"Waaah..."
"How could this happen? How could they be so wicked... How awful..."
"..."
After crying for a while, the boiling point of the stove rose again, and Qi Qi was speechless again, clinging to the popsicle like an octopus.
The popsicle struggled again, but thankfully the struggle was much smaller, and Qi Qi's little stove seized the opportunity to take a bite.
It's ice-cold.
Stimulate.
handy.
The popsicle stopped moving.
Qi Qi smacked her lips, tilted her head back, and stared at the popsicle with blurry eyes, but no matter how hard she tried, her eyes were still full of tears, and she couldn't see anything: "Why, why isn't it sweet..."
"Add some sugar, damn it..."
Qi Qi didn't mind and reluctantly ate it.
It's infuriating! This popsicle melts so fast it's turned into a furnace. This furnace is finally being offered to my lips, but Qi Qi is inexplicably even more excited.
After some commotion, I heard voices in my ear, and a little while later, I was given a pill.
...
What would it feel like to wake up and find a cold-faced god sitting next to your bed?
Qi Qi was startled and was about to jump up when his back went limp and he slumped back down: "Hiss..."
Gu Siyan helped her up and withdrew his hand: "Do you remember who drugged you last night?"
Qi Qi: "Ah, ah? General, did you bring me back?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Siyan's face twisted in pain, as if he wanted to turn around and leave but forcibly restrained himself from staying: "...Hmm."
Qi Qi realized what had happened with the popsicle last night, glanced at him cautiously, and felt a wave of fear wash over her. Thank goodness, thank goodness she hadn't actually slept with him! She'd just pretend she didn't know anything!
Gu Siyan, ha, look at your thick eyebrows and big eyes, I never expected this! Not only did you not refuse my kiss, but you even took the initiative to kiss me later!
"I can't remember that, I was knocked unconscious... How did the general find me?"
"You really don't remember?"
Qi Qi: "I really don't remember."
Gu Siyan said, "My men were knocked unconscious last night. When they woke up, they found you lying unconscious beside them, looking very strange. I guessed you had been poisoned, so I said goodbye to Lord Wu and took you back to the restaurant to find Mr. An to detoxify you."
Qi Qi: "They probably didn't intend to rape me, otherwise they wouldn't have left me there. This person is really shameless. They could have just knocked me out, why drug me instead! I'm afraid they're trying to attract Lord Wu's attention. If something happens to me... could this plan be aimed at you? Trying to create conflict between you and Lord Wu?"
Gu Siyan's face showed a hint of anger as he said, "We can't rule out that possibility. This person's methods are too crude. If they really had this idea, you wouldn't have been by the rockery when we found you."
Qi Qi: "..."
Gu Siyan said, "You don't need to worry about these things. Just take good care of yourself." He got up and walked outside, wanting to ask if Qi Laibao remembered what happened last night. But seeing Qi Laibao's silent and flushed face, he knew that Qi Laibao remembered.
Thinking of this, Gu Siyan's steps as he went out were unconsciously tinged with a hint of panic.
No, no, it shouldn't be like this, it was just... an accident.
A flushed, wet little face would reappear in his mind, and Gu Siyan's thoughts drifted back to last night.
Could it be that Lai Bao was right before, that men really are driven by their lower instincts? Even I am... But I clearly treat Lai Bao like a younger brother, so why do I have no self-control when this happens?
Gu Siyan didn't dare to face Qi Qi for a moment and didn't come to talk to Qi Qi for a whole day. In the evening, Lord Wu's carriage arrived as promised.
This man has a firm grip on the city defense map, and Gu Siyan is not planning to touch him for the time being. He intends to use him to distract the court, so even the rabble of Sifang City cannot be destroyed for the time being.
This Lord Wu doesn't seem to be brainless; at least he's not purely corrupted by wine, women, and money. Gu Siyan went with Mr. Gao today, and the restaurant is full of his people, including many highly skilled martial artists. Therefore, Gu Siyan feels relatively at ease.
So he didn't know that shortly after the carriage left, someone rushed in to "peep into his boudoir at night."
Seeing someone jump up to the window so easily, Qi Qi quickly peered down and exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, they just climbed up a four- or five-meter-high building like that?"
Huangfu Yi closed the window tightly, turned around and hugged Qi Qi tightly, lowering his head to press his cheek against Qi Qi's: "Is the poison gone? Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable in your body?"
Qi Qi: "Keep your voice down! How dare you say that? I've never seen anyone with poison and no antidote. You'd be happy if I exploded."
Huangfu Yi said guiltily, "It's my fault, it's all my fault. I'll take whatever you hit or scold me for."
Qi Qi didn't want to repeat things like "you're cold-hearted," "you're ruthless," or "you're being unreasonable": "...What are you doing in Sifang City?"
“I was searching for you along Qinghai Road and the trails of those river bandits, but I didn’t expect that the fourth brother was suddenly killed a few days ago. I originally wanted to stay in Qinghai Road, but then my father suddenly ordered me to come to Sifang City to suppress the bandits. I’ve now found an opportunity to enter the city lord’s mansion and plan to seize the city defense map first.”
Fortunately, it was found again.
Qi Qi asked bluntly, "You didn't kill the Fourth Prince?"
Huangfu Yi paused.
"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you, it really is me."
As Huangfu Yi spoke, he stared into Qi Qi's eyes again, as he always did. But no matter how he looked, he never saw a trace of fear in Qi Qi's eyes.
Instead, Qi Qi said, "You're something else. You've disliked that guy for a long time. Over the years, besides the Ninth Prince, he's caused you no shortage of trouble, hasn't he?"
Huangfu Yi exclaimed in astonishment, "I killed my brother!"
Qi Qi was amused by him: "You really are quite scary. Are you saying that on purpose to scare me?"
