Chapter 252 Progress

The next day when they set up camp, Gu Mingshu went to the stream to tidy up her appearance, and Ruan Meiniang followed beside her, handing her a handkerchief and holding her cloak.

Gu Mingshu then smiled and said: "If I were a man, I would also be willing to marry a considerate, capable and beautiful girl like you. Qin Yue doesn't know how blessed he is."

Ruan Meiniang was startled when she heard this, and her desire to survive immediately came up.

"As far as the prince is concerned, only you are his blessing. When you are by his side, he is considered blessed. He is not worthy of being a slave. Other women besides you are not worthy either."

"Tsk," Gu Mingshu trembled, then raised her arm to show her: "Look, numb the goosebumps on this arm for me."

Ruan Meiniang pretended not to understand: "Maybe it's the cool wind by the stream, so I'm tying a cloak for you."

Gu Mingshu had something to explore today, how could she be fooled into it.

She found a creek rock and sat down, took out the "letter from home" she received yesterday from her arms and put it on her lap, patting it repeatedly.

"You said that you married Qin Yue in the past to pursue a better future. I believe that. No matter whether you go from Zuichun Tower to Hailing Palace, or from the princess of the subjugated country to the concubine of the powerful prince, this is a kind of progress. But you...

A subjugated princess with her own power and a rich dowry is too modest to say she is not worthy of Qin and Yue."

Ruan Meiniang's pupils shrank, it turned out that those maidservants who had been busy flying pigeons recently were checking her out!

Her eyes fell on the letter on Gu Mingshu's lap again, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated.

"You offer your treasures and advice, and you cry and beg to come to me. Before I make a decision, I have to know where you are." After saying that, Gu Mingshu waved her hand and said, "Do you mind?"

Ruan Meiniang quickly adjusted her mood and smiled cheerfully: "My lord is willing to understand me, I am very happy. If you have anything else you want to know, why not ask me directly."

"What is your real name?" Gu Mingshu said with a smile, as if she didn't need to answer: "If you are from the bloodline of the Moon Worshiping Imperial Court, your surname should be Mu, right?"

Ruan Meiniang shook her head: "I am not of the blood of the Moon Worshiping Imperial Court, and my surname is not Mu. I use my real name now."

Gu Mingshu said firmly: "If you don't have the surname Mu, but you can fish under the banner of the princess of the subjugated country, you should be someone with a lot of connections."

Ruan Meiniang said thoughtfully: "Although I want to be honest, this question involves the old master's secrets, so I can't tell you." She carefully probed: "Sir, you don't want me to be a big mouth who talks about everything, right?"

"Well, that makes sense." Gu Mingshu put her chin on one hand and looked at her calmly, "But if I want to know your whereabouts, I can't avoid involving your old master. If there are secrets of your old master everywhere, I still ask

What?"

Ruan Meiniang looked at the vigilant maids in the distance, and then at the envelope on Gu Mingshu's lap, knowing that she was going to get to the bottom of it today.

She sighed and said as if resigned to her fate: "That's what I say."

"The slave was born to be the shadow guard of Princess Wanwan. After the destruction of Full Moon City, the royal bloodline has been hunted by the rebels. Later, there was no way to escape. In order to preserve the last bloodline of the royal family, the palace made the slave disguised as the princess's

Look like this, to distract the pursuers."

"Nu Xunsi, following the princess and her entourage is a recipe for death. Disguising yourself as a princess and taking some of the secret guards with high martial arts skills will give you a better chance of survival, so I accepted the job." Ruan Meiniang said.

Gu Mingshu smiled and said, "It seems you made the right bet."

"Yes, I waited until my old master came to help me and came to Dazhao with everyone. After entering the capital, I went to Zui Chun Tower and finally lived a life without having to hide in Tibet." Having said this, Ruan Meiniang raised her eyes and looked at Gu Mingshu apologetically.

Yixiao: "You will know what happens next."

The time when Ruan Meiniang became famous in Zuichunlou was indeed about the same time as Gu Mingshu returned to Beijing from the border, and then the two of them started to make plans for Qin Yue, both overtly and covertly.

Recalling the stupid things she did back then, Gu Mingshu was slightly embarrassed, but she was not hampered by such small emotions.

She nodded thoughtfully: "Well, it's not much different from what I know. But there is one thing I'm curious about."

"When you were fishing in Zuichun Tower under the banner of the former princess, you should also be fishing for Prince Duan Qin Song, who needs your money and power to increase his chances of winning the throne. In this way, in the future, Prince Duan will achieve great things and you will become the imperial concubine.

That’s how you maximize your profits. Why did you end up in the Hailing Prince’s Mansion instead?”

After a pause, her eyes sharpened: "You chose Qin Yue over him. Do you think Qin Yue has the possibility of rebellion?"

Ruan Meiniang's eyes flashed slightly and she lowered her eyes and said: "At that time, His Royal Highness Duan Wang had such a conceited character that he doted on his wife as much as she loved her, so it was impossible for him to accept me. However, the prince trusted him very much, so I entered the Hailing Palace."

Gu Mingshu recalled the oil that Qin Song poured on her when she was chasing someone, and sneered: "I'm afraid it's more than that."

Ruan Meiniang was straightforward and nodded: "Yes. His Highness Duan Wang wanted to use the power behind my identity, but he didn't want to take the risk. He was afraid that something would happen and my 'identity' would be exposed and become a stain on him. Unexpectedly, Dong Chuang

Before anything happened, the relationship between the two of them had turned upside down."

Gu Mingshu said calmly: "There have been many incidents in the royal family of brothers fighting against each other and fighting in the same room. Is it so strange that a pair of cousins ​​have turned against each other? You said you didn't expect it, but it seems like you were covering something up."

Ruan Meiniang:......

Gu Mingshu waved her hand: "That's all, I'm not interested in what you're covering up. The last question - when I fell in love with Qin Yue, and you tried to hide from me at all times, was it the intention of King Duan or the intention of your old master?"

Ruan Meiniang didn't even think about it: "It was His Royal Highness Prince Duan's wish. At that time, he wanted to help the prince regain military power and work in the court, so that he himself could be relied on in the military."

"He wants to push Qin Yue to regain military power. Is he planning to seize this power from the Gu family?" Gu Mingshu's expression was calm and her tone was a bit cold.

Ruan Meiniang said: "I don't understand this, but once at a banquet, His Royal Highness Duan Wang did complain that the Gu family had a large army but lacked fuel and salt. They were all stubborn. He also said that it would be easy to dismount the Gu family because His Majesty is a petty person.

.”

Gu Mingshu: "Qin Song wanted to sell Qin Yue a favor, and also wanted to gain military power after selling the favor. But I fell in love with Qin Yue, and pursued him fiercely. Qin Song was worried that after I chased him, Qin Yue

He was resurrected through the Gu family, and he directly entered the neutral camp and did not participate in his plan to seize the heir. Therefore, you made all kinds of accusations and slanders against me, standing between me and Qin Yue."

"That's true." Ruan Meiniang said.

"Back then, after Qin Yue and I were granted marriage, Qin Yue was attacked when he was out of the capital to relax, and I was injured for saving him. You took advantage of my injury to kill me, and then pretended to take the credit for saving my life, so that he could make up his mind to marry me.

Are you also following King Duan’s orders?”

Ruan Meiniang was not surprised that she remembered what happened in the past, so she immediately admitted: "Yes."

"Lying." Gu Mingshu exposed her mercilessly: "If you marry Qin Yue, it is really for Qin Song's benefit, and keeping a distance from Qin Yue is what you should do. Even the child Hong'er was pregnant with

, should also grow in your belly. Otherwise, why would Qin Song think that you are loyal to him?"

"Your goal from the beginning was Qin Yue. Qin Song helped you deal with me. He really didn't want to see Qin Yue and the Gu family get along harmoniously. It may be true that he let you enter the Hailing Palace in order to stay clean. But you guys

His target is Qin Song, this is an absolute lie."

"Then the question is, what do you want from Qin Yue?"
