Hard talk

"I've already said it has nothing to do with me!" Fang Ziweng used his hands and feet to try to break free from Gu Ji's restraints: "How can you so easily accuse a child?"

He simply knocked on the door and when no one answered, he sneaked in to see the two cats as he did in the past. He never expected that the man in black would suspect that he had something to do with the note.

Gu Ji turned a deaf ear to his explanation and grabbed the back of his collar without questioning: "Behave yourself!" He exerted half of his strength and slapped the twisting child: "Come with me to see my master!"

Of course he could tell that the boy had nothing to do with the arrow, but his inexplicable appearance in Miss Mu's house was indeed somewhat suspicious.

Fang Ziweng covered his burning buttocks and said aggrievedly, "Hey! Why did you hit me? I'll just go with you!"

He was really unlucky today. Not only did the cat not see him, but he was also caught by a weirdo.

His pair of big dark eyes rolled around, and a hint of vigilance appeared on his round little face.

How could there be such a strange person in Sister An Ning's house?

Gu Ji ignored Fang Ziweng and walked with big strides like a meteor from the garden to the west wing in just a moment.

He removed the arrow and the note from the door frame, then turned to look inside the house, pausing slightly.

The door was open, and he could see Gu Huaizhi, dressed in an elegant green robe, standing in front of the window, staring at the sachet in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.

He always looked carefree and unrestrained in the past, but now he looked like a sentimental and elegant poet.

I have to say that Miss Mu has a really good eye for choosing clothes.

While Gu Ji was marveling at the move, Fang Ziweng slipped out from the big hand as nimbly as a loach.

He had just taken two steps forward and turned to run when he heard a voice say, "Stop!"

He paused for a moment and pretended to obey, but in the next moment, he disappeared in a flash.

If you don't run now, when will you run?

He had just secretly glanced at the young master the man was talking about. Although he was dressed in a righteous manner, he was definitely not a good person since he was acquainted with this powerful man in black.

If the two of them bully him together, he would be in danger of death.

No matter how fast his short legs were, his stature was only half the height of an adult. He had not run a few steps before he was pulled back by Gu Ji.

Gu Ji stopped him in front of the door and said in a fierce tone: "If you run again, I will break your legs!"

Fang Ziweng was unable to move and could only lower his head, his face full of grievance.

Gu Huaizhi had long been awakened by the noise. He put away the sachet in his hand and walked out, with an indescribable gloom floating between his brows: "Gu Ji."

Upon hearing the voice, Gu Ji quickly bowed and said, "Sir."

He raised his head and took a peek, and saw that there were two faint dark circles under the young man's peach blossom eyes.

A sense of curiosity arose in his heart, and he secretly wondered whether the young master had not slept all night.

Recalling the scene of him and Miss Mu parting on bad terms yesterday, he suddenly felt as if he had discovered something extraordinary.

Gu Huaizhi frowned and looked at the strange child: "Where did this child come from?"

Gu Ji came back to his senses from his torrent of thoughts and replied, "Sir, I just saw this sneaky kid in the garden and brought him here for you to deal with."

Fang Ziweng, who was standing by, heard Gu Ji say that and immediately explained unhappily, "I'm here to look for Sister An Ning!"

When he finished speaking, he raised his head high and looked directly at the two men, with an expression that showed that he would rather die than be humiliated.

Hearing those two words, Gu Huaizhi's originally tired expression changed slightly. He leaned against the door and folded his arms, looking down at him: "What do you want to see her for?"

Seeing Fang Ziweng didn't say anything, Gu Ji patted his head lightly and said, "Speak!"

Fang Ziweng covered his head and hesitated for a long time before he reluctantly said, "...Sister An Ning has agreed with my cousin to teach me my lessons!"

Although he came here just to see the Black and White Impermanence, he somehow felt that he shouldn't answer like that.

Cousin?

Gu Huaizhi's mind suddenly flashed back to the conversation between Mu An Ning and Qiao Qingsheng that day, and he thought that his cousin was the scholar.

He clenched his fists unconsciously and said in a calm tone: "You are late, she is not here."

She left the house this morning and ordered Baoqin to give all the prescriptions to Gu Ji, making it clear that she didn't want to care about him anymore.

Although his injuries had almost healed, he still felt a little depressed.

He rushed to Wutong City overnight because he was afraid that she would be killed, and she treated him like this?

Gu Ji added, "Sir, Baoqin told my subordinates that they will be back around noon."

Gu Huaizhi glared at Gu Ji, a hint of anger on his face: "What does this have to do with me!"

He didn't want to know.

Gu Ji whispered: "Isn't this child looking for a girl? Besides, don't you want to..."

...see her.

He swallowed the last two words when he saw his master's cold face.

The young master's face sometimes turned cold, which was indeed a little scary.

Fang Ziweng frowned and said to Gu Ji who was holding him down, "Hey, can you let me go now?"

Gu Ji reluctantly let go of his hand: "Just stay aside."

This naughty boy was squatting in the grass before, doing nothing, and it did not occur to him that he knew Miss Mu.

After Fang Ziweng ran away, Gu Ji said with courage: "Sir, if you feel that you have hurt Miss An Ning, just apologize to her..."

He really couldn't bear to see his young master being so lazy. He was clearly very concerned, but if he said it out loud it would be like costing him half his life.

Gu Huaizhi glanced at him and seemed to hear a very ridiculous sentence: "What does this prince want to apologize for?"

Why should he apologize?

He just said that he wouldn't like her, but the engagement was made and they would get married one day or another.

Gu Ji sighed inwardly.

Indeed, as the prince's only son, he has never apologized to anyone in his life, and it is estimated that he will never bow to anyone in the future.

The atmosphere was silent for a while. Gu Ji could only cough dryly and took out the note from his sleeve: "Sir, someone shot this thing on the door frame." He stretched out his hand: "Sir, take a look."

Gu Huaizhi slowly unfolded it, his expression changed: "Can you see who did it?"

Gu Ji shook his head.

The moment the arrow flew across the sky, he almost immediately chased after it, but apart from the child, he didn't see anyone else.

Seeing Gu Huaizhi's expression change, Gu Ji asked in confusion: "Sir, what does it say?"

Gu Huaizhi threw the paper ball into his arms again, and saw eight big characters written on it in strong and powerful handwriting: He has not returned for three days, and the King of Anqing has passed away.

Among them, the word "pass away" is quite conspicuous.

Gu Ji's eyes widened slightly, and he subconsciously guessed: "Could it be the third prince?"

As soon as he spoke, he realized that he had said something wrong and kept silent.

Even if the Third Prince and the Young Master do not get along, the Prince is still his uncle.

No matter what, he shouldn't use the prince's life to threaten the prince.

Gu Huaizhi didn't react much, just frowned, thinking of the assassin who had tried to assassinate him before and said that Mu An Ning would be killed.

He was originally convinced that the person was sent by his cousin, but during these days in Wutong City, he did not notice anything unusual.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Gu Ji was a little unsure of his thoughts, so he asked tentatively, "Sir, do you want to leave and return home immediately?"

*

Ming Wah Court.

Qiu Yueying was stunned for a moment when she heard the word "red entanglement", then she opened her red lips and said, "Little girl, where did you hear that?"

Mu An Ning caught a glimpse of her teasing expression and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. He said with a hint of doubt: "I've seen it...in a book."

It was just some medical books, but seeing Qiu Yueying's smile getting wider, she couldn't help but lower her head slightly, as if she had done something shameful.

She admitted that the medical book was indeed a bit strange. It talked about all kinds of strange things, even...things about sex.

Mu Guiling frowned and looked at the two people who were talking in riddles, then glanced at the powder in Qiu Yueying's hand: "Red Tangchi?"

Feeling her brother's gaze on her, Mu An Ning pursed her lips and did not answer.

She looked tentatively at Qiu Yueying, who was obviously familiar with this thing, as if seeking help.

Qiu Yueying raised her slender eyebrows slightly and gave Mu Anning a soothing look. Then she curled her red lips slightly and said in a soft and suggestive voice, "Master Mu, do you want to know?"

Mu Guiling met those seductive eyes, his throat tightened slightly, and then he nodded lightly.

Qiu Yueying liked to see him like this the most, and smiled coquettishly: "Master Mu, please be careful." She rewrapped the powder and gently placed it on the table: "You men cannot smell this."

She looked into the eyes of Mu Guiling and Mu Wan'er one by one, and said charmingly, "If a man smells it, he will think about doing that kind of thing day and night."

The topic was not stated explicitly, but it was already very obvious.

Mu Guiling's face showed no sign of abnormality, as if he had not reacted at all. However, Mu Wan'er's eyes lit up, as if she had discovered something amazing: "So this is an aphrodisiac?"

The book describes that the first night of these two people was so long lasting because of the medicine from Liang State...

Seeing Qiu Yueying nodded, Mu Guiling's face froze. He glanced at Mu Wan'er and then looked at Mu Anning, who was looking at her with his eyes and nose.

Mu Wan'er is fine, but how come Mu An Ning has become so "informed and knowledgeable"?

Immediately, he frowned, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He had smelled this powder before and had consulted many doctors for identification. How come they were all safe and sound?

Qiu Yueying seemed to see what he was thinking, and smiled again: "Don't worry, Master Mu." She touched the paper bag with her fingertips: "It will only work after drinking some wine and adding a little fishy smell."

Her tone was playful and cheerful, and no one could tell that she was feeling a little uneasy.

There are only a handful of people in Daliang who can make this medicine.

The confusion was solved, Mu Guiling's ears turned slightly red, and he coughed lightly: "So this thing is yours?"

Qiu Yueying curled her red lips, as if she was a little aggrieved: "Master Mu, please don't wrongly accuse me."

Mu Guiling did not refute and said calmly: "That is the person in your Zuiyue Tower."

Qiu Yueying's aggrieved expression gradually subsided, and she said unhappily, "You still doubt me?" Her tone became lighter, "Everyone in my Zuiyue Tower is innocent."

As the two of them confronted each other as if no one was around, the door of the private room was slowly pushed open.

Instantly, Mu Wan'er's deafening voice echoed in Mu An Ning's ears——

【Am I seeing this correctly? 】

【Why is this beautiful, strong and ruthless villain here? 】
