After he arrived in the north, the only people who could treat him differently were the Zhou family.
The reason for treating him differently is because he married a daughter of the Zhou family.
The Zhou Jiang family was probably unwilling to lose this preferential treatment, so they pushed Liu Hu in front of Gu Yin again.
To be fair, the Northern King would have chosen Zhou because of her background and, most importantly, her gentle temperament.
Later, when she married a step-brother, she thought that little Zhou was as gentle as her.
Back then, King Bei was just a young man in his early twenties.
After a while, King Bei asked: "Where is your brother?"
Gu Yin didn't come over. The Liu Hu in his memory was the kind-hearted girl who handed out steamed buns to beggars. This woman who beat people to death with a whip didn't look like the imperial concubine he wanted at all.
He had probably made a mistake again, and now he was doubting his life.
"I was shocked." Chu Yunli said calmly: "I was very unhappy all the way back. With me as a sister, he and his wife will not have an easy life."
The corner of Bei Wang's mouth curled up slightly: "That's his blessing." He added: "He met another girl so quickly. He must really want to marry again. When the matter with my house is resolved, you can help him choose a good one again.
of."
"Marriage is a major matter, the order of your parents." Chu Yunli said in a meaningful tone, "This should be your business."
King Bei waved his hand: "You will know just by looking at your mother and concubine. My eyes are not good, so you should look at me."
Chu Yunli: "..."
"I don't have good eyesight either, otherwise why would I marry into the Chen family?"
King Bei was convinced and sighed: "Who hasn't been young? It's normal to meet a bad guy. In my opinion, your eyes are already good, and Zifeng is very good. When will you get married?"
Chu Yunli cleared her throat: "Father, there is something I forgot to tell you."
King Bei was confused and motioned for her to continue.
"He Zifeng is a spy. In addition to Gu Xun, there are two other princes in the court who have approached him. Including the emperor in the palace, they all want him to be their spy."
King Bei's face was speechless: "So, your brother wants to marry with ulterior motives. It would be better for you to find a multi-faceted spy."
Chu Yunli raised her chin slightly and said proudly: "I persuaded a multi-faceted spy to become one of my own, you should be proud."
Bei Wang: "..."
He waved his hand: "Go back and enlighten your brother."
"I will." Chu Yunli said seriously: "I plan to take him with me to interrogate Hong'er."
I've never seen people's hearts be evil, but Gu Yin just doesn't grow up.
Of course, with his simple mind, this is a setback, but it may not lead to wisdom.
However, if he is not allowed to hear what Liu Hu did with his own ears, maybe if they cry and beg, he will accept them again.
Just thinking about this possibility makes Chu Yunli feel heartbroken.
To be honest, she is not afraid of bad people. After so much experience, what kind of bad people has she not seen?
The only thing I'm afraid of is this kind of naive person. It hurts people's hearts. But I can't blame him.
Chu Yunli left the outer hall, went directly to the courtyard, took Gu Yin with her, and then went to find Hong'er.
At this time, Hong'er's whole body had been bandaged. She was seriously injured, and there were wounds everywhere. After bandaging, her whole body was covered with strips of cloth to bandage the wounds, and only half of her face was still intact.
She was already drowsy, but when she saw Chu Yunli entering the door, she hurriedly got up without caring about the injuries and pain on her body: "Thank you, Princess, for saving my life."
Probably because his mouth was gagged, his voice was still intact.
"I saved you, so naturally I want you to repay me." Chu Yunli motioned Gu Yin to sit on the chair, and she sat on the bedside: "Tell me, tell me all the things your master did to you.
Tell me. If I'm satisfied, maybe I'll let you go."
Hong'er's eyes lit up, and she said directly without questioning whether it was true or not, "I have been following the girl for five years. She is... the daughter of the Zhou family."
He told such a secret inside story as soon as he opened his mouth.
Gu Yin's eyes widened.
Chu Yunli was not surprised. She had not forgotten her fear of taking Hong's childhood Liu Hu with her, so she chased him outside unwillingly.
Liu Hu probably never thought in his wildest dreams that the princess would be so careless as to rob people in the street. No one with self-respect would be able to do such a thing.
"The head of the Zhou family is her father." Hong'er continued: "Madam still occasionally goes out to meet the head of the Zhou family. And it was Madam's intention that the girl approach the prince. She learned of the whereabouts of the prince in advance and deliberately found him.
Some beggars are giving out steamed buns there."
Gu Yin looked confused.
Seeing this, Hong'er was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, so she emphasized: "I found those beggars. The girl personally ordered me."
Gu Yin: "..."
The confusion on his face disappeared instantly, and he completely let go of her.
After all, what he loves is Liu Hu's kindness. Now that he knows that this kindness is fake, and that the woman who is holding a whip and wants to beat people to death is her true face, how can he still love her?
"And..." Hong'er hesitated a little. She stood up, endured the pain and bowed to Chu Yunli on the bed: "This slave's life was saved by the princess. If I hadn't said it to you, I would have been in trouble for the rest of my life.
I won’t say it out loud.”
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "For example?"
Hong'er lowered her head: "Miss, it has been two days since the sunflower water arrived this month. More than ten days ago, she and the fifth prince spent an hour in private."
Gu Yin: "..."
No matter how simple he is, he already has a daughter and he understands what this means.
Chu Yunli once again felt that it was right for her to save this girl. At that time, she just didn't want to see this girl being beaten to death.
Originally, when we were in the restaurant, just by looking at the injuries on the maid's body, we knew that Liu Hu was a violent person. If she rejected him here, he would definitely take out his anger on the maid when he returned.
Hearing Hong'er's words, she was surprised, but also felt normal. If the Zhou family wanted to hook up with the fifth prince, there was nothing more reassuring than an in-law relationship.
It's just that the head of the Zhou family is too good at calculating, or in other words, he is too good at making the best use of everything. Over there, he lets his daughter get married to the fifth prince, and here he wants to be the crown prince... Could he be planning to let his daughter's unborn child become the Prince of the North?
Bar?
This thing is so ridiculous, but the more I think about it, the more reasonable it becomes. If Liu Hu, who is pregnant with the blood of the fifth prince, successfully marries into the Northern Palace, and the fifth prince successfully ascends the throne, this child may really be the heir apparent after Gu Yin.
"Is there anything else?"
Hong'er's face was flushed and she had started to have a high fever.
Chu Yunli did not embarrass her, and asked the doctor to watch carefully, and then went out with a confused Gu Yin.
Just as he was about to give him a few words of explanation, the commander of the guard army came over and reported: "Fu Yiniang, who is on death row, wants to see the prince. After my subordinates went to report, the prince asked his subordinates to come to you."
Gu Yin beside him was so shocked that he looked really bad. Chu Yunli glanced at him and said, "Are you going?"
"Go!" Gu Yin wiped his face: "Let's go."
Fu Yiniang had been on death row for a long time, her body was dirty and messy, and she no longer looked as soft and beautiful as she once had.
When he saw the two siblings, he rushed towards them: "Princess Princess, I have something very important to report, will you let me go?"
Chu Yunli refused casually: "Impossible."
With what she had done, Chu Yunli would never let her go no matter what.
The light in Fu Yiniang's eyes suddenly went out.
Chu Yunli wanted to know what she wanted to report, so he added: "If what you said is really useful to me, I will consider letting you live better and eat better."
Hearing this, Fu Yiniang hesitated for a moment. During this period, she peeked at the expressions of the two siblings several times. Seeing that their expressions were cold, Gu Yin's face no longer showed the tenderness he once showed towards her. She knew in her heart that there was no room for negotiation. In the spirit of
He was able to gain some ideas and said, "I recognize the father-in-law you sent in."
Chu Yunli raised his eyebrows: "Have you seen it?"
Fu Yiniang has never left the northern border from beginning to end, and Wynn only came here after she was imprisoned. How could she possibly know her?

"Yes!" Fu Yiniang said firmly: "When I approached the Crown Prince before, someone actually showed me the way. The man looked ordinary, and you couldn't find him in the crowd. I didn't believe it at the time... the prince's palace was so big.
How dare I dare to commit such a crime?"
"Then, the man said that the prince's strength was exhausted, and all the father-in-laws in the court wanted to clean up the prince's palace. Seeing that I didn't believe it, he gave me a portrait. It was the first time I saw an eunuch, and he was very different from ordinary men.
, so I was particularly impressed. The master behind the person who ordered me was that Wynn."
Gu Xun... He has so many calculations at such a young age, and he is really smart.
How could such a smart person escape?
I just don't know if he escaped because he was smart, or if the emperor showed him the way.
If it's the former, then the prince himself wants to make a contribution, and the Northern Palace can still struggle. If it's the latter, it probably needs to be carefully planned.
In fact, King Bei has been busy with border deployment recently. It is best to change the clothes and weapons of all soldiers.
Fu Yiniang continued to beg for mercy: "Princess Mingjian, I really heard that person say that the palace must not be completed before I was moved. Otherwise, I would not dare to seduce the prince even if I borrowed the courage from God!"
At this point, she thought of something again and said anxiously: "By the way, that medicine was given by the person who ordered me."
That's right, ordinary people can't get such a clever drug to enhance pleasure.
Fortunately, Chu Yunli had already expected this.
When Gu Yin heard Fu Yiniang admit in person that she had plotted against him and deliberately seduced him, her heart, which was already riddled with wounds, suddenly felt even more uncomfortable.
