Chapter 83 Chapter 82 The two of them were in the house...
Warm breath hit Gu Shiyan's face. Mu Congmo kept whispering in Gu Shiyan's ear during the kiss: "Ayan, are you comfortable?"
Gu Shiyan's whole body went limp, and he didn't have the energy to pay attention to him, so the only response Mu Congmo received was Gu Shiyan's coquettish grumble. The atmosphere in the room had reached its limit. Mu Congmo was afraid that if this continued, he would not be able to control the desire deep in his heart, so he ended this long and gentle kiss.
He held Gu Shiyan's head with one hand, half-holding him in his arms. Gu Shiyan sat on his lap, and he felt a strange sensation beside his leg, as if something hard was pressing against it. Gu Shiyan was incredibly weak at the moment, and he still couldn't understand why this was so exhausting than sword practice.
His eyes were somewhat unfocused, filled with fatigue. All the strength in his body had been used up by the kiss just now. Mu Congmo held him in his arms, his eyes filled with some dissatisfaction and forbearance and restraint.
Mu Congmo licked the edge of his lips, as if he was savoring the traces left by Gu Shiyan just now. Gu Shiyan opened his eyes and happened to see this scene. He turned his head away with some disgust.
Happy times always pass quickly. In the blink of an eye, the sun that was originally hanging high in the sky has set, and was replaced by the bright and cold moonlight. The moonlight carries a cool breath, as if covering the entire earth with a layer of silver film.
Candles were already lit in the room, their bright red flames flickering in the cool summer breeze, casting some light on Gu Shiyan's face as he slowly flipped through a book. From Mu Congmo's perspective, Gu Shiyan's features were vaguely obscured by the book, giving him a rather "half-hidden" look.
Gu Shiyan noticed Mu Congmo's burning gaze. The latter's gaze was always so straightforward and unconcealed.
"You're not leaving yet?" Gu Shiyan said without even looking up. He sighed deeply, puzzled. Mu Congmo had such a beautiful palace, why did he insist on staying here? He stayed all day, and now it was already late at night, but Mu Congmo still had no intention of leaving.
Mu Congmo's expression remained normal, but his tone was a little aggrieved: "Are you trying to chase me away, A Yan?"
This time, his grievance was not fake. God knows how honest he was today. Since that kiss, he has never done anything to disturb Gu Shiyan. Of course, taking advantage of Gu Shiyan's reading, holding him in his arms does not count. This couch is not as comfortable as his own legs. He just wants Gu Shiyan to be more comfortable, Mu Congmo thought to himself.
This time, Gu Shiyan finally raised his head. He sighed, threw the book in his hand onto the table beside him, and then looked at Mu Congmo helplessly.
"Have you finished reviewing the memorials today?" Gu Shiyan's tone was light, and his eyes were filled with an intimidating look that could not be deceived.
Mu Congmo was feeling a bit guilty at this moment. His voice was intermittent, as if he was afraid that Gu Shiyan would be angry. "Ayan... I, then I will have someone deliver the memorial to you today."
Gu Shiyan's expression froze at that moment. He felt a bit like the enchanting concubine recorded in history books. He sighed helplessly, thinking that he couldn't go on like this. If Liang Qiulan and Gu Cheng knew about his relationship with Mu Congmo, he was worried that they wouldn't be able to accept it.
Although the servants in his courtyard had been disciplined by Hua Ling and would never gossip behind his back, which was also the reason why he dared to bring Mu Congmo back, but there was no such thing as a secret. If Liang Qiulan happened to come and see Mu Congmo, he was a little worried about Liang Qiulan's health, as his internal energy was not effective in healing injuries.
"Didn't I say that I would move into the palace tomorrow? Is that not necessary now?" Gu Shiyan's tone was questioning.
Mu Congmo's body was shaking a little, not because of nervousness, but because of excitement and joy.
He was worried that Gu Shiyan would be dissatisfied with him because of this, so he was only thinking about how to defend himself and forgot about this. Then he quickly explained: "Of course not, I just... just..."
He stood up and walked to Gu Shiyan, squatted down beside him, his affectionate peach blossom eyes sparkling with tears.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open. The visitor saw the scene in the room. She didn't know what the two were doing, and she seemed a little at a loss. She quickly covered her eyes with her hands and turned her head away, fearing that she had seen something she shouldn't have seen.
Mu Congmo was displeased, his aura tinged with anger. He stood up, his eyes filled with murderous intent. Meanwhile, Gu Shiyan's face flushed slightly, as if he were a little shy. Gu Shiyan, also somewhat dissatisfied, looked at Hua Ling as she entered, reached out and pulled Mu Congmo's arm. The latter's anger instantly dissipated, as if he had never been angry.
"How come you have no rules at all?" Gu Shiyan's tone was a little cold, but at the same time he was somewhat relieved that he and Mu Congmo did not do that kind of thing. If Hua Ling saw them, he would lose face.
This was the first time Hua Ling had felt the pressure from the emperor, and she felt a little breathless. However, she remembered that Mu Congmo had no internal energy, so how could he have such a strong pressure? For a moment, she forgot the purpose of her trip, and only remembered it after Gu Shiyan asked her.
She spread her fingers apart, and through the gaps between them she could vaguely see that the two of them had separated, so she took her palm away with an awkward smile on her face. She was looking at Gu Shiyan, and was somewhat afraid to look at Mu Congmo's expression. The other party's pressure just now had left a deep impression on her.
"Master, Madam is here and will be in the courtyard soon." Hua Ling's tone was a little anxious. She had been keeping an eye on Liang Qiulan and Gu Cheng's movements today, fearing that Gu Shiyan and the others would be disturbed.
Gu Shiyan didn't answer, but gave Mu Congmo an urging look, as if to say, "Did you hear that? Why don't you leave?"
He ordered Hua Ling, "Send him out, don't let anyone find him."
Hua Ling nodded woodenly, thinking to himself, I am indeed very smart. It seems that the relationship between the young master and His Majesty is not yet at a level that can be presented to others.
Mu Congmo stood up reluctantly, and took advantage of Hua Ling's inattention to kiss Gu Shiyan on the lips. This time, he followed Hua Ling and prepared to leave with a feeling of unsatisfied desire.
Hua Ling brought Mu Congmo to the courtyard wall. She glanced at the emperor sheepishly, unable to bring herself to ask him to climb over the wall. But who would have thought that the next second, Mu Congmo stood up and climbed over without even a glance at her.
Hua Ling was left alone there. She smiled awkwardly, as if she was feeling lucky for having successfully sent the giant Buddha away.
On the other side, Gu Shiyan was facing Liang Qiulan alone.
Half a cup of tea after Hua Ling took Mu Congmo away, Liang Qiulan and his group arrived at Gu Shiyan's courtyard.
In the room, Gu Shiyan was sitting at the table with a normal expression, as if nothing had happened and no one had come.
Liang Qiulan didn't say anything. She gave the maids beside her a look, and then the maids went out. Only the mother and son were left in the room, but the atmosphere at this time was not as relaxed as usual, but a little awkward.
After a long silence, Liang Qiulan spoke first, "Yan'er, what happened at the banquet today? I heard from the servants that you left after just a short while."
There was no questioning in her tone, but more of a genuine concern for Gu Shiyan. The latter just shook his head and said calmly, "Nothing, I just don't like occasions like this."
Liang Qiulan seemed not to have expected him to say that. She was naturally aware of what happened during the dinner today, and she had even thought about how to vent Gu Shiyan's anger, but the latter's tone sounded as if he didn't care about such things at all.
To be honest, she had neglected this matter. Most of the noble families in the capital follow the principle of flattering the powerful and looking down on the weak, so it is normal for them to target Gu Shiyan.
Gu Shiyan didn't take it seriously. To him, it was just a child's play. At first, he just wanted to teach the man a lesson at the table, but Mu Congmo happened to come, so he didn't plan to pursue the matter.
Liang Qiulan wanted to say something, but Gu Shiyan spoke first. He asked, "Mother, do you want to find a wife for me today?"
The latter smiled awkwardly, as if feeling a little guilty. She could talk about this matter in front of Gu Cheng with confidence, but she was always a little embarrassed in front of Gu Shiyan.
"Yan'er, it's time for you to get married. Besides, His Majesty urged your father about this matter last time." Liang Qiulan still felt a little embarrassed, but when he remembered that he had met several girls with outstanding family backgrounds and looks today, he was ready to continue persuading him.
Gu Shiyan was a little surprised to hear this. It turned out that this matter was somewhat related to Mu Congmo. Why was he so aggrieved today? He sneered in his heart.
Seeing that Gu Shiyan didn't say anything, Liang Qiulan continued, "The Miss Li we met today is extremely beautiful. Although her family background isn't that top-notch, as long as you like her, family background isn't a problem. And then there's Miss Wang..."
As soon as he said this, Liang Qiulan became extremely excited, not at all tired. Gu Shiyan couldn't help but hold his forehead. He never liked such things, let alone now that he was with Mu Congmo.
"Mother, I already have someone I like. You don't have to make plans for me in the future." Gu Shiyan said calmly, but his words caused a huge stir.
Liang Qiulan was a little stunned. She wasn't sure if Gu Shiyan was trying to evade her, but his tone was extremely serious, without any hint of joking.
She just stared at Gu Shiyan blankly, wanting to ask something, but worried that asking too much would be inappropriate.
So she nodded blankly. She wanted to leave anxiously. The amount of information in this matter was too much and she could not accept it. She had to go back and discuss it with Gu Chengduo.
So much so that she ignored Gu Shiyan's last words and only reacted after her body completely stepped out of the gate of Gu Shiyan's courtyard.
Gu Shiyan had just said that he would be going to the palace tomorrow and even staying there tonight. Liang Qiulan was puzzled, not knowing what had happened, but she had already left the courtyard. It was too late to go back and ask anything. She would rather go back and discuss it with Gu Chengduo. He would know more than she did.
