At the time of Xushi, the key was released at the palace gate, and Gu Sheng was escorted back to the mansion by the inner guards.

Knowing from Kunning Palace that the moment His Highness the Ninth Prince was stripped of his princely title and put under house arrest in Zhongcui Palace, Gu Sheng seemed to lose all consciousness in an instant.

She was sitting on the carriage in the palace, listening to the sound of the rumbling wheels, passing through alleys, big and small, with a blank expression.

A few white gauze lanterns were vaguely lit on both sides of the road, the carriage was speeding, and the hazy orange-yellow halo kept passing by the corners of the eyes, and the dark night ahead seemed endless.

I don't know how to get back to the mansion, and there is only a fragmented scene in my mind.

After recovering, it was already dawn, and she stayed on the bed in the bedroom for a whole night.

He turned his head to the side, only to find that a room full of maidservants were gathered around the bed, with worried and terrified eyes.

Seeing that Gu Sheng finally moved, Shi Liu quickly opened her eyes and walked forward, stretched out five fingers in front of her eyes, and asked softly, "Third sister?"

Gu Sheng blinked slowly, and a group of servants called her in unison with sad faces: "Mistress, master!"

The smell of decay and despair filled the room, and the dimness seemed to be dying out.

Gu Sheng opened his mouth, but his voice didn't come out.

Shiliu hurriedly served a bowl of tea and fed her a few mouthfuls, only then did she hear Gu Sheng hoarsely ask: "Has Your Highness returned?"

After a moment of dead silence in the room, the maids couldn't hide their grief anymore, sobbing one after another, and they were stopped by Pomegranate eagerly.

His thoughts gradually returned, and Gu Sheng immediately got up to stay on the bed.

Shiliu hurriedly stepped forward to help her: "What do you want, sister? This servant will get it for you."

Gu Sheng straightened his already neat bun with no expression on his face, and said seriously: "I want to go to the palace to see the empress."

Shiliu hurriedly grabbed her arm, and dissuaded her: "Sister, you should take a rest first, the house is surrounded by a group of officers and soldiers, we can't go out for the time being. But don't worry, the Second Highness personally escorted you back last night, she Tell us and we'll get you out of trouble soon."

"Second Highness?" Gu Sheng's eyes tightened suddenly, he got up and squatted beside the bed, reaching out to touch the wooden box under the bed.

All the maidservants were panic-stricken. Shiliu knelt next to the concubine and said in a trembling voice, "Sister... Not long after you left last night, a group of guards broke into the palace with a search warrant. The servants couldn't stop them, let them He broke into the bedroom, took the box away, and asked the master to punish him."

Gu Sheng froze, slowly lowered his hand, and stood up silently.

Everything happened so suddenly, she had been on guard for so long, not only did she not avoid this disaster, but it was several months earlier than in her previous life.

Gu Sheng tried his best to calm down, connecting all the memories together in his mind over and over again——

It took less than an hour from when she got the bracelet to when the incident happened.

Every step seemed to be carefully planned. She, Concubine Xi, and even the emperor and queen all jumped into the trap.

Who is in the way?

Jiang Han's forbearance appeared in Gu Sheng's mind, and when he recalled it now, he suddenly felt a bone-chilling chill.

But for a few days, she was trapped in the palace, and Jiang Han came to visit her.

Seeing Gu Sheng stepping in the door with a haggard face, Jiang Han greeted him with the same gentle expression as before, looked at Gu Sheng with a slight smile, and said, "I made you suffer, don't worry, everything is over."

Gu Sheng looked coldly at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, and squeezed out a few words between his teeth for a long time: "Your Highness will not let you go."

Jiang Han was not annoyed when he heard the words, he still had a smile on his lips, and raised his head to signal the maidservant to go out.

There were only two people standing opposite each other in the hall, Jiang Han said lightly: "What you should consider is whether I will let Ah Jiu go."

Gu Sheng's pupils shrank suddenly, and his anger was suddenly suppressed by fear.

She didn't know what crime Jiang Chenyue was charged with, and whether she was really at the mercy of others.

For a moment, without the courage to tear her face apart, Gu Sheng asked with a trembling voice: "How could you treat her like this, that is the Nine Emperor Sister who you single-handedly supported to grow up..."

Jiang Han heard the words, the smile on the corner of his mouth suddenly dropped, he was silent for a while, and replied in a cold voice: "You really only have her left in your heart? How can I treat her? Why don't you ask Ah Jiu why he treats me like this? I do my best. Do your best to raise her into a human being, and the reward you get is to be deprived of her status, dignity and lover!"

Seeing Gu Sheng's expression tense, Jiang Han took a deep breath, suppressed the resentment in his heart, took a step closer, raised his hand to gently brush her temple hair, and whispered: "I can take back the position myself, if the lover can change his mind , I can let her go and get rid of my little sister."

The moment Gu Sheng was touched by that hand, her whole body immediately aroused a strong sense of resistance, and she raised her hand and opened Jiang Han's palm, blurting out: "Stop dreaming! Do you know what you are doing? "

Jiang Han replied firmly: "Of course I know, I'm telling you: who is the real strong man."

Gu Sheng clenched his fists and wanted to say, "Once Jiang Chenyue's feelings for you are completely wiped out, and they turn against each other, no one can save you."

But he was also afraid that Jiang Han would be determined to make trouble because of this, so he could only suppress his provocative words, and replied in a hoarse voice: "I don't see the strong and the weak, only justice and villainy!"

Jiang Han sneered: "Evil? This kind of means is considered evil? Daxia's law can't help the super-grade emperor, I just want to teach that little brat a lesson, lest she even teach her own skills Yes, I forgot."

Gu Sheng frowned and said: "You just used me to hide the perjury in the mansion, even if you did it flawlessly and couldn't be verified, I can take the initiative to confess and take all the blame for Jiang Chenyue!"

"Don't mess around, A Sheng." Jiang Han looked down at her: "Ah Jiu is blessed by the ancestors, no matter how serious the crime is, she will be released after a few years of house arrest, but you, you don't have that luck, you and Like me, we are all 'mortals', if you are not careful, you will be charged with beheading."

Seeing Gu Sheng's look of resentment, Jiang Han raised his eyebrows and continued: "Ah Jiu didn't even dare to openly investigate the case in order to keep you. Don't let Ah Jiubai suffer this."

To Gu Sheng, that light sentence "the board was hit too" was tantamount to a thunderstorm in the clear sky, and the blood all over his body froze in an instant!

She pulled up Jiang Han's front, her eyes almost popped out of her sockets, and she growled like she was going to eat someone: "Your Highness is being tortured?!"

Jiang Han raised his hand to hold the cold right hand that was pinching his front, gently tore it off, and replied: "Don't worry, it's just a little flesh injury, and the father will regret it halfway through the beating. I bought two Tong Shi, huh, I just don’t know if Ah Jiu is willing to use it.”

Gu Sheng spun around in front of his eyes, and staggered, but was stabilized by Jiang Han.

She struggled to shake off Jiang Han's shackles, and staggered back a few steps, her eyes seemed to be facing the devil.

Seeing her agitated, Jiang Han hastily explained: "It's not my fault, Ah Jiu asked for the punishment herself, and the debt is not too heavy. She is afraid that something will happen to Concubine Xi, and the eighth younger sister will not be able to bear it, so she will do it by herself." Take all the charges that can be charged, otherwise the emperor will not be willing to beat her."

Gu Sheng closed his eyes slowly, with tears rolling down his cheeks, he suppressed his sobs and asked in a trembling voice: "How is your Highness doing now..."

Seeing that her emotions had completely collapsed, Jiang Han raised his hand to stabilize her shoulders, and said seriously: "I don't want you to be so sad, as long as you are willing to wash off the mark and leave Ah Jiu according to my plan, I promise to rescue her. , I won’t cause you any more pain in the future.”

Gu Sheng clenched his fists so hard that his nails almost tore through his palms, before he suppressed the sentence "Don't dream".

After a long time, she lowered her eyes and said hoarsely, "I'll think about it."

She knew in her heart that there was no need for Jiang Han to help. When there was a war in the south of the Yangtze River, Jiang Chenyue would immediately lead the army to commit crimes and meritorious deeds.

During this period, all she can do is to stabilize Jiang Han and prevent the situation from getting worse.

If she insisted on resisting with all her strength, Jiang Han's hatred for Jiang Chenyue would definitely be aggravated, and the consequences would be disastrous.

Thinking of this, Gu Sheng immediately suppressed all hatred, and his expression slowly showed a slight surrender.

Seeing her compromise, Jiang Han immediately recovered his ecstatic and affectionate expression, and stretched out his hand to embrace her in his arms.

Gu Sheng tensed his body without struggling, and obediently leaned on Jiang Han's shoulder, trying to hide his anger.

After talking about some old memories, Gu Sheng pretended to be the same and asked: "Will I be trapped in the palace forever?"

As long as she can come and go freely, she can cooperate with the eighth princess inside and out, and try her best to get the chance to meet Jiang Chenyue.

Jiang Han looked down at her, hesitated for a moment, and then said generously: "No, I will get my father to evacuate the guards as soon as possible, but I can't visit you often for the time being, you have to take care of yourself."

Gu Sheng was worried that she would find out that he had ulterior motives, so he deliberately pretended to be ashamed, and whispered: "You don't dislike me?"

Jiang Han raised the corners of his mouth, embraced her again, and murmured, "What do you think? After a while, we can meet up outside the city, and I'll take you out to relax, okay?"

Gu Sheng nodded silently.
