Gu Hua Jing didn't want to speak up for Bai Lingtian, but she wanted to be honest. At the very least, Bai Lingtian had never added insult to injury, and that was the gap between them.
Han Xizhi watched as the car moved further and further away, slowly closing his eyes.
How could he compare to Bai Lingtian? It wasn't that he hadn't heard these words before, but why did Gu Hua Jing's words hurt?
In the evening, Feng Rong came to eat at Gu Huanjing's place.
Gu Hua Jing very consciously ordered her servants to go out and tell him about her situation in the palace.
"I didn't expect the Emperor to appear. I thought you would hold him back."
Feng Rong smiled lightly as she heard this, "I was just pretending to enter the palace with you. royal father, you didn't see me at all."
"…"
Gu Hua Jing's heart was moved. Didn't she see him? His own son had requested an audience, and the Emperor hadn't even seen him?
Was the Emperor such a person, or was he only aimed at Feng Rong?
Feng Rong stared into Gu Hua Jing's eyes, and could roughly guess what she was thinking.
"If I want to see royal father, I can't not follow the other princes, and royal father won't see me alone. Today … if you receive any cold treatment, don't take it to heart."
After all, he was still a prince.
Gu Hua Jing subconsciously kneaded her knees. When she returned to the mansion, they were already purple. Qing Mei had used her medicinal wine to push it away, but it still hurt a bit.
Seeing Gu Hua Jing's actions, Feng Rong lifted the hem of her skirt. Through her panties, one could see a frightening purple color.
"Kneeling for a long time?"
"For a moment, the bruised blood will disperse. It will be fine."
Gu Hua Jing wanted to put down her skirt, but this kind of posture … she felt a little embarrassed.
Feng Rong let her let her go, but she stood up and took out the ointment from the cabinet as if she was familiar with it.
"Sit on the bed."
"..." "It's really, really no big deal."
"You want me to carry you over?"
"…"
Gu Hua Jing obediently stood up and walked over by herself, but why did Feng Rong look the same every now and then?
Just a few days ago, he was acting like a lunatic. Yet, at this moment, he was so considerate. As expected … Very capricious.
Feng Rong placed Gu Hua Jing's leg on her own leg, exposing the bruise on her leg. She poured some medicinal oil on it to rub it warm, then gently rubbed it for her.
Although Gu Hua Jing liked to flirt with beauties, this kind of skin contact was not possible.
Feng Rong's fingers were long and slender, and her joints were distinct. For some reason, there was actually a thin cocoon in her palm.
When she kneaded his knee, Gu Hua Jing's heart started beating like crazy.
It was just her instinct. She wanted to slap herself.
"Like I said, I will give you everything you want, including the respect and love between husband and wife. I will never go back on my word."
Feng Rong's low voice calmed Gu Hua Jing down.
Ah, that's right. Otherwise, what else could it be?
"Esteemed wangfei has a soft and amiable personality. She didn't even wake you up. There was some intention to beat you up inside, but she didn't refuse the emperor's privilege of calling you over to her."
Feng Rong's voice contained faint praise, "You did well, that's enough."
"Grand Concubine Jing, you've also received guidance from Master Hui Jin?"
A few years ago, after the Empress lost her first child, she went to Jade Flower Temple and met Master Hui Jin. After returning to the palace, Jing Fei was really excited.
So magical?
Gu Hua Jing nodded, thinking back to what Esteemed Empress Jing had said. She said that until then, she wouldn't be able to comprehend it.
Why did esteemed wangfei suddenly understand everything?
"Hiss …"
Gu Hua Jing raised her head, revealing a serious expression, "It's better if you don't knead it. Those girls of yours can't be cruel."
You can't be so cruel, can you?
Gu Hua Jing bit her lip. The waves of pain made her feel extremely uncomfortable, but she also knew that it was best for her to quickly crush it.
Her knees were rubbed open with oil before Feng Rong put her legs down.
"In short, in the future, perhaps esteemed wangfei will summon you to the palace again. Just don't make her loathe you."
"I'll try my best."
Feng Rong glanced at her, but didn't say anything. She left Gu Hua Jing's courtyard.
Gu Hua Jing felt that the following days would be peaceful and peaceful, right? After all, she had reached an agreement with the great demon king.
Unfortunately, she forgot that the one she married was not an ordinary person, but a prince.
As long as she was a prince, she would not be able to keep her reputation in the capital.
"I don't understand. I'm already married, how can I spread rumors with Bai Lingtian?" Who would be so free? "
Green Branch looked anxious. "Madam, it's that song you played in the yard. It was spread out somehow. It is said that you never forget your old friendship with Master Bai …"
"They're so concerned about me, how can I forget about them?!"
Gu Hua Jing slammed her hands on the table. She had gone mad from the previous time when she was sealed. Now that she heard such rumors, she felt that her days had been too good, didn't she?
That same night, Feng Rong came to Gu Hua Jing's courtyard.
Gu Hua Jing was the first to make the first move. When she saw Feng Rong, she immediately put on the face of an aunt, "It has nothing to do with me. I was sick so I let that song spread."
Seeing her like this, Feng Rong was actually amused.
"What, you want to make such a melody, but now you don't want to recognize it?"
"I still want to live a good life. Why do you need to do this?"
"That's true."
Feng Rong nodded her head in agreement, and looked around the courtyard. "So, it was spread by your people."
"No."
"If you only played and sang in the courtyard, who else could it be but them?"
Feng Rong narrowed her eyes. She was in his residence, yet she was doing things that were not allowed to be done by herself. Such a person would rather kill a thousand wrong than let one go!
Seeing the ice-cold killing intent in Feng Rong's eyes, Gu Hua Jing immediately raised her voice, "I already said, it's not them."
"How can you be sure? If you keep that person by your side, will you be at ease? "
"There's no doubt that they won't use them. I can guarantee that it definitely won't be them."
Feng Rong shook her head slightly. She was still too soft-hearted. She thought that this woman was smart.
"If it's not them, then who could it be?"
"I don't know, it wasn't them."
Gu Hua Jing began to be unreasonable. Everyone in her courtyard could be trusted. She believed in her eyes, and also believed in their loyalty.
Feng Rong wrinkled her brows, she wanted to say something, but saw the determination in Gu Hua Jing's eyes.
He really doesn't know the meaning of the word!
However, even if he did, he only wanted to make an example out of Gu Hua Jing.
If this news were to spread out, it would cause far less harm to Gu Hua Jing than it did to himself. This was all directed at him.
When he thought about it, those spies that he had deliberately recruited finally lost their patience.
"If you insist, then prove it to me."
"..." How do you want me to prove it? "
Feng Rong held her head, and a stunning smile appeared on her peerless face.
"Then, it will depend on your ability, Madam."
"Let me do what I want?"
"Do whatever you want."
Gu Hua Jing understood. What Feng Rong meant was that she wanted to use her to clean up the backyard.
He was quite good at scheming. When the time came, he would give others a feeling as if he was indulging himself in tormenting others.
But since he said so, I can't let him down, can I? At the very least, he had to prove that everyone around her was innocent.
Thus, Gu Hua Jing, who had never intended to deal with matters concerning the concubines, straightforwardly took over the matter.
"I just took it over and I don't understand it. Tell me, who are these people doing this?"
The woman who was originally in charge of all this knew how much Feng Rong valued Gu Hua Jing, so she immediately explained everything in a meticulous manner.
Who knew that Gu Hua Jing wasn't satisfied? She wanted to clearly understand the scope of a servant's duties.
In an instant, everyone in the backyard had turned upside down. One by one, they walked in front of Gu Hua Jing and explained.
Gu Hua Jing asked the little girl to record everything down one by one. If there was any overlap or something that wasn't right, she would immediately call for a confrontation.
Feng Rong liked to be luxurious, but she didn't care about the food in the mansion. It wasn't difficult for the servants of the mansion to get something out of it.
With this investigation, the questions emerged one by one.
Gu Hua Jing didn't want to help Feng Rong clean up the mansion, so she asked one person after another if they had any questions.
As long as they could provide information that no one else knew, she would not pursue matters that were worth more than a crime.
As long as there were many people, there would be a lot of them. After Gu Hua Jing dealt with a few, a secret slowly emerged.
"This little one once saw Miss Bi He hiding outside Madam's courtyard to eavesdrop. This little one didn't say anything. This little one is loyal and devoted to Your Highness, please watch …"
"Did you see wrongly? "Bi He … I saw it. How could a weak and gentle girl like her do such a thing?"
"This little one swears to the heavens that I'm not mistaken, she is indeed Miss Bi He."
"Alright, you can leave now."
"Then Madam, about this little matter …"
Gu Hua Jing shot him a glance, and was immediately dragged out.
Bi He?
An extremely quiet and obedient figure appeared in Gu Hua Jing's mind. She was always wearing a green skirt, aqua-green, light green, lake-green …
Every time, she would shyly curl up in a corner, completely devoid of any feeling of presence.
Such a woman could actually eavesdrop?
"Go and find out. On the day His Highness destroyed my guqin, Bi He was in her room."
Greenwood rolled his eyes and went out.
After she came back, she whispered something in Gu Hua Jing's ear. A trace of relief appeared in Gu Hua Jing's eyes.
So what if she said it? How could it be someone from his own courtyard?
"I heard you found out what happened?"
When Gu Hua Jing saw Feng Rong's lazy appearance, she became angry. He was so carefree, yet he was still bitterly laughing about it. It really wasn't fair.
"There are new rumors out there. They say I'm proud of you, that I know you're worried about others, and that you're allowed to overturn the heavens in your mansion. Is this rumour interesting?"
"Not at all."
Gu Hua Jing pursed her lips, "That day, Bi He wasn't in her courtyard. A servant saw her eavesdropping outside our hospital."
"Oh? So, this song and the rumors were all released by her? "
"I think so."
"Then, Madam, what do you plan to do with it?"
Gu Hua Jing's eyes were wide open. How she dealt with this matter was still her business.
