Chen looked at her daughter in surprise, "You want to?"
Gu Yarong curled her lips, "Mom, don't forget, we came to the capital to seek wealth and glory. Although the Marquis's Mansion is rich, the only one who is truly rich is the Marquis's family. The third family is poor, and there is also a Meng family who is suppressing us. You are a concubine and I am the daughter of a concubine. Our life is rich, but it is only a little better than before. It is not worth it for us to come all the way to the capital just for these."
Chen already understood what her daughter was thinking. She swallowed and asked, "What do you want to do?"
After all, he is the emperor. I'm afraid it's not as easy to accomplish things as it was in the past?
But Chen was not afraid, because her daughter's path was the same one she had taken and succeeded on. If her daughter succeeded, she would lead the whole family on a journey of glory.
Gu Yarong said: "I already have an idea, just look at me, mother."
——
Gu Yanwei was watching Gu Shaohe practicing martial arts in the training ground.
Logically speaking, young men of this age are basically just showing off, but Gu Yanwei still watched with great interest. After all, being able to go back to his wife's home with her in such a beautiful spring day and check on her brother's homework is probably the most blissful thing for an ordinary family.
After playing with the gun for a while, Gu Shaohe wiped his sweat and walked towards Gu Yanwei with some embarrassment.
"emperor."
Gu Yanwei patted him on the shoulder and also saw the character of this brother from his mother's side.
I am shy and introverted to begin with. If I say something bad now, I will probably be depressed for several days. "You played well, but you can still improve. You need to practice more in the future."
Gu Shaohe was praised and even clenched his gun tightly and nodded repeatedly.
Seeing that he was sweating all over, Gu Yanwei just said, "Go to the inner room to wash up, and then have a cup of tea with me."
Gu Shaohe nodded, and the two of them went to the inner courtyard together. While Gu Shaohe went to the inner room to wash up, Gu Yanwei leaned against the window of the flower hall to read the memorials for a while. The mottled shade of the tree was a bit annoying, and when he looked up, he saw a beautiful girl in front of him, about fifteen or sixteen years old.
Gu Yarong held a cup of warm tea in her hand and lowered her head shyly, "Your Majesty, I just saw you reading for a long time, I'm afraid you must be thirsty, this is the tea I made myself."
Gu Yanwei's eyes fell on her. Judging from her clothes and appearance, she didn't look like a maid. "Who are you?"
Gu Yarong said: "My daughter Gu Yarong."
Gu Yanwei had heard of this name and nodded. After all, he was someone who had crawled out of the harem, so how could he not see the thoughts of the little girl in front of him? But after all, she was from the Marquis' Mansion, so he had to give some face to Gu Sanlang who sacrificed his life for the country.
Gu Yanwei took the tea from her hand, took a sip, and said, "You go down, I have something to discuss with your brother later."
Gu Yarong watched him drink the tea, how could she bear to leave now?
When Gu Yanwei looked up again, he felt something was wrong. He was feeling hot all over.
If he didn't know what was going on, he would be stupid. Gu Yanwei looked at the shy girl in front of him with disbelief. It wasn't that he didn't have his guard up... It was just that he didn't expect a girl of fifteen or sixteen to be so bold. Wasn't she afraid of losing her head if she failed?
Gu Yarong just lowered her head shyly at the moment, so she had no way of seeing the expression on Gu Yanwei's face.
"Your Majesty, I see that you don't look well. Shall I help you go to the inner room to rest?" Gu Yarong stepped forward to help Gu Yanwei.
But he raised his hand and pushed it away, "No need."
Gu Yarong knew the power of the drug, so she stepped forward shyly, "Your Majesty, you can hardly stand, shall I help you in?"
Gu Yanwei gave her a cold look and was about to speak.
"Who are you going to help go in?" It was Shen Qingqiu who suddenly appeared outside the door.
She looked coldly at the man and woman in the room. Gu Yanwei's face was flushed, but his eyes were still clear, so she felt relieved.
Seeing that it had come to this, Gu Yarong was even more reluctant to let go of Gu Yanwei, "Sister Qingqiu... The emperor is not feeling well. I will take him to the house to rest."
Shen Qingqiu smiled, not knowing whether it was because of her boldness or stupidity, "You sent him in. Men and women should not touch each other. Didn't your mother teach you this principle?"
Gu Yarong said: "Ordinary people naturally don't touch each other, but the emperor is the Son of Heaven. How can the Son of Heaven be like ordinary people? Yarong naturally puts the health of the Son of Heaven first."
Shen Qingqiu said: "If that's the case, I'm already standing here, what are you still doing here?"
Gu Yarong was hesitant and unable to speak, but Shen Qingqiu had already walked over and supported Gu Yanwei's other hand, "I still have to ask the emperor, do you want him to go in, or do you want me to?"
Gu Yarong put on a pitiful expression and looked at Gu Yanwei. She was a beauty after all, but the emperor and Shen Qingqiu had been married for a long time, and she was so aggressive, how could she be as gentle and considerate as herself?
But unfortunately, her flirting was seen by a blind man, and Gu Yanwei didn't even look at her.
He just looked at the top of Shen Qingqiu's head lovingly, "Qiu'er, why do you have to say such things? Are you deliberately testing me?"
He pulled his arm out of Gu Yanrong's hand, and fell on Shen Qingqiu with a weak look, "Help me go in and rest, I'm really tired."
Shen Qingqiu knew that he had been practicing martial arts after the poison was cured, so how could his body be so weak? He was probably pretending.
But she was still worried, so she helped him into the house.
Gu Yarong wanted to follow him in, but Jin Cai, who served in the Marquis' Mansion, was always unruly. She immediately put her hands on her hips and said, "Miss Yarong, I respectfully call you Miss. If you follow me in now, don't blame me, a servant, for not knowing the rules. I will beat you with a stick!"
As he spoke, Jin Cai raised the stick in his hand.
Seeing her like this, Gu Yarong stamped her feet fiercely, "Damn you, I will remember you! You will suffer the consequences in the future!"
Jin Cai sneered, "Just mind your own business!"
Her daughter has always been a person who seeks revenge. After something like this happened, she didn't believe that the daughter would be able to forgive Gu Yarong?
Shen Qingqiu entered the house, originally intending to pour a cup of tea for Gu Yanwei, but she did not expect that the man who was so weak outside the house just now would suddenly gain strength and hug her with heat all over his body, "Qiu'er, stop giving me tea, the cup of tea just now was already too much for me to bear."
Shen Qingqiu heard that his tone was not right, and he immediately pinched his pulse. He immediately became angry, "She actually gave you such a drug!"
He was so bold as to do such a thing in the Marquis' Mansion. Did he really think that the guards around Gu Yanwei and himself were all fake?
Gu Yanwei said, "I remember that her mother, Chen, relied on this method to successfully become Gu Sanlang's concubine. A daughter is like her mother, so it's not surprising that she is using this method now."
Shen Qingqiu was still furious, "You are an emperor, you drink whatever is given to you? If this was poison, would you drink it?"
Gu Yanwei felt a little aggrieved, but soon he turned all his grievances into love...
…
The two people stayed in the room for the entire afternoon without coming out. Anyone who knew what happened would know what happened.
At night, Gu Yanwei left the courtyard of the Marquis' Mansion first. "The night view of the capital should be nice tonight. I'll wait for you outside. Come out after you have dealt with the affairs of the Marquis' Mansion."
Shen Qingqiu nodded, and watched Gu Yanwei leave the Marquis' Mansion.
Afterwards, she went to Meng's room. Her son Meng was already waiting for her. When the accident happened, Jin Cai had asked someone to tell Meng about it.
“Qingqiu——” Meng saw Shen Qingqiu coming and hurriedly went to greet her, “I’m sorry, I really didn’t know she would do what she did today.”
Shen Qingqiu said: "Hurry up, Auntie, I know this has nothing to do with you."
Meng was relieved, then frowned and asked, "Then how do you plan to deal with it?"
Actually, this matter can be considered a big deal. In the most serious sense, giving the emperor drugs is a capital crime. But in the least, this happened in his own house after all, and giving drugs would not be a crime, so it is not a death sentence at all.
So what to say now depends entirely on Shen Qingqiu's thoughts.
Shen Qingqiu saw that Meng was in an awkward situation, so he raised his hand and poured her a cup of tea. "Don't worry, Auntie. I won't take her life."
It's not that she was generous. After all, Gu Yarong was just a girl who simply wanted to climb up the social ladder. She was just a little stupid. She didn't cause any substantial harm to her and Gu Yanwei, and she didn't want to take her life.
After all, she is a girl who just came back, and Gu Shaohe is the only male in the third room. If this matter gets out of hand, it will not be good for Gu Shaohe.
Shen Qingqiu also met Gu Shaohe today. He had a different personality from his sister. He was a rare down-to-earth young man, and Shen Qingqiu had a good impression of him.
"I have informed all the servants to keep it a secret. The only ones who know about this today are you and me. As for Gu Yarong, she actually has no big impact on me and the emperor. We are back to the palace today, and even if she has any more ideas in the future, she will not be allowed to enter the palace. But if she stays in the Marquis' Mansion, I don't know how much trouble she will cause with such ignorant ideas in the future."
Mrs. Meng nodded, "I know. I have had contact with these two mother and daughter. They are not really vicious, but they are indeed a bit stupid. I will keep Mrs. Chen in the mansion in the future. After all, she is a woman in the inner house. I don't think she will cause any big trouble. As for Gu Yarong, she is also at the age to get married."
"With her personality, marrying into a rich family would only harm her. I will find her a husband of ordinary origin and stay away from the capital."
Mrs. Meng had thought the same thing before. However, she had originally planned to educate Gu Yarong for a period of time before sending her away. However, she had never expected that such a thing would happen less than a month after the two of them entered the mansion.
We have to put the agenda on the table early.
Shen Qingqiu reminded her again, "Auntie, you should just leave this matter to the courtyard of the third room and handle it yourself."
Shen Qingqiu was able to arrive in time today because he learned from the kitchen that Gu Yarong had taken a cup of tea to the front hall with a strange look on her face.
