The next morning, after seeing off Prince Wu, Molan dismissed her companions, closed the door, and punched the pillow. After venting her anger for a long time, Molan stood up and regained her usual composure.
After finishing a cup of nourishing soup and putting it down, Mo Lan suddenly had an idea. She turned sideways to look toward the lake, and a possibility occurred to her.
It was three days later when she learned that Gu Yankai had returned. Gu Yankai had made a special trip to submit a visiting card to come to the Prince's Mansion, and the card was handed to the Prince Wu. The Prince Wu did not inform Molan until Gu Yankai came.
During these two days, Molan had not left her room. When she learned that Gu Yankai was coming, she knew that her chance had come.
Lunch was served in the banquet hall, and Gu Yankai was led by the butler to the main hall. He paid his respects to the prince and his wife, and then to the crown prince and princess.
After a few pleasantries, Gu Yankai bowed to Wu Shile and said, "Prince, when I returned from the capital, Princess Jinyi had a message for me to pass on to Princess Qinyi. I wonder if you could help me?"
Prince Wu had a warm smile on his face and said, "Of course it's convenient. I'll have a few words with the princess. Marquis Gu, please go sit in the flower hall next door."
Gu Yankai stood up and bowed, saying, "Thank you, Prince. I will take my leave now." Then he nodded to the prince and his wife, and followed the servants' instructions to the flower hall.
The servants who were accompanying him also withdrew. When only four people were left in the room, Prince Wu spoke up, "Princess, do you know that there are things you can say, and some things you say can kill people."
At this moment, the warm smile that had always been on the face of the Crown Prince Wu disappeared, and turned into a cold expression. It is said that people in high positions do not show their likes and dislikes on their faces. It is obvious that the Crown Prince Wu is far inferior to the prince.
The prince drank his tea at ease, just like an audience member, while the princess hung her head, not knowing what she was thinking.
Molan quickly replied, "Don't worry, my lord. I know the importance of this matter. Since I married into the Prince's Mansion, I have been one with it. If you are worried, please send someone to go with me."
With a click, the prince put down his teacup and nodded to Prince Wu. Prince Wu turned to Molan and said, "Since we are family, I trust you, Princess."
Molan went to the flower hall alone, and Gu Yankai stood up to greet her.
After sitting in the main seat, Molan took the initiative to speak: "I wonder what message Sixth Sister brought to me?"
Gu Yankai glanced left and right, took two steps forward and said, "Princess Qinshu, the emperor wants you to remember that you are a princess of the royal family."
After saying that, Gu Yankai returned to his original position.
Molan's hands trembled, and she looked straight at Gu Yankai and said, "Is it today?"
Gu Yankai didn't nod or say anything. After a while, Molan spoke again, "Weiyang Lake in the east."
After the two looked at each other for a moment, Gu Yankai nodded and said, "Princess, find a way to hide it when you return."
After pulling the corners of her mouth, Molan asked hopefully, "If, if my report is successful, can I return to Beijing?"
The entire flower hall was silent for a long time. Molan smiled sadly and said, "Well, as a princess of the royal family, I must not let the royal family down."
The two men didn't speak again until the banquet started. The butler came over to invite Gu Yankai, and then Gu Yankai bowed and took his leave.
Molan then followed him to the banquet hall. As they drank and chatted, she felt as if she had returned to her past life, when she married into the Marquis's mansion. After two more glasses of wine, Molan, slightly tipsy, murmured, "My dear."
