The man from her previous life seemed to appear before Gu Qinlian's eyes. He had already toasted Gu Qinlan, then turned and left, with a smug look on his face and an unconcealable joy in his eyes.

After three rounds of drinking, Gu Qinlan turned to the old princess and said gently, "Mother, I am a little drunk and want to go out for some fresh air."

"Well, how about letting Madam Dou accompany you? Or Miss Du?"

Gu Qinlan glanced at Dongfang Hongye, who was also surrounded by the crowd and had difficulty escaping, and then looked at Du Minyun, who seemed to be chasing a man in a white robe. A hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and he shook his head gently:

"No need, mother, I'll take Wocan with me."

Upon hearing this, the old princess naturally trusted Wocan's martial arts, so she assured him, "Well, be careful and go back quickly."

Gu Qinlan nodded in response, and then left with Wocan.

Gu Qinlan did not go towards the Imperial Garden, but instead walked along a quiet path.

The girl beside him couldn't help but ask curiously, "Miss, what are you going to do?"

“Creating opportunities, of course, is for others.”

Eyebags were obviously confused. Seeing this, Gu Qinlan smiled and said softly, "I forgot your existence. Now you should hide first and don't show up."

"Understood……"

The bags under the eyes disappeared like ghosts, leaving no trace.

Gu Qinlan smiled lightly and continued walking forward.

Not long ago, someone handed her a suspicious drink, and now she wanted to see what the other party's intention was.

However, just after taking a few steps, he heard Du Yusheng's call from behind.

Gu Qinlan turned around and looked at Du Yusheng helplessly: "Big Brother..."

Du Yusheng panted slightly. Seeing Gu Qinlan turning back, he said angrily, "Don't call me senior brother anymore! I don't have a junior sister as unscrupulous as you! Do you know what you just did?"

When Gu Qinlian heard this, a hint of realization flashed across her eyes.

Although she knew that Du Yusheng was fully aware of the matter and was convinced that he would provide cover for her, she did not tell him in advance, which inevitably made him unhappy.

Gu Qinlan said to Du Yusheng helplessly:

"Brother, please calm down. This is my negligence. I will definitely inform you in advance next time."

"next time?"

Du Yusheng's tone suddenly rose, revealing a bit of surprise, but then he realized that he was in the palace, so he deliberately lowered his voice:

"This is blasphemy against the king! How dare you talk about next time? Besides, why did you make trouble out of nothing and provoke the Fourth Prince? Has our Prince Duan's Mansion decided to join a certain force?"

Du Yusheng had a headache at the moment.

His junior sister was so bold and presumptuous that she even dared to act recklessly in front of the royal family!

What’s more crucial is that all battles for the throne have always been fraught with risks, with life and death uncertain!

If you choose to take sides easily and fail, the whole family will face a catastrophe!

Gu Qinlan saw that Du Yusheng was angry, and understood that he was actually caring for her, so she gently comforted him:

"Brother, please calm down. Prince Duan's Mansion has not chosen to join any party, and will not make a decision easily."

Du Yusheng's expression softened slightly after hearing Gu Qinlan's explanation, but he still said seriously:

"Really? Then why did you plot against the Fourth Prince? Don't you know that he looks kind but is actually cruel and ruthless?"

"When he first returned to the palace, a medicine boy offended him. He did not get angry at the time, but the next day, the medicine boy was found drowned in the river!"

"I am the only one who knows that the medicine boy is good at swimming, so... this looks like an accident, but in fact it is a deliberate murder."

It was this incident that made Du Yusheng deeply wary of the Fourth Prince, so he became so worried after learning that Gu Qinlan was plotting against the Fourth Prince.

Gu Qinlan was not surprised when she heard this.

Ever since she came into contact with the Fourth Prince, she knew that he was not a good person.

Thinking of the purpose of his trip, Gu Qinlan said to Du Yusheng:

"Brother, I have kept your words in mind. Please go back first."

"How can that be possible? You must come back with me. This is the imperial palace. Who knows if the Fourth Prince will suddenly attack you?"

Du Yusheng shook his head firmly and refused to leave.

Gu Qinlan had already noticed a strange fragrance in the air, and sighed, saying:

"If you don't leave now, it will be too late."

Du Yusheng frowned, his face full of confusion, he didn't seem to fully understand what Gu Qinlan meant. However, in a flash, a wisp of fragrant aroma came to his nose, his face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed:

"Misty soft!"

Before he finished speaking, Du Yusheng was about to raise his hands to cover his own and Gu Qinlan's mouths and noses, but was easily stopped by Gu Qinlan.

A trace of shock and confusion flashed in Du Yusheng's eyes, and he stared straight at Gu Qinlan.

Gu Qinlan smiled slightly and said calmly:

"Brother, you are right. The Fourth Prince has ulterior motives and will take revenge for any slight. His counterattack is already here."

"Then you plan to..."

“A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Gu Qinlan quickly took out a small pill from her sleeve and stuffed it into Du Yusheng's palm. She then put one in her own mouth, found a comfortable position, and slowly lay down on the ground.

Du Yusheng was stunned for a moment, sighed inwardly, and realized that Gu Qinlan had already made up all this. He couldn't help but laugh at his unnecessary worry.

How could my junior sister be easily plotted against by others?

It is rare for her not to plot against others, let alone being plotted against by others?

Although he still had doubts about the enemy's intentions, Du Yusheng did not dare to let Gu Qinlan's plan go wrong, so he swallowed the pill without hesitation and fell to the ground side by side with Gu Qinlan.

After both of them fell down, a pair of exquisite embroidered shoes slowly appeared in their sight and stopped in front of them:

"Take them away."

"As ordered!"

Inside the side hall.

Concubine He glanced at Gu Qinlan and Du Yusheng who were carried into the palace, then turned her gaze to the servants who led them here and shouted angrily:

"Why is there one more?"

The servant knelt hurriedly and explained nervously, "Reporting to the concubine, Madam Du was talking to the Duan Wangfei at that time. I was worried that it would delay the concubine's important matter, so I brought the two of them together..."

Hearing this, Concubine He showed anger on her face and scolded: "Foolish and ignorant thing... You really are..."

"enough."

Before Concubine He finished her words, the Fourth Prince, who was sitting on a mahogany chair beside her, was playing with a string of Buddhist beads. He interrupted her rebuke calmly, turned his gaze to the servant, and asked in a deep voice:

"You said they were talking when you arrived?"

"Yes, I saw from a distance that they seemed to be having a pleasant conversation."

The servant was trembling with fear and did not dare to hide anything, and answered respectfully.

After hearing this, the Fourth Prince's mouth curled up slightly.

I see……

It turns out that Gu Qinlan is actually good friends with Du Yusheng!

Today, not only was he being chased by Lao Ba, Lao Jiu and others, but he also had to "thank" the Imperial Doctor Du for putting him in such a situation!
