Chapter 267 She can stop him from talking, but she can't stop him from thinking
Gu Qinghe heard this and smiled indifferently, "This is the matter of the third house, it has nothing to do with me."
Yingchun nodded in agreement, but Wangchun frowned and said anxiously, "Crown Princess, it's not that simple. I heard that the Third Madam has been clamoring to return home every day and even sent something back to the old lady. It was the seal that the old master gave her because he saw how filial she was."
"She also said that if you let her return home, she will keep quiet and preserve your reputation."
"My reputation?" Gu Qinghe raised her eyebrows and asked in confusion. She really didn't know what leverage she had in Wang's hands.
However, the seal in Wang's hand was taken out in the previous life when Gu Ruoxing failed to climb onto the dragon bed and she took it out to beg for mercy.
In this life, it’s much earlier.
"I don't know exactly what it is. Madam Liu was very vague about it. I just wanted to know, so I asked behind Madam's back." Wangchun said.
Gu Qinghe waved his hand and said calmly, "I understand. Don't tell anyone. Grandmother should continue to worship Buddha and pick Buddha beans."
Power is consistent. Once it is interrupted, it will be difficult to pick it up again.
"Call Zhang Jinbao over." Gu Qinghe ordered.
Yingchun agreed, and Zhang Jinbao soon followed in, "Your servant is here to pay his respects to the Crown Princess."
Gu Qinghe raised his hand. "Get up. I want you to run an errand. Go to the Prince Jin's Mansion and ask the Princess Jin about Concubine Gu's situation."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Jinbao first agreed, but kept wondering in his heart, what was the Crown Princess's intention in making this trip on her own at this time?
"Go get something from Zhang Fu." Gu Qinghe ordered, "It won't look good if you come empty-handed."
"Yes." Zhang Jinbao responded, then quickly retreated and hurried to the warehouse.

Besides, when Xiao Jingheng arrived at the front yard, he saw Chen Yuan standing in the hall with an anxious look on his face. Seeing the Crown Prince, he hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Greetings, His Royal Highness."
"No need to be so polite, let's talk in the study." Xiao Jingheng raised his hand and walked straight to the study without stopping. Chen Yuan followed closely behind him.
"Your Highness, I have been having people keep an eye on Prince Jin's Mansion these days. They just returned to the capital, and the people entering and leaving Prince Jin's Mansion are a mixed bunch, making it difficult to distinguish them. But two days ago, we managed to catch them." Chen Yuan became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes full of eagerness to try.
Jamel Xiao also became interested, but still said calmly, "What's going on?"
"A few days ago, when Eunuch Sun Guang's apprentice left the palace, he seemed to be targeted." Chen Yuan lowered his voice and said, "After some investigation, we found that the person behind it was actually the eunuch in charge of Prince Jin."
Xiao Jingheng's sword-like brows furrowed, and the ring on his finger began to move.
He knew that such news meant that Prince Jin had already known that his father was in poor health.
"I understand. Keep watching him closely." Xiao Jingheng said. Even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered, let alone the King of Jin who was once the local emperor of the northwest border.
"Yes." Chen Yuan received the order and left.
Han Desheng stood behind the prince and could feel the dangerous aura emanating from the prince. He also knew that the time for the prince and Prince Jin to have a showdown was not far away.
"Your Highness, Zhang Wen came over to answer just now, but Master Chen is talking to you here, so I asked him to leave a message." Han Desheng said.
"Tell me about it." Xiao Jingheng waved his hand.
"Your Highness, Zhang Wen is talking about the Crown Princess's mother's family." Han Desheng said softly, "The third wife, Wang, was sent to a farm in the suburbs of Beijing. She was holding the seal of the old man of the Gu family and threatening the Gu family to return to the mansion to live, otherwise she would harm the Crown Princess."
Xiao Jingheng then raised his eyes, his eyes full of coldness, and snorted lightly, "Send someone to investigate, how can this Wang family harm the Crown Princess?"
He naturally believed that his father-in-law and his family would be able to handle the matter properly, but he could not just stand by and watch.
I should protect her.
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away." Han Desheng replied.

When Xiao Jingheng returned to the main courtyard, the Crown Princess was in the open space on the west side of the courtyard, holding a silver spear and dancing there with great vigor, attracting Yingchun and Wangchun to clap and cheer continuously.
The atmosphere was quite harmonious. Xiao Jingheng stood quietly more than ten meters away from the Crown Princess. Seeing him so energetic, he felt relaxed.
He thought that together they could overcome any problem.
Calm down and look at the Crown Princess's posture. She is relaxed and neat, and the confidence on her face is also fascinating. Such Gu Qinghe is really fascinating.
Just when the Crown Prince was somewhat dazed by the Crown Princess, with a "clang" sound, the gun in the Crown Princess's hand stabbed into the ground more than one meter away from him.
Gu Qinghe approached and bowed, "Excuse me, Your Highness."
Xiao Jingheng looked at the sweat on the Crown Princess's forehead, laughed twice, then pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the Crown Princess's forehead.
"The Crown Princess's aura is a bit like what's described in teahouse storytelling: 'A flash of cold light arrives first, followed by a sudden burst of energy like a dragon.'"
"Although the sun has set, the temperature is still very high. If you get heatstroke from such intense activities, you will feel very uncomfortable." Xiao Jingheng said, "It's also heartbreaking, isn't it?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Qinghe looked at Xiao Jingheng without saying a word. The blush on her face had not yet faded. She didn't know if it was caused by the activity just now or because of Xiao Jingheng's disgusting words.
Recently, she has heard more sour words from Xiao Jingheng than she has seen in love stories.
It even sounded familiar, and she sometimes suspected that Xiao Jingheng was secretly reading the books she had read.
After all, according to Xiao Jingheng's character, he is a gentleman who restrains himself and upholds propriety.
"Your Highness, what you said is a bit unlike yourself. Where is your gentlemanly demeanor?" Gu Qinghe said with a smile.
Xiao Jingheng shook his head and said, "Qinghe, when I was with you, I was never a gentleman." I was a villain who coveted you all the time.
Those who covet you also have your heart.
He then added, "If the relationship between husband and wife is like that between gentlemen, then there is a problem."
Gu Qinghe didn't continue the conversation, but raised her hand to fan herself, "I've been sweating a lot, I need to take a shower and change clothes quickly, Your Highness, please do as you please."
Jamel Xiao nodded, "Okay."
The Crown Princess hurried back to the inner room, followed by Yingchun and Wangchun, while Han Desheng followed the Crown Prince and walked slowly.
"Your Highness, it seemed to me that the Crown Princess just ran away." Han Desheng said with a smile, something that the Crown Prince would like to hear.
Unexpectedly, the prince said, "Not really." It was more likely that Gu Qinghe was impatient to listen.
However, she could stop herself from speaking, but she couldn't stop herself from thinking.
