Chapter 26: I will leave this unruly dog ​​slave in two years...

Two days later, Gu Huai sent someone to Xianxianglou to reject Han Jingzhi's request in the name of Ji Zhiyang.

Han Jingzhi drank alone, with a look of disappointment on his face.

He originally thought that Ji Zhiyang would come to the appointment, but... he guessed wrong.

The person sent by Ji Zhiyang said that he didn't know him and was not interested in the two strange dishes he mentioned, and even thought that he had recognized the wrong person.

Could it be that... he really recognized the wrong person?

Han Jingzhi refused to give up and stubbornly sent the two dishes to the palace. He also thoughtfully wrote down the names of the two dishes and a secret code that only he and Ji Zhiyang could understand.

But he didn't know that as soon as the vegetables were delivered to the palace, Gu Huai ordered them to be fed to the dogs.

On the second day, Han Jingzhi met the servant from the palace again. The servant came to convey a message on behalf of Ji Zhiyang, saying that the food was good but not to his taste, and asked him not to send it again in the future.

Han Jingzhi went to the palace several times later, but he never met Ji Zhiyang...

Ji Zhiyang was lying on the bed. When he saw Yun Fu coming in with breakfast, he said lazily, "I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat. Take it away."

Yun Fu smiled and placed the food on the table. "This is the porridge and side dishes that the prince specially ordered to be prepared for you. If you don't like it, I will ask the kitchen to make some other soup and send it to you later."

"No need." Ji Zhiyang refused bluntly.

After telling Gu Huai that he was not from this world, he rarely saw Gu Huai again.

Four months passed in a blink of an eye, and they met only a few times. Yun Fu just thought that Gu Huai was busy, but he didn't believe it. What could he be so busy with?

Not allowing him to leave the house or contact the outside world, is this an attempt to imprison him?

However... Gu Huai would always come to accompany him during his estrus period every month...

This was probably the only thing he felt fortunate about.

After all, he's a target for capture, and he's going to have kids, so it would be great if I could accompany him through his estrus period...

As for why he was not allowed to leave the house... he thought, they were probably still suspicious of his identity.

Ji Zhiyang sighed, turned over, turned his back to the sky, closed his eyes and rested.

He is not afraid of suspicion.

Because no one with a mental problem would believe that he came from a thousand years ago.

What Ji Zhiyang is most worried about now is his mission completion rate...

When will he be able to get pregnant?

Isn't it very easy for an omega to get pregnant during estrus?

...After so many times...why haven’t you gotten pregnant yet?

What's the problem?

Two years... A pregnancy lasts ten months. If I fail to conceive, wouldn't the mission be a failure?

He reached up and touched the gland at the back of his neck…

Could it be that Gu Huai...is not okay? !

Yun Fu stood aside and waited for a long time, but Ji Zhiyang didn't move. He couldn't help but cough lightly.

Ji Zhiyang turned to look at him: "Anything else? Steward Yun?"

"The prince asked me to serve you dinner." Yun Fu handed the bowl and chopsticks to him.

Ji Zhiyang glanced at the food table indifferently, picked up a pair of chopsticks and started eating slowly, asking as he ate, "Where's the prince?"

"The prince is handling official business in the study."

"Oh." Ji Zhiyang responded nonchalantly.

It’s dealing with official business again. Every day I ask you about dealing with official business. Why weren’t there so many official business before?

...Is he really not capable of this?

Probably not... If he is not capable, why would the system give me two years to conquer him...

Or... try again?

Yun Fu hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Your Highness has been very busy these days, so he is not available. Actually, Your Highness cares a lot about you..."

Before he finished speaking, Ji Zhiyang paused in picking up the food, then returned to normal and continued to eat elegantly.

...This Yun Fu really thought he and Gu Huai were a couple.

"You care and still lock me up in your house?"

The way he cares about people is really special.

"…Prince, this is for your own good. Things are not peaceful these days, and not letting you leave the palace is also to protect you."

Ji Zhiyang didn't respond.

That sounds nice...

...He couldn't just sit there and wait for death, he had to take the initiative and attack.

After finishing his meal, he wiped the corners of his lips and suddenly said, "I'll go see the prince."

Gu Huai didn't let him leave the house, but he didn't say he wasn't allowed to leave the room.

Yun Fu was stunned for a moment, and quickly stopped him, "The prince is busy with official business, it is not appropriate to disturb him."

"That's fine. I'll go check it out so I don't delay him too long."

Ji Zhiyang walked around Yunfu and headed towards the study.

Yun Fu rushed over to stop him, but was still a step late. Ji Zhiyang had already pushed the door open and walked in.

"Your Highness, are you tired? Are you thirsty? Are you hungry...?" His voice was heard before he entered the study, but he paused at the last two words when he pushed the door open.

Gu Huai heard the noise and looked towards the door with a frown.

Besides Gu Huai and Pei Ji, there was another man in the room. The man was handsome, dressed gorgeously, and had an extraordinary temperament. At first glance, he was somewhat similar to Gu Huai, but he was colder and more distant than Gu Huai.

Who is this person? I have never seen him before.

The man seemed to notice something and turned his head to look at Ji Zhiyang. His gaze froze for a moment and a hint of sarcasm appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Ji Zhiyang was hurt by that smile and couldn't help but clench his fists.

"Who let you in?" Gu Huai asked in an unhappy tone.

Before Ji Zhiyang could speak, the man next to him said, "Is this the male pet that Fourth Brother keeps in the mansion?" He walked forward and looked Ji Zhiyang up and down. "He does look good, but how could he be so ignorant of the rules? How dare he break into the master's study?"

Gu Huai's face sank.

The man smiled and added: "It seems that Fourth Brother is not well educated. Why don't you send him to my palace and I will discipline him for you?"

Gu Huai frowned, "Second brother, be careful with your words."

Second brother?

Is he the Second Prince Gu Jing?

Ji Zhiyang's heart sank. Aren't these two people incompatible? Why is Gu Jing here?

Before he understood, he heard Gu Huai coldly say, "Why don't you get out?!" He took a step to leave, and heard Gu Jing sneer, "Fourth brother is so protective of his son, he is very similar to third brother, after all, he is the son of Concubine Xiao Guifei... It's a pity that Concubine Xiao Guifei died early. If she were still alive, she would be heartbroken to see you and third brother like this for a man." He deliberately emphasized the words "Concubine Xiao Guifei" and "man", shook his head, "Third brother has his eyes on the male prostitute in Xianpinju, you accompany him to Xianpinju every day, is he also a male prostitute?"

His tone was full of sarcasm, as if Ji Zhiyang was already a male prostitute.

Ji Zhiyang pursed his thin lips and left the study.

This is really not the right time...

These two people quarreled, so what? Why did they take it out on him? His last name is not Gu, so why should he bear the false accusation?

Gu Huai's face instantly turned livid, he slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily: "Gu Jing!"

Although Gu Huai disliked Gu Jing, he still had to keep up appearances on weekdays. At this moment, calling him by his name showed that he was obviously angry.

Gu Jing raised his eyebrows lightly, "Why are you so angry because of shame? You are a prince, you can have as many male concubines as you want. But..." He walked closer to Gu Huai, leaned close to his ear, and smiled contemptuously, "If the emperor knew that you had a male concubine, what do you think would happen?"

Gu Huai's eyes flickered slightly, and he clenched his hands at his sides into fists, "Are you threatening me, second brother?"

"I am just kindly reminding you, Fourth Brother, that since you are a male favorite, you should hide yourself well, lest others see you and report you to Father... You know Father's temper." He raised his hand and patted Gu Huai's shoulder, then turned around and was about to leave. "Since Fourth Brother doesn't welcome me, I will leave."

Looking at his back, Gu Huai narrowed his eyes.

Gu Jing covets the throne and will certainly use any means to compete with my third brother for it. Half of the court is controlled by him. My father doesn't like men to keep male favorites. If my father knew that my third brother went to Xianpinju, he would be furious.

By then, Gu Jing will have an opportunity.

He would never allow this to happen.

No, I have to inform my third brother and let him prepare early.

Thinking of this, he ordered Pei Ji to go to the Third Prince's Palace to deliver the message.

Pei Ji took the order and left.

Gu Huai sat back in his chair, rubbing his forehead, his brows full of annoyance.

After a while, he called Yunfu: "Where is Ji Zhiyang?"

Yun Fu answered cautiously, "Master Ji has returned to his room."

Gu Huai frowned. This idiot, why did he suddenly come to the study instead of staying in his room?

He didn't come earlier or later, but came when Gu Jing was here. He even suspected that Ji Zhiyang did it on purpose.

"Go call him over." he said in a deep voice.

Yun Fu responded and stepped back.

After a while, he came over with Ji Zhiyang.

Gu Huai sat upright, staring at Ji Zhiyang seriously, his eyes sharp and cold: "Why did you come to the study just now?"

Ji Zhiyang looked at Gu Huai's stern expression and his heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, it was because of what happened just now...

Gu Jing's rude words just now made him angry. Is he taking it out on him now?

Ji Zhiyang swallowed quietly.

Seeing this, Gu Huai became more and more unhappy, frowning even more deeply, and scolded in a deep voice: "Are you dumb? Why don't you answer?"

Ji Zhiyang was so frightened that he trembled and stammered, "I, I..."

Gu Huai's patience ran out, and he laughed in anger, "Is it because I am too good to you? That makes you so bold and reckless?"

"No, I...I just didn't mean it."

Ji Zhiyang shuddered and tried to explain himself hastily.

He didn't want to anger Gu Huai.

Gu Huai didn't believe it at all. "You mean?" He snorted. "I hate unruly dogs the most!"

Dog slave?!

These three words were like needles piercing Ji Zhiyang's heart.

Why does this alpha keep belittling him and insulting him?

He opened his mouth and wanted to explain, but when he met Gu Huai's cold gaze, he felt that it was unnecessary and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"I told you to stay in your room, why did you come out?" Gu Huai stepped forward and pinched his chin, suppressing his anger. "You've been here for just a few months, and not only have the servants in the palace liked you, you've even been able to hook up with the boss of Xianxianglou. What? Are you not satisfied? Now you want to seduce Gu Jing again?" He used force with his hands.

What's wrong with you for no apparent reason?

What is hooking up? Why do you say such insulting words?

What did he do?

Doesn't he even have the right to go out?

If it weren't for the mission, who would be willing to stay here and be imprisoned!

He had thought that he hadn't seen him for a long time, so he came to see him, but he started to slander him as soon as he opened his mouth. It was as if he was an unforgivable sinner in his eyes!

Ji Zhiyang endured the severe pain and broke free from Gu's arms, "I didn't."

"No?" Gu Huai sneered and pinched his chin again, "What are you doing here? Did you do it on purpose? Do you know how much trouble it will cause to my third brother if the emperor knows about you?" He increased the strength of his hand, and a hint of anger welled up in the depths of his black eyes, "If you don't follow the rules and ruin my business in the future, you'll get out!"

If Gu Jing reports this, even if the matter of Xianpinju can be kept secret, Ji Zhiyang's matter cannot be kept secret. By then, my father will surely be angry with my third brother because of my own affairs.

Ji Zhiyang led a retreat.

What was his relationship with the Third Prince? Gu was probably afraid that the Emperor would be angry with him.

He always thought Gu Huai treated him differently, but it turned out that he was just being self-righteous.

Maybe it was because Gu Huai exerted too much force, but Ji Zhiyang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

He pried open Gu Huai's hand, rubbed his jaw, pulled the corners of his mouth, and revealed a smile that was uglier than crying: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will leave in two years." He felt a heat in his body, and he raised his hand to touch the back of his neck. It was a little hot, and a faint rose scent spread from the back of his neck.

He's... in heat.
