It was she, Miss Sun of Duke Shen's Mansion, Shen Zhuji, the most talented woman in the Northern Dynasties, who descended from the sky like a fairy, rescued the young master from his hands, and brought him back to the Duke's Mansion for treatment.
After that, she protected him in every possible way, so he inevitably fell in love with her. However, at that time, she had other loves in her heart and could not see him at all.
Later, when she married Emperor Zhao and became his queen, it was extremely difficult for him to see her...
Gu Jinxiu was lost in thought. His confidants came in to see him and said that someone from Fengyue Tower had sent news.
Gu Jinxiu frowned as his thoughts were forced to be withdrawn from the memories. At this time, someone was sent to deliver the news. It was only possible that something unexpected had happened.
He avoided Empress Dowager Shen and went to the side hall to meet the person who came to deliver the news. Only then did he learn that the eldest princess personally led the guards to Feng Yue Tower and asked Feng Huangye to leave.
Gu Jinxiu frowned tightly. For a eldest princess, she only had a few days to live, but she still had time to care about others. Well, that's great.
For a moment, he no longer thought about reviewing memorials and handling government affairs. He left everything behind, spoke to Queen Mother Shen, and hurriedly left the palace with others and rushed back to the eldest princess's residence.
At this time, the Grand Princess Mansion...
Yun Xi and his party had just returned from Fengyue Tower. The body was too poisoned. After walking around for a while, they felt dizzy and couldn't help but want to faint. They felt like they were about to die and their whole bodies felt extremely uncomfortable.
She leaned weakly on the chariot frame, took out a pill from the space and drank it, temporarily suppressing the poison in her body.
After a while, she finally regained her composure, waved off the guards, and personally took Feng Huangye, Feng Lingge and others to another courtyard for resettlement.
"Sister-in-law... uh, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess..."
As soon as they arrived at the other courtyard, Feng Lingge looked at Yun Xi pitifully and almost called her by the wrong name.
"Um?"
Yun Xi raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Hehe," Feng Lingge smiled sheepishly and said flatteringly, "I haven't eaten for a long time. I'm so hungry. Can you arrange something for me to eat?"
Yun Xi:…
She almost instantly remembered Feng Lingge's foodie nature, and couldn't help stroking her forehead with a headache. She could already imagine that it wouldn't be long before Feng Lingge's appetite would completely cause a sensation in the eldest princess's mansion.
After all, this stuff is really delicious.
She took off a jade pendant from her waist and handed it to Feng Lingge, "Here, take this token. If you want to eat anything, go to the kitchen and find the cook to make it."
"Thank you, Her Royal Highness, the eldest princess. The younger one will leave first."
Feng Lingge happily took the jade pendant and winked at Yun Xi with a hint of joking. The next moment, she carried the baby Zhulong and disappeared, leaving only Yun Xi and Feng Huangye.
Yun Xi's thoughts echoed in her mind, "Sister-in-law, I won't disturb your time alone with your brother."
Yun Xi:…
She raised her head and looked at Feng Huangye, and he happened to be looking at her too, his eyes indifferent and cold.
Next to the rockery in the courtyard, he stood under the long weeping willow branches. His clothes were as white as snow, his face was picturesque, and his beauty was beyond compare.
They looked at each other in silence for a while, and then Fenghuangye suddenly raised his hands and saluted Yunxi with a light and low voice.
"Thank you very much for the eldest princess's saving grace. However, Feng Huangye has nothing to offer and cannot repay the eldest princess's kindness."
"Need not… "
Yun Xi smiled without any trace, "I don't want any repayment from you. You can live here peacefully for these days. After a while, this matter will subside. If you want to leave, I will send someone to take you off."
Of course, this is just for the occasion, to comfort him. In fact, if he wants to leave after a while, it will be impossible.
Because, after entering her door, she will not let him leave again.
Feng Huangye understood rationally that she had already said this, so if he was smart, he would just have to comply without saying anything else. Even if it was to whitewash the peace, he could get a short period of time under her protection. peaceful.
But he still couldn't control it. He was silent for a moment and said in confusion, "Why?"
Without waiting for Yun Xi to respond, he said to himself, "The eldest princess should know that it is the regent's order to demote Feng Huangye to the Fengyue Tower? Why are you helping me and going against the regent?"
Could it be that she had a little admiration for him when she was young
Feng Huangye didn't believe this reason. She had already married Gu Jinxiu, and she and Gu Jinxiu had a deep love for each other. How could the weak and ridiculous feelings in her youth make her go against her loving husband
"Well," Yun Xi thought for a while and said slowly, "if I have to ask why, it is that I simply feel that Gu Jinxiu's approach is inappropriate, and I don't agree with it. I fell ill a few days ago. He is so powerful that he is powerless to take care of this matter, otherwise, I will definitely not let him deal with your Feng family like this."
"Feng Huangye, don't think too much and have a good rest here for a few days. I will send someone to deal with Prime Minister Feng's matter."
After settling Fenghuang Ye, Yun Xi had several maids and servants sent over for him to take care of, and then returned to the bedroom to rest.
She returned to the bedroom with her front legs, while Gu Jin repaired her back legs and returned to the house.
The confidants in the mansion saw him coming back and reported to him the betrayal of the housekeeper and the nanny. As soon as he heard that these two people had been betrayed, Gu Jinxiu had a bad premonition in his heart.
These two people are both old people from the eldest princess's house. They have followed her since she was a princess until now. How could she betray someone so suddenly when she was so good
Could it be that she noticed something
The more he thought about it, the darker Gu Jinxiu's face became.
After going to Yun Xi's bedroom and seeing her resting, Gu Jinxiu suddenly stopped and looked at the woman on the bed seriously.
He still had the same stunning facial features as before, but his cheeks were frighteningly pale, his eye sockets were sunken, and his lips were dark green. No matter how he looked, he looked like he was about to die soon, with an air of death.
Indeed, she wouldn't live much longer.
Thinking of this, Gu Jinxiu's eyes couldn't help but soften, and even the corners of his lips curled up slightly, as if his mood instantly improved.
He walked over and sat on the sandalwood stool beside the bed, looking at her with unclear eyes.
"You came."
On the bed, Yun Xi suddenly opened her eyes and looked at him coldly.
She had noticed it as early as the first time he came in, but she was just mentally weak and didn't want to pay much attention to him.
But he actually sat next to her and stared at her. Yun Xi couldn't sleep immediately. Not everyone could see her sleeping state.
"Princess, I heard that you went to Fengyue Tower and took Feng Huangye away and placed him in the mansion."
Gu Jinxiu's voice was low and gentle, with a hint of softness, and there was no hint of aggression at all. Therefore, to others, they would only think that he was just casually chatting with Yun Xi and was not here to ask for guilt.
