It was indeed not the case. Chaoli knew it very well. Perhaps he still felt that Gu Hanzhang would not do such a thing, so he did not react at all.
Gu Hanzhang suppressed the sadness in his heart. He understood that he had asked too many questions, and Chaoli couldn't actually give him the answer he wanted.
But when I think about it, I still feel lucky, thinking that maybe she will care.
"A Li, why do you know about Leng Yuan?" Gu Hanzhang changed the subject.
Chao Li paused, looking a little unnatural.
Even though she felt that Gu Hanzhang couldn't see her expression clearly in the darkness, Chaoli still subconsciously avoided her eyes and did not dare to look at Gu Hanzhang.
She probably doesn't know about Lengyuan now. After all, Gu Hanzhang has never mentioned it, and other people in the Hou Mansion may have ignored this place.
In her previous life, she went to Leng Yuan on her own and was not driven away by Gu Hanzhang.
At that time, there were big problems between her and Gu Hanzhang. In addition, Fang Huimin and Lu Xiuyuan had accidents one after another, so she also hated Gu Hanzhang very much. She hated him for not being able to save Fang Huimin and for not attending Fang Huimin's funeral. Even when Lu Xiuyuan's accident happened later, he would also
She was taken back to the mansion by force.
So she moved out of Tingyuge and lived with Qingyi in Lengyuan.
Later, Zhaocai also came to invite her back, but by that time she was in so much pain that she didn't want to see Gu Hanzhang at all, so naturally she didn't come back.
Thinking about it now, it was only because she didn't think clearly that she made things difficult for herself. If it were now, she would definitely come back and turn Tingyu Pavilion upside down before giving up.
"Today I went to Fang's house with my second aunt. When I came back, I felt a little bored, so I walked around the house. Somehow, when I got to the cold courtyard, I found that the courtyard was quite quiet. If the prince thinks that I am disturbing,
In the remaining few months, I can also live in Lengyuan. I actually like that crooked neck tree, it is much more interesting than flowers and plants." Chaoli said softly.
Gu Hanzhang felt that there was something wrong in his heart. Chaoli's words sounded clear, but something was still wrong.
According to what she said, since she didn't know that the cold courtyard was there, why did she go there directly instead of slowly getting there by taking a walk?
It can be found from the words of Zhaocai that Chao Li went to Leng Yuan for a purpose and was not accidental.
Obviously, Chaoli had something he didn't say.
Gu Hanzhang didn't want to force her, otherwise it would only have the opposite effect.
"Since you like it, how about I ask someone to move that tree over? Go to the cold courtyard properly. I told you not to be anxious, and don't take those few months to heart. Give each other a
Opportunity." Gu Hanzhang said.
Chaoli chuckled, "Don't bother moving it here. That tree is not suitable for planting in Tingyu Pavilion. It is only suitable to stay in Lengyuan. If one day I don't get along with the prince, Lengyuan is a good place for me."
"Go to sleep, you have to go to the palace to meet the Queen Mother tomorrow." Gu Hanzhang didn't want to say more.
Chaoli said no more and closed her eyes to sleep. However, she didn't sleep very well. Some episodes from her past life resurfaced in her mind, causing Chaoli to toss and turn.
Gu Hanzhang always slept lightly. After he found that Chaoli couldn't sleep, he got up and sat on the couch again, reaching out to hold Chaoli's hand.
You couldn't see the look on Gu Hanzhang's face in the darkness, but judging from his cautious actions, he was worried about Chaoli waking up.
Ah Li, holding your hand now makes me so satisfied.
It's my fault. If I had treated you well back then, how happy we would be now...
There are also dreams, are they true or false? Did we know each other in the past life, or am I predicting the future? Will we one day be separated by heaven and earth?
I know you can't accept it now, but I still don't want to let you go.
Just like, our hands are folded at this moment.
Chaoli's hand was a little cold and very small. Gu Hanzhang held Chaoli's small hand in his generous palm. His movements were very gentle, as if he was holding a treasure in his hand.
I don't know if it was Gu Hanzhang's hand that played a role. Chaoli felt warm and slept soundly in the second half of the night.
After making sure that Chaoli had fallen asleep peacefully, Gu Hanzhang reluctantly let go of Chaoli's hand and returned to bed.
Not long after, he also fell asleep.
The next day, when Chaoli woke up, Gu Hanzhang had already left the room. It was unclear whether he had gone to the military camp or to attend the morning court.
Because he was going to the palace to meet the Queen Mother, Chaoli still had to wear court clothes.
The way to wear court clothes is rather cumbersome and complicated. It’s really hard to eat too much in court now, let alone drink too much water, otherwise going to the toilet will be very troublesome.
The palace is no better than a prince's palace, so there must be many rules.
This time was different from the previous two times, Gu Hanzhang was not with her.
Overall, it's better to be careful.
Chaoli left Tingyu Pavilion early, and Princess Desao came over when she arrived at the door.
Along with Princess Desao was Gu Xiyue.
"The Queen Mother is talking to us today. She said that you don't have to pay too much attention to the rules, but you need to be careful when entering the palace and don't offend the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother likes you because of Han Zhang. If it weren't for Han Zhang, the Queen Mother would
Naturally, it is impossible to summon him, do you understand?" Princess Desao warned Chaoli in an airy manner.
Chaoli nodded in agreement, "Yes, mother and daughter-in-law both understand."
Seeing how cooperative she was, Princess Dessau didn't say much, and the three of them got into the carriage together.
This visit to the palace was no different from an ordinary banquet. In addition, the Empress Dowager summoned her alone, so the three of them did not bring any maids. Pei Yu acted as the coachman, and a total of four people went to the palace.
Zhenbeihou Mansion is not far from the palace. Not long after, the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace.
Chaoli followed Princess Dessau out of the carriage and was released after inspection. The three of them walked to the harem.
It takes half an hour to walk from the palace entrance to Cining Palace. It is actually quite hard, but there is no way. Except for the emperor and special people, carriages are not allowed to enter the palace, and everyone has to walk inside.
Finally, the three of them arrived at the entrance of Cining Palace and entered after passing a round of communication.
"I have met the Queen Mother. She is a thousand years old." The three of them said in unison.
The Queen Mother still smiled gently, sat upright, and gently raised her hand to wake them up.
"It's been a while since I've seen you again, and Aijia still talks about it. Moreover, Hanzhang was injured a few days ago, and Aijia is also very worried. Fortunately, he has recovered and is now able to go to the morning court normally. I heard
The emperor arranged another errand for him."
"Mother Xie is worried that Hanzhang is fine. He is still practicing martial arts these days." Princess Desao said with a smile.
Chao Li knew that the Queen Mother really cared about Gu Hanzhang, but she didn't know the purpose of summoning her today. This was not the case in her previous life.
"In addition to missing my family, I asked you to come here today for another reason."
