On the Day the Scumbag Got Married, I Lay Flat and Became His Sister-in-law Chapter 223

Chapter 223 She already knew his identity

"My daughter sent someone to investigate, and if there is any news, I will pass it to the queen mother." Princess Duanqing also had the same doubts.

"It's more covert." The Queen Mother confessed in a low voice.

After that, she comforted Yongjia a few words, and then wanted to leave the Hou Mansion.

Princess Yongjia chased after the queen mother and said, "Did grandma just watch Yongjia being bullied like this?"

Her mother is the honorable eldest princess, the empress dowager is her maternal grandmother, and she herself is the first-rank princess. With such a noble status, she is so bullied by Gu Xiyan that she has no strength to fight back. How can she be reconciled?

The Queen Mother slowed down, looked back at Princess Yongjia, and said sternly: "Yongjia, it is the emperor who punished you today, Zhou Mu is the emperor's favorite minister, and the person the emperor loves, you will have to bear it no matter how unwilling you are. Remember one thing, at any time, the emperor is supreme, and no one can surpass the emperor's rights."

It was understandable that Yongjia was favored by them at first, but when it came to the emperor, the emperor turned to Zhou Mu, so Yongjia was wrong.

Princess Yongjia fell silent.

According to my grandmother, if His Majesty thinks she is wrong, then she is wrong, but His Majesty is her uncle. Even if it's not close, why does His Majesty want to treat an outsider like Gu Xiyan?

The royal driver went to Zhou's house.

Emperor Chengde didn't need to explain things to anyone, but this time he still talked too much and explained to Zhou Mu: "I didn't punish Yongjia severely, because I didn't want you to make too many enemies. The Wang family has a lot of power. You just entered the officialdom. If there are too many enemies, I'm afraid someone will give you a trick."

"I know." Zhou Mu subconsciously looked at Gu Xiyan.

At worst, he asked Zhiyuan to go to Xuanchanghou's mansion again tonight, to add some spices to Princess Yongjia, and let her taste the feeling of not being able to live and not being able to die.

Emperor Cheng De remembered that Gu Xiyan still didn't know Zhou Mu's true identity. He said, would these girl Gu feel confused?

Gu Xiyan felt that it was inappropriate for her to be present on such an occasion, so she said, "Your Majesty, if you want to go back to Wanqinghou Mansion, can you?"

Emperor Cheng De subconsciously looked at Zhou Mu, Zhou Mu was afraid that Gu Xiyan would be cautious, so he answered, "I'll take you back."

Gu Xiyan shook her head quickly when she heard this: "No, His Majesty is here, and the Young Master is with His Majesty. I live next door, so I don't need the Young Master to see you off."

Zhou Mu insisted on her own opinion, and directly held her limp hand: "Then I'll take you to the gate of the Hou Mansion."

Gu Xiyan looked at Emperor Chengde, but saw that Emperor Chengde was watching her and Zhou Mu flirting with a smile, and she blushed for a while.

In the end, she couldn't win Zhou Mu over, and he sent her back to Hou's Mansion.

When Zhou Mu turned back, he saw his own father waiting for him with a half-smile.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhou Mu didn't know why.

Emperor Chengde coughed twice, and restrained his smile: "When are you going to reveal your identity to Xiyan? And about the food festival, have you ever thought that Xiyan might really be the gourmet food of Jixianglou?" behind the festival?"

"If she can earn 300,000 taels in just two days, that's her ability." Zhou Mu led the way and entered the tea room first.

Emperor Chengde took a stroll in the courtyard and followed up with the tea room: "My father has heard about Xiyan's experience in the Hou's Mansion. Have you ever thought that she might be a **** sent by Wan Qinghou to deliberately approach you?"

He had discovered it in Xuanchanghou's mansion before, and Gu Xiyan didn't seem to be surprised that he was protecting Zhou Mu at all.

Just now Gu Xiyan took the initiative to avoid him, could it be because Gu Xiyan knew Zimo's identity early on and was deliberately getting close to Zimo?

Since ancient times, beauty tricks have been tried and tested repeatedly, and even Zimo, who grew up in Fallen Immortal Temple, was not exempt.

Hearing this, Zhou Mu couldn't help laughing: "Father and Zhiyuan said the same thing. Just imagine what happened to Xiyan in Wanqinghou Mansion these years, father knows that this statement is not true."

After a moment of silence, he said again: "Even if she was really sent to approach me on purpose, it doesn't matter to me. I can only like her in my life, and there will be no other people."

Emperor Chengde uttered two words after a while: "Fool!"

Zhou Mu didn't comment, he was hesitating whether to tell his father about his illness.

If he tells this, the person in front of him will be sad again?

After hesitating for a moment, he still decided to press the matter temporarily.

"I want to cure my illness as soon as possible, did the emperor send someone to find a famous doctor?" Zhou Mu felt that he should ask more practical questions.

"This matter is already being dealt with, and I have never seen you so anxious before." Emperor Cheng De took a deep look at Zhou Mu, feeling that the child shouldn't be so impatient.

"It would be great if I could cure my illness before getting married." Zhou Mu said softly.

Cheng Dedi nodded with satisfaction, he just likes to see the child's active life.

"By the way, you don't intend to tell Xiyan your identity?" Emperor Chengde thought that Zhou Mu had deliberately avoided his question before, and asked.

At this moment, Qi Zhiyuan sent a pot of hot water inside, Zhou Mu took it, stepped forward to make a pot of good tea, and said, "If Xiyan knew my real identity, would she despise me?"

Emperor Cheng De laughed and shook his head: "You child is thinking too much. You are my eldest son, how dare she despise you?"

"Father thinks that the prince's status is very good? She has suffered so much before and grew up in such a complicated environment as the Liu family. She must marry a simple and simple family, not the royal family." Zhou Mu said more and more I feel that my background is not good.

Emperor Chengde said angrily: "Do you dislike my father? You should think about it a little bit more. Did Xiyan ask about your life experience before? I think this is more important."

Zhou Mu was taken aback when he heard the words.

After being reminded by his father, he suddenly discovered that Gu Xiyan had indeed never inquired about his life experience. Before they were not engaged, it was normal for her not to ask, but after they got engaged, she never asked his family.

On the day of proposing marriage, he only brought a few matchmakers to the door, without the company of the elders in the family, and she never asked a question.

It's as if she already knew who he was...

Emperor Cheng De saw Zhou Mu's strange expression, and knew he had guessed right.

"In today's environment like Xuanchanghou's Mansion, Xiyan is also very calm when facing the vicious family of the Queen Mother. I remember that the outside world's evaluation of Xiyan is dull, timid and cowardly. In fact, the Xiyan you know Is that so?" Emperor Chengde asked seriously.

He was afraid that his son would be fascinated by Gu Xiyan, and he was even more afraid that such a good Zimo would be hurt by a woman in the end.

Seeing that Zhou Mu was silent, Emperor Cheng De said again: "If Xi Yan is really planning behind the food festival, then you should re-examine Xi Yan."

Zhou Mu didn't know what to think, and suddenly laughed.

Emperor Cheng De felt inexplicable: "What are you laughing at?"

"I was just thinking, if Xiyan is so good at making money, she can support me when I leave the capital in the future." Zhou Mu's eyes were also tinged with a smile.
