After rebirth, the wife of the Houfu shark went crazy

Chapter 154 Why Are You So Worried?

"It's okay, luckily Qing'er supported me." Jiang Xiyu said soothingly, and quickly changed the subject, "Is this Miss Qin going to enter the palace?"

When it comes to gossip, Gu Yunling instantly becomes excited.

"Of course. Didn't you see the way His Majesty looked at her? It was as if he wanted to eat her up."

And men have a common problem, which is that they like to collect women.

It is only natural that Guwei, having a Concubine De who is good at calligraphy, would want Qin Rouyu who is also good at painting.

What's more, he is the emperor of Yun Dynasty, and there is no woman he cannot get if he wants.

"Just wait and see. Once Qin Rouyu enters the palace, there will be plenty of good shows to watch." Gu Yunling was very interested in the exciting drama in the harem.

Jiang Xiyu was not interested at all.

Whether Qin Rouyu enters the palace or not, it has little to do with her.

Besides, she had no interest in what happened in the palace.

She was just worried that the imperial concubine might know some clues and send someone to find her.

Logically speaking, the imperial concubine didn't see her just now, and she got here smoothly. Later, she and Gu Yunling will go out together, and the imperial concubine should not guess that it was her.

It’s all Gulin’s fault. If he hadn’t inexplicably pulled her behind the tree, nothing would have happened afterwards.

However, given the Imperial Concubine's obsession with Gulin, even if she and Gulin were just standing and talking, the Imperial Concubine might have seen them and would have thought that she and Gulin had something going on, and who knows how she would have tortured her in the future.

Hiding was the right choice. She shouldn't have bitten him at that time, causing the imperial concubine to discover the clue.

At this moment, Jiang Xiyu had no interest in watching the drama between Gu Wei and Qin Rouyu. She was upset and uneasy.

Gu Yunling seemed to have noticed something and stopped talking to her.

Here, Gu Wei and Qin Rouyu looked at each other. After a long moment of affection, they finally remembered Gu Lin. "Where's the emperor's uncle? Where did he go?"

After Gu Wei asked this, the noble ladies noticed that they had not seen Gulin since they entered the peach forest.

It’s not that no one looked for him. All the noble ladies who wanted to be the Princess of Qin wanted to find him, but no one could find him.

A palace attendant came running to report, "Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Prince of Qin has just left the peach forest and has left the palace."

Gu Wei frowned suddenly. "Leaving so soon? Who shared the same red string with him?"

As soon as Gu Wei said this, Jiang Xiyu immediately lowered his head guiltily.

Gu Yunling next to him seemed to have noticed something, with a look of surprise and joy on his face.

The palace attendant bowed and said, "Your Highness the Prince of Qin didn't say anything, so I don't know."

Gu Wei glanced at the other noble ladies present. They all looked at each other, and no one stood up to admit that they had taken the same red rope as Gulin.

In fact, they also wanted to know who was so lucky that he got the same red rope as Gulin.

Gu Wei's eyes swept over Jiang Xiyu, "Madam Yonglin, where is your red string?"

Jiang Xiyu was startled by Gu Wei's sudden question.

Just as she was nervously thinking of her words, Gu Yunling spoke first, "She refused to participate in this game, so she didn't take the red string."

Jiang Xiyu's tense nerves relaxed instantly when he heard that.

When Gu Wei heard that Jiang Xiyu did not take the red rope, he did not ask any more questions.

Gu Yunling continued, "It's just a game. Fifteen might not participate. He probably felt bored and went back first. Your Majesty, please don't ask any more questions."

Gu Wei nodded silently.

According to Gulin's personality, this is definitely possible.

I guess I was really bored, so I left first.

But this was his concubine selection banquet, and he didn't give himself face and just left. Gu Wei's face looked very bad.

Seeing this, Concubine Shu stepped forward and quickly comforted him softly, "Your Majesty, since the King of Qin doesn't want to choose a concubine yet, why don't we put this matter on hold for now and wait until he wants to get married."

Princess Gui also advised upon seeing this, "Yes, Fifteen is not in good health, so getting married may not be a good thing. Since he is unwilling now, let's wait until he is willing."

Concubine Shu's words did not comfort Gu Wei, but Princess Gui's words made Gu Wei think.

Gulin is now suffering from a cold poison. According to the imperial physician, the poison has penetrated deep into his bones and he probably won't live for many days.

He was not afraid that he would covet his throne. Even if he really coveted it, he would not be able to sit on the throne.

As long as Gulin's cold poison is not cured, he will tolerate him and let him act arrogantly under his nose.

But he didn't want Gulin to leave any offspring after his death.

"In that case, let's end this matter here and talk about it later."

After saying that, Gu Wei glanced at Qin Rouyu, then turned back and whispered a few words to Concubine De.

Defei's face suddenly became even uglier, but she suppressed her discomfort and nodded to the ancient curtain.

The protagonists of today's concubine selection banquet in Gulin had all left, so Gu Wei did not stay long and left on the pretext of handling state affairs.

As soon as Gulin left, Concubine Shu, Concubine Xian, and Concubine De also left with the noble ladies chosen by their respective families.

The remaining noble ladies who had no one to support them could only disperse on their own.

Jiang Xiyu entered the palace with Gu Yunling, so naturally she left with Gu Yunling as well.

As soon as they got on the carriage, Gu Yunling looked at Jiang Xiyu and asked, "Did you and Shiwu take the same red rope?"

Jiang Xiyu was so frightened that she suddenly raised her head and looked at Gu Yunling.

Seeing Jiang Xiyu's reaction, Gu Yunling knew that she had guessed correctly and nodded her head helplessly, "You are too impatient."

Jiang Xiyu forced herself to remain calm, lowering her eyes. Without trying to hide anything, she admitted directly, "That was only in front of you."

In front of other people, no matter how shocked she was, she would never have such an expression.

Gu Yunling understood that she treated her as one of her own, and she was very happy. She looked at Jiang Xiyu and said seriously, "Don't mention the red string matter to anyone in the future. I won't tell anyone, and neither will Shiwu."

Jiang Xiyu nodded without saying anything.

Seeing her uneasy look, Gu Yunling frowned and said, "But what else happened in the peach forest? I see you look very worried."

She noticed it as soon as she came back, but there were so many people around that she didn't dare to ask her.

Jiang Xiyu looked up at Gu Yunling, hesitated for a moment, and finally told her the whole story in simple terms. "I didn't want to meet anyone, so I chose to go to a secluded place. Who would have thought that I would run into the King of Qin, and even hold the same red string as him. Originally, it was nothing, just a coincidence. I didn't expect that the imperial concubine would suddenly come later..."

"What?" Gu Yunling was shocked when she heard the word "Royal Concubine". "Royal Concubine went to the peach forest? Did you see it wrong?"

Jiang Xiyu shook her head. "No, I saw it clearly. It was the Imperial Concubine. She had an argument with the King of Qin?"

Gu Yunling frowned, "But didn't she tell His Majesty in advance that she would return to the palace to rest? Why would she run to the peach forest?"
