Chapter 39 Shameless

Sunji, the eldest son of King Gui, obviously wanted to force the Shangguan family into despair.

Under Hu Yong's advice, Emperor Changsun Lue stopped the argument.

In addition, although there is evidence about the old incident in Gucheng, it is not enough to prove that Shangguan Liu deliberately refused to rescue.

Shangguan Bo has made great military achievements, and Shangguan Liu has also made great contributions to the country and the country.

After thinking for a while, the emperor Changsun Lue chose to follow the late emperor's decision and ordered everyone present to keep silent and not to discuss the matter again in the future.

Although this order was well-intentioned, it undoubtedly increased everyone's suspicion of Shangguan Liu.

Shangguan Yuan's face was clouded, his eyebrows were knitted together, and his ears were red. He didn't say a word from the time he left the Qinzheng Hall to the time he left the palace.

Shangguan Liu hated her son to the extreme for disobeying her, listening to outsiders' instigation at critical moments, and not helping her at all.

He was beaten violently at the gate of the palace in public.

"I don't care what the royal decree is for marriage. As long as you marry this bitch, we, mother and son, will be estranged from each other!"

After finishing speaking, he left decisively.

It's late at night, the sky is cold, and there's heavy snowfall.

Shangguan Yuan fell into the snow, motionless.

Qianru hesitated whether to step forward and give her a hand.

At this time, Changsun Ji came over triumphantly and said, "Can't stand it anymore? The fun is coming later!"

Shangguan Yuan jumped up and led Qianru away from Changsun Ji.

Shangguan Yuan's hand was thick and warm, which made Qianru feel conflicted and uneasy.

At this time, a carriage with a half-faced peach blossom came slowly.

Xiangxiang didn't know what he was thinking, so he poked his head out mischievously and teased Shangguan Yuan, "Brother-in-law, you must prepare more betrothal gifts, otherwise, I will block the door and prevent you from entering."

Shangguan Yuan ignored her at all, took off his cloak, wrapped it around Qianru and walked away.

"Sister Qianru, this guy looks good! You sued him in front of the emperor, and he can still give you the cloak. It's really good!"

Xiangxiang's words made Qianru even more conflicted and uneasy, and she even regretted handing over the statement.

Zhao Xianer saw her motionless there and pulled her into the car, "What an ancestor. You are not cold, but we are still cold!"

She heard the resentment in Zhao Xianer's tone, and hurriedly explained and asked for forgiveness.

But Zhao Xianer became even more excited after hearing this.

"Your father is an upright official and has made too many enemies. I was afraid of getting into trouble and didn't dare to make a big show of seeking information for you. That's why you did such an unusually impulsive thing. It's my sister's fault!"

"I didn't mean that."

"I understand that you also have good intentions, but this matter is very important. You should discuss it with us in advance. Although you are very smart, but what if? Do you think it is wise to sue Guanyuan? What if you are raped?

What about taking advantage of it?”

Zhao Xian'er's words hit the mark, but there is a blood feud and there is a sworn hatred. Even if she pays some price, she will find out the truth and let the bad guys get their evil retribution.

For this plan, in order not to implicate her good sisters and half-hearted peach blossoms, she had no choice but to withdraw immediately.

Zhao Xianer was anxious, "Do you think quitting is the end? An Qianru, have you forgotten that the three of us are Jinlan sisters. If something happens to you, can Xiangxiang and I escape?"

Seeing that Zhao Xianer was particularly excited, Xiangxiang hurriedly comforted her, "It doesn't look that bad, nothing happened, and sister Qianru has found a good home."

"What a good home. You have only been in the capital for a short time, and you don't know how powerful Mrs. Shangguan is. Moreover, the Shangguan family is a single family in the capital, with no relatives to rely on, and it is impossible to withstand the revenge of King Gui."

Zhao Xianer scolded her all the way, making her feel ashamed.

After returning home, she has been thinking about this matter. The only thing that makes her feel lucky is that Zhixuan will not be affected when he is not in the capital, and this is thanks to Zhao Xianer.

"An Qianru, are you so useless?"

She asked herself this, and the answer in her heart made her pull up the quilt and cover her face in shame.

She didn't dare to tell Zhao Xianer and Xiangxiang what happened in Qinzheng Hall. She just said it was a misunderstanding and had been cleared up.

But judging from King Gui's words, it is clear that everything has just begun.

What can I do?

In order not to implicate Zhao Xianer and Xiangxiang, she decided to remain silent.

However, Zhao Xianer's words also reminded her that if she had no idea about such a big matter, she should seek help from experienced and capable people.

And she happened to know one such person, and that was Hu Yong, the imperial censor.

So, the next day she prepared a generous gift and went to Hu's Mansion to wait for Hu Yong to return from the official office.

The decoration of Hu's house was so light and simple that Mrs. Hu even wore only a coarse cloth jacket, and the house used gray flower charcoal that would smoke at a moment's notice in the ordinary kitchen.

She only waited in the hall for a while, and her legs were frozen.

After running several times a day, when Hu Yong finally came back, he was dismissed with a few concise words.

"Dali Temple is investigating this case. It's useless for you to ask me. Whether there is any hidden secrets, we have to rely on Dali Temple to investigate."

Although it was quite disappointing, looking back, it was reasonable.

She went home lonely and found Zhao Xian'er waiting for her with a gloomy face. She thought that half of her peach blossoms were in trouble and was at a loss.

Fortunately, Zhao Xianer was only angry because she went to visit Hu Yong.

"Everyone avoids those venomous censors, but you are going to act at this critical moment. I don't know what you are thinking."

With that said, Zhao Xianer paid her the salary settlement, which meant that she acquiesced to her proposal last night to leave the half-faced peach blossom.

She caused trouble for her good sisters, how can she collect money again?

Zhao Xian'er saw that she refused to accept the objection, so she covered her face and began to sob, "This is everyone's idea, not my idea alone."

"Sister Zhao, you misunderstood. I caused the trouble, and I left voluntarily. Let the money be considered as compensation for everyone!"

"What can this little money compensate for?" Zhao Xianer put the money under her pillow, covered her face and started to cry. Qianru's nose was sore from crying, and she cried bitterly with her.

"Good sister, there is something that I have thought about over and over again, and I still think I should tell you." When the words came to her lips, Zhao Xianer swallowed them back.

Seeing her embarrassed look, Qianru felt very uncomfortable and choked up: "Did King Gui already find a half-hearted peach? If he has anything to say, sister, just say it."

"He wants you to go to Prince Gui's Mansion tonight to accompany him, otherwise half of the peach blossoms will be shut down. Xiangxiang doesn't want you to lose your happiness, so he has gone to take your place."

Qianru was shocked and rushed to Prince Gui's Mansion in a car.

It was already the third watch and the door of Prince Gui's Mansion was closed tightly. Qianru knocked on the door for a long time before someone finally answered.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the boy heard her name, he immediately closed the door.

She was so flustered that she sat under the eaves, slapping herself, blaming herself and crying.

The biting cold wind blew across her face, quickly freezing the tears on her face into ice.

Her head felt extremely heavy and she couldn't help but lower it, so low that she couldn't lift it up at all.

By around five o'clock, her body was so stiff that she was almost like an iceman and couldn't move.

At this time, the door behind him opened.
