Chapter 78
"Aunt Qiu, get up. Otherwise, if people with ulterior motives see this, they will say that I treated you harshly." Feng Xihe silently asked a maid to help Aunt Wanqiu up.

Then, she asked: "Then why did you insist on letting your father take Qingyue to the Zhao family? You really don't know Zhao Zhen, you don't know the Zhao family, and you are eager to push your daughter into the fire pit?"

"I, I don't know." Aunt Wanqiu hurriedly stood up, and she explained with a pale face, "It was when I went out that day that I saw the young master, and he told me that the third young master Zhao was going to marry the seventh princess. I have retired, and I want the master to bring Qingyue to the Hou Mansion to discuss marriage."

"That's why I'm going to beg the master. Xihe, if you want to blame me, blame me, don't blame the master!"

As Aunt Wanqiu spoke, many tears had splashed down her face.

"Zhao Zhen divorced the Seventh Princess?" Feng Xihe couldn't help but sneered, "Aunt Qiu, do you think the Zhao family might give up the fat that the Seventh Princess wants?"

"Besides, if it's really about marriage, the Zhao family should bring a matchmaker here. Why let father bring Qingyue there. It's a lie to give up the engagement with the Seventh Princess, and it's true to let Qingyue go to the Hou's mansion."

"Are you so confused that you put Qingyue in deep danger without knowing it? Let me tell you, she almost lost her life in the Hou Mansion!"

Aunt Wanqiu was dumbfounded for a moment, she raised her head in a daze, and murmured: "Impossible, Young Master won't lie to me."

Feng Xihe sighed, shook his head and said, "Believe it or not, but, from now on, if there is any danger, you should bear it yourself, don't involve your daughter in it."

After Feng Xihe finished speaking, she left slowly. She took out the Baiyao formula she had brought from the Zhao family and asked Qian Yun to keep it safe. Then, she said to Qian Yun, "Go and ask Butler Lin to prepare a carriage. I want it tomorrow morning." Go to the second prince's residence."

"Yes." Qian Yun agreed, but did not leave for a long time.

Seeing the tears in her eyes, Feng Xihe asked her hesitantly what happened.

Qian Yun faltered for a while before begging: "Miss, you can take me with you tomorrow. I know you are worried about my injury. But my injury is nothing at all."

"If something happened to you, I'd hate myself."

Feng Xihe was a little surprised, she didn't tell Qian Yun what happened in Zhao's ancestral hall, and how did Qian Yun know what happened to her.

"How do you..."

"Miss, when you came back, the veil had already been changed. Just now, I checked your changed clothes, and there were blood stains on the neckline. And you didn't say anything, you must have encountered something in Zhao's house." Qian Yun raised his eyebrows suddenly. In his eyes, Feng Xihe couldn't refute every word.

Feng Xihe was stunned for a while, and finally agreed to Jiu Qianyun's request.She found that Qian Yun's observation ability has improved a lot compared to before.

At this time, in the second prince's mansion.

When Ben Lei saw Gu Jincheng, who was wearing night clothes and clutching his heart, came back, he hurriedly greeted him.

"Your Highness, Second Prince, why are you injured? Could it be that Miss Feng injured you?"

"No." Gu Jincheng denied it bluntly, and looked around, but no one else saw it.

He put his hands on Ben Lei's shoulders, walked quickly to his dormitory, sat on the couch, and practiced kung fu to heal his injuries.

Ben Lei quickly lifted up his robe, sat behind him, and poured out his internal energy for him.

After about an hour, Gu Jincheng's face returned to its original crown jade color, and his inner breath gradually returned to normal.

Unexpectedly, the last masked man's strike was quite heavy. If he hadn't used his internal force to block the wind, that palm would have hit his heart.

"Uncle Yuhuang is still in Riyue Mountain?" After a while, he asked Ben Lei, his voice was as gentle as ever, like the spring breeze in March.

Ben Lei nodded, "It will take at least a few months for Prince Yu to come back. The people who went to Riyue Mountain also said that Prince Yu has not come back yet."

Easy-going, he stopped suddenly and asked in surprise: "Second Highness thinks that it was Prince Yu who injured you today? This subordinate will go again..."

"No need, it's not Uncle Yu." Gu Jincheng waved his hand to stop him, and he thought to himself, even if Gu Shiyin came back, he did go to the Zhao Family Ancestral Hall to save Feng Xihe, so he didn't have to hide it.

"Go and find out who Feng Xihe has been in contact with recently." That person should be someone who knows Feng Xihe and it is not convenient to show up.

Also, will Feng Xihe use poison?
Mrs. Zhao thought that Feng Xihe knew poisonous techniques, but at the meeting in the Zhao family ancestral hall, her performance did not seem to be the case.

Either she covered it up too well, or Mrs. Zhao made a mistake in her judgment, but he has been paying attention to Feng Xihe for many years. If she really has been covering up all the time, it is impossible for him not to notice it at all.

But Mrs. Zhao never said anything she was not sure about, and she had been with him for many years.

Who among these two people is lying, he still needs to continue to understand.

When thinking of Feng Xihe, Gu Jincheng couldn't help thinking of the scene he saw in the ancestral hall.

Perhaps, even he himself didn't realize that the moment when the girl with some worldly beauty stood in front of him resolutely, looking at death like home, was already deeply engraved in his mind.

Feng Xihe, he suddenly laughed out loud, for her, sooner or later she will be in his pocket.If Gu Shiyin or anyone else likes it, he doesn't mind letting them grab it.

Anyway, he has absolute confidence that she will fall into his hands in the end.

"Your Highness!" Ben Lei looked at what Gu Jincheng was thinking, and asked with fascination, "Is your injury still not healed, do you need my subordinates to drain the blood of a few more girls..."

"No need." Gu Jincheng rejected Ben Lei's kindness, and then he said: "In the past few days, I will recuperate first. If anyone comes to me, I will find a way to refuse."

After Ben Lei replied "yes", he went out full of doubts.

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, when Gu Jincheng woke up, he could hear Ben Lei arguing with someone outside.

Ben Lei said very unhappy: "You go and invite her away, just say that His Highness entered the palace early in the morning to practice calligraphy with His Majesty."

Gu Jincheng sat in the wheelchair, turned the wheels to the door.Opening the door and looking, he found that it was the guards in the mansion who were arguing with Ben Lei.

"What's wrong?" Gu Jincheng frowned almost invisibly, and then, with a smile all over his face, he patiently asked the guard.

"Your Highness the Second Prince, Miss Feng is at the gate and said she wanted to see you. If she couldn't see you, she said she would, and set fire to the Prince's Mansion!" the guard said, his legs trembling.

To Feng Xihe, he didn't dare to be disrespectful, she didn't look like a lady of a famous family at all, judging by her posture, it seemed that she would really do something like burn down the prince's mansion, so he had no choice but to report it.

"Miss Feng?" Gu Jincheng thought for a while, and it really sounded like something Feng Xihe would say, "She wants to see Ben Gong, so Ben Gong can go and meet her."

For some reason, he really wanted to see her.

"Your Highness!" Ben Lei hurried to Gu Jincheng: "I'm afraid that His Highness will see her so soon, and she will recognize..."

"It's just a meeting, it's nothing." Gu Jincheng didn't care too much, and walked forward on his own.

At the gate, Gu Jincheng saw Feng Xihe lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked around.

After seeing Gu Jincheng, Feng Xihe slowly lowered his head, showing a bit of shame.

Gu Jincheng's heart froze suddenly, and then he walked over and asked kindly: "What do you and I want to do with you?"

"I..." Feng Xihe seemed to be hesitant, she said hesitantly: "I, I would like to ask His Royal Highness the Second Prince to take me into the palace to meet the Queen Mother."

Gu Jincheng wondered: "You want me to take you into the palace? Do you have something to ask the Queen Mother?"

Feng Xihe still hesitated, pursing his lips tightly, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"Why don't you come to my palace and talk about it." Gu Jincheng saw that she was so embarrassed, so he kindly invited her in.

The Second Highness actually let this woman enter the mansion!What if she saw something she shouldn't have seen... Ben Lei was worried, and subconsciously wanted to speak.

Gu Jincheng secretly gave him a forbidden look, so he could only stay still and stare at Feng Xihe.

Feng Xihe felt vigilantly that the atmosphere between Ben Lei and Gu Jincheng was a bit weird, but Ben Lei had always been very loyal to Gu Jincheng, so what happened to the two masters and servants.

"Xihe, can you say it? No one else here will hear it." Gu Jincheng led her to the quiet small pool, carefully observing her expression.

However, Feng Xihe just inquired about the environment of the second prince's mansion curiously, and didn't show any signs of paying attention.

She also understands that unless a person like Gu Jincheng is an extremely trusted confidant, he will not let others see his true side.

"It's about the eldest cousin." She said slowly, "Yesterday, from the old lady of the Zhao family, I learned that the third cousin has escaped from the prison and put the Baiyao formula in the Zhao family's ancestral hall."

"Then, I thought, using this white medicine formula to present in front of the queen mother, saying that my cousin dragged me to present it to the queen mother, maybe it can help her. After all, this is what the queen mother and her majesty have always wanted."

What she said earlier is also true, and Gu Jincheng has nothing to doubt.

After a while, he asked hesitantly: "You really want to save County Lord Anle? Then why did you go to Ben Gong? Wouldn't it be better to go to the third brother?"

Feng Xihe was silent for a while, and then she said, "I admit, I was a little jealous of my cousin before, but I won't anymore."

"Now, I really want to help her. And I have fallen out with His Highness the Third Prince and I don't want to go to her. I know, Your Highness the Second Prince, you like your eldest cousin very much, so I came to you."

After Gu Jincheng listened, suspicion flashed across his eyes.

She used to be jealous of Yun Changyi, but now she is not jealous and wants to save Yun Changyi. Could it be because of her good looks?If so, she is indeed a superficial woman.

But he had an idea, he really wanted to reach out and lift one of her veils, and look at her like yesterday.

"Your Highness, Second Prince, what are you looking at?" Feng Xihe turned his head in embarrassment.

"I am watching you." Gu Jincheng was very frank. He smiled and said, "You said, it was the old lady of the Zhao family who asked you to go to Wu'anhou's mansion, but she will not send you a message for no reason. After you go, everyone what happened?"

"This..." Feng Xihe seemed a little frightened, with tears in her eyes, she said with a choked voice: "Your Highness, I have never gotten along with people in their family. There are some things that I don't want to mention again."

"If you don't want to mention it, then don't mention it." Gu Jincheng comforted her patiently, "Didn't I ask Ben Gong to take you into the palace? Ben Gong will take you there now."

On the surface, he was calm, but in his heart, he became suspicious of Mrs. Zhao.

If Mrs. Zhao dared to include him because of personal grievances, then she would be making a big deal out of a molehill.
