Chapter 60 Ten days is ten days

Xie Anci glanced at him sideways and turned his face away unnaturally.

"I came to see if you were dead." Xie Anci said unhappily.

Gu Lingyu chuckled, "That might disappoint the Regent."

Seeing that he was fine, Xie Anci was about to leave, but Gu Lingyu pulled his sleeve to stop him from leaving.

"Something?" Xie Anci raised his eyebrows.

"I almost died to save you, can't you take care of me for a few days?" Gu Lingyu pulled the corner of Xie Anci's clothes, his handsome face full of grievances.

"Who saved whom?" Xie Anci narrowed his eyes, he hadn't said that he was dragged into the river by Gu Lingyu to save him.

If it weren't for Gu Lingyu, they wouldn't have suffered this disaster.

Gu Lingyu looked apologetic and fell silent.

"Isn't it enough to have a maid to take care of you?" Xie Anci couldn't help asking when he looked at him with his head down.

"No, I'm not used to being served by strangers." Gu Lingyu grabbed the corner of Xie Anci's clothes tightly and refused to let him go.

"Besides, what were you thinking before you were hit by the falling rocks? You were so obsessed with it." Gu Lingyu dragged Xie Anci to the head of his bed, rested his chin on Xie Anci's shoulder and asked in a low voice.

Xie Anci froze. Maybe he was possessed by a ghost at that time, and he was actually thinking nonsense in such a dangerous place.

Seeing that Xie Anci didn't answer, Gu Lingyu's face darkened, "What are you thinking about? Huh?" His voice was hoarse, and his right hand tightly hugged Xie Anci's thin waist.

"Nothing, none of your business." Xie Anci frowned.

"Huh, Jinchen is so good, worthy of your heart and soul?" Gu Lingyu couldn't help but snorted coldly, and his heart was sour.

"Better than you." Xie Anci blurted out, and Gu Lingyu's face froze.

He shouldn't have asked, it was really boring.

"Can you let me go?" Xie Anci twisted his body gently, but was afraid of pulling the wound of the man behind him.

"No! Take care of me for half a month and I'll let you go." Gu Lingyu shook his head. The scent of gardenia on Xie Anci's body made him inhale a few times.

The wounds on his body didn't seem to hurt so much.

"You wish, I'm not your maid." Xie Anci naturally refused to agree.

Gu Lingyu pouted, "Brother Anci is partial! Why can Li Jinchen do it, but I can't?"

Gu Lingyu's words made Xie Anci seem to return to the past.

Gu Lingyu used to be very annoying, but he would be much more obedient in front of him. He always complained to him that he was good to Li Jinchen and Zhou Yunqing, but not to him.

Every time Xie Anci didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Who made Gu Lingyu always act like a little bully? He couldn't stand others riding on his head the most.

Xie Anci didn't know when he was moved. It could be the hug that Li

Jinchen held tightly to him when he lost his parents, or it could be the serious look on Li Jinchen's face that stayed by his side when he was sick. Gu Lingyu looked at the dazed Xie Anci and shook his shoulders, telling him not to think about Li Jinchen anymore!

"What for?" Xie Anci came to his senses and asked unhappily.

"Take care of me, or I will pester you every day." Gu Lingyu's words were so irritating that Xie Anci turned around and left.

In the next few days, Xie Anci realized what it meant to "pester him".

Xie Anci stayed in the room to look at the account book, so Gu Lingyu asked someone to carry him to his room and stared at him as he handled official business.

When Xie Anci was eating, he sat beside him and chattered about his iron heart.

When Xie Anci was sleeping, he moved his bed directly to his bedside.

When Xie Anci went to the government office, he stood beside him like a door panel.

By the way, when Gu Lingyu was tired of standing, he just lay on the ground, looking like a rogue.

Xie Anci was very annoyed.

"I understand. I will take care of you for ten days. If you bother me again, I will throw you out." Xie Anci pinched his eyebrows and said unhappily.

Gu Lingyu's eyes were the most flexible when he was lying on the bed. He squinted and couldn't help laughing.

"Half a month."

"Ten days."

"Okay." Gu Lingyu compromised. Ten days is ten days.

On the other hand, Xie You hurried, almost soaked in the rain all the way, and several horses died, and finally arrived in the capital on the eighth day. The

people in the capital were in panic. Xie You felt that the atmosphere was wrong as soon as he stepped into the capital, and hurriedly rode to the Regent Prince's Palace.

The gate of the Regent Prince's Palace had been sealed, and a frail old man was hunched over at the door.

"Butler Zhang!" Xie You quickly got off the horse.

Zhang Pingan raised his head when he heard the voice, and couldn't help crying when he saw Xie You.

"Young Master... where have you been? The palace..."

Xie You interrupted him, "Butler Zhang, don't say anything, I've probably guessed it."

Xie You angrily glared at the guards standing by.

"Young Master..." Zhang Pingan wiped his tears, and the fear of the past few days made him fall down.

A faint scent of incense rose in the antique room.

"Boss, you're back." The shopkeeper of You'an Building bowed respectfully to Xie You.

"How is Butler Zhang?" Xie You drank a sip of tea, his face full of fatigue.

He hasn't closed his eyes for several days.

"The situation is not good. The doctor said that he was caught in the rain and caught a cold. He is old and may not be able to bear it..."

"Shut up!" Xie You slammed the table, "Please ask the best doctor in the capital to come and make sure to cure him."

Xie You had a gloomy face. Butler Zhang was someone Xie Anci cared about very much. He was the one who watched Xie Anci grow up and the one who accompanied Xie Anci the longest.

If Butler Zhang was gone, Xie You could not imagine how sad Xie Anci would be.

"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper responded quickly. He

was very confused about the intention of the young man in front of him. He was just a servant, but he had to spend so much thought on him.

But he didn't have to pay for it. He just had to find someone.

"What happened in the capital recently? Where is the right prime minister Lu Yunzheng?" Xie You inquired about the recent situation in the capital.

"Boss..." The shopkeeper was nervous when he heard this, and he carefully closed the doors and windows before saying:

"Not long after the Regent left, the emperor took action. The first thing he did was to put the right prime minister in the prison. Now we don't know whether he is dead or alive."

"Where are the other ministers?" Xie You tightly grasped the teacup in his hand, and his knuckles turned slightly white.

"Them? Some of them sided with the emperor, and some were exiled to the border. Now the officials in the capital are in danger and wish they could pinch their heads." The shopkeeper told the recent situation in the capital truthfully.

Fortunately, he was just a businessman, so it didn't affect them much.

But the boss was the adopted son of the Regent, so this matter might not be easy to handle.

"Boss, why don't you hide away recently? I'm afraid the emperor will take action against you." The shopkeeper suggested.

Xie You's anger rose up, but the shopkeeper was right.

He also promised his adoptive father to hide away with Zhang the housekeeper.

"Okay, I got it." Xie You stood up irritably. Fortunately, he bought a house next to the Regent Palace, which could also be used as a place to stay.
