When I got up early in the morning, Wuwei's figure had disappeared. The palace maid said that the imperial master had gone to court.

Gu Liuxi walked around the place where he lived out of boredom, and found that there was a large plum forest in the backyard. Maybe it was not the blooming season yet, and the plum blossoms were not in bloom yet.

Walking in, you feel like you are in a fantasy world.

There is a small bamboo house in the large plum forest.

Gu Liuxi walked over with curiosity.

"Is there anyone?"

The surroundings were unusually quiet, and there seemed to be no one around. Gu Liuxi knocked on the door out of politeness.

After waiting for a long time, no one answered.

There should be no one inside.

Although he knew that it was wrong to enter the door without the owner's permission, Gu Liuxi still gently opened the door out of curiosity.

The door was not locked and opened with a slight push.

The room is all made of bamboo, and the most eye-catching thing is the scroll hanging on the wall.

The background of the scroll is a grassland with green mountains and green water stretching as far as the eye can see, in which a young girl wearing a snow-white costume stands elegantly.

The white satin is embroidered with various exquisite white bird pictures. Half of the long black silk-like hair is tied into a cloud bun, and the other half is hanging on the shoulders. There is an exquisite phoenix hairpin inserted in the cloud bun, which makes the girl in the painting

It looks elegant and noble.

As for the face of the person in the painting...it is actually illusory.

The whole painting has charm, but the face is not.

This is a faceless portrait, giving people a terrifying feeling.

When he saw this portrait for the first time, Gu Liuxi's heart felt like it was being pulled by a wireless needle, which made her feel extremely uncomfortable.

She didn't know why, but she felt distressed when she saw this portrait.

Two lines of clear tears sadly fell down her delicate face, splashing on the ground and breaking into pieces.

Gu Liuxi blinked, confused by his inexplicable reaction.

He stretched out his hand and touched his face, it was wet.

She actually cried.

I just thought it was a faceless portrait.

What's going on?

"Why are you here?"

A voice suddenly sounded behind Gu Liuxi. Gu Liuxi quickly wiped away her tears with her arms and turned around. It turned out to be the little palace maid serving the imperial master. She lowered her head, panicking like a child who had done something wrong, "

Sorry, I just walked in while walking."

"You'd better leave here quickly! The Imperial Master doesn't allow anyone to come in here. Just pretend you haven't seen anything today!" The palace maid anxiously pulled Gu Liuxi out of the small bamboo house and kept holding her

Merlin was brought out.

"I would like to ask why others are not allowed in here?"

Gu Liuxi was really curious as to why the Imperial Master did not allow others to come in here.

If she had read correctly just now, there was a line of small characters written in the lower corner of the painting, for my beloved wife, Xi.

Why is it for my beloved wife, Xi.

Is it a portrait painted by the Imperial Master for his beloved wife?

Why didn't he draw a face? Why should he hang a faceless portrait in such a private place and not allow anyone to come in?

What secret is hidden here?

The palace maid shook her head, "In the past three years, the Imperial Master has not allowed anyone to come in except for asking me to take care of the hygiene here every day. I don't know why. However, the Imperial Master used to stay in that place often for a long time.

When he comes out, no one knows what he is doing inside, and he doesn't allow others to go in and disturb him."

"That's it! Then I'll go look elsewhere!"

Maybe this palace maid really didn't know anything, and Gu Liuxi didn't make things difficult for her. She just took a deep look at the plum forest and turned around to leave.

Could it be that the woman in the portrait of his beloved wife, Xi, was the woman the Imperial Master loved deeply?

If it is someone you love deeply, why not draw her face.

For some reason, when she thought that the Imperial Master already had a woman he loved deeply in his heart, her heart felt particularly uncomfortable, with a hint of sourness.

Even though she knew that she was not from the same world as him, she still felt hurt when she found out that he liked another woman.

She couldn't help but wonder, what would the woman of such a perfect man like the Imperial Master look like?

A woman who can be so concerned about by the Imperial Master must not be an ordinary woman!

Gu Liuxi couldn't help but feel a little jealous, which caused her to be mentally disturbed all day long. She didn't even know when the Imperial Master came in.

"what's on your mind?"

When Wuwei's voice suddenly appeared in her ears, she was startled.

"You...when did you come in?"

Wuwei glanced at her lightly, "While you were in a daze."

"Ah..." Gu Liuxi opened her mouth wide. Then he had been here for a long time. Damn it, she didn't even notice it at all. She just stayed in a daze in front of him for so long.

"You...what's the matter with you coming to me?"

"There is indeed something going on." Wuwei said truthfully.

Gu Liuxi just asked casually, but she didn't expect that he really had something to ask of her. Her expression was stunned for a second before she came back to her senses, "Um... what are you looking for me for?"

"Go back! The palace is not a place suitable for you."

"go back?"

It took Gu Liuxi ten seconds to understand that the Imperial Master's words meant for her to go back to the General's Mansion, and she subconsciously refused, "I will not go back now."

"Then when do you plan to go back? Do you really plan to stay in the palace all the time? Do you really think your identity can be kept very secret? If the emperor really wants to check your identity, he can check it in minutes. You stay here

It won’t do you any good at all…”

Too many things have happened recently, and he has no time to take care of her now. Only by letting her return to her original place, the General's Mansion may be able to keep her safe.

He didn't want her to be too dazzling. Maybe it would be a good thing for him if she could be a little more ordinary.

Perhaps it would be better for her to go back to being the second young lady of the Gu family. At least she was not outstanding and unknown before, which was also a way to save her life.

What did he say?

Gu Liuxi was stunned by what Wuwei said and couldn't believe that she was so worthless in his mind.

He is looking down on her, he is insulting her...

Crystal tears gradually filled her eyes, but she forced them back.

Gu Liuxi was also a stubborn person. She raised her little face to him and told him clearly, "I will not go back. I don't care what my status is. Since someone needs me, I will stay here."

Although this was an excuse, it was also the only reason for her persistence.

Wuwei had a sarcastic expression on his face, "Is the person you mentioned who needs you the Seventeenth Princess? How much do you know about her? She just thought you were curious for a moment, so she kept you by her side and protected you like this.

You, it’s because she found something interesting in you. When she doesn’t need you that day, when she is no longer curious about you, she will throw you away like trash..."

Gu Liuxi smiled, but there was a hint of sadness in the smile, "So what if it's trash? At least I'm still useful trash now. At least I'm still attractive to the Seventeenth Princess. She will protect me. She will be like this."

Protecting me desperately, this proves that this piece of trash like me is very important, doesn't it?"

In response to Gu Liuxi's stubbornness, Wuwei's face was frighteningly gloomy.

This woman, she really doesn't know how to live or die.

Did she really think that the palace was such an easy place to hang out?

This is not a military camp, it is full of conspiracies. Does she really think she can live in this smoky palace?

The emperor's first target was her, thinking that her appearance next to the princess had a conspiracy and purpose.

She is now the number one person in the palace. The more prominent a person is in the palace, the faster he will die.

She has been in the limelight in the palace these days. Because she was favored by the princess, she suddenly became a dazzling figure in the palace. At the same time, she also became the object of others' jealousy. Sooner or later something will happen.

Why can't she be more obedient!

Why does she always do everything according to her own wishes, completely regardless of the consequences?

"Forget it, it's up to you." He had done his best, and there was nothing he could do if she didn't listen to her dissuasion.

Gu Liuxi felt particularly aggrieved after she suffered a humiliation.

The atmosphere between the two was very serious, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

The palace maid came in and looked at the two of them a little uneasily, swallowed her saliva, and said cautiously: "National Master, the Seventeenth Princess and the Seventh Prince want to see you."
