Shen Qingqiu was not blind, so she saw Gu Yanran's actions. When she walked towards her, she was already prepared.
As expected, Gu Yanran sprained her ankle when she walked in front of her, and tried to push her into the lake on both sides. Shen Qingqiu could have dodged it by turning around, but if she had dodged, Gu Yanran would have fallen into the water... Thinking that Old Lady Xu was not in good health these days, she would have severed the relationship between Gu Yanran and the Gu family.
But how could the old lady's love for her child be broken? If Gu Yanran fell into the water in such a bad weather, she would be lingering for a long time even if she didn't die.
Thinking of this, Shen Qingqiu sighed, and unexpectedly changed his mind and brought Gu Yanran back.
Gu Yanran hadn't expected this either. She kept panting and looking at Shen Qingqiu with some lingering fear. Why would she suddenly help herself?
Shen Qingqiu glanced at her coldly and said, "If you do such blind things again in the future, I will not show you mercy." He let go of Gu Yanran's hand and walked away.
Gu Yanran looked at her back, bit her lip, and said, "Shen Qingqiu!"
Shen Qingqiu looked back suspiciously.
But then she heard Gu Yanran say: "Tell Wang Qingluo to be careful!" After that, she didn't dare to talk to Shen Qingqiu anymore. She hurriedly looked around to see if there was anyone around, and left quickly.
Shen Qingqiu was thinking about what Gu Yanran meant. She knew that Gu Yanran wanted to marry the prince and become his concubine. Perhaps her words were specifically aimed at Wang Qingluo. But she soon changed her mind. No matter how stupid Gu Yanran was, she would never say such cruel words in front of her.
No matter what, I have to talk to Wang Qingluo first.
Soon she found Wang Qingluo, who was still eating snacks on the table. When she saw her, her eyes lit up. "Qingqiu!" She shouted, "I didn't expect you to have such a skill." She looked around and said, "You were set up to the stage, weren't you?"
Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but look at Wang Qingluo suspiciously, but she smiled, "What's so hard about this? You're not someone who likes to show off. And I happened to be sitting not far from Princess Eleven today. Her face is more interesting than a painting. There's nothing I can't see."
Shen Qingqiu was amused by her words, but then he heard Wang Qingluo say, "But if you continue to be a companion in the palace, it's not a good thing to offend a princess. Otherwise, I'll ask my father to think of a way to help you leave the palace."
Shen Qingqiu shook her head, "It's fine with me." She would find a way to leave the palace when she wanted to. She looked at Wang Qingluo again, "You are now engaged to the prince. Since you know that the prince is a man who is affectionate, you should be careful about your safety. Princess Changping is deeply in love with the prince. You two have had conflicts before, so you should be careful."
Wang Qingluo waved her hands nonchalantly, "I know. Besides, I've been busy with my wedding recently and haven't left the house at all. How dare Changping attack me in the Prime Minister's House?"
Seeing her like this, Shen Qingqiu didn't try to persuade her much.
After the palace banquet was over, he wrote a letter to Tu Jiu, asking him to secretly protect Wang Qingluo, and only then did he feel relieved. But who knew that Wang Qingluo would be so bold? When Shen Qingqiu got the news from Tu Jiu, he was completely stunned? "You said she ran away, is she going to run away from marriage?" Shen Qingqiu thought about Wang Qingluo's usual behavior.
Although she was unruly, she was not a willful person. She would never take the lives of the whole family of the Prime Minister's Mansion as a joke. As expected, Tu Jiu also shook his head, "Miss Wang still knows the truth. She didn't want to escape the marriage. She left a letter to the Prime Minister, saying that she would do everything she wanted to do before getting married again and go out to explore the world. After all her wishes are fulfilled, she will go home and marry the prince."
Shen Qingqiu couldn't help but cover his forehead when he heard this, "This is really her style." He then asked Tu Jiu, "What did the Prime Minister say?"
Tu Jiuzhi said honestly: "How could the Prime Minister dare to tell anyone about this matter? Naturally, he kept it a secret and sent someone to secretly follow the young lady and protect her in secret."
Shen Qingqiu raised the corners of his lips, "She has a good father." How could an ordinary person indulge his daughter to act like this? But Prime Minister Wang knew that if anything went wrong with the marriage with the prince, the whole family would be in trouble, but he still indulged Wang Qingluo.
"Tell our people to protect her in secret as well."
Tu Jiu nodded, of course, and finally said: "The people of Princess Changping have been following Miss Wang for a long time, and the people of the Prime Minister's Mansion have been left far behind. Our people are still following, if the people of the Princess' Mansion take action, Master, we are--"
Shen Qingqiu's eyes turned, and then they burst into a strange brilliance, "Of course we have to take action, but not in this way." He whispered a few words into Tu Jiu's ear.
Tu Jiu left soon. Shen Qingqiu didn't want to stay at the palace gate for too long, so she returned to the palace soon. However, she did not return to her room. Instead, she turned left and right and went to the East Palace.
Crown Prince Gu Tang was standing under the wall of the East Palace, looking dejected.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince is the heir apparent to the throne. Could he ever feel so dejected?" a voice came from behind.
Gu Tang turned around and saw Shen Qingqiu walking towards him slowly. A smile appeared on his lips. He really felt that this little girl was very bold. Not only did she dare to run out in the middle of the night, but she also dared to say such words to him, "Even if you become an emperor, you have all kinds of helplessness, let alone me, the prince?"
Shen Qingqiu smiled slyly, "If Your Highness told this to others, and if he told the Emperor, it would be a crime of disrespect."
Gu Tang smiled slightly, "Will you tell others?"
Shen Qingqiu pursed his lips in anger, but did not continue the topic, "Your Highness, is this for Wang Qingluo?"
Now it was Gu Tang's turn to be speechless. Shen Qingqiu curled his lips, "Heroes are often tempted by beauty, this is often the case in the world." He looked at Gu Tang again, "But I am very curious about Qingluo's personality. I think Your Highness should know. Although she was born in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she is simple by nature and is definitely not a good candidate for a Crown Princess. Even if there is no Princess Changping, Your Highness should have other choices?"
Gu Tang looked at the little girl who was only around his waist, and thought seriously for a moment... Wang Qingluo... Yes, why would he choose her? Such a simple girl who had her thoughts written all over her face was really not suitable for life in the palace.
But he still chose her, for reasons that even he himself couldn't explain.
Shen Qingqiu curled her lips and said, "There is something I think you should tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Since they were lovers, why didn't she give them a push?
——
Wang Qingluo did escape, but she didn't run far.
Even if the delicate young lady wanted to venture into the world, she couldn't stand the hard life outside. Just riding a horse for a whole day on the first day was enough to make her uncomfortable. After getting off the horse today, there were many red marks on her thighs. She didn't want to travel tomorrow at all.
She led her horse on the road, trying to find a hotel to stay, but before she entered the hotel, she saw a figure walking towards her. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the Crown Prince Gu Tang. Wang Qingluo could no longer care about anything else, and quickly got on the horse and ran away. If the Crown Prince saw her wandering around before her marriage, wouldn't it ruin the reputation of their Prime Minister's Mansion?
But when Gu Tang saw that she ran away as if she had seen a ghost when she saw him, he was extremely angry.
He galloped down from his horse, and with a few big leaps, he got on Wang Qingluo's horse. Wang Qingluo had no idea that the romantic prince had such skills. When she turned around and saw him coming, her eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost! Wang Qingluo's first reaction was to run away. Gu Tang grabbed her with one hand and drove the horse with the other, trying to stop the horse.
Wang Qingluo continued to struggle, but unexpectedly, both of them rolled off the horse.
"You don't want to marry me, so you want to run away?"
The man's voice was like breaking jade right in front of her ears. Wang Qingluo gritted her teeth and said, "Who wants to run away from marriage? I just came out for a stroll. Your Highness, we can't afford to be charged with such a serious crime as running away from marriage."
"Oh? Did I wrongly accuse you?"
As the two were talking, countless men in black suddenly emerged from nowhere, raised their knives and rushed towards them.
Gu Tang only brought two guards with him to chase the man. One guard took the initiative to help the two of them stop the sudden assassin, while Gu Tang helped Wang Qingluo up, and the two of them escaped on horseback under the escort of another guard.
"What's going on?" Wang Qingluo had never encountered such a situation before, and now she sat on the horse with a pale face.
Gu Tang said, "There are people watching our marriage everywhere. Even if you want to go out for a walk, you shouldn't be alone." But seeing Wang Qingluo's head hanging down and blaming herself, he didn't want to continue. At this time, a group of masked men in black clothes came straight at the two of them with knives. Seeing this, the guard quickly flew over and dragged the assassin.
As a prince, Gu Tang naturally learned martial arts, but it was not appropriate to take Wang Qingluo into danger now, so he rode away in a hurry.
But those assassins were after their lives. Halfway up the mountain, someone was shooting arrows at them. Gu Tang saw it but it was too late to dodge on his horse, so he used his body to block the arrow for Wang Qingluo. Even though Wang Qingluo couldn't see behind him, he could sense something was wrong.
"Prince, what's wrong with you!"
"I'm fine..." He said this with all his might, and then he took out a firework stick from his waist and sent out a distress signal, then he fainted from exhaustion. It was raining, and Wang Qingluo didn't dare to leave the prince alone here, nor did she dare to ask for a doctor, so they could only find a place to hide from the rain, and the two of them hid first.
At this time, the palace had already received the prince's signal for help.
Empress Pei summoned Princess Changping to come.
It was already late at night. Princess Changping came in a hurry. Just as she was about to pay her respects, she saw Empress Pei rushing out from behind the screen. Without saying a word, she slapped Princess Changping in the face!
Changping was completely stunned and shouted, "Aunt?!"
