"Yes," Leng Shuang nodded and said, "Let's go directly to Prince Gu's Mansion."
"Miss, do you really plan to marry Prince Gu Tingyu?"
"Of course!" Leng Shuang said without hesitation.
She originally thought it was a bit difficult to handle, but after listening to the man's words last night, she felt that she was extremely witty.
Nowadays, Prince Chen's Mansion is in chaos. If she goes to Prince Gu's Mansion at this time, she will definitely attract Gu Tingyu's attention.
As for what the man said, she naturally chose to believe it.
What's more, Gu Tingyu is the person she has liked for so many years.
…
Gu Wangfu
Gu Tingyu approached the courtyard where the princess lived and immediately saw the maid standing in the princess' room.
"Where is the princess?" Gu Tingyu asked with a frown.
The maid felt slightly blessed and reported respectfully: "The princess went to the old lady's yard."
Gu Tingyu nodded and walked towards the courtyard where the princess lived.
The princess likes to visit the garden most, so Gu Tingyu walked to the outside of the princess's courtyard without any obstruction.
Just when Gu Tingyu was about to step into the courtyard, a burst of fragrance hit his nose.
Gu Tingyu raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, frowning and said, "What is this?"
"Your Majesty, it's incense." The little maid replied.
"Since it's incense, let's take it away." Gu Tingyu waved his hand and motioned to the little maid to remove the incense.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The little maid responded and turned around to leave.
Gu Tingyu frowned and turned to leave.
However, just when Gu Tingyu took a few steps, a rich fragrance floated into his nose.
In an instant, Gu Tingyu felt hot all over his body, his breathing became disordered, his legs became sore and weak, and he almost fell to the ground.
Seeing this, the little maid hurriedly stepped forward to help Gu Tingyu.
"My lord, why are your cheeks so hot?" the little maid said in surprise.
Gu Tingyu shook his head hard, trying to get rid of the strangeness in his body.
However, no matter how hard Gu Tingyu struggled, his consciousness was still groggy.
"Your Majesty, please lie down on the bed and rest for a while. I will call the housekeeper right now." The little maid said worriedly.
Gu Tingyu gritted his teeth, pushed the little maid away with all his strength, staggered into the inner room, and slammed the door.
"Princess, the prince made a lot of noise after being drunk, and he is falling asleep now." Eunuch Li reported to Shen Yuelihui.
"Is there anything strange about him now?" Shen Yueli asked with a frown.
"Other than a headache, I had no other reaction."
Hearing this, Leng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as there is no fever, her plan will be two-thirds successful.
Just waiting for her medicinal ingredients to be in place, she immediately fed the antidote to Gu Tingyu.
By then, Gu Tingyu will no longer be able to escape her control!
…
When Gu Tingyu woke up again, night had fallen.
He opened his eyes and saw an unfamiliar environment.
His heart suddenly shrank, Gu Tingyu scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and after confirming that he was safe, he let out a long breath.
"My lord is awake."
Gu Tingyu looked sideways and saw an unfamiliar woman's face.
The woman was about eighteen years old, with a gentle smile on her oval-shaped face, her skin was like cream, and she was beautiful, and her every frown and smile revealed a dignified and noble aura.
Gu Tingyu stared blankly at the woman in front of him, his heartbeat accelerated, and even his breathing became much faster.
Seeing this, the woman covered her lips and smiled softly: "My lord, why are you looking at me like this?"
…
"Who are you?"
Gu Tingyu asked with a frown.
He remembered that he was clearly dining with the Queen Mother in the palace yesterday, so how could he be here in the blink of an eye?
Could it be said that this woman is his savior?
"I am the prince's fiancée, and I am Leng Shuang." Leng Shuang replied softly.
fiancée?!
After listening to Leng Shuang's words, Gu Tingyu's face suddenly darkened.
"You're talking nonsense! I've never been engaged to you, so where did you get your fiancée?"
"Your Majesty, although my mother has not proposed to marry the prince, I and the prince's childhood sweethearts have been privately engaged for life."
Gu Tingyu glared at Leng Shuang angrily, feeling ashamed and angry at the same time.
"Ridiculous! Did I ever promise anything?"
"My lord, have you forgotten? That day, I met a gangster on the street. I tried my best to stand in front of you and get stabbed for you, but I was stabbed by the thief. At that time, you carried me back to the palace and promised to marry you.
As a wife."
"Nonsense! I don't remember this at all!" Gu Tingyu growled through gritted teeth.
Leng Shuang's face instantly turned pale, and tears fell down her face.
"My lord, how could you forget this? You promised me that you would treat me well for the rest of your life."
Gu Tingyu took a deep breath, tried his best to suppress the anger boiling in his chest, and remained silent.
Seeing that Gu Tingyu remained silent for a long time, Leng Shuang continued: "I know that I am not worthy of you, but since you have promised me, you should not break your promise."
Gu Tingyu frowned and looked at Leng Shuang, with mixed feelings in his heart.
"My lord, I know that I am from a humble background and cannot match the prince. Therefore, if the prince dislikes me and I am willing to leave the palace, I will never pester you." After Leng Shuang finished speaking, he slowly closed his door.
His eyes seemed to be waiting for Gu Tingyu's decision.
Gu Tingyu pondered for a long time and said: "Since you don't mind, I will not treat you badly. This jade pendant is a relic left to me by my queen mother and concubine, so I will give it to you."
After finishing speaking, Gu Tingyu took out a dark green jade pendant from his sleeve and handed it to Leng Shuang.
Leng Shuang took the jade pendant and raised a happy smile on her lips.
Gu Tingyu behaved like this, obviously he recognized her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Please step back first."
"yes."
Afterwards, Leng Shuang left Gu Tingyu's bedroom.
Gu Tingyu sat down leaning against the bed, reaching out to press his aching forehead, his expression filled with confusion.
He actually got engaged to Leng Shuang out of nowhere, and there was no record of Leng Shuang in his memory.
What the hell is going on?
Many pictures flashed in his mind, each picture showing him and Leng Shuang embracing each other in the garden.
"My lord, are you awake?"
Just when Gu Tingyu wanted to think carefully, the little maid's voice suddenly sounded.
Gu Tingyu looked up and saw the little maid walking over with a bowl of porridge.
"Put it on the table, I will eat it later." Gu Tingyu ordered while rubbing his temples.
The little maid hesitated for a moment, then put the porridge in her hand on the table.
"Your Majesty, you didn't sleep a wink all night last night, so you should rest your stomach now."
Gu Tingyu ignored the little maid and closed his eyes.
He really had no appetite. He had not had a drop of water all day, and he was already very hungry.
However, he must keep a clear head in order to find out what is going on?
Thinking about these troubles, Gu Tingyu gradually fell into a coma.
…
The next day, early morning.
After Gu Tingyu woke up, he felt dizzy and his body was extremely sore.
"My lord, you're awake." The little maid stood beside the bed and called softly.
Gu Tingyu squinted his eyes and looked at the situation in the house, and found that he was actually in a wing room.
Gu Tingyu thought about it secretly and finally confirmed that he was in the prime minister's house.
"You all go down, I'm tired
That's it." Gu Tingyu said indifferently.
"Yes, Your Majesty." After saying that, the two maids quietly exited the room.
Seeing everyone retreating, Gu Tingyu lifted the brocade quilt and got out of bed.
After putting on his shoes and getting off the ground, Gu Tingyu quickly walked to the window sill, opened the window and looked out.
It's okay not to look at it. When he looked at it, Gu Tingyu's pupils suddenly shrank, and his eyes were full of shock.
I saw that the courtyard where he lived was empty, and the few maids who used to attend to his daily life had disappeared.
A strong uneasiness hit Gu Tingyu's heart, making his heart feel chilly.
What on earth is going on? He just slept for a while, but the master of this courtyard has changed?!
Gu Tingyu was restless and couldn't help shouting: "Someone is coming! Someone is coming!"
Soon, footsteps were heard outside the door, and soon after, an older nanny appeared in front of Gu Tingyu's eyes.
After seeing his grandma, Gu Tingyu hurriedly ran to her, grabbed her arm and asked excitedly: "Mammy, what's going on? Why are there so many people in my yard?"
Mammy smiled kindly, patted the back of Gu Tingyu's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Your Majesty. I am here to take care of Your Majesty according to the Emperor's order."
Gu Tingyu suddenly froze on the spot and looked at his mother in disbelief.
"My lord, what are you doing here? Hurry up and wash up and eat. Today the emperor will leave for the capital."
After hearing what his grandma said, Gu Tingyu just calmed down, but he was still confused.
No, he had to find an opportunity to ask.
…
the other side.
Imperial Palace Study Room.
The emperor looked at Butler Su who was kneeling on the ground and said in a deep voice: "Butler Su, how is the matter I asked you to do?"
"Your Majesty, my subordinates obey your orders and have almost found out Gu Tingyu's life experience."
The emperor nodded and signaled Butler Su to continue the story.
Steward Su said respectfully: "Your Majesty, according to the spies' report, Gu Tingyu is not actually of royal blood."
"Oh? What does this mean?"
"Your Majesty, please read this." Steward Su took out a memorial and presented it to the Emperor.
The emperor unfolded the memorial, glanced over it quickly, and showed a slight smile on his face.
"Haha, I didn't expect that Gu Tingyu was actually the concubine of the Duke of Zhen. No wonder he didn't care about the death of Gu's legitimate son. It turned out to be because of this."
Steward Su nodded and agreed, "Your Majesty is wise."
"Steward Su, besides you, who else knows about this matter?" the emperor asked in a deep voice.
"Your Majesty, only your subordinates know about this matter."
"Okay, you did a good job."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary."
"Stay back!"
"yes."
After Butler Su exited the imperial study, a sarcastic curve formed on the emperor's lips.
"Dong Zhenguo, Duke Zhenguo, it's in vain that you are good at calculations, but you don't want to end up raising a useless son." The emperor sneered, with a dark cold light shining in his eyes. Outside the palace.
