Chapter 76 Why are you looking for Qi Jinxiu?
Shen Yujiao never expected that her cousin would actually put her in jail. Among all the noble ladies in the capital, who had ever been imprisoned?
If she ends up like this, not only will she be unable to marry her cousin, but even ordinary officials might not be willing to marry her.
She had never understood why her cousin could be so heartless towards her, given that she had loved him since childhood. But this wasn't the time to think about such things. She had long since abandoned her haughty attitude and, choking back tears, pleaded:
"Cousin, don't abandon me. Jiaojiao will never dare to harm anyone again. Please forgive Jiaojiao this time. From now on, I will treat Miss Zhao kindly with you and regard her as my own sister."
Jiaojiao doesn't want to go to jail, much less be exiled; that would ruin her life. Cousin, I beg you…”
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Nanxiao snatched back his robe, ignored the shouts behind him, and led Yunxi away from Dali Temple without looking back.
After the two got into the carriage, Gu Nanxiao habitually pulled her onto his lap. He looked at Yunxi, who seemed a little dazed, and asked, "Is this how you deal with Shen Yujiao?"
Seeing that Yunxi still ignored him as usual, he was slightly disappointed, but he still solemnly promised, "From now on, as long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you."
Yunxi was touched by his words. Although she felt that Gu Nanxiao might not be able to do it, after all, in this imperial society, he did not have the right to ascend to the throne, so he would naturally have countless things beyond his control. It was easier said than done to ensure that no one would bully him.
But Yunxi wouldn't forgive him easily. Even if Gu Nanxiao didn't know that the physician had switched the medicine with inferior ones, he should know that all medicines have some degree of toxicity.
If he really valued himself that much, why would he arrange for a contraceptive decoction? If he wanted to prevent pregnancy, why didn't he take the medicine himself?
Moreover, the damage to his body is indeed irreversible, so why should he be forgiven simply because he claimed ignorance?
Yunxi snorted coldly, asking with a hint of mockery, "What if you were the one bullying me? How does Your Excellency plan to resolve that?"
Although Yunxi's attitude was very cold, even somewhat rude, Gu Nanxiao was overjoyed.
After all, compared to the attitude of ignoring and completely rejecting him the other day, how can it not be a huge change that he is now willing to argue with her?
Ignoring Yunxi's cold face, Gu Nanxiao gently kissed the corner of her lips and said with a smile, "That's easy. I'll take care of dealing with the outsiders, and you take care of dealing with me."
But we can agree beforehand that only physical punishment is allowed, no mental torture, and you're not allowed to keep thinking about leaving.
Yunxi couldn't stand Gu Nanxiao's glib tongue, so she snorted and elegantly rolled her eyes. To Gu Nanxiao, his uncouth behavior was nothing short of provocation.
The man turned her face towards him and pressed a domineering and forceful kiss onto her lips, as if venting the pent-up frustration that had been building up inside him for days. He frantically conquered her lips and teeth.
Only when she was completely limp and breathless, leaning weakly against Gu Nanxiao's chest, did the man finally let her go. But as soon as Yunxi came to her senses, she met the man's lustful eyes and noticed the undeniable changes in his body.
As expected, Yunxi couldn't give Gu Nanxiao a pleasant look. She pretended to struggle to get out of his embrace, but Gu Nanxiao held her firmly in his arms and warned in a hoarse voice, "Don't move! Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to control myself and will take you in the carriage."
His words effectively stopped Yunxi from doing anything. The carriage was passing through the bustling city, and the curtains and windows were swaying in the wind. If anything were to happen here, it would surely be discovered.
Moreover, Yunxi knows this beast's nature better than anyone else; he might really act recklessly without any regard for consequences.
Seeing that she had stopped moving, Gu Nanxiao buried his face in Yunxi's neck, panting heavily as he tried to suppress the burning desire within him. They finally reached the alley where the Prince Yong's residence was located.
Before they even reached the main gate, he hurriedly told Mo Yu to stop the car, and then used his lightness skill to carry Yunxi over the wall back to the master bedroom.
Gu Nanxiao quickly stripped the two of their clothes off, then took out the anklet with a golden bell from the bedside table, and with a click, fastened it to Yunxi's slender ankle. He then transformed into a wolf and pounced on her.
A man who had been celibate for a while was indeed more terrifying, tormenting Yunxi until she begged for mercy repeatedly before he didn't come a fourth time. By this time, it was completely dark, and Yunxi refused dinner, wanting only to sleep.
Exhausted, Yunxi was held tightly in Gu Nanxiao's arms. Before falling asleep, Yunxi recalled that their intimate moment this time seemed different from the past.
Gu Nanxiao had been deliberately attentive to her feelings, and for the first time, he made her realize that intimacy could be so pleasurable.
Looking at the satisfied little girl, Gu Nanxiao couldn't help but smile. It turned out that the perfect match was when the two of them were in sync, body and soul.
The following afternoon, Yunxi and Gu Nanxiao were in the study, studying the explosive charges that the train could throw.
At this moment, Qi Jinxiu sent someone to report: "Reporting to the master, the secret guards we sent to the dungeon to give Shen Yujiao the infertility drug were stopped by the Marquis's secret guards."
Upon hearing this, Yunxi angrily questioned Gu Nanxiao: "Why did you stop my people? Is this to protect your cousin?"
But to his surprise, after hearing the report, Gu Nanxiao, equally annoyed, asked instead of answering, "Why should I protect her? Besides, I've already sent someone to give her a drug that will prevent her from having children."
As for the guards left behind, they were there to watch over Shen Yujiao, to prevent anyone from sabotaging her in prison and lest she die and the blame be placed on you.
Yunxi hadn't expected this reason. Seeing that he could so ruthlessly punish Shen Yujiao for her sake, she felt a sense of satisfaction.
This time, however, it was Gu Nanxiao who was relentless. He dismissed everyone in the room, placed his large hands on Yunxi's shoulders, forced her to look directly at him, and asked with a hint of annoyance:
"Why don't you ask me to do things for you? Why do you ask Qi Jinxiu?"
Yunxi replied bluntly, "You need to be paid to do things for me, but I don't need to pay him."
Gu Nanxiao was even angrier now. He felt that Yunxi's words meant that the two of them were outsiders, while Yunxi and Qi Jinxiu were his own people.
He asked indignantly, "We're clearly closer, so why do you have to pay me when you ask me to do something, but not when you ask him?"
Yunxi seemed puzzled by his question, not understanding what Gu Nanxiao was struggling with, but she didn't think too much about it and replied directly:
"Because everything he has now was given to him by my god-sister, isn't it only natural for me to ask him to do some things for me?"
Gu Nanxiao never expected such a reason, leaving him speechless for a moment. But a thought flashed through her mind, and her indignation slowly turned into a silly smile.
Yunxi had never seen him act so foolishly before, and she didn't understand what had gotten into him this time. Yunxi never imagined that her words today would start Gu Nanxiao's path of living off her.
Yunxi was in a good mood today and decided to cook some of her signature dishes for the two of them, and also let Gu Nanxiao taste the Chinese cuisine from a thousand years later.
Just as the food was served and the two hadn't even touched their chopsticks, a palace eunuch came to summon Gu Nanxiao to the palace to meet the emperor.
No sooner had Gu Nanxiao left than another palace eunuch arrived, carrying the Empress Dowager's decree, to summon Yunxi to the palace.
