The four of them walked towards the main hall of the East Palace.Xie Yunhong glanced at the indifferent Gu Mingheng and Lu Chengning, feeling puzzled in his heart.After being in the East Palace for so many years, even Mu Hanjiang felt that the emperor and empress did not love and value the crown prince so much. At least in a year, the number of times the queen visited the East Palace was very infrequent.

Then this time, why did Queen Fengyi come here suddenly?

Stepping into the main hall, Gu Mingheng saw Xu Qiwu who was wearing a phoenix robe on the main seat at a glance. His gaze swept under the main seat, his eyes froze, and then he lowered his head to cover his expression.

Why did Xiao Zhiwei and Gu Wanling appear here?

He also gradually understood that the emperor wanted to break his connection with the Gu family, so he never took the initiative to contact the Gu family, and his father was very cautious and never entered the palace.

After giving the seat, the queen pointed to Gu Mingheng and said to Xiao Zhiwei, "Your mother and son have not seen each other for many years, and even Wanling has grown so big in a blink of an eye."

With emotion in his tone, he waved at Gu Wanling again, "Come here, Wanling, I'll take a look, it's true that Furong is not as good as the beauty's smile, I'm already old!"

Gu Wanling lowered her head shyly when she heard the words, and moved her lotus steps lightly in front of the empress, her face was blush like pear blossoms on a branch, "Your Majesty, don't say that, I heard that your empress has a beautiful temperament, and now that you see your empress, you will know what elegance is." Peerless." Her voice was full of the timidity of a young girl, but also the dignity of the first daughter of an aristocratic family, and it was very pleasant to listen to.

"This is really talking!" Xu Qiwu said to Xiao Zhiwei who was next with a smile on his face, his heart was full of smiles, and he held Gu Wanling's hand, and asked in a gentle voice, "How old is this year?" She wore an agate ring on her slender finger, which was very moist.

"I'm 14 years old." Gu Wanling said softly, her voice was like a warbler's cry, her blushing cheeks were very beautiful.

"Fourteen? The same age as our prince!" He said with a little surprise on his face, and said, "Have you decided on someone?"

"Ji Yan always thinks that his daughter is precious, and he doesn't want to marry to another family early, and wants to stay for a few more years." Xiao Zhiwei replied with a smile. She was dressed in obedience and looked more luxurious than usual, but the fine lines around her eyes were not. Even makeup couldn't hide it, so it can be seen that her life in the Prime Minister's Mansion these years was not as comfortable as outsiders saw.

"Mother—" Gu Wanling said coquettishly, as if embarrassed.His gaze met Xie Yunhong's eyes inadvertently, his cheeks were instantly dyed red, and he hurriedly turned his eyes away.

Is that Xie Lang who is as famous as his elder brother?

"My daughter's family is shy!" Xiao Zhiwei covered her mouth with a silk scarf, and said affectionately, "The family is well-bred, Wanling doesn't go out very much, and her father dotes on her daughter and holds it in his palm, so this temper Ah, it's quite a bit coquettish."

"Our daughters of the Zanying family should be like this." Xu Qiwu smiled, with the arrogance inherent in his blood in his tone, and patted Gu Wanling's hand again, "When you are free, come to the palace to accompany me, see With such a flowery daughter, I feel much younger."

After speaking, he took a piece of suet white jade from the tray held by Aunt A Jing, "This jade has been collected by this palace for many years, and it is said that jade nourishes people, so let us hold this jade for Wanling." She stopped her as she spoke. The movement of saluting, "I won't talk about these vain rituals, I love you very much when I see you."

Xie Yunhong looked at Gu Mingheng who was sitting next to him, saw that his eyes were clear and showed no emotion on his face, he couldn't help sighing in his heart to concentrate, but felt uncomfortable in his heart.Seeing the empress so obviously choosing a woman for the prince, she couldn't express any emotion.

Thinking of his usual appearance when he played the qin and recited Fu in front of his eyes, he is really a gentleman who is insane and looks up to the world!

Ah Heng, living in the Eastern Palace like this, trapped in a small world, are you really willing?Is it really worth it?Xie Yunhong lowered his eyes slowly, suddenly feeling sad.

"Mingheng." Hearing the queen's call, Gu Mingheng stood up and said, "My son is here." He had a dignified appearance and a respectful expression.

"Since you entered the East Palace, it's really rare to go home once. This time, the queen mother is in charge. How about keeping Wanling in the East Palace?" Her eyes fell on Gu Mingheng, her tone was gentle and conversing, but her eyes were too sharp Yes, with irresistibility.

After a long silence, Gu Mingheng said slowly, "It's all up to the queen mother." His tone was the same as usual, and it was no different to others.But Lu Chengning, who had been staring at the ground in a daze from the beginning, suddenly raised his head, and a pair of dark eyes fell directly on Gu Mingheng's body, full of doubts.

"What are you looking at?" Seeing that Lu Chengning's reaction was so strange, Mu Hanjiang leaned over and asked in a low voice.

Lu Chengning ignored Mu Hanjiang, he focused on Gu Mingheng who was standing in the center of the hall, with only this person in his eyes.Then he slowly stood up and walked towards Gu Mingheng.

The queen on the main seat also noticed Lu Chengning's actions, and said with some displeasure, "Prince?" in a warning tone.

Lu Chengning completely ignored her words, walked to Gu Mingheng's side and took his hand, looking into his eyes probing, with a worried look on his face.

"Ah Heng?" he called out in a low voice.Seeing Gu Mingheng looking at him in the blink of an eye, there was a smile in his eyes.After seeing Gu Mingheng's expression clearly, he frowned for a moment, "Ah-Heng is sad." He confirmed with concern, and seeing that Gu Mingheng did not answer, he repeated, "Ah-Heng is sad." Why is Ah-Heng sad?

Mu Hanjiang watched from the side, and when he heard Lu Chengning ask the question a second time, he felt a layer of doubt in his heart.

"Prince." The queen said suddenly, she smiled warmly, but her tone was indifferent, "Ming Heng is not sad, his sister will live in the East Palace, he is naturally happy."

Lu Chengning's figure suddenly moved slowly, and he turned his head to look at the empress on the main seat, as if he was discerning the meaning of her words.

There was a moment of silence in the hall, the empress looked at Lu Chengning's dark and dull eyes, and felt an inexplicable chill in her heart, and unconsciously held Gu Wanling's hand with strength.

These eyes... these eyes... are exactly the same as the eyes of that person back then!

Gu Wanling frowned, wanted to cry out in pain, but held back her mouth.

"Wanling, the most important thing in entering the palace this time is to please the queen, you know?" Before entering the palace, Xiao Zhiwei said solemnly, "You need to maintain your demeanor, and occasionally show a little girl's coquettishness to Can."

"Mother, but I don't want to marry into the East Palace, marry that silly prince!" Gu Wanling flung herself into Xiao Zhiwei's arms coquettishly, and said in a charming voice.

"Wanling, what I hope you get is not just a position in the East Palace. When the crown prince ascends the throne in the future, you will be his only woman!" As he spoke, a smug smile appeared on his face, as if he had already seen that day come. , "At that time, it will be the time when you are in the world of Fengyi."

"Really? Can I really be a queen?" Gu Wanling looked at her mother with bright eyes, a little excited and timid, and also a little scared.

"Of course, my daughter is the most beautiful woman in the world, and she should sit in the most honorable position!" She stroked Gu Wanling's hair and slowly smiled.

Seeing Lu Chengning staring at her without speaking for a long time, and seeing Xiao Zhiwei's expression from the corner of her eye, the queen was also somewhat puzzled. She felt sullen for a moment, and said sharply, "Prince, do you still have a mother queen in your eyes?"

At this time, Lu Chengning suddenly moved. Before everyone could react, he rushed to the main seat, grabbed Gu Wanling's arm and pulled it out.

The queen staggered because of this force and almost fell, the golden phoenix out of the clouds on her hair was shaking with the sound of gold and stone colliding, and her hair was messy.

Ah Jing quickly stepped forward to support the queen, and saw Gu Wanling being dragged towards the door by the prince.

Gu Wanling only felt that her wrist was about to break, she looked into the prince's dark and lifeless eyes, finally couldn't restrain the fear and pain in her heart, screamed loudly, and struggled violently.But the strength on the wrist couldn't break free no matter what.

"Go! Go and stop the prince!" The queen said in a hurried voice, but the Luan Yiwei who was guarding the gate of the hall hesitated and did not dare to go forward.

"A'Ning." Hearing this voice, Lu Chengning stopped suddenly, he turned his back to the crowd and did not turn his head.Just when Xiao Zhiwei wanted to breathe a sigh of relief when he saw this scene, he saw the crown prince grabbing Gu Wanling's arm and suddenly pushing her to the ground.

His black hair was a little disheveled, and the gaze that he didn't know where it fell made people feel chills in his heart.

"Mother—he's going to kill me!—don't—mother save me!" Gu Wanling sat on the ground, stepping back little by little. She looked at Lu Chengning with terrified eyes, and tears flowed out, blurring The makeup powder was sticky and greasy on the skin, and it completely lost its usual clear and beautiful appearance.

"Shut up!" The queen sternly yelled, "When is the crown prince going to kill you?" Gu Wanling stopped her mouth for an instant, she bit her lip, tears kept streaming from the corners of her eyes.In her eyes, the prince at this time is like a devil crawling out of the region!

"Come on! Call the imperial physician! Then send someone to invite His Majesty over!" She ordered while looking nervously at Lu Chengning in the hall, fearing that he would make any further moves.

Gu Mingheng walked towards Lu Chengning, stopped three steps away from him, looked into his eyes and shouted, "A'Ning?"

Lu Chengning ignored it as if he didn't hear it. Suddenly, he raised his hands to cover his ears and screamed continuously, full of pain.

Xie Yunhong and Mu Hanjiang subconsciously stood up, looked at the prince who was screaming in shock, and completely forgot to react.

At this moment, before everyone had time to react, Lu Chengning, who kept screaming, suddenly slammed into the big gilt pillar in the hall!
