686, the real lunatic
The second prince disappeared, Gu Qianxue lost her marriage partner, and was injured by the second prince, the old lady Gu Zheng was the one who touched the most!
With the passage of time, the surprise of having a grandson has gradually disappeared, and the insatiable human nature has been brought into full play in Zheng.
Ever since Gu Qianxue was sent back to the mansion, the Zheng family has been ready to move, and began to look for ice figures to seduce famous ladies.
If the first daughter can't do it, then she can find the concubine's daughter, if the eldest daughter can't do it, then she can find the first concubine's daughter, as for the blind and stupid like Aunt Pei, Mrs. Zheng doesn't expect to meet, after all, Gu Shangshu is not just in his youth.
Because the Zheng family offered a lot of remuneration, the icemen in the capital ran to Gu Shangshu's mansion one by one, almost breaking through the threshold.
Each Iceman brought a lot of portraits of women, some from good backgrounds but average appearance, some from poorer backgrounds but good appearance, some average appearance but talented, and some average talented but fertile. The portraits of Manfuyuan piled up like a hill.
In general, Gu Shangshu is still a popular candidate. Let’s not say that his official position is not low, only that he has outstanding appearance, outstanding talents, and his wife is a fool. With a large amount of severance pay, with this severance pay as a dowry, it is not a problem to marry into a good family.
No matter what you think, being a concubine for Gu Shangshu is not a loss-making business.
Mrs. Zheng was as busy as a top, dazzled by the portrait, but she didn't dare to let go immediately.
She is waiting for an opportunity, or Gu Qianxue gets married, or something else.
On the other side, the moment Su Lingxiao left Gu Shangshu's mansion and got into the carriage, the alienated and indifferent expression on his face disappeared.
He lowered his eyes, his thick eyelashes covered his cold eyes, and his thin lips were tightly drawn into a line.
His slender fingers looked lightly on the small table in the carriage, and the irregular tapping sound revealed his inner conflict and struggle.
Chu Yan's respectful voice came from the carriage, "Master, shall we go back?"
There was no answer from inside the car.
Su Lingxiao didn't seem to hear Chu Yan's question, but actually did.
After a long while, he sighed, "Come back, he should be here too."
"Yes." Chu Yan's eyes turned, and she said respectfully, she knew that the master expected a certain distinguished guest to arrive, otherwise shopkeeper Su would not have deliberately stayed.
The convoy started quickly and disappeared in front of Gu Shangshu's mansion.
No name.
he came.
He used to be a regular visitor, but he didn't know when he started, but he stopped taking half a step.
Since when? It seems that since Su Lingxiao and Gu Qianxue got acquainted with each other.
The two people's hearts are like mirrors, but they are both silent, tacitly not mentioning this matter.
But when he stepped into the gate of Wumingju again, when the two were about to meet, they found that it was not as embarrassing as they imagined.
At the end of spring and the beginning of summer, Su Lingxiao still lived in the Nuan Pavilion, and the earth fire dragon was completely extinguished, but all the utensils in the room had been quietly replaced with summer items, which looked cool and lively.
Li Wangjing sat in the main hall, staring blankly at the qin stand in the corner and the guqin covered with brocade curtains, as if he could see him playing the qin and she dancing.
Shopkeeper Su was left behind by Su Lingxiao to wait for the distinguished guest, but when the distinguished guest arrived, he remained silent, exuding an aura of being close to strangers and killing them all.
This stalemate atmosphere finally dissipated when Su Lingxiao returned, just like after a storm, the dark clouds faded, and the sun was as bright as if there was no thunderstorm at all.
"Are you here?" Su Lingxiao's voice was brisk, which showed that he was in a good mood because of the arrival of the distinguished guest.
King Li also forced a smile from his icy face, "Yes, it's been a long time."
Su Lingxiao's face froze for a while.
Shopkeeper Su hurriedly said with sharp eyes, "Young master, the tea is cold, and the slave is going to replace it with new tea." After speaking, he picked up the cold tea and left.
Su Lingxiao's face softened a little, "Is everything going well?"
"The fiefdom is going well, and the task entrusted by the father is also going well," Li Wang told the truth, "How about you, are you still in good health?"
"Well, everything is fine." Su Lingxiao replied.
Then, the two fell into an awkward silence again.
After a while, Wang Li said, "About Qianxue... no, it's about Gu Qianxue. Now she is in a very bad situation in the palace. Because of the loss of Concubine Xilan and the second prince, the father is a little angry at her, thinking that It was her misfortune."
Su Lingxiao immediately sneered, "The misfortune brought by Qianxue? It's such a joke, why doesn't he reflect on his incompetence and dereliction of duty?"
Even though his father was so accused and insulted, King Li was not angry at all. In other words, since Concubine Qin fell ill and was abandoned by the emperor, he had long since lost his father's place in his heart. Qianxue is wronged, but I think it is better to let her stay away from this wrong place, she should not have performed the autopsy on the dead court lady, she should let this secret remain silent."
Su Lingxiao also nodded knowingly, "Yes, it seems that a secret has been revealed, but in fact it has caused countless troubles. Not only the emperor of Nanyue Kingdom wanted to whitewash the peace, but also the emperors of every country. Qianxue's move is really unreasonable. OK."
Under his sleeves, King Li clenched his fists tightly, struggling extremely, "Ling Xiao, I want to ask you one thing."
Su Lingxiao has guessed one or two, and his heart is even heavier, "When did you use a word of begging between you and me? You want me to take Qianxue away and leave Nanyue, don't you?"
"Yes." Li Wang's breathing was disordered, he lowered his head and lowered his eyes, not wanting others to see the look in his eyes.
Su Lingxiao simply turned his back and didn't look at it, saving face for his best friend. "Are you willing to?"
Li Wang was taken aback, the tense muscles all over his body relaxed, and he laughed even more, "You know me, it's not safe to be around me, that's why I pushed her to you."
Su Lingxiao laughed, "Push it to a sick ghost who can die at any time?"
Li Wang suddenly raised his head, "Qianxue's medical skills are superb, and even far surpasses that of Yue Yue and even Bei Li. With her here, I can rest assured."
Su Lingxiao stretched out his arm, but saw that the arm was as thin as a woman's, as if the bones were covered with skin, without any muscle. "My life is just for maintenance. It's exhausted, and even the gods can't save me, so don't embarrass Qianxue."
Li Wangdao, "The people around you have not given up, why do you give up your life, I will be happy when you die? Will Qianxue be happy?"
After hearing these words, Su Lingxiao still couldn't be happy, "That's why I have been hesitating about this matter. I don't want Qianxue to be sad one day, or I hope that the person she has always liked is you, but you are by my side .” As he spoke, he raised his eyes, the gray pupils carried a faint smile, “Am I being selfish?”
King Li's face was horrified, "Su Lingxiao, are you crazy? Who can bear his own woman liking someone else."
"Me." Su Lingxiao said calmly, "Compared with death, the living are more painful. Think about it more than ten years ago, you should have a deep understanding."
