Chapter 166 Why doesn't Your Highness want to talk to me?
He Lin was really shocked. He had only thought that Gu Ningshuang was just a spoiled little girl before, but when he saw her today, she turned out to be so difficult to deal with.
If the eldest princess hadn't happened to be here today, he wasn't sure whether he would have been forced to have something happen to Gu Ningshuang and then be forced to marry her.
If the Pingyang Marquis Mansion were to forcefully oppress him, even if he was related to Prince Li's Mansion, he might not be able to resist.
"Master He, there is no need to be polite. I just told a few truths."
After that, she returned to her seat again, ready to watch a few competitions.
Luo Mingchuan muttered: "Cousin, how many times has Gu Ningshuang been rude to you, and you just let her go?"
Isn't it too easy for her to just have someone carry her back like this?
Li Huang glanced at him, pointed to the arena downstairs, and asked, "Do you think it is Gu Chenzhou's future that is more important, or his daughter?"
Luo Mingchuan was stunned by his question, and then replied without thinking: "Of course it is Gu Shizi's future that is important."
A man's future is related to the rise and fall of the entire family. A woman will eventually get married. After she gets married, she becomes a member of someone else's family. No matter what trouble she gets into in the future, it will not affect her own family.
Everyone can calculate this account.
Li Huang twitched his lips: "So, what are you worried about?"
Luo Mingchuan was choked by what she said.
"That's true, but if Pingyang Hou could be ruthless, he wouldn't let Mrs. Pingyang Hou spoil her daughter like this."
After all, things like this kind of symbolic imprisonment for a few days and being punished by kneeling in an ancestral hall have not happened before.
If there was ever a time when Pingyang Hou was willing to punish him harshly, then Gu Ningshuang would not be so arrogant and domineering.
Li Huang raised his lips and smiled: "Just watch."
Although that person in Pingyang Hou is not very capable, he is always good at weighing the pros and cons. Before, it was just a small fight and it did not touch the interests of the family, so he naturally didn't bother to take care of it.
But things are different now.
Mrs. Pingyang Hou entered the palace and made a fuss, and her imperial edict was revoked.
Nowadays, the entire Pingyang Marquis is almost a marginal figure in the aristocratic circle of the entire capital. However, no official with real power is willing to send a message to him when there is a banquet at his home.
This time, while the envoys from various countries were still in the capital, they wanted to take the opportunity to show off their authority in front of the emperor.
If one daughter brought down the whole Gu family, he would never turn a blind eye again no matter what.
Sure enough, after Gu Ningshuang was carried back to her house, the servants who went out with her reported everything that happened in the teahouse to Marquis Pingyang. Marquis Pingyang found a house for Gu Ningshuang without much thought.
They plan to pack her up and marry her out of the capital as soon as possible.
The next day, the news spread throughout the capital.
After Luo Mingchuan finished practicing, he came to Li Huang Bagua with great enthusiasm.
"Cousin, as expected, you were right. Then Pingyang Hou quickly found Gu Ningshuang's in-laws. You are really good at predicting things."
It was so quick that it didn't take much thinking to figure out that it must not be a well-matched family.
Li Huang wiped the whip in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "I also have to admire this Pingyang Marquis. Nowadays, there are rumors in the capital that Miss Gu is mad. Under such circumstances, he can still find someone for her.
It’s also rare for my husband’s family.”
Luo Mingchuan sneered and said: "As long as she is not a young talent, there will be people who are willing to marry her, a crazy woman waiting for a family."
"I heard that the husband Pingyang Hou chose for her is a lowly merchant, and he is also one of the second richest families in Yancheng."
The status of businessmen is low. If you want to change the status of your family, marrying into a powerful family is undoubtedly the best choice.
Moreover, if you don't like the person you marry, you can just get yourself a few more beautiful concubines. This is no loss for a man.
Things like this are actually nothing unusual among major families.
At this time, Mu Feng came back and said: "Your Highness, His Highness the Crown Prince wants you to go to the East Palace."
Li Huang paused while wiping his whip: "Did he say what he wanted from me?"
Mu Feng hesitated for a moment and then said: "It was the Prince of Beihu who personally asked you to go by name before he spoke."
Li Huang: "..."
What does it have to do with her?
Why did Dayuan ask her name one by one when they came?
She is just a princess!
Not the prince!
Regarding this point, let alone her being depressed, Li Yuze, as the prince, was also very depressed.
He was obviously the one holding it, but he clearly saw a bit of contempt in the other person's eyes.
Full of suspicion, Li Huang took a carriage to the East Palace.
At this time, Prince Beihu was sitting cross-legged in the dungeon, drinking heavily and eating meat, without any sense of being a prisoner.
If Mu Feng hadn't come out to stop him, Li Yuze would have beaten him half to death.
When Li Huang arrived, he waved to Li Huang generously: "Your Dayuan wine is not as strong as our Beihu wine, but it has a different taste. Let's have two glasses together?"
Li Huang walked to the door of the cell, looked at the bones on the ground, and was speechless: "You seem to be here to enjoy the mountains and rivers."
Prince Beihu licked his greasy fingers and said vaguely: "I came here to die, but I made the right bet, so I don't have to die."
Li Huang raised his eyebrows: "You seem to be very sure that we will help you."
Prince Beihu smiled: "If I die in the Great Abyss, your border will inevitably be in turmoil. Once the war breaks out, it will not be so easy to contain it."
"Furthermore, Her Royal Highness the Princess must have guessed that, except for us Beihu, all the surrounding small countries have been instigated. As long as someone is the first to take action, other countries will naturally follow suit. When the time comes, you will be in trouble.
No matter how powerful you are, you can't beat four hands with just two fists, right?"
He didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.
Since he is here to ask for help, going around will make him appear to be insincere.
Li Huang asked: "You might as well tell me which other small countries have been instigated? I can't just listen to your family's words."
Prince Beihu was also a cheerful person. He started counting with his fingers: "As far as I know, first of all, Baili is not a peaceful person. In addition, there are rat people from Eastern Chongqing, Miao people from southern Xinjiang, and the southwest surrounding areas."
If the eldest princess doesn’t believe in that large area of small countries bordering the Great Abyss, she can go to the inn where their envoys are staying to test it out.”
At this time, Li Yuze, who had been standing aside without speaking, suddenly asked: "Since you know that so many countries are ready to make a move, why did you come to tell us? Wouldn't it be better to join forces with them to divide the abyss?"
"
In this world, no one would think that their own territory is too big.
Dayuan is a piece of fat meat, and no one wants to take a bite of it.
Upon hearing this, Prince Beihu suddenly asked, "Your Highness, does he know why I don't want to talk to you?"
