Chapter 39
Gui Wang Changsun Ji obviously wanted to push Shangguan's family to a dead end.

Under Hu Yong's exhortation, the emperor's eldest grandson stopped the debate.

In addition, regarding the old incident in Gucheng, although there is evidence, it is not enough to prove that Shangguan Liu deliberately did not go to rescue.

Shangguan Bo has made great military achievements, and the Shangguan Liu family has also made great contributions to the country.

After thinking about it for a while, the emperor's grandson Lue chose to obey the late emperor's decision, and ordered everyone present to keep silent and not to discuss this matter in the future.

Although this order was out of good intentions, it undoubtedly increased the suspicion of Shangguan Liu's among the people present.

Shangguan Yuan's face was full of cloud, his eyebrows were wrinkled into a ball, his ears were red, he didn't say a word from quitting Qinzheng Hall to leaving the palace.

Shangguan Liu's son who disobeyed himself and listened to outsiders' instigation at the critical moment did not help his son to the extreme.

Unexpectedly, at the gate of the palace, in front of a large crowd, he was beaten violently.

"I don't care what kind of marriage is ordered by the emperor, as long as you marry this slut, our mother and son will be bound!"

After finishing speaking, I decided to go.

The night was cold and the snow was falling.

Shangguan Yuan fell into the snow, motionless.

Qianru hesitated, whether to step forward to help her.

At this time, Changsun came over triumphantly, "I can't take it anymore? The best part is yet to come!"

Shangguan Yuan jumped up and led Qianru away from Changsun Ji.

Shangguan Yuan's hands were thick and warm, and the warm Qianru felt conflicted and uneasy.

At this time, a carriage with half peach blossoms came slowly.

Xiangxiang didn't know what to think, but poked his head out mischievously to tease Shangguanyuan, "Brother-in-law, you must prepare more betrothal gifts, otherwise, I will block the door and prevent you from entering."

Shangguan Yuan didn't pay any attention, took off his cloak and wrapped it around Qianru's body, and walked away.

"Sister Qianru, this person looks good! You sued him in front of the emperor, and he can still give you the cloak, which is really good!"

Xiangxiang's words made Qianru more conflicted and uneasy, and even regretted handing over the petition.

Seeing her standing there motionless, Zhao Xian'er dragged her into the car, "What an ancestor, you are not cold, we are still cold!"

She could hear the resentment in Zhao Xian'er's tone, so she hurriedly explained and asked for forgiveness.

But Zhao Xian'er was even more excited after hearing this.

"Your father is an upright official and has made too many enemies. I was afraid of getting into trouble, so I didn't dare to inquire about information for you in a big way. That's why you did such an impulsive thing. It's my elder sister's fault!"

"I didn't mean it that way."

"I understand that you also have good intentions, but this matter has a lot to do with it. Anyway, you should discuss it with us in advance. Although you are very smart, what if? Do you think it is wise to sue Guanyuan? What if someone use it?"

Zhao Xian'er's words are to the point, but the blood and hatred are irreconcilable, even if she pays some price, she must find out the truth and let the bad guys get their bad rewards.

For the present plan, in order not to hurt her good sister and half-faced peach blossom, she had no choice but to quit immediately.

Zhao Xian'er was anxious, "Do you think it's over if you quit? An Qianru, have you forgotten that the three of us are Jinlan sisters. If something happens to you, Xiangxiang and I can escape?"

Seeing that Zhao Xian'er was extremely excited, Xiangxiang hurriedly comforted her, "It doesn't look that bad, nothing happened, and sister Qianru got a good home."

"What a good destination. You have only been in the capital for a short time, and you don't know how powerful Mrs. Shangguan is. Moreover, Shangguan's family is a single family in the capital, with no relatives to rely on. They cannot withstand King Gui's revenge at all."

Zhao Xian'er reprimanded her all the way, and she was so ashamed that she felt ashamed.

After returning home, she kept thinking about it. The only thing that made her feel lucky was that Zhixuan would not be affected if he was not in the capital, and this was thanks to Zhao Xian'er.

"An Qianru, are you so useless?"

She asked herself this way, and the answer in her heart made her pull the quilt to cover her face in shame.

She didn't dare to tell Zhao Xian'er and Xiangxiang what happened in Qinzheng Palace, she just thought it was a misunderstanding and had been investigated.

But judging from King Gui's words, everything is clearly just beginning.

What can I do?

In order not to hurt Zhao Xian'er and Xiangxiang, she decided to remain silent.

However, Zhao Xian'er's words also woke her up. For such a big matter, if she had no idea, she should seek help from experienced and capable people.

And such a person, she happened to know one person, that is Hu Yong, the imperial historian.

So, the next day, she prepared generous gifts and went to the Hu Mansion to wait for Hu Yong to come back from the official office.

The layout of Hu's mansion is so plain and simple that Mrs. Hu even only wore a coarse cloth jacket, and the house was made of ash charcoal that would smoke at the slightest touch in the ordinary kitchen.

She had only waited in the lobby for a while before her legs froze.

He ran several times a day, and finally waited for Hu Yong to come back, but was dismissed by a few concise words.

"The Dali Temple is investigating this case, and it's useless to ask the old man. Whether there is any hidden story or not, I still have to rely on the Dali Temple to investigate."

Although quite disappointed, but looking back, it is reasonable.

She went home lonely and found Zhao Xian'er waiting for her with a gloomy face, thinking that the half-faced peach blossom had suffered a disaster, she was at a loss what to do.

Fortunately, Zhao Xian'er was only angry because she went to visit Hu Yong.

"That group of poisonous censors are avoided by everyone, but you are walking around at this critical moment. I don't know what you think."

As he said that, Zhao Xian'er settled the wages to her, implying that she acquiesced in her proposal last night to leave the half-faced peach blossom.

She caused trouble for her good sister, how can she collect money again?
Zhao Xian'er saw that she refused to accept her push, so she covered her face and sobbed, "This is everyone's idea, not mine alone."

"Sister Zhao, you misunderstood me. The disaster was caused by me, and I left voluntarily. Let the money be compensation for everyone!"

"What can this little money compensate for?" Zhao Xian'er put the money under her pillow, covered her face and began to cry. Qianru, who was crying, also had a sore nose, and wept bitterly with her.

"My good sister, I have something to say. After thinking about it, I still think I should tell you." Zhao Xian'er swallowed the words again.

Seeing her embarrassed appearance, Qianru was very uncomfortable, sobbing, "Is it possible that King Gui has already found a half-faced peach blossom? If he has anything to say, sister, just say it."

"He wants you to go to Gui Wang's mansion to accompany him tonight, otherwise he will close half of Peach Blossom. Xiangxiang doesn't want you to lose happiness, so he has already gone to replace you"

Qianru was shocked, and hurried to the Guiwang Mansion in a car.

It was already three o'clock, the gate of Prince Gui's Mansion was closed, Qianru knocked on the door for a long time, and finally someone answered.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the servant heard her name, he immediately closed the door.

She was flustered and overwhelmed, sitting under the eaves, slapping herself, and crying at herself.

The biting cold wind blew across her face, quickly freezing the tears on her face into frost.

She felt her head was extremely heavy, and she couldn't restrain it from going down, so low that she couldn't lift it up at all.

By around five o'clock, her body was so stiff that she could hardly move like an iceman.

At this time, the door behind him opened.
