Chapter 168 Questioning
When Gu Mingxuan came back from Daxiangguo Temple, this time, her mood was relatively stable - her mother's vengeance had been avenged, so she didn't have so much hatred in her heart, so naturally her mood was relatively stable.

After going home and resting for a day or two, the Mid-Autumn Festival is here, Feng Qingli's ceremony has already been delivered early, and there are mooncakes as rewards in the palace, and in the daytime, Cui Shi even brought Gu Mingxuan and Gu Minghe into the palace to receive a banquet to thank her .

The empress dowager with the highest status in the harem was not kind to the Marquis of Shun'an, because Qin Siying, whom she liked, failed to frame Gu Mingxuan last time, but was reprimanded by the eldest princess, and has never entered the palace until now. He felt uncomfortable, and even though he summoned a few grandnieces and grand-nieces of the Qin family to chat with him to relieve boredom, they all felt that they were not as caring as Qin Siying.

So the Empress Dowager didn't like Gu Mingxuan, she didn't even bother to put it off, she just didn't see Cui Shi and the others;

The queen did see them, but the queen was not keen on seizing the throne, so except for a few specific families, she would send away with only a few words to every family who was eligible to see them.

After that, Gu Minghe was called away by Concubine Shu, and Gu Minghe was called away by Concubine Pei De.

Concubine Shu is not as graceful as a queen, nor is she glamorous like Concubine Pei De. Her beauty lies in her tranquility, like a lake, calm and without waves. Because of this, it will give people a sense of distance. However, Feng Qingli remembers The adopted son under her name, Gu Mingxuan, can be said to be her daughter-in-law, and Concubine Shu has a good impression of Gu Mingxuan when she sees that she is not as rigid or contrived as ordinary ladies.

Because of the good impression, Concubine Shu's attitude is very good. Although she still said little, she even smiled at Gu Mingxuan a few times, and those who served Concubine Shu knew that Concubine Shu was in a good mood.

Obviously, the future Concubine Yong made Concubine Shu very satisfied.

However, after all, Concubine Shu has a quiet and reticent temperament, and soon after rewarding Gu Mingxuan, she sent Gu Mingxuan back to the imperial garden.

On the side of Concubine Pei De, Concubine Pei De, several concubines of the emperor and the five concubines who had a good relationship with Concubine Pei De were all there. After Gu Minghe passed by, they all greeted each other.

"This is the side concubine that the fifth prince wants to accept? This age is really a bit young, but at such a young age, she is already a beauty embryo, and she will not know how attractive she will be when she grows up in the future. It is strange that the fifth prince should make it early. "One of the concubines looked at Gu Minghe a few times, and said with a smile to Concubine Pei De, in words, she was very flattering to Concubine Pei De.

Concubine Pei De thinks highly of Gu Minghe in her heart, and Concubine Pei De thinks that her daughter-in-law, the fifth concubine, can handle it completely. Therefore, regardless of the presence of the fifth concubine, she beckons Gu Minghe to come forward, holds her hand, and says: " There is the fifth child who needs to be settled early, because I like this child who is gentle and sensible, and thinking that the fifth daughter-in-law has to manage affairs and serve the fifth child on weekdays, I feel very distressed, so I made the decision."

Others immediately understood how much Pei Defei valued Gu Minghe, and Gu Minghe, because he was a little excited, didn't care, and had to say that the nuns beside Pei Defei taught Gu Minghe very well, Gu Minghe just bowed his head slightly shyly, and saluted gently , said: "It is He'er's honor to serve the concubine De, the fifth prince and the fifth prince's concubine."

Concubine Pei De was even happier when she was flattered - probably because she thought that Gu Minghe was connected to the throne, so Concubine Pei De's cold arrogance in the past faded a lot, but the other concubines understood how much Concubine Pei De valued Gu Minghe.

Someone looked at the fifth concubine. After all, the fifth concubine is still here. Concubine Pei De just flatters Gu Minghe. This is obviously slapping the fifth concubine in the face. The fifth concubine is also annoyed now, but she is not Shen People who can't hold back their anger, and Gu Minghe is a hen that can't lay eggs now, in the eyes of the fifth prince, she is not a threat at all, so she smiled all over her face, as if she had fully felt Pei Defei's kindness, and she covered her face and smiled Said: "It's because my concubine loves me, that's why I'm willing to send such a good sister to the mansion to share my worries."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Gu Minghe and said, "Don't look at my concubine mother who doesn't like to laugh, my sister is actually the most kind person. You will know when my sister and I enter the palace with me to serve my concubine for a long time."

Gu Minghe felt a little nervous, was she eager to show her status as a concubine?Hmph, only those with a guilty conscience will show their strength through words, so Gu Minghe just saluted the fifth prince and concubine, and said, "Thank you, fifth prince and concubine, for your reminder."

This Gu Minghe doesn't seem to be easy to get along with, the fifth prince and concubine thought so in her heart, but she didn't say anything anymore. Anyway, as long as Gu Minghe married and had no children, there would be no troubles.

Gu Minghe went back later than Gu Mingxuan. When he went back, he had a golden hairpin inlaid with jade on his head. Obviously, it was a gift from Concubine Pei De. Cui just asked a few words and knew that nothing happened, so she Calm down, and then, it's time for the banquet.

When they went home after the luncheon, Gu Minghe thought of Feng Qingli who came to see Gu Mingxuan specially during the luncheon, and when he thought about the fifth prince who was with the fifth prince and concubine, he felt a wave of shock in his heart.

But he can only suppress all this irritability, as if he doesn't care at all.

However, the anger in her heart was even more.

So much so that when Jiyue saw Gu Mingxuan at night, Gu Minghe found her very unpleasant.

Gu Mingxuan didn't bother to pay attention to Gu Minghe's gaze at all. At this moment, her mind was not here at all.

When she was in the palace today, Feng Qingli said that she would take her to see the tragic situation of the third prince with her own eyes, and asked her if she wanted to go.

Gu Mingxuan's heart skipped a beat.

If it weren't for the greed of the third prince, how could she be a good young lady of the Hou's mansion living in the countryside, how could she be played by the He family, and killed by Qi Feiming and Gu Yuwen? In the final analysis, the third prince is the one who caused it.

She wished for nothing more than to see the tragic situation of the third prince.

It was precisely because she had something on her mind that Gu Mingxuan was a little absent-minded. After everyone else fell asleep, Gu Mingxuan couldn't fall asleep.

Until she noticed Feng Qingli's arrival.

Putting on the night clothes brought by Feng Qingli, Gu Mingxuan was led by Feng Qingli out of the Marquis of Shun'an Mansion.

Along the way, when there was a sound of shifting, only the footsteps of Marquis Wu when he was patrolling the streets came, and the rest were Feng Qingli's breathing and heartbeat. The uneasiness in Gu Mingxuan's heart seemed to be all at once. Feng Qingli's breathing and heartbeat dissipated.

Since the third prince was imprisoned, it was naturally impossible for him to be protected as tightly as before. Therefore, Feng Qingli easily evaded the night watch guards and sneaked into the place where the third prince was imprisoned.

After arriving here, Feng Qingli took Gu Mingxuan to the place where the third prince lived quietly - although they were all imprisoned, the third prince was imprisoned in the main hall, and the concubines and children of the third prince were scattered on both sides side hall.

Therefore, under the circumstances that Feng Qingli had already bribed the servants, he entered the main hall bedroom where the third prince was resting in a grand manner.

Gu Mingxuan saw a third prince who she couldn't even recognize—in her previous life, in her memory, the third prince was majestic and dignified, worthy of the ninety-five-year-old prince, but today, Gu Mingxuan only saw a man with disheveled hair and tattered clothes. The person actually bent down, lying on the ground and arching the food in the bowl with his mouth.

Gu Mingxuan was inexplicably shocked!
Is this the third prince?
"Are you shocked and relieved?" Feng Qingli asked in a low voice, seeing the shock in Gu Mingxuan's eyes and the excitement on her face.

"Yes...it's really good, so refreshing." Gu Mingxuan looked at the third prince for a long time, seeing him kneeling down to take two bites, giggling twice, reaching out to grab the food on the plate and stuffing it into his mouth. He didn't know for a while. Why, screaming and beating her chest vigorously, making an unknown sound of ho ho, Gu Mingxuan felt very happy in her heart.

Third prince, you also have today...

Because time was limited, Gu Mingxuan just watched it for a while, and then was sent back to Tsinghua Garden by Feng Qingli. That night, Gu Mingxuan tossed and turned and did not fall asleep. When she woke up the next day, she looked a little unhappy.

Lurui Dujuan hurriedly fetched water for Gu Mingxuan to wash her face, and then served her something to eat, and Gu Mingxuan finally came back to life.

……

Qi Feiming's life has been a little better recently.

Because the new information he provided to the fifth prince has been confirmed to be true, although the fifth prince not only failed to take down the property here, but also lost a lot of manpower, but fortunately, the fifth prince understands Feng Qingli's ambition - if he didn't want to compete with him for that position, why would he need such a huge amount of money?
The fifth prince's face sank like water, and he began to confront Feng Qingli, while Feng Qingli began the process of gradually continuing to gain strength.

Unlike the Fifth Prince, he could only see the three-acre land in front of him. He was also worried that the King of Heyang and the King of Huainan would revolt, and that when the Great Yan Dynasty was in conflict, foreigners would take the opportunity to plunder.

Therefore, while Feng Qingli was fighting with the fifth prince in the court, on the other hand, after discussing with the emperor, she gradually changed defenses at the border and promoted useful low-level generals, so that if there was a war, she would not be caught off guard.

And because Gu Wenqian's military department hid a large part of the armor and weapons after the rectification, and recast new ones in the name of replacing unqualified weapons and armor. Therefore, at this time, the armor and weapons of the Great Yan Dynasty, etc. Not lacking.

Under Feng Qingli's auspices, these luggage began to be gradually transported towards the border.

All those old weapons and armors must be replaced, so as to ensure that they will not be easily defeated in the future because there are no weapons or armors to wear.

Things are going on in an orderly manner, and Feng Qingli's political wisdom has gradually made more and more ministers start to know Feng Qingli again, appreciate him, and are willing to take refuge in him.

Feng Qingli's power was initially formed.

The emperor once again adopted a non-interfering attitude towards this matter, but anyone with a discerning eye knew that the emperor still had a lot of partiality towards Feng Qingli.

They didn't know that the emperor had talked with Feng Qingli once.

That time, the emperor asked Feng Qingli straight to the point: "Do you want to sit in this seat?"

He pointed to the bottom of his ass.

After Feng Qingli glanced at it, she curled her lips and said, "In the future, I will change to a new chair."

Emperor: "..." There was always a feeling that he should have been killed with a bowl of medicine back then.

However, no matter what, after the emperor confirmed Feng Qingli's ambition, he stood behind the scenes to see if Feng Qingli had the ability to support such a big dynasty. Of course, given that Feng Qingli started too late Therefore, the emperor naturally wanted to give Feng Qingli more support, so that Feng Qingli would not be defeated at the very beginning.

However, Feng Qingli's ability was beyond the emperor's expectations. He thought that his little Jiu could only lead troops to fight, but he never expected that he could even play with political affairs.

The emperor's heart became excited.

Because of this, the fifth prince felt the pressure everywhere, the father was too partial!He secretly hated, but dared not accuse the emperor.

In this kind of scramble, the days passed day by day, and in a blink of an eye, the New Year passed, the first month passed, and at the end of February, something happened in the palace - the third prince, who had been insane for a long time, jumped into the water in the middle of the night , froze to death.

This matter was only spread within a small area, and the people in the entire capital did not know about it, but Gu Mingxuan knew about it immediately.

And Gu Minghe knew it within a few days, and she was ecstatic—the threat of the third prince has been pressing on her heart. Now that the third prince is dead, doesn't it mean that the things she did before will not be repeated? Does no one know?
Because of this, Gu Minghe was in a very good mood, and even looked at Gu Mingxuan much more pleasing to the eye, of course, this was only temporary.

On the Shangsi Festival, when Gu Minghe saw Feng Qingli came to pick Gu Mingxuan to Shanglinyuan, jealousy began to gnaw at her heart.

Gu Mingxuan, who is 15 years old, has already grown taller. The girl has a graceful figure, white skin, dark hair, and bright star eyes; Together, they are an incomparable match.

Gu Minghe felt a great pain in his heart.

A few days ago, the fifth prince and the fifth prince concubine gave birth to another son. This is the third son of the fifth prince—the fifth prince already has two sons. The birth of this son only proves one thing, That is, the relationship between the fifth prince and the fifth prince's concubine is really very good.

How could this not make Gu Minghe sad and angry!
After all, when she saw the fifth concubine on the Mid-Autumn Festival last year, she should have been pregnant, but it was not announced. After that, her news was too closed and she didn't know anything. When she found out, the fifth concubine would be pregnant. Already five months pregnant.

Gu Minghe felt chilled.

Up to now, I haven't had my menstruation yet.

What to do.

Jealousy and unwillingness made Gu Minghe look at Gu Mingxuan with poisoned eyes.

She turned her head and asked Cui Liu how things were going outside.

Cui Liu naturally knew that Gu Minghe was in a bad mood these days, so she was very cautious. Hearing the words, she replied in a low voice: "Returning to miss, Wu Yong has already controlled the shopkeeper. As long as the miss orders, he will Immediately can make the young lady satisfied."

During these days, Gu Minghe did not live in vain. Now, Cui Liu has been completely subdued by her, replacing Yancao Biru as one of her confidantes, and the newly promoted Maple Leaf has also been subdued by Gu Minghe. There are also some unworthy servants in the mansion, and Gu Minghe also controls a lot of people-after all, he can find those who love money, and after a few strings of copper coins, they will die.

After hearing Cui Liu's words, Gu Minghe cheered up in his heart, and his fingertips trembled slightly with excitement.

Gu Mingxuan, when a murder case occurs in your shop, let's see how unrestrained you are—she glanced at Gu Mingxuan and Feng Qingli who were talking in the corridor, and her heart was even more sinister. Today, the fifth prince and concubine will definitely not appear , she is still in confinement, what about the fifth prince?
It has been two years since they got engaged, Concubine Pei De and the fifth prince valued her very much, and there were rewards every now and then, and the palace also tried to bestow things like cakes and palace flowers, but, no matter what, after Feng Qingli and the fifth prince After the comparison with the prince, Gu Minghe couldn't be calm and reconciled.

Not long after, Cui and the others were all ready, and the group set off in a mighty manner.

Shanglin Garden is the same as before, not only exquisite and gorgeous, but also magnificent.

After the sacrificial ceremony, Gu Mingxuan was no longer like before, she would be vaguely excluded by people, and many people were willing to talk around her. After all, Prince Yong Feng Qingli had become popular with his eyes, and the future Princess Yong naturally had to curry favor with her.

There were also people who flattered Gu Minghe.

The two sisters vaguely became the core of the two circles.

After lunch, Gu Mingxuan met an unexpected person in Shanglin Garden—Miss Lu.

To be honest, Gu Mingxuan's impression of Ms. Lu is not bad, and she even likes it a little bit. It's a pity that Ms. Lu is a relative of the Qu family. After that, it seems that Ms. Lu's grandmother fell ill, and Ms. Lu went back to her hometown to take care of the sick. It seems that she is coming back up.

"I have something to ask you." Miss Lu was straightforward as always, without any change in attitude due to the change of Gu Mingxuan's status.

Ms. Lu's attitude was not kind, Gu Mingxuan thought about it, and finally agreed, and followed Ms. Lu all the way to a secluded place.

"What does Ms. Lu want to ask me?" Gu Mingxuan thought for a while. She basically had no contact with Ms. Lu. If it was the only conflict, it was about the Qu family's affairs. However, when it came to the Qu family's affairs, she I didn't feel that I had done anything wrong, so I looked at Miss Lu calmly.

"Why? Even if Cousin Qu is abrupt, it's because he likes you. Why do you have to do such a terrible thing, so that Cousin Qu was ridiculed and had to leave the capital?" This question was buried in Miss Lu's heart. For a long time, when Qu Linjiang's incident first came out, she wanted to question Gu Mingxuan, but she didn't meet her. It's not appropriate to come to her door.

After that, she went back to her hometown.

In her hometown, she also met Cousin Qu, who used to be a handsome young man, suddenly looked ten years older, so haggard and decadent that it made people sad.

So, when she came back, the first thing she did when she met Gu Mingxuan was that Ms. Lu questioned her.

Miss Lu's words... Gu Mingxuan raised her head, looked at Miss Lu with burning eyes, and asked, "It seems that Miss Lu has seen the scene of Qu Linjiang pestering me, so why didn't Miss Lu stop it?"

If Ms. Lu hadn't seen it all, she wouldn't have said this to herself so firmly.

"Cousin Qu is just sincere and wants to confide in you." Miss Lu was stared at by Gu Mingxuan's star-like eyes. For some reason, she felt a little guilty, but she still insisted that she was right.

Gu Mingxuan heard the words, smiled lightly, and asked: "Could it be that if Miss Lu likes someone, can she frame or snatch someone just because she likes them to achieve her goal? If Miss Lu thinks this is no problem, then I have nothing to say. "

Miss Lu hesitated slightly when she heard the words, and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Gu Mingxuan just glanced at Ms. Lu: "In this capital city, there hasn't been a woman who had to die because of her reputation being broken, or even had to die in order to preserve her family's reputation. I don't want to be such a person .”

Ms. Lu was taken aback. She meant that Cousin Qu wanted to harm her?However, it is obviously admiration...

"Miss Lu lives so purely, I'm really envious." Gu Mingxuan glanced at Miss Lu, seeing that she didn't understand, she saluted Miss Lu, and then said, "I hope Miss Lu can continue to be so simple. It's a blessing, if Miss Lu is fine, I will be excused first."

After leaving Ms. Lu's side, Gu Mingxuan didn't want to go among the crowd anymore, so she found a secluded place to rest.

And at the place where Gu Mingxuan and Ms. Lu stayed, after Ms. Lu left, a figure raised its head from among the flowers and trees.

It was a woman dressed as a servant girl, but she looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. She looked good, but her eyes were moving around, very flexible. Obviously, she was a person with a quick mind, or rather, not very quiet people.

She stood where she was, trying to think about the information she just heard - Qujia?Gu Mingxuan?
Back then, the second young master of the Qu family had a big scandal.

If His Royal Highness King Yong knew that Gu Mingxuan had been entangled with that second young master Qu, wouldn't he despise Gu Mingxuan?Doesn't this make Miss a chance?

She tried her best to think about the details of what happened back then—at the banquet of the Qiu family, the second young master of the Qu family made a big fool of herself, but she didn't know who did it. Gu Mingxuan was rectified.

Hmph, hurry up and tell the young lady, let the young lady spread the word, so that His Royal Highness Yong knows what kind of guy Gu Mingxuan is, no, no, no one will believe this matter if it spreads out, let the young lady find the Queen Mother!
Only the Queen Mother can use this as an excuse to dissolve the engagement between His Royal Highness Prince Yong and Gu Mingxuan. In this way, Miss will have a chance.

The lady is happy, and she can live a good life.

Thinking of this, the maid quickly ran towards the Taiye Pond, and she wanted to tell the lady the matter as soon as possible.

Thinking of the benefits she could get, the servant girl's heart became hot. What made her heart hotter. If the young lady married His Highness King Yong, would she also be able to become...

Oops, embarrassed!
