243. Chapter 243 Forcing the palace [2]
Sure enough, when she heard what she said, Gu Nianqing's face darkened with anger, and she said angrily: "You... are really a bitch!"
Chu Qingkuang didn't care at all. She walked around Gu Nianqing leisurely and said: "I know you don't want to see me here. In fact, I don't want to stay here either. You also know that I am here.
Your brother arranged it. Since you don’t want to see me so much, would you like to help me get out of here?”
"Do you really want to leave?"
Chu Qingkuang nodded, "You know, I don't have any bad thoughts about your brother at all, but I can't guarantee what your brother thinks of me. Maybe he will force me to be his wife in the future.
When the time comes, not only will you be able to see me every day, but you will also be called sister-in-law, and I’m afraid your life will be difficult in the future.”
Gu Nianqing lowered her head and thought for a while. To be honest, she was really not willing to regard Chu Qingkuang as her sister-in-law at all. Not only that, she didn't even want to see her for a moment.
"How do you want me to help you?"
"I know that your brother will give the new emperor a big gift tonight. This big gift is a beauty he found from outside. I want you to help me replace that beauty with mine."
Gu Nianqing squinted her eyes and looked at her closely. No matter how stupid she was, she could still guess what she meant.
"You want to get close to the emperor?"
Chu Qingkuang didn't want to hide it from her, "That's right!"
Gu Nianqing smiled mockingly and said, "Do you want to be the new emperor's concubine? Or... the queen?"
Chu Qingkuang was noncommittal, and Gu Nianqing's face became even more mocking, "It seems that you are just a woman who is greedy for power. You only agreed to enter the palace because of the queen status promised to you by Nangong, right?"
In fact, it would be better to make Gu Nianqing think that she is that kind of pedantic woman, so that she will feel that she is more worthy of Nangong than her.
"Yes, I am a woman who is greedy for power. I want to be a queen and have power in my hands, so I hope you can help me."
She didn't want Chu Qingkuang to become her sister-in-law, nor did she want Chu Qingkuang to become Nangong Xichao's woman. As long as she could avoid these two things, Chu Qingkuang could do whatever he wanted, whether it was letting her follow Nangong Chi or not. This would break Nangong Xichao's relationship.
The thought also made him see clearly what kind of person Chu Qingkuang was.
"Okay, I promise you!"
With Gu Nianqing's help, she successfully replaced the woman who was to be dedicated to Nangong Chi.
That night, she was put into a big box and entered the palace with Gu Xiping's team.
Gu Xiping had someone carry the box into the hall. At that time, many ministers had already given gifts. Nangong Chi was surprised when he saw the box Gu Xiping was carrying.
"Ai Qing is so polite, why did you prepare such a big gift for me?"
Gu Xiping cupped his hands at him and said, "I think the emperor will like this gift when he sees it." After that, he slowly opened the box.
I saw a woman standing up from the box. This woman was wearing a pink gauze dress with peacock feathers on her head as decoration. She had light makeup on her face and all her hair was pulled back to expose her forehead.
The conspicuous phoenix feather mark on her face made her delicate little face look even more enchanting and beautiful.
The moment this woman appeared, everyone was shocked, not only because of the woman's exquisite appearance, but also because the person in front of them turned out to be Chu Qingkuang.
Gu Xiping was especially surprised. He stared at Chu Qingkuang's face motionlessly, not understanding why she appeared from the box.
After Nangong Chi's initial shock, he couldn't hide the joy on his face. However, he was always calm, and the joy only faded away in a flash.
"Is this the gift Gu Aiqing wants to give me? It is indeed a rare treasure, more precious than the gold and silver mountains you gave me, Gu Aiqing."
Gu Xiping hadn't recovered from the shock. He walked straight to Chu Qingkuang, grabbed her wrist and asked, "Why are you here?"
Chu Qingkuang twisted his hand away and said coldly: "General Gu, this is in the court hall. I hope General Gu respects himself. Why am I here? General Gu, you should be very clear. You didn't want to send me to the emperor."
What?"
Gu Xiping's face turned pale when he was blocked. He looked at the courtiers in the court and the emperor sitting at the head, and then at Chu Qingkuang who looked proud. The corners of his mouth twitched, and his hands on both sides of his body were secretly clenched.
fist.
Where are the people who were watching her dead? Why did she let her come here? What should he do now? Could it be that his people were wrong? He didn't want to send Chu Qingkuang here, but he clearly knew
Nangong Chi likes her so much. In this way, Nangong Chi can accuse him of deceiving the emperor and neglecting his superiors.
"Gu Aiqing, what's wrong?" Nangong Chi's tone already contained a hint of annoyance.
Gu Xiping had no choice but to break his teeth and swallow it. He took a step back and said, "Nothing, this is the treasure I want to give to the emperor first."
"Okay, come here, take Miss Chu down quickly!"
Someone immediately came up to lure Chu Qingkuang down. Before she left, she did not forget to glance at Gu Xiping, with a mocking look in her eyes.
The banquet did not go smoothly because most people were distracted. Nangong Chi kept thinking about Chu Qingkuang, but Gu Xiping was secretly angry. No matter what, he would cut the people guarding Chu Qingkuang into pieces as soon as he returned!
The banquet broke up in a hurry, and Nangong arrived late at the palace where Chu Qingkuang lived.
She had not rested yet, as if she had been waiting for him. She was still sitting by the bed with her charming makeup. When she saw him coming, she stood up and saluted him politely.
He quickly helped her up.
"It's so late and you still haven't rested?"
Chu Qingkuang smiled at him, "Didn't the Emperor come to my place at this late hour?"
Nangong Chi stared at her face closely, and then said after a while: "Qingkuang, I know it was not Gu Xiping's idea for you to come to the palace, but you wanted to come to me yourself, right?"
Chu Qingkuang still had that smile on his face, "Your Majesty is really a smart man, nothing can be hidden from your eyes."
Nangong Chi's eyes were full of smiles, but he tried his best to hold himself back, "In other words, you came to me willingly, or in other words, you have feelings for me..." Do you have feelings for me?
But he couldn't say the second half of the sentence.
With an apology on his face, Chu Qingkuang lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, I came to you just to get better respect. I know that you and Gu Xiping are different."
The flame in Nangong Chi's eyes extinguished after jumping a few times. After a long time, he said with a wry smile on his face: "I finally understand, do you want me to be your blessing?"
