C46 (1/2)

This was something that Gu Shen did not understand. If it was to protect himself, Zhen Liuxi could keep a low profile and act, or to rely on the Emperor's grace, she could always be safe when she is pregnant with Long Si, and the Empress could not do anything to him either.

Shuxi held the handkerchief and carefully wiped the teapot, then lightly replied …

”You're thinking too much, Consort Xin.”

This answer was without explanation. Seeing that her expression was surprisingly calm without any ripples, Gu Shen knew that he would never be able to get anything out of her. He sighed, and then uncontrollably blurted out.

”You really are as big brother said.”

Suddenly hearing Gu Shen mention her brother Gu Nanfeng, Shuxi's hands trembled, and almost dropped the teapot in her hands. She put down the teapot and looked at Gu Shen with a serious expression …

”Consort Xin, disaster comes from the mouth. If you really want to do this for your family, you'd better draw a clear line between yourself and me. ”

”Separate and separate? It's too late. ”

Gu Shen's words were too late, causing hexagram to tense up, and look at her.

”Big brother came to pay his respects to the Emperor.”

Shuxi's heart was stifled as she coldly asked:

”What is he doing here?”

Since they had entered the palace, she had never once thought about Gu Nanfeng. She had even subconsciously hoped that she would never know Gu Nanfeng, fearing that she would bring him into an unexpected calamity. But how could he have known that there was a tiger on the mountain?

”A few days ago, the Emperor had already ordered the conquest of the Xuan Kingdom to be carried out at the beginning of next month. So my brother came to see the emperor and was willing to donate all his money to build the finest army in the empire. So the Emperor summoned him to discuss the details. ”

”Didn't he always ignore matters of state?”

”Yes, he only wants to do his business, and for that my father even broke off his relationship with him. But now, he's taken the initiative to see the emperor and not have the imperial government help him. Why do you think he's doing this? Imperial Concubine Xi, don't pretend to be ignorant. ”

Gu Shen didn't visit the Three Treasures Palace for no reason. This time, he came to investigate the reason why Zhen Liuxi had caused the palace to become so chaotic, and also to inform his brother in advance that he had come to the palace to meet the Emperor.

Shuxi's heart was heavily hammered. Everything was instantly twisted into a mess, and she couldn't find any thoughts.

”Xin Fei, you have to stop him from entering this court. Not to mention that he has always been free and unrestrained, he is tired of planning and planning, which is inconsistent with his personality.” Xin Fei, you have to stop him from entering this court, not to mention that he has always been free and unrestrained,

Seeing her like this, the Xin Fei ridiculed her.

”Why should I stop it? It's rare that big brother understands why you're willing to lend a hand to me and father. Why did you stop us? ”

The thing that Xin Fei did not say was that ever since Zhen Liuxi left the Feng Mansion and came to the palace, Big Brother had lived a carefree life. She spent her days and nights hanging around the Jadeite Restaurant, flattering renowned courtesans and drinking famous wine. If this went on, his older brother would probably be destroyed. Now he was finally willing to pull herself together, and she was also willing to accept his father's arrangements. This was what they wished for.

Finally, Shuxi exhorted

”You know the temper of the Emperor. In the future, if he were to know that I have lived in the Feng Mansion outside the palace, know Gu Nanfeng, know you, have you thought of the consequences? I am not afraid of being implicated, but you, your father's Prime Minister Gu, your entire Gu Clan, will be implicated. ”

After a moment of thought, she cautiously said …

”If you really want Gu Nanfeng to come into this imperial court, wait for three months. You can advise him to come back three months later. It's not too late to come back after the war between the empires and the Xuan Kingdom has ended. ”

Since she had already spoken, she did not speak anymore, and looked at Gu Shen with a pleading expression.

But Gu Shen did not care about what she said.

”For you, big brother has already become a madman. His decision has been made, and no one can persuade him.”

Liu Xi originally wanted to ask Xin Fei to arrange a meeting with Gu Nanfeng, but she immediately rejected this idea. Her every move in the palace had probably been monitored by someone. At this point, no matter what they did, they could not cause any problems, or else if they could not persuade Gu Nanfeng, they would instead be harming them.

Since things had turned out like this, there was nothing she could do about it. The only thing she could do was repeatedly instruct Xin Fei …

”All these years, I have always been within that burning Six Pools Palace. I have never come out, I have never seen you, and I have never seen Gu Nanfeng.

”Right.”

Although they said that, they all knew that paper could not contain their anger.

This palace didn't allow you to have any time to rest, so it was a matter of course. As a result of Gu Shen's words, ripples had already started to appear in Shuixi's heart, but she didn't dare to display the slightest hint of worry in front of Yin Su.

On this day, at night, she would go to the Imperial Mansion to accompany Yin Su. As soon as she entered the Imperial Mansion, she saw Gu Shen's follower waiting outside. Since Gu Shen was there, she planned to return first and come back later. Unexpectedly, he was seen by the Eunuch An.

”Imperial Concubine Xi, you're here? The Emperor ordered her servants to invite you over. ”

”What is it?”

”You'll know when you get there.”

The Eunuch An smiled and invited Sixty Six to enter.

Once Liu Xi stepped into Imperial Mansion, his heart skipped a beat and his steps became a little messy. Yin Su sat upright on the imperial chair in the middle with a relaxed expression. Gu Shen sat at the side and the one beside her was actually Gu Nanfeng.

Dressed in all white, with a light Lan Yu belt at her waist, a pair of dashing young masters sat there, smiling brightly at Shuxi.

Liu Xi tried his best to stay calm, but nothing seemed out of the ordinary. His gaze looked past Gu Nanfeng and stood in front of him, greeting him.

She and Yin Su did not carry such red tape, but if there was an outsider present, she would be extremely courteous.

”Get up and come sit here.” Yin Su did not shy away from outsiders. He directly extended his hand to hold hers, and placed her beside him.

Xin Fei said with a smile.

”Imperial Concubine Xi is so lucky, the Emperor specially brought these pastries back for you from outside the palace.”

As she followed Xin Fei's gaze, she realized that there were a few types of exquisite pastries on the table in front of the throne.

There was a sweet and fluffy Lotus Blossom Sesame, a soft and oily silver roll, a fresh almond cheese, and a cinnamon cake. She was dazzled by the sight of the entire table.
