329 Slaves(1/2)
"..." Chu You, three or four feet away, stopped, and his eyes instantly became as deep as ink, dark and lightless.
He quietly looked straight into Gu Yanfei's eyes, and the two of them met.
Chu You stood by a willow tree with his hands behind his back, while Gu Yanfei was still sitting on the bench by the lake, silent.
The girl had a pair of clear eyes that seemed to be able to see through everything, as if any plan and any scheming could not escape the other party's eyes.
Chu You's face did not show any strange colors, and he always looked expressionless, making people unable to see joy and anger.
Under his seemingly indifferent appearance, his mind was changing rapidly: this matter was of great importance and he had never mentioned it to anyone.
As for Fang Mingfeng, although he was stupid, he would not talk casually at this moment.
Gu Yanfei couldn't know...
After staring at Gu Yanfei for a moment, Chu You calmly dusted off a willow leaf on his shoulder, "I don't understand what Miss Gu Er means."
Chu You said he didn't understand, but the others watching could no longer help but think.
The future Princess Kang's real sister?!
The future Princess Kang is Gu Yun'an, the third girl of the Gu family. Wouldn't that meant that the wife named Zhaodi was Gu Yun'an's sister?
True or fake?!
This is really a wonderful drama!
The princes of the royal family exchanged their eyes with great enthusiasm, curious about the origin of the Zeng family's wife.
"So..." Gu Yanfei's lips curled up even higher, "That Li Zhaodi has nothing to do with the prince's future princess?"
She raised her hand and pointed in the direction where Li Zhaodi left, and a meaningful smile appeared on her lips, as if provoking him.
"Prince, are you sure?"
"..." Chu You's eyebrows twitched.
The two looked at each other quietly, as if they were having a silent duel.
As the silence spread, the air had a suffocating solemnity, and no one spoke for a long time, as if time had stopped.
Chu You secretly bit his back teeth, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.
These days, Chu Youdan tried his best to save Gu Yun'an. He even went to the North Town Fushi several times for this, coerced and tempted him. He Lie finally allowed him to visit the prison, and he only saw Gu Yun'an.
At that time, Gu Yunhao had been imprisoned in the imperial prison for five days. He had lost weight a lot. He was now covered in green shadows, and he was very haggard, making Chu You's heart cut like a knife.
His elders have never suffered such sin in this life!
But even so, she comforted herself: "Prince, I'm fine, I have a clear conscience. Prince goes there and don't take risks for me."
Her considerate words were still in her ears, and Chu You's chest was burning.
For Gu Yun'an, Chu You lowered his head to the emperor again and again, and made many concessions, and he even promised to take Gu Yun'an to the fiefdom with him after the wedding and never return to Beijing again.
For him, this decision was quite difficult.
The throne was once the goal he had fought for in the past twenty years. Since he was a child, the late emperor told him that the throne belonged to him. For this reason, the late emperor had been struggling to lay out his plans for twenty years.
If the late emperor could live for another three or five years, if Chu Yi died in Yue State, it might be another situation...
But the late emperor went too suddenly. Now he is the crown prince, so he ascended the throne after the late emperor passed away.
Chu You has never given up in the past year and believes that he can still fight again. But now, for Gu Yunhao, he is determined to give up, but the emperor still did not agree.
Of course, Chu You didn't want to get involved with such a lowly person as Li Zhaodi, but for his son...
He had no other choice.
Chu You clenched his fists tightly and said with great difficulty: "That's Lao'er's sister."
As soon as these words were spoken, the blood on Zeng Ya's face faded away rapidly, turning pale, and her legs were as heavy as ten thousand pounds.
King Kang's answer was tantamount to supporting Gu Yanfei's words, and Zeng Ya couldn't help but tremble slightly.
"Miss Zeng," Gu Yanfei's cold gaze turned from Chu You's face to Zeng Ya, and sighed regretfully, "You are indeed a 'crazy'."
"No, I don't!" Zeng Ya said sternly, his voice becoming sharper.
Her panic expression made her words less convinced.
Another gust of wind blew gently, the long willow branches swaying by the lake, and a few willow leaves were flying in the wind in a mess.
The moods of the others around him were already shocked, and only Chu Yi was calm and composed.
Chu Yi gently shook the folding fan in his hand, smiling with his eyebrows and eyes. His deep eyes as deep as the sea revealed endless tenderness when he looked at Gu Yanfei, and his eyebrows and eyes were full of indelible tenderness.
"What the hell is going on?" someone in the crowd muttered softly.
Just now, when the wife named Zhaodi claimed that Miss Gu Er was her sister Li Erya, they were somewhat skeptical.
But now, after a roundabout way, King Kang actually admitted that Li Zhaodi was the sister of Gu Yun'an, the third girl of the Gu family.
The noble ladies present were very familiar with that girl Gu San. They were the best among the ladies in the capital, including piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and their friendship was extensive. They had a close relationship with the noble ladies such as Changqing Princess and Ya'an County Princess. They were famous in the capital. Last year, the Queen Mother gave her marriage and became the future Princess Kang.
However, no one knows why Gu Yun'an suddenly changed from the eldest daughter to the second daughter.
In a wealthy family, adoptive children and other things are not rare. If the Gu family doesn’t say it, no one will follow the truth. To put it bluntly, this is someone else’s business.
But now, King Kang actually said that Gu Yun's sister was a slave of the Zeng family.
This kind of thing is simply unheard of, it is even more bizarre and shocking than the plots in those plays!
Everyone was in a panic, but no one dared to question Chu You in person. They looked at him together, wanting to see if he would say anything more.
However, Chu You's face was ashen and his thin lips were pursed, and he didn't say a word.
His silence is a kind of affirmation, and it means that his words just now are not a joke, but a fact.
Everyone was stunned and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
A girl with round face licked her dry lips and couldn't help asking: "The servant of the Zeng family just said that her sister was Li Erya, so is the third girl of the Gu family surnamed Gu or Li?"
"Miss Gu San is Li Erya?" a young man said uncertainly.
In other words, Gu Yunhao's surname is not Gu, but Li?
The future Princess Kang becomes a slave's sister. Doesn't it mean that the dignified Prince Kang wants to marry a family and have a son as the official concubine?
This is ridiculous!
Everyone's eyes looked at King Kang became very subtle, and no one paid attention to whether Zeng Ya was crazy.
Gu Yanfei smiled slightly and asked, "Prince Kang's sister is suitable for someone else's family?"
She accentuated the volume on the word "sister" and ended with a faint sigh.
She shook her head in a questionable tone, but she shook her head in disagreement.
Chu You's body suddenly tensed and he slowly looked at Zeng Ya, his face was gloomy, and his eyes were like an eagle staring at his prey.
The atmosphere was colder, and there was a vague sense of murderous aura in the air.
Chu You didn't say anything, but Zeng Ya was so scared that she shivered, and almost used all her strength to avoid losing her composure.
Zeng Ya bowed her knees to Chu Youfu with difficulty, and her voice was hoarse: "Prince, I will send Zhaodi to the palace later."
Gu Yanfei interrupted leisurely, "Then the contract to sell the body..."
"Of course, the contract for sale will be sent to the royal palace with others!" Zeng Ya couldn't wait to interrupt Gu Yanfei's words, her lips were almost blue, and she didn't dare to look directly at Chu You's sinister and sharp gaze.
Her heart was in a state of confusion, panic, fear, surprise, anxiety, resentment, etc., and the middle clothes behind her were wet.
She really didn't understand why King Kang recognized this matter, which was a major harm to King Kang but not a single benefit.
Was King Kang forced by Gu Yanfei?
Or, what method did Gu Yanfei use to control others' minds?
Various speculations emerged in my heart, and Zeng Ya's heart became even more confused, and her hands were shaking like a sieve.
This incident involved King Kang, which was equivalent to revealing King Kang’s shortcomings in public. She could be sure that she would not get it after she returned today.
Zeng Ya's nails were almost bleeding from her palms, and she tried to calmly explain: "Prince, I took her in because Zhao Di was pitiful. I really didn't expect Zhao Di to talk nonsense..."
She tried to clear herself, on the one hand she told herself that she was right, but on the other hand she still couldn't help but tremble. She had never been as scared as she is today.
"No." Gu Yanfei interrupted Zeng Ya's words gently and cleverly, "It's you who are crazy."
After saying that, she turned around and looked at Chu You a few feet away again, and asked with a smile: "Prince, is that right?"
Gu Yanfei smiled slightly with snow cheeks, smiled cleverly, and smiled sweetly.
She considered herself not a generous person, and was very stingy, and always revengeful.
She didn't mind showing this in front of everyone, so the next time when others wanted to provoke her, they would naturally consider whether they could bear their own counterattack.
Chu You felt a mess in his heart. He heard this and became even more angry and his eyes were gloomy.
After trying all his might but failing, he could only lower his head and look for Fang Mingfeng.
Only then did I realize that Fang Mingfeng actually brought the Li family to the capital.
This time, Gu Jian and his son were related to the Yu family’s rebellion case, and the crime involved in rebellion and the whole family. Now Gu Yunhao is Gu Jian’s daughter in name, and it is recorded in the Gu family genealogy, so he can’t escape it.
