Dugu Chen led Gu Xiaowu out, and the two walked in tandem without anyone speaking.

He didn't hear anyone talking along the way, and Gu Xiaowu couldn't help but start to lose focus.

"Miss Lan, Jinxiu Palace has arrived."

"Ah?..." Gu Xiaowu was startled by Dugu Chen's voice, but he quickly reacted, "Thank you for sending Qingcheng back, Your Highness. Qingcheng is really grateful."

Dugu Chen suddenly turned around and faced Gu Xiaowu, "Miss Lan..."

"What's the matter? Your Royal Highness..." Gu Xiaowu asked hesitantly.

"No, it's nothing. You should rest early. I'll take my leave now." Dugu Chen seemed a little annoyed, shook his head, and walked away before Gu Xiaowu could react.

Gu Xiaowu couldn't help but turn his head and look at the back of Dugu Chen who was walking faster and faster, feeling a little baffled.

"Luochen, is there any news about Miss Gu?" Dugu Chen slowed down as he was already some distance away from Jinxiu Palace.

"Back to Your Highness, the clues were interrupted when they reached Jiangning City. Although it is not certain whether Miss Gu has returned to Jiangning City, it is certain that Miss Gu has definitely been to Jiangning City in recent days." Luochen said cautiously.

"Where is the third prince?" He naturally knew that the third brother felt guilty. If not, the third brother would not have passed outside Jiangning City and would not have entered the city.

But he didn't blame him, it wasn't his fault in the first place. If he wanted to blame, he could only blame himself. When he went to Nanman, he didn't think that such a situation would happen.

If he had been more prepared, she would not have been injured, and her whereabouts would have even been unknown.

"The third prince has now returned along the original route, and has also transferred all his men and horses to find Miss Gu." The third prince came out in full force, and this was the first time he saw her.

He actually didn't think that Miss Gu was that outstanding, but the Third Prince and His Highness both treated her so differently.

"Do you know how many people are available in the East Palace now?" Dugu Chen asked again.

Luochen was startled and asked hurriedly: "Your Highness, are you... are you planning to use people from the East Palace to find Miss Gu's whereabouts? This must not be done. Once people from the East Palace are used, the Emperor and other princes will know about it.

,Your Highness, please think twice!”

"Luochen, I have made up my mind, just do as I am told." Dugu Chen insisted, and he naturally had his own purpose.

"Your Highness..." Luochen suddenly knelt down on one foot, "Your Highness, this must never happen. At this juncture, you must never do anything that goes against the truth. Mr. Lan and Miss Lan are still in the palace, if

If this matter reaches their ears, Your Highness will definitely be in trouble."

Although he knew he shouldn't question his master's decision, he couldn't just watch His Highness destroy his reputation and reputation.

Although the princes have behaved themselves and have not done anything to fight for power and gain in these years, that is because His Highness has never done anything that is disgraceful to his status in these years. Once His Highness the Crown Prince uses the power of the East Palace because of a woman,

At that time, those princes will definitely use this as an excuse to attack His Royal Highness.

"Luochen, you shouldn't be the first person to question Gu's decision." Dugu Chen seemed a little disappointed, "Anyway, Gu has made up his mind, you should do it immediately."

If he doesn't find Cheng'er for a day, he won't be able to rest at ease for a day.

"Your Highness!" Luochen shouted unwillingly, "Don't you know what the purpose of Miss Lan's coming to the palace this time is? Mr. Lan can tell at a glance that he is not a simple person. If he knows that you are doing this for Miss Gu,

To make such a rash move, then..."

"That's enough." Dugu Chen interrupted Luochen, the smile on his face had been replaced by a scowl.

"Your Highness..." Luochen looked at his master in disbelief. After so many years of following His Highness, this was the first time he had seen His Highness angry.

"I don't want to say the same thing anymore. You just have to do what I said. It's getting late, let's go back to the East Palace." Dugu Chen said coldly, and then walked away with a flick of his sleeves.

He has naturally thought about what Luochen said, and he is confident that he can solve those troubles well.

It is impossible for those imperial brothers alone to shake his position.

What's more, he has his third brother and his eleventh brother by his side!

Luochen watched blankly as his master walked away, and punched the ground with hatred, feeling unwilling but helpless.

*** ***

Gu Xiaowu took a hot bath and was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, when suddenly there was someone else in the room.

After seeing who that person was, Gu Xiaowu's face suddenly darkened.

Rolling his eyes, Gu Xiaowu jumped onto the bed and covered his head with the quilt, not caring whether there was another person in the room.

"Cheng'er, this is how you treat guests?" Si Jingjun sat down on the wooden chair beside him, with a very obvious smile on his lips.

After hearing this, Gu Xiaowu sat up suddenly and glared at Si Jingjun hatefully, "How did you know it was me?"

The days Dugu Chen spent with her were longer than the days he spent with her and Si Jingjun, but Dugu Chen didn't even recognize her. How did Si Jingjun recognize her?

Si Jingjun laughed rudely, because all the palace maids and chambermaids had been driven away by Gu Xiaowu, and Lan Shenglian lived in the west far away from her room, so Si Jingjun was not worried about being heard.

of laughter.

"I'm asking you something, stop laughing!" Gu Xiaowu gritted his teeth.

Why are you smiling? It’s great to have neat white teeth?

Si Jingjun was still laughing. When Gu Xiaowu was about to lose his temper, he managed to stop laughing.

"Because of this..." Si Jingjun pointed to the center of his forehead and smiled meaningfully.

Gu Xiaowu frowned slightly, then understood.

It was the red lotus on her forehead that revealed her identity. When her true appearance was revealed, she had thought about covering up the red lotus on her forehead, but was stopped by Lan Shenglian.

At that time, she thought that this red lotus was too special, and she was afraid that it would cause trouble for her. Now it seems that her worries at that time were not groundless, and now trouble has really come.

"What are you doing with me?" It was bad luck for her to be recognized.

"Actually, it's nothing. I'm just here to give you a heads up. If you don't want to get into trouble, you'd better hide the red lotus on your forehead better." Si Jingjun said casually.

With so much hair, it should be easy to cover that little lotus flower, right?

"Why are you helping me?" Gu Xiaowu asked coldly. She didn't think she was so charming that she could make someone she had only met twice think about her so much.

"Why should I help you?" Si Jingjun raised his lips and said, "I'm happy, can't I?"

For what? Of course it was to prevent her from being killed by that man before she grew up. He was also waiting for her to become the owner of the Holy Spirit Island and then abolish those heinous island rules!

If he was plotted like this, wouldn't all his hard work over the years have been in vain?

"Okay, of course it's no problem. But can you go now? It's very late and I need to rest." She doesn't know what will be waiting for her tomorrow. When she is in the palace, she has to reserve her energy at all times.

"Aren't you going to tell Dugu Chen and Dugu Xun? They have been extremely anxious to find you recently!" Especially the third prince, Dugu Xun, actually sent all the people from the three princes' mansion to look for this girl. Although

I don't know if he wanted to pay favor to Dugu Chen or something else, but he was willing to use all his hidden power. This alone was enough to impress him.

"I have my own sense of discretion. The window is there, so I will leave slowly without seeing him off." Even if he wanted to say it, he would have to wait until Lan Shenglian told her who the person who poisoned her mother was. Otherwise, if he were to say it at this time,

If she changes her mind, wouldn't she lose more than she gains?

After the incident, she should apologize to Ah Xun, and he will forgive her.

As for agreeing to marry Lan Shenglian to Dugu Chen, actually thinking about it, marrying him seems pretty good.

You're going to get married sooner or later anyway, so it's better to marry someone you feel comfortable with.

It was a dreamless night, and even though it was already broad daylight, Gu Xiaowu was still sleeping soundly.

"Miss Lan, wake up."

Gu Xiaowu opened his eyes suddenly and saw two palace ladies standing in front of the bed. One of them was still covered with a veil, but Su Wen was not in the room.

"What's the matter?" Being woken up while sleeping soundly is definitely a kind of torture for someone who loves to sleep.

"Luo Guifei from Zhongcui Palace has been waiting for you outside for a long time. You'd better get up quickly and apologize to Luo Guifei." One of the maids said.

Gu Xiaowu immediately turned cold and said, "You're so arrogant, it's not your turn to teach me what to do."

What a joke. Even if the Lan family is just a reclusive family now, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. A little palace maid dares to talk to her like this! What about the noble concubine? Even if the queen comes, don't even think about her going.

apologize.

She doesn't blame her for disturbing her dream. It's already pretty good. You want her to apologize? Not to mention the door, there are no windows!

"Miss Lan, Luo Guifei is the most favored empress in the harem now. If you don't apologize to the concubine, then as long as the concubine blows the pillow breeze to the emperor, do you think you can successfully become the empress?

The concubine of His Highness the Crown Prince?" the maid said arrogantly.

The expression on Gu Xiaowu's face became colder and colder. She didn't know when the maids in Tianchen Palace became so arrogant.

Moreover, this palace maid knew too much. She even knew that the lady of the Lan family was going to marry the prince as a concubine!

"Listen to what you mean, if I want to become the crown prince's concubine, I have to go and apologize to Luo Guifei?" Gu Xiaowu's mouth had a hint of sarcasm, and he didn't take Luo Guifei seriously at all.

There are really not many people that she can take seriously.

It's just that this palace maid seems to defend Na Luo Gui's concubine at all times. If it weren't for the purpose of claiming credit, then this palace maid would be Na Luo Gui's concubine's person.

When the master is favored, the people below him become arrogant and domineering. It's not like she has never seen this kind of thing before.
