"You should understand that I treat you... differently from others. I don't care about others, but I can't ignore your feelings. Your Highness, we are destined to be together, and I don't want to go around in circles with you anymore.
, I came to the Purple Thunder Kingdom this time all because of you."
Gu Lieyang didn't seem too surprised by Ye Caidi's bold confession, but he didn't expect that she would say it so quickly. He lowered his eyes, deliberately not looking at her face, "The princess's affection is so deep, I also
I have some insights, but the princess must also be able to see that Mo Lanyue is also different from others to me."
"If Your Highness really likes that girl, the worst he can do is let her be your concubine. It is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. I don't mind if she divides you."
After failing to frame Mo Lanyue, Ye Caidi decided to compromise. The biggest concession she made was that she was willing to accept Mo Lanyue. As long as Mo Lanyue didn't ride on her head, she really didn't mind having another woman to share her husband. It's just that
Her wishful thinking did not work. Gu Lieyang didn't like her at all, so how could he be willing to marry her? There was no guarantee that his wife would be the queen of a country in the future. With such a queen, could the country still be peaceful?
Just thinking about it made me feel horrified. He tilted his head, looked at the clear lake, and said with helplessness and reluctance, "The princess is willing to wrong herself, but I don't want to wrong the princess. My brother is better than me."
There are many people out there, why don’t the princess take a longer view and consider them, maybe she can get a happier life.”
He spoke so sincerely that Ye Caidi mistook him for saying this because he did not want to be wronged. At that moment, he was deeply moved and sighed that Gu Lieyang was indeed interested in her, but he had many concerns because of the presence of Mo Lanyue by his side.
When Mo Lanyue stops hanging around him or he gets tired of Mo Lanyue, there will be no more obstacles between them.
Thinking of their upcoming happy life, Ye Caidi couldn't hide the smile in her heart. She couldn't help laughing out loud several times, which made Gu Lieyang very confused. She didn't know what she was having fun by herself.
.
Thinking that it had been a while since they came out, Gu Lieyang suggested walking back with her along the same route, but Ye Caidi shook her head, "Actually, I've been here before. It's not far from the Ziqing Palace where my sister is.
I’ll just go back from here.”
The way she smiled at Gu Lieyang really made Gu Lieyang uncomfortable.
The two of them walked out of the pavilion in the middle of the lake. When they were about to say goodbye, Ye Caidi took advantage of Gu Lieyang's inattention to tiptoe up to him, leaving a deep red lip mark on one side of his cheek.
"I'm very happy today, thank you."
After lowering his head and saying this, Ye Caidi ran away with small steps, leaving Gu Lieyang standing there in a daze watching her leaving figure... After a long time, he turned around with disgust on his face and turned back.
Go.
His original intention was to make it clear to Ye Caidi, but why was she happier now? Is this a proper reaction to being rejected? She even took the initiative to kiss him. He didn't understand what was going on in her mind. Gu Lie
Yang had a gloomy face all the way. When he walked back to the original place, he saw that Mo Lanyue and Liu Jueming were still chatting. He couldn't help but feel even more depressed, so he walked over with a dark face.
Mo Lanyue's sharp eyes were the first to spot him, and she quickly stopped him. However, the louder she shouted, the faster Gu Lieyang walked. She left Liu Jueming and chased after him, full of displeasure.
He complained, "Third Highness, why do you keep running away the more I call you? You owe me money and haven't paid it back."
She meant it as a joke, but Gu Lieyang turned his head and yelled at her very seriously, "I don't owe you anything, it's always you who owes me, right?"
After yelling, he stopped walking and returned to Ziyang Palace angrily. Mo Lanyue was yelled at inexplicably by him and had no intention of having a banquet. She walked back to Ziyang Palace half a step slower than him. As soon as she entered the door, she
I saw the palace maids and eunuchs standing in a row in the hall, and even the thirty guards under her were present. They all buried their heads in their chests and did not dare to let out their breath. And the person sitting in front of them was their master, Gu.
Fierce sun.
As if he was lecturing, Mo Lanyue looked at the group of poor guys below and couldn't bear to exhort, "Your Highness, if you have any objections to me, just say it. Don't bring harm to Chi Yu. Hey.
?Aren’t you from Zige Palace? Why are you here?”
As she got closer, she discovered that the eunuch closest to Gu Lieyang was not from her palace. She had been to Gu Liege's place several times and was very familiar with this person.
"I have made it very clear just now. Please go ahead and report any news as soon as possible."
Gu Lieyang waved his hand, and the row of slaves in front of him immediately retreated. Mo Lanyue saw them swarming out, and walked out of the palace one by one, "Where are they going?"
A strike? She secretly muttered to herself.
"You should go back first and disperse the people in the palace to look for him."
"yes."
Gu Lieyang gave an order and even the remaining eunuch left. Then he looked at Mo Lanyue, "I'm not childish enough to take it out on others. I just returned to the palace and heard that Xiao Duzi was already here.
After waiting for a long time, after careful questioning, I found out that my fifth brother has never returned to the palace since he left the palace to look for you. Even the thirty guards he took out of the palace with him have not returned. There is no news at all. Xiao Duzi is worried
, and didn’t dare to go to my father to talk about this, so he came to me.”
"So you gathered everyone in the palace to find someone in the palace?"
Gu Lieyang nodded, crossed his hands on his chest, "I have also sent a team of soldiers outside the palace to look for him, but based on my guess, he may be locked up somewhere like you."
"Do you suspect that the Fourth Prince did it?"
She calmed down and thought about it carefully. It was impossible for Gulege to still be in the palace. It would be a waste of time to search in the palace. Guliefeng had already caught her once and she escaped without asking anything. He had no reason.
Would you be stupid enough to capture another Guleg and torture him?!
If he wanted to do this, wouldn't it be Sima Zhao's intention that everyone on the road would know? Anyone would think that the matter was related to him, so they would go to him directly and search the palace again. Then everything would be clear. Why would he bother to trap himself there?
A disadvantageous situation.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. Fifth brother and I have always been close. He knows it. He will arrest you because you have a very close relationship with me."
"I'll go ask the Fourth Prince later. There are too many grievances between you. It's not helpful to have conflicts whenever you talk. Besides, I always feel that it's impossible for him to use the same trick twice. Your Highness should send more people out of the palace.
It is more appropriate to search for him. After all, His Highness the Fifth left the palace because he was looking for me. If he returns to the palace, there will be a record of his entry into the palace. If he is kidnapped and brought back to the palace, it will be too troublesome."
"You're right, I don't think the secret room in Zifeng Palace will still be useful. Then you should go to Zifeng Palace."
After Gu Lieyang finished explaining, he was not idle either. He went back to his room, changed his clothes and left the palace.
Everyone in Ziyang Palace was sent out to look for people by Gu Lieyang. Mo Lanyue wandered around Nuo Da's palace for a long time alone, bringing some food to Zuo Qiu's room.
At this time, Zuo Qiu already recognized her and would not hit anyone randomly if she was touched. When Mo Lanyue brought the food in, he was sitting on the bedside reading a book.
"Did something happen outside? Suddenly everyone ran away, and the surroundings were surprisingly quiet."
Zuo Qiu's ability to recover and adapt to life in the palace so quickly was beyond Mo Lanyue's expectation. She came closer and did not answer the question.
"What are you reading?"
"History book."
Zuo Qiu raised her eyes and looked at her eyes with silver light shining in her eyes. No matter how many times she looked at his silver eyes, she still felt that it was very strange. How many people could have such a strange eye? She didn't know, anyway.
That's right, it's rare. She's not superstitious like ordinary people. To her, such eye color only makes her think his eyes are beautiful.
"Don't try to control the humans here."
She waved to him, and Zuo Qiu put down the book in his hand and walked towards her.
"You are responsible for raising me, what else do I want to think about."
"No... can you, the king, be more ambitious?"
Mo Lanyue couldn't help but laugh and said, it was the first time she had seen a man who was openly and openly called a woman, but she just thought he was cheating, he was childish and cute, but it did not damage his image in her eyes.
Remembering that she had important things to attend to, she put down her food and left the room.
Gu Liefeng was sitting at the host's table in the main hall of Zifeng Palace. He smiled at Mo Lanyue who came to the door, and sent someone to bring cakes and tea, as if nothing unpleasant had ever happened between them.
"Thanks to His Highness the Fourth Highness for speaking up for me regarding Princess Caidi. Although I didn't come here specifically to express my gratitude this time, I still want to thank Your Highness the Fourth Highness."
Gu Liefeng gave instructions to the maid next to him, and after the maid left, he continued, "I'm just telling the truth. Cai Die is unruly and willful, and I don't want to indulge her arrogance. What do you want from me? I thought
, you will never take the initiative to come to my palace to find me in this life."
Mo Lanyue looked around and saw that there were no maids waiting in the hall, which made it easier for her to talk, so she stood up and said, "Let me just ask, if His Highness the Fourth Prince doesn't know, don't be so quick to get angry."
"Say, I'm not angry."
"Your Highness, does he know where the Fifth Highness is now?"
Mo Lanyue stared into Gu Liefeng's eyes and spoke slowly.
A trace of surprise flashed in Gu Liefeng's eyes, and then he answered affirmatively, "I don't know. Since the last time they came to my dormitory to look for someone, I have never seen him in private except for formal occasions."
"Oh. That's right."
She nodded thoughtfully, looking at her toes in a daze. Guleg had always dealt with people tactfully. Even if they were in different positions, he could still smile and maintain a superficial friendly relationship. He would never be easy to deal with.
He was so angry that he couldn't find a home. How could an ordinary person touch him? Do you think the thirty guards around him were stupid?
