"Xiao Qingya has always been self-aware. There is no need for your highness to remind her. Please close the door when your highness leaves.”Xiao Qingya replied indifferently. The coldness and emptiness in her words stunned Gu Zeyan. He then walked out of Xiao Qingya's room.
" Your Highness, the Princess Consort…" Baili Qingkong wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to ask. He could only feel anxious in his heart.
"Baili Qingkong, you're meddling too much.”Gu Zeyan frowned slightly and replied to Baili Qingkong in a lukewarm manner.
"Yes." Baili Qingkong didn't dare to ask anymore, not wanting to blame Xiao Qingya for this crime.
Inside the room, Xiao Qingya was like a broken puppet. There was not a single good spot on her body. Her entire body was covered in bruises, and blood was still flowing from her back acupuncture points. The inner wall must have been injured, but she did not intend to clean it up. She just looked at the roof, her eyes empty, and no one knew what she was thinking. Even when Baili Qingkong secretly came to see him, he did not notice it. He did not have any reaction no matter how Baili Qingkong washed his body, applied medicine, or returned to the bed. His eyes were still staring blankly ahead.
After Gu Zeyan came out of Xiao Qingya's room, he went straight to the Free and Unfettered Pavilion. As soon as he entered, Mo Xi came up to him and bowed slightly. She spoke to him in the official language," Your Highness, why are you free to come over?" Was His Highness planning to spend the night here? Or are you planning to come and play?"
"Find the best for this king." After Gu Zeyan finished speaking, he went straight to the private room, which was where he often went. Before Gu Zeyan could figure out why he was angry, the door opened.
"Your Highness ~" A man walked in at the same time as a seductive voice sounded. This man was not only handsome but also cold. He was the most popular courtesan in the Freedom Pavilion. He walked directly to Gu Zeyan and leaned over to whisper in his ear,"Your Highness, you came so late. Do you want to spend the night or do you want to return to the Prince's mansion later?"”
"Who are you? What is it called?" Gu Zeyan's face was filled with impatience as he mercilessly pushed away some of the people on top of him. It was as if he was disgusted by the beauty in front of him when he touched Xiao Qingya.
"I am the Courtesan Belle here, Huang 'er.”Huang 'er saw Gu Zeyan push her away and sat at the side. She looked at Gu Zeyan with interest and slowly answered his question.
"Alright, alright, you can leave." Gu Zeyan was not in the mood to spend the night with him, nor did he want to touch him. The moment he touched him, it reminded him of Xiao Qingya's empty eyes and made him feel even more annoyed. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he felt that his annoyance did not decrease, but instead became even more. In the end, he stood up and left.
Gu Zeyan left the Unfettered Pavilion and walked around aimlessly. When he came back to his senses, he realized that he had returned to the manor. When he arrived outside Xiao Qingya's room, he did not know what excuse to use to enter. Just as he was hesitating, he saw Baili Qingkong come out of the window. Gu Zeyan's expression changed and immediately turned cold." What are you doing?"”
"Your Highness." Baili Qingkong was shocked. He immediately lowered his head and replied," The Princess Consort hasn't eaten for a day. Not only did she not touch the things that she brought in just now, she doesn't even have the intention to get up. I'm afraid…"
"Got it." Gu Zeyan became even more irritated after hearing Baili Qingkong's words. He asked Baili Qingkong to leave. He entered the room without lighting the lamp, but he could clearly see Xiao Qingya lying on the bed with the help of the moonlight. Seeing that Xiao Qingya's clothes were already neatly arranged, he knew that Baili Qingkong must have done it himself. Xiao Qingya didn't even move when he entered, and there was still no fluctuation in her eyes.
Seeing Xiao Qingya like this, Gu Zeyan became angry again as he thought that Xiao Qingya would definitely not behave like this under Gu Zeluo. Gu Zeyan directly slammed the door and went to the Free and Unfettered Pavilion again. He did not call anyone and directly jumped into the private room to spend the night. The next morning, before he returned to the mansion, Mo Xi knocked on Gu Zeyan's door.
"Come in." Gu Zeyan raised his eyebrows slightly and praised Mo Xi's reaction. It seemed that Mo Xi had completely grasped all the movements here. He got up, put on his clothes, and sat down at the table to wait.
"Your Highness, your letter." As Mo Xi spoke, she handed the letter to Gu Zeyan. The news she received was that Gu Zeling had received the imperial edict and returned to court.
"When is Second Brother coming back?" Gu Zeyan frowned slightly. There must be a reason for Gu Zeling to return at this time. Moreover, he had asked Gu Zeling to lead his eight thousand imperial guards. They were all experts who could fight against ten people alone. Could it be that Gu Zejin wanted to do something to him? Which side was Gu Zeling on? He was not sure yet, so he could not act rashly.
"We will arrive in the capital in three days." Mo Xi returned to her original appearance and lowered her head to answer," Your Highness, Mo Xi would like to recommend someone to you. What do you think?"”
"Who is it?" Gu Zeyan put down the letter in his hand and looked up with interest.
"His name is Jia Yan, a servant of the Ling Prince's mansion. He doesn't reveal his true identity, but he is a shrewd and reserved person. A few days ago, he was bewitched by the people in the Free and Unfettered Pavilion. If he can be used by your highness, it would be a good thing.”Mo Xi's eyes were calm, but her heart was a little panicked. She didn't know if Gu Zeyan had seen through her thoughts.
"This king understands, this king will consider it, you can leave first.”Gu Zeyan waved his hand. Seeing that Mo Xi had left, he also packed up and went downstairs to return to the manor.
Gu Zeyan had just stepped into the manor when he saw Gu Zeluo waiting in the hall. His originally calm heart was stirred up again, and his expression turned cold. He interrupted Gu Zeluo's words," Zeluo is here for Qing Ya, right?" Did she want to see if he was alright? Or do you want to see if there's a mark on his body?”
"Third Brother, there's nothing between Third Sister-in-law and me. Don't push everything onto him. Although his personality is a little cold, he's still my good Third Sister-in-law.”Gu Zeluo's anger rose a little when he heard him say this, but when he remembered that he had come here to persuade Gu Zeyan, he could only suppress the anger in his heart.
"Is Zeluo speaking up for Qingya? It's not your place to tell me what to do, right?”Gu Zeyan looked at Gu Zeluo with a sneer.
"Third brother, can you not be so stubborn?”Gu Zeluo grabbed Gu Zeyan's shoulder tightly and tried to persuade him with a frown.
"You don't have to care about my family matters. Baili, please bring Lord Luo back to the manor for me.”Gu Zeyan had already started to talk nonsense to Gu Zeluo, but he didn't know that after he did such a thing, the rift between him and Gu Zeluo grew bigger and bigger, and the two of them walked further and further apart.
"Good, good, good. Freedom King, I misjudged you.”Gu Zeluo was so angry that he turned around and left with a flick of his sleeves. He had only taken two steps when he heard the sound of a teacup shattering. His heart tightened. He did not know who Gu Zeyan was angry with, but it seemed that he was more angry with Xiao Qingya. He suddenly wanted to see Xiao Qingya, so he said to Baili Qingkong," Baili, take me to see Third Sister-in-law."”
"Yes." Baili Qingkong was also worried about Xiao Qingya, so he brought Gu Zeluo to see Xiao Qingya. He walked to the door and gently pushed it open.
When Gu Zeluo reached the door, he saw Xiao Qingya lying on the bed and staring at the ceiling motionlessly. Gu Zeluo walked in and saw Xiao Qingya like this. He was angry and anxious, and his heart ached for her. He sat by the bed and looked at Xiao Qingya. Xiao Qingya's eyes were empty, and no one knew what he was thinking. He could only sigh slightly." Third sister-in-law, aren't you afraid that Feng Shang and Xiaobao will be worried?" How anxious would they be if they saw you like this?”
Seeing that he still had no reaction, Gu Zeluo could only sit by the bed and silently accompany him for a long time before getting up and following Baili Qingkong out of the mansion. When they returned to Luoyang Mansion, he saw Yao Lian waiting in the courtyard and felt a warmth in his heart. He went forward and hugged Yao Lian tightly.
