famous eldest daughter

Chapter 742 I Don't Know
Xiao Yu's warm eyes were staring at her, and he muttered, "Why were you so careless? Why did you fall?" As he said this, he pulled her sleeves and led her away.

After all, they had not yet come to the church to get married, so he still couldn't hold her hand in public and could only pull her sleeve. Even so, only a prince like him who had always been unruly dared to do it.

His low voice fell in Gu Yuqing's ears, and a string of small flowers bloomed in her heart. She didn't answer, but she pursed her lips slightly and followed him out of the mourning hall.

As soon as they came out of the mourning hall, Ji Xiang Ruyi came up to him and helped Gu Yuqing.

Xiao Yu let go and led her to a crowded and noisy place, and stood against the wall. On the left was Ji Xiang Ruyi, and on the right was Ming Road. Not far ahead, Xiao Ke was casually leaning against a tree with a nonchalant look on his face.

It looks like a chaotic environment, but in fact, the location they are in is surrounded by these people and forms an isolated space. As long as they lower their voices and speak, there will be no problems. Moreover, because of the large public, no one will feel strange. Heart.

He was obviously full of things to say. When he knelt down just now, his mind was thinking about how to speak and explain when he saw Gu Yuqing. But at this moment, Gu Yuqing was right in front of him, but Xiao Yu couldn't say a word, just stupid. She stared at Gu Yuqing stupidly, recalling in her mind the shyness that flashed in her eyes the moment he held her waist and supported her, which was lingering.

Xiao Yu was speechless, but Gu Yuqing looked around to make sure everything was safe, lowered her voice and said, "Brother Yan is fine, is Concubine Mei fine too?"

A moment ago, his heart was filled with the beauty of spring and lingering sadness. As soon as Gu Yuqing said these words, Xiao Yu's heart suddenly shivered and he said solemnly: "On that day, only the emperor brother was rescued. Concubine Mei died in the palace." The voice was a little sad.

"Are you sure that Concubine Mei is really dead?" The hand holding the silk handkerchief couldn't help but exert force, and the fingers couldn't stop shaking.

Previously, she had never doubted Xiao Yan's life or death, but now, she knew that Xiao Yan was alive and well, and was even secretly plotting to seize the throne.

What about Concubine Mei? Does it mean that Concubine Mei is really dead?

That family in Wangjiazhuang...

Xiao Yu couldn't help but frown, "Do you know something?"

Gu Yuqing told Xiao Yu about the incident in Wangjiazhuang in a concise and concise manner, "...I think that the head of that family has a lot of overlap with Concubine Mei. I haven't told you before because things have happened one after another recently. There is no room for distractions in this matter. I thought I would wait until the funeral is over and the Queen's matter is completely settled before I can talk to you in detail, but I didn't expect that you told me about Brother Yan last night."

There was another thing that Gu Yuqing didn't mention, and that was the divine jade secret.

Tianji will never give her any inexplicable and unprovoked tasks.

What's more, since the last mission was issued, Tianji has not shown up again. According to the past rules, the reason why Tianji has not shown up is because her mission has not been completed.

Tianji said, let her go to Wangjiazhuang to marry him a well-matched companion. If this was the only task, she had already retrieved the sacred jade from Tianji, so why has he been reluctant to come out and get married?
Whether it was the strangeness of that family in Wangjiazhuang or Tianji's reaction, Gu Yuqing felt that there must be something wrong with that family.

Following Gu Yuqing's words, Xiao Yu's eyes were filled with shock, and his expression became more solemn, "I have been in contact with the eldest brother of the emperor since he was secretly rescued. In these years, every time on the anniversary of Concubine Mei's death, he would pay homage to Concubine Mei. Bai even locked himself in the house without seeing anyone. Judging from his reaction, at least he believed that Concubine Mei was dead."

"I was still young and remember almost nothing about Concubine Mei back then. I only heard from my mother-in-law that Concubine Mei died miserably. She was wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave, complete with her tomb and coffin. None..." As he spoke, Xiao Yu's deep eyes flashed with luster, and he turned to face Gu Yuqing, "Even under the knife in the execution ground, the eldest brother of the emperor was able to survive with the help of noble people, Concubine Mei. Being thrown into a mass grave... it's not impossible to survive."

"You said that Brother Yan had the help of noble people to save him from the execution ground?"

Xiao Yu shook his head, "I don't know exactly how he was rescued. He took the initiative to contact me. By the time I got the letter and went to see him, it was already more than a year before he was supposed to be executed. I don’t know how I escaped back then or what happened during this year. What I know is what happened after that year.”

Gu Yuqing couldn't help but be curious. Who could this noble man be if he could rescue a serious criminal like Xiao Yan from the execution ground? His abilities were extraordinary.
Thoughts were rolling in my mind, but I had no clue.

Could it be that it is also a piece of sacred jade that has knowledge from ancient times to the present...

"I originally wanted to go and have a look at Wangjiazhuang, but I was afraid that if that person turned out to be Concubine Mei, she could easily escape death and now be able to live quietly and peacefully, but because of my unauthorized Her actions attracted the attention of others and brought murderous intent to her peaceful life. Therefore, she has never been there since that goodbye. She can only feel anxious and restless every day, hoping that the current things will end soon so that she can be together. You discuss it." Putting aside his curiosity, Gu Yuqing brought the topic back to Concubine Mei.

Xiao Yu nodded, "It's really not right for you to go again. The only people you can use are those in your mansion. Even if Zhou Bingde knows some disguise techniques, it's not very safe after all. And those who stare at me must also Keep an eye on the movements of the Marquis of Chinan in secret, if you send someone there again, if you are a little careless, you will expose her, as you said, if it is really Empress Mei, the consequences will be disastrous."

Gu Yuqing nodded.

Xiao Yu added: "After three days before the spiritual period, I can leave the palace. I will send someone to check it out. I will naturally know the results by then."

I thought Xiao Yu would know something... At the moment, this is all that can be done about Concubine Mei.

With a faint sigh, she put the matter aside. Gu Yuqing breathed a sigh of relief, changed the subject, and said, "Why isn't the princess here?"

Hearing Gu Yuqing mention Xiao Jingyu, a complicated smile appeared on Xiao Yu's face, "A while ago, she had a terrible nightmare. In her sleep, she accidentally pulled out the sharp knife she used for self-defense from under the pillow, and cut her own with it. The imperial doctor treated me several times on my face and used all kinds of ointments, but the scar never healed."

As he said that, Xiao Yu raised his hand to make gestures on his face, and there was a long line from the corner of his left eye to the right side of his chin, "It runs straight through like this. It's really hideous and terrifying. She felt that she couldn't see anyone, so she refused to come out no matter what."

Gu Yuqing listened and couldn't help but be surprised. The injuries on Xiao Jingyu's face looked so much like the generous gift she left for Gu Yuhe before she died in her previous life!

However, because of this scar, he would not even kneel before the coffin of his biological mother. This kind of character is too cold, heartless and selfish.
