Chapter Fifteen: The Soul of a Playwright
The second lady had just gone to ask Gu Qingxue why she wanted to torture Liu Shuang, but before she could find out the reason, she heard that someone from Prince Qin's palace was coming and wanted to take Gu Yunyao away.
For a moment she didn't know whether to be worried or happy.
Gu Qingwen no longer pretended to be indifferent now, and came with her to see what was going on.
"Yun Yao," the second lady cried, "God, what's going on?"
"Second sister, when did you offend His Highness King Qin? King Qin...how can this be so good?" Gu Qingwen's eyes also turned red.
Gu Yunyao looked at them like two fools: "Are you okay? This young lady is going to Prince Qin's Mansion, not the Palace of Yama.
Don't worry, I'm a very lucky young lady. Even if I fall off the cliff, even the Lord of Hell won't stop me. I still have to live a good life."
"Yun Yao, don't say angry words, King Qin..."
The second lady hesitated to speak, Qiu Feng could no longer listen: "What's wrong with my prince? My prince said that if anyone pretends to cry or act coy, he will be beaten for real."
With a "swish", he pulled out half of the saber: "Are you still crying?"
The second lady and Gu Qingwen both choked and went back.
Gu Yunyao was slightly surprised: This guard can handle it.
The autumn wind blew and the sword returned to its sheath: "Let's go!"
Gu Yunyao followed them out of the general's mansion and got on the carriage at the door.
The carriage in Prince Qin's palace is spacious and luxurious, silently saying "I am very rich" everywhere.
Gu Yunyao leaned against the car window and looked out through the gap in the car curtain, silently memorizing the route from the General's Mansion to the Prince of Qin's Mansion.
The Prince of Qin's Mansion is much larger than the General's Mansion, with a black door with golden nails and majestic stone lions.
The carriage stopped, Qiu Feng got off the horse and walked to the front of the carriage: "Miss Gu Er, get out of the car!"
Gu Yunyao got off the carriage and followed him inside. Along the way, he passed through houses and courtyards, surrounded by pavilions, small bridges and flowing water. Occasionally, he saw a few rare birds flying by.
In a pavilion by the lake, Shen Munan sat on a large Taishi chair, wearing a red brocade robe with luxurious and glittering gold and silver embroidered patterns.
He rested his chin on his elbows, his eyes were slightly closed, his eyelashes were as long as feathers, his lips were red, and he looked good.
Gu Yunyao wondered: Didn't he say he fainted?
He doesn't look like he's in poor health.
"How long do you plan to watch?" Shen Munan asked lazily.
Gu Yunyao choked, cleared her throat and asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder what you want me to do?"
Shen Munan opened his eyes and looked surprised: "What? Didn't my guard tell you?"
"I said it." Gu Yunyao nodded.
"Then you still ask?"
Gu Yunyao: "...Isn't that an excuse?"
Shen Munan frowned: "Why did Miss Gu think it was an excuse? Lu Chuanlin just stank all over, and it made me faint.
My nose smells sandalwood, herbal incense, and lastly Hongxiu Tianxiang’s special fragrant pills all day long. The sense of smell that I finally cultivated was suddenly destroyed by him."
What the hell is "Red Sleeves Adding Fragrance"? Gu Yunyao remembered that when she came here, she saw a particularly grand spice shop, which seemed to be called this name.
Isn't this man too pretentious?
"Your Majesty, why are you looking for me?" Gu Yunyao thought for a moment, "If I remember correctly, there is a saying that every wrong has its owner, and every debt has its owner."
"That's the truth," Shen Munan tapped his forehead with his finger, "I was doing well in Hantan, but you suddenly jumped down and destroyed my skills. I feel very uncomfortable. The weather is nice today, so I thought
I went out to relax, but just as I was about to feel better, I was struck by the stench again."
"Miss Gu, where are you talking about?"
Gu Yunyao took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, haven't we already agreed? Do we want to cooperate? Now you are digging up the blame, which is not what a gentleman does, right?"
Shen Munan pressed his chest with his hand: "You said that this king is a villain? You..."
"Your Majesty, I didn't mean that."
"No, I am already angry with you."
Gu Yunyao: "...then what does the prince want?"
Shen Munan lowered his eyes and looked at the back of his hand. The original little red spot had long since disappeared, but he was sure that Gu Yunyao had done something there before.
He leaned forward slightly, and his long hair fell from his shoulders, blowing gently in the wind, like clouds and silk.
Gu Yunyao secretly regretted: a good skin, paired with a drama soul.
"Miss Gu, what did you use to hurt me that night?"
The smile on Shen Munan's face did not change, but the smile did not reach his eyes. His beautiful eyes were black and white and cold.
He originally thought it was just numbing, but he didn't expect that as soon as he left the general's palace, he couldn't move half of his body. He didn't slowly regain consciousness until he returned to the palace.
That feeling was the first time he had experienced it in his life, and it was even more terrifying than when he first knew he had been poisoned.
There is still a way to cure the poisoning, and he can still fight, or at least commit suicide.
But the numbness and inability to move made him feel like he could be slaughtered at any time, but he had no power to fight back.
He, Shen Munan, would never allow this to happen.
After much patience, he did not go looking for Gu Yunyao, but waited patiently for his subordinates to collect all the information about Gu Yunyao and study it carefully.
There were two completely different people in the information and in reality, which made him even more incredible.
So, he didn't want to guess anymore and simply asked in person today.
Gu Yunyao glanced at his hand: "Your Majesty, you mean the one who made your body numb?"
"Exactly."
It turned out to be because of this.
Gu Yunyao didn't panic anymore.
He turned around and sat down on the chair, and said casually: "Your Majesty, I came in a hurry. I'm a little hungry. As you know, my life in the General's Mansion is average."
Shen Munan rested his chin on his hand and stared at her for a long time: "Instruct the kitchen to prepare it for Miss Gu."
"What else do you want?"
Just as Gu Yunyao was about to speak, Shen Munan tilted his head and asked Qiu Feng: "What happened to the person who made the request to me last time?"
"Back to my lord, two snow wolves happened to come to the Zoo at that time, and they were eaten as wolves."
Shen Munan smiled and said to Gu Yunyao: "Miss Gu, continue talking."
Gu Yunyao: "..."
When the food was ready, Gu Yunyao didn't show any courtesy. She started to use her chopsticks when facing a table full of delicacies.
Shen Munan's eyes narrowed slightly: "Miss Gu is not afraid that this food is poisonous? After all, even if I kill you here, no one will dare to say anything."
Gu Yunyao glanced at the Chaos Ring on her finger: It's a joke. The most basic function of the Chaos Ring is to give an early warning. If it was poisonous, it would have warned you.
"The prince and I have a cooperation agreement before. I believe that the prince is of high status and he will stick to his word. He will never use poison to get in trouble with a little girl like me."
Shen Munan raised his eyebrows slightly: "I never care about any agreement. If you want to abide by it, just abide by it. If you don't want to abide by it, just forget it."
Gu Yunyao was choked: You are cruel.
Just at this moment, someone came to report: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is here."
Shen Munan's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Miss Gu, have a good meal. I will come see you later."
He stood up and left, and Gu Yunyao started eating alone.
These things... look exquisite, taste bland, but are actually very ordinary.
Gu Yunyao was just thinking about how to deal with this sinister and unpredictable man when she suddenly heard someone exclaim.
"Quickly, call the doctor! The prince fainted again!"
Gu Yunyao's hand shook and her chopsticks almost fell to the ground.
