late night song

Chapter 67
After Qi Jie was deprived of military power, there were many secret soldiers watching outside his residence. Although he did not go to court, his whereabouts were unknown. It was not until the old king of Zhenxi came to live in Qidu to take care of his old age that he quietly returned Mansion.

The queen was also imprisoned in the palace for harming the emperor's heirs and murdering Emperor Ming. Ning Wang Qi Yijue was taken into custody but the charges have not been determined.

Rumors spread throughout the city of Qidu that Concubine Yi was framed and killed by the queen. However, the palace has not yet heard the news of re-examining the old case. The unjust case of the Yuchi family is still pending, and Gu Yuchu's doubts are growing.

"Sister, what are you thinking about?" In the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, Gu Yuxin handed her a bowl of sweet cheese, but she didn't respond for a long time.

"I'm thinking that after this incident, Prince Rong no longer has anything to rely on. Prince Ning is imprisoned and his future is ruined. The situation in the court has become clear. It seems that our prince's wish will be fulfilled soon."

Gu Yuchu had mixed feelings in his heart. In the past, he always thought that the old case of Concubine Yi and Yuchi's injustice would affect the whole body. Now that he thought about it, it was too true. Even if the two were inextricably linked, the saint in the imperial city Lord, there is also a way to make the parallel lotus flowers bloom in two different colors.

"Yes." Gu Yuxin was very happy, she narrowed her eyes and smiled as bright as the stars.

"Even in the government, you will not be allowed to discuss state affairs in such an arrogant manner. If someone with intentions hears it and harms the prince, let's see how you end up." Gun Nanxi appeared out of nowhere and heard that the two sisters had nothing to do with it. The taboo discussion made Li Chuzhi very angry.

"There are only three of us here. If anyone else hears it, someone must have done it intentionally." Gu Yuxin said back unwilling to be outdone.

"You! Don't think that just because the prince has given me the power to be the head of the family, you can ride on my head. You don't even think about how much you weigh or what your status is."

After entering the house, Gun Nanxi pretended to be virtuous in order to please Qi Jian, but her temper could not be tolerated for long, especially after Qi Jian handed over the power of the family to Gu Yuxin, she was even more unconvinced.

"Princess, please don't forget what you said yourself. This is a critical moment. Even if we are not at odds with each other, we must still be a rope. If others find the slightest loophole, even the noble Princess, you may not be able to live alone."

Gu Yuxin spoke plausibly and clearly predicted the situation, which made Gu Yuchu look at her with admiration. In comparison, it seemed that she couldn't hold herself back.

"Gu Yuchu, you have a good strategy. You do business with a sure profit and no loss. Even if you are not favored by the prince and have the respect of your sister, you can still barely save your princess's dignity. But you have to know that you can save it. You can’t protect yourself for a while.”

Princess Nanxi watched Gu Yuchu sit aside and refused to say a word. She only encouraged her sister to go back and forth with her, making her teeth itch with hatred.

"Princess, do you still remember that my sister is a princess? You, a concubine, are not polite when you see the mistress of the house, and you also make rude remarks. It seems that the noble family you claim to be has the same ignorance of rules as ordinary people."

Since Gu Yuxin gained the power to head the family, she has gained a lot of confidence. Coupled with Qi Zhen's favoritism, she is inevitably a little arrogant in her heart. But usually her grudge is nothing more than cynicism, but today Gu Nanxi is treating her sister like this. The blatant scolding made her very angry, so she hardened up.

"A princess who is not favored is at the end of her rope. Even if she is favored, she cannot bear my gift."

Gun Nanxi came from a prominent family and was a proud person. She felt aggrieved to be relegated to the side concubine. Moreover, she never liked the two sisters from the beginning. Not to mention their humble background, she always flattered the King of Qin.

"Who said that my princess is not favored?"

King Qin scolded and suddenly appeared behind them, which shocked both Gun Nanxi and Gu Yuxin. Only Gu Yuchu remained calm.

She had already seen Qi Jian walking towards the small pavilion in the middle of the lake, but she didn't say anything. Princess Nanxi was so arrogant and rude, so Qi Jian should step in and rub her spirit away.

"Brother Jian, you're back!" Gu Yuxin was ecstatic and stood up to greet him.

"My lord is well."

"Brother Qi Jian, what this fox is calling is really affectionate." Gun Nanxi reluctantly brushed his hand with Qi Jian, but in his heart he scolded Gu Yuxin a thousand times.When he saw King Qin, Gu Yuchu was still sitting where he was, neither getting up to salute nor saying hello.

"Aifei is angry?"

Qi Jie stared straight at Gu Yuchu, and when she didn't respond, he continued, "Is it because the concubine doesn't know the inferiority of others and embarrasses the beloved concubine?"

Qi Jian glanced at Gunan River as he spoke, and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"I didn't!" Gun Nanxi proudly raised his chin, clutched his silk ribbon tightly and said eloquently.

"Still quibbling?" Qi Jian deliberately made things difficult for Gun Nanxi, which made Gu Yuxin feel very relieved.

"Then how can we calm down my beloved concubine? How about asking the concubine to give you a big gift and apologize." Qi Jian said while winking at Gu Yuchu.

"You want me to apologize to her?"

Gun Nanxi was so angry that her veins popped out. She never expected that Gu Yuchu was no longer favored, but Qi Zhi would defend her so openly, even at the expense of humiliating herself. Especially in this situation, the King of Qin needed the help of his mother's family to seize the throne. Did he really not care about getting the throne? !

When things developed to this point, Gu Yuchu couldn't sit still any longer, so he tried to smooth things over: "Your Highness, I heard something wrong, but it's just a joke between the sisters, it's not worth mentioning."

"Is this really true?" Qi Jian smiled and stared at Gu Yuchu. Seeing that she didn't speak, he turned to look at Gun Nanxi. His eyes instantly became cold and sharp, making Gun Nanxi feel very flustered.

"Of course, Princess Nanxi, don't you think so?"

Gu Yuchu asked and kicked the spear away, but when Gun Nanxi saw that something was wrong, she would not be stupid enough to attack this problem head-on. If Qi Jie really forced her to apologize, she would be in trouble. In order to calm the matter, she had no choice but to nod against her will.

"In this case, I will not pursue the case, but you must remember that Gu Yuchu will always be the mistress of my Prince Qin's palace."

Qi Jian narrowed his eyes and deliberately reiterated Gu Yuchu's position in the palace, knocking Princess Nanxi.

Recently, there were changes in the court. Gun Nanxi was sure that he needed the support of the King of Nanchang, so he began to act arrogantly and domineeringly over the head of his beloved. He hated such a self-righteous woman.

Gu Yuchu never expected to defend herself in public like this. She felt embarrassed and helpless, but she was not happy at all.

The better the man in front of her treats her, the harder it is for her to let go.

She was aware of this man's ambition and was willing to go through fire and water for it, and she firmly believed that he could avenge the Yuchi clan's grievances. But at some point, she began to waver and doubt, feeling that she had been too naive in the past.

"It's nothing, please step aside. I still have something to say to the princess."

Qi Jian said while extending her right hand to Gu Yuchu. At this time, even if she was reluctant, she would not refute his face, especially when facing Gunan Xi, the more loving and happy the couple is, the better.

So, Gu Yuchu put his left hand up without hesitation.The two of them returned to Linyue Pavilion under the watch of Gun Nanxi and Gu Yuxin.
