When the Xue mother and daughter were helped up by the maids in the Queen Mother's palace, their legs had lost all feeling. They could walk slowly, but they were still limping. When they returned, it was the aunt in charge who escorted them out of the palace, together with the teaching nun given by the Queen Mother, Aunt Lin.
After they were sent to the gate of the palace, the aunt in charge stopped and said to Gu Mingmou meaningfully: "Miss Gu, you can take care of yourself."
"Auntie, thank you for your trouble." Gu Mingmou saluted her, and the aunt in charge turned half sideways.
After watching the mother and daughter get into the carriage that had parked outside the palace early, the aunt in charge breathed a sigh of relief. At least the queen mother listened to her advice and sent people back alive. She was really afraid that the Queen Mother would become angry and find any excuse to deal with this stubborn mother and daughter.
It's not like something like this never happened in the previous palace. At that time, the person who died was still a third-grade imperial concubine. In the end, the man whose legitimate wife died not only didn't cause trouble, but also took care of the Yue family who wanted to make trouble. The legitimate wife of a powerful minister cannot be touched, but the Gu family is only a fourth-class family, and they are not qualified to make trouble even if someone dies in the palace. And for the sake of their own future, they didn't have the guts to make trouble.
She also felt that Mr.
However, the daughter of the Gu family was very resourceful. On one side, the Yongning Marquis Mansion would rather reject the Jin Prince's Mansion for her sake, but on the other side, a noble man approached her to ask for favors for her.
Sure enough, women in this world should not be underestimated, especially those who look harmless, but whose hidden methods are even more unpredictable. Who would have thought that such a little girl could have the ability to steal the notorious Prince Heng.
When they returned to Gu's house, neither Gu Mingmou nor Ms. Gu Mingmou looked worse than Xue. After all, she was young and her body bones had not yet grown. She had been kneeling for too long this time, and her knees had become swollen, making it difficult to even walk.
After returning home, Xiuyue burst into tears. She knew early on that her daughter would definitely be in trouble if she entered the palace, but she didn't expect that the Queen Mother would be so cruel.
"Girl, I'd better go find the doctor." On the snow-white slender legs, only the knees are swollen and bruised. I'm afraid it will be even more scary tomorrow.
.
"Don't make a fuss and let Sanqi come in."
"But… "
"Just pretend this never happened."
Xiuyue knew the importance. Although she was in a girl's mood, she still obeyed and did not call the doctor. Instead, she called Sanqi.
Sanqi also looked a little solemn when she saw the scar on Gu Mingmou's knee. In fact, it was not that heavy for her. When she was training in the secret guard camp, she almost lost her life. Gu Mingmou just knelt for too long. Just hurt your knee.
Even if you don't do anything, just take a break for ten days and a half.
However, Gu Mingmou was different from her after all. She was very delicate, and the prince took her seriously. Even a cut on her finger was a big deal, not to mention hurting her knee.
And in the final analysis, the fact that she would be wronged by the Queen Mother had something to do with the prince's secret actions. Without the prince's push, the Jin Palace would not have had the opportunity to target his fiancé.
Sanqi took out her usual medicinal wine. After applying the medicine, Gu Mingmou felt pain and numbness, but she couldn't move her knees. The feeling made people never want to try again.
At this moment, she didn't have much time to think about what was going to happen next. She had offended the Queen Mother, and there were too many lice to worry about.
Because her knees hurt so much, she had no appetite. She was hungry at noon. She didn't drink a glass of milk until she came back in the afternoon. After that, she refused to eat anymore no matter how much Xiuyue persuaded her.
Seeing the little girl moaning in bed, looking like she was going to cry or not, Sanqi hesitated for a long time, and finally jumped out against the wall when no one was watching.
Sanqi suddenly appeared in the palace's annex. As soon as he appeared, he was taken to Prince Heng's study.
"Why are you here? Didn't I ask you to protect her personally?" Prince Heng looked unhappy to see Sanqi appearing here.
"For the record, Your Majesty, the young lady came back from the palace with some injuries."
Hearing this, Prince Heng's hand holding the pen suddenly paused and said in a deep voice: "Where is it hurt?"
"The injury is on my knee. I knelt for too long."
"That's it?" Prince Heng raised his eyebrows. He personally picked out Sanqi and sent it to Gu Mingmou. He knew how to measure. Is such a minor injury worth a trip in person? Maybe... the little girl wants to see him, and
Can't bear to look down
The two of them broke up on bad terms yesterday, and the little girl was wronged again in the palace, and then she finally thought of herself
The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. His aura was finally no longer so terrifying, and Sanqi breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't know how she had the courage to go to her master for such a stupid reason, but in her heart she felt that the young lady had been greatly wronged and she had to let her master know.
"You go back first."
"yes."
Although she didn't hear anything from her master, Sanqi still breathed a sigh of relief. Simply, her master didn't hold her accountable for her arrogant opinions.
Gu Mingmou didn't know yet that her subtle influence had such an amazing effect on Sanqi, so when she finally woke up after finally sleeping, she saw an extra person beside her bed.
Gu Mingmou: —o—
Shen Guiye: "..."
He flicked her little head with his finger and asked with some dissatisfaction: "What's your expression? You don't want to see me?"
Gu Mingmou hurriedly shook her head. She was just a little surprised that Prince Heng would appear here, but she quickly stopped thinking about it. She turned over and hugged his waist, buried her head in his arms, and whispered: "Isn't the prince still here?" Are you angry?"
It was okay not to mention it. She would inevitably think of Qi Lang when she mentioned Shen Guiye, but because the little girl had been wronged by the Queen Mother today, she did not take up the topic again. He raised his hand and pinched the back of her slender neck, "Does your knee still hurt?"
"It hurts!" The reply was sad and aggrieved, with tears bursting from his eyes.
Shen Guiye looked down at the little girl who was lying in his arms and still trying to look up at him. Her light-colored eyes were bright and sparkling, making him feel sour in his heart.
"I know how to act coquettishly." Shen Guiye pinched her cheek and lowered his eyes without any dissatisfaction in his tone.
He still couldn't figure out Gu Mingmou's temperament. She wasn't someone who couldn't stand being wronged, she just didn't want to be wronged in front of him. And he happened to like this.
Not everyone could be angry with him, especially when it turned out that the culprit was still her fiancé.
Thinking of the empress dowager who had always been honest with him, Shen Guiye's eyes flashed coldly. It seemed that some people thought that his life was too peaceful.
