Alluring City

Concubine Yun's eyes quickly flashed a trace of panic, the person she loves is Xi Zhi, always has been.The only reason why she married the emperor was because she wanted to help her brother, and another reason was that she needed a backer.

Xizhi is a very family-oriented person. If she wants to drive Lin Xi away from Xizhi's side, she has to start with Xizhi's family members, so she needs an identity that can make Gu's family obedient. The emperor happened to be able to give her what she wanted, so she agreed to enter the palace and become his concubine.

Such a sacrifice seemed a little too big, but she separated Xi Zhi and Lin Xi as she wished.

"I don't love you." Concubine Yun Gui's soft voice sounded in the room, but there was a trace of hesitation and uncertainty in her tone.

Xun'er has been very smart since he was a child. For a person like him, sometimes half-truths and half-false words are easier for him to believe.

It is undeniable that she once had a fondness for the emperor in a ignorant manner, but before that shred of affection turned into love, the emperor cut off that shred of affection with his own hands.

After Xizhi married Lin Xi, let alone a concubine, she never even had a concubine.But the emperor, after pampering her alone for a period of time, still went to other concubines' rooms.

She is obviously no worse than Lin Xi, but why is Lin Xi so lucky?Not to mention being able to marry the one she loves, she doesn't even need to share her husband with other women, but she has to be trapped in this cage and compete with a group of women for jealousy.

God was really unfair to her.

Duguxun looked at Concubine Yun in surprise, her expression seemed to be a little hesitant, but Duguxun didn't know if she was pretending or really hesitating.

"If there's nothing else, I'll go back first." Dugu Xun got up and said goodbye. It's been so long since he came out, and that girl Xiaowu might have gotten impatient for waiting.

"Xun'er." Concubine Yun Gui suddenly stopped Dugu Xun, "Do you really... have to marry Gu Qingcheng?"

Although Dugu Xun stopped, he didn't look back, "I don't want to marry unless she is the only one." His tone was extremely firm.

Concubine Yun Gui gritted her teeth, but still did not give up, "She is also your cousin, you are blood relatives, even so, do you still have to marry her?"

In Tianchen, people are very taboo about intermarriage by blood relatives. Unless they are distant relatives, basically no one will marry a woman from within the three clans.

"Even if she is my own sister, my answer will never change."

Leaving behind such a sentence that stunned Concubine Yun, Duguxun walked out quickly.

What about my cousin?As long as he believes in it, he will never give up easily.

When Duguxun returned to the main hall, the banquet had already come to an end. Seeing that Duguxun finally came back, Gu Xiaowu didn't care so much, got up and dragged him out.

The emperor and empress had already left early, only a few concubines were left to gossip, Gu Xiaowu was indeed as impatient as Dugu Xun guessed.

Dugu Xun took Gu Xiaowu's soft and boneless little hand behind his back and walked slowly towards the palace gate. Carriages are not allowed in the palace, although soft sedan chairs are allowed, but he doesn't want to sit now.

It's actually a beautiful thing to be able to lead Xiao Wu to go on like this, isn't it?

It was late at night, the temperature became cold, and the howling cold wind blew on the body like a knife.But on such a night, horses were still galloping on the streets of Jiangning City.

"Woo..." The carriage almost collided with the oncoming horse. Fortunately, the driver and the man on the horse were both skilled in horsemanship, so this disaster was avoided.

The car body bumped a few times, and Gu Xiaowu, who was already sound asleep, was awakened by this sudden change.

"Jiannan, what's the matter?" Dugu Xun's voice came from the carriage, clean, cold, but so sweet.

"Grandpa, it's..."

Before Jiannan finished speaking, the man in green on the horse on the opposite side asked aloud, "Is the third prince Duguxun in the carriage?"

Hearing the other party's voice seemed familiar, Dugu Xun reached out and lifted the curtain of the carriage.

"Uncle Gu, why are you here?" The person who came was Gu Xizhi who was mentioned by Concubine Yun not long ago.

"Is it really Dugu?" Gu Xizhi's question just now seemed to be a question with a mentality of trying. He was a little surprised to see Dugu find it.

"Well, Xiao Wu and I are preparing to go back to the palace. Uncle, please come with us. Let's talk about anything when we go back." This is really not a good place to talk.

It's not hard to see that Gu Xizhi should have rushed back overnight, and it must be something urgent that made him work so hard, who has always been a bit lazy.

"That's fine." Gu Xizhi turned the horse's head and slowed down to follow behind the carriage.

Duguxun sat back down again, and when he came in, he brought a gust of cold wind, Gu Xiaowu seemed a little unbearable, shrank into Duguxun's arms.He pinched Gu Xiaowu's face, and asked with a light smile, "You should have heard uncle's voice just now, right? Why didn't you come out?"

"I don't know, I just don't want to go out." Mother didn't blame him for what happened back then, and she knew it well. As for herself, since mother didn't blame him, she naturally felt it didn't matter.

The reason why she didn't want to go out was really because she didn't want to move.

It was too cold outside, and she was extremely afraid of the cold.Anyway, we are all here, and we can see the palace later, so we are not in a hurry.

Anyway, he didn't ask himself, did he?

The imperial palace is not too far from the Three Princes' Mansion, and it takes about two quarters of an hour to reach it on horseback.

Seeing Gu Xiaowu get out of the carriage intact, Gu Xizhi was visibly relieved.

"Jiannan, you go down first." After Dugu Xun led Gu Xiaowu and Gu Xizhi to the study room, he ordered Jiannan to retreat first.

Without the slightest hesitation, Jiannan quietly backed out.

"Long time no see." Seeing Gu Xizhi's hesitant appearance, Gu Xiaowu greeted him generously.

"Cheng'er." Gu Xizhi called Gu Xiaowu's name, unexpectedly strode up to Gu Xiaowu, and hugged her into his arms.

Gu Xiaowu really never dreamed that Gu Xizhi would do this suddenly, he let Gu Xizhi hold him stiffly.

Dugu Xun obviously did not expect Gu Xizhi to make such an astonishing move suddenly, although he reacted quickly, but because he is Gu Xiaowu's biological father, even if he was very fond of it, he could only let it go.

"It's great that you're fine." Gu Xizhi murmured in Gu Xiaowu's ear.

He came back in such a hurry because he was afraid that something would happen to her. After all, he knew how much that person hated Xi'er.Now that Xi'er is gone, she will definitely transfer her hatred for Xi'er to Cheng'er.
