The library contains almost all the classics of Dayong and various countries, as well as many original manuscripts from past dynasties. There are many bookshelves in the library, and it is very quiet on weekdays.
After listening to the emperor's questions with a feeling of being on pins and needles, Huo Wuyou hurried here and searched everywhere before he finally heard a faint voice in one of the libraries.
He slowed down his pace, and his feet, which had been trained in light martial arts, landed almost silently. Under the cover of the bookshelf, he quietly approached the source of the sound.
Sure enough, he saw Gu Shichong's back, and he seemed to be talking to someone at the moment.
The other person was a woman, dressed in the clothes of a palace maid. Although she was a little far away and looked blurry, Huo Wuyou would never mistake her for someone else.
For a moment, he almost couldn't control himself and wanted to punch the bookshelf and then rush up to beat Gu Shichong up.
He saw Xue Zhiyi talking to Gu Shichong at the moment. This place was rarely visited by people. They had come here to meet secretly, away from the public. Gu Shichong had always coveted her...
Huo Wuyou's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he could only repeatedly remind himself in his heart: Zhiyi must have her reasons for doing this, and she must not be ruined. Control yourself, control yourself...
But this is too close!
Zhiyi even laughed!
Her smile was truly heart-warming, but... what was so funny about her and Gu Shichong!
Huo Wuyou was so annoyed that he almost banged his head against the wall.
He squatted quietly at the window until Gu Shichong left, watching Gu Shichong's back as he left. He casually broke off a branch by the window, moved his fingertips, and hit Gu Shichong's knee firmly, causing him to fall to the ground.
Although it is not enough to relieve my anger, at least I feel a little better.
But Xue Zhiyi's voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "Marquis Lin'an is so boring."
Huo Wuyou turned around and saw Xue Zhiyi looking at him as if he was looking at a three-year-old naughty boy.
Still sulking with anger, he strode forward with his arms folded, saying sinisterly, "Why? Can't I hit him?"
He walked up to Xue Zhiyi. The distance between the bookshelves was not big. He just turned sideways and almost put Xue Zhiyi between him and the bookshelf, with nowhere to go.
He sighed and tilted his head to look at Xue Zhiyi in front of him: "I don't know who it is, but he said he had something to tell me and asked me to meet him at the library, but he also asked another man to meet him at the same time."
He raised his hand and poked Xue Zhiyi's head: "Even if we want to meet in private, isn't three people a bit too crowded?"
It was obvious that he was full of jealousy, but in front of Xue Zhiyi, he was like a sour fruit, without any momentum at all.
Huo Wuyou was feeling annoyed when he heard Xue Zhiyi say, "I have something else to do later. Coincidentally, I have something to discuss with you both. To save trouble, let's just meet at the library. Don't worry, I've calculated the time. By the time I finish talking to Gu Shichong, you should be here too."
Hearing this, Huo Wuyou almost gasped and almost laughed himself out of anger: "No, is it so blatant? Can you at least hide it from me?"
Xue Zhiyi looked at him with a puzzled expression: "What are you hiding? I was just about to tell you what Gu Shichong said to me."
Huo Wuyou snorted and laughed out of anger: "You said you laughed so happily, I want to hear what you said!"
"Gu Shichong said that he would be able to take me in soon."
“…”
He took another breath, then held his head in his hands as if he was irritated. He paced back and forth twice in the already narrow aisle, unable to speak for several times.
After holding it in for a long time, he finally uttered angrily: "Why does he do that?"
Compared to his collapse, Xue Zhiyi seemed remarkably calm. She rested her finger on her chin and said, "Yeah, I was wondering too. He'd just been reprimanded and released from house arrest, and he hasn't recovered yet. How could he have said that so confidently? Now isn't the right time to ask His Majesty for permission to marry."
Huo Wuyou narrowed his eyes and said, "I'm afraid he's had a bout of epilepsy and started talking nonsense."
Xue Zhiyi finally couldn't stand it anymore. She was talking to him about serious matters, but his mind was full of love and romance. Who was suffering from peach blossom madness?
She sighed exhaustedly, "I was trying to say that Gu Shichong might have some big move that we're all unaware of, which would give him a great chance of winning and allow him to regain His Majesty's favor after this move."
Huo Wuyou finally came back to his senses. He blinked, "Yeah, could it be that he's confident he can sabotage this peace negotiation so that the Ge family can continue to be valued?"
"I don't know." Xue Zhiyi shook his head: "Gu Shichong doesn't trust me enough to tell me all these things. Now he still wants to rely on me to pass on the news of Jianzhang Palace."
Huo Wuyou said slowly, "So he is seducing you now."
Okay, we’re back again.
Glancing at him, Xue Zhiyi felt annoyed and said, "Yes, he told me a lot of his heartfelt words. It seemed that he was really sincere."
Seeing Huo Wuyou's eyes widen, she took off the gardenia hairpin on her head and waved it in front of Huo Wuyou with an expressionless face: "Look, he also gave me a love hairpin. Doesn't it look good?"
As expected, Huo Wuyou was struck by lightning. He immediately grabbed her hand holding the hairpin and moved closer to her, almost touching her.
But there was no anger on his face miraculously, instead he showed panic and confusion.
The sudden approach of that handsome face and the sudden approach of body temperature made Xue Zhiyi's breathing stop for a moment.
She suddenly felt a little guilty. Why did she use this matter to provoke him? He just liked her, and he had done nothing wrong... After all, it was she who had caused this love affair in the first place.
