Chapter 117: Eavesdropping

It was a young man's voice, low and pleasant: "...... Cousin, you can't be so depressed all the time. If you are like this, not only will my aunt and uncle look anxious, but I also feel that it is not worth it for you......"

Ye Qingning's expression moved slightly, obviously hearing who the owner of this voice was.

Ye Qinglan was naturally confused, and glanced at Gu Xiyu. Gu Xiyu was also at a loss.

"A good man has ambitions in all directions, and he can't be worried because he has been languishing just because of a woman." The man spoke eloquently, and his words were extremely incendiary: "As long as you nod your head now, I will immediately go to my father and the emperor to find a good official position for you......"

Father? Ye Qinglan was startled, and instantly guessed the identity of the young man on the other side of the rockery.

The third prince Zhao Zhang!

Listening to his voice, could it be that the other man who has been silent is Gu Xinian?

Sure enough, I heard a familiar faint voice sound: "Your Royal Highness the Third Prince, don't say it again." I am lazy by nature, and I am not interested in the affairs of the court at all. ”

When Gu Xiyu heard this familiar voice, her pretty face suddenly lit up, and she was about to open her mouth to call her eldest brother, when she saw Ye Qinglan quickly glance at her and shook her head.

Although Gu Xiyu looked puzzled, she obediently closed her mouth. Ye Qingning quickly understood Ye Qinglan's intentions, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The third prince and Gu Xinian specially chose such a secluded place to speak, obviously not wanting others to hear. The three of them should have avoided it, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to overhear such a loud horn!

Ye Qinglan blinked. We didn't mean to eavesdrop, didn't we just happen to meet it! Don't you want to hear what the two of them are saying?

Of course I want to...

Everyone has curiosity. Ye Qingning was naturally no exception, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded. The three girls pricked up their ears in unison.

Ye Qinglan has the best ear power, although she is separated by a rockery, she still catches the conversation between the two in her ears.

The third prince kept whispering to persuade Gu Xinian to enter the court as an official, although his words were very subtle and obscure. But there is always a faint hint of meaning. Gu Xinian was unmoved, neither annoying the three princes head-on, but the intention of refusing was very obvious.

The third prince persuaded him for a long time, and when he saw that he was still indifferent to the eight winds, he was naturally angry in his heart. But he didn't show it at all, and said in a low voice: "Cousin, the incident four years ago, in fact, I have always been upset for you. The royal brother and you are like brothers and sisters, and you really shouldn't take away your love. Makes you a joke in the eyes of others. No wonder you've been decadent to this day. ”

Gu Xinian was silent for a moment, and said leisurely: "What does Your Highness think I should do?" ”

The eyes of the third prince flashed with light. But his voice became deeper and deeper: "If I were you, I would never be able to swallow this breath." Life in the world, self-indulgence is happy. People have been snatched away, and then they are snatched back......"

The last sentence is very low, and I can only listen to it faintly.

Ye Qingning's face changed when he heard this, and he couldn't help but take a step back. But he happened to step on a few fallen leaves, making a sound of stinging.

"Who?" The vigilant voices of the Third Prince and Gu Xinian sounded at the same time.

Ye Qingning had already panicked. Where to know how to respond. Gu Xiyu was even more not good at adapting, and looked at Ye Qinglan at a loss.

It's too late to dodge at this point!

Ye Qinglan was in a hurry, deliberately raised her voice, and said with a smile: "Sixth sister, cousin Xiyu, look at this rockery." It's really chic. As he spoke, he tugged Ye Qingning's sleeve.

Ye Qingning reluctantly came back to his senses and echoed: "Yes, this pool is also very beautiful!" ”

Just two sentences of effort. Two tall men had already circled from behind the rockery.

Although he had already heard who was coming from the words, Gu Xinian was still stunned after seeing the three girls with his own eyes. He immediately furrowed his brows and asked in a deep voice, "Why did you three get here?" ”

His face was ugly, and his tone was even more cold.

Ye Qingning had never seen Gu Xinian's angry look. Unconsciously lowered his head. Not to mention Gu Xiyu, she had already stood honestly like a child in trouble.

Ye Qinglan had no choice but to fight alone. He said with a smile: "Just now my aunt told us to go around the garden, so we walked over casually. I really didn't expect to meet Cousin Gu and His Royal Highness the Third Prince here. Please forgive me for any offense! Cleverly avoided the small detail of overhearing the two of them talking.

Gu Xinian's face was deep and noncommittal, and his sharp gaze swirled on Ye Qinglan's face, making people secretly furious in their hearts.

The third prince was easy-going, and said with a faint smile: "My cousin and I were just chatting casually here, but I didn't expect you to come over." So I was taken aback. Where to talk about what offense. ”

Ye Qinglan had to continue to accompany the smiling face, and sighed in her heart. I wanted to eavesdrop on a few words of conversation and take the opportunity to find out Gu Xinian's secret. I didn't expect to be arrested before I could hear the point.

Gu Xinian glanced at Ye Qinglan, then walked to Gu Xiyu's side and asked in a low voice, "Yu'er, when did you come over?" "Ye Qinglan's girl is slippery and doesn't have a word of truth, Gu Xiyu is much more honest. You can never lie and deceive yourself!

Gu Xiyu's face really flashed a trace of uneasiness, and she secretly looked at Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan quietly glanced at her. Don't tell the truth, if Gu Xinian knew that they were eavesdropping, he would definitely be furious. When the time comes, they won't be able to eat and walk around......

Gu Xiyu has been getting along with her day and night recently, and she has a very tacit understanding, and she actually understood Ye Qinglan's meaning, and replied seriously: "We didn't eavesdrop on you. Really, we didn't hear a word of what you just said. ”

……

Gu Xinian stared at Ye Qinglan with a smile: "Oh? Are you sure? ”

Ye Qinglan rarely felt that her ears were a little hot. But he could only hold on with a cheeky face: "Cousin Xiyu is right, we came from over there, and we didn't know that you were on the rockery." After a pause, he pretended to be innocent and asked, "By the way, are Cousin Gu and His Royal Highness the Third Prince discussing something important?" ”

Gu Xinian looked coldly at Ye Qinglan pretending to be, and resisted the urge to expose her. Hmph, this girl lied without blinking, and she brought the honest Gu Xiyu to ruin.

The third prince coughed and said with a smile: "Okay, it's just a little thing, not worth mentioning." It's better to meet by chance, since you're going to visit the garden, it's better to be together! ”

No one had the courage to refuse the invitation of the dignified prince, so they had to accept it head-on.

The third prince and Gu Xinian were very personable, walking side by side in front. I consciously kept a distance from Ye Qinglan and others.

Ye Qingning's heart was pounding, and he quietly glanced at Ye Qinglan. What now?

Ye Qinglan shrugged her shoulders slightly and made a helpless expression. It's come to this point, so I have to take one step at a time. Let's keep up first!

If the two of them were determined to expose the fact that they were eavesdropping, they would have been unceremoniously questioned just now. Now that they are pretending to be fine, it means that the two of them don't want to make a big deal about it, and they don't want others to know the fact that the two have spoken in private. Therefore, as long as they insist that they don't eavesdrop, it is expected that the two adult men will not take a few of them weak girls!

Facts have proved that Ye Qinglan is too accurate in figuring out people's minds. The third prince accompanied him for a while, and then left under the pretext of having left beforehand.

As soon as the third prince left, Gu Xinian's face sank, his eyes flashed with anger, and his voice was cold: "You three are so bold. How dare you eavesdrop on us! The handsome face was gloomy, and the eyes flashed with a cold light, which made people can't help but be afraid.

Ye Qingning only knew that Gu Xinian was approachable and easy-going, and he had never seen his cold side, so he was suddenly frightened and didn't dare to say a word.

Gu Xiyu didn't get much better, biting her lip aggrievedly, tears rolling in her eyes.

Ye Qinglan's heart also jumped, and she quickly calmed down: "Cousin Gu really misunderstood us, we really didn't hear anything just now......

"Yu'er, come on." Gu Xinian didn't even look at Ye Qinglan, and coldly asked the most honest Gu Xiyu: "How much have you heard?" ”

Gu Xiyu reflexively wanted to look at Ye Qinglan, but Gu Xinian's voice sounded in her ears again: "Don't look at others, look up at me, and answer my questions honestly." ”

Gu Xiyu has always been pampered and loved by Gu Xinian, she has never been treated so coldly, she is very aggrieved in her heart, tears are rolling in her eyes, and they will fall at any time. I can't say a word.

When Gu Xinian saw her like this, he was distressed and helpless, but his anger surged more and more into his heart. looked at Ye Qingning coldly: "Cousin Qingning, you sued me, what did you overhear just now?" ”

Ye Qingning knew very well in his heart that he must not admit it at this time, but Gu Xinian's condensed appearance was really terrifying, his lips trembled, and he was about to blurt out the truth.

"It's none of their business!" Ye Qinglan took a step forward and stood face to face with Gu Xinian. bravely looked directly at Gu Xinian's black eyes full of anger: "If Cousin Gu has any dissatisfaction, just come at me!" ”

Gu Xinian didn't laugh angrily, but there was a cold light in his eyes, and he said slowly: "I'm finally willing to tell the truth." Okay, so I'll ask you, when did you guys come here and what did you hear? Tell me the truth, there must be no half-word falsehood! ”

At this time, Gu Xinian faded away from his usual gentle appearance and disguise, and his whole person was like a sharp sword out of the sheath, his eyes were cold, just one look made people's hearts cold.

Ye Qingning and Gu Xiyu dared to look at him, their heads were almost lowered to their chests.

Ye Qinglan straightened her waist and replied lightly: "Less than a stick of incense when I came, I heard His Royal Highness the Third Prince persuade Cousin Gu to enter the court to become an official. Also, he hinted that you should snatch Shen Qiuyu back......"-
