Chapter 101 Whose Scheme?
The Crown Prince did not refute Anguo Gong's words.
He was not in a position to handle the matter now, and judging from the Duke of Anguo's expression, he still needed to appease his father-in-law.
"Don't be afraid. In a few days, I will go to your residence to propose marriage and marry you as my concubine."
The Crown Prince offered a rare, gentle word of comfort to Gu Yingxue before leaving the courtyard with the other ministers.
After everyone left, Gu Yingxue buried her face in Fei'er's chest and burst into tears.
"Fei'er, why did it turn out like this? Didn't you say that this medicine would definitely be fine and that the Third Prince would definitely have relations with me?"
Gu Yingxue spoke with questioning words, but her tone clearly conveyed more grievance than anything else.
The thought of the Crown Prince marrying her as a concubine made Gu Yingxue feel hopeless.
Everyone in the capital knows that the Crown Prince's residence has dozens of wives and concubines, big and small. This minor concubine title is probably only given to him because he is a daughter of a marquis.
Once she enters the Crown Prince's residence, she might still be subjected to gossip and bullying. It's nowhere near as good as marrying the Third Prince as his principal wife.
“Miss, this medicine is indeed fine, otherwise His Highness the Crown Prince wouldn’t have it.”
Fei'er paused at this point, glancing cautiously at Gu Yingxue, "Did the Third Prince discover something, which is why he replaced the person with the Crown Prince?"
Hearing Fei'er's words, Gu Yingxue suddenly raised her head.
"Are you saying that I was outsmarted by the Third Prince?"
Yes, she clearly followed the Third Prince into the room and deliberately rubbed the medicine powder on Lu Youming, but how did it turn into her and the Crown Prince being accused of having sex?
Moreover, she had little recollection of what happened afterward, so she feared that Lu Youming really was behind it.
What a Lu Youming! Not only does he not like her, but he also schemed against her, causing her to lose her virginity to the Crown Prince and be forced to marry into his household. She will never let him get away with this.
Gu Yingxue didn't particularly like Lu Youming to begin with, which is why she harbored resentment towards him in such a short time.
But she forgot that she was the one who wanted to scheme against others in the first place.
Losing her virginity in exchange for the position of a prince's consort was a sure win for Gu Yingxue; however, she unexpectedly stumbled and became the crown prince.
Hidden in the shadows, Gu Shuyan was also dumbfounded by the sudden turn of events.
According to her plan, the person inside could not possibly be the Crown Prince. So where did things go wrong that allowed Lu Youming to escape?
Could it really be what Fei'er said, that Lu Youming outsmarted the Crown Prince?
But looking at the guard who was being ignored by everyone, Gu Shuyan felt that something was not right. What exactly went wrong?
Lost in thought, Gu Shuyan didn't come to her senses until Gu Yingxue had already been escorted away by the Duchess of Anguo. Looking at Ouyang Jing, who was quietly waiting for her, Gu Shuyan was about to step forward when she saw Lu Youming being helped out by guards not far away.
"Your Highness, are you alright?"
Seeing Lu Youming's flushed face, the guard said worriedly.
"It's alright. Has the doctor arrived yet?"
Lu Youming's voice was somewhat suppressed, and it was clear from his appearance that he had also been drugged.
"Can Lu Youming really outmaneuver the Crown Prince?"
Gu Shuyan had a big question mark in her mind. Based on her understanding of Lu Youming, it was not difficult for her to think of this. But with time so tight, how could he, who had already been drugged, lure the Crown Prince over?
Or did he know all along that Gu Yingxue was plotting against him?
