The moment he heard the noise, Gu Changsu instinctively straightened up and turned his head to the side.
"Third, Third Prince!?"
As soon as Wang Xu opened his eyes, he saw Gu Changsu lying on him. Now Gu Changsu stood up and stood to one side. He was still lying on the ground and did not dare to get up.
He stared at Gu Changsu in shock and fear, his stomach churning and he almost couldn't hold back his dry heaves.
He was actually kissed by a man!
Gu Changsu felt so disgusted that he didn't want to look at him. He stood up with a green face and flicked the dust off his clothes. He wanted to say something, but was afraid of vomiting, so he just stood there stiffly.
"Master Wang!" The servant fell to his knees with a thud and said in panic, "Since Master Wang is fine, I beg you to clear my Highness and me!"
Wang Xu was still immersed in the disgust of being kissed by the Third Prince. He was trembling with fear and was stunned when he heard these words out of the blue.
——What innocence?
"You fainted on the side of the road, and it was my prince who saved you."
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Changsu suppressed his nausea and asked, "What's going on?"
"I..." Young Master Wang looked over hesitantly. He just drank some wine and had a deep conversation with Hua Niang, but he didn't expect that he felt depressed and uncomfortable in his heart.
I thought I had played too much recently and planned to go back home to rest, but who knew I would fall down halfway? And I was kissed by a man!
Wang Xu looked embarrassed. He glanced around and saw many young men he had interacted with before mixed in the crowd watching the fun.
If he tells the truth, will he still need to stay in Beijing in the future?
The servant was smart and asked, "Why did you suddenly fall on the road?"
Wang Xu stammered, "I... I don't know either. I just felt a palpitation and felt uncomfortable, and suddenly I fainted..."
He gritted his teeth, forced himself to stand up, and thanked respectfully.
"Thank you for saving my life, Your Highness."
But saving people is one thing, but why kiss him? Wang Xu thought angrily, if he wasn't a prince, he would have asked someone to break his third leg!
After hearing what Wang Xu said, Gu Changsu's expression improved. At least after this incident, the Minister of War owed him a huge favor.
He brushed his sleeves and didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "Ask a doctor when you get back. Is there any hidden illness?"
"Yes." Wang Xu said hurriedly, but muttered with disdain in his heart.
——You say it!
Hua Yuanzhao took a breath and advised: "You already had a heart disease, and you indulged in lust after drinking too much, which led to your sudden death. Be more restrained in the future and pay attention to your health..."
Before she could finish her words, Wang Xu interrupted her: "You're talking nonsense!"
Wang Xu was embarrassed and annoyed. What was lustful? Didn't it just say that he almost died in a woman's belly when he visited a brothel?
He could still pretend to be respectful to Gu Changsu, but when he turned to look at Hua Yuanzhao, he acted like a boss.
"I just had a few drinks with some friends! Stop slandering me!"
Hua Yuanzhao rolled his eyes and packed his things without saying a word.
After coming to this unfortunate world, the first thing she learned was to stay out of other people's business! Saving people was her occupational disease, but as for what happened next, let's just treat it as life and death!
She didn't say anything, but the people watching nearby were not happy.
Among the onlookers there were some people whose status and position were not inferior to that of the Shangshu's son. They were not afraid of him at all and immediately spoke up for him.
"If it weren't for this fat doctor, you would have died long ago! Just listen to some advice!"
"That's right! The fat doctor finally pulled you back from the brink of death!"
"It's not shameful to almost die in a woman's belly! Why should I be afraid to admit it!"
"To die under the peony flowers is also romantic!"
Hua Yuanzhao's eyelids twitched when he heard this, and he glared angrily at the group of people who spoke for her.
——Why do you have to add the word "fat"!
Gu Changsu couldn't bear to look directly at him, so he just turned his head to look at Gu Changyan who was about to slip away, and asked with a fake smile: "Where are you going, Second Brother?"
Gu Changyan's face was tense, and he said seriously: "Brother, I have something else to do..."
"Second brother is really a busy man." Gu Changsu said sarcastically: "Just now you said that I was the one who ordered the murder, but now that the truth is out, you want to just walk away?"
He still felt sick, and in anger he no longer pretended to be gentle and just questioned Gu Changyan.
As they were talking, the bailiffs from the Dali Temple had received the report and rushed over, surrounding the place.
Gu Changyan's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot. He glared at Hua Yuanzhao fiercely, then gritted his teeth and pointed at the man next to him.
"It was because of his testimony that I misunderstood my third brother."
The man was jumping up and down happily when he accused the servant of murder just now, but now he was trembling like a sieve and looked at the servant timidly.
"I was also mistaken. That's why I mistakenly thought that this little brother had killed someone."
The servant stiffened his neck and cursed: "What do you mean by misread? I think you were instructed by someone to deliberately slander me!"
"I didn't!" The man gritted his teeth and cried out: "I am innocent! I just saw it wrong!"
The servant turned away and complained to the Third Prince: "Your Highness! It doesn't matter that I was wrongly accused, but he almost ruined your reputation!"
Gu Changsu's eyes flashed, and his expression darkened even more.
He glanced at Gu Changyan, then ordered in a deep voice: "Come here, take him away and retrial later!"
"Your Highness!" The man's face suddenly changed, and he said hurriedly: "I was just dazzled and saw it wrong! I have no crime! Why are you arresting me!"
Gu Changsu laughed. He looked at Gu Changyan steadily and said word by word, "Picking quarrels and provoking trouble, inciting the royal brothers to fight, are these crimes enough?"
The man's blood ran cold. Not to mention the crime of causing trouble, but with this latter charge alone, does he have any chance of survival?
"Your Highness!" The man subconsciously looked at Gu Changyan and urgently asked for help: "Your Highness, help me!"
Gu Changyan remained expressionless as he watched the man being dragged away before he gritted his teeth and said the word "OK".
He glared at Hua Yuanzhao who had ruined his plan, then flicked his sleeves and strode away.
The bailiffs dispersed the crowd, and Hua Yuanzhao turned around to leave, but was suddenly stopped by someone.
Gu Changsu took two or three steps forward, frowned and asked, "Why are you here? And dressed like this?"
Could it be that, like before, she deliberately inquired about his whereabouts and secretly followed him just to take a look at him?
Thinking of this, Gu Changsu's expression softened a little. He knew that what she said in Kunning Palace that day was just an angry remark!
It turned out that she still loved him, otherwise why would she save him from danger?
Hua Yuanzhao rolled his eyes and asked unhappily, "What does it have to do with you? This street belongs to you. What are you doing here?"
"I came here just to pick a birthday gift for Changle. Changle's birthday will be in a few days." Gu Changsu continued.
