"Get out! Get out!"
The housekeeper's words are so vicious that they can make people die of anger.
Gu Yue would not lower herself to argue with a housekeeper.
She ordered someone to kick the housekeeper out.
She doesn't care whether she is a princess or not.
So what if the housekeeper is the princess's person?
Since they have already fallen out, she doesn't need to be polite to the housekeeper.
The maids worked together and finally drove the noisy housekeeper out.
Gu Yue's face turned pale and he was shaking all over.
After taking several deep breaths, he finally suppressed the anger in his heart.
"Help me change my clothes."
Dressed neatly and wearing a cloak, Gu Yue went out in the cold wind despite her weak body.
The maid Grape asked, "Are you going to see the princess?"
Gu Yue sneered, "Why would I want to see her? Are you asking for trouble? I want to see the prince."
Just as the housekeeper said, without the King of Chu's approval, the princess would never dare to drive her out of the palace.
She is not a lowly concubine without a name or a surname, and without even a family.
She was the legitimate daughter of the Gu family in the capital, her father was the Junior Minister of the Imperial Household, her grandfather was the General of the Zhen Army, and her great-uncle was the Marquis of Pingnan.
My elder sister is the eldest lady of Prince Ning’s Mansion.
The other cousins all married into the mansions of marquises, dukes, or at the very least, earls.
With such a family background, the Princess of Chu could not even touch her without the King of Chu's approval. She could only be harsh on her in words or in her food.
Braving the cold wind, Gu Yue came to the study in the outer courtyard to ask to see the King of Chu.
After waiting for a full cup of tea, the King of Chu finally agreed to see her.
Gu Yue walked into the study and saw the cold expression on King Chu's face. She didn't feel any warmth, but felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar.
She burst into tears before she could even speak. "The housekeeper just informed me that I'm going to be kicked out of the house tomorrow. Or is this the prince's intention? Prince, this is fake, right? It must be that housekeeper's nonsense, right?"
The King of Chu's face was grave as he said, "It is my will to send you back to the Gu family. I have already sent someone to inform the Gu family, and someone will come to pick you up tomorrow afternoon. If no one comes, I will send someone else to take you back to the Gu family."
"No, I won't go back. I am the prince's man in life and his ghost in death."
"Don't be stubborn." The King of Chu said in a serious tone.
Gu Yue burst into tears, "What did I do wrong? Your Highness, tell me, I'll change, I'll change everything, okay? I really can't go back. How can I survive if I go back?"
The King of Chu sighed, "You are no longer fit to stay in the palace. Things have been turbulent lately, with incidents happening one after another. I have a heavy burden on my shoulders, and I don't want to cause any more trouble."
All those things you did, your reputation... In short, you are no longer fit to stay in the palace.
Don't worry, I will write a letter to Master Gu. After you return to your parents' home, you can marry on your own. From now on, you will have no connection with the palace."
"Where's the child? I gave birth to the child for the prince. Even if I didn't do anything great, I still worked hard. So, the prince won't show any mercy?"
"The child will stay in the palace, and you can go back on your own. From now on, don't worry about a single blade of grass or a single tree in the palace."
Gu Yue felt a great pain in her heart. "The prince has such a cruel heart. He wants to drive me out of the palace just because of some rumors. I might as well die."
The King of Chu hardened his heart and said expressionlessly, "Even if you die now, I will send your body back to the Gu family."
Gu Yue looked at King Chu in disbelief, covering his heart with his hands, his face pale.
The King of Chu had a gloomy face, and he looked intimidating without even getting angry.
"Where is Xie Shiren? I want to confront him. I am innocent. Your Majesty, you must believe me. I am truly innocent."
"Xie Shi is still imprisoned in the Jinwu Guards and may be released before the New Year." After a pause, the King of Chu continued, "Rumors will not disappear regardless of your innocence. Your reputation has been ruined, and I have no choice but to send you back to the palace. Don't blame me for being cruel; I had no choice. I will not allow anyone to harm the reputation of the palace."
Gu Yue sat on the ground in a daze. "Is the prince really so cruel? They say a husband and wife for a day are bound by a hundred days of grace. The prince and I are more than just a couple for a day. I have shown so much kindness, but I can't even get the slightest bit of pity from the prince."
The King of Chu said with a cold face, "I have never been a man who sympathizes with women. You should have thought of all this before you insisted on entering the palace."
Gu Yue shook her head repeatedly. "I never thought that after entering the palace, I would be driven out one day. Since the prince wants to drive me out, I can only accept my fate. I only have one request, give me the child."
The King of Chu frowned, "How can I let you take my child away?"
Gu Yue sneered, "Don't you know how pitiful a child without a mother is? What's more, his mother was driven out of the palace by the prince himself. When he grows up, will he be able to hold his head up high?"
If he follows me, at least I have a dowry, and I can leave my dowry to him. If he stays in the palace, he will be a nobleman in vain, but he will not even be as good as a respectable servant.
The King of Chu said with a stern face, "Don't even think about taking the child away."
Gu Yue smiled coldly, "If the prince refuses to agree to me, then I will never leave the palace."
The King of Chu angrily retorted, "It's not up to you."
Gu Yue suppressed her anger and said, "Okay, very good. The prince is indeed a heart of stone."
After saying that, Gu Yue stood up and left the study.
She walked in the cold wind, accompanied only by her maid Grape.
Grape advised, "It's cold outside, Liangdi, please go back to your room."
Gu Yue pinched the branch and gritted her teeth, "Everyone bullies and humiliates me, and everyone tramples on me like dirt. I won't accept it, I won't resign myself to it."
"Liang Di, stop talking, or someone might hear you."
"So what if I heard it? I've already fallen to this point. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes, so why should I be afraid? The worst that can happen is that both of us will die."
Gu Yue's eyes were fierce as he swept across the faces of the servants watching around.
Every servant who met her gaze would subconsciously lower their head, feeling guilty.
Gu Yue snorted coldly and went straight back to her room.
She sat from day to night, and from night to three in the morning.
The child was already asleep, but her heart was filled with hatred.
Everyone deserves to die.
Damn it!
She stretched out her hand and covered the child's face. If she covered it tightly, the child would die with her.
The maid Grape suddenly woke up.
"Liang Di, what are you doing? Please don't be confused."
Grape rushed over, pulled Gu Yue's hand away, and quickly checked the child's condition.
The child is still alive, thank God.
Grape quickly picked up the child and handed him to the nurse, not daring to let Gu Yue touch the child again.
Gu Yue sat at the head of the bed, staring at her hands in a daze.
"Liang Di, you are confused!"
Grape sighed, "The child is staying in the palace, at least there is still something to think about. If anything happens to the child, with the prince's temper, he will definitely ask Liangdi to pay for it."
Gu Yue put away his palm and sneered, "Asking me to pay with my life, I'll just end it all. I'm already like this, why not take the child and reincarnate in the underworld."
Grape said earnestly, "Why are you so depressed, Concubine Liang? The prince has already promised to let you marry on your own. When Concubine Liang returns to the Gu Mansion, she'll take her dowry and find a suitable match.
Moreover, Prince Ning was appointed as the crown prince, and Liangdi, as the sister of the Grand Lady of Prince Ning's mansion, could easily arrange a marriage."
Gu Yue gritted her teeth, "Are you asking me to take advantage of Gu Jiu?"
"Since there's a chance to benefit from this, Liang Di, please stop being picky. At this point, we can only look forward."
"You're getting bolder and bolder."
Grape smiled sadly, "This servant can only follow Liang Di and serve her for the rest of her life. This servant has already come to terms with it. In order to have a better life in the future, I naturally have to persuade Liang Di."
Gu Yue snorted, "From being a concubine in the palace to being banished back to my parents' home, I've become a complete laughing stock in the capital. Marrying on my own, huh, who in the capital would dare to marry me? Even the master would probably beat me up and shut me up in the ancestral hall if he knew I was banished back to the Gu Mansion."
"Being beaten and having the ancestral hall shut down is better than dying. As long as you're alive, you have a chance."
Gu Yue shook her head. She didn’t want to live such a miserable life and didn’t want to give those people an advantage.
"Go down and rest. I need to think about it."
"Liang Di, please don't get stuck in a rut."
It was already late and Grape fell asleep quickly after a tiring day.
The candlelight flickered, and the shadows of people were reflected on the wall, changing unpredictably.
The grapes are awakened by the heat.
When I opened my eyes, I was surrounded by flames rising into the sky.
"There's a fire, there's a fire... cough cough... there's a fire... Liang Di, Liang Di, Liang Di you..."
The grapes were frightened.
She saw Gu Yue holding a torch and setting fire outside the door.
"Liang Di, stop it."
Gu Yue entered the wet nurse's room and saw her brother lying inside.
"Wow……"
The boy's crying could be heard through the firelight.
Grape wanted to rush out of the room, but the fire was getting bigger and bigger, and breathing was becoming more and more difficult.
She wrapped herself in a quilt and rushed into the flames.
She doesn't want to burn to death, she doesn't want to die here.
She wanted to save her brother and couldn't let Liangdi harm him.
Grape rushed out of the room, her body on fire, and rolled on the ground several times before the fire was extinguished.
The dry weather caused the fire to spread rapidly, and the entire courtyard was engulfed in flames in the blink of an eye.
In the distance, there were sounds of gongs and drums. The servants in the palace had already discovered the fire.
"Liang Di, let my brother go!"
Grape screamed.
Gu Yue stood in the flames, holding the child in one hand and a torch in the other.
She laughed out loud.
Grape was terrified.
At this moment, the firefighters finally arrived.
The servant broke open the gate and rushed in.
"Hurry up and save the child, hurry up!"
Several guards rushed into the burning room and snatched the child away.
Grape knelt on the ground and burst into tears.
"Why? Why is this happening?"
A huge fire woke up the entire palace.
When Princess Chu learned that Gu Yue had set people on fire, she cursed inwardly, "Bitch!"
You're about to be kicked out, yet you still dare to mess around.
"Is the person dead?" Princess Chu asked the nanny beside her.
"Rescued."
"Why didn't she die? Didn't she want to die?"
"It's not like she wanted to die. The guards said that Gu Liangdi just wanted to set the fire to vent her anger."
"Bitch, how dare you set fire to the palace? Why doesn't the prince just order her execution?"
"The prince has already rushed over. Does Your Majesty want to go over and take a look too?"
Princess Chu hummed, "Such a big thing, this princess naturally has to go and take a look."
Fortunately, Gu Yue lived in a house with its own door and yard, and the fire did not spread to other yards.
The fire burned for two or three hours before it was put out, and the entire courtyard was reduced to ashes.
The surrounding trees were not spared either.
After finishing everything, it was dawn.
Such a big fire naturally alarmed all the government offices.
Early in the morning, officials came to inquire about the situation.
Family disgrace should not be made public, so the Chu Palace claimed that the fire was caused by the servants' negligence.
He firmly refused to admit that the fire was set intentionally.
If the King of Chu felt somewhat sorry for Gu Yue before, now he has made up his mind to drive Gu Yue out of the palace.
Unable to wait for the people from the Gu Mansion to send a car to pick her up, he packed up Gu Yue and stuffed her into the carriage, and asked the steward to send her back to the Gu Mansion.
When Gu Yue left, she turned around and smiled at King Chu, a faint smile.
The King of Chu frowned, looking very disgusted.
In a blink of an eye, Gu Yue laughed sarcastically again, and finally left with the steward without saying a word.
Princess Chu muttered, "He's simply a disaster."
He is more than a disaster, he is clearly a vicious person.
Gu Yue was sent back to the Gu Mansion.
The people from the palace dropped her off at the gate of the Gu family, knocked on the door for her, and then drove away.
When the doorman opened the door, he saw, oh my god, Third Aunt had really been sent back.
What should I do?
The master got angry yesterday and said that he would not let the third aunt come in.
Gu Yue ignored the doorman and walked straight in.
The doorman tried to stop him, but Gu Yue glared at him, "You dare to stop me?"
The concierge hesitated.
During this moment of hesitation, Gu Yue successfully entered the gate of the Gu Mansion.
The concierge was in tears and could only hope that Lord Gu would not vent his anger on her.
