Chapter 42: Go back to where you came from. Finally, I can go back! ...

However, he was disappointed.

There was no trace of emotion on Ji Zhiyang's face, as if he had just said something casual and calm.

Is this the reaction of a jilted male pet?

Gu Jing frowned.

Ji Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly.

You trick me during the day and sow discord between me at night. I'd never trust you!

Gu Jing narrowed his narrow eyes and said coldly: "You are worthy of being the one that Fourth Brother likes. You are really patient." He stretched out his slender fingers and rubbed his cheeks a few times, "Fourth Brother gave you to me, I will never let you down..." His fingers slid to the lapel and stopped.

Ji Zhiyang's face suddenly changed, with panic in his eyes. His body trembled slightly, and he quickly moved back two inches to avoid his touch.

He? ...What?

Gu Jing sneered, "What are you afraid of? What? Can I eat you?"

What a pervert!

Gu Huai, why don't you come to save me...

Ji Zhiyang shuddered all over, shook his head continuously, and said with trembling lips: "My Lord... I am really just an... ordinary servant..."

He? What on earth...was he going to do?

Ji Zhiyang became more and more frightened, and his body trembled more violently. He wanted to escape? There was nowhere to escape.

Gu Jing stared at him deeply for a moment, then suddenly smiled, his dark eyes full of calculation.

"Don't worry, I'm not your fourth brother, and I'm not interested in men." He leaned over and whispered in Ji Zhiyang's ear, "Since he gave you to me, then you should stay here well. If you don't want to stay in my house in the future, tell me and I'll send you back." He raised his hand and patted his cheek, revealing an ambiguous smile.

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the door.

Go? When he reached the door, he paused, turned his head and glanced at Ji Zhiyang, his eyes and eyebrows full of the pride of a winner.

He? Want to see how long Gu Huai can hold on.

He originally wanted to torture Ji Zhiyang to find out his relationship with Gu Huai, but on the way back from the palace, he thought of a better way.

If Ji Zhiyang stayed with him for some time and sent him back to the Four Princes' Palace unharmed, Gu's suspicious character would definitely make him suspicious. At that time, he would only need to do something to make them lose their composure. Why would he wait for me to take action?

Gu Jing curled his thin lips and strode out of the room.

Ji Zhiyang didn't come back to his senses until he heard the sound of the door closing. He sat back in his chair as if exhausted, patted his chest, and let out a long sigh of relief.

I was scared to death!

Good luck...

He wiped the cold sweat from his head, his heart still beating violently. He felt his throat was dry and wanted to drink some water to relieve it, but he found that there was no tea in the room. He wanted to knock on the door and ask someone to bring some water, but he thought of Gu Jing's gloomy face and finally gave up.

Forget it, just bear with it.

…Let’s drink it after we go out…

I don't know what you are looking for? When will you come...

He? He was resting at the table, closing his eyes and resting.

Tomorrow is New Year's Eve... He? Firmly believe that Gu Huai will come to save him? Yes...

After sleeping for an unknown amount of time, Ji Zhiyang could vaguely hear some small noises coming from outside the window.

He opened his eyes and walked to the window. Through the gap, he saw the servants hanging lanterns in the yard. Snowflakes were falling from the sky, landing on their shoulders and making their heads look heavy. But they didn't seem to notice and were still busy, with joy on their faces.

He? He stared at the snowflakes for a while, feeling a little empty inside.

Today is New Year's Eve...

He? He still wants to have a reunion dinner with Jiang Wang... What is Gu Huai about? When will he come to pick him up? Ah...

“Squeak—”

The door was pushed open.

Ji Zhiyang quickly turned around and looked over.

Gu Jing, wearing an apricot-yellow dragon robe and a cloak, walked slowly into the house.

Ji Zhiyang was startled, and quickly lowered his eyes: "Prince."

Are you going to let me go?

Gu Jing walked up to him and looked down at him for a moment.

Ji Zhiyang swallowed nervously, not daring to look him in the eye.

"Today is New Year's Eve. Do you have anything to tell your fourth brother? I can give it to him for you when I enter the palace." Gu Jing spoke slowly, with a condescending tone.

Ji Zhiyang was stunned.

What does this guy want to do?

He? What? What do you mean?

Ji Zhiyang looked up at him warily? "...No? Yes."

Gu Jing curled his lips and asked casually, "Why? Don't you want to go back?"

Of course I want to go back!

But I'm not a fool, okay!

You've imprisoned me, and I'm asking you to bring a message?

Gu Huai knows I'm here, he will definitely come to rescue me...

I won't believe a pervert like you!

Although he was very scared, he still insisted: "I don't understand what the prince means. Didn't the prince say that I will be a member of the Second Prince's Mansion in the future? If so, why should I go back?" He pursed his lips and said, "Besides, I am just an ordinary servant, how can I have anything to say to the Fourth Prince."

His pretending to be calm made Gu Jing narrow his eyes slightly. Didn't he expect to underestimate him? He was actually much more cunning than his fourth brother?

He snorted contemptuously: "Okay. In that case, then, you stay here."

Then he turned around and walked out? Go? Go.

Ji Zhiyang breathed a sigh of relief.

Another escape...

He? He listened to the sounds of people playing in the yard and was in a daze for a long time. He slowly looked out the window at the gradually darkening sky and murmured, "This year's New Year's Eve is so deserted and unlucky."

Others are celebrating the New Year with their families and are very happy, but I am imprisoned... Oh!

It would be better to be imprisoned in the room by Gu Huai. Besides not being able to go out, at least there is charcoal fire to keep warm. Now? Not to mention charcoal fire, there is not even a cup of hot tea? Yes.

He sighed and shrank back in his chair.

I don't know what he is worried about? When can I come to pick him up? ...

Gu Jing wanted to provoke Gu Huai, but unexpectedly, after the New Year's Eve banquet, Gu Huai hurried back home without mentioning Ji Zhiyang at all.

Gu Jing sneered and continued to pretend?

I don’t know how many days I can hold on.

Gu Huai's calmness and patience were beyond his expectations. He thought that if he provoked him a little, he would be furious and come to him impatiently.

Who would have thought that after dozens of days, he not only did not take the initiative to look for her, but he did not even show any sign of abnormality, as if he was not worried about Ji Zhiyang's safety at all.

Such a reaction made Gu Jing very unhappy.

He thought he had found Gu Huai's weak spot, but he didn't expect that the other party was not threatened at all.

He? Didn't know that, in a place he? couldn't see, Gu Huai could no longer hold back his emotions.

"My people sent a message saying that he was just imprisoned. Don't worry, Gu Jing should not do anything to him." Gu Quan frowned and warned Gu Huai in a deep voice, "Don't be impulsive, or you will fall into his trap."

Gu Huai hummed lightly, and said nothing else.

He? Really shouldn't be upset about a servant, but he? couldn't help but think of Ji Zhiyang.

He was clearly just an ordinary servant, and they had only known each other for a few short months, but when he thought of him suffering in Gu Jing's place, he felt a dull pain in his chest, as if being grabbed by an invisible hand, and he couldn't breathe.

It's just that one person is missing, but every time I go back home, I always feel like something is missing. Life was like this before he didn't show up, so why do I feel empty now?

Gu Huai rubbed his brows and put aside the messy thoughts in his mind.

After Gu Quan left, Pei Ji came forward to report.

"My Lord, everything has been chosen."

Gu Huai stood up, glanced at him, and said calmly, "Send it over tomorrow morning."

Pei Ji nodded and left.

Gu Huai came to Ji Zhiyang's bedroom alone.

Since Ji Zhiyang was taken away by Gu Jing, he would come here to stay for a while almost every day, and sometimes he would rest here. Smelling the familiar smell on the bedding, Gu Huai suddenly felt calmer.

Him? Never thought about him? Would I be so worried about a man?

He? He couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head.

Ji Zhiyang curled up on the bed, hugging his knees with his hands.

Half a month has passed, and no one cares about him? Come and save him? .

Him? I even thought that maybe Gu Huai didn't know him? Was he taken away by Gu Jing? Then I thought, how could it be possible...

At the beginning, he was still somewhat expectant, thinking that Gu Huai would definitely come to save him, but slowly, he seemed to get used to it.

But, if I don’t go back, how can I complete the mission? If I can’t complete the mission, how can I go home?

Why……

He? Really... treats me as? His servant?

Are you really giving me to someone else?

Why? What? I am a living person, not an object!

Servant...

Never mind. I am just a servant myself.

Anyway? We can go back after completing the mission...

It's just that this world is so strange... There are so many betas?, and I can't seem to smell any pheromones...

...I don't know how long I will stay here.

What if? I never go back...what to do during the estrus period...

Forget it, the car has reached the mountain? There must be a way, there will always be a way.

Maybe... maybe Gu Huai will come to save me tomorrow... Will he come...

He huddled his head under the quilt, not knowing why, but feeling a little sad and sour in his heart.

...This year has been really terrible.

He? He took his hand out of the quilt, picked up the jade pendant beside him and rubbed it twice.

He bought this on Changyue Street that day, and originally wanted to give it to Gu Huai on New Year's Eve, but it was taken away by Gu Jing's people as soon as he returned home.

What do you care about? Have you seen anything good? How can you look up to him? I just bought a jade pendant casually... I originally thought it was a token of my appreciation, but now? I think about it, forget it...

He? thought, couldn?t help but laugh at himself.

Can I still see him? It's all a problem, what gift should I give...

Ji Zhiyang was lost in thought when he suddenly heard footsteps at the door.

So early? Who could it be?

"Creaky—" the door opened and Gu Jing walked in.

Ji Zhiyang was stunned for a moment, then stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty."

So early, what is he doing here?

Since New Year's Eve, he hasn't come here again, except occasionally asking the guards to pass on a message to him. Why did he suddenly come here today?

Could it be... that they were here to kill him? To silence him?

All the color drained from Ji Zhiyang's face.

This is Gu Jing's territory. He has nowhere to escape. If Gu Jing wants to kill him, it's easy.

Thinking of this, his legs couldn't help shaking.

Gu Jing looked at Ji Zhiyang expressionlessly, then slowly walked towards him, stopped three steps away from him, and looked down at him.

Ji Zhiyang was so frightened that he held his breath, his eyes filled with horror.

Is it really the end?

Gu Jing stared at him for a long time, and finally sneered and said, "You can go now."

Ji Zhiyang widened his eyes and looked at him in astonishment.

Can I...walk?

He? Want to let me go back?

Is this true or false?

Are you trying to trick me again?

Gu Jing saw him? He didn't move, frowning unhappily: "Why? Don't you want to leave?"

Ji Zhiyang snapped back to his senses and said hurriedly, "No, I don't understand what you mean. Where do you want me to go?"

He? He was a little confused and couldn't believe his ears.

He couldn't believe that he actually had a chance to be reborn!

Gu Jing looked down at him from above, "Of course, go back to where you came from."

Ji Zhiyang was still a little dazed, and asked hesitantly, "Are you serious, Lord?"

"Otherwise? What?" Gu Jing raised his eyebrows impatiently, "If I don't let you go back, Gu Huai will almost fill up my palace."

They send servants here every day. If there were only one or two, it would be fine, but they send three or four batches a day, with ten to twenty each time... My palace is almost becoming a guest inn.

He thought Gu Huai could keep his temper for a long time, but he couldn't help it after just ten days.

Well, anyway, keeping him is useless. Let him go back safely. I don't believe that Gu Huai won't be suspicious. Maybe he can be used by me in the future.

Ji Zhiyang was stunned.

What do you mean?

Is it Gu Huai who came to rescue me?

I knew it... I knew him? He would definitely find a way to save me...

The change in his expression caught Gu Jing's eyes, and he curled the corners of his lips sarcastically, "I've neglected you during your stay at the mansion. If your fourth brother treats you badly after you go back, you can come to me anytime."

Just forget it!

No matter how bad the situation is, I won't come to you!

Ji Zhiyang cursed in his heart, but said? "Thank you for being obedient."

Gu Jing personally sent Ji Zhiyang back to the Four Princes' Palace.

After the carriage stopped, Gu Jing left first. He got off the carriage and saw Gu Huai with a smile on his face, "Fourth brother, your attendant has brought you back. I was going to bring him back a few days ago, but Master Ji and I hit it off right away, so I let him stay on earth for a few more days."

Screw your feeling of familiarity at first sight!

Ji Zhiyang really wanted to jump up and rub his mouth.

After Gu Jing finished speaking, he walked to Ji Zhiyang's side, put his ear close to his ear and opened his mouth.

Gu Huai narrowed his eyes and stared at the two of them.

Ji Zhiyang didn't hear any sound, and looked up at Gu Jing in surprise. Just as he was about to ask, Gu Jing raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "I'm leaving now. You are always welcome to visit the palace."

He turned his head and glanced at Gu Huai, a sinister sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he turned around and got on the carriage.

Ji Zhiyang looked at Gu Jing's back, his heart full of doubts.

What did Gu Jing talk to him about just now?

I opened my mouth, but what? No sound? There was...

He? Turning his head, he met Gu Huai's gaze.

Ji Zhiyang was stunned, "My Lord."

Gu Hui scanned him from head to toe, stared at him for a long while, and suddenly asked, "Are you injured?" His tone was very gentle, no different from usual.

Ji Zhi shook his head.

Gu Huai glanced at him lightly and asked, "What did he say to you before he left?"
