"Forget it," said the eldest prince. "If you are injured, don't come here. Besides, there are many servants here. If you come and see your daughter in this state, won't you be even more anxious? General Qingyun, it's better for you to take me to see her."
"Yes." Gu Qingyun agreed.
"That's right." The prince suddenly said, "Brother, after seeing this, you should go back and tell your sister-in-law about the situation. Otherwise, if your sister-in-law finds out, she might say that you don't care about your family."
"Haha." The eldest prince teased, "Prince, your elder brother is just afraid of his wife. What are you talking about?"
The eldest prince left with Gu Qingyun.
Old Master Gu Xiong understood very well that what the eldest prince had just said was meant for him to hear.
After all, Qin Shumin is the eldest daughter of General Qin and the elder sister of the eldest prince's wife.
"Grandpa." It was Gu Shirong. He had been looking for his father, Gu Qingyun, but he saw his grandfather here. "The Ninth Prince is here."
"Ninth Prince?" Gu Xiong was surprised. He didn't think this was a place the Ninth Prince was interested in. Whenever he came here, it was always the courtyard of his youngest son, Gu Qingfeng.
Gu Xiong just turned around when he saw Bei Mingxuan walk in. "This old minister greets the Ninth Prince."
Except for the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince, everyone else knelt down with Gu Xiong.
"Old General, you know this prince doesn't care about these rules." Bei Mingxuan said, "Get up quickly."
As he spoke, he looked at the Crown Prince and the Fourth Prince again and simply greeted them, "Crown Prince, Fourth Brother."
"Why are you here?" asked the fourth prince Bei Mingye.
Bei Mingxuan shook the chess record in his hand and said, "I was originally going to look for Mr. Qingfeng, but I ran into General Qingyun and my elder brother halfway. My elder brother mentioned that you were here, so I came over to join in the fun."
Gu Xiong said, "My princes, please follow me to the front hall to rest for a while. When the diagnosis results are available, please report back to the front hall."
The princes should follow the host's lead.
However, the prince stood still, his eyes fixed on Gu Changan, "Your beauty is truly stunning."
Following the prince's words and gaze, everyone looked at Gu Changan.
Of course, when Bei Mingxuan took the first step into the yard, he saw Chang'an. Although he was a little surprised that Chang'an was not wearing a veil and showed her true face, but when he thought about it, no matter what unexpected things Chang'an did, it was normal.
Except for Gu Shirong who had just arrived, everyone knew that the person the prince was referring to was Gu Changan.
Gu Changan lowered his head slightly, hiding the displeasure in his eyes, "Not as good as my cousin, the beauty of a peony."
The prince walked directly towards Gu Changan and said, "Raise your head."
Hearing this, Gu Changan looked up.
A pair of eyes like ancient ponds, clean and clear, looked directly at the prince.
But there was a hint of disgust hidden deep in his eyes.
According to the information Gu Changan got from Fushengmen.
Bei Mingche, the crown prince of Shuzhou, lost his mother at a young age, and the current emperor dotes on him with extra favor. However, he lives up to his expectations, secretly enjoying gambling, lust, witchcraft, and colluding with ministers to form cliques for personal gain.
The emperor had been disappointed and helpless with him, but he never intended to give up on his son.
The prince raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes full of interest in Gu Changan, "In this prince's opinion, the beauty of the peony is nothing special."
He raised his hand, and his fingertips were about to touch Gu Changan's delicate and small pubic area.
But! It failed.
"Prince." Gu Xiong knew the prince's character, and because of Gu Changan's sudden change, he really couldn't grasp what this girl would do in the next second.
Especially when he saw the prince raising his hand, Gu Xiong immediately remembered the moment when Qin's wrist was broken, and cold sweat broke out on his back for no reason.
So he took the initiative and pulled Gu Changan behind him.
"General Gu?" The prince looked a little embarrassed.
Especially when he saw that the girl behind Gu Xiong, who was as clean as a little white rabbit, was snatched away from him, he felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Your Highness, I don't know." Gu Xiong explained respectfully, "This is the old minister's granddaughter, Gu Chang'an."
"I know." The prince said with a smile, "I just found out. Old General, your granddaughter has suddenly become so beautiful that I am very curious, so I want to take a good look at her face."
"Haha!" Gu Xiong had a smile on his face, but in his heart he was mocking the prince's thoughts.
"Is this... Gu Changan?" Gu Shirong interrupted their conversation.
He walked up to Chang'an and looked the beautiful woman up and down in front of him. "Grandpa, are you sure you are not seeing things? How could this be that ugly Gu Chang'an? When I walked into the courtyard just now, I saw this girl and thought she was the new little girl in the courtyard."
Gu Xiong ignored his grandson Gu Shirong, but glanced at Chang'an next to him. The warning in his eyes was obvious. Gu Xiong was worried and afraid at the same time, afraid that Chang'an would do something out of line and offend the prince.
The prince asked, "Gu Chang'an, other women would be very happy to hear the prince's praise, but why is there no smile on your face?"
Gu Changan lowered her eyes. She didn't even want to look at the prince, especially the desire in his eyes, which was so strong.
She felt disgusted just by looking at it. Her face was indifferent and her words were cold. "It's just skin. One cut and it's gone."
"..." The prince was slightly stunned. His words not only disgusted Chang'an, but also Bei Mingxuan and Bei Mingye who were standing beside him felt disdainful after hearing them.
Gu Xiong snapped, "How can you talk like that?"
Gu Changan looked at Gu Xiong innocently and muttered softly, "Open your mouth and speak."
"You..." Gu Xiong looked at Gu Changan helplessly. In his heart, he was extremely dissatisfied with the prince.
He felt it was a shame for his granddaughter to marry Crown Prince Gu Xiong. Even if the emperor granted the marriage and he was the crown prince, Gu Xiong was unwilling to do so.
Gu Changan's face was filled with childish stubbornness and grievance. "Your Highness, as the future ruler of a country, you wouldn't just want to hear those nice-sounding flatteries, right? Changan just said what he truly thought!"
"How dare you!" Sweat was already dripping down Gu Xiong's forehead. He was really scared. He was not worried about what would happen to the prince, but he was worried about the emperor.
After all, the Gu family was considered powerful at that time, and the emperor had wanted to find trouble with the general's mansion for a long time. If it were not for the fact that the military power in Gu Qingyun's hands could serve as a backing for the prince, the emperor would have taken action long ago.
"Hey! General Gu." Bei Mingxuan's voice was soft and tinged with a smile. "Why would the Crown Prince bother with a little girl? Besides, your granddaughter is right. In the eyes of the old general, is it true that the Crown Prince really doesn't know right from wrong and can't listen to the truth?"
