Chu Zhiyao was about to follow in, but a slender hand suddenly blocked his steps.
Then the hand turned into a finger and shook in front of his eyes.
"No, no."
The man in black smiled mischievously and looked at Chu Zhiyao.
"The Imperial Master is clearly displeased with General Chu, yet General Chu still eagerly follows him. Isn't this a bit like being in love with someone who doesn't like you?"
Unlike everyone else in Jinchu, this man was ruthless when speaking to Chu Zhiyao.
Under normal circumstances, Chu Zhiyao might have just pretended not to hear and let it go, but now, Luo Zhaozhao was still here.
Chu Zhiyao clenched his hands at his sides, gnashing his teeth.
"Who are you?"
If Chu Zhiyao had not seen this kind of person before in Jin and Chu, he would have taken action long ago.
I've never heard of anyone in Jin or Chu being close to the Imperial Master, so who is this person...
Seeing the confusion and anger in Chu Zhiyao's eyes, the man in black jumped three meters away.
"What? You still want to hit me? I'm warning you, I'm still the Imperial Master's friend! The Imperial Master will protect me..."
"Yan Hui, send him in quickly."
Xu Qingyi's voice came from inside, and the word "send" was particularly harsh.
He was well-known for being ruthless, but now that it was said to his face, Chu Zhiyao's brows became even more fierce.
He is a general after all, and the way he looks at this moment gives off a very strong sense of oppression.
Unexpectedly, the man in black was not affected at all. Instead, he leaned against the door frame as usual, with a faint smile and yawned.
"Did you hear that? How about I give you guys a proper send-off?"
…
After arriving at the private room, Gu Qingsheng sat down before realizing what had just happened.
She looked at Xu Qingyi in a daze, and when she realized that Xu Qingyi was not looking at her at all, she lowered her head again.
"Thank you, Imperial Master, for your help. This is... I don't know how many times."
"It's hardly a rescue."
Push a cup of tea to Gu Qingsheng
"I just felt like the princess was asking for help, so I resorted to this desperate measure. It was unintentional to offend the princess."
"What do you mean by unintentional? I think you just wanted to hug her! You two haven't seen each other for so long and you're still having a fight! You must have something bad on your mind!"
"You tsundere! I've seen through you two."
Miao Lanlan's voice broke through the air.
Perhaps as a modern person, the cold atmosphere between Gu Qingsheng and Xu Qingyi was unbearable for her. After a long time, she finally exploded and roared like this.
Zheng Xueyi immediately drew out her sword and was alert to her surroundings.
"What's that sound!"
Gu Qingsheng: ...
"Xueyi, go out and watch."
Gu Qingsheng and Xu Qingyi's expressions were normal. For a moment, Zheng Xueyi thought the sound she had just heard was an illusion.
She blinked twice and looked around with some suspicion. She picked up her sword and walked to the door, looking back every few steps.
After Zheng Xueyi left, the atmosphere between the two became a little subtle because of Miao Lanlan's roar.
It was a long time later that I heard Xu Qingyi say
"Is your injury feeling better?"
When talking about the injury, Gu Qingsheng became a little excited.
"How's your injury? Are you feeling better?"
She questioned so excitedly that she even moved closer to Xu Qingyi. The fragrance of the woman came and surrounded him. Xu Qingyi's eyelashes trembled a little. His hands under the table trembled slightly, and he remembered the last time he was covered in blood.
“…It’s okay.”
After saying this, the atmosphere became tense again.
Miao Lanlan was once again frustrated that no one paid attention to her roar and venting.
Unfortunately, both of them were taciturn and chose to ignore everything she said just now. This made Miao Lanlan very angry, and her chest was buzzing with anger.
The vibration of the black ocarina could no longer be ignored, so Gu Qingsheng could only take it out and put it on the table.
"You two! You two big grudges! You really piss me off!"
"Why can't you just be honest with each other? You clearly..."
"Master Imperial Master~"
Before Miao Lanlan could finish her words, a very resentful male voice came from her.
Yan Hui slammed the door shut and walked to Xu Qingyi with a sad expression.
"Helping you deal with that general made me feel like my lifespan had shortened by ten years."
His tone of voice was very gentle, even more so than the one singing downstairs.
Yan Hui spoke, and Miao Lanlan shut her mouth instantly.
Gu Qingsheng felt a little embarrassed, and thought that Miao Lanlan must be angry to death by now.
"It's a good thing it's only ten years shorter. It's good that he didn't get angry and want to kill you."
Xu Qingyi took over.
Thanks to Yan Hui's arrival, the atmosphere was at least not so awkward. Chu Zhiyao and Luo Zhaozhao outside had already left. Gu Qingsheng looked at Zheng Xueyi's somewhat thin figure outside the window and nodded.
"If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave..."
“Hey wait!!”
Gu Qingsheng wants to leave, but Yan Hui refuses to accept it.
He walked around Gu Qingsheng and showed her his white teeth. His little canine teeth were very cute.
"I've heard a lot about you, Your Highness. I'm Yan Hui, the Imperial Preceptor..."
After thinking about it, Yan Hui nodded heavily.
"He's the Imperial Master's friend, right?"
Gu Qingsheng had never met Yan Hui in her previous life. Like Chu Zhiyao, she had never heard of this person in Jinchu.
But the surname Yan...
"Hello, Master Yan."
"I didn't know the Imperial Master had such a bright and wise friend. I'm really surprised."
"But I'm afraid I won't have much time to exchange pleasantries with Master Yan today. I've been away for a long time, and my family might be worried."
Yan Hui had no choice but to agree because of the good reasons. Although he wanted to talk to Gu Qingsheng for a few more words, since Gu Qingsheng had said so, and thinking of Prince Duan's temperament, Yan Hui could only nod his head.
"It's a pity this time, Princess."
"See you next time."
…
After Gu Qingsheng left, Yan Hui's face suddenly took on an unfathomable expression.
His eyes sparkled, and he stroked his chin, watching Gu Qingsheng's back as he walked away with great interest.
"How can a girl go out without a maid and bring a gangster with her?"
"Besides, I see that woman's martial arts skills are not low. The person you are interested in is indeed not simple."
Xu Qingyi did not answer Yan Hui's words. In the teahouse, opera singing could be heard one after another, and people were cheering loudly.
He looked out the window at the crowded street, his face gloomy.
The tea is steaming
"They will be here soon."
"right."
Yan returns
"They should have entered the city by now. Perhaps they could have run into your princess head-on."
The dark tea had a bitter taste. Xu Qingyi walked to the window with his hands behind his back.
"Stop calling her that."
The words "your princess" made Xu Qingyi sigh for the first time in a long time.
"It will make her feel wronged."
