Time flies, and half a month has passed.
After visiting Gu Chaoxi, Lu Zhao disappeared for half a month after sending her a message.
That night, a few scattered stars dotted the inky black curtain of darkness, and the candlelight of a few lanterns in the courtyard flickered in the wind.
The entire Wutong Courtyard was completely silent.
A man in a black robe scaled the wall, accompanied by a cool night breeze.
When Xiangzhu, who was waiting outside the house, saw the person who came, she bowed respectfully. She wanted to report what had happened in the past two days, but then she thought that the young lady would probably tell the prince in private, so she kept quiet.
Lu Zhao swept into the room like a gust of wind.
Gu Chaoxi lay on the bed with his back to him.
"Xi'er, I'm back. Are you asleep so early?" Lu Zhao walked closer and saw Gu Chaoxi's big eyes wide open, looking sullen.

"What has happened these past few days? With me here, I will definitely protect you and the child. In Da Yu, who dares to snatch someone from my hands?"
Gu Chaoxi snorted, "That's not necessarily true. Do you know Zhao Mingxu?"
"The eldest son of the Duke of Zhao's family?"
Lu Zhao knew, of course, that this man was Xi'er's ex-fiancé.
Ha, I don't know what kind of luck he had to be Xi'er's fiancé for a while.
Lu Zhao felt a pang of jealousy.
Then, Gu Chaoxi briefly recounted what had happened in the past two days.
With Lu Zhao around, she didn't bother to deal with Zhao Mingxu.
