After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

Chapter 152 Old Lady Yan Dies

When Yan Qing rushed to the Fourth Prince's Mansion, Gu Huaizhou was sitting leisurely on the rockery fishing...fishing?

Yan Qing walked over and immediately saw the fishhook without bait in the clear blue water.

She turned to look at the man on the rockery.

Gu Huaizhou was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with his fishhook. He stared at the fishing line intently, as if a big fish was about to be caught.

Yan Qing: “…”

She gathered herself together, looked up, and asked, "Jiang Taigong fishes with a straight hook, but you don't use bait. Fourth Prince, are you waiting for the fish to bite on their own?"

"Yes."

The man remained motionless.

Yan Qing had no choice but to wait with him.

Lai Fu tactfully brought a lounge chair and placed it under the shade of the tree: "Princess, please sit down and wait."

Yan Qing sat down as she was told, and like the man on the rockery, she stared at the water without moving. She wanted to see if Gu Huaizhou's hook without bait could really catch any fish!

Time passed little by little.

The surface of the lake was as calm as a mirror, without a single ripple.

Yan Qing was drowsy on the recliner.

"Crack~"

Suddenly, the sound of the water surface breaking woke her up. Yan Qing half opened her eyes and saw a fish rushing up from the bottom of the water, and then... flew into Gu Huaizhou's hands.

Yan Qing was stunned for a moment before realizing that a fish had taken the bait.

She stood up suddenly.

Gu Huaizhou threw the fish into the fish basket in Lai Fu's hand and jumped down from the rockery.

He walked straight up to Yan Qing, squinted his eyes and smiled, "I caught it."

Yan Qing leaned over to look at the fish basket and saw an unknown wild fish jumping in the basket, and it was still alive!

"This fish is so stupid!"

Yan Qing sighed, how could one still take the bait without any bait, wasn't that stupid?

Gu Huaizhou threw away his fishing rod and washed his hands with the help of the palace servants. Then he said, "People are even more stupid than fish."

Yan Qing looked at him doubtfully.

Gu Huaizhou signaled everyone to leave, asked Lai Fu to add another chair under the tree, and signaled Yan Qing to lie down again.

He lay beside Yan Qing and said slowly, "Qingqing, are you here for the arranged marriage?"

Yan Qing rolled her eyes at him and said, "Since you know this, I'm sure Your Highness the Fourth Prince has already thought of a response?"

Gu Huaizhou smiled helplessly, his hands behind his head, looking at the sky as blue as the lake. The man squinted and said, "Sometimes, offense is the best defense."

Yan Qing knew that what he said was right.

Whether Gu Huaizhou is in the dark or in the light, it will not affect Queen Wang's desire to deal with him.

Instead of letting her cut the flesh with a blunt knife, it is better to cut the Gordian knot quickly!

but……

"The granting of marriage will accelerate the Queen's determination to deal with you."

Yan Qing pursed her lips and said.

She was worried that Gu Huaizhou was not capable enough to deal with Queen Wang.

After all, it is easy to hide from an open gun, but difficult to guard against a hidden arrow.

Gu Huaizhou did not answer directly.

He tilted his head to look at Yan Qing and suddenly asked a completely unrelated question: "Qingqing, what do you think of Li Ying?"

"Li Ying?"

Yan Qing thought about it and said truthfully: "Very impressive."

She had never actually seen Li Ying take action, but Li Ying had been following her these past few days, often making her forget the existence of such a person. She knew that this person must be very powerful.

Gu Huaizhou continued, "Liying was left to me by my mother. She was the Saint of the Moon Clan and had a secret guard by her side. That secret guard has been protecting me since my mother passed away...

The leader of the Dark Guards is Wu Mang."

Yan Qing's heart moved slightly, and his hands clenched unconsciously.

This was the first time Gu Huaizhou told her about Yue Fei's origins and her relationship with Wu Mang...

The man reached out and held Yan Qing's hand: "Don't worry, Wu Mang has already arrived in Kyoto. I will ask him to treat Madam Ye when he arrives."

"Ah."

Yan Qing was not pretentious either.

Wasn't it for this day that she approached him?

Although my mother and Yan Junyuan have divorced, there is still no clue about the poison in her body. If there was the miraculous doctor Wu Mang, my mother would not have died so early...

After a pause, Yan Qing asked, "So you asked Wu Mang to bring back those secret guards?"

Gu Huaizhou nodded.

In his previous life, he listened to the old man and, for the sake of safety, he gradually eroded the power of the Wang family, and finally threatened the King of Qi and Queen Wang. However, because of this, he lost Qingqing, the most important person in his life!

It's too late to regret in one's lifetime.

He doesn't plan to follow the same path as his previous life in this life.

The old man was too conservative, which is why he was swallowed up by his in-laws for so many years. He did nothing wrong as a puppet emperor.

"So don't worry."

The man squeezed Yan Qing's hand and said soothingly, "I have my own plan in mind. As long as Qingqing protects herself, no one in this world can defeat me!"

After the last sentence was spoken, Yan Qing felt that Gu Huaizhou's entire aura seemed to have changed.

It was as if he was no longer the Fourth Prince who had no background, no power, and could only endure, but...

"master!"

"Miss!"

Two voices sounded at the same time.

The thought that flashed through Yan Qing's mind was instantly interrupted.

She looked back and saw Lai Fu and Lu Zhi running towards her in a hurry.

Gu Huaizhou stood up and asked, "What's the matter?"

Lai Fu: "Just now, a letter came from the Prime Minister's Mansion saying that Miss Yang Er... committed suicide!"

Yan Qing: “!”

Yang Xuan committed suicide?

"It's the queen."

The man's sarcastic voice sounded behind him: "Yang Xuan didn't complete the task she asked her to do. How could she let that woman live?"

Yan Qing was silent.

In fact, she also thought that it might be the queen.

Given Yang Xuan's personality, she would be unlikely to commit suicide even if she was notorious, but she committed suicide so quickly, which could only be because she was forced to do so.

Yan Qing couldn't help but feel a chill in his teeth.

This is Wang, this is the queen.

Even those who help them will be stabbed back, let alone those who oppose them?

However, Yan Qing felt relieved that Yang Xuan was dead.

Previously, she had been worried that she was unable to change the outcome of her previous life. Now that Yang Xuan was dead, it would be impossible for her to be married to Gu Huaizhou again.

The ending...has been changed!

"Miss……"

Green Branch's voice was anxious.

Yan Qing looked at her: "What's wrong?"

"The master just sent a letter, saying, saying, saying..."

Luzhi subconsciously looked at Gu Huaizhou and whispered, "It is said that the old lady is pouring incense at the Fourth Prince's mansion and is exhausted... to death."

"what?"

Yan Qing didn't hear clearly for a moment.

Luzhi also felt that it was a little unreal, but that was what the visitor said.

So she gritted her teeth and said in one breath: "The master said that the old lady was exhausted and asked you to go back and see her off to the end!"

Yan Qing was confused.

Is Old Mrs. Yan dead from exhaustion?

She looked at Gu Huaizhou, who frowned and looked at Lai Fu. Lai Fu immediately swore to heaven, "Your Highness, please understand. I have followed your instructions completely. The work I arranged for Old Madam Yan is completely beyond her physical endurance at her age. As long as she goes back and rests well, she will be fine. Unless she goes home without rest and does other things, she will never die of exhaustion!"

"Just die."

After Yan Qing came back to his senses, his expression was indifferent.

Old Mrs. Yan didn't know her life experience, but she had never been kind to her and A Xun, so when she heard that the old lady had died, she was not sad at all.
