Gu Mansion in Beijing.

In the study room.

Gu Fengtuo had just returned home to express his condolences. He was still wearing plain clothes and had a white belt wrapped around his waist. As soon as he entered the study, he took off the white belt and placed it on the table beside him.

Then, he sat on the chair behind the desk, pinched his forehead a few times with his slender hands like jade bamboo shoots, and closed his eyes tiredly.

At this time, Lin Zidan walked in and saw Gu Fengtuo, who was slightly closing his eyes. He clasped his fists respectfully and said, "General, the people we sent to investigate said that Marquis Lu did have a recurrence of his old illness."

"But Ye Qi found a letter in Lu Hou's study."

After listening to Lin Zidan's words, Gu Fengtuo slowly opened his eyes. A pair of sharp eyes suddenly appeared, no longer as tired as before. He took the envelope, opened it and took a few glances, and his eyes instantly became serious.

stand up.

"Chi Lian?!"

The murmur in Gu Fengtuo's mouth was heard by Lin Zidan. He said respectfully, "Chi Lian is a charming person by nature. He is one person below ten thousand people in Northern Xinjiang. He has close contact with Qi Jue at this time. It's nothing."

good sign."

"Qi Jue's ambition is really extraordinary." Gu Fengtuo put away the letter, his eyes narrowed slightly, "Continue to investigate, Lu Hou is definitely not a recurrence of his old illness. During the battle at Yumen Pass, Lu Hou opened the city gate and celebrated at night

After that, he returned home and never came out. I suspect it was Qi Jue's hand."

"Qi Jue closed the city gate privately with the intention of killing all the soldiers on the border. It must have been reported by Lu Hou, so Qi Jue wanted to kill Lu Hou." Lin Zidan guessed.

Gu Fengtuo nodded, "It's possible. Right now, the Lu family is in chaos. It's impossible for your majesty to send people from the Lu family to serve as the new governors. The border has just settled down, and people from Qi Jue must not be allowed to intervene.

"

"My subordinates understood and soon wrote to the old general Xu. The old general has a high prestige in the court and has the support of many people."

Hearing this, Gu Fengtuo said again, "Remember to inform Cao Han and Gu Bei and ask them to go to Xiqiang after finishing their work here. The second master happens to be in Xiqiang."

"What are you going to do in Xiqiang?"

Lin Zidan frowned. They had just received the reward at court, so they shouldn't have gone back to the border.

Gu Fengtuo explained, "The Western Regions and Mobei are closely connected. Your Majesty asked me to make a secret visit to the Western Regions to prevent Hehuang Pass from being attacked. Let's go to Xiqiang to investigate first."

"These bastards are plotting in private, and it's bound to be up to no good ---" Lin Zidan cursed, and then asked doubtfully, "General, aren't you going with us?"

After hearing Lin Zidan's words, Gu Fengtuo's solemn expression relaxed slightly. He picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip without saying anything.

"General, this tea has gone cold. I will give you another cup."

Gu Fengtuo stopped and said with a smile, "No problem, it's just herbal tea."

At the same time, Qi Jue had also returned home to express his condolences. He and Xiao Chuhan were walking together. As soon as they returned home, they saw the whole family sitting in the lobby waiting for them.

Qi Jue's face changed slightly, and a trace of discomfort flashed through his cold eyes.

"You bastard, come here ---" Mr. Qi Hou was summoned to the palace early in the morning and was lectured by His Majesty openly and secretly. Now his lungs hurt from anger.

The old lady hinted at the nanny beside her, and the latter immediately understood, and all the maids and women in the lobby quickly retreated.

"Father has something to do, but it's okay to say it. You're a bastard, so who are you?"

A trace of amusement flashed in Qi Jue's sinister eyes.

These words and the look in his eyes made everyone's hearts tremble with fear. The old Marquis was so angry that his face turned livid, and he looked so fierce that he was almost ready to eat.

"Bastard, look what the bastard said, I'm so angry--" The old Marquis looked at the old lady sitting in the chair, and he almost spit on the old lady's face.

The old lady helplessly wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and then waved the handkerchief soothingly, motioning for him to sit down first.

"Your Highness, come and sit down first."

Seeing the old lady calling her, Xiao Chuhan's face softened, and her plain clothes made her more dignified. She slowly walked over and sat beside the old lady.

I don’t know what Qi Jue did to make the Marquis so angry?

"Ah Jue, come to the front and speak."

Qi Jue heard the old lady's voice, paused for a moment, and then walked over.

The old lady looked at her perverse and cruel eldest grandson, with a shrewd flash in her cloudy eyes, "Tell me, why do you do this?"

"Reconciliation is imperative. Grandma's talk is useless."

Heli?! Xiao Chuhan was shocked, anger flashed across his black eyes. How dare Qi Jue humiliate her like this?!

"Bastard, your majesty granted you a marriage, a perfect marriage, and your highness is a royal princess. How can I not be worthy of you? How dare you go to your majesty to ask for a divorce? If your majesty hadn't stopped him, Prince An would have known about it and would have had to break into our Qi Mansion -

-"

As he spoke, the Marquis looked at the old lady angrily and said, "Mother, you didn't see His Majesty's face. You're just one step away from putting our whole family in prison. This evil beast is always causing trouble."

Son--"

"Okay!" The old lady knocked her cane, interrupting Mr. Hou's cursing, and then took Xiao Chuhan's hand, "Your Highness, don't be angry, our Qi family only recognizes you as our daughter-in-law."

Xiao Chuhan's whole body was trembling with anger, but she tried her best to restrain herself, but the old lady who was like a spirit could not help but notice her abnormality.

Xiao Chuhan's hands hidden in the brocade were held tightly, her nails dug into her flesh, and the danko she painted on them broke off, but she didn't even frown.

She is the princess of Changning whom His Majesty has personally granted, but Qi Jue humiliates her over and over again. It's so hateful!

How hateful!

"Grandma, I'm fine." Xiao Chuhan endured the anger in his heart with a gentle smile on his face.

Seeing her like this, the old lady felt even more satisfied.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, any charming girl next to you will not be able to enter the gate of our Qi family. Our Qi family only recognizes the daughter of Prince An."

What the old lady said was resounding, but Xiao Chuhan felt a little desolate in his heart as he listened to it. If the elder sister came back and recognized her ancestors and returned to the clan, the Qi Mansion would probably not fall out with Qi Jue because of her.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Qi Jue, do you really love your sister so much?

But she - she has been planning for so long, is she going to give up?

No, absolutely not. She will keep that matter buried in her heart forever. Once it is exposed, what will happen to her-?

Thinking about it, Xiao Chuhan couldn't help but get chills all over.

"Grandma, have you forgotten that you promised me that if she really wakes up, she will let me and Xiao Chuhan reconcile."

When the old lady heard Qi Jue's words, her face darkened. In order to force Qi Jue to get married that day, she took out the elixir she had found throughout her life and said that as long as he got married, she would give him the elixir to save people.

Unexpectedly, that woman was actually not dead.

"Ah Jue, what kind of ecstasy soup did a village woman pour into you, and you are so stubborn about it?"

The old lady looked at him disappointedly.

When Tang Ningning was mentioned, Qi Jue's sinister eyes softened slightly. He did not want to say more, "Grandma, my grandson just wants to reconcile."

"Bastard, bastard---" Mr. Hou was so angry that he couldn't say anything, and the anger in his body was about to burn him.

Xiao Chuhan looked at his firm eyes, her eyes gradually became moist, and boundless pain spread in her heart, but she was the princess, His Majesty's personally anointed His Highness Changning. Once they reconciled, the entire royal family would be disgraced by her.

All done.

Will the high-spirited young man no longer belong to her after all when he grows up?

"Then do you know, if your mother finds out, will she be able to bear it?" Nanyue's health has always been poor and she can't stand stimulation. The news of Ah Jue's request for divorce has not yet reached Nanyue's ears.

If Nanyue knew about it, she would linger on the sickbed for many more days.

Qi Jue listened to the old lady's words and just remained silent.

But with this look, the old lady didn't know what he was thinking. She sighed helplessly in her heart, looked at Xiao Chuhan apologetically, took a step back, and said, "Concubine, we agree with you, is this okay?"

Taking a concubine? A sneer appeared on Qi Jue's lips.

Xiao Chuhan listened and found it extremely ridiculous. How could someone like Sister be willing to be a concubine?

"Grandma, my grandson will only recognize her as the only one in his life and will never take a concubine. When he marries her, he should welcome her in with an eight-carriage sedan and three letters and six etiquettes."

The old Marquis was so angry that he couldn't stand hearing these words anymore and kicked him. However, Qi Jue was no longer the child he was back then and he dodged with a slight dodger.

Looking over with cold and sinister eyes, the old Marquis was startled by his eyes. When did this traitor become so terrifying?

"Father, would you like to kick another one?"

The threatening tone made Mr. Hou furious, but he couldn't lift his feet.

"Hey - Mr. Xiaoge did something to anger the Marquis and the old lady again. He is really a filial son in the capital -" At this time, Aunt Bai, dressed in a coquettish style, walked in with graceful steps.

Behind him, there was a man who looked like a playboy, looking at Qi Jue with a look of gloating on his misfortune.

Yes, this person is none other than Qi Nanxian, a well-known dandy in the capital. He hangs out in brothels all year round, forms a clique with a bunch of dandy boys in the capital, and drinks to death every day.

As soon as he came in, he looked at Xiao Chuhan with coveted eyes, "Sister-in-law, why are you masked at home?"

Before, when His Highness Chang Ning first entered the mansion, he had seen such beauty in her prime. She was really a peerless beauty. However, I heard that she was disfigured later, and I don’t know what happened to her?

He was very curious.

"What are you doing here?" The old lady disliked Aunt Bai and her son very much.

But the Marquis liked Aunt Bai very much. When he saw Aunt Bai, he quickly pulled her to his side and said to the old lady, "Mother, Nan Xian finally came home, please don't say anything-"
