For a moment, all the ministers were in panic, but Gu Tingyu remained calm and composed.
"Master, aren't you worried?" the housekeeper asked worriedly.
Gu Tingyu was slightly startled, then revealed a sneer.
"There is nothing to worry about. The assassin is here for me. If I kill him, it will make the emperor jealous, so he will not kill me!"
The housekeeper breathed a sigh of relief, finally feeling a little comfort in his heart.
"But, sir, what should we do? What if the emperor finds out about us..."
"It's okay," Gu Tingyu waved his hand and said calmly, "I have sent people to arrest the assassin. I'm not afraid of him revealing who instigated it, but..."
He sighed: "This matter has made a big fuss. I'm afraid the progress of our plan will be hindered. I originally wanted to use Gu Yuchen's hands to force the emperor to depose the prince, but now it seems that there is no chance."
"Master, should we marry the second princess?"
"No need," Gu Tingyu said with an indifferent smile, "Although Gu Yuchen is a dandy, he also has several outstanding sons. My two younger brothers are not weak either. His three brothers are not suitable to be princes.
"
"That……"
"How about replacing the princess with Gu Yuchen's sister?" Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes, "After all, Gu Yuchen's sister seems to be more stupid."
The housekeeper suddenly understood and laughed twice: "The master is right, Gu Yuchen's sister is indeed stupid. However, if the crown princess is replaced by Gu Yuchen, the emperor will definitely doubt us, so we will proceed according to the original plan."
"Well," Gu Tingyu's eyes flickered for a moment, "Let's go to the Leng family to propose marriage first. As for the matter of the Crown Princess... we will postpone it for now."
"Yes, sir."
The Gu family members had already begun to take action, but outside Gu's residence, many people quietly gathered to watch the excitement.
Therefore, when Gu Tingyu and the housekeeper just left the house, they met Gu Yuchen walking towards him.
Gu Yuchen was wearing a blue robe with gold embroidery on the clothes. He had handsome eyebrows and a slight smile on his lips, making him appear elegant and suave.
"Fourth brother," Gu Yuchen glanced at Gu Tingyu, and then his eyes moved to Leng Shuang. He was stunned, "Who is the girl next to you?"
Leng Shuang lowered her head and did not dare to look at Gu Yuchen. She was afraid that she would cry uncontrollably.
Gu Tingyu frowned: "Don't scream."
Gu Yuchen's eyes glanced at the guard behind Gu Tingyu, and he raised his eyebrows slightly: "Fourth brother, which family of yours is this girl from?"
"My personal maid!" Gu Tingyu said after being silent for a while, "She will be your sister-in-law from now on!"
sister in law?
Gu Yuchen was stunned.
There was a loud bang in his head and a ringing in his ears.
"Fourth brother, what did you say?" He stared at Gu Tingyu in disbelief with his eyes widened.
Gu Tingyu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot: "Gu Yuchen, don't you want to admit your guilt?"
"Fourth brother, I want you to take a concubine, but I never planned to give my wife away. Has this girl misunderstood?"
Leng Shuang stiffened and looked up at Gu Tingyu.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with confusion, as if she didn't understand what Gu Tingyu meant.
"I have no intention of taking a concubine," Gu Tingyu frowned, "Leng Shuang, did you misunderstand something?"
"I didn't misunderstand."
Leng Shuang lowered her eyes to cover up the disappointment in her eyes.
He would rather not marry a wife than take her as a concubine?
"Gu Yuchen, don't mess around!"
"Fourth brother, where did I go wrong? If you really wanted to take a concubine, you should have told me earlier, lest I be snatched away and you would suffer a loss."
Gu Tingyu's face completely darkened, and he shouted loudly: "I'm warning you, if you continue to mess around, I won't pay attention to you anymore!"
"Fourth brother," Gu Yuchen pouted aggrievedly, "I didn't force you to marry her, why aren't you happy? Besides, I didn't plan to give her to anyone else.
His man, I just hope..."
Gu Tingyu's face became even more disgusting, and he kicked Gu Yuchen away hard.
"roll!"
Gu Yuchen fell to the ground and screamed in pain. He rubbed his butt pitifully and got up: "I am your biological brother after all, and you actually kicked me!"
"You are my biological brother. If you don't take concubines, don't blame me for turning against you!"
Gu Yuchen was stunned.
Why does he feel that...the fourth brother's attitude is not quite right?
"Fourth brother..."
"roll!"
Gu Tingyu became angry from embarrassment and slapped Gu Yuchen with his palm.
With this palm blow, Gu Yuchen was knocked unconscious, his whole face was covered in bruises, and he lay motionless on the ground, making no sound.
"Husband!" The housekeeper was frightened and rushed forward to help Gu Yuchen up, but Gu Yuchen was as heavy as a thousand pounds. No matter how hard the housekeeper tried, Gu Yuchen did not wake up.
Gu Tingyu clenched his fists and stared at the housekeeper with a sinister look: "Take him back to the room to recuperate, and don't give him any medicine!"
The housekeeper hurriedly picked up Gu Yuchen and followed Gu Tingyu quickly towards the mansion.
"Miss……"
Leng Shuang called out hesitantly: "Aren't you going to save the young master?"
"If we don't save him," Gu Tingyu curled his lips coldly, "If we save him, the emperor will suspect that we are in contact with the prince. In this way, everything we have done will be in vain. He loves him to death!"
He said this to the housekeeper on purpose to prevent the housekeeper from informing Gu Yuchen after hearing it.
After all, he couldn't admit this kind of thing, otherwise, once it reached the emperor's ears, the emperor would never let them go!
"Husband," Leng Shuang bit her lip, "We have been helping Gu Yuchen all these years, why don't you want him to take a concubine?"
Gu Tingyu stopped and looked back at the woman behind him.
The woman's face was pale, and her beautiful face was covered with tears. She looked pitiful and pitiful.
He slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened them and smiled bitterly: "Leng Shuang, it's not that I don't want Yu Chen to take a concubine, but I don't want you to marry him."
"I know that Yuchen has a bad temper and a hot temper. He likes to play with power, but he has never hurt you."
Leng Shuang shook his head: "Husband, I understand what you mean. I don't want to marry Yuchen because I don't want to leave you. We met in a brothel. I was engaged to you at that time, but in the end I escaped from the brothel and got married to you.
, I have been waiting for you to come find me, I want to stay in Prince Gu’s Mansion and stay with you for the rest of my life.”
There were tears in her eyes, and she was filled with grief: "If you don't want to take a concubine, I won't force you to do so, but I hope you can take me as a concubine. As long as I can stay with you, I am willing even to be a concubine."
"
Gu Tingyu's breathing suddenly stagnated, and his heart hurt as if it had been cut by a knife.
Strong regret emerged in his heart.
If it hadn't been for him in the first place, how could this girl have ended up in that situation?
Perhaps sensing Gu Tingyu's emotional change, Leng Shuang knelt on the ground in panic, wiped the tears on her cheeks with her sleeves, and stretched out her hand tremblingly.
"Husband, do you agree?"
"I'm very happy that you are willing to stay with me. You don't have to sacrifice yourself for me."
"Fourth brother, if you don't agree, I won't force you. Don't worry, I will definitely not take concubines in the future."
Leng Shuang raised her lips and smiled sweetly.
"I..." Gu Tingyu was slightly startled, "That's not what I meant... I was just worried that you would be wronged. Since you are willing, I... will promise you."
"Husband," Leng Shuang's face showed joy, "Thank you."
Gu Tingyu smiled bitterly.
In that war, he almost died on the battlefield, but luckily he met his master.
His master taught him many things and also taught him some self-defense martial arts.
Later, at the junction of his army and the Northern Territory, in order to protect the safety of his soldiers, he went to the Northern Territory alone to fight against the enemy.
He thought he would never see his master again in this life, but he didn't expect that a few years later, his master would suddenly visit and take Leng Shuang away.
He didn't know how Leng Shuang survived, he only knew that she came back alive.
But she also forgot about him.
"Leng Shuang, do you remember who I am?"
Leng Shuang nodded blankly: "Remember."
"I am Gu Tingyu!"
"oh."
"Why don't you have any impression at all?"
"..."
Leng Shuang was stunned.
Why should she have an impression?
She only remembered that she was the maid of the Gu family, that's all.
Gu Tingyu's eyes gradually dimmed, he turned around and walked forward with long legs.
"Miss, who is this young master?" the housekeeper couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know either."
Leng Shuang shook his head: "He only said his last name was Gu, and I don't remember anything else."
"well."
The housekeeper sighed: "Miss, I saw that this young master cares about you just now. If you need help, just ask him, maybe he can help you."!Z.br
Gu Tingyu... is an idiot!
But even so, this young master is still strong, at least stronger than Gu Yuchen.
"Um."
Leng Shuang nodded slightly, her eyes always following Gu Tingyu's thin back.
His back was desolate and lonely, covered with wind and rain, which made her heart feel sour, and crystal clear tears hung from the corners of her eyes.
"I wanted to find him, but he... refused to accept me as his concubine."
"I see."
The housekeeper sighed lowly.
This matter is indeed very difficult. After all, Gu Tingyu is kind to the young lady.
But he refused to take a concubine.
Now the two aunts in the Gu family were rewarded by the emperor. If Gu Tingyu did not take concubines, the Gu family would lose their face.
"Let's go and check on the young lady's condition first."
Outside Prince Gu's Mansion, Gu Tingyu was sitting restlessly.
He had already sent someone to ask for the imperial doctor, but no one came for a long time.
At this moment, a guard hurried over and knelt on one knee in front of Gu Tingyu.
"Your Majesty, people from the Tai Hospital have come, but the people from the Tai Hospital said that they will not treat the young madam, and they are not willing to treat the second young lady. They say that the second young lady is seriously ill and her life is hanging by a thread. If it is too late, I am afraid...
…”
Gu Tingyu frowned fiercely and pondered for a moment: "Lead the way."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guards led Gu Tingyu towards the Tai Hospital.
Gu Tingyu's steps were extremely fast, his expression was anxious, and there was heavy sweat on his forehead.
If Gu Yuchen really died, what should he do? This chapter has been completed!
