Seeing that his face was torn apart, Gu Xun didn't want to be locked up in this courtyard. Just now, Gu Yuan'er had said that he would give a statement to the court saying that he had been seriously ill and died. If this was the case, if he wanted to leave alive, he would only have to
I'm afraid it won't be easy.
Gu Xun looked confused: "Did I offend you somewhere?"
Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Maybe the eight characters don't match." She waved her hand: "Let's bring people in."
He also warned Gu Xun: "You'd better be good. If you dare to run away, I will ask my father to write a note saying that you died suddenly."
Gu Xun: "..." If you run away, you will die.
If you don't run... you probably won't escape death. It's really a dilemma.
Chu Yunli turned around and was about to leave. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Wynn, whose hands and feet were bound, still crawling towards her without giving up, with hatred in his eyes.
Chu Yunli sneered: "You hate me?"
She looked puzzled: "You are so stupid, how did you become the first person around the Fifth Emperor's brother?" She waved her hand nonchalantly: "Send him to death row."
Gu Xun was a man of great dignity, so he never said anything unpleasant to himself, so he let Huai En do the talking.
Therefore, it is best to get people away.
Wynn was carried to death row like a cicada.
The next day, Gu Yin came early in the morning to ask his sister out for tea. Seeing his excitement, Chu Yunli asked tentatively: "Do you want me to meet that Miss Liu?"
Gu Yin nodded: "She is a very gentle girl. She has been without a father since she was a child. She has a miserable life. She is very pitiful. I want to take care of her, and you will like her too."
Chu Yunli's face was complicated: "That's what you said, that Fu Yiniang in front of me."
Men all like weaker girls.
But Gu Yin is not good at it. His brain is too weak to protect himself. Who can he protect?
Gu Yin's smile froze: "She lied to me!"
Chu Yunli: "..." So this is not a lie to you because of Miss Liu?
She didn't say this. You'd know if it was a human or a ghost when you saw it.
All the major restaurants in the North City knew the two distinguished people from the palace. When they saw the people coming, they immediately took them to the best room on the third floor.
Chu Yunli held the tea cup and asked: "With such a big fanfare, when Miss Liu comes soon, half of the people in Beicheng will know that you are seeing each other."
Gu Yin was in a happy mood: "I want to marry her."
So, I don't care whether outsiders know or not.
Chu Yunli didn't say anything about him, but asked: "How long does it take for the person to arrive?"
"It should be soon."
As soon as Gu Yin finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. He immediately stood up and went to open the door.
Then, Chu Yunli saw the girl at the door.
She is dressed in plain white clothes, has good looks, and has a gentle smile on her face. At first glance, she seems to be easy to get along with.
She entered the door and faced Chu Yunli with a generous look: "I have met the princess."
Chu Yunli didn't scream, but looked at her whole body carefully.
When saluting, keep your knees together, bend your knees slightly, and straighten your back. Fold your hands by your side, look straight, and there is nothing wrong with you from top to bottom.
Chu Yunli has already learned that Miss Liu's Liu family has been in the north for more than a hundred years and has a fairly deep background.
It's a pity that she takes her mother's surname and doesn't know who her father is.
"Get up quickly." Gu Yin stretched out his hand to pull her: "Sister is not an outsider, and she doesn't pay attention to those false etiquette. You don't have to do this."
Liu Hu avoided his hand and stood up shyly: "Yes."
Chu Yunli's eyes no longer looked at her, but fell on the maid she brought.
The maid wore a double bun, her hair accessories and clothes were very simple, very ordinary maid dress. However, there was a touch of redness and swelling on the three fingers coming out of her sleeves, which did not look like they were injured during work. Rather, they looked like... they were...
Beaten with a whip.
After Liu Hu sat down, the room fell silent.
Liu Hu tentatively spoke: "The prince told me that the Lord of the county has a kind heart and wants to build a Ci'an hospital in the north to take in the elderly, weak, women and children. After hearing this, the women were very shocked. If everyone in this world were
If you are as kind as the princess, then there will definitely be no beggars dying of starvation."
Chu Yunli still didn't speak.
Gu Yin couldn't hold back his smile, so he urged: "Sister?"
The unspoken meaning is that she opened her mouth.
Chu Yunli ignored him, stood up and walked to the maid, took her hand and rolled up her sleeves. She immediately saw large and small bruises on her arms.
The maid looked pale.
Liu Hu was also stunned, and quickly reacted, saying apologetically: "Hong'er, did your father beat you again? Why didn't you tell me when you came back? If I knew, I would have asked someone to buy you medicine."
The maid named Hong'er lowered her head: "Thank you, Princess."
Gu Yin was worried and had nothing to say. His eyes lit up and he said, "Sister, am I right? Hu'er is indeed kind."
Kind?
If you are kind, you won't beat the maids around you like this.
You must know that being able to be the personal maid next to the master, Yueyin and her status in the mansion are very different from ordinary servants. As long as Hong'er's father is not a fool, he will not do anything to his daughter.
Chu Yunli sat back on the chair again: "Miss Liu, right?"
Liu Hu's complexion changed slightly.
If the princess agreed to this marriage, she wouldn't be so cold to her. At least, she wouldn't call her by her last name in a questioning tone. It was as if she didn't even remember her. With just this sentence, Liu Hu...
I understand what the princess means.
"yes."
Chu Yunli looked calm: "The threshold of the palace is high, you may not be able to reach it." She stood up: "That's it."
Gu Yin was surprised.
Liu Hu's face turned pale: "Princess, I think my family is pretty good, and I have good looks and talents. The previous Crown Princess was not as good as mine, so why do you look down on me?" He added hurriedly: "I respect the Crown Prince.
Sincerely, what I love is not his identity, but the person he is."
When he said the last sentence, he lowered his head and felt shy.
Gu Yin's face was full of joy and he said seriously: "Sister, I really want to marry her."
In fact, the girls over there in the capital regard subtlety as their beauty. That is to say, here in the north, girls are so bold in expressing their feelings.
Chu Yunli nodded: "I understand. I will discuss it with my father after I return."
Just now he refused outright, but now he changed his mind and said that they would discuss it. Gu Yin thought that the relationship between the two of them had moved his sister, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Liu Hu's tense back relaxed slightly.
She was the first to go out: "Let's go, my father will be back early today."
Gu Yin felt happy and hurriedly followed.
The two siblings went downstairs. They were riding in a carriage today. After the two siblings went in, Chu Yunli ordered: "Don't rush back home now. Follow Miss Liu."
The coachman answered through the curtain, and Gu Yin looked confused: "Sister, why are you doing this?"
"Save people!" Chu Yunli said concisely and concisely.
Gu Yin: "..."
The doubts in his heart deepened, and he couldn't help but ask: "Who are you trying to save? There are guards patrolling this city..."
Chu Yunli raised her hand to stop what he was saying, leaned against the car wall and closed her eyes: "I got up too early, I'm a little sleepy, so I'll squint for a while."
In this case, Gu Yin couldn't disturb her anymore.
Not long after, the carriage started moving.
Two-quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped again, and the coachman's voice came through the curtain: "Princess, Miss Liu's carriage is parked outside the yard."
Chu Yunli opened the curtain and saw a small courtyard in front of her. If she guessed correctly, the courtyard here was already to the west of Beicheng. At this time, a woman's cry and begging for mercy could be faintly heard in the courtyard.
"Knock on the door."
The coachman had no objection, jumped out of the carriage and knocked on the door.
After knocking for a long time, no one opened the door. Gu Yin was confused: "Did you make a mistake?"
The coachman shook his head and said firmly: "It must be right."
Chu Yunli jumped out of the carriage and kicked the door open.
The situation in the yard can be seen clearly.
Liu Hu had a fierce look on his face, his eyes were blood red, and he was holding a whip in his hand, waiting for the maid on the ground.
Hong'er was rolling around on the ground. Because her hands and feet were tied, she was covered in dirt, her hair was messy, and her whole body was in a mess. Her mouth was also blocked, so she couldn't scream even if she wanted to.
Gu Yin was dumbfounded.
Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "Brother, this is the sweetheart you say is gentle, kind and likes to help the poor. How do you feel?"
Not so!
Gu Yin looked at the blood stains seeping out of the maid's clothes on the ground, and felt like nauseating in his chest. He held back and said, "Hurr, why did you beat her like this?"
Liu Hu panicked for a moment when they entered the door. After hearing this, he came back to his senses and did not answer Gu Yin's words. Anyway, he looked at Chu Yunli and asked Rourou: "Is it true that the princess can break into private houses?"
Chu Yunli nodded: "Of course it's impossible." Then he added: "Go and sue me."
Liu Hu: "..."
How stupid is she to go to the palace to sue Prince Bei's only princess?
Hong'er's face on the ground was full of tears, and her eyes were full of pleading.
Chu Yunli walked in slowly: "I just fell in love with your maid. I thought she and I were quite compatible, so I chased after her because I wanted to ask you for her. I wonder if Miss Liu can part with her?"
Liu Hu's face changed drastically, but only for a moment: "There are so many servants in the Northern Palace, does the princess still need someone to take care of her? This girl is clumsy and often does wrong things. How dare a common girl let her serve the princess?
?”
"If I say she can, she can." Chu Yunli waved her hand: "Take her away."
The driver stepped forward to help the person. Before leaving, Chu Yunli dropped ten taels of silver: "I won't take advantage of you. This should be enough to buy her."
Liu Hu was unwilling to give in and chased a few steps: "Can the princess rob someone on the street?"
Chu Yunli didn't even look back: "It's the same thing, you go and sue me."
Liu Hu: "..."
With Gu Yuan'er's current status, as long as King Bei is willing to protect her, she can do whatever she wants.
However, King Bei is a very upright person, and even his most beloved children will not let them harm the people.
Probably because of this, Gu Yin was not very smart and was not raised as a playboy.
After Chu Yunli returned home, she had Hong'er brought down for treatment. As soon as she took a breath, the steward next to King Bei arrived: "Princess, the prince invites you to come over and discuss important matters."
As soon as they entered the outer hall, they heard King Bei say displeasedly: "I heard that you robbed someone else's girl?"
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows, knowing that few things in this city could be hidden from King Bei: "Is anyone complaining?"
King Bei scolded: "If no one complains, can you just go and rob me?"
It was quite unusual to be reprimanded. Chu Yunli coughed lightly: "Father, that girl is from Miss Liu. I doubt that girl can get close to my second brother."
King Bei disapproved: "There are many girls who want to get close to your brother deliberately." However, he did not reprimand him anymore. He poured a cup of tea and handed it over: "Who is the person behind the scenes?"
Chu Yunli took it and said: "I don't know who Liu Hu's father is, but her mother had close contacts with several young men in the city. The most likely ones are... the Zhou family."
