Ying Xixi didn't say anything more and went straight to the point.

Ying Linlang nodded, "Tell me, what do you want to talk about?"

"Third brother, do you know who killed Concubine Shu? Do you hate Concubine Gui? Do you want revenge?"

Hatred instantly rose in Ying Linlang's eyes, "Of course."

"Third brother, do you know how my mother died?"

"Didn't they say he died of illness? Is there another hidden story?"

Ying Linlang vaguely realized something.

“Yes, my mother’s death was actually caused by chronic poisoning, not any disease.

As for who poisoned the person, I'm sure Third Brother has guessed it.

So our enemy is the same. I want revenge, and so does my third brother."

Ying Xixi said slowly.

Ying Linlang tapped the table with his fingertips and suppressed his emotions.

“Our enemy is indeed the same, but if I want revenge, I can do it by myself, without cooperating with you, Third Sister.

Similarly, third sister, you live in the palace and will have other ways to take revenge, and you don’t need to cooperate with third brother.

So the cooperation you mentioned should be another kind of cooperation."

Ying Xixi gave Ying Linlang an appreciative look.

“Third brother is really smart, indeed, the cooperation I mentioned is another matter.

Third brother, it must be unpleasant to fight for power with four other brothers, right?

Especially now that father has not revealed who among you will inherit the throne."

Ying Linlang's pupils moved slightly, "Third sister, it seems that you have asked someone to investigate us, so your purpose, could it be that you want to support Third Brother to get that position?

What are the conditions? What do you want Third Brother to help you with?"

Ying Xixi was very satisfied. Talking to smart people is very easy and she doesn't need to waste any words.

"Third brother is smart. I will help you get that position. After that, you can help my maternal family to redress their injustice and not interfere with my marriage. How do you do that?"

Ying Linlang was a little confused when he heard this.

"Help Master Zhao's family to redress their injustice? Third sister, do you mean... there is something else behind what happened back then?"

"Yes, there is another hidden story. Anyway, this is what happened. What does Third Brother think?"

Ying Xixi didn't go into details for the time being. She still needed to continue collecting evidence about her grandparents' affairs, and it wouldn't be of much use telling Ying Linlang now.

"Pleasant to work with."

Ying Linlang picked up the teacup and gently clinked it with Ying Xixi's teacup.

"Brother San, it's a pleasure to work with you. Next, tell me about your plan."

"it is good."

Ying Linlang was puzzled at first. How could his always innocent and lively third sister suddenly become a different person? She asked people to investigate things and even talked about cooperation with him.

After listening to what Ying Xixi said, he finally understood.

Even if Ying Xixi didn't explain it too clearly, he could more or less guess that the death of the Queen and Master Zhao's family was probably related to his hypocritical father, the Emperor.

Otherwise, why would the third sister, who had been favored by her father since childhood, suddenly want to support him to ascend to the throne?

The two men finished discussing cooperation and left, each with their own thoughts.

After Ying Xixi left the teahouse with the palace maid, they strolled on the street.

I finally get to leave the palace and breathe some free air, so of course I want to spend more time outside.

Ying Xixi was shopping along the way, and when she passed by a pastry shop, she caught sight of a familiar figure.

Looking closely, it turned out to be Gu Xuanyun.

There was a slightly plump woman standing next to him, and it was unclear who she was.

Ying Xixi was a little hesitant about whether to go up and say hello to him.

The feeling that the male protagonist of this dimension, Gu Xuanyun, gave her was different from the male protagonists of other dimensions.

The other male protagonists seemed to like her easily and were very proactive towards her.

But Gu Xuanyun, she didn’t know whether it was because of the lack of contact or because of their different identities, but she couldn’t tell whether Gu Xuanyun had any feelings for her.

Gu Xuanyun didn't take the initiative to say or do anything to her.

Or....the male protagonist Gu Xuanyun needs her to take the initiative to capture him? ?

While Ying Xixi was thinking about it, Gu Xuanyun and the woman had already turned around and walked out of the pastry shop with their servants. They happened to walk towards her and naturally saw what was going on.

"Your Highness!"

The woman next to Gu Xuanyun walked over with a smile and called out Ying Xixi, but did not greet her.

It's not convenient to salute in public.

Ying Xixi smiled, "May I know who the lady is?"

Madam Gu quickly introduced, "Your Highness, I forgot to introduce myself. I am the wife of Prime Minister Gu, and this is my eldest son, Xuan Yun."

Gu Xuanyun came over and bowed to Ying Xixi, "Your Highness, long time no see."

"Not long. It turns out that this is Mr. Gu's mother. This is the first time we meet."

Ying Xixi smiled.

Madam Gu smiled so hard that her face disappeared. "Your Highness, do you have anything else to do later? Why don't we find a teahouse and sit down and chat?"

Ying Xixi could feel that Mrs. Gu was very warm to her. She had always wanted to get in touch with the male protagonist Gu Xuanyun, so she agreed.

So the three of them went to the teahouse's private room and sat down.

Mrs. Gu was quite warm and kept talking. Her words made Ying Xixi feel that she wanted to match her up with Gu Xuanyun.

That's just perfect.

She got straight to the point and asked, "Mr. Gu, the last time we met, I asked you if you were married, and you said no.

Now some time has passed, are you married now?"

Gu Xuanyun's smile was somewhat shy, "Your Highness, I am still unmarried."

"What a coincidence! I am also unmarried. What do you think of me, Master Gu?"

Ying Xixi looked at Gu Xuanyun's shy smile and felt a little annoyed for some reason.

She felt that the male protagonist of the plane should not be like this.

Shy and passive.

If she didn't mention it on her own initiative, I'm afraid Gu Xuanyun would never bring it up at all.

This is not right.

The male protagonist in her memory...

Ying Xixi wanted to recall the male protagonist in the past dimension, but only some vague images appeared in her mind.

She watched the past like a bystander, without any emotion in her heart.

By the way, her memories and emotions of these dimensions were temporarily taken away by the system.

But even she couldn't remember and she had forgotten the feeling.

Her intuition told her that the male protagonist should not be like Gu Xuanyun.

So, did the system really recognize the wrong male protagonist?

Ying Xixi's proactive question stunned both Mrs. Gu and Gu Xuanyun.

Neither the mother nor the son probably expected that Ying Xixi, as a noble princess, would actually ask this question on her own initiative.

Gu Xuanyun's ears turned red, he was excited and nervous, "Your Highness, of course you are very good!

To be honest, I am very pleased with Your Highness!

If Your Highness also has a good impression of me, can you let me try to get along with you?"

Gu Xuanyun finally plucked up the courage to speak his mind.

Mrs. Gu smiled so much that her face was hidden from her eyes, and she tried her best to promote her son.

"Your Highness, my Yoona is a very nice person!

I'm not bragging about my products, what I say is the truth!

The most important thing is that the two of you love each other. Since you two love each other, that's great!"

Ying Xixi felt even more annoyed when she heard Mrs. Gu's loud voice.

She curled her lips, and her attitude was no longer as enthusiastic as before.

“Madam Gu, if you want to talk about marriage, then you have to ask Prime Minister Gu to ask my father how my father decided on my marriage.

Mr. Gu, I'd better wait and see what my father thinks, and then I'll consider whether I should give it a try with you.

After all, I am a princess, not an ordinary girl, so I have more things to consider.

It’s getting late, goodbye.”

After saying this, Ying Xixi stood up and left.

Mrs. Gu and Gu Xuanyun looked at each other.

"Yun'er, how come your Highness the Princess changes her expression so quickly?

If I didn't think she was interested in you, I wouldn't have told her this.

Why did it seem like she was not interested in you again just now? "

Gu Xuanyun was also confused, "My son doesn't know either, but your highness is not wrong, the princess's marriage must be decided by His Majesty.

Perhaps your Majesty will feel that your son is not worthy of the princess."

He pulled the corners of his mouth in self-mockery.

"Nonsense, my son is so handsome and talented, how could he not be worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess!

If I say, Yuner, if you really marry a princess, then you may really be a teacher for the rest of your life, are you really willing?"
