Chapter 551: The Trap 5
Gu Yunhe nodded.
He knew this point well. His mother told him about a few things the day before – she told him that the reason why the Zhang family were ruined was because the Young Master of the family dared to touch the King’s woman.
Gu Yunhe was wild, but not stupid.
The Gu Family was rising right now, but no matter how much it had been promoted, it was still much lower than that of the imperial family.
If he could marry the Princess, then he could definitely behave wildly outside the court, but he should not touch anything inside the court. He needed to stay alive.
Zhou Huailing felt a.s.sured as he saw this man’s cautious look. The Gu Family had been clear-minded all this while. That was what he had noticed.
The Gu Family might be wild in front of others, but in front of him, the whole family were behaving politely and sucking up to him openly.
Zhou Huailing liked the way the family treated him. Otherwise he would not have made so many efforts to take care of the family.
It was great that the family had self-awareness.
Zhou Huailing took him to court.
They were taking a narrow path, when he pointed at a place not too far away. “That is Princess Xunyang’s palace, located next to the Queen’s Weiyang Palace, so be very careful about it.”
“Let’s wait a while here. There is a puppy in the Weiyang Palace, and Xunyang likes walking the puppy at this hour. You can go to her when you see her.”
Gu Yunhe nodded, looking very excited. He was waiting to do some work.
The two had been lingering around for almost an hour when Xunyang came with Susu.
Zhou Huailing let out a sigh of relief. “Here she is, let’s go.”
Gu Yunhe nodded. He was feeling rather nervous.
Everything was moving forward so fast. Honestly, he had been a man who was turned down by a maid, and now he was going to talk with the princess and may marry her soon! That was indeed very intense!
Zhou Huailing looked relaxed as he started to head towards Princess Xunyang.
Seeing the man coming, Susu came to Princess Xunyang cautiously, “Princess Xunyang, let’s just go back to the court.”
Princess Xunyang frowned too.
That man was her fourth brother, but the man next to him was a stranger. Also, outer men were not supposed to be around this area, what was he doing bringing this man along with him. She suddenly realized that something was wrong. “Let’s head back.”
“Xunyang!” Zhou Huailing shouted.
Princess Xunyang had to stop. She looked at Zhou Huailing. “What is it, Fourth Brother?”
“Nothing really, it is just that I lost a jade as I pa.s.sed by earlier, so I am here trying to find it. You have a maid here, let her look for it with me,” Zhou Huailing said naturally.
Look for a jade? Well, lost things should be sought by the people in the court, but she only had Susu with her, how could that work out?
“I will go and fetch some more maids for you,” Princess Xunyang said calmly.
“It is okay, that is not very important, just search around and see if you can find it.” Then he looked at Susu. “Go and check there.”
Susu did not dare to do that. Everyone could tell that Lord Ling was up to something. She was not deserting the princess and leaving her alone.
Xunyang threw a look at Zhou Huailing and the stranger next to him. She had a plan.
“Susu, just do it,” Princess Xunyang said.
Susu was unwilling to do it, but she had to obey the princess’ order.
Seeing Susu leaving, Zhou Huailing suddenly said, “I remember that I pa.s.sed by that place, I will go and check.” Then he left.
Gu Yunhe was therefore left alone.
