On the second day, we went to Zuixianglou.
Gu Ruowan was in a state of confusion, not knowing what would happen today. Seeing her brother sitting there looking indifferent, she felt uncomfortable.
Even though I knew in my heart that I couldn't blame my brother for these things, I still couldn't help but feel unhappy for my best friend.
"Brother, when the two princesses arrive later, you have to explain it clearly to them. They have been my good sisters for so many years, and I don't want to see them get hurt!"
Gu Ruowan shook her head helplessly. Emotional matters cannot be forced, and she cannot force her brother to like Chu Shu.
I can only explain everything clearly today. I just hope that Chu Shu will not be hurt and can start her relationship again after getting the answer.
"How dare I be disrespectful to the princess? I am very grateful for Princess Shu's affection, but I really can't accept it."
Gu Xiao nodded, even if it was for the sake of his sister, he would not hurt his feelings. He was really grateful to be able to receive sincerity from others, but he was really unwilling to accept it.
"That's good."
Gu Ruowan felt that this could only be the case, and Chu Shu would actually meet a better person in the future.
"elder sister."
On the carriage leaving the palace, Chu Shu held Chu Xin's hand worriedly. She felt too nervous to fall asleep last night and only fell asleep in a daze in the middle of the night.
Now we are on the way out of the palace, and my heart is about to jump out of my chest.
She didn't know what to do. She really didn't know what to say. She had prepared her words, but suddenly she forgot them all. What should she do? What should she do?
"Don't be afraid, don't be nervous. Today is not a big deal. I will always be by your side, and Ruowan is also there."
Chu Xin comforted her softly and reached out to pat Chu Shu's hand.
She knew that Chu Shu would definitely be nervous, but she had to go through what happened today. She finally had such an opportunity to leave the palace, and she must not waste it.
"I know that you have kept everything you want to say in your heart, and you will naturally say it when the time comes. This is really not a big deal. Instead, this is an explanation of your feelings for so many years. Only after the explanation can you truly Get a new life and no longer indulge in it.”
Chu Xin persuaded her sincerely. She didn't want Chu Shu to cry every day because of these things. Only when they were completely resolved would she feel completely relaxed.
"Um."
Chu Shu nodded and held on to give herself strength. Her sister already cared about her so much. If she couldn't hold herself up, it would be too useless.
My sister is right. This time she just gave an explanation for her feelings for so many years. Maybe after she finished explaining, she really let go of it completely?
After getting off the carriage and arriving outside Zuixiang Building, Chu Shu held Chu Xin's hand worriedly, her whole body felt weak, as if she didn't dare to walk in.
She felt like she was timid again. Whenever she met Gu Xiao, she would always shrink back subconsciously.
"Don't be afraid. Today's events must be experienced. You must give yourself a good explanation."
Chu Xin didn't let Chu Shu flinch, she directly grabbed her hand and strode in.
As soon as Gu Ruowan heard the knock on the door outside, she knew that it was the two princesses coming.
"Brother, please don't say too harsh things later. They are my good sisters, and I will definitely help them!"
Before opening the door, Gu Ruowan reminded her in a low voice that she didn't want the relationship between the two parties to get too ugly.
On one side was his good sister for many years, and on the other was his brother. He would not be happy if either side was hurt.
After receiving a nod in response, Gu Ruowan went over and opened the door with confidence, but she never thought that the people who came in were not Chu Xin and Chu Shu, but Chu Yan.
"why you?"
Gu Ruowan was stunned immediately and asked in a bad tone. She never thought that she could see Chu Yan here.
What on earth is going on? How could Chu Xin and Chu Shu not come here yet? Did they go to the wrong room?
"Miss Gu, can you let me go in and take shelter?"
Chu Yan asked with an aggrieved look on her face. While asking, she glanced behind her in fear, as if someone was chasing her.
"What's wrong with the princess? Why are you here alone?"
Gu Xiao immediately came over worriedly and asked softly. He never thought that he would see Chu Yan here, and his heart suddenly boiled.
Gu Ruowan had no choice but to let Chu Yan come in first. After entering, she glanced outside the door several times, but still didn't see Chu Xin and Chu Yan. Where were the two of them?
"Mr. Gu," Chu Yan looked up at Gu Xiao shyly, and then quickly looked away.
She couldn't explain exactly what she felt in her heart at the moment. She only felt a little happy and a little shy.
When I got this news from Chu Yi, everyone was shocked. I never thought that Gu Xiao would really like her!
In fact, she was very happy, really happy.
"Sister Yi likes to eat the roasted goose from Zuixianglou, so I went out of the palace to buy it myself. However, when I was about to go out, I met a few crazy people. I saw those crazy people following me. I just casually I knocked on the door of a house and wanted to go in and take shelter, but by chance I bumped into Mr. Gu."
Chu Yan said aggrievedly, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes.
Anyway, today's news was delivered by Chu Yi, who asked her to come to Zuixiang Building, directly bribe the waiter, and ask the Gu family brother and sister which room they had booked.
As for Chu Xin and Chu Shu, they were also taken to other floors by the waiter. Let’s find them here first!
"Such dangerous things will always happen. Why do you have to go out of the palace to buy it in person? Isn't it too unfair to you?"
Compared to Yun Danfeng just now, Gu Xiao was really worried at this moment. Seeing the aggrieved and crying Chu Yan in front of her, she really felt distressed.
After all, she is the woman he has kept silently in his heart for so many years, and her every move can affect his heart.
Gu Ruowan was furious. Why could Chu Yan come and interfere in everything? Why was she so annoying? Now she had to pretend to be aggrieved in front of her brother.
Didn't Chu Yan want to be with Chu Yi? Didn't Chu Yan want to please her? Now she's pretending to be pitiful!
But the most important thing at the moment is to find out where Chu Xin and Chu Shu have gone. According to the agreed time, they should have arrived. Where did they go?
Gu Ruowan didn't want to say anything. She just sat alone in a chair and was sulking. How could a good plan be ruined by Chu Yan again? If Chu Xin and Chu Shu came over later, what could they say? What?
"As long as Sister Yi likes it."
Chu Yan reached out aggrievedly and wiped the tears on her face, as if she was used to being bullied. In fact, this was the truth. Wasn't she used to being bullied and bullied over the years?
Chu Yi's temper became more and more violent, and she had to endure Chu Yi's venting many times, but in the end, there was no way. She and her mother had to live under the hands of the imperial concubine.
Although the imperial concubine is not as favored by His Majesty as before, she still has the power to control the harem, and she and her mother-in-law do not dare to offend easily.
Gu Xiao didn't know what words of comfort he should say, but he just felt that what happened today was beyond his expectation. He never thought that he would see Chu Yan here.
In the past, every time there was a banquet attack in the palace, we could only glance at each other from a distance, but now we saw it so quietly.
At this moment, he actually felt a little at a loss. He didn't know how to face Chu Yan in front of him. He always felt that he could neither stand nor sit.
"Is my brother feeling sorry for the princess again? It's the princess who lives in the palace with fine clothes and fine food. Even if she suffers any grievances, isn't it her own choice after all? Otherwise, why are the two princesses who have become good friends with me still good friends? ?”
Gu Ruowan couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks.
She just couldn't see Chu Yan pretending to be pitiful and weak in front of her brother. She didn't know what the other person was like in private.
People like Gu Ruowan are really like a poisonous snake lurking in the dark, but they don't know when they will crawl out and bite someone.
"Sister, why do you have to speak so harshly? It's so disrespectful to the princess!"
Gu Xiao scolded her. He didn't know what was wrong with his sister that she must be so hostile to Chu Yan, but he really didn't want to hear anything bad about Chu Yan.
"It's okay. Maybe there was some misunderstanding between me and Miss Gu in the past, and Miss Gu misunderstood me. It doesn't matter if you don't like me. I originally thought I wasn't worthy of everyone liking me."
Chu Yan quickly and wisely stopped her, feeling quietly proud in her heart.
This Gu Ruowan and Chu Xin Chushu both made her feel so disgusted. Do they both think that they are the most upright?
Who has thought about her grievances and her pain, and who is willing to be like a dog who always wants to please others!
"Why don't the princess sit here for a while? Later I will ask the guards from the Duke's Mansion to personally escort the princess back to the palace."
Gu Xiao didn't want to waste all the remaining time on arguing. It was not easy to see the princess, but today was an unexpected surprise.
"Thank you Mr. Gu."
Chu Yan nodded shyly.
Gu Ruowan also deliberately moved her chair to the side. She didn't want to get too close to Chu Yan. Don't blame her for her lack of discipline and upbringing. She was so disgusted with Chu Yan that she couldn't even pretend to pretend. .
Today we obviously had an appointment with Chu Xin and Chu Shu. Who would have thought that they would actually see Chu Yan!
"Actually, what happened today is not a big deal. I will never say anything about it after I return to the palace. As long as Sister Yi is happy, it will be fine. If I really care about it, I won't dare to say anything."
Chu Yan was pretending to express how wronged she was. Anyway, everyone knew that Chu Yi was arrogant and domineering, so no one would doubt these words.
Sure enough, Gu Xiao firmly believed in all this. He knew that life in the harem was complicated, not to mention that Chu Yi's mother was a noble concubine.
"Sister, did we go to the wrong house just now? Isn't it on this floor?"
Chu Shu grabbed Chu Xin's hand and walked around the floor. The waiter had obviously taken her to the wrong room, but as soon as she turned around, the waiter disappeared. She always felt that something was a little strange.
"It's true that we went in the wrong direction. It's obviously intentional. Why don't we look for it layer by layer."
Chu Xinqiang forced herself to calm down, took Chu Shu's hand and went to the upper floor.
I feel more and more uneasy. I feel that something is wrong with what happened today. The waiter in the shop clearly led me the wrong way on purpose!
This Zuixiang Restaurant was a big restaurant, with people coming and going. They were not familiar with this place, so they were so anxious that sweat broke out on their foreheads.
