Chapter 119 Chapter 119 The Real Prince

Emei moon, the moon is in the middle of the sky, the stars are lonely and the weather is sultry, and the evening primrose on the window is fragrant, but the people Gu Mingluan has been waiting for for a long time never come.

She walked around the room anxiously, and the candlelight on the table cast her silhouette on the window lattice.

It seems to be waiting for the lover to be shy and urgent.

As time passed by, Gu Mingluan added another pot of evening primrose on the window sill in desperation.

This is a cipher that should only be placed in an emergency.

The night wind is blowing, the willows are whirling, and in the shadow of the fluttering palace lanterns, someone comes at night.

The ghost-faced gentleman was wearing a dark night clothes, covering the wound on his body.

"What's the matter calling me over so urgently?"

As soon as Gu Mingluan saw people coming, he eagerly went up to them, "They said you were injured, are you seriously injured?"

The suspicious ghost-faced gentleman forbids anyone to approach, "You put out two pots of evening primrose just to ask me this?"

He waved his sleeves to shake away those who approached, "I risked my life to come to see you, Gu Mingluan, do you take yourself too seriously!"

Gu Mingluan's face turned red and then turned white, and she opened her mouth as if she was seriously hurt by the words of the ghost-faced gentleman.

"You just care about you, is there anything wrong with that?"

But she only dared to say such words in her heart, and she stood there anxiously.

"The reason why I asked you to come is because the First Prince was here just now."

The ghost-faced gentleman who was already about to turn his head and leave, couldn't help but stop when he heard this sentence.

The eldest prince is obsessed with Gu Mingluan, he doesn't know how many times he will come and see him in a day, he knows about it.

"What did he tell you?"

Gu Mingluan really wanted to tell him that the eldest prince said that he wanted to marry her, but when she looked at the ghost-faced gentleman who deliberately kept a distance from her, she couldn't help feeling a little bitter in her heart.

"He said that Emperor Wei's life is not long."

"what!"

The ghost-faced gentleman was really surprised, he looked at Gu Aman suspiciously, and then looked around warily.

Gu Mingluan didn't know anything about his behavior, "You actually doubt me."

This is even more uncomfortable than scolding her.

Thinking that the person in front of him was a pawn carefully set by him, Ghost Faced Lord could hardly hold back his emotions.

"As far as I know, Emperor Wei's court is stable after he was seriously injured. According to the news from Liu Yuan, at least Emperor Wei's life is safe."

He paused, why is there completely different news from Gu Mingluan? This is doubtful for anyone, has the other party betrayed?
Gu Mingluan firmly believed in the news revealed by the eldest prince, "This is all Liu Yuan deliberately released to fool the audience."

"Emperor Wei's situation is not as good as before. The reason why the eldest prince told me this is because he wanted to ask me if other princes ascended the throne, would I like to live with him in the side courtyard fief?"

Gu Mingluan was categorical, "The eldest prince will not lie to me about this kind of thing."

Ghost Faced Lord was still suspicious, "What else did he say?"

Gu Mingluan briefly talked about the conversation between the two of them. When she said, "The eldest prince proposes to marry him", she seemed to look at the ghost-faced gentleman opposite.

She wanted to see a different expression from under his jaunty face, but she was doomed to be disappointed.

After listening to the cause and effect, Mr. Ghost Face only replied "I see".

Seeing that he was about to leave, Gu Mingluan boldly grabbed a corner of his sleeve lightly.

When the ghost-faced gentleman turned his head, Gu Mingluan's cheeks were blushing, like the faintly smudged pink on a flower bone. Before the ghost-faced gentleman could say anything, she hurriedly let go of it as if her hands were burning.

"I may be leaving this palace soon, if there is any news from me, how should I inform you?"

Her charming face looked at him earnestly, and those beautiful pupils shone brightly, shining on him like a beautiful light, "Will you come to Gu's mansion to find me? Or... I will go to you .”

The ghost-faced gentleman looked down at her expressionlessly, he watched the other party look into his eyes, as if he had seen the whole desire of the other party.

Under the mask, he slowly raised the corners of his mouth, and with the back of his hand that smelled of drugs, he slowly scratched Gu Mingluan's bright and charming face, as charming and slow as a lover, "I haven't left yet, you are already so impatient Want to see me?"

Gu Mingluan's cheeks were blushing, and he had hammered long eyelashes, trembling like a deer, like falling in love and unable to restrain himself.

She heard the other party speak.

Cool and sweet, but also magnetic.

"The eldest prince is really not suitable for you."

The ghost-faced gentleman said slowly, "Your beautiful face should stand beside the third prince."

The palm that was rubbing against her cheek suddenly withdrew, "Make good use of your only weapon, I want the First Prince and the Third Prince to turn against your brother."

Gu Mingluan's heart was cold, and when she looked up, the figure who came by night had disappeared.

She couldn't help stretching out her hand, and pressed it against the cheek that had just been touched, as if she could still feel the warmth of the other person staying there.

"The only weapon?"

Born to be charming, only for Gu Zhoulang.

Gu Mingluan muttered to himself, "Are you also moved by this face?"

But apparently no one could answer her.

In the unlit study room, someone reported one by one what happened after the eldest prince left.

The tall and unfathomable figure hidden in the darkness behind the desk, his arms propped on the desk, revealed a silent color in the darkness.

"Gu Mingluan."

The figure in the darkness couldn't help chuckling, "You really belong to him."

"Master, next..."

"Mix the water."

He smiled softly, "The Empress Dowager can't sit still."

The spies led the order to go out, and when there was no one in the room, the figure in the darkness slowly pulled out the fire folder on the table, and a ray of fire slowly lit up on the fire folder.

The faint light illuminated that supposedly elegant and humble side face, but the face was still warm but could not be found anymore.

If Gu Mingluan was there, he would be able to accurately identify the person in front of him, and formally and quietly tell her that "Emperor Wei's life is not long" the eldest prince.

The First Prince held the fire folder and gracefully lit the candles on the table.

The beating light attracted an unknown number of flying mosquitoes and insects in the dark night. A reckless moth followed the light without hesitation and hit the unshielded candle first.

In an instant, his head was battered, and his body was smashed to pieces and fell to the ground.

But the death of one moth cannot stop the enthusiasm of more flying insects.

Countless flying insects came and went, and this candle lit up in the dark night was like the supreme golden dragon throne in the eyes of everyone.

When the rumor that "Emperor Wei might not be able to survive" spread into everyone's ears like the wind, I don't know how many people in the dark were eager to move.

The eldest prince slowly blew out the torch in his hand.

"This is just the beginning..."
