Chapter 89: He said it was? Did anyone recognize him?
"If he says so, then it's him? Did anyone recognize him?"
At the same time, Bai Mu couldn't believe it when he learned that he had a brother.
The other party was actually the lowly slave he hated? !
Impossible, he has an older brother, why has no one ever mentioned it?
Bai Wei looked at him like a chicken with its feathers standing on end, and held her forehead with her hand. "Keep your voice down, or your parents will hear you, and you'll be in trouble."
Bai Mu and An Yun had forgotten about this elder brother, but any servant with a little experience in General Yongwei's mansion probably knew him.
Bai Mu gritted his teeth, his face flushed red, and he broke free from Bai Wei's hand:
"I'm going to find my father and mother, to prevent him from using tricks to deceive them again."
"Evil creature, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
Mrs. Bai and General Bai came side by side. Bai Lan behind them smiled at him, but in Bai Mu's eyes, the other party was provoking him.
Mrs. Bai sat down and looked at her youngest son below: "Mu'er, come and meet your eldest brother."
Bai Mu retorted without hesitation, "I don't have an older brother... Would my mother accept just anyone who comes to claim kinship?"
Mrs. Bai was so angry that her forehead was twitching. Seeing that Bai Mu's mind was worse than that of a child, she slapped him on the forehead.
"You are such a heartless kid. If your brother hadn't done that for you, how could he have been living outside for so many years?
Mrs. Bai felt uncomfortable when this matter was mentioned. She was usually very impetuous, but her eyes turned red.
If it weren't for her incompetence as a parent, how could Lan'er have been wandering around, so miserable, and had to live under someone else's roof.
She didn't dare to think too deeply about days like that.
Bai Lan observed her expression and reached out to hold his mother's hand: "It's not that difficult. Just consider it an experience given to me by God."
This scene of a loving mother and a filial son stimulated Bai Mu. Don't think he didn't know how two-faced this person was by nature.
He sneered, "You haven't thought about recognizing your relatives for so many years, why did you suddenly come back to recognize them? If you regarded me as a brother, wouldn't you have come to interfere and destroy our relationship when An Yun and I were having a fight?"
Bai Lan smiled gently after hearing this, and when he saw his father and mother looking at him, he admitted it frankly.
"Ayun is my fiancée. Since she doesn't like you, there's nothing wrong with the timing of my appearance."
Bai Lan sighed softly, "It's not that I don't want to come back, it's that I'm thousands of miles away and can't come back at all."
Mrs. Bai recalled what he had said about the evil deeds of the family that took him in. They never gave him enough food, but required him to work during the day and sleep only one or two hours at night...
How old was Bai Lan at that time? How cruel those people were!
"Alright, Bai Mu, you have no right to blame others. Yun'er's dejection is your own fault. It has nothing to do with your brother!"
"If you're still confused, go find a bucket of shit and clear your mind!"
Give him a chance, I am useless.
Bai Mu looked at General Bai and saw that he didn't say anything, so he knew that the matter was a foregone conclusion, so he left angrily.
Bai Lan didn't pay much attention to him, but talked about An Yun.
"Mother, I have already been to the Grand Tutor's Mansion. I hope you can come forward and handle the formalities."
Mrs. Bai hesitated after hearing this. "Lan'er, mother isn't worried about anything else. It's just that Yun'er just broke off her engagement with Mu'er, and now you're asking for her hand in marriage. Regardless of what happened to Grand Tutor An, Yun'er hasn't recovered her memory yet, so I'm afraid she won't agree."
Bai Lan smiled slightly: "Mother, I will take care of it."
The most important reason for him to come back this time, besides returning to the Bai family, is to marry An Yun home.
The next day.
Zhao Mingzhu stretched lazily. She instructed Qiao'er to prepare the luggage. Qiao'er said crisply:
"Princess Consort, everything has been prepared. I have checked multiple times to ensure nothing is missing."
Zhao Mingzhu nodded, then saw Qiao'er staring at her, and she belatedly touched her neck.
"Slap some more pearl powder on me later."
Ever since returning from Shoukang Palace, Gu Qingheng has been like a wolf seeing meat, with his strength increasing.
Zhao Mingzhu was frightened every time she met those lustful eyes.
But fortunately, it’s coming to an end today.
After an incense stick of time, Zhao Mingzhu, Qiao'er, Wuyun and Juzi were ready to go.
But as soon as they left the Eastern Palace, a team of imperial guards appeared and surrounded them on both sides.
Zhao Mingzhu felt something strange, and the next moment she saw Gu Qingheng getting off the carriage.
One of the imperial guards stepped out and said, "Your Highness, I'm sorry."
He waved his hand, and the imperial guards scattered. Seeing this, Zhao Mingzhu asked Gu Qingheng, "Your Highness, what is this?"
Gu Qingheng took her back and said, "I have angered my father, the Emperor, and he has ordered us to reflect on ourselves in the East Palace for ten days."
This means solitary confinement.
Zhao Mingzhu exclaimed, looking back. Why didn't she come earlier or later? Why was she just about to leave?!
"Why did Your Highness anger Father?"
"Because of Prince Jing."
Gu Qingheng noticed that Zhao Mingzhu looked back frequently and thought that she might be thinking about the pear blossoms and vegetarian food in Guoqing Temple.
"Princess Consort, Lihua will still be there in ten days, so there's no need to worry."
He was in a good mood, as this meant he had the opportunity to live and eat with Zhao Mingzhu for ten days.
Maybe in these ten days, her relationship with me will make rapid progress.
Zhao Mingzhu had just come out of Tingchaoyuan and was now going back.
She felt complicated for a moment, but she had no choice but to accept it. Under Gu Qingheng's supervision, she had to be more honest.
"Qiao'er, go get me something spicy and sour to eat."
You can only be happy after you whet your appetite.
Bo Ling, who had disappeared for many days, appeared and asked as soon as he came in:
"Your Highness, the news of Prince Jing's inhumanity spread throughout the capital overnight. Was it really our people who did it?"
Gu Qingheng tuned the strings of the zither: "No."
Bo Ling frowned: "Who is framing us? Did Prince Jing spread the news himself?"
The probability is too low. This trick has been available for so many years, why use it now?
Moreover, only a handful of people knew about this matter, and even he only found out about it at Nanfeng Pavilion.
The emperor and the empress dowager need not be mentioned.
It would do the two princesses no good to tell anyone about it, so there was no need for them to do so.
He suddenly thought of a possibility, his eyes fell on Zhao Mingzhu's head who was eating hard, and he was about to say something but stopped.
Zhao Mingzhu noticed his gaze and reacted the next moment: "Are you doubting me?"
After hearing this, Bo Ling quickly waved his hands and said, "That's not what I meant. I was just guessing that maybe the secret was accidentally leaked because of that incident at Nanfeng Pavilion."
This incident also reminded Zhao Mingzhu that it was indeed possible. After all, she was only trying to have a good time at the time and did not take many aspects into consideration.
So it was very likely that it was her negligence that caused Gu Qingheng to suffer...
Gu Qingheng adjusted the tension of the strings, looked at the guilt in Zhao Mingzhu's eyes, and said calmly:
"It may not be the Crown Princess's fault. Although few people know about this, it is not just you and me who know."
But he, the prince, seems to be the most likely one.
Gu Qingheng did not continue the topic, but asked Su Lu:
"Crown Princess, you've been to the Su family before. Did you notice anything unusual?"
Gu Qingheng played the piano casually, and the sound of the piano became ethereal.
Of course Zhao Mingzhu noticed it, but she couldn't say that the other party was reborn.
"It's a bit strange. She hasn't called me by my full name in a long time."
She stopped there.
Gu Qingheng nodded, but waved and said, "Crown Princess, come and learn the piano."
Zhao Mingzhu: Can I refuse?
