Chapter 209: I can’t keep her even after I try my best

Is it so complicated behind the marriage?

No wonder Gu Jingshan was very protective of the original owner in many matters.

I dare say the original owner is the emperor's man.

But, what's going on with Gu Mohan?
In an instant, Nan Wanyan's mind was spinning a thousand times, and he was beginning to panic, but his face remained calm, fearing that the emperor would see any flaws.

She was wondering what there was about Gu Mohan that deserved the emperor's attention, even to the point where he needed to be monitored.

Suddenly, she remembered what Xiangyu had talked about in the room that day——

Gu Mohan was proficient in both literary and military strategies. Five years ago, he campaigned on the frontiers and defeated thousands of troops in Pingyang in the north and thirteen bandit cities in the south. He regained the lost territory and won over a large number of people.

The young general was so outstanding that if Concubine Yi's health hadn't been deteriorating day by day, Gu Mohan would have stopped and focused on targeting the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his military achievements would have been prohibitive by now.

The emperor in front of him was in his prime, so he naturally didn't want to be replaced by his own child so early, so he betrothed her to Gu Mohan five years ago, thus becoming a pawn in his hands.

Although the original owner did not have this episode in his memory, he vaguely remembered that on the day of his wedding, Nan Qishan said something sincerely to the original owner, "Remember to be obedient and don't forget that person's will."

Gu Jingshan looked at Nan Wanyan in a daze, and scolded him with deep eyes, "Nan Wanyan?"

Nan Wanyan was jolted back to reality. When she raised her eyes again, she felt that Gu Jingshan in front of her was unfathomable.

She thought of a conservative answer, "Back to Father, there is no movement yet. King Yi has not done anything extraordinary, nor has he secretly interacted with anyone."

Gu Jingshan raised his eyes and glanced at Nan Wanyan coldly, "Really? Are you speaking for him?"

"How dare you, my minister? What King Yi wants to do most is to rescue Concubine Yi. He has not even been to the military camp in the past five years. It was just the last time that he asked his minister to rescue people."

The emperor's eyes flashed, "That's good."

He was finally satisfied, and the corner of his lips curved into a strange arc that looked like a smile but not a smile, making Nan Wanyan's hair stand on end.

She once again realized the horror of the royal people.

No matter how you say it, Gu Mohan is the emperor's biological son, but the emperor's heart is set in stone. Now, for the sake of the throne, he has disowned all his relatives and even has to be wary of his own children.

Nan Wanyan was secretly glad that she didn't tell the story of her daughters.

Thinking about it now, since Gu Jingshan is so afraid of Gu Mohan, once the background of her two little girls is exposed, Gu Mohan will naturally become the prince, and then Gu Mohan will not be the only one to die...

While Nan Wanyan was distracted, Gu Jingshan seemed to think of something else. He frowned at Nan Wanyan and asked in a calm voice, "Can Concubine Yi's illness be cured?"

Nan Wanyan was shocked, then bowed and said: "My son, I will definitely be able to save my mother and concubine."

Could it be that the emperor still had some sympathy for Concubine Yi?

No matter what, there shouldn't be any problem if you answer truthfully.

Gu Jingshan looked confused and then asked, "What about her symptoms of the living dead?"

Nan Wanyan was just about to answer, give her some time, and she could make Concubine Yi wake up.

But what Gu Jingshan said next made her feel cold all over——

"There's no need to treat her. Just hang her life like this. As long as she doesn't die, that's all."

Not saved? !

Nan Wanyan was instantly horrified.

This……

"What, you want to save Concubine Yi?" Gu Jingshan's words were threatening, and his eyes were fixed on Nan Wanyan, which sent shivers down her spine.Nan Wanyan couldn't figure out the emperor's intentions.

She just felt that this man was so good at pretending. Yesterday he was obviously very affectionate, but today, it was as if he had changed his face...

Nan Wan, with the smoke stuck in his throat, held back his heart-pounding horror and said, "My son, I understand."

Now that things have happened, Nan Wanyan also knows one thing——

Royal matters are not something someone like her can get involved in.

Otherwise, you don't know how to die.

She suddenly thought of something. She wondered if the emperor had done anything secretly when Concubine Yi had an accident more than ten years ago. If so, the truth would be too terrible.

After all, this matter involves the entire Prime Minister's Palace, and the Prime Minister was the person the Queen was trying to protect at the time...

Gu Jingshan was very satisfied with Nan Wanyan's performance.

What he needs is someone who obeys what he says, but if something changes one day, he will not hesitate to change it...

"After you go back, take good care of King Yi. If you find any trouble, come and report it to me."

"The God of War orders...don't move for now."

God of War Order?
what is that?
"Yes, I understand." Nan Wan Yanxing's eyes were heavy. Although he was suspicious, he still agreed.

Afterwards, she walked out of Qianxin Palace with a solemn mind. Along the way, she was absentmindedly thinking about the conversation Gu Jingshan had just had with her.

At the same time, in Fengluan Palace.

The Queen Mother held the tea in one hand and took a sip with half-closed eyes. She glanced at Gu Mohan with a glare in her eyes, and her tone was a bit resentful.

"Why didn't you tell the Ai family when you entered the palace yesterday? You had to wait for the palace people to tell the Ai family before the Ai family knew."

"It's only been a few days, but you've already forgotten about the grandmother of the Aijia family?"

The Queen Mother did not know the condition of her mother and concubine, so Gu Mohan stepped forward with a sincere attitude, took the tea cup from the Queen Mother's hand, and apologized.

"My father summoned me last night and said that matters at the Shence Camp needed to be discussed. My grandson entered the palace in a hurry and caught up with the princess, so he didn't bother the Queen Mother in the middle of the night."

"My grandson, remember, there will never be a next time."

The Queen Mother had actually heard about Concubine Yi's condition a long time ago, but she knew the emperor's reason for not telling her.

At this moment, she also pretended not to know anything, patted Gu Mohan's hand as if nothing had happened, and sighed softly.

"You are good at everything, but you are a bit clumsy and not good at communicating with others."

"Grandma knows in her heart that you are actually a very good child who always remembers the elders in the palace, but sometimes, the people around you are the ones who can accompany you the longest."

"If there are flowers, you must break them off. Don't wait until the flowers are gone. Don't wait until the person in front of you is gone before you suddenly realize your fault and regret it."

"Since Yan'er has also entered the palace, you should go back. If you have time another day, come with her to visit the Ai family."

"Yes, grandson, please leave." Gu Mohan frowned slightly, but without thinking much, he bowed and left.

He didn't particularly understand the Queen Mother's words of pity for the person in front of him.

It wasn't until not long after that that Gu Mohan felt regretful and suddenly remembered the Queen Mother's admonishment, but it was already too late.

At that time, he also understood that some people could not be retained no matter how hard they tried...
