyan opened the door, turned around and went inside, then looked at him for a long while as if he was a fool.
"Noisy."
Then with a "bang", the door was closed.
Gu Qingyu opened his eyes wide, full of disbelief.
His chest was heaving with anger, but in the end he just cursed: "You don't know how to appreciate kindness!"
Then he threw away his sleeves and walked away angrily.
On the other side is Xie Mansion.
When Prime Minister Xie heard the news about Xie Yun from the servant, he felt as if struck by lightning and felt that a disaster was imminent.
Prime Minister Xie was both angry and frightened, and for a moment he didn't know what to do.
Seeing Xie Lao coming in, he hurriedly said, "Lao'er, this... this, this, what should we do, your brother..."
Seeing that Prime Minister Xie's chest was heaving and his body was staggering, he quickly strode forward and supported him.
"Grandfather, please speak slowly, what happened to Ah Yun?"
Xie Lao helped him smooth his back and steady his breathing, and then Prime Minister Xie slowly told him what happened.
"I heard from people in the palace that this brat ran to the Princess's palace after receiving his reward! He didn't even come out of the Moon Palace until the banquet was over!"
"This princess is the sweetheart of Young Marquis Gu. If Young Marquis Gu knew that he had provoked the princess, with his temper, wouldn't he beat him half to death?"
"How could such a well-behaved and sensible child cause such a big mess?"
Xie Luo frowned, feeling vaguely uneasy, as if he had overlooked something.
But he still looked after Prime Minister Xie and comforted him, "Grandfather, maybe Ah Yun got lost accidentally and happened to enter the Princess's palace by mistake. Let's wait for someone to come back first."
Prime Minister Xie was not comforted at all. He suddenly grabbed Xie Lao's hand and said with a sad face: "Lao'er, if this is true, then the Xie family can only rely on you to support it in the future!"
These words directly gave up on Xie Yun.
Xie Lao: "Grandfather, things are not that serious yet..."
Prime Minister Xie waved his hands and said, "You don't understand... There were many people who wanted to marry the princess at the beginning. Except for Jiang Sheng who was able to defeat Young Marquis Gu, all the others who overestimated their own abilities were beaten up by Young Marquis Gu without exception."
"Some had their ribs broken and were bedridden for ten days or half a month. Some had their limbs broken and were nearly half dead."
Xie Luo frowned, "Young Marquis Gu is so arrogant, doesn't your Majesty care?"
Prime Minister Xie sighed, "Young Marquis Gu always finds a good excuse to beat someone up, or he deliberately provokes the other person, and only then does he take ruthless action when he is right."
"Besides, the Gu family is full of loyal and heroic people who have sacrificed their lives for the country. Your Majesty has always been very tolerant of Young Marquis Gu. Moreover, Young Marquis Gu grew up with Your Majesty's eldest princess since childhood. They are childhood sweethearts and have a very deep relationship."
Xie Lao didn't expect this matter to be so difficult, and said hesitantly: "After all, Ah Yun is the new champion selected by His Majesty. No matter how arrogant and domineering this young Marquis Gu is, he will at least give His Majesty some face and will not do things so drastically..."
"Besides, Ah Yun wouldn't necessarily do anything wrong. He even accepted another girl's sachet during the day. Ah Yun is not the kind of person who changes his mind every day."
