Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

After hearing this, Huayi asked timidly, "Why did Master Gu want to help me do this? Master, is there anything difficult that you need me to do?"

"There is something you need to do, but it's not difficult for you."

Gu Qianhan turned his head and looked outside: "Xiao Qingyuan should be here soon. When he comes to take you away, you must refuse him. The reason for your refusal is that you hate him. When you were with him before, all your happiness was fake."

"Besides, you have to tell him that I have always been the one you love. You had already discussed with me about going home to attend the funeral this time, and you deliberately lied to Xiao Qingyuan."

"Anyway, do whatever you want to disgust him."

Hua Yi was somewhat surprised: "Second Young Master wants me to be a bad guy and break the prince's heart?"

"What, is there a problem?"

"It's not a good idea to do this. It's a bit immoral!"

"You can't have everything. I'm providing you with a brand new identity, turning you from a slave into a young lady. This kind of good thing is hard to find even with a lantern. Not everyone has this opportunity. Could it be that you want both a new identity and morality, so that you can pretend to be a good person in front of Xiao Qingyuan?"

Huayi's eyes turned red. "Second Young Master, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that. Our prince treats me very well. I can't do anything to let him down, and I can't lie to him and disgust him with you. Betraying the master is a taboo. I dare not, and I don't want to."

Gu Qianhan frowned slightly, thinking that she was not in a clear mind: "His kindness to you is only temporary. Haven't you seen how he treats Chu Yanluo now? In the future, your fate will be the same as Chu Yanluo's."

"Will not."

Huayi said confidently: "I am different from Aunt Chu. I serve the prince wholeheartedly and have never had any second thoughts. Aunt Chu is fickle, which is why the prince dislikes her."

"The prince is kind-hearted and a pure person. If you treat him well, he will treat you well."

"Second Master, I know that you and the Crown Prince have some misunderstandings and small grudges, but in fact, the Crown Prince was deceived by Aunt Chu, which inadvertently caused you to lose a good marriage. Please forgive our Crown Prince, he didn't mean it."

"You should stop opposing our prince. It won't do you any good, will it? I think the second young master should continue to be friends and brothers with our prince, so that they can support each other in the future."

Gu Qianhan heard Hua Yi actually start to instruct him, and said coldly: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Huayi immediately knelt down: "I dare not!"

Gu Qianhan looked down at her, and felt more and more disgusted with Xiao Qingyuan.

Slaves are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and dare to tell their masters what to do. Needless to say, this is the result of Xiao Qingyuan's indulgence.

Moreover, this maid kept calling Xiao Qingyuan "our prince", as if she treated Xiao Qingyuan as her own. There was a sense of claiming sovereignty in her tone that she herself did not even notice.

Gu Qianhan didn't know if she behaved like this in front of Shen Wantang. If so, then she was disgusting enough. If not, then this maid had two faces and was very scheming.

No matter which one it is, Gu Qianhan has no intention of letting Huayi go back.

"Someone, take her down and put her in the bathtub. I'll let her out when I say so."

Two guards came in quickly and walked out with Huayi.

Huayi begged for mercy pitifully, crying, "Second Master, please let me go. I have no grudge against you. Why are you bullying me like this? This is ungentlemanly of you!"

Unfortunately, Gu Qianhan didn't buy it at all. He was like a deaf person and didn't react at all.

After Huayi was taken away, he ordered Jixiang: "Send someone to the Ning Wang Mansion to check the situation. Xiao Qingyuan should have returned to the mansion a long time ago. Why hasn't he come to snatch people yet?"

Jixiang responded and went out to look for Fuze.

Not long after, Jixiang came back with Fukuzawa.

Fuze said respectfully: "Second Master, I have already inquired about it. Prince Xiao has been confined by King Ning."

Gu Qianhan raised an eyebrow: "Confinement? He's an adult and married, why is he still being disciplined like a child? His legs are on his body, can't he run?"

"Sir, Prince Xiao's strength is limited. He cannot defeat the guards of Prince Ning. I'm afraid he won't be able to escape for a while."

"This idiot is such a waste of my time!"

Gu Qianhan knew that Xiao Qingyuan was useless, but she didn't expect him to be so useless that he could be grounded!

"Since Xiao Qingyuan is not strong enough, I will give him a little stimulation. I hope that anger can make up for his strength."

Gu Qianhan tapped the golden nanmu tabletop with his slender fingers and said calmly, "Jixiang, go to Prince Ning's mansion and give Xiao Qingyuan a big gift."

"Yes, son!"

-

Prince Ning's Mansion.

Xiao Qingyuan was still circling in the yard: "No, I still can't get out! Mo Ji, go and break the wall for me!"

"Sir, the wall in your yard is the strongest. It's made of large pieces of bluestone. It can't be broken at all!"

"Then let's dig a hole under the wall and get out!"

"Sir, the foundation is made of black rock which is stronger than blue rock. It is impossible to dig it out!"

Xiao Qingyuan: "..."

So his yard turned out to be an upside-down turtle shell?

He couldn't help but look up at the sky.

A sparrow flew over his head, free and unrestrained.

"Mo Ji, go make me a pair of wings. I want to fly away!"

Mo Ji: “…”

"Master, I don't have that much ability. I'm afraid you can't get out today."

Xiao Qingyuan was angry: "You are useless, what use do I have for you? You are useless in this and that. I have never seen a servant more useless than you! The Jixiang beside Gu Qianhan is smarter than you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud voice rang out from outside the door: "Prince Xiao, I, Jixiang, greet you!"

Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "Jixiang? You dare to come?!"

Mo Ji also looked incredulous: "Jixiang, who let you in?"

Jixiang did not answer the master and servant's question at all. His voice was full of joy: "Please open the door, Your Highness. The New Year is coming soon. Our second son has come to give you a gift!"

Xiao Qingyuan was furious: "Gu Qianhan can still give me a gift? Unless he gives me his head, anything else is not a gift!"

Jixiang said cheerfully: "It's not a human head, Prince, our young master is still fine."

Xiao Qingyuan gnashed his teeth and said, "Mo Ji, open the door! I'm going to beat him to death!"

Mo Ji hurried forward to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, Jixiang handed a wooden box to Mo Ji, then turned and ran away.

Xiao Qingyuan didn't expect him to run so fast. Just when he was about to ask Mo Ji to chase him, he saw a piece of bloody material sticking out of the wooden box.

He suddenly opened the wooden box, and after seeing what was inside, all the color on his face disappeared: "Painting!"
