Chapter 642 If you don't want to, then you don't have to talk about it
"Oh? So that's it." Princess Ning suddenly realized it and showed a very pityful expression.
"I heard that the donation to Beidi was brought up by Miss Gu. I thought that although she has a bad reputation, she is also a kind-hearted person. I came here this time and wanted to meet her. I don't know if my cousin can make it happen. Rong Can I meet her?"
Concubine Shen pinched her fingers and looked unkind: "She is so sick that she can't even get up now. I'm afraid she won't be able to come."
"It doesn't matter." Princess Ning chuckled, "I can go and see her in person. After all, I have to meet her to feel at ease."
Seeing that Concubine Shen was getting angry again, Shen Mingzhu explained: "Princess, Miss Gu is really very ill. I'm afraid she might offend the princess. It's better to ask her to visit the princess another day."
"That's not necessary." Princess Ning still smiled, "Since I'm here today, I just want to see you, so there's no need to bother anymore."
Shen Mingzhu wanted to speak again, but Princess Ning interrupted her, "Why, is it possible that I won't be able to see you? Is there something else we don't know about?"
"No." Mrs. Shen gritted her teeth.
Princess Ning said: "Whether it is there or not, you have to see it with your own eyes to know whether it is true or not, is that right, Princess Shen?"
Concubine Shen's face became more and more ugly. Today, the Huainan Palace said that Gu You was ill. Although others were suspicious, they did not dare to pursue it. As long as she made Gu You "recover" in two days, It's over.
But Princess Ning is so unwilling to let her see Gu You. If she is not allowed to see him, after today's incident, I don't know how many people will talk about it and guess how many unsavory inside stories there are. The reputation that Prince Huainan's Mansion has yet to earn back is likely to be posted even more.
Concubine Shen was trembling with anger, and secretly regretted her actions today.
Li Chongyang arranged for Gu You to hold today's plum appreciation banquet (donation banquet). She was extremely dissatisfied. She felt that Gu You really couldn't get on the stage and insulted the name of their Huainan Palace.
Secondly, she doesn't want Gu You's reputation to be too great. Even Princess Zhaorou of Xiliang is really bad. She also doesn't want her son to marry Gu You, a woman like her. Her niece is the princess. The perfect choice.
So she figured that Li Chongyang would go out today, so she tied up Gu You and locked her up in the yard. She also asked people to keep an eye on her and called her 'sick'.
I just didn't expect that Princess Ning would suddenly show up and insist on seeing Gu You, and at this moment, she couldn't help but agree.
Thinking of this, Princess Shen almost gritted her teeth. If Princess Ning were allowed to see Gu You, Gu You's mouth would definitely make today's incident known to the world.
By then...by then these people still don't know how to spread the news to Prince Huainan's Mansion.
"Why does Princess Ning have to go in person? Since you want to see her, just invite her over. Although she is not seriously ill, it is still okay to come to see Princess Ning. Even if she can't come, the house will make arrangements. Carry her over in a soft sedan chair."
When Princess Ning heard this, she immediately smiled: "That's the best."
Concubine Shen then sent Shen Mingzhu and the capable nuns around her to invite Gu You.
At this time, Gu You had been tied up and trapped in the yard with a towel stuffed in her mouth for an hour. She struggled and made trouble, but there was nothing she could do. In the end, she had to accept her fate and sit on a chair in the bright hall.
Seeing Shen Mingzhu and grandma arriving at this moment, she snorted coldly and turned away.
"Gu You." Shen Mingzhu's expression was also not good, "I have something to say to you. Please speak nicely and don't make any noise. There are many guests in the house now. If there is a quarrel, who will
His face doesn’t look good either.”
"If you agree, just nod."
Gu You stared at her with wide eyes, neither nodding nor shaking his head, not willing to cooperate at all.
Seeing that what Shen Mingzhu said was useless, the nanny stepped forward and said: "Miss Gu, I really feel sorry for you about this matter today, but now there are some things that require Miss Gu to step forward. If Miss Gu is willing to help, if there is any request
, we can also talk about it."
"If you are willing to talk, I will loosen your bonds and give you your freedom. If you are not willing, then let's continue like this."
"If you agree, nod your head; if you disagree, shake your head."
Gu You sat and thought for a while, and finally nodded.
Grandma laughed, then removed the towel from Gu You's mouth: "That's right, when it's time to talk nicely, just talk nice."
The concubine doesn't like this girl Gu so much. In addition to looking down on Gu You and wanting her niece to be the princess, she also thinks this girl is too annoying. She talks and does things her own way and only depends on her own happiness. Even the concubine doesn't like this.
He didn't give me any face, and she choked when she was dissatisfied.
Moreover, I can’t actually speak or act on the stage.
If she were more obedient, just because the prince liked her so much, he couldn't be a princess, so she could still be a concubine.
"I want to host today's donation banquet." Gu You opened his mouth and made his request, "I proposed this matter, and I will never allow you to do anything wrong."
Shen Mingzhu's face stiffened: "Don't go too far."
Gu You glanced at her and sat on a chair without moving: "If you don't want to, then there's no need to talk."
"you!"
"Don't forget that the donation meeting was something I brought up. It should have been my thing. It's simply wrong for you to lock me up here and try to take away the fruits of my labor. I'm just taking it back."
My own stuff."
Gu You didn't know what was going on outside that required her to come forward, but she knew that this was her only chance to regain the right to host the donation meeting, and she couldn't let the things she had worked so hard to arrange fall into the hands of these unscrupulous people.
"I can promise Miss Gu on behalf of the concubine."
"Mother Wang!" Shen Mingzhu became anxious upon hearing this.
"Cousin, the reputation of the palace is more important." Grandma Wang glanced at Gu You, and then said, "As long as you agree to help smooth things over today, you will still be the host of today's donation meeting."
Only then did Gu You look at her seriously: "Are you serious? If you agree, will the old Qian woman regret it?"
"Miss Gu, don't be so presumptuous." Grandma Wang has never seen such an unruly girl. After all, the concubine is the prince's biological mother. She actually calls her an 'old woman' or 'an old pious woman'. She really doesn't want to treat her well.
Have a good time.
"I am the person that the concubine trusts the most. The concubine sent me to see Miss Gu, so naturally I have the final say." Thinking of Gu You's attitude towards doing things, Grandma Wang suddenly felt a headache again.
"I just agreed to Miss Gu, but I also have a request."
"If Miss Gu takes over, don't act willfully again. Think twice before speaking. Don't bring shame to Prince Huainan's palace, and don't mess up the matter."
