Shao Wei looked up suddenly.

Gu Qinghe looked at him with a smile, "Someone told me that he could help me find out about the Chen family and clear my brother's name. I only need to marry him and don't have to worry about anything or ask any questions. Do you think this is feasible?"

"Is it Wei Yanzhou?" Shao Wei's eyes, which had just been a little gleaming, suddenly darkened. He said to Gu Qinghe, "No, Wei Yanzhou is the best at sweet talk. Don't be fooled by him."

He looked at Gu Qinghe, not missing any of her expressions.

But it was clear that his own nervousness was palpable.

Normally, I could still hide some of those turbulent emotions, but now, I couldn't hide them at all.

Gu Qinghe was a little dazed. She thought carefully about the scene in her previous life when Shao Wei went to ask her when he learned that she was going to marry Wei Yanzhou.

She recalled every word Shao Wei said and every expression on his face.

So, was he also moved in his previous life?

Gu Qinghe was a little unclear. After all, the interactions between the two in their previous lives were far less than in this life, and he was a person who was very good at hiding his feelings.

In addition, she was in a state of confusion every day at that time. On the one hand, she was trapped in the sudden disaster of the Chen family and couldn't extricate herself. On the other hand, she regarded Wei Yanzhou's gentle coaxing as her salvation. How could she pay attention to Shao Wei's mood?

And now, she seemed to be back to that day, standing in front of Shao Wei, who rushed to her with a stern face and looked exhausted.

Finally, I saw the very appropriate emotions hidden under his anxiety and disappointment.

"Wei Yanzhou is not a good man. The Chen family's affairs cannot be easily resolved by him alone. His words may not be credible."

"But who can I trust in this huge capital city?"

Shao Wei opened his mouth and said, "I said I would help you."

Of course he would help her because he owed her a favor. Gu Qinghe didn't want to know whether his words were true or not, but in her opinion, it was too slow.

The tragedy of her happy home collapsing overnight was so traumatic for Gu Qinghe that she didn't want to think about anything else. She paralyzed herself and just wanted to give herself an answer as soon as possible.

Whether Wei Yanzhou can be trusted or not is faster than for her to figure it out on her own.

So when Shao Wei asked, "Have you thought it through?", she nodded so firmly.

When he asked if she regretted it, she said firmly, "No regrets."

She trusted others too easily and looked down on herself. Although she couldn't say that she didn't regret it, she had already paid the price and there was nothing to say.

She looked at Shao Wei with amusement, her eyebrows slightly curved, "Then who can do it? General Shao?"

Shao Wei shook his head, as if he was touched by the smile in her eyes. His cold eyes were also more or less tinged with smile, with a touch of tenderness. "You have the answer, don't you?"

Yes.

Of course she had the answer. When she opened her eyes in this life, she knew very well that the person she had to trust was herself.

Shao Wei said: "But I hope that, besides yourself, I will be the first person you think of when you need help."

"of course."

Gu Qinghe took a step forward. The mask on Shao Wei's face was one that Gu Qinghe bought casually. It was made of cold and hard silver metal with a casual outline of a golden edge. It covered his overly handsome face, making it look a bit more rugged.

She said bluntly: "You like me."

This really caught Shao Wei off guard.

As she wished, she saw the tips of Shao Wei's ears turned red at lightning speed, and Gu Qinghe almost laughed out loud.

She knew she was right. If Shao Wei didn't have this intention, he would have just given her an extremely puzzled look and said, "What nonsense are you talking about?"

The red tips of his ears served as his answer, and it was useless even if he denied it.

Gu Qinghe laughed, finally stopped teasing him, and pulled him forward.

It is too early to talk about these things now. If one day Chen Qingshan's grievances are cleared, perhaps when she lifts Shao Wei's mask, she can peck his pale lips without hesitation.

"Speaking of which, I have something else I want to ask you. Has the princess from Lirang decided on a bride?"

She was relaxed. After teasing him for a while, she immediately acted as if nothing had happened, leaving Shao Wei alone with his heart wavering.

Glancing at her from time to time.

"It's settled," Shao Wei said, "Princess Lirang fell in love with the Crown Prince at first sight, and His Majesty has approved the marriage."

"Love at first sight?" Gu Qinghe was a little surprised.

And the person she fell in love with at first sight was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Gu Qinghe once again became curious about the princess who was to be married off to foreign countries.

Could it be that the princess who married into another country had the same experience as her?

Or is there some other reason.

Why did she choose His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

The people of Lirang could not be unaware of the situation in Ruichao. Compared to the Fourth Prince, the Crown Prince is actually not favored, and the title of heir apparent is just a gimmick.

Perhaps she knew this reason and chose to marry His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. After all, if she married the favored Fourth Prince, the first thing he would do when he inherited the throne would be to get rid of her.

But unfortunately, if she really thought so, then she made the wrong choice.

Gu Qinghe remembered that when she was dying in her previous life, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had already shown a lot of potential.

Gu Qinghe was shocked, "What is the attitude of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"According to His Majesty's decree, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will naturally marry her."

It doesn't matter what his attitude is.

This is true.

Shao Wei sent Gu Qinghe back. There were people guarding Yao Fangzhi, and he also sent people to be beside Yao Shiliang. If Yao Shiliang made any moves, he would definitely not escape his eyes.

The news of Yao Fangzhi's disappearance soon reached Yao Shiliang's ears.

Yao Shiliang was furious. Although he knew that his son had made many enemies, those people would not dare to do such a thing because of the status of the Yao family.

After thinking for a long time, he asked people to protect the pregnant concubine Liu and make sure nothing went wrong. Then he sent people out to search for Yao Fangzhi's whereabouts.

As Gu Qinghe expected, she was invited to Yao Mansion the next day.

Aunt Liu was weak and she didn't care about the fetus in her belly, so Yao Shiliang had people keep a close eye on her day and night to prevent her from harming the fetus in her belly.

But you can't just force someone to drink the food directly into their mouth if they don't want to.

Yao Shiliang simply sent someone to capture the person that Aunt Liu was thinking about.

Since Aunt Liu refused to eat or drink, he attacked the man.

As a result, Aunt Liu could only take care of her pregnancy peacefully.

But she was depressed and had a lot of resentment towards Yao Shiliang, so naturally the fetus in her womb was in poor condition.

The imperial physician in the palace prescribed various pregnancy-preserving medicines, but the effects were not significant.

There was no other choice, so Yao Shiliang had to ask someone to invite Gu Qinghe over.
