In this journey, countless waves carried her forward, and what she thought was her own growth was nothing in the face of the calculations of others.

Baili Chengyou's "favor" made her feel a little moved. She was about to sink, but now she was suddenly awakened by a basin of cold water.

"Third Princess, His Highness has asked his subordinates to pick you up."

Meng Guxue was lost in her own thoughts when A'er's voice suddenly came from afar.

Meng Guxue looked towards the direction where the voice came from, and saw that A'er's face was anxious, which showed that he came in a hurry.

"Princess, when His Highness turned around and found that you were gone, he was really shocked. At this critical moment, you are unable to protect yourself, so you must not be careless."

"I will take you to Qiushi Palace right away."

Meng Guxue stared at A'er who walked towards her, her eyes were dark and full of meaning.

Even a rough-minded person like A'er felt vaguely uneasy when he saw Meng Guxue like this, and asked anxiously: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Guxue slowly shook her head and suddenly said, "Are, did you buy the Gu I asked you to buy?"

Upon hearing this, A'er immediately nodded and took out a small round box from his arms.

"Princess, this is the Double-Word Gu. You can either inhale it or swallow it."

Meng Guxue took the round box, smiled and nodded to A'er, "A'er, thank you, can you take me out of the palace?"

Arya looked puzzled when he heard this, "Princess, aren't you going to Qiushi Palace?"

Meng Guxue shook her head. "There is a banquet tonight. The Fourth Princess should be there too. I need to prepare well."

A'er hesitated for a while and nodded, "Then I will take you back home."

Meng Guxue smiled and said yes.

The two of them walked on the palace road. Meng Guxue thought for a moment and said, "Are, do you have anything else to save your life? It doesn't matter if it's poison or poison."

Ah Er was slightly startled, then nodded, "As long as the princess wants it, I will do my best to find it for her."

Meng Guxue nodded thoughtfully and strode out of the palace.

A'er tilted his head to glance at Meng Guxue, and always felt that there seemed to be something different about the imperial concubine.

After the eldest prince returned home, he couldn't wait to go to the side courtyard.

He saw a handsome figure standing in the yard from afar, and couldn't help feeling happy.

"Young Master Jin!"

The people in the courtyard turned around when they heard the voice. It was Shen Yuanbai, with an extraordinary appearance and a cold temperament!

The eldest prince walked quickly into the courtyard and said with a smile, "I have already taken charge of tonight's banquet as you requested. It will be held on the Qinglian Boat!"

Shen Yuanbai's brows relaxed upon hearing this, and he bowed to the eldest prince, "Congratulations, Your Highness. This will take your plan one step further."

The eldest prince slowly approached Shen Yuanbai, his eyes moving across his face, carefully tracing his eyebrows and eyes, and the more he looked, the more he liked him.

This "baby" was introduced to him by his fourth sister.

Although the fourth sister and he are not born of the same mother, he had a good relationship with the fourth sister's mother when her mother was still alive.

Because of this relationship, he took good care of his fourth sister, and the relationship between the two siblings was quite close.

A few days ago, his fourth sister suddenly invited him out, and when he went, she was accompanied by such a wonderful person.

When he first saw it, his eyes almost popped out!

He has seen countless beauties over the years, but when he counted them carefully, he found that few could surpass the young man in front of him.

He had a lustful thought in his mind, and immediately asked his fourth sister for the person. However, his fourth sister said that she had chosen this young man because he was not only handsome, but also extremely intelligent and could be of great use.

Later, after much persuasion, the fourth sister finally agreed to lend the young man to him, saying that he would only serve as an advisor.

At that time, he sneered in his heart. How could the beauty who was in his palm escape?

When the time comes, if I use the secret medicine of bliss on this young man, then my wish will naturally come true!

But he didn't expect that after the young man sat down, his remarks were so eye-opening.

He just said a few casual words and the young man gave him a plan, which sounded great to him!

Since this young man was really needed, he had to suppress the urge to hug him in his arms and just do his best.

But now when he saw this young man, he couldn't help but feel itchy in his heart...

Thinking of this, the eldest prince couldn't help but reach out to Shen Yuanbai.

"Your Highness, the evening banquet will begin soon. Today's plan is of vital importance and cannot be neglected."

Shen Yuanbai's voice was so soft and gentle that the eldest prince stopped what he was doing.

He smiled awkwardly, "Mr. Jin, what you said makes sense. I'll come back to look for you after tonight's work is done."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuanbai bowed respectfully and said, "Farewell, Your Highness."

The eldest prince looked back every few steps as he walked out of the side courtyard, then turned around to look for the silver beads again.

In the eldest prince's mansion, everyone knows that the imperial concubine is of nominal importance, and the one who has been favored in this mansion for so many years is Concubine Yinzhu of Chunlin Courtyard.

When the eldest prince arrived at Chunlin Courtyard, Yinzhu was trying on new clothes.

The eldest prince put his arm around Yinzhu's waist and began to touch her all over.

Yinzhu had a charming look on her face and gently pushed the eldest prince, "Your Highness, please stop making trouble. We have something important to do tonight~"

The eldest prince is already distracted.

Over the years, he has had countless beauties around him, all because he wanted something new. Only Yinzhu was his true favorite.

After all, there is no other woman in the world who can be like Yinzhu. Not to mention her beauty, she is also very considerate in everything she does and never gets jealous. Most importantly, she can help him in his great cause.

For example, tonight, many details and manpower were arranged by Yinzhu for him, which really saved him a lot of trouble.

"Yinzhu, Yinzhu, I really love you very much."

The eldest prince leaned close to Yinzhu's ear, gently bit her earlobe, and whispered softly.

Yinzhu was angry when she heard this, "Your Highness, don't think I don't know, you have another mistress hidden in your house!"

The eldest prince smiled upon hearing this, "This is really a strange thing today. My Yinzhu has actually learned to be jealous?"

"You also know that I am just trying something new. That young man belongs to my fourth sister."

Yinzhu snorted, "Your Highness, just coax me. Normally, you come back to see me, but today you go to see someone else."

Seeing this, the eldest prince hurriedly coaxed, "Silver beads, no one can compare to my silver beads."

Soon, there were vague sounds in the room...

————

As soon as the sun set, the eldest prince's men went to the villa where the envoys of the two countries were staying to invite them.

Qiao Jiaojiao was held in Qiao Zhongguo's arms and taken along.

Jiaojiao had a premonition that the eldest prince's action today must have a deeper meaning, and perhaps Shen Yuanbai was responsible for it!

If the purpose is to deal with Baili Chengyou, then Meng Guxue will be in danger. After all, everyone now regards Meng Guxue as Baili Chengyou's weak spot.

After leaving the palace just now, she had already told her father and eldest brother the inside story she had heard from the King's wife. They all came to a consensus, but it had yet to be verified.

Let’s wait and see what kind of drama will happen tonight!
