"Why?" When Shui Lichen heard what he said, he was puzzled for a moment. After thinking it through, he replied," Lichen won't tell me. However, Lichen would let Prince Luo come over for a chat.”
"Then Baili Qingkong thanks Young Master Shui in advance.”Baili Qingkong cupped his hands in thanks, his eyes filled with gratitude.
"What are you talking about, General Manager Bai Li? Steward Bai Li, please." Shui Lichen made an inviting gesture and walked to Baili Qingkong's side. They walked together on the road to Xiaoyao King's Mansion.
"Young Master Shui likes wangfei?" Baili Qingkong suddenly raised this question in the silence. At the same time, a strange feeling flashed across his heart. However, it was too fast for Baili Qingkong to catch it. He wanted to look for it again, but it was already difficult to find it.
"According to my observations over the past few days, although wangfei has a cold personality, she is deeply liked by everyone in the wang fu.”Shui Lichen recalled his secret investigation over the past few days and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. There was a hint of joy in his faint voice.
"So, Young Master Shui also likes wangfei?”Baili Qingkong stopped and looked at Shui Lichen with a serious expression. "However, Qing Kong would like to advise Young Master Shui not to think about snatching his highness 'people. Otherwise, his highness will not let you and wangfei off.”
"Is General Manager Bai Li worrying too much?”Shui Lichen shook his head and chuckled. He continued," Lichen is just stating the facts. How could he say that he likes the Princess Consort?”
"That's good." Baili Qingkong suddenly paused and said seriously," Don't even think about finding trouble with His Highness. If you do anything to harm His Highness, Baili Qingkong will kill you first."”
Baili Qingkong felt disappointed for a moment. If what he said was true, his good impression of Shui Lichen would turn into disappointment. He was still deeply disappointed. Thinking of this, a strange pain appeared in his heart. Although it was only for a moment, it stunned him. Could it be that he had already developed other feelings for Shui Lichen unknowingly?
"Could it be that I've fallen in love with Shui Lichen?”Baili Qingkong subconsciously said what he was thinking. Although his tone was light, it was still heard by Shui Lichen, who was skilled in martial arts. Shui Lichen's eyes were clear, but his face seemed to be burning.
When Baili Qingkong regained his senses, he realized what he had said. He immediately covered his mouth and looked up at Shui Lichen. Seeing that Shui Lichen's face seemed to be flushed, he could not help but use the bright moonlight to get closer to take a look. This action caused Shui Lichen's face to turn even redder, and his ears began to burn.
"Cough, what are you looking at?" Shui Lichen pushed Baili Qingkong away and took two steps back. He lowered his head and coughed awkwardly to cover up his discomfort.
"Shui Lichen, I think I've fallen in love with you.”Baili Qingkong's tone was uncertain, but he still affirmed what he had unintentionally said.
"Steward Bai Li, aren't you afraid that after you fall in love with me, I will make you leave the Imperial Residence or kill His Highness?”Shui Lichen was delighted by Baili Qingkong's sudden confession. Then, he thought of their identities and his flushed face turned pale. He could not help but want to distance himself from them to prevent them from getting hurt in the future.
"If that really happens, I will personally take your head and commit suicide as an apology.”The determination in Baili Qingkong's eyes made Shui Lichen's heart palpitate. He was even more convinced by Baili Qingkong's loyalty to Gu Zeyan.
For the first time, Shui Lichen looked at the person in front of him. Although he did not have Gu Zeyan's domineering aura or Xiao Qingya's indifference, the affinity he exuded made him unable to extricate himself from his feelings. Perhaps this person could really give him peace of mind. However, thinking about this, the gaze he gave him became more genuine. Shui Lichen was suddenly afraid that he would fall into his trap and forcefully averted his gaze.
"Steward Bai Li, let's go back.”Shui Lichen did not want to be sucked in by those deep eyes again, so he turned to look at the path he came from.
"Call me Clear Sky when there's no one around." Baili Qingkong saw his reaction and felt that he still had feelings for him. Otherwise, why would he ask such a question? He was actually worried and afraid, right? Therefore, he asked him to call her by her name, hoping that they could get closer.
Shui Lichen did not reply, but he turned around and left. He felt like he was running away. He hated this feeling, but his body had deviated from his consciousness. Furthermore, he felt that it was better for him and Baili Qingkong to calm down. When Baili Qingkong saw Shui Lichen leave, the corners of his mouth curled up into a smile. His eyes carried a doting look that even he did not notice as he followed after him.
The next day, after Gu Zeluo settled Yao Lian down, he went to Xiao Qingya's mansion to visit her. He did not believe that Gu Zeyan would let him off so easily. Moreover, there was no news of Shui Lichen overnight, which made him even more worried. Regardless of whether Gu Zeyan was there or not, he went straight to Qingya Residence.
"Third Imperial Sister-in-law, are you there?" Gu Ze landed outside the door and knocked a few times to ask the person in the room.
A moment later, Xiao Qingya walked out of the room. Although there was no red mark on her face, it was still slightly swollen. One could still see the marks on her face at a glance.
"Why didn't Prince Luo inform me that you were coming? I'll call the servants to find Prince Luo.”Xiao Qingya smiled at Gu Zeluo. He felt that Gu Zeluo shouldn't be looking for him. When he was about to call for someone, he was stopped by Gu Zeluo.
"I came today to see Third Sister-in-law, not Third Brother.”Gu Zeluo looked at the swollen half of Xiao Qingya's face and paused, but he still said what was on his mind," This was beaten up by Third Brother?”
"Men, serve tea. Prince Luo is worrying too much, I accidentally bumped into it.”Xiao Qingya invited Gu Zeluo to the courtyard and asked the servants to serve tea and pastries. However, he only paused for a moment in response to Gu Zeluo's question. In order to avoid making everyone more embarrassed, he could only vaguely answer it.
"Third sister-in-law, you're so good, why doesn't Third Brother know how to cherish it?”Gu Zeluo's heart ached for Xiao Qingya's indifference. Why did his third brother not see Xiao Qingya's good side and feel sad?
"Prince Luo's words are really too elegant.”Xiao Qingya saw that the servant boy had already served the refreshments. She poured tea for Gu Zeluo and said," Prince Luo, please have some tea."”
"Third sister-in-law, don't you love third brother?”Gu Zeluo lowered his head and sipped the tea that Xiao Qingya had poured for him. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone, or rather, it was more like he wanted to wake the two of them up.
Gu Zeyan, who was reading in the study, was delighted to hear that his younger brother had come. However, he was also puzzled. Why didn't he come to see him but Xiao Qingya? He was afraid that Xiao Qingya would do something to Gu Zeluo, so he immediately walked toward the Qingya Residence. Just as he walked out of the courtyard, he heard Gu Zeluo's words and suddenly stopped to listen to Xiao Qingya's answer. However, he himself did not know why he wanted to hear Xiao Qingya's answer, nor did he know why he was eavesdropping here. But why couldn't he move even half a step? The three of them continued to talk in a strange atmosphere separated by a wall.
"Love?" Xiao Qingya looked at Gu Zeluo in confusion. She lowered her head and pondered for a moment." What did Qingya do to make Prince Luo misunderstand?"”
"Misunderstanding? Wouldn't it count if he got injured for his third brother in Jiangnan?”Gu Zeluo's eyes were filled with surprise. If he didn't love her, why did he do that?
"If Prince Luo goes to Jiangnan, will he be injured?”Xiao Qingya asked Gu Zeluo.
Gu Zeluo lowered his head and pondered. What would he do if he was in her shoes? In that case, he believed that he would be the same, right? She smiled bitterly and said," I think if I was in Third Sister-in-law's position at that time, I would have been hurt because of Third Brother.”
"Then does Prince Luo love Prince Luo or not?”Xiao Qingya asked again.
" This..." Gu Zeluo hesitated." This shouldn't be answered with love or not, right?”
"Then, how can Prince Luo be so sure that Xiao Qingya loves Prince Luo?”Xiao Qingya saw that the tea was finished and poured tea for each other again.
"Then why did third sister-in-law save third brother, or did she not think too much about it at that time?”Gu Zeluo questioned. He believed that Xiao Qingya loved Third Brother, but he was still unclear.
Gu Zeyan couldn't bear to listen anymore. Both of them were playing Tai Chi, not saying whether they loved him or not. This made him angry. He retreated from the clear sky and walked into the Elegant Residence.
