After being married off, she was favored by the powerful official

Chapter 178 Entering the Palace to Request Someone

Su looked at Gu Jin with a look that contained a hint of inquiry and a hint of pity.

Gu Jin gritted his teeth and pretended not to see it.

After the last incident with the tonic soup, the two of them didn't dare touch the wine, water and medicine sent by Su.

Today, Lianzhi suddenly sent her some wine, so she was cautious. After Lianzhi left, she checked it and found that the wine really had an aphrodisiac effect.

This wine is harmless to the human body. Many couples in the capital drink this kind of wine for the pleasure of their boudoir. The key point is that they are not real couple.

After finally waiting until the dinner was over, the two returned to Jinxiu Courtyard under Su's eager gaze.

Seeing that Xie Ran had no intention of leaving after taking a bath, Gu Jin couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to the study today?"

Xie Ran was wearing a white middle-length robe, and was as handsome as a god under the moon.

He looked at Gu Jin with a slightly resentful look, and sighed, "I have just returned today after marching for several months. Madam, don't you want me to sleep peacefully on the bed tonight?"

Gu Jin thought that the small couch in the study was indeed a bit narrow. It was really unreasonable that he not only stole someone else's bed but also tried to chase the person away.

Thinking of this, Gu Jin said, "Then you have a good rest. I will sleep outside today."

Xie Ran's body had almost recovered, and she was no longer the half-dead sickly person she was at the beginning. Not to mention that she had been drunk before, she still felt that it was better for them to sleep on separate beds.

Xie Ran felt a little disappointed, but he concealed it very well. He just said, "If word gets out that we slept on separate beds when I just returned home today, my grandmother and mother would inevitably worry."

Seeing that Gu Jin seemed to be persuaded, Xie Ran said, "Besides, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I have a lot of things I want to tell you."

Gu Jin thought about it and felt that they should share information, so he patted the seat next to him and said, "Come, lie down here."

Xie Ran: “…”

Xie Ran was speechless for a moment. He felt even more hurt to see her agree so rashly. He expressed his feelings generously without any embarrassment in front of him.

If she had any feelings for him, she wouldn't have done this.

Xie Ran sighed inwardly and got on the bed. The familiar fragrance filled his air, as if to cure all his fatigue from the past few months.

Xie Ran was told everything that happened in Gu Jin's mansion, especially the matter of Aunt Xu which was shrouded in mystery.

"I will immediately start investigating this matter when I return to the Dali Temple tomorrow."

Xie Ran talked about some military matters again, paused for a moment, and slowly said, "Ajin, I've been thinking about you in the barracks, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Xie Ran suddenly heard a heavy breathing sound coming from beside him. He turned around and saw that Gu Jin had closed his eyes and fallen asleep.

Xie Ran smiled helplessly and tucked the corner of the quilt for Gu Jin.

The rich fragrance and the gentle breathing of the person beside her were so soothing. Xie Ran gently hooked Gu Jin's fingers with her little finger, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and slowly closed her eyes.

The next day, when Gu Jin woke up, Xie Ran went to the morning court as usual.

When Gu Jin got up to wash up, he learned that Amber and Liuli had been called into the palace by Concubine Wan and had not returned yet.

"Not back yet?"

The indentures of both of them were in the hands of Concubine Wan, so when Concubine Wan sent people to look for them, Gu Jin was unable to stop them. However, he did not expect that Concubine Wan had not released them even after a night.

Yesterday, right after Xie Ran rejected Concubine Wan, she summoned people into the palace. It seemed like she was taking her anger out on Concubine Wan.

Forget about Liuli, Amber is hers now.

Gu Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and he told Ruyi, "Prepare the car, we are going to the Pingxi Palace."

Official wives like Gu Jin had to submit a letter if they wanted to enter the palace, so even if Mrs. Huo came forward, she could only send the letter to Concubine Wan. If Concubine Wan wanted to make things difficult for her, she would not accept it.

So Gu Jin simply went to find the Princess of Pingxi. After all, she had the power to enter and leave the palace at any time.

Upon hearing this, Princess Pingxi agreed without hesitation, and was even very happy that Gu Jin thought of her when he encountered difficulties.

"Are you planning to go directly to see Concubine Wan after entering the palace?"

Gu Jin shook her head. If she went to find Concubine Wan, she would be walking into a trap!

She smiled and said, "Yesterday the eunuch in the palace said that Your Majesty missed me very much, so I will go to see Your Majesty first."

The King of Hell is easy to deal with, but the little ghost is difficult to deal with. She doesn't want to waste her time arguing with Concubine Wan. She will just go directly to her immediate superior.

Princess Pingxi smiled knowingly, "That's fine."

"Sister, sister, I'll help you! I'll hang anyone who bullies you on a tree!" Chen Anan only half understood what he said, and echoed with her fists clenched.

The two looked at him and smiled at each other.

"I feel that An An has made a lot of progress recently. He used to be restless every day, but recently he can sit still and listen to me reading, and he can even finish a sentence or two." Even so, Princess Pingxi was very pleased.

"My biggest headache in the past was that he had no sense of propriety. He was in his twenties and when he got happy, he would hug the maids and servants and spin around.

It's okay if he's a servant of his own, but if he goes out and offends a young lady, her father and brothers will definitely look for him and kill him.

Recently, he has understood the difference between men and women and refuses to let me accompany him to sleep. I feel much more comfortable now. "

Chen Anan listened and said seriously: "Anan can only sleep with his wife from now on, not with others!"

Both of them were amused by Chen Anan's words. There was a happy atmosphere in the carriage. Princess Pingxi looked at Gu Jin with loving eyes, and unconsciously recalled the days when she had long conversations with her good friends.

After entering the palace, the eunuch respectfully led the Princess of Pingxi and several others to the Zhangqian Palace of Emperor Hui'an, "His Majesty is discussing matters with the adults in the front hall. Please trouble the Princess and the Marquis to have some refreshments here first. I will go and inform them now."

About an incense stick of time had passed, and Gu Jin did not wait for Emperor Hui'an, but waited for Crown Prince Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen happened to come to see Emperor Hui'an for something. Seeing that the room was full of women, he smiled and said to Chen An'an, "An'an, can I take you to the Imperial Garden to play?"

"Okay, okay! Prince brother, you are so nice!" Chen Anan liked Qin Zhen very much and hurriedly stood up and grabbed Qin Zhen's sleeve.

"An An, don't be rude!" Princess Pingxi scolded hurriedly.

Qin Zhen smiled modestly, looking at Chen Anan with gentle eyes, "It's okay.

Father will probably have some time to discuss matters, and An An may not be able to stay here. I will take him out to play and then send him back, so Princess, don’t worry.”

Looking at the backs of the two, Princess Pingxi couldn't help but sigh, "The Crown Prince is kind and benevolent, but it's a pity that he is not in good health."

Gu Jin looked at Qin Zhen's thin back, his eyes flickering without saying a word.

Qin Zhen took Chen An'an out of the Zhangqian Palace. Seeing that there was no one around, Qin Zhen waved to Chen An'an and asked, "An'an, have you seen the Fairy Sister before?"

Chen Anan nodded vigorously.

Qin Zhen's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, but he still had a smile on his face, "Then tell me where you saw the fairy sister before?"

Chen Anan was totally defenseless and replied crisply, "In my father and mother's study!"
