Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 109

Zhou Yuchen's guard knocked on the door. Zhou Yuchen asked him what was going on. The guard reported in a low voice: "Your Highness, Prince Qi, someone has come from the palace. Please come in with Miss Gu."

Gu Nianchu was stunned: "Should I go too?"

Zhou Yuchen held her hand and comforted her softly, "Nianchu, don't be afraid. I think the palace knows that I have been close to you recently, and they want to ask you what you think."

Gu Nianchu sighed, "It's normal for the Emperor and Concubine Rong to dislike me. I'm a married woman now. If word gets out that the dignified Prince Qi has touched the wife of a minister, it would be a real shame for the royal family."

"Nian Chu, don't be afraid. I will explain everything to my father and mother. This is my fault and has nothing to do with you."

Zhou Yuchen didn't show any sign of fear. On the contrary, he seemed eager to try. His love was finally going to be revealed, so how could he not be happy?

Who knows, if his father and mother are happy, they might just let Nian Chu and Shen Ling divorce, and he would be even happier then.

If that's the case, Nian Chu can't blame him, right?

Gu Nianchu insisted on not riding in the same carriage with Zhou Yuchen. She took Nanny Tian and took the carriage from the General's Mansion to the palace.

At the gate of the palace, Eunuch Desheng was already waiting.

"Miss Gu, you are here. The Emperor and Concubine Rong are afraid that you might be tired, so they asked me to bring a sedan chair to pick you up. Please get on."

The palace has strict rules. If the emperor had not bestowed a sedan chair, Gu Nianchu would have to walk through the entire palace for more than half an hour to see the emperor.

Now she just had to sit in the sedan chair and wait for someone to carry her to see the emperor.

The sedan chair was carried directly to the harem.

In Rong Fei's palace, Rong Fei heard that Gu Nianchu had arrived, so she asked someone to summon her to an audience.

Gu Nianchu entered Concubine Rong's palace. She behaved properly and bowed to Concubine Rong without any mistakes: "Gu greets Concubine Rong."

Rong Fei reached out her hand and gave him a light support: "Gu, no need to be polite, please take a seat."

When Gu saw Concubine Rong again, she was still as bright and charming. If she had not known Prince Qi Zhou Yuchen, she would have never imagined that she was already a woman with a son in his twenties.

Her skin is whiter than snow, her eyes and eyebrows are as picturesque as paintings, and her every move reveals her elegance.

"Gu, do you know why I called you today?"

Gu Nianchu stood up and was about to kneel down, but Concubine Rong asked the nanny beside her to hold her back: "Gu, please sit down and answer."

"Yes, thank you, Concubine Rong. Gu knows that the reason why you summoned me here today is because I have seen His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi several times in recent days and ruined his reputation."

Gu Nianchu's answer made Concubine Rong burst out laughing: "Gu, do you really think so? Why don't you say that it was His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi who ruined your reputation? I know the character of my son who is so reckless. This matter is not your fault."

"I invited you here today just to ask you, are you and Master Shen planning to divorce or..."

Concubine Rong did not finish her words and left the topic here.

Gu Nianchu did not dare to hide it from Concubine Rong: "In reply to your majesty, the marriage between me and Shen Ling was granted by the emperor. If I want to divorce him, I have to get the emperor's approval. My father will be able to return to the capital in a month. By then, I will ask my father to report to the emperor and beg him to agree to my divorce." Gu Nianchu gave Concubine Rong an affirmative answer. Concubine Rong smiled: "Nianchu, I have watched you grow up since you were a child. You and His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi are a perfect match, but fate has played tricks on us and we cannot be together. Now it's even more..."

Gu Nianchu was not a fool. After hearing what Concubine Rong said, there was nothing she did not understand.

"Your Majesty, even if I divorce Prince Shen, my reputation will be damaged. It is absolutely impossible for me to marry into the royal family. Please understand."

Gu Nianchu said firmly, and Concubine Rong showed embarrassment on her face: "Hey, I don't have to be the vicious person who breaks up the couple, but I can't help it. Nianchu, you can understand my embarrassment, right?"

Gu Nianchu gave Concubine Rong a positive answer, and Concubine Rong told Gu Nianchu that Zhou Yuchen had been called by the Emperor to speak, and asked her to wait for Zhou Yuchen to come to the palace.

Gu Nianchu also understood that Concubine Rong wanted to hear from her own words that Zhou Yuchen should give up, and she was a little unhappy about it.

"Your Majesty, I am not familiar with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, so I will not wait for His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. I will take my leave now."

Gu Nianchu said goodbye immediately. Concubine Rong looked embarrassed: "Nianchu, are you angry?"

"People's women don't dare."

Gu Nianchu's voice was a little cold. She bowed and took her leave. Concubine Rong had no choice but to let her go.

Although the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is not impressive enough, General Gu is about to return to the capital, and she dare not openly confront the General's Mansion.

When Zhou Yuchen arrived at Concubine Rong's palace, he was a little surprised: "Mother, where is Nianchu?"

Concubine Rong said coldly, "My son, that is the wife of the prince of Zhenbei Marquis's mansion. You call her so affectionately. Have you ever thought about your reputation?"

Zhou Yuchen's face also turned cold: "Mother, what do you mean by this? What kind of reputation do you think my child can have? What kind of good reputation can a person who is called the living devil want? At the beginning, the emperor didn't want my child to marry Nianchu, and you watched the emperor grant Nianchu the marriage, and you had someone secretly frame me. Now what reputation are you talking about?"

Concubine Rong's expression was very ugly: "My son, your mother is doing this for your own good! If you had insisted on marrying the daughter of the Gu family, your father would have been afraid of you. Do you think you would still be alive?"

Zhou Yuchen suddenly opened his collar, revealing his back full of ravines.

"Chen'er, what are you doing..."

Concubine Rong was frightened by Zhou Yuchen's actions and her face turned pale. Zhou Yuchen smiled faintly: "Mother, take a good look at the scars on my body, big and small, and count how many times I have escaped death. If I hadn't thought about coming back to see you alive, I'm afraid I would have died on the battlefield long ago."

"I was able to come back because of my firm belief. What reputation are you talking about now? If I can't be with Nian Chu, I would even give up my life. What do I need that damn reputation for?"

Concubine Rong was so angry at Zhou Yuchen's words that she coughed repeatedly. Eunuch Desheng hurried forward to dissuade Zhou Yuchen: "Your Highness, the Concubine is not in good health, you..."

Zhou Yuchen nodded: "Mother, I have given you everything you want. I hope you can abide by the agreement and let me get what I want."

"Father, I have already expressed my feelings to you. I have something else to do, so I will take my leave now."

Zhou Yuchen was anxious to explain to Gu Nianchu. He didn't even need to ask Concubine Rong, because he knew how Concubine Rong would force his beloved girl.
