"What's going on?" A familiar voice suddenly came from the door.
The prince walked into the courtyard.
The Crown Prince was quite curious when he heard that the Seventh Prince was punished by the Emperor for something and had been staying in the palace.
Although as a prince he could always get accurate news first, the prince always wanted to see the reason.
Seeing someone coming, Gu Cheng tried to control his expression and asked, "Why is the prince here?"
It was obvious that he came to his house at this time just to laugh at his joke.
The prince said elegantly: "I heard that my seventh brother was scolded by the emperor, so I wanted to come and see what happened."
"It's just that I listened to the words of some villains and acted a little impulsively." He wanted to pass it over with just a few words, not wanting his enemies to laugh at him.
The prince clearly did not want to let the other party go, and continued to chase: "Seventh brother, why don't you consider the consequences of your actions? You blindly listened to the words of the villain and did something that angered the emperor."
"You are not a child anymore, and you need to think more before doing things." The prince spoke from his brother's perspective, putting on airs.
Gu Cheng had a cold face and clenched his hands tightly behind his back. The prince only took the position of prince because he was his elder brother. If he had been born earlier, it would be uncertain who would have taken the position.
What's more, short-term failure does not mean anything, the long-term is the most important.
It is still uncertain who will control the world in the end, and the future will tell who will win!
Gu Cheng looked embarrassed: "My brother is right."
"Why did the concubine fall to the ground?" The prince was puzzled. He swept his eyes around and took in the situation.
The broken porcelain pieces scattered around were obviously the result of a quarrel, and the prince's eyes narrowed slightly.
Gu Cheng explained abruptly: "I accidentally dropped the porcelain shard on the ground just now. Is there anything else, my brother?"
The pale explanation did not convince the prince. The porcelain pieces all over the floor were not caused by carelessness. The surrounding porcelain had long disappeared. It must be because of venting his temper.
"Seventh brother, you have to change your temper. It's not good to get angry all the time." The prince acted like a good guy and tried to persuade him in a friendly manner.
Even though he knew that Gu Cheng's words were a secret order to expel him, he pretended not to know.
The prince's eyes fell on Gu Yanran, and he had always been caring for her. Gu Yanran looked very similar to his wet nurse, and he had remembered her in his heart at the first glance.
Although she has now become the Seventh Prince's concubine, it does not affect his care for her at all.
"The weather is cold and the ground is cold, so please don't sit on the ground." A pair of hands appeared in Gu Yanran's eyes. The slender hands were strong and powerful. When she raised her eyes, they bumped into the prince's eyes.
"Thank you." Gu Yanran stood up with the help of the other person and stood aside, not daring to say more.
"It's so lively." Princess Changping suddenly appeared at the door and watched the scene.
She also knew that Gu Cheng had been punished, and rumors had long been circulating on the streets that the Seventh Prince had led troops to besiege the Gu Mansion.
I wanted to come over to ask why I failed, but as soon as I came in, I saw the prince helping Gu Yanran up with his divine hands. There was a ruthless flash in his eyes, and his hand holding the door tightened instantly.
The next second, she hid her emotions very well, as if the darkness in her eyes had never existed.
Princess Changping has liked the prince for a long time and cannot bear to see anyone get close to him. It seems that the prince can only let herself touch him, and once a woman approaches, jealousy will instantly pierce through her heart.
The prince said softly: "Even if there is any misunderstanding, don't act rashly. After all, you married the concubine."
Because Gu Yanran looked a bit like a wet nurse, the prince had been trying to help her as much as possible. In his eyes, it was just simple help, but in the heart of Princess Changping, it was extremely glaring.
The prince has already stamped her mark on him, how could he allow others to defile it?
Princess Changping had already forgotten why she came here, and her heart was filled with anger towards Gu Yanran.
After the two people who were watching the show left, Gu Cheng calmed down a little and said, "Hurry up and pack your things. You are making a fool of yourself for nothing."
Gu Yanran lowered her head, making it impossible to see the expression on her face.
Princess Changping became more and more angry as she returned to the palace. She simply could not stand the prince's gaze falling on other people.
Filled with resentment, a plan suddenly flashed through his mind.
"If you want to seduce the prince, your appearance is still a little bit lacking. If your face, which you are so proud of, is destroyed, what else can you use to seduce him?"
On the second day, Princess Changping found a random excuse to ask Gu Yanran to come out. She looked at her standing in front of her and smiled softly: "Have some hot tea."
There was a cup of fresh tea on the table, and Gu Yanran was not at all prepared.
Princess Changping watched the other party drink the tea, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes.
"I came to you today to ask you something."
"Did you tell Shen Qingqiu about this?"
Princess Changping stared at the other person's face, trying to get an answer.
Gu Yanran remained silent and did not make any response.
Princess Changping sneered: "Whether it was the textile factory or the rebellion, you were involved in the failed plans."
"If you didn't do anything, I don't believe it."
A cold look fell on Gu Yanran, as if he could see into her inner thoughts.
Gu Yanran did not show any sign of nervousness, and asked calmly: "What on earth did Princess Changping come to see me about today?"
"What is it?"
Princess Changping sneered and looked at him wantonly: "What did you do yourself? Do you need to tell me?"
"You used your ridiculous face to seduce the prince, but you never even took a good look in the mirror to see how ugly you are! You're already the seventh prince's concubine, yet you blatantly seduced the prince!" These words rang out in the room like thunder, so aggressive.
Gu Yanran was surprised. She didn't do anything, but why was she misunderstood by Princess Changping?
She tried to explain: "My Lord, did you misunderstand me? I didn't..."
Before she could finish her words, Princess Changping slapped Gu Yanran in the face: "Bitch!"
"Who gave you the courage to seduce His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"
A slap landed on Gu Yanran's face again.
Gu Yanran covered her face tightly. In just these few days, she had been hurt again and again.
Princess Changping insulted him without any reason: "You are not a faithful wife! Do you think you can insult the Crown Prince? Put away that disgusting smile of yours!"
Gu Yanran's steps were a little flustered. A feeling of discomfort rose from the depths of her mind. She felt dizzy and seemed like she was about to fall to the ground in the next second.
Princess Changping saw this scene, and a hint of pride appeared in the corner of her eyes: "Is the medicine taking effect?"
"What did you do!" Gu Yanran's face was full of panic. Thinking back to everything she had done when she entered the room, she suddenly realized: "That cup of tea!"
"Inviting you here today is a trap in itself. What happened before is just some polite words, the real highlight is yet to come." The eerie words rang out in the room, and Gu Yanran shuddered.
The Princess Changping in front of her was no longer the same person she had seen before, as if she had become a different person. The coldness between her brows made her feel scared, terrified of what was about to happen next.
Everything in front of her seemed to be shaking. Gu Yanran was unable to support her body and fell heavily to the ground.
At the moment when she was about to close her eyes, she saw Princess Changping walk up to her with a sinister smile.
Gu Yanran fell into darkness...
Gu Yanran woke up from her coma and was still in the same room as before she fell into the coma. Nothing seemed to have changed.
There was a sudden pain on her face. Gu Yanran reached out to touch it. The next second, her eyes widened instantly.
There was bright blood in his palms, and his face was uneven, as if he had been stabbed by something.
Pursuing beauty has always been a girl’s top priority. Panic-stricken Gu Yanran hurriedly looked for the bronze mirror in the room.
When I looked at myself in the mirror, I completely collapsed.
"Why is this happening? What happened?" The person in the mirror was still her, but her familiar face had been destroyed. Her fair face was covered with bloody marks, which were drawn bit by bit by someone with a knife.
My mind suddenly recalled what happened before I fell into a coma.
The hatred that Princess Changping had for him, the words she said before she fainted, all these accumulated together, the final result was clear.
The wound on her face was obviously caused by Princess Changping. Just because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helped her yesterday, the other party held a deep grudge against her.
The pain on her face came in waves, and tears dripped from the corners of her eyes. She was no longer a pretty face in the mirror, and anyone who saw the ugly marks would stay away from her.
"Princess Changping!" Gu Yanran roared loudly and cried bitterly.
She didn't even dare to return home, afraid to let others see her ruined face.
There are scars all over his face, and even if time allows it to heal, it will never return to its original appearance.
Blood and tears mixed together, his entire appearance was unrecognizable, as if a ghost had descended into this world.
Waiting for night to fall, Gu Yanran wrapped herself with the gauze in the room, and finally she had the courage to walk out.
In the Seventh Prince's Mansion, Gu Cheng was under house arrest and unable to go out. While he was strolling in the courtyard, he happened to meet Gu Yanran returning from outside.
He was filled with anger and shouted: "Where did you go today? You just came back now."
Gu Yanran staggered to her knees in front of Gu Cheng: "Save me! Gu Cheng, save me!"
Gu Cheng looked at the other person's strange appearance, covering his entire face without revealing anything, and was extremely confused: "What are you doing..."
"Princess Changping is jealous of my beauty! She thought I wanted to curry favor with the prince and ruined me!" Gu Yanran cried loudly and hugged Gu Cheng's legs tightly.
"She destroyed my face with a knife!"
The veil around her head fell off, and her ruined face was clearly revealed in front of Gu Cheng.
At that moment, the frightened Gu Cheng subconsciously took a step back and wanted to escape from the tragic scene.
Gu Yanran was no longer the same as before. Her face was covered with scars and blood, and in the dim night, it looked like a ghost had descended upon her.
Gu Cheng had never seen such a scene before, and shouted angrily: "Take her away, take her away quickly!"
