C4 Occurrence of Trouble

Although Gu Hong Yan didn't believe that someone as deep and unfathomable as Rong Tou was not interested in the throne, in the Empress's eyes, Rong Tou and Rong Ji belonged to the same side. If she gave Su Suyun's finger to Rong Tou, it would be equivalent to adding another layer of power to Rong Tou's power.

She was Su Yan's precious daughter, and who was Su Yan? Su Yan was the founding general of the country, and he held military power, so almost half of the soldiers in the capital belonged to Su Yan.

"It's precisely because of this that this matter hasn't been completely settled. Three days later, the Emperor set up a banquet and even told me that my precious daughter has been hiding for so long. It's time for her to come out and walk around." Su Yan looked at Gu Hong Yan, his eyes filled with emotion.

No emotion could be seen on Gu Hongzhuang's face, but her eyes darkened a little.

After the meal, Luo Qingyun and Su Yan were in her room. Luo Qingyun was a little flustered as she asked Su Yan, "Do you really want Rong'er to enter the palace?"

Su Yan didn't hide anything and nodded. "The rumors outside have already reached the emperor's ears. You also know that our emperor loves face. After all, he's his son. Naturally, this matter needs to be resolved."

"Rumors are just rumors after all. Who would bring it up after so long? "Does the emperor really have no other reason for letting Allan into the palace?" Luo Qingyun guessed, "Could it be that the emperor already knows that Allan …"

"Shut up." Su Yan quickly interrupted Luo Qingyun, "Even if it's within your own home, you can't say those words out loud. If others were to hear it, it would be a crime of annihilation for your entire clan."

Luo Qingyun sighed, her face was full of worry, "Previously, I always avoided Rong'er from going out to avoid entering the palace to avoid seeing people that I shouldn't have, but in the end, I still couldn't avoid them … I hope that the Emperor won't have any doubts about the banquet three days from now. "

"Madame, please relax. Re'er's appearance has already changed greatly. No matter how smart the emperor is, it's impossible for him to think of things from so long ago."

"Thank goodness Darling was thoughtful back then. He had already thought of such a day and was prepared for it."

Su Yan held Luo Qingyun in his arms. His eyes were still filled with worry. After all, this was a matter concerning the lives of a family. Worry was unavoidable.

"There's no other way than to do this. It's not like there are no people in this world who share similar appearances. There will always be a reason for us to let this matter go."

"I hope so …"

When Su Muqing went out this morning, she specially came to find Gu Hongzhuang, saying that she wanted to investigate the matter that she had explained to him. Gu Hongzhuang nodded and didn't say anything more.

It was almost time for lunch. When Su Ruirui came to look for Hongzhuang, she was in the middle of planting a new Fusang Flower to water her. The sun was bright and bright today, and the corners of Gu Hongzhuang's mouth raised slightly.

Su Ruyuan opened her mouth, but swallowed her words back.

As if she felt someone coming from the courtyard, Gu Hongyan straightened her body and turned her head to look at Su Ruyuan. She waved at her and Su Ruyuan walked closer to Gu Hongzhuang, sighing with emotion, "Elder sister, you're so beautiful."

When she heard this, the smile on Gu Hongzhuang's lips deepened. When she was alive, she had often heard someone praise her looks, but this was the first time she heard this from a girl of her age in Su Suoruo's body. It felt quite different.

"Iris, are you making fun of me?"

"How could that be? I'm speaking the truth." Su Ruyuan sincerely looked at Gu Hongzhuang, "I was clearly born from the same mother's womb. Everyone says that I'm beautiful, but when compared to elder sister, I'm completely overshadowed. Father and mother really are unfair. They gave the best to elder sister."

Gu Hongzhuang couldn't help but smile. She felt that Su Ruyuan and Su Muqing were really quite similar. They were both so cute, so she naturally knew that Su Ruyuan's words were sincere and not purposely meant to ridicule.

"You didn't come to me just to praise me, right?"

Su Ruyuan smiled, "Of course not. I came to find elder sister because staying in the mansion all day is really boring. Two days ago, it was because elder sister's body wasn't fully recovered yet. Today, you must accompany me for a stroll."

Thinking about it, there wasn't much to do, and Gu Hongzhuang also felt that it was rather boring staying in the mansion all day long. In that case, Su Suo's life in the past should have been rather boring, unlike her in the past where she came and went freely, doing whatever she wanted.

The imperial city stretched for dozens of kilometers. Although they were all under the feet of the Emperor, the closer they got to the palace, the more prosperous they became. Gu Hongzhuang had never really traveled the closest place to the Emperor's feet, and had always been able to run far away and do things she was willing to do.

Usually, Gu Hongzhuang was not interested in these things. However, it was Su Ruyuan who had finished looking over here and there, which clearly showed that she was full of energy.

"Iris, it's time for lunch. Don't you feel hungry after wandering around for so long?" Gu Hong Yan extended her arm to hold Su Ruyuan, who was picking up accessories by her side, and helplessly said.

Su Ruyuan hurriedly put down the things in her hands and smiled mischievously at Gu Hong Yan, "I forgot that elder sister's three meals are always on time. You must be really hungry, right? Let's go, let's go. I know this is the most famous restaurant in the imperial city.

Gu Hong Yan was not annoyed after being pulled away by Su Ruirui. Instead, a trace of a smile appeared in her cold eyes.

There were a total of three floors. The first floor was for ordinary citizens to eat, and the second floor was for some people who were well-known in the imperial city. The third floor was for the most respected people in the imperial city.

Originally, Gu Hongzhuang wanted to stay on the first floor, but since Su Ruyuan wasn't willing, she brought her to the second floor. Gu Hongzhuang also followed her wishes, since it was just a place to eat, it was always the same everywhere.

"Brother Shen, have you heard of the matter that has been going around in the capital recently?"

"You're talking about the matter of that Gu Hongzhuang from the Agarwood Restaurant, right?" Everyone should have heard of this, but it seems like they have deliberately suppressed it and won't allow others to bring it up. "

"Sigh, no matter how beautiful this Gu Hongzhuang is, she's still just a weather-beaten woman. If she's dead, everyone would at most feel a bit of regret." "I'm talking about the Su Clan's daughter …"

"Su Suoruo? "I know. When the Fifth Prince carried her back that day, many people saw it. Her clothes were disheveled, and she was only wearing the Fifth Prince's outer garment …"

"Everyone says that Miss Su was kidnapped, and yet she's returned in such a state. Do you think she's still innocent?"

"I'm afraid only she knows. I heard that the Su Clan's daughter had extremely good looks. I wonder, how does it feel like to pay for it? "

"She definitely won't be that bad. Brother Shen, if you're willing, then go to the Su palace and ask for Miss Su. Even if she's no longer a perfect wife, she's still the daughter of a general."

"Hahahahaha …"

The people gathered on the second floor were most likely some of the silkpants in the imperial city. Originally, their voices weren't soft, and Su Ruyuan and Gu Hongzhuang weren't sitting too far away from them as well, so the voices behind them clearly fell upon their ears. Gu Hongzhuang didn't seem to care in the slightest, but Su Ruirui was extremely angry, and if Gu Hongzhuang hadn't stopped her, she would have already rushed up to them.

Su Ruyuan was extremely angry. She looked at Gu Hongzhuang with a puzzled expression, only to see Gu Hongzhuang lightly shaking his head and smiling at Su Ruyuan. For a while, Su Ruyuan couldn't figure out what Gu Hongzhuang's smile meant.

"Two sirs, this is a good West Lake Longjing."

The waiter who was carrying the teapot towards the two popinjays shouted out with a face full of smiles. Su Ruyuan could not see clearly whether her elder sister had done anything, but the corner of her mouth raised slightly, and the waiter threw the teapot towards the two people at the table. The teapot spilled water onto their bodies, and two cries of pain rang out.

"Damn you, what's going on, you can't even hold a teapot steadily!" The young master surnamed Shen showed a vicious expression, ruthlessly kicking the waiter. The person beside him hurriedly said, "If you hurt young master Shen, you don't need to take the young servant's life!"

Although the waiter's chest was in pain, he still apologized to the two gongzis ingratiatingly, "I'm sorry, I was holding this teapot in my hand. I didn't know why, but my legs gave way and I fell down …"

The young master did not believe the excuses given by the waiter, but when the person beside him pointed to the ground, a small piece of jade appeared. Young Master Shen's face immediately darkened as he looked around with a venomous expression, "Who is it?

Su Ruyuan was startled when she saw that piece of jade. She slowly turned her head to look at Gu Hongzhuang, who bought it for her just now on the stall.

Gu Hong Yan stood up and slowly walked to the side of the jade and picked it up, pretending to be very surprised, "Ah, so it's here, it's so easy for me to find!"

Young Master Shen looked at Gu Hongyan with ill intent. "This piece of jade is yours?"

"My little sister gave me a gift. What, this young master likes it too?" Gu Hong Yan asked with a sincere expression.

"Damn it!" The place where Young Master Shen was burned still hurt. He viciously stared at Gu Hong Yan, but when he saw Su Ruirui who was standing behind Gu Hong Yan, he revealed a strange smile. "Is this my little sister?"

Gu Hongyan turned to look at Su Ruyuan behind her. She was able to tell what this young master was thinking with a single glance, and it was as if he had taken a fancy to Su Ruyuan's beauty. Her hand patted Su Ruyuan's shoulder as she consoled her, then she nodded slightly towards Young Master Shen. "That's my little sister."

"If you let your sister accompany us for a drink, I won't pursue the matter. How about it?"

The coldness at the corner of Gu Hongzhuang's mouth gradually deepened, but she still maintained that smiling expression. Her red lips slightly parted, "As for the wine, my little sister can drink it, but do you know the price of drinking these two cups of wine?"

Although her tone was not heavy, Young Master Shen was stunned by the gaze of the girl before him. He guessed that she might be the daughter of a rich family in the imperial city, but he still insisted, "There is no price that I can't pay."

"Iris, why don't you accompany this young master for a drink?

Although Su Ruyuan didn't know what Gu Hongzhuang wanted to do, she definitely wouldn't tear down her elder sister at this time. She nodded and agreed. Seeing Su Ruyuan nod, that Young Master Shen immediately invited her to sit down with a smile. His gaze continuously roamed around Su Ruyuan's body.

When the waiter saw that things had finally calmed down over here, he quickly slipped away. But he didn't expect that after Su Ruyuan drank the cup of wine, that Young Master Shen would fall backwards with a thump in an instant, unconscious. Another person beside Young Master Shen pointed at Gu Hongzhuang. It's you... "You drugged the tea …"
