The Virtuous Wife

Chapter 74

The eldest prince entered the bedroom and saw the curtain in front of the bed fall. He couldn't help but sneer and said, "Hmph! Gu Wen, you are the one who didn't know what's good for you first, don't blame me for being cruel! Yu'er, tut tut, don't worry, I'm here! When you become my person today, I will not treat you badly in the future!" As he said this, he took off the jade crown on his head and began to undress impatiently.

Gu Yu, who was hiding behind the curtain, was sweating coldly and began to shiver all over. Jingyi held her hand tightly and signaled her with her eyes not to panic at this time.

After taking a few deep breaths, Gu Yu finally stabilized a lot, but her body was still trembling slightly.

Seeing that the eldest prince had taken off only his underwear and had walked to the bed, he gently pushed aside the curtain, then groaned and didn't move.

Jingyi then pulled Gu Yu out and walked to the bed bravely. Seeing that the eldest prince had fainted, she could not help but get angry and kicked him hard, saying, "I told you not to dare to set your sights on my cousin! I'll kick you to death! You beast!"

At this time, a woman in black came out from behind the curtain, and it was Siqin! It was also deserved that the eldest prince thought the plan was too perfect. Not to mention the hidden guards, he didn't even bring a guard, so Siqin had an opportunity to take advantage of it.

"Miss, let's go quickly." Siqin advised.

Jingyi rolled her eyes and asked, "Did you see who instructed the nanny to come?"

"I saw it clearly, it was Bai Min'er, the Protector of the Country! But Bai Min'er asked her to lead the person to Yilan Palace, and didn't let her bring him here."

Jingyi raised her eyebrows, Bai Min'er! You are really brave! You actually intended to do something bad to my cousin! But according to what Siqin said just now, Bai Min'er didn't mean to do that? Could it be that Bai Min'er was used by someone?

Jingyi's eyes moved, and after a moment, she figured out the interests involved. If this matter is accomplished, the Queen will certainly investigate. At that time, if Gu Yu said that a nanny conveyed the Queen's will and led her to Yilan Palace, but she was taken to Jingyang Palace for some reason? In this way, if it is said that the eldest prince and Defei deliberately made the rice a fait accompli, it will naturally not make sense. If things go wrong, it will be found that Bai Min'er falsely conveyed the Queen's will. In this way, Bai Min'er will be severely punished to calm the anger of Weiyuan General's Mansion! And the Queen will completely lose the opportunity to win over Weiyuan General's Mansion and Pingnan Marquis Mansion!

First it was Cui Moli, then Yang Qian, and the nanny in the Queen's Palace! It seems that Defei's hand is unusually long! It was just half a day, and so many thrilling things happened. If you live here for a long time, you will be driven crazy!

"Let's go out first. In case we are discovered later." Jingyi said, and helped Gu Yu. The three of them quietly retreated. Jingyi found a secluded place and tidied up Gu Yu. Seeing Gu Yu's frightened face, she comforted him: "Don't be afraid, cousin! It's all over. It's okay." Gu Yu cried out: "Yiyi, how could he? How could he? Yiyi, fortunately you came, otherwise, I'm afraid I would have to die to apologize!" "Nonsense! It's not as serious as you said! Stop crying, don't cry, be careful, and let people say I bullied you." "By the way, Yiyi, how did you find this place?" "Oh, it wasn't me. Sister Cui recognized that this was the road to Jingyang Palace when she was halfway there, so we took a shortcut." "What about Miss Cui?" Gu Yu asked. "She saw that you were unconscious, so she went out to find someone to carry you. Unexpectedly, you woke up as soon as she left." "What should we do now?" Gu Yu asked, holding Jingyi's little hand tightly. Jingyi pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go to the Queen to seek justice."

"Queen?" Gu Yu looked puzzled.

Jingyi smiled and said, "Cousin, don't worry, come, let's calm down first. Take a rest before going over."

In the Imperial Garden, the ladies were enjoying the chrysanthemums and drinking tea, and saw a nanny running to Liu's table in a hurry.

"Excuse me, is this Madam Gu?"

Liu was stunned, looked at the nanny, and said slowly, "I am. I wonder what you want to talk to me about?"

"Madam Gu, the young lady of the mansion got lost while touring the garden and came to Jingyang Palace. She is now in the bedroom of Jingyang Palace." The nanny deliberately raised her voice, just to let the ladies nearby hear it.

Liu was startled and stood up and said, "What? Did you see clearly? It's my Yu'er?"

The wife of Duke Dingguo and Gu frowned, and then heard the voice of Concubine De: "What happened?"

The nanny knelt down and said, "Reporting to the queen, the young lady of the Gu family got lost while visiting the garden and is now resting in the bedroom of Jingyang Palace."

Gu's eyes dimmed. This nanny clearly wanted to ruin Gu Yu's reputation. She actually said that she was resting in the bedroom of Jingyang Palace! This old woman must have been instructed by someone, and Gu Yu was probably really in Jingyang Palace.

I only heard Concubine De say, "Nonsense! The young lady of the Gu family is well-educated, how could she do such a thing that would damage her reputation? You must have misjudged her, so why don't you apologize to Madam Gu!"

Liu had calmed down at this time. It seemed that Gu Yu was probably tricked.

The nanny kowtowed and said, "Your Highness, I guarantee with my life that I have definitely not made a mistake. If you don't believe me, you can go to Jingyang Palace to take a look. You will know at a glance."

Liu secretly said that it was not good and was about to speak. The Defei said again, "Okay! I will go and take a look. If you, this old woman, tell a lie, I will order someone to beat you to death immediately!"

After saying that, she did not even look at Liu and led the people over.

Liu was so angry that she gritted her teeth secretly! What a good person! It is obvious that you have used a trick to defile your own Yu'er, and now you are doing this! It is simply despicable and shameless!

However, although she was angry, Liu still went to Jingyang Palace accompanied by Gu and the wife of Duke Dingguo. And some ladies who love to watch the excitement, and some ladies who have always been at odds with Gu Yu, also followed, wanting to see how embarrassed Gu Yu was!

A group of women and ladies went to Jingyang Palace in a mighty manner.

Jingwei followed closely behind Gu, thinking that Gu Yu might have really gotten into trouble this time. But why was Jingyi nowhere to be seen? Cui Xixi was nowhere to be seen either! Jingyi had always been good friends with Gu Yu. If Gu Yu had gotten into trouble, Jingyi would have been very sad. Jingwei felt a little relieved when she thought of Jingyi crying in grief. She unconsciously showed a little smugness on her face, as if she had really seen the two of them crying in each other’s arms.

Some ladies who followed behind were also whispering, "I thought that Miss Gu was a good person, but she turned out to be so shameless!"

"That's right, what do you mean by lost? It's obvious that Xian is a low-status young man who wants to climb into the bed of the eldest prince!"

"Yes! I really can't tell. Miss Gu is not even a college student yet, but she dares to do such a thing."

These unbearable words were heard by Gu and Liu, and their faces were naturally unprepared. At the same time, they also fell into the ears of Concubine De, but a smug look flashed across her face.

Following closely behind Concubine De was the wife of the Duke of Ying. Her face was naturally very ugly. If something happened to the newly engaged daughter-in-law, wouldn't it also affect her son's reputation?

The group had their own thoughts. As soon as they arrived at the gate of Jingyang Palace, they saw the queen accompanied by Concubine Xian, who also came to Jingyang Palace. Looking behind the queen, it was Cui Xixi, Jingyi and Gu Yu!

Concubine De's face changed! How could Gu Yu be standing here in such good health?

The ladies behind her were also surprised. Gu Yu's hair was not messy, her clothes were intact, without even a wrinkle. Anyone who saw her would not think that she had rested anywhere.

Liu hurried forward and bowed to the queen, saying, "Your Highness, I pay my respects to you. May I ask how my daughter is here?"

The queen was surprised, "I sent someone to summon them to Yilan Palace to talk with me. Jingyi also asked Miss Wan'er from the Liu family to give you a message. Why didn't you see Miss Wan'er?"

Liu then remembered that Wan'er had indeed told her about this matter, and hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Wan'er did mention it to me. But just now a maid came to report that my daughter was in Jingyang Palace. I was anxious and forgot about it."

"Oh?" The queen turned her head and looked at the maid next to Concubine De and said, "It's ridiculous! Miss Gu was talking to me with Xixi and Jingyi all the time, how could such a ridiculous rumor spread? She really deserves to be beaten!"

De Fei's face turned pale, and she forced a smile and said, "Sister, you are right. I just said the same thing. If you find that she has lied, you will be beaten to death immediately! Since Miss Gu is standing here, I think this servant must have lied." After that, she turned to the palace servants and said, "Drag her away and beat her to death!" When De Fei said this, her eyes were extremely cold, without a trace of warmth. The black and white eyes were like an ice kiln, which made people feel cold! Seeing this, the nanny just lowered her head, without a word of rebuttal, and let the palace servants drag her away. But the look she gave to De Fei was full of pleading and gratitude! Gratitude? Jingyi clearly saw the meaning in the nanny's eyes. She was not good at doing things, and was beaten to death by De Fei, but she was grateful to De Fei! What's the reason? After thinking for a moment, Jingyi suddenly realized, and the look she gave to De Fei was also very different. I thought she was just being spoiled and arrogant because of her family's power! Now I think she is even more sinister than the queen!

Concubine De turned to the queen and said with a smile: "I wonder why the queen suddenly came here?" After saying that, she winked at the people around her. Then a palace servant quietly entered Jingyang Palace.

The queen pretended not to see it and said with a smile: "It's these girls. It's boring to sit all the time. It's better to accompany me to walk around and chat while enjoying the flowers. It's also pleasant. Look, we have come to Jingyang Palace." Cui Xixi stepped forward and said: "Aunt Queen, could it be that they came here with great fanfare just to find Miss Gu?" Gu Yu smiled faintly: "Miss Cui may have guessed wrong. Gu Yu is just a little general's daughter. How dare she trouble the Empress Defei? And disturb so many ladies and daughters?" Gu stepped forward and took Gu Yu's hand, and said to the queen: "Your Majesty, we do want to go to Jingyang Palace to see who is sleeping in the hall? How dare he be so bold to defile the palace?" The queen nodded and said: "Since you are here, let's go in and take a look. It will also make the Empress De feel at ease." After that, she entered the gate of Jingyang Palace without waiting for the Empress De to speak. Concubine De was furious, but she could do nothing! The one walking in front was the Queen! She was the only woman who was superior to her! But what could she do now? Who made her bring people to Jingyang Palace in such a threatening manner?

Concubine De stared at the Queen's back, and her cold eyes seemed to want to poke a hole in her body. The Queen naturally noticed it, but she just raised the corners of her mouth and a smile flashed in her eyes.

Concubine De followed him resentfully. In fact, when she saw Gu Yu at the gate of the palace, she knew that things might not be good. So she had sent someone in to check so as to remind the eldest prince in time. Unfortunately, she didn't expect that the Queen had already sent people in to guard in front of the palace, and no one was allowed to enter without permission!
