Leng Shuang did not stay any longer and quickly ran out of Gu Tingyu's yard.
Gu Tingyu sat on the chair and fell into deep thought.
"Your Majesty," Butler Liu stepped forward, "Princess, she..."
Gu Tingyu raised his hand and interrupted Butler Liu: "Butler, send a maid to serve Leng Shuang and tell her that the king wants to take her as his concubine."
"Ah?" Butler Liu's eyes widened in surprise, "My lord, don't you hate her? Why do you want to take her as your concubine again?"
"The king has changed his mind," Gu Tingyu pursed his thin lips, "Steward Liu, please deliver the medicine in person. Be sure to take good care of her. When the king comes back, he will make her his concubine."
Butler Liu was full of doubts, but he did not dare to disobey the prince's order and could only obey: "Yes, I will do it right away."
After saying that, Butler Liu retreated, but he always felt that the prince was acting strange today.
Gu Tingyu returned to the room, threw the cloak in his hand on the table, and immediately stepped behind the screen.
"Shuang'er, have you ever taken a bath?"
"Your Majesty, I've finished washing up."
"Then I'll go change into some clean clothes first and I'll come back later."
A strange feeling arose in Gu Tingyu's heart. This feeling felt strange to him, but he couldn't explain the reason.
"Shuang'er," Gu Tingyu pondered for a long time before he said, "If your identity is revealed, I will give you a grand wedding and marry you into the palace."
"Your Majesty..."
"Shuang'er, don't refuse. You don't have to be too grateful to me. It's my duty to marry you. I will be responsible for my whole life. Just wait and marry me."
After saying this, Gu Tingyu walked behind the screen and walked out soon after.
The man's clothes have been changed into a purple robe, with a jade belt tied around his waist, and his temperament is noble and elegant.
Leng Shuang lowered his head, hiding the hatred in his eyes.
She clenched her fists tightly and tried hard to suppress the hatred in her heart, so that she could not rush forward and kill Gu Tingyu.
"Shuang'er," Gu Tingyu walked up to Leng Shuang and reached out to hold her hand, "Follow me back to the palace. I promise to pamper you."
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Shuang'er," Gu Tingyu held Leng Shuang's shoulders and forced her to look directly into his eyes, "I know you are not willing to give in, but do you have any other choice now besides marrying me?"
"..."
Leng Shuang gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, I don't want to think about this for now. I'm tired and want to rest."
"Forget it, since you want to rest, that's up to you. I will go to the study to handle official business. If you are hungry or thirsty, you can ask Butler Liu to call me."
After speaking, Gu Tingyu let go of Leng Shuang's arm and walked towards the study.
Outside the study door, a guard guarded the door respectfully.
Gu Tingyu walked up to the guard and said, "Give me the order. Let the kitchen stew some soup tomorrow morning. Remember to add more chicken legs."
The guard was stunned. This was the first time he heard the prince asking the kitchen to stew soup.
"I obey my orders!"
Gu Tingyu nodded, turned around and entered the study, closing the door.
And when the study door closed, a bitter smile appeared on Gu Tingyu's handsome face.
"Shuang'er, I can only feel sorry for you..."
The palace, the palace.
Leng Shuang could not sit still, her hand holding the brush was trembling.
For some reason, Gu Tingyu was so weird today. Not only did he not punish her, he didn't even ask her questions.
Leng Shuang frowned, looking through the window at the flowers, plants and trees in the courtyard, feeling increasingly restless and restless.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a smile appeared on Butler Liu's face: "Miss Leng, the soup my prince asked you to prepare is ready. I will take you to the dining room to get it."
Leng Shuang's head was a little confused. She looked at Butler Liu, but she felt vaguely familiar.
"Shuang'er?" Liu
Seeing that Leng Shuang hadn't followed for a long time, the housekeeper turned around and looked at Leng Shuang, who was speechless. "Miss Leng, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"
"I..." Leng Shuang was about to speak when suddenly, a wave of sleepiness swept over her. Her eyelids closed heavily and she fainted on the ground.
Butler Liu was stunned. He quickly leaned over to pick up Leng Shuang and carefully placed him on the bed.
Looking at the woman lying on the bed, Butler Liu sighed softly: "Your Majesty, Miss Leng is not a good match for you. Why do you insist on doing this?"
The next day.
After Leng Shuang woke up, she found that she was sleeping in the palace. She was startled and hurriedly put on her shoes and ran out of the room.
"stop!"
A roar came from behind, Leng Shuang stiffened and turned around slowly.
What catches the eye is a gorgeous red robe.
The man has a handsome face and a heroic demeanor, and there is majesty and indifference between his brows.
"Your Majesty, I sleepwalked last night and came back somehow," Leng Shuang lowered her eyes, "I...I'm leaving right now."
"Sleepwalking?" Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes, "How come I don't know that there are sleepwalkers in my mansion? If you want to leave Prince Gu's mansion, get out as soon as possible to avoid polluting my air!"
Leng Shuang's breath froze slightly and she didn't dare to refute.
"Your Majesty," Butler Liu hurriedly grabbed Gu Tingyu and said, "Your Majesty, our palace has strict rules. Any servant who falls ill will be thrown out of the palace. If your Majesty really wants to drive away Miss Leng, he'd better find some strong men to put her away."
Take her away, otherwise her character will cause a huge stir."
Leng Shuang was startled. She raised her head with a charming look: "Your Majesty, Butler Liu is right. If you really want to expel me from the house, I have nothing to say, but please treat my brother kindly."
.”
"younger brother?"
Leng Shuang lowered her eyelids, and her long eyelashes covered the haze under her eyes. She raised the corners of her lips lightly: "The prince and I are childhood sweethearts, and my parents also hope that I can marry you, but I am a poor girl."
, not worthy of the prince."
"Haha," Gu Tingyu sneered, his voice was cold, "I don't mind your poor status, as long as you are willing to stay with me."
Leng Shuang shook her head: "Unfortunately, I have decided to marry the prince."
"Shuang'er!"
Gu Tingyu's face was ashen and he was gnashing his teeth, but in the end he couldn't bear to hurt Leng Shuang and could only angrily leave.
"Steward Liu, keep an eye on the palace for me. If there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately." Gu Tingyu stopped and looked back at Butler Liu, "If anything happens to Shuang'er, please come and see her!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Also, go and call Liu Hai, I need his help."
Liu Hai is Gu Tingyu's military advisor, and he usually provides advice. This time, he really needs Liu Hai's help.
Butler Liu raised his fists and quickly chased after him.
Gu Tingyu turned around and walked into the study. His expression gradually changed, with an evil curve at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became even more profound and unpredictable.
"Shuang'er, I have never forced you. Everything I have done is for you, for this huge Prince Gu's palace! Only if I successfully win the throne can I give you glory and wealth and let you enjoy endless respect. Don't worry.
, when I sit in that position, you will still be my princess, and no one can take it away!"
Leng Shuang didn't know what Gu Tingyu was planning. As soon as she walked to the dining room, she met Mrs. Gu. Her face turned pale and she hurriedly knelt down.
"Grandma, my grandson-in-law wishes you well."
"How is your health?" Mrs. Gu looked at Leng Shuang who was kneeling on the ground and asked calmly.
"Thank you grandma for caring about me. My health is almost healed."
"Well, that's good," Mrs. Gu's expression was gentle and kind, "I heard from Butler Liu that you are not feeling well these past two days, but you don't need to worry. I asked the imperial doctor to see you these past two days. I believe that you will be well again."
After a while, your illness will be cured."
Leng Shuang pursed her lips and said nothing.
"Please sit down first."
"Yes, grandma."
Leng Shuang sat down obediently.
"Where is the prince?" Mrs. Gu's eyes fell on Leng Shuang's side, and she asked doubtfully.
Leng Shuang hesitated for a long time and then said: "Your Majesty, he has some government affairs to deal with, so he did not accompany his grandmother to have dinner."
"Oh?" Mrs. Gu seemed a little disappointed, "Your Majesty has been really busy these days. As a descendant of the royal family, he must complete the tasks assigned by his father every month. I heard that he sent someone to send back some medicinal materials a while ago.
They are all piled up in the entire study, I think he must be busy with this matter."
Leng Shuang remained silent.
She didn't understand why the prince suddenly became so diligent and even selected the medicinal materials himself.
"Your Majesty is young but has endured such hard work. Shuang'er, Your Majesty has been very good to you. You must be grateful in the future and never let down His love and care for you."
Looking at Mrs. Gu's leaving figure, Leng Shuang clenched her pink fists tightly, her heart was beating fast, her delicate body was trembling, and her face was pale.
"Sister Leng," Liu Hai walked slowly to Leng Shuang's side, "Let's eat first. The prince will probably be back soon. Don't let him go hungry."
Leng Shuang suppressed her inner panic and forced a smile: "Okay, you eat first, I'll wait."
Liu Hai glanced at Leng Shuang and hesitated to speak, but never spoke.
It wasn't until Mrs. Leng walked away that he sighed: "Sister Leng, have you really thought about it? The prince... is the prince after all."
Leng Shuang's body trembled slightly and she smiled bitterly: "I also thought about retreating at first, but I couldn't give up on my mother, and I didn't have the courage to face my parents."
Maybe she was cowardly, but she couldn't forget the despair and grief her mother looked like before her death.
She didn't dare to recall that nightmare again, just because every time she closed her eyes, her mother's blood poured into the tip of her nose.
Therefore, she has no right to escape.
"The prince...maybe he really likes you. If you agree to him, you won't have to worry about it in the future." Liu Hai's voice was helpless, "However, if you really want to marry the prince, I'm afraid you will encounter a lot of obstacles. After all,
, The identity of the prince is there. In addition to the prince, there are many outstanding young masters, all of whom are better than the prince. They..."
