Chapter 133 Master, I'm Back
Chapter 133 Master, I'm Back
"Are you blaming me for what you said, my Lord?" Gu Xiao asked
"Are you talking nonsense?" Xiao Jue looked at him like a fool.
"The Crown Prince and the Five Princes are all involved in today's matter, and there is also..."
"Anything else?" Xiao Jue looked impatient.
"In the palace, who do you think is that man or that woman?" Gu Xiao looked at him and picked up the teacup and drank.
"Oh, you're telling me all this now, aren't you afraid that I'll file a complaint?"
"Can you?" Gu Xiao asked
Of course he wouldn't. He would just pull the flag faster. Didn't Emperor Yuan think that the crown prince should give up his throne? Then pull it out, and let the second and fifth princes fight for the rest. Didn't the prime minister want his youngest daughter to marry the crown prince? Then fulfill his wish first, and then deal with him.
"I think you also know that the Prime Minister's daughter invited Wen Jiu back to the mansion early this morning. He must want her to do something to ensure that his daughter can marry into the East Palace smoothly." Gu Xiao said leisurely.
"Oh? What does Dugong mean?"
"Then it's as he wishes. It depends on whether he can bear this blessing."
"Is this the instruction given by the Governor?"
"Don't worry, my lord. I will get back the wine I owe her. I will never stand against her. As for the rest, wait for her to wake up and make a request. Any request will be granted."
The two smiled at each other and drank the tea in their cups.
That night, Emperor Yuan issued an imperial decree that the Crown Prince and the Fifth Prince would be married on a chosen date, without even choosing a date...
Xue Daihua was so angry that she smashed everything in the house.
"Miss, this is a good thing. You see, the emperor has finally broken the rumors for you in this way."
"What do you know? You can only fool a few ordinary people. I am considered...haha...Wen Ziqi will wait!" Xue Daihua has always been in love with the fifth prince. The two families are related and good friends. Therefore, even though she is the daughter of the high and mighty Shangshu, she is willing to be inferior to Wen Ziqi.
Thinking about it now, it is ridiculous. She must get back what she lost.
"Fifth Prince..." Xue Daihua whispered softly, and her eyes were filled with jealousy.
The next morning, Wen Jiu's injury was known to others. Su Jinxiu rushed into the Governor's Mansion and ran into Gu Xiao who was about to leave. He grabbed his collar and asked, "Why did my sister get injured here?"
"Everyone, go down." Gu Xiao asked them to go down, and said coldly, "If I were you, I wouldn't... forget it..." He knew that everyone in the General's Mansion was a treasure in their hands and their favorites, but he didn't know whether this blatant weakness was a blessing or a curse.
"I know what you want to say. Who in the capital doesn't know that my sister is the bottom line of the general's mansion? Since we dare to do it openly, we have the ability to protect her. Let me ask you, why did she get injured in your mansion?" Su Jinxiu currently has no idea of Wen Jiu's injury. He is already a little confused and worried.
"The county lady is no longer in danger of death. Mr. Su, can you please let me go first? I will take you to visit her."
"I'm asking you a question"
"This matter is of great importance. I don't want to talk about it. I owe the county lady another debt..."
"Please allow me to take my sister back to recover from her injuries."
The sudden unfamiliarity made Gu Xiao stunned, his upper and lower lips were about to speak but stopped.
"Cousin, let me take her back to the Prime Minister's Mansion so that my grandmother won't worry." Wen Xi also hurried back from outside the city.
"No, let's go back to the General's Mansion. The Prime Minister's Mansion will definitely not take good care of us." Su Jinxiu refused
"Cousin, I will take care of it myself. Besides, you still have to study for the palace examination in a few days."
"How can I win if I haven't even made it off the list?"
"I believe in you, cousin. You can't be distracted. I can take good care of her." Wen Xi glanced at Gu Xiao, with poison in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll tell my grandmother and the others that my sister is fine."
Gu Xiao wisely took them to see Wen Jiu, but Wen Jiu had just taken medicine and fell asleep. The two sister-con saw the look of pity in Wen Jiu's eyes and immediately called a carriage to return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Before lunch, Su Jinxiu went back. Wen Xi sat by the bed and gently stroked Wen Jiu's hair. Looking at his pale face, he regretted being too arrogant. He thought that no one in the mansion would bully her, but he didn't expect that his delicate sister would still be injured in the murderous governor's mansion. As for why she was injured, Gu Xiao was unwilling to say, only saying that he owed Wen Jiu another time.
"Qingliu, check for me"
"Yes"
A few days later……
"Qier, you must live a good life with the Fifth Prince in the future, and work together as a couple to have a child as soon as possible." Even if Xue's face was powdered, it couldn't hide her sallow complexion.
Wen Ziqi originally wanted to release Xue while there was no one to preside over her wedding, but Wen Xi stopped her, the Fifth Prince put pressure on her, and Wen Jiu stopped her. With them around, it would be impossible to release Xue, so they still let her go out of the backyard to marry Wen Ziqi. After all, without anyone to take care of her family, she would not be able to stand firm in the future!
Wenjiu didn't go to see the bride off at all. He ate and slept in his room. He was so happy.
"Miss, why did they suddenly get married?" Xuan Ling chewed on a chicken leg.
"The self-torture tactic worked"
"But the price is a bit high. I was injured again. Sister Baizhi scolded me severely. It's been a few days. She still glared at me when she saw me. Miss, can you please stop hurting yourself? You look like you are almost pierced like a sieve, with all these knives." Xuan Ling said resentfully.
"You're right. I can't do stupid things like getting hurt anymore. It will only make my family worry."
"By the way, why hasn't Qingli come recently?"
Xuan Ling glanced at Wen Jiu and finally told him everything.
"What did you say? The Black Eagle has been dispatched. Have you forgotten what I said? That is my last trump card. I don't want to expose it." Wen Jiu was obviously a little angry.
"Miss, I'm afraid you'll run into trouble. Sister Qingli has been punished by Xuanying, but luckily she wasn't exposed," Xuanling quickly comforted her.
"Forget it. I was the one who took the risk in the first place. I had to hide myself while trying to investigate by pretending to be a weak woman. Qingli has suffered a lot. Tell Xuanying to cancel Qingli's punishment."
"Yes." Xuan Ling jumped out and ran away. Now if he apologized to Sister Qingli, she... would probably forgive him.
When she came back, Bai Zhi was warming the wine and changing the medicine. The two of them couldn't help laughing when they saw him keeping his head down and not saying anything. Bai Zhi went out to get the medicine.
"what happened?"
"Did Qingli say something?"
"Miss, I will be more vigilant in the future. No matter how difficult or dangerous the situation is, I will fight my way out for you and keep you safe. It will never be like this time."
"Sister Qingli is right. I was in such a situation because I was too cautious. So what if a maidservant knows martial arts? Life is more important. I'm sorry, Miss."
"Okay, I was too arrogant this time, I won't do it next time."
Outside the door, drums were beating in Luotian. She was drinking warm wine and not caring about worldly affairs. She just sighed that it was so refreshing. However, this happiness did not delay her for a few minutes. The annoying voice in her mind sounded again.
"Master, Master, I'm back"
