Chapter 115 You only deserve to be a concubine!
"Your Highness, Miss Zhu'er is the last surviving member of the Northern Desert royal family!"
"Then? Why? Why did the Empress allow Miss Zhu'er to enter the palace?!"
After exchanging pleasantries in the Empress's palace, the Crown Prince left Qinrou Palace with his personal guards.
Inside the carriage, the guard Mei Ziye was still in shock at the fact that she had witnessed Zhu'er entering the palace.
Mei Ziye sorted through the secret report and continued.
"What if? What if Miss Zhu'er becomes my emperor's woman? Wouldn't that disrupt the established order?!"
"Hmph! That woman has lost her mind, what does she care about etiquette?!" Qing Tingyu's eyes were dark, and his words were sarcastic.
"Your Highness! Based solely on the crime of colluding with the enemy and disrupting the country, the Lin family should be exterminated along with their entire clan!" Mei Ziye slammed her fist on the table in righteous indignation.
"Hmm~ Ziye is absolutely right!" Qing Tingyu casually agreed, but his expression grew increasingly grim.
Meanwhile, Plum Leaf was engrossed in the charges against the Roeling family;
He kept reciting to the Crown Prince the documents detailing the Lin family's heinous crimes, without even looking up to observe his boss's expression!
"Your Highness, the Crown Princess has come to pay her respects!"
Outside the carriage, Mei Zifeng stopped the carriage and reported the situation to the Crown Prince.
Gui Ningzhi stood in the bone-chilling snow and mist, wrapped in a fox fur cloak for warmth, her nose tip red from the cold.
She caught the hot breath she exhaled with both hands, and only dared to step into the carriage with the help of the palace guards.
"Greetings, Your Highness!" Upon seeing that the visitor was Gui Jia's daughter, Mei Ziye tactfully withdrew.
Qing Tingyu was resting with his eyes closed, showing no intention of inviting Gui Ningzhi.
Gui Ningzhi stood frozen, speechless, not daring to utter a sound that might disturb her husband's sweet dream.
Looking at the handsome young man opposite her, who seemed like an immortal, Gui Ningzhi felt no resentment at all; she only thought that her husband was truly good-looking.
Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisitely sculpted, and even the wrinkles on her skin seemed to possess a unique charm, making her extremely alluring.
Qing Tingyu naturally knew that the woman was infatuated again;
Is the prime minister's daughter, who's both infatuated and idiotic, really fit to sit on the throne of empress?!
I suppose I only became your concubine because of the Prime Minister!
Qing Tingyu became increasingly confused as she thought about it, so she simply opened her eyes.
Shivering from the cold, Gui Ningzhi was so frightened by the Crown Prince's probing gaze that she started sneezing!
"Haa~ yawn~ yawn!!"
"Your Highness, I didn't mean to disturb your sweet dreams!" Gui Ningzhi covered her nose and carefully observed Qing Tingyu's expression.
"Hmm~ My child, from now on, don't cause any misunderstandings!"
"Huh?!" the child exclaimed, puzzled.
"When did I ever promise you the position of Crown Princess?!"
Qing Tingyu's sarcastic command caused Gui Ningzhi a sharp pain in her heart. She bowed respectfully and said:
"It was my foolishness that led me to this position. Thank you for your guidance, Your Highness!"
"Then? What status does the Crown Prince want for Zhi'er to enter the Eastern Palace?!" Gui Ningzhi still pressed on, unwilling to give up.
"How about a concubine?!" Qing Tingyu coldly gave the order, but her face was full of charming smiles.
Gui Ningzhi truly couldn't understand why a person's words and actions could be so drastically different at the same time.
She looked closely at her husband, whose face was covered with a bit of bluish stubble, and confirmed that he had a sweet, indulgent smile on his face.
But why? Why?! The words spoken were so heartless?!
"What do you mean?! You don't want the position of concubine?!" Qing Tingyu interrupted Gui Ningzhi's thoughts.
"none!!"
"I'm happy with anything the Crown Prince gives me!"
Hearing these heartfelt words, Qing Tingyu was extremely annoyed: "Hmm, take a seat!"
Gui Ningzhi sat in the seat that His Highness the Crown Prince had bestowed upon her out of pity, her heart filled with a mix of emotions.
She secretly glanced at her husband, who had closed his eyes again.
Inside the empty carriage, the deathly silence grew even more palpable, making one feel uneasy!
The beggar is about to see his elder brother. He wonders how his brother is doing?
Gui Ningzhi's thoughts: I'm not a fangirl!
He's not an idiot!
I'm just thinking of my husband and my family!
……
"Child? Child?!" Gui Ning'an, who was holding historical records, was summoned to Tingyu Palace by his personal guards for questioning!
"Waaaaah, brother, I miss you so much, brother!"
Gui Ningzhi threw herself into her brother's arms, crying out, "Waaah~ Brother!"
"Alright! My dear child, your brother lost his temper that night, please don't blame him!"
Gui Ning'an gently comforted her younger sister, her eyes filled with heartache: "Don't cry, His Highness the Crown Prince is still here! Don't lose face!"
"Haha, it's alright!"
"Ning'an, you have been in the palace for quite some time now. I have received my father's decree to grant you permission to leave the palace and spend a few more days with your families!"
With a broad mind, Qing Tingyu opened his mouth and, by taking advantage of his father's authority, easily drove away this eyesore!
"Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!"
"Thank you for your grace, Your Highness!!" Gui Ning'an's heart tightened upon hearing this indirect order of expulsion.
"Your Highness, may I bid General Luo a proper farewell?"
"Tsk tsk tsk~ What kind of talk is this, Lord Gui?!"
"Since I am not imprisoning General Luo, why can't I take my leave?!"
"Someone, summon General Luo to the palace!"
Qianqianluo is hunting pheasants and catching rabbits with the other guards in the back mountain of the East Palace!
After receiving the order, Qianqianlu appeared in Tingyu Palace with a resentful expression, seeing off by the other guards!
"May His Highness the Crown Prince be well! May all his noble sons and daughters be well!"
After Qing Tingyu spotted a very familiar slender figure inside the hall, a cold smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"General Luo, Lord Gui may be living outside the palace from now on. You should all take good care of him and catch up with him!"
Qianqian tied up the wild rabbits she had caught in the back mountain, stuffed them all into Gui Ning'an's hands, and then ran off towards Qing Tingyu with lightning speed.
"Hahaha~ Your Highness is joking. What old feelings could there be between men?!"
"Lord Gui! Quickly take the Crown Princess out of the palace and reunite with her!"
"Young Master Luo!"
Gui Ningzhi looked at the once lively Mr. Yuan, whose face now bore some unsettling bite marks, and felt her mind was in complete turmoil.
"Zhi'er, let's go!" Gui Ning'an grabbed Gui Ningzhi, who was about to investigate, and dragged her away.
"Brother, Young Master Luo, Young Master Luo is injured!"
“Brother!!!”
"In Lord Gui's heart, you are still no match for his own flesh and blood relatives!"
"So what if you're disfigured? Why does Lord Gui despise you so much?!"
Qing Tingyu pulled the person behind him into his arms and spoke to them gently and persuasively, hurting them without them even realizing it.
"Your Highness, I have heard that a mere maiden has caught the Emperor's eye and has become a concubine?!"
Unable to bear being pinched by Qing Tingyu, Qianqianlu quickly changed the subject.
"Hmph! So what if it is?! So what if it isn't?!"
"Don't provoke me, or I might accidentally use too much force and kill you all!"
After Qianqianluo easily exposed Qingtingyu's deep-seated troubles, his eyes instantly turned bloodshot.
