Chapter 56 I have to let him know that I like his kindness, very...

This? That's true.

Since he has said this, it is not easy for me to say anything else.

Gu Huai was silent for a while, then said, "Forget it. Since you want to go, I won't stop you. I just hope you remember your promise!"

"Well, let's go have dinner with this king."

Ji Zhiyang nodded.

No matter his tone or the words he said, they always sounded weird to my ears.

You were like that just now, but now you are so talkative?

It won't be a scam, right?

Ji Zhiyang looked at Gu Huai suspiciously for a few times, and finally suppressed his strange emotions and left the study with him.

The two of them ate together, and Gu Huai served him the food himself, his movements delicate and gentle.

Looking at his appearance, Ji Zhiyang felt more and more uneasy. He didn't know what he wanted to do, what he was selling, medicine.

Did you drink fake wine?

The food is...poisoned? Poisoned?

...There's a ghost!

There must be something fishy going on!

What must he have? A conspiracy!

"What? Aren't you hungry?" Seeing that he was slow to eat, Gu Huai frowned, "Is it still not to your liking?"

Something is wrong... something is very wrong...

What does he want to do?

What is he holding back? Bad water!

No...I have to be careful.

Ji Zhiyang's throat gurgled twice, and he forced a smile, "Eat, of course I want to? Eat."

"Thank you, Your Highness." He picked up the chicken from the bowl and put it into his mouth.

If someone is diligent and attentive without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!

This? A dog thing? There must be something fishy going on. Be careful!

But I signed the agreement and agreed to the terms, what else does he want to do?!

He was thinking about all sorts of things while trying to eat his meal as elegantly as possible.

Sadly, the food tasted like chewing wax and was bland.

Gu Huai looked at him wolfing down the food, his eyes sparkling.

Seeing how caring I am for him, he must be touched by me!

Well, yes, that's it!

He should be made aware of the king's intentions, so that he doesn't think about other men day after day.

The king was also very good to him, why didn't he understand?

He pondered secretly, but his face showed no sign of it, and he continued to smile gently, "Eat slowly, don't choke."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty?"

The corners of Ji Zhiyang's mouth twitched and he gave a fake smile.

Gu Huai nodded and continued to pick up food for him.

Ji Zhiyang lowered his eyes, his heart beating faster.

He felt that Gu Huai's attention seemed to be all on him, constantly casting glances at him, as if he wanted to penetrate him, staring straight at him, making his heart beat fast.

What on earth does he want to do? !

What was Ji Zhiyang thinking? He was going crazy.

Gu Huaibing? Didn't notice his nervousness, but was still lost in her own thoughts.

The meal took a very long time.

Seeing Pei Ji coming in? Ji Zhiyang breathed a sigh of relief.

He couldn't wait to put down his chopsticks, "Prince, I'm done eating. Please enjoy your meal slowly." The implication was, I'm leaving.

Gu Huai nodded slightly.

Ji Zhiyang fled in a hurry, fearing that Gu Huai would change his mind and leave him behind?

Gu Huai looked at his receding back, with a slight smile on his face.

Pei Ji walked to the table and said respectfully, "Your Highness, the Third Prince has just sent someone over. Please come to the palace to discuss matters immediately."

My third brother just got married, why are you in such a hurry?

Could it be that... Gu Jing was raising his own soldiers? Is there any clue about this?

Gu Huai stood up and said, "Prepare the car."

"Yes." Pei Ji responded and retreated.

On the other side, Ji Zhiyang left the palace and went straight to Xianxiang Tower.

These few days, Han Jingzhi would wait for him to have dinner together. If he didn't come, he would wait. Today, he came a little late. I wonder if he was angry?

It was all Gu Huai's fault. He suddenly asked him to have dinner at home, which delayed him.

Thinking of this, Ji Zhiyang walked a little faster.

In a short while, he arrived at the Xianxiang Tower.

"I was delayed today. Have you had lunch yet?"

Ji Zhiyang stepped into Xianxianglou and saw a man standing in front of the tent with his back to him. His height and build were about the same as Han Jingzhi's. He thought it was Han Jingzhi, so he went up to ask.

Hearing the voice, the man standing in front of the tent slowly turned around.

Ji Zhiyang stood there in a daze.

Who is he?

Never seen it before!

Could it be a new guy?

No, he was wearing fine satin clothes, which were very expensive and definitely not something that an ordinary servant or shop assistant could afford. Moreover, his attire was even more extravagant than that of an ordinary young man, and he was definitely not an ordinary person.

Then who is he?

"you……"

Just as Ji Zhiyang was about to ask, the other party spoke first, "What would you like to eat, sir?"

Ji Zhiyang hesitated for a second.

Could it be that he is a new employee?

This? Are all the rich young men coming here to experience life these days?

"I don't want to eat. I'm here to see your shopkeeper."

Looking for Jingzhi?

Who is he?

The man looked at him with a bit of surprise, "Who are you, sir? What do you want to see my shopkeeper for?"

Ji Zhiyang was about to speak when he heard Han Jingzhi's voice coming from behind him, "Yangyang, you're here."

The man narrowed his eyes slightly.

Promote?

Could it be that he is Ji Zhiyang?

The way he looked at Ji Zhiyang became more and more strange, as if he had discovered a new continent.

Han Jingzhi came up to her with a big smile on his face. "Have you had your meal yet? I'll ask the kitchen to prepare it. What do you want to eat today?"

Ji Zhiyang waved his hands and said, "I've eaten."

After saying that, the man walked forward, got in front of Han Jingzhi, lowered his head and rubbed his shoulder, "Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for half a day." He looked aggrieved and did not hide his close contact with Han Jingzhi.

Ji Zhiyang stood aside, a little confused.

This? Who is this person?

Han Jingzhi pushed the man away, glared at him, and scolded him in a low voice: "How many times have I told you, outside? Don't come near me!"

The man curled his lips and muttered unwillingly, "What are you afraid of?"

Ji Zhiyang couldn't help but ask, "Who is this?"

"he……"

As soon as Han Jingzhi opened his mouth, the man said, "I'm his man!"

As he spoke, his hands naturally rested on Han Jingzhi's waist and he squeezed it.

ah?

man?

Didn’t Han Jingzhi say that he was dead?

...New? Found? It doesn't look like it!

Ji Zhiyang was unable to come back to his senses for a while. He just stared at Han Jingzhi in disbelief.

Han Jingzhi slapped the man's hand on his waist and said, "Get lost!"

The man chuckled twice and said, "I'm telling the truth!"

Ji Zhiyang opened and closed his mouth, but couldn't utter a word.

Han Jingzhi glanced at the man, then looked at Ji Zhiyang and said, "His name is Liao Yuan, just treat him as a colleague."

Anyway, he likes to come here when he has nothing to do? Serving the plate.

"What? Buddy, I'm his man!" Liao Yuan reached out to grab Han Jingzhi's waist again.

"Shut up! If you keep talking, I'll beat you up!"

Liao Yuan shrank his neck and shut up obediently.

Ji Zhi raised his head? He was stunned for a moment, looked at Han Jingzhi, and blurted out: "Didn't you say he was dead... Not dead?!" He looked at Liao Yuan in surprise, his eyes widened.

No, what's the matter?

What's wrong with him? Does he feel a little dizzy?

Han Jingzhi reached out to push Liao Yuan. Liao Yuan held his waist tightly, "What are you doing? Others said I was dead?" He squeezed his hand hard, questioning, "This? How many times has this happened? Why don't you give me some advice?"

He grumbled in dissatisfaction, looking extremely aggrieved.

Han Jingzhi frowned and said, "Let go! I have something important to do."

This? Who is here today? Why? Running?

Isn't that what you're talking about? How many days? Are you busy?

You didn't even tell me you were coming!

Liao Yuan said in a rude tone, "I don't care. You curse me again. You must accompany me today."

Ji Zhiyang stood aside, watching the interaction between the two, scratching his ears awkwardly, not knowing whether to sit or stand.

Han Jingzhi threatened: "Let go! Don't force me to beat you!"

"I won't. Unless you promise to accompany me today, I won't let you go."

"you!"

Han Jingzhi was so angry that he kicked over.

Liao Yuan had already prepared for it, he dodged to the side, then said with a playful smile: "So? Cruel? You want to murder your relatives..."

Han Jingzhi covered his mouth and said, "Stop it now, or I'll really punish you if you keep making trouble!"

Seeing that he seemed really angry, Liao Yuan snorted and let go of his hand angrily.

Han Jingzhi straightened his sleeves and glanced at Liao Yuan, "Go ask the kitchen to cook two dishes and send them to the private room on the second floor."

"Hmm?" Liao Yuan blinked, and suddenly reacted, "Oh." He walked happily to the back kitchen.

"Yangyang, let's go to the private room. Today? Let's have a couple of drinks."

Han Jingzhi grabbed Ji Zhiyang's arm and walked towards the private room on the second floor.

Ji Zhiyang was dragged away in a daze. He turned his head to look at Liao Yuan, and finally couldn't help asking, "What's going on between you two? Didn't you say he was dead? He was your omega, right?"

No, this is the normal world. This can only be said to be his other half.

Han Jingzhi pursed his lips, "He... yes, he is."

When the two of them arrived at the private room, Ji Zhiyang's previous shock and confusion were replaced by excitement and excitement, "You are quite handsome! You are not bad! How did you two meet?"

"What did he do? Why did you say he was dead before?"

Han Jingzhi calmly poured two cups of tea and handed one to Ji Zhiyang. He took a sip from one cup himself before slowly saying, "His name is Liao Yuan, he's a general. He saved me when I was in trouble when I came through."

No wonder!

But... he just clung to Han Jingzhi and acted coquettishly, and he really didn't look like a general...

Look at this? It looks like she loves Han Jingzhi very much.

If that's the case, why did Han Jingzhi say he was dead?

The more Ji Zhiyang thought about it, the more confused he became. "Why do you want to? Say he's dead?"

Han Jingzhi coughed twice awkwardly and touched the tip of his nose. "He...made me angry before, and we had a fight. I got angry for a moment, so I said he was dead..."

He doesn't want others to know his secret.

Ji Zhiyang raised his eyebrows, "You curse people to death when we have a quarrel?"

This? Temperament...

Absolutely!

"What do you know? This is the love between a couple." Han Jingzhi finished speaking, picked up the teacup and took a sip, hiding his inner turmoil. "Let's not talk about him. I heard that Yun Jin was injured, so I went to Xianpinju to see him today. Tan Yu hesitated and said that he was not in Xianpinju. I don't know how serious Yun Jin's injury is."

If he is not in Xianpinju, where can he go?

Ji Zhiyang asked concernedly, "Injured? Why was he injured?"

"I don't know the details. I asked Tan Yu, but he didn't want to tell me. Oh, forget it."

After saying that, Liao Yuan pushed the door open and came in with wine and food.

"The dishes are here!" Liao Yuan put the dishes down, sat down next to Han Jingzhi naturally, poured three glasses of wine, and handed them to the two of them respectively, "Boss Yun was only slightly injured in the Third Prince's Mansion, nothing serious."

The Three Princes' Palace?

Ji Zhiyang and Han Jingzhi looked at each other, both with expressions that said, "Is that so?"

Han Jingzhi asked: "What happened to him? Is he injured? Why? Did he go to the Third Prince's Palace again?"

"Could it be that Gu Quan beat him?!"

Liao Yuan tapped his forehead gently. "What nonsense are you talking about? He was injured by the Minister of Works, and it was the Third Prince who saved him."

Han Jingzhi was puzzled: "Why did the Minister of Works hurt him?"

Liao Yuan finished the wine in his glass in one gulp. "It seems that he fell in love with Boss Yun. When Boss Yun refused to comply, he forcibly abducted him back to his mansion."

"What a beast!" Han Jingzhi cursed, "How could a minister of the Ministry of Works do such a heartless thing? This is such a crazy thing, he is not worthy of being a human being!"

Ji Zhiyang was also angry.

Really worse than animals!

Liao Yuan put his arms around Han Jingzhi's waist and moved closer to him. "You worry about others but not me." He pretended to complain, "Last night, you bullied me for a long time..."

Han Jingzhi quickly covered his mouth, "Shut up!"

Ji Zhiyang: …

Not... this? Is this something I can listen to?

Don't you two avoid people?

This? That's really exciting!

Ji Zhiyang touched the tip of his nose and looked away embarrassedly.

Han Jingzhi pushed Liao Yuan to sit on the chair and said, "Go and get my plum blossom wine." Then he gave him an expression that said, "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will beat you up."

Liao Yuan muttered: "Okay, I'll go."

Han Jingzhi looked at Ji Zhiyang a little embarrassedly and coughed awkwardly, "I...he..." He poured him another glass of wine and changed the subject: "By the way, you today? Why? You came a little late?"

"I originally wanted to wait for you to go to Xianpinju together, but you wouldn't come anyway. I thought you might have something to do, so I went by myself."

"Don't mention it! My day? I almost couldn't get out."

"Why?"

Ji Zhiyang chuckled as he held the wine glass in his hand. "It's all because of Gu Huai. He wouldn't let me out, so I said I didn't want to be his attendant. He asked me to pay him 100,000 taels of gold. What's the matter? The rent, the firewood, and what else? The broken jade bottle..."

He slammed the wine glass in his hand onto the table, extremely angry: "He is clearly taking advantage of the opportunity to blackmail me and force me to sign a contract to sell my body! He just wants me to be a slave in the palace!"

That bastard! A beast! He is not even a human being!

Ji Zhiyang was so angry that he drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.

Han Jingzhi laughed and poured him another glass. "He is not blackmailing you! He obviously likes you and doesn't want you to leave. He wants to keep you by his side, but he is too embarrassed to ask for it, so he can only come here to do it."

"What? The indenture is all a cover. Look at you, you live such a carefree life. You eat, drink and have fun every day, and when you come home, there are people to serve you. You don't look like a slave, but more like a half-master."
