The evil first wife who wears a book, and the future first assistant wants to kill me every day

Gu Changling hesitated for a moment, "Has His Highness placed anyone in the Emperor's harem?"

"My king once placed a beautiful concubine in my father's palace. She was quite favored some time ago and she handed out a lot of news. She was quite clever. Sir, what I mean is to let her try to see if she can sway my father." What does the emperor mean?"

Gu Changling shook his head, "Concubine Li was favored for a while by virtue of her beauty and youth. However, there are so many beauties in the emperor's harem. After all, they are just a passing cloud."

"Those who can speak well must be those who have been with the emperor since he was a prince, such as Concubine Xian."

Regarding Liu Fangru's matter, after Concubine Xian's persuasion, the emperor did not order a marriage for the time being, which shows Concubine Xian's importance to the emperor.

Lu Xingchuan frowned, "I know that Concubine Xian has been favored over the years and many people want to win her over. However, she is very sober. She has never helped anyone and does not owe anyone any favors. How can I do that?" How about asking Concubine Xian to speak for you?"

"Besides, if Concubine Xian is really willing to help speak, it will expose the identity of the husband. It is unknown whether Concubine Xian can be completely trusted."

It is said that one can be alone, but the dyeing vat in the harem is so complex that who can be completely alone?

Lu Xingchuan was naturally suspicious and didn't want to do anything risky or risk exposing Gu Changling's identity.

Gu Changling said: "We don't want Concubine Li to persuade the Emperor. She is not qualified enough and will only make the Emperor suspicious. She will be a chess piece that has been cultivated with great difficulty. All we need to do is let her approach Concubine Xian and deliver a letter to Concubine Xian."

Lu Xingchuan asked: "What letter should I send to Concubine Xian?"

"Not long ago, I accidentally discovered a weakness of Concubine Xian in the Hanlin Academy. Your Highness just needs to ask Concubine Li to bring a message to Concubine Xian, saying that you want to install one of your own as the governor, and let her help speak."

Concubine Xian could naturally see that King Qi was hostile to the prince. In this case, he wanted to put one of his own people to cause trouble, and the reason was valid.

Lu Xingchuan was surprised: "Concubine Xian is experienced and impeccable in her work. What weaknesses did Sir find out about her?"

Gu Changling said: "Yun Zhen."

"When she was young, she had a crush on Yun Zhen."

Lu Xingchuan: Concubine Xian actually loved Yun Zhen! !

Why didn't he find it?

"How did you find out, sir?"

"That's what I guessed."

It is said that it is because of Yunwei.

Yunwei once painted a picture of mist and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and coincidentally, he went to the study for something to do. When passing by the Imperial Garden, he heard Concubine Xian talking to the painter about the south of the Yangtze River in her imagination.

What Concubine Xian described seemed familiar to him, but only later did he realize that it was very similar to Yun Wei's paintings.

And when Concubine Xian described it, the longing and nostalgia in her eyes didn't seem like she was missing the scenery, but like she was missing someone.

So he went to the Hanlin Academy to read the records about the emperor's tour, and found that the emperor had traveled to the south of the Yangtze River, but Concubine Xian had not yet entered the palace at that time.

So it can't be that I miss the emperor.

He found out from Rushi that Yun Wei and Yun Zhen had been to Jiangnan when they were young.

It seems that Yun Zhen often took her to a place, so that the young Yun Wei could remember it and draw it when she grew up.

In addition, Concubine Xian loves roses, and there is a large area of ​​roses in Biqiong Courtyard, which made him think of it.

Lu Xing also praised: "Sir, you are really careful, I admire you."

Gu Changling shook his head, "It's just a rough guess. Now I have to go and try it boldly."

"Then I will deliver a letter to Concubine Li when I get back. I will also use my connections to try my best to speak for you and dispel my father's idea."

At this point, Lu Xingchuan stopped talking and thought for a moment without saying anything more.

He just reached out and patted Gu Changling's shoulder, "Sir, you can also think about whether there is a better strategy when you go back. You and I have been together through thick and thin. No matter what, I will not give up on you."

He used me and was no longer the king. At this moment, the two of them were just like the care and greetings between ordinary friends.

Gu Changling smiled and patted his shoulder as well, "Well, let me go back and think about it."

……

The night was as dark as ink, and it was so thick that it couldn't be dissolved. After returning to Gu's house, Gu Changling didn't even have time to change his clothes, so he went straight to Feng Qingxuan.

How could that woman wait for him obediently in Lanju? She must have returned to Feng Qingxuan.

But when he stepped in, Feng Qingxuan's room was silent.

There were no candles in the house, and there was no maid keeping vigil at the door. The night wind passed through the hall, blowing down a few sycamore leaves, and swirled down at his feet.

As soon as a house loses its popularity, it will soon feel desolate.

Gu Changling stood in the courtyard, looking at the closed door, without moving for a long time.

Along the way, the subtle and indescribable joy in the chest gradually returned to silence, and the silence was unable to make waves again.

"cousin?"

Gu Changling turned around and saw Ruoyu coming out of the east room holding a lantern and standing behind him.

Ruoyu was surprised, it was really his cousin, it was the first time he saw his cousin dressed in black.

At first she heard the noise and saw the man in black, thinking it was...

Ruoyu walked over and said, "Cousin, why are you dressed like this?"

Gu Changling did not reply, but asked: "Where is she?"

"Sister Yun went back to her parents' house and said... she won't come back."

Ruoyu said cautiously, but she still saw her cousin's expression gradually becoming tense.

Looking at it like this, my cousin really cares about Sister Yun.

But she didn't understand, "Cousin, what happened between you and Sister Yun? Is it because of what happened this afternoon? Sister Yun just came to watch the game in the afternoon. It was really a coincidence that she met that king. I can testify that. .”

"Go back and get some rest early." Gu Changling turned back to Lanju without hearing what she said.

"Cousin, aren't you going to pick up Sister Yun? Sister Yun is very easy to talk to. Cousin..."

Ruoyu shouted from behind, Gu Changling paused slightly, but in the end he didn't look back.

If he can't answer it, the woman doesn't have him in her heart.

Besides leaving, he didn't have the time to deal with her anymore, nor did he have the time to care about who she flirted with, nor did he have the time to... worry about those irrelevant emotions.

Gu Zhai finally fell silent.

How good.

It's what he used to like.

When they returned to Lanju, Thumin hurriedly came to greet him and asked with concern: "Sir, what is the matter that His Highness summoned you so urgently?"

Gu Changling untied his cloak and handed it to Tuming casually, "Nothing, it's just that His Highness received news that the Emperor wants to appoint me as the governor of Lin'an and assist in supervising the change of rice to mulberry."

The adults said it calmly, but Thumin felt like there was a thunder above his head. Although he was simple-minded, he also understood the intricate relationship.

Worried: "Do you have any good ideas, sir?"

Gu Changling sat at the table, rubbing his brows, looking a little tired, "No, just take a step and see."

Thumin felt that the adult seemed very tired, so he didn't ask any more questions. Asking about the melon seeds in his head couldn't help much, so he simply changed the topic.

"My lord, the princess is gone."

"Ah."

Um?Just one eh?Shouldn't adults be happy? The woman is finally gone.

"Thummin, bring me some water. I want to bathe."

"oh oh."

Tuming quickly prepared hot water, and Gu Changling walked into the clean room and took off his black clothes.

Several scratches on his chest and back have slightly scabbed over, and a tooth mark on his shoulder has gradually turned into a deep purple mark.

Gu Changling sat in the bathtub, thinking of the woman's resistance, and closed his eyes.

She can find a waiter or go to Lichunfang, it's so casual.

Only against him, from beginning to end, was resistance.

At this moment, Gu Changling was thankful that King Qi's timely letter prevented him from being drunk.

Otherwise, how should he deal with himself afterwards?

In the past, the image of her being superior and looking down on him came to mind.

Gu Changling laughed at himself. In her eyes, from beginning to end, he was probably not even comparable to those little brats...

……

It was almost midnight, and the red lantern in front of the Duke's Mansion was still burning brightly. The gatekeeper leaned against the doorpost and yawned, when he suddenly heard the clatter of horse hooves.

A simple carriage stopped at the door.

Lifting the curtain, the young master walked out, dressed in green clothes. His eyebrows were as gentle as jade. A red mark on one side of his face destroyed that gentle feeling.
