Quick Wear: The Wronged One Becomes Rebellious

Chapter 140: Traveling through the Prince's Mansion 19

In her previous life, Wei Lingyu was taken into the palace by Liu Bojiao after Gu Li's wedding. She was just like now, opening a shop and making money, using a lot of money to bribe almost all the servants in the palace. She sidelined Gu Li, the mistress of the house, and made her alone in the palace.

After Gu Li became pregnant, Wei Lingyu used a lot of tonics to make her fetus too big, which caused her to have a difficult delivery. The child was suffocated to death in the birth canal. Gu Li only barely saved her life, but lost the ability to be a mother again.

In this life, Wei Lingyu met Liu Bojiao in advance because of Gu Li's intervention. Gu Li took the opportunity to break up the verbal engagement with Liu Bojiao. Under great pressure, Wei Lingyu would only be more eager to occupy a place in Liu Bojiao's heart.

Soon she proposed the idea of ​​opening a shop. Unexpectedly, she would find Gu Li this time. It's not like when you feel sleepy, someone will give you a pillow.

Now, in this life, Aunt Yu will probably never come back to the Prince's Mansion to show off her power.

Nanny Gui never came back, and the next day, Eunuch Xi came to the Prince's Mansion with the imperial edict. In the mansion, only Gu Li, a master who was not considered a member of the mansion, led all the servants to kneel down and receive the edict.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims-----"

The emperor conferred the title of Princess of Anping on Gu Li and granted her a Princess's residence. Since the founding of this dynasty, no one had ever been granted a Princess's residence, and Gu Li was the first.

Gu Li knew that this was what the emperor meant by compensation for taking her things.

The County Princess's Mansion still needs to be repaired, so Gu Li still needs to stay in the Prince's Mansion for a while.

Gu Li regained consciousness, and Nanny Gui was also summoned back by the emperor to work in the palace.

Liu Bai's sedan chair was carried back two days later, wrapped in a thin blanket. When it passed by Gu Li, she smelled a foul smell of medicinal wine mixed with blood.

On the surface, Liu Baojiao did not receive any punishment, and even few people in the capital knew about the explosion in Xijiao Zhuangzi. However, Liu Baojiao, a prince, had to go through a lot of trouble to clear himself of suspicion and barely get out of the clan house.

Since then, Liu Bojiao seemed to have a sinister nature, punishing servants at every turn. Two days after returning to the mansion, the two most active concubines in the West Garden, Bi Liu and Wan Feng, were beaten half to death and sent out of the mansion for some unknown reason. The remaining concubines became much more obedient and dared not leave the West Garden again.

The garden in the mansion became much quieter for a while.

As for Aunt Yu, there has been no news of her since then.

--

Liu Bojiao had been back for several days, and the court physician went to the West Garden every day. As Liu Bojiao's cousin, Gu Li couldn't pretend not to see it, so she went to visit him with some cakes made in the kitchenette.

Just as she walked into the Moon Gate of the West Garden, she vaguely heard a woman crying softly. Gu Li turned her head slightly to look at a cluster of winter jasmine flowers that had bloomed with small yellow flowers not far away, then turned back indifferently and continued walking forward.

In the past, Xiyuan was the place that all the maids of the Prince's Mansion wanted to enter the most, but what about now? If the master is unhappy, everyone below will be trembling with fear.

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp.

The maid, who had been crying for a while, came out from behind the rockery next to the winter jasmine, looked at the back of her former master walking away, wiped away her tears, limped back to the bathroom to work.

"Xiao Li is here!" Liu Baijiao was lying on the couch, and a woman in a gauze dress was kneeling at his feet, gently caressing his calves.

This woman should be Rui Niang whom Liu Bojiao brought from the Jiaosifang.

Because of her unclean background, she has not even been called a concubine, and Liu Baijiao has not introduced her to Gu Li.

Liu Baojiao raised his leg, and the kneeling woman immediately lowered her head and carefully retreated, but Liu Baojiao still did not get up. He lay there in an ungraceful manner, looking at the food box that Gu Li brought over.

"Cousin, are you hurt?" His face was as pale as a ghost.

Liu Baijiao forced a smile and said, "It's all thanks to that woman surnamed Wei." She almost made him unable to leave the clan residence.

If no useful evidence had been found, he would have been sentenced to life imprisonment if not killed. When Liu Baijiao thought of this, he was extremely angry.

What kind of woman would be bold enough to climb onto his bed by stepping on his fiancée?

But it was no use regretting. He couldn't even take revenge on the Wei family now. He was completely an incompetent and useless prince.

"How is Aunt Yu?" Gu Li secretly rubbed salt into Liu Baijiao's wounds.

Liu Baijiao's forced smile disappeared, his chest heaving violently, thinking of Li Zhong's last words to him, he became even more angry.

"Don't mention that bitch." Liu Baijiao suppressed his anger, "That woman will never appear in public again in her lifetime."

What Li Zhong said was what the emperor wanted to say to him. He had to listen.

Li Zhong said that Wei Lingyu had been recruited by the emperor and imprisoned in a secret place to make contributions to the country, and no one from the Wei family was allowed to touch him.

Liu Bojiao was so angry that he had no place to vent.

The private manufacture of gunpowder was such a big thing, with so many people involved, but he, the one who was least aware of it, was the one who was hurt the most.

Gu Li, who paid the money, was given the title of county lady and stood in front of him. Gui Ma, who bought the farm and servants, returned to the emperor's service. Wei Lingyu, who had caused the disaster, was recruited into the Ministry of Works, and her family was protected by the emperor.

Just him. Only him.

He had done nothing, knew nothing, and had not even left the West Garden, but he was subjected to the greatest suspicion, received the heaviest punishment, and nearly lost half his life.

Gu Li was very happy. After finding out the general situation, she prepared to withdraw.

When the slender figure walked to the door, Liu Baijiao suddenly called her, "Xiao Li, when you were with Wei Lingyu, did you hear her say anything strange?"

Gu Li turned around and asked, "What's that weird?"

"Potassium, calcium, sodium, magnesium, aluminum?"

She heard something. Gu Li opened her mouth and almost spoke, but luckily she held it back. She half-opened her mouth, looking surprised.

"Do you have the Jingyefu?" Liu Bojiao narrowed his eyes and stared at Gu Li, "I'll trade you the Hexiefu."

Gu Li:-----

She almost couldn't control her dancing eyebrows, and her toes grabbed the ground, "Huh?"

Liu Baijiao didn't want to exchange secret codes with her anymore. He closed his eyes and waved, "It's okay. You can go back!"

"Cousin, are you really okay? Do you want me to take the letter to ask Court Judge Zheng to come and take a look at it for you---" Although she didn't say the word "brain", Liu Baijiao understood it.

Zheng Yuanpan was the imperial physician who was specially sent by the emperor to examine Gu Li's brain.

Liu Baijiao did not explain why Gu Li suspected that he had a problem with his brain, but said tiredly: "Cousin, if you meet someone who says such strange words in the future, stay away from them!"

After saying that, he closed his eyes and dozed off.

Gu Li pursed her lips tightly, and only relaxed herself and smiled slowly after she left the West Garden.

If she hadn't known in advance that Liu Bojiao was a genuine native, she would have almost picked up his joke, after all, she had once been crazy about Jingyefu.

Hahahaha, he even wanted to exchange Harmony Blessing with her. Does he have this thing?
