Chapter 2 Save Me Save Me Save Me
Zhao Mingzhu, who was about to breathe a sigh of relief and prepare to stand up, suddenly woke up. She stared at Qiao'er blankly:
"Gu? What kind of Gu?"
Without even turning around, Qiao'er said, "Crown Princess, have you forgotten? It's that Western Region Gu we paid so much for. It even cost us a hundred taels of gold."
It turned out that Zhao Mingzhu also knew that she relied on trickery to marry into the Eastern Palace, and would most likely only make people dislike her, so she thought of a way to control Gu Qingheng through the Western Region Gu on the wedding night.
Zhao Mingzhu slowly squeezed out the mask of pain:
"Yes, how could I have forgotten? Qiao'er, can you tell me more about the effects of that Gu?"
She emphasized the tone of the word "gu". Qiao'er turned around after hearing this. She touched her young lady's forehead in confusion, but she didn't feel sick either.
"This Gu from the Crown Princess can make the person who takes it completely devoted to the first person they see. The cup in front of you contains the mother Gu, and the one in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has the child Gu."
Zhao Mingzhu's expression was incomprehensible after hearing this, and her heart exploded again.
Save me save me save me save me!
There's actually this thing going on, then why doesn't this damn plot synopsis mention it at all?!
"Qiao'er, what do you think would happen if I drank all this Gu Ruo?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao'er understood and looked at her abdomen with wide eyes, even more panicked than her:
"Oh my God! Princess, why did you drink it all? What should I do... What should I do? Oh my God, will I die if I drank it all?"
Seeing the other party panicking like a chicken, Zhao Mingzhu said: "..."
She knew that Qiao'er didn't know. Zhao Mingzhu rubbed her solar plexus and could only comfort herself by saying that fortunately she drank it all and didn't put a curse on Gu Qingheng and leave any trouble.
Zhao Mingzhu thought it should be okay. Even if she drank all the mother-child Gu, the most that would happen would be that she would fall in love with him?
Let’s have another Narcissus love story...
The night grew darker, but the glass lamp in the study remained lit. After Gu Qingheng entered the study, he took off his wedding gown and slowly washed his hands in a copper basin.
"It's burned."
Someone behind him immediately nodded and said, "Yes, Your Highness."
Before he left, he thought of Zhao Mingzhu in the main courtyard:
"Your Highness, would you like to send more secret guards to keep an eye on Zhao Mingzhu?"
He thought that the other party would be in great danger tonight, and was ready to go in and collect the body, but he didn't expect that Zhao Mingzhu actually escaped.
Gu Qingheng's ten fingers emerged from the water, like jade carvings, as slender as green bamboo, and with a loose touch when wiping.
"Well, if she still wants to buy poison or something, I'll give it to her."
Although she didn't know why the other party suddenly terminated the plan, she entered the East Palace with a mission and would not take action only this time.
"Yes, I will give the order right away."
The next day, it was bright outside, and when Qiao'er came in with toiletries, she saw Zhao Mingzhu sleeping soundly. She laughed secretly because someone had said last night with a worried look on his face that he would stay up all night to think of a way to get rid of the poison in his stomach.
"Crown Princess, Crown Princess, please don't sleep. You have to go to the palace to pay your respects today. It would be bad if you are late."
Qiao'er put down the copper basin and went to call Zhao Mingzhu, but she opened her eyes and said in horror:
"Late? My attendance is perfect!"
Qiao'er didn't understand what she said and asked what she meant by perfect attendance. Zhao Mingzhu grabbed her hair and looked around before she remembered that she had worn it last night.
She instinctively wanted to keep her perfect attendance, but then her face fell. What a life of a beast! Even after traveling through a book, she still cared about perfect attendance.
Then Zhao Mingzhu sat up straight and put her hair behind her back.
"Nothing, just a nightmare."
Qiao'er nodded after hearing this, and then began to dress her up. She had to be fully prepared because she was going to the palace today.
So Qiao'er made her an elaborate bun, put on the Five Phoenixes Rising Sun Crown, and aligned the Dongzhu Luanfeng Hairpin. She adjusted the tassels and looked at Zhao Mingzhu in the bronze mirror, saying with satisfaction:
"I knew this outfit suited you, Crown Princess. You look naturally elegant and graceful. Your appearance will surely charm His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and allow him to stay here tonight. Perhaps a young master will be born soon."
Zhao Mingzhu was dozing off, but after hearing this, she looked up at the face in the mirror. To be honest, the face was indeed quite good-looking.
Her face is like a lotus, her eyes are clear as autumn water, and there is a dot of cinnabar on her forehead.
At first glance, she is a charming female supporting role.
It hurts, it hurts so much.
But Zhao Mingzhu was not going to change. She liked herself being surrounded by wealth and jewels.
I don’t want to live in poverty anymore!
However, Zhao Mingzhu turned around and said to Qiao'er earnestly:
"Qiao'er, please don't try to match me with the Crown Prince anymore. He's a rare talent, we can't reach him. From now on, we should just live peacefully in the East Palace."
There was no way she could give up her comfortable and wealthy life and then jump back and forth between Gu Qingheng and the heroine.
Survival is her ultimate goal in the future!
Qiao'er was confused by what she heard. Her young lady had tried every possible way to marry into the family, and now that she finally got her wish, she inexplicably changed her mind?
But the same thing goes, she would blindly follow whatever Zhao Mingzhu said.
"Princess, I understand."
Qiao'er didn't think Zhao Mingzhu would really give up on Gu Qingheng after what she said. She thought of a possibility and then secretly said:
"Crown Princess, have you fallen in love with someone else again?"
Then he whispered a devilish word: "Who is it? Let's find a way to get him."
Zhao Mingzhu was stunned when she saw the face in the bronze mirror. She quickly turned around and covered Qiao'er's mouth:
"No, no, no, important things should be said three times."
When she first traveled through the book, she had never felt the same way about her original body's arrogance and arrogance, but now she actually felt a little bit of it.
Zhao Mingzhu's personal maid actually suggested that she, a married woman and daughter-in-law of the royal family, should have an affair...
The most frightening thing is that she remembers this maid as a loyal servant...
Zhao Mingzhu thought that the Zhao family should invite an expert to take a look.
Zhao Mingzhu was about to give Qiao'er a serious lesson when someone outside said:
"Crown Princess, have you finished dressing? His Royal Highness has some official business to attend to, so he will go to the palace to see His Majesty first. You don't need to rush, just follow slowly."
Seeing this, Zhao Mingzhu could only shake his head and whisper to Qiao'er:
"I won't do that, not in my entire life. Qiao'er, please don't ever say that again!"
After hearing this, Qiao'er nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.
Zhao Mingzhu was very skeptical whether the other party really understood, but now was not a good time to ask. After she finished speaking, she took a deep breath, then stood up, put on her outer dress, and walked out.
Zhao Mingzhu politely nodded to the person waiting by the door, and the other party said:
"My name is Changhe, and I am your Highness's attendant."
Zhao Mingzhu nodded, wondering if the other party had heard Qiao'er's words, then turned around and went to complain. She said:
"Guard Changhe, sorry for the wait."
Chang He was very modest and polite, saying, "You are too kind, Princess. I just arrived, so I can't say I've been waiting for long."
