famous eldest daughter

Chapter 17 Dismiss Everyone
Xiao Yu's counterattack against Concubine Shu made Gu Yuqing look at him with admiration again.

He was obviously a dandy prince who loved to eat, drink and have fun. When faced with Concubine Shu's provocation, he did not get angry or act like a scoundrel.

Under Concubine Shu's sarcastic and aggressive aura, he became more and more extraordinary, and people couldn't help but admire him. After all, he was the emperor's favorite prince.

Xiao Yu's life was short in her last life, and she knew very little about him. They had just met for the first time in this life, and Xiao Yu had given her too many surprises.

"Tell me, how come you were drugged here just fine, drinking and dancing. You were clearly fine when you were in the brocade shed, but when you went out for a walk, what did you eat randomly?" Pressing down Concubine Shu, The empress asked Dong Ce warmly.

Although his voice was gentle, his face was as calm as still water.

Reminded by the queen's question, Dong Ce immediately remembered that the second prince had given him a plum at the gate of the imperial garden.

It seemed that ever since he ate the plums, he felt a little groggy and couldn't remember much of what happened after that. When he woke up again, someone poured a basin of cold water with ice cubes on him. Even though it was spring, he was cold. His hands and feet were shaking.

When Xiao Duo saw Dong Ce's eyes glancing at him, his heart suddenly felt as if there were thousands of war horses, with clanking hooves and galloping past.

Under the tension, he unconsciously exerted force on his hands. The blue and white porcelain tea cup he held in his hands made a "click" sound and was crushed into several pieces. Before he could take back the strength in his hands, the broken porcelain pieces were immediately embedded in the palm of his hand, and a few drops of bright red Blood drops dripped down his palms onto the desk, and Xiao Duo couldn't help but frown.

Across the dance floor, Gu Yuqing naturally couldn't see how bright red the blood on Xiao Duo's table was, but seeing how his lips were almost pursed into an unbreakable line, he knew how disturbed he was at the moment.

The fun has just begun, is this uneasy?

At this time, Xiao Duo has not yet experienced the turmoil of six years of seizing the direct descendant, and no matter how deep his mind is, it can only be like this.

At this moment, Xiao Duo only regretted that he didn't practice martial arts diligently. Otherwise, he could kill Dong Ce with just one move from the air and a peanut. There would be no need to be as worried as he is now. .

Dong Ce glanced at Xiao Duo and said, "When we were at the gate of the Royal Garden, His Highness the Second Prince gave me a plum, but he didn't eat anything else."

Xiao Duo's tight lips pressed a little harder, and then weakly let go, panic spreading in his eyes.

One word stirred up a thousand layers of waves, and the atmosphere in the Jinpeng froze immediately.

If Dong Ce's previous words did not point out that it was the second prince Xiao Duo who drugged him, then this sentence is tantamount to saying that the person who drugged him was the second prince.

All the guests were watching with their eyes, nose, and heart, wishing that there was a hole in the ground and hiding themselves in it. God, why is today’s banquet so uneventful?

Before the poisonous porridge incident was completely resolved, another incident occurred where the second prince drugged Prince Dong.

They knew that royal secrets were not allowed to be heard, but everyone just couldn't control their curiosity. Although they lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, their ears were extremely sharp and they would not let go of any word spoken.

As soon as Dong Ce said this, Concubine Shu couldn't sit still and said sharply: "I know that you are not well-intentioned. The fourth prince also said that I have a guilty conscience. What, after all, I can't help but want to frame the second prince. Well, who on earth ordered you!"

Concubine Shu said the last sentence in a particularly domineering way.

After she finished speaking, Xiao Yu sat with his arms folded with an expression on his face as if he was waiting to see the fun.

The queen glanced at Concubine Shu sideways and sighed silently. When things have developed to this point, it seems that it is no longer an ordinary palace dispute.

When it comes to the prince and the face of the Tian family, she can't even make her own decision to handle this case.

As Xiao Duo's biological mother, Concubine Shu didn't know what was going on at this time, but she came up with such mindless words. Was it because she was afraid that the matter was not big enough and not enough people knew about it?

She was really stupid. She was lucky enough to be able to keep her position as a concubine without being taken care of by Concubine Hui all these years.

However, the more stupid and brainless a person is, the more controllable she is.

But the Queen knew very well that this was not the time to take the opportunity to suppress anyone. She had to hand over this hot potato to the Emperor immediately. When it came to the Prince, if she did not handle it properly in the slightest, she would incur the Emperor's wrath.

Seeing that Jingyu had reached the age of getting married, she didn't want to make the emperor unhappy at this time.

"I'm kindly organizing a flower-viewing spring banquet. You all are careless and it's making my brain hurt. That's all. Let's end today's spring banquet." The queen forcibly ended it without any explanation. This is a feast.

At this time, she had no intention of thinking of a decent explanation. It was more serious to see the emperor as soon as possible.

What's more, no matter how decent her explanation was, none of the guests in this room would really believe it because they were not fools. Therefore, the Queen would rather disperse everyone early than spend time thinking about this worthless reason.

"By the way, I remember that before the Queen Mother went to Wutai Mountain, she asked me to give you a set of noodles. They are new tributes from South Vietnam. The Queen Mother specially left them for you. She had a lot of things at hand in the past few days. , I forgot to give it to you for a while, you can go get it with me later." The queen pointed at Gu Yuqing and said.

Of course Gu Yuqing knew that this so-called reputation was just a cover.

She and Xiao Duo had just returned, and they were already inseparable participants in this matter. She had to stay.

Seeing that the queen kept Gu Yuqing for no reason, Xiao Yu became anxious, "The queen is just a face, and I'm not in a hurry right now. It won't be too late to get it next time I enter the palace!"

He didn't want Gu Yuqing to get involved in this quagmire.

"Silly boy, what do you know? I've seen this face before. It's really beautiful. With such a beautiful face, who can wait until next time to get it?" The queen gave Xiao Yu a look as if nothing had happened and turned away. He looked at Gu Yuqing with a deep gaze and an irresistible aura, "Do you think so?"

Gu Yuqing followed the Queen's wishes and said: "Naturally, I can't wait to hold this beautiful head and face in my hands."

The queen took a deep look at Gu Yuqing and smiled dignifiedly.

Xiao Yu wanted to say something else, but Concubine Hui stopped him with a look, so he had to give up unwillingly.

He must not let Gu Yuqing have an accident later.

After all the guests had dispersed, the queen ordered the maid in charge, "Go to the Yangxin Hall to report the matter, and I will lead everyone there."

The palace maid got the order and left in a hurry.

Gu Yuhe grabbed Gu Yuqing's sleeve and said in a voice that was not loud but could be heard by everyone: "Sister, I also want to see the leader!"

She had the shy and timid look of a little girl.

Gu Yuqing looked at Gu Yuhe coldly and said nothing.

She knew that although Gu Yuhe was calling her sister, he was not really speaking to her.
