Chapter 215 It seems that Miss Gu is angry with the emperor's uncle in her reply
Bai Ziyu wrote a very long letter in which he explained in detail what had happened. Gu Siqing had a hunch that he explained it in such detail because he was worried that she would be angry.
After escaping the pursuit of the former king of Qi, in order not to attract attention, Bai Ziyu first lived in a thatched hut arranged by Gu Siqing, and he stayed there for several years.
"Now I have the ability to protect myself, so don't worry. The capital of Yue is about to enter autumn, and your foundation is weak. Please take care of yourself. We will meet again in the future."
This letter took up five sheets of paper and was filled with densely written words, but Gu Siqing was very patient and read every word to the end.
After reading the letter, Gu Siqing went back to the bedroom, lit a candle, and burned the letter.
Of course, she couldn't keep the letter sent by King Xiaoyao of Qi. As a Yue citizen, if she was discovered to have had contact with King Xiaoyao, she would not be able to explain it even if she had a hundred mouths.
Thinking of what Bai Ziyu said at the end of the letter, Gu Siqing snorted and murmured, "Why is this guy so sentimental? Who cares about him? He hid his identity from me for so long, and only told me after he returned. He still has the nerve to write a letter."
Gu Siqing sat down on the edge of the couch with her arms folded across her chest, swinging her legs out of boredom.
After confirming the other party's identity, she felt depressed. In her previous life, she didn't know Bai Ziyu's true identity until her death. He was quite good at hiding it.
Sitting beside the low couch, Gu Siqing stared at the ashes falling on the table for a while, and sighed irritably: "I really owe him."
Gu Siqing walked to the table, knelt down, took out the ink block and ground the ink. Although she felt resentful that Bai Ziyu had kept it a secret from her for so long, she still wrote him a reply letter.
In the letter, Gu Siqing congratulated him on his safe return to Qi to take charge of the overall situation. She wished him a bright future and all the best. As for the relationship between the two of them, the kindness they had shown to each other was over and they owed each other nothing, so they should not contact each other again.
Bai Ziyu ordered someone to send the letter, and received a reply in less than half a month.
The capital of Qi was some distance away from the capital of Yue. The fact that the letter arrived within half a month meant that the other party had asked the post station to send the letter by express horse.
Bai Ziyu was eagerly waiting for Gu Siqing's reply, wanting to know how the other party would respond to him, so he opened the letter immediately after receiving it.
Under the bright light, the woman's handwriting is beautiful and easy to read.
However, after reading the contents of the letter, Bai Ziyu did not feel very happy.
"We don't owe each other anything, so don't contact each other anymore." Bai Ziyu silently recited these words in his heart, feeling indescribably sad.
When he wrote the letter to Gu Siqing, he thought that Gu Siqing would remember him in her heart. It was true... Gu Siqing was a bit stubborn. Once she was really angry, she would not be able to get over it even after ten days or half a month.
The letter said something like not to contact him, but it was simply because Gu Siqing was angry that he had hidden his true identity from her for so long.
Back then, in a foreign country, Bai Ziyu's situation was like duckweed. Behind him was the King of Qi who had not given up the search, so he did not dare to act rashly. When people get out of the days of being hunted down, they always crave for peace.
If he told Gu Siqing his identity, too many accidents would happen easily and she might be implicated. Therefore, even before leaving, when Bai Ziyu was unsure whether he could return to his homeland safely, he chose to keep his mouth shut.
After reading the letter, Bai Ziyu carefully folded it, put it in an envelope, and locked it in a wooden box.
"The Imperial Uncle has a frown on his face, and he looks like he has a lot on his mind. It seems that Miss Gu is angry with the Imperial Uncle in her reply?" Xuanyuan Yu was sitting next to Bai Ziyu. Seeing Bai Ziyu's expression, he teased his Imperial Uncle with a playful smile.
His guess was right. There was something complicated between the Emperor's uncle and Miss Gu.
"Even when he argued with those difficult old ministers in the court and was criticized, his uncle was not moved by anything. But after reading a letter, his brows were furrowed so much that they could crush an ant. This really made my nephew curious about what was written in the letter."
He teased Bai Ziyu jokingly, and he seemed to be really ignorant of his own danger. Bai Ziyu pulled the corner of his mouth with a fake smile: "I haven't settled the old score with you yet, but you are ignorant of your own danger and walked into the muzzle of the gun."
It was only after Bai Ziyu returned to Qi that he realized that the reason why Gu Siqing doubted his identity was because Xuanyuan Yu was too talkative.
Xuanyuan Yu respected his uncle the Emperor very much, but he was a bit careless and liked to joke around.
However, he became obedient after being threatened by Bai Ziyu. If he really angered the emperor's uncle, he would make him pay for it. Although Bai Ziyu has a gentle face, he is known as the Jade-faced Yama in the court of Qi State. You can't say goodbye to him.
Xuanyuan Yu held his chin and looked at Bai Ziyu from time to time. Although this man was his uncle, his surname was not Xuanyuan, but his mother's surname was Bai. Although Bai Ziyu's biological mother had planned this for him and even gave up her royal surname, the king of Qi who succeeded to the throne did not give up on killing him.
"Tomorrow in the court, the ministers will definitely give you trouble. Go back and read all of this. I can't help you every time."
Bai Ziyu placed a stack of memorials and policy papers in front of Xuanyuan Yu. Xuanyuan Yu was a promising talent who could understand many things at a glance.
Bai Ziyu does not want the throne. Now he just sits in the court to stabilize the situation in Qi. When the time is ripe and Xuanyuan Yu can completely stand on his own, that will be the day when Xuanyuan Yu ascends the throne.
"Thank you, uncle, for your concern." Xuanyuan Yu took the heavy letters and memorials from Bai Ziyu and bowed politely.
Xuanyuan Yu left the study. Bai Ziyu glanced at the letter on the table, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and a secret guard appeared.
"You must arrange two people to go to Yue State. They must be secret guards who are very good at hiding their whereabouts. Have them keep an eye on all the movements of the granddaughter of Prime Minister Yin of Yue State. Anything related to her must be reported back to Qi State in a timely manner to inform the king."
The autumn in Yue State is particularly rainy. When it is not raining, if the sun is out, the weather is a bit dry. No matter which one, Gu Siqing doesn't like it.
Attending the same banquets day after day, Gu Siqing was enthusiastic at first, but soon she became bored. Anyone who invited her to a banquet regarded her as a hot commodity, and those with a higher social status were more domineering and overbearing.
After attending many banquets, Gu Siqing only moved around with the young men from wealthy families, and rarely came into contact with men from humble families. It was not that Gu Siqing didn't want to, but the young men from prominent families surrounded her, and others didn't dare to ask for trouble.
In this way, Gu Siqing failed to achieve her goal and instead wasted a lot of energy. Gradually, she attended fewer and fewer banquets.
For every move of Gu Siqing, the secret guards sent by Bai Ziyu would find a post station and rush it to their master within 800 miles.
Bai Ziyu knew everything that happened around Gu Siqing, including her search for a suitable person and preparations for marriage.
