[Quick Wear] Daily Cleansing of Trash

Chapter 361 Falling in love with the male protagonist's "golden finger" 5

"Sister, do you think Gu Hongying is reliable?"

After Concubine Feng left, Concubine Chen asked Concubine Liu who was pouring water.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Liu paused, puzzled, "Why do you say that, sister?"

Concubine Chen lowered her eyes and whispered, "Our plan was to establish a friendly relationship between Gu Hongying and the noble lady of the Liu family and find a way to facilitate their marriage. Gu Hongying seemed to be treating us with the utmost respect and openness, but in the end, he acted independently without telling us. Doesn't this mean that he doesn't take us seriously at all?"

Concubine Liu placed the teacup in front of Concubine Chen and smiled comfortingly, "Are you overthinking it? Ying'er is only sixteen years old, so it's natural for him to be a little impatient. Once he suffers a loss, he'll understand!"

Concubine Chen shook her head. "Sister, it's because he's so young, yet he's so scheming, that I'm a little worried. He can scheme against his own brothers without hesitation, let alone us, who have no blood relationship with him."

"This..." Concubine Liu hesitated. "He grew up under our care. We are grateful to him for raising him. He wouldn't be so heartless, would he?"

Concubine Chen sighed, reached out and took Concubine Liu's hand, and spoke earnestly, "Sister and I entered the palace in the same year and were both crowned concubines, so we've always been close. I know your sister has high hopes for Gu Hongying. Even if she can't ascend to the supreme throne, she can still be crowned a king when she reaches adulthood. She should plead with the new emperor to take us out of the palace and raise us in honor."

If a prince of the Dasha Dynasty did not inherit the throne, he would be granted the title of king by the new emperor, and his title would be demoted for three generations.

If they are obedient enough, these princes can ask the new emperor for mercy and take their biological mothers out of the palace to take care of them.

At that time, Gu Hongying's mother died early, and the three concubines who had sons competed with each other for the custody of Gu Hongying so that they could have a follower for their sons.

Emperor Qianqing was not happy with a certain concubine dominating the harem, and Concubine Xian had just suffered a miscarriage and was grieving for her unborn child. She had no intention of taking over Gu Hongying, so Emperor Qianqing was really troubled for a while.

Concubine Liu saw what Emperor Qianqing was thinking, and after discussing with her best friend Concubine Chen, she went to see Emperor Qianqing, hoping to share his worries.

As for Concubine Feng, she was just brought in by Concubine Liu and Concubine Chen in order to have more helpers.

Concubine Feng came from the Imperial Household Department, and with her around, she could help with a lot of things.

When Gu Hongying arrived, Concubine Liu and Concubine Chen were nearly forty years old, but Concubine Feng had just entered the palace and was still young.

Now sixteen years have passed, Concubine Liu and Concubine Chen are already at the age of having one foot in the coffin, while Concubine Feng is only in her thirties.

The palace was lonely, and Concubine Liu had been hoping that Gu Hongying would get married, start a family, and be granted the title of prince. Then she could take the three of them out of the palace, and she would have the opportunity to see her family before she died.

Concubine Chen had the same idea as Concubine Liu at the beginning, but now, she began to doubt whether Gu Hongying was reliable.

"People's hearts are unpredictable. I'm afraid that all our hard work will be in vain in the end." Concubine Chen said worriedly.

Concubine Liu thought for a moment and said, "Sister Feng went to comfort Ying'er, didn't she? When she comes back, we'll ask her what she thinks."

Concubine Chen thought about what had just happened and always felt that something was strange.

She said to Concubine Liu, "Sister, why don't we go over and see him too?"

Concubine Liu nodded and said, "Okay, while it's still early, let's go and come back quickly."

On the other side, after Concubine Feng took the ointment, she did not go to find Gu Hongying immediately, but went to the small kitchen to make a few side dishes.

After thinking about it, she heated another pot of wine, then avoided people and went to find Gu Hongying herself.

Since Gu Hongying came, there were only three concubines and the servants who served them in Ciming Palace.

Before the age of twelve, Gu Hongying lived in the back hall with three concubines. After the age of twelve, she lived alone in the front hall.

Ciming Palace was very large, and when Concubine Feng arrived, Gu Hongying had already sent the servants away.

Just as Concubine Feng put down the things in her hand, Gu Hongying grabbed her hand.

Concubine Feng was startled and looked outside. Seeing that there was no one, she felt relieved.

Gu Hongying stood up, gently hugged Concubine Feng, and rubbed her shoulder with his head.

He whispered in Concubine Feng's ear: "Lian'er, you are the only one who treats me the best..."

Concubine Feng was immediately confused and lost.

However, unlike Concubine Feng who was in a coma, Gu Hongying, who was holding the beautiful girl in his arms, had clear eyes, and even a hint of disgust and endurance.

"Just bear with it a little longer..." Gu Hongying said to herself, "One day..."

They didn't know that two figures came to the door and left quietly.

"vomit……"

Concubine Liu vomited under the tree until bile came out, but the nausea could not be stopped.

When she thought of the scene she had just seen, she couldn't help but bend over and retch.

Concubine Chen's expression wasn't looking good either, but she had at least been wary of Gu Hongying and was mentally prepared. So, with a pale face, she bravely patted Concubine Liu's back, saying, "Sister, we really should be wary of those two!"

Concubine Liu finally managed to stop feeling nauseous and leaned weakly against the tree. "I know she's young and lonely in the palace. If she had just chosen a guard or even a eunuch, I wouldn't have said anything. But...but why did she have to choose Gu Hongying?"

Taking the handkerchief handed over by Concubine Chen, Concubine Liu burst into tears: "Oh my God!"

Although they have no blood relationship with Gu Hongying, they have watched him grow from a toddler to a handsome young man.

Therefore, Concubine Liu really could not accept their relationship.

Concubine Chen frowned. "She has a simple personality. Do you think Gu Hongying may have tricked her?"

The previous emperor valued beauty. Concubine Feng entered the palace at the age of fifteen and was promoted to concubine because of her beauty. Not long after, she was directly promoted to princess. It can be said that she never suffered any hardship at all.

However, the late emperor was consumed by beauty and died within a few years. Concubine Feng was widowed at a young age, and it was normal for Concubine Chen to have feelings for someone.

But it happened to be Gu Hongying.

Taking into account their personalities and ways of dealing with things, Concubine Chen always felt that Concubine Feng was being tricked by Gu Hongying.

Concubine Liu remained silent, her heart full of worries about the future.

Su Ji didn't know what happened in the palace, so naturally she would never have thought that she failed to control her soul power that day and caused Shangguan Feiyun to faint, which made the matter worse. Not only did she successfully cause Gu Hongying to be punished with house arrest, but she also accidentally let Concubine Liu and Concubine Chen discover the affair between Gu Hongying and Concubine Feng.

After all, if Gu Hongying had successfully hooked up with Miss Liu Er, he would definitely be busy getting closer to the woman and cultivating feelings for her. How could he have the leisure to care about Concubine Feng, the "old bacon"!
