Rebirth and Marriage: I am the Mistress of the Palace

Chapter 748: Things change, it’s his turn in this life

Gu Qianhan nodded: "Yes."

Gu Qianning immediately shook her head: "No, no, how could he possibly protect me? It's a good thing he didn't kill me! I don't need anyone to protect me. I can protect myself. I won't do anything reckless."

"The palace is not as simple as you think, especially now, with undercurrents surging. You need someone to support you."

"Can the surname Feng really be trusted?"

"Reliable."

"He really won't chop off my head and take it to the Emperor to seek credit?"

"He won't, and he doesn't need to take credit for it. There are few people in the entire capital who enjoy the emperor's trust more than him. He's already standing high enough."

Gu Qianning frowned, "It's because he's the emperor's confidant that I don't dare trust him to protect me!"

"I told you, he has a soft spot."

"Could this weakness make him betray the emperor?"

"can."

Gu Qianning was stunned. "Is this true? Where did you get this information? Is it reliable? What exactly is the weakness? Is this a smokescreen deliberately released by the Emperor?"

"You don't need to know what my weakness is. The less you know, the safer you are. You just need to know that my information is very reliable, and Feng Shuo's is just as reliable."

Gu Qianning hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll think about it."

Gu Qianhan knew that she had agreed, so he nodded and said, "Okay, from today on, you can enter the palace at any time, but don't rush to do anything. Wait until I have arranged everything, and I will tell you when to do it."

"Ok, I know."

Gu Qianning looked serious and solemn. She certainly wouldn't rashly enter the palace and kill Xiao Qingxuan. Otherwise, even with Feng Shuo's help, she wouldn't be able to escape from the palace, and it would also alert the enemy and ruin the whole thing.

"Let's go back!"

"Oh."

Gu Qianning watched him enter Qionghua Courtyard, guessing that he was going back to coax Shen Wantang, so she did not follow him in.

She turned and walked back, and the maid followed her: "Miss, aren't you going to look for the Second Young Master's wife?"

"No, I won't make trouble."

"Where are you going?"

"Go back and change into clothes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes, and then go into the palace!"

The maid was stunned: "Are you willing to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Have you reconciled?"

Gu Qianning smiled coldly: "Reconcile? It's impossible to reconcile."

"Then why do you still wear the clothes that His Royal Highness likes?"

"Because then he'll feel like I'm playing to his heart's content, and his guard against me will be lowered."

"Is His Highness wary of you? How could I not see that? From what I see, His Highness is eager to give you his heart! Whenever there's something delicious or fun in the palace, he thinks of you first. You have everything that others have, and you also have everything that others don't have."

The expression on Gu Qianning's face gradually became sad, tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision.

Yes, who wouldn't feel that way? Even she herself felt that the prince treated her very well. She had secretly been happy for a long time about being able to marry him.

But who knew that while she was planning to marry him and spend her life with him, he was actually planning to wipe out the entire Gu family.

It's enough for her to be stupid once.

The Buddha probably couldn't stand her stupidity anymore, so he gave her a chance to start over, and she wouldn't waste it.

She used all her strength to hold back her tears and said calmly, "That's right. His Highness is so good to me, so I naturally can't let him down. I have to be good to him."

The maid looked at her with suspicion, feeling that she didn't look like she wanted to be nice to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

When she was about to enter the palace to see the prince before, she couldn't hide the joy on her face, but now she didn't look happy at all.

"Go to the kitchen and get some delicious snacks."

"Yes."

"Find a more exquisite sachet and fill it with some refreshing spices. I will give it to the prince."

"Then would you like the sachets you made yourself? You still have three, but you didn't like the pattern and kept them to yourself."

"Just take the one you made. Yours is more exquisite and beautiful, and it will give me face when I give it to others."

The maid lowered her head and replied "yes".

Now she was even more certain that the young lady definitely did not want to be nice to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, otherwise she would not have given the Crown Prince a sachet made by someone else. In the past, she would only give him sachets made by herself.

Qionghua Courtyard.

Gu Qianhan entered the house and looked around but couldn't find Shen Wantang.

He turned around and asked the maids standing by: "Where is the young lady?"

Qin Xin didn't even raise her eyelids and said stiffly, "He's out."

"Where have you been?"

"do not know!"

Because this maid was protected by Shen Wantang, she was fearless and had a very bad temper. Gu Qianhan had experienced this before. He even knew that in her previous life, Qin Xin had given Xiao Qingyuan a cold shoulder because Xiao Qingyuan treated Shen Wantang badly.

He felt very relieved at the time. Xiao Qingyuan, the prince of a royal palace, couldn't even do anything to a maid and could only sulk. It was really laughable.

Unexpectedly, things changed and it was his turn in this life.

He was met with disapproval from Qin Xin, so he turned to Qi Yu and asked, "What did the young lady do when she left? Did she leave any instructions before she left?"

Qi Yu certainly knew what Shen Wantang had gone out for, but she shook her head: "My lord, I don't know either."

Gu Qianhan looked at Shuxiang again: "What about you? You don't know either?"

Shuxiang just shook her head and said nothing.

Gu Qianhan was helpless. These maids used to be very respectful to him and answered whatever he asked. But after what happened yesterday, they all changed their attitude towards him.

These maids are truly loyal to Shen Wantang.

He knew he couldn't get anything out of her, so he left.

He returned to the study in the front yard and called Hei Yao: "Send a reliable person to check where the young lady is and what she is doing. Don't let her be in danger. If she needs anything, have someone show up and listen to her instructions."

"Yes, son!"

Hei Yao turned and walked out.

Afterwards, he called Qingjin and Qingyin and told them to go find Shen Wantang.

The two received the order and left quietly.

A quarter of an hour later, the two found Shen Wantang. One went back to report, while the other stayed there to guard.

Zuixian Tower.

In the private room on the third floor, Shen Wantang stood by the window, looking at the bustling scene of traffic outside, a little absent-minded.

Nanny Yan took the cloak from Du Juan and walked over to put it on Shen Wantang. "Young Madam, the weather is much colder now. Be careful not to catch a cold."

Shen Wantang came back to her senses and smiled at her: "Thank you for caring for me, Ma'am. I'm fine. I'm in good health."

Nanny Yan felt that her smile did not reach her eyes. She did not look as relaxed as usual when she came out today. She even did not go to her shop to see how much money she had earned as she did before.
