Jian Yu, who had changed after returning home, was wearing a princess court dress and a golden phoenix hairpin made of hollow gold wire. Her eyebrows and eyes were simply painted, making her look beautiful and solemn.
Jian Yu did not dress down. This time she entered the palace was different from the past. She represented Princess Jing, and she had to compete with Duke Ning in front of the emperor!
Princess Jing can be weak, but she must not show cowardice. Being submissive and timid is definitely not what the emperor wants to see. While the emperor gives her face because of Prince Jing, she must also be able to hold herself up.
After Jian Yu entered the imperial study room, the emperor had not yet arrived. Eunuch Lin asked the eunuch to put the chairs while the maid served tea and cakes.
This attitude was obviously the emperor's instruction.
Mrs. Gu didn't expect this. She just stared at Jian Yu's arrogant expression and thought angrily in her heart, does this look like someone who made a mistake and came to apologize for it? Go ahead and be arrogant! Later the emperor came to see her and she was still smiling.
Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu's mind moved slightly. If the emperor comes over later, Princess Jing will definitely restrain herself or not fall into the trap. It is better for her to go to the fire now. Although the emperor is not in the palace, these servants guarding her are all The eyes of the emperor!
If something happens, the emperor will naturally know about it!
Thinking of this, Mrs. Gu was about to speak, but unexpectedly Jian Yu struck first.
Originally, Jian Yu wasn't panicking. Seeing Eunuch Lin's attitude, she knew what the emperor was like. She knew better. When she looked up and saw Mrs. Gu opposite her, her eyes rolling around, she knew that this man didn't mean anything good.
"Old Mrs. Gu still has the nerve to complain? What? Do you think this princess is wrong?"
There was no need to provoke at all, Jian Yu's explosive words were directed at Mrs. Gu.
This made Mrs. Gu's original words choked in her throat. Princess Jing still had such an attitude when she came to the imperial study room. She really is not afraid of those who don't know!
According to Mrs. Gu's assumption, when Princess Jing came to the emperor, she would definitely explain that it was an unintentional mistake at the banquet, and she could not be as domineering as she was at the banquet.
Mrs. Gu had already thought about how she would reply if Jian Yu spoke like this, and how she would speak so that the fault would fall on Princess Jing. However, the result was completely opposite to what she thought, and Princess Jing did not change her attitude!
"Princess Jing has many misunderstandings about Lao Shen! She will explain it clearly when she comes to the Emperor."
After finishing speaking, Ning Guogong, who was sitting next to Mrs. Gu, answered the conversation. He said in a somewhat angry tone: "My lord enshrines the Gu family's tablet. The Emperor and Queen Mother didn't say anything. It's not Princess Jing's turn to condemn!"
In the Imperial Study Room, there is no need for officials to meet each other, they only need to serve the emperor. Therefore, when they saw Princess Jing coming, neither Mrs. Gu nor Ning Guogong got up to greet her.
Ning Guogong knew that if Princess Jing were to implement her words today, all the face he had gained in the capital over the years would be lost. Not only that, the people who once gave him face because of the Gu family may no longer be there in the future.
Why did Ning Guogong, who was usually a good man, choke Jian Yu at this moment? It was because he knew in his heart what consequences what the other party said at the banquet today would have on them!
Ning Guogong was angry that Mrs. Gu had caused trouble, and he was even more angry that Jian Yu, a person who became Princess Jing because of the death of Prince Jing, actually talked so openly about the affairs of their Gu family. She was just an outsider!
Therefore, nothing can be said today to keep Princess Jing safe, otherwise Duke Ningguo’s palace will be in trouble!
As a couple sleeping together, Ning Guogong saw what his wife was thinking. Seeing that his wife seemed to be being suppressed before she could speak, Ning Guogong hurriedly helped her speak.
The emperor knew about his attitude and was not afraid. He was devoted to the Gu family, but Princess Jing said that, so he should be angry.
"So what you got is not enough? In addition, this princess is not condemning, but stating the facts. Which sentence wrongly accuses you?"
"Guarding the hilltops left by our ancestors, but living without enough to eat, isn't this a broken settlement?"
After saying this, Jian Yu snorted contemptuously at Ning Guogong. No matter what she said or her expression, she clearly looked down upon him.
Ning Guogong's chest heaved violently with anger, and he looked at Jian Yu angrily with wide eyes. He was very angry.
"Princess Jing, we are all relatives. How can you be so outrageous? If we had the same attitude as you, we would call you a widow."
Midway through speaking, Mrs. Gu stopped. Her face turned pale and she looked at the door. She didn't see the emperor, and she felt relieved.
It is true that husbands call someone a widow when someone dies, but calling her Princess Jing in this way would be disrespectful to Prince Jing, whose body is still cold. Some officials had previously suggested sending new generals to Bianbei, without even mentioning that Prince Jing was dead. The emperor took down the opponent's official position to the end!
Mrs. Gu's heart was beating so fast that she felt like she was about to let out trouble!
Looking at the smile on Princess Jing's face again, Mrs. Gu broke into a cold sweat behind her back. She almost hit her!
I had been planning to anger Princess Jing, but now I was almost angered by her! Mrs. Gu tugged on Ning Guogong's sleeve and signaled him to stop talking and wait until the emperor came over!
If Princess Jing has this attitude then, it will be beneficial to them!
The couple looked at each other and remained silent.
It's just that Mrs. Gu's heart was a little uneasy. After realizing that the smile on Princess Jing's face had not faded, she felt a little cold. At this time, a thought suddenly flashed in her mind. Was Princess Jing planning something from the beginning? she? !
I have to tell Mrs. Gu the truth, but it was not at the beginning, but when Mrs. Gu started to stab her, Jian Yu had a plan in mind.
Regarding her own business, she needs to find a big backer.
The person that Jian Yu was eyeing was the current emperor. Originally, this was just an idea of hers. But when the matter of Mrs. Gu came out, Jian Yu decided to follow the trend. It happened that she had some changes in her personality in front of the emperor. , otherwise according to the impression I left in front of the emperor, it will be too easy to overturn in the future!
Mrs. Gu thinks she is a hunter, but she is actually the prey without knowing it.
Mrs. Gu, who was sitting on the chair, looked surprised and uncertain. At this time, the young eunuch's report came from outside the door.
——The Emperor has arrived!

In Prince Jing's Mansion, Zhou Jinyan was in the room looking at a stack of letters collected from General Zhenguo's study. It was because of these letters that he did not dodge the hidden weapon.
I checked the contents of the letter and found no abnormalities in half of it. They were all letters written by Mrs. Zhang when General Zhenguo was away at war a few years ago. There was no useful information about the family.
These letters were placed in a secret compartment in the dark room and were hidden as tightly as possible. There was no way there would be no problems! Zhou Jinyan continued to scroll down.
At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and Wei Bai walked in.
"Master, do you know about the princess?"
"What's going on with Mrs. Ning Guogong? I know." Zhou Jinyan continued to look through the envelope without raising his head. There was no way this matter would cause trouble.
"Master, what I just heard is much bigger than what you said!"
Wei Bai saw that his master had not received any news from the secret guard, so he quickly reported it carefully.
After hearing the content clearly, Zhou Jinyan put down the letter in his hand, stood up suddenly and said in surprise: "What?!"
