Gu Chen didn't understand why things turned out like this just after he said a few words to Mr. Wang from the Punishment Department. He had heard a lot along the way, and the boy who was accompanying him also told him about it. What happened, but the boy didn't see the exciting scene just now, he just said that Miss Shen was missing.
When Gu Chen saw Shen Rou kneeling in front of Gu Li, he was a little confused, so he asked this question.
Gu Li turned her head and smiled slightly: "Nothing, sister Shen Rou wants me to take her as my concubine."
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment. When he heard what it meant, the eldest brother of the Gu family, who had always been gentle, became angry and said angrily: "Nonsense! When did you get married and what kind of concubine did you take?"
Gu Li also sneered: "Oh, yes, brother, I don't know when I got married, but sister Shen Rou knows."
Gu Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked down at Shen Rou who was kneeling on the ground, and then realized that he should ask what happened.
"Xiao Rou? What are you..." Gu Chen saw Shen Rou, whose hair was still a bit messy even though she had tidied it up. If he looked carefully, he could still see the reddish kiss mark on her slender neck, even though it had never been Gu Chen, who was married to a wife, immediately realized what had happened. His first reaction was to turn his head and look at Gu Li. He was relieved when he found that Gu Li only had a cold expression and nothing else was wrong.
However, before Gu Chen had finished breathing, he heard Shen Rou raise her head, her pale and embarrassed face full of begging and shame: "Brother, it's all my fault. Mr. Yun and I made a mistake that I'm sorry for, sister." I don't ask for anything else, I just ask my sister to forgive me. I am very happy with Mr. Yun. In this life, I will not marry anyone other than Mr. Yun. I ask for my brother's approval and my sister's approval."
Gu Li was speechless. Shen Rou was really good at acting. She didn't even say a few words, but she acted right here. She even owed her an Oscar.
"Yun Yi?" Gu Chen's mind recalled the young man who brought his own dowry to propose marriage that day. Although he was indeed a talented person, his identity was mysterious and he was friends with the prince, but it seemed that even the prince did not dare to touch him. Gu Chen felt that this person was too complicated, so he did not agree to his marriage to Gu Li.
But Gu Chen knew that Gu Li treated this man differently than others, and according to Shen Rou, could the person inside the curtain actually be Yun Yi? If it was really him, then Gu Li would never be able to be with such a person.
"What happened?" Just as Gu Chen's mind was spinning over and over again, a clear and beautiful voice came. Everyone looked at it and saw a noble woman in palace attire. She looked to be in her forties, but She is extremely well maintained, her skin is smooth and shiny, and she turns out to be the Empress Dowager De.
Princess Mingzhu was a little strange. Normally, Aunt Rong should have just arrived at the entrance of the palace. Why did Concubine De come so quickly?
What Princess Mingzhu didn't know was that it was the second prince who notified Concubine De in advance and asked her to come quickly when she saw people from the princess's residence entering the palace, and to settle the matter before the Empress arrived. Therefore, Concubine De did not Aunt Rong stopped her for questioning, but she didn't know that the man inside had been replaced by Prince Yu, the second prince, and she still thought it was Yun Yi.
Gu Li was a little confused at first, frowning and thinking carefully in her mind, then smiled, her face calm, watching the melon getting bigger and bigger.
Seeing Concubine De coming, everyone stood up and saluted, while Concubine De stood dignifiedly at the door. She didn't know what she heard from the maid just now, so she said: "Our country of Daqian is a country of etiquette. After such a scandal, I naturally have to give an explanation to Miss Shen. Although Mr. Yun's identity...but Miss Shen is the only daughter of General Shen. The general has been in the army for half his life. No matter what, I will do my best to serve the country for Miss Shen. Justice."
These words were righteous. If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Gu Li would have clapped her hands and applauded, but at this time, it was not possible because she was trying hard to hold back her laughter.
Mrs. Shen was a little shocked at this time. She never thought that her daughter, who had lived in the countryside since she was a child, would have the ability to ask Empress Dowager De to speak for her? How many things about Xiaorou do she not know? Could it be that his daughter actually had the ability to get involved in the matter of seizing the legitimate son?
As she thought about it, Mrs. Shen's back was already wet with cold sweat.
"Mrs. Shen, don't be afraid. After all, I am still in charge of the royal family. Mr. Yun must marry Miss Shen today." Seeing the change in Mrs. Shen's expression, Concubine De thought that Mrs. Shen was afraid that Shen Rou's matter would not end, so she quickly comforted her.
"I think Mr. Yun may not be willing to marry Miss Shen." A cold voice came out. Concubine De looked up in surprise, only to see a young girl standing in front of Shen Rou. When she came in just now, Shen Rou was Kneel down for her.
The matter of Yun Yi marrying into his wife caused a storm in the city, and Concubine De naturally heard about it. Seeing the extraordinary bearing of the girl in front of her, she knew that this was the person Yun Yi wanted to marry into. She sneered and said: "How dare you contradict me? If so, come on, slap me!"
As soon as Concubine De finished speaking, a nun walked out from behind Concubine De. She raised her hand to slap her down, but was stopped by Princess Mingzhu. The princess bowed and stepped forward, saying, "Concubine De, when she comes to Mingzhu, please return the favor." I'm going to hit someone without saying a few words. I'm afraid it's inappropriate if my father knows about it, right? Moreover, Miss Gu is the person that Young Master Yun Yi cares about the most. If Young Master Yun Yi finds out..."
Yun Yi's status is much nobler than that of a concubine from the Little Daqian Kingdom. Even a concubine named Virtue would not dare to offend Yun Yi at will.
Concubine De was used to being domineering in the palace, but she had to bow her head at this moment: "This person refuted me casually, without being polite, and without any rules. That's all, for the sake of Master Yun Yi, I will let him go temporarily. Her. Don't think that you can do whatever you want because you have Master Yun Yi's attention. You are not Master Yun Yi's wife yet. I'm afraid you are not qualified to interfere with who he wants to marry. Even Master Yun Yi must be responsible for what he has done."
"What do I have to be responsible for?" A voice suddenly sounded in the crowd. When Shen Rou heard the voice, her brain exploded and she almost screamed, but she still forced herself to raise her head. , and suddenly saw Yun Yi, neatly dressed, standing in the crowd, being supported by his entourage.
At this time, there seemed to be a sound coming from behind the thick curtains, and the people inside woke up. After a while, a pair of hands stretched out from behind the curtains and opened the curtains. Then, everyone saw that the second prince was wearing a coat. walked out.
It seemed that he was still drunk and was a little unsteady. He took two steps forward and was about to fall. He did not fall because a servant helped him. The moment he saw De Fei, he woke up from the wine. .
This scene was really familiar. It was something he had deduced countless times in his mind. The only difference was that he didn't expect that he was actually the leading actor.
Concubine De knew that something bad had happened since Yun Yi appeared. However, before she could cover up the matter, the second prince woke up at this moment and walked out, letting everyone see him. What kind of jade pendant is more convincing?
Such evidence is irrefutable, so everyone's eyes turned to Concubine De. She had the highest status here. How to deal with this matter should be decided by Concubine De.
"It seems that Miss Shen mistakenly recognized His Highness the Second Prince for me. It's no wonder that an innocent young lady should not be able to recognize people when she suddenly encounters such a disaster. But next time, you have to look carefully. Don't blame me for everything and ruin my reputation. If my Li'er finds out, I won't die unjustly." Yun Yi looked at Shen who collapsed on the ground and Huangfu Yu, whose expression changed greatly, and mocked.
As he spoke, he did not forget to cast a flirtatious look in Gu Li's direction.
He already had a face that brought disaster to the country and the people. This charming look almost made the young lady behind Gu Li faint, but Gu Li gave him a cold look, as if to warn him.
"Ah, by the way, although this matter has nothing to do with me, but, Concubine De, how do you think this matter should be handled? Oh, by the way, when I was drinking with His Highness Prince Jade just now, His Highness Prince Jade It seems that there is a princess. I wonder if the princess is willing to forgive Miss Shen." Yun Yi dusted off the non-existent dust on his body in a leisurely manner, with an expression as if he was watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal.
Empress De Fei, who was used to seeing wind and rain, was a little panicked at this time. Yu'er had clearly agreed with her before that she would seek justice after the incident and make Yun Yi responsible for Shen Rou. She came in a hurry, completely following Yu'er's instructions. I did what my son said, but I didn't know that something like this would happen.
The second prince was even more panicked. He had previously talked to Yun Yi about Gu Li, talking about how to make Yun Yi marry Gu Li to increase Yun Yi's favorability, and then he tried his best to persuade Yun Yi to drink, and then completely drunk Yun Yi. After getting drunk, he personally took Yun Yi to the guest room at the back of the princess mansion.
But what happened next? Why couldn't he remember it? Were the marks on Shen Rou's body really left by him? Why can't he remember anything?
But the most panicked person was not the second prince, mother and son. The most panicked person was Shen Rou on the ground. She felt that all the strength in her body had dissipated in an instant. It was over, it was over.
Just now she was showing her deep love for Master Yun Yi, but the person inside was actually the second prince. Just now she was saying that she was in love with Yun Yi and would not marry him but for him, but now she discovered that the other party was the second prince. Although the second prince most likely did not hear those words, the ladies and ladies present could hear them clearly. .
Will the second prince marry a woman who has another man in her heart? Now that I have messed up my mission and brought such trouble to His Highness the Second Prince, I feel extremely desperate. I am afraid that I will not see the sun tomorrow.
The second prince was even more aggrieved. He knew that Shen Rou truly loved Yun Yi. If he married such a woman by himself, wouldn't it be like marrying a cuckold? He would be the laughing stock of the entire royal family.
