Qin Mubai and Concubine Yin returned to the palace. Princess Gaoyang took out a small box and opened it. It was full of precious and rare jewelry.
"It's all yours, Ling'er." Concubine Yin said with a smile, "You haven't been longing for these things for a long time, and you complained that my mother has been unwilling to give them to you, but now I have given them to you."
"Mom, I'm not married yet, hehe..." Princess Gao Yang glanced at Qin Mubai, her face turned red, and she snickered.
Seeing Princess Gaoyang like this, Qin Mubai felt a little relieved. Thinking about it, her mood should be considered stable. However, if she were allowed to stay in this palace and come into contact with the same people and environment sooner or later, she might be stimulated again. So he was thinking about whether to let Princess Gaoyang live somewhere else.
The residence of King Wu Li Ke is a good place to go. Firstly, Li Ke is the royal brother of Princess Gaoyang, so it is reasonable for her to stay there for a few days; secondly, it is convenient for him to go there to see her.
Just as she was thinking about how to talk to Concubine Yin, Princess Gaoyang spoke first. She leaned close to Concubine Yin and hummed: "Concubine, I... I want to go out to the palace to play for a few days."
Concubine Yin lovingly stroked her head: "Where do you want to go?"
"I'm going to stay at Third Brother's house for a few days!"
"Then you can go."
To the surprise of Qin Mubai and Princess Gaoyang, Concubine Yin agreed readily and without hesitation.
For a moment, Princess Gaoyang seemed a little unbelievable: "Mom, did you agree?"
"Can this still be fake? Go!" Concubine Yin said lovingly, still smiling, "You have suffered a lot these days. Go wherever you want to play. Remember to bring a few maids with you. , carry more money with you, don’t be too naughty when you go to your third brother’s house, just cause trouble for him. "
"Wow! Concubine, you are so kind. I like you so much!" Princess Gaoyang was overjoyed. She hugged her neck and kissed her several times on the face.
Qin Mubai smiled and shook his head, thinking that this was probably what the emperor had told her, and he no longer had to control Princess Gaoyang forcefully in the future. Let her do whatever she wants.
Maybe all this is for the sake of her condition.
"Mubai, could you please get your car in order and send Ling'er to Prince Wu's residence." Concubine Yin said to Qin Mubai with a smile.
"Wei minister, I obey." Qin Mubai responded with his hands in hand.
Princess Gaoyang was delighted. She held the jewelry box and happily jumped to Qin Mubai's side. She held his arm in front of her mother and said to Concubine Yin: "Concubine, what else do I want to do?" ... Can Mu Bai stay with me for a few days? He has just returned from Jiangzhou on business. It has been a hard journey, so give him a few days off!"
"My mother can't decide this." Concubine Yin said with a smile, "Go and ask your father."
"I won't go!" Princess Gao Yang curled her lips and refused.
"Your Highness Princess, it doesn't have to be like this." Qin Mubai said, "Everything should be done with official business! After I send you to Prince Wu's Mansion first, you have to come back to deliver the order to Your Majesty. Don't be impatient for a moment, and feel at ease in Wu first. I will stay at the palace for a while. If I have time, I will visit you."
"Oh, okay then..." Princess Gao Yang nodded slightly unhappily, but she was still elated and couldn't help but be overjoyed.
"Ling'er, clean up and go!" The smile on Concubine Yin's face was still so quiet and gentle, revealing infinite love and warmth. She looked at Gao Yang with nostalgia and pity, then looked at Qin Mubai with hope and gratitude, and nodded to him, full of trust.
Qin Mubai also nodded solemnly. There was a tacit understanding between the two. Only Princess Gaoyang was a little confused and muttered to herself: What kind of riddle are the two of them playing
Soon after, the three maids who had previously served Princess Gaoyang came and helped her pack a large box of clothes, utensils, jewelry and powder, which they filled into a large carriage.
Before leaving, Concubine Yin told Qin Mubai that there was no need to make anything public, just let Gao Yang relax outside, and there was no need to let outsiders know that she was leaving the palace to live. So Qin Mubai led three or five followers to escort her car to Prince Wu's Mansion. The generals guarding the Xuanwu Gate all recognized Qin Mubai, and they didn't dare to check when they saw that it was the royal guards who were leading the royal guards out of the city, so they just let him go.
Just after leaving the imperial city and walking halfway, Princess Gaoyang raised the curtain of the carriage and asked her maid to call Qin Mubai. Qin Mubai rode on the horse and asked her what happened.
"Quick, get in the car and come with me!" Princess Gao Yang said with a smile.
"It's all nonsense." Qin Mubai scolded with a smile, "It's just a few steps to Prince Wu's Mansion. Can't you hold yourself back now?"
"No, I want it!" Princess Gao Yang said with a smile, "Mubai, do you know how happy I am today? This is probably the happiest day in my life! I feel like I am a It’s like a bird trapped in a cage is suddenly released and can fly freely in the sky. It’s so relaxing and refreshing! You must share my happiness. Please get off your horse and get in the car!”
Several maids nearby snickered, and Qin Mubai said with a smile: "Look, they are all laughing at you. Don't be too fussy, and take the car with peace of mind. We will arrive at Prince Wu's Mansion in a while. I will have plenty of time to accompany you then. You're talking nonsense."
"What, what nonsense is that? Really!" Princess Gaoyang complained angrily. Seeing Qin Mubai clapped her horse and walked forward, she shouted to her maids: "It's all your fault! You're still laughing, don't think I'll use it for a while. The wooden clamp hits your palm!"
Prince Wu's Mansion has arrived. The gatekeeper, Colonel Qin Mubai, recognized them all, so there was no way to stop him. Someone had already entered the palace to inform the King of Wu, and Li Ke had already come out to welcome him.
Li Ke stood on the steps of the hall, saw Qin Mubai from a distance, and smiled: "Is this guy back in Beijing? Ha, it's really lively now."
At this time, Princess Gaoyang had already got out of the car, and Li Ke raised his eyebrows in surprise: "It's strange, why did this little girl drive so grandly and arrive at my house? She seems to have brought a lot of things. Could it be that she came here to give Did I give you a gift?”
"Haha, what a coincidence that you two are here. Today happens to be my birthday." Li Ke laughed and came forward.
Qin Mubai didn't react for a moment, and was suddenly startled: "Is it really such a coincidence?"
"Mubai, don't listen to him! He just celebrated his birthday last month." Princess Gaoyang smiled evilly and stepped forward and said, "Third brother, please stop being so pretty. These things I brought are not for you. I’m here to give it to you. These are all my clothes and jewelry.”
"What do you want to do?" Li Ke asked warily.
"Hehe, look how nervous you are?" Princess Gao Yang said with a smile, "It's nothing. My little sister misses her brother, so she wants to live in his house for a while. Are you not welcome?"
"Uh... you're already here, do I have the nerve to say you're not welcome?" Li Ke shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly, "I didn't do anything bad today, why did I get such a good fortune as soon as I went out?"
"Third brother, what do you mean? You're a bad guy!" Princess Gao Yang started to punch her with her pink fist, but Li Ke laughed and dodged it.
Qin Mubai couldn't help but smile. These brothers and sisters were both quite good at playing tricks... But Princess Gaoyang didn't look like a crazy person at all. How could she get better so quickly
"Okay, you two, you don't have to stand here and talk, just follow me into the hall and have tea." Li Ke laughed and invited the two of them into the hall. Sitting down to make tea, silk and bamboo dance music were also played, which was quite leisurely.
"Oh, it's so comfortable..." Princess Gao Yang stretched out and smacked her lips, "Third brother, Mu Bai... I'm finally free!"
Li Ke waved his hand to shoo away the idlers, then personally crushed the vegetable leaves with a tea grinder and said with a smile: "It's better for you to do some bad things and drag down an innocent good man like me."
"What do you mean by this, Your Highness?" Qin Mubai asked.
Li Ke curled his lips: "Why, did you forget what you did?"
"What did I do?" Qin Mubai asked blankly, confused.
"Then ask her!" Li Ke pursed his lips towards Princess Gaoyang and continued to concentrate on crushing his tea leaves.
"Mubai, it's like this..." Princess Gaoyang moved closer to Qin Mubai and said in his ear, "My father knew about my trip to Jiangzhou last time!"
"It's not surprising." Qin Mubai said, "You are such a big person, and there are many people watching along the way, so it is inevitable that your whereabouts will be revealed. But what's wrong?"
Princess Gao Yang said nervously: "Then Father knows that I am going to see you..."
"Then what?"
"Then..." A look of embarrassment appeared on Princess Gaoyang's face, and she laughed dryly twice and said, "I don't know how my father found out the truth about Fang Yiai. When he found out, I was the one who set him up." Got the medicine…”
"What?" Qin Mubai was shocked.
"That's it..." Princess Gao Yang curled her lips helplessly, "As soon as I returned to the palace, my father became furious with me and said that even if I was willing, he would have no shame to marry me to the Fang family again. Marry me far away to Tubo! And ask me if I have an affair with you, and if you taught me to use this strategy to frame Fang Yiai. "
Qin Mubai frowned and didn't ask any questions. Facts have proved that Princess Gaoyang definitely did not betray herself, otherwise she would not be in this situation.
Li Ke on the side interjected: "You have underestimated His Majesty the Emperor too much, and you have also ignored the close relationship between him and Fang Xuanling. When the two confront each other, your plan will be exposed immediately. It's strange. It's too obvious that Gao Yang acted too hastily. Mu Bai, fortunately, Gao Yang loves you deeply and would rather die than betray you. He always insisted that he had an idea when he heard someone tell a similar story while chatting in a restaurant in West Market. This is a way to get rid of Yiai and refuse the marriage. "
"Then, I went crazy." Princess Gaoyang said these words neatly like pouring beans through a bamboo tube, and Zhen stopped talking and looked at Qin Mubai blankly.
For a moment, Qin Mubai was really dumbfounded.
"So, are you really pretending to be crazy?"
"Don't I pretend to be crazy?" Princess Gaoyang said angrily, "Under those circumstances, if I didn't pretend to be crazy, I would really be married to Tubo. That's okay, if my father insists on pursuing the investigation forcefully , I am afraid that you will be found... No matter how crazy I am, he will not kill me after all. But it is different for you. I was so scared and panicked... that I thought of pretending to be crazy. "
Li Ke smiled evilly at the side: "This means that a fool will always get something after all his considerations. A blind cat catches a dead mouse and beats the old master to death with random punches."
"Third brother, you, you, you!!!" Princess Gao Yang was furious, "Why do you keep saying such things to ridicule me! I... suffered a lot at that time. I almost died... if it weren't for I still have some thoughts and hopes in my heart, and I really want to kill myself."
Qin Mubai shook his head helplessly and smiled: "Gao Yang, I'm really convinced by you!"
