Chapter 250 Cause of Death
"The younger sisters have been here with their older sister for a while, so they'll head back now."
After they finished speaking, the two bowed and led their maids out of the north courtyard.
After the two left, Gu Shuyan opened the letter.
The letter was very simple, basically describing Li Yingxue's situation in the Crown Prince's residence, but the content was obviously exaggerated.
"It seems the Crown Princess is really anxious."
Gu Shuyan chuckled as she handed the letter to two maids. After reading its contents, the two maids burned the letter.
"What does Miss intend to do?" Mingyu asked.
"I can't refuse the Crown Princess's kind invitation. Let's get ready, it's time for us to go on stage and perform."
"Yes, I will give the order right away."
After Mingyu finished speaking, she withdrew, but Pearl reminded her, "Miss, the Crown Princess is the eldest daughter of the Duke of Anguo's mansion."
Gu Shuyan knew what Pearl was worried about—it was the second young master of the Duke of Anguo's mansion! They had all heard from Xu Feng that the Duke of Anguo's mansion had intended to marry him off to the second young master of the Luo family. Now that the second young master of the Luo family had turned out like this, it was inevitable that the Crown Princess would cause her trouble.
"The Crown Princess has managed to hold this position for the past few years, so she must be quite capable when it comes to matters of principle. It's not like she would blame me just because Luo Er got into trouble."
Besides, it was His Majesty who made the decision, so she can't blame herself for it.
When the heir of the Duke of Anguo had his incident, the emperor left the palace for a period of time. Everyone thought that the emperor intended to completely hand over power to the crown prince, so the people of the Duke of Anguo's mansion were overjoyed for several days.
Unfortunately, the emperor was secretly investigating the cause of Luo Yu's death, and the final result was that the Duchess of Anguo had taken action against him.
As for the second son of the Duke of Anguo's mansion, he made such disrespectful and cryptic remarks about his elder brother in public, and was naturally considered an accomplice of the Duke of Anguo's wife.
Thus, the unsuspecting Second Young Master Luo was inexplicably punished by the emperor, who also strictly forbade him from ever entering the world or inheriting a title. The Duchess of Anguo, out of consideration for the Duke of Anguo and the Crown Prince, was not punished, but was still confined to her residence.
"That being said, I still think that Miss should be more careful."
In Pearl's view, although the Crown Prince's residence was not like the imperial palace, how different could it be from the imperial palace?
Both are vying for power and status, and one wrong step can lead to utter ruin. For the Crown Princess, who is in such a power center, to ask for help from her young mistress is inherently dangerous.
Seeing that Pearl had thought things through, Gu Shuyan nodded.
"So I didn't intend to cooperate with her; I was just willing to grant her one request."
Gu Shuyan, who was also a royal wife in her previous life, knew exactly what kind of person the Crown Princess was. Back then, Gu Shuyan had tried her best to please the Crown Princess for Lu Youming's sake, so she naturally understood her ways quite well.
While Gu Shuyan was preparing for the Crown Princess's birthday celebration, Ouyang Jing and Gu Yingjie packed their things and prepared to return to the Ouyang residence.
Speaking of which, since Ouyang Jing married into the Gu family, apart from returning home once every three days for her family's homecoming, this is the first time Ouyang Jing has truly returned home.
Logically speaking, a new bride should have a long period of adjustment after getting married, but because Ouyang Jing had to "teach" Gu Shuyan before, she didn't feel any adjustment at all.
The young couple's blissful life was the envy of everyone.
