Gu Xiyan got out of bed and slowly sorted out the wrinkles on her dress: "Miss Yuan should take care of herself. She must hide her love for the young master. I don't have many opportunities to meet with the young master, so there is no need for Miss Yuan to be my rival in love."

Yuan Nianci was immediately angry and embarrassed: "What did Miss Gu say? I can't understand a single sentence!"

Her voice was sharp and harsh, and Gu Xiyan looked at her faintly: "It should be let the young master see how Miss Yuan is losing her composure at this moment."

Yuan Nianci clenched her fists tightly and suppressed her annoyance.

She clearly hid her feelings very well, not only Zhou Mu didn’t notice it, but even the others who served Zhou Mu didn’t notice her thoughts, so why was Gu Xiyan seen it?

Gu Xiyan did not get entangled with Yuan Nianci anymore and left Zhou Mu's bedroom.

She tried hard to recall how she left the palace and how she came to the Zhou Mansion, but she couldn't remember anything. She could only say that Zhou Xing was so domineering to the medicine she gave her. She was able to escape today because Zhou Mu was in the palace and extended a helping hand to her.

If it weren't for Zhou Mu's rescue today, she would have been destroyed by Zhou Xing again in this life.

She wanted to thank Zhou Mu before leaving, but Qi Zhiyuan told her that Zhou Mu was busy.

Gu Xiyan is a smart person and immediately understood what Zhou Mu meant not to see her.

"Then please help me convey it. Today, the young master will be able to save him. Xiyan will have a certain reward if he has the chance in the future." Gu Xiyan did not entangle again.

There must be a reason why Zhou Mu didn't want to see her, she was just grateful to Zhou Mu for lending a helping hand to her.

"Girl walk slowly." Seeing that Gu Xiyan was about to return to the Marquis' Mansion, Qi Zhiyuan gave her politely.

After sending Gu Xiyan away from Zhou Mansion, Qi Zhiyuan went to Zhou Mu to report: "Miss Gu is back. Before leaving, let his subordinates convey his gratitude to the young master."

He didn't know why the young master suddenly refused to see Miss Gu. Wasn't he so nervous about Miss Gu before?

Zhou Mu lost his mind for a moment, his eyes fell empty-mindedly on the withered branches outside the window: "Go out."

When Yuan Nianci saw Gu Xiyan leave, she did not pester Zhou Mu, she felt relieved. She wanted to see Zhou Mu again, but Zhou Mu sent Qi Zhiyuan to send her away.

After Gu Xiyan left, Zhou Mu wanted to read books to pass the time, but he couldn't calm down. An hour passed and he didn't read anything.

Later, he simply entered the meditation room and meditated and calmed down. His impetuous mood gradually calmed down.

On that side, Gu Xiyan returned to the West Garden of Hou Mansion, but her heart was still filled with heavy stones.

What happened today was ultimately because she was too careless. She didn't expect that Zhou Xing would dare to drug her in public, and she didn't expect that Zhou Xing would be so arrogant under Emperor Chengde's nose.

She didn't know what happened after she left the palace, but she couldn't swallow the tone of being plotted against by Zhou Xing.

But how can she, a weak woman with no power, fight against the powerful King of Qin?

If she had been hesitating before whether to seize food from a tiger's mouth, after this battle, she made up her mind.

Her inability to fight against Zhou Xing does not mean that she cannot steal Zhou Xing's right-hand assistant.

With a general idea, she compiled a book and asked Qiushi to deliver the letter to Su Mei as soon as possible.

In the evening, Su Mei received a letter written by Gu Xiyan. The letter said that she would go to the inn the day after tomorrow and asked her to rescue a young man named Rong Song in front of Zhou Xing. The letter also said that Rong Song was very business-minded. When the grain stack was opened, Rong Song would manage the grain stack.

Gu Xiyan also specifically reminded her in the letter that Rong Song is both good and evil, so she should be careful to deal with it.

After receiving Gu Xiyan's letter, Su Mei planned to go to the inn early the morning after tomorrow and never let the King of Qin snatch Rong Song away in front of her.

Since Rong Song is the person Gu Xiyan likes, he must be a capable person.

In order to avoid Gu Xiyan's concern, she specially replied to Gu Xiyan, saying that she would handle the matter.

At the Wanqing Marquis' Mansion, the old lady had just returned home and called Gu Xiyan to ask.

"Why did you leave the table halfway through today? How did you leave the palace earlier? "The old lady had doubts in her heart and asked directly.

Gu Xiyan expressed the speech prepared in the morning: "Xiyan didn't know whether it was a carriage prepared by a noble man in the palace, but the eunuch also claimed that he was giving His Majesty the order."

When the old lady heard that it was the carriage arranged by His Majesty, her eyes lit up: "Take it seriously?"

"How dare Xiyan joke about His Majesty?" Gu Xiyan looked open-minded.

Given the extent to which Emperor Chengde favored Zhou Mu, this was not a false statement.

Liu Chaoyan was also in the old lady's house. She looked at Gu Xiyan up and down, wanting to know if Gu Xiyan was lying.

In fact, the first person to leave at the banquet today was Gu Xiyan, and then Zhou Xing and other talents left one after another. She always suspected that Zhou Xing left the banquet for Gu Xiyan.

At that time, she was actually very scared, afraid that the person who was hanging with Zhou Xing in Feiyun Pavilion was Gu Xiyan.

Later, when she saw that the person who was entangled with Zhou Xing was a castrator. She felt embarrassed and was very glad that she was not Gu Xiyan, otherwise where would her face be put?

"Why did my sister suddenly leave the palace early?" Liu Chaoyan was still skeptical of Gu Xiyan.

"The Concubine Xian doesn't like me, and my sister is also guarding me. I think it's better to leave the palace earlier to avoid my random thoughts." Gu Xiyan looked at Liu Chaoyan with a gentle expression: "Why are my sister and grandmother caring about my return home early, but what happened in the palace?"

The old lady was worried that Zhou Xing wanted to attack Gu Xiyan, but Gu Xiyan was helpless in the Marquis's Mansion and had no support in the deep palace. His Majesty was still at the banquet. Since this was the case, it was impossible for Gu Xiyan to make a move behind the scenes between Zhou Xing and the eunuch.

But she was thinking a little bit out of the way, and she actually linked Zhou Xing's scandal with Sister Xi.

"It's nothing. Since you are here, you sisters are all having dinner in Zaohui Hall today." The old lady stopped this topic and now she looked at Gu Xiyan three points higher.

Faced with the difficulties made by Bao and Princess today, Gu Xiyan did not show any timidity, nor did she embarrass the Hou's Mansion, which means that Gu Xiyan has stood up by herself.

Later, the incident of His Majesty asking Gu Xiyan to accompany him made the Hou Mansion look more respectful. Even Liu Chaoyan could not do something, Gu Xiyan did, and this is Gu Xiyan's ability.

A legitimate girl who can make Wanqing Hou’s mansion look good, she, as a grandmother, should also treat her well.

During the meal, the old lady asked Gu Xiyan about her well-being, but Liu Chaoyan was neglected, which made Liu Chaoyan feel very uncomfortable.

She always used to be the only one who put Gu Xiyan on her head, so where could Gu Xiyan show her face?

But now? Gu Xiyan actually asked her grandmother to take it seriously, which made her feel alert.

After dinner, Gu Xiyan said goodbye and left. Liu Chaoyan deliberately beat Gu Xiyan a few words and followed him hurriedly.

"Sister, it's better to be more contented. My marriage with Brother Axing has been decided long ago. Sister, don't do useless work anymore!" Liu Chaoyan whispered to Gu Xiyan.
