After everyone came back from the palace, they all looked solemn.
How can anyone not be worried about Empress Gu's situation? Not to mention the Sun family, even Zheng family and Zhang Yue have heavy faces. As the saying goes, if there is honor and disgrace, then if Empress Gu really loses her power
, the status of the prince is also in jeopardy. The glory and status of Duke Dingguo's palace has been firmly tied to Queen Gu and the prince, and we must not watch this happen...
Sun was full of worries and after returning to Shunyitang, only Gu Xinian was left. Ye Qinglan silently followed Mrs. Zheng back to Jingxinyuan.
Gu Xiyu had been waiting for a long time and came forward happily: "Mom, sister-in-law, you are finally back. I have been alone in the house for most of the day, and I am almost suffocated."
Mrs. Zheng cheered up and smiled: "We asked you to follow us into the palace, but you refused to go."
Gu Xiyu didn't know how to read people's words at all, so naturally she didn't notice that Mrs. Zheng's smile was a bit forced. She then looked at Ye Qinglan with a smile: "Is your entry into the palace going well today?"
Mrs. Zheng winked at Ye Qinglan calmly. If there are some things, please don't tell Gu Xiyu.
Ye Qinglan understood, nodded invisibly, and then replied with a smile: "Everything went well. The Queen is kind and kind, and she also rewarded me with many things!"
In fact, even if Mrs. Zheng didn't say it, she would never tell Gu Xiyu those bad things. Gu Xiyu has an innocent and simple temperament and doesn't understand the dangers of the world at all. Let Gu Xiyu continue to remain clear and transparent without caring about the world.
!
Mrs. Zheng felt very comforted when she saw Ye Qinglan being so considerate.
In the evening, Gu Hong came back. The couple sighed a lot about entering the palace today, and couldn't think of any other good ideas. They only decided to visit a famous doctor.
Because of this incident, the atmosphere at dinner was a bit dull. After dinner, Gu Hong called Gu Xinian to go to the study to talk. Since Gu Xiyu was also there, Ye Qinglan and Mrs. Zheng couldn't talk more, so they dispersed after a few gossips.
.
After Ye Qinglan took a bath, she waited in the house for a long time. It wasn't until around midnight that Gu Xinian came back.
Gu Xinian's expression was as usual, but there was some tiredness in his brows. Ye Qinglan greeted him with a smile: "You must be tired after a busy day. The bath water is ready, you go and take a bath first!"
Under the warm candlelight, her eyebrows and eyes were incredibly soft. Gu Xinian's heart felt warm, and he suddenly stretched out his arms to hug her. However, he did nothing, just cuddling with each other quietly. He felt tired in his heart.
Just like this, their hearts melted into each other's body temperature bit by bit...
At this moment, Ye Qinglan finally realized the meaning of the word husband and wife.
The passion may gradually fade one day, but the love of knowing each other will not fade with the passage of time. It is this kind of love and fate that makes two strangers who were originally unrelated grow into each other.
The most intimate person in the world...
"My father-in-law just discussed with you the matter of the Queen!" Ye Qinglan's soft voice sounded in his arms.
Gu Xinian hummed, but didn't say much. He was used to planning in his mind and never had the habit of sharing his thoughts with others.
Ye Qinglan asked again: "Then have you discussed any countermeasures?"
Gu Xinian hesitated for a moment and then said in a low voice: "In the court, try to suppress the power of the three princes' party. As for the affairs in the harem, we can't get involved. We can only help find famous doctors to cure the empress's illness as soon as possible.
.”
It's still unclear, but it's always a good thing to open your mouth.
Ye Qinglan suddenly asked: "Is the Queen's illness really serious?"
Gu Xinian understood the meaning of her words and replied silently for a moment: "Yes. Her illness will last for more than half a year. The harem has become Concubine Zheng's world, and the three princes' holy family is getting more and more prosperous. In less than two years,
Year. The crown prince will be deposed and the third prince will be established as the crown prince."
Although Ye Qinglan had expected this, when she heard it with her own ears, her heart still sank slightly.
The situation turned out to be worse than she imagined...
"However, many things are different now." Gu Xinian's calm voice revealed unmistakable confidence: "The prince's reputation among the government and the public is not the same as before. The emperor also values him more highly than before.
There are so many, even if the Queen falls out of favor, she will not end up like this."
In order to create such a good situation, Gu Xinian has put in a lot of effort in secret for more than a year. Just to prevent this day from coming...
Ye Qinglan was silent. Gu Xinian was by no means the kind of person who liked to talk big. Since he said that things would not evolve to this point, it would definitely not happen. In this case, you can rest assured.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Gu Xinian say: "However, the empress is facing a dilemma in the palace, and it really needs to be solved urgently. Otherwise, there will always be people blowing pillow wind in the emperor's ears, and the emperor's mind will inevitably be shaken. In the palace,
If the imperial doctor cannot cure the Queen, then find some famous doctors or folk remedies from outside the palace to try. As long as the Queen can recover as soon as possible, these crises will naturally be resolved."
Ye Qinglan responded softly and said nothing. When she looked up, she saw Gu Xinian looking at her thoughtfully, and there was something clearly contained in his eyes...
Ye Qinglan's heart skipped a beat. At that moment, she almost impulsively wanted to tell the secret in her heart. But when the words came to her lips, she changed to: "The queen is auspicious and she will definitely get well soon."
Gu Xinian's eyes flashed slightly, he took a deep look at Ye Qinglan, and said casually: "Yes, I will definitely get better soon. It's getting late. I'm going to take a shower now. Do you want to wait for me or not?"
…Would you like to take a shower with me?" After speaking, his voice became ambiguous.
Ye Qinglan blushed slightly and glared at him: "I've washed it a long time ago. You can wash it alone."
Gu Xinian loved her coquettish and charming look the most. He smiled lowly and placed a gentle kiss on her hair. Then he undressed and took off his clothes in front of her.
...Want to see her blushing? Humph, don’t even think about it! Isn’t it just a strip show?
Ye Qinglan calmed down and did not look away. Instead, she looked straight over.
Gu Xinian seemed to have read through her thoughts. He raised his thin lips slightly and slowly took off the outer brocade robe. Then he took off the thin middle coat, revealing his smooth and flat chest. Then he bent down slightly, not tight or tight.
Slowly she took off her pants. As he moved, she could even vaguely see the gradually rising outline between his legs.
…
Ye Qinglan's face turned red quietly. But she knew clearly in her heart that her warm face and heartbeat were not due to shyness...
When Gu Xinian took off only the last piece of clothing, he finally stopped. Tasting the blush on Ye Qinglan's face, the unbearable itching feeling came to his mind again: "Lan'er, are you sure, you really
Don’t you want to take a shower with me?”
Ye Qinglan spat at him, and somehow she said out of nowhere: "Don't wait so long, hurry up and wash it. I'll wait for you on the bed!"
Gu Xinian: "..."
Ye Qinglan finally realized what she had said and wanted to sew her mouth shut. She was so lustful that her words were absolutely true. Looking at the almost naked handsome man in front of her, her IQ dropped rapidly and was approaching the bottom line, right?
Gu Xinian didn't take the opportunity to make fun this time, because... well, he was also in a hurry to take a shower now...
When they were both physically and mentally exhausted and lacked the strength to speak, the two hugged each other sweetly and fell asleep.
Hearing Gu Xinian's steady and gentle breathing, Ye Qinglan quietly opened her eyes and thought quietly in the dark night. Should she help Queen Gu's illness?
It seems that she, the nephew-in-law, should not just sit back and watch. But once she really helps, the secret she has worked so hard to hide can no longer be hidden... Oh, what a dilemma!
After thinking about it for a long time, it was still difficult to make a decision.
Forget it, let's wait and see how it gets better. Ye Qinglan thought silently, the matter is not serious enough to be out of control, if it is really serious, then... let's talk about it later!
For the next few days, Gu Xinian went out early and came back late. He didn't even have time to come back for dinner. It was good to be back before midnight every night.
The same goes for Gu Tong and Gu Hong's father and son. You don't need to ask carefully to guess what they are busy with. When the situation in the harem is critical, the princeling faction needs to be comforted and they also need to discuss countermeasures against the third prince and his faction. In short
, all of this is inseparable from banquets. Throughout the ages, officialdom has actually been the same.
Gu Xinian has a good drinking capacity, but going to banquets and socializing every day becomes too much for him. He smells of alcohol when he comes home every day. Ye Qinglan sees this and can't help but feel sad. But she knows very well what Gu Xinian is at this time.
What is needed is not nagging and complaining, but careful care and concern. Hot water and hangover soup are prepared every night, waiting for Gu Xinian's return.
It was still the same on this day. Gu Xinian came back drunk and tired, and was greeted by Ye Qinglan's gentle smile: "I came back earlier than usual tonight. I personally cooked a hangover soup for you.
Hurry up and drink it while it's hot." Seeing that Gu Xinian was so drunk that his movements were a little sluggish, he simply brought the hangover soup in person, scooped up a spoonful and brought it to Gu Xinian's lips: "Come on, drink the hangover soup obediently, and then go take a dip.
A hot bath.”
No man can resist such tenderness!
Gu Xinian opened his mouth to drink, and then looked at Ye Qinglan quietly. His deep eyes were full of tenderness.
Unknowingly, I drank up a bowl of hangover soup. My mind was indeed much clearer, and after taking a hot bath, my whole body felt soothed. When I thought of Ye Qinglan waiting for me in bed... my whole body felt hot.
Got up.
It's a pity that when Gu Xinian happily cleaned up and planned to do some "exercise before bed", he was firmly rejected. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation.
