Chapter 294 I want to give you something. What a coincidence, me too.
Guo Licheng stood up and left the table, but did not go directly to the main entrance. Instead, he turned to the corridor on the other side.
"Mr. Qiao?" Guo Licheng walked closer and bowed slightly.
Qiao Jibai said in a gentle voice: "You are Miss Guo."
Guo Licheng was a little surprised, "Mr. Qiao recognized me?"
"You and Wanyan are friends. Although we haven't greeted each other directly, I remember you."
Guo Licheng raised his lips and smiled, "Please remember me, Mr. Qiao. I just happen to have something I want to ask you. I wonder if you are free."
"You say so."
Guo Licheng said, "I want to go to the residence of Dr. Zhou, but I don't know where Dr. Zhou lives. I wonder if Mr. Qiao knows. If he does, can he show me the way?"
She added, "This is an urgent matter. The Second Miss is still waiting for me. I don't want to waste time looking for her randomly. If Mr. Qiao doesn't know, I'll ask someone else."
Qiao Jibai's expression changed slightly, "Wan Yan is waiting for you? Is she feeling unwell?"
Guo Licheng shook his head, "That's not the case. It's really, really..."
She found it difficult to speak and didn't know whether she should tell him at this moment, but she saw Qiao Jibai speaking.
"If it's inconvenient to tell me, don't be embarrassed. But please tell me, Miss Guo, has something happened to Wanyan?" Qiao Jibai's tone was solemn, and there was even a hint of questioning on his gentle face.
Guo Licheng said, "It's not that it's inconvenient to talk about it. I heard from a maid in the residence of the Imperial Physician Zhou that Master Li from the General Zhongwu's residence pushed Miss Qiao off the cliff. The prince has already left the city and headed towards the cliff, but there's no way of knowing whether this is true or not."
"The Second Miss originally wanted to go to the residence of the Imperial Physician Zhou to see if Miss Qiao was there, and if she wasn't, she would quickly inform the Minister. But I saw that the Second Miss was too worried and I was worried about her, so I thought of going there myself, so that the Second Miss wouldn't get hurt because of being too anxious now."
Qiao Jibai's eyes shone, "I'll just go for a walk, you go back and accompany Wanyan."
Guo Licheng shook his head. "The Second Miss is accompanied by the Tenth Princess and Yaoyao. If Master Qiao doesn't mind, can I follow Master Qiao? When I hear the news, I will quickly tell the Second Miss to reassure her. Can you please tell the Minister?"
Qiao Jibai's eyes moved slightly and he nodded, "Then let's go together, this will save time."
In the carriage, Qiao Jibai sat near the door.
Guo Licheng secretly looked at his profile, sitting upright with his eyes closed and taking a nap, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart at the moment.
It was the first time that Guo Licheng was alone with a man in a closed space. She felt her heart pounding, not knowing whether it was because of nervousness or something else.
Mr. Qiao is very handsome and he passed the imperial examination again this year. He is an extremely rare gifted person in the entire Dayu.
It would have been nice if I had had some contact with Mr. Qiao before he passed the imperial examination.
"Don't worry, Mr. Qiao. Maybe that maid is just talking nonsense. Miss Qiao will be safe and sound."
Qiao Jibai slowly opened his eyes and looked at her, nodding slightly, "Thank you for your kind words, Miss Guo."
The carriage slowly stopped in front of Dr. Zhou's residence. Qiao Jibai got off the carriage first. When Guo Licheng was about to get off the carriage, he accidentally lost his balance and stumbled on the last step.
Qiao Jibai turned sideways to face her, looking at the closed door of Doctor Zhou's hospital. From the corner of his eye he saw Guo Licheng's staggering body but he did not reach out to support her.
Only after Guo Licheng stood firm did he ask in surprise, "Miss Guo, are you okay?"
Guo Licheng was a little embarrassed. "Nothing, nothing. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Qiao."
The banquet began, and delicious dishes were brought to the table one after another.
Yun Yao doesn't take life and death that seriously. Influenced by Yun Heng, in her eyes, everyone will die, and birth, aging, sickness and death are normal things.
So at the whole table, she was the only one who was eating seriously.
Eat a piece of cherry meat, a big pork elbow, and then have a sip of sweet soup to ensure you won't choke.
In the distance, Chen Che came over here with a wine pot in his hand, "Do you think the meal is okay? Why is it that no one except that little kid is eating? Do you think it's too bad to eat?"
Jiang Qiyun wanted to say something that the food was too bad, but when he remembered that the chef for the birthday banquet was borrowed from the Jing'an Marquis Mansion, he couldn't say anything.
"The banquet is of course excellent, but your wine is so bad that it is totally unpalatable. Drinking this kind of wine is like drinking swill!"
Chen Che's face was calm without any ripples, "You know so much, have you ever drunk swill?"
Jiang Qiyun: “….”
"Young Master, I think you are a jerk. You have only drunk swill. Your whole family has drunk swill!"
Shen Che was too lazy to pay attention to him. Now he was more annoyed to see him than to see Xu Shujian.
I thought since Xu Shujian was not invited to the table today, he would definitely have a happy birthday party, but I didn't expect that an even more annoying person would show up halfway.
Why didn't they just cut him into pieces and throw him into the back hill at Shanglin Paddock that day?
It was really easy for him to be stripped naked and hung on a high shelf!
Chen Che picked up the wine pot and poured a glass of wine for Qiao Wanyan, "Since this wine is not good, why don't you try our Xiling's aged wine? It's not easy to get drunk and the taste is also the best of the best."
Qiao Wanyan picked up the wine and looked at the clear water in the glass. She could smell a unique aroma of wine before she drank it.
There is also a faint, sweet smell.
She stood up with the wine in her hand, and picked up the wine glass next to her that Guo Licheng had not used before, "I will naturally offer a toast to the prince on his birthday banquet. Since I am toasting you, you should drink it as well."
Chen Che shook the wine pot in his hand slowly and leisurely, "I just poured this pot of wine for several guests and there is no wine left, but what the Second Miss said makes sense. There is no reason for me not to drink the Second Miss's toast."
He naturally picked up the jug of wine on the table and filled the empty glass. Then he took the glass of wine, clinked it with hers, and drank it all in one gulp.
Chen Che turned the wine glass over to the ground, indicating that he had finished drinking it. Looking at Qiao Wanyan's expression, he smiled and said, "Second Miss, please."
Qiao Wanyan also smiled with great satisfaction and drank the wine in the glass as well.
Chen Che asked, "What does Second Miss think of this wine?"
Qiao Wanyan raised her lips and said, "It's delicious. What do you think of the wine, my lord?"
A hint of joy appeared in his cold jade-like eyes. "Nectar."
As soon as the words fell, the smile on Shen Che's mouth froze.
Almost in an instant, my legs seemed to have no strength to support me. If I hadn't held on to the back of the chair next to me, I would have almost fallen down.
Then, a tingling feeling came over me.
It felt like there were ants crawling between his bones, making his scalp numb with itchiness.
Qiao Wanyan chuckled and pretended to be confused, saying, "My Lord, what happened?"
The feeling of powerlessness was too strong, and even if Shen Che gritted his teeth, he still couldn't stop it. His legs softened, and he knelt on the ground, holding the back of the chair tightly with one hand, looking up at the smiling woman with a bit of surprise.
Qiao Wanyan tilted her head slightly and was about to say something when her vision suddenly went dark.
