Guanyan walked along the corridor leading to the Prajna Hall. After climbing a few steps, he felt his arms slightly sore, so he gently put the stool on the ground and shook his sore wrists.
"Hey, you've really fallen into a honey pot lately!"
The sudden voice startled Guan Yan. He turned around and saw Guan Qi standing on a high place with his arms folded across his chest, looking at him with a playful look on his face.
Guan Yan lowered his head and replied somewhat awkwardly, "The old lady has taken good care of me, so I will naturally do my best to serve in the Prajna Hall."
Guanqi leaned against the railing of the corridor, his face slightly unhappy. "Because of you, Lanyue Pavilion is a mess now. The young mistress has moved to Tingyu Pavilion, and the prince is taking out all his anger on me. I'm so unlucky now that even drinking cold water makes my teeth ache."
Faced with Guanqi's complaints, Guanyan was speechless for a moment and could only glance at him secretly, feeling a little timid for a moment.
"Oh, forget it. It's useless to blame you. I'm a servant after all. I can only blame myself for my bad luck." Guanqi looked at Guanyan's pitiful appearance, sighed helplessly, waved his sleeves, and said resignedly.
Seeing this, Guanyan felt relieved, knowing that Guanqi was not here to cause trouble for him, so he quickly picked up the stool and wanted to escape back to the Prajna Hall.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't walk so fast. I won't eat you." Guanqi saw that he was about to leave and hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.
Guan Yan was a little embarrassed, "I have to hurry back to Prajna Hall to work."
Guanqi looked around and confirmed that no one was around. He pulled Guanyan aside, suppressed his smile, and said seriously, "The prince favored you before, and I was a little jealous. But when I think about it, you're pitiful. There's no hatred between us, and I'm not so mean as to want to kill you."
Seeing that he suddenly became so serious, Guan Yan couldn't help but ask curiously: "What do you want to say?"
The other party said bluntly: "I have been serving the prince for a while, and he always said that he would look for you after his injuries healed..." Guanqi paused and continued: "To be honest, he is the prince after all, and the entire mansion will belong to him sooner or later. After all, the old lady is old and can't protect you forever. As the saying goes, you can hide on the first day, but you can't hide on the fifteenth day..."
"Why not take advantage of the fact that the old lady likes you now and make plans for yourself. As long as your request is not excessive, the old lady should be able to agree to it."
After saying this, Guanqi shrugged helplessly, "I'm a servant born in a family. I can't leave home and start my own business. I can only stay in the mansion for the rest of my life, looking after my master and making a living..."
These words made Guanyan's originally carefree mood fall to the bottom, as if a basin of cold water was poured from head to toe in the cold winter of December, and a paleness appeared on his face.
