Alluring City

Gu Xiaowu didn't reach out to pick up the jade pendant for a long time, and Dugu Chen didn't take it back either.

The two of them were in such a stalemate, Dugu Xun didn't feel embarrassed at all, but Gu Xiaowu always felt uncomfortable.

Not knowing what to think, Gu Xiaowu suddenly reached out and took the jade pendant.

An imperceptible smile flashed across Dugu Chen's eyes, and he finally withdrew his hand.

"Since you are so persistent, then I will accept it unceremoniously." Gu Xiaowu put away the jade pendant, with a reluctant expression on his face.

I really don't know what people in this era think, what can a broken jade pendant represent?She really didn't see the value of this jade except that it looked better and was more valuable, but those people still looked like 'whoever owns this jade is the Tianchen Crown Princess'.

"You have to keep it well, don't let it fall into other people's hands." Dugu Chen instructed lightly.

Although he didn't think this piece of jade was very important, in the eyes of those people, the piece of jade engraved with his name was indeed very important.

After what happened today, it's hard to guarantee that Feng Xiyu won't have other thoughts.

Gu Xiaowu rolled his eyes, who would dare to snatch what is in her hand?Whoever snatches her will be destroyed.

"Don't worry! I will take good care of this piece of jade before leaving the Nanban Palace."

The smile in Duguchen's eyes suddenly disappeared without a trace, he looked at Gu Xiaowu, and said seriously: "You don't have to return it to me, just keep it!"

This is what I wanted to say when I was in the station, and now I just say what I wanted to say before.

"Isn't this bad?" Sure enough, it was a hot potato, is it okay for her to regret it now?

"Anyway, they are all meant to be given away, isn't it the same for everyone?" Dugu Chen really did it on purpose when he said this.

After speaking, he looked at Gu Xiaowu very carefully, not wanting to miss any expression on her face.

"Is it the same for everyone...?" Gu Xiaowu whispered softly, the disappointment in her eyes flashed away, and she didn't even notice it.

"Of course, but the premise is that the person is someone I care about." Dugu Chen naturally heard Gu Xiaowu's whisper, and he caught even the fleeting disappointment in her eyes.

How could such an important thing be given away casually?

Gu Xiaowu's face turned red suddenly, how could this person speak such ambiguous words so naturally?

Judging by his expression, he seemed to be saying 'what are we having for dinner'.

Hey, if this continues, she will misunderstand!

Duguchen looked at Gu Xiaowu with great interest, it was the first time he saw her blushing, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise slightly after being together for so long.

As a matter of course, the four of them had dinner together at Duguxun's residence.

Gu Xiaowu went back with Dugu Chen. After all, no one knows if there is Feng Xiyu's eyeliner in this palace. If people know that she is supposed to be the 'Crown Princess', she sleeps in the palace of the Third Prince If so, they are really speechless.

"During this period of time, you should live here. There are already maids who have tidied up this wing. If necessary, you can order those maids at any time."

The room that Duguchen arranged for Gu Xiaowu was the nearest to him, because he was worried that something would happen to Feng Xiyu, so he could only put her in front of his eyes.

Moreover, even without Feng Xiyu, he still hoped that she would be closer to him.

"I see, thank you." Gu Xiaowu lowered his head, finished speaking in a hurry, then quickly slipped in and closed the door.

Dugu Chen was a little astonished, but then he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Shaking his head, Dugu Chen walked away.

Gu Xiaowu was leaning behind the door, covering his heart with his left hand, his face was still slightly red.

"What the hell am I blushing about? Isn't it just some ambiguous words? As for?" Gu Xiaowu rolled his eyes, bolted the door, and walked towards the bed shaking his head.

Don't think about it anymore, go to bed quickly, and forget everything when you wake up.

But... Dugu Chen is definitely a master of sex, she's sure of it!

"Third brother, although I don't know why you gave Xiao Wu such an important jade pendant, your piece of jade is more important than the one held by the prince's brother. However, if you don't act, Xiao Wu will It will belong to the prince's brother." Duguyi left this sentence and hurried out.

If he stayed, he might be beaten up by the third brother.

Dugu Xun sat on the wooden chair without moving, he sighed softly, why...

Will give it to her, it has nothing to do with feelings, but it is written in her eyes that she really wants this jade pendant.

He treats her only as a friend and a brother. All along, he has almost ignored the fact that she is actually a woman.

He doesn't mind that Xiao Wu becomes the emperor's concubine, he just worries that Xiao Wu will go further and further away from him and Eleven in the future, and that kind of thing is the last thing he wants to see.

After a night without dreams, Gu Xiaowu woke up very early.

After washing up slowly, she went to the kitchen to bring two plates of freshly cooked snacks, then jumped up to the roof, sat on the roof, and ate snacks leisurely, blowing the cool breeze.

Looking from her height, one could just see the palace people busy coming and going.

Stuffing another piece of snack into his mouth, Gu Xiaowu turned his head unconsciously, but suddenly saw a figure that she had dreamed about countless times.

Without having time to pay attention to the plate in his arms, Gu Xiaowu got up abruptly, jumped off the roof lightly, and quickly ran towards the direction where the person appeared just now.

She was still flying around in the palace, she wasn't that ostentatious, she didn't want to be shot at by the guards patrolling nearby.

When she ran to that place, the man had disappeared.

There were no maids nearby, so she had no choice but to ask someone.

This is a fork in the road.

Gu Xiaowu thought for a while, gritted his teeth and chose the left path.

Judging from the map Ah Zhi gave her, on the left is the palace where the eldest princess lives, and the eldest princess looks so similar to her mother.

If that person was really in the palace, he should have come to look for the eldest princess.

At this moment, she no longer has the leisure to think about how the man entered the palace and what he did for the palace, she just wanted to catch up with him quickly.

Sure enough, the road was right, and after walking for a while, Gu Xiaowu saw the figure of that person from a distance.

The man stopped not far away, but did not turn around, just stood there quietly.

Gu Xiaowu stopped a few steps away from that person, looked at him, feeling a little nervous in his heart.

The person in front of him wore a half mask, only showing a small half of his cheek and clean chin.

But just this small half of the cheek that was exposed already made people's heart beat endlessly.

Gu Xiaowu stood opposite him, looking at him without blinking.

Standing with him, Gu Xiaowu couldn't even reach his shoulders.

The two just looked at each other, neither of them spoke first.

There were more and more palace people coming and going, Gu Xiaowu didn't plan to spend any more time with him.

"Is your name Gu Xizhi?" Gu Xiaowu gritted his teeth and coldly asked this question that had been rehearsed countless times in her mind.

The masked man looked at Gu Xiaowu in surprise, but the surprise in his eyes quickly disappeared.

"It's true that my name is Xizhi, but my surname is not Gu." The masked man said in a flat voice.

That surname brought him nothing but endless remorse. If he had been more cheerful that day, perhaps the ending would not have been what it is today.

Not ignoring the fleeting surprise in the eyes of the person in front of him, Gu Xiaowu always felt that he seemed to be hiding something, but he couldn't know what he was hiding for a while.

"Gu Qingcheng, do you know him?" Gu Xiaowu looked straight at the man in front of him, no matter if he was a man or not, she had to ask some questions today.

The man's body froze, the colors in his eyes were a bit complicated, he was silent for a while, and he guessed: "I don't know."

He had only heard of the child's name and had never met the child, so it could not be counted as acquaintance.

Gu Xiaowu suddenly felt a little sad, and instinctively told her that the man in front of her should be the person she was looking for, but his answer made her feel chilled.

Is he really not Gu Xizhi, or is he pretending?

Gu Xiaowu lowered his head, hiding the faint disappointment in his eyes.

"The top of Yinshan Mountain, facing south, is where my mother's tomb is." After Gu Xiaowu said this calmly, he left with a flick of his sleeves.

Regardless of whether the people behind her knew what she was talking about, she left. Only she knew that she was actually running away.

She, Gu Xiaowu, was just an ordinary person, and she would actually feel uneasy when facing someone she had hoped for.

No matter whether the person in front of her is Gu Xizhi or not, she already regards him as Gu Xizhi.

It's good to have one wish, in the future, she will never think about it again.

She is just Gu Xiaowu, and in this world, besides Ah Zhi, she has no relatives.

The masked man stared blankly at the girl's back as she resolutely left, eyes full of guilt.

He was definitely the first person in the world who saw his daughter but didn't know him. No wonder that child resolutely walked away.

Obviously, he has decided not to recognize her in this life, but why does he feel sad when he sees her walking away like this?

I obviously don't want to think about it any more, but why is the image of the child's leaving back still lingering in my mind?

Before he had time to think, his body made a decision first.

Without any hesitation, he chose to catch up.

"Wait." Finally catching up to the girl, he finally called out to her.

Gu Xiaowu's body froze, he stopped as he said, but he didn't turn around.

She just turned her back to him and didn't speak.

"Can I... can I call you Qingcheng?" He said a little at a loss.

Gu Xiaowu raised his head and sighed softly, the ruthlessness in his eyes flashed away.

"No." There was no hesitation in his tone.

If she was not sure whether this person was Gu Xizhi before, then she is 100% sure now.
