Rebirth with my ex-husband

Chapter 73

The Grand Prince's Mansion.

When Li Ji heard that the imperial concubine went to the residence of Marquis Zhongyi today, he immediately went to the East Garden.

But he was stopped before he entered the house.

"The imperial concubine has asked me to tell your Highness that she has been feeling unwell these days and is worried that I cannot serve you well. Please go to Concubine Chen's place."

Li Ji was about to walk past the maid without saying anything. The maid tried to stop him, but he glanced at her with a slightly cold expression and said in a cold voice, "Get out of the way."

The maidservant didn't dare to stop him anymore.

Li Ji pushed the door open and entered the room, and saw Xie Yiran sitting up on the bed. Her face was pale and she looked listless.

He had come here with anger, but when he saw her like this, his anger subsided a little.

"What's wrong with your body?" Li Ji asked.

When she saw her husband, Xie Yiran felt a wave of irritation in her heart, but after calming down for half a day, she had suppressed her emotions in her heart.

"The imperial physician said that she had a miscarriage and was severely deficient. She has not been resting properly recently and is feeling unwell."

Thinking of her miscarriage, Li Ji felt somewhat guilty, as it was somewhat related to Concubine Chen.

"Since you are not feeling well, you should just take good care of yourself in your residence. Why did you go to the residence of Marquis Zhongyi?"

Xie Yiran replied, "Yesterday I ran into Madam Gu and Miss Gu at Jinyue Temple, and we had a vegetarian meal together. Today Miss Gu invited me to have tea, and I couldn't refuse."

Li Ji's expression tightened slightly: "Why did she invite you over?"

Xie Yiran felt that his nervousness at that moment was because he was afraid that what Concubine Chen had done to Madam Gu would be exposed, and he sneered in his heart.

"I don't know either. After I went to the Marquis' Mansion, Madam Gu really just drank tea with me and didn't say anything else."

"You really don't have anything else to say?"

Xie Yiran looked puzzled: "What else can Madam Gu say to me?"

Li Ji saw no sign of lying in his wife, with whom he had been married for five years, and said, "It would be better for you to have less contact with the Marquis Zhongyi's mansion in the future."

Xie Yiran nodded: "I can save myself the trouble."

After a slight pause, she continued, "I am not feeling well. Your Highness should go to Concubine Chen's place to rest for the time being."

Li Ji was slightly stunned. Although his wife was virtuous and considerate, she had never been magnanimous enough to persuade him to go to Xiyuan.

This suddenly made him go to Xiyuan, and he actually felt a little uncomfortable.

After a moment of silence, he said "Have a good rest" and left the house.

He didn't notice that the moment he turned around, his wife's face turned completely cold.

After everyone left, Xie Yiran got out of bed, opened the window, and looked towards the direction of Xiyuan.

His eyes gradually became cold, and he let Concubine Chen live a peaceful life for a few more days.

*

Early in the morning, when it was still light, the servants were cleaning every corner of the mansion in an orderly and careful manner.

A servant passed by the front yard and hurried to Qingchen Garden.

When I met Xia Ke outside the yard, I told her the news.

When Su Yun was washing up, Xia Ke also told Su Yun about this.

"Last night at about 11:00 p.m., there was another fight in Chunfeng Tower."

When Su Yun heard the words "Chunfeng Tower", she paused while fixing her hair, thought for a moment, and asked the other maids to leave, leaving only Chu Yi and Xia Ke to help.

Su Yun looked at Xia Ke: "Who is this related to?" Otherwise, no matter how much trouble there was, Xia Ke would not tell her specifically.

Xia Ke replied: "He is the young master of the Chen family, the younger brother of Concubine Chen of the Great Imperial Palace."

Su Yun looked puzzled: "Why is there a commotion again? Was it Chen Minglang who started it first?"

She thought that if Chen Minglang was the one who started it, then she would make the matter bigger and let Concubine Chen ask Li Ji for help, thus causing trouble in Li Ji's backyard.

Xia Ke shook her head: "It wasn't the young master of the Chen family who started it, but he seemed to be drunk and bumped into the guests in that building while talking, and was beaten by four or five strong men."

Su Yun raised her eyebrows: "No one stopped them?"

"I heard that they stopped them, but the dozen guards we brought were not enough to fight them. They were all knocked to the ground." At the end of her words, Xia Ke thought for a moment and added, "After hearing these words, I felt that those people were not ordinary people. It seemed that they came prepared."

Like you came prepared?

Isn't that aimed at Chen Minglang?

Chen Minglang had been bedridden for half a year because he was beaten up by Gu Shixing's men...

Su Yun paused for a moment while thinking. Gu Shixing had sent someone to beat him up before, so there might be a second time!

After thinking for a while, Su Yun looked at the bronze mirror, put the hairpin into her hair, and put on the earrings. While putting them on, she asked, "How did the person look like after being beaten? Has anyone told you who beat him?"

Xia Ke "seemed to have beaten them severely, but none of them hurt their vital parts, showing great skill. Since Chunfeng Tower was damaged, after beating them, they left a few gold bars for the madam of Chunfeng Tower and the young master of the Chen family and left."

One is the medical expenses, and the other is the repair expenses.

Hearing this, it doesn't seem like Gu Shixing's style.

If he taught Chen Minglang a lesson, he would definitely not leave any money for medical treatment.

But even if he didn't do it, Su Yun still felt that he was involved.

After putting on her makeup, she put on her coat and went out of the house towards the backyard.

Gu Shixing is taking a day off today and is practicing boxing in the small backyard.

Since most of the servants in Qingchen Garden were maids, he knew about the boxing practice in the small backyard.

It has been more than ten years since he returned to the mansion from the temple, and he has never abandoned the boxing skills that can both strengthen his body and protect himself.

This is also the reason why Gu Shixing is strong and sturdy, and not as weak or fat as other civil officials.

It was especially so that at night, he held her on the floor in the house for a long time without seeming tired.

When Su Yun went to the small backyard, Gu Shixing had just finished practicing boxing. There was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead, and even the light-colored tights on his upper body was soaked, with the flesh color faintly visible.

Because the wet clothes stuck to the body, the perfect and smooth texture on the arms was clearly visible.

He is already handsome, and with such a sexy look, how can anyone look away?

When Su Yun entered the Moon Gate and saw Gu Shixing like this, he suddenly stopped, took a few steps back, and walked out of the Moon Gate.

She turned around and told Xia Ke and Chu Yi, "Wait for me outside."

The two didn't understand why, but they responded anyway.

Su Yun breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Gu Shixing was not practicing boxing in Qinglan Garden, otherwise, with this appearance, I don’t know how many girls would have been attracted by him.

When he entered the courtyard again, Gu Shixing had already seen his wife. When he was about to leave, he saw her suddenly retreat. When he was wondering, he saw her return.

He put the sweat towel on the tray supported by the inkstand and walked towards her.

"Why did you come here today?"

He was wearing a slightly revealing outfit, and Su Yun didn't know where to look for a moment, so she had to raise her head and look at him: "I just want to ask you, is the incident at Chunfeng Tower last night related to you?"

Gu Shixing said: "I thought you came to watch me practice boxing."

"Does that really concern you?"

Gu Shixing nodded, then turned around and glanced at Mo Tai.

The little roundworm Mo Tai understood, put down his things immediately, and bowed to Su Yun: "I will take my leave first."

After Mo Tai left, Gu Shixing said, "Come with me, I will tell you in detail."

As he spoke, he walked up to the eaves, took a few steps and entered a room, and Su Yun followed him in.

There was a tea table in the room, so Su Yun sat down beside it and poured himself a cup of tea.

Gu Shi walked behind the screen, took off his clothes, and wiped his body with warm water.

Su Yun looked at the naked male body through the screen and felt a little embarrassed, and her mouth felt dry for a moment, so she drank up the tea in the cup.

He did not look towards the screen again, but looked elsewhere, urging: "Hurry up and speak."

Gu Shixing did not hide it. While wiping his body, he said to her nonchalantly, "I was the one who deliberately led the people who beat Chen Minglang last night."

Su Yun was surprised: "It really has something to do with you?!"

Gu Shixing smiled faintly and said slowly: "If nothing unexpected happens, there will be guests arriving within half an hour."

Su Yun pondered for a moment and asked tentatively, "Are you talking about the guest who beat up Chen Minglang last night?"

"good."

"who is it?"

Gu Shixing's expression gradually turned dull, and he spoke softly, "Prince Dinghuai of Shaozhou."

Su Yun, who was outside the screen, looked surprised.

After being stunned for a while, Su Yun asked, "So the people who took action last night were from Prince Dinghuai's side?"

Gu Shixing came out wearing his inner robe and looked at her, saying, "Yes, it is Prince Dinghuai."

He walked over to her and sat down as well.

Su Yun turned over the cup and poured him a cup of tea.

After Gu Shixing drank the tea, he told her in detail his plan for last night.

Su Yun also sorted it out.

Gu Shixing had previously gotten information from Liang Yong and knew that he was thinking deeply about the woman that Chen Minglang had mentioned to him, but Gu Shixing said that this matter had another use, so he did not involve Chen Minglang.

——So this is its use.

Gu Shixing continued, "I bribed Chen Minglang's drinking buddies. Last night, I took advantage of Chen Minglang's drunkenness and received instructions from the secret guards to ask him why he wanted to get close to Liang Yong. He said that his brother-in-law ordered him to do so. When I asked him about his purpose, he was cautious and refused to say anything."

At this point, Gu Shixing raised his lips slightly: "But the sentence 'it was my brother-in-law's order' is enough."

"The secret guards lurked in Chunfeng Tower last night and saw everything that happened, including the fact that Chen Minglang couldn't stand the beating and confessed, admitting that he deliberately led Liang Yong to fall in love with you."

Su Yun thought for a moment and said, "No wonder you didn't come back to your room last night."

She didn't know when Gu Shixing returned to his room. She originally thought that she would be tormented last night, but he didn't return for a long time, so she went to bed.

Hearing Su Yun's words, Gu Shixing looked at her deeply and said meaningfully: "I will make up for what I didn't finish yesterday tonight."

Su Yun smiled gently in response: "It's not that I don't respond, but..." At the end of the words, Su Yun's voice became more gentle: "I have my period."

……

It was visible to the naked eye that Gu Shixing's face changed and his brows knitted slightly. He picked up the teapot, poured another cup of herbal tea, and drank it all in one gulp.

After a while, Gu Shixing looked at her with deep eyes: "Then I'll wait."

Every word was pronounced with some emphasis.

Su Yun's smile was a little stiff.

We can’t continue this topic!

Su Yun changed the subject and asked, "What is the purpose of Prince Dinghuai coming to the Marquis' Mansion?"

Gu Shixing put down the cup, raised his chin slightly, and said, "It should be an apology."

At this point, he continued, "Now that the trouble has been diverted to the east, the eldest prince may be unable to take care of himself. If Concubine Chen continues to make trouble, he will definitely be annoyed."

He paused for a moment and looked at Su Yun: "You can also take this opportunity to do what you want."

Su Yun asked him in surprise: "Do you know what I want to do?"

Gu Shixing sneered: "I am responsible for the outside, and you are responsible for the inside. If his inner house becomes chaotic, his mind will naturally become restless. If there are external factors that give him a headache, there will be loopholes everywhere."

Su Yun curved her eyebrows, smiled lightly, and said softly: "Then I will go to see the Grand Concubine in a few days."

She couldn't just let go of everything she had endured just because she had a chance to live her life over again.

Moreover, he had already put it into action. If she had woken up a little later in her life, she would probably have experienced the pain all over again.

In this case, how could she just let it go?

Since Concubine Chen is the apple of Li Ji's eye, then let his apple of eye become a thorn in his heart. It will hurt if it is not pulled out, and it will hurt even more if it is pulled out!
