Tonight was destined to be a restless night. Mo Xi sneaked back to the Free and Unfettered Pavilion and gathered all of Gu Zeyan's subordinates in the Free and Unfettered Pavilion to convey the king's orders. When the night watchman reached the third watch, Mo Xi quietly brought everyone from the Carefree Pavilion to the Xiao Manor. She looked at the signboard of the Xiao Manor and whispered to them," Remember, except for Xiao Ruojun, everyone else-kill!"”
The people behind Mo Xi nodded in unison and entered the Xiao residence without a sound. In less than an hour, the Xiao family was killed in their sleep, and Xiao Ruojun was captured in his sleep. After they tied Xiao Ruojun up and came out, Mo Xi threw a torch into the Xiao residence. A fire destroyed all traces of the Xiao residence. The only thing the neighbors knew was that the Xiao family was mysteriously caught in a fire in the middle of the night. Everyone was burned to death in their homes, and no one came out alive.
Gu Zeyan and Xiao Qingya played chess for the whole night. It was not until dawn that the door was knocked. Gu Zeyan looked at Xiao Qingya, who was still calm across from him. When he answered the door and let the person outside come in, Xiao Qingya's face was still indifferent.
"Wangye, the Xiao family caught fire and all of them were burned to death.”An exquisite man walked in. He looked at Gu Zeyan, then at Xiao Qingya, and said to them with a bow.
Xiao Qingya's originally calm expression had turned pale and powerless at this moment, and because she had not had a good rest in recent days, she looked even paler. Her eyes did not hide the pain and despair in her heart. Her eyes were slightly lowered, but she had nowhere to speak. The chess piece in her hand finally fell, and her hands trembled unconsciously. At this moment, she finally understood that she could not be ruthless.
"Does my beloved consort's heart ache?" Gu Zeyan looked at Xiao Qingya's reaction and looked at him mockingly. The pleasure of revenge surged in his heart.
"Your Highness, you worry too much. Qingya is feeling unwell because she hasn't been able to rest for the past few days.”Xiao Qingya leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes. She hid all her emotions and tried not to reveal the trembling in her voice.
"Your Highness, a messenger pigeon has arrived." Baili Qingkong walked in from the door and handed the box to Gu Zeyan. At the same time, he glanced at Xiao Qingya and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.
"It seems that the people below are already a little impatient.”Gu Zeyan sneered and burned the note he had finished reading.
"Tell them to behave themselves for this king. When this king wants to move, I will naturally call them.”Gu Zeyan sat down again and looked coldly at Xiao Qingya." Beloved Consort, this game of chess isn't over yet. Why aren't you playing?"”
"Does Your Highness intend to continue playing?" Xiao Qingya suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Gu Zeyan in disbelief. He always felt that Gu Zeyan's attitude towards him had changed since he came back. It was even worse than before. He did not understand why he treated him like this. What was even more confusing was that he had already given in repeatedly. Why could he not let him go?
"What, does my beloved consort not want to play anymore?" Gu Zeyan's face turned cold, and his voice became even colder. This made Xiao Qingya understand that he had really changed.
"If your highness wants to, this Xiao will naturally accompany you.”Xiao Qingya took a deep breath and sat back down to continue the game.
Gu Zeyan completely ignored the other two people who were waiting for a reply. He only stared at Xiao Qingya. After playing a few pieces with him, Gu Zeyan looked up at him and asked with a smile that was not a smile," My beloved concubine's heart can't calm down? Why did the chess pieces fall into chaos?"
"What is your highness trying to say?" Xiao Qingya saw that she couldn't play anymore, so she didn't play anymore. She put down the chess piece in her hand and looked at him calmly with her clear and charming eyes.
"Beloved Consort, what do you think this Prince wants to say?”Gu Zeyan leaned back in his chair and stared at Xiao Qingya, afraid that he would miss the slightest change in him.
"This Xiao isn't a roundworm in your highness 'stomach, how would this Xiao know?”Xiao Qingya rested her chin on her elbow and lowered her eyes.
"Oh? If this king said that Xiao Ruojun was still alive, how would my beloved consort feel?”Gu Zeyan saw that Xiao Qingya's hand was obviously trembling for a moment and suddenly felt that his mood was not bad.
"Beloved Consort, don't you want to say something?" The corners of Gu Zeyan's lips curled up slightly, making his entire face look extremely evil.
"What does your highness want this Xiao to say? Your highness wants this Xiao to plead on behalf of my father? Or do you want me to say that wangye is right?”Xiao Qingya said lightly, her gaze drifting to the bright light of dawn outside the window.
Gu Zeyan quietly looked at Xiao Qingya for a while, then followed him to look out of the window. He suddenly got up, pushed open the door, and walked out. He walked to the peach blossom tree that Xiao Qingya often stood under, and looked at the peach blossoms that were about to fall.
Gu Zeyan was confused. What did he want Xiao Qingya to do? Did she hope that he would plead with her father, or did she hope that he would let her kill Xiao Ruojun without any kinship? None of them were what he wanted. Since it was not what she wanted, why did she still want him to confirm it?
" Your Highness, Xiao Ruojun..." Mo Xi silently walked behind Gu Zeyan. She looked at the sad him and didn't know what to say for a moment. It was as if anything she said would be wrong.
"Keep it for now." He, Gu Zeyan, still couldn't kill Xiao Ruojun in the end because of Xiao Qingya, who had the title of princess consort? How laughable, laughable.
Xiao Qingya looked at Gu Zeyan's lonely figure downstairs. For a moment, her heart palpitated. The thoughts in her heart were so chaotic that she couldn't sort them out. Should he hate or thank Gu Zeyan? Hate him for killing the entire Xiao family, or thank him for killing the culprit who killed his mother? He looked at the figure and began to lose his mind. Perhaps they were the same kind of people, but they just hadn't realized it yet. They were also sad and pitiful.
"Without this wangye's order, wangfei is not allowed to take a step out of the Qingya Residence.”Gu Zeyan gave an order to Baili Qingkong, who was following behind him. He turned to look at Xiao Qingya, who was looking at the window. His eyes were clear, and the loneliness disappeared in an instant. He walked out of the Qingya Residence and returned to his study to prepare for the next step.
These few days, Gu Zeyan was helpless against Gu Zeluo's poison. Xiao Qingya did not go there again, let alone ask Xiao Ruojun what kind of poison he had put. Perhaps he still faintly believed that Xiao Qingya would have a way to wake Gu Zeluo up. However, as time passed, his heart became more and more confused. He should have been anxious to save Gu Zeluo, but he did not go to Xiao Ruojun's torture session. At this moment, he did not know if he still loved Gu Zeluo. However, the next moment, he overthrew the doubts in his heart. He still firmly believed that he loved Gu Zeluo.
As he thought about this, he kept drinking the wine in his hand. The more he wanted to drink, the more anxious he became. He also gave himself an order. If Feng Shang did not come back in three days, then he must force Xiao Ruojun to tell him the whereabouts of the antidote. However, before he could make up his mind, Baili Qingkong came with the news.
"Your Highness, Feng Shang has brought Young Master Che Ye back.”Baili Qingkong said to Gu Zeyan, who was still drinking.
"Hurry up and go to Zeluo's?" Gu Zeyan threw down the wine in his hand, got up, and swayed to look for Che Ye. He didn't care whether Che Ye was willing or not, and directly pulled him towards Gu Zeluo's mansion. "Young Master Che Ye, please follow me."
It was Baili Qingkong who had prepared the carriage for the two of them in advance. Che Ye did not say anything and just sat quietly in the carriage. Gu Zeyan also sobered up at this time. He was a little annoyed at his recklessness, but he felt at ease for Gu Zeluo. As soon as the carriage stopped, Gu Zeyan got off the carriage to drag Che away, but he easily dodged it. Gu Zeyan looked at his hand awkwardly, then led the way to Gu Zeluo's room. He opened the door for Che Ye and asked him to treat Gu Zeluo.
"Young master Che Ye, please show me what kind of poison Zeluo is suffering from.”Gu Zeyan waited at the side for a long time, but he did not hear him say anything. He could not help but look a little anxious and asked anxiously.
Che Ye looked up at Gu Zeyan and ignored him. He sat by the bed and continued to take Gu Zeluo's pulse. The waiting time made Gu Zeyan even more uneasy.
