Chapter 280 Another Marriage Proposal
Xie Yan's hanging fingers moved slightly, and Yue Ming and Yue Rong brothers walked out of the guards.
"Prince Yan Liu is invited to Huixian Tower."
As soon as Xie Yan finished speaking, the envoy of Yan State stopped at the gate of Pei Mansion.
The graceful Yan Yu waved the folding fan and walked down with a smile. His appearance was extremely deceptive. If someone who didn't know him, he would definitely think that he was a beautiful man with a glorious and beautiful moon.
But Gu Ning knew that under Yan Yu's gentle appearance, there was a vicious heart hidden, and his methods were worse than those of the emperor.
When Gu Ning saw Yan Yu, he had no good expression.
Yue Ming and Yue Rong even stepped forward directly, and acted as if he wanted to "invit" Yan Yu to Xie's Mansion.
"What?" Yan Yu narrowed his fox eyes and laughed jokingly, "Mr. Xie and the Changning County Lord have started to interfere in the Changning County Lord before they get married?"
His tone was joking, but anyone could hear his hidden bad habits.
Xie Yan's eyes flashed with a violent aura, and his tone did not fluctuate. He said coldly: "The county lord is kind-hearted and has always been kind to others, but some people rely on the county lord's kindness and willfulness, so naturally I cannot ignore it."
Yan Yu smiled, slowly approached Xie Yan, and left a provocative sentence.
"You are really an obedient dog in the Pei family!"
These words were extremely provocative, but Xie Yan's face did not fluctuate at all.
Seeing this, Yan Yu was sneering and had a moment of cracking.
How could an ordinary man be so calm after hearing this?
Whether it is a real married woman or someone who relies on his wife's family, it is most taboo to hear such words.
However, Xie Yan in front of him looked cold, and there was no anger in his narrow phoenix eyes. It was obvious that he did not take this sentence to heart. For a moment, even though Yan Yu was very scheming, he could not deal with this situation.
In his expectation, Xie Yan should have a rift with the Pei family because of his words, but what is the situation in front of him?
At this time, Gu Ning leaned leisurely against the wall, smiling at Yan Yu who was a little surprised, with a soft tone, unable to hide the sarcasm in his tone: "Prince Yan Liu is probably thinking too much. Xie Yan and me are not the words you have to break up."
Seeing Gu Ning, a gentle smile immediately appeared on Yan Yu's face: "If you don't see each other for a day, can the county lord be safe?"
When Gu Ning met Yan Yu's deep eyes, he felt goose bumps appearing from his body. People like Yan Yu, who are very scheming, are much more difficult to deal with than Yuwen Tuo.
"What?" Gu Ning said sarcastically, "Is Prince Yan Liu still looking forward to me or not?"
Yan Yu smiled, ignored Xie Yan and walked towards Gu Ning.
But one hand firmly twisted his wrist. Even though Yan Yu had great martial arts skills, he could not break free for a while...br
"Is this your Chu State's way of hospitality?" Yan Yu's eyes were gloomy and he stared at Xie Yan coldly.
Xie Yan's voice was very cold: "Prince Yan Liu was rude first. For the safety of the county lord, the subordinate had to do this."
Hearing this, Yan Yu almost laughed angrily: "How come I am so rude?"
Seeing Yan Yu's appearance, Gu Ning rolled his eyes fiercely: "Okay, Prince Yan Liu, if you are fine, why not go back to the post station, otherwise don't blame my Pei family's guard for showing mercy."
Yan Yu frowned and was about to speak, but he saw Gu Ning's red lips open and close, and spit out two words - Treasure.
Seeing this, Yan Yu swallowed back his words when he reached his mouth.
"I am here to visit the Pei family today." Yan Yu whispered, "Does the Pei family want to keep the guests out?"
"The visitor is a guest." Gu Ning nodded, but when he turned his tone, his eyes swept towards Yan Yu with a sharp look, "But when I see Prince Yan Liu's words and deeds, I'm afraid it's not as simple as being a guest?"
Yan Yu smiled and patted his hands gently, and someone gave a delicate gift box to Gu Ning.
"This is a unique gem in our Yan Kingdom, famous for its moonlight stone." When Yan Yu spoke, his fox eyes were deep.
Looking at Gu Ning with affection, "Unmarried men and women often give each other moonlight stones as a token of love. The moonlight stone in my hand is taken from the deepest ore veins. It has excellent quality and is rare in the world. Today I will give the moonlight stone to the county lord to show my affection."
Yan Yu specifically pointed out the use of moonstone and opened the box himself. Under the shining sunlight, the moonstone still emits a soft and soft light like moonlight, which is no less than sunlight.
His voice was quite loud enough for those onlookers to hear it clearly.
Gu Ning felt the gossip around him and wanted to kick Yan Yu away.
There was Yuwen Tuo in front and Yan Yu in the back. I am afraid that after today, all the rumors about her Gu Ning will be circulated in the entire capital.
Gu Ning grinded his teeth, but he couldn't say bad things in front of so many people. She quickly looked at Xie Yan.
At this time, Xie Yan strode forward, under Yan Yu's gaze, he held Gu Ning's waist with a tough but gentle movement. His phoenix eyes raised his eyes coldly, like a sharp blade shot on Yan Yu's body.
"Moonlight Stone?" Xie Yan said coldly, "It's just a stone that cannot be used. In order to sell it for a good price, the merchant gave it such a nice name to deceive the world."
"You..." Hearing the words, he wanted to step forward angrily, but was stopped by Yan Yu.
Yan Yu was under the steps and Xie Yan was on the steps. The two men were one high and one low. The atmosphere between them was the same as water and fire, making people afraid to speak without authorization.
Eastern Palace.
"Yuwen Tuo, Yan Yu..."
While chanting these two names lowly, Chu Yunyi's eyes gradually covered with blood. He pinched his hands tightly and repeated the two names in his heart.
His appearance made Gu Qingqiu outside the window feel even more embarrassed.
Her lower abdomen was gradually bulging. Compared with her slender body, this huge belly looked particularly terrifying. She sat here, with eight palace maids serving her, but the people who should care about her and her children most were sitting in the study, caring so much about a letter!
Gu Qingqiu tightened his hands secretly. Banxia saw something wrong with her and whispered: "Crown Princess, you can't get angry. The imperial physician said, your body is weak, if you get angry again..."
"I know." Gu Qingqiu interrupted her coldly, "Who has received the letter from His Highness? What is it said in the letter? Did Mr. Zhuang say it?"
Since reaching a cooperation with Mr. Zhuang, she has known all the confidential letters of Chu Yunyi, and the letter sent today should be like this.
However, after hearing this question, Banxia no longer had the cleverness she had just now. She burst into cold sweats from her forehead, and when she wanted to speak, she choked in her throat.
"Yes...yes..."
"What is it!"
Gu Qingqiu couldn't suppress his anger and stared at Banxia coldly.
Banxia trembled and quickly replied: "It's about the Lord of Changning County. Just now, the second prince of the Huns and the sixth prince of Yan State went to the Pei family."
"The second prince of the Huns said he wanted to propose marriage to the Changning County Lord, while the sixth prince of Yan gave the moonlight stone that symbolized the token of love in Yan State."
After Banxia said these two sentences, she was ready to bear Gu Qingqiu's anger.
But after a long time, Gu Qingqiu still had no movement.
Banxia was uneasy and quickly looked up to see Gu Qingqiu. After seeing the despair in Gu Qingqiu's eyes, she hurriedly said, "Crown Princess, you can't..."
"I know." Gu Qingqiu pushed Banxia away, hugged his high bulge, and whispered, "The child in my belly is the most important, I must not lose him."
"No matter who it is, it can't affect my mood." Gu Qingqiu staggered out while talking to herself.
The palace maids scattered around immediately followed, and the eunuch carrying the sedan chair quickly squatted down: "The Crown Princess invites the sedan chair."
——Even at such a distance in the Eastern Palace, the emperor arranged for eunuchs carrying sedan chairs, so that Gu Qingqiu's feet would not touch the ground.
Gu Qingqiu suddenly smiled at these eunuchs and palace maids, and his face was covered with gloom.
The haze disappeared with this smile.
So what if he falls in love with someone else? She is still the princess? The child in her womb is still the only bloodline of the prince?
Thinking of this, Gu Qingqiu happily got into the sedan chair and ordered, "I want to go out of the palace to go for a walk."
"But..." The great palace maid sent by the emperor subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when she met Gu Qingqiu's dark eyes, she swallowed the words back, "I will continue to give you instructions now, and make sure you can play with peace of mind."
"It's a blessing for Aunt Mo." Gu Qingqiu nodded coldly and walked out.
Aunt Mo said intimately that he was unlucky, but still arranged things in an orderly manner.
In the study, Chu Yunyi squeezed the letter in his hand into a ball, gritted his teeth and said, "It must be Chu Mengyang's fault!"
Mr. Zhuang sighed and whispered: "I don't know who sent the letters last time, but what we can be sure is that the second prince must have colluded with Yan State."
"Now it seems that the second prince is afraid that you will have any involvement with the Changning County Lord, so he simply sent the Changning County Lord to marry him, so as to eliminate the consequences and make you helpless."
"Don't I understand?" Chu Yunyi said with a hatred, "But now, most of the people in the court have been uprooted. In the whole court, almost no one can see familiar people are Chu Mengyang! If I lose the help of the Pei family again, even if I have the position of prince, it would be useless!"
"Only marry Gu Ning!" Chu Yunyi tightened the letter in his hand with force, as if his mood was as complicated as he was at the moment. He repeatedly muttered, "Only by marrying Gu Ning, can I truly sit firmly on the position of this prince!"
When Mr. Zhuang saw Chu Yunyi's red eyes, he shivered.
But soon, he thought of Gu Qingqiu's warning again.
