On a wide and desolate street, Gu Shiyi was wandering on a deserted road with a sad expression. Behind her, Xiao Zhi's face was filled with impatience.
"Miss, where are we going?"
Xiao Zhi pretended to be out of breath. After they left the Duke Palaces, they had already been walking on this street for a long time.
Gu Shiyi did not say anything. She actually did not know where she should go either. Everyone said that she was the third daughter of the Prime Minister Gu Minghong.
"Miss, look, there are patrolling guards coming from the front. Should we hide?"
Xiao Zhi's face was filled with anxiety. When she said this, those people had already arrived at her place.
The two guards on horseback looked at Gu Shiyi and then shouted at the people behind.
"Reporting to Your Highness, there are two women here!"
Gu Shiyi was startled. Your Highness? Another member of the Situ Family?
Situ Xun was a little impatient. It was just two women, there was no need to announce it to him so loudly, and disturb his sweet dreams.
But when he walked closer and saw that the two women were Gu Shiyi and the Maidservant beside her, he was ecstatic.
After all, he had not seen Gu Shiyi ever since the New Year's feast, and after the wedding, he looked at the two concubines that he did not like, the one he missed more and more in his heart.
However, he never expected that he would meet her here, and looking at her coarse clothes, Situ Xun finally understood. The rumors that the relationship between Prince Su and his wife had changed was already like a foreign road, and it seemed that the rumors were true.
Since that was the case, did this mean that his chance had come?
"Eleven, it's so late. Why are you here?"
Situ Xun's face was filled with disbelief, but it caused Gu Shiyi to be stunned once again. How many people from the Situ Family does she know?
"Eleven, although it's already spring, it's still cold in the middle of the night, and you're still wearing such thin clothes."
Situ Xun quickly got off the horse and took off the cape on his body. The concern in his eyes was genuine.
Therefore, she did not reject Situ Xun's actions. She was indeed a little cold, and since she already had a child by herself, it was even more inappropriate for her to freeze.
Xiao Zhi stood at the side and looked at Situ Xun's situation, she was once again extremely jealous, and why is it like this, why does everyone only have her in their hearts, Gu Shiyi, Gu Shiyi is cold, is she not cold?
Although Xiao Zhi had covered it up well, this monstrous grievance could not help but leak out a little. Being stared at by the guards behind Situ Xun, they looked at him with faces full of ridicule.
"Thank you!"
Gu Shiyi expressed gratitude towards Situ Xun. When a person was at their most helpless and difficult times, she would remember the person who helped her for the rest of their lives.
"Why are you being so courteous with me? If you don't mind, my residence is always empty. Do you want to go there temporarily?"
Because of Gu Shiyi's "thank you", sshe immediately felt satisfied, and was even more certain that Gu Shiyi had met with some trouble. Otherwise, he wouldn't be wandering around the streets late at night.
"Then I'll be troubling you!"
Gu Shiyi thanked her once again. These words were like coal in the snow to her. Before she came out, she only remembered to bring out the Silver Snow Snake.
At that time, she only remembered the pleasure of setting fire to the house, but when she went out, she found it was difficult. She originally wanted to stay in an inn, but when the waiter heard that they had no money, he gave them a lustful look, forcing her to walk out onto the street again.
He planned to find a run-down temple to spend the night there, but he only took a glance at the door before he scared the two of them out again. It wasn't because of how poor the environment was, but because there were ten or so beggars in rags sleeping inside.
If the two of them were to enter, who could guarantee that the beggars wouldn't think too highly of them? She wasn't the only one, so she didn't want to gamble.
Xiao Zhi actually suggested returning to the Residence of Prime Minister, but as Gu Minghong was the Prime Minister, she definitely valued her dignity. If she were to suddenly return home like this, how would the people of the Residence of Prime Minister view her? What if he sent her packing back to the Prince Su Palace?
She did not mention these concerns to Xiao Zhi.
What she didn't know was that if she did, they might already be sleeping peacefully in the warm bed at the Prime Minister's Palace.
However, things were unpredictable. The last person she met was Situ Xun.
It was just that she had just promised Situ Xun, but Xiao Zhi had already started to oppose her. Gu Shiyi was puzzled, but she quickly pulled her to the side and whispered into her ear.
"Miss, he is the crown prince. He had previously annulled your marriage!"
Xiao Zhi hurriedly told her everything that happened in the past. No matter what, she could not let Gu Shiyi go with her, otherwise their plan would be in vain.
"Eleven, I didn't intend to end the engagement in the past, but I've always wanted to apologize to you for that. I just wanted you to know that you've always been the most important woman in my heart!"
Unexpectedly, the crown prince was also a martial artist, his hearing was astonishing, after Xiao Zhi finished speaking, Situ Xun walked up to Gu Shiyi and bowed to her 90 degrees.
Gu Shiyi had yet to react to the accident that Xiao Zhi had brought her, but Situ Xun's actions had once again shocked her.
Who would have thought that the dignified crown prince, who was below a single person, who was above tens of thousands of people, and even when speaking with his face to the sage, wouldn't need to perform such a great act? But now, he had bowed to her in such a manner, so how could she possibly bear it?
Even if he was to cancel the engagement with her, she would not have remembered any of those things. Yet, he still apologized to her in such a way!
"Crown Prince, please bring us to your house!"
Gu Shiyi revealed a smile. No matter what the crown prince thought of her, as long as he did not have any intentions of harming her, she would be fine. But right now, she really needed to rest, because the waves of discomfort that came from her body made her feel uneasy.
"Miss!"
Xiao Zhi stomped her feet, wanting to step forward and stop Gu Shiyi, but two spears suddenly extended over and blocked her way.
"Young lady, if you want to go, you can go. If you want to stop me, don't blame me for having no eyes!"
The two guards looked at Xiao Zhi's face, which was filled with killing intent. Just now, the crown prince had completely understood all of Gu Shiyi's bows, and he had also instantly understood the crown prince's intentions.
"Xiao Zhi, follow me!"
Gu Shiyi turned around, looking at Xiao Zhi's pale face, she couldn't help but frown as she tried to think of ways to stop him. What exactly did she mean by this?
