When the lights were turned on, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually decreased. However, at night, there was a shop that was in full swing. The shop was brightly lit, not much different from the daytime. In fact, it was even noisier than the daytime. This was none other than the Carefree Pavilion. And tonight, one of the people who were supposed to be preparing for the wedding had come here, and was currently at the Yulan Pavilion.
"Your highness, it's so boring to have wine without music. Why don't you let Yao Lian play a song for your highness?”Yao Lian came with her zither in her arms. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised, and her lips were curled up in a smile that made one's heart melt. She moved to the table in the corner of the room and placed the zither on it. Then, she walked back to the round table in the middle of the room and sat beside Gu Zeyan, pouring him wine.
"I'm not listening to music today. I'm just drinking." Gu Zeyan glanced at Yao Lian and pulled Yao Lian over to sit on his lap. He poured himself a cup and raised his head to drink. He lifted Yao Lian's chin with the cup. There was a hint of evilness in his smile as he said in a low, drunken voice," Drink with me."”
"Your Highness, do you have something on your mind today?”Yao Lian saw that Gu Zeyan was acting strangely. The smile at the corner of her mouth froze, and then fell. Her face became serious and she began to ask carefully.
"Did you hear that the fifteenth of this month is this king's wedding?”Gu Zeyan put down the wine cup he had raised. Yao Lian immediately poured him a cup of wine. He picked up the cup again and drank it. Although he was smiling, it made people feel inexplicably cold.
"Do you want Yao Lian to visit the future princess at night?”Yao Lian immediately understood. It turned out that his highness was unhappy, so he came here to drink.
"No need, this king will go personally in a while.”Gu Zeyan paused for a moment and asked Yao Lian to fill the cup again. His slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a light, like a hunter who had found his prey.
"Then your highness, don't be too greedy." Surprise flashed across Yao Lian's eyes, but he immediately returned to his original state and snatched the jug of wine. He raised his head and poured the wine into his mouth. His actions were naturally seductive and made people's hearts flutter. It was a pity that the person sitting in front of him was Prince Xiao Yao, Gu Zeyan. Otherwise, anyone could have directly pressed him onto the bed.
"Right, Your Highness. That old man, Lengqin, wanted to pocket the money for the disaster relief.”Yao Lian finished the wine in the wine pot and placed it on the table. At the same time, she whispered into Gu Zeyan's ear.
"Robbed by this king to buy food for disaster relief.”Gu Zeyan frowned. Another corrupt official.
When Gu Zeyan heard the night watchman's voice, he mercilessly pushed Yao Lian away and walked to the window. He pushed open the window and looked up at the sky. It was already past midnight. It was time to visit this king's princess. A haze flashed across his eyes, and the smile on his lips made people fearful and cold.
" Your Highness..." Yao Lian was suddenly pushed away and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, he quickly sat back on the chair and looked at Gu Zeyan, who was confused. He saw him walk to the window and look at the sky. He knew what he meant and smiled charmingly." So Your Highness can't wait to see the Princess Consort."”
Gu Zeyan ignored Yao Lian's words and didn't need to say anything to him. He directly went out of the window and flew to the Xiao Mansion. Standing on the roof, he thought about the map of the Xiao Mansion that Baili had given him not long ago. He identified the location of the rumored Elegant Pavilion and went to the Elegant Pavilion. Just as he was about to enter and investigate, he saw a black shadow fly out of the window.
Oh? It turned out that his beloved concubine's martial arts were extraordinary. After Gu Zeyan saw that the black shadow was Xiao Qingya, he followed with an evil smile. He wanted to see where his beloved concubine wanted to go so late at night. Gu Zeyan followed him to the cemetery not far away. He couldn't help but feel a little surprised, but he didn't intend to go closer. He just stopped on a tree not far away, just enough to hear what he said.
Xiao Qingya came to the cemetery and gently stroked the tombstone. A gentle breeze blew past Xiao Qingya's smooth long hair, and a faint smile finally appeared on her indifferent face." Mother, I finally left that place. Are you happy?"”
"Mother, from now on, I think I won't be able to see you again.”He raised his head to look at the moon. The sadness in his eyes made people want to comfort him. He looked at the tombstone deeply and turned around. He didn't want to stay any longer and went straight to the Flower Rain Pavilion not far away.
"Friend, what brings you here?”Xiao Qingya's black clothes were torn apart. In the dark night, her white and clean face was slightly pale. She was extremely calm when she spoke to others. She was neither annoyed by eavesdropping nor nervous because of danger.
"Hehe, Young Master Xiao has good hearing. When did Young Master Xiao know that I was following you?”Gu Zeyan came down from the tree. Since the other party had already recognized him, there was no need for him to hide anymore. He was just a little surprised that his kung fu was on par with his, which seemed to be inconsistent with the information he had reported.
"From the moment we left the cemetery." Xiao Qingya sat on a stone chair and looked at the person in white who was wearing the opposite of her.
Young Master, aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?" Gu Zeyan raised his eyebrows. Seeing that Xiao Qingya was not panicking, he wanted to tear off that cold mask.
"If Young Master wanted to make a move, he would have done so long ago at the cemetery.”Xiao Qingya took off the flute from her back and no longer asked Gu Zeyan why he was following her. She just gently played the flute.
Gu Zeyan was still standing not far away, waiting for his question. However, before he could hear Xiao Qingya's voice, he heard Xiao Qingya's flute. Gu Zeyan had a rare interest in Xiao Qingya. This rare silence made Gu Zeyan lean against the tree and close his eyes to listen quietly. After the song ended, Gu Zeyan felt that he had not had enough.
"Young Master, I've heard everything, so I'll take my leave first.”Xiao Qingya left Xiao Zang behind and disappeared from the cemetery, just like when she came, regardless of whether the unknown person behind her would sneak attack her.
"This king's future princess is really interesting.”Gu Zeyan looked mockingly at the disappearing figure.
Xiao mansion
"Why isn't Young Master back yet?" Feng Shang muttered to himself anxiously. In the past, Young Master would have already returned by this time. He had just finished muttering when he saw Xiao Qingya had already returned to the house.
"Young Master, you're finally back." Feng Shang immediately ran forward and poured a cup of tea for Xiao Qingya, his worried heart finally relaxing.
"Has Master come over?" Xiao Qingya sat at the table and took a sip of the tea he served.
"Master is a little strange today and hasn't come yet.”Feng Shang felt that it was a little strange.
"Feng Shang, go and rest." Xiao Qingya looked at the tea in her cup and didn't touch it. She thought it was better if he didn't come. It was already late at night, and it was time for him to rest.
"Yes." Feng Shang left after making the bed.
As soon as Feng Shang left, Xiao Ruo Jun came to Xiao Qingya's door. He hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door, thinking about how to persuade him to take over the task.
"Ya 'er, are you asleep?" Xiao Ruojun thought for a moment and asked.
"Not yet." When Xiao Qingya heard that Xiao Ruojun had come, she heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that she really had something to tell him. She stood up and opened the door to let her father in.
"Ya 'er, you have to be more alert when you get there.”Xiao Ruojun thought about it and decided to hint at him first. If it didn't work, he would tell him directly.
"Your Highness might not come to see me. Father is worrying for nothing.”When Xiao Qingya heard this, she understood that he wanted her to be the secret agent of the Imperial Residence. However, she did not understand that he did not want to be like this, so she easily blocked it.
" Ya 'er, you..." Xiao Ruojun didn't know what to say. After all, he still had a little conscience and knew that he had let him down first.
"Father, it's getting late. If Father doesn't go to Third Concubine's place soon, Third Concubine will be angry.”Xiao Qingya really didn't want to get involved in this too deep of an officialdom. Even if she was already involved, she just wanted to watch coldly.
"Ai, Ya 'er, your wedding is in three days. You have to think carefully.”Xiao Ruojun looked at his son who was still cold. It seemed that hinting and persuading him was useless. He should think of other ways. Suddenly, he thought of his capable subordinate Meng Jun. It was better to let him go to the prince's mansion as a spy. He could monitor Gu Zeyan's actions and Xiao Qingya's defection. He said to him," Ya 'er, bring Meng Jun along."”
"It's all up to Father." Xiao Qingya's heart sank. It seemed that her father still didn't trust him. Otherwise, why would he send someone to monitor her? Although he was disappointed in Xiao Ruojun, he didn't show any expression on his face.
