The smile on Ji Xu's face gradually dissipated, and he returned to his former coldness.

"What a big breath! Do you know that if what you just said is heard by others, it is a great crime to kill your head? His voice was cold and unwavering, but it was full of bitter chill.

Gu Qingwan looked at him calmly, not intimidated by the coercion on his body.

"Does the prince know that among so many princes, why does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince want to put the prince to death? It stands to reason that the only ones who can pose a threat to the crown prince are the eldest prince and the fifth prince, but the crown prince is pointing all the fingers at you, don't you think it's strange? ”

As if he had poked Ji Xu's sore spot, I saw that his pupils contracted, and there were countless complex emotions intertwined in his calm and waveless eyes in both directions, and Gu Qingwan saw deep disgust, hatred, and ...... in it Lose......

While observing his emotions, Gu Qingwan continued to analyze: "The prince only targets you, there is only one reason...... That is your presence that poses a great threat to him. For the crown prince, his greatest threat is that someone may take the throne that rightfully belongs to him. ”

During this time, Gu Qingwan combined the memories of her previous life and reviewed the events that had happened since her rebirth, and only then did she guess these.

In his previous life, the fate of this King of Yujiang was the worst, which shows how much the prince hates him.

The only threat he can pose to the crown prince is the throne, so if nothing happens at the beginning, it is very likely that King Yujiang will ascend the throne.

Ji Xu listened to her in silence, raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, "Gu Qingwan, you said so much just to want this king to keep your father and the Gu family." But you have to be clear about one thing, what position I am taking to speak for the Gu family, and what position should the Gu family take to stand on my side. ”

"What does Your Highness mean?"

"Marriage." Ji Xu said these two words lightly.

Gu Qingwan looked at him in surprise, "Is it possible that Your Highness wants to marry my second sister?" ”

Although she wanted to get the protection of King Yujiang, she didn't want Gu Qingyue to be the princess of Yujiang, so wouldn't the second room have something to rely on, but it would be difficult to deal with.

"Who said I was going to marry her!" There was a hint of disgust on Ji Xu's face.

"Uh......" Gu Qingwan didn't expect Ji Xu to dislike Gu Qingyue so much, after all, Gu Qingyue was beautiful, pitiful, and lovable. In the previous life, Gu Qingyue was fascinated by Ji Han and Ji Cheng, one did not hesitate to divorce her, and the other did not hesitate to give up his wife to marry her, how did he come to him like a flood beast.

"I already have a marriage contract, if you want to get married, you can only marry Gu Qingyue."

"Didn't you say that you would divorce Ah Han?" He suddenly said something, which caught Gu Qingwan off guard.

"Did I say that?"

"On that day in the hospital, the marriage contract you said in person would be dissolved sooner or later."

Gu Qingwan thought about it carefully, she seemed to have said it, but she never thought that he would remember it until now.

"You don't like Ah Han, Ah Han doesn't like you, it's okay if this marriage contract is dissolved." His eyes as he looked at her began to become hot, and his voice unconsciously became gentle, "Wan'er, as long as you are willing, I can help you cancel this marriage and marry you as my princess." ”

Gu Qingwan lowered her head, panickedly avoiding his affectionate gaze, never thinking that one day she would see Ji Xu have such a gentle and affectionate side. The impression of him is always light, there is never too much expression on his face, and I have never seen such a gentle side of him.

"I'm afraid I'm going to live up to the prince's kindness, I already have someone I like." She politely rejected him, she didn't expect that this light-hearted, unsmiling prince would suddenly confess to her.

"Is that the general who accompanied you to the infirmary last time?"

Gu Qingwan nodded in acquiescence.

Ji Xu smiled bitterly: "Where am I?" ”

"The prince is very good, he is a rare wishful man in this world, and he is a person who can be entrusted for life, and you are no worse than anyone else. But I was a childhood sweetheart with him and grew up together. I have only known the prince for a short year, but I have known him for ten years. He grew up with me, tolerated my willfulness, and he was the man I trusted the most and wanted to spend my life with. ”

Ji Xu didn't speak, just looked at her silently, his eyes were complicated, full of loss, self-deprecation and a trace of unwillingness. For some reason, looking at his eyes, Gu Qingwan actually felt a trace of heartache and unbearable.

Ji Xu is a very good person, and she doesn't want to hurt him. She would rather cooperate with him than to be his princess.

He helped her keep the Gu family, and she was willing to use what she had learned all her life to help him ascend to the throne.

If she could, she didn't want to repeat the same mistakes in this life. She doesn't want to have no relatives and lovers around her after reaching the highest position like in her previous life.

……

"Twitter, twitter, twitter......" On the second day, after coming out of Begonia Garden, when passing by a wooden hibiscus tree, Gu Qingwan suddenly heard a faint cry, and she followed the sound and looked around-

"Ah, county lord, it's a newborn yellow finch cub, and the slave and maid see that the wind blows the nest down." Ziyu first discovered the bird's nest under a wooden hibiscus.

Gu Qingwan walked over, and sure enough, she saw a broken bird's nest on the ground, a newly hatched bird in the nest, not even the hair on its body had grown, the skin was almost transparent, and the blood vessels and wriggling internal organs under the skin were clearly visible.

Seeing this young bird, Gu Qingwan suddenly felt a trace of pity in her heart.

"County Lord, let Zizhu come and put this bird's nest back into the tree." Neither Zilan nor Ziyu noticed the fluctuations in her heart at the moment, and said.

"Wait!" Seeing that Zizhu's hand was about to touch the bird's nest, she suddenly screamed violently, "I'll come." ”

She walked over, and with both hands she was about to pick up the nest—

"Ah, county lord, your hand is injured and you can't touch it." Seeing this, Zilan hurriedly stopped Gu Qingwan's hands were still wrapped in gauze.

"It's okay, I won't hurt myself." She took the bird's nest from Zizhu's hand.

"County Lord, it should be placed there." Zilan pointed to the top branch of the wood hibiscus tree next to her, and there were still some yellow mud and grass heads left in the middle of the branch.

Gu Qingwan walked over and stood on tiptoe to put the bird's nest on it.

As soon as Ji Han walked into the gate of the back garden of the Marquis of Zhenyuan's mansion, he saw a girl holding a bird's nest in her hand, and she was struggling to tiptoe to put it back on the branch, but because of her lack of height, her cheeks were a little red.

His footsteps suddenly stopped involuntarily—

The eyes fell on her, she was wearing a moon-white plain satin cold blue inlaid white silk cotton skirt, covered with a snow-white silver fox fur coat, combed a startling bun, and a little emerald flower branch phoenix tail hairpin was inserted on the side, the colorful tassel of the hairpin tail swayed with her movement, and the shadow swayed in the ground, there was an indescribable beauty.

At this moment, she doesn't have the slightest hint of anger in front of him, like an innocent and romantic child, trying to save a bird.

And her hand, as if wounded, was bandaged with a piece of gauze—

A smile appeared on his face.

"Your Highness......" Chang Hao opened his mouth to call, His Highness said, I came here today to discuss family affairs with Lord Gu and Old Madam Gu.

In the past, His Royal Highness was very resistant to this marriage, but now it is unusual, which is really unpredictable.

"......" However, Ji Han raised his hand, and Chang Hao quietly retreated.

Ji Han looked at Gu Qingwan and walked over step by step-

Gu Qingwan was trying to stand on tiptoe to put the bird's nest up, when she heard a sound of footsteps behind her, she was stunned, and was about to turn back, but saw a hand stretched out from the top of her head, took the bird's nest in her hand, and easily put it back on the branch.

Gu Qingwan turned around suddenly, only to see Ji Han standing in front of her, with a purple brocade robe, wrapping his long body, and wearing a piece of jade around his waist, transparent green, and extravagant.

The smile on her face immediately disappeared on her face, this is really a narrow road!

"I've seen His Royal Highness." Her face was expressionless and her tone was cold, which showed how much she didn't welcome him.

Ji Han was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect to see Gu Qingwan's estranged appearance that he didn't want to see him so much, the shallow smile on the corner of his lips suddenly disappeared, and he said lukewarmly-

"Last time I saw the county lord's method of framing his sister at my aunt's peony flower party, and today I heard that the county lord sent his sister into the ancestral temple and was alone, but I didn't expect to have compassion for a chick."

Heh, what he meant was that she, Gu Qingwan, was such a fierce and cruel person, would she actually save a bird?

Gu Qingwan didn't care about the sarcasm between Ji Han's words, the corners of her lips slowly curved, revealing a hint of indifferent smile, and said coldly:

"Who said I was going to save it, I didn't have such a good heart, I put it back in the nest, because it is still too small, and when I ate it, I didn't even vomit the bones, so I put it back and let its mother raise it for me, and when there was more meat, I peeled it off, put it in boiling water and ate it, the meat was tender and tender, it must be delicious."

"......" When Zilan and Ziyu heard that their county lord actually said such things to His Royal Highness the prince, their faces suddenly turned white with nervousness, what happened to the always calm county lord?

And Ji Han's expression also froze, he felt as if he was deliberately tricked by her, and remembered the eldest princess's banquet again, and suddenly a feeling of displeasure came to his heart-

"You're deliberately trying to provoke me?" He frowned, stared at her and asked, this Gu Qingwan always has the ability to provoke his deeply hidden feelings.

"Your Highness thinks too much, I usually talk like this, and besides, Your Highness is high, which is not something that mortals such as me can hope for, so how can I deliberately provoke anger." As she spoke, Gu Qingwan's eyes looked away, revealing a hint of carelessness.

"Look at me! Don't shy away! Ji Han suddenly felt very annoyed, this woman's disdain for him was really unbearable.
