"You're right. Of all the princes, aside from Xiao Yi Bei, you're the most prosperous one." If those few people from Xin Ziyao's group were still around, then the Mo King's Manor would simply be a cluster of flowers.
"Where am I flourishing? I've never touched a woman but you. " Speaking of which, he had been busy with matters of the court and had a heavy heart. He took off the red veil on her face and said, "Can you not be like this in the house all day? It would be troublesome even if I wanted to kiss you."
He reached over and pecked her cherry red lips. Seeing her blushing face, he became even more intoxicated. He deepened the kiss, pestering her and refusing to let go.
"You …" She protested vaguely, and was quickly stopped again, unable to speak.
A sudden knock on the door interrupted the charming atmosphere in the room. With a blush on her face, Gu Qingli tidied up her clothes and opened the door.
Liu Yanyu was standing outside the door. When she saw his, her eyes widened in disbelief. Following which, her gaze slid down her face and he stood there stiffly.
"What's wrong, Mister Liu?" Gu Qingli subconsciously stroked her face. Could it be that there was something on her face?
Liu Yanyu seemed to come back to his senses and forced a smile, "It's fine."
Lowering his head, he turned and left.
Gu Qing Li was lost in confusion. Xiao Yi Xiu had appeared behind her at some point. He put his arm around her shoulders and looked at her back, saying lightly, "He likes you."
"Huh?" She thought about it for a moment. Although Liu Yanyu had never stated it clearly, his words and actions seemed to express this intention everywhere. But so what? She never seemed to have done anything to make him misunderstand.
Xiao Yi Xiu pulled her face closer to him and caressed her face with his fingertips before chuckling, "You're so silly. He likes Li Yue, not Princess Mo, but your clothes …" He's already found out who you are. "
Gu Qingli covered her mouth. She had forgotten about that. She was wearing the same clothes as Li Yue, but the red veil had just been torn off by Xiao Yi Xiu.
"I have to explain it to him."
She had just taken a step when she was stopped by Xiao Yixiu. His face was frosty as he stared at her and asked, "How do you want to explain this? You promised to accompany him back to Divine Doctor Valley, and now you want to fulfill your promise? "
"You even know about this?" Gu Qing Li was a bit embarrassed and rebuked, "You've been having the shadow guards watch me all day, haven't you?"
"Of course not, otherwise I would have discovered long ago that you are Li Yue. Don't change the subject, do you want to leave with Liu Yanyu? "
"Of course not! At that time, she had only agreed to his request to spar with Valley Master Luo. Although she had agreed, she had not said when. When everything in the capital has settled down and you're no longer busy, you'll accompany me there, okay? "
Xiao Yixiu's cold face loosened slightly. Looking at her expectant gaze, he pinched her tender cheeks, "Okay. But you must answer a question. Back then, you were only there to spar with Luo Yun and not to avoid me? "
Gu Qingli rolled her eyes and laughed dryly, "No …" How could this happen? "
Xiao Yixiu fixed her jaw, and lightly bit her lips in a punitive manner, "Go and explain it to him, be careful."
"Stingy."
Gu Qing Li used a voice that only he could hear to whisper as he flew away from Qin Lie's side. He then asked, "What are you talking about?"
Gu Qingli forced out a smile. After walking around the Moon Ripple Pavilion, she couldn't find Liu Yanyu. It was as if she had said that he had never returned to the yard after he had gone to find the prince.
Gu Qingli thought for a moment before returning to Xiaoyao's garden.
Looking into the distance, the garden was still full of flowers and flowers, and even the fragrance of herbs was still wafting in the air. She had gone to Chi Yue for three months and had neglected to take care of him when she returned. It must have been all thanks to Liu Yanyu.
She had a complicated feeling in her heart as she slowed down her pace and approached the wooden house.
The wooden table and chairs inside the house, which had originally been destroyed in the fire, were completely repaired. A person stood in the spotless room, supporting the table with a somewhat absent-minded expression.
"Mister Liu."
Liu Yanyu suddenly turned around. His light green clothes accentuated his pale, jade-like face, giving him a sense of loneliness and sadness.
When he saw Gu Qingli, his gaze flickered for a moment before it dimmed. Subconsciously avoiding her face, he said softly, "What is the reason for your visit?"
"Sir Liu, you've actually guessed it. That's right, I am Li Yue."
Liu Yanyu's face turned even paler and he remained silent.
"The reason why I didn't tell you was because … "It's not that I'm hiding it from you, it's just that Xiao Yixiu and I were suspicious of each other, wary of each other, and even hurt each other. I appeared as Li Yue, but I just wanted to get rid of him, so naturally we couldn't let him know."
She sighed and told him everything that had happened after their wedding night. At this point in time, there was nothing left for her to hide. Liu Yanyu was a modest gentleman who would never casually reveal her identity or do anything that would harm her.
Liu Yanyu looked at her in disbelief, as if he had heard a fantasy.
"So, that side concubine who married into the palace was actually only a fake Li Yue? Your sister Gu Qingxiao? "
Gu Qingli nodded.
Liu Yanyu once again fell silent. No matter how bizarre the truth was, it couldn't change the fact that she was Princess Mo.
The girl he secretly admired had finally entered the embrace of another, and he would never have another chance.
"If you promise me, the promise that you will go to the Valley of the Godly Doctor, then … "Let the wind blow." he asked slowly. In fact, even if she did go, what could she do?
"I... "He'll go, but I won't go alone. Xiao Yi Xiu said he will stay with me."
Liu Yanyu wanted to laugh out loud, but Xiao Yi Xiu would accompany her. Was that his intention? She knew that he was only inviting her for a drink, but...
He only gave a faint smile and said in a soft voice, "Among the princes, there are dragons and phoenixes. I will bless you."
"Young master Liu …" Gu Qingli was speechless. She didn't know how to comfort him, but she knew it was all for naught.
"Yun'er has already been back in the Valley of the Godly Doctor for a long time, so it's about time for me to go back as well." He regained some of his composure and tried to look less desolate.
"Mister Liu …" "Take care."
Liu Yanyu nodded and silently walked past her. Perhaps they might meet again in the future, but all they could do was nod and smile.
Gu Qing Li stood silently at the door of the wooden house for an unknown period of time. A cold wind brushed against her cheeks, lifting her hair to float slightly messy beside her cheeks. A warm hand lifted it behind her ear.
She suddenly recovered from her shock and saw Xiao Yi Xiu standing in front of her. His clothes were white like snow and his posture was straight. There was a trace of pity in his eyes.
"He's gone?"
"Mm, I don't think he'll ever return to the Palace again. Would you be sad if you lost this good friend of yours? "
"I won't lose this friend of mine. We don't necessarily have to see each other every day, even if we know each other. Yet you, with a face filled with disappointment, want to go and take him back? "
Gu Qingli sneered, "What a strong smell of vinegar. This is the medicine garden, not the vinegar workshop."
Xiao Yixiu looked at her with a smile that was not a smile. "You are the one who blossomed all over the place and provoked the butterflies."
"Xiao Yi Xiu!"
Without waiting for Gu Qing Li's scowl, he had already picked her up by the waist and ignored her struggles to refuse as he walked out of the medicine garden.
