Gu Jinke looked at him. His face was still very pale, but his beautiful phoenix eyes were bright. Gu Jinke nodded: "Okay."
Li Yuxin smiled relaxedly. This was probably the happiest moment for him in the past two days.
"Your Highness is so nice." He sighed softly, with a smile in his eyes, but as he smiled, he couldn't help feeling lonely. It was a pity that such a nice prince was not his.
Gu Jinke was still waiting for him. He calmed down and said, "I know what Your Highness wants to say to me."
His hands unconsciously tugged at the quilt, and then kneaded it to create creases: "Your Highness, I understand your good intentions, but I also have my own feelings."
He raised his head and looked at Gu Jinke's eyes with affection: "I have made up my mind. I am willing to follow His Highness. If His Highness treats me without any feelings of a man, then I am willing to be a hidden dagger in His Highness's hand. Wherever the blade points, that is my future."
Gu Jinge frowned: "Li..."
"Your Highness, we have been together for so long, don't you still believe in my ability? I will not be influenced by any factors to question your Highness's orders, and I also... have no worries. Your Highness should also know that I have never been a well-behaved young master, and I can't do things like marrying wives and teaching daughters for others at home."
"Your Highness, why don't you help me?"
Gu Jinke fell silent. She looked at Li Yuxin in front of her and said, "You should have a good future instead of dealing with these dirty things in private."
Li Yuxin smiled and said, "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of fish?"
He didn't want to go anywhere except to His Highness, and he couldn't see a ray of hope anywhere else, so he wanted to stay with Gu Jinke. Gu Jinke was looking for someone to hire, so why didn't he stay? Moreover, having grown up with Li Qi, he was used to these things and would be able to handle them like a fish in water.
"Besides, I have discussed this with Josh."
He finally said that this should be Gu Jinke's last concern. No matter how much he said before, he knew Gu Jinke very well. If she was really sure of her feelings, he would really be silently alienated. Everything should be addressed not only for the symptoms but also for the root cause.
Now, Josh is that Ben.
Gu Jinke raised his eyebrows in surprise: "You and Qiao Xi have met?"
"Shh! Your Highness, this is a little secret between men, please don't ask about it." He raised an index finger, placed it in front of his slightly pale lips, and smiled playfully.
As for how he made it clear to Josh, he smiled and said: That's a secret.
Gu Jingke: ...
She originally wanted to say that it was useless to discuss with Qiao Xi, after all, his stay or departure was in the hands of Gu Jinke. However, at this time, Gu Jinke looked at his pale lips and said nothing.
However, she did not agree to Li Yuxin's proposal out of hand: "Wait for me to think about it!"
Li Yuxin is somewhat special to Gu Jinke. Gu Jinke is not sure whether it is a good idea to keep her by his side. After all, according to her original arrangement, she will eventually completely cut off contact with Li Yuxin.
Li Yuxin's eyes suddenly lit up with joy. It was good that he was willing to consider it. If he refused outright, there would be no hope at all.
She looked at Li Yuxin's pale face and said, "You should take good care of yourself first, and then we will return to Beijing."
Li Yuxin smiled with a little more vitality and energy on her face: "Thank you, Your Highness."
Gu Jinke looked at his completely different expressions and complexion, and rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
She didn't bother him any further and was going to talk to Qiao Xi, but Xun Ji came over to report, "Your Highness, Young Master Qiao has packed all his luggage and asked when he will leave."
Gu Jinke looked at the sky and said, "Tomorrow."
But I don’t know if I can return to the capital of Jin before the beginning of the new year?
She looked at Xun Ji: "Mr. Qiao asked you to come here, where are his people?"
Xun Ji was somewhat helpless: "Young Master said that he had never visited the Barbarian Kingdom before, so he would take advantage of the remaining time to learn more about it. If there is a suitable business, we can discuss it."
He is avoiding Gu Jinke again, making various excuses not to meet him alone. However, he will always be there in crowded places, and his eyes are always glued to Gu Jinke. He is so cunning.
If Gu Jinke didn't intend to force him to stay, he really wouldn't be able to catch him. She was so angry at his behavior that she laughed: "Why are you so cowardly at this time?"
Weren't you very bold and reckless when you confessed your feelings to her or wanted to kiss her directly?
Xun Ji was helpless in this matter and could only lower her head lower and lower. After all, as a messenger sandwiched between two people, she was under double pressure!
Look, here it comes.
Gu Jinke thought about it and was about to say something, but quickly turned his head away and gave up: "Then you can also help me convey a message to Mr. Qiao... Forget it, I won't do it."
Since Qiao Xi is determined to hide, let him hide for the last day. Why bother to provoke him today?
There is an old saying that goes, "You can escape the first day, but you can't escape the fifteenth." On the way back to Beijing tomorrow, she will see how this man escapes.
So when Qiao Xi saw Xun Ji again, he couldn't help but ask cautiously, "Your Highness, do you have any instructions today?"
Xun Ji just smiled euphemistically and said nothing, which meant there was no message left.
He lowered his eyes, his eyelashes trembled, and then he smiled. He thought he was very brave, and he never thought that one day he would become such a coward.
I suddenly understood the words in the Buddhist scriptures: "From love comes sorrow, and from love comes fear."
Gu Jinke met Qiao Xi again alone on the second day when he was on his way back to Beijing after making careful preparations.
At that time, Josh was sitting in his own carriage, holding a newly acquired book and reading it eagerly.
Gu Jinke suddenly opened the carriage door and flashed in. Qiao Xi's eyes widened, and he felt a gust of wind rushing in. Gu Jinke's figure appeared in the carriage. He suddenly widened his eyes, but controlled his voice very low: "Your Highness!"
Gu Jinke raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you shout louder?"
Qiao Xi did not reply to her, but asked her: "Why is Your Highness here?"
"If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain." Gu Jinke poured himself a cup of tea, then touched the teacup in front of Qiao Xi, which was already cold, so he poured him another cup and gently handed it to him.
Qiao Xi was a little stunned, but he was a smart man after all. He had seen Gu Jinke's actions these days and had a new guess. It was just that the guess was too good to be true for him, so he couldn't believe it. He was unwilling and didn't dare to pursue the answer for fear of being disappointed, but now Gu Jinke was in his carriage.
He clenched the book in his hand, exerting a little force to control some of his impulses.
But Gu Jinke's words, "If the mountain doesn't come to me, I will go to the mountain." made him unable to suppress his impulses, because this sentence was originally Qiao Xi's previous thought. But now, the roles were reversed, and Gu Jinke said such words to him. Qiao Xi thought that he still couldn't control his impulse, and the eagerness in his courage emerged again.
He seemed like a crazy gambler, holding a very small chip in his hand. If he lost, his only chip and hope would be gone. If he won, all the chips on the field would belong to him, and his wish would soon come true. At this time, should he place a bet?
One of his hands was tightly holding the book, and the other hand was raised to take the teacup handed to him by Gu Jinke.
The teacup was warm and very comfortable. He looked up and saw Gu Jinke's eyes were slightly curved, his pupils were clear and bright, he raised a cup of tea to him, and then drank it, which was the look he admired the most.
He also drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, but it was as if he had drunk a glass of good wine, and his face instantly turned red. Then he put his hand holding the book around Gu Jinke's neck, stood up and leaned forward to kiss her.
The two of them had just drank a cup of tea together, and the sweetness and fragrance of the tea surrounded their lips and teeth. They had the same roots and were originally forced to separate, but now they were entangled with each other and very close.
After a long time, the fragrance and sweetness slowly separated, and the lips of both people were shiny and very tempting. Gu Jinke had already pulled the person into his arms without him noticing at some point, the two of them were resting their foreheads against each other, breathing softly.
After a while, Qiao Xi, who was hugging Gu Jinke's neck, laughed foolishly and muttered vaguely, "I won the bet."
Gu Jinke tilted his head, she didn't hear clearly, so she asked: "What did you say?"
"Well, Your Highness, I want to do it again, can I?" There was excitement in his eyes, and he was eager to try.
Before, in the Barbarian King’s bath, he was worried about detoxifying Gu Jinke, and he was also restless. Although it was also an experience, it was not as sweet as it is now.
I was a little hasty in my attempt just now, and haven’t savored it carefully yet. Now, I can calm down and enjoy it slowly.
Gu Jinke laughed and put the tea he was pouring for him down. Then she tilted her head slightly and bit his lips. The two of them entangled with each other, and when they separated, a silver thread was left. Qiao Xi's face was red, and his breathing was rapid, but his eyes were brighter, and he seemed eager to try, but also unwilling.
"Your Highness, come again!" he pursed his lips.
Gu Jinke burst out laughing, then looked at the young master's red cheeks and the unwillingness between his brows, and asked, "Are you sure? Otherwise, why don't you learn how to breathe first?"
Qiao Xi showed stubbornness on his face: "I just haven't mastered the essentials yet. After a few more times, I will be very good at it!"
He also felt that something was abnormal. He was so talented and intelligent, how could he make Gu Jinke look down on him so much when it came to kissing!
As long as he practices more, he will definitely be able to redeem himself!
Gu Jinke couldn't help but tilt his head and smile, his beautiful phoenix eyes were filled with tiny smiles. First, she didn't expect that the usually calm and strategic Master Qiao could be so childish and competitive. Second, she finally understood what it meant to be "both green and playful", such as Master Qiao Xi who wanted to kiss her now.
Qiao Xi's ears turned red, but he would not admit defeat: "The ancients said that if you read a book a hundred times, its meaning will become clear, and if you understand it once, you will understand a hundred things. This is also the case!"
Gu Jinke nodded: "Well, you are right, let's try again, don't push me later."
Qiao Xi swallowed, his eyes fell on Gu Jinke's rosy lips, a dark light flashed in his beautiful eyes: "No."
Because I can't bear to do so.
As he thought about this, he got closer to Gu Jinke. On the way back to the capital, he heard two short whispers in the carriage, followed by some ambiguous breathing sounds.
The air seemed to be warmer and sweeter.
The capital of Jin State was completely the opposite, making people feel even colder and colder.
Fang Rui patted the Empress' back again to help her regulate her qi and spirit. The thinness of the back under her palms occasionally made Fang Rui jump with fear. She accompanied the Empress every day, and she suddenly realized that Her Majesty had become so thin.
The little servant she trained knelt at the empress's feet, holding a spittoon. The Queen finally calmed down her cough, rinsed her mouth, and asked, "Princess, where did she go? Did she favor the son of the Qiao family?"
