Crown Jewels

Chapter 101 Meet Song Yan

After crushing the wine cup in Nian's hand, Gu Baozhu squinted his eyes uncertainly.

In the end, she collected her thoughts and thought about it, and decided to go and find out.

Gu Baozhu didn't rush to chase after Song Yan's figure, she waited in place for a long time.

The sound of silk and bamboo at the banquet changed twice, and then Gu Baozhu supported his forehead and whispered a few words to Shen Lanqing beside him.

Seeing Shen Lanqing nodding slightly towards herself, Gu Baozhu then handed the silver cup in her hand to the maid beside her, and then walked towards the other side.

On the way out of the Taiji Palace, there were occasional figures of maidservants carrying dishes, and the feeling of indulgence in wine and meat still did not fade away.

Until I left the palace completely, I looked up and took a closer look.

The bright moon was in the sky, and the walls were deep, giving it an unspeakable solemnity.

Even in the breath, there is a natural and quiet taste, which is far from the bustle and bustle of the Tai Chi Palace.

It was empty outside the hall, and there were not many people at all. Gu Baozhu thought about it, and then walked along the path in the direction Song Yan left.

Surrounded by rockery and chaotic rocks in the palace, there is a rare chill in the air at night.

Gu Baozhu held a glowing red lantern in his hand, and his steps stopped.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the flat and wide area in front of me, which looked a little empty, but it definitely couldn't hide people.

Holding the lantern and looking forward again, Gu Baozhu coughed softly and asked a tentative question.

"anyone there?"

The sweltering heat and quietness of summer amplified Gu Baozhu's voice and surrounded it in the rockery forest.

No one answered, and Gu Baozhu was not in a hurry, just stood there calmly.

Sure enough, in less than a moment, the sound of whirling in the bamboo forest resounded in the night.

Afterwards, a boy dressed as a servant soon walked out of the night.

It was Song Yan who had just left Tai Chi Palace!

It's not convenient to say more here after the two of them stand here.

Gu Baozhu asked straight to the point, "Song Yan, what do you want from me?"

The warm light from the red lantern shone on the woman's fair face, making Song Yan a little incredulous.

He did find Gu Baozhu for something.

What's more, this matter is also something that he just came up with after tossing and tossing for two nights.

But Gu Baozhu was able to understand his hints at the banquet, and actually followed him, Song Yan was still a little surprised.

After all, even though he thought tonight was a good opportunity, he didn't attend the palace banquet.

His name is Gu Baozhu, the majestic Princess Nanping will really follow him out.

The corners of Song Yan's lips curled up, suppressing the strangeness in his heart, he looked at Gu Baozhu with deep eyes, and his brows and eyes returned to normal.

However, when the words came to his mouth, Song Yan suddenly felt that there were some things he couldn't say clearly.

In the end, Song Yan gritted his teeth.He simply choked out a sentence with greetings.

"The county master—"

"My lord should...say he's sick at home, right?"

The boy's voice was slow, a little more magnetic in the cold night.

As the voice reached Gu Baozhu's ears, she raised her head in surprise, he happened to meet Shao Songyan's eyes.

Under the halo of red, it is dark but extraordinarily energetic, as if reflecting the sky full of stars, it is quite brilliant.

Gu Baozhu looked into the young man's eyes and could clearly feel Song Yan's determination.

Gu Baozhu pursed her lips, and clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves.

Facing Song Yan's penetrating eyes, Gu Baozhu knew everything that Prince Gong said in the coffin.

Afterwards, Song Yan probably knew everything.

In that corridor, "Prince Gong" said that he raised Gu Ye's daughter on behalf of others.

Not only did Gu Baozhu hear this seemingly nonsensical words, but Song Yan also probably imagined and pieced together the truth.

The original Song Yan had never mentioned this matter, but Gu Baozhu warned him, and he could still numb himself and others didn't know it all.

But now that Song Yan said this, it means that he actually knows everything.

All those things about her palace were known by Song Yan in front of her.

The "Prince Gong" who is now in Prince Gong's mansion who claims to be ill is not Gu Baozhu's father at all.

The dense lantern light made Gu Baozhu's brows and eyes a little hazy.

Song Yan pursed her lips and sighed silently in her heart.

Song Yan knew that as an outsider, he had better not know anything about this matter, and it was better not to ask anything.

However, thinking of the scene in the dream, and Gu Baozhu having to bear such a deep result alone.

He couldn't bear it, and he wanted to help her share some.

What's more, such a cruel truth just appeared in his dream, can he, Song Yan, really avoid it?

Sensing the faint wariness in Gu Baozhu's eyes, Song Yan was not surprised.

Under the leisurely moonlight, the young man sighed softly, and he could hear the helplessness in it.

"Princess, you really forgot—"

"We agreed at the beginning that Song Yan and you are grasshoppers on the same boat!"

The vigilance in Gu Baozhu's eyes was a little less, Song Yan continued to remind him.

"Back then Daxingshan Temple—"

"Under such a situation, Song Yan could pretend not to hear if he didn't want to."

"Besides, it's not my intention to know this."

"Song Yan knows by chance, and the Princess can believe that I will not tell anyone here."

"This also includes, my family—"

Song Yan's sincerity in his promise and the seriousness in his eyebrows made the hesitation in Gu Baozhu's eyes slowly dissipate.

After a while, Gu Baozhu sighed lightly, with a wry smile on his lips, and pointed to Song Yan opposite.

"Song Yan, why are you dressed like this tonight—"

Gu Baozhu's question was abrupt, and Song Yan was slightly taken aback, never expecting her thoughts to shift so quickly.

But when he realized it, he saw Gu Baozhu's lips curled into a smile, teasing him with good intentions.

Song Yan's face was slightly dark, but he nodded as if appointed.

He squinted at Gu Baozhu lightly, and finally smiled angrily.

Song Yan was able to enter the palace, but he still took off his current servant's attire.

If not, then relying on his status as a merchant, let alone the Tai Chi Palace, he might be kicked out by others before entering the palace gate.

Yuan was also Fu Sinian's father, and his uncle wanted to show him the world.

So he simply borrowed the identity of Fu Sinian's servant, and went into the palace to see the prosperity of the Taiji Palace on the Empress Long's birthday.

"Don't make fun of me, Princess—"

Song Yan's voice was full of helplessness, but his voice was steady and his face was calm.

He also didn't think it was embarrassing or unspeakable for a merchant to enter the palace without a jade dish.

"Song Yan—"

"Song Shanggong, do you want to see her tonight?"

When the word Song Shanggong came out of Gu Baozhu's mouth, Song Yan's eyelids twitched.

He raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes fell on the woman's bright lips, and what he said was unbelievable.

The breath sounded in my ears, and the usual sloppy energy returned.

"The county master—"

Humming laughter came from his throat, bringing out Weng Ming's tremor.

"no--"

"The princess doesn't know, even Song's ancestral home has been searched up and down, right?"

Under the dim lights, the shadows of the candles were faint.

Song Yan's eyebrows and eyes were shrouded in the red light of the lantern, and the handsome beauty showed a soft and ambiguous tip.

Gu Baozhu's eyelids twitched suddenly, and under the cool breeze, he inexplicably felt that his speech was dry and chapped.

After a while, Gu Baozhu raised his eyebrows and looked at Song Yan for a while, the corners of his lips were slightly raised, which was extraordinarily calm.

"Song Yan—"

"Take a step back and say that you are a grasshopper on the same rope."

"In order for us to cooperate happily in the future, even if I really investigate your family details, it shouldn't be too much."

"Moreover--"

Gu Baozhu didn't care about pulling her lips, and tried her best to show that she didn't care at all.

"Song Shanggong, when my aunt came to Huangu Academy and mentioned it, I already guessed it."

Song Yan sighed lightly, nodded without paying attention, but answered Gu Baozhu's last question seriously.
