Will succeed

As Li Jue's personal bodyguard, although Zhong Li strictly belonged to the category of servants, none of the people in the East Palace dared to underestimate him.

Anyone in the East Palace knows that Zhongli has been by Li Jue's side for many years, and has already gained Li Jue's deep trust. Even the Crown Princess is courteous to him.

No one wants to offend such a person who is both skilled and able to speak in front of the prince.

And Gu Qiuying is just a side concubine, so naturally she doesn't want to offend such a person.She just froze for a moment, then she calmed down and said in a slightly flattering tone, "I don't know why Guard Zhong came here?"

However, Zhong Li did not buy Gu Qiuying's account, and still had the same indifferent face: "I have seen Concubine Gu, Zhong Li is ordered by His Highness to let everyone in Xiyuan go to the middle hall. Your Highness, wait there."

Gu Qiuying's face changed when she heard the words, she didn't care about Zhongli's attitude at all.She paid more attention to Zhong Li's words, "Your Highness, wait there".

It seems that Yingque holds a lot of weight in His Highness's heart, His Highness actually called Zhongli to deliver a message, isn't this a warning to her in advance?

The more Gu Qiuying thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, but she dared not speak out.Looking at Zhong Li's face that never changed, Gu Qiuying couldn't help her if she didn't want to go.

"Since that's the case, let Guard Zhong go first."

Although the content of the words was polite, everyone present could hear that Gu Qiuying's gnashing of teeth could no longer be concealed.

"Don't dare." Zhong Li said that he didn't dare, but he still walked ahead of the crowd.

Because of Li Jue's order, even if Ying Que fell into a coma, he was carried to the middle hall by the servants.

The huge momentum of this road has already spread throughout the entire East Palace.Everyone speculated and discussed this matter, making Gu Qiuying's face turn green and pale.

The crown princess and side concubine Su who heard the news also rushed to the middle hall. The crown princess did not expect that Gu Qiuying would do such an extreme thing, knocking everyone out!

Of course, she was happy with how it turned out.If Yingque was beaten to death as a weak person, Gu Qiuying would definitely be punished by Li Jue.At that time, her goal of killing two birds with one stone will be achieved.

Thinking about the scene for a while, the princess couldn't help but feel proud.

Unlike Pei Yuru, Su Peiyu over there was not at all happy.With a worried look on her face, those who didn't know thought she had a good relationship with Ying Que or Gu Qiuying, so she was so worried about them.

When they all arrived at the middle hall, Li Jue had been waiting there for a long time, but he still had a gentle smile on his face, without any hint of impatience.

"I have seen Your Highness."

"Get up, the Crown Princess and the side concubine Su, please sit down."

Pei Yuru and Su Peiyu were mentioned in the words, but Gu Qiuying was left out.Even if Gu Qiuying had no brains, she also realized that Li Jue was dissatisfied with her at this time.

Without waiting for Li Jue to ask questions, Gu Qiuying knelt down first, and a villain came and complained first: "Your Highness! This culprit below Yingqiu is not polite when he sees the concubine!"

"So you beat people like this?"

There was no anger in Li Jue's words, but just like that, Gu Qiuying was even more afraid.She has seen Li Jue's methods before, although he is gentle and gentle all day long, he is more ruthless than anyone else when he is angry.

Unknowingly, Gu Qiuying's legs began to tremble: "Your Highness...Your Highness, the concubine's identity is not...intentional, please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Seeing her like this, Pei Yuru unconsciously smiled triumphantly.

In such a situation, if you don't add fuel to the flames, I'm sorry for her painstaking efforts. "Sister Gu, Your Highness has treated us so well, how can you treat someone your Highness loves like this?"

Gu Qiuying raised her head suddenly, her eyes were full of anger: "Crown Princess, what do you mean? If it wasn't for you, would I have troubled her?"

"How can Sister Gu wrong me? I just praised Miss Yingque a few words. It's clear that you have a grudge and can't help looking for her. What are you doing?"

Pei Yuru said while wiping tears.But those tears were like beads with a broken thread, which couldn't be wiped away.

"you……"

"Okay, what are you arguing about? Concubine Gu, you have to explain this matter to me clearly!"

As soon as Li Jue interrupted, Gu Qiuying's fierceness disappeared, and only a pair of dodging eyes kept looking around the room. "Your Highness, this matter is really not my fault! It was the Crown Princess who provoked me, that's why I..."

There is no need to say the rest, Li Jue can understand the meaning.

Turning the jade wrench on his finger, Li Jue did not question Pei Yuru as Gu Qiuying thought, but looked at her with even more disgust: "Gu side concubine, the crown princess has just explained the reason. It's you who can't hold back your temper." , went to Xiyuan privately.”

Hearing Li Jue's words, Gu Qiuying immediately despaired. Li Jue had already convicted her, regardless of whether it was right or wrong!According to Li Jue's temperament, she has no chance.

But even so, she still refused to give up her last hope.

Even though Li Jue never liked her, he has always reserved the position of side concubine for her. In the past, no matter how willful she was, Li Jue never abandoned her.

She believed that Li Jue still had feelings for her!

At that moment, he no longer worried about embarrassing himself in front of everyone, he stepped forward and hugged Li Jue's leg: "Your Highness! I have been wronged! You must find out the truth and return my innocence!"

Li Jue let her hold her, which gave Gu Qiuying a glimmer of hope.However, what he said broke Gu Qiuying's little hope.

"Concubine Gu should pay attention, oh! Concubine Gu doesn't have to worry about her image because of her status. From now on, you can live in Xiyuan. Yingque lives in your yard, which is also convenient. "

Now not only Gu Qiuying, but even Pei Yuru couldn't sit still.Originally thought that Ying Que was being carried to the middle hall, but Li Jue ignored her and didn't ask the imperial doctor to come and see her. Presumably he didn't care much about her.

Punishment Gu Qiuying was only because her majesty was threatened, but now it seems that Li Jue may really have feelings for Yingque.

Thinking of this, Pei Yuru couldn't help flashing a hint of sternness in her eyes, but it happened to be caught in Li Jue's eyes.

If Li Jue's words had an impact on everyone, then Su Peiyu's performance was even more unexpected.Such a strong opponent appeared, but she didn't react at all, like a melted stone sculpture, sitting there unnoticed.

Gu Qiuying let go of Li Jue's leg dejectedly. No matter how stupid she was, she guessed that Li Jue had to deal with her today, and she didn't make any struggle anymore. She only secretly hoped that when Li Jue calmed down, she would be released.

The place in Xiyuan is located in a corner of the East Palace, far away from other places.

When Li Jue let Yingque live there, he explained that it was because Yingque liked peace and quiet, but she, Gu Qiuying, who was such a noisy person, was arranged to live there, which was a form of house arrest in disguise.

Sure enough, Li Jue's next words confirmed Gu Qiuying's conjecture.

"Xiyuan is remote, so arrange ten guards there to protect Concubine Gu's safety. The food inside will be delivered by a special person to prevent Concubine Gu from being inappropriate due to food. If Concubine Gu is fine, don't come out casually." gone."

Before Gu Qiuying could speak again, Li Jue turned to Zhong Li and said, "Take Gu Side Concubine there, and come back after you settle down."

"Yes."

Zhong Li walked up to Gu Qiuying, motioned to the two maidservants to help her up, and took Gu Qiuying, who was already sluggish, away.

After they left, Pei Yuru looked a little embarrassed, watching Li Jue hesitate to speak.

"Say what the princess has to say."

Although Li Jue had spoken, Pei Yuru still hesitated.Li Jue didn't urge her, but called Su Peiyu to take care of Yingque.When only the two of them were left in the hall, Pei Yuru finally spoke.

"Your Highness, although Sister Gu has punished Miss Ying Que, there is nothing wrong with her. Tell her to go to Xiyuan, will she..."

After hearing what Pei Yuru said, Li Jue smiled faintly: "The Crown Princess doesn't know something, Gu Shangshu submitted a copy to me the day before yesterday."

Although Pei Yuru is just a boudoir woman, but she was born in the Zhongyihou's mansion, how could she not even know the twists and turns of this idea?He immediately understood what Li Jue had done today.

He couldn't help but feel secretly happy. Since Li Jue dealt with Gu Qiuying because of this incident, and he didn't have the same enthusiasm for Ying Que as rumored, does that mean Li Jue doesn't like her?

Of course, no matter how much she guessed, she didn't know what Li Jue was thinking.

Some things still need to be tested. "Your Highness, that girl Yingque..."

"Yingque should live in Chiyan Pavilion! Didn't the Crown Princess also say that she is the most beautiful in red? It also matches the name of Chiyan Pavilion."

Hearing this, Pei Yuru felt very bad, secretly thinking that Li Jue knew the ins and outs of this matter, and he was warning her!Thinking of this, Pei Yuru's expression became a little embarrassed.

"Yes, Your Highness is right."

Li Jue didn't pay attention to Pei Yuru's reaction, as if he suddenly thought of something, he raised his eyebrows and said, "By the way, Yingque's body is weak, and now he has suffered such an unreasonable disaster. I am usually busy with business, and I don't have much You can spend time with her. As a princess, help me take good care of her."

Pei Yuru's eyes widened suddenly, she couldn't believe that Li Jue begged her for the sake of surplus!

Yes, in her eyes, what Li Jue meant was to ask her to take care of the surplus, and for a while, the thing she wanted to test came out.But this answer was obviously not what she wanted.

Pei Yuru smiled unnaturally: "This is... Naturally, Miss Yingque is His Highness's guest, and it is right for a concubine to take care of her."

I thought the matter was over like this, but who knew that a bigger blow was yet to come.

Li Jue was not only unhappy when he heard Pei Yuru's words, but also frowned slightly: "Prince Princess can call Sister Yingque in the future, and she doesn't have to be treated so politely, it's my family after all."

These words were like a bolt from the blue, blowing Pei Yuru into confusion.

She had never seen Li Jue treat anyone so special before, and there was rare pampering in his eyes.

These are all things she has dreamed of for a long time.But now, Li Jue has given it to others.

Despite the jealousy in her heart, Pei Yuru didn't dare to show it in front of Li Jue, so she could only smile generously and agree to Li Jue's request.

And she has already set up a super vigilance against Yingque, a powerful enemy.
