PFC Chapter 350 The Crown Princess’s Worries!
Chapter 350 The Crown Princess’s Worries!
After finishing the work at the Ministry of Industry, and seeing that there was nothing else to do, Gu Jingzhi said goodbye to ** and returned home.
As soon as I returned to my residence, I saw Wanzhen standing at the door waiting for me.
Gu Jingzhi asked curiously, "Why are you outside in such a cold weather instead of staying indoors?"
Wan Zhen pursed her lips and said, "A distinguished guest has arrived!"
"Oh? She's here!"
Gu Jingzhi was slightly curious when he heard it.
The Crown Princess just came yesterday and left this morning. Why did she come again in the evening? She can’t be that addicted, right?
Wanzhen stood aside and watched. Even now, she was still shocked.
I originally thought that my Lord Marquis was infatuated with Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess was proud of her status and did not want to fall out with the Lord Marquis, so she gave herself to the Lord Marquis.
She was thinking about it at the time!
How could His Highness be so kind to his own Marquis, out of all the nobles and dukes in the court? After all, I resemble His Highness so much that asking Him to serve Her Highness is almost like His Highness the Crown Princess tacitly approving His Highness's treatment of her...
However, after several rounds of teaming up to play Landlord, Wan Zhen felt that her cognition had been completely overturned.
Afterwards, she gradually understood everything. Her master had been granted the title of marquis in just one year based on his own merits, and he was also a minister that His Majesty relied on very much in the court of Great Xia.
At the age of 23, he had been in the court for only three years when he was granted a title of nobility and promoted to the third rank of Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue for his meritorious service.
This is one of the best in all dynasties!
Especially in the ranks of civil servants, this is almost impossible to happen. Most young talents like our own marquis have earned their glory by fighting hard on the battlefield.
Therefore, it doesn't seem surprising that Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess wants to win over the Marquis.
only……
Even if you want to win him over, you don't have to do it like this, right?
You have to know that she is the Crown Princess, the future Queen. Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know that she is doing this?
Even she herself shook her head at this question. If His Royal Highness knew, wouldn't it be a big problem? What man could allow his wife to behave like this? Especially when she's the crown prince!
Wanzhen has been living in fear these days. After all, knowing this secret, she can only stay in this marquis' mansion for the rest of her life, otherwise she will be silenced.
As a vase that can only please others, she has a clear position on herself. All she needs to do is serve her master wholeheartedly. As for other things, she dare not fight or compete for them.
Moreover, she was also thinking about how she could get past the mistress when she came back.
Although I know from the servants that the mistress is usually very kind to the servants, I have slept with the mistress's man. God knows if the mistress has other thoughts in her mind!
Gu Jingzhi naturally didn't know that his personal concubine... had so many thoughts in her mind at this moment. He was still wondering what the Crown Princess was here for.
He didn't believe that she did it for a secret meeting with Gu Jingzhi or something like that. He knew this woman well. Although she was very cunning in her games, she was very sensible when it came to serious matters.
The two of them had maintained this relationship for so long, and apart from Wan Zhen, who was not on guard, even Chen Yu didn't know about it.
Of course, Qu Feiyan should have some guesses in her mind. After all, when the Crown Princess came to find Gu Jingzhi, she was the one who led the way or helped to cover for her many times. Although she had never seen it with her own eyes, she was not stupid!
However, Qu Feiyan is an extremely qualified subordinate. She does not ask about her master's affairs at all. She is only responsible for executing orders.
Gu Jingzhi treated her particularly tolerantly. Unlike Jin Lehuang who did not take their lives seriously, Gu Jingzhi would try his best to ensure their safety every time he gave a task.
Therefore, the longer Qu Feiyan followed Gu Jingzhi, the stronger her sense of belonging to Gu Jingzhi's family became.
……
When I pushed open the door and walked in, I saw the Crown Princess leaning on the couch reading a book. Hearing the noise at the door, she stood up with a smile.
"came back?"
As she spoke, she helped Gu Jingzhi take off his heavy cloak like a virtuous wife.
Gu Jingzhi didn't seem to be uncomfortable at all, as if he was used to it. He asked, "When did you come here?"
The Crown Princess smiled and said, "It's been half an hour. I was watching the time and came only when I knew it was almost time to end my shift. I never thought you would be back late again!"
"Yes! I did go to the Ministry of Industry for some important matters!"
Gu Jingzhi smiled and asked, "Is there something important that you came here for?"
"Ok!"
The Crown Princess nodded slightly, then pulled him to sit on the couch, and sat on Gu Jingzhi's legs, saying softly, "He's coming back!"
His tone was full of reluctance and reluctance.
What she was reluctant about was that the prince was coming back, but what she was reluctant about was that she would soon no longer have the freedom she had before!
Gu Jingzhi also knew what she was thinking, and said immediately: "There are still ten days left!"
"uh-huh!"
The Crown Princess leaned her head on Gu Jingzhi's shoulder and said, "The spectacular case of the Empty Seal, in which no less than ten thousand people were killed throughout the entire Great Xia territory, how could it end so suddenly?"
"Has this been planned by you all?"
The Crown Princess raised her head and looked at Gu Jingzhi with a dim gaze.
Gu Jingzhi nodded slightly and said, "Eliminating the aristocratic families is the ultimate goal, but we can't clear them all out at once. Otherwise, Your Majesty wouldn't have to go through so much trouble and wait until now!"
"Song Pu went to see His Majesty. I guess they reached an agreement again!"
"Ok!"
The Crown Princess nodded slightly. "I'm afraid the aristocratic families will have to give up a lot again this time, but I think they've come to their senses after this, especially the Second Prince. The aristocratic families will probably be seriously hurt this time, and he's the one who's suffered the most. What do you think..."
"Will he do anything else?"
The Crown Princess looked at Gu Jingzhi curiously.
Another annual banquet is about to begin. The previous one really left a big shadow on her. This time, the second brother’s power has been greatly damaged. If she doesn’t take any action, she can only watch the prince’s position become more and more stable!
However, Gu Jingzhi shook his head and said, "There was a rebellion at the annual banquet before, so the imperial guards have taken many measures in recent years. I'm afraid that if the second brother wants to do anything at the annual banquet, he won't be able to do it!"
"So after this time, will everything really be safe?"
The Crown Princess looked at Gu Jingzhi. Gu Jingzhi knew she was asking about the position of Crown Prince. He nodded and said, "The case of the empty seal has completely consolidated the Crown Prince's position as Crown Prince, but we can't be careless!"
"Yes! Of course I know this!"
The struggle for imperial power has always been brutal. Not to mention that you haven't sat on that position yet, even if you really sit on it, your enemies will try every possible means to stop you, so there is no such thing as a foolproof way!
Of course, if the prince could kill all his brothers before this, it would be a different story!
Just, is this possible?
The Crown Princess sighed softly and asked, "Did His Majesty arrange anything else for you?"
"Ok?"
Gu Jing was stunned: "You know?"
