The compliment from the old lady of Chongbei Hou did not excite Gu Yan or anything, upon hearing this, she smiled lightly and replied.

"I just like to be quiet"

In fact, it's not that she doesn't like excitement, it's just that she hates the false routine.What's more, she hopes that she can keep a low profile as possible, so how could she be willing to have too many conversations with those people.

"That's it." Chongbei Hou's old lady nodded, glanced at Gu Yan, who was too quiet, and said, "There is a quiet place in the mansion, I will ask the servant to take the princess there for a walk, otherwise I will stay with me all the time." I feel sorry for being around my old lady."

"Then there will be Mrs. Lao." Gu Yan got up to thank, and then left under the leadership of the maid arranged by Mrs. Chongbei Hou.

Seeing Gu Yan leave, Mrs. Chongbei Hou couldn't help but sigh.But she also knew that she could no longer keep Gu Yan with her.

The reason why the Chongbei Marquis Mansion has been standing still is that apart from making great contributions to the Donglin Kingdom, it is because it is aware of current affairs. The current emperor is suspicious. If he knows that she has been keeping Princess Yu, I am afraid that he will doubt the Chongbei Marquis Mansion. You can't harm the Chongbei Marquis Mansion because of your own selfishness.

The maid took Gu Yan for a long way, and stopped after going around many places.

Chongbei Marquis Mansion is the home of military generals, the layout has always been based on simplicity, but here is a different kind of prosperity, with many flowers planted, many of which are rare and precious, and they are blooming brilliantly at this time. Fanmei.

But no matter how good the scenery is, it is not beautiful to the simple Juanbi, and she is angry because of what happened just now.

"When the old madam of Chongbei needed the princess, she would let the princess be by her side, and when she knew it was over, she would let the princess leave. She really used people and threw them away when she was done."

He didn't mean to avoid the maid at all, which made the maid beside him feel a rare embarrassment.

"Please tell the old lady, I like this place very much." So Gu Yan had no choice but to ask the maid to leave first.

"The servant girl will leave first." The maid obediently left.

"Okay, Juanbi, what the old lady of Chongbei Hou did was nothing more than human nature." Gu Yan then looked at Juanbi.

"Then why did she keep the princess in the first place?" Juan Bi was still very angry.

"You can't blame him for this. It's your princess and I want to stay. She just made a smooth sailing." Gu Yan said with a smile. If she hadn't shown that intention, how could the old lady of Chongbei Hou have given up so easily? The person who asked others to stay, "So Juanbi, don't be so angry, I don't suffer from your princess."

the other side

Inside the reception hall of the Chongbei Marquis Mansion

"Grandmother" only heard a tough voice, and after a while, a young man of about twenty walked in. He had a sharp face and was dressed in black clothes. He looked serious and his hair was well combed. Neatly, there seems to be a gust of wind when walking.

This is the owner of Chongbei Hou Mansion, Chongbei Hou Xu Yan.Xu Shi lost his parents when he was young, which made him a little mature, but this still didn't affect his handsomeness.

If Gu Yan was here, she would know why those little girls were hostile to her just now.

Only by sitting next to the old lady Chongbeihou can I see this Chongbeihou more closely!

The moment they saw Xu Yan appear, all the little girls sitting beside the old lady in Chongbei Hou smiled shyly, hoping that Xu Yan could take a look at them.

Xu Yan obviously wouldn't look at them, his eyes were only on the old lady of Chongbei Hou from the beginning to the end.

"The rock is finally here"

Seeing Xu Yan, the smile on the face of the old lady in Chongbei Hou became more amiable, and she said that she was about to get up to pick him up. Seeing this, Xu Yan hurriedly supported his grandmother, and a trace of expression appeared on his expressionless face. not happy

"Grandma! You clearly know that your leg is seriously injured, and you still have to get up"

Gu Yan guessed right at the beginning. The old lady of Chongbeihou did have a serious leg injury. It was caused by the old lady who was still the lady of Chongbeihou who went to beg the late emperor in the snow when the late emperor wanted to abolish the title of the Chongbeihoufu. .

"Hey, this grandma knows, grandma will pay attention next time, aren't you happy to see Yan'er?" said the old lady of Chongbei Hou, seeing Xu Yan's angry face, she began to blame her behavior on him superior

"Besides, if it wasn't because of Yan'er that you went out so early in the morning and only came back now, would grandma be anxious?"

In the matter of sophistry, he has never seen anything better than his grandmother.

"Grandmother, I have something to tell you," Xu Yan said hastily when he thought of what he was busy with when he went out early in the morning.

Seeing his more serious face than usual, the old lady of Chongbei Hou took Xu Yan to the inner room under the pretext of having something to do.

"Did something happen?"

"The third prince is injured," Xu Yan said.

The third prince Chu Yunfeng, the son of Concubine Wan Gui and the emperor's favorite son, has been guarding the border.

He and Xu Yan were comrades-in-arms in the same tent, and the two were close friends who lived and died.This was also the reason why Xu Yan would intervene in this matter.

"What? How could it be?" Hearing this, the old lady of Chongbeihou also became serious, as if she remembered something, she quickly asked, "Then does the emperor know about this?"

Xu Yan shook his head, "The third prince won't let the emperor know about it"

The emperor has always opposed the third prince to go to war. After the third prince joined the army without telling the emperor, the emperor was angry with the third prince for the first time, and said that if he did not come back, he would not recognize his son.

If the emperor knew about this, the third prince might not be able to fight again in the future, how could the third prince be willing to let the emperor know about it.

"So you help the third prince to hide this matter from the emperor?" The old lady of Chongbei Hou immediately understood when she heard her grandson's words.

The third prince, or the emperor knows about this, but now the third prince is injured and unconscious, isn't the only one who can help the third prince hide it from the emperor is his own grandson who has a good relationship with the third prince?

"Yeah." Xu Yan nodded.

"You are confused!" Hearing this, the old madam of Chongbei Hou only felt her head hurt even more, she looked at her grandson with a look of hatred, "Yan'er, do you know what will happen after the emperor finds out about this matter?" ? You are hiding the prince's illness, if the emperor finds out, do you still want the black gauze hat on your head?"

"How could my grandson not know, but the third prince is my friend, how could I have the heart to refuse him when he begged me like that?" Xu Yan smiled wryly, but he and the third prince met on the battlefield, and they lived and died together Brother, if you don't even help him with this little request, what qualifications do you have to call him a friend.

"You are confused!" Mrs. Chongbei Hou also knew her grandson's temper, but she still repeated what she just said.

She said that she shouldn't have anything to do with the royal family!Well now, this incident directly put Chongbei Hou Mansion in a dilemma.

I am afraid that if one is not careful about this matter, the Chongbei Hou Mansion will be gone.

"What did you do?" Mrs. Chongbeihou asked with great difficulty.

"I put the third prince into Siyun Pavilion." Xu Yan returned. Siyun Pavilion was the place where Xu Yan's mother lived before. After Mrs. Hou committed suicide, no one lived there anymore. It has always been the quietest place in the Hou Mansion. A place that few people go to.

Xu Yan thought it would not be easy for people to find out if he put people there.

"Siyun Pavilion?" The old lady of Chongbeihou's face suddenly changed when she heard the words, "It's over!"

"What's the matter, grandma?" Xu Yan hurriedly asked, only to see the expression of remorse on the face of Mrs. Chongbeihou

"I just had someone take Princess Yu there"
