Chapter 58: Eternal Death
At Nanfeng Pavilion, Gu Xun finally woke up. What was that smell? Before he could react, he was disgusted by the ugly man in front of him.
"How dare you! Who are you?"
Gu Xun shook his head. He had completely forgotten why he came here. He only vaguely remembered that he seemed to be meeting someone...
"Your Excellency is so forgetful! We have waited on you all night, and you have forgotten us."
The rough man giggled and leaned on Gu Xun's smooth arms, feeling a strange and disgusted feeling.
Gu Xun's face turned pale when he heard this. He looked at himself and saw that he was naked, as were the men around him. How could he not know what was going on?
He suddenly pushed the person in front of him away: "Get out of here!"
"Oh, please calm down, my lord. If he can't serve you well, can you let me do it?"
Gu Xun looked over and turned his head away in disgust: "You are uglier than him."
The man just now at least looked like a human, but the man in front of me looked like an unknown fish.
"Get out of here, all of you!"
The more Gu Xun thought about it, the more he felt that he must have been set up. Otherwise, he could have any kind of beauty he wanted, but had to find these ugly ones!
Gu Xun's eyes twitched. He pulled out the long sword hanging on the bed and was about to chop these filthy creatures to death!
Seeing that they had really angered the other party, the people who served him hurriedly packed up their clothes and ran away.
Gu Xunguang was naked, holding a sword, his eyes were red and he was breathing heavily.
He saw a man leaning against the door, and when he saw him looking over, he whistled: "Royal brother, you have a good physique."
It’s Gu Yan.
"Why are you here?" Gu Xun frowned fiercely and pulled his clothes over and put them on: "You are a girl, and you are staring at a man like this?"
Gu Yan smiled and instead of being shy, she walked closer.
"The whole room is filled with the smell. It seems that my royal brother really had a night of love." She spoke more boldly and pushed open the window.
This made Gu Xun frown again: "What does it have to do with you!"
"Brother, are you really here of your own accord? I thought you were being framed and rushed over eagerly to rescue you."
Just kidding, she came all the way here to see him laugh.
Gu Xun certainly realized that he was being set up, but he had long forgotten that he was in the game to join. He said gloomily:
"Why did you run out here instead of staying in the imperial mausoleum?"
These words successfully surprised Gu Yan. She walked around Gu Xun and said, "Royal brother, are you so happy that you've lost your mind? We've been back in the capital for a long time. How could I still be guarding the imperial mausoleum?"
Gu Yan looked at the bewildered look on Gu Xun's face and said, "Tsk tsk tsk, my royal brother is at a huge disadvantage. He doesn't even remember who the murderer is."
"You know?" Gu Xun asked.
"I don't know." Gu Yan spread her hands. She just rushed over when she heard the news. How could she know everything?
Her eyes moved, and she didn't know which kind-hearted person would cause such trouble.
"If you don't know, shut up."
Gu Xun was furious. His memory was still stuck in the imperial mausoleum, and what he had forgotten was probably the key point.
"It's Gu Qingheng, it must be him!" Apart from him, it can only be him.
Even if it's not him, it must be related to him!
Gu Yan listened to him mumbling to himself and curled her lips: "That shouldn't be the case. The prince has known for a long time that you are not capable of this. He hasn't used this trick for so many years. Why do you have to use such a disgusting trick when you come back? It doesn't match his image."
After hearing this, Gu Xun threw his sword towards her fiercely: "Get out! You too, get out!"
The fact that he couldn't tell others about it had always been a pain in his heart.
Now that he has become oppressed, he is so angry that he wants to eat people!
Gu Yan dodged the sword: "Okay, okay, I'll go, okay? You should take care of yourself. As far as I know, the Empress Dowager will hold a banquet for you in two days, and she plans to have two children in three years..."
Gu Xun looked at her with a murderous look. Gu Yan didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore and ran away.
At this moment, his attendant heard the noise and asked, "Your Majesty?"
"Who asked me to come here? Was this a setup by Gu Qingheng?"
The attendant bowed his head and said, "You came here after receiving a secret letter, but you didn't tell me in detail who you were."
"...But from what I saw last night, you...should be volunteering."
"roll!"
Gu Xun picked up the vase and threw it at them. It was useless! No matter how hungry he was, he would never pick on these ugly people!
…
As the sky brightened, Zhao Mingzhu opened her eyes, turned her head and wanted to pet the cat, but when she touched the quilt, it was cold.
She straightened up, looked around, and remembered that Gu Qingheng seemed to be sleeping behind the screen.
She tiptoed closer, then walked around the screen and looked over. The beauty bed was no longer occupied.
It’s better to leave, it’s better to leave.
"Qiao'er!"
Qiao'er appeared in response: "Crown Princess, you're awake, come and have dinner."
Jinzhu came in with some water. After washing her hands, Zhao Mingzhu ran to the dining table.
She pretended to be very casual and asked, "Has His Highness come to court?"
"Someone came to the palace today, and His Highness left early."
Outside the corridor, the wind chimes swayed in the wind, making a clear and pleasant sound. Qiao'er said as she spread the porridge for her:
"Today is the horseback archery class. Your riding gear has been sent to the academy, Princess."
Regarding these matters, Zhao Mingzhu always trusted Qiao'er's arrangements while she ate fried dumplings.
Changhe was seen directing the maids to move the items out of the side hall. Zhao Mingzhu asked, "What's going on? Is His Highness finally moving out?"
Good luck! She will go out and play every day from now on.
Chang He heard her words and said seriously: "No, it's just that His Highness doesn't live in the side hall anymore."
Zhao Mingzhu dropped the half-eaten fried dumplings on the plate and wondered why she couldn't understand the whole sentence.
Then she understood: "Are you going to live in the west hall? Then I'll ask Qiao'er and the others to clean it up within a month. You know it's been uninhabited there for a long time, so it's very dusty."
Zhao Mingzhu felt hypocritical for her own hypocrisy.
Chang He nodded after hearing this: "We have taken this into consideration as well, so Your Highness will not live in the West Palace."
The dumplings Zhao Mingzhu had picked up fell down again and became completely cold.
She was incredulous and cautious: "Is it what I think?"
Chang He ordered his men to move the things to the main hall, then turned around and smiled, "It's just what you thought, Crown Princess."
"No, why...why? There is only one bed in my palace. Why are you trying to steal it from me? You should go and persuade Gu Qingheng."
"Your Highness can sleep on the couch." Changhe said.
"A soft couch? That can... not work, right?"
Zhao Mingzhu put down her chopsticks and forced a smile: "That couch is too small and cramped, how can anyone sleep on it? You should go and persuade His Highness to rescind his decision."
Chang He picked up the orange on the ground and said, "His Highness asked me to ask the Crown Princess, do you know why we have to move to the main hall and squeeze into the small couch?"
Zhao Mingzhu shook her head in confusion.
"Because the Crown Princess's good boy sneaked into the side hall this morning, knocked over the candlesticks, and burned half of the room, so we can't live here anymore."
Zhao Mingzhu stretched her head and looked over. Is this true?
She looked at Qiao'er, who nodded helplessly. She had seen fire in the east hall, but she didn't think it was so serious.
Zhao Mingzhu's eyes were dull. So this is what it means when a mother pays for a son's debt?
Wouldn't she then live under Gu Qingheng's watch forever and never be able to be reborn?
Zhao Mingzhu's face was distorted...
