IT MIGHT have been four years since the events in the past, Gu Yihao had never heard from the girl again. At least, ever since he humiliated her at the Flower Show.
Even Princess Lailan had always been hostile towards Nu Qingge and made her look ugly in the general public. He also gets a lot of wind news if the girl is embarrassed to appear in front of everyone due to unpleasant taunts.
He overhears one of the diners, saying Qing Mao is just a xiaosan (third party in a relationship). And he never cared about the girl from the beginning.
In the past, Gu Yihao felt that Nu Qingge was good in all aspects. The education of the prime minister's family of finance Nu is also good. As for Qing Mao she regarded as a plain little girl and did not know the rules.
Now, after not meeting for approximately four years, it seemed that Qing Mao had a lot of changes. At least have martial arts abilities and become more reasonable.
It was just that he also felt that the face was always cold and cruel. There was no gentleness and shy expression in the past. Maybe because no one else accompanied him and lived a piece of kara, making his personality change.
“King ..”
Xu Ren was older than Xu Ran.
But both are identical twin brothers. Because wearing a mask that covers part of the face, only the eyes are visible. So that resemblance is not too striking,
“Didn't the King go up to him and return the earrings?” This time Xu Ran spoke slowly. I don't know when it's been on a tree near the two.
“No. Not now ..”
Gu Yihao had a complicated expression at the moment. He simply did not expect that the person who helped him was Qing Mao. Perhaps the events of the crown prince and Nu Qingge were also related to him.
Now, he wanted to plan a lot of things. The cat's head-shaped jade earrings were stored back. He noticed Qing Mao who was busy looking for earrings. And not knowing where, two men dressed in all black appeared near the girl. Then give a bow of respect.
“Nona, it looks like the earrings fell on the palace courtyard or in King Yi's room.” Say one of the two.
“Do subordinates need to check? We have capabilities that dark guards won't detect here.” The fellow man also said, cooperating with each other.
The presence of the two was indeed not felt by Xu Ren and Xu Ran. So when they saw the two men dressed in all black appear, they were shocked.
Not to mention that the sword sheathed on his back was slightly larger and heavier than his. It must not be an ordinary dark guard.
At this moment Qing Mao thought for a moment, in the end shaking her head lightly. “No need. After all, no one would recognize the earrings. And also none of the jewelry in this Quentian Country has it.” He nodded with confidence.
The two dark guards glanced at each other and did not say anything more.
“Then how was Gu Wenlian's expression this morning? Is it fun?” ask Qing Mao.
“Yes. He was furious and asked someone to pull out all the dark guards that were around King Yi's Palace.”
Where Gu Wenlian had time to take care of Gu Yihao while himself was on the edge of the abyss. Not to mention Nu Qingge who became a laughingstock and ridicule in the capital, was extremely humiliating.
“Then what about Gu Huiling?” He asked again.
“She has started attacking silently. With the information that others had given him, it would definitely not fail. We just need to take care of things behind.”
“Go and tell some of us to protect it. Don't let the crown prince find the loophole. And divert the charges on the eldest prince.”
The two dark guards were shocked. They clearly knew the eldest prince who had now had a child. Usually will not interfere in the throne battle. But if knowing that the crown prince was playing dirty at the back, it must have been a huge upset.
After all, this eldest prince did not like someone who committed a huge fraud behind the emperor's back. Hence, it was very natural for the emperor to always defend this eldest prince.
After which, the two dark guards immediately left quickly. Qing Mao also gave up on finding her earrings and went home. Every now and then, he would notice the snowy ground around him. Who knows if the earring was missed.
Meanwhile, Gu Yihao was still in his place. Hearing all the conversations of the three people, his heart was shocked.
It turned out that the person who framed the crown prince, fed the mistress ice flower poison and messed up the engagement ceremony.
He knew Qing Mao hated the imperial palace due to the death of the entire Qing family. And the emperor was also helpless, bearing that hatred. The emperor never also ordered someone to take the death-free token.
It seemed, the emperor still considered if Qing Mao was worthy to live without punishment and threat. If the emperor himself knew that the girl was the black hand that exposed Gu Wenlian's crimes, it would definitely reward him.
Gu Yihao was still pondering. The girl probably hates him. But why help him get revenge?
Can time be replayed back to that time?
Perhaps he would choose Qing Mao as his fiancee, not Nu Qingge.
“Back to the palace," he said softly.
“Ya!” His two subordinates immediately brought Gu Yihao back to the palace.
In the main hall, Doctor Piao was already waiting anxiously. When the person he was waiting for came, the huge stone in his heart could be lifted.
This morning Gu Yihao had to do some medicinal treatment and baths. And the elixir should be drunk after eating. But he disappeared in the morning and the waiter only said that Gu Yihao just wanted to take a walk. How does he believe in ghosts?
The cold weather made Doctor Piao wear thicker clothes. Even Gu Yihao himself used a soft hairy scarf so as to keep warm.
They went back to the bathroom when the medicine bath was about to start. The two subordinates immediately helped Gu Yihao remove the clothes. As usual, the man should soak for no more than an hour.
As he bathed in medicine, Doctor Piao explained the elixir content that the mysterious figure had given him last night. There are many rare flowers that are used as elixirs, including water used for distillation.
Not to mention there are special substances that make the elixir work faster. It was just that Doctor Piao did not know all the ingredients used.
He can't make it either. And so eager to find the drug maker. After taking a medicinal bath, Gu Yihao had breakfast first before finally taking the elixir.
The report from Doctor Piao was enough to make him think far about Qing Mao. He went to the study room and pondered everything.
There was a secret room behind the bookshelf attached to the wall. The moment he opened it, what was inside was already dusty and slightly worn out.
But he was not at all worried about the amount of dust. This room is not often he comes to and is only used to store items that are not important. But even though it wasn't important, those items still had value to his heart.
There was a wooden city lying on the other side of the room. The size is not big, but it is also not small. He took the city and blew away the dust that was on it.
Very dirty. He coughed lightly after accidentally inhaling the dust. This box did not have a key so he could easily open it.
A handkerchief and some love letters were stored there. There are also jade waist hangers, paper and milled ink. Everything was stored away and he had never touched it again.
In the past, Qing Mao had always come and given him many things as a liking. Ranging from handkerchiefs to ready-to-use milled inks. Now, the ink is dry and may not be worth reusing. But he still took it.
As with any other girl, Qing Mao had also always said that she liked him. And the Qing family supported him as well.
Not only that, the emperor himself did not make that a problem. Not to mention there was a supportive empress. It was just that time that Qing Mao was a child. And perhaps his joy was only limited to admiring Gu Yihao.
However when she was eleven, she got Gu Yihao to be engaged to Nu Qingge.
At that moment Qing Mao was angry and jealous.
Why didn't Gu Yihao choose her?
Only after the Qing family extermination incident except for Qing Mao did the man take the engagement to the son of the finance prime minister Nu. As well as having the excuse of her not having any support for the palace.
Disgraced and humiliated, the girl was disappointed. Then run away until you never look back again.
