Noble Consort Chen's fingertips tightened.
"Then let's wait."
"Wait for the Crown Prince to give birth to a son?"
"Wait until the Second Prince wins over more people?"
"Wait until they gradually uncover everything about my elder brother?"
Gu Moli looked into Noble Consort Chen's eyes.
"Mother, you may be able to wait, but my brother may not."
Noble Consort Chen released her.
"Return to your own palace."
Gu Moli stood still.
Noble Consort Chen looked at her.
" Moli, I am your mother."
"Your subject understands."
So don't use the same methods you use on others on me.
Gu Moli's laughter paused.
She lowered her eyes and raised her hand to touch her swollen face.
"Your subject has come today merely to sound out what Mother Consort has to say."
Noble Consort Chen frowned.
Gu Moli raised her head.
"Your subject is very satisfied with this answer."
Noble Consort Chen's expression changed.
What are you satisfied with?
"My mother did not say that my elder brother was unworthy."
"My mother only said that it's not possible now."
Gu Moli took a small half-step back and bowed again.
That's enough.
As she stepped out of the palace gate, the rain hit her in the face.
She paused, then turned to look at Noble Consort Chen.
"Don't worry, Mother."
"Your subject is only going to see your sisters-in-law tomorrow."
Noble Consort Chen said coldly, "If you dare to harm any of them, I will personally send you back to Ganye Temple."
Gu Moli smiled sweetly.
"Your subject will not move."
She paused for a moment, then pressed her fingertip against the old scar on the web of her hand.
"Your subject will only look to see who exactly turned your brother into this."
Prince Yi's Residence.
Gu Moran held the visiting card, his fingertips lingering on the words "Princess" for a long time.
The paper has a sandalwood scent.
It's the smell that's been lingering in the Buddhist hall of Ganye Temple for a long time.
Uncle Fu stood beside the desk, his expression more tense than usual.
"Your Highness, the princess has returned ahead of schedule."
Gu Moran looked at the visiting card.
The first thing that popped into my mind wasn't "younger sister," but rather the line of evaluation from the original system story.
The biggest hidden move in the entire book.
He turned the visiting card over to the back.
There are no extra words.
The cleaner it is, the more trouble it causes.
[System notification: Key figure Gu Moli is approaching.]
[Current risk assessment: High.]
[Note: This character's intelligence network is complex; please proceed with caution.]
Gu Moran placed the visiting card under the paperweight.
" Uncle Fu, go and inform the Sixth Hospital."
Uncle Fu asked, "Tell me the truth?"
"Tell the truth."
Gu Moran rubbed his temples.
Uncle Fu was about to leave when he stopped.
"Your Highness, the princess back then..."
Gu Moran looked up.
Uncle Fu lowered his voice.
"The princess was very kind to you before she was sent to Ganye Temple."
relative.
This word carries significant weight.
A scene from Gu Moran's childhood flashed through her mind.
The little girl followed behind, clutching the jade pendant, calling out "Brother!"
Her father's teacup flew towards her, and she reached out to block it.
Blood dripped onto the floor tiles, but she asked her brother first if he was in pain.
Gu Moran pushed the image back.
"Notify the Sixth Hospital."
"Just say the princess has come to see her sister-in-law."
Uncle Fu agreed and turned to leave.
Clear Frost Courtyard.
Su Yao was reading a book when she heard that Gu Moli was coming, and she stopped Central Secretariat.
Biyu whispered, "Miss, Her Highness the Princess is always favored, and I've heard she's very kind to everyone."
Su Yao looked at the white plum blossoms outside the window.
A amiable person isn't necessarily easy to get along with.
Biyu was taken aback.
What gifts should we prepare for tomorrow?
Su Yao closed the book.
Prepare a newly copied copy of " Lessons for Women ".
Biyu was taken aback.
"Miss, isn't this a bit too hard to give as a gift?"
Su Yao looked at her.
"If the princess is truly amiable, she will gladly accept it."
Green Vine Courtyard.
Shen Ling'er was grinding Coptis chinensis into powder when she heard the news, and she stopped grinding the powder.
Cui'er asked, "Madam, what are you laughing at?"
Shen Ling'er put the Coptis chinensis powder into a small porcelain bottle.
"I was thinking, the princess visiting her sister-in-law, this is just as lively as the free clinic."
Cui'er asked worriedly, "Will the princess be difficult to deal with?"
Shen Ling'er picked up another bottle.
"It's more interesting when someone is difficult to deal with."
Azure Wolf Courtyard.
After hearing Batuer's message, Murong Xue put the horse brush in her hand down beside the bucket.
" Gu Moran's sister?"
Batuer nodded.
"Princess, I've heard you're very beautiful and have a wonderful way with words."
Murong Xue picked up the knife.
What's the use of being able to talk?
Batuer reminded him, "This is the prince's younger sister."
Murong Xue sheathed her sword.
"So what if she's my own sister?"
Iron Plum Courtyard.
Lin Qingdai was practicing with a staff when she heard Zitang's words, and she tapped the end of her staff on the ground.
" Gu Moli?"
Zitang rubbed her face, which still ached from last night.
"Miss, I heard that princess has a very sweet smile."
Lin Qingdai scoffed.
"Those who smile sweetly are often the most ruthless."
Zitang nodded immediately.
Should we hide tomorrow?
Lin Qingdai looked at her.
Are the people from the Grand Commandant's Residence hiding from the princess?
Zitang immediately straightened her back.
"I won't dodge."
Lin Qingdai tossed the stick to her.
"Speak less tomorrow."
Tranquil Ink Courtyard.
After hearing the news, Xie Wanqing put down the travelogue she was reading.
Prepare a gift.
The maid asked, "What should we prepare?"
Xie Wanqing thought for a moment.
"A set of plain bookmarks, and some sutra paper for use in the temple."
The maidservant was puzzled.
"The princess has already returned to the palace, why bother with sutra paper?"
Xie Wanqing said in a low voice, "She used to live in a temple; giving her gold and jade would be too vulgar."
She raised her hand and touched the dried osmanthus flower in the book.
Prepare another dish of mung bean cakes.
Misty Waters Courtyard.
Liu Ruyan sat by the window and listened without saying a word.
Chunzhi waited for a while.
"Lady?"
Liu Ruyan looked at the set of pine soot ink on the table.
"Will the princess meet someone from this brothel?"
Chunzhi said, "They said they were going to see the six ladies, and they seem to be coming to meet them."
Liu Ruyan raised her hand and touched her eyebrows and eyes.
What does she look like?
Chunzhi hesitated for a moment.
"I've only heard people say that the princess and the lady have somewhat similar features."
Liu Ruyan's hand stopped.
A breeze blew in through the window, carrying the fragrance of osmanthus blossoms from the sachet.
She took off the sachet and put it into the box.
"There will be no incense tomorrow."
The next day at 9:00 AM.
The main gate of Prince Yi's Residence was wide open.
Gu Moran stood outside the front hall, with the six ladies standing on either side.
Su Yao was dressed in white, exuding elegance.
Shen Ling'er held a medicine bottle in her hand.
Murong Xue stood the straightest.
Lin Qingdai stood with her arms crossed.
Xie Wanqing was dignified and well-mannered.
Liu Ruyan arrived last, dressed simply, her eyes less aloof than usual.
The carriage stopped.
Qingwu got off the bus first and opened her umbrella.
Gu Moli got out of the car.
She wore a light apricot-colored palace dress, with only a single jade hairpin in her hair.
The sunlight after the rain fell on her face, making her look so sweet it was impossible to find fault with her.
When she saw Gu Moran, her eyes crinkled into a smile.
"Good brother."
Gu Moran's heart tightened, and a frivolous smile appeared on his face.
" Li'er is back. I've prepared some fine wine and food for you today."
Gu Moli approached and curtsied respectfully.
" Moli greets Your Majesty."
She looked up, her gaze lingering on his face for a moment.
"My brother has lost weight."
No one spoke in the Sixth Hospital.
Gu Moran smiled and reached out to help her.
"Married people are always tired."
Gu Moli pressed her left thumb against the web of her right hand, her smile growing even sweeter.
"That's true, with six sisters-in-law, it's no wonder my brother has a hard time."
Shen Ling'er's eyelids twitched.
Su Yao raised an eyebrow.
Murong Xue's hand holding the knife twitched.
Gu Moran turned around.
"Come, greet your sisters-in-law."
Gu Moli took the first brocade box from Qingwu.
" Sister-in-law Su, I heard you love plum blossoms, so I brought some plum blossom scented tea from the back mountain of Ganye Temple."
Su Yao took it.
"The princess is thoughtful."
Gu Moli smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you are of noble birth; ordinary spices are not worthy of you."
Su Yao looked at her.
"Even though the princess has been in the temple for a long time, she still knows what's happening in the capital; her eyes and ears are remarkably sharp."
Gu Moli blinked.
"Sister-in-law, please don't be offended. It's my brother's business, so I always ask more questions."
The second brocade box was handed to Shen Ling'er.
"Sister-in-law Shen, this is a medicine bowl left behind by an old monk in the temple. I heard you know how to make medicine."
Shen Ling'er took it and touched the rim of the bowl with her fingertips.
"Nice one."
Gu Moli said sweetly, "Sister-in-law, please don't throw it at brother."
Shen Ling'er smiled.
"That depends on whether he listens to you or not."
The third one was given to Murong Xue.
It is a horse rein in the style of the Northern Territory.
Murong Xue took it, her gaze falling on the weaving pattern.
You know this?
Gu Moli said, "I want to know about everyone around my brother."
Murong Xue glanced at Gu Moran.
Gu Moran a tingling sensation in her back.
The fourth one was given to Lin Qingdai.
A whetstone.
Lin Qingdai took it and wiped it with her fingertip.
"The texture is good."
Gu Moli smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, your sword is sharp, that's why you were able to protect my brother."
Lin Qingdai looked at her.
"Does the princess also want to protect him?"
Gu Moli nodded gently.
I've wanted to since I was little.
The fifth copy was given to Xie Wanqing.
A set of sutra paper.
Xie Wanqing was taken aback.
"Thank you, Princess."
Gu Moli smiled when she saw the return gift beside her.
" Sister-in-law Xie is thoughtful; Moli likes that."
Finally, she walked up to Liu Ruyan.
Qingwu handed over a mirror.
Gu Moli did not speak immediately.
She gazed at Liu Ruyan's features for a longer time than anyone else.
