Chapter Seventy-One: You Sing a Double Reed with the King of Chu

Early the next morning.

The sun was rising, the cold morning dew had not yet dissipated, the whole world was shrouded in a faint mist, and the rubble on the roof shimmered with a dazzling cold light in the sunlight.

Yuan Ziling lay on the window, shivered slightly, and immediately wrapped his clothes and closed the window.

After a moment of thought, she put on her cloak, opened the door and walked out.

When she walked down the stone steps of Meteor Pavilion, a cold wind blew, she shivered, put her hands together to her mouth, exhaled a breath of warmth, rubbed her hands and continued to go downstairs.

When she came to Mingyue Pavilion, she didn't see Gu Hao who got up early to practice swords, with her understanding of Gu Hao, at this hour, he should get up, and he was already practicing swinging his sword freely.

I couldn't see Gu Hao's figure, and the light in her eyes was slightly dim.

When the guard saw Yuan Ziling coming over early in the morning, he immediately stepped forward and saluted, "The slave has seen the princess." ”

"No courtesy." Yuan Ziling said lightly, but his eyes kept looking into the room, "Hasn't the prince gotten up yet?" ”

The guard lowered his head and replied, "Back to the princess, the prince did not return to the house last night. ”

Hearing the guard's words, Yuan Ziling slowly came back to his senses, retracted his gaze, and nodded coldly, "I know, you go down." ”

She originally thought that Gu Hao was different from other men, but now it seems that he can't escape a single word of color, and he pretends to be not close to a woman on the surface, and in the end he is not lingering in the other courtyard, and he doesn't know which gentle township he is lying in at this time.

But what does this concern her?

She curled the corners of her lips contemptuously and turned to leave.

As soon as he turned around, he was greeted by Gu Hao, who was covered in cold air, the breeze blew the silver-gray robe on his body, as if stepping on the wind, his cold face was as exquisite as a fine carving, and when a pair of cold eyes saw Yuan Ziling, a cold glow of doubt flashed.

He walked over and looked at Yuan Ziling with a slight frown, his thin lips moved slightly, "Early in the morning, do you have something to do with this king?" ”

Yuan Ziling blinked, did not answer his question directly, and asked rhetorically, "You didn't return overnight, where did you go?" ”

A burst of displeasure flashed between Gu Hao's eyebrows, "What?" Where does this king need to report to you? ”

"That's not necessary, I'm just curious." Yuan Ziling avoided Gu Hao's gaze and said weakly.

After looking at the clothes on Yuan Ziling's body, as well as the face that was a little pale from the cold, he frowned and said in a deep voice: "It's windy outside, let's talk about it when we enter the room." ”

"I've wanted to go in for a long time, I'm cold." Yuan Ziling complained and rushed into the room first.

Gu Hao walked behind her slowly, hooking the corners of his lips helplessly.

Just as he was about to stride into the room, he asked the guard softly, "How long has the princess been here?" ”

"Back to the prince, the princess has been waiting here for a quarter of an hour." The guard replied.

Gu Hao's eyes tightened, and he lowered his voice and ordered: "Next time, let the princess enter the house and wait." ”

"Yes, lord." The guard stiffened his body.

Lu Zhi, who was following behind, heard Gu Hao's words, his eyes showed a light of surprise, the prince had already ordered that except for the maid who was cleaning regularly, no one else was allowed to enter the room without an order, so the guards did not dare to let Yuan Ziling enter the room and wait in private.

Now that the prince has made an exception for the princess, it seems that the prince is still different from the princess.

"Let the kitchen cook a bowl of ginger soup and bring it over, and then go down and get a pot of hot tea." Gu Hao instructed the guards, and then walked into the room.

Seeing that Yuan Ziling was so cold that he kept rubbing his hands, Gu Hao frowned slightly and asked, "You came to find this king, why did you come to find it?" ”

Yuan Ziling raised his chin, looked at Gu Hao with a torch in his eyes, and smiled, "The prince said yesterday that he would give me five hundred taels of silver tickets, does it count?" ”

Hearing Yuan Ziling's question, Gu Hao's face sank, his eyes were half-squinted, and he asked in a questioning tone: "You came to this king early in the morning, are you afraid that this king will abscond with money?" ”

Yuan Ziling pursed her lips, raised her slender eyelashes, stared at Gu Hao, and the corners of her mouth raised a charming arc, "How do I know if you can run?" ”

Gu Hao sneered, "This king has promised that he will never break his promise." ”

At this time, the guard walked in with a pot of hot tea, silently poured two cups of tea, and withdrew, Gu Hao glanced at Lu Zhi, Lu Zhi came over with understanding, picked up the teacup, and handed it to Yuan Ziling.

"Princess, take a sip of hot tea first to warm up your body." A burst of joy inadvertently flashed on Lu Zhi's face.

Yuan Ziling took the teacup and didn't drink it for the first time, but held it in the palm of his hand to warm his hands.

"Lu Zhi, you go to the silver treasury and get four hundred taels of silver tickets and one hundred taels of cash for her." After Gu Hao finished instructing Lu Zhi, he glanced at Yuan Ziling lightly, then turned around and walked into the bedroom.

"Yes, lord." Lu Zhi bowed, and when he was about to leave, the afterglow at the end of his eyes saw that Gu Hao had already gone away, he looked at Yuan Ziling, and said softly: "Princess, after you left the courtyard yesterday, after half an hour, the prince left the courtyard and went to the barracks, the prince spent the night in the barracks last night, don't worry." ”

Hearing Lu Zhi's words, Yuan Ziling was slightly stunned, rolled his eyes, and said hesitantly: "Where did he spend the night, what does it matter to me." ”

Gu Hao's cold roar floated faintly in the bedroom: "Lu Zhi, if you say more, this king will cut your tongue." ”

Being intimidated by Gu Hao like this, Lu Zhi ran faster than anyone else, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yuan Ziling bit his lower lip, a sly smile appeared on his face.

When Gu Hao came out of the bedroom, he was holding a black mink fur cloak in his hand, walked over, and handed it to Yuan Ziling, "Put it on, it's warmer." ”

This move flattered Yuan Ziling, and the person in front of him suddenly became so gentle and considerate, meticulous, it felt too unreal.

She nodded in a trance, put down the teacup in her hand, reached out to untie the bow of the cloak on her body, took off the cloak, and was just about to pick up the cloak in Gu Hao's hand, Gu Hao suddenly opened the cloak, put the cloak on her with her own hands, and tied the collar for her intimately and meticulously.

Yuan Ziling stared at Gu Hao in a daze, swallowed her saliva, and finally broke the embarrassing atmosphere with a voice, "Lord Wang, your frivolity yesterday was pretended, right?" ”

"You're not stupid, otherwise why would you get out so easily?" Gu Hao looked down at Yuan Ziling condescendingly, and curled the corners of his lips contemptuously.

"So, you sing a double reed with the King of Chu?" Yuan Ziling woke up like a dream.

"No, the king's original plan was that if someone named you to take you down, the king would have to rob it, so he had to show his affection for you." A cold light flashed in Gu Hao's eyes, "But Gu Yan seems to have planned a step earlier than this king, so this king didn't entangle, and besides, Gu Yan is half a gentleman, and if it falls into his hands, you won't suffer." ”

"Half a gentleman? What do you mean? Yuan Ziling frowned puzzled.
