Chapter 349: The Emperor's brother married the Emperor's wife and forgot about his sister
Gu Wenyu was sad but not discouraged.
Well, if he tries harder, maybe Aying will be moved by him.
Qiu Yingcai ignored him and started thinking about his own things.
Today she discovered that something was wrong with Lu Jiuxiao. According to the original plot, he would die unexpectedly after the birth of Shen Qingyan's child, and the soul of the deceased Gu Chenan accidentally occupied Lu Jiuxiao's body.
Lu Jiuxiao had an accident before, but he didn't die. She thought it was just an ordinary accident and didn't take it seriously.
Until today, she discovered that Lu Jiuxiao was silent throughout the whole process, and stared at Shen Qingyan in a daze from time to time.
At that time, she deliberately said that Lu Jiuxiao was looking after Gu Ruxiao, just to test him.
Should she remind Shen Qingyan to be careful? But what if the plot changes again?
When the poison was removed that day, she tried desperately to reveal the plot, but was attacked backfired and almost fell into a coma.
Now she doesn't dare to do that.
After much thought, Qiu Ying decided to observe further in the future. If there was anything unusual, she would definitely remind Shen Qingyan, even if it would result in backlash.
*
After Qiu Ying left, Shen Qingyan and Gu Ruxiao both looked at Lu Jiuxiao.
Shen Qingyan asked suspiciously: "Aren't you leaving?"
Gu Chenan's heart suddenly skipped a beat. Yan'er took the initiative to ask him, so she must be concerned about him.
He pretended to be calm and said, "Do you want me to leave?"
Shen Qingyan was a little confused. Does it matter to me whether you leave or not? I just think it's not appropriate for a man like you to stay in the princess's mansion. After all, Gu Ruxiao is not married yet.
Before she could say anything, Gu Ruxiao's head popped up.
"Lu Jiuxiao, shouldn't you be asking me this?"
Lu Jiuxiao was caught off guard and was hit on the wound on the back of his head, causing him to groan in pain.
He clenched his fists suddenly, and he could hardly hold back and fight back if the blow continued.
Gu Ruxiao was startled by his reaction, looked at her hands, and then looked at Lu Jiuxiao's head.
"I didn't try too hard, did I?"
Gu Chenan took a deep breath and decided to endure it for the time being. "I'm leaving first. Bye."
I have to go back and treat the wound quickly.
As soon as the person left, Gu Ruxiao nudged Shen Qingyan with his elbow, "Do you think Lu Jiuxiao is a little strange today?"
"I can see that." Shen Qingyan took a sip of tea and thought, "He seems to be very interested in me."
She has always been perceptive, how could she not see Lu Jiuxiao's burning gaze?
In order to help her out, Qiu Ying deliberately said that she was looking after Gu Ruxiao, right?
Before the alliance, Lu Jiuxiao fell and came to find her the first thing he did after waking up. At that time, something was wrong with him.
But Shen Qingyan remained calm because she had never guessed what Lu Jiuxiao's purpose was.
After the two of them discussed it, Gu Ruxiao made a "tsk" sound and came up with an idea.
"Sister-in-law, do you want to tell my brother and ask him to investigate this kid?"
"No need." Shen Qingyan shook her head. She probably thought Gu Beihuai was angry now. "Let's check it ourselves first. If there is a problem, it won't be too late to tell him."
"Alright."
Three days later.
During these three days, Gu Beihuai didn't come once.
Although no one came to disturb her, all kinds of things were sent into the princess's mansion like water as if they were free.
Those who don't know would think that Gu Beihuai loves this imperial sister very much, but in fact...
None of these things were given to Gu Ruxiao, all of them were for Shen Qingyan.
In response, Gu Ruxiao complained angrily to Gu Beihuai.
"Humph, my brother has married my sister-in-law and forgotten my sister."
Su Peichang heard this and said with a smile: "Princess, don't worry. The emperor knows that your birthday is coming soon, so he specially asked me to send you a birthday gift in advance."
When Gu Ruxiao heard this, her almond-shaped eyes lit up.
"Where? What is it?"
Su Peichang immediately had someone present a beautiful red jade brocade box.
Gu Ruxiao took a look and instantly lost interest.
Jade Ruyi, definitely Jade Ruyi.
The emperor brother gives her this every year...
All the colors, styles, and sizes of the jade ruyi are almost available...
Gu Ruxiao looked unhappy for a moment and asked the maid to put it away.
Su Peichang was a little confused, "Princess, why don't you open it and take a look? The emperor said that this year's birthday gift is different."
Ok?
When Gu Ruxiao heard this, she quickly called the maid back.
She excitedly opened the brocade box, with a look of surprise on her face. It really was different!
Inside was a whole box of extremely rare purple jade!
Shen Qingyan happened to see this scene and said with a smile: "Who said your royal brother doesn't love you? This purple jade is very rare, which shows that he still loves you very much."
Su Peichang quickly flattered her, "Yes, Princess, the Emperor also said that it would be great if this purple jade could be made into a jade ruyi, but the Emperor is busy with official duties and has no time to have someone make it, so he directly gave the purple jade to the princess. If the princess wants to make it into a jade ruyi..."
Gu Ruxiao's face turned dark.
Okay, after all this fuss, it turns out that I still want to give her the Jade Ruyi.
Gu Ruxiao felt aggrieved and immediately cried to Shen Qingyan.
"Sister-in-law, my brother always gives me such perfunctory birthday gifts every year. Please talk to him. I want something different next year."
Shen Qingyan couldn't help laughing, "Just say it yourself, why do you need me to tell you?"
Gu Ruxiao stuck out her tongue and said, "I'm afraid that if I tell you, there won't even be Yu Ruyi next year."
The emperor is very strict with her.
Shen Qingyan couldn't help laughing, "Okay, okay, I will definitely tell you about this."
Gu Ruxiao took her arm, smiling beautifully, and took her to choose clothes to wear for the birthday party.
Little did they know that their conversation was overheard by Su Peichang, and in order to curry favor with both sides, he turned around and told Gu Beihuai.
Gu Beihuai didn't react much after hearing this. He just read the memorial without raising his head and only said, "I know."
Su Peichang didn't figure out the deeper meaning of these words, so he could only give up.
Gu Beihuai stopped writing with his red brush and sighed quietly.
Gu Ruxiao may have forgotten that when she was a child she loved a jade ruyi very much. Every time she was abused by the queen, she would hug the jade ruyi and cry until she fell asleep. Later, when she was discovered by the queen, the jade ruyi was smashed to pieces. Gu Ruxiao fell ill after crying so much.
Gu Beihuai secretly picked up the broken pieces of Yu Ruyi and glued them together, but in the end there was one piece missing and he searched for a long time but couldn't find it.
Just like Gu Ruxiao's heart that was hurt in childhood, no matter how much the queen tried to make up for it later, scars were left.
Later, Gu Ruxiao often talked about the jade ruyi. Gu Beihuai wanted to give it to her, but the jade ruyi with a missing piece did not look good.
After he gained real power, he would give Gu Ruxiao jade ruyi on her birthday every year. They were of various kinds, rare and precious. He had given her all of them.
It’s a pity that Gu Ruxiao can no longer remember anything from his childhood, and even doesn’t quite understand his actions.
Forget it, Gu Beihuai thought, perhaps Gu Ruxiao had already turned over this page of scars and just threw it away as a memory that he didn't want to recall.
