Chapter 68 The Short-lived Ghost

After saying this, Zhao Yan's expression immediately changed, but no one else noticed it, and someone else said, "All those born from a family like the Gu family are despicable, and not a single one of them is a good one. Even a little concubine dares to do so." I don’t know how high or low it is to seduce the Sixth Prince.”

Another woman quickly pulled the woman who spoke and whispered, "Don't say these words. Princess Qi also entered the palace today. It is not good for her to hear these words. She is the legitimate daughter of the Gu family."

The woman said disapprovingly, "The legitimate daughter and the concubine are the same, so what if she becomes the Princess of Qi? A mute can't even show her face in the capital. Who can look down on her?"

"It's really funny to say that the concubine hooked up with the sixth prince, and the legitimate daughter hooked up with the wild man. I heard that Gu Hou was also turned into a eunuch by his own concubine. The Gu family is unique in the city of Kyoto, and its way of becoming famous is really new."

When she said this, some people laughed at her, some changed their faces, but no one agreed.

Because he had brought the Sixth Prince with him, Zhao Yan's expression was not very good. When he saw that this woman was still talking, his face darkened, "The Queen has invited us to the flower viewing banquet today, not just for idle chatter."

"I'm not just talking..."

"Yes, it's not idle talk, it's mean talk."

Someone said, "I remember that when King Qi discussed the marriage, your name Zheng Shuang'er was also among them, but I didn't expect that it was not you who became Princess Qi, but the legitimate daughter of the Gu family."

Being exposed, Zheng Shuang'er blushed instantly, "What are you talking nonsense about? It's a joke that I would fall in love with that short-lived ghost King Qi? He and the shameless guy from the Gu family are a match..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yan shouted sharply, "Bold, how dare you say that to His Highness King Qi?"

"What did I say? He is just a short-lived ghost."

After Zheng Shuang'er finished speaking, he saw that the faces of the ladies in front of him all changed, and they all looked behind him.

She had a premonition that something was bad, so she turned around slowly, and Gu Linqiao was standing behind her.

Her face changed drastically, and before she could open her mouth, Gu Linqiao raised his hand and slapped her in the face with a loud bang, which startled the women beside her.

Zheng Shuang'er was beaten and covered his face in surprise, "You...you dare to hit me? You know I..."

Before she could finish her words, Gu Linqiao fired her bow from left to right and slapped her hard several times.

Zheng Shuang'er's cheeks were swollen, and tears fell from her eyes. She said vaguely, "I...I'm going to tell the Queen..."

Gu Linqiao grabbed her shoulders, lifted her to the edge of the pond, and then kicked her down.

The women on the side were all dumbfounded. Zhao Yan was slightly calm, but her pale face betrayed her emotions.

Gu Linqiao turned his eyes and looked over. Everyone took a step back. Zhao Yan stood there with a little fear in his eyes and stammered, "Qi...Princess Qi, Miss Zheng...she doesn't know how to swim..."

Gu Linqiao smiled coldly and left directly.

So what if you don’t know how to use water?
Drown and pull down!
She wanted to see who dared to cause trouble for her!
In the palace, she openly cursed the prince as a short-lived ghost. This alone was enough for her to destroy the nine clans.

Zhao Yan asked someone to rescue the gullible Zheng Shuang'er, and then immediately returned to the queen's palace. Unexpectedly, Gu Linqiao actually left the palace directly.

Zhao Yan had a premonition that something was wrong, so he knelt in front of the queen and explained exactly what had just happened.

"Aunt, I didn't expect Princess Qi to be so courageous. She just wanted to kill Miss Zheng."

When the queen heard this, her mouth twitched. Gu Linqiao dared to beat her son in the street, so what does a noble girl mean?
Zhao Yan asked again, "Aunt, will Princess Qi make a fuss about this matter?"

The queen said, "She is very good at it. If she doesn't know it, Feng Yunsu can also do it."

"What should I do?"

Zhao Yan looked worried.

The queen was also a little embarrassed. She glanced at Zheng Shuang'er who was kneeling outside the door shivering in the cold with disgust. Originally, she wanted to give Zheng Shuang'er to Feng Yunsu as a concubine. She thought that Zheng Shuang'er was unwilling and would definitely cause trouble after entering the house. , Feng Yunsu's back house will definitely be restless by then.Who knew she was so stupid that she would openly curse the current King of Qi in the palace? She was really tired of living.

"What do you think?"

The queen turned her eyes and asked this question to Zhao Yan.

Zhao Yan's heart palpitated at the sight, feeling a little uneasy and a little happy.

She knew that the Queen was testing herself, and if she could handle it properly, her position would be secure.

Zhao Yan thought for a while and then said, "The girls from the Zheng family caused the disaster. Naturally, they should apologize. If your Majesty is at ease, I will personally go to Prince Qi's Mansion one day and apologize to the Princess in person."

"This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to interfere."

The queen smiled and said, "When a girl from the Zheng family gets into trouble, it's natural that the Zheng family should go to the trouble."

Zhao Yan was helped up by the queen and sat next to her.

Zheng Shuang'er was shivering from the cold outside the door. She didn't even change her clothes and was sent home directly by the queen's people.

After the Zheng family learned what Zheng Shuang'er had done, Master Zheng almost fainted from anger. Regardless of his wife's pleas, he beat Zheng Shuang'er until her skin and flesh were raw, and then tied her up and sent her to Prince Qi's Mansion to make amends.

Gu Linqiao didn't say anything when she returned to the palace. Feng Yunsu asked her to go to the dining stall and heard that someone from the Zheng family was here.

Oh, it’s still a bit slow!

Feng Yunsu glanced at her, saw her calm and composed expression, and said directly to the servant, "Just say that I am busy with official business and have no time."

After speaking, continue to eat.

The servant responded according to Feng Yunsu's words, and Master Zheng, who was already frowning, became even more ugly.

When he was anxious, he directly led Zheng Shuang'er to kneel in front of the palace gate and shouted to apologize. After a while, many people watched.

Gu Linqiao suddenly lost his appetite after listening to his servant's report, "Why do they like to blackmail others so much?"

Feng Yunsu said, "Because this is their only weight."

"Don't you ask me what happened in the palace today?"

Gu Linqiao looked at him and asked, "Or do you already know?"

"If they come to ask for forgiveness, they must have offended you. Do you still need to ask?"

Feng Yunsu's tone was indifferent, as if he didn't care about the process of what happened, as if he only cared about the result.

Gu Linqiao thought about it and felt that he was right, so he ignored it.

The two of them ignored Mr. Zheng outside the door. Mr. Zheng and Zheng Shuang'er knelt for an entire hour. Seeing that no one had shown up in the palace, they felt heartbroken. He straightened up and took Zheng Shuang'er to the stone lion in front of the palace. Bump away.

Master Zheng used such force that Zheng Shuang'er hit his head with blood and fainted on the spot.

The people exclaimed and started talking instantly.

Someone said, "Could it be that His Highness, Prince Qi, has incurred a romantic debt, and someone came to visit him, but he still dared not admit it, right?"

Someone else said, "No, look at how pitiful this woman is. She was probably abandoned. It's really heartbreaking for a good girl to be treated like this."
