Chapter 373 Falling in love with the male protagonist's "golden finger" 17

"What? Miss Liu Er became the fourth princess's tutor?"

Su Jiu touched his chin, a little surprised by the result.

How did these two people get together?

Whether in the novel or in the original plot, the Fourth Princess has a very low presence.

The third princess is the daughter of Concubine Rong. After Gu Hongyao failed in his bid for the throne, the fate of Concubine Rong and the third princess would naturally not be good.

Su Jiu remembered that in the third year of Gu Hongying's reign as emperor, Gu Hongyao was frightened by a horse while going out and was trampled to death.

Does it sound familiar?

Shangguan Feiyun also encountered a crazy horse and was unable to dodge it, so she was heroically rescued by Gu Hongying.

Gu Hongyao's death caused the pregnant Third Princess to have a miscarriage, resulting in premature birth, and ultimately the death of both mother and child.

When Concubine Rong heard the two pieces of news, she lost her mind, ran out of the palace like a madman, and accidentally fell into the pool.

When she was rescued, Concubine Rong was already dead.

There is no such coincidence in the world. Even a fool would know that there must be something fishy going on.

Gu Hongyuan was frightened and has been hiding in his mansion ever since then.

Concubine De also stayed in the small Buddhist temple in the palace to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. She rarely appeared in public unless it was necessary.

However, as one of those who had bullied Gu Hongying before, the retreating Gu Hongyuan still could not escape death. He was stabbed in the throat by a concubine in the mansion and died.

With her son dead, one can imagine what happened to Concubine De.

The only one who is better is probably the eldest prince Gu Hongjing.

After Gu Hongjing came of age, he was sent to the border by Emperor Qianqing and only returned once when Gu Hongying ascended the throne.

Gu Hongying was afraid of his prestige in the army and did not dare to act against him easily, but he was unwilling to put the military power in his hands.

As the male protagonist favored by the author, he not only has women devoted to him, but also subordinates who are loyal to him.

In the end, Gu Hongying used Concubine Hui as a hostage and successfully recalled Gu Hongjing from the border through conspiracy and trickery, and arranged for his confidants to smoothly take over Gu Hongjing's power at the border, and only gave Gu Hongjing a nominal title of prince.

Su Ji said that this was only because Gu Hongying had the aura of the male protagonist. If she were Gu Hongjing, and Gu Hongying dared to kidnap her mother, she would dare to lead the army directly to attack the imperial city.

If she doesn't skin Gu Hongying alive, she'll scream 6686!

Perhaps because he was afraid of gossip, or perhaps to show brotherly love, Gu Hongying was quite nice to the remaining second princess, fourth princess, and fifth princess, and took good care of them on weekdays.

but……

Su Jiu remembered that in the novel, the fourth princess's mansion was the most luxurious, larger than the second and fifth princess's mansions combined.

In the original plot, the difference between the fourth princess and the other two princesses is not so big.

Shangguan Feiyun in the novel is a naive girl whose mind is full of love and she has a vague impression of other things. Su Ji can only slowly sort out the clues.

Su Jiu reminded: "Feiyun, ask your eldest brother, Gu...how is the relationship between the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Princess?"

Although she was puzzled, Shangguan Feiyun still obediently acted as a mouthpiece.

Shangguan Xi pondered: "I'm not very familiar with the Fourth Princess. I heard that she is introverted. But the Fourth Prince..."

Shangguan Xi frowned.

As a favorite of Emperor Qianqing, he had naturally heard about what happened at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Moreover, it involved his own sister. So he secretly used the Shangguan family's connections to investigate the matter and found out that it was Gu Hongying who had set up Gu Hongyao and Gu Hongyuan.

Although it was unclear why Gu Hongying did this, Shangguan Xi still had a bad impression of Gu Hongying.

He didn't know why Shangguan Feiyun suddenly asked about these two people. He was afraid that his beautiful and sensible little sister would be deceived by someone in the corner where they couldn't see. He hurriedly warned: "I have only met the Fourth Prince a few times, but this person... his mind is a little hard to figure out. Little sister, don't let him be fooled!"

Shangguan Feiyun was still not familiar with matters between men and women and did not understand what Shangguan Xi meant.

Su Ji understood it, and felt that Shangguan Xi had a pretty good eye for people.

I don’t know why he allowed Shangguan Feiyun and Gu Hongying to date in the novel.

Shangguan Feiyun scratched his head and explained, "I'm just asking, uh...someone wants to know."

Everyone knows about Su Jiu's existence, and they just need to expose it.

It’s just that the people in the Shangguan family still have doubts, fearing that revealing the truth would be disadvantageous to Shangguan Feiyun, so they are still hiding it between us.

There is no way. The more you care, the more entangled you become.

Hearing Shangguan Feiyun's words, Shangguan Xi immediately realized that it was the "honored guest" in his sister's body who wanted to know.

His expression grew serious, and he answered honestly, "The Fourth Prince's biological mother was only a palace maid. She became pregnant with the prince after only one favor. However, the delivery was difficult, and she passed away after giving birth to the Fourth Prince. After that, several concubines wanted to adopt the Fourth Prince, but His Majesty had his own plans. In the end, the Fourth Prince was raised by Concubine Liu, Concubine Chen, and Concubine Feng."

He paused and whispered, "The Fourth Princess is not very favored, and her presence is not strong on a daily basis. The emperor doesn't care much about this daughter. If it weren't for the fair behavior of the Consort Xian, who is currently in charge of the palace, I'm afraid she wouldn't have lived a happy life."

Su Jiu asked: "How is the relationship between the Fourth Princess and the Fourth Prince on weekdays? Do they socialize a lot?"

Shangguan Xi frowned: "I haven't heard of this..."

The more Su Ji thought about it, the more he felt that there must be an unknown connection between the Fourth Princess and Gu Hongying. Otherwise, in the original novel, with Gu Hongying's cold personality, there was no reason for him to look at the Fourth Princess differently.

It can't be that the fourth princess's kneeling posture is more standard than the other two, so Gu Hongying is so happy, right?

The palace has always emphasized that a son's status depends on his mother and a mother's status depends on her son. If the fourth princess herself is nothing special, then she has to think about her mother.

Su Jiu asked, "The fourth princess's mother is Lipin, right? What's her background like?"

After hearing what his sister had said, Shangguan Xi recalled, "Concubine Li was born into the Wang family of the Imperial Household Department..."

He suddenly thought of something and said uncertainly, "The Concubine Feng who raised the Fourth Prince also came from the Imperial Household Department!"

"Hiss~" Su Jiu touched his chin and felt that he had found his blind spot.

The relationships in the Imperial Household Department are complicated. In the novel, the soft-natured Shangguan Feiyun did not become the queen and suffered a lot of losses from the Imperial Household Department.

As for the original body, he was ruthless and decisive. As soon as he took office, he carried out drastic reforms to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, catching those families off guard, so it did not cause any trouble.

Su Jiu urged Shangguan Feiyun: "Feiyun, ask your brother to investigate the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Princess, as well as Concubine Feng and the Wang family. I don't think they are holding back!"

Now, she is unable to separate from Shangguan Feiyun's body due to the rules of the world. She is also afraid that the plot of the novel will follow the inertia and let Shangguan Feiyun and Gu Hongying be involved again. She can only ask the Shangguan family to investigate thoroughly and then make preparations.

Otherwise, just find Gu Hongying and give him a knife, and all the troubles will be gone. Why bother with so much trouble?

After hearing Shangguan Feiyun's words, Shangguan Xi was puzzled, but still nodded: "Okay, I understand!"
