"I'm glad you understand. Then go out and have fun. I, an old woman, won't disturb your fun."
The old lady patted his hands again, and then left with her people in a grand manner.
Gu Fei looked at the old lady who left in a sedan chair carried by eight men and was surrounded by countless servants, and shook his head and clicked his tongue.
Isn't it necessary to make such a big fuss just to come over and say a few words to him?
This is still in the Prime Minister's Mansion. If it were in Prince Gu Yuan's Mansion, I don't know how extravagant it would be.
It seems that his lavish spending on breakfast was a good decision!
After leaving the house, Gu Fei looked at the four servants following him on horseback and waved his hand unhappily: "Follow from a distance, don't come too close."
The four servants responded and obediently kept a distance from him.
At the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion sat a majestic stone lion, about twice as tall as him.
Two guards stood on both sides of the gate with swords hanging from their waists, their eyes as sharp as lightning and their shadows as thin as pine and cypress.
Walking eastward along the main road and going downhill, the view suddenly opens up and becomes bustling.
Gu Fei stopped the carriage and walked with Xiaomei, strolling around.
Unfortunately, there was really nothing to see in ancient times.
Gu Fei soon became annoyed.
"Go get a carriage and let's go back."
Suddenly, Xiaomei sighed and said, "Sir, there seems to be a temple up ahead. I want to go there and burn incense and pray to God for help, so that the prince can change his mind and be devoted to the young lady!"
Xiaomei clasped her hands together and prayed to God.
Don’t do that!
He also hoped to find an opportunity to help Man Xingyue get rid of the damn prince.
Bullshit about being wholeheartedly devoted.
Man Xingyue is as young as a flower, has a face as beautiful as a flower, and has the noble status of the leader. She can marry any man she wants. Only a fool would hang herself on such a crooked tree.
What's more, although she was the one who harassed the prince first, she had already taken poison for him. It was only right that he should come and take a look, right?
But this prince is so heartless that he has not yet appeared. Don't even think about changing his mind. If he doesn't cause trouble for him when he sees him, he will be considered a virtuous man!
In fact, Gu Fei had wrongly blamed King Gu Yuan in this matter.
King Gu Yuan was actually completely unaware of Man Xingyue's suicide by taking poison.
On the day of Man Xingyue’s birthday banquet, King Gu Yuan took Feng Yan away and never came to the Prime Minister’s Mansion again.
Because he was afraid that he would encounter a crying Man Xingyue as soon as he arrived at the Prime Minister's Mansion, he wanted to wait a few days until she calmed down.
Fortunately, Man Xingyue was lucky and came back to life after eating the expired poison.
Although he survived, it was still a big deal. The Prime Minister's Office tried its best to suppress the news and kept it under wraps.
Even the unreliable servants in the Prime Minister's Mansion were all dealt with.
So King Gu Yuan never knew about it.
At this time, Prince Gu Yuan bid farewell to the old lady and headed towards the Prime Minister's residence.
When he walked to the gate of the yard where Man Xingyue was, he was stunned.
He even looked back with his hands behind his back to make sure he had not taken the wrong path before turning his gaze back to the yard.
What hits your nose is the faint fragrance of flowers and plants with a hint of earth.
As I walked in, I saw that the yard, which was previously filled with various flowers, trees and rockery, was suddenly empty.
The bluestone-paved road meanders along the pond. A few rugged rocks beside the stone table, set against the clear water and white orchids, look fresh and clean.
Is this the yard of that messy Lord Manxingyue?
"My Lord, the young lady is bathing."
Two little maids discovered him and hurried over to pay their respects and report the news.
King Gu Yuan did not respond and walked straight to the outer hall.
He heard that Man Xingyue entertained a savior, and that savior actually destroyed his calligraphy and paintings.
He wanted to see whether the calligraphy and paintings that Man Xingyue had begged from him with such desperate intent had really been taken away by this nosy savior.
When he walked onto the porch, he saw from afar a figure in red carrying a tray hurriedly heading into the house.
He took two quick steps to stop the red figure: "Hongju."
When Hongju suddenly heard the prince's voice, his heart skipped a beat. He looked up in surprise and saw that it was really the prince standing in front of him. His knees softened and he knelt down at once.
The red peaches on the tray rolled to the ground, and he hurried to pick them up in a panic.
King Gu Yuan stood there with his hands behind his back, watching her kneel down to pick up the things with an expressionless face before he spoke: "Is the story about the lifesaver true?"
Hongju knelt down and replied, "Your Highness, it's all true!"
"Humph, even if he's my savior, he's just an ordinary citizen. Tell him I want to see him."
After saying that, he walked around Hongju and went straight to the outer hall.
Only when the footsteps gradually faded away and could no longer be heard did Hongju soften her body, pick up the tray, and quickly walk into the inner room.
Gu Fei had just returned from outside and was currently lying on the bed, being massaged by several maids.
When he heard footsteps, he reached out his hand without opening his eyes.
A peach was placed in his palm. He picked it up and started to eat it. Just after taking two bites, he heard Hongju standing beside him say, "Sir, the prince is here and wants to see you."
Gu Fei was about to eat a peach when he heard this and uttered a sigh of relief: "He doesn't come when he should, and comes to bother me when he shouldn't. Let him wait!"
So, we waited for a quarter of an hour.
Only after Gu Fei washed off the dust and rearranged his hair did he come to the outer hall refreshed.
At this time, the outer hall was bathed in the evening sunset. A tall man stood with his hands behind his back, his black hair tied behind his head with a dark blue headband, looking a little unrestrained and rebellious.
His sturdy figure was wrapped in a red and black robe. He was facing the door with his back, looking at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.
Seeing that the prince had clearly heard the young master coming in but didn't turn around, Hongju kindly reminded him, "Your Highness, the young master is here."
Gu Fei ignored all this, walked straight to the table, sat down, and poured himself a bowl of tea.
After drinking half a bowl, King Gu Yuan finally had enough of the calligraphy and paintings on the wall, and turned around to focus his gaze on him.
Gu Fei raised his head and glanced at him coldly. This look was like a bolt of lightning!
no!
Wait a moment!
This is fucking wrong!
He didn't know who this guy was, but logically speaking, shouldn't it be Ye Wentian?
Even if it wasn't Ye Wentian, it should be some other weird man. But why did the man standing in front of him look exactly like him?
This is the ancient version of Gu Fei!
What a psycho!
Man Xingyue, you are a weird woman with a hole in your brain. You dreamed that you were bullied by a man, cheated on by a man, and even committed suicide by taking poison for this man. Why don’t you just replace your face with someone else’s? How can you use his face?
I'm not a scumbag!
But what surprised him even more was that Prince Gu Yuan looked exactly like him, yet none of the maids present could tell the difference?
It is indeed a dream, it is indeed absurd and there is indeed no logic at all.
