Chapter 21 Chapter 21



She was just thinking about Xue Luan in the original book when she heard the joyful voice of the young master in reality: "Mother!"

When Gu Jinke came to his senses, he saw a young man in brocade clothes running excitedly towards him from the steps in front of him.

She was dressed in a bright and fresh goose yellow dress, her face was as white and smooth as a peeled egg, her round eyes were clearly black and white, the corners of her lips were curved high, full of purity and innocence.

Lively and vigorous, very eye-catching.

Xue Cang's stern and serious expression suddenly became unbearable. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he took a step forward to greet her: "Luan'er."

Xue Luan ran to her side affectionately and called her sweetly again, "Mother."

Gu Jinke looked at this scene with a fleeting smile in his eyes.

No matter what the original book is like, Young Master Xue is undoubtedly happy now.

With family members treating you like a jewel and good friends by your side, you have no worries.

Xue Cang looked his son up and down, then suddenly came to his senses, solemnized his expression, and turned to Gu Jinke: "Your Highness, I am sorry for being disrespectful. Luan'er, come and pay your respects to Your Highness."

Xue Luan quietly poked his head out from his mother's side and glanced at Gu Jinke who was standing with his hands behind his back. His eyes were round and his emotions were a little complicated.

He inadvertently met Gu Jinke's gaze. The pair of cold and beautiful phoenix eyes that he remembered as looked at him, but it seemed as if she was looking at someone through her.

His eyelashes trembled subconsciously and quickly drooped.

Joy, anger, worry, sadness, fear and shock. When facing Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, he can now gather four of the seven emotions: anger, worry, fear and shock.

The remaining anger and fear she felt, as well as the curiosity and worry she felt after her good friend Li Yuxin fell in love with her.

The touch of the cold sword against his neck was still there. He quickly looked away, but his body reflexively stood up from his mother's side and bowed properly: "Greetings, Her Royal Highness."

Gu Jinke's fingers moved slightly. Was he too scared last time?

So scared.

Xue Cang cast a look over them and saw that the two had strange expressions. Immediately, a look of understanding flashed in his eyes: There is indeed something fishy going on with these two people!

He trusted Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess so much just now! I feel that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is open and honest, so there should be nothing wrong.

Humph!

Gu Jinke naturally noticed Xue Cang's gaze and thought that she was still worried about the Queen's questions.

Looking at the simple and innocent young Master Xue now, and remembering the person in the original book who was alone in plain clothes crying in front of Li Yuxin's tomb, she rarely interfered and said something.

"Master Xue, just check on the young master. As for the rest, just follow your heart. Don't be blinded by one thing or rush to seek medical treatment."

In the original book, Xue Cang had no intention of marrying Xue Luan into the royal family. As long as he doesn't be blinded by one thing now, or tries all kinds of methods desperately, with Xue Cang's vision, and lets Xue Luan choose someone she likes, relying on the status of the Xue family, Xue Luan's life should not be too bad.

In the original book, Xue Luan's marriage was arranged entirely by the Xue family's wife and husband. Although the other party had a good reputation, judging from what she saw today, Xue Cang's unconcealed love for Xue Luan, it seemed a little hasty.

Perhaps the choice in the original book was also influenced by the intense royal struggle and the complicated relationship with Li Yuxin.

Everything has just begun now. It would be better if Xue Cang could prepare early.

After she finished speaking, she nodded slightly, put her hands behind her back and left.

In front, next to the carriage driven by Xun Ji, Sang Yi had already squatted and bowed to her with a smile.

"Your Highness."

Qingyi is gentle and graceful, like a pure and clean lotus.

Xue Luan, who had been secretly observing Gu Jinke, immediately shifted his gaze away.

He remembered this person; he was the waiter who had accompanied Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to the Crown Prince's banquet last time.

Ever since Li Yuxin said that she liked Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, he made up his mind to help Li Yuxin.

His eyes were immediately fixed on Sang Yi, unable to hide his scrutiny.

He still remembered how Her Royal Highness the Princess walked through the Princess's Mansion with her arms around him as if no one was around! This is the little servant that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess loves very much!

Little waiter!

His eyes widened.

She already has a beloved servant, and even needs the servant to pick her up after she leaves the government office! Should he persuade Axin not to decide to like the Princess Royal just based on her appearance?

Xue Luan fell into deep thought. Sang Yi over there noticed his gaze, raised her eyes slightly to look at him, then retracted her gaze calmly and looked at Gu Jinke gently.

Xue Cang, who stayed where he was and was still thinking about Gu Jinke's meaning, was unusually confused.

However, she took a look at her son's unconscious gaze and changing emotions, and carefully recalled the eye contact between her son and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess just now, and thought about the words left by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and finally she realized it.

Could it be that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is hinting at herself?

Telling her not to be blinded by one thing, does it mean that she should not be misled by the Crown Princess's reputation for cruelty and violence and deny her?

Do you want to discover a different and real Princess Royal through the voices of the outside world?

Don't try any desperate measures. Does that mean she shouldn't avoid the royal family's selection of a prince and marry Xue Luan in a hurry?

Do you still want to follow Luan'er's wishes?

She looked at her son who was still staring at Gu Jinke and sighed in her heart.

This is simply explicit.

Xue Cang couldn't help but want to scratch his head, but thinking about her image, he could only pat his youngest son on the shoulder: "Okay, Luan'er, we should go back."

I must go back quickly to inform my husband and discuss everything in detail! !

Gu Jinke got on the carriage and leaned lazily against the wall. Sang Yi smiled and knelt down beside her, pouring her a cup of tea: "Your Highness, please enjoy."

Gu Jinke took it and moistened his throat. After she paused, Sang Yi took it and put it away in time, then washed her hands with warm water.

"Your Highness, you must be tired after a day on duty. Can Sang Yi give you a massage?"

Gu Jinke raised his eyes and looked at him carefully.

It's not an illusion, Sang Yi - something is indeed different.

It was different, too attentive and considerate, as if testing someone.

Cross the line?

Her eyes became dangerous, the corners of her almond-shaped eyes slightly raised, and the corners of her lips curled up in a wicked way.

When Sang Yi was looked at by her, his body tensed unconsciously for a moment. But he quickly lowered his eyes and tried to relax his body. Sang Yi, stay calm!

He seemed unaware, and even moved a little, his posture becoming more natural, and said with a smile, "Your Highness?"

Gu Jinke suddenly withdrew his gaze and said "hmm" lazily.

Sang Yi's whole body suddenly relaxed, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, also fell. He washed and dried his hands again before giving Gu Jinke a massage to relax him.

Gu Jinge closed her eyes, and Sang Yi finally dared to raise her eyes and glance at her secretly.

The Princess Royal just now was someone she had never seen before. She was not the one she met in the Princess's Mansion, who was cold on the outside but gentle and indulgent on the inside. Instead, her appearance just now was closer to the Princess Royal in the rumors!

Is this the real her?

His heart trembled, but he became inexplicably excited.

The carriage stopped at the Princess's Mansion. Gu Jinke opened his eyes and suddenly asked, "Sang Yi, do you still remember your request when I kept you here?"

Sang Yi was stunned, how could he not remember? It was a person who was like a floating duckweed who wanted to find a place to settle down and live a miserable life.

Gu Jinke didn't look at him, but seemed to be able to guess his thoughts: "This is what I promised, I can give it to you."

Even if I am no longer a princess, I will try my best to give him the best.

Sang Yi lowered his eyes: "I know."

He knew she would give it to him. He had guessed it when Gu Jinke asked him about his wish before they set out last time.

But after only a few days of separation, he tasted the bitterness of life and could not help but become greedy.

Gu Jinke chuckled: "Good to know."

She couldn't give anything else.

After she finished speaking, she got off the carriage, with a slender figure and a cool and noble temperament.

Sang Yi lowered her eyes and smiled. Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was truly heartless.

But, Sang Yi could only know this.

Human greed is uncontrollable. Once it exists, one must work hard for it.

Just like standing out from a group of servants in the palace.

He carefully packed the things in the carriage, then got off, trotted to catch up with Gu Jinke, bowed, and then followed her gently.

The palace was busy preparing for the soul-calling ceremony for the fifth princess.

Gu Jinxiu had just drunk a bowl of precious blood-replenishing medicine in the Zhaoxian Palace of the virtuous monarch. The cheeks that were white and rosy yesterday have lost their color, and her wrists are wrapped thickly with white gauze.

Xian Guijun looked at her with anger and distress: "Who asked you to take this job?"

One knows how to love his own child. He has spent countless efforts to raise her from a tiny cradle to her present age. Although she is not his own child, she is better than his own.

Gu Jinxiu lowered her eyes and smiled gently: "My daughter asked for it herself. The Fifth Princess is my biological sister. How could I bear it?"

But Lord Xian Guijun would not believe it. The Fifth Princess was spoiled by the Empress and had gotten whatever she wanted since she was little. How could she have such a good relationship with the neglected Gu Jinxiu? What's more, one of them is a scholar and the other is a martial artist, so they are completely unrelated.

All they had was the friendship of listening to the Grand Tutor's lectures in the Shangshufang when they were young and the friendship of being both princesses of the royal family.

He looked at the child in front of him who was smiling gently. After years of getting along, he was vaguely aware of something. His eyes were stern and he asked, "You want to fight?"

Gu Jinxiu was not surprised. Anyone who could sit firmly on the throne of the Four Lords would not be stupid. Moreover, she revealed it on purpose because she wanted his help.

Xian Guijun was of high birth and was her nominal father. He was very much favored by the Emperor and was her best helper.

She smiled bitterly: "Please help me, father. I want the Queen Mother to look at me more."

Xian Guijun originally wanted to reprimand her, but when he saw her bitter smile and thought of the Queen's neglect of the child, his eyes became hot and he felt sorry for her. He could only throw his sleeves in anger and turn away: "Impossible!"

The princess has been chosen. Even if she has a bad reputation, how can she be easily replaced?

To fight for that position, one general would have to sacrifice thousands of lives, and how much pain and risk would one have to endure?

He turned and left. Gu Jinxiu looked at his back and smiled gently, with a firm smile.

Xian Guijun will definitely help her. She is Xian Guijun's child. They will prosper and suffer together.

What's more, he dotes on her so much.

In addition to setting up the temple, the masters also calculated the birth date of the man who was suitable for the marriage according to the birth date of the fifth princess, and sent the royal family to search for him.

Everything went on in an orderly manner and no one noticed that in Zhaode Palace, the Fifth Princess' fingers were trembling slightly under the brocade quilt.

Gu Jinke left the court the next day and was detained by Fang Rui, the chief steward of the empress: "Your Highness, the emperor wants to discuss something with you."

Gu Jinke raised his eyebrows and followed him.

In the palace, memorials were piled high on the imperial table. The empress sat behind the memorials, rubbing her brows.

She looked a little tired these days.

Gu Jinke bowed, and the Queen then put down her hand and looked at her, then ordered calmly, "Princess, we need some blood of our loved ones to set up the temple, go get some."
