Chapter 108
Jing Qingluan's eyes flickered, "What did you say? Min'er is dead?"

The young servant said anxiously: "Mrs. Chen, how dare you tell such a lie?"

Jing Qingluan opened the door and let him in, "I have no control over this kind of thing, I'll take you to the old lady, she has her own idea of ​​what to do."

After finishing speaking, Jing Qingluan quickly brought the boy to the old lady.

After explaining the situation, Mrs. Chen jumped up anxiously, pointed at the young servant and cursed, "How can you make such a joke?"

The servant was helpless, "Old Mrs. Chen, if the Liu family hadn't let the word go, wouldn't the little one dare to come to your house to play a joke when he was full?"

Mrs. Chen had finally accepted the fact that Chen Yuan's legs were disabled, and now there was another bolt from the blue—the daughter had only one breath left.

Chen Yuan's family has been passed down for several generations, and when Chen Yuan's father came here, even the concubine passed away early, and only Mrs. Chen was left to raise the two children, one was the eldest son Chen Yuan, and the other was the eldest daughter Chen Min .

Mrs. Chen's hope in this life is pinned on her two children. She originally thought that her son could rely on her daughter in case of disaster, but now she would not even have her daughter alive.

To Mrs. Chen, this was like the whole sky falling down, and one can imagine the heavy blow.

Even Jing Qingluan was a little surprised that a person who only heard of a miscarriage half a month ago had only one breath left today.

Even though Jing Qingluan didn't like this sister-in-law, everyone was afraid in the face of death, so at this moment, Jing Qingluan still sympathized with that woman from the bottom of her heart.

After only a moment of astonishment, Mrs. Chen's crying from the explosion of the pot came overwhelmingly, and the young servant who reported the news was at a loss for what to do.

Jing Qingluan said to him: "You go back first, the old lady and I will go to Liu's mansion to visit."

The little servant secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and walked out of the gate.

After the boy left, Jing Qingluan sat on the kang, and did not persuade Mrs. Chen who was crying so much that she almost fainted.

The Chen Family Courtyard is small, unlike the seven-entry courtyard like the Right Prime Minister’s Mansion, which is luxurious and luxurious. It is simply divided into the East House and the West House.

Jing Qingluan and Chen Yuan lived on the other side of the east room, and Mrs. Chen lived on the other side of the west room.

Therefore, if Mrs. Chen was crying on the west side of the room, her voice would immediately reach Chen Yuan's ears in the east room.

Chen Yuan didn't understand, so he just assumed that something happened, and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, but he couldn't get out of bed, and there was no messenger in the room, so he could only be in a hurry.

Mrs. Chen cried for a long time before looking at Jing Qingluan, "Go to Yuan'er and report a letter, saying that our mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have to go to Liu's mansion to visit my poor daughter."

Now that things were like this, Jing Qingluan couldn't bear to fight against Mrs. Chen anymore, so he stood up obediently and went to the east room, and told Chen Min's situation in detail.

Chen Yuan was so startled that he nearly rolled off the bed.

Jing Qingluan went to the kitchen and filled a large pot of boiling water and put it on the small bedside table, and put a few sesame seed cakes that were just baked in the morning, and told him, "If you get hungry later, eat some biscuits first." Fill your hunger, we are not yet sure whether we will come back tonight, so don't look forward to it."

Chen Yuan took a deep look at her and nodded.

After Jing Qingluan prepared everything, he helped Mrs. Chen to a carriage and rented a carriage and hurried to Liu's residence.

When the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law arrived, it was nearly dusk, and the Liu residence had already set up a mourning hall and hung white silk.

Looking at the plain sight, Mrs. Chen couldn't bear it, she closed her eyes and fell back.

The Liu residence received the news, and Mrs. Liu quickly arranged for a maid to carry Mrs. Chen to the guest room to rest. Perhaps she was restless in her dream, and Mrs. Chen soon woke up angrily. Seeing her mother-in-law, Mrs. Liu, she was trembling with anger, and pointed at her angrily, "What do you mean! What do you mean? Didn't you say that you are still alive? Why are you so anxious to prepare for the funeral?"

Mrs. Liu's eyes were contemptuous, even with a bit of disgust, and she said in a toneless manner: "Yes, the whole family is waiting for her to swallow that breath quickly and enter the coffin. Such a disgraceful way of death, I am so old. It's the first time I've seen her in my whole life, my mother-in-law really raised a good daughter."

Mrs. Chen threw off the quilt and got out of bed, her legs were shaking because she was too angry.

Jing Qingluan quickly helped him up.

After Mrs. Chen stood firm, she let out a harsh "Pooh", "Take me to see Min'er."

Mrs. Liu gave her a wink, and immediately a big servant girl stepped forward to lead the way.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came to Chen Min's residence with the maidservant of Liu's residence. There was no maidservant inside, and the ever-burning lamp was even lit by the bedside to illuminate the way of the dead.

When Mrs. Chen saw this, she immediately howled. This time she couldn't even stand still, and she went limp before reaching the bed. She looked up at Chen who was on the bed with sunken eyes, a gray face and motionless eyeballs. sensitive.

After Chen Min got married, she would also go to the Chen Mansion with her husband to celebrate New Year's Eve. Jing Qingluan had to meet several times. Chen Min always dressed up in jewels, lest others would not know that she married a rich man.

However, compared with the previous Shui Ling, her appearance at this time is completely different. This mummy-like appearance is more terrifying than death.

Not to mention Mrs. Chen, even Jing Qingluan was frightened. She held her breath, and it took a long time for her to recover slowly. She bent down to help Mrs. Chen. Mrs. Chen finally moved to Chen Min's bed, But he couldn't say a word, he just opened his mouth and cried.

Jing Qingluan frowned, suppressed the fear in his heart and approached the bed, and whispered to Chen Min who was already dead or alive on the bed.

"Sister-in-law, do you have anything else to say?"

Jing Qingluan asked again, but Chen Min was still the same, staring blankly at the roof of the tent, unable to even turn.

Jing Qingluan's back felt cold, and he dared to ask again.

Chen Mincai slowly moved her eyes, opened and closed her mouth, and couldn't hear what she was saying at all.

Jing Qingluan looked helplessly at Mrs. Chen, who was out of breath from crying, and put her ears to it. This time, she could barely hear Chen Min explaining the funeral, which mentioned "Second Niang, Third Mother" such words.

It took Jing Qingluan a lot of effort to understand Chen Min's last words thoroughly.

What Chen Min meant was that after she died, let Jing Qingluan help her take care of Er Niang and San Niang.

The ancestors of the Liu family belonged to Baoning Prefecture, and the custom there is to call the lady of the housekeeper a "lady".

The "Second Niang" and "Third Niang" in Chen Min's mouth are twins born in her second child.

Jing Qingluan was very puzzled, even if Chen Min took her last breath, there were so many people in her husband's family, how could it be the turn of Jing Qingluan, a sister-in-law, to help her take care of the orphan?

"Sister-in-law, hurry up, promise me quickly, no, no time, time..." Before Chen Min finished speaking, his last breath was exhausted, and his withered hands dropped.

The long light on the bedside flickered a few times.

Jing Qingluan suddenly realized that Chen Min had gone.

Mrs. Chen couldn't bear it again and passed out.

After Jing Qingluan managed to hire a few maids to help settle Mrs. Chen, she inquired about the ins and outs of the whole incident in private.

After Chen Min married into Liu's family, the uncle of Liu's family treated her well, and there was no second love for her. Chen Min gave birth to a daughter in the first birth, and Mrs. Liu did not say anything, hoping that the second birth would have a grandson, but she had no choice Chen Min's second child came directly to the pair of twin daughters. Mrs. Liu was naturally displeased, and the uncle of the Liu family gradually became indifferent to Chen Min. He followed Mrs. Liu's arrangement and took a few concubines, and stayed at the concubine's place every night. Looking forward to my concubine giving birth to a concubine.

Chen Min was anxious and aggrieved, and finally hoped that Uncle Liu would stay overnight in her courtyard, and also hoped that the third child would come. Chen Min didn't dare to say anything this time, so she went to invite the most famous doctor in the neighborhood to see it. The doctor diagnosed the baby as a daughter.

Chen Min was completely desperate. She knew that if this child was born again, the day when she would be kicked out would not be far away, so she bought abortion pills in private to have this child.

That is to say, half a month later, when Qingluan came to the Liu Mansion after being kicked out by Chen Yuan, the concierge told her that the young lady had a miscarriage and she could not protect herself. In fact, it was Chen Min who bought the abortion medicine himself, but because he couldn't bear the severe pain, he almost had a baby. Life.

After Mrs. Liu found out, she was very angry, and the uncle of the Liu family hated Chen Min completely.

Chen Min felt a great crisis. She knew very well that only by giving birth to a son could she gain a firm foothold in the Liu residence.

So in order to conceive another child as soon as possible, within ten days after the miscarriage, Chen Min secretly bought Hehuansan and let the uncle of the Liu family fall into the trap. He began to bleed profusely on the second day in the private room. After that, he became ill and was exhausted in just a few days.

The Liu family planned to move back to their ancestral home of Baoning Mansion after the Spring Festival, but for Chen Min's children, they only wanted the eldest daughter, and let Chen Min handle the other two.

These words were said by Jing Qingluan out of the mouth of Chen Min's personal servant girl, which made her hair stand on end.

Chen Min dared to have intercourse with his son-in-law even though his body was still not clean because of the medical abortion, and even used He Huan San for his son-in-law!

Jing Qingluan lamented, her sister-in-law was too stupid to live a good life, but she wanted to find such an extreme method, and in the end she even lost her life.

Although his death was disgraceful, the courtesy of my aunt's family was fulfilled, and Chen Min's funeral was handled in a decent manner. Knowing that Mrs. Chen would not see Chen Min's coffin, Jing Qingluan did not dare to stay any longer After expressing condolences, he hurried back to Chen's house with Erniang Sanniang and Mrs. Chen.

*
After Jing Yuhuan obtained Jing Se's magic method, he tried his best to go to the Imperial Prison to see Gu Gan once.

Gu Qian didn't expect that the right minister was reliable at the critical moment, and being moved in his heart, he asked him: "Is there any way for the right minister to keep my position in the palace?"

Jing Yuhuan frowned slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Your Highness, the old minister has a way, but I don't know if you are willing or not."

Gu Gan's dark eyes rarely showed light, "Tell me first, what can you do?"

Jing Yuhuan imitated Jing Se's appearance and said, "It's a crime."

Gu Gan squinted his eyes, "Forming a party for personal gain, selling royal horses privately, deceiving the emperor, these three, no matter which one is a felony, what kind of work can be done to get rid of these crimes?"

"Military achievements!" Jing Yuhuan said firmly.

Gu Ganxiu narrowed his eyes again, "Your Prime Minister, you want me to lead the army?"

Jing Yuhuan nodded, "Your Highness is not proficient in martial arts, so you can secretly invite counselors and military advisers at that time. If you want to make a contribution in Mobei, it will not be difficult with your Highness's wisdom."

Gu Qian was lost in thought.

Jing Yuhuan's brows and eyes showed a bit of anxiety. He couldn't figure out Gu Gan's mind at all. He was afraid that if Gu Gan disagreed, the crown prince would eventually be abolished. At that time, would he be able to be the high-ranking right minister? But it's hard to say.

"Your Prime Minister, tell me the truth, did you come up with this idea yourself?" Gu Gan raised his head suddenly, asking inexplicably.

Prime Minister on the right was taken aback, and immediately nodded solemnly, "It is indeed the old minister who came up with it himself."

Suspicion flickered in Gu Gan's eyes.

He vaguely felt that this idea had something to do with that woman Jingse.

During the few days when Gu Qian was imprisoned in the imperial prison, the guards did not dare to do anything to him. Therefore, Gu Gan had more free time to be in a daze without having to deal with government affairs.

However, what troubles him is that every time he closes his eyes, Jingse's cold and indifferent face will appear in his mind.

Although all he could think of were the bad memories of her unreasonable and unreasonable confrontation with him, but he couldn't help thinking that the more indifferent and distant she was to him, the more he would arouse his desire to conquer.

Raising his head again, Gu Gan's face was firmer than ever before, "Whether it's something you came up with or it's related to that person, I accept this condition. Do it for me."

Jing Yuhuan hurriedly bowed, "Please speak, Your Highness."

Gu Qian took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Before I return from a big victory, can you not let Miss Jing marry Prince Brahma?"

Jing Yuhuan was stunned, "Why did Your Highness say that?"

Gu Gan's brows became colder, "You just agree, why ask so many questions?"

Jing Yuhuan thought for a while, Jing Se would definitely not be able to marry Brahman in the short term, so he nodded and said: "Don't worry, Your Highness, until you return, Jing Se will never marry Brahma."

A sneer curled up on the corner of Gu Gan's lips, he couldn't believe that he couldn't conquer that woman!When he came back from a big victory, he wanted to ask her to marry her as the crown prince. He wanted to see if this woman had an unknown little girl side besides being cold-hearted and heartless.

*
With Gu Qian's consent, Jing Yuhuan put forward a proposal to let the fourth prince take the crime and make meritorious deeds to go to Mobei when he went to court the next day.

Half of the princelings in the DPRK and China stood up and seconded the proposal.

This "prince was abolished" incident happened so suddenly that most of the courtiers hadn't reacted yet, so it was naturally unacceptable.

Therefore, in the past two days, there have been ministers admonishing to take back the order to abolish the crown prince, and the queen mother and empress would also go to Qianqing Palace to persuade them from time to time.

Emperor Taihe had a lot of headaches because of this, and today he suddenly heard the right minister propose a way to make the prince guilty and meritorious. The Tatars who broke through and invaded the border made outstanding military exploits, which is a face for the royal family.Then, let him atone for his crimes, and at that time, he will be able to convince everyone.But if you lose...

Thinking of this, Emperor Taihe narrowed his eyes slightly. The prince was a crippled man with disabled legs more than ten years ago, and now he suddenly leads troops to go out. It's better than being criticized by the world with a whole body of crimes.

But after a while, Emperor Taihe already had an idea in his heart, but his face remained calm. He glanced at the ministers and saw that half of the ministers stood up and seconded the right chancellor, then looked at the faction that did not second, and asked: "Three What does the prince think of the right minister's proposal?"

Gu Beiyu came out and said: "Father, the ministers think that since the crime of the crown prince can be punished and meritorious, then the crimes of the deputy governor and the family should also be dealt with leniently in order to convince the public."

The Prime Minister on the right frowned, and said: "The old minister does not agree with the statement of the third highness. Although the crown prince and the deputy capital envoy are both guilty, they count for one yard. The crown prince is about to lead troops to fight for the country. Even if a big mistake has already been made, it will be hard to recover if it is overwhelmed, how can it be compared with the prince?"

Gu Beiyu sneered. In the final analysis, my uncle was determined to help the prince. Turning his eyes to Emperor Taihe, Gu Beiyu said: "The crimes committed by the prince include the crime of 'forming a party for personal gain', and this so-called The 'Party' is the Deputy Capital Envoy, so if the Crown Prince has a chance to redeem his crimes, why can't the Deputy Capital Envoy?"

Emperor Taihe pondered for a while.

Jing Yuhuan was naturally not reconciled to being pardoned just like that, and he opened his mouth, ready to say something else.

Gu Beiyu spoke before him, and said to Emperor Taihe again: "Father, my son has a suggestion."

"Any suggestion?"

"My son thinks that the crime committed by the vice-capital censor is not enough to punish the entire family in exile. If we strictly follow the laws of the Western Qin Dynasty, at most it will be demoted. Therefore, the son suggested that Zuodu censor be demoted One of the thirteen ways to supervise the censor."

The ministers of the third prince's faction immediately stood up and seconded the proposal.

Emperor Taihe was in a tangle.

Whether it is the abolition of the prince or the exile of the Zhao family, they have already released their words. Although they have not had time to issue the imperial edict, the emperor has won the nine tripods with one word, and now he has withdrawn the order to abolish the prince. It must be difficult to convince the public.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Emperor Taihe stroked his beard, and said: "Since most of the courtiers agree to the proposal of letting the prince take the blame and meritorious deeds, then the proposal of the third prince should also be passed to silence the crowd."

When Jing Yuhuan heard the words, he knew that this time he would not be able to completely defeat the Deputy Imperial Envoy, and he was quite regretful.

Emperor Taihe's voice sounded again, "Then, according to the words of the third prince, we will accept the exile of the Zhao family and change it to demote the deputy capital imperial envoy to be the supervisory censor of Jiangxi Province, and he will take up the post in the next year."

After the court was over, Gu Beiyu took a step ahead and waited outside. When he saw Jing Yuhuan coming out, he walked over slowly and called out respectfully, "Uncle."

Although Jing Yuhuan was dissatisfied with the third prince in his heart, the courtesy of a monarch and his ministers cannot be surpassed. He stood still and bowed to the situation, "What is the third highness looking for the old minister?"

Gu Beiyu smiled slightly, "In private, uncle doesn't have to look so unfamiliar. After all, public is public and private is private. If public and private are confused, then our blood relationship will become a show?"

Jing Yuhuan smiled faintly, "The Third Highness is right."

Gu Beiyu smiled again and asked him, "How is Cousin Jingse doing?"

Jing Yuhuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what had happened recently, it was enough for a Brahma prince to care about Jing Se, even the crown prince and third prince.

Of course Jing Yuhuan understands that his daughter is a rare treasure, but it is not a good thing that so many people covet her.

Curving the corners of his lips, Jing Yuhuan said, "I thought His Highness would ask your cousin Wan Bai first."

Gu Beiyu raised his eyebrows, "Cousin Wanbai has the Crown Prince's care. If I cared about her, wouldn't the Crown Prince misunderstand her? On the contrary, Cousin Jingse, her birth mother is not here, and it is very difficult to live alone in the Right Prime Minister's Mansion. As a cousin, I naturally have to care about her first, after all, Cousin Jingse is your uncle's eldest daughter, what do you think?"

Jing Yuhuan choked.

Gu Beiyu followed closely: "Uncle doesn't seem to have answered my question yet."

Jing Yuhuan came back to his senses, and said with a smile, "Arthur has been fine these days."

Gu Beiyu's eyes flickered slightly, "I heard that on the day Brahma's son recovered, he personally visited uncle and discussed the date of marriage with you, is that true?"

Jing Yuhuan hurriedly waved his hand to deny, "Third Highness, don't listen to the rumors outside, this is absolutely nothing, it is true that the son of Brahma has recovered most of the time, but he and Arthur have only spent a short time together, and the two seldom interact with each other. How could Prince Brahma bring up the marriage contract as soon as he recovers?"

After Gu Beiyu heard this, his tense heartstrings suddenly relaxed, and he looked at Jing Yuhuan with burning eyes, "It just so happens that I have time today, so I might as well follow my uncle to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion, I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time. "

Jing Yuhuan naturally couldn't evade, he said: "Since His Highness the Third Highness is going, please allow me to go ahead and arrange someone to welcome you."

"Uncle, don't bother." Gu Beiyu hurriedly said: "It's all from my own family, and I don't care about those etiquettes. Why bother to stir up trouble every time? Uncle doesn't need to inform the people in the house. I just arrange the carriage to go there with you." .”

After Gu Beiyu said that, Jing Yuhuan didn't want to say anything more, and the two left the palace quickly, got into the carriage and went straight to the Right Prime Minister's Mansion.

Jing Se had already completed the task ordered by Fan Chen, packed a hundred pieces of paper into a small box and was about to take Yingluo to the Chu Palace, but she heard that the third prince had arrived.

Jing Se hurriedly hid the small box and went out to meet her.

Seeing Jing Se, Gu Beiyu's eyes softened unconsciously, and she took a few steps forward, "Cousin, how are you lately?"

Jing Se nodded very politely, "I'm fine, and His Highness Lao San is worried."

Gu Beiyu looked around the crowd, and said to Jing Yuhuan: "I have something to say to my cousin alone, and I will go see my grandmother later."

Jing Yuhuan responded, and quickly ordered the kitchen to prepare lunch.

"Cousin, how about we go sit in the water pavilion over there?" Gu Beiyu issued an invitation.

Jing Se was a little embarrassed, "Third Highness, I have something to do later, I'm afraid I don't have so much time to chat with you, if you have anything, just talk about it here."

Gu Beiyu didn't ask her what she was going to do, but said with a little disappointment: "It's been a long time since we got together in the teahouse last time, and I haven't waited for my cousin's name card to drink tea together, has my cousin forgotten our agreement long ago? "

"Of course not." Jing Se smiled, "I've always remembered what His Royal Highness said, but the right-hand mansion's family rules are strict, and I can only leave the mansion for an hour or two when I go to see the doctor of Prince Fan. Normally, I can't get out of the gate at all, let alone find you."

Gu Beiyu understood, and his tone was softer, "It's okay, since it's inconvenient for my cousin to go out, then I'll just come to Youxiang's mansion more often in the future, if you like, I can let that tea lady come to the mansion to cook tea for you. "

"There's no need for the tea lady." Jing Se declined, and she also knows how to order tea. If you really want to drink, you can do it yourself. The most important thing is that Jing Se doesn't want to be special by herself. Gu Beiyu treats her well It was out of his own kindness, but she couldn't stand this kind of "goodness", fearing that others would misunderstand it.After thinking about it, Jing Se went on to say: "After all, this is the ancestral home of His Highness the Third Highness. It would be great for you to come and walk around more often. The old lady always misses you!"

Hearing what Jing Se said, Gu Beiyu smiled, "Then it's settled, if I come in the future, my cousin can't avoid it."

"How is it possible?" Jing Se said, "If I avoid you because of the relationship between you and me, wouldn't I treat you as an outsider?"

Gu Beiyu smiled happily, "My cousin just said that I have something to do, so go ahead, I won't delay you."

"Okay." Jing Se nodded, and went back to Muyunju, took a small box and took Yingluo out from the west corner gate.

The master and servant quickly got into the carriage and headed towards Chu Palace.

Gu Beiyu was still standing in the waterside pavilion, when he suddenly remembered that Qin Se said that she would not be able to leave the gate of the Right Prime Minister's Mansion unless she was seeing a doctor for Prince Brahma.

Frowning slightly, Gu Beiyu stepped up and asked the young servant waiting outside to lead the way to the Millennium Hall to meet Mrs. Jing.

Mrs. Jing saw that he came here rarely, and wanted to keep him for dinner, but Gu Beiyu said that she had something to do and would come back another day.

Mrs. Jing couldn't do much to persuade her to stay, so she asked Madam Xie to personally send Gu Beiyu out of the gate.

After getting into the carriage, Gu Beiyu told the guards driving the carriage, "Go to Chu Palace."

The guard is Gu Beiyu's usual little follower, and he has always understood his master's temperament. At this time, he heard that His Highness is going to the Chu Palace, and the guard was a little surprised, "Why does Your Highness suddenly want to go to the Chu Palace?"

Gu Beiyu said: "Prince Brahma has recovered for quite some time, I haven't had time to visit him yet."

At the end, he ordered, "When you reach the street market in a while, you stop the carriage. Since you are going to visit Brahma, I can't go there empty-handed. I have to buy the gifts that should be bought."

The guard nodded, "I obey."

*
Jing Se's carriage came to a sudden stop in the middle of the journey, and the coachman apologized, "Miss, the carriage broke down suddenly."

Jing Se frowned, "How could it be broken at such a critical time?" It's not early today, if you go late, you will have to wait until dusk or even night to return to Youxiang Mansion, how can this work?
Walking down with the small box in her arms, Jing Se told the coachman, "Old man, you can find a way to have the carriage repaired by yourself. I will take Yingluo to the nearby carriage and horse shop to rent a carriage and go to Chu Palace." After finishing, Jingse took out some broken silver for him.

Jing Se usually treated his servants well, but the coachman blushed with shame and apologized several times.

Jing Se didn't have time to delay, so she took Yingluo to find a car and horse dealer after explaining a few words casually.

At this time, a gorgeous carriage suddenly passed in front, which looked very familiar.

Jing Se only thought for a moment before realizing that when he left the Right Prime Minister's Mansion just now, he saw Gu Beiyu's carriage parked outside the gate.

Gu Beiyu actually came over?

Jing Se stopped suddenly.

Seeing Jing Se standing on the road, Gu Beiyu's guards stopped the carriage.

Gu Beiyu didn't know why, so he lifted the curtain and saw Jing Se. He was surprised, and then smiled slightly, "Cousin, didn't you go to Chu Palace? Why are you here?"

Jing Se said truthfully: "My carriage broke down halfway, and I'm about to go to the carriage and horse dealer to rent one."

Gu Beiyu said: "Since you met me by such a coincidence, what else do you need to rent? Don't bother. I just want to go to the Chu Palace to visit Prince Brahma, who has just recovered from a serious illness. If my cousin doesn't mind, then get in my carriage and come with me. Together, how about it?"

Jingse hesitated.

Yingluo whispered: "Miss Biao, it will take a long time for us to find a carriage and horses at our current location, why don't you go with His Highness the Third Highness, and the servants will go back and help the coachman look after the carriage so that he can find someone to come." Help, I will pick you up later."

Jing Se pondered and said: "Okay, you go and help a group of coachmen, and I will be with His Highness the Third Highness."

Yingluo nodded, and helped Jing Se get into Gu Beiyu's carriage.

After Jing Se sat in, Gu Beiyu saw that she was holding a small box in her arms, which didn't look like a doctor's medicine box. He asked curiously, "What's in it, cousin?"

"No, it's nothing." Jing Se lowered her head, pretending to be calm, "It's just a special medicine for Brahma."

Gu Beiyu never doubted Jing Se's words, so he didn't doubt him either. From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of her fair face unknowingly stained with a blush, like a scarlet sunset glow layer upon layer, teaching him for a while. I was taken aback.

"Cousin." Gu Beiyu called softly.

Jing Se raised her head in confusion, and met his gentle gaze, "What's wrong?"

Gu Beiyu's eyes dodged slightly, and it took a long time to muster up the courage to ask her, "You, have you and Brahma's marriage been fixed?"

"No." The crimson color on Jingse's face receded in an instant, and her watery eyes became serious, "The Third Highness knows, how can I marry Fan Shizi without telling the truth about my situation?"

Gu Beiyu's heart skipped a beat, "But my cousin has been engaged to Prince Fan since she was born."

"I know." Jing Se sighed, "That's why I procrastinated in front of Princess Chu and prepared to wait for an opportunity to divorce the engagement."

Gu Beiyu couldn't believe it, "Cousin wants to divorce?"

"Yes." Jing Se glanced at him, "The Third Highness met me in Huaqiao Town back then, so he must know what's going on. I have a child, so I can't fulfill this marriage contract."

Gu Beiyu had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't mind that Jing Se had a five-year-old son, he just didn't want to see her feel sad because of this moment.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Beiyu suddenly said, "Cousin, if you want, I can find a way for you."

Jing se looked up at him.

Gu Beiyu did not dodge, looked at her, nodded solemnly and earnestly, "As long as you trust me, no matter how difficult it is, I will help you."

Jing Se thought that being bound by her current status as the daughter of the Xiangfu, it would be extremely difficult to find an opportunity to resign. With Gu Beiyu's help, it might be much easier.

Thinking of this, Jing Se nodded, "Okay."

Gu Beiyu's soft eyes suddenly burst into joy, "Cousin really wants to trust me?"

Jing Se smiled, "We are a family, if I don't believe you, who else can you believe?"

Hearing the words "family" again, Gu Beiyu frowned slightly, and then he said to Jing Se in a negotiating tone: "Cousin, can you do me a favor?"

"You said."

"From now on, when we meet in private, can you stop calling me 'Third Highness'? Call me 'Bei Yu', okay?"

Jing Se quickly shook her head, "This is not acceptable, you are the prince, I am the courtier's daughter, the etiquette of the monarch and ministers cannot be surpassed."

Gu Beiyu looked sad, "You call me 'Your Highness', I always feel that our relationship is as far away as a thousand miles away."

"Will you?" Jing Se smiled helplessly, "Even if I call you 'Your Highness', you will always be my cousin! How can the family relationship of blood and blood be gone if it is gone?"

Gu Beiyu pursed his lips and stopped talking.

Jing Se really didn't understand why Gu Beiyu cared about a title, but seeing his dejected look at this moment, she felt a little embarrassed, and said softly, "Since you like it, I'll call you 'Beiyu' from now on." .”

Gu Beiyu's slumped complexion gradually recovered, and with a smile on his lips, he replied, "Okay."

When the two arrived at the Prince Chu's mansion, it happened that Fan Shen was outside the gate, as if he was about to go out.

Gu Beiyu lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage first.

Fan Chen's eyes moved slightly, and he looked down, "What wind brought His Highness the Third Prince to Chu Palace?"

Gu Beiyu said softly, "I came with my cousin."

Hearing the word "cousin", Fan Shen's deep and deep phoenix eyes suddenly narrowed, and his gaze was fixed on the carriage with the brocade curtain tightly closed.

Gu Beiyu didn't notice the change in Fan Chen's expression at all, he turned around and said to the inside: "Cousin, we're here."

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand to help Jingse down himself.

Jing Se hugged the small box with one hand, and lifted the curtain with the other hand. She saw Gu Beiyu stretching out her hand to herself, and saw Fan Chen standing outside the gate of Chu Palace with his hands behind his back, looking at her with a gloomy expression on his face. .

Jing Se coughed twice, and said to Gu Beiyu, "I can do it myself."

"We have such a relationship, why are you being polite to me?" Gu Beiyu said, and walked down with Jing Se.

Fan Chen's beautiful phoenix eyes were already full of black mist, he lightly pursed his bright red thin lips, without saying a word.

Jing Se felt uncomfortable all over, she could clearly feel that Fan Chen's gaze was as sharp as a falcon, sweeping back and forth over her body.

Tightening her arms, Jing Se hugged the small box firmly, forcing out a smile, "Third Highness, let's go in."

After Jing Se finished speaking, without waiting for Gu Beiyu's reaction, she strode forward and handed the small box in her arms to Fan Chen, "Master, this is what you explained a hundred times, and it's all done. I'm here for a follow-up visit, but I see that you seem to have something to go out, so I'll go back home and come back another day."

When Jing Se turned around, Fan Chen directly grabbed her wrist, causing her to turn around and meet his eyes.

Seeing this scene, Gu Beiyu, who followed behind, felt very uncomfortable.

As if deliberately trying to tell someone, Fan Chen raised his voice, "How do you know that I'm not waiting for you here on purpose?"

Jing Se blinked, Fan Chen would be so kind?Do you want to play?
Fan Chen raised his lips, "You and I have such a relationship, so why not wait for you a little longer?"

Jing Se froze, showing embarrassment on her face, until now she realized that Fan Chen was angry at what Gu Beiyu said to her earlier and helped her get off the carriage in front of him.

For some reason, Jing Se at this moment has the urge to explain.

Then she smiled secretly and shook her head, she must have lost her head, she only had a marriage contract with Fan Chen, and she didn't have any thoughts about him, wouldn't the explanation make it seem like there is no money here?
Jing Se was in a trance, and she didn't even realize that the small box in her arms was hugged by Fan Chen. When she felt that her arms were empty, she suddenly came back to her senses, and saw Fan Chen's slender fingers touching the flexible lock of the small box. go.

Jing Se was startled, "It's a public place, so why not open it here?"

Fanchen raised his eyebrows, "It's not something to be seen, why can't you open it?"

Jing Se gave him a dark look, thinking that this person did it on purpose, and he didn't know which nerve was wrong to sulk with Gu Beiyu today.

Seeing that Fan Chen was about to lift the top cover of the small box, Jing Se hurriedly reached out to stop it, and begged, "Can't you go in and then open it?"

Gu Beiyu's complexion was different, he walked over slowly, and asked in confusion: "Didn't my cousin say that there are medicinal materials for treating Fan Shizi in it? Why can't you open it?"

Fan Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Beiyu, "Did she tell you that this is the medicine for this son?"

Gu Beiyu nodded, "My cousin did say that in the carriage just now, what, isn't it?"

"Yes, yes, absolutely!" Jing Se couldn't help but nodded first.

Gu Beiyu looked at Fan Chen, and Fan Chen nodded with a smile, "Indeed, this is a good medicine for my son. I heard that this medicine can't be seen for a long time, otherwise it will lose its effect."

After finishing speaking, Fan Chen looked at Jing Se meaningfully, "Do you think so? Miss Jing, huh?"

"Yes." Jing se lowered her head guiltily.

Gu Beiyu wasn't discouraged when he couldn't see what was inside the box, and he returned to his gentle smile in a moment, "I heard that Brahma is well, but I haven't come to visit him yet. This time I just had the opportunity, so I came with my cousin. Master Brahma will never reject me, right?"

Fan Chen casually smiled, "Of course not." The topic changed, "But my fiancée is here, and I have to accompany her, but I don't have time to accompany you. Please do what you want later."

Gu Beiyu was startled, and looked at Jing Se.

Jing Se hurriedly explained, "Today's follow-up consultation requires acupuncture in addition to pulse detection, so it is inconvenient for others to disturb. Therefore, the third highness can go to the second master in a while, and he must be free."

Gu Beiyu muttered in a low voice, "My cousin clearly agreed to call me 'Beiyu' in private from now on, but she forgot so quickly."

Fan Chen's face darkened slightly.

Jing Se looked embarrassed, she helped her forehead, and couldn't say anything more to Gu Beiyu, so she had to shift her gaze to Fan Chen and urged him, "Master, since you want to go back to the doctor, then don't stand outside the door anymore." Now, hurry up and enter the mansion, I have to rush back in a while!"

"Hmm." It was rare for Fan Chen to see Jing Se's eyebrows lowered, the corners of his tight lips slowly raised, but when he turned around, he deliberately pretended not to hold it firmly, letting the small box fall down.
