The Regent's little feral cat bites again

Chapter 12
Xuan Yinruo also knew that Gu Chengyuan didn't look like he would be blinded by color, but when he thought of being used by Concubine Laoshizi Rou, he couldn't restrain his anger.

If she is an individual now, with her modern Sanda Jinhu rank, she has to throw Concubine Rou out directly.

Xuan Yinruo was depressed, and Gu Chengyuan's light eyes swept over, and she immediately faltered.

Well, live under the fence.

She endures!

"Xiao Ling, bring Xiaoqi back to listen to Yuxuan."

Gu Chengyuan spoke without any emotion, Xiao Ling paused, nodded in response, turned around and hugged Xuan Yinruo.

Ok?
It's all right if this man doesn't help her get justice, but also send her away to be alone with this woman?
What do you mean?
Is it the rhythm of turning the niece and daughter-in-law into a wife?
Xuan Yinruo stared at Xiao Ling reluctantly being carried away by Xiao Ling, watching helplessly as he took back the things Yu Xinrou brought back to Ting Yuxuan.

Listening to Yuxuan, Xiao Ling put Xuan Yinruo on the ground, then squatted down and began to discuss with it,
"Xiao Qi, the prince is discussing something important, you can play with them here for a while, and I will take you there after the discussion is over, okay?"

After finishing speaking, he rubbed the top of Xuan Yinruo's round head, which was quite comforting.

"..."

Xuan Yinruo turned his head to look at the basket with the mouse puppet beside him, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

She just... doesn't really need it.

Seeing that Xuan Yinruo didn't have much reaction, Xiao Ling thought it agreed, patted his head lightly, and did not forget to boast: "Xiao Qi is so good, this dress is so pretty."

"..."

are you sure?

Xuan Yinruo raised her head, Xiao Ling had already left, and she clearly heard Xiao Ling's order to the two maids outside the palace, keep an eye on her and don't let her go out.

Hmph, she is not rare.

When she becomes an adult again, she won't stay here anymore. Wouldn't it be beautiful to travel around and feel the customs of ancient times?
If Xuan Yinruo thought so, he felt much better after being messed up by Gu Chengyuan and Yu Xinrou, but...

The mood of worry because of the cat's body is actually good.

Inside the bookstore.

Gu Chengyuan's eyes were cold, he looked at Yu Xinrou who was sitting beside him, and said in a cold tone, "Concubine Rou can explain her purpose."

When Yu Xinrou heard this, her exquisite face was still smiling like a flower, and her voice was soft: "The concubine is naturally here to see Xiaoqi today."

Seeing Gu Chengyuan's complexion getting colder, Yu Xinrou stretched her eyebrows and blinked lightly: "It's rare to see the prince's mood swings."

After all, before Gu Chengyuan got angry, he promptly explained the purpose of his visit: "Actually, the concubine is not all here to visit Xiaoqi today. I wonder if the prince knows about Yushifang in West Street City outside the palace?"

Yu Xinrou kept looking at Gu Chengyuan with full eyes, seeing that he didn't intend to reply, so she said to herself again,
"My lord has a lot of things to do every day, so naturally he doesn't care about such a small shop. However, although this Yushifang has just opened at the beginning of this year, the business is very prosperous. There are two reasons. First, the behind-the-scenes owner of the shop is Yu Xiuxian, the servant of the household department."

Yu Xiuxian, the third son of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

He is also the half-brother of the Concubine Rou in front of her.

Gu Chengyuan lowered his eyes and didn't make any movements. He just quietly listened to how Yu Xinrou would introduce her brother and this jade workshop.

"Secondly, although it is a jade business on the surface, it is secretly doing gambling business."

Gu Chengyuan raised his eyes, Qing Juan's indifferent face remained calm, and his voice was as cold as ever: "Concubine Rou is not just planning to say this to the king today, is she?"

In Qi Wenguo, it is not strictly forbidden for officials to do business, but since Qi Wenguo has ample treasury and most officials have ample salaries, it is not common for officials to do business.

Although the gambling shop business is not allowed, if they are found out, at most they will be demoted and fined. With the status of the prime minister's residence, Yu Xiuxian doesn't need to worry about this.

Therefore, if Yu Xinrou just wanted to tell the news, it would be superfluous.

Yu Xinrou took a sip of the hot tea, and after carefully admiring the bright red lip marks she had left on the mouth of the cup, she bent her lips delicately, then put down the teacup and said softly,
"It's true that you can't hide anything from your lord. But when it comes to my father and Prince Zun, your lord must have made some mistakes."

Yu Xinrou winked at Cailian beside her, Cailian immediately understood, saluted Gu Chengyuan, got up and walked out the door, and closed the palace door tightly.

Xiao Ling, who came back from listening to Yuxuan, was slightly taken aback when he saw this scene, and Cai Lian hurriedly bowed to him: "My mother and the prince are discussing important matters inside, Master Xiao, please don't go in if you have nothing important to do. Bar."

Xiao Ling glanced at the closed door, nodded lightly, and guarded the door himself.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chengyuan in the hall didn't say anything, only a hint of impatience and disgust flashed in his lowered eyes.

Yu Xinrou didn't realize it at all, she just stood up and sat across from Gu Chengyuan, only a foot away from him, and there was inevitably a little infatuation in her eyes.

This is the first time she is so close to this man...

The aura around Gu Chengyuan became more and more indifferent, and his expression was showing impatience. He said in a cold voice: "If this king really wants to investigate, do you think it is such a difficult thing?"

Yu Xinrou recovered from Gu Chengyuan's cold tone, frowned slightly, and puzzled flashed in her eyes: "My lord, what does this mean?"

Gu Chengyuan's complexion had become cold, and his calm purple pupils swept forward carelessly, revealing an unpredictable sense of alienation, which made Yu Xinrou's mood of winning the game suddenly become flustered.

"It means that this king doesn't mind, others share power with me."

Gu Chengyuan's exceptionally calm voice rang in Yu Xinrou's ears, and the next second, he looked directly outside the hall: "Xiao Ling, send Concubine Rou off."

The lotus picking outside the hall did not expect to end so soon, and a trace of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

On the other hand, Xiao Ling was not surprised at all, opened the palace door calmly, walked up to Concubine Rou, and bowed: "Niangniang, I will see you off."

It wasn't until Yu Xinrou walked outside the Huaqing Palace that she realized how outrageous her first defeat was.

"How come, isn't he the favorite to play with the government? Isn't his greatest enemy Prince Zun?"

Yu Xinrou didn't hesitate to betray her own brother and made enemies of the whole family, but in the end, the other party didn't mind?
What went wrong?
Gu Chengyuan, what does he care about?
Yu Xinrou's head was like a mess, and Cailian behind her felt a little distressed and worried when she saw this scene, so she quickly stepped forward to support her, and whispered admonishment in her ear,

"Your Majesty, be careful, this is outside the Huaqing Palace."

Yu Xinrou closed her eyes, and when she opened them again she had regained her clarity and pride, and said slowly, "Go back to the palace."

The future is long, and she has plenty of opportunities.

Inside the Book Pavilion, Gu Chengyuan ordered Xiao Ling with a cold face: "Reveal to Prime Minister Yu that Concubine Rou came to my palace today to betray Yu Xiuxian."

"Yes."

Xiao Ling was not surprised, those who dared to scheme against their lords always had to pay a price.
-
Zhaohui Hall.

Gu Sinian was wearing a dark green silk casual dress, leaning on the soft couch, holding a picture album in his hand, reading it with great interest, and occasionally laughing out loud at the wonderful pictures in it.
