She is just an ordinary woman who lives deep in the prime minister's mansion, her beauty is withered like a flower, without the love of her husband, and the attentive care of her father and brother.
She and Yufu were far apart in the past, and they are still far apart today.
Only if she was mud, a puddle of mud that no one would remember.
"Princess, do you want to find your son-in-law?"
Tian'er whispered behind her to remind Princess Danyang that when she looked up, she actually walked near Yin Shuo's outer study.
She stared blankly at the lights in the outer study room, as if she could imagine Yin Shuo sitting under the lamp and reading official documents, getting up from time to time to flip through the past materials on the bookshelf, and picking up a pen to make some annotations.
Is that the case
She didn't know that Yin Shuo never allowed her to enter the outer study room, even if the outer study room was later opened to the ministers who often came to the mansion, she was still not eligible to enter.
In Yin Shuo's eyes, perhaps she is inferior to ordinary ministers of the same party.
Should she go to Yin Shuo
His footsteps were unsteady, and he wanted to ask him clearly so that he could give up, but at the same time he wanted to deceive himself—
It's too late tonight, why don't you ask tomorrow
Seeing her stunned in place, Tian'er urged: "The princess should go if she wants to find her son-in-law. If she doesn't want to go, go back quickly. What should I do if I catch a cold while standing in this windy place?"
"Oh, then... let's go back and come back tomorrow."
After all, she couldn't muster up the courage, she turned on her toes and walked towards the east courtyard.
The moment she left, she understood that the tomorrow she said would never come, and after tonight passed, she would not have the courage to question Yin Shuo.
Tian'er followed her, and suddenly saw her stop, and then walked towards the outer study as fast as a madman.
"Princess...princess?!"
In the study outside, Yin Shuo was waiting for further news from the palace.
On the one hand, Ning Chengzhi's injury, and more importantly, his attitude towards what happened tonight, and how he planned to deal with Yufu.
Not long after, the news came, "Young Master, there is news from the Tai Hospital. Your Majesty's injuries are all skin traumas. It looks scary, but it's actually not serious."
This point is similar to Yin Shuo's expectation, Yu Fu is not a sloppy person, if he really wants to hurt Ning Chengzhi, he can secretly poison him to die without anyone noticing.
This thunderous and rainy action was just for others to see.
He couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "Yu Fu is very smart, she can think of such a way to refuse His Majesty to be the heir apparent, but it's hard to say whether His Majesty will fulfill her wish."
The subordinate said: "I heard from the little eunuch in front of the imperial court that His Majesty didn't mention Princess Zhenjiang after returning home. Instead, he ordered someone to scold Concubine Li. Concubine Li is still kneeling outside His Majesty's bedroom with her hairpin off. It seems that she gave His Majesty something that should not be eaten, so His Majesty... "
"What will it be?"
The subordinates knew his feelings for Yufu, so they felt a little embarrassed: "That's why he belittled the eldest princess of Zhenjiang, and caused the eldest princess to beat her violently."
Yin Shuo originally thought that the so-called frivolity was just an excuse made by Yu Fu, but he didn't expect it to be true, and his expression turned dark for a moment.
The subordinates lowered their heads and did not dare to speak. Suddenly they heard footsteps coming from the courtyard, and hurriedly went out to check, only to see Princess Danyang walking over with a maid.
"Is the son-in-law in?"
The subordinate first looked into the room, and Yin Shuo's expression was noncommittal, so he cupped his hands at Princess Danyang, "The eldest princess came to look for the young master late at night, what's the matter?"
If she followed her previous temper, Princess Danyang would definitely say: "Can't you come if you have nothing to do?"
But now, her sharpness has all been worn away, and she has long since lost her original arrogance. She just smiled and said, "Ji Kui just came back and told me something about the assassination of His Majesty tonight. I think the son-in-law will be interested in hearing it, so come and tell me." he."
The subordinate glanced into the room again, Yin Shuo nodded slightly, and then he stepped aside, "Princess, please."
Princess Danyang walked in alone, while Yin Shuo sat behind the desk, sipping a cup of tea, without even looking at her.
She looked around, and she was sitting on the rose chair beside her. Yin Shuo said without any preparation, "Ji Wei is going out with Gu Jiuge and the others to watch the lanterns tonight. What did she say when she came back?"
Princess Danyang paused.
He didn't want to see him so much, didn't even say a word of pleasantries, just cut to the point
She felt sad in her heart, "Did you also look like this when you spoke in front of Yufu?"
Yin Shuo froze for a moment, and immediately frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"
Princess Danyang smiled far-fetchedly, "It's nothing, it's just that tonight when I heard that Yufu beat up the emperor's brother, Ji Wei was very anxious. She wanted to ask you to intercede for Yufu, saying...that you have liked Yufu for a long time."
It turned out that it was Yin Jiyi who said it.
Yin Shuo was unmoved, "What else did Ji Yao say, such as how do the people in Guhou's residence think about what happened tonight, and what does Yufu think about it?"
Princess Danyang smiled palely, "You still like Yufu, don't you? You are my husband, I was asking you about other women you like, but you are asking me about other things confidently?"
Yin Shuo just looked at her. Could it be the first day she knew that she didn't like her
I have endured it for so long, why did I suddenly come to him to say this tonight.
He said impatiently: "It doesn't matter who I like, just like I don't care who you like. If that's what you said, then you can go out now."
Princess Danyang was taken aback, "Do you still mind the fact that I liked Gu Shubai before? I..."
Yin Shuo interrupted ruthlessly, "I don't mind, who you like is your business, what has nothing to do with me? Haven't you seen clearly yet? I don't care about you at all. So, the title of my wife is still yours. If you don't want to, I have other reasons."
It turned out that what he cared about was not the past that he liked Gu Shubai, but that he never had the slightest affection for him.
If there is no affection, why do you care
Danyang sneered, "It's not good who you like, but Yufu. She is just a mountain girl with unknown origin, but you all like her! Gu Shubai likes her, even you like her, father and brother Everyone likes her! Why do things I like end up being snatched away by her?"
Yin Shuo paused, what Princess Danyang meant was that she liked herself, just like she liked Gu Shubai back then.
He doesn't believe it.
"Oh, what really belongs to you will not be taken away by others. It will be taken away by others, that's because—"
He stood up, leaned against Princess Danyang's ear and said cruelly: "Those things didn't belong to you in the first place."
Princess Danyang trembled all over, as if she was in the icy water of the twelfth lunar month, and every pore of her body was suffocated. Yin Shuo's gaze was like a cold shining knife, piercing her heart to a bloody mess.
Her voice trembled, "What's so good about Yufu? Why do you all like her?"
"She's good, you won't understand even if you tell me."
Yin Shuo retreated to his seat, still sat down, without looking at her again, "Come here, see off the guests."
The subordinate came in from the door and bowed to ask Princess Danyang to leave.
Tears welled up in her eyes on her numb face, Yin Shuo still didn't look up when his subordinates stood aside and didn't dare to ask her.
After a moment of stalemate, the subordinate said in embarrassment: "Princess, please don't embarrass this subordinate."
Princess Danyang turned around slowly and walked out of the study. Yin Shuo raised his head slightly and saw her back like a walking corpse.
He frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, but still lowered his head and read the book.
…
The next day, Yu got up early and fed Fat Nine and Fat Five in person.
"Fat Five should eat more to help Fat Jiu lose weight. Fat Jiu, don't compete with Fat Five for food anymore!"
Fat Jiu yelled at her dissatisfied, took a step back reluctantly, and Fat Wutoed walked forward proudly on the fox, enjoying the jerky in Fat Jiu's bowl to his heart's content.
The satisfied little white fox smiled, and Yufu hurriedly comforted Fat Jiu who was asked to "lose weight".
She stroked the head of a dog and a fox, and suddenly thought of Gu Shubai always touching her head like this, couldn't help but chuckle.
Aunt Li entered the courtyard and saw Yufu squatting in the backyard, chatting and laughing with the two snow-white dumplings, she was surprised: "Miss, why did you get up so early today?"
Yao Lan came out of the inner room with a copper basin in her hand, "Miss said she was afraid to go out in a while, and she has already finished washing."
Aunt Li looked into the copper basin, and there were some milky white bubbles in the still steaming water, which looked like soap had been rubbed.
Aunt Li was even more surprised, "What's the matter, miss, you want to go out so early? The rooster hasn't crowed yet!"
Yu Fu finished feeding Fat Nine and Fat Five, walked up to Aunt Li and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come back after this trip, so get up earlier."
Aunt Li was taken aback by the words "can't come back", "Could it be that Miss beat His Majesty last night, and His Majesty is going to have a fit?"
"Who knows?"
Yu Fu didn't look worried at all, but looked forward to it, "I hope His Majesty will get angry, by the way, what about the people who get up early and go out to spread rumors?"
The second half of the sentence was spoken to Yaolan. Yaolan looked out of the courtyard and saw Yan Zheng running in with ease.
Aunt Li frowned slightly when she saw that he seemed to be in a deserted place, and she thought to herself that he had no rules at all—can men come in at will in the yard where the young lady lives
Yu Fu immediately greeted her with a smile, Yan Zheng panted and said, "Miss, don't worry, everything has been arranged! Our people went to the morning market to publicize it, and now the streets and alleys are talking about it!"
Yu Fu chuckled, "Morning market? Thank you for thinking it out!"
As for the place where rumors spread the fastest, besides teahouses and restaurants, isn't it the morning market
Those women in the market who love to spread gossip get up early to buy vegetables, and they are the most sensitive to gossip news. Once it is spread, it will spread quickly throughout the entire imperial capital.
Aunt Li was confused, "Miss, what are you talking about?"
Yan Zheng spoke quickly, and opened his mouth to say: "It's because the lady beat your majesty! The major general said that Mo Huangsha, the general of the guard army, has received favors from the lady, so I'm afraid he won't let the soldiers spread the word. We might as well pretend to be the guard army to spread the word , Soon the Emperor will know that Miss beat His Majesty!"
Aunt Li rolled her eyes and almost passed out on the ground, but fortunately Yao Lan quickly helped her up.
She pointed at Yan Zheng, and was speechless for a while, "You...you, aren't you trying to make our lady suffer? Oh no, no, what should our lady do..."
Yufu asked Yaolan to stay in the west chamber, explained to Aunt Li carefully, and went out to go to the room by herself.
When they arrived at the upper room, they were surprised to find that apart from Gu Huaijiang, several generals of the Gu family army were there, Yan Huashi and Lao Jin frowned.
Seeing Yufu, everyone hesitated to speak.
Yu Fu greeted Gu Huaijiang first, then smiled at the crowd and said, "Why did you generals come so early today?"
Everyone was silent, the atmosphere was a bit strange, Yu Fu tentatively asked: "Could it be that... it's because of me?"
When she said this, Lao Jin couldn't hold back his breath, "The news that Miss beat His Majesty has been spread in the streets and alleys of the imperial capital today. How about if there is a decree of punishment from the palace in a while?"
Everyone's faces were ugly, even Gu Huaijiang looked solemn, but Yu Fu burst out laughing.
With this smile, everyone was at a loss.
Yu Fu said: "General Jin, what are you going to do if the imperial decree arrives to arrest me and lock me up in the clan mansion?"
"I… "
Lao Jin was tongue-tied, and after a while he said: "I have brought soldiers here, whoever dares to arrest Miss and leave will definitely be stopped!"
"After stopping it?"
"After I stopped... I..."
Lao Jin looked at Gu Huaijiang, and then at Yan Huashi, and I didn't come up with a result after a long time.
Yu Fu sighed, "I appreciate the kindness of the generals, but it doesn't have to be like this. So what if you hit His Majesty? It's best if he arrests me, whether it's depriving the princess of his title or putting him in prison, at least he can't register another prisoner For later, isn't it?"
It was only after hearing this that everyone understood that it was this idea that Yufu was attacking.
Yan Huashi suddenly realized, "No wonder the young general asked Yan Zheng to send people to the morning market early in the morning, saying that he was spreading the rumors of last night, so this is the truth!"
In this way, even if Ning Chengzhi didn't want to punish Yufu, he would have to punish him because of his face.
This strategy is good, but it seems a bit risky.
Lao Jin said anxiously: "What if His Majesty becomes angry and takes Miss's life? Wouldn't the gain outweigh the loss?"
This is what everyone is most worried about.
Yufu looked up, winked at Gu Huaijiang, and the latter finally said, "That's not true. Yufu is a princess who was conferred by the late emperor, not to mention having the God of Medicine as her backing. Even if your majesty doesn't look at my Guhoufu's face, I will also look at the face of the God of Medicine. It's just... "
"It's just that how the penalty will be punished is still unknown."
Yu Fu hurriedly came to him, and patiently comforted him like coaxing a child: "I won't punish you in any way. Let me tell you that my identity is here. I said that although I beat him last night, I still have the merit of escorting him. If he is serious Wouldn't the whole world be chilled by punishing the hero who protected him?"
What she said was also reasonable, although Gu Huaijiang was worried, there was nothing he could do if the matter was a foregone conclusion.
"You have grown up and have your own ideas. I shouldn't interfere with you. Just remember that no matter what happens, your life is the most important thing, and everything else is secondary. Do you understand?"
Yu Fu hurriedly said: "Whatever the general said, it is right for a father to teach his daughter, it should not be called interference."
Gu Huaijiang was taken aback, he had always claimed that Yufu was the adopted daughter of the Marquis Gu's mansion, but in fact, Yufu had never called him father.
He always thought that Yu Fu had reservations and was unwilling to take him as his father. He was very heart-warming after hearing this today, "You never called me father, I thought..."
Yu Fu couldn't laugh or cry.
How should she explain this question
When she first came to Guhou's Mansion, she was forced to leave Immortal Valley, and the troubles behind her had not been cleared away, so she didn't want to implicate Guhou's Mansion.
Then the troubles were cleared away, but because she fell in love with Gu Shubai, she couldn't call him father.
She hoped that this title would be used after they got married, not now, but Gu Huaijiang felt bitter in her heart, thinking that she had reserved something.
In front of everyone, she couldn't go into details, so she said: "In my heart, you have always been my father, before, now, and in the future. It's just that my elder brother and I are engaged, how can this name be called now? ?”
Gu Huaijiang was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, a suspicious blush appeared on his face.
"That's right, my daughter's family has to be reserved, it's really not, it's really not..."
He is now Gu Shubai's father, Yufu's future father-in-law, and the word "father" can only be called after they get married.
Seeing that he understood, Yu Fu hurriedly said: "General, please restrain the generals. Your Majesty will send someone to deliver the decree in a while, and you must not stop it. Once you stop it, it will be a serious crime of disrespecting the decree."
She is not afraid that this will will come, but she is afraid that it will not come.
Gu Huaijiang was coaxed into a fog by Yu Fu, and nodded immediately, "Don't worry." Then he looked at the people in the seat, "I, the Gu family army, did not do the disrespectful decree. No matter what decree came in a while, you Don't stop it!"
Everyone: "..."
When they said they wanted to stop them just now, Gu Huaijiang didn't object, why did he change his mind immediately after being coaxed by Yu Fu
