Chapter 15 Four Gifts That Surprised the Remnant King

Finding Xuancang stunned, Qin Shuhuang coughed, "What? You don't want to?"

Xuan Cang came back to his senses and said in a panic: "I am not unwilling..."

Qin Shuhuang pointed to the exquisite gift box placed on the small table next to him.

Xuan Cang hesitated for a moment, walked over to pick up the gift box, and took the two soldiers to give the gift with a stiff expression.

Entering the Zhenbei Prince's Mansion, the two soldiers behind him couldn't help laughing immediately.

"My lord, let's see what gift Her Royal Highness has prepared for you."

The Can King turned back and glared coldly at the two soldiers behind him. They were the close aides of the Can King. Their names were Xie Zhuo and Xie Cheng. They grew up with the Can King and were very familiar with his master's character. After being stared at , not afraid at all, still laughing and joking.

The Zhenbei Palace is very low-key. There are not many servants in the palace. Those who sweep and patrol are all old servants and veterans. There is not a single young maid in the entire palace. There are only older maids and ladies in charge, mostly Relatives of old servants and veterans.

The crippled king quickly entered the study. As soon as he stepped into the study, he stopped and told the two attendants behind him, "You guys stay at the door. You are not allowed to come in without my permission."

Xie Zhuo and Xie Cheng quickly responded respectfully and stood guard at the door of the study.

Can Wang gently placed the gift box in his hand on the table, as if he was afraid of damaging the contents inside. He used the lightest movement to unlatch the slide buckle on the gift box. When he was about to open the gift box, for some reason, he felt a little nervous at this moment. Nervous, after all, this was the first gift Qin Shuhuang gave him.

The lid of the gift box was slowly opened, and the contents of the gift box came into view immediately.

There are four things in the gift box, tea, snacks, incense, and candied fruits.

In fact, it was a common gift to meet neighbors, but Can Wang couldn't help shrinking his pupils, and the darkness in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

He picked up the tea and sniffed it, it was his favorite cloud tea.

Dessert is his favorite walnut cake.

He likes sweet food, no matter what candied fruit, he likes it.

And that small and delicate piece of fragrant cake has a light and cool aroma, which is the same as the incense that Qin Shuhuang most commonly uses...

These things were like giant sticks, immediately stirring his heart into chaos.

Could Shuhuang be interested in him?

In an instant, King Can felt that it was impossible. This gift was given by Qin Shuhuang to Zhenbei Palace, not to Xuan Cang.

Did Shuhuang know his identity?
This is even more impossible, he has been hidden by her side for three years, if she knew it earlier, how could he not see it at all?

Are these meeting ceremony really just a coincidence?
Can Wang's original excited expression suddenly condensed at this moment, and he didn't know when he clenched his fists unwillingly.

Only when he felt the pain in his palms did King Can realize it and unclenched his fists.

He called the old housekeeper and asked the old housekeeper to personally prepare a return gift for Qin Shuhuang. When he heard the list of gifts from the master, the well-informed old housekeeper of the palace was surprised.

After the old housekeeper left, Prince Can carefully packed the candied fruits and snacks in his wallet, and placed the tea and incense in the place he used most before leaving Zhenbei Palace.

Not long after Qin Shuhuang left the Gu Mansion, Gu Hongchao and Mrs. Gu got the news.

Gu Hongchao sneered, not caring about Qin Shuhuang leaving the Gu Mansion.

This woman was deliberately making trouble unreasonably. In the past three years, Qin Shuhuang had never used any means to get his attention, and she had used the method of leaving the Gu family for a short stay more than once.

As long as he doesn't coax him, Qin Shuhuang will know that this method is useless in a few days and will soon return to the house obediently.

This time she beat him cruelly, let alone think that he would give in. Qin Shuhuang brought this upon himself!

Bai Lingge, who was sitting next to her, glanced at Gu Hongchao, but she didn't know what to do. She always felt that Qin Shuhuang this time seemed to be different from before.

She stroked her slightly protruding belly, looked at Gu Hongchao, "Hongchao, if you can't give this child a normal identity, I'd rather not have him."

How could Gu Hongchao hear Bai Lingge say such words? Regardless of his injuries, he took Bai Lingge into his arms and immediately swore, "Lingge, don't worry, I will always only like you, your child." She is my only bloodline, and will only be the only heir to the Gu family! You know, I have never liked Qin Shuhuang!"

Bai Lingge's face was full of tears, and he nodded again and again, "Really?"

"Ling Ge, how could I be willing to lie to you."

"Hong Chao, then you have to protect me and our children."

Gu Hongchao gently patted Bai Lingge to coax her.

Mrs. Gu's yard is not so "warm".

Mrs. Gu sat at the top, her face darkened, "You said the princess left the mansion? Where did she go?"

The mother-in-law who returned was sweating on her forehead, and said respectfully: "Return to madam, Her Royal Highness took the people around her to the eldest princess's mansion, saying that she has already lived in the eldest princess's mansion."

"I see, back off."

Mrs. Gu waved her hand, and the cronies beside her immediately drove out all the maids and women who were serving in the room.

Only Gu Yuling, who was standing behind Mrs. Gu, and Gu Yufei, who was sitting at the table playing with jewelry, were left in the room.

Gu Yufei loved this set of jewels inlaid with rubies and emerald emeralds in her hands. It was just brought out of the warehouse a few days ago, and it was one of Qin Shuhuang's dowry.

She heard what the mother-in-law just said, and now she pursed her lips and said disdainfully: "Mom, you don't have to worry about it. This is not the first time Qin Shuhuang has played this trick. I just want my brother to apologize to her quickly, and then Welcoming her back to the house. When she stays for a few days and no one in the Gu house pays attention to her, she will come back in despair. Then she will definitely come to your mother to apologize. A few sets of jewelry are indispensable. of."

Mrs. Gu did not relax because of her daughter's words.

She faintly felt that Qin Shuhuang was different from leaving Gu's house several times before. Before, Qin Shuhuang left Gu's house to stay in Huangzhuang or Gu's Zhuangzi at most. This time she didn't go to Zhuangzi but went back to herself The eldest princess's mansion, and all the maids and guards in the yard were taken away, leaving none behind.

When it comes to Qin Shuhuang's actions in the past two days, Mrs. Gu feels even more disturbed.

She suddenly stood up, walked to her daughter, and took away the jewelry Gu Yufei was playing with, "Yufei, yesterday you made the princess unhappy. Tomorrow you will go to the eldest princess's mansion with a gift to apologize to the princess. Princess Tantan Mouth."

Gu Yufei looked at Mrs. Gu in disbelief and said in shock: "Mom, are you crazy? You really want me to apologize to that bitch Qin Shuhuang? I won't go!"

Mrs. Gu hates iron, but she understands her daughter's temper very well. She slowed down and said, "It's not that I want you to take the blame, but I just want you to find out what the princess has said. This is for your brother and for our Gu family. Alright, if you promise mother, mother will give you this set of jewelry right now."

Gu Yufei glanced at the dazzling ruby ​​and emerald jewelry on the table, and after a moment reluctantly agreed to Mrs. Gu, "Okay."

After speaking, he left happily holding the jewelry box.

Mrs. Gu was a little tired and in no mood to find trouble, so she waved Gu Yuling to leave.

Gu Yuling saluted and left. As soon as he reached the door of Mrs. Gu's yard, he was stopped by Gu Yufei.
