Chapter 49 A Strategy



In Tinghua Garden, Gu Yunru applied medicine to Qingxing and blew gently at the same time.

"Miss, have you really thought it through and want to marry into the palace?"

Qingxing didn't know why her young lady suddenly changed her mind.

Gu Yunru bandaged her hand and sorted out the medicine bottles.

"Yeah, now that I've figured it out, I might as well enjoy it instead of struggling. What's wrong with being a princess?"

"But Miss, haven't you always said that you want freedom? If you become a princess, you will definitely have to learn a lot of rules..."

Qingxing thought that the young lady made this decision because of her, and she felt extremely remorseful and guilty.

Gu Yunru sighed, shook her head and said, "I've figured it out. No matter where I go, it won't matter. In this world, only power and status are the most important. Without these two things, no matter how much freedom you have, it will be useless."

Qingxing scratched her head half-comprehendingly, and was happy for the young lady as she suddenly became so calm.

At this moment in the palace, the princess had been asking people to look for news about Gu Yunru. Now, she finally received a letter via carrier pigeon, so she issued an order to have Gu Yunru brought to the palace for a few days.

The next morning, Gu Yunru packed her luggage and went to the palace.

Princess Tingya had been waiting for Gu Yunru to show up. Seeing her finally here, she excitedly came to her and said, "Yunru, are you okay? I was so worried about you these past few days."

"Thank you for your concern, Princess. I am fine."

Gu Yunru smiled. She didn't expect that Princess Tingya cared about her so much.

"I'm glad you're alright. I asked you to come to the palace to tell you that I heard that envoys from outside the Great Wall will be coming to the palace soon. They will definitely discuss marriage at that time. I'm unsure, so I wanted to ask you to come and discuss it."

Gu Yunru knew what she was worried about, and with a smile on his lips, he comforted her, "Princess, don't worry. In the next few days, you just need to recruit some handsome male musicians to come to the palace to play the piano for you."

"That's good, but what does this have to do with our plan?"

The princess really didn't understand whether the ideas she had in mind could really help her.

"Princess, think about it this way. The envoy from outside the Great Wall came to the palace not only to ask for a marriage, but he will also report back to outside the Great Wall about your behavior. If the king outside the Great Wall knew that your behavior was bad and you were fickle, he would definitely be opposed by the meritorious officials."

"What? You want me to destroy my reputation?"

Ting Ya was anxious. Although she was the only princess of Da Qi, she didn't need to destroy her reputation. If she was laughed at by others, what would she do? "Princess, please be patient. Reputation is a mirror of a person. In fact, only the princess knows what she is like. Others only know the princess by looking at the reaction of this mirror."

Gu Yunru was only thinking of Princess Chuyu. If she followed the same method, any outside suitors would be turned away. Even if they knew that Princess Tingya was extremely beautiful, they would not dare to openly marry this woman who might cuckold them at any time.

Tingya listened to her words and pondered the meaning of them. He paced back and forth in front of her, obviously not having made up his mind yet.

"It all depends on what the princess does. Running away is not a solution. You have to face it."

"I see, why don't you stay with me for a few more days in the air?" After Ting Ya returned to the palace, she either went to the Queen Mother or stayed in the temporary palace, which was boring. It was not easy to meet an interesting friend, so she couldn't let her go so easily.

"No, there are still matters of varying sizes to attend to in the mansion. Father will be bedridden when he returns, so as a daughter, I have to go back and fulfill my filial duty."

Gu Yunru was just using Gu's father as a cover. Tingya sent someone to escort her out of the palace. When she arrived at Xuanwu Gate, she happened to meet Xiaodengzi and couldn't help but exchange a few words of greeting.

"Little Stool, I didn't expect to see you again."

"It turns out to be Miss Gu. I am so sorry for my disrespect."

Gu Yunru raised her lips and smiled. Whenever she saw the small stool, she felt particularly close to it.

"Little Stool, what happened in your uterus these days?"

When Xiaodengzi heard Gu Yunru's question, he was obviously worried.

"What's wrong? Did something really happen to the little stool? How's Biluo?"

"Miss, Biluo is dead..."

Xiao Dengzi was also particularly sad that such a good person died like this.

Gu Yunru and Qingxing looked at each other, unable to believe the result.

"Why did it happen so suddenly? What happened?" Gu Yunru was determined to get to the bottom of the matter.

Xiaodiao looked around for a while, and when he was sure that there was no one around, he took a step forward and said in a low voice, "I heard that Concubine Shu had someone beat him to death. It was a horrible death."

"This Concubine Shu..." Gu Yunru was afraid that there might be eavesdroppers, so she swallowed her words halfway through.

"Little Stool...what about Biluo's family?" Gu Yunru didn't expect that she still couldn't protect Biluo, and she died alone under the power.

Xiao Dengzi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and choked up, "Poor Biluo, she doesn't have any family anymore."

"So..." Gu Yunru didn't come back to his senses for a long time. Xiao Dengzi remembered that he still had important things to do, so he left first.

Qingxing saw that the young lady looked sad and she also became sad.

"Biluo is really pitiful. The servants working in the air have no choice."

"Yes, their lives are all equal to money." Gu Yunru couldn't help but look back. Aren't there many dead souls in the deep palace? Concubine Shu could make someone disappear forever just by losing her temper.

She couldn't help but worry about Concubine Ying.

"Miss, let's go back quickly, otherwise we'll have to deal with the last incident again." Qing Xing urged, still feeling scared when she thought of what happened last time.

Gu Yunru vaguely guessed who had arranged this plan, and she also knew that Madam Gu would not let it go.

After returning home, I saw chickens and ducks flying around in the yard, and the poultry feathers were all over the ground, almost turning into a duck pen.

"What's going on?"

Gu Yunru looked at the group of people with dissatisfaction. Could it be that these chickens and ducks just happened to fly to Tinghua Garden? There were no other places, but her place had become a happy place for ducks and chickens.

"Miss, calm down. I don't know how these beasts flew out of the wall and landed in your yard. Don't worry, we will catch them back immediately."

Qingxing put her nose down and said, the whole yard was filled with the smell of chicken shit, which made her almost vomit.

"Don't you know that Miss can't stand the smell of these? Why don't you clean them up quickly!"

"yes."

Gu Yunru suppressed her nausea and walked into the house. As soon as she opened the door, she found an old rooster jumped out from inside, which scared her.

"Qing Xing, close the doors and windows tightly, don't let those things fly in!"
