The prince supports her, and the reborn princess kills people

In the following time, Gu Ruxiao told the princess that Rong Lan came to the princess's mansion to sincerely apologize.

Shen Qingyan seemed to be thinking about something, and felt somewhat respectful for Rong Lan's behavior.

"There are not many officials in the court who can bend and stretch as he does, and who can correct their mistakes."

If everyone was like him, Gu Beihuai would have fewer worries.

Gu Ruxiao muttered quietly: "Anyway, I think he has some problems. It's a pity for his face."

Shen Qingyan raised her eyebrows, showing interest. "You seem to be very interested in Lord Rong's face? But he does look a bit like my brother..."

As soon as these words came out, Gu Ruxiao blushed immediately and quickly defended herself, "That's not what I meant. He doesn't look like Master Shen. Don't talk nonsense, sister-in-law!"

He looked so anxious, as if he wished he had eight mouths.

Shen Qingyan smiled brightly, "I just said it casually, why are you so anxious? Besides, even if he really looks like my brother, so what? After all, we are different."

The more she spoke, the redder Gu Ruxiao's face became, and her cheeks were as beautiful as peach blossoms after the rain.

"Sister-in-law, please stop teasing me!"

Shen Qingyan smiled slyly and teased even more vigorously.

"In fact, I think that Lord Rong is quite nice. He even came to apologize to you. Although his sister is annoying, his good temper is rare. It can help to neutralize your violent temper..."

Seeing that Shen Qingyan's words were getting more and more outrageous, Gu Ruxiao's face seemed to be burned red by the fiery clouds in the sky. In shame and anger, he reached out to scratch Shen Qingyan's armpits.

"The Emperor's sister-in-law is talking nonsense again. I won't get along with him!"

The two of them laughed and made a scene.

*

At the same time, the imperial study room.

As soon as Gu Beihuai entered the room, Rong Lan and Lu Jiuxiao bowed respectfully.

Without even glancing at him, he asked in a cold voice, "What's the important matter you want to report?"

What I mean is, you'd better have something serious.

Before Rong Lan could speak, Lu Jiuxiao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, it's nothing important. I just came to visit my cousin, the princess. I heard she is in Zhaohua Palace, right? I'll go right away."

"stop."

Gu Beihuai's cold shout made Lu Jiuxiao stop in his tracks.

The gloom in his eyes disappeared in an instant, and when he turned around, he still looked nonchalant.

"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Gu Beihuai's deep eyes looked at him coldly, like an ice cone, as if to pierce through his body and mind.

"You sneaked out again?"

Gu Chenan sneered in his heart. Lu Jiuxiao's father, who was in control of everything, wanted to tie him up tightly in that broken villa. Of course, he would not let him run around, so he used some tricks to prevent him from interfering with his whereabouts.

But on the surface, he still pretended to be flustered and said quickly: "Your Majesty, please don't tell my father, I beg you."

Gu Beihuai was still looking at him deeply, his face stern.

"Why do you come to look for Ruxiao again and again? What is your purpose?"

Of course it was for Yan'er. Zhaohua Palace was the harem and outsiders were not allowed to enter. He could go there at any time when Shen Qingyan was in the princess's mansion, but now he could only use Gu Ruxiao as an excuse.

So he smiled awkwardly and muttered in a guilty tone, "I just got a new thing and wanted to show it to my cousin, the princess..."

Gu Beihuai naturally saw through that shy look.

"If you dare to have any ideas about Ruxiao, I advise you to restrain yourself, otherwise I will not consider your father's face."

Gu Chenan sneered at this in his heart, but agreed on the surface.

As soon as the person left, Rong Lan couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, I think there seems to be something wrong with Mr. Lu."

Gu Beihuai frowned, and his tone was even colder than when he faced Lu Jiuxiao just now.

"You have met him only a few times. How did you know that something was wrong with him? I said, if there is something important, report it. If there is nothing important, leave."

Rong Lan lowered his eyes, not daring to waste time, and quickly made his point short.

"Regarding my sister's conspiracy against Princess Yu and Consort Zhao, I know that she will not escape death, but..."

Gu Beihuai interrupted him coldly, "If you are here to plead for her, there is no need to say more."

Anyone who dares to hurt his Yan'er, no matter who it is, will not be enough if he dies ten thousand times.

Rong Lan felt a chill down his spine. Although Gu Beihuai was firm in his attitude, he knew that this was his only chance and it would be too late if he didn't say anything.

He knelt on the ground and kowtowed heavily.

"Your Majesty, I don't need to be the Prime Minister, as long as I can save Fenghua's life, I can punish her in any way. She is my only relative in this world. If Your Majesty can spare her life, I am willing to go to Shuzhou and solve the drought problem that has plagued it for a long time. If I can't solve it well, I am willing to die to apologize!"

After saying this, he kowtowed again, and the sound of his forehead hitting the ground was particularly clear in the imperial study.

Gu Beihuai didn't say anything, so he just kept kowtowing.

Not long after, Rong Lan's forehead was broken and blood was flowing down. It was obvious that it was really hit hard. Even Su Peichang who was standing by couldn't bear to watch it.

The silent and depressing atmosphere lasted for a long time, and Gu Beihuai finally spoke.

"The drought in Shuzhou is a problem that the previous dynasty needs to solve today. The only upstream canal is within the territory of Zhanri Country. In order to control us Tianfeng, they deliberately diverted the canal, resulting in Shuzhou downstream being unable to obtain water. We have negotiated with Zhanri Country on this matter many times but to no avail. Are you sure you can think of a solution?"

Rong Lan knew that if he took on this matter, it would be like taking on a hot potato, but in order to save Rong Fenghua's life, he had to do so.

After all, Rong Fenghua is his sister. No matter how big a mistake she makes, she must be kept alive. If she dies, he will be sorry for his grandmother.

So he kowtowed again and said those two words firmly.

"determine."

"Okay." Gu Beihuai agreed. "Since you are sincere in doing this, I will not stop you. I will keep Rong Fenghua's life for you. When you solve the drought problem in Shuzhou, I will consider letting her life return to the Rong Mansion."

Although it was just a "consideration", it made Rong Lan feel greatly relieved.

As long as I can save my life.

"I thank the emperor."

After dealing with the matter of Lu Jiuxiao and Rong Lan, Gu Beihuai hurried back to Zhaohua Palace, but was unexpectedly told that Shen Qingyan, Gu Ruxiao and Lu Jiuxiao went for a walk in the Imperial Garden.

Helplessly, he had to set out for the Imperial Garden.

The flowers in the Imperial Garden are in full bloom, especially the wintersweet and Christmas cactus, which are in full bloom.

Gu Ruxiao and Gu Chenan walked on both sides of Shen Qingyan to protect her.

Gu Chenan's eyes looked at Shen Qingyan's bulging belly from time to time, his mind full of thoughts.

How great it would be if this was his and Yan'er's child.

If it weren't for Gu Beihuai, he and Yan'er would probably be happier and more comfortable than them.

Thinking of this, he became more determined to get rid of Gu Beihuai as soon as possible.

At this moment, Shen Qingyan's feet suddenly slipped and she seemed to be tripped by something.
