Xiao Yixiu pinched the center of his brows, a headache coming on as he used his eyes to signal for Xiao Yiyan to shut up.

Gu Qingli laughed out loud. She felt that Xiao Yixiu's bedraggled state was a source of comfort to her. However, this happiness only lasted for a moment. Her gloomy mood couldn't be changed: "Xin Ziyao's child isn't yours. I have my reasons; if it wasn't for you, then Li Yue's child wouldn't have been trustworthy."

"Since This King has never touched her, where did she get the children from?" Xiao Yixiu gritted his teeth as he looked at her. "Are you forcing me to explain everything clearly?" It was only to marry her, to weave words in front of royal father. "

Gu Qingli opened her eyes wide, inexplicably happy. Her heart was beating so fast that it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest.

"You didn't touch her? You really didn't lie to me? "

Xiao Yixiu's mind was in a mess. He stretched out his hand a little, and without caring about what she wanted, he gripped her hand tightly, "What's there to be happy about? Go back with This King! It's the middle of the night for Royal Concubine Mo to run away with little uncle.

Gu Qingli didn't shake him off this time. She smiled and said, "Prince Mo, you've chased after your wife for thousands of miles. It would be better to hear about it if it got out."

When Xiao Yiyan saw her bright smile, which was like the moon in the sky, withdraw her sword, and her sword slowly moved away from Xiao Yixiu and her. It no longer blocked any of their attacks.

Xiao Yixiu pulled Gu Qing Li into his embrace with force, then bent over to pick her up before walking towards the horse.

"Hey, hey, let me go, I can walk by myself …" Gu Qingli's earlobes were burning red, and the closer she got to the shadow guards, the more she saw a strange smile appear on their originally expressionless faces. She wanted to hide it, wanted to restrain it, but she couldn't.

"Xiao Yi Xiu!" You've lost all my face! " She could do nothing but grind her teeth and mutter under her breath, burying her hot cheeks in his neck and not looking at anyone.

After that, Xiao Yi Xiu felt his body lighten as he was carried onto the back of the horse. He jumped onto the horse and wrapped his arms around her waist.

She still had her eyes closed, her shy expression causing her former arrogance and modesty to disappear without a trace.

She heard him softly whisper in her ear, "This King's face has also been lost by you. What should I do?" He had never been so out of control in front of his subordinates before. In fact, in front of anyone, he looked gentle, elegant, and distant. But now, he was holding a little girl affectionately, tightly hugging her as if he was afraid of losing her at any time.

"Humph, you deserve it!"

"..." Alright, you deserve it, but This King wants some compensation. "

Startled, she opened her eyes. "Not now!" No matter what, she could not accept the fact that Ma Zhen was such a vanguard.

He did not know whether to laugh or cry. Controlling the reins, he bent his head down and bit her earlobe. "It's such a public event. What do you think This King can do?"

The steed galloped along, bringing along a gust of wind that blew by her ears. It was cool and refreshing, but it was unable to extinguish the burning sensation around her body.

The shadow guards knew what was going on and steered their horses forward slowly. Soon, they were left without a trace.

The last person to remain motionless was Xiao Yiyan, who seemed to be in a gloomy mood. He was holding his sword in place while listening to the chirping of the insects. Why was this summer night so cold? It was as if it was late autumn.

After returning to the manor, those shadow guards had disappeared. Gu Qingli had always felt that these people who came and went like the wind were unfathomable. She wasn't sure how Xiao Yi Xiu trained them, nor did she know which corner of the palace they were hiding in. It was as if they were everywhere, but she had never seen them in broad daylight even though she had been in the palace for so long.

Xiao Yixiu held onto Gu Qing Li's slender waist, unwilling to put more strength into it. It was as if the slightest amount of strength would break his. He could only bend his head and look at her with pity.

"I also have a condition for coming back with you." She looked up at him with a sly look in her eyes.

"Hmm?"

"That Li Yue can never be between us."

She raised her hand to rub Xiao Yi's face, "Don't be so contradictory. I won't make it hard for you to choose."

He did not say anything as he silently walked with her into the Feng Zhaoxuan. They went around the image wall and across the veranda to see Gu Qingxiao leaning against the door. She wore red makeup, was wearing a phoenix coronet and robe, and had a hidden bitterness in her eyes.

When she saw that Xiao Yi Xiu had come over with Gu Qing Li in his arms, her eyes widened in fear, fury, and grief … Most of it was jealousy, jealousy.

"The prince told me that he had something to attend to and would return soon. In the end, he went for so long …" Gu Qingxiao ruefully bit his lower lip, his expression turning gentle and sad, as if he was an orphan girl who had been abandoned.

"Let's go in first." No matter what, this kind of family matter was not suitable to be loudly announced in the courtyard. It seemed that on the night of Ning Xi's wedding night, there were guards in the dark who could still see their movements.

Gu Qingxiao entered the new room, followed by Gu Qingli, who locked the door.

On the night of their wedding, the corridor was completely lit with red gauze wind lamps. In the bridal chamber, dragon and phoenix flowers and candles were dancing in the fiery light, the glazed palace lamps at the corners of the room were shining brightly, and the entire room was as bright as day. The ocher of the acid branches and sandalwood, the crimson of the muslin curtains, the red of the brocade sheets … Deep and shallow red, illuminated by the gentle light of the red candles and palace lanterns, the entire room was filled with joy.

Gu Qingli remembered that when she was brought back by Xiao Yixiu, the room hadn't even been lit with torches or phoenix flowers. There were only ordinary candlesticks lit, and there were also wind lanterns fluttering beneath the veranda.

On her wedding night, she was forced by the groom to feed her poison and then left alone in her bridal chamber.

In contrast to the luxurious entrance of a secondary concubine like Gu Qingxiao, she suddenly felt that Xiao Yixiu was biased towards her. She couldn't help but glare fiercely at him and decided to keep the accounts for a later date.

Xiao Yixiu didn't know that her train of thought had wandered back to a year ago. He only felt her indignant mood and subconsciously pulled her closer, afraid that she would run away in a fit of anger.

However, Gu Qingxiao seemed to understand where Gu Qingli's anger and disappointment had come from. She gracefully moved to stand in front of them and resentfully said, "Your Highness, you abandoned me on the night of your marriage. You actually left the estate to chase after your elder sister. "I don't dare to complain, but …" Even I said I'm up, this character changes really quickly.

Her bright and moving starry eyes blinked as sparkling and translucent tears rolled down his cheeks. She seemed to know how to act weak to make Xiao Yixiu feel guilty and moved. This was completely different from the domineering attitude he had when she was in the Prime Minister's Estate.

Only Gu Qingli knew what kind of rotten soul she was hiding beneath that pretentious and delicate appearance.

"Gu Qingxiao!" Gu Qingli intentionally or unintentionally stepped between the two of them. She looked straight at Gu Qingxiao and asked, "Do you not have a sister like me in your eyes?"

Only then did Gu Qingxiao turn to look at her. In an instant, her weak and mournful expression turned into a somewhat cold expression, "Although you are an older sister and a main wife, tonight is my wedding night. You have no reason to ask your highness to abandon me. Is that why you put on that play about running away from home? Don't you find it laughable? This kind of method, can you play it once or twice, and can you use the same method a thousand times to make the Prince ignore me? "
