"Lichen is a chef to begin with. I want Brother Su to introduce me to a place where I can eat and stay.”Shui Lichen replied calmly.
"Not in the Su residence?" Gu Zeyan raised his eyebrows and asked with a glint in his eyes.
"You can't snatch the rice bowl of the Su family's servants.”Shui Lichen replied in a neither servile nor overbearing manner as he fiddled with the pheasant in his hand.
"Yes, it's delicious." Xiaobei didn't care about this. She was full of praise as she ate.
"Eat slowly." Shui Shi helped Xiao Bei to wipe the dirt off the corner of her mouth.
"Not bad indeed. Butler Baili, is our family short of people?”Gu Zeyan took a bite and also felt that it was not bad. If such a person was not an enemy, he was willing to take him in. Even if he was an enemy, it would be best to keep him by his side.
"If it's a chef, it's missing.”Baili Qingkong knew what Gu Zeyan was trying to say after thinking about it, so he answered without hesitation.
"Then is Lichen willing to come to my house to be a chef?”Gu Zeyan handed the cut piece to Xiao Qingya and asked without looking up.
"Thank you, Young Master Gu." Lichen bowed his head in thanks.
"Lichen, why are you so polite?" Xiao Qingya also felt that the taste was comparable to the best chef in the capital. Moreover, he believed that Gu Zeyan would be able to handle Shui Lichen's matter.
After they finished eating, they found a place to rest. The moonlight shone on them in the forest. The cool breeze swept the leaves in the forest and made a rustling sound. Gu Zeyan, who was sleeping beside Xiao Qingya, suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw that everyone was asleep, he turned his head and patted Xiao Qingya gently.
"Qingya, Qingya, wake up, wake up.”Gu Zeyan whispered in Xiao Qingya's ear.
" Uh…" Xiao Qingya rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked," What's wrong?"”
"Follow me." Gu Zeyan pulled Xiao Qingya into the forest.
When Gu Zeyan pulled Xiao Qingya away, Shui Lichen also opened his eyes. He quietly looked at the person who was sleeping and quietly left. After taking a few steps, he turned around and saw that no one was following him. He mimicked a pigeon's cry and soon, someone came down from the tree.
"What is the mission this time?" Shui Lichen asked the person behind him. His eyes were still looking around vigilantly.
"Master wants you to wait for an opportunity." The man in black immediately flew into the darkness.
Shui Lichen saw that the black-robed man had left and quickly turned around to walk back. Before he could walk back, he saw Baili Qingkong walking over. He immediately stopped in his tracks and guessed if Baili Qingkong had heard him. He was prepared to fight at any time.
"Where did you go?" Baili Qingkong stared into Shui Lichen's eyes.
"Go relieve yourself." Shui Lichen replied calmly.
"You'd better not do anything." Baili Qingkong warned Shui Lichen before turning around and walking back.
Gu Zeyan and Xiao Qingya were walking deep into the forest. Xiao Qingya didn't understand why Gu Zeyan wanted to drag him here at this hour, but since Gu Zeyan wanted to come, she would accompany him. Xiao Qingya only understood Gu Zeyan's thoughts when the two of them walked to the hot spring. The hot spring looked even more hazy under the moonlight, like a paradise on earth.
"We're here. This is the place." Gu Zeyan pointed at the hot spring in front of him.
" This…" Xiao Qingya looked at Gu Zeyan in surprise.
"You've just recovered from a serious illness. Go and wash up.”After Gu Zeyan finished speaking, he turned around and carried Xiao Qingya so that Xiao Qingya could be at ease. Then, he thought about how both of them were grown men. What was there to carry? Thinking of this, Gu Zeyan also took off his clothes and went into the water to walk towards Xiao Qingya.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Qingya had just gotten out of the hot spring to relax when she saw Gu Zeyan walking over. He frowned and asked warily.
"Shower." Gu Zeyan ignored him after he finished speaking and started taking a bath beside him. Perhaps the hot spring water was too warm, or perhaps the scenery was intoxicating, but Xiao Qingya had already fallen asleep by the side of the spring. Her breathing was even, and she was as quiet and beautiful as the Goddess Luo in the water.
His originally fair cheeks were flushed red from the hot spring, and his long eyelashes covered his clear and quiet eyes. His defenseless sleeping face was like a newborn baby's in front of Gu Zeyan.
Gu Zeyan had just picked Xiao Qingya up when he saw Xiao Qingya snuggle into his arms. After finding a more comfortable position, he fell asleep again. Gu Zeyan chuckled silently." Am I going to let you off guard like this?"”
He got up and carried Xiao Qingya to the shore. He gently put Xiao Qingya down and helped her put on her clothes without affecting her. He felt something was wrong as soon as he put on his inner clothes. He didn't have time to put on his outer robe. He hugged Xiao Qingya in his arms and looked around vigilantly.
"Come out." He looked at Xiao Qingya who was still sleeping in his arms.
A figure dashed out from the forest, stabbing towards Gu Zeyan with a silver sword. Gu Zeyan immediately used his internal strength to dodge. He tapped his toes and jumped backward. Just as he thought that he had dodged the attack, he suddenly realized that this person had not used all his strength. He suddenly saw that person turn his wrist and stab horizontally with his sword. Gu Zeyan forcefully gathered his inner strength and hid in the tree. When he turned around and prepared to fight with that person, the figure had already disappeared without a trace.
"Where is he?" Gu Zeyan looked around and muttered to himself.
"Who is it?" Xiao Qingya had already woken up and asked.
"Ah, nothing. My beloved consort is awake?" Gu Zeyan had already confirmed that there was no one around, so he was in the mood to tease people again.
"Where is this?" Xiao Qingya had yet to recover from her shock as she was still in Gu Zeyan's arms. She asked in a daze.
"Seeing my beloved consort sleeping so soundly, this king carried my beloved consort and walked around.”Anyway, there was no one around, so no one would hear him.
"Walk around? Aren't you afraid that someone will come to assassinate you?" Xiao Qingya had already returned to her original state of mind.
"Why not? We just tried to assassinate him.”Gu Zeyan was so light that only he could hear it.
"What did you say?" Xiao Qingya didn't hear him and asked again.
"Ah, it's nothing. Since my beloved consort has already woken up, then let's go back.”Gu Zeyan hugged Xiao Qingya and walked back.
Only then did Xiao Qingya come back to her senses and realize that she was in Gu Zeyan's arms. She frowned." Your Highness, aren't you afraid that Gu Zeluo will be angry at you if you hug me like this?"”
"Xiao Qingya, you're not worthy of mentioning his name. You're not allowed to mention his name in front of this king in the future. Remember, you're just a concubine, this king can cripple you at any time.”When Gu Zeyan heard the name Gu Zeluo, his whole body trembled. The pity in his heart completely disappeared, and coldness appeared in his eyes. He pinched Xiao Qingya's chin and said coldly.
"This Xiao is just reminding Your Highness." Xiao Qingya's jaw was in pain from being pinched, but she frowned and looked at the person in front of her fearlessly.
"It's best not to make this king unhappy. Otherwise, this king can't guarantee that he will do anything to the 'wangfei.'”Gu Zeyan deliberately emphasized the word 'princess consort' to Xiao Qingya.
"This Xiao has made your highness unhappy, so just cripple this Xiao.”Xiao Qingya pushed away the hand that was still pinching her chin and walked back. She didn't care if the person behind her was angry or if he would do anything to her.
When Xiao Qingya returned to Baili Qingkong's side, she chose a place furthest away from Gu Zeyan and sat down. She turned around and fell asleep with a frown. She couldn't tell where the sourness in her heart came from, and she also couldn't understand why she felt disappointed when Gu Zeyan said that she wasn't worthy of mentioning Gu Zeluo's name. She couldn't help but laugh at herself.
He, Xiao Qingya, was nothing. He was just a child who was abandoned by his family. He was locked in politics and could not escape. It was time to wake up. He, Xiao Qingya, didn't need to feel sad for anyone other than Feng Shang. He, Xiao Qingya, didn't need anyone's feelings. Feelings? He, Xiao Qingya, would one day talk about feelings? How ridiculous, how ridiculous. As he thought about it, he couldn't help but laugh mockingly.
Gu Zeyan, who was sitting on the other side, was also annoyed. He was annoyed that Xiao Qingya had suddenly mentioned Gu Zeluo when he was in a good mood. He suddenly realized that he didn't like to mention Gu Zeluo at this time. He just wanted him to be cruel to Xiao Qingya. He didn't understand why it was like this. Now, he could only stay away from him and calm himself down.
However, when they were not paying attention to him, there was a flash of gloom in Shui Lichen's eyes. He turned to look at Baili Qingkong beside him and no one knew what he was thinking. However, it seemed that there was a conflict between the two of them. If he could pick a fight, he might be able to let the two of them fight. However, Baili Qingkong should not be easy to deal with.
