Poisonous Consort: Prince, Don’t Flirt - Chapter 138
One couldn’t differentiate between people and things in one go.
Gu Mingyan was resting by day and went out by himself, pretending to not know that Gu Zhiyuan had been unconscious for a long time.
When night fell, Gu Xu would quietly come over and tell them that the courtyard next to hers was a woodshed, but she was too lazy to get angry. She thought that since there was only a single wall outside of the same mansion, what wouldn’t be possible?
He had nothing to teach Gu Mingyan, and could not answer his brother’s questions from time to time, so he simply passed the Fortune test into his hands. However, he was shocked by his brother’s chicken claws, and suddenly realized how to write.
“These words can’t even compare to the words’ Shengan ‘, right?”
Gu Mingyan shook his head as he read the article.
His brother’s cheeks immediately puffed up, and grabbed the paper, wanting to tear it to pieces. However, Gu Mingyan smiled and pulled it back, tidied it up, placed it into a drawer, and laughed: “Big sister must keep it, I will have to laugh at you in the future.”
Gu Xu originally wanted to attack, but after thinking about how the old injuries on Gu Mingyan’s back had yet to heal, he ended up obediently not attacking.
It was just that the strength of the writing had increased again, and was only teased to such an extent by Gu Mingyan. When he became angry, he would not look at her, and Gu Mingyan would then rush over to coax him, which was actually quite interesting.
It was different from the circumstances of the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
However, Shuang Hua, who was in the Seventh Prince’s residence, was anxious. He hurriedly arrived at Xiao Qiran’s study and said in a low voice, “Your Highness, the Emperor rejected the invitation for you to enter the palace. He only asked Eunuch Bai to bring a message over.”
Xiao Qiran’s face sank, as he too, did not know in his heart why his royal father wanted to drag Gu Mingyan into this.
Even though his royal father doted on him, his Emperor’s Art did not slacken him at all.
Two days ago, he had been rejected as he entered the palace. He told the crown prince and the other royal brothers to watch him make a fool of himself, but he did not care about that at all, he only thought of how Wei Bai had hurried over a few days ago, and said that Gu Mingyan had been beaten up by the prime minister so that he could not get off his bed. Then, on the other day, he said that the prime minister had mysteriously lied on his bed.
They only said to the outside world that Prime Minister Gu Zhiyuan knew that there was no way he could teach a girl, and that he himself had forbidden her for half a month to take responsibility for her actions.
When the emperor promised, the court officials wanted to take advantage of this half a month to enter. However, before they could deliver the paper money to the emperor, they heard the warning from the white-haired father-in-law of the emperor, “Seniors, don’t be impatient. The divine will is unpredictable, and the heavenly might is still there.”
A few people with discerning eyes already knew that it was the white-haired eunuch who stopped them.
What Ye Xiao said clearly showed that the king didn’t say anything to dissuade them. The others hurriedly took the paper back and continued to think about their own plans.
But now, he didn’t know what words this white haired eunuch had sent him.
“Speak!” Xiao Qiran was serious towards this father-in-law.
“Your Eunuch said that this was a matter of the Emperor’s love for his son, but unfortunately, there was someone who was ambitious and wanted to teach him a lesson.”
These words were actually quite clear.
At this moment, Xiao Qiran’s previous fury was only left with a bit of ashes, and was dispirited while sitting in this wheelchair.
Imperial Father had always treated him extremely well, and was afraid that in the future when he said that he would give his all to Gu Mingyan, Royal Father would already accept this future daughter-in-law, but because Prime Minister Gu Zhiyuan had already gathered many powers, although his achievements would not shake the world, but he could do so due to his own selfish desire.
After thinking about it a few times, royal father probably used Gu Mingyan’s name to warn Prime Minister’s Mansion.
It just so happened that he got the title of being unkind to his son and daughter, and took the opportunity to make Gu Mingyan not be on good terms with his father. He came to Seventh Prince to marry him, and was still thinking about the family of the prime minister.
Although royal father’s intentions were good, this retribution was on Gu Mingyan.
It was not good for Xiao Qiran to criticize his father, but he could not bear to see Gu Mingyan, who had a weak body in the first place, be beaten up by his father for taking the risk of getting beaten up.
Unexpectedly, Shuang Hua cried out in surprise at the side, and immediately said: “Come to think of it, Young Miss’s Han Li’s courtyard is only one wall away from the market, maybe I can scout it at night.”
After he regained his senses, the gloom in Xiao Qiran’s eyes became even deeper, and his fingertips tightened on the armrest.
This Gu Zhiyuan really knew how to treat his own daughter.
With his veins popping, Shuang Hua realized that his highness was deeply in love with his eldest daughter. On the other hand, he was worried that his eldest daughter had become her highness’ weakness, so he could only stand on the spot and comfort her in a low voice.
“Your Highness, the most important thing to do is to check on the Eldest Miss.”
“Send someone to investigate.” Xiao Qiran retracted a bit of his killing intent and slowly closed his eyes. He leaned into the wheelchair and closed his eyes to rest his mind: “Send some more things to Eunuch Bai and let Eunuch Bai talk about it. Moreover, the antidote is in Gu Mingyan’s hands.
“I will send someone over now. At night, Wei Bai will follow you.”
Shuang Hua nodded solemnly and agreed, then immediately left the courtyard.
Wei Bai had only sent out spies for around two incense sticks of time, and upon hearing the news, he kneeled beside Xiao Qiran with a gloomy face. He stuttered for a long time, then said softly: “There’s no one around the First Miss’s courtyard, it’s not guarded.”
Gu Zhiyuan was unconscious, how could the Madam Liu care about such a small bastard?
However, Xiao Qiran had broken a corner of the armrest, and with the burst of Qi, even Wei Bai’s forehead started to ooze fine sweat.
No wonder the Madam Liu had sent out assassins, they were not afraid of being destroyed.
It was no wonder that her vital energy and blood were both weak. Back then, she could actually go to the gates of hell to save him.
Suppressing the dissatisfaction in his heart, Xiao Qiran silently processed the documents, and waited for nightfall.
The moon hung high in the sky as a cold wind suddenly blew.
Xiao Qiran didn’t even have to jump before stepping on the bricks at the side of the Prime Minister’s Mansion. From afar, the Prime Minister’s Mansion was brightly lit, but there was no one around, and outside the door, the path was pitch black without any people. In the corner of the mansion, there was only the faint glow of a candle inside the Master’s house.
Xiao Qiran inexplicably calmed down a little, and brought Wei Bai to a corner of the courtyard, but did not continue walking forward.
Xiao Qiran frowned and raised his hand, but heard Wei Bai say: “That is Gu Xu, the younger brother of the half-brother of the young miss.”
Only then did Xiao Qiran stop.
Before Gu Xu could step on the stairs, the door was pulled open and Gu Mingyan walked out.
Her cheeks were slightly sunken, and there were still two bruises on them. Now that she saw Gu Xu with a smile on her face, and the two wrists that were exposed, were even more slender, stepping on the silvery-white moonlight, she made Xiao Qiran feel as if his wrists were about to break any second.
Gu Xu’s body hadn’t even fully grown up yet, but he wasn’t any shorter than the petite Gu Mingyan. Right now, he was buried in her bosom, but he still carefully placed the bundle by his side, not bumping into his elder sister.
“You hit me like this everyday, do you really think that your sister doesn’t hurt?”
Gu Mingyan staggered a step backwards from the hug, and landed a light punch on the back of his head.
