The concubine was reborn, and the cold prince was made red in the face

"No matter how bad I, Gu Zhiqing, am, am I still not as good as a barbarian? Would you rather leave your hometown and go so far away than marry me and be the wife of the heir apparent in the capital?" Gu Zhiqing's eyes were already big, but now they were full of anger, and his eyes seemed like It seemed like it was about to fall out.

Zuo Xiangning couldn't help but take a step back.

"Whatever Prince Ru can give you, I can do! What he can't give, I can also do!" Gu Zhiqing said: "As long as you marry me, I can assist the King of Chu to ascend the throne, and your sister can become the queen. Your nephew is the prince, what can Prince Ru do? He can't do anything! If he dies one day, for the sake of the stability of the two countries, you have to marry his brother, uncle, nephew, or even his son! Can you bear such humiliation?"

"I'm very curious, is there any way you can help King Chu? Could it be that you can still influence the emperor's decision?" Zuo Xiangning asked curiously: "Besides, the emperor is in good health now, and it is impossible for him to die in a short time. Pass the throne to any prince."

"The emperor is just at the end of his power now. He has been seriously ill for a long time. Now that the emperor has my people by his side, I can ask him to take action at any time and get the emperor's last edict." In order to make Zuo Xiang comply with his wishes, Gu Zhiqing did not hesitate to He kept increasing his chips, "I can also speak to Prince Xian's Mansion. I have already made arrangements for everywhere in the palace."

Zuo Xiangning looked at Gu Zhiqing's serious and sincere face, wondering how much of what he said was true.

Why does it seem like the entire palace is under his control when he says this?

"Don't think that I don't understand anything. The people around the emperor are all old people who have been with the emperor for many years. It is impossible for others to bribe them." Zuo Xiangning said with a disapproving smile.

"The Emperor has a new famous doctor by his side, have you heard? He is mine." Gu Zhiqing said: "He is the one the Emperor trusts the most now."

Zuo Xiangning clenched her palms into fists to prevent too much surprise from showing on her face.

When did Liu Qian become Gu Zhiqing's man again?

"Success is Xiao He, failure is Xiao He." Gu Zhiqing saw Zuo Xiangning's face change slightly, knowing that it was his news that made her scruple, so he smiled lightly and said: "One word from this famous doctor can easily... Determining the life and death of others.”

Zuo Xiangning pursed her lips and said with a half-smile: "I'm sorry, I don't want to get involved in these things. It's more appropriate to tell the King of Chu what you said."

After Zuo Xiangning finished speaking, she turned around and wanted to walk out.

As soon as her hand touched the door, Gu Zhiqing walked up to her in two steps and slapped the door leaf with a "bang" sound, startling Zuo Xiangning.

She thought Gu Zhiqing was going to beat her.

The fear buried in her heart suddenly spread out. She pulled out a hairpin from her head, held it in her hand, turned to look at Gu Zhiqing, and asked in a stern voice: "What do you want to do?"

Gu Zhiqing looked at the trembling hairpin in her hand and said in a deep voice: "As you said, forceful melons are not sweet. Since you don't want to marry me so much, I won't force you. Then I want to do it with you. It’s a business, I wonder if you are interested?”

"What business?" Zuo Xiangning moved to the side.

"The mountain that Ling Xiao exchanged with you has always been said to be yours. Now that he is dead, you set a price and write me a transfer contract." Gu Zhiqing said: "Even if you go to the north , you still need money."

"Is that why you insist on marrying me?" Zuo Xiangning couldn't hide her sarcasm, "I have already received the prince's money and written a land deed to him, so that mountain has nothing to do with me. ."

"I really like you." Gu Zhiqing sneered: "That mountain is now an ownerless mountain. I want to get it. I have countless ways to find you. I just want to save myself trouble. If you don't agree, ,forget about it."

Zuo Xiangning glanced at him, turned around, opened the door and walked out. Even without looking back, she could feel two burning eyes falling on her.

After Zuo Xiangning returned home, she asked Zhang Rui to come see her the next day.

"Do you know the people who work on the mountain where Prince Zhongyuan lives?" Zuo Xiangning asked.

"I know two of them." Zhang Rui said: "When we were building the bridge in the other courtyard, the prince brought two people over and introduced them to me. Later, when we were building the other courtyard, they also brought people over to help twice. "

"See if you can find them and ask them who is in charge of that mountain now. If you think they can speak over there, just tell them and tell them to be careful of Gu Zhiqing from the Princess's Mansion." Zuo Xiang Ning asked again: "You can try to find out where the prince is buried. I want to see him."

"I'll do it now." Zhang Rui hurriedly agreed and left.

After walking out of the yard, he sighed. He had always thought that Zuo Xiangning would marry into the Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion, and Zhang Rui could be proud of himself in the capital. But who would have thought that this sweet dream would come true before he could realize it? woke up.

That afternoon, Zhang Ruilai responded to Zuo Xiangning.

"That mountain is managed by a person named Hu. After the death of the prince, all affairs on the mountain have not changed. They did not tell the old slave about other things, and it was not easy for the old slave to ask. In addition, the prince of Zhongyuan Hou He is buried in the ancestral grave of Zhongyuan Marquis Mansion. If the girl wants to pay homage, they will help make arrangements."

"Tomorrow morning, you go with me." Zuo Xiangning said.

The next morning, Zuo Xiangning didn't put on any makeup and wore white clothes, with only two silver hairpins on her head.

Zhang Rui placed the bamboo basket containing the worship items next to the tombstone and quietly retreated into the distance.

Zuo Xiangning touched the word "Lingxiao" on the tombstone and burst into tears.

"I'm sorry, I just came to see you now... I wanted to come for a long time, but I didn't dare to come. I didn't want to let you stay here alone, but I couldn't take you away... I didn't even have time. Tell you how much I like you."

She took the handkerchief and wiped the tombstone carefully from top to bottom with tears in her eyes, "After I leave Beijing this time, I don't know when I will be able to see you again. You must be lonely staying here by yourself." ?I promise you that when I return to the capital, I will always be here to accompany you."

She took out the items of worship and placed them in front of the tombstone. She stayed in front of his grave with tears in her eyes until the afternoon. It was almost dark before she went back.

At the door of Zuofu, she met Zuo Zixi who had just returned to the house.

"Where did you go alone?" As soon as Zuo Zixi finished speaking, he saw Zuo Xiangning's eyes were red. He pulled her aside and asked worriedly: "What happened?"

Zuo Xiangning stayed in the mountain for a day, crying and blowing wind. Her head was a little confused, but her heart was also very soft. When Zuo Zixi asked, her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

"What's going on?" Zuo Zixi asked anxiously: "If you don't tell me, I'll have someone call the coachman!"

"Brother, I'm going to see Ling Xiao." Zuo Xiang looked at Zuo Zixi with tears in her eyelashes, and said aggrievedly: "I feel so sorry for him staying there all alone..."
