Chapter 24 Who are you? Why can’t I find you in the whole Yidu…
"Zhi Yang, what are you doing in the room in broad daylight?"
When Jiang Wang pushed the door open, he saw Ji Zhiyang sitting on a chair, facing the window, wondering what he was thinking.
He walked over and poked Ji Zhiyang's arm: "Zhiyang, what are you doing sitting in the room alone?"
Ji Zhiyang looked out the window and said calmly, "Boring, just looking at the scenery."
He looked a little tired, and sat very low, as if he was about to sink into the chair, his eyes fixed on the swaying leaves of the ginkgo tree outside the window.
"What's so good about a tree?" Jiang Wang saw the fatigue between Ji Zhiyang's eyebrows and the red spots on his neck, and couldn't help but worry: "Zhiyang, are you okay? Are you sick?"
Then she pointed at his neck and said, "Is it an allergy? There are so many rashes."
But this rash... why is it so big? It's almost all over my neck, and the color is darker.
Ji Zhiyang was startled, he reached out and touched his neck, pulled up his collar, coughed lightly to cover up the blush on his cheeks, and said in a deep voice with a hint of embarrassment: "It's okay, it will be fine in two days."
It's all that bastard Gu Huai's fault!
He was bitten like this!
There is really no moderation at all!
He couldn't even go out!
Next time, he must return it!
Jiang Wang looked at the spots on his neck and frowned, "I think it's serious. Why don't we find a doctor to take a look?"
Ji Zhiyang quickly shook his head and whispered to stop him: "No, there's no need to find a doctor."
Carrying a neck full of strawberries for the doctor to look at!
Wouldn't that be so embarrassing?
He doesn't want to be embarrassed and have people laugh at him!
Jiang Wang refused to give in and said seriously, "Let's take a look. This rash... I don't think it's right. I'll go find a doctor right away."
...Why is this child so stubborn!
What's there to see?
"Really, there's no need...it...it's not a rash, it's, it's a mosquito bite." Ji Zhiyang lied.
"A mosquito bite?" Jiang Wang looked at Ji Zhiyang suspiciously, then moved closer and carefully observed Ji Zhiyang's neck. "It doesn't look like that to me! What kind of mosquito bite could leave such a wound? It's already a circle, and it's so big."
Ji Zhiyang felt uncomfortable under Jiang Wang's gaze, and felt his neck was hot. He raised his hand and touched it, then calmly changed the subject and shifted to another topic: "By the way, why did you come here suddenly? Is there anything?"
Jiang Wang became excited immediately after hearing this question. "If you hadn't told me, I would have forgotten. Guess who I just saw!"
Seeing his expression, Ji Zhiyang guessed 80% of it and couldn't help but asked with a smile: "Who is it?"
"Guess! We saw it yesterday!" Jiang kept the secret.
Ji Zhiyang raised his eyebrows and pretended not to know, "I saw him yesterday? Who was he?"
"Ye Qingqing!" Jiang Wang raised his lips and moved closer. "I just went to look for my brother and saw her coming out of the prince's study. Her eyes were red, as if she had been crying. Tell me, why did she come to see the prince? Why was she crying?"
Who knows this!
...Most likely they had a quarrel!
Matters of love are the hardest to guess!
He was not interested and was too lazy to speculate about other people's love lives. After completing his mission, he would always go back.
Seeing that Ji Zhiyang didn't say anything, Jiang Wang continued: Zhiyang, aren't you curious? You may not know that she was..."
Ji Zhiyang shrugged and interrupted him: "Why should I be curious? It's none of my business."
He was not interested in Gu Huai and Ye Qingqing's affairs.
What happened between the two of them has nothing to do with him.
His only thought now was to complete the task as soon as possible and leave here.
Jiang Wang curled his lips, "I was wondering why you are not curious at all!"
...Why is this kid so gossipy!
Ji Zhiyang glanced at him indifferently, "Why are you curious about it! She is getting married to the prince, and we can't be the main table."
"What are you talking about!" Jiang Wang's eyes widened, "Ye Qingqing will go to Beili to marry in a few days..."
Ji Zhiyang: "Marriage?"
Aren’t you marrying Gu Huai?
"Yes, I heard that the emperor adopted her as his daughter and wanted to send her to Beili as a marriage partner. She was originally a concubine's daughter and was not valued. If she marries the King of Beili in the future, she will become the queen, and her status will rise. This kind of glory and wealth can be enjoyed for a lifetime!"
As soon as Jiang Wang mentioned this matter, he seemed extremely excited. He told Ji Zhiyang all the news he knew in a torrent of words, spitting all over the place. Just as he was getting excited, Gu Huai walked in.
When Jiang Wang saw Gu Huai, he fell silent immediately, stood up awkwardly, and saluted Gu Huai, "Hello, Your Majesty."
He raised his hand and scratched his head guiltily, not knowing whether Gu Huai had heard the conversation just now.
Gu Huai didn't even look at him, but just focused his attention on Ji Zhiyang.
Ji Zhiyang also stood up and bowed, "Hello, Your Majesty."
Gu Huai hummed calmly, walked to the table, sat down, and whispered, "What were you talking about just now?"
What to talk about?
What else can we talk about!
Just chat about your gossip with Jiang Wang!
This kid is really capable!
Jiang Wang: "Uh..."
How should he answer this question?
You can't tell the truth...
The two were silent for a while, and Ji Zhiyang said, "Just chatting."
Jiang Wang glanced at him and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, let's chat!"
"Oh..." Gu Huai responded indifferently without further investigation. He turned his eyes to Jiang Wang and said in a deep voice: "When I came here, I saw Pei Shiwei looking for you everywhere. Maybe there is something urgent."
Brother, you're looking for me? What's the matter?
Doesn’t he know that I’m here to see Zhiyang?
Jiang Wang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I'll go right away."
"Yeah." Gu Huai nodded, signaling Jiang Wang to leave first.
Jiang Wang turned around and blinked at Ji Zhiyang with a smile. He turned and left while saying, "Zhiyang, have a good rest. I'll come see you another day."
When he reached the door, he stopped again, "By the way, Zhiyang, the wound on your neck looks scary! The more I look at it, the less it looks like a mosquito bite. You should find a doctor to take a look. It would be bad if you develop any disease."
Ji Zhiyang was drinking tea. When he heard Jiang Wang's words, he almost choked and started coughing.
Jiang Wang turned around and glanced at him, and said hurriedly: "Zhi Yang, are you okay? Is your neck uncomfortable?"
Hearing this, Gu Huai raised his eyebrows slightly, "A mosquito bite?"
Ji Zhiyang waved his hands and coughed, his handsome face turned red because of spitting water, "I... cough cough... I'm fine."
Jiang Wang nodded towards Gu Huai. Seeing Ji Zhiyang so flustered, he was more certain of his judgment and said quickly, "Lie down for a while. I'll go get the doctor."
Gu Huai sat aside and watched the show with a curled mouth, stirring the tea slowly with the lid of the cup, looking like he was watching a show.
"No need!" Ji Zhiyang quickly refused: "I'm really fine."
This kid is really...
He turned around and found Gu Huai looking like he was watching a show, and couldn't help but glare at him fiercely!
This piece of shit, please say something!
Why are you pretending to be dumb at this time!
Jiang Wang looked unconvinced and turned around to run to ask for a doctor. Seeing this, Ji Zhiyang hurriedly grabbed his arm and stopped him, saying, "It's really okay! It will be fine in a few days."
Having said that, he turned to look at Gu Huai and signaled him with his eyes to say something.
Why don't you speak up!
If you don't speak up, he will really call a doctor!
Then everyone will know that this is your masterpiece!
Gu Huai saw Ji Zhiyang's pleading eyes, curled his lips, finally coughed lightly, and said: "Well, it really doesn't look like a mosquito bite. You go first, I will ask someone to find a doctor to take a look at him."
Jiang Wang then nodded with satisfaction, turned around and ran outside.
Ji Zhiyang: ...
! !
This bullshit!
Ji Zhiyang was so angry that he stamped his feet, wishing he could beat that bastard Gu Huai until he had a black eye.
Gu Huai looked at his angry and embarrassed expression, curled the corners of his mouth slightly, then slowly picked up the teacup and took a sip.
His movements were graceful and lazy, making it hard to tell what he was thinking.
Ji Zhiyang stared at him angrily, "Did you do this on purpose?"
Gu Huai glanced at him and asked, "Do you think I am such a free person?"
Ji Zhiyang: ...
Gu Huai put down the teacup, looked up at Ji Zhiyang, and said slowly: "Come here."
The past? What in the past?
Ji Zhiyang looked at him suspiciously, frowned, and asked warily, "What are you doing?"
"The king asked you to come here, so just come here." Gu Huai's tone was neither salty nor bland, but it left Ji Zhiyang helpless.
He had no choice but to walk over reluctantly. As soon as he reached his side, Gu Huai grabbed his wrist, then pulled him into his arms with one force, wrapping his long arms around his waist.
Three black lines appeared on Ji Zhiyang's forehead.
"......What are you doing?" Ji Zhiyang struggled to push Gu Huai away.
This alpha is too dangerous...
Gu Huai lowered his head to his level, "Of course I'm here to help the doctor take a look at the mosquito bite on you... You're really good at lying."
There was a faint light in his eyes and a half-smile on his lips. He looked... really asking for a beating!
Ji Zhiyang was startled, and his fair face suddenly turned red, even the tips of his ears were dyed red.
He looked at Gu Huai with gritted teeth, wishing he could poke a few holes in his face!
This bastard!
He must give it back to him next time!
Be sure to fill his entire neck and chest with them!
Gu Huai held him in his arms, sniffed him, then rested his chin on his head, smelling the faint rose scent on him. He was stunned for a few seconds, then suddenly asked, "Who are you?"
Ji Zhiyang was slightly stunned. Why is this the question again?
He raised his eyebrows and said slowly, "The prince asked this question yesterday. I am just an ordinary person and now I am the prince's attendant."
"Really?" Gu Huai said in a faint voice, "Ji Zhiyang, you are quite good at lying."
...When did I lie?
Am I not just an ordinary person?!
Ji Zhiyang was a little depressed, but he still kept his temper, "I don't understand what the prince is saying."
Gu Huai moved his jaw away from his head, raised his hand to pinch his chin, and forced him to look into his eyes. "Who are you? Why can't I find any trace of you in the whole of Yidu?"
Ji Zhiyang was forced to look up at his eyes, which contained a hint of inquiry and scrutiny.
Ji Zhiyang felt uncomfortable being stared at and his heart skipped a beat.
What's happening?
Why are you asking this suddenly?
Could it be that...he discovered something?
