Chapter 563 What should I do if my husband wants to travel to the modern world?
Inside the room, the light gradually dimmed.
The man lay stiffly on the bed. With every move he made, his heart beat faster and faster, and at the same time, he felt more and more guilty.
There were moral ethics in his brain that were madly condemning him.
Condemn his meanness.
When the woman saw him coming up, she rolled into the man's arms out of habit, looking very happy. Her slender white fingers even secretly grabbed the man's collar.
"Go to sleep."
Gu Hengqing felt it, lowered his head, his eyes became deep, and his voice inexplicably became hoarse.
"Ah."
The woman leaned her head against the man's chest obediently, tightening her fingers slightly, as if trying to gain more sense of security. She almost cried so hard just now, and she couldn't stop crying even after hearing this response.
Gu Hengqing's jaw was tense as he looked at her red eyes. His bony fingers suddenly raised, but they remained suspended in the air for a long, long time.
The woman knew nothing and seemed still a little cold, so she leaned closer into the man's arms.
The man's palm curled up fiercely, and finally, like a chess piece falling, it landed on the woman's shoulder neither lightly nor heavily.
He embraced her, comforting her silently.
She felt it, smiled at him with her almond eyes, and said softly:
"Husband, please come back early tomorrow, okay?"
Gu Hengqing looked at her, the ripples in his eyes rose again, and finally, his lips moved.
"it is good."
"Go to sleep."
"Yeah." Seeing that he agreed, the woman nodded heavily, the corners of her lips curled up, and she quickly closed her eyes, her crow-feather eyelashes pressed against her face. Perhaps she was really tired, and after a while, her breathing had calmed down.
Gu Hengqing's gaze fell on the woman's face. He looked at her for a long time with a dull look in his eyes.
He Wei, sister-in-law...
She never knew that he was lying to her.
He is not Sogo.
She...will hate him when she finds out.
Moreover, Chongguang's body was still warm... How could he...
Gu Hengqing closed his eyes, hiding the complex emotions in his eyes.
-
Outside the house, Siyun and the other two waited for a long time. It was already dark, but they still didn't see their master come out, and no one was called from inside. They felt a little uneasy.
"Madame You..."
Siyun approached the person who was as motionless as a sculpture, wondering what he was thinking.
Aunt You came back to her senses: "What's wrong?"
Siyun struggled and said, "It's already past the hour of Xu, inside..."
Nanny You whispered, "Don't worry, the Marquis knows his limits."
Siyun and Shihua seemed to want to say something but stopped themselves.
Nanny You glanced at the confined door, her expression normal, and said, "The climate has changed a lot these days. You go and look after the young master and the young lady. I'll just stay here."
-
The next day, before it was fully light, in the middle of the night, Gu Hengqing left.
"Master Hou."
Seeing Gu Hengqing coming out, Nanny You hurried forward.
Gu Hengqing looked cold and said, "I'll leave first and take good care of her."
"Yes."
Nanny You hesitated for a while, but still said, "Don't worry, my lord. Everything will be fine once the Second Madam's condition stabilizes."
It will be no more than two months at the latest, when the Second Madam recovers and can bear it. Of course, if there are some things that need to be concealed, it will be difficult to conceal them by then.
"Ah."
Gu Hengqing nodded. His facial features were hidden in the shadows, making it impossible to see clearly what he was thinking. Nanny You didn't dare to raise her head to take a closer look.
As for more words, she still couldn't say them because of Gu Hengqing's aloof attitude.
Maybe she really misunderstood.
Nanny You could only comfort herself and did not dare to let herself think too much.
Gu Hengqing left.
The other servants in Shaoguang Court naturally didn't know that after he left Shaoguang Court, he went to the martial arts field again.
"My Lord." Xuantian caught up with him.
Gu Hengqing paused, his eyes full of majesty, "Everyone in the Marquis' Mansion must not ruin her reputation."
"……Yes."
Xuantian held the sword, and understood what his master meant.
As soon as Gu Hengqing arrived at the martial arts training ground, he flew over and took down the long sword. He started fighting again, and each move became more fierce and chaotic.
And he practiced until dawn.
No one can stop it, and no one dares to stop it.
-
When it was completely light, Gu Hengqing left the martial arts field.
Just at this moment, Ling Bei appeared and handed over a note.
"My Lord, this is the clue that Ling Song and I found."
Gu Hengqing looked over.
-
At noon, in Shaoguang Courtyard, the nanny took the three little ones to the main house again.
Sheng Huan teased for a while, and then Shi Hua brought in the medicinal food.
"Ma'am, take your medicine."
Sheng Huan looked at the medicine bowl, frowned slightly, and was a little resistant, but still took it, closed her eyes, and drank it all in one gulp.
The servants found it funny, so Nanny You quickly brought some candied fruit over: "Second Madam, take a piece of it, and it won't be bitter anymore."
Sheng Huan took it and thanked him vaguely.
-
At that time, in the court.
After the court session, Gu Hengqing was walking on the road when a voice suddenly called him from behind.
"Marquis Dingyuan, please stay."
When Gu Hengqing heard the voice, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes. When he turned around, his expression was indifferent and he nodded: "Third Prince."
The Third Prince came over. His facial features were feminine and handsome. At this moment, he showed some concern: "I heard that the Second Madam of your mansion gave birth to a child, and it was a rare set of triplets. General Gu died tragically and his body was gone, but he left behind a bloodline. I hope Duke Dingyuan will express his condolences."
"Thank you for your concern, Third Prince." Gu Hengqing's expression was usually calm, but now he looked sad: "I still have things to do in the Ministry of Justice, so I will leave first."
The third prince watched Gu Hengqing leave, the smile on his lips becoming increasingly gloomy.
He didn't expect that in such a dangerous situation, Gu Er's wife could survive.
She was able to give birth to three children successfully.
Not only that, the last incident had obviously made the Marquis' Mansion alert, and now he couldn't send in any nails.
I don’t know whether Gu Hengqing has found him.
The third prince had nothing to do, so he left.
When he got on the carriage, he suddenly asked, "Is it clean?"
The eunuch beside him quickly replied: "Don't worry, my master, it's cleaned up."
"Hmph, Princess Chaoruo." The third prince was in a good mood: "It's just a merchant girl, but she made the two brothers of the Marquis' Mansion send people to Jinzhou to investigate so much, and almost caused this prince to fall. The brothers Gu Hengqing and Gu Chongguang are the same. Since they are unwilling to help this prince, now only Gu Hengqing is left..."
His expression turned cold: "Then don't blame me for being ruthless."
Jinzhou was his money bag. When the incident with Princess Chao Ruo happened, all those who had taken money from the Su family were in trouble, especially his people.
He has always been vindictive. How could he let the Marquis' Mansion go after losing so many of his trusted confidants for nothing?
Of course, Gu Hengqing is still in the Marquis' Mansion. The Marquis' Mansion is a pure minister, and Gu Hengqing is his father's right-hand man. Naturally, he is difficult to deal with. But he knows that Gu Hengqing once left a chronic disease in a war. This is the entry point.
Now that Gu Hengqing is dead, the bloodline of his brother, whom he protected, and Princess Chaoruo will no longer be difficult to deal with.
-
Hou Mansion, Shaoguang Courtyard.
Sheng Huan is already taking a nap.
Of course, she soon learned from Pu Hua about the meeting between the Third Prince and Gu Hengqing, and also learned the reason why the Third Prince hated her so much.
And the Third Prince was undoubtedly the one who sent people to cause her premature birth that day.
The third prince is one of the seven sons of the current emperor. He is also the son of Concubine Hua. The Empress has no children, so everyone wants to compete for the supreme position.
The third prince was obviously also very ambitious, and he had secretly tried to win over the Gu Chongguang brothers.
Both brothers refused.
Even because of the Su family's property that Sheng Huan donated when he came to this world, as it involved Jinzhou, the Third Prince's forces suffered varying degrees of damage.
Several ministers were dismissed from their posts by the current emperor, and some were even exiled or executed.
Sheng Huan thought about the original work and the original owner's memories, but she couldn't find out who was the last person to ascend the throne in this world. After all, the original owner died too early. She immediately asked the system: [458, who was the last person to ascend the throne in this world? ]
[Huh?] 458 woke up from his sleep with a start and said subconsciously: [Host, the original work of the ancient world did not mention this, I don’t know either.]
Sheng Huan lowered his eyes when he heard this. The Third Prince's malice towards the Marquis' Mansion was too deep and too great. This man must not be allowed to ascend the throne.
Moreover, he had sent someone to harm her, so how could he know whether the original owner's death had anything to do with him? Sheng Huan felt murderous. The Third Prince must die!
