After coming out of the palace, Qin Zheng knew that his chance had come, because he wanted to take this opportunity to dethrone the prince.
Of course he had to find an opportunity to meet Gu Yun. As long as he could deal with Gu Yun, his plan would surely be implemented smoothly. Thinking of this, Qin Zheng couldn't help but get excited.
All the people in the Second Prince's mansion were sent out to start searching for Gu Yun's whereabouts in the capital. It seemed that Gu Yun also knew about this matter and had calculated it accurately.
After hearing what she said last time, Qin Zheng would definitely find someone to follow her, so he took Zhang Qiqi to the suburbs for an outing early in the morning.
Zhang Qiqi looked at Gu Yun: "Yun'er, are you sure you can lure that Qin Zheng here?"
After leaving Mingyue Island, it was obvious that everything between Zhang Qiqi and Gu Yun was decided by Gu Yun, because Gu Yun was smarter than Zhang Qiqi.
And the so-called "the disciple surpasses the master" refers to the ruthlessness in Gu Yun. When he was on Mingyue Island, he dealt with his own family.
So Gu Yun seemed a little indecisive, but after she came out, there was no one in the world that she needed to worry about, so of course she could do whatever she wanted.
Besides, she had chosen Qin Zheng herself! She tidied up her appearance, wearing a plain white brocade dress, with only a pearl hairpin on her head.
She looked playful and cute, and looked at Zhang Qiqi: "Mom, what do you think of my outfit?"
Zhang Qiqi nodded: "My daughter is naturally beautiful, let's go."
Carrying the food box, she followed Gu Yun like a maid and walked out of the city. Gu Yun remembered that there was a big lake outside the city that was connected to the sea.
They entered the capital of Ningguo from that big lake. Going to have a look now is also a way of expressing a meaning to Qin Zheng, if you don't come to me.
I might be leaving, and when Qin Zheng got the news, he naturally thought so in his heart: This woman wants to leave
How could that be possible? He had just made a promise to his father today that he would definitely keep Gu Yun, so Qin Zheng acted quickly and headed straight to the lake.
When she rode to the lake, she saw Gu Yun spread a layer of cloth on the ground and put a lot of food on the cloth. She and Zhang Qiqi sat on the ground.
Obviously in a good mood, Qin Zheng dismounted and walked towards the two people: "Miss Gu, we meet again. It's really fate."
Gu Yun looked up at Qin Zheng and said, "Hello, Second Prince. Are you in the mood to go boating today?"
Qin Zheng was stunned for a moment. It turned out that Gu Yun came here to cruise the lake. However, he still decided to express his feelings: "Last time, Miss Gu said that when we meet again."
"Just give Qin Zheng a chance and invite Miss Gu to dinner. Do you think it counts?"
Gu Yun smiled sweetly: "I, Gu Yun, always keep my word."
So Qin Zheng waved his hand and asked someone to get a boat: "Then please get on the boat, Miss Gu, and go boating together. What do you think?"
Gu Yun did not refuse. He smiled and got on the boat with Qin Zheng. Of course, Zhang Qiqi also went on board. Qin Zheng asked someone to set up the meal on the deck at the bow.
Gu Yun was invited to dinner, and he did not refuse. He spent the whole afternoon chatting and laughing with Qin Zheng. Both of them felt that the other was attracted to them.
After Qin Zheng knew Gu Yun's thoughts, he felt more at ease and asked someone to send a message to the Prince's Mansion, saying that Qin Zheng and Gu Yun had developed a deep understanding of each other.
When the prince received the news, he was so angry that his face changed. Qin Zheng had finally become a stumbling block for him.
He immediately called his advisers and asked, "How do you think we should deal with this matter? Let Gu Yun follow Qin Zheng? You have to know that the people chosen by Mingyue Island are the future crown princes."
"As someone who could rule the world in the future, does this prince have to give up his throne obediently?"
When the prince thought of this, he was very troubled, but one of the counselors looked at the prince with a twinkle in his eyes and said, "Prince, I have a solution."
“It’s just a bit risky.”
The prince has now reached a point where he has no other options. If taking a risk can help him turn the situation around, he doesn't mind: "Tell me what you think first."
The counselor glanced at the prince and continued, "Actually, the person Mingyue Island sent this time is a woman, which is not a bad thing for us."
"After all, everyone knows women. No matter who her heart belongs to, as long as you get her, her heart will naturally turn to you."
The prince understood immediately after hearing this. This meant that the matter between him and Gu Yun had been settled. No matter what, Gu Yun could only swallow this loss.
Thinking of Gu Yun, the prince was indeed tempted, and this method was not a bad idea. He then looked at the counselor who had given him the idea and said, "Okay, this matter is decided."
"I'll leave it to you. It would be best if you can get it done tonight."
The counselor called out, then took his leave and left. Of course, he was going to arrange this matter, but before doing so, he sent out a message.
After Qin Zheng received the news, he was also very satisfied. Since you are so eager to die, I can help you do it earlier.
Thinking of this, he cooperated with all his strength. Just as night fell, the prince brought his men to the gate of Gu Yun's small courtyard and knocked on the door.
Zhang Qiqi opened the door and saw the prince and his men rushing in. Gu Yun also came out at this time and looked at the prince: "I wonder what is the matter with His Royal Highness the Prince?"
Seeing that Gu Yun was still so calm, the prince smiled and said, "I am here to propose marriage. Miss Gu Yun is beautiful and virtuous, which is exactly what I want."
Gu Yun actually wanted to roll his eyes and looked at the prince: "So the prince is planning to force her to marry him?"
The prince smiled and said, "Yes, Miss Gu Yun, you really reminded me. Not only do I want to marry you now, but I also want to spend the wedding night with you now."
After saying this, he took Gu Yun's hand and walked into the room. The prince probably had some problems with his brain. He knew that the other person was from Mingyue Island.
He treated her like an ordinary woman, it was impossible for him not to fall. Looking at Gu Yun who was so close, the prince was so excited that he forgot everything.
Looking at Gu Yun, he said, "Yun'er, don't worry. From today on, you are the Crown Prince's consort. I will not treat you unfairly."
As he was about to reach out to touch Gu Yun's cheek, he saw Gu Yun's mouth curled up, sneered, and then reached out to catch the prince's wrist.
"You think you can touch me?"
Then he shook off the prince's hand, and the prince found that he could not move his body. He looked at Gu Yun in horror, and his mind finally came back to normal at this time.
At first, the prince was caught off guard by the news sent by Qin Zheng, and made such a stupid move. But now he understands that Gu Yun is not someone he can use force against.
But it was too late now, because the prince heard the fighting outside, and Gu Yun also heard it, but he was not in a hurry, he just came to the table and sat down.
He brewed a pot of tea, poured a cup of tea, and began to drink the tea slowly. After finishing a cup of tea, the door of Gu Yun's room was finally knocked open, and Qin Zheng also rushed in at this time.
Looking at Gu Yun drinking tea so calmly, while the prince was standing there motionless, he was a little confused as to what was going on.
Looking at Gu Yun, Qin Zheng came to Gu Yun anxiously and said, "Yun'er, are you okay? I heard that the prince brought people to look for you, and I was so worried."
"That's why I came to see you right away. He didn't do anything to you, did he?"
Although he designed it himself, Qin Zheng still minded it. He didn't want Gu Yun to suffer any loss. No one likes an unclean woman.
Gu Yun glanced at Qin Zheng and blinked, his eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, and the corners of his mouth curved. "It's okay, I'm not that easy to take advantage of."
"Take him away and give me an explanation, or I won't let it go."
What Qin Zheng wanted was for Gu Yun to hold on to this matter. Now that he heard what Gu Yun said, he was naturally satisfied. He looked at Gu Yun and said, "Then you should have a good rest."
"I will give you an explanation for this matter."
So Qin Zheng took the prince into the palace overnight, and the next day, news came out of the palace that the prince had been deposed. Qin Zheng came to Gu Yun's small courtyard the next day.
Looking at Gu Yun: "Yun'er, the prince has been deposed. Are you satisfied with this explanation?"
Gu Yun nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, Second Prince. I have no way to repay your kindness."
Qin Zheng almost blurted out, "Just pledge your love to me," but he managed to hold back the words. He looked at Gu Yun with increasingly gentle eyes.
Seeing Qin Zheng's gentle eyes, Gu Yun said, "I can only promise you my body."
He said it impulsively, but after saying it, looking at Qin Zheng's shocked eyes, Gu Yun still felt a little uneasy, no matter what.
No matter how scheming she was, she was just a young girl in her prime. She felt a little shy at this moment, looking at Gu Yun whose face was flushed.
Qin Zheng smiled with satisfaction: "Being able to marry Yun'er is the greatest blessing in my life."
"I will go to the palace now to ask my father to grant me marriage. I will also take you to the palace to meet my father. He will definitely like you. I will take you to the palace."
Gu Yun wanted to be reserved, but she was the first to speak, so she decided not to be reserved at this time and nodded, looking at Qin Zheng.
"Can I really go into the palace with you?"
