Chapter 41 Gu Huai gave you to this king. He is trying to trick me! ...

Ji Zhiyang narrowed his eyes.

That day, when I was caught by Gu Jing in the study of the Fourth Prince's Palace, Gu Huai said that if my affairs were known to Emperor Yi Zhen, it would cause a lot of trouble... Gu Jing sent someone to get information, probably to use me to deal with Gu Huai...

So... this? It's a trap!

Is he trying to trick me?!

Ji Zhiyang was determined in his heart, but he didn't show it on his face. He said calmly: "What do you mean by male pet? I don't understand what you are saying. I am just an attendant of the palace, just a servant."

The visitor was stunned, obviously not expecting him to deny it outright.

The three people outside the screen were also shocked.

Emperor Yizhen picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, with no expression on his face.

Gu Jing was shocked.

Gu Quan's pupils trembled and he turned to look at Gu Huai.

Gu Huai was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.

He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Ji Zhiyang was smart and didn't say anything nonsense, otherwise he would be in danger today.

As long as he doesn't talk nonsense, even if Gu Jing catches this handle, he can't do anything to him.

...is there a sound?

Ji Zhiyang heard a small sound from behind the screen.

Is anyone outside?

He turned his head to look at the screen, hoping to see what was going on through the tiny gap. Unfortunately, he could see nothing.

Someone was watching him outside.

…Who could it be?

Why? Why don't you speak?

Do you care about the scenery?

It shouldn’t be… If it was him, the person interrogating him now should have taken the situation into consideration.

If not him... then who?

Who would be so bored to tie me up here and ask these boring questions?

Ji Zhi frowned and looked around quickly. This? The luxury inside doesn't seem like a royal palace... When I was brought here blindfolded just now, I vaguely heard a sharp voice. That voice... seemed to be a eunuch...

Could it be... me? In the palace now?

Now think about it carefully, the guest took me away, so I took the initiative and thought that I was in the Second Prince's Mansion...

But... why did Gu Jing bring me to the palace?

…..Why don’t the people outside speak?

Could it be that he was outside? Was it Emperor Yizhen that he was meeting?

No wonder you want to trick me? If I just told the truth, wouldn't Gu Huai be finished?

The mission is not yet completed, and Gu Huai cannot get into trouble. If he gets into trouble, I won't be able to go home.

Gu Jing brought me here, probably to use me? I must be dealing with Gu Huai, I can't let him succeed...

Although he has not yet understood their world, Ji Zhiyang knows that he and Gu Huai can only be a master and servant relationship in front of others.

He narrowed his eyes.

Since you set a trap for me, then I...

Ji Zhiyang glanced at the screen, then quickly lowered his head, pretending to be crazy and stupid? "I am a servant, what on earth did the Second Prince arrest me for?" He looked up at the man in front of him, pursed his lips, and said? "Could it be that I saw the Second Prince looking for a male prostitute last time, and the Second Prince wants to silence me... or, that day? You and the Second Prince went to the Fourth Prince's Mansion and did that kind of thing in the Fourth Prince's Mansion's chamber..." He pretended to be scared, pretending to have a trembling voice, "I saw it accidentally, I will not leak the Prince's secret, please spare my life..."

Ji Zhiyang's voice was very low, but the people outside the screen could hear it clearly.

He portrayed himself as an innocent victim, and also as an unlucky person who was implicated because he spied on the second prince's affair with a man.

"Shut up! What are you talking about? That day, the prince's clothes were dirty and he was changing in the room!" The man shouted, "My prince is a gentleman! How could he do such a dirty thing?!"

Ji Zhiyang shrank his neck and quickly agreed with him: "Yes, yes, I understand. Please rest assured, Second Prince, I promise to keep my mouth shut and never reveal a word even until I die."

He shrank back, looking terrified.

The visitor's face was livid, but he could not move because of the person outside the screen, so he had to endure it.

Outside the screen, Gu Jing's face changed slightly, veins on his forehead throbbed, and he wanted to rush in and tear his mouth apart.

He didn't expect that this person would be so difficult to deal with.

Gu Huai's lips curled up unconsciously and he almost laughed out loud.

Ji Zhiyang is a good actor, his nonsense makes people confused about the truth? .

Emperor Yizhen had a calm expression, and it was hard to tell whether he was happy or angry. He placed the teacup in his hand on the table and winked at the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch immediately understood and ordered the people waiting on the side to take Ji Zhiyang away.

Ji Zhiyang was blindfolded and dragged away. He lowered his head and looked submissive. Before leaving, he still shouted loudly: "Please, Second Prince, please spare me... Don't kill me, I am very tight-lipped..."

Am I? Safe?

Walk slower...

No...why are you getting on the carriage again?

This? Blindfolded, are you sending me? Going back...

Not until Ji Zhiyang completely disappeared from his sight did Gu Huai slowly put away the smile on his face.

Gu Jing hurriedly defended himself, "Father, don't believe him, he is talking nonsense!" He cast a cold gaze on Gu Huai's face, "Did my fourth brother say something to him, causing him to accuse me?"

Gu Huai said calmly, "What are you talking about, second brother? Wasn't he taken away by second brother before we entered the palace? I don't know what will happen, so how can I arrange everything in advance?" He paused and said, "He is just an ordinary servant who saw the ugly deeds of second brother..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Gu Jing: "That's a lie! I just got dirty that day, and there were other servants in the room at that time... He is clearly trying to sow discord. He is confusing right and wrong and misleading Father!"

He became more and more excited as he spoke, his hands clenched into fists, as if ready to jump up and strangle Gu Huai's neck at any time.

Emperor Yizhen listened to their argument quietly without interrupting.

Gu Quan stood beside Gu Jing and said in a deep voice: "He was blindfolded when he came in and out just now, and he didn't know this. There were other people in the room, so how could he create discord?" He took a deep look at Gu Jing and said in a low voice: "It's second brother, you just grabbed a servant and said he was fourth brother's male pet, it's too much of a joke? Father is wise and intelligent, how could he be fooled so easily!"

Gu Quan's words were quite skillful. He not only accused Gu Jing of slandering Gu Huai, but also accused Gu Jing of having evil thoughts out of jealousy. He also pointed out that Gu Huai was innocent and praised Emperor Yizhen.

Gu Huai looked at Emperor Yizhen and said with a folded hand: "Father, you are wise. He is just an ordinary attendant. I, your son, do not like men."

Gu Jing snorted coldly and was about to say something else when Emperor Yizhen spoke.

Emperor Yizhen pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, "Okay, Jing'er, be more careful in the future and don't mess around anymore. I believe in Huai'er, and Huai'er is not a ridiculous person. As an elder brother, you care about your younger brother, and I am very pleased. But you need to be steady and not reckless. It would be bad if you hurt the relationship between brothers."

The meaning of his words was obvious.

Gu Jing clenched his fists.

He originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to bring down Gu Huai, but he ended up making things worse.

He never expected that a mere servant could be so smart, which made him confused.

He gave Gu Huai a disapproving look.

Gu Huai stood aside calmly with a frank expression, not at all afraid of Gu Jing's gaze.

Gu Jing gritted his teeth and said, "Father is right. I will remember this." He stopped and looked at Gu Huai. "Since he is just an ordinary servant, I think my fourth brother will not mind if he serves in my house?"

Gu Huai was stunned, a dark light flashed in his eyes, but his face remained calm: "Of course, he is just a servant. It is his blessing to serve my second brother."

Now that my father is here, how can I be spared? Reject.

Agree to it first and think of a solution when you get back.

"Thank you very much, fourth brother." Gu Jing smiled, "I? I'm worried about my health? I don't have a caring person to serve me."

I want to see how long you can keep pretending.

But I'm really willing to let him go.

Gu Huai clenched his fist and said calmly: "Second brother, you're too polite."

Gu Jing spoke in front of his father, so he had no chance to refuse. If he hesitated at all, his father would become suspicious.

He could only compromise.

I'll think of a way to save him when I get back home...

Emperor Yizhen waved his hand and said, "Everyone, please leave."

The three people bowed and left.

Outside the palace, Gu Jing called Gu Huai and said, "Fourth brother, why don't you go to the mansion and see your servants?"

Gu Huai paused, his breathing stagnated, and his hands clenched into fists. "The person has already gone to my second brother's house. He must be my second brother's servant. What does this have to do with me?"

Gu Jing walked up to him and said with a smile, "Tsk! Fourth brother is really willing to give up." He raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "I wonder what his expression would be if he knew that Fourth brother sent him out so casually."

Gu Jing smiled sarcastically and turned away? He left.

Gu Huai's heart suddenly shook, as if someone had pinched him hard, and the dull pain was too painful to ignore.

Will Ji Zhiyang blame him?

He has no choice...Day? He will find a way to get him back later...

No... He was just a servant, but he himself? He had no reason to blame himself for pampering him on a whim? ...

He was just a servant.

...Just a servant.

Gu Quan looked at him and whispered, "Keep calm, don't fall into his trap." He paused and said, "I will find a way to get him back."

Gu Huai put on an open-minded and generous attitude, with a smile on his face, "He's just a servant. Just give it to him if he wants it." He said and strode forward.

He spoke so calmly, as if he really didn't take the servant to heart.

But, only he? Knows? The hands hidden in his sleeves are trembling slightly.

Gu Jing is ruthless and merciless, with an unpredictable personality. If Ji Zhiyang falls into his hands, he may be in danger...

Ji Zhiyang was taken to the Second Prince's Mansion and thrown directly into the house.

There was nothing in the room except a bed, table and chairs, and it smelled faintly of mold. The windows were sealed shut, and the room was dark and cramped.

Ji Zhiyang struggled a few times, but his hands and feet were tied up. How could he move? He couldn't move.

He lay on the floor, looking up at the dark ceiling.

He knew? This? This? Was it the Second Prince's Mansion. But he didn't know? Why did Gu Jing bring him back? Could it be that he had annoyed him by talking nonsense today?

He is cruel and merciless... Me? If I fall into his hands, I'm afraid my life will be over!

...No, no, Gu Huai will save me? Yes... He will definitely find a way to save me? Yes... Besides, I haven't completed the mission yet, how could the system let me? Die...

"Creaky—" The door was suddenly pushed open, and a cool breeze rushed in. The candlelight illuminated the room, which was so bright that he could not open his eyes. He closed his eyes subconsciously.

Gu Jing stepped in and glanced at Ji Zhiyang lying on the ground. "Who told you to tie him up? Why don't you untie him quickly?" He pretended to be surprised. "Who tied him up? You guys dare to neglect my guest? You are getting more and more daring."

All the servants in the room were scolded and immediately went forward to untie Ji Zhiyang.

Ji Zhiyang immediately noticed something was wrong.

Shouldn't he be tied up and tortured? Why did Gu Jing let someone untie him? And even called him? A guest?

This? Gu Jing, what on earth are you doing?

Ji Zhiyang had a strong sense of foreboding in his heart. Just as he was about to open his mouth to question, Gu Jing's eyes had already fallen on him.

That icy, cold look made Ji Zhiyang shudder and he closed his mouth involuntarily.

Gu Jing walked up to him, squatted, lifted his chin with his index finger, and looked at him carefully for a long time. His eyes suddenly turned cold, and he clenched his fingers so hard that he almost crushed Ji Zhiyang's chin.

Ji Zhiyang's back was stiff, his face was pale with pain, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

What is he going to do?

...You're trying to kill me?

This thought popped up in his mind.

Gu Jing's fingers relaxed a little, and he spoke slowly, "You and your fourth brother are really capable." He patted Ji Zhiyang's face, "But... what a pity."

Gu Jing curled his lips and smiled.

The smile is weird and scary!

What does he mean...what a pity?

Ji Zhiyang was stunned.

Gu Jing withdrew his hand and stood up, looking down at him and said with a sneer, "My fourth brother gave you to me. From now on, you will be my attendant."

His tone was nonchalant and his eyes were fixed on Ji Zhiyang, as if he wanted to see an expression of fear, panic, or even pain and disappointment on his face.
