After a not enthusiastic debate, Lin Wanzhi finally returned to the Protectorate Mansion with Gu Jingnian and Gu Haoran.

In the dead of night, everything is silent

In Gu Yanran's room, Gu Qiqiao was lying on the table and chair on the side of the bed and sleeping soundly.

On the bed, Gu Yanran, who was supposed to be asleep, suddenly opened her eyes.

"......" Gu Yanran lay flat and was stunned for a while before slowly sitting up.

She remembered that after taking the potion, she poured some of the potion with water on the silk handkerchief around her waist.

Then, she found a hidden place to hide the porcelain vase, and casually threw the silk handkerchief near the bed.

After careful preparation, she lay down on the ground in the most comfortable position, allowing her consciousness to gradually withdraw.

The reason why she woke up was not because there was something wrong with the potion, but because the dosage of the potion, which she was taking, was too precise.

The dose of potion she had taken would only make her sleepy for four to five hours, and that time was now within the time frame she had expected.

Gu Yanran turned her gaze and saw Gu Qiqiao, who was sleeping not far away.

"Good work." Gu Yanran deliberately restrained her voice, obviously not wanting to wake up Gu Qiqiao, nor wanting others to find out that she had woken up.

Suddenly, there was a 'click' of footsteps by the window.

Gu Yanran raised her eyebrows, didn't make a sound, quietly lay back in the quilt, and closed her eyes again.

Those who have the ability to freely enter and exit the Yingyue Mansion without being blocked by the dark guards of the Netherworld Mansion are the only two people who think about it, Nangong Xuanyi and the Night Netherworld.

Nangong Xuanyi is now going to Fengping County because of an emergency, and the person who came at this moment must be the night ghost.

Did you know the news that she was unconscious, so you came to see her?

In the interval between Gu Yanran's eyes closing and thinking, the footsteps of the comer slowly approached.

However, the person who came did not walk to the bed for the first time, but first went to the side and ordered Gu Qiqiao's sleeping hole to prevent her from waking up halfway.

After Gu Yanran heard the movement, she couldn't help but sympathize with Gu Qiqiao. "......" sleeps in that sleeping position until the acupuncture channel is unlocked, and the whole body will continue to ache for a day or two.

The footsteps of the visitor stopped by the bed, and immediately after, Gu Yanran clearly felt that the bed beside her was sinking.

Gu Yanran. "......" This is sitting on the edge of the bed.

"Ugh." The visitor let out a soft sigh and reached out to touch the side of her face. "Yan'er, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have hidden it from you."

Gu Yanran's heart jumped. "......" How could it be Xuanyi?! Hasn't he already gone to Bongpyeong-gun?!

"I didn't expect you to recognize that White Night wasn't me so quickly, and I didn't expect you to be so radical that you would drink the potion on your own and fall asleep." Nangong Xuanyi leaned over, lightly touched Gu Yanran's lips, and said with a smile. "So, can you open your eyes now?"

Gu Yanran knew that pretending to be asleep was recognized, opened her eyes, and pushed away Nangong Xuanyi, who was smiling very good.

"You're taking advantage of me!" Gu Yanran glared at him viciously, and then wiped her lips with the back of her hand.

Nangong Xuanyi saw that Gu Yanran's red lips were gradually swollen, and hurriedly grabbed her wrist. "Okay, it's going to bleed if you rub it again, don't you hurt?"

"You can even let a stand-in complete our family affairs, what do I have to do with you if it hurts or not!" Gu Yanran shook off Nangong Xuanyi's hand.

"I'm sorry, it's my fault." Nangong Xuanyi's attitude of admitting his mistakes was particularly sincere. "I let Bai Ye change my appearance, but I don't want to be found out that I left the Imperial City, the matter over there in Fengping County is very important, I have to go over and deal with it in person, once the matter is dealt with, I will rush to the Imperial City as soon as possible."

Gu Yanran smiled coldly. "Heh, do you dare to say that if you can't return to the wedding banquet, Bai Ye won't complete the family affairs for you?"

Nangong Xuanyi knows that he is at a loss, and he is not easy to quibble. "That's something I didn't think through."

"You need time to deal with something urgent, why don't you talk to me?" Gu Yanran asked.

"The wedding is coming, and I don't want to affect your mood."

"There's a good chance you won't be able to make it back to the Imperial City before the wedding feast, so why don't you let me know?" Gu Yanran asked again.

"I'm afraid you'll be cranky."

Gu Yanran sat on the head of the bed and looked at Nangong Xuanyi with a mocking face. "I'm sorry to tell you that my mood has been severely affected and I have been completely cranky."

"......" Nangong Xuanyi was speechless.

"Since you want time, I'll give you time." Gu Yanran asked Nangong Xuanyi again. "From this moment on, the wedding banquet of you and me will be postponed indefinitely, the reason is that 'the concubine of the Protector's Mansion will not wake up', how long will it take, then how long will I, the concubine of the Protector's Mansion, fall asleep, in this way, the second prince is still satisfied?"

Nangong Xuanyi couldn't help but be a little annoyed. "Yan'er! Would you like to calm down?! ”

"I'm calm." Gu Yanran said lightly. "You don't tell me anything, I don't ask anything, I give you enough space, and I buy you enough time, why do you still talk to me in the tone you are now? Are you annoying me? I haven't annoyed you, what right do you have to annoy me? ”

"I'm not annoyed with you, I'm annoyed with myself!" Nangong Xuanyi hurriedly explained. "It's because my ideas and practices are not in place, I don't take into account your feelings, and even cause you to make some forbearance and sacrifices, Yan'er, it's my fault, I apologize to you."

Gu Yanran lowered her eyes. "What's wrong with you? It should be that I was wrong, my current tone, and the words I say now, seem to be unreasonable, willful and arrogant. ”

"No, no, you're not unreasonable, you're not willful or arrogant, it's me who did something wrong to make you unhappy, you should do whatever you want!"

"You're even more like I'm messing around." Gu Yanran didn't bother to talk nonsense with Nangong Xuanyi anymore. "You've already gone to Fengping County to deal with important business, why are you in this place at this time?"

Nangong Xuanyi said. "Bai Ye asked someone to send me a message, saying that my daughter-in-law was about to die, and I was about to return home, but I received news on the way that you had been asleep since you suddenly fainted."

Gu Yanran raised her eyebrows. "And then?"

"When I rushed back in a hurry and heard the ins and outs of the whole thing, the first thing I did was to come to you to confess, but I didn't expect that you were pretending to be asleep." Nangong Xuanyi's tone couldn't help but be a little resentful.

Gu Yanran glared back directly with a pair of eyes. "I pretend to be asleep, why do you want to take advantage of me?"

"You're all my daughter-in-law, how about kissing it?" Nangong Xuanyi said confidently.

"If the marriage hasn't been completed yet, then it's not your daughter-in-law!"

Nangong Xuanyi was not happy. "The marriage is still a few days away, shouldn't I kiss my daughter-in-law a few days in advance?"

Gu Yanran couldn't help but laugh when she heard this. "Trouble the second prince to recognize the reality, and now our marriage is ...... It's not just a few days now. ”
