Chapter 68: He has the right to know the truth

Gu Huai's steps paused.

The word "marriage" made his eardrums buzz. His mind flashed back to the time of Chunlie. He expressed his feelings to Emperor Yizhen, and Gu Jing provoked him. Emperor Yizhen offered him a marriage, but he refused. Emperor Yizhen was furious. The sentence "As a prince, how can you marry a man! If you insist on doing this, he will not survive tomorrow" was still ringing in his ears.

If he insists on refusing, what will happen if the emperor really kills him?

He knew his father's character and did not dare to gamble.

If he really offended his father, and his father punished him, Ji Zhiyang would be in danger.

He can't bear the consequences?

Gu Huai closed his eyes and was silent for a while. Then he said in a hoarse voice: "I...he...will not tell him yet."

He said he would not marry or take concubines, but he broke his promise. He didn't know how to face Ji Zhiyang, nor how to tell him all this.

Gu Quan looked at his tired profile. "How long can such a big thing be kept secret? Instead of letting him learn about it from others, why not tell him first and then find a chance to explain it to him clearly? It's much better than letting him learn everything from others later."

If he had known this truth earlier, or told Yun Jin earlier, he wouldn't be suffering like he is today.

Gu Huai did not agree.

Gu Quan continued: "If you don't tell him, others will tell him. Why don't you take the initiative to speak up?"

Gu Huai clenched his fists.

What the third brother said makes sense. Ji Zhiyang will know it sooner or later.

But... he didn't know how to start.

The two talked for a few more words, and then saw Yun Fu and Jiang Lang walking quickly towards them.

After seeing the two, he bowed and saluted: "Third Prince, Fourth Prince."

Gu Huai waved his hand, and Jiang Lang followed Yun Fu to the bedroom.

Gu Huai and Gu Quan came to the study room. After sitting down, Gu Huai looked at Gu Quan with complicated eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke: "Brother, I heard that Li Hua went to Xianpinju to cause trouble for Yun Jin again while we were away, and even hurt him. Do you know about this?"

Gu Quan paused while drinking tea, and was stunned for a few seconds before saying: "I don't know, is he injured? Is it serious?" His tone was anxious, revealing his concern and worry.

"I don't know the details, I just know that Li Hua brought people to cause trouble and injured someone."

If Ji Zhiyang hadn't told him, he wouldn't have known that Li Hua had the guts to do such a beastly thing in broad daylight.

He actually hurt Ji Zhiyang like that. The bruises on his arm were shocking. He didn't even dare to think about the pain Ji Zhiyang had endured at that time.

Gu Huai felt an unbearable pain in his heart, and he tightened his grip on the teacup. He caught a glimpse of Gu Quan's gloomy and cold expression, with a hint of hostility between his brows.

He put down the teacup, "Li Hua is too arrogant. If we don't teach him a lesson, he will never remember it!"

Gu Quan's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and he placed the teacup heavily on the table, "Li Hua is getting more and more daring, and he doesn't even take me seriously!"

You dare to bully my people?!

It seems that the loss of one of his arms is still a relief!

I don't know what happened to Yun Jinru?

Where is the injury? Is it serious?

The last injury had not yet healed, and this time he had a new injury. How could he be so afraid of pain... Gu Quan felt sour and a little guilty. He should not have been angry and withdrawn the people who were secretly monitoring Xianpinju.

He thought that after what happened last time, Li Hua would definitely restrain himself and not dare to provoke Yun Jin again.

Who would have thought that Li Hua didn't take him seriously at all and continued to act lawless.

Thinking of Yun Jin's injury, Gu Quan's chest was filled with anger and self-blame. If he had been more careful and not gotten angry with him, Li Hua would never have had the chance to hurt Yun Jin again.

Gu Quan slammed the table and stood up, "I think his career as the Minister of Industry has come to an end!"

Challenging his bottom line again and again!

Having said this, he walked out.

Gu Huai hurriedly chased after him and stopped him, "Brother, where are you going?"

Before he knew about the relationship between Third Brother and Yun Jin, he was still able to dissuade him. But now that he had guessed Third Brother's thoughts, how could he stop him?

But this matter should not be acted on impulse. If Gu Jing's people find out that I am wrong and impeach me, my father will be furious.

Gu Quan patted Gu Huai's arm and said, "Don't worry, I know how to handle this matter. Li Hua is corrupt and has taken bribes, and has committed corruption for personal gain. We don't need to do anything. Father will not let him off. "

Gu Huai was relieved? Anger, what happened just now? For a moment, he thought that his third brother couldn't hold back and wanted to go to Li Hua to settle the score. He was too suspicious. His third brother was a careful person and would never do anything rash and impulsive.

Gu Quan patted Gu Huai's shoulder and said, "You should have a good rest. I will go back home first."

Gu Huai nodded and watched Gu Quan leave.

Chuzhou saw his own prince coming out and immediately went to greet him, "Prince, the princess said she will wait for you to come back for dinner."

Gu Quan hummed lightly, his face showing no joy. Chuzhou quietly raised his head and glanced at Gu Quan. Seeing a hint of sadness between his brows, he couldn't help but frown. I wonder what's wrong with the prince?

Chuzhou Dao? "Prince, shall we go back home?"

Gu Quan turned around and got on the carriage, whispering, "Let's go to Xianpinju."

Gu Huai sat quietly in the study for a long time, holding the book in his hand but not turning a page?, his heart was in a mess, until he heard a knock on the door?, he came to his senses, put down the book, and said, "Come in."

Yun Fu pushed the door open and walked in, saying respectfully, "Your Highness, Imperial Doctor Jiang has examined Master Ji and said there is nothing serious."

Gu Huai nodded slightly and asked, "Where are the others?"

Yun Fu naturally knew who he was asking about, and replied: "Master Ji is in the kitchen, and he said he would prepare the meal for you personally."

"He..." Gu Huai wanted to say that there was no need to prepare it specially for him, and he could just let the servants prepare it. But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back, "Got it? Go on."

After Yunfu left, Gu Huai leaned back in his chair and rubbed his forehead. He still didn't know how to tell Ji Zhiyang about the marriage proposal.

If I tell him, will he just leave?

If I don't tell him today, how long can I keep it a secret from him?

He had a swollen head and was upset. He had never felt so conflicted before. He also didn't understand why he suddenly became so unlike himself.

He looked out the window. The sky was gradually darkening. The setting sun was setting in the west. The remaining red was reflected on the window paper. The setting sun covered the entire courtyard, like a layer of golden gauze covering the sky above the palace.

He took a deep breath. Now that he had made up his mind, he could no longer hesitate. He would have to tell her sooner or later anyway, so he might as well tell her everything at once.

Gu Huai picked up the pen, and just as he started writing, the door of the study was pushed open. He looked up and saw Ji Zhiyang walking in.

Ji Zhiyang smiled and slowly approached Gu Huai, "Are you still busy?"

Gu Huai grabbed his forearm, pulled him into his arms, hugged his waist, and murmured, "No hurry."

He hugged her very tightly, as if he was afraid that if he loosened his grip a little, Ji Zhiyang would leave. Feeling Ji Zhiyang's warm breath blowing on his ears, he said hoarsely, "I... have something to tell you."

Ji Zhiyang raised his head and looked at Gu Huai with gentle eyes, "What's the matter?"

Gu Huai pursed his lips, the words lingered in his throat for a long time, but he still couldn't say it?

He was afraid that if he opened his mouth, Ji Zhiyang would leave without looking back.

Seeing that Gu Huai didn't say anything for a long time, Ji Zhi frowned and asked, "What's the matter?"

Gu Huai lowered his eyelids to hide the struggle in his heart.

He does have the right to know the truth. This matter cannot be kept secret. Instead of letting Ji Zhiyang hear it from somewhere else, it is better to tell him as soon as possible to avoid him getting hurt again!

"I……"

Gu Huai had just opened his mouth when Ji Zhiyang spoke first: "Sale contract?!" He turned his head and saw the yellow paper on the table with three big characters written on it.

Gu Huai was startled and sniffed at his neck. He was planning to write a contract of sale, sign it with Ji Zhiyang, and then explain to him the fact that they were going to get married? Just as he wrote a few words, Ji Zhiyang came in.

"Didn't I agree to sign a contract to sell me to you last time? Have you forgotten?"

Gu hugged Ji Zhiyang, buried his face in his neck, and rubbed him gently twice, like a little kitten acting coquettishly.

Ji Zhiyang gently pushed him twice, his cheeks slightly red, and muttered: "I don't want it."

I thought that? Shit? was just a casual remark, but I didn't expect that this person actually took it seriously. How could a prince sign a contract to sell his body?

But? Ji Zhiyang felt sweet inside, sweeter than eating candied fruit.

Gu Huai raised his head and stared into Ji Zhiyang's eyes, "No, I have to give up!" He tightened his grip on Ji Zhiyang's hand. "If you sign, you won't say anything about leaving me in the future."

Ji Zhiyang's heartbeat quickened a little, and his cheeks flushed. "When did I ever tell you that I was leaving you?"

How come this person looks nothing like before?

How come after going out, I become? More shameless.

Gu Huai pointed at his own lips, staring at Ji Zhiyang with burning eyes, unblinking, "Then? Kiss me."

Ji Zhiyang was too embarrassed to say anything, but Gu Huai refused to let him go? He forced him to lower his head, "Kiss me!"

Ji Zhiyang lowered his head and kissed him on the lips. As soon as he moved away, Gu Huai grabbed the back of his head and forcefully deepened the kiss.

His kiss was rapid, and his tongue seemed to be on fire, entwining around the tip of Ji Zhiyang's tongue, stirring and sucking.

The two had been separated for seven days, and their longing for each other had already filled their hearts. Now they were kissing each other? They wished they could devour each other.

Gu Huai's hand reached into Ji Zhiyang's collar, and touched the lines on his chest through the thin fabric. His other hand untied his belt, took off his long shirt and threw it on the ground...

Ji Zhiyang's breathing became heavier, and he held Gu Huai's hand, "Don't, don't do this... go back to the room."

Gu Huai kissed his earlobe and said, "Okay." Then he carried him back to the bedroom.

As soon as they entered the room, Ji Zhiyang kissed him on the lips. Gu Huai responded while holding him towards the bed. Ji Zhiyang became more and more excited. His palm slid from Gu Huai's neck to his lower abdomen and kneaded it...

Gu Huai's body shuddered, his throat moved twice, "You..."

Ji Zhiyang's lips pressed against Gu Huai's again, blocking his words. Their hot skin intertwined with each other, like dry wood meeting a raging fire, crackling and burning.

Gu Huai felt hot all over, so he reached out to take off Ji Zhiyang's clothes, pushed him down on the bed, leaned over and kissed Ji Zhiyang, covered his body with his big hands, and moved down inch by inch...

Ji Zhiyang breathed heavily, and he hooked his arms around Gu Huai's neck, pulling him down. Their lips and teeth merged into one, and they kissed? More and more crazily...
