Chapter 329 Slaves
"..." Chu You, who was three or four feet away, stopped, and his eyes instantly became as deep as ink, dark and dull.
He quietly looked directly into Gu Yanfei's eyes, and the two met their eyes.
Chu You stood beside a willow tree with his hands behind his back, while Gu Yanfei was still sitting on the bench by the lake, standing still.
The girl has a pair of clear eyes that seem to be able to see through everything, as if any plan or scheming cannot escape the eyes of the other party.
Chu You's face didn't show the slightest color, and he was always expressionless, making people unable to see joy and anger.
Beneath the seemingly indifferent exterior, his mind revolved quickly: This matter is very important, and he has not mentioned it to anyone.
As for Fang Mingfeng, although he is stupid, he is not going to talk nonsense at this juncture.
Gu Yanfei couldn't possibly know...
stared at Gu Yanfei for a moment, Chu You calmly brushed off a willow leaf on his shoulders, "This king doesn't understand what second girl Gu means."
Chu You said he didn't understand, but the other people onlookers couldn't help but scatter their thoughts.
The future sister of Princess Kang? !
The future Princess Kang is Gu Yunxiang, the third girl of the Gu family. Does that mean that the daughter-in-law named Zhaodi just now is Gu Yunxiang's sister?
real or fake? !
This is really a wonderful drama!
The clan sons exchanged glances with interest, curious about the origin of the daughter-in-law of the Zeng family.
"So..." Gu Yanfei's lips curled even higher, "That Li Zhaodi has nothing to do with the prince's future princess?"
She raised her hand and pointed in the direction of Li Zhaodi's departure, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips, as if provoking him.
"Your Highness, are you sure?"
"..." Chu You's eyebrows twitched.
The two looked at each other quietly, as if they were engaged in a silent duel.
As the silence spread, the air had a suffocating dignity, and no one spoke for a long time, as if time had stood still.
Chu You gritted his back molars secretly, a struggle flashed in his eyes.
These days, Chu Youshen tried his best to save Gu Yuncong, and even went to Beizhen Fusi several times to coerce and lure him. He Lie finally allowed him to visit the prison, and only then did he meet Gu Yunxiang.
At that time, Gu Yunxiang had been locked in the prison for five full days. The whole person lost a lot of weight, and now there was a blue shadow. The description was very haggard, which made Chu You's heart like a knife.
His son-in-law has never suffered such a crime in his life!
But even so, she still said something to comfort herself: "My lord, I'm fine, I have a clear conscience, and the lord must not take risks for me."
Her thoughtful words were still in her ears, and Chu You's chest was hot.
For the sake of Gu Yunchang, Chu You bowed his head to the emperor again and again, and made many concessions after retreating. He even promised that after the big wedding, he would take Gu Yunchang to the fief and never return to Beijing.
For him, this choice was quite difficult.
The throne has been his goal for the past 20 years. Since he was a child, the late emperor told him that the throne belonged to him. To this end, the late emperor painstakingly arranged for twenty years.
If the late emperor could live for another three to five years, and if Chu Yi died in Yue Kingdom, it might be another situation...
But the late emperor went too suddenly. Now, as a prince, it is a matter of course that he ascended the throne after the death of the late emperor.
In the past year, Chu You has never given up, and he believes that he can fight again, but now, for the sake of Gu Yunxiang, he is determined to give up, however, the emperor still did not agree.
Chu You certainly doesn't want to have anything to do with lowly people like Li Zhaodi, but for his son...
He had no other choice.
Chu You clenched his fists tightly, and said with great difficulty: "That is the sister of Chang'er."
As soon as these words came out, the blood on Zeng Ya's face quickly faded, turning pale, and her legs were as heavy as 10,000 catties.
Kang Kang's answer was no different than corroborating Gu Yanfei's words, Zeng Ya trembled uncontrollably.
"Miss Zeng," Gu Yanfei's cold eyes turned from Chu You's face to Zeng Ya, and sighed regretfully, "You really are a 'madman'."
"No, I don't!" Zeng Ya said sharply, her voice sharper.
Her panicked expression made her words less convincing.
Another gust of wind blew gently, the long willow branches by the lake swayed, and a few willow leaves were flying in the wind in a messy way.
The mood of the others around him was already out of shock, only Chu Yi was calm.
Chu Yi gently shook the folding fan in his hand, with a smile on his brows, his eyes as deep as the sea looked at Gu Yanfei with endless tenderness, and his eyes were full of inseparable wisps.
"What the **** is going on?!" Someone in the crowd whispered.
Just now, when the daughter-in-law named Zhao Di kept saying that Miss Gu Erya was her younger sister Li Erya, they were somewhat dubious.
But now, things have turned around, and King Kang actually admits that Li Zhaodi is the sister of Gu Yuncong, the third girl of the Gu family.
As for the girl Gu San, these noble ladies present are very familiar with them. They are the best among the ladies in the capital in terms of piano, chess, calligraphy, painting, etc., and they have a wide range of contacts. She is a famous figure in Beijing. Last year, she was married by the Queen Mother and became the future Princess Kang.
However, no one knows why Gu Yunchang suddenly changed from the first-born daughter to the second-bedroom's daughter.
In a big family, adopting children or something is not uncommon. If the Gu family doesn’t talk about it, no one will get to the bottom of it. To put it bluntly, it’s someone else’s business.
But now, King Kang actually said that Gu Yuncong's sister was a slave of the Zeng family.
This kind of thing is unheard of, even more bizarre and shocking than the scenes in those playbooks!
Everyone couldn't help but in an uproar, but no one dared to question Chu You face to face, they all looked at him, wanting to see if he would say something else.
However, Chu You pursed his thin lips with a livid face and said nothing.
His silence is a kind of affirmation, which means that what he said just now is not a joke, but a fact.
Everyone was dumbfounded, and they didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
A round-faced girl licked her dry lips and couldn't help but ask, "The servant of the Zeng family just said that her sister is Li Erya, so is the third girl of the Gu family surnamed Gu or Li?"
"Miss Gu San is Li Erya?" a young son said uncertainly.
That is to say, Gu Yunchang is not actually surnamed Gu, but Li?
The future Princess Kang became the younger sister of a slave maid, doesn't it mean that the dignified King Kang wants to marry a family and have a son as a concubine?
This is ridiculous too!
The eyes of everyone looking at Kang Wang became very subtle, and no one paid any attention to whether Zeng Ya was crazy.
Gu Yanfei smiled slightly and asked, "My lord, is it appropriate for Princess Kang's sister to be a person in someone else's house?"
She increased the volume on the word "sister" and ended with a faint sigh.
She used a questioning tone, but she shook her head in disapproval.
Chu You's body suddenly tensed, and he slowly looked at Zeng Ya, his face was gloomy, like an eagle staring at his prey with his sword-like eyes.
The atmosphere was even colder, and there was a faint chill in the air.
Chu You didn't speak, but Zeng Ya shuddered with fright, and she almost used all her strength to not lose her temper.
Zeng Ya bowed her knees to Chu Youfu with difficulty, her voice was a little hoarse: "My lord, the minister will send Zhao Di to the palace later."
Gu Yanfei interjected leisurely: "Then the contract of selling oneself..."
"Of course, the deed of betrayal will also be sent to the palace with everyone!" Zeng Ya couldn't wait to interrupt Gu Yanfei's words, her lips were almost blue, and she didn't dare to look directly at Chu You's sharp and sinister gaze.
Her heart was extremely chaotic, panic, fear, surprise, anxiety, resentment, etc. were rolling in her heart, and the middle clothes behind her were soaked with sweat.
She really didn't understand why King Kang recognized this matter, it was fundamentally because King Kang had all the harm and no benefit.
Was King Kang coerced by Gu Yanfei?
Or, what method did Gu Yanfei use to control the minds of others?
All kinds of speculations came to mind, Zeng Ya's heart was even more chaotic, and her hands were shaking like chaff.
This incident involves King Kang, which means that she publicly exposed King Kang's shortcomings. She can be sure that she will not get better when she returns today.
Zeng Ya's fingernails were almost bleeding from the palm of her hand, and she tried to explain calmly: "My lord, the servant girl took in Zhao Di because she was pitiful. I really didn't expect Zhao Di to talk nonsense..."
She tried to separate herself, telling herself that she was right, but her hands were shaking uncontrollably. She had never been so frightened as she is today.
"No." Gu Yanfei interrupted Zeng Ya gently and skillfully, and said categorically, "You are crazy."
After , she turned her head to look at Chu You, who was a few meters away, and asked again with a smile, "Your Highness, is that right?"
Gu Yanfei slightly slanted his cheeks, Hui Yan smiled, and smiled sweetly.
She believes that she is not a generous person, and she is very stingy.
She doesn't mind showing this in front of everyone, so next time, when others want to provoke her, they will naturally weigh whether they can bear their own counterattack.
Chu You's heart was a mess, and when he heard the words, he was even more angry, and his eyes were uncertain.
After trying everything to no avail, he could only lower his head and look for Fang Mingfeng.
Only then did I know that Fang Mingfeng actually brought the Li family to the capital.
This time, Gu Jian's mother and son were involved in the Yu family's treason case. The crime involved conspiracy and the whole family. Now Gu Yunxuan is Gu Jian's daughter in name, and it is recorded in the Gu family tree. However.
Even if Chu You can persuade the emperor to agree to pardon Gu Yunxuan's innocence, and as the daughter of Gu Yunxuan's criminal minister, he will not do much for the court, and he may not be able to marry Gu Yunxuan as his concubine again.
Unless, Gu Yuncong is not Gu Jian's daughter.
Unless, Gu Yuncong has nothing to do with Gu Jian and is removed from the Gu family tree.
Just so—
"Chu You, you can think about it clearly. In this way, the real life experience of 嫆嫆 will be completely disclosed in front of others, and it will no longer be able to hide it. I am afraid that 嫆嫆 will become a joke for others after a meal."
Fang Mingfeng can think of these things, and of course Chu You can also think of it. With Gu Yuncong's spirit, he would not be willing to be the laughing stock of others.
For the past two days, Chu You has been hesitating and weighing.
He also wanted to think about it more carefully, whether there was a more suitable way to let Gu Yuncong and the Gu family get rid of the relationship, and then settle down a decent identity for the Li family.
The Li family, who was born into a family, is inferior to ordinary civilians!
But before he could arrange everything, this happened.
At this moment, Chu You really had the heart to kill Zeng Ya!
Zeng Ya was smart, and Gu Yanfei pressed him step by step, forcing him to have no choice.
In the blink of an eye, Chu You was already thinking about it and made a decision in his heart.
He stared at Zeng Ya with icy eyes, and said word by word, "This king's future princess has a sister who was lost a few days ago. These days, this king ordered people to look for people everywhere, but I didn't expect that it was your Zeng family. turned away."
"Your Zeng family abducted people first, and now you have to reverse right and wrong here. If you don't have evil spirits, is it because the Zeng family intends to provoke the royal family, so that this king and the first prince's uncle and nephew are at odds?!"
"People are crazy like this, and the Zeng family even let you come to the palace, it's really indecent!"
Different from Gu Yanfei, who had always spoken softly, Chu You made no secret of his thunderous anger, and the conclusion was already settled in just a few words, leaving Zeng Ya no room for rebuttal or questioning.
He said that Zeng Ya is crazy, then Zeng Ya is crazy, otherwise, the Zeng family has a sinister heart.
Just choose one of the two, even if Zeng Ya doesn't choose, the Zeng family will choose for her.
"..." Zeng Ya felt Chu You's anger, and looked at his brow with blue veins in horror, but still stood up straight, unwilling to lose the demeanor of the noble family.
She is not afraid of King Kang, and King Kang can't do anything to her. The problem is that she did it without authorization, and if the news reaches the family, her father and brother will be angry.
In order to quell the influence of this incident, even if she is not crazy, she is afraid that she will be named by her father, brother and clan.
Just like his great-uncle and grandfather Zeng Yue.
Uncle and grandfather Zeng Yue was a very contradictory person. On the one hand, he was amazing and brilliant, leaving behind a series of poems that have been handed down from time to time. On the other hand, he was crazy by nature and had many fantastic ideas. He said that he could perform surgery on the patient's belly, and then in front of Yuan's wife, he said that he would make a personal maid as his wife, regardless of size, on an equal footing...
Outsiders only know that Zeng Yue was burned to death by the Taoist practice, but she accidentally heard the secret conversation between her father and brother, and then she knew the truth was not the case.
It turned out that the Taoist priest was not invited by the Zeng family, but was ordered by the late emperor, who was afraid of Zeng Yue and wanted him to die.
The monarch wants the subject to die, and the subject has to die, so Zeng Yue can only die.
She will have the same ending as Zeng Yue.
"Someone, take them away!" Chu You ordered coldly.
"I..." Zeng Ya panicked, and finally couldn't help but take a step back, at a loss.
She was in a dilemma, she not only offended Gu Yanfei, but also offended King Kang.
If she admits that she deliberately induced Li Zhaodi to slander Gu Yanfei, then she becomes a sinister villain.
If she doesn't say anything, then she won't be able to clear her name as a madman.
No matter what the situation is, it will definitely tarnish the family's reputation, and the family can't spare her.
Zeng Ya has six gods and no masters and sweats like rain. At this moment, no matter what she says, it is wrong.
