The Regent's favorite concubine

Chapter 369 Do You Want The Emperor To Suspect Me?
Hearing the meaning of her words, Ji Chu subconsciously tightened the reins: "Miss Shen."

"Don't worry, I won't think too much, and I won't talk nonsense about what I shouldn't say. After all, what I think in my heart is just a guess. The inn ahead, please put me down."

"Master has an order, it's better for this subordinate to send Miss Shen back to the General's Mansion."

With that said, Ji Chu was going to drive the horse again.

Shen Yueji frowned: "The corner ahead is the General's Mansion. If I am in any danger, just shout a few times and the people in the General's Mansion can hear you. After all, you are the secret guard of the Prince Regent's Mansion, and you are often exposed in front of the Prince Regent. Yuzhong, besides, the emperor brought many people, do you want the emperor to doubt me?"

Hearing what she said, Ji Chu didn't dare to stand still anymore, and stopped the carriage at the door of the inn: "Miss Shen, please."

Getting off the carriage, Shen Yueji glanced at him indifferently, and nodded: "You go back."

"Yes."

After Ji Chu left, Shen Yueji didn't go back directly to the General's Mansion, but glanced at the inn in front of her, hesitated for a moment, and stepped in.

Because it was the middle of the night, and the sky was about to dawn, there were no guests. When she went in, she could only see candles flickering and blurred figures.

But the two familiar figures at the window seat caught her eyes first.

She found an inconspicuous place, and when the shop waiter greeted her, she put a piece of silver on the table and signaled him to keep silent.

The waiter in the shop happily took the silver and carefully returned it.

"Father, you have been here for a day, it's time to go back."

The handsome man in a white robe had no expression on his face, his dark eyes were locked on the drunk middle-aged man opposite him, his brows were tightly furrowed, and something flashed across his dark eyes quickly.

He reached out and snatched his wine jar: "Father is the first-rank prime minister of Feng Kingdom, if someone sees you like this, how can you be decent?"

"Prime Minister of the first rank? Heh——"

Gu Wei sneered self-deprecatingly: "Why don't I remember, I am still the first-rank prime minister of Feng Kingdom?"

He snatched the wine jar from Gu Mujue's hand: "If I don't go back, what am I going to do? Face your mother's face that you don't want to see? No matter what I do, I can't catch her eyes! No matter what I do What, I am the one who is selfish, I am the one who is cruel, I am everything!"

"Jue'er, tell me, why is your mother so ruthless? It's been more than 20 years. How can I give her what she wants in the past 20 years? Put it in front of her, and the result."

"I regard it as a treasure, a treasure that is priceless, let alone like it, even if she takes a look at it, she will feel humiliated."

"I am in a high position, a first-rank prime minister with Feng Guo's power all over the court, what do I want? Even the current emperor wants to sell me a little bit of face, which one of the officials inferior to me is not three wives and four concubines, what about me? I only guard her alone, even if she is old and young, I still don't take concubines!"

"She's good. She wished I could take a concubine. If I didn't want her, she would drug me and send those women naked to my bed!"

Gu Wei was really drunk. Before, he would never confide this in front of his son.

But this time, what he said was endless, as if pouring out all the grievances and unwillingness in his heart.

"In his eyes, after more than 20 years, I'm still not as good as a dead person. If it wasn't for her being unmarried and pregnant with Yueqin back then, it wouldn't be my turn to marry her."
