Chapter 183 Missing
She walked to the door, then slowly turned around, looked at Gu Weiang affectionately, and smiled slowly.
"It is Mulan's good fortune to meet you, Lord Marquis."
The sunlight shone on her body, making her whole body seem to be covered with a layer of light, and also made Gu Weiang's hands clench into fists tightly.
I'm afraid he himself didn't expect that this woman he met by chance would leave a mark in his life in the years to come.
Chu Qianlan acted quickly and gathered ten beautiful women that day and sent them to Prince Rui's Mansion together with Qin Mulan.
However, Prince Rui did not let Chu Qianlan and Gu Weiang in, but instead let Qin Mulan and the ten beauties in.
Gu Wei'ang couldn't guess what King Rui was thinking, so he could only go back first.
Prince Rui's Palace.
Prince Rui looked at Qin Mulan kneeling on the ground and snorted angrily.
"How dare you, Marquis Yong'an, give me the stuff you've already used yourself? Does he think I'm only fit to use his own junk?"
Qin Mulan slowly raised her eyes, allowing her most beautiful side to be fully presented in front of King Rui.
"Your Highness..."
She spoke slowly, and a tear fell instantly.
When a beautiful woman cries, I feel pity for her.
Even Prince Rui felt a little compassion and let go of his hand.
Qin Mulan took the opportunity, knelt down and took a step forward, threw herself on King Rui and hugged his legs.
"Your Highness, I was forced to do this."
Prince Rui raised his eyebrows.
"oh?"
"Then tell me how the Marquis of Yong'an forced you to do so."
After hearing this, Qin Mulan took a step back, knelt on the ground with her body tilted, raised her head slightly, and looked at His Royal Highness Prince Rui with tears in her eyes.
"That day, I saw your graceful demeanor on the stage, Your Highness, and I was drawn to you."
"But I am, after all, an ordinary woman. After seeing you, I thought of going to the mountain to light a stick of incense and pray for a good marriage with you.
"However, I never expected that we would encounter an accident on the road, and the carriage even fell off a cliff."
"I was being chased by thieves. I had no idea who was chasing me, so I fled all the way to the mountains and forests."
"It was Marquis Yong'an who passed by and saved me."
"I immediately explained my identity to him and wanted him to send me back.
However, he coveted my beauty and, despite my struggles, forcibly brought me back to the Yong'an Marquis's Mansion and took possession of me."
“I didn’t know your identity at the time, I just said you were extraordinary.
But he didn't take it seriously at all, and even said that he didn't even care about King Rui, let alone an insignificant wealthy businessman.
When Prince Rui heard this, he immediately glared at Qin Mulan.
"Are you serious?"
Qin Mulan nodded.
"Of course it's true. At that time, I asked him about your noble status and your deep love for His Majesty... But he immediately interrupted me and said... and said..."
"What else?"
Qin Mulan closed her eyes and gritted her teeth to say the rest of the words.
"He said you were ignorant, lacked ambition, and were arrogant and conceited. If it weren't for your mother's planning, he wouldn't even want to look at you."
"presumptuous!"
He shouted angrily and kicked the table in front of him to the ground.
"Gu Weiang!"
When King Rui heard this, he gritted his teeth in anger. He pinched Qin Mulan's chin and asked again.
"If you dare to tell a lie, I will kill you immediately."
Qin Mulan immediately kowtowed to show her loyalty.
"I guarantee that every word I say is true, not a single lie."
Upon hearing this, Prince Rui immediately stood up.
"Someone come!"
He said, "Follow me to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion, kidnap Gu Wei'ang, and question him."
His subordinate Qinglian hurriedly stopped him.
"Your Highness, you must not do this. The Marquis of Yong'an is extremely important to us, and now is a critical moment. You absolutely cannot conflict with him."
As she spoke, she glanced at Qin Mulan lying on the ground calmly.
"Moreover, you must not blindly believe what others say, lest you fall into their trap."
Upon hearing this, Prince Rui immediately snorted coldly.
"Are you saying that I can't even tell the truth from lies?"
Qinglian quickly bowed her head.
"I dare not. I just want you to think carefully. If the Imperial Concubine knew about this, she would definitely..."
Now when Prince Rui heard the words of the imperial concubine, he became angry and immediately interrupted her.
"Shut up!"
"I must go to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion now and make Gu Wei'ang kneel on the ground and beg for mercy."
As he spoke, he looked at Qin Mulan on the ground and said, "Come here, I will take you to confront him myself."
Qin Mulan trembled slightly when she heard this, then she slowly stood up and followed Prince Rui.
Prince Rui looked at Qinglian again.
"As for you, since you don't believe in me, then stay here and reflect on your actions."
Qinglian looked at King Rui's leaving back, a hint of loss flashed in her eyes, and then she saluted respectfully.
"Yes, I will follow your Highness's orders."
Hui'an Palace.
Concubine Hui was lying on the chaise longue, stroking the kitten in her hand out of boredom.
"That guy called Gu Jingchun, has he made any moves recently?"
Hearing this, Xing Luo, who was watering the flowers, immediately put down what he was holding and said respectfully:
"Our people have been secretly watching over there. It seems that everything is normal and there is no movement."
Concubine Hui chuckled.
"They went to such great lengths to send Gu Jingchun and the child to the palace. It must not be that simple."
Xing Luo speculated, "He must have been frightened by the last assassination attempt, so he rushed into the palace, hoping to save his life under the heavy protection of the palace."
"snort!"
"To save your life in the palace?"
"That's just wishful thinking. This is the most dangerous place. I'm afraid that Shen Hechuan is waiting for the right opportunity to reveal the child's identity to the public."
Concubine Hui wanted this place, and she couldn't help but use force when touching the kitten.
The kitten screamed in pain and ran away, far away from Concubine Hui.
This was a new breed of cat that had just entered the palace from the small country of Fanshu, and Emperor Rongcheng gave it to her as a reward.
It seemed to be a unique honor, but in fact it was given to Jiang Xianhao. Jiang Xianhao didn't want it, so he gave it to her.
Unexpectedly, after being in the palace for many years, her status is now not as good as Jiang Xianhao who has been "dead" for many years.
And the son who had been doted on by Emperor Rongcheng since childhood was not as good as the stubborn Shen Hechuan.
How could she not hate this?
No, she absolutely could not sit still and wait for death.
You must never give away everything that is within your reach.
At this time, the palace maid Xuan Ji rushed in from outside.
"My Lady, this is bad, this is bad."
"Why are you yelling for no reason?"
Concubine Hui shouted angrily, but Xuan Ji did not restrain himself at all, but continued:
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened. Qinglian, who was beside Prince Rui, just came to report that His Highness has disappeared."
