Alluring City

"Thank you for the compliment." So she guessed right? "At noon tomorrow, we will meet at the Three Princes' Mansion. As for the things we need on the way, I will trouble you to prepare them."

After Gu Xiaowu finished speaking, she got up and walked out. After walking a few steps, she stopped again, "By the way, remember to close the door when you leave."

Dugu Xun got impatient waiting outside, wanted to break in a few times, but when he touched the door, he retracted abruptly.

Jealousy is jealousy, but he still trusts Xiao Wu.If he lost his trust in Xiao Wu, it would be tantamount to losing Xiao Wu as well.

Therefore, he would rather lose his confidence in himself than lose his trust in Xiao Wu.

"What are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?" Gu Xiaowu slapped Duguxun's shoulder, and she smiled and said, "Let's go, didn't you say you want to take me somewhere? It's still early, if we hurry If you do more, you should be able to come back before dark!"

Dugu Xun came back to his senses after being slapped by Gu Xiaowu, he looked up into the room, and then said with a happy expression: "I'll take you to see my concubine mother."

The imperial mausoleum is near the imperial palace, and it takes about an hour by horse-drawn carriage to start from the Three Kings Mansion.

It seemed that Duguxun had already greeted the guards guarding the imperial mausoleum, so when they saw Duguxun and Gu Xiaowu coming, those guards let them in without even questioning them routinely.

Dugu Xun's mother and concubine were buried in a relatively remote mausoleum. All the concubines of Tianchen would be buried here after death. Only the empress could be buried in the same mausoleum with the emperor.

After entering the mausoleum, there are several rows of sarcophagi neatly arranged, but only a few sarcophagi are closed, while the rest of the sarcophagi are empty.

Dugu Xun led Gu Xiaowu to the first sarcophagus in the first row and stopped.

"It's my concubine mother who lives inside." Dugu Xun explained in a low voice.

Gu Xiaowu looked at the name on the tablet in front of the sarcophagus, but there was only the words Concubine Yun of the Dugu clan, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart how pitiful the concubine was.

Everyone is dead, but after death, his name is not even on his tablet, and only one Dugu family erased his name.

If she marries Dugu Xun in the future, she must not be buried in the imperial tomb after death!

Duguxun lit the candle and explained: "Since the founding of Tianchen, all concubines will be buried here, but every emperor's concubine will have a tomb together. The empty sarcophagi we have seen are It is prepared for those concubines in the palace. Whenever my father visits a concubine, an extra sarcophagus will be prepared in this tomb. Except for the queen who will be buried with my father, no matter how favored the concubine is , will be buried here after death.”

In fact, he didn't know how much his concubine mother favored him, because he had never seen concubine mother since he could remember.Although occasionally I heard a few words from some talkative palace people, but they were rumors after all, and only the concubine mother and emperor father knew the truth.

Gu Xiaowu took the lit incense from Dugu Xun's hand, and followed Dugu Xun to worship.

She doesn't have any feelings for Concubine Yun, the only thing they can relate to is that she is Dugu Xun's concubine mother, and Dugu Xun is the person Gu Xiaowu likes, that's all.

"Mother Concubine, this is Xiao Wu, she is your daughter-in-law, how about it? Isn't she cute?" Dugu Xun said with a smile, "But don't be fooled by her appearance, she is very powerful Yes, even Erchen is no match for her, but...Erchen just likes her, so he can only bear it."

Before meeting Xiao Wu, he really never thought that he would be bullied by a woman one day.

Before he met Xiao Wu, he also thought about reaching a certain age in style, and then being married by his father and emperor, marrying a concubine, concubine, concubine or something.However, after meeting Xiao Wu, other women can no longer be in his eyes. For Xiao Wu, he is really ready to throw away the title of Third Prince at any time.

As a royal family, wanting to marry only one woman is really wishful thinking.Therefore, in order to be able to marry only Xiaowu, he would give up the title of prince.

Anyway, his family fortune is already rich enough, even if he spends it day and night with Xiao Wu in the future, they may not be able to use it up in this lifetime.

"If you want to repent now, there is still time." Gu Xiaowu said jokingly, before waiting for Dugu to respond, he said again: "I'll wait for you outside first, you two can chat slowly, after reading it this time , it should be a long time before you can see her."

The candlelight in front of Concubine Yun's sarcophagus is obviously much more than that of other concubines, presumably because Ah Xun often came to visit her.

But they are going to Holy Spirit Island, and they don't know how long it will take to come back, so it is better to leave some space for their mother and son to chat slowly.

"It doesn't matter if you stay here." Dugu Xun said flatly, there was nothing Xiao Wu couldn't hear between him and his concubine, so she didn't need to avoid it at all.

Gu Xiaowu shook his head, and said, "It's a bit boring here, please speak slowly, I'll go outside and wait for you."

If Concubine Yun raised Dugu Xun from a young age, she would definitely not be like this, but she just gave birth to Dugu Xun, and it was the queen who raised him, not Concubine Yun, so to Concubine Yun, she was just I am just grateful that she gave birth to Dugu Xun.

Moreover, the biggest reason that made her want to go out first was that she didn't like Concubine Yun. As for the reason, she couldn't tell, and she felt an inexplicable resistance to her in her heart.

Her intuition has always been accurate, although Concubine Yun has passed away, she firmly believes that she will not dislike Concubine Yun for no reason.

There are not many people in this world who can make her like, but there are even fewer people who can make her feel that she wants to resist from the bottom of her heart.

Concubine Yun is one of them.

Dugu Xun was stunned, and then suddenly said: "No need, let's go together." After speaking, he looked back at Concubine Yun's sarcophagus, and led Gu Xiaowu out.

Gu Xiaowu didn't expect that Dugu Xun would go with her, but he didn't say much, and let Dugu Xun lead him out of the mausoleum.

In Jinxiu Palace, Lan Qingcheng was standing in front of the window, staring blankly in the direction of the East Palace.

She thought that Prince Chen would agree to marry her because he liked her a little bit in his heart. Only now did she truly understand that she was nothing in Prince Chen's heart.

Her weight in Prince Chen's heart was really much lighter than that of Gu Qingcheng, but she realized it too late.

Even when she knew that Prince Chen was actually using her by agreeing to marry her, she had never been so desperate as she is now.

"Brother, do you think Cheng'er is really annoying now?" Lan Qingcheng didn't turn around, but she knew that her brother was right behind her.

Lan Shenglian was slightly taken aback, even though she was really angry, to her, Cheng'er was his most beloved sister after all.

"Cheng'er has always been very good." It's just that he accidentally made a mistake this time.

He is very clear that if this matter is not handled properly, the Lan family may become history.

However, even so, he still couldn't bear to blame Cheng'er.

"Cheng'er has always been very good, so this time Cheng'er did such a thing, my brother didn't notice it before the incident happened, right? Because my brother trusts Cheng'er too much, so I didn't expect Cheng'er to betray me." Do you want your brother to do such a shameful thing?" Lan Qingcheng smiled self-deprecatingly.

She is really a fool, isn't it enough to have a brother who loves her so much?Why do you still have to go after something that doesn't belong to you?

She knew that she was not as good as Gu Qingcheng. Although they looked so similar, she was much better than herself. It was no wonder that Prince Chen fell in love with her.

If she were a man, he might not be able to help but fall in love with her.

It's just a pity that she understood it too late.Not only did her brother get ridiculed in vain, but she also caused trouble for the Lan family. She was a sinner of the Lan family.

"Cheng'er, brother will take care of it, don't worry too much." Lan Shenglian comforted her softly.

It's true that he was very angry, but he was more angry that he hadn't noticed Cheng'er's intentions earlier.If he could be more careful, Richeng'er would not be the laughing stock of so many people that day.

He felt that what he did before was really too self-righteous, and he decided everything for her without even asking Cheng'er's wishes. If he hadn't been so greedy, this incident would not have happened.

He was really confused, how could he be able to deceive such a shrewd person as Prince Chen?

I hope it's not too late to wake up, he really doesn't want to bring disaster to the Lan family.

"Brother, will Crown Prince Chen anger the Lan family because of this?" Lan Qingcheng asked with some concern, if that was the case, she would become a sinner of the Lan family.

Lan Shenglian smiled gently, and said lightly: "Silly Chenger, is Prince Chen a person who doesn't know right from wrong? Prince Chen is also half at fault for this incident, so how could he blame the Lan family for this? "

Prince Chen will not anger the Lan's family, he is just trying to make up for the Lan's family, but this time the Lan's family is really doomed.

The reason why he wanted Gu Qingcheng to marry Prince Chen instead of Cheng'er was not only because he didn't want Cheng'er to marry into the royal family, but also because of the Lan family.

Prince Chen has already been planning for the Lan family, and he has a heart for Gu Qingcheng. If Gu Qingcheng can marry him as a young lady of the Lan family, he will definitely show mercy to the Lan family.

It's just that he never thought that there was such a grievance between them, let alone that Cheng'er would do such a foolish thing, the so-called wrong step, wrong step, that's it.

"Is brother comforting Cheng'er?" Lan Qingcheng buried her head low, tears were already rolling in her eyes, "Although Cheng'er has never seen anything in the world since childhood, father and mother have treated Cheng'er as a concubine since childhood. No matter how stupid Cheng'er is, it's impossible for Cheng'er not to feel the seriousness of the situation. If Prince Chen hadn't planned to anger Lan's family, it would be impossible for him to imprison his elder brother and Cheng'er in this palace. "
