Chapter 93 Breaking off friendship with Princess Taiping
Chapter 93 Breaking off friendship with Princess Taiping
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips when she heard the words. "You discovered all of this. I thought I was hiding it well!"
"It may be to others, but to me... I can tell what kind of mood your frown and smile represent at a glance." Du Juan said in a deep voice.
Gu Caiwei's heartbeat accelerated several times in an instant. "If your words are heard by my grandfather, he will definitely beat you."
"Why?" Du Juan was puzzled.
"Because we haven't been together for a long time! If you make such a bold conclusion, he will definitely think you are lying. After all, a few months are not enough to get to know someone inside and out." Gu Caiwei said.
"Then he was wrong." Du Juan shook his head immediately, "For me, as long as I want to get to know someone, a few months is enough. The most important thing is not the time, but the time spent on this matter thought."
Yoyo, he is bragging in disguise!Self-proclaimed enough for her mind?
Gu Caiwei squinted at him, but a slight smile could not help but appear on the corner of her lips.
Du Juanqing still looked at her steadfastly: "So, now can you tell me why you are so scared when you see Her Majesty the Empress?"
Gu Caiwei sighed lightly. "Okay, you've already found out, can I continue to hide it? Didn't you already guess that Her Majesty the Queen is looking for us everywhere? However, this matter can't be regarded as her reluctance to us, after all, it is My grandfather lied to her first."
Du Juan raised his eyebrows and heard her say: "I told you earlier that the reason why my grandfather devoted himself to studying medical skills was not at all for the so-called "hanging the pot to help the world and benefit the world". It’s not good, and it’s useless to hire famous doctors, so he simply went to study medicine by himself, just to take care of grandma, and it’s best to cure grandma.”
"He came to Chang'an more than 30 years ago. On the one hand, he wanted to find the genius doctor Liu Jianping to learn medical skills from him, and on the other hand, he wanted to get a thousand-year-old ginseng to nourish his grandmother's health—you see, even if it is a famous A genius doctor, when he encounters his relatives who are dying of a long-term illness, he will rush to the doctor. In fact, the thousand-year-old ginseng didn't have much effect on his grandmother's body, but he didn't know where he heard about it. Maybe If it’s useful, I’ll find ways to get it.”
"Thousand-year-old ginseng is very rare. I remember that even if the folks dig it up, they have to pay tribute to the emperor. Ordinary people can't even touch it." Du Juanqing said.
"Isn't it?" Gu Caiwei nodded helplessly.
Du Juanqing thought of something instantly, and he frowned. "That's why grandpa went to the palace to treat His Majesty Zhongzong's headache?"
Gu Caiwei nodded with a painful face: "That's right. Grandpa sold himself just for a thousand-year-old ginseng, and he was the one who made his husband Liu Jianping take the initiative to recommend it to the empress at the time. My grandfather He is very good at acupuncture and moxibustion, even Liu Miracle Doctor can't match it, so after he entered the palace, he did relieve His Majesty Zhongzong's condition for a while. Then, didn't my grandfather still travel around to learn other people's medical skills and prescriptions? Then he added his own research and improvement, and made many pills that are said to prolong life, and offered them to the emperor, queen and others. They really felt much refreshed after taking it. His Majesty Zhongzong and Empress Wu Everyone trusted him, so when he asked for a thousand-year-old ginseng plant, Empress Wu gave it without hesitation."
A trace of surprise flashed in Du Juanqing's eyes. "It can make Her Majesty the Empress believe in him, and give him what he wants. It seems that Grandpa's medical skills are really good. But... if this is the case, how could Empress Wu at that time let him go?"
"Of course Empress Wu refused to let her go. But at that time, grandpa had been away for more than a year, and he missed grandma terribly. He had already obtained the thousand-year-old ginseng, and his mind was no longer in Chang'an. So he lied to Empress Wu, saying He knew that there was a recipe for immortality in a certain place, and he was going to find it for the emperor and empress, and he even patted his chest to promise that he would find it for them! Then, Empress Wu finally let go." Gu Caiwei sighed and moved slowly The matter was told.
After Du Juan heard it, he was stunned for a long time.
"Immortal? Does Her Majesty the Queen believe this?"
"Let it! She not only believed it, but also gave my grandfather a lot of money, and a note written by her, with the seal of her and His Majesty Zhongzong stamped on it. With that note, my grandfather can go anywhere Unimpeded. This is also the reason why my grandfather was able to leave Chang'an quickly and then disappeared without a trace." Gu Caiwei replied.
Du Junqing did not respond for a long time.
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she couldn't help but heaved a long sigh. "From ancient times to the present, many people have been pursuing immortality, especially the emperors of all dynasties. Those of us who study medicine know that birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable stages in a person's life, and no one can escape. But for those who have For people who have great power in the world, they always have the idea that they can do whatever they want and compete with God. Some people even want to enjoy such rights exclusively for eternity. These are the incentives for the pursuit of immortality So sometimes, these seemingly unreliable things are genuine. The more you think of a person who is superior and calm, the more he believes in these things. No matter how much you persuade him use."
"I understand." Du Juan nodded, "Anyway, the conflict between you and Her Majesty the Empress is that Grandpa deceived Her Majesty the Empress, and then disappeared without a word. Her Majesty has placed high hopes on him, but in the next 30 Years without a sliver of hope. The rage of being deceived, and as she got older and the fear of death deepened, she resented Grandpa more and more. So just let her catch you, If you can't come up with the prescription of immortality, you will die!"
"That's right!" Gu Caiwei nodded helplessly, "And I also want to tell you something - Her Majesty the Empress has found my grandfather's tomb."
Du Juanqing immediately frowned even tighter: "Then it's only a matter of time before she finds you."
Gu Caiwei immediately frowned. "So, I was able to become Gu Caiqin and hide in the Marquis of Changning. It can be considered that my grandfather is secretly protecting me, and didn't let me be caught by Her Majesty the Queen so quickly. Otherwise, my current life is not sure what it will be like! "
Hearing this, Du Juanqing's eyes suddenly became darker.
"So, you suddenly changed your attitude and rarely mentioned the matter of leaving again, just because you knew this?"
Uh……
The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched. "There are also reasons for this."
Du Juanqing immediately sank. "I knew it, you are a heartless woman!"
As he said that, he turned around angrily, flung his long sleeves and was about to leave.
I wipe!
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she was so angry that she really wanted to drag this man over to beat him!
She hurried over to block his way: "Listen to what I have to say first, okay?"
Du Juanqing still had a gloomy expression. "you say."
"It is true that because of the relationship between my grandfather and Her Majesty, I had to hide here for refuge. This is one of the reasons why I stayed in the Hou's mansion. But this is in contradiction with my liking for you and taking the initiative to accept Gu Caiqin's identity with you Is it? Can't I have both?" Gu Caiwei whispered.
Du Juan looked at her quietly. "You woman is really greedy."
"What's wrong with me being greedy? Since I can take care of both, I want to have it both ways!" Gu Caiwei yelled willfully, "I can also just put the words here now—the current power of the Hou Mansion is mine. I want to use it, anyway, you can get to this point now thanks to my help! And you, I want it too. If you have the ability, try to drive me out of the house? Look, I won’t scratch you to death with my claws!"
Du Juanqing didn't speak, but continued to look at her quietly.
After Gu Caiwei finished speaking angrily, she suddenly shrank her shoulders and said in a low voice: "It's a big deal, let me introduce you to a good swordsmith! Your iron mine is famous all over the world, and there must be a swordsmith there. Yes. There are four apprentices under the name of Yang Mingzi, and I know all four of them. Who do you want to invite to live in the iron mine?
"I want two." Du Juanqing said only then.
"Ah?" Gu Caiwei raised her head in surprise.
Du Juanqing said, "One is not enough, I want two."
"You are too greedy!" Gu Caiwei exclaimed, "Do you know how much each of them is worth? Two of them are too much for me!"
"I want two." Du Juanqing fought her desperately, insisting on two, there was no room for bargaining!
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "Okay, just two, I'll try my best."
Du Juanqing curled his lips. "Okay, I forgive you."
The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Why did she have a feeling that she seemed to be pushed into the pit by him again?
Raising her head quickly, she really saw the flash of pride in the man's eyes.
"You!" She immediately reacted, "Du Qi, is there anyone like you? I am your wife, what do you have to say that you can't talk to me properly, and you still have to use this method to persecute me?"
"Who told you to hide so many small thoughts behind my back? This is my revenge on you." Du Juan said firmly.
"Revenge on your size! Can you stop being so small?" Gu Caiwei scolded him angrily.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she raised her fist to beat him.
But after hitting her a few times, Du Juanqing grabbed her wrist suddenly and pulled her to the front. "To each other." He said with a smile.
Gu Caiwei immediately realized that she had been fooled again!
"You bastard, let me go! You... um!"
Then, the confrontation between the two turned into a back and forth rolling back and forth close to each other.
Hearing the noise of the two people in the room suddenly changed, Du Yi blushed, and hurriedly pulled Gu Tianyuan away.
As Gu Tianyuan was walking, he also taught him solemnly: "Why are you so shy, nephew? Husband and wife London, this is the secret of the harmony between Yin and Yang in the world, and it is also something that every couple will do. After you get married, you will also be so shy." It will be like this, so there is no need to be so secretive. Moreover, according to the degree of intimacy of sister-in-law and brother-in-law, by this time next year, I should have a little nephew in my arms!"
"I want A-mei." Du Yi suddenly said faintly.
Gu Tianyuan turned around in surprise, and saw Du Yi with a straight face, saying every word: "My brother is not fun, and he will fight with us when he grows up. It's better to be a sister, and I will hug her every day from now on."
"Forget it!" Gu Tianyuan curled his lips, "If you give birth to a little niece like Sister, you see, she won't torment you to death!"
"Then I want A-mei too. It's best to be like her, I just like it!" Du Yi insisted.
"However, if it's really a little niece, it seems good." Gu Tianyuan was taken by him, and he began to imagine, "With my sister's impatient temper, she must be too lazy to take care of children. By then, the little niece will not The two of us play together? If that’s the case, it’s up to us to teach our little niece what to do?”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands happily. "Suddenly discovered that the little niece is also good! I like the little niece!"
The corners of Du Yi's lips curled up, and he smiled longingly.
If Gu Caiwei knew that she hadn't planned to have a baby yet, and that these two little guys had already planned for her to have a boy or a girl, she would definitely give them a big surprise.
It's just that, now she has already been entangled by Du Juanqing, and she only has such a man in her heart and eyes, and she can't think so much at all, so she temporarily let these two little guys indulge her thoughts.
The two tossed and tossed for a long time during the day, and the final result was that Gu Caiwei couldn't get up in the afternoon.And when it was evening, the news of the discovery of iron ore in Yongxing County, the fiefdom of Marquis Changning, had already spread to everyone in Chang'an City, and everyone was excited about it.
They couldn't wait until tomorrow, and all kinds of greeting cards flew over to Hou's mansion like a snowflake.There are also those who want to visit directly, and those who come to give gifts... All kinds of horses and horses blocked the main road in front of the Hou's mansion.
It was getting later and later, and those people had no intention of leaving, on the contrary, there were more and more of them!
Seeing such a battle, Gu Caiwei has one head and two big ones.
"I don't care about this! It's all caused by you, and you should clean up the mess yourself. Go deal with those people!" She hurriedly pushed Du Juanqing away.
Du Junqing did not leave.
"I don't care about this matter. Things are raging fiercely right now, and the best thing for us to do is to hide our strength behind closed doors and avoid dealing with anyone!"
Then, he called Du Ren over. "Go and close the gate. Anyone who waits, as long as they come to the door, they will disappear and will not be let in. If they like to wait outside, let them wait, anyway, they are the ones standing there!"
"Yes!" Du Ren hurried to go.
When Gu Caiwei heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched. "If you do this, you will definitely be said to be arrogant and complacent once you have some support."
"If I don't do this, I will still be picked out by them for all kinds of mistakes." Du Juanqing can see it, "Then it's better to be arrogant and complacent. If everyone is offended, then no one can be offended!"
"That's true." Gu Caiwei nodded, "This can be regarded as a way to deal with it."
However, this method only works for a limited number of people.But for those who are used to running rampant in Chang'an City, that closed door is useless at all!
Therefore, Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei were not very surprised when the gate of the Hou Mansion was kicked down early the next morning.
"Mrs. Changning Marquis, Princess Taiping, please come over to the mansion." The person who came to pass the message no longer had the good face of last time, but simply announced coldly, then turned and left.
Gu Caiwei's heart sank suddenly - sure enough, what was supposed to come still came.
Du Juanqing quickly came to her side. "I will go with you."
"No. I can handle this small situation by myself." Gu Caiwei shook her head, "It's better for me to go alone, it's easier to handle things alone."
Du Junqing frowned slightly, and Gu Caiwei smiled and rubbed the twisted flesh away for him. "Don't worry, since she still knows how to send someone to invite me, instead of just coming to the door and smashing it, it means that the princess still has a sense of propriety. She won't do anything to me. So, you can stay in the house with peace of mind." Wait for me to come back!"
That being said, if she faced Princess Taiping today, she would definitely not get any good looks.
Du Juanqing was still a little worried, so he quickly called Du Yi over. "You go with your mother."
"Okay!" Du Yi nodded quickly, "I just happen to be able to meet Erlang!"
In the past few days since he came back, he also misses Xue Chongjian very much!
So, Gu Caiwei took him, and the two of them pedaled to Princess Taiping's mansion together.
Just arrived at the place, Gu Caiwei already found that the atmosphere here is very unusual.Du Yi is a sensitive child, and he even noticed something wrong at the first time.
"Aniang, have you noticed that all the people here are scary? Even the air is chilly, as if I've entered hell, I'm getting goosebumps from the cold!"
"I found it." Gu Caiwei nodded, "The princess must be angry, it's not a big deal. Let's go!"
He took his little hand, and the two went to Princess Taiping's residence together.
She guessed right, Princess Taiping was indeed angry.Moreover, it is still angry from yesterday to today!
When Gu Caiwei arrived, she saw that the coolness inside and outside the residence was even more gloomy, not to mention Du Yi, she even noticed the carelessness.
The maids and servants inside and outside the yard, and even the male favorites, all shrugged their shoulders, looking frightened, it can be seen that they have been frightened out of their wits.
Walking further inside, she saw debris on the ground again, all the tables and chairs were overturned to the ground, and all the porcelain vases, incense burners and other things in the room were not spared.
Gu Caiwei simply scanned, and she told Du Yi: "You wait here first."
Du Yi nodded quickly.
Only then did Gu Caiwei stride into Princess Taiping's bedroom, and immediately saw Princess Taiping reclining on the only surviving soft couch in the room.In front of her, several servant girls and the handsome young man were all kneeling on the ground and trembling.Their knees were still covered with fragments, and the fragments pierced into the flesh, cutting their knees to a bloody mess, but they didn't dare to move.
"Princess." Gu Caiwei walked in, and she saluted Princess Taiping.
When Princess Taiping saw her, she became even more furious.
"Kneel down!" She shouted loudly, and Gu Caiwei seemed to be able to see a burst of anger steaming from her head, reaching the sky.
Gu Caiwei did not kneel, but stared straight at the person in front of her. "The princess is angry because of the iron mine under the name of my Lord Hou?"
"Do you still dare to say it?" Hearing this, Princess Taiping trembled with anger, "Fortunately, I also introduced you as a confidant, and even wanted to hand over the iron mine under my name to you to take care of it, so as to save the face of the Marquis of Changning." Put gold on the top. It turned out that you guys have been hiding it from me! Gu Erniang, you really don't think of me as a princess!"
"So?" Gu Caiwei responded softly, "Princess, you are so angry, wish you could skin me and cramp me, and eat my flesh raw?"
"Otherwise? Shouldn't this princess be rejoicing?" Princess Taiping said coldly.
Gu Caiwei lowered her eyes. "Princess, you should know that the reason we tried so hard to hide this matter is because we don't trust you."
"you!"
She spoke so bluntly that Princess Taiping felt as if an arrow had been shot in her chest, she was so angry that she couldn't even swear.
Gu Caiwei continued: "What is your current status, don't you know in your heart? Her Majesty's biological daughter, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family. Even though you have always regarded yourself as the daughter of the Li family in your heart, in the eyes of outsiders ——Especially under the instruction of Her Majesty, you and the Wu family are an inseparable whole. If our iron ore falls into your hands, it is equivalent to falling into the hands of the Wu family, and it becomes a sharp weapon for the Wu family to fight for power. In this way, the Wu family is more and more complacent, but our work is in vain. Do you think we will be stupid enough to do this?"
"After all, you just don't believe me." Princess Taiping said coldly.
"Yeah, haven't I already said it? Your current status is indeed not worthy of anyone's trust." Gu Caiwei nodded readily.
"You said it!"
Even though she had heard her say it once, but now she said it a second time, Princess Taiping was still so angry that her chest rose and fell violently for a long time.
"Mrs. Marquis of Changning, don't think that this princess won't dare to kill you now that I have this iron mine as my backing!" She gritted her teeth and cursed.
"Of course I know. My little life is nothing in your hands, princess. Even if I die, you won't suffer any damage. It's just..." Gu Caiwei paused, "You can't bear it."
Princess Taiping's face sank again. "What are you? This princess still needs to be reluctant to part with you? There are too many people in the world scrambling to curry favor with this princess. If one of you dies, there will be a hundred of them immediately. Will be as wolf-hearted as you, doing one thing to the face and another to the other!"
"But none of them can make the taste you want." Gu Caiwei responded indifferently.
Princess Taiping was startled again.
But immediately she snorted coldly: "So what? It's just a little appetite, so if you quit, you will quit. In the years you were away, I didn't live a good life like this? You are definitely not the only one in this world who can do these things The person of things, this princess does not have to be you!"
"Of course I know this. But princess, you will still be reluctant." Gu Caiwei said softly, and she took the initiative to stride towards Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping was about to sit up immediately, but she didn't expect Gu Caiwei to grab her shoulders and make her lie back obediently, unable to move at all.
Princess Taiping was shocked. "Gu Erniang, what do you want to do to this princess?"
"Princess, don't worry, I'm just here to check for you." Gu Caiwei said, taking her hand to feel the pulse, and then nodded, "You have recovered well these few days, with sufficient energy and blood, and a stable spirit, so even if you don't After confinement, losing your temper like this won't do much damage to your body. Then you can vent it as you like, and it doesn't matter when you have vented enough and then stop."
"You!" Princess Taiping was choked with anger again.
But now she just stared at Gu Caiwei with wide eyes, but didn't say a word for a long time.
Gu Caiwei sighed again, and she took out a candy ball from her purse. "But no matter what, if you get angry and hurt your liver, you'd better not be too hard on yourself. Come, eat some candy to calm your mood."
"roll!"
Princess Taiping slapped the sugar ball to the ground.
Gu Caiwei's eyes darkened, and Princess Taiping had already slapped all the purses in her hand away.
"Get out!" She cursed angrily again, "Get out of my princess' mansion, from now on, this princess doesn't want to see you again!"
"Yes, I'll get out now."
Gu Caiwei was kind, she quickly got up and saluted, and then walked out quickly.
However, why did she leave so obediently, but she didn't feel any joy in her heart, instead she was even more angry, and even a touch of disappointment appeared in her heart?
Princess Taiping covered her chest with one hand, she slowly lowered her face, and the anger on her body gradually subsided a lot.
The son-in-law Wu You came over after hearing the news, and seeing Princess Taiping's gloomy expression, he hurriedly said: "The Marquis of Changning and his wife deceived you, they didn't discover this iron mine recently, but they have discovered it for at least a year! I will tell Her Majesty about this now, and ask Her Majesty to come and punish them!"
"Who allowed you to intervene in this matter?" Princess Taiping immediately asked in a cold voice.
Wu You was taken aback. "Princess, aren't you angry that they betrayed you? I also want to express my anger for you."
"That's also my business, what does it have to do with you?" Princess Taiping said coldly, without even looking at him, "It's up to me whether to kill them or cut them. You are an outsider, Do you dare to move them?"
Wu Youji's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head. "The princess taught me that I was meddling in my own business."
Princess Taiping snorted coldly. "Get out! I don't want to see you now."
"Yes." Wu Youji quickly backed away, and he didn't raise his head until he was out of the room. At this time, his face had already become extremely gloomy.
At this time, he heard Princess Taiping's voice from inside again—"Get up, everyone, clean up this place—don't throw that away!"
The maid who had just picked up the purse trembled and almost threw the purse out again.
She hastily took a deep breath, turned around and returned both sides of the purse to Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping looked at this small purse full of sugar balls, her expression was very complicated.
After staring at the purse for a long while, she turned away again. "Put the things on the bedside first! When the princess is in a better mood, I will take it over and play with it."
"Yes." The servant girl quickly wiped the dust off the purse before putting it next to the pillow for her, and then turned around to clean up the mess all over the floor.
When Wu Youji heard this voice outside, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Sure enough, she is different."
After muttering something to himself, he walked away again.
But when Gu Caiwei and Du Yi left the princess mansion together, she found that Du Yi had a serious face and was very unhappy.
"What's wrong with you? Did someone bully you while I was away?" Gu Caiwei hurriedly asked.
She asked him several times before Du Yi raised his head sullenly: "Erlang was beaten by his aunt."
what?
Gu Caiwei was surprised. "You're talking about Duke Ying Xue Chongjian, Princess Taiping's own son? He was beaten by his aunt, Princess Taiping?"
Du Yi nodded.
"why?"
"Because of us!" Du Yi said.
Gu Caiwei didn't know why, so Du Yi said: "The night before yesterday, Princess Taiping already knew about the iron mine in our family. She was angry at that time, and she was furious at the house. At that time, Erlang was beside him, so he said something 'They must have their own reasons for doing this', and then the princess was furious, slapped him directly, and scolded him bloody."
Gu Caiwei's heart sank instantly.
"How old is Mr. Xue Erlang, how could she be so cruel as to beat her own child?"
"Yeah, I can't figure it out either." Du Yi whispered, "Although the scar on Erlang's face has disappeared, when he talked to me, he couldn't help touching his face with one hand. How much it hurt him."
Gu Caiwei frowned again. "Then did you comfort him?"
"Yes!" Du Yi quickly nodded, "I treated him to a candy ball! He was very happy after eating one! I saw that he was so happy, so I gave him my whole bag. I was so happy I almost cried!"
After hearing this, Gu Caiwei couldn't laugh or cry.
Unexpectedly, he also came to this trick!
It seems that both Princess Taiping and her son like sweets!Is it because I have suffered enough bitterness, so I yearn for sweetness more?
Hey, I just don't know why she is so fierce to her child.Such a soft and lovely child, and Mr. Xue Erlang, whom she has met before, is an obedient and sensible child.Then how could Princess Taiping do it?Even in a fit of rage, she shouldn't!
Just thinking about it, she suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders.When he lowered his head, he saw that Du Yi had already hugged her arm and leaned his little head on her shoulder.
"I'm finding more and more that it's great to have a mother like you here." The little guy closed his eyes and said with joy.
"Does it need to be said?" Gu Caiwei pinched him on the face again, "Now you know how good I am to you, right? So in the future, you should listen to me more, and do whatever I tell you to do, don't If you have nothing to do, just dig a hole for me like your father. I won't sneak away alone!"
Du Yi stuck out his tongue. "Understood! But, if you have an opinion on Dad, why don't you go and talk to him directly? If I pass it on in the middle, the effect will be greatly reduced!"
"I originally said this to you, and let him listen to it by the way. Anyway, he won't take it to heart when he hears it-this heartless man!" Thinking of the one who knows to take advantage of her now What a stinky man, Gu Caiwei couldn't help scolding.
Du Yi heard it in his ears, but he couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.
The two of them were talking, and the carriage had already returned to the Hou Mansion.
Du Juanqing and Gu Tianyuan were waiting there anxiously.After finally hearing that they were back, the two hurried to the carriage hall to meet them.
"How is it? The princess didn't scold you?" Seeing Gu Caiwei getting out of the car, Du Juanqing quickly pulled her up and looked her up and down.
"There will definitely be scolding, but there is no physical harm." Gu Caiwei smiled and shook her head.As she spoke, she winked at him, "Besides, I want to tell you some good news—I'm afraid that I will cut off contact with Princess Taiping for a long time to come."
"Really? That's good." Du Juanqing immediately nodded.
Gu Tianyuan over there heard this, but he was anxious. "Sister, you have cut off contact with Princess Taiping, so what should we do with Erlang? I like him, and I plan to continue to associate with him!"
"What does it have to do with us if you come and go with you? If adults cut off friendship, it won't affect children's communication." Gu Caiwei waved her hands indifferently.
No wonder it doesn't affect it!
Gu Tianyuan curled his lips, but he didn't have the guts to speak out.
After confirming that both of them were safe and sound, Du Juanqing was completely relieved, he quickly took Gu Caiwei back to the room, and then said to her: "Not long after you left just now, Her Majesty the Queen came with another imperial decree - she asked me to leave for three days Let’s set off inside and lead the people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance to the iron mine.”
In other words, the imperial court is going to check the real situation of the iron mine.
And still in such a hurry!Poor Her Majesty really attaches great importance to this iron mine.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "It means that you are leaving the capital soon. Then - can you take me with you?"
She was tired of staying in Chang'an these past few months, and she was almost annoyed to death by the messy relationships here!
"Of course you and I are going to take them away." Du Juanqing responded immediately, "Otherwise, if I'm gone for at least half a year, who knows what kind of moths you'll make here?"
Tch, last time he walked away for a year!Gu Caiqin made a lot of troubles, but I didn't see him take this matter to heart!
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "If you don't want me, just say it straight! There are no outsiders here, why are you acting so reserved?"
Du Juan cleared the veins on his forehead twitching. "Do you need to be so straightforward?"
"Is it interesting to be too reserved between husband and wife?" Gu Caiwei asked back.
Du Juan remained silent.There was a gleam of light in Gu Caiwei's eyes, she stood on tiptoe, wrapped her hands around his neck, and lightly placed a kiss on his face: "Actually, this time I want to leave with you, besides wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of Chang'an , It’s also because I can’t bear you! We’ve only been together for a long time, and you’re leaving. Just thinking about it makes me feel empty and sad!”
Du Juanqing's eyes instantly softened.
Gu Caiwei kissed him again. "And thinking about it carefully, I think I feel even more reluctant to part with you. I don't want to be separated from you, not even for a moment."
Hearing this, the man's demeanor from head to toe softened instantly.There was even a hint of warmth in his eyes, even the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his hands were also actively raised, trying to support her waist.
But at this moment, Gu Caiwei suddenly withdrew her tenderness, and Renhe quickly stepped back to distance herself from him.
Du Juanqing's hands had just been raised, and now they were in mid-air, neither retracted nor raised, unable to advance or retreat for a while.
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she smiled triumphantly: "Look, you obviously like me too, so I told you that I like it bluntly! I just said a few words, and you are already so happy! If this is the case, then what are you doing? Why don't you follow suit and speak out what's in your heart? It's good for you and makes me happy too, doesn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
The tenderness surrounding Du Juanqing was instantly withdrawn.
"So, you're cheating on me again." He said coldly.
Gu Caiwei was shocked, and she hurriedly turned around. "I'm telling you the truth, do you understand the truth? Now the facts have proved that what I said is right, so you have to obey!"
While speaking, she had already run away in a flash.
This cowardly appearance made Gu Tianyuan, who followed closely, amazed.
"Your father is really my elder sister's nemesis." He sighed in a low voice.
"No, A Niang is my father's nemesis." Du Yi said solemnly.
The two turned their heads together, and saw Du Juanqing still standing there, his eyes fixed on the direction where Gu Caiwei's figure disappeared, and the corners of his lips slowly raised upwards.
Although it was just a small movement, his face immediately seemed to be covered with a layer of light, illuminating his entire face at once, and naturally showing his good mood.
Uh ~
Du Yi hurriedly rubbed his arm again. "Little uncle, have you seen it? Every time I meet my mother, my father is such a virtuous man. I have grown up with him for so many years, and I have never seen him like this before!"
"I've never seen my elder sister be so petty before! She tried every means to force her brother-in-law to talk sweet words..." Gu Tianyuan stuck out his tongue, "So, they are really a match made in heaven."
"Indeed, it's a match made in heaven." Du Yi nodded hastily.
The two little guys were whispering, when suddenly Du Juanqing's eyes swept over.
"What are you doing there?" He immediately regained his deep expression.
The two little guys immediately became excited!Du Yi hurried over. "Father, my little uncle and I came here to ask you something."
"What?" Du Junqing asked.
"We also want to go to Yongxing County!" Gu Tianyuan said quickly, "I haven't seen what a real iron mine looks like! I want to increase my knowledge!"
"Yes, although I've seen it, it's been a long time. And I don't want to leave you." Du Yi also whispered.
Du Juanqing narrowed his eyes slightly.
With these two small oil bottles, Gu Caiwei's thoughts must be divided by them again.These two little guys have no self-knowledge, and will definitely pester her regardless of the occasion, so there will be less time for him.
However, if she didn't bring it, wouldn't she miss them?Once I miss him and feel bad, so what if she is by his side?If she is not happy, he will not be happy either.
Thinking quickly in his mind, he nodded. "If you want to go, then go!"
"Okay!"
The two little guys waited for this sentence with great difficulty, and immediately jumped up for joy.
They hurriedly saluted and thanked Du Juanqing, then went back to pack their things excitedly, holding hands.
Du Juan pursed his lips. "This is equivalent to a family outing, right? It's okay, it's better than staying in Chang'an all day long."
However, just when all of them were excitedly planning to pack up their things and go out to play, something happened to Lai Guogong's mansion——
"Master Hou, the Duke's wife is ill. She is so sick that she can't even get out of bed, and she keeps calling your name in a coma. Therefore, the Duke of the Kingdom specially sent someone to ask you to go and see her."
(End of this chapter)
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips when she heard the words. "You discovered all of this. I thought I was hiding it well!"
"It may be to others, but to me... I can tell what kind of mood your frown and smile represent at a glance." Du Juan said in a deep voice.
Gu Caiwei's heartbeat accelerated several times in an instant. "If your words are heard by my grandfather, he will definitely beat you."
"Why?" Du Juan was puzzled.
"Because we haven't been together for a long time! If you make such a bold conclusion, he will definitely think you are lying. After all, a few months are not enough to get to know someone inside and out." Gu Caiwei said.
"Then he was wrong." Du Juan shook his head immediately, "For me, as long as I want to get to know someone, a few months is enough. The most important thing is not the time, but the time spent on this matter thought."
Yoyo, he is bragging in disguise!Self-proclaimed enough for her mind?
Gu Caiwei squinted at him, but a slight smile could not help but appear on the corner of her lips.
Du Juanqing still looked at her steadfastly: "So, now can you tell me why you are so scared when you see Her Majesty the Empress?"
Gu Caiwei sighed lightly. "Okay, you've already found out, can I continue to hide it? Didn't you already guess that Her Majesty the Queen is looking for us everywhere? However, this matter can't be regarded as her reluctance to us, after all, it is My grandfather lied to her first."
Du Juan raised his eyebrows and heard her say: "I told you earlier that the reason why my grandfather devoted himself to studying medical skills was not at all for the so-called "hanging the pot to help the world and benefit the world". It’s not good, and it’s useless to hire famous doctors, so he simply went to study medicine by himself, just to take care of grandma, and it’s best to cure grandma.”
"He came to Chang'an more than 30 years ago. On the one hand, he wanted to find the genius doctor Liu Jianping to learn medical skills from him, and on the other hand, he wanted to get a thousand-year-old ginseng to nourish his grandmother's health—you see, even if it is a famous A genius doctor, when he encounters his relatives who are dying of a long-term illness, he will rush to the doctor. In fact, the thousand-year-old ginseng didn't have much effect on his grandmother's body, but he didn't know where he heard about it. Maybe If it’s useful, I’ll find ways to get it.”
"Thousand-year-old ginseng is very rare. I remember that even if the folks dig it up, they have to pay tribute to the emperor. Ordinary people can't even touch it." Du Juanqing said.
"Isn't it?" Gu Caiwei nodded helplessly.
Du Juanqing thought of something instantly, and he frowned. "That's why grandpa went to the palace to treat His Majesty Zhongzong's headache?"
Gu Caiwei nodded with a painful face: "That's right. Grandpa sold himself just for a thousand-year-old ginseng, and he was the one who made his husband Liu Jianping take the initiative to recommend it to the empress at the time. My grandfather He is very good at acupuncture and moxibustion, even Liu Miracle Doctor can't match it, so after he entered the palace, he did relieve His Majesty Zhongzong's condition for a while. Then, didn't my grandfather still travel around to learn other people's medical skills and prescriptions? Then he added his own research and improvement, and made many pills that are said to prolong life, and offered them to the emperor, queen and others. They really felt much refreshed after taking it. His Majesty Zhongzong and Empress Wu Everyone trusted him, so when he asked for a thousand-year-old ginseng plant, Empress Wu gave it without hesitation."
A trace of surprise flashed in Du Juanqing's eyes. "It can make Her Majesty the Empress believe in him, and give him what he wants. It seems that Grandpa's medical skills are really good. But... if this is the case, how could Empress Wu at that time let him go?"
"Of course Empress Wu refused to let her go. But at that time, grandpa had been away for more than a year, and he missed grandma terribly. He had already obtained the thousand-year-old ginseng, and his mind was no longer in Chang'an. So he lied to Empress Wu, saying He knew that there was a recipe for immortality in a certain place, and he was going to find it for the emperor and empress, and he even patted his chest to promise that he would find it for them! Then, Empress Wu finally let go." Gu Caiwei sighed and moved slowly The matter was told.
After Du Juan heard it, he was stunned for a long time.
"Immortal? Does Her Majesty the Queen believe this?"
"Let it! She not only believed it, but also gave my grandfather a lot of money, and a note written by her, with the seal of her and His Majesty Zhongzong stamped on it. With that note, my grandfather can go anywhere Unimpeded. This is also the reason why my grandfather was able to leave Chang'an quickly and then disappeared without a trace." Gu Caiwei replied.
Du Junqing did not respond for a long time.
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she couldn't help but heaved a long sigh. "From ancient times to the present, many people have been pursuing immortality, especially the emperors of all dynasties. Those of us who study medicine know that birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable stages in a person's life, and no one can escape. But for those who have For people who have great power in the world, they always have the idea that they can do whatever they want and compete with God. Some people even want to enjoy such rights exclusively for eternity. These are the incentives for the pursuit of immortality So sometimes, these seemingly unreliable things are genuine. The more you think of a person who is superior and calm, the more he believes in these things. No matter how much you persuade him use."
"I understand." Du Juan nodded, "Anyway, the conflict between you and Her Majesty the Empress is that Grandpa deceived Her Majesty the Empress, and then disappeared without a word. Her Majesty has placed high hopes on him, but in the next 30 Years without a sliver of hope. The rage of being deceived, and as she got older and the fear of death deepened, she resented Grandpa more and more. So just let her catch you, If you can't come up with the prescription of immortality, you will die!"
"That's right!" Gu Caiwei nodded helplessly, "And I also want to tell you something - Her Majesty the Empress has found my grandfather's tomb."
Du Juanqing immediately frowned even tighter: "Then it's only a matter of time before she finds you."
Gu Caiwei immediately frowned. "So, I was able to become Gu Caiqin and hide in the Marquis of Changning. It can be considered that my grandfather is secretly protecting me, and didn't let me be caught by Her Majesty the Queen so quickly. Otherwise, my current life is not sure what it will be like! "
Hearing this, Du Juanqing's eyes suddenly became darker.
"So, you suddenly changed your attitude and rarely mentioned the matter of leaving again, just because you knew this?"
Uh……
The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched. "There are also reasons for this."
Du Juanqing immediately sank. "I knew it, you are a heartless woman!"
As he said that, he turned around angrily, flung his long sleeves and was about to leave.
I wipe!
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she was so angry that she really wanted to drag this man over to beat him!
She hurried over to block his way: "Listen to what I have to say first, okay?"
Du Juanqing still had a gloomy expression. "you say."
"It is true that because of the relationship between my grandfather and Her Majesty, I had to hide here for refuge. This is one of the reasons why I stayed in the Hou's mansion. But this is in contradiction with my liking for you and taking the initiative to accept Gu Caiqin's identity with you Is it? Can't I have both?" Gu Caiwei whispered.
Du Juan looked at her quietly. "You woman is really greedy."
"What's wrong with me being greedy? Since I can take care of both, I want to have it both ways!" Gu Caiwei yelled willfully, "I can also just put the words here now—the current power of the Hou Mansion is mine. I want to use it, anyway, you can get to this point now thanks to my help! And you, I want it too. If you have the ability, try to drive me out of the house? Look, I won’t scratch you to death with my claws!"
Du Juanqing didn't speak, but continued to look at her quietly.
After Gu Caiwei finished speaking angrily, she suddenly shrank her shoulders and said in a low voice: "It's a big deal, let me introduce you to a good swordsmith! Your iron mine is famous all over the world, and there must be a swordsmith there. Yes. There are four apprentices under the name of Yang Mingzi, and I know all four of them. Who do you want to invite to live in the iron mine?
"I want two." Du Juanqing said only then.
"Ah?" Gu Caiwei raised her head in surprise.
Du Juanqing said, "One is not enough, I want two."
"You are too greedy!" Gu Caiwei exclaimed, "Do you know how much each of them is worth? Two of them are too much for me!"
"I want two." Du Juanqing fought her desperately, insisting on two, there was no room for bargaining!
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "Okay, just two, I'll try my best."
Du Juanqing curled his lips. "Okay, I forgive you."
The corners of Gu Caiwei's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Why did she have a feeling that she seemed to be pushed into the pit by him again?
Raising her head quickly, she really saw the flash of pride in the man's eyes.
"You!" She immediately reacted, "Du Qi, is there anyone like you? I am your wife, what do you have to say that you can't talk to me properly, and you still have to use this method to persecute me?"
"Who told you to hide so many small thoughts behind my back? This is my revenge on you." Du Juan said firmly.
"Revenge on your size! Can you stop being so small?" Gu Caiwei scolded him angrily.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, and she raised her fist to beat him.
But after hitting her a few times, Du Juanqing grabbed her wrist suddenly and pulled her to the front. "To each other." He said with a smile.
Gu Caiwei immediately realized that she had been fooled again!
"You bastard, let me go! You... um!"
Then, the confrontation between the two turned into a back and forth rolling back and forth close to each other.
Hearing the noise of the two people in the room suddenly changed, Du Yi blushed, and hurriedly pulled Gu Tianyuan away.
As Gu Tianyuan was walking, he also taught him solemnly: "Why are you so shy, nephew? Husband and wife London, this is the secret of the harmony between Yin and Yang in the world, and it is also something that every couple will do. After you get married, you will also be so shy." It will be like this, so there is no need to be so secretive. Moreover, according to the degree of intimacy of sister-in-law and brother-in-law, by this time next year, I should have a little nephew in my arms!"
"I want A-mei." Du Yi suddenly said faintly.
Gu Tianyuan turned around in surprise, and saw Du Yi with a straight face, saying every word: "My brother is not fun, and he will fight with us when he grows up. It's better to be a sister, and I will hug her every day from now on."
"Forget it!" Gu Tianyuan curled his lips, "If you give birth to a little niece like Sister, you see, she won't torment you to death!"
"Then I want A-mei too. It's best to be like her, I just like it!" Du Yi insisted.
"However, if it's really a little niece, it seems good." Gu Tianyuan was taken by him, and he began to imagine, "With my sister's impatient temper, she must be too lazy to take care of children. By then, the little niece will not The two of us play together? If that’s the case, it’s up to us to teach our little niece what to do?”
As he spoke, he clapped his hands happily. "Suddenly discovered that the little niece is also good! I like the little niece!"
The corners of Du Yi's lips curled up, and he smiled longingly.
If Gu Caiwei knew that she hadn't planned to have a baby yet, and that these two little guys had already planned for her to have a boy or a girl, she would definitely give them a big surprise.
It's just that, now she has already been entangled by Du Juanqing, and she only has such a man in her heart and eyes, and she can't think so much at all, so she temporarily let these two little guys indulge her thoughts.
The two tossed and tossed for a long time during the day, and the final result was that Gu Caiwei couldn't get up in the afternoon.And when it was evening, the news of the discovery of iron ore in Yongxing County, the fiefdom of Marquis Changning, had already spread to everyone in Chang'an City, and everyone was excited about it.
They couldn't wait until tomorrow, and all kinds of greeting cards flew over to Hou's mansion like a snowflake.There are also those who want to visit directly, and those who come to give gifts... All kinds of horses and horses blocked the main road in front of the Hou's mansion.
It was getting later and later, and those people had no intention of leaving, on the contrary, there were more and more of them!
Seeing such a battle, Gu Caiwei has one head and two big ones.
"I don't care about this! It's all caused by you, and you should clean up the mess yourself. Go deal with those people!" She hurriedly pushed Du Juanqing away.
Du Junqing did not leave.
"I don't care about this matter. Things are raging fiercely right now, and the best thing for us to do is to hide our strength behind closed doors and avoid dealing with anyone!"
Then, he called Du Ren over. "Go and close the gate. Anyone who waits, as long as they come to the door, they will disappear and will not be let in. If they like to wait outside, let them wait, anyway, they are the ones standing there!"
"Yes!" Du Ren hurried to go.
When Gu Caiwei heard this, the corners of her mouth twitched. "If you do this, you will definitely be said to be arrogant and complacent once you have some support."
"If I don't do this, I will still be picked out by them for all kinds of mistakes." Du Juanqing can see it, "Then it's better to be arrogant and complacent. If everyone is offended, then no one can be offended!"
"That's true." Gu Caiwei nodded, "This can be regarded as a way to deal with it."
However, this method only works for a limited number of people.But for those who are used to running rampant in Chang'an City, that closed door is useless at all!
Therefore, Du Juanqing and Gu Caiwei were not very surprised when the gate of the Hou Mansion was kicked down early the next morning.
"Mrs. Changning Marquis, Princess Taiping, please come over to the mansion." The person who came to pass the message no longer had the good face of last time, but simply announced coldly, then turned and left.
Gu Caiwei's heart sank suddenly - sure enough, what was supposed to come still came.
Du Juanqing quickly came to her side. "I will go with you."
"No. I can handle this small situation by myself." Gu Caiwei shook her head, "It's better for me to go alone, it's easier to handle things alone."
Du Junqing frowned slightly, and Gu Caiwei smiled and rubbed the twisted flesh away for him. "Don't worry, since she still knows how to send someone to invite me, instead of just coming to the door and smashing it, it means that the princess still has a sense of propriety. She won't do anything to me. So, you can stay in the house with peace of mind." Wait for me to come back!"
That being said, if she faced Princess Taiping today, she would definitely not get any good looks.
Du Juanqing was still a little worried, so he quickly called Du Yi over. "You go with your mother."
"Okay!" Du Yi nodded quickly, "I just happen to be able to meet Erlang!"
In the past few days since he came back, he also misses Xue Chongjian very much!
So, Gu Caiwei took him, and the two of them pedaled to Princess Taiping's mansion together.
Just arrived at the place, Gu Caiwei already found that the atmosphere here is very unusual.Du Yi is a sensitive child, and he even noticed something wrong at the first time.
"Aniang, have you noticed that all the people here are scary? Even the air is chilly, as if I've entered hell, I'm getting goosebumps from the cold!"
"I found it." Gu Caiwei nodded, "The princess must be angry, it's not a big deal. Let's go!"
He took his little hand, and the two went to Princess Taiping's residence together.
She guessed right, Princess Taiping was indeed angry.Moreover, it is still angry from yesterday to today!
When Gu Caiwei arrived, she saw that the coolness inside and outside the residence was even more gloomy, not to mention Du Yi, she even noticed the carelessness.
The maids and servants inside and outside the yard, and even the male favorites, all shrugged their shoulders, looking frightened, it can be seen that they have been frightened out of their wits.
Walking further inside, she saw debris on the ground again, all the tables and chairs were overturned to the ground, and all the porcelain vases, incense burners and other things in the room were not spared.
Gu Caiwei simply scanned, and she told Du Yi: "You wait here first."
Du Yi nodded quickly.
Only then did Gu Caiwei stride into Princess Taiping's bedroom, and immediately saw Princess Taiping reclining on the only surviving soft couch in the room.In front of her, several servant girls and the handsome young man were all kneeling on the ground and trembling.Their knees were still covered with fragments, and the fragments pierced into the flesh, cutting their knees to a bloody mess, but they didn't dare to move.
"Princess." Gu Caiwei walked in, and she saluted Princess Taiping.
When Princess Taiping saw her, she became even more furious.
"Kneel down!" She shouted loudly, and Gu Caiwei seemed to be able to see a burst of anger steaming from her head, reaching the sky.
Gu Caiwei did not kneel, but stared straight at the person in front of her. "The princess is angry because of the iron mine under the name of my Lord Hou?"
"Do you still dare to say it?" Hearing this, Princess Taiping trembled with anger, "Fortunately, I also introduced you as a confidant, and even wanted to hand over the iron mine under my name to you to take care of it, so as to save the face of the Marquis of Changning." Put gold on the top. It turned out that you guys have been hiding it from me! Gu Erniang, you really don't think of me as a princess!"
"So?" Gu Caiwei responded softly, "Princess, you are so angry, wish you could skin me and cramp me, and eat my flesh raw?"
"Otherwise? Shouldn't this princess be rejoicing?" Princess Taiping said coldly.
Gu Caiwei lowered her eyes. "Princess, you should know that the reason we tried so hard to hide this matter is because we don't trust you."
"you!"
She spoke so bluntly that Princess Taiping felt as if an arrow had been shot in her chest, she was so angry that she couldn't even swear.
Gu Caiwei continued: "What is your current status, don't you know in your heart? Her Majesty's biological daughter, the daughter-in-law of the Wu family. Even though you have always regarded yourself as the daughter of the Li family in your heart, in the eyes of outsiders ——Especially under the instruction of Her Majesty, you and the Wu family are an inseparable whole. If our iron ore falls into your hands, it is equivalent to falling into the hands of the Wu family, and it becomes a sharp weapon for the Wu family to fight for power. In this way, the Wu family is more and more complacent, but our work is in vain. Do you think we will be stupid enough to do this?"
"After all, you just don't believe me." Princess Taiping said coldly.
"Yeah, haven't I already said it? Your current status is indeed not worthy of anyone's trust." Gu Caiwei nodded readily.
"You said it!"
Even though she had heard her say it once, but now she said it a second time, Princess Taiping was still so angry that her chest rose and fell violently for a long time.
"Mrs. Marquis of Changning, don't think that this princess won't dare to kill you now that I have this iron mine as my backing!" She gritted her teeth and cursed.
"Of course I know. My little life is nothing in your hands, princess. Even if I die, you won't suffer any damage. It's just..." Gu Caiwei paused, "You can't bear it."
Princess Taiping's face sank again. "What are you? This princess still needs to be reluctant to part with you? There are too many people in the world scrambling to curry favor with this princess. If one of you dies, there will be a hundred of them immediately. Will be as wolf-hearted as you, doing one thing to the face and another to the other!"
"But none of them can make the taste you want." Gu Caiwei responded indifferently.
Princess Taiping was startled again.
But immediately she snorted coldly: "So what? It's just a little appetite, so if you quit, you will quit. In the years you were away, I didn't live a good life like this? You are definitely not the only one in this world who can do these things The person of things, this princess does not have to be you!"
"Of course I know this. But princess, you will still be reluctant." Gu Caiwei said softly, and she took the initiative to stride towards Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping was about to sit up immediately, but she didn't expect Gu Caiwei to grab her shoulders and make her lie back obediently, unable to move at all.
Princess Taiping was shocked. "Gu Erniang, what do you want to do to this princess?"
"Princess, don't worry, I'm just here to check for you." Gu Caiwei said, taking her hand to feel the pulse, and then nodded, "You have recovered well these few days, with sufficient energy and blood, and a stable spirit, so even if you don't After confinement, losing your temper like this won't do much damage to your body. Then you can vent it as you like, and it doesn't matter when you have vented enough and then stop."
"You!" Princess Taiping was choked with anger again.
But now she just stared at Gu Caiwei with wide eyes, but didn't say a word for a long time.
Gu Caiwei sighed again, and she took out a candy ball from her purse. "But no matter what, if you get angry and hurt your liver, you'd better not be too hard on yourself. Come, eat some candy to calm your mood."
"roll!"
Princess Taiping slapped the sugar ball to the ground.
Gu Caiwei's eyes darkened, and Princess Taiping had already slapped all the purses in her hand away.
"Get out!" She cursed angrily again, "Get out of my princess' mansion, from now on, this princess doesn't want to see you again!"
"Yes, I'll get out now."
Gu Caiwei was kind, she quickly got up and saluted, and then walked out quickly.
However, why did she leave so obediently, but she didn't feel any joy in her heart, instead she was even more angry, and even a touch of disappointment appeared in her heart?
Princess Taiping covered her chest with one hand, she slowly lowered her face, and the anger on her body gradually subsided a lot.
The son-in-law Wu You came over after hearing the news, and seeing Princess Taiping's gloomy expression, he hurriedly said: "The Marquis of Changning and his wife deceived you, they didn't discover this iron mine recently, but they have discovered it for at least a year! I will tell Her Majesty about this now, and ask Her Majesty to come and punish them!"
"Who allowed you to intervene in this matter?" Princess Taiping immediately asked in a cold voice.
Wu You was taken aback. "Princess, aren't you angry that they betrayed you? I also want to express my anger for you."
"That's also my business, what does it have to do with you?" Princess Taiping said coldly, without even looking at him, "It's up to me whether to kill them or cut them. You are an outsider, Do you dare to move them?"
Wu Youji's face changed slightly, and he quickly lowered his head. "The princess taught me that I was meddling in my own business."
Princess Taiping snorted coldly. "Get out! I don't want to see you now."
"Yes." Wu Youji quickly backed away, and he didn't raise his head until he was out of the room. At this time, his face had already become extremely gloomy.
At this time, he heard Princess Taiping's voice from inside again—"Get up, everyone, clean up this place—don't throw that away!"
The maid who had just picked up the purse trembled and almost threw the purse out again.
She hastily took a deep breath, turned around and returned both sides of the purse to Princess Taiping.
Princess Taiping looked at this small purse full of sugar balls, her expression was very complicated.
After staring at the purse for a long while, she turned away again. "Put the things on the bedside first! When the princess is in a better mood, I will take it over and play with it."
"Yes." The servant girl quickly wiped the dust off the purse before putting it next to the pillow for her, and then turned around to clean up the mess all over the floor.
When Wu Youji heard this voice outside, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Sure enough, she is different."
After muttering something to himself, he walked away again.
But when Gu Caiwei and Du Yi left the princess mansion together, she found that Du Yi had a serious face and was very unhappy.
"What's wrong with you? Did someone bully you while I was away?" Gu Caiwei hurriedly asked.
She asked him several times before Du Yi raised his head sullenly: "Erlang was beaten by his aunt."
what?
Gu Caiwei was surprised. "You're talking about Duke Ying Xue Chongjian, Princess Taiping's own son? He was beaten by his aunt, Princess Taiping?"
Du Yi nodded.
"why?"
"Because of us!" Du Yi said.
Gu Caiwei didn't know why, so Du Yi said: "The night before yesterday, Princess Taiping already knew about the iron mine in our family. She was angry at that time, and she was furious at the house. At that time, Erlang was beside him, so he said something 'They must have their own reasons for doing this', and then the princess was furious, slapped him directly, and scolded him bloody."
Gu Caiwei's heart sank instantly.
"How old is Mr. Xue Erlang, how could she be so cruel as to beat her own child?"
"Yeah, I can't figure it out either." Du Yi whispered, "Although the scar on Erlang's face has disappeared, when he talked to me, he couldn't help touching his face with one hand. How much it hurt him."
Gu Caiwei frowned again. "Then did you comfort him?"
"Yes!" Du Yi quickly nodded, "I treated him to a candy ball! He was very happy after eating one! I saw that he was so happy, so I gave him my whole bag. I was so happy I almost cried!"
After hearing this, Gu Caiwei couldn't laugh or cry.
Unexpectedly, he also came to this trick!
It seems that both Princess Taiping and her son like sweets!Is it because I have suffered enough bitterness, so I yearn for sweetness more?
Hey, I just don't know why she is so fierce to her child.Such a soft and lovely child, and Mr. Xue Erlang, whom she has met before, is an obedient and sensible child.Then how could Princess Taiping do it?Even in a fit of rage, she shouldn't!
Just thinking about it, she suddenly felt a heavy weight on her shoulders.When he lowered his head, he saw that Du Yi had already hugged her arm and leaned his little head on her shoulder.
"I'm finding more and more that it's great to have a mother like you here." The little guy closed his eyes and said with joy.
"Does it need to be said?" Gu Caiwei pinched him on the face again, "Now you know how good I am to you, right? So in the future, you should listen to me more, and do whatever I tell you to do, don't If you have nothing to do, just dig a hole for me like your father. I won't sneak away alone!"
Du Yi stuck out his tongue. "Understood! But, if you have an opinion on Dad, why don't you go and talk to him directly? If I pass it on in the middle, the effect will be greatly reduced!"
"I originally said this to you, and let him listen to it by the way. Anyway, he won't take it to heart when he hears it-this heartless man!" Thinking of the one who knows to take advantage of her now What a stinky man, Gu Caiwei couldn't help scolding.
Du Yi heard it in his ears, but he couldn't help covering his mouth and laughing.
The two of them were talking, and the carriage had already returned to the Hou Mansion.
Du Juanqing and Gu Tianyuan were waiting there anxiously.After finally hearing that they were back, the two hurried to the carriage hall to meet them.
"How is it? The princess didn't scold you?" Seeing Gu Caiwei getting out of the car, Du Juanqing quickly pulled her up and looked her up and down.
"There will definitely be scolding, but there is no physical harm." Gu Caiwei smiled and shook her head.As she spoke, she winked at him, "Besides, I want to tell you some good news—I'm afraid that I will cut off contact with Princess Taiping for a long time to come."
"Really? That's good." Du Juanqing immediately nodded.
Gu Tianyuan over there heard this, but he was anxious. "Sister, you have cut off contact with Princess Taiping, so what should we do with Erlang? I like him, and I plan to continue to associate with him!"
"What does it have to do with us if you come and go with you? If adults cut off friendship, it won't affect children's communication." Gu Caiwei waved her hands indifferently.
No wonder it doesn't affect it!
Gu Tianyuan curled his lips, but he didn't have the guts to speak out.
After confirming that both of them were safe and sound, Du Juanqing was completely relieved, he quickly took Gu Caiwei back to the room, and then said to her: "Not long after you left just now, Her Majesty the Queen came with another imperial decree - she asked me to leave for three days Let’s set off inside and lead the people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Finance to the iron mine.”
In other words, the imperial court is going to check the real situation of the iron mine.
And still in such a hurry!Poor Her Majesty really attaches great importance to this iron mine.
Gu Caiwei nodded. "It means that you are leaving the capital soon. Then - can you take me with you?"
She was tired of staying in Chang'an these past few months, and she was almost annoyed to death by the messy relationships here!
"Of course you and I are going to take them away." Du Juanqing responded immediately, "Otherwise, if I'm gone for at least half a year, who knows what kind of moths you'll make here?"
Tch, last time he walked away for a year!Gu Caiqin made a lot of troubles, but I didn't see him take this matter to heart!
Gu Caiwei pursed her lips. "If you don't want me, just say it straight! There are no outsiders here, why are you acting so reserved?"
Du Juan cleared the veins on his forehead twitching. "Do you need to be so straightforward?"
"Is it interesting to be too reserved between husband and wife?" Gu Caiwei asked back.
Du Juan remained silent.There was a gleam of light in Gu Caiwei's eyes, she stood on tiptoe, wrapped her hands around his neck, and lightly placed a kiss on his face: "Actually, this time I want to leave with you, besides wanting to escape the hustle and bustle of Chang'an , It’s also because I can’t bear you! We’ve only been together for a long time, and you’re leaving. Just thinking about it makes me feel empty and sad!”
Du Juanqing's eyes instantly softened.
Gu Caiwei kissed him again. "And thinking about it carefully, I think I feel even more reluctant to part with you. I don't want to be separated from you, not even for a moment."
Hearing this, the man's demeanor from head to toe softened instantly.There was even a hint of warmth in his eyes, even the corners of his lips were slightly raised, and his hands were also actively raised, trying to support her waist.
But at this moment, Gu Caiwei suddenly withdrew her tenderness, and Renhe quickly stepped back to distance herself from him.
Du Juanqing's hands had just been raised, and now they were in mid-air, neither retracted nor raised, unable to advance or retreat for a while.
When Gu Caiwei saw this, she smiled triumphantly: "Look, you obviously like me too, so I told you that I like it bluntly! I just said a few words, and you are already so happy! If this is the case, then what are you doing? Why don't you follow suit and speak out what's in your heart? It's good for you and makes me happy too, doesn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
The tenderness surrounding Du Juanqing was instantly withdrawn.
"So, you're cheating on me again." He said coldly.
Gu Caiwei was shocked, and she hurriedly turned around. "I'm telling you the truth, do you understand the truth? Now the facts have proved that what I said is right, so you have to obey!"
While speaking, she had already run away in a flash.
This cowardly appearance made Gu Tianyuan, who followed closely, amazed.
"Your father is really my elder sister's nemesis." He sighed in a low voice.
"No, A Niang is my father's nemesis." Du Yi said solemnly.
The two turned their heads together, and saw Du Juanqing still standing there, his eyes fixed on the direction where Gu Caiwei's figure disappeared, and the corners of his lips slowly raised upwards.
Although it was just a small movement, his face immediately seemed to be covered with a layer of light, illuminating his entire face at once, and naturally showing his good mood.
Uh ~
Du Yi hurriedly rubbed his arm again. "Little uncle, have you seen it? Every time I meet my mother, my father is such a virtuous man. I have grown up with him for so many years, and I have never seen him like this before!"
"I've never seen my elder sister be so petty before! She tried every means to force her brother-in-law to talk sweet words..." Gu Tianyuan stuck out his tongue, "So, they are really a match made in heaven."
"Indeed, it's a match made in heaven." Du Yi nodded hastily.
The two little guys were whispering, when suddenly Du Juanqing's eyes swept over.
"What are you doing there?" He immediately regained his deep expression.
The two little guys immediately became excited!Du Yi hurried over. "Father, my little uncle and I came here to ask you something."
"What?" Du Junqing asked.
"We also want to go to Yongxing County!" Gu Tianyuan said quickly, "I haven't seen what a real iron mine looks like! I want to increase my knowledge!"
"Yes, although I've seen it, it's been a long time. And I don't want to leave you." Du Yi also whispered.
Du Juanqing narrowed his eyes slightly.
With these two small oil bottles, Gu Caiwei's thoughts must be divided by them again.These two little guys have no self-knowledge, and will definitely pester her regardless of the occasion, so there will be less time for him.
However, if she didn't bring it, wouldn't she miss them?Once I miss him and feel bad, so what if she is by his side?If she is not happy, he will not be happy either.
Thinking quickly in his mind, he nodded. "If you want to go, then go!"
"Okay!"
The two little guys waited for this sentence with great difficulty, and immediately jumped up for joy.
They hurriedly saluted and thanked Du Juanqing, then went back to pack their things excitedly, holding hands.
Du Juan pursed his lips. "This is equivalent to a family outing, right? It's okay, it's better than staying in Chang'an all day long."
However, just when all of them were excitedly planning to pack up their things and go out to play, something happened to Lai Guogong's mansion——
"Master Hou, the Duke's wife is ill. She is so sick that she can't even get out of bed, and she keeps calling your name in a coma. Therefore, the Duke of the Kingdom specially sent someone to ask you to go and see her."
