"…" Feng Rong slightly relaxed her grip, but still held on tightly.

Gu Hua Jing's lips curved up in a knowing smile, "Your Highness doesn't want to?" If Your Highness is unwilling, I will think of another way. "

"No, I'd love to."

When Feng Rong let go of her hand, Gu Hua Jing heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. She then pushed the sweet soup in front of Feng Rong.

"Then I'll go back first."

Gu Hua Jing walked out the door, her heart still thumping loudly.

She also felt that she was a bit bold, but she was just curious.

Did Feng Rong have any thoughts about that seat?

If not, then everyone would be happy. Wouldn't it be good to be the Carefree King?

But if there was...

Gu Hua Jing immediately felt her head ache again.

It seemed that the possibility of this happening was much higher!

He had originally thought that Feng Rong was only a prince who liked to have fun and had no intentions of chasing after her. But now, he realized that those people outside had probably been deceived.

No matter what Feng Rong did, she revealed an indescribable strangeness to her.

What was he planning? As a prince, what could he do other than become the crown prince?

Gu Hua Jing stopped and held onto a crimson pillar under the eaves.

On the surface, at least, it would appear that it would not be easy for the enthronement ceremony to be held. What about the Second and Fourth Princes?

What's more, it seemed like even the Emperor had an inexplicable amount of indifference towards the Configurehead.

His future was uncertain …

Gu Hua Jing simply sat down next to the beauty. She rested her chin on the back of her hand and looked at the green bamboo that was not far away.

She wasn't worried about whether or not Feng Rong's wish could be fulfilled. What she was worried about was that if Feng Rong's ambition was exposed, then as long as a prince other than himself ascended to the throne, Feng Rong would definitely not have a good ending!

He had to think of a plan before that happened.

On Gu Hua Jing's side, she was racking her brains. In the study room, while drinking the sweet soup, Feng Rong revealed a smile.

He had never felt things were so smooth. He didn't even need to point it out. Gu Hua Jing's actions perfectly matched his intentions.

It should be possible for him to guess it, right?

What a cute girl. She didn't like the power struggle in the backyard, but was very sensitive to these things.

What would she do?

Feng Rong scooped a spoonful of soup into her bowl and was actually looking forward to it.

Gu Hua Jing was too lazy to ask whether Feng Rong had given the prescription to Lifei.

She had to go home.

"Second sister in law, where are the brothers? In the Hall? "

Yang Jiayao nodded, with a grave expression on her face. She then took Gu Hua Jing to the Xuanshui Hall.

In the hall, only Gu Hua Lei and Gu Hua Ran were present.

"Fourth sister, what happened at His Highness's place?"

"What is it?"

Gu Hua Jing was baffled by the question. The letter that he sent her to the mansion said that he had something important to discuss. Could it be that he missed a letter? Missed the whole thing?

Gu Hua Ran let out a sigh of relief upon seeing Gu Hua Jing's reaction.

"If you don't know, it means that the situation isn't dangerous. It's good."

"Bro … what are you guys talking about?"

Gu Hua Lei told her to sit down and briefly explain what had happened to Feng Rong recently.

Although the disguise wasn't as impressive as the second prince Feng Mu or the fourth prince Feng Yao, it was still a prince after all.

His work was not light, nor was it heavy. It would not cause much of a commotion, but if there were any mishaps, it would be enough.

But that was the job. There were problems every few days.

"Big Brother, you're saying that someone reported the appearance of her concubine? That he was in a personal relationship? "

Gu Hua Jing's eyes flashed for a moment before returning to normal in the blink of an eye.

"That can't be, right? He's in the imperial court and doesn't have any influence at all. Who is he going to form a alliance with?"

"The whistleblower only grabs the hint and says there's such a possibility, but he won't be able to produce any substantial evidence. But just this alone is more than enough for him to bear."

Gu Hua Lei was afraid that he would implicate Jing Jing, so he looked worried.

"Now is the critical time. Any movement can cause a person to fall for it. Even if they are framed, I'm afraid the Second and Fourth Princes will not treat it as a joke."

Gu Hua Jing was unsatisfied, "But there's no evidence, so how can this be?"

"It doesn't matter if there is or not evidence. The most important thing is that the Second and Fourth Princes are suspicious and want to suppress them. That is enough."

Gu Hua Ran's words didn't sound like he was joking.

Gu Hua Jing carefully recalled Feng Rong's recent reaction. Hmm … It seemed like he … The frequency of calling out for people in the study was low?

But other than that, there were no other changes. Where did it look like he was being falsely suspected?

"Jingjing, if it's necessary, we …"

"No need."

Gu Hua Jing rejected him without thinking, "Big brother, third brother, I know the Gu Family's position. They won't help each other in order to maintain a balance. You don't have to worry about me, I'm fine."

Finally, Gu Hua Jing added, "If, ah, if something really happens to Feng Rong in the end, it won't be too late for you to save me again."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Gu Hua Jing stuck out her tongue mischievously. Her bright and lively expression made Gu Hua Lei feel at ease.

Gu Hua Jing happily laughed, but from time to time her eyes swept over to Gu Hua Ran's direction.

This brother of his was about to reach the acme of perfection. If he was so perfunctory, he probably wouldn't be able to pass it right?

Sure enough, after a while, Gu Hua Ran was about to bring Gu Hua Jing to pick a brocade carp from his courtyard.

"They are all of excellent quality and are raised in ponds. They are very creative."

Gu Hua Ran slowly led Gu Hua Jing to the edge of the pool, where he let the servants put down the bucket and net bag. He rolled up his sleeves and actually wanted to do it himself.

"Third brother is only here to fish for me to play with?"

"That … What else would you have said? Could it be that you have something else that you didn't have the time to say?"

Look, it really was about to turn into a spirit.

Gu Hua Jing curled her lips and found a place to sit under a shade tree, holding her chin as she watched Gu Hua Ran fish.

These golden carp were not afraid of humans anymore. Seeing shadows on the water surface, they gathered together, their bright red color like flames.

Gu Hua Ran picked up a few fat and cheerful fish and walked over with a bucket of water.

"Your Highness, do you have any plans to compete?"

"..." That's your man's business, I'm a woman, how would I know that? "

"Is that so?"

"..." "Probably …"

Gu Hua Ran laughed and placed the bucket in front of her, giving her another willow branch to play with.

"As I said earlier, Third Prince is someone that is not that simple. However, I also did not expect that his ambition might be that unimaginable."

"Third brother, if, I mean, if he had that kind of thought, what would happen?"

Gu Hua Ran silently stared at the sky with a blade of grass in his mouth.

Just when Gu Hua Jing thought he wouldn't answer, Gu Hua Ran slowly opened his mouth.

"A person who is good at patience is able to hide his intentions for so long without revealing anything. I really can't say. "

"However, one thing is certain."

"What is it?"

Gu Hua Ran lowered his head and seriously looked at Gu Hua Jing.

"If you want to achieve that position, the thing that you cannot have the most is your children's relationship. You … you need to first come up with a plan."

"…"

Gu Hua Jing, on the other hand, laughed. She already had a plan. That twin fish jade carving was her escape route.

"Don't worry about this big brother, but big brother, you actually have so much confidence in Feng Rong?"

Gu Hua Ran casually spat out the grass roots, "It's not that I'm confident, it's just that I feel scared. Someone who hides too much is always scary."

Was it terrifying...?

Almost every day now, Feng Rong would come to Gu Hua Jing's courtyard for dinner.

Gu Hua Jing was also used to it. It was the same whether he was there or not. Going to the kitchen to order was her favorite food.

After the meal, Feng Rong didn't rush to her study in a hurry. Instead, she drank tea and chatted with Gu Hua Jing.

"I keep having the feeling that the way you're looking at me isn't right after you went back home today?"

"Your Highness is overthinking."

Gu Hua Jing quickly withdrew her gaze and focused on drinking her tea.

Was this person really as his third brother had said, a terrifying person that hid his true abilities? She agreed with the fearsomeness, but hid it well. What if it was just an illusion?

"But what did your brothers tell you?"

"Hehehe, how could I? His Highness is so wise and wise."

Gu Hua Jing's flattering words came easily, she didn't even need to write a draft.

After she finished perusing, she suddenly raised her head. "Your Highness, back then His Highness allowed me to marry him, so I obediently married him. If I could help Your Highness fulfill his wish, would Your Highness be able to keep the Gu family safe?"

Feng Rong's eyes darkened. With a light wave of her hand, the servants in the surroundings immediately disappeared.

"Why did Madame suddenly mention this?"

"Just to find a guarantee, Your Highness?"

Gu Hua Jing's face was smooth and clean, and her clear eyes were flashing with hope. She was like a child craving candy, waiting for her promise.

Feng Rong subconsciously wanted to nod, but she held her tongue when the words came out of her mouth.

"Madam, you're overthinking things. The Gu family has been loyal for generations, how can they be saved?"

The smile on Gu Hua Jing's lips didn't change, but the starlight in her eyes gradually dimmed.

"Your Highness is right …"

As if she was sighing, Feng Rong looked over again, but Gu Hua Jing was no longer looking at him. She held a fat cup of water in both hands, sipping on it.

A trace of regret flashed through Feng Rong's heart, but she didn't think about it too much.

He would never rashly give any promises, but why did he feel so uncomfortable seeing Gu Huanjing give up so easily?

It was as if if if she pestered him one more time and smiled at him one more time, he might …

Gu Hua Jing, on the other hand, had already stopped thinking about it.

Actually, she was just asking out of a whim. With Feng Rong's eccentric personality, it would be strange if he agreed without hesitation.

However, his third brother said that if Feng Rong really had the heart to fight over the matter, she might not lose.

Then at that time, would he be able to become a imperial concubine or something?

"What is Madame thinking?"

Gu Hua Jing quickly retracted her brain and chuckled while shaking her head, "It's nothing much, I'm just randomly thinking."

If she really was just blindly thinking, she was unwilling to drag herself into the whirlpool of palace fights. That would really let down her heart of yearning for freedom.

When Feng Rong saw her perfunctory smile, she felt an indescribable anxiety in her heart.
