Chapter 153 Could it be that he was sent by the imperial concubine?
He explained it so clearly just now because he didn't want Jiang Xiyu to misunderstand. This was the longest sentence he had ever said in his life.
Jiang Xiyu was slightly stunned, and immediately lowered his head, not daring to listen anymore.
I also learned about the grievances and love-hate relationship between Gulin, the imperial concubine, and Gu Wei.
But why should he explain these things to her?
There was absolutely no need for him to say this to her; they were not even familiar with each other.
Are you afraid that she will go out and talk nonsense?
Jiang Xiyu thought about it and felt that this reason was reasonable. She immediately assured Gulin, "Your Highness, there is no need to explain these things to me. I promise that I will not reveal a single word to anyone. Please rest assured, Your Highness."
Seeing the extremely serious expression on Jiang Xiyu's face, Gulin's face suddenly turned dark.
Did he mean it?
He has done so much, why doesn't she understand his thoughts?
Jiang Xiyu looked at Gulin's face getting darker and darker, and was very puzzled. Could it be that she didn't believe her? Just when she was about to speak, Qing'er ran up to her and asked with a worried look on her face, "Madam, are you okay?"
Jiang Xiyu didn't want to talk about what happened just now and shook his head slightly at her.
Qing'er carefully checked Jiang Xiyu's body and saw that she was not injured. She breathed a sigh of relief.
Wuyi ran over from the front and reported to Gulin, "Your Highness, lead the people away."
Gulin nodded and looked at Jiang Xiyu, "You can go."
Hearing this, Jiang Xiyu felt relieved and bowed to Gulin Fuli, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Gulin frowned and looked at her, his eyes full of complexity.
It’s a pity that Jiang Xiyu kept her eyes down from beginning to end, without even looking at Gulin, and couldn’t see the complex emotions in his eyes.
Jiang Xiyu bowed and was about to leave, but heard a low, hoarse voice reminding her, "Don't go outside, go inside."
Jiang Xiyu suddenly thought of something and took Qing'er to the middle of the peach forest.
As Jiang Xiyu walked, she became more and more frightened.
She prayed that she could meet Gu Yunling or other noble ladies soon. That way, they could walk out of the peach forest together, the imperial concubine would not suspect her, and she would not be exposed.
She was also annoyed in her heart, wondering how she got into such a predicament. Fortunately, the imperial concubine did not catch her today, otherwise, she would be in big trouble.
When Jiang Xiyu thought of the imperial concubine's madness, her legs went weak and Qing'er grabbed her hand tightly, so she didn't fall.
"lady."
Qing'er saw that Jiang Xiyu's face looked pale, and knew that she must be frightened. She didn't dare to ask a word, and helped her to find Gu Yunling.
Gulin stood there, watching Jiang Xiyu's disappearing back, with a somewhat melancholy look on his face.
Seeing this, May Day also sighed silently.
It seems that Jiang Xiyu is still a stranger to their prince, and now seems to have misunderstood some things.
It seems that their prince still has a long way to go before he can marry the beauty.
Although Xu Rui has been transferred to the northern border, he is not a simple character. It is not easy to poach his people.
Gulin didn't know what Wuyi was thinking, so he turned around and walked out of the peach forest.
As Gulin came out, the people around him bowed and reported, "Your Highness, some assassins tried to enter the peach forest just now, but were stopped by our subordinates."
"Death squad?" Gulin frowned in confusion.
Wuyi also asked nervously, "Could it be that the imperial concubine sent them?"
Before Gulin could speak, the guard said, "It shouldn't be the imperial concubine."
Gulin and Wuyi looked at him together.
The guard quickly explained, "Before the imperial concubine entered the peach forest, those assassins had already planned to invade the peach forest."
Wuyi suddenly realized that since the person arrived before the imperial concubine, he should not be the imperial concubine's man. After all, the imperial concubine entered the peach forest just to find Gulin. At that time, she didn't know that the prince was with Jiang Xiyu in the peach forest, so naturally she would not send assassins to capture him in advance.
Wuyi looked at Gulin with some concern, "I wonder if those people are coming for the prince?"
Gulin's face was gloomy, but he didn't think too much about it. He just ordered the guards, "Take a group of people to guard her, and don't worry about the others."
As long as it wasn't directed at her, he wouldn't worry even if it was directed at him.
"Yes." The guard responded quickly and disappeared again.
Gulin did not go back and went straight out of the palace.
Jiang Xiyu was helped by Qing'er to the center of the peach forest, where she finally saw the noble ladies gathered together.
Not only the noble ladies were there, but also the emperor, the virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine, and Gu Yunling were all there.
Jiang Xiyu didn't dare to make any sound and stood silently behind Gu Yunling. She was not the protagonist today, so she didn't attract anyone's attention, and no one realized that she was not there just now.
Of course, except Gu Yunling.
Gu Yunling turned around and saw Jiang Xiyu. She was immediately overjoyed and whispered, "Xiao Xi, you came just in time. You almost missed the wonderful show."
Jiang Xiyu noticed that the noble ladies were all gathered around the ancient curtain, while Consort Shu, Consort Xian, and Consort De were all following behind the curtain, and they seemed to be in a bad mood. "What's wrong?"
No wonder the imperial concubine sneaked into the peach forest without being discovered. It turned out that everyone was gathered here.
is something happened?
Seeing that Jiang Xiyu still didn't understand, Gu Yunling immediately leaned over and whispered to her, "Your Majesty participated in the red string game, and ended up getting the same red string as Qin Rouyu. Isn't that a coincidence?"
Only then did Jiang Xiyu see that the noble lady opposite the ancient curtain seemed to be Qin Rouyu, and both of them were holding a red rope in their hands.
During the previous performance, Gu Wei seemed to be particularly fond of Qin Rouyu. Unexpectedly, he and Qin Rouyu got the same red rope now. Isn’t it a coincidence?
What kind of game is this? It must be designed specifically for Gu Wei and Qin Rouyu!
"Tsk tsk~" Gu Yunling smacked her lips with a certain gloating expression, "Did you see the look on Concubine De's face? It's uglier than if she had eaten shit."
Jiang Xiyu looked at Concubine De and saw that she looked very unhappy.
It's really not Defei's fault. Originally, today they were going to select a woman from the family to be Gulin's concubine.
This was also what Gu Wei meant. She should have asked the concubines to contribute the women in their families to serve as spies in the Prince of Qin's Palace. But who would have thought that some people were not coming for Gulin at all, but for Gu Wei.
But at this moment, Gu Wei did not forget to collect the beauties he liked into the harem, and after a few encounters, he actually hooked up with Qin Rouyu.
The most embarrassing thing is that only the woman in their Taifu Mansion has hooked up with the emperor, and only she, Concubine De, is the most embarrassed. If Qin Rouyu really enters the palace, she will become the laughing stock of the entire harem.
It is really easy to understand why Concubine De looks unhappy at this moment.
Gu Yunling suddenly thought of something and immediately looked at what Jiang Xiyu was holding. "By the way, where's your red rope?"
Jiang Xiyu twitched the corners of her lips guiltily upon hearing this and said, "I fell when I came back just now, and the red string fell off. I forgot to pick it up."
"Did you fall?" Gu Yunling no longer cared about the red rope and immediately looked at Jiang Xiyu nervously.
