Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Gu Qianhan seemed to know what she was thinking. He explained in a low voice: "I can only barely tell who is talking."

Shen Wantang nodded and asked him softly, "Is Ah Ning in there?"

"She's not here yet, but she will be here, we just have to stay here for a while."

"Okay, let's wait and see."

"But we stand out here."

It was indeed very eye-catching, especially since she and Gu Qianhan were alone together. Although he brought a servant and she brought a maid, it was still very inappropriate for them to stand so close and so off to the side.

Shen Wantang looked around and pointed to the side: "There is a tree over there, it's quite thick, it should be able to hide someone."

"It's too far away. I can't hear what's being said inside."

Gu Qianhan did not shy away from the fact that he was planning to eavesdrop, and he even asked Shen Wantang: "Do you want to hear what's being said inside?"

Shen Wantang wanted to talk but didn't want to listen. She eavesdropped on the prince's conversation. Did she want to die?

But Gu Qianhan added: "Just now the prince seemed to be talking about how to deceive An Ning."

This... eavesdropping on a few words shouldn't result in death, right?

She lowered her voice very low: "Where can I hear what's going on inside?"

Gu Qianhan waved at the servant, signaling him to take Shen Wantang's maid away from here.

Jixiang then went to pull Dujuan.

Du Juan didn't move. She looked at Shen Wantang. After Shen Wantang nodded, she followed Jixiang.

Shen Wantang looked at Gu Qianhan and asked again: "Where can we listen to it?"

Gu Qianhan pointed to the roof.

Shen Wantang's eyes widened. He really knew how to pick a place. How could she go up there?

"excuse me."

Gu Qianhan said something in a low voice, then put his arms around her waist, picked her up and flew onto the roof.

Fortunately, Shen Wantang was calm and had seen many storms, otherwise she would have screamed out loud. Even so, she was frightened.

She looked at Gu Qianhan with a hint of annoyance, and Gu Qianhan immediately let go of her hand and mouthed, "I have no choice."

Shen Wantang didn't see at all that he was forced to do so, he was very calm!

She really wanted to keep some distance from him, but now they were not on the ground but on a high roof. She was afraid that she would fall if she moved around. Even if she didn't fall, it would be very bad if she stepped on some loose bricks and tiles and alarmed the people in the house.

She stood there stiffly, not moving.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and her mind became much clearer. Then she realized that Gu Qianhan had really chosen a perfect place to eavesdrop.

The roof of this private courtyard is much higher than the roofs of other rooms. Standing here, you can not only hear the conversations in the house, but also look around to see if anyone is approaching.

If anything goes wrong, you can immediately jump off the roof and leave through the path behind the house.

Shen Wantang couldn't help but look at Gu Qianhan, suspecting that this was not his first time to eavesdrop on the roof, otherwise he wouldn't have found such a good place.

Gu Qianhan stretched out his arms towards her, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "Hold on, don't fall."

Shen Wantang was not willing to help him. She was there to eavesdrop. If she held his arm, it would seem like she was here to have an affair.

She turned her head away, pretending not to hear what he said, and not to see the arm he extended to her.

Seeing that she refused to help him, Gu Qianhan did not feel embarrassed. He calmly withdrew his arm and quietly moved a little closer to her, so that even if she did not stand firmly, he could catch her instantly.

The prince and his men could be heard talking in low voices in the room:

"How long has Gu Qianning been here?"

"Your Highness, Miss Gu should have just arrived not long ago. She has not yet entered the front hall to burn incense."

"Go and tamper with the fortune stick in the prayer hall, and make sure she gets the worst fortune."

"Yes."

"Go tell Master Mingwu, who is in charge of interpreting the divination, to interpret it for Gu Qianning in the direction of marriage. The worse the marriage, the better."

"Yes. Your Highness, Miss Gu is already coming this way. Do you want to stop her?"

"No need, she has already seen me, avoiding her will only make her suspicious."

"Yes, I understand."

Shen Wantang's expression turned cold. Since the prince didn't want to be married to Gu Qianning, why was he so nice to her? Why didn't he just tell her clearly?

Last time at Jinxiu Pavilion, he responded to Gu Qianning's every request and was so gentle and considerate that no one could tell that he didn't like Gu Qianning.

When Gu Qianhan saw her expression change, he knew that she was probably speaking up for her sister.

There was no change in his own expression. After all, he had lived a second life and knew what happened to his sister. He also knew that the prince had to marry his sister out of necessity. It was too common for the prince to ask someone to tamper with the lottery box.

Gu Qianhan looked at Shen Wantang's stern face and couldn't help but start thinking about the question that had troubled him for a long time - was she reborn?

If she were reborn, she wouldn't have such a big reaction after hearing the prince's words.

But that's not necessarily the case. Even if she was reborn, she had little contact with the prince and didn't know his temperament. It was normal for her to be shocked when she suddenly heard that the prince was so inhuman.

Two figures, one green and one blue, appeared not far away. They were Gu Qianning and her maid.

She really came here to find the prince.

Shen Wantang watched her walk quickly into the courtyard, then shouted in surprise: "Cousin, you are really here, I thought I was seeing things!"

The prince's voice was as gentle as ever: "A Ning, why are you here too? Things are not peaceful outside these days. Didn't I tell you to stay out less?"

"My cousin has sent people to suppress the refugees and appease them. Now the situation is very peaceful. I came here with Princess Xiao to burn incense and pray for blessings."

"Prince Xiao's Consort? Is she here too?"

"No, I came here alone."

Gu Qianning hadn't seen Xiao Qingxuan for several days. When she saw him now, she was reluctant to leave, but she also felt that it was inappropriate to abandon Shen Wantang.

She could only say with some reluctance: "Cousin, you are here for something important, right? I won't bother you anymore. I have to go find Atang. It's not good to keep her waiting for too long."

"Go ahead, and be careful. There are some refugees being resettled in the temple, so don't leave your maid."

Gu Qianning chuckled: "I know, I'm not a child anymore."

Shen Wantang felt quite uncomfortable listening to the conversation inside.

All Gu Qianning wanted was to marry the prince. She hurriedly chased after him after just one look at his back, which showed that she really liked the prince.

But the prince was only thinking about how to prevent her from getting married, and all he did were things to harm her.

Gu Qianhan's low voice rang in my ears: "It's time to go. An Ning is about to come out."

"Ah."

Gu Qianhan picked her up, jumped off the roof, landed steadily, and then let go of her hand: "This way, we can go out by this way."

Shen Wantang tried her best to ignore the force and heat around her waist, and followed Gu Qianhan quickly into the path, left the backyard, and went around to the front hall.
