So, Qian Mochen was definitely a person who was very familiar with Situ Jing. Wow, you Qian Mochen, you clearly knew that she wanted to know everything about Situ Jing, yet he still hid it from her until now?

"You know Situ Jing, right?"

Upon seeing Qian Mochen, Gu Shiyi went straight to the point and blocked him in his room to prevent him from escaping.

"What? I thought you knew?"

Qian Mochen frowned, could it be that the words he said to her the other day, Gu Shiyi thought that he was spouting nonsense?

"Of course I know. So, tell me everything I want to know!"

Gu Shiyi's face showed that she succeeded, but since Qian Mochen had already admitted it, then did that mean that she was not far from the truth?

"Even though I know Situ Jing, I only met him a year ago. Do you think I would know?"

Qian Mochen crossed his arms across his chest, and looked down at Gu Shiyi's face which had been messed up by her, frowning.

Gu Shiyi was stunned at first, then after staring at Qian Mochen for a while, she directly turned her head and left without turning her head back, because she thought of another person who would definitely know everything.

After Gu Shiyi left the Thousand Star Pavilion, he turned and headed towards the direction of the residence.

His father, Gu Minghong, was an official in the imperial court for more than twenty years, so it was impossible that he did not know about Situ Jing.

Gu Shiyi waited in Gu Minghong's study until it was almost dark before she walked in with a cold aura. It was obvious that he heard that Gu Shiyi was waiting for him in the study, so she came in a hurry to see Gu Shiyi the moment she returned.

"I only know that Situ Jing's body was suddenly crippled when he was thirteen, but I'm afraid only the late emperor and His Majesty knows the details inside."

Gu Minghong listened to Gu Shiyi's suspicions, and after thinking for a while, he told everything he knew to Gu Shiyi.

"Then why did Father warn Eleven to be careful of Shangguan Xianyue?"

So, did Gu Minghong also know about the dispute between Situ Jing and himself?

"Now that I think about it, no one in the entire Great Liu Kingdom knows about Shangguan Xianyue's love and admiration for Situ Jing, and no one doesn't know about it."

Therefore, it was understandable that he would know of all these. Moreover, anyone who participated in politics would know all about Shangguan Xianyue's affairs like the back of their hand, not to mention a high official like him, a first grade prime minister.

"Eleven, listen to father's words of persuasion. If His Majesty summons you to the palace tomorrow, then no matter what demands he makes on you, you must first agree."

Gu Minghong's face had a look of worry, which was also why when he heard that Gu Shiyi was waiting for him in the study, he rushed over quickly. At the imperial court today, all the officials had already started an argument about the marriage between Gu Shiyi and the Great Liu Kingdom, and judging from the emperor's meaning, he would summon 11 people to the palace tomorrow.

"I understand. Father, it's getting late, I should also return to the manor. Please rest early."

Gu Shiyi immediately agreed. With the light behind her back, Gu Minghong could not see the expression on her face, and she did not want him to see it either.

Just as she stepped out of the gates of the residence, she saw the carriage belonging to the Prince Su Palace. Gu Shiyi's heart was suddenly filled with an indescribable sense of irritation.

Just what kind of attitude did Situ Jing have towards this entire matter? Why did he disappear after this matter came out?

Since her father said that Situ Ming would summon her into the palace tomorrow, then she would definitely meet him as well. Alright, she wasn't in a rush.

Perhaps because Gu Shiyi had thought it through, Gu Shiyi had a rare night of good sleep and Situ Jing did not come back.

And sure enough, when Gu Shiyi had just finished eating her breakfast, the eunuch by her side came over, and told her that there was nothing different from what Gu Minghong had told her the day before.

On the contrary, he had instructed Lv Zhu and the others to help her change into the imperial concubine's formal attire. Right after Lv Zhu had combed an extremely elegant and noble bun for her, without losing out to the young girl's sweet hair, Gu Shiyi took over the makeup on her face, and began to make up his own face.

Although the makeup products used by the Great Xia Kingdom were not as complicated and advanced as those used today, but there were all sorts, so Gu Shiyi was still able to use them quite smoothly.

What she had made for herself was a peach blossom makeup that had always flourished in modern times. This makeup was not only charming and exquisite, but also had a bit of a mischievous feeling.

Gu Shiyi looked at her perfect self in the mirror and nodded. She didn't see the big mouth of the little girl behind him.

This time when they entered the palace, Gu Shiyi did what the princess had to do, and received all sorts of gazes filled with shock and infatuation along the way. When she walked into the Imperial Palace gracefully, all the ministers and emperors in the palace could not help but hold their breaths.

The heavens were truly too beautiful. How could there be such a heavenly beauty in this world? No, when a Heavenly Immortal was compared to her, they would only lose their luster.

He had never seen a woman who could have eyes as deep and brilliant as the stars, nor a woman who could have tender and soft lips. Whether it was her eyebrows, or her nose, every part of her body could be said to be top-notch.

Gu Shiyi saw Situ Jing, who was sitting on a wheelchair, and Shangguan Xianyue, who was dressed in fine clothes, standing right next to him in the center of the hall. Looking at the two standing side by side, Gu Shiyi felt that they were extremely eye-catching.

At this moment, she was standing in a line with Situ Jing who was sitting on his wheelchair, and did not even glance at Situ Jing once.

Situ Jing had only glanced at her once when he saw Gu Shiyi standing beside him and that one glance alone already made the corners of his eyes redden. He wanted to lock Gu Shiyi in the Yining Courtyard and not let her be seen by the world ever again.

He never thought that Gu Shiyi would dress up like this today. He had thought that her plain appearance would be the one that would move his heart the most, but he never thought that the moment she dressed up, she would actually be able to hold his heart tightly and never be able to pretend to be someone else.

As she was a princess of a country, Shangguan Xianyue did not deliberately look at Gu Shiyi like the others did after she passed down the message to the eunuchs. Now, when she saw that Gu Shiyi was standing beside Situ Jing the same as her, she could not help but shoot a haughty glance at Gu Shiyi in disdain.

She had long heard that Gu Shiyi was Great Xia Kingdom's number one beauty, but she never would have thought that she would be so beautiful that it would make people angry. Even as the number one beauty of Great Liu Kingdom, she couldn't help but feel inferior at this moment.

However, she was a princess, the second person to wield overwhelming power in the Great Liu Kingdom. How could she allow someone like her, who was once known for her profound strength, to compare with her?
