The real daughter's life was stolen, and she was reborn and became the best in the capital

Gu Jiarou, who was originally furious, suddenly paused when she heard this, and the thing in her hand did not fall towards She Hua as before.

Shehua was originally frightened and stood close to the door.

My body was stiff.

His eyelashes were trembling.

I was afraid that the princess would get angry and not care about anything and would really throw something at people.

Seeing the princess's stunned expression, her face gradually relaxed. She breathed a sigh of relief and walked towards where Gu Jiarou was.

When I got closer, I saw that there was an obvious slap mark on the princess's fair face under her messy black hair.

Shehua's eyes widened in shock.

This was the first time the princess was beaten.

But how could she dare to ask at this time? It was easy to guess who had given her the slap mark.

No wonder the princess was so angry today.

She could only lower her eyes, pretending not to see it, and called Gu Jiarou cautiously.

"Princess."

Seeing that the princess was silent, he only glanced at her calmly and asked her, "Where is the letter?"

Shehua naturally did not dare to neglect it.

"It's hidden in my sleeve." Shehua said, and first carefully took the teapot from Gu Jiarou's hand. Seeing that the princess still looked bad, but did not have an attack, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shehua put the teapot aside, reached out to support Gu Jiarou, stepped over the mess on the floor, and sat on the clean Huchuang inside.

Only then did he hand the letter that he had carefully hidden in his sleeve to Gu Jiarou.

She didn't know the content of the letter, nor did she know why the princess and Miss Mingliu were communicating.

However, the princess had reminded her since the Qianqiu Banquet.

Ask her to contact Xiao Yizi and tell her that Miss Mingliu will send her a message through Shunji shop outside.

The Shunji shop was originally opened by these eunuchs themselves. Whenever there was any news in the palace, or when palace maids or concubines wanted to sell something, they would all go through this shop.

During this period, the princess would ask from time to time, and she was very upset because she didn't get any news.

If it weren't for Concubine Xian's strict supervision, the princess would probably have to leave the palace on her own.

The princess was in a bad mood, so her personal servant naturally became worried and trembling with fear as well.

Shehua was very happy today when he finally heard some news from Xiao Yizi.

When she got the news, she immediately ran over there, and after getting the letter, she ran back immediately.

"Master, what did Miss Mingliu say to you?" She Hua stood aside.

She had already poured another bowl of tea for Gu Jiarou.

Without Gu Jiarou's instructions, she didn't dare to peek at the contents of the letter, and just greeted carefully from the side.

This was in the past.

The princess must have given her the letter long ago and let her read it herself.

But not today.

Not only that, the princess folded the letter in half and told her, "Go get a fire starter."

Shehua is surprised.

But he also knew that the princess was going to burn the letter.

Although she was surprised, she obviously did not dare to go against Gu Jiarou's wishes. She quickly agreed and went to get a fire starter and a clean basin.

Gu Jiarou burned the letter with the tinder in Shehua's hand.

Seeing the flames gradually spread and turned the letter into ashes, Gu Jiarou suddenly said, "I will leave the palace in three days."

In the letter, Mingyao said that she had already thought of a way to get Brother Jingheng to marry her.

And three days later...

It was Brother Jingheng’s day off.

Thinking of Brother Jingheng and how gentle he had been to her in the past, Gu Jiarou's furious heart suddenly became tender and affectionate again.

She had never seen a man more gentle than Brother Jingheng.

She must marry Brother Jingheng!

Which of the people chosen by my mother can compare with Brother Jingheng? She doesn't want to marry them!

I don’t know what method Mingyao is thinking of, but no matter what it is, as long as it can allow her to marry Brother Jingheng, it’s good.

Her mood suddenly brightened.

The corners of his mouth also curled up into a smile.

But when Shehua heard this, his eyes widened in shock again.

The princess is leaving the palace?

How, how is this possible?

Without even thinking, she hurriedly and helplessly tried to stop him, "No, no, the queen has been watching you closely these days, and she will definitely not let you go out."

I never did that before.

What's more, the princess was beaten today.

The Queen will only look at the princess more strictly.

Gu Jiarou hated it most when others disobeyed her, so she immediately scolded him, "Fool, if I go out, I will naturally not let my mother know."

When Shehua heard her say this, he became even more panicked.

She still wants to stop it.

But Gu Jiarou had already been wronged today and was in a bad mood. She finally got good news, but was repeatedly blocked by people around her. How could she tolerate this with her spoiled temper?

His face immediately darkened, and he angrily rebuked him again: "If you say that again, you will go to the Ministry of Punishment today. From now on, I will not need you to serve me here!"

The Ministry of Punishment was the place where palace people who committed crimes were dealt with.

Anyone who goes in there won't be able to come out safely.

Shehua's face turned pale, and he dared not speak anymore.

Gu Jiarou did not dare to force her at this time, lest the girl complain to her mother. If her mother really knew that she was going out to meet Brother Jingheng secretly, she would definitely stop her.

Although she is spoiled, she also knows how to restrain herself.

After a slap, he gave her some sweet dates.

"Okay, I know you're worried about me, but I just made an appointment with Mingyao to go out and play, and I'll be back after playing."

"You are smart. Watch here. Mother is busy with work and won't come to my place on weekdays. Even if she wants to come, you just need to say that I was beaten and I am sad. Don't let anyone see it."

"I will disguise myself as a palace maid and make sure I come back safe and sound."

It was rare for Gu Jiarou to speak nicely to She Hua.

Shehua was actually still hesitant.

This is really too dangerous. If people knew about it, or if something happened to the princess outside, then...

When Shehua thought of this, his face turned pale again.

But when he opened his mouth to persuade her, he paused again when he saw the princess's face turned cold again.

Shehua knew that he could not persuade the princess.

If you don't want to be sent to the Ministry of Punishment, you can only obey the princess's orders.

"……Yes."

She lowered her head, and even though she felt helpless, she had no choice but to agree to Gu Jiarou.

Seeing that she agreed, Gu Jiarou finally felt relieved and started to smile again: "I knew you were the best."

She was so excited that not even a trace of the previous gloom could be seen.

Just waiting to leave the palace in three days to meet Ming Jingheng.

……

And the other side.

Gu Changxuan asked the palace maid and learned that his father was handling official business in the Wende Hall, so he walked towards the Wende Hall.

Unexpectedly, I met Gu Changze on the way before reaching Wende Hall.

The two brothers met.

Gu Changxuan didn't know that his elder brother had already known about his relationship with Li Chang. He just like before, immediately and eagerly greeted the man when he saw him.

"Big brother."

Gu Changxuan greeted Gu Changze respectfully and humbly.

Gu Changze looked at him.

Looking at Gu Changxuan's earnest and respectful appearance which had remained the same for the past ten years, if it weren't for the note back then, he really wouldn't have thought that his fourth brother was hiding so deeply.

There was an undercurrent in his eyes, but he still looked like a good brother.

Holding Gu Changxuan's arm, Gu Changze smiled and said, "Are you here to see the emperor?"

After expressing their thanks, Gu Changxuan and Gu Changze stood up straight.

Hearing this, he replied in a gentle voice: "I came to the palace to visit my mother. I just came out from my mother's place and came to pay my respects to my father."

Gu Changze nodded: "Among the brothers, you are the most filial."

When Gu Changxuan heard this, he immediately became terrified and said, "Big brother, I dare not accept your words. I just have nothing to do, so I walk more frequently. I am not like you who shoulder heavy responsibilities and have to share the worries for the emperor."

Gu Changze looked at him and smiled: "There's no need to be so particular when talking to each other, brothers."

"Father is inside, you can go in." Gu Changze said, patted Gu Changxuan's arm again, then withdrew his hand and walked forward.

"Brother, walk slowly."

Gu Changxuan turned around, still maintaining a respectful attitude, and saw Gu Changze off in the direction he left.

Only after the footsteps faded away did Gu Changxuan stand up again and turn to walk towards the Wende Hall.

And the other side.

Gu Changze, who was about to leave, stopped again without knowing when.

He turned around and looked in the direction where Gu Changxuan left.

At this moment, there was no trace of the previous gentleness on his face, and his eyes were as cold as stars.

"Have you found the person?"

He was asking Chang Bao who was behind him.

Chang Bao knew what he was asking, and quickly replied: "The person has been found and is on his way back. He will probably arrive in another day."

Gu Changze hummed lightly.

"Find someone to pass a note to Yuan Yu. Fan You can be interrogated now."

Fan You was the minor official from the Ministry of Works who met Gu Changxuan in Xiangshan that day, and the person Gu Changze had mentioned earlier was none other than Fan You's family member who was secretly detained by Gu Changxuan.

After Gu Changze gave his instructions, he withdrew his gaze and left first.

Little did he know that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind it. Song He had also received the news.
