A burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came here.

"His Royal Highness." Another servant in Tsing Yi in his forties hurried over, breaking the delicate atmosphere, and reminded him respectfully, "It's almost time, it's time to sit down."

Chu Yi smiled slightly, still holding Gu Yanfei's hand, and said with a smile, "Let's go."

Gu Yanfei adjusted his mood in a very short period of time, and now he has returned to normal.

She also smiled, and greeted Wei Jiaoniang, Lu Qin and others.

"Please follow the slaves to the Huagai Palace." The servant in blue walked in the front leading the way with a smile.

Not only here, but other people in the palace are also walking towards the Huagai Hall in the center of the palace, like a bird facing a phoenix.

They gradually met other acquaintances, and it was inevitable that they would chat about the emperor's edict, Zeng Ya for a while, Li Zhaodi for a while, Li Yunxie's life experience for a while, and King Kang for a while.

Almost everyone knew that Gu Yunxie changed his name to "Li Yunxie".

For the people of those aristocratic families, this news was like a thunderbolt falling in mid-air, making their ears buzzing.

For hundreds of years, these aristocratic families have been the most important bloodlines.

All along, the aristocratic family is married to the aristocratic family, and it is a last resort for the aristocratic family to marry their daughters to these upstarts in the court.

Now King Kang actually wants to marry a slave girl and have a son.

This is already challenging the bottom line of these families.

Before the banquet started, Chu You was stopped by Xiao Shoufu, Wang Kangyin and others in a pavilion outside Huagai Hall, and these people took turns to persuade Chu You.

"My lord, your marriage with that Li Yunxie must not end!"

"My lord, with Li Yunxie's background, how will he be the mother of the world in the future, and how will he convince the public!"

"My lord, your mother's family is the Yuan family in Yangzhou, which has lasted for three hundred years. There have been many prominent officials and noble blood in the family, but this Li Yunxie, her blood is too humble!"

"The child born of a family child is also a family child. Li Yunxie is a family child. In the future, she and the prince will give birth to Lin'er. This child also has the blood of a servant, as if he can inherit the lineage?!"

"My lord, you can't ignore the overall situation just for Li Yunxie!"

From persuasion to threats, Xiao Shoufu and other family officials spoke hard and softly.

Taizu was born in a reckless manner, and it was not their wish to let their dignified family bow their knees to Taizu.

Should they be made to bow their knees to a family child in the future?

Just thinking about it, the children of these aristocratic families felt chilled, and their tone became tough, almost threatening.

But no matter who came to persuade him, Chu You didn't say a word. He turned around and begged the emperor at the Hundred Flowers Banquet to marry him and Li Yunxie as soon as possible.

In this regard, Xiao Shoufu and others were extremely disappointed. Kang Wang insisted on marrying a son from a family as his concubine, which messed up the status and tarnished the blood of the family.

But before they objected in public, the emperor readily agreed.

So, when he returned to Beijing that day, Chu You didn't go back to the palace, but ran to Beizhen Fusi's prison to pick him up in a hurry.

The Gu family was all locked in the prison. When they saw Chu You, Gu Yunlai was surprised, while Gu Jian and the rest of the Gu family were surprised, as if they had met a savior.

"My lord!"

"My lord, are you here to save us?"

In the cell, Gu Jian, Wang Shi, Gu Xiao and others shouted excitedly one after another, and everyone in the Gu family looked at Chu You with hope.

However, Chu You didn't even give Gu's family a look, and went straight to Gu Yunxie, saying, "Xi'er, I'm here to pick you up."

One sentence poured cold water on Gu Jian and the others, and the flames in their eyes dimmed.

Jin Yiwei immediately unlocked the lock and opened the door of the cell.

"My lord..." Gu Yunxie shouted emotionally, a hazy mist appeared in his eye sockets, very charming.

She looked thinner than when they met last time, her face was haggard, and she was not as radiant as before.

Her black and green hair was tied with only the simplest braid, without any jewelry, and her temple hair was a little messy. The bright red dress was a little wrinkled, but it was still clean.

"Xiao'er." Chu You's fiery eyes greedily lingered on Gu Yunxie's beautiful little face, wishing to engrave her in his heart.

The moment he saw her, his heart, which had no place to rest these days, finally had a home, and his heart suddenly felt at ease.

As long as Xie'er is fine, any price he pays is worth it.

Chu You eagerly grabbed Gu Yunxie's little white hand and held it tightly, "Let's go."

Gu Yunwei also looked at Chu You in a daze.

He too was thin and haggard.

For her matter, he must have suffered.

Gu Yunxie had many questions in his mind to ask Chu You, but he thought this was not the right place, so he finally shut up.

"My lord, you must save us. We are innocent. It was Lei who wronged us." Gu Jian in the next room quickly cheered up from the depression, and told herself in her heart that since King Kang could save Gu Yunxie, go out. , then there must be a way to save them.

"That's right, we were wronged." Gu Xiao clung tightly to the wooden fence of the cell, shouted at Chu You with red eyes, his voice was hoarse as if it had been honed by sand and stones.

"Second girl, please tell the prince carefully, you must save us..." Wang cried out excitedly, tears streaming down like rain.

Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were terrified, and she couldn't help herself. She really couldn't stay in this ghostly place any longer. The past ten days were like an endless nightmare to her.

However, no matter how they yelled, Chu You didn't say a word, as if he had never heard of it.

Gu Yunxiu settled down, and softly confessed to Gu Jian who was in the next cell: "Father, take good care of grandma..."

"Are you going or not?" Jin Yiwei interrupted Gu Yunxie rudely, even in the face of the majestic King Kang, he was still awe-inspiring.

Gu Yunwei frowned slightly, and looked at Chu You subconsciously. The dim light cast a shadow on his face, making his facial features deep and cold.

But his big palm was so hot, holding her hand tightly, his body temperature was frighteningly high, and he only said two words: "Let's go."

He took Gu Yunxie's thin little hand forcefully but gently and walked out.

When the Jin Yiwei carrying the lantern left with Chu You and Gu Yunxuan, the light also went away, and the surroundings became darker and darker, and the darkness swallowed them little by little.

Darkness brings restlessness, fear and anxiety.

Looking at Chu You's back that was drifting away, Gu Jian suddenly felt that the other party would never look back, and her heart beat out of control.

He swallowed his saliva, sweating profusely and looked at the old lady Gu who was in the opposite cell, and said anxiously: "Mother, what if..."

In case, even King Kang can't save the Gu family, what should they do?

Will their whole family be beheaded, or exiled for three thousand miles?

Old Mrs. Gu looked ten years old, and her temples were full of silver threads.

She clutched the Buddhist bead string in her hand vigorously, as if comforting her son and herself, she said in a deep voice, "Er Yatou is a conscientious child, if King Kang can save her, she will let King Kang rescue us."

When Gu Jian, Wang Shi and others heard the words, hope was ignited in their dark and gray eyes.

Repeatedly told myself: Yes, Gu Yunxie will definitely ask Kang Wang to save them, they are her natal family. The majestic Concubine Kang, if her whole family is guilty, what will be her face, and what will be the face of King Kang!

This is already the last straw to support them.

The light went away, and the prison became pitch black again, and there was no sound, only a low sobbing sound seemed to sound out.

Gu Yunxie silently followed Chu You all the way out of the Imperial Prison and Beizhen Fusi, until she got into the carriage of the palace, she still felt a little unreal.

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the sound of the wheels echoed all around. There were only Chu You and Gu Yunxie in the carriage.

Chu You held Gu Yunxie tightly in her arms, letting her head lean against his chest.

The two are like travelers who have been walking alone for a long time and finally meet each other when they are exhausted, warming each other and cuddling each other.

After the carriage turned a corner, the carriage shook slightly.

"My lord, is the emperor willing to let me go?" Gu Yunxie raised his head from his embrace, the rims of his eyes were reddish, there was a trembling sound in his voice, and he subconsciously grabbed his skirt with one hand.

Even if she didn't ask, she knew in her heart that Kang Wang must have paid a huge price for her to be released from the imperial prison.

She was both moved and distressed at the same time for what he had done for her.

Chu You bowed his head slightly, and kissed her tenderly on the top of her hair. The scorching breath blew into her ears, and the iron arm shackled her in his arms even harder. The empty heart felt warm again, and felt Fill up.

"Xiao'er, you don't have to worry about anything, our wedding is only three days away."

"You will be Princess Kang."

"No one will laugh at you."

His last words were very soft, almost whispering, almost swearing.

Gu Yunxiu was at a loss when he heard it, not understanding what Chu You meant.

However, she soon understood.

Chu You didn't send her back to Gu's house in Luwei Hutong, but sent her to the gate of a small house in Tongluo Hutong in the west of the city.

There is neither a plaque nor a lantern hanging in this house, and I don't know which family it is.

The carriage stopped quietly at the gate of the house for nearly a cup of tea time before the door behind the carriage was pushed open from the inside.

Gu Yunxie had a brand-new red cloak on her body. She was helped out of the carriage by Chu You herself. She was described as distraught, and almost sprained her feet when she landed.

Fortunately, Chu You helped her in time.

Gu Yunxie's complexion was three points paler than when he came out of the imperial prison. There seemed to be countless bees buzzing in her mind, which made her unable to think rationally. The only thing in her mind was what Chu You told her just now. The words echoed over and over again.

"Second girl!"

Behind the open door, a middle-aged man in a gray robe rushed towards her joyfully and excitedly, his spirits were high and his steps were vigorous.

Behind the man was followed by a large family, an old woman with gray hair, a young woman in Tsing Yi who was about 20 years old, and an eight or nine-year-old boy with two pussy noses, all shouting "granddaughter", "two "Sister", "Second Sister".

They all looked at her with burning eyes, and their faces showed mixed emotions of flattery, greed, flattery, envy, humbleness, etc., as if they were looking at a shining golden Bodhisattva.

Gu Yunxie was shocked as if struck by lightning.

"My lord!" Father Li took another two steps towards Chu You, saluted Chu You respectfully and attentively, his eyes were surprisingly bright.

This daughter of his is really capable, and he is going to have a prince and son-in-law soon!

Their old Li family is about to ascend to heaven.

The rest of the Li family were so intimidated by Chu You's oppressive aura that they didn't dare to look directly at him and just bowed to salute.

Chu You said "Excuse me" coldly, and didn't bother to say a word to them.

"Second Sister," the boy Li Hao sniffed his nose, grabbed Gu Yunxie's cuff with his greasy and dirty hands, and asked naturally, "Have you brought any delicious snacks or candied fruit?"

"Second girl, Dad finally saw you... You have grown up so much."

"Granddaughter, why did you come to see grandma?"

"..."

Their voices buzzed into their ears, and the exaggerated and flattering smiles on their faces surrounded her.

Father Li's yellow teeth were exposed between his lips, and an indescribable smell emanated from his body; Li Hao's snot almost dripped onto his lips every time he inhaled; Aunt Li's palms were rough and cracked like old tree bark, her nails There was a dark patch in the seam, and there were two thick onychomycosis on the right hand stretched towards her.

"..." Gu Yunxiu couldn't look at them directly at all, as if her throat was choked, she couldn't speak a word, and she took several steps back in fright.

She grew up in the Hou's Mansion since she was a child. Whether it was when Gu Ce was alive or later raised in the Cihe Hall, she was always favored by thousands of pampers, gold and jade. She had never seen such a lowly family.

She bit the tip of her tongue involuntarily, the tip of her tongue hurt, and the pain told her that all this was reality.

These are relatives in her blood.

From then on, she was not Gu Yunxie, but Li Yunxie.

In the past, she felt that her name and surname were not important, she was her, unique, and her name was just an external object...

She never felt that she owed Gu Yanfei anything, it was Su Niang who lost the two babies, it was not her wish.

But just now when Chu You told her in the carriage that she would return to the surname Li and that she would marry from the Li family, she felt like the world was falling apart, as if she was instantly drawn into the abyss of misfortune, and as if there was a huge wave in her body Turbulent rolling.

From today, she is Li Yunxie!

It wasn't until this moment that she realized this deeply.

Her heart was beating uncontrollably, her breathing was suffocating, and even her back was covered with cold sweat.

She opened her mouth slightly, turned her head to look at Chu You, her eyes were full of water, her expression was at a loss, and her stiff limbs were filled with rejection.

She didn't want to stay here, let alone these people being together.

Chu You was very distressed, he gave Li's father and the others a cold look, and reprimanded: "Back off."

The two characters are astonishing as thunder, and they are not angry and prestige. The aggressive aura of the superior is fully revealed in the shouting and drinking.

Father Li was so frightened that he quickly picked up his son, called his mother and eldest daughter, and retreated far away.

As Li Zhaodi was walking, she couldn't help but looked back, and saw that Chu You, who was still cold-faced just now, became infinitely gentle and considerate when facing Li Yunmai, booing and asking for warmth.

Is this Kang Wang? !

He looks more noble than Fang Mingfeng, the prince of England, and he is born to be the kind of noble person that people look up to...

Her own sister is about to marry the emperor's younger brother, but what about her?

The person she married was just a small merchant who opened a shop, who was extremely vulgar and died young. She became a widow in just two years after she married, and her husband's family called her Kefu.

Li Zhaodi felt sore and bitter in her heart, she stared blankly at Li Yunxie, and thought of Gu Yanfei and the First Prince again in her mind, and she just glanced at the First Prince from a distance.

The eldest prince is handsome and picturesque, and King Kang is noble and majestic. Both of them have their own merits, and they are both dragons and phoenixes among men.

Jealousy gnawed at her heart like a poisonous insect.

Chu You raised his hand and gently touched Li Yunxie's temples, his eyes were full of tenderness, and his voice was even more affectionate, "Xiao'er, it's coming soon, you only need to stay here for a few days."

Three days later, they were married.

After the wedding, she will be his princess, and no one can take her away from him again.

"I know, I've wronged you..." Chu You said, looking around the small courtyard. The ground in the courtyard is paved with stone slabs. Hearing rude neighbors yelling...

Chu You frowned deeply, his face was as cold as iron.

Because Li Yunxie was going to marry from the Li family, Chu You originally wanted them to live in the mansion under the name of King Kang's Mansion, but Fang Mingfeng firmly disagreed, saying over and over again: "I have had enough of being imprisoned in the imperial prison these days." , we can't let her be so humble even when she gets married."

"Are you going to let her marry from Kang Wang's mansion to Kang Wang's mansion?! Others will say what, if they say that Li's family is the son of Kang Wang's mansion, how will you let me deal with herself!!"

"No, absolutely not!"

"Since you are the future husband-in-law of Xie Hui, why can't you stand in her position and think more about her!"

Under Fang Mingfeng's unwavering insistence, Chu You compromised and let Fang Mingfeng rearrange the current house for the Li family.

The house was neither big nor small, and it was barely clean and tidy. Fang Mingfeng even arranged for a few servants to take care of it.

This two-entry house is not bad for ordinary people, but in Chu You's eyes, it really can't stand on the table, even the servants of the palace live better than here.

Thinking of his 嫆'er living in such a dilapidated and small house for three days, Chu You felt heartbroken, and felt that he had wronged his concubine too much.

He really wished he could bring Li Yunxie back to the palace now.

Li Yunxie's face remained pale, with mixed feelings in her heart. After the initial embarrassment and shock, she began to calm down, carefully packed up the little emotions in her heart, and her breathing gradually became steady.

She gently let go of Chu You's wrist, and said considerately: "My lord, you can go first, I'm fine."

"Xiaoer..." Chu You hadn't seen Li Yunxie for several days, and his heart was full of lovesickness, and he wanted to spend more time with her.

Li Yunxie smiled wearily, and said: "My lord, I just came out of the imperial prison, and I also want to wash up and rest for a while."

She looked at Chu You without blinking, her smile was as bright as ever.

Only she herself knew the uneasiness in her heart, her heart was fluctuating, and she almost exhausted all her strength to barely look away.

She didn't want Kang Wang to stay here, and she didn't want him to see this despicable family again.

They made her feel like the fig leaf had been ripped off and she couldn't hold her head up.

How could she have such relatives!

Li Yunxie felt as if something hard was stuffed into his chest, and he couldn't breathe. He really wanted to dig a hole to get in.

But she couldn't let Kang Wang see the abnormality, so she could only smile nonchalantly.

Chu You was reluctant to give up, and stroked her delicate cheek with his right hand tenderly, and said softly: "Then I'll go first, you have a good rest, I will come to see you tomorrow morning."

Chu You told Li Yunxie impatiently, and then reluctantly left, and got into the carriage that came.

It wasn't until the carriage disappeared at the entrance of the alley that Li Yunxie turned around and went back to the house. The Li family was still standing under the loquat tree not far away.

Father Li looked at Li Yunxie eagerly, Aunt Li took out an oil paper package from her bosom for her precious grandson, but Li Hao didn't care at all, and pushed Aunt Li rudely away.

Li Zhaodi quickly supported Aunt Li who was staggering, but was scolded by Aunt Li instead.

Li Yunxie couldn't look directly at this family.

Li Yunxie suppressed the nausea in his heart, walked up to them slowly, and asked calmly, "Where is my room?"

Her eyes, her expression seemed to be looking at a stranger.
