Holding the warm jade in his hand felt like holding Yan Muxue's warm hand. Looking at the warm jade in his palm, Gu Liyan's eyes reddened, and he choked out, "I... this is the first time I've received a gift from you..."
Every time we met again, every time I followed in her footsteps, this was the first time she had given me a gift.
Seeing Gu Liyan's tears welling up, Yan Muxue stepped forward with heartache, wiped away his tears, and said softly, "Little Li, why are you crying? Don't cry, I'll bring you gifts every day from now on!"
Hearing Yan Muxue's words, Gu Liyan couldn't help but laugh through his tears, and took her hand, saying, "Silly girl, if you gave me such expensive gifts every day, wouldn't you go bankrupt?"
“You almost lost your life because of me, so it’s only right that I spend all my money on you. Besides… now that I’m yours, my money is yours!” Yan Muxue said shyly, her face slightly flushed.
Gu Liyan raised his hand and gently pinched Yan Moxue's nose, smiling as he said, "You're right, you're my woman!"
From a distance, Baili Huangyi observed Gu Liyan and Yan Muxue's actions and sneered, "I have always suspected the relationship between the two of them, and now it seems that they must know each other."
Wang Guozhong nodded in sudden realization, "No wonder Miss Xue'er rejected Your Majesty..."
"Sigh, let's go back!" Baili Huangyi sighed and turned to return the way he came.
After Baili Huangyi and his entourage returned to the brothel, Hua Gu saw Baili Huangyi enter and hurriedly ran forward, smiling as she said, "Prince Yan, you're back!"
"Alright, now take me to see Miss Xian'er," Baili Huangyi said.
"Ping'er! Take Prince Yan upstairs!" Hua Gu hurriedly called out to Ping'er.
Ping'er, who was wiping the table, walked over impatiently, glanced coldly at Baili Huangyi, and said, "Come with me!" After Ping'er finished speaking, she turned around and went upstairs.
Baili Huangyi squinted at Ping'er, a slight smile playing on his lips, and looked at Hua Gu with a puzzled expression, asking, "What is this girl doing here?"
"You mean Ping'er? Ping'er is one of our helpers here, she does odd jobs and stuff." Hua Gu said with a smile.
Baili Huangyi smiled slightly, "A laborer? Interesting!"
Baili Huangyi waved to Wang Guozhong behind him, "Minister Wang, come with me!"
"Yes!" Wang Guozhong followed behind.
Baili Huangyi followed Ping'er upstairs. Ping'er stopped at the door and pointed to Feng Huaxian's door, saying, "This is it. Go in by yourself."
After saying that, Ping'er turned around and prepared to leave.
Baili Huangyi reached out and grabbed Ping'er's arm. "Ping'er, please wait!"
Ping'er looked at Baili Huangyi coldly and said, "You're hurting me!"
Baili Huangyi deliberately took Ping'er's hand and said with a smile, "Ping'er's hands are so soft!"
“Even the softest hand can’t compare to the noble hand of Prince Yan.” Ping’er pulled her hand back and said irritably, “Feng Hua Xian is still waiting for you, so Ping’er won’t disturb you any longer!”
After saying that, Ping'er turned and left.
Baili Huangyi couldn't help but smile, "What an interesting little fellow!" He turned to Wang Guozhong and said, "Send men to guard the area and don't let anyone else in!"
"Yes!" Wang Guozhong nodded.
Pushing open the door to Feng Huaxian's room, Baili Huangyi saw that the room was filled with smoke. At this moment, he heard the sound of water, followed by Feng Huaxian's voice, "Xiao Cui, has the hot water been brought?"
Baili Huangyi was taken aback, then a slight smile appeared on his lips as he walked into the room…
Xiao Cui returned with hot water and saw Wang Guozhong guarding the door. She immediately greeted him with a smile, saying, "You must be the Prince of Yan's personal guard, right? Since you're here, does that mean the Prince of Yan has returned?"
Wang Guozhong glanced at Xiao Cui, his expression serious, and remained silent. Seeing that Wang Guozhong ignored her, Xiao Cui said irritably, "You really are a blockhead..."
After saying that, she picked up the water and prepared to push the door open and go in, but Wang Guozhong quickly blocked the doorway and looked at her with a cold face.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Cui was furious when she almost got scalded by the hot water in the basin. "Are you trying to scald me to death?!"
“The Prince of Yan is inside. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter!” Wang Guozhong said coldly.
"Who's an outsider! You're a servant and I'm a servant too. You're serving Prince Yan personally, and I'm serving Sister Xian'er personally! Why won't you let me in? Why do you call me an outsider!" Xiao Cui said, and tried to force her way in.
Wang Guozhong stood blocking the entrance, his imposing presence commanding thousands, and coldly declared, "I said, the Prince of Yan is inside. No unauthorized personnel are allowed to enter!"
"You..." Xiao Cui stomped her feet in anger, about to say something, when she saw Ping'er walking over with fruit.
Ping'er reluctantly said, "Aunt Hua asked me to bring some fruit over!"
Wang Guozhong glanced at the grapes Ping'er was carrying, then looked Ping'er up and down a few times before stepping aside and saying, "Go in."
Ping'er pushed the door open and went inside, then closed it.
Xiao Cui, standing to the side, widened her eyes and pointed at the closed door, asking, "How come she can go in, but I can't?"
Wang Guozhong rolled his eyes at Xiao Cui and said irritably, "The Prince of Yan likes to eat grapes!"
Xiao Cui stormed off in a huff upon hearing this.
As soon as Ping'er entered the room, she heard Feng Huaxian scream, "Help! Help!"
Ping'er remained calm and composed, placing the grapes on the table and preparing to leave.
At this moment, Feng Huaxian ran out, her clothes disheveled. Seeing Ping'er, she rushed over, grabbed Ping'er's clothes, and cried, "Ping'er, Ping'er, please help me..."
Ping'er frowned as she watched Feng Huaxian's wet hands tugging at her clothes. She said coldly, "These are new clothes I just bought. Please let go and don't get my clothes dirty!"
