"What's wrong?" Zhao Chengmo had already sensed the other party's gaze, and moved closer while asking.
"I'm much better now. I'm hungry, so I'll go eat first." After saying that, he turned around and walked away quickly. His back looked like he was fleeing in a hurry.
Gu Feirui came over and asked, "Why didn't Lingze wait for us and left first?"
Zhao Chengmo curled his lips and smiled meaningfully, "He said he was hungry."
After dinner, the family sat together to drink tea, which was a rare occasion. Only then did Gu Lingze remember that he still had important things to do.
"Mom, can you help me find the best matchmaker? I'm useful."
Puff——cough, cough cough cough…
As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Tianhua spat out a mouthful of tea, and then the whole hall was filled with choking coughs.
Gu Feirui pounded his chest, and just as he caught his breath, he shouted, "I don't agree!!"
Gu Lingze looked at him in confusion, "What do you disagree with?"
Gu Feirui strode up to him, held his shoulders, and looked at him with a look of deep sorrow: "Brother, why are you so anxious!"
Gu Lingze didn't know why he was so excited, he could only look at him, blinked and said: "This matter must be urgent, if you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again."
Gu Feirui gritted his teeth and shouted, "Of course there are stores! They are all good stores!" After shouting, he turned around and glared at Zhao Chengmo with "anger", and asked, "Tell me, was it that brat who forced you to do that?"
After hearing what Gu Feirui said, the other three members of the Gu family all turned their attention to Zhao Chengmo and stared at him closely.
When Gu Lingze saw this, he immediately understood the reason and raised his shoulders to shake off Gu Feirui's hand.
"You don't think I'm in a hurry to get married, do you?" After he said that, he saw the other four people in the Gu family nodded in unison.
Gu Lingze was at a loss for words, "I asked the matchmaker to teach Qi Yixuan and Cheng Jiao a lesson."
After hearing this, the four members of the Gu family breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhao Chengmo sighed in disappointment.
Xie Qingwan came back to her senses and asked doubtfully, "They are both men, are you going to arrange for them to get married?"
Gu Lingze smiled and said, "Of course not, I promised them all to a beautiful bride."
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing anything else, only that Qi Yixuan and Cheng Jiao might be in big trouble.
The next day, Gu Lingze had someone make a paper sedan chair and also prepare the man's "engagement gift". The gift had to come from the other party's family, so this matter was handed over to Zhao Chengmo.
Seeing that everyone had something to do, Gu Feirui was inevitably a little bored, so he asked Gu Lingze to give him a task. Gu Lingze did not know whether to laugh or cry. Although the other party was his second brother, sometimes he felt that there was no difference between that and having a younger brother.
As the two were talking, the eldest prince came over. They were about to salute but were stopped by the other party.
Qi Junhuai has been in a good mood these past two days. Although the Queen has not yet woken up, she has been receiving acupuncture treatment from Gu Lingze, so her complexion looks better day by day.
"I saw everyone was coming in and out today, so I came over to see what you were doing and if there was anything I could help you with."
Qi Junhuai was one of them, so Gu Lingze told him his plan. This kind of thing mostly happened among the people, so Qi Junhuai, as a prince, also heard it for the first time.
"Can a dead person marry a living person?" The other party was a little surprised after hearing what Gu Lingze said.
Gu Lingze patiently explained to him why ghost marriages exist among the people.
Some boys and girls die before they get married. After their death, they cannot enjoy sacrifices from their descendants, nor can they be buried in the ancestral tomb. This is a very tragic and pitiful thing in the eyes of the deceased's relatives.
Furthermore, food, sex, and love are the greatest desires of human beings. Since one did not enjoy the happiness of family life during his lifetime, getting engaged in the underworld after death can be considered a kind of compensation.
This way the deceased will not feel resentful, and it is also beneficial to the feng shui of the house.
"However, the partners of ghost marriages are usually deceased, not living people."
Qi Junhuai also became interested when he heard this, and asked, "Is there anything I can help with?"
Gu Lingze raised his eyebrows. What's more, there was indeed something he needed help with, so he said, "I wanted to ask my eldest brother to invite him today, but I didn't expect His Highness to come by chance. He really needs help with something."
Qi Junhuai raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? Tell me about it."
It was late at night, and Qi Yixuan returned to his bedroom tiredly.
I got the news yesterday that Qin Zhantian was safe and sound. He tried to discuss the matter with Cheng Jiao several times, but the other party refused to meet him, which made him very upset.
There are many things that require the emperor's intervention now, but he cannot control the situation. He discussed with his subordinates for a whole day, but no one could come up with a useful idea.
As soon as Qi Yixuan came in, he sat there rubbing his brows. Wen Wangshu saw this and ordered someone to bring the ginseng soup that had been warmed up and advised: "Etiquette has its own rules and regulations, and things have their own priorities. Your husband has been working hard these days, so you should pay more attention to your health."
Qi Yixuan opened his eyes, held her hand and said, "I have so many people around me, but I still think you are gentle and considerate."
Wen Wangshu smiled softly, opened the lid of the ginseng soup pot, and was about to scoop it into the bowl, but Qi Yixuan frowned and said, "Don't drink the ginseng soup today. Send someone to help you take a bath."
After Qi Yixuan finished bathing, the palace servants packed up their things and filed out. The palace maid who was responsible for holding the clothes walked at the end of the team.
The team passed through a long corridor and reached a bend. The palace maid walking at the end suddenly heard a slight sound from behind. Just as she was about to look back, she felt a pain in her neck and then lost consciousness.
Qi Junhuai has successfully obtained Qi Yixuan's hair, and Gu Feirui's target is Cheng Jiao.
He was holding the things given by Gu Lingze and looking for Cheng Jiao.
Gu Lingze was almost 100% sure that Cheng Jiao was seriously injured, otherwise he would not have let his second brother take the risk alone.
Even if Cheng Jiao was not injured, what Gu Lingze prepared could ensure that Gu Feirui could escape unscathed.
Gu Feirui followed the paper bird that Gu Lingze gave him all the way to the outside of the palace wall, where the paper bird fell to the ground and lay motionless.
Gu Feirui jumped over the palace wall and found that it was pitch black and very quiet inside. There was not even a single palace guard.
He subconsciously touched the giant clam bead on his wrist and felt that the atmosphere around him was really weird.
Gu Feirui has never been a timid person, but he also knows how to act cautiously, not to mention that Cheng Jiao has never been a simple character.
Gu Feirui searched room after room but didn't see anyone. Now there was only one room left, so Gu Feirui became extremely alert.
He pushed open the door and found a suite inside. Just as Gu Feirui moved to the table in the outer hall, a man's hoarse voice suddenly rang out from the inner room, "Who!"
