Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 247
After Xiao Yichen came out from Prince Qi's Mansion, he went straight to Prince Ling's Mansion. Unexpectedly, when he arrived, he was told that Gu Lingqing had gone out just now. He asked the housekeeper and they didn't know where he went.

There was no other way, so Xiao Yichen asked the housekeeper to find paper and ink, left a letter for him, and told him to deliver the letter to him as soon as Gu Lingqing came back.

After doing all this, Xiao Yichen came to Beisi.

The setting sun was about to set, and when Xiao Yichen arrived, the adults in Beisi were also getting ready to rest.

When Qing Si and Bai Si saw Xiao Yichen coming, their expressions of laughing and joking disappeared: "Why did Young Master Xiao come at this hour? Could it be that without our help, they obtained important clues instead?"

Faced with the irony in the two people's words, Xiao Yichen didn't take it seriously: "The two adults guessed right, Xiao has indeed obtained an important clue."

"Oh? Really?" Qing Si and Bai Si looked nonchalant, "Let's wait until tomorrow for any important clues. We are going to have dinner. Do you want to go together, Mr. Xiao?"

"I'm afraid this case involves His Royal Highness King Qi." Time was running out, Xiao Yichen didn't have the heart to joke with the two of them, so he directly stated the key point.

Xiao Yichen's words were not astonishing, and sure enough, as soon as these words came out, Qing Si and Bai Si immediately put away their foolish looks, and their expressions became serious.
"Is this really true? It's not easy to talk nonsense. It's a serious crime to bite the emperor's relatives at will!"

"I, Xiao, have never made such a joke with anyone."

Seeing that Xiao Yichen didn't look like he was joking, Qingsi lowered his expression.

"Xiao Mou came to see the two adults at this hour because he had something to help you two. If the case is solved, I, Xiao Mou, will give the main credit to the two of you. I don't know what the two of you think. Are you unwilling to help Xiao Mou with this favor?"

It stands to reason that Xiao Yichen has the emperor's order to handle this matter, so he can order the two to assist him, but if the two are unwilling, there is really no way to do this matter, that's why Xiao Yichen is like this tell them.

Qing Si and Bai Si looked at each other, what they cared about was not the reward for what Xiao Yichen promised to say to him.

In the final analysis, the two belong to the prince, and the prince and King Qi are usually tit-for-tat. If this was really done by King Qi and he solved the case by himself, the two must have made great contributions in front of His Highness the Prince.

"Okay, Mr. Xiao is also a straightforward person, and my two brothers will definitely help each other."

The sky was already dark, and the moon was also hanging in the night sky. Since it was a full moon night, and against the backdrop of white snow, it reflected the surrounding scene very clearly.

Xiao Yichen and Qingsi Baisi were respectively on the roof near the back door of Prince Qi's Mansion, all three of them were staring at the back door of Prince Qi's Mansion, not daring to relax for a moment.

After Gu Qi helped Zhao Min apply the medicine, he didn't do anything else, but let her sit aside and watch him correct some papers.

Zhao Min just looked at him like this, about two hours later, it was already dark outside, he was still sitting at the desk correcting his notebook, Zhao Min finally couldn't help but speak out.

"Gu Qi, what exactly do you want?"

After hearing Zhao Min's words, Gu Qi paused the hand holding the writing brush, then put it on the table, looked at her, and said in a very gentle tone, "Min'er, what do you mean? I don't understand."

"Zhao Min looked at Gu Qi's attitude as if nothing happened, and suddenly hit a certain point in her emotions, and saw her standing up from the chair with a "thump", shouting very excitedly.

"We're friends, aren't we? I don't know how many days it's been since you locked me up in this place. I treat you as a friend, but I didn't expect you to treat me like this!"

"Friend?" There was some irony in Gu Qi's eyes, he stood up from the chair, walked slowly in front of Zhao Min, and looked down at her: "Since when are we friends?"

There was a smile on the corner of Gu Qi's mouth, but his eyes were extremely sharp, and what he said made Zhao Min terrified. The state he showed at this moment was a bit ferocious, which made Zhao Min frown even more.

"Gu Qi, you have changed, you were not like this before."

"I've changed?" Gu Qi turned around, laughed three times as if he had heard a big joke, then turned around again and suppressed his smile, "It's not me who changed, but you!"

"I treat Gu Lingqing as my dearest brother, but what about him? Obviously I met you first, but he secretly attacked you!"

Zhao Min felt that what Gu Qi said was unreasonable: "There is no first-come-first-come-first-served relationship. Besides, I did know Gu Lingqing earlier than you."

"Stop talking for him!" Gu Qi's eyes were red and his body was trembling because of his agitation. He looked terrified.

"I have never fallen in love with any woman since I was a child. You are the only one... only you! Even if he wants to grab this, is he doing the right thing? Does he treat me as a younger brother? He also cut off the robe Judgment! How ridiculous!"

Zhao Min felt that Gu Qi had fallen into a state of madness, and he couldn't listen to what he said to him, so he simply stopped talking and turned his head to the side to express his attitude.

Zhao Min's silence successfully calmed Gu Qi down. After taking a deep breath, he walked aside and lit the aromatherapy in the room.

Then he squatted in front of Zhao Min and looked at her affectionately: "Don't worry, Min'er, I know you must be dissatisfied with the living environment these few days, I will take you to a good place."

Just when Zhao Min wanted to ask where he was taking him, he smelled a fragrance, and then he felt that his vision became more and more blurred, and he gradually lost consciousness.

Gu Qi looked at Zhao Min who had fainted, and lowered his expression, walked to the door and opened it.

"Cunran, how are things going?"

Cunran, who had been waiting outside the door, nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, everything is ready, the carriage is parked in the backyard."

As soon as Zheng Yihui entered the courtyard, she saw Gu Qi and Cunran standing on the porch. The master and servant didn't know what they were talking about.

Sensing that someone was coming, Gu Qi flirted with Cunran, and Cunran retreated.

Seeing Cunran leaving from the corridor, Zheng Yihui frowned, quickened her pace, walked to the corridor, and saluted Gu Qi.

"Your Highness, it's cold, how can you stand on the porch? My concubine will accompany you into the room to warm up for a while!"

After finishing speaking, Zheng Yihui straightened up, stepped forward, and was about to walk into the study.

Gu Qi was one step ahead of her and blocked the door: "Tonight, the king has important matters to deal with, so come back soon, princess, don't bother me."

The woman's intuition made Zheng Yihui feel that there must be someone else in the study, maybe even a woman!
But seeing Gu Qi standing at the door uttering such a straightforward order to chase away guests, Zheng Yihui could only take a look inside reluctantly, and after seeing nothing, she saluted unwillingly, turned and left .
