Lin Weixi regretted it as soon as she said the words, but now that the matter has come to this, what can Lin Weixi do? She could only bite the bullet and pretend to be calm: "Your princess, Gu Chengyao's mother's surname is Shen. She passed away in the seventh year of Jianzhao, ten years ago. Unlike Gu Chengyao, you lost your wife after three years. Quan, even though no one dares to force it with your status, you still do it. Now it has been ten years since Princess Shen passed away, and the prince has also started a family. Although he still has no children, it is obviously only in these few years."
"What do you want to say?"
Lin Wei Xi blushed and her voice weakened: "It has been many years since the princess passed away, and the prince has grown up. There is no need to worry about the heir, and there is no need to worry about the new man treating his predecessor's children harshly. If you don't have any worries, then you should marry one. The new princess."
Gu Huiyan put down his pen and no longer cared about the destroyed letter from his first assistant. Instead, he looked at Lin Weixi with calm eyes and a leisurely look: "You continue."
Lin Weixi subconsciously wanted to lower her head. It was too scary, even scarier than the old-fashioned master who taught her how to read when she was a child. But there was no turning back when the bow was fired. Lin Weixi couldn't say sorry to King Yan. "You heard me wrong. She was just talking in her sleep, right?"
Lin Weixi blushed so much that she almost bled. She said in a voice that was bold and loud in her heart but was actually as thin as a mosquito's fly: "Look, how am I doing?"
Gu Huiyan still looked so calm and indifferent between happiness and anger, but he knew that this was not the case.
Gu Huiyan's fingers rested lightly on the desk. Under his fingertips was a reply letter to Zhang Shoufu, which had just been destroyed by a drop of dirty ink. But underneath this letter, there was another exquisite palace note.
The letter was written by the eldest princess Shoukang. The eldest princess said in the letter that she and Lin Weixi were very close to each other. As an old man, she always felt empty when living in the princess's mansion. Lin Weixi happened to also mention this matter, so Shoukang The eldest princess wanted to take Lin Weixi to live in the princess mansion.
This is actually a very balanced proposal. Even if no one dares to gossip about Prince Yan's Mansion, Lin Weixi is still a girl who has not left the court after all. She has no relationship with Prince Yan's Mansion, and there are no female elders in Prince Yan's Mansion. She lives in Here, Yu’s reputation is not good after all.
It was a very reasonable proposal, but Gu Huiyan stared at the letter for a long time and was still unable to write that good word. Maybe rainy days can make people irritable. Gu Huiyan felt offended and unhappy for no reason. When he realized this, he was surprised. How could it be? Gu Huiyan's face was still as usual, but his heart was already in a state of collapse. He did not continue to deal with Shoukang's letter, but took another piece of paper, laid it out on it, and wrote a reply to Zhang Xiaolian. When Gu Huiyan replied, his mind always drifted to another thing unconsciously. At this moment, Lin Weixi opened the door and came in.
Gu Huiyan couldn't tell for a moment whether this was a coincidence or the inevitable combination of several coincidences.
These thoughts passed through his mind only for a moment. In reality, Lin Weixi had just finished recommending himself and was so embarrassed that he couldn't even raise his head.
Gu Huiyan looked at Lin Weixi's hair. She looked very well-behaved with her head lowered like this. Her neck was like a swan hanging its neck, which almost made people suspicious that it would be broken at a snap. Gu Huiyan didn't know how long he had been looking at him. Maybe it was a cup of tea, or maybe it was just for a moment. He quickly came to his senses and looked away: "You have a fever. Go back and take a good rest. I just pretend that I haven't heard these words. From now on, you I still live peacefully in Prince Yan’s Mansion. If you need anything, tell Gu Mingda.”
"I didn't!" Lin Weixi was so ashamed at first, but when she heard Gu Huiyan's reply, she became surprisingly angry, "Prince Yan, what do you mean? I said this to you, you just think I have a fever , let me go back to rest as if nothing had happened, and treat me with the same attitude in the future. What am I in your heart? An object without thoughts and feelings, or an object that comes and goes when you call it, but has a funny personality. Pet?"
Gu Huiyan's eyes moved slightly, finally revealing some of his true emotions: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know!" Lin Weixi thought that the matter was over anyway, so she simply shouted out regardless, "I admire His Majesty King Yan for his heroic appearance, and want to marry you as my step-concubine. My father asked you to take care of me, and you have always done so. I want to find a good marriage for me so that I can have a good man to rely on in the future. But what if I misjudge someone? What if he covets my dowry just for your power? Can you support me for once? , but can you protect me for the rest of your life? In that case, wouldn’t it be the best care for me to stay in Prince Yan’s Mansion..."
Lin Weixi's voice became weaker and weaker under Gu Huiyan's eyes. Well, she also knew that this was fallacy. However, the words don’t sound nice, but this is the truth. Lin Weixi has been in a contradiction since she set foot on the road to Beijing. On the one hand, she feels that her previous life has passed, and she does not need to sacrifice her new life. She should start a new life. On the other hand, she looks at the past life. People are really not reconciled to what happened in their previous lives. She is dead, but these people are still alive and well, and judging from the trend, they will live better in the future. She really can't pass this hurdle in her heart.
Lin Weixi thought like this, her eyes couldn't help but water up. Gu Huiyan sighed with a headache. He said nothing despite such treacherous words. The instigator was so aggrieved that he almost cried. Gu Huiyan could only say: "It's easy to catch cold when exposed to the rain. You go back first and have a good rest."
It’s this kind of rhetoric again. Why do these superiors always like to say ambiguous things? Does he say whether he agrees or disagrees first?
Lin Weixi opened her mouth slightly and wanted to say something else, but Gu Huiyan's eyes swept over him the next second. Lin Weixi's courage that she had finally accumulated was shattered. She lowered her head, silently said a blessing to Gu Huiyan, then turned around and left in a depressed tone.
Lin Weixi's resignation contained a bit of anger, but at this juncture, no one would care about it. As soon as Lin Weixi went out, he saw Gu Chengyao standing under the eaves to close his umbrella. Gu Mingda dutifully guarded the door. Seeing Lin Weixi's expression was not good, Gu Chengyao asked curiously: "Why are you here?"
Lin Weixi didn't want to say a word, and passed by Gu Chengyao with a cold face. Gu Mingda had just heard what seemed to be a dispute in the room. They, the personal guards, knew how to use discretion and would not pry into their master's conversation. However, as the oldest minister around King Yan, Gu Mingda was somewhat surprised that someone dared to argue with King Yan? Maybe, someone can actually argue with King Yan?
So Gu Mingda was not surprised to see Lin Weixi's expression was not so good when he came out. Gu Chengyao, on the other hand, frowned silently after seeing Lin Weixi walking into the rain without looking back: "Why is she so wet from the rain?" How much?"
After Lin Weixi returned to Jingdan Garden, he had a headache as soon as he entered the house and developed a fever that night. Her illness was coming violently. She had caught a cold in the palace earlier, and she had walked in the rain for so long today, and she had a high fever as soon as she came back. Lin Weixi's illness alarmed many people. Prince Yan's Mansion invited an imperial doctor to come in overnight, and the lights in half of the Prince's Mansion were on all night long. It was not until noon the next day that Lin Weixi's fever finally subsided a little. She opened her eyes in a daze and saw a man wearing a dragon suit standing outside the bed tent. The clothes were majestic and heavy black, embroidered with gold thread. The dragon, standing in the exquisite and warm embroidery room, looks more majestic and solemn.
If you can dress like this in the palace, you don’t want to be a second person.
Maybe he heard the movement in Babu's bed, and the conversation outside stopped. After a while, the bed curtains on the third and fourth floors were lifted one after another. Gu Huiyan stood outside the partition, looked at Lin Weixi's eyes and sighed helplessly: "Are you feeling better?"
Lin Wei Xi's bones all over her body ached now, as if the fever had burned her bones to pieces. Lin Weixi pursed her lips and said with difficulty: "It's okay."
As soon as the voice came out, the hoarseness in it startled Lin Weixi. Gu Huiyan sighed, how could he believe that she was really "fine". Gu Huiyan motioned to Wanxing and Wanyue to put down the bed curtain: "She can't see the cold now, so she will have a good life."
Wanyue obeyed and carefully put down the innermost red tent. Gu Huiyan was still busy with many things outside, and he really had no time to delay any longer. He moved, and just as he turned around and took two steps, he heard Lin Weixi's voice coming from behind, his voice hoarse and forceful: "Your Highness, I What I said yesterday was not random nonsense."
Gu Huiyan's figure stopped. He turned half sideways and saw Lin Weixi half-propped up from the bed inside a thin layer of gauze. Even if he couldn't see her eyes clearly, he could still imagine that her eyes were burning now, even if she was ill. I felt uncomfortable and stubbornly wanted an answer.
Wanyue was putting up the tent when she suddenly saw Miss Lin standing up and talking to King Yan regardless of her illness, and King Yan stopped without saying a word. Wanyue didn't know why, what did she say yesterday? Although she accompanied Lin Weixi to the study, she didn't know the specific details.
Wanyue held the delicate tent in her hand and didn't know what to do for a moment. She could only stand by the bed, not disturbing Miss Lin and King Yan's conversation, and waited quietly.
Gu Huiyan became serious and said, "If you are worried about Qian Er, don't worry, I have already taken care of this matter."
Gu Huiyan has now taken care of what happened yesterday afternoon. Lin Weixi was so excited that he couldn't suppress the itching in his throat, and couldn't help but tilt his head and cough. After finally controlling it, she said in a hoarse voice: "It's not because of him."
She knew she looked stupid and impulsive now, but she really wanted to understand.
Gu Huiyan's eyes darkened, and the temperature in the room also condensed inch by inch: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I know." Lin Weixi tried her best to look directly into Gu Huiyan's eyes and said as hard as she could.
Gu Huiyan was separated by a layer of gauze. At that moment, he was extremely sure that she didn't know. She was just angry.
It is clear at a glance who you are angry with.
Gu Huiyan paused in place for just a moment, and then continued to walk out: "You can rest in peace and recuperate."
Gu Huiyan had just walked out of the house, and as expected, he heard the sound of getting angry inside. Gu Huiyan thought to himself, with this little strength, he could still imitate others and throw things to vent his anger.
Gu Mingda was waiting in the yard. When he saw Gu Huiyan coming out, he immediately walked behind Gu Huiyan and lowered his head slightly: "Your Majesty."
Gu Huiyan led his people into the royal palace, which was filled with gold and jade and had many corridors. When the servants in the garden saw him, they all gave way early and lowered their heads, waiting for him to pass by first. They did not even dare to raise their eyes. When Gu Huiyan passed through a courtyard, he suddenly stopped. Outside the Ruyi carved railing, the wisteria tree hanging from the eaves was swaying gently.
When Gu Mingda saw Gu Huiyan stop, he looked forward, took a step forward and whispered: "Your Majesty, maybe the wind has picked up."
The gardener tending the courtyard was so frightened that he almost knelt down. The prince was not satisfied with the wisteria tree? Think it's too dense?
Fortunately, Gu Huiyan just stopped and took a look, without saying a word, and continued walking forward. His breath was silent all the way, and everything he passed was solemn.
Maybe it's not the wind.
After Gu Huiyan returned to the study, he calmly handled the important business he had accumulated yesterday, and after a few brief instructions from his staff, he asked Gu Mingda to prepare his horse and go to the residence of Princess Shoukang.
King Yan suddenly came to visit, and the entire princess mansion was in alarm. You know, no matter where someone of his level goes, he must give at least three days' notice in advance. The eldest princess Shoukang was sitting in the main hall and asked Gu Huiyan with some confusion: "Why did you think of coming to me today?" If you don’t send someone in advance, I’ll be prepared.”
"How dare I trouble my aunt." Gu Huiyan nodded with a smile and said unhurriedly, "I came here rashly today because I have something to ask my aunt."
"Oh?" Princess Shoukang also became curious. Is there anything else that Gu Huiyan needs to ask others for? She smiled and said: "Are you being self-effacing again? Is there anything else in the world that you, Prince Yan, cannot do?"
Gu Huiyan smiled, it really wasn't the case this time. He said: "I want to ask my aunt to come forward to protect Lin Weixi and me."
