"It's better not to send it." Gu Changan said, "In fact, there are only a few people who are targeting me. The emperor is a discerning person and he can see what those princes are thinking at a glance.
For the sake of balance in the court, the emperor would not easily issue an order or say anything even if he knew what the princes were thinking.
But now I want to restore my appearance. If my grandfather agrees with what my father said in the letter, I will naturally no longer be able to be used by others.
The Crown Prince is lustful, and coupled with the Emperor's partiality for him, who knows what will happen if he lets go of his scruples."
"The Southern Kingdom's Emperor is Chang'an's maternal grandfather," Bei Mingxuan said. "He's the prized asset to the princes, and he's also Chang'an's guarantee. If Chang'an loses that backing, other troubles might follow."
"This is exactly what I'm hesitant about right now." Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment, "Never mind, even if you break bones, you still have tendons."
Chang'an nodded and said no more.
After breakfast, Gu Qingfeng locked himself in the room and muttered to himself in front of his wife's portrait.
In the yard, Chang'an was looking for a red plum that looked better, and was preparing to let Bei Mingxuan bring it back.
"The Queen Mother likes you." Bei Mingxuan stood beside Chang'an, his voice was not loud, "If you have a request, the Queen Mother will definitely help you. There are many things that you don't have to do yourself."
The corners of Chang'an's lips curled up. How could what she wanted be so simple?
The fourth prince Bei Mingye's greatest wish is the dragon throne. She wants to make sure that Bei Mingye will never get what he wants in this life. She wants him to regret using her, to make him dig his own grave, and to walk into a place of no return.
She also wanted to prevent Gu Shijia from ever being with Bei Mingye, and she wanted to return to Gu Shijia everything she had suffered in her previous life.
Bei Mingxuan looked at the smile on Gu Chang'an's lips and shook his head. "Gu Chang'an, you borrowed my mansion to stay, saying you didn't want to be used as a pawn, but that was just an excuse. If you really didn't want to be used, why did you join the game?"
"If you want to leave the world, you must enter it." Chang'an felt that there was no need to hide it from Bei Mingxuan, "Chang'an wants to join the game, and also wants to have a taste of what it's like to be the chess player.
Therefore, not only does my appearance need to be restored, but it might also be nice if my grandfather could give me the status of a princess or a princess.
Moreover, if I don't restore my appearance, how can you, Ninth Prince, reap the benefits?"
Bei Mingxuan raised his eyebrows, his eyes showing three points of amusement and seven points of surprise. "I wonder what role I play in your plan?"
Chang An picked out the red plum blossoms and gave them to Bei Mingxuan. "Since your mansion has become my chessboard, I feel embarrassed to use you as a pawn. Bei Mingxuan, you must remember that we are partners."
"Okay." Bei Mingxuan agreed immediately, "It seems that the ancients were right. No matter how hard it is to offend someone, you don't want to marry a woman. It's just that women are difficult to raise.
I really don't know how my fourth brother offended you to make you want to cut off his path to the blue sky."
"So..." Chang'an glanced at Bei Mingxuan, "Don't offend Gu Chang'an if you want to offend anyone."
Bei Mingxuan watched Gu Changan leave, his eyes full of curiosity, wondering in his heart, could it be that he was really hurt by Bei Ming Ye.
After all, Gu Changan did have a crush on the Fourth Prince Bei Ming Ye before. Could it be that her change now is because she discovered that Bei Ming Ye only wanted to use her, so she did this?
Bei Mingxuan couldn't understand. Could it be just because of this reason?
So why did Gu Changan choose to cooperate with me?
Bei Mingxuan returned to Shudu and went straight to the palace.
The Emperor had always disliked the Ninth Prince. He always felt that this son was neither close nor distant to him, and he was neither respectful nor affectionate. In fact, if you think about it carefully, Bei Mingxuan was the same with everyone. "Spend more time with your brothers. After all, they are your brothers. Don't treat them like strangers.
Don't always hang out with a useless person, you are my son."
"Yes." Bei Mingxuan knew that the useless person the emperor was referring to was Gu Qingfeng. His face was calm, "My son is willing to get closer to you brothers, but I'm worried that you brothers don't want to get too close to me."
The emperor frowned. He knew what this son meant because he was Concubine Tong Bei Mingxuan's biological mother.
Many years ago, word spread from the palace that Bei Mingxuan's biological mother, Concubine Tong, was skilled in witchcraft.
In fact, this matter was spread by the emperor himself. He knew the whole story from beginning to end best. To put it bluntly, he deliberately framed Bei Mingxuan's biological mother.
Over the years, he had to admit that Bei Mingxuan and his mother were plagued by rumors, but it was not his fault. It was Concubine Tong who was ignorant of grace and had an affair with that man.
"Forget it." The emperor recalled some past events. Although he once suspected that Bei Mingxuan was not his son,
They even threw him onto the Huanghuang Mountain and left him to fend for himself.
Who would have thought that he was rescued by Gu Qingfeng, who was still a general at the time, and confirmed that Bei Mingxuan was indeed his own flesh and blood. Coupled with the Queen Mother's words, he allowed Bei Mingxuan to survive. "You can do whatever you want."
"Yes." Bei Mingxuan was extremely respectful. He came out of the hall, taking a deep breath, with a hint of strong sarcasm on his lips.
When I looked at him again, he had a calm expression on his face, but his eyes showed a hint of inferiority, as if his inferiority was really in his bones and not just pretended.
"Ninth brother."
Bei Mingxuan turned around and saw Bei Minghong, "Brother."
"Where are you going, Ninth Brother?" The eldest prince looked at the red plum in Bei Mingxuan's hand, "Why did you come out from Father's place with a red plum in your hand?"
"Just now, when I entered the palace, I placed the red plum blossoms outside the palace." Bei Mingxuan explained, "Now I am going to the Queen Mother. I know that she likes red plum blossoms."
The eldest prince noticed that Bei Mingxuan looked a little helpless and asked, "Were you scolded?"
"Brother, I'm really stupid." Bei Mingxuan looked confused. "Father told me to spend more time with my brothers and not hang out with useless people. I know Father loves me, but I really don't know how to get close to them."
The eldest prince was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Take your time. When you have nothing to do, just come to my brother's house. Lan'er is always pestering you. If I didn't know you don't like crowds, I would have let her go to my brother's house a long time ago."
"Yes." Bei Mingxuan smiled.
"Alright." The eldest prince glanced around the hall, "I won't say any more to you, my royal brother. Father summoned me, presumably because of the matter of the future Crown Princess."
"Future Crown Princess?" Bei Mingxuan had an expression of knowing nothing, and then instantly revealed an expression that said it was inappropriate to ask too much. "Oh, I'm being nosy. Big brother, go ahead and do it."
