Wan Xin continued, "What the Ninth Prince said is,
The now restored Miss Chang'an is even more beautiful than Princess Ya back then.
It is precisely because of this that some people are jealous of my young lady's appearance, which is why my young lady was poisoned and disfigured by a villain."
Speaking of this, Wan Xin's tone was filled with both heartache and resentment, "If I were to find out who murdered my young lady, even if I die, I will turn into a fierce ghost and make that person suffer neither death nor life."
Following Wanxin's words, there was the sound of the teacup in Gu Shirong's hand falling to the ground.
Changan looked at him and saw beads of sweat on his forehead. "Brother, are you hot? Why are there so many sweats on your forehead?"
"No... no, yes, I was burned." Gu Shirong explained stiffly.
The old general narrowed his eyes and had a moment of doubt in his heart.
But what he was most worried about at this moment was Chang'an, a Chang'an that he could no longer understand, a Chang'an that did not play by the rules, and he didn't know what Chang'an would do next in front of the princes.
Especially when he thought about Changan's performance yesterday, the old general felt a sense of panic in his heart, "Changan."
"Grandpa, what do you want me to do for you?" Chang'an smiled.
"You have seldom gone out in all these years." The old general was eager to let Chang'an leave.
But due to the Crown Prince's face, he couldn't directly order Chang'an to leave. "Your appearance has recovered today. I wonder if there is any place you want to go? Let Wanxin accompany you to look around."
Changan's eyes revealed joy, "Really?"
"real."
"That's a good idea." The prince suddenly said, "It just so happens that I have nothing to do today. Wherever Changan wants to go, I will accompany him."
The old general glanced at the Crown Prince, his heart filled with disapproval. "How dare you bother the Crown Prince? Chang'an, if you find it boring to be alone, why not let Shirou join you?"
"Grandpa is right." Chang'an said with a very easy-going demeanor, "The Crown Prince is the heir apparent. If the Emperor looks for the Crown Prince and can't find him, and if he's blamed, Chang'an and the General's Mansion can't afford it."
Just as the prince was about to speak, he was interrupted by Chang'an's next words.
“If I were to say where I want to go the most, it would be the Lakeside Pavilion at Jiuli Bridge.
I've heard people mention it more than once in Chang'an: when the snow falls heavily in winter, the Lakeside Pavilion at Jiuli Bridge is the best place to view the snow.
Changan said, looking at the Fourth Prince, "I wonder if the Fourth Prince could accompany Changan?"
After he finished speaking, the Fourth Prince was visibly stunned.
The Jiuli Bridge Lakeside Pavilion was mentioned to Chang'an by the Fourth Prince. He had promised to take Chang'an to the Lakeside Pavilion to enjoy the snow after a heavy snowfall.
After Chang'an finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Bei Ming Ye.
Especially the prince was confused and angry. The two looked at each other with hatred, but they both put on fake smiles.
Gu Shirong already disliked Changan, so he deliberately said, "Gu Changan, what do you mean.
The Emperor has already granted the marriage between the Fourth Prince and Shi Rou. Are you still trying to seduce the Fourth Prince by trying to seduce him? Don't think that just because your face has healed you can disregard the Emperor's decree.
"Asshole!" The old general slapped Gu Shirong in the face. "What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Look at yourself, do you act like a big brother? You're simply a joke."
"Then..." Gu Shirong was angry but didn't dare to vent it, but he was unwilling to just give up and let her make a fool of herself in public and it would be difficult for her to justify herself.
So he ignored the old general's expression and continued boldly, "Gu Chang'an, why do you want the Fourth Prince to accompany you?"
Chang'an was neither hurried nor slow, calm and composed.
She looked at Bei Mingye with a smile in her eyes, "Fourth Prince, do you know why Chang'an wants you to accompany him? I wonder if the Fourth Prince agrees?"
This question was thrown to Bei Ming Ye.
"Since Miss Chang'an has proposed it, there is no reason for this prince to refuse." Although Bei Ming Ye is not afraid of the prince, he will not offend the prince openly. At most, he will let the prince suffer in silence.
Chang'an asked again, "Then, I wonder what the Fourth Prince thinks of my eldest brother's words just now, saying that it was Chang'an who disregarded the imperial edict and tried to seduce the Fourth Prince in various ways. Do you believe it?"
"Of course it's unbelievable." Bei Mingye said, "Shirong, even though you lost a finger yesterday, you can't be so unreasonable and domineering as to try to damage your sister's reputation. Besides, the General's Mansion cannot afford to be charged with disregarding the imperial edict."
"...Yes." Gu Shirong was a little dumbfounded. As far as he knew, although the Fourth Prince seemed to be on good terms with Chang'an on the surface, he hated Chang'an from the bottom of his heart. Why would he be speaking for Chang'an at this time?
Chang'an suddenly heard Bei Mingxuan's voice, "Oh, so Gu Shirong is an idiot."
Gu Changan smiled and ignored Bei Mingxuan.
Instead, he looked at Gu Shirong, with no disguising the mockery in the corners of his eyes.
But she spoke in an extremely gentle and obedient manner, "Shirou told Chang'an that the Fourth Prince had told her more than once that after a snowfall, the Lakeside Pavilion at Jiuli Bridge is the best place to enjoy the snow. The scenery there has a unique charm, so Chang'an thought of asking the Fourth Prince to take her there."
Gu Shirong frowned, and asked in disbelief, "Is that all?"
"Otherwise, what do you think, brother?"
"Second sister." Shirou walked in. "The snow is getting heavier. I wonder if Grandpa will let us go out?"
Gu Shirou walked to Chang'an's side, as if she just remembered that she had not yet saluted the crown prince and the two princes.
"Shirou, greetings to the Crown Prince, the Fourth Prince, and the Ninth Prince."
"Forget it." The prince looked at Gu Shirou, then at Gu Changan and Bei Mingye, "Are you planning to go somewhere?"
“Replying to the prince,” Gu Shirou replied, “Early this morning, my second sister went to see Shirou.
Shirou's face was restored thanks to her second sister. Remembering that she rarely left the house, she mentioned to her the pavilion in the middle of the lake that the Fourth Prince had mentioned. Today, with the heavy snow, was a perfect day for viewing the snow. She was thinking of asking Grandpa to allow her and her sister to go out together.
"What a coincidence." Chang'an smiled. "Grandpa just said that I rarely go out of the house, so he asked Aunt Wanxin to accompany me. Then he was worried that I would be bored alone, so he said that he would let my sister accompany me. I haven't even told you yet, and you're here."
Gu Shirou smiled and looked at the old general, "Grandpa, do you take what you said seriously?"
"Seriously! If you are willing, tell the butler to prepare the car now." The old general immediately ordered the butler.
Although the old general didn't know why Shirou and Chang'an cooperated so well, at least one thing was certain: Shirou was helping Chang'an.
Regardless of what these two people are up to, at least they can avoid the prince for now.
The old general really looked down on the prince.
Chang'an looked at Bei Mingye again, "Then I'll trouble you, Fourth Prince."
