My Love Comes to See the Grass on my Grave - Chapter 8

Gu Lang was not interested in whether the crown prince took a fancy to the guards of the East Palace. He took off the saber from his waist, took another clean cloth, lit the candle, sat at the table and began to clean the knife.

Wu Qi looked at his profile under the candlelight, without blinking his eyes, and said: “I heard that the guard has a long body and a thin waist, and is very handsome. Brother Gu, you are born so beautiful, that guard… It can’t be you, right? ?”

Without raising his eyes, Gu Lang said, “I have never seen the prince.”

“You haven’t seen the prince,” Wu Qi said, “maybe the prince has seen you?”

Gu Lang was too lazy to talk to him.

Wu Qi didn’t give up and said, “Brother Gu, if the prince really likes you, what will you do?”

Gu Lang suddenly drew his knife and slashed the candle on the table into two pieces.

Wu Qi: “…” Do you want to be so cruel?

In the prime minister’s mansion, Gao Cheng sat in the front hall with his arms crossed.

Xu Zhiyan took a sip of tea and said to him: “General Gao, please rest assured, the old man will let people suppress the news as soon as possible, and it will not affect the prince’s marriage.”

Gao Cheng glanced at him and said, “Prince has a broken sleeve, are you willing to marry your daughter to him?”

Xu Zhiyan smiled and said: “It’s all unwarranted, the prince should not be…”

Gao Cheng: “How do you know he’s not?”

“Prince asked all day long, obsessed with cultivating immortals,” Xu Zhiyan said, “I have never had a male pet before. This news came suddenly, and it should be done by someone with a heart.”

“If that news is true, your daughter will be a widow if she is married.” Gao Cheng leaned over and approached Xu Zhiyan and said, “If not, how about marrying your daughter to me?”

Xu Zhiyan: “…”

In the backyard of the prime minister’s residence, Xu Jing’er, the daughter of the prime minister, hugged the maid, crying so hard, “I don’t believe it, how could the prince have a broken sleeve? He is so beautiful, how can he be a broken sleeve…”

“Miss, don’t be sad,” the maid gently patted her on the back and comforted, “Maybe it was someone outside talking nonsense.”

Xu Jing’er cried: “But, if it’s true, what should I do? Woohoo… Can he still find a man as good-looking as him?”

The little maid paused and said nothing.

The next day, the old emperor, who had been sick for a long time, summoned the prince to the imperial study.

“You don’t want to marry the prime minister’s daughter, so just find another excuse,” the old emperor said while coughing, “Why do you take these things that don’t exist…”

“It’s not false,” the prince said, kneeling in front of the emperor, “it’s all true.”

The emperor didn’t respond, “What?”

The prince said bluntly: “My son’s sweetheart is indeed a man.”

“You…cough…” The old emperor seemed to be so angry that he couldn’t speak. The prince hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and shouted to the door, “Quickly announce the imperial doctor!”

The imperial doctor came in a hurry, took the emperor’s pulse, and prescribed medicine. After the old emperor fell asleep, he withdrew with the prince.

“It’s hard work, the imperial physician.” The prince supported the imperial physician and said.

Imperial Physician Wang hurriedly cupped his hands and replied, “Your Highness is polite, it’s all within the responsibility of the ministers.”

“Hey, I’m all to blame today,” the crown prince said guiltily. “If I hadn’t told the royal father that my sweetheart is a man, the royal father would not have been angry.”

Doctor Wang: “…”

Wang Taiyi fought with his legs, hurriedly bid farewell to the prince, and ran away like the wind at his feet.

The prince slowly descended the stairs, and Wu Liu followed behind him, saying that he would send him back to the East Palace.

As they were walking, they suddenly saw a man turned from the front porch.

The prince took a closer look, his face changed, he turned around and was about to run, but suddenly bumped into Wu Liu behind him, and the two suddenly fell into a ball.

Gu Lang stood under the porch, looked at the two people who fell into a ball, and heard Wu Liu shouting “His Royal Highness”, he suddenly remembered Wu Qi said that the crown prince was interested in the guards of the East Palace.

Wu Liu also used to belong to the Eastern Palace, Gu Lang thought, could it be that the guard that the prince liked… was Wu Liu?
