Chapter 126 If you can’t get it right, why bother?
"The king is just worried about her and wants to see her. Let's do this. The old lady sent someone to invite Xi Yan over. The king wants to know if she is okay." Zhou Xing did not refute the old lady's face and gave in.
.
The old lady had no choice but to ask Cigu to go to Xiyuan to invite someone.
Gu Xiyan knew that it was Zhou Xing who wanted to see her, but she was reluctant in every possible way.
Ci Gu knew that she was unwilling to do so, and advised: "I know that the eldest lady does not want to see His Highness King Qin, but if the eldest girl does not go to see His Highness King Qin, His Highness will come to Xiyuan to find the eldest girl. The old lady tried her best to block His Highness King Qin, but she still stopped her.
His Highness cannot help but be determined to see the eldest girl."
Gu Xiyan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and finally followed Ci Gu to Kuanhe Hall.
That night, Zhou Mu hurried back to the Zhou Mansion and asked Qi Zhiyuan to deliver the news. He wanted to see Gu Xiyan to make sure she was okay.
I didn't expect Min'er to appear directly from the secret passage this time. When they saw Min'er, everyone knew that something had happened.
Min'er went to Zhou Mu and met Li before reporting Zhou Xing's visit to Wanqinghou Mansion.
"At this moment, Miss Gu has gone to Kuanhe Hall. The Liu family are all present. His Highness King Qin must not be able to do anything to Miss Gu. Sir, please be at ease."
It was because it was too slow for her to deliver the news, so she came over in person to reply to the news.
"It's Zhou Xing again." Zhou Mu's picturesque brows were stained with a thin layer of frost, and his voice seemed to be tempered with ice slag, which can freeze people.
Qi Zhiyuan quietly stayed away from his young master and said indignantly: "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is so hateful! He clearly broke off the engagement with Miss Gu, but he still had plans for Miss Gu. I think that the marriage of Miss Gu should be settled as soon as possible so that it can be settled once and for all.
What do you think, Master?"
The young master is worried about not being able to maintain his health, so he is not in a hurry to confess his feelings to Miss Gu.
But Miss Gu is surrounded by tigers and wolves, and everyone is not a good person.
But he saw that Young Master Xu also left the Yamen early, and he might have come for Miss Gu.
He was only worried that if the young master didn't take action, another man would snatch Miss Gu away.
"I think you talk too much." Zhou Mu looked in the direction next door with a deep look in his eyes.
Qi Zhiyuan slapped his mouth and stepped aside, not daring to say any more.
He could understand the young master's thoughts to a certain extent. It was just because he cared too much that he was afraid of hurting Miss Gu. Miss Gu was so beautiful and so young. If one day she followed the young master and his condition worsened, wouldn't Miss Gu have to be a widow? "Min'er, you go back to the Marquis Mansion first and keep an eye on her nearby. If Zhou Xing dares to do anything to Miss Gu, just do it without any scruples." It took Zhou Mu a while before he issued an order.
Min'er responded: "Yes, I will resign!"
Xu Yanqing came to Wanqinghou Mansion later than Zhou Mu.
He came uninvited, but the concierge whispered to him: "Mr. Xu, it's inconvenient right now. His Royal Highness King Qin is here. Do you want to come to visit another day?"
The concierge is from Wan Qinghou. He knows that His Highness King Qin is here for the eldest daughter, and Mr. Xu is also here for the eldest daughter.
The reputation of the eldest girl is not good. If His Highness the King of Qin sees Young Master Xu and gets into conflict, wouldn't it be more difficult for the eldest girl to behave as a human being?
When Xu Yanqing heard that Zhou Xing was coming, his heart trembled.
He really wanted to enter the Marquis Mansion and tell Gu Xiyan not to be afraid and that he would protect her.
But he couldn't appear rashly, otherwise he might anger Zhou Xing and put Gu Xiyan in danger.
"I was the one who was rude. Farewell!" Xu Yanqing retreated a little further. He originally wanted to get on the carriage, but when he glanced at the Zhou Mansion next door, he did not hesitate. He planned to go to the Zhou Mansion for a while and make sure that Gu Xiyan was okay before leaving.
.
Cai Yu felt dizzy when he saw Xu Yanqing. He didn't dare to let people in. He asked Zhou Mu what he wanted before inviting Xu Yanqing in.
Xu Yanqing was brought to the pavilion. At that time, Zhou Mu took off his official robe and put on white clothes. He sat in the pavilion with clear eyebrows and elegant eyes, just like an immortal in a painting.
No matter how many times he sees Zhou Mu, Xu Yanqing will always be amazed by Zhou Mu's good skin. Even though he is also a man, he also has a good skin.
Zhou Mu raised his head and glanced at Xu Yanqing, his thin lips parted slightly: "Sit down."
Xu Yanqing sat down opposite Zhou Mu. At this time, Zhou Mu poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
He took a sip and couldn't help but exclaimed: "Good tea!"
"Why did you come today?"
Zhou Mu's expression was indifferent, and his pure black pupils were astonishingly deep, reminding Xu Yanqing of a beast before hunting.
He was obviously a prince who was like an immortal, but he always felt that this person was very dangerous.
I don’t know what kind of family could have raised such a complicated and contradictory husband as Zhou Mu.
"I just passed by Wanqing Hou Mansion. I originally wanted to visit the Marquis, but the concierge told me that His Highness King Qin was at the Hou Mansion. I had nowhere to go and didn't want to go home so soon, so I came to Brother Zhou to sit for a while." Xu Yanqing said.
, sighed softly: "Brother Zhou, tell me, why did His Highness King Qin appear in Wanqinghou Mansion at this time?"
He came here for Gu Xiyan, Zhou Mu also hurried home, and Zhou Xing also came to Wanqinghou Mansion at this time, which made him think too much.
The news of Zhou Xing's divorce was widely spread in the capital. Everyone knew that it was Zhou Xing who did not want Gu Xiyan, and it was Zhou Xing who made Gu Xiyan the laughing stock of the whole city.
Today, Gu Xiyan has once again become the talk of the city. At this time, Zhou Xing came to the Hou Mansion, what did he want to do?
"Master Xu, what do you think of King Qin?" Zhou Mu did not answer Xu Yanqing's question, but threw the question back.
"Although he is quite talented, he is headstrong, unpredictable and ruthless." Xu Yanqing replied bluntly.
If he is not a good candidate for the crown prince, he dare not tell the truth.
Zhou Mu was a little surprised by Xu Yanqing's straightforwardness, "Aren't you afraid that I will spread what you said?"
"Brother Zhou is not such a person. Besides, I don't think Brother Zhou likes His Highness King Qin either." Xu Yanqing disagreed.
Just now, Zhou Mu directly called Zhou Xing "Prince of Qin" instead of His Highness. There was no respect for Zhou Xing in his tone. This shows that in Zhou Mu's eyes, the prince Zhou Xing is just like that.
Zhou Mu didn't shy away from it: "I really don't like King Qin."
If it weren't for Zhou Xing, Gu Xiyan's reputation wouldn't have been ruined like this.
Since such a person cannot stay together, why would he want to provoke Gu Xiyan? Gu Xiyan is such a good girl, but Zhou Xing still wants to be a concubine. What does he think he is?
Xu Yanqing felt that Zhou Mu seemed to be somewhat popular, but he was really curious about which Zhou family in the capital could raise a person like Zhou Mu.
He checked all the Zhou families in the capital and found no particularly outstanding noble family. Of course, except for the royal family.
Since Zhou Mu is a third-grade official, it cannot be a pseudonym.
What puzzled him the most was that Zhou Mu, a third-rank official, had never gone to court since the day he was on duty, and Emperor Chengde actually did not reprimand him for this matter. This was unreasonable.
"I wonder if His Highness the King of Qin has given any trouble to Miss Gu?" Xu Yanqing's eyes fell on Zhou Mu's face.
