Chapter 61 I heard that if you stay with a fool for a long time, it will be contagious
Outside the Taiji Hall, after the chief eunuch received the news, he turned around and went in to report.
Emperor Jingyuan saw him come in and asked: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, during the archery lesson at the academy today, the Crown Princess's horse suddenly went berserk. Fortunately, the Imperial Guards arrived in time, and nothing serious happened."
Gu Qingheng, who was sitting below, frowned after hearing this. Emperor Jingyuan keenly noticed something strange about his son.
"Mingzhu must be frightened. Prince, should you go back to the East Palace first?"
Gu Qingheng stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave first."
Emperor Jingyuan nodded, looked at his disappearing back, and sighed: "The prince has changed."
The Grand Eunuch smiled after hearing this and said, "Your Majesty has been hoping that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess can live in harmony. Now your wish has finally come true."
Emperor Jingyuan's smile faded in an instant: "But my other son makes me a little worried."
Before daybreak, the Censorate submitted a memorial, alleging that Prince Jing had stayed overnight at the Nanfeng Pavilion, which showed his personal morality was lacking.
The Grand Eunuch watched without saying anything. This was a royal matter and he could not overstep his bounds.
"His Royal Highness Prince Jing has been away from the capital for many years, and he still has a playful nature. I believe he will calm down soon."
Emperor Jingyuan looked at the swaying bead curtain and suddenly asked, "Do you think this matter has anything to do with the Crown Prince?"
After hearing this, the eunuch suddenly knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, I don't understand."
Emperor Jingyuan's usually easygoing eyes had a sharp edge to them, and he continued:
"Or is it that Prince Jing harbors resentment towards me, leading him to commit such a depraved act?"
Both of these questions are difficult to answer. The former involves the prince harming his brothers, and the latter involves the prince's dissatisfaction with the emperor.
"I think neither of them is true." The eunuch said calmly:
"Your Highness has no reason to do so. And Your Highness Prince Jing has always admired Your Majesty, so how could he harbor resentment?"
Emperor Jingyuan leaned back against the dragon throne and said nothing.
"Forget it, pass the order down and put the matter of Prince Jing joining the Ministry of Personnel on hold for now."
The eunuch answered yes and walked out with a bow.
In the East Palace, when Gu Qingheng entered, he saw Bo Ling holding a silver needle and persuading her, "Your Majesty, your blood blister is too big. It will heal faster if you puncture it."
Zhao Mingzhu stretched out her hand tremblingly, then withdrew it in an instant: "Is there any option for conservative treatment?"
There were scrapes of varying sizes on her fair palms, and the bulging blood blisters were the most eye-catching.
Bo Ling shook his head: "Just puncturing the blister is the most conservative treatment."
An Yun, who was standing by, was eager to try: "How about we hold her down and you pick the blood blister."
Gu Yu was a ruthless man who didn't say much. He was about to attack immediately, and Zhao Mingzhu started howling at the top of her lungs:
"Murder, murder!"
It's not that she was being pretentious. The silver needle was so thin and long that she felt the pain before it even touched the flesh.
With that injection, she would confess all the bad things she had done.
Gu Qingheng approached, and everyone saluted: "Your Highness."
Gu Qingheng walked over and took the silver needle from Bo Ling's hand: "Crown Princess, it won't hurt."
Zhao Mingzhu looked at the shining needle tip. She wanted to retract her hand, but Gu Qingheng held it tightly. Zhao Mingzhu could only turn her head away and not look.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and after a moment, she felt a coolness on her hands.
"Alright, Princess."
Is that all? Zhao Mingzhu turned her head and said, "It doesn't hurt at all."
Gu Qingheng applied the medicine to her and bandaged her hands with gauze. He called Yinzhu in a calm voice:
"I heard that it was Miss An who tamed the horse, and Yinzhu took her to pick out some gifts of thanks."
After hearing this, An Yun naturally wanted to accept it but also to refuse it, and declined it.
Yinzhu extended her hand: "Miss An, please."
An Yun pulled Gu Yu and went to pick out the thank-you gift without looking back. There was no limit on the amount, so she had to take a lot back.
Gu Yu was taken out by her and glanced at the excited An Yun: "Your family is not short of money."
Master An's fondness for his only daughter can be seen from the long list of dowry, which includes shops on two streets.
"Who cares about money?" An Yun said confidently.
"However, Princess, do you think His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is such a true gentleman? He clearly doesn't like Mingzhu, but he still treats her with care and attentiveness, without showing any impatience at all."
Gu Yu had a blank expression on his face as he watched An Yun praising Gu Qingheng:
"You...tsk...is your love for Bai Mu real or fake?"
If Zhao Mingzhu had never come to her senses, then how could An Yun, who once loved someone wholeheartedly, not understand?
So Gu Yu really doubted whether An Yun really liked Bai Mu.
An Yun didn't even think about it: "Of course it's true."
Gu Yu smiled and said with pity: "That's too tragic."
She was talking about Bai Mu.
Yinzhu took An Yun and the other two to the warehouse. She opened the door and said:
"Miss An, you can take anything here as long as you like it. These three boxes of small yellow croaker are also for you, Miss."
When An Yun entered, she saw the eye-catching golden dressing table and exclaimed in surprise:
"It actually looks exactly like the one I had before."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw the jade bed. She was about to say this bed too, but suddenly she realized it.
It’s exactly the same, this is her bed!
An Yun bit her cheek and looked at Yin Zhu anxiously: "Are these things mine..."
The ones that were stolen.
Yinzhu smiled without saying anything, pointed to the three boxes beside her legs, then bowed and left.
Fortunately, the letter arrived in time that day, otherwise Miss An would have been beheaded.
Gu Yu saw An Yun standing there in a daze: "Why are you looking so sad?" She wasn't very happy just now.
An Yunsheng was dejected and told her that these things were stolen but miraculously appeared in the East Palace.
"I do not understand."
Why would Donggong steal...oh, not take away her furniture? Why?
Gu Yu roughly knew the reason.
"Because of Zhao Mingzhu."
An Yun clapped her hands after hearing this, suddenly realizing, "Damn it, it turns out Mingzhu had taken a fancy to it. Wouldn't it have been better if she had told me earlier that I would give her a set? Why would she have just stolen it away?!"
Then An Yun smiled smugly, "At that time, she said that this huge golden dressing table, the huge red coral pen holder, and the huge carved jade bed were too dazzling to look at. It turns out she was just saying one thing and thinking another."
Gu Yu: ...There’s no hope.
She held her forehead and said, "Should we move back? The servants are still waiting."
An Yun waved her hand and said, "Move away! I was so scared that day! I won't leave a single hair for her today."
Gu Yu walked out. He heard that if you stay with a fool for a long time, it will be contagious.
As soon as Gu Yu walked out, he ran into Bo Ling.
"Princess, are your nightmares better after sleeping? Or are they still as frequent?"
"It's okay, it rarely happens." It has basically stopped happening since I started hanging out with Zhao Mingzhu and An Yun.
After hearing this, Bo Ling grinned:
"In this case, I am relieved. I will send some medicine to the princess's residence in a few days."
After hearing this, Gu Yu said calmly, "No need. Just tell someone to send it over. The results will be announced soon, so we should prepare for the Spring Festival banquet after high school."
Bo Ling thought she didn't remember any of this at all and was somewhat flattered:
"A dull person like me may not be able to pass the imperial examination. Thank you very much for your kind words, Princess."
"I gave you the jade pen, and I know you are capable. Why underestimate yourself?"
"Princess..." She actually still remembered this jade pen.
At this time, An Yun came out holding the red coral pen holder, panting with exhaustion:
"Come and help me, I'm so heavy."
Gu Yu frowned, ignored Bo Ling, and walked towards her.
Naturally, she didn't see Bo Ling's bright eyes following her from behind.
