The emperor's eyes fell on Gu Beichen, "Is there anything else, brother?"
Gu Beichen then raised his eyes and said, "Of course, now that the emperor's nephew has done something like this, it's hard for the uncle to pretend that nothing happened."
While speaking, Gu Beichen did not forget to shake his head and sigh, really looking like an elder who was worried about his juniors.
"I will handle this matter myself."
The emperor was not willing to let Gu Beichen get involved in this matter, and his words had a hint of expelling guests.
However, Gu Beichen acted as if he didn't understand, "After all, this matter also involves the Zhenguo Palace. The emperor has many things to deal with. It would be best if my brother can help share such small things."
Hearing this, the emperor felt a flash of displeasure flash across his eyes. He didn't believe that Gu Beichen couldn't understand what he meant. This kind of behavior obviously made him relent.
"Although Shen'er made a mistake, it is really not a big deal. What's more, he was also injured because of it. As long as he has a longer memory, this matter can be turned around."
Since Gu Beichen wanted to know his attitude, he said this.
"Brother Emperor, are you preparing to turn a major event into a trivial one?"
The emperor raised his brows unconsciously, "Otherwise."
Gu Beichen sneered, and the emperor added, "What's more, isn't the young lady from the Zhenguo Duke's mansion safe and sound?"
As soon as he said this, Gu Beichen stood up and said, "Indeed, nothing has happened yet, but this time they bumped into each other by chance. If no one finds out, does the emperor think there is still room for redemption?"
It was rare to see Gu Beichen so excited because of something, so the emperor's eyes actually added a bit of smile, "In the worst case, I will issue an order to send her to the second prince's residence."
Listening to the emperor's light words, Gu Beichen lowered his eyes, "But what if she already has someone she likes?"
Only then did the emperor speak up. He did hear someone's name from their mouths just now, but he didn't take it to heart.
"My son can't compare to those people outside!"
The scene just now made the emperor completely lose his patience. As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes with warm anger fell on Gu Beichen.
"Don't forget, you are my imperial brother!"
"Of course." Gu Beichen smiled and did not continue speaking. He just bowed his hands to the emperor and withdrew.
When he left the palace gate, Gu Beichen raised his hand and called Qingfeng over.
“It seems like the January period is approaching these days.”
Qingfeng instantly understood what Gu Beichen meant, bowed and retreated.
Gu Beichen opened the carriage curtain and looked at the palace gate in front of him. He unconsciously raised his lips. It seemed that there was too much peace in the capital after all.
Zhenguogongfu
An Ruowan still did not return home this time. Instead, she followed Song Li and Song Xunchuan to the Zhenguo Palace. Seeing that her grandfather and grandmother were still here to worry about them at such an old age, An Ruowan couldn't help but feel her nose. acid.
The two people following her were stunned, but they quickly came forward with smiles on their faces.
"Stop standing here, let's talk about it after we get back."
Song Li stepped forward to support her grandmother, while Song Xunchuan came to his grandfather and leaned down to salute.
The family entered the house like this. Grandma looked at Song Li as if she was hesitant to speak, but in the end she didn't ask anything.
After helping the two of them sit down in the lobby, Song Li knelt in front of them.
"My granddaughter is unfilial and has brought shame on the government."
As soon as she finished speaking, her grandmother was about to step forward to help her up, but unexpectedly, Song Li dodged her.
"Let my granddaughter kneel down."
Even if it wasn't for Gu Qishen's matter this time, it was also for Zhao Mingkang's matter.
An Ruowan saw what Song Li wanted to say and came to her grandmother, "My cousin is in the palace today..."
As An Ruowan finished speaking, Song Yuanzhi's expression softened a bit, "No matter what your reason is, get up now."
Song Li was helped to stand up by the maid beside him, "Cousin, everything today is all thanks to you, thank you very much."
Seeing this, An Ruowan quickly stopped Song Li.
"If our family still pays attention to these things, then next time something like this happens, my cousin should not talk to me."
After An Ruowan finished speaking, the atmosphere in the lobby finally relaxed.
Not long after, I saw the housekeeper coming outside the door in a hurry, "Prince Rong is outside."
"please come in."
When Song Yuanzhi spoke, the housekeeper withdrew, and not long after, he saw Gu Beichen striding over.
As he appeared, Song Li seemed to remember another thing, "Prince Rong..."
Before Song Li could speak, she saw a figure behind Gu Beichen, who was the person she had longed for.
However, there were other people in the lobby, so Song Li couldn't do anything too much. However, when she noticed the injuries on Zhao Mingkang's body that could not be concealed and his limping movements, she still didn't. Resist coming to him.
"You are hurt?"
Zhao Mingkang's eyes fell on Song Li with tenderness, "I'm fine, I made you worry."
Even so, Song Li still felt uneasy. Before she could continue, Zhao Mingkang bowed to the two people sitting in the upper seat in a serious manner.
"I have met Duke Zhen Guo and his wife."
Hearing this, Song Licai suddenly calmed down, put away the worry in his eyes and stepped aside.
"Long time no see."
Song Yuanzhi was the first to speak, but there was a hint of displeasure in his tone. After all, the way Song Li looked at him was too obvious, so how could he not understand.
"Now that I have come to visit you again, I look like this. I hope the Duke of Zhen will forgive me."
As he spoke, Zhao Mingkang lowered his head lower, but Song Yuanzhi did not let him get up.
"This appearance is indeed indecent, so what happened!"
Hearing the questioning in Song Yuanzhi's words, Song Li subconsciously prepared to step forward to explain to Zhao Mingkang what was going on, but was stopped by An Ruowan.
"cousin……"
Before Song Li could finish what he said, Song Yuanzhi glared in this direction. He didn't know when the brat in front of him had stolen Song Li's heart, and the expression on his face became increasingly ugly.
"Master Zhenguo, please calm down. Today is really a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstand?"
Song Yuanzhi wanted to hear what this matter was like from Zhao Mingkang's mouth.
"The young man was very fond of Miss Song, but he didn't want to be treated as a hostage by the second prince to threaten Miss Song. That's why today's farce happened."
After listening to Zhao Mingkang's explanation, Song Yuanzhi was obviously not satisfied and continued to ask: "Where is the misunderstanding!"
"The second prince should not threaten his life."
This time, without waiting for Song Yuanzhi to speak further, Zhao Mingkang continued, "If possible, Xiaosheng is willing to sacrifice his life to keep the young lady safe and sound!"
He said these words with great assurance and it was not like he said them casually.
"Okay, get up."
I thought that Song Yuanzhi would not be convinced by such words, but contrary to everyone's expectations, he actually asked Zhao Mingkang to stand up, but then he added another sentence.
"If you are a man, let me take a good look at how you will keep your promise."
