This is the first time that his private area has been intruded by such a girl. And her presence was so strong that he could not ignore it, and also he …… did not hate it.

The way she sat there quietly, it was clear that she did not want to disturb him.

He wanted to tell her to go back, but somehow, the words did not come out.

And, in the presence of others, he actually put down his long-established vigilance and wariness and closed his eyes at ease.

Wen Qi Qi was afraid of disturbing his sleep, and had been so quiet that she did not make a single sound.

Until she heard the sound of the man’s steady breathing, she raised her eyes to look.

Is Gu Lin Chao asleep?

She did not leave and waited for the arrival of the Imperial Physician.

It didn’t take long for Wang Houde to return with Imperial Physician Lin.

Wen Qi Qi was busy welcoming them, then put her finger up to her lips and admonished, “Wang Ye is asleep so keep your voice down.”

The two of them nodded.

Only then did Wen Qi Qi lead the two of them inside.

The three of them almost tiptoed in, not daring to make any sound.

When they arrived at the bedside, Wen Qi Qi gently pulled Gu Lin Chao’s hand out from under the blanket and let Imperial Physician Lin check his pulse.

The doctor felt his pulse very carefully.

The three of them were careful over here, not daring to make a sound at all, but in fact, when Wang Houde and Imperial Physician Lin came back, Gu Lin Chao woke up.

But seeing the three of them like this, he didn’t make a sound.

A moment later, Imperial Physician Lin withdrew his hand.

Wen Qi Qi put Gu Lin Chao’s hand back into the blanket, and then invited Imperial Physician Lin to go to the outer room to talk.

“Doctor Lin, how is our family’s Wang Ye’s condition?” She asked in a soft voice.

Gu Lin Chao in the inner room, hearing the words she said, opened his eyes haughtily.

Our family’s Wang Ye ……

This is a very common phrase, but somehow, hearing it come out of her mouth, his heart inexplicably gave birth to a peculiar feeling.

Not repulsive, and even …… with a little hidden pleasure.

“Replying to the words of Wang Fei, Wang Ye has a strong deficiency yang energy, and because of the cold, this caused a high fever. I will prescribe a medicine to reduce the fever. Wang Fei should have someone boil it for Wang Ye to take it, and it should be able to reduce the fever.” The doctor said respectfully, and went to prescribe the medicine.

Wen Qi Qi turned her head to look at Wang Houde and said with surprise, “How did the Regent catch a cold for no good reason?”

Wang Houde frowned and said, “His Majesty took several cold baths last night ……”

Wen Qi Qi’s eyes widened, “It’s still spring, how can he take a cold bath, and he took several times. Why didn’t you stop him?”

Wang Houde’s face was bitter, “How can a servant stop a master?”

When Imperial Physician Lin heard it next to him, he jerked his beard before subtly reminding Wen Qi Qi: “His Majesty is in his prime, so using cold water to relieve himself is not the proper way. Besides, it’s still spring, so taking cold water baths will make even the strongest body unable to bear it.”

Wen Qi Qi: “……”

What do you mean by using cold water to relieve oneself, what is not the proper way?

Also, why did Gu Lin Chao use cold water to relieve himself?

She opened her lips and wanted to ask Imperial Physician Lin, what is the proper way to relieve himself?

But as an old bookworm who had read several romance novels, she quickly realized what Imperial Physician Lin meant.

If she asks this question again, it is too pretentious.

However, Gu Lin Chao took a cold bath, because of his physiological needs ah ……

She thought he was more clear-headed and controlled it, but she did not expect that the need was so great that he had to take several cold baths a night to get relief.

“You ……” Gu Lin Chao somewhat dry mouth spat out a word, Wen Qi Qi immediately came closer, “Yes? What’s wrong Wang Ye, do you have any orders?”

The girl’s elegant fragrance suddenly leapt into the nose, and Gu Lin Chao could not help but feel dizzy.

He moved his lips, and finally did not speak again, but silently unbuckled his belt.

Wen Qi Qi’s eyes fell on his scarlet lips that were as red as blood, and she was frozen for a moment.

A big man’s lips were red like this, it was really demonic and charming.

She couldn’t help but swallow her saliva.

Gu Lin Chao heard the sound and raised his eyes to look at her in confusion.

He saw a strange light bursting out of her eyes, and he was stunned.

Wen Qi Qi came back to her senses and diligently took off his outer robe for him and put it aside. She found that he had sweat on his forehead and was a bit surprised, but moved quickly to wring a hand towel to wipe his sweat.

Gu Lin Chao somewhat uncomfortably inclined his head, “This King can do it himself.”

“No, Wang Ye is now a patient. You should lie down and rest well, leave the rest to me.” Wen Qi Qi said, and pushed down his shoulder unceremoniously, making him lie down.

Gu Lin Chao was a bit helpless, so he had to lie down obediently.

Just as he lay down, a warm hand towel covered his face.

The girl’s soft fingers traced his cheeks. He was a little ticklish and dodged his head sideways.

Seeing this, Wen Qi Qi simply stretched out her hand to hold on his shoulder.

“Your Majesty be good, don’t move. I will help you clean your face, it will be quick.”

Gu Lin Chao: “……”

A very wonderful feeling grew from the bottom of his heart.

He raised his eyes to look at the girl’s gentle little face, and his expression was dazed.

Wen Qi Qi did not notice his gaze. While wiping his face, she looked at his features up close.

She had never seen Gu Lin Chao this close up.

She found that he was really good looking.

His facial features are handsome and elegant. His eyebrows are picturesque and elegant, his eyelashes are dark and dense, longer than a woman’s eyelashes, but because of his long-time involvement in the battlefield, his eyebrows are more bold and resolute than others. It looks good and does not show a trace of femininity.

In the past, she only dared to watch from afar, but now ……

She looked at the hand towel in her hand and secretly said that she could now mooch off of him openly and honestly.

She herself was a little impressed with her own boldness.

Looking at the blush that gradually rose on his face, she looked back and asked, “Why is Wang Ye’s face red?”

Gu Lin Chao avoided her eyes. His black eyes closed slightly, his long eyelashes trembled lightly, and he said in a muffled voice: “It’s a little hot.”

“Hot is good.” Wen Qi Qi nodded. She pulled the quilt over him and covered him with it, and said with relief, “It means that Wang Ye’s body is going to sweat, after sweating for a while, the fever will subside.”

She took the hand towel and washed it, hung it up again, then went to pour a cup of hot water over to feed Gu Lin Chao to drink, “Wang Ye, have some warm water first before you sleep.”

Looking at the girl’s actions of taking care of him, Gu Lin Chao’s heart floated and he half propped himself up, “This King will drink by himself.”

Wen Qi Qi did not force him, handed him the water cup.

When he had finished drinking, she advised, “Your Majesty, hurry up and sleep, the doctor will arrive later.”

“Mm.” Gu Lin Chao lay down again.

But when he closed his eyes, he heard the girl’s soft footsteps, and after turning around the room, he stopped.

He subconsciously opened his eyes to look, and saw the girl sitting on a couch by the window.

His eyes flashed within a trace of strangeness.

However, when he got up, his body suddenly stumbled.

“Be careful!” Wen Qi Qi hurriedly stretched out her other hand and firmly circled his waist.

Gu Lin Chao’s body stiffened and he looked down at her.

He saw that there was a hint of tension on her face.

He was stunned for a moment, and when his gaze glanced at her body snuggling close to him, a blush surfaced on his handsome face, which was uncomfortable.

“This King is fine.” After a long time, he reached out to push her away and walked out.

Wen Qi Qi also followed behind him, “Be careful, Your Majesty ……”

“Be careful with your feet ……”

“Be careful of the threshold!”

Gu Lin Chao: “……”

Si Yi: “……”

Seeing that he suddenly stopped, Wen Qi Qi was busy going forward to hold his arm, “It’s better for me to hold you, it’s more stable.”

Gu Lin Chao felt his head hurt even more.

“No need, this King is not so sick that he can’t even see the road clearly.”

Wen Qi Qi said: “It’s not so bad, but you are sick, and your legs are not so strong. If you don’t step firmly and fall, it would be bad. You are responsible for the country, so you must not be careless.” Saying that, she reminded him, “Your Majesty, lift your feet.”

Gu Lin Chao’s hand supported his forehead. Looking at the girl’s serious face, the words of refusal did not come out in the end.

Wen Qi Qi supported his arm and sent him back to the west garden.

“Your Majesty, quickly go to the bed and lie down.”

Gu Lin Chao sat down on the bed without saying a word.

However, as soon as he sat down, Wen Qi Qi squatted down at his feet and tried to take off his boots for him.

He was stunned and reacted, holding her hand that was about to move, “You don’t have to be so ……”

Wen Qi Qi raised her face to look at him, “Your Majesty is sick, it is proper for me to take care of you.”

Gu Lin Chao was silent for a moment and asked, “Do you have a request for this King?”

Wen Qi Qi froze and met the man’s ink dark eyes. After a pause, she shook her head, “Why did you say that, Wang Ye?” Saying that, with a piteous face, she said, “Could it be that in Your Majesty’s heart, whatever I do, I have an agenda?”

Looking at her expression as if she had suffered some great injustice, Gu Lin Chao’s lips moved and finally shook his head, “No.”

“Then why did Your Majesty say that? I did not ask you for anything.” Wen Qi Qi lowered her head, sniffed her nose, and said, “If I did ask for anything, I would only ask that Your Majesty be well, never get sick, and live a long life.”

Gu Lin Chao looked at her with some shock.

Wen Qi Qi took the opportunity to take his boots, then lifted his legs and put them on the bed.

Immediately after that, she also went behind him and put the pillow in place for him, “Okay, Your Majesty, you should lie down.”

Gu Lin Chao sat rigidly and did not move for half a day.

Seeing this, Wen Qi Qi kindly said, “Sleeping in your outer robe will indeed be uncomfortable, so I will undress you.” After saying that, she reached out to his waist.

Gu Lin Chao came back to his senses and clasped her hand. The smooth touch in his hand made a layer of redness appear on his face and he hurriedly let go, saying in a muted voice: “It’s fine for this King to do it himself.”

“Oh, that’s fine.” Wen Qi Qi did not force him either, but stood up straight and looked at him.

Noticing her gaze, Gu Lin Chao’s hand on the belt never moved further, feeling a layer of sweat rise all over his body.

The girl’s beautiful eyes were staring at him in a different way.

He suddenly felt a little nervous.

It was a feeling he had never had when facing the battlefield with thousands of horses or the treacherous and ever-changing court.

The study.

Gu Lin Chao was halfway through his political affairs when he suddenly felt a little dizzy. He shook his head and raised his hand to rub his brow, but the effect was not obvious.

He soaked in cold water several times last night, and did not sleep all night, so today, his spirit is indeed a little weak.

But he has always been in good health and does not get sick much, so he did not take it to heart.

In the morning, he went to the morning court as usual, and after the court was dismissed, he also went to the military camp.

“Wang Ye, if you are not comfortable, then rest first.” Wang Hou De noticed that his face looked different, and quickly advised.

Gu Lin Chao shook his head, “This King is fine.”

He was holding his forehead with one hand, while the other hand took a brush and was writing on a file.

Wang Hou De saw this and was anxious.

The master is obviously uncomfortable, but still held up. Not even a man of steel can stand this kind of torment.

When he didn’t know what to do, Wen Qi Qi came in.

“Your Majesty, I saw that you don’t look too good, so I had the kitchen boil some lotus seed porridge for you ……”

Wang Hou De saw her come in, and as if he had seen a savior, he immediately said, “Your Highness, you have come at the right time. Wang Ye is uncomfortable and refuses to rest, so please help me persuade him.”

Wen Qi Qi smiled, looked at Gu Lin Chao, and saw that he looked even worse than what she had just seen outside the door.

She handed the food box to Wang Hou De and quickly stepped forward to hold Gu Ling Chao’s hand as he reviewed the papers and softly advised, “Wang Ye, if you are not feeling well, don’t hold on.”

Gu Lin Chao raised his eyes and glanced at her, pushing her hand away, “This King is fine ……”

“Still saying that you are fine, there is no blood in your face at all.” Wen Qi Qi said. She quickly reached out and probed his forehead, her hand was hot, she was shocked and hurriedly instructed Wang Hou De, “His Majesty is feverish, go get the doctor.”

Wang Hou De was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly put the food box down and flew out.

“I said it’s fine ……” Gu Lin Chao frowned, somewhat dissatisfied with Wen Qi Qi’s fussiness.

However, Wen Qi Qi did not care about his complaints. She suddenly reached around his back and put her hand under his armpit, trying to help him up, “No, you are feverish, you have to rest in bed ……”

Gu Lin Chao did not expect her to suddenly reach over. He was shocked and his face changed slightly, “You, you let go ……”

“I won’t let go unless you go to rest.” Wen Qi Qi’s tone is strong, then without any hesitation she shouted outside, “Si Yi quickly come in, help your master to go to rest.”

Si Yi immediately walked in.

Gu Lin Chao’s face was a bit ugly and he was holding his forehead, saying with difficulty, “Wen Qi Qi, do you not understand my words? Hurry up and let go!” With that, he pushed her hand.

Wen Qi Qi was not afraid of him at all now. He was sick at the moment, so his sullen face was not as intimidating as it could be.

He pushed her hand away, and she immediately helped him up again, and then, despite his objection, waved straight towards Si Yi, “Your master is sick, come and help me take him back to rest.”

Si Yi was somewhat dissatisfied with her tossing his master like this, but at this time, seeing Gu Lin Chao’s face, which was indeed very pale, he had to go forward.

“Wang Ye.”

Gu Lin Chao’s gaze was fixed on Wen Qi Qi.

Wen Qi Qi did not budge at all, “Do you want to walk by yourself, or do you want us to help?”

Looking at the unyielding insistence in the girl’s eyes, Gu Ling Chao’s black eyes closed slightly. His long eyelashes trembled and he finally lost the battle. He dropped the brush in his hand and got up to stand up.

Edited by EllieKit

She looked this way, so the words that Gu Lin Chao had prepared to reprimand her could not be said.

After all, she was so good at admitting her faults, and she was also sympathetic to Atuo Jiang Hua and went off on the wrong track for a while.

Plus, she didn’t actually do anything to hurt anyone’s feelings.

“Since you know that you are wrong, then I’ll let it go this time, and you must not do it again next time.”

“I know.” Wen Qi Qi was secretly happy. She was right to take the initiative to admit her mistake first. If she had waited until Gu Lin Chao asked about it, the situation might have been different.

However, she had only just finished being happy when she heard Gu Lin Chao say again, “Also, do you have anything to say about what you did in the Palace yesterday?”

Wen Qi Qi’s heart sank with a “thud”. Could it be that Gu Lin Chao knew about what she had done to Wen Ruyi in the Palace yesterday?

Thinking, she shook her head blankly, “What does Your Majesty want me to say?”

Gu Lin Chao’s gaze fell on the left side of her face.

That red mark, today there is no longer any trace to be seen.

But–

“Wen Qi Qi, you still want to hide it from this King?” His voice was slightly deep, and his dark eyes, swept a glance at her.

When Wen Qi Qi heard his anger, her heart trembled and she bit her lip, saying, “I am not hiding anything from you, am I?”

Gu Lin Chao saw that she was still refusing to tell the truth at this point, and a hint of anger colored his eyebrows.

“This King knows that you and Wen Ruyi do not have relations, but why do you have to make up that kind of statement?”

“Which kind of statement?” Wen Qi Qi froze.

“How you want to deal with Wen Ruyi, this King won’t care, but you can’t let this King’s reputation be damaged.” Gu Lin Chao warned, and after a pause, added, “You made up those kinds of words, which made this King …… very uncomfortable.”

Wen Qi Qi finally understood this time.

So he was referring to ……

She was inexplicably a little happy in her heart.

It turned out that being liked by Wen Ruyi, in his opinion, was something that would damage his reputation and make his heart very uncomfortable.

If Wen Ruyi had heard this, she thought she would have vomited blood with anger on the spot.

It’s a pity, they should have let Wen Ruyi hear it in person.

“I know, I won’t talk nonsense again.” After saying that, she quickly dropped her head, afraid that the corner of her lips curled up, would be seen by him.

Gu Lin Chao glanced at her. Just as he was about to lift a foot to go in, he thought of one thing and said, “You are this King’s legitimate wife. As long as you don’t make mistakes, this King will never divorce you, and no one can take your place.” After a pause, he added, “This King is not swan meat either.”

After saying that, he did not stop and entered the Royal residence with big steps.

However, Wen Qi Qi froze in place.

Was Gu Lin Chao saying these words in response to the words she made up yesterday in front of Empress Dowager Guo?

She blinked her eyes and shouted offhandedly, “Then I’m not a toad either? ……”

When Gu Lin Chao, who hadn’t gone far, heard these words, his footsteps paused and he couldn’t help but laugh lowly.

This woman ……

He shook his head and walked towards the study.

After Wen Qi Qi said it offhand, she regretted it.

She is silly, Gu Lin Chao said he is not swan meat which is telling her that she is not a toad? Ah.

But she was so anxious, she had to reiterate it again.

She couldn’t even look at herself anymore.

She stroked her forehead.

But thinking about what Gu Lin Chao said, she had no reason to feel some sweetness in her heart.

He said that no one can take her place.

So does that mean that as long as he doesn’t fall, she can be the Regent Consort for the rest of her life, in all her glory?

Gu Lin Chao is really a very good person.

When she thought about it, she felt she should care for him a little more.

He doesn’t look too good today, so he shouldn’t get sick.

In fact, for such an organization as Chi Yu Lou, she does not know much, but with Wen Ting Xuan having done so much, she must also give some effort to do so.

At least, she has the Chi Yu Lou order token in her hand, so those people don’t dare to do anything.

When Wen Ting Xuan heard the words, he was hesitant and patted her shoulder, “You do not have to be too stressed. If it’s not possible, there is still me, right?”

If she were still the same, he would not dare to let her do this kind of thing, but he saw with his own eyes the transformation of his sister. She is not the same as before, and she has some skills. In addition, she is smart, if he lets her take over Chi Yu Lou, there should be no problem.

“I know.” Wen Qi Qi nodded, then added, “When you take the martial arts test in a few days, I will go to cheer you on.”

“Well, then I’ll go back first. I’ve been exhausted these past few days, I need to go back and catch up on my sleep.” Wen Ting Xuan said, and hurriedly walked out.

Wen Qi Qi said, “Wait for me, I’ll see you off.”

When the two siblings reached the door of the residence, they ran into Gu Lin Chao, who had returned from outside.

When Wen Ting Xuan saw him, he went forward and bowed, “Greetings to the Regent Prince.”

Gu Lin Chao said in a warm voice, “No need to be polite.” Seeing that he was about to leave, he said, “It’s almost noon, so why don’t you go back after lunch?”

Wen Ting Xuan thought, Who would dare to sit with the Regent and have lunch together!

He shook his head and refused, “I didn’t sleep well last night, and I’m a little weak, so I’d better go back and rest first. I’ll come back to the Royal Residence next time.”

Gu Lin Chao smiled and saw that his eyes were indeed a little blue and black, so he didn’t urge any further and only said, “Then you go slowly.”

“Okay. Wang Ye, Wang Fei, you go back.” Wen Ting Xuan said to the two of them, then mounted his horse and hurried away.

Wen Qi Qi watched him go far away, then turned around to enter the door.

Seeing Gu Lin Chao still standing there, she froze. But when she saw his pale face, she asked with some concern, “What is wrong with you, Your Highness?” After saying that, she stood on tiptoe and reached out to touch his forehead.

However, Gu Lin Chao tilted his head and her hand fell empty.

She blinked her eyes. Thinking of his three-foot rule, she could only withdraw her hand resentfully, but still said with concern: “Does Wang Ye need to find a doctor to take a look? You are not looking well.”

“This King is fine.” Gu Lin Chao said indifferently.

He was going to ask her about yesterday, but then he thought of that hug in front of the residence’s door last night. He was a bit hesitant and uncomfortable, so he gave up.

On the contrary, Wen Qi Qi took the initiative to explain herself, “Your Majesty, yesterday, I was wrong ……”

Saying that, she hung her head and had a good attitude of admitting her mistake.

Gu Lin Chao froze. His gaze fell on the top of her hair. Today, she only simply pulled up her hair in a bun and fixed it with a plum blossom hairpin, which was very elegant and beautiful.

After a pause, he pursed his lips and asked, “Where did you go wrong?”

“I should have gotten your permission to go out yesterday, and I shouldn’t have agreed to accompany Jiang Hua to eat and drink because I was sympathetic to the fact that she would soon enter the Palace and would probably not have the opportunity to leave the palace in the future.

I went to Qingfeng Pavilion for a drink, but I actually set foot in the Yan Cui Lou in order to accompany her. Although I went in and left immediately, it was still not right. You should punish me, Your Majesty. I can be grounded, or I can copy the scriptures.”

As Wen Qi Qi finished her speech with shame, her head hung lower and lower, as if she was really ashamed of herself.

Edited by EllieKit

Wen Qi Qi was listening with great interest.

When she saw him stop, she collected her thoughts and said, “So you went to this so-called election meeting a few days ago, Second Brother?”

Wen Ting Xuan nodded, “Exactly.”

“You also won the top spot by accident and became their new head of Chi Yu Lou?” Wen Qi Qi added.

Wen Ting Xuan frowned and corrected her, “Not accidentally, I defeated them all after a fierce competition.”

“You’re great, Second Brother!” Wen Qi Qi gave a timely thumbs up and complimented him from the bottom of her heart.

Wen Ting Xuan smiled, a little giddy, “That’s right, take a look at who your second brother is.”

The famous fop in the capital, isn’t it? Just one compliment, and you’ve forgotten your own reputation as a fop?

Wen Qi Qi spat in her heart.

“Second Brother, now that you have become the head of Chi Yu Lou, what are your next steps? Do you have any plans?”

Wen Ting Xuan put Chi Yu token into her hand again, “This token can command the whole Chi Yu Lou. After I became the owner, there are naturally some people who do not obey me, but in the past two days, I have beaten up all those who do not obey me in the organization, now they are submissive and do not dare to disagree.

I will give you a token, from now on you will go to Chi Yu Lou to arrange affairs for me. Don’t worry, the Chi Yu Lou only recognizes the token. Since the Chi Yu Lou command token is in your hands, they will listen to your orders.”

Wen Qi Qi was surprised, “What about yourself?”

Wen Ting Xuan said, “If it were the old Chi Yu Lou, it would indeed be enough to protect our family, but the current Chi Yu Lou has long been suffering from internal strife. It is not an easy task to reorganize, let alone restore them to their former glory, and it will not be possible to do so overnight.

So we, brother and sister, have to act separately. In the future, you will take over the Chi Yu Lou, and I will go to serve the court.”

When he said these words, Wen Ting Xuan changed his appearance from his usual one of no shame, and his eyes were filled with the will to win.

Wen Qi Qi was surprised, and only after a long time did she say, “Serve the court? How do you want to do that?”

“In a few days, the court will select military officials.” Wen Ting Xuan said. When he thought of something, he resumed his usual smiling look and said, “My brother-in-law, Wang Ye, is the examiner of this martial arts examination.”

When Wen Qi Qi heard this, she already understood all his plans.

It turns out that he really wasn’t playing these days. Not only had he gathered the Chi Yu Lou into his hands, he was also planning to take the martial arts test in a few days, planning to go the route of a martial general.

I have to say, Wen Ting Xuan really thought it through.

A single Chi Yu Lou is not enough to protect their family, so he wants to join the court and take the path of a military genera. When the time comes, if he can hold the military power and rank as one of the generals, then the family will have double protection.

“Second Brother, it’s really hard for you.” Wen Qi Qi said sincerely.

“What are you doing?” Wen Ting Xuan was a little uncomfortable and straightened his lapel, then stood up, “Well, I have told you all the plans. In a couple of days, I will personally take you to Chi Yu Lou, and it is up to you whether you can grow Chi Yu Lou in the future. I’m going to be a martial arts general anyway, so I don’t have that much time to worry about Chi Yu Lou.”

Wen Qi Qi nodded and assured him, “Second brother don’t worry. Your little sister is confident in growing Chi Yu Lou.”

He has always had a calm mind, but was inappropriately reminded of the girl’s fragrant, soft and delicate body up to the touch ……

The eyes that were normally clear and bright, for the first time, became dark and deep.

Gu Lin Chao lost sleep.

The next day.

The next day, after a good night’s sleep, Wen Qi Qi was refreshed and in good spirits.

She got up earlier today, found a suitable stick, and practiced a set of stick techniques in the courtyard. Then she took a bucket of water and went to water the flower trees under the corner.

After that, she went to have her breakfast.

But not long after, Wen Ting Xuan came.

“Second Brother, where have you been these few days? I didn’t see you when I went back the day before yesterday.” Wen Qi Qi frowned and said, “Have you been doing all the things I told you earlier?”

Wen Ting Xuan shook his legs and said, “Guess?”

Wen Qi Qi gave him a blank look, and was not happy, “How can I guess? Eh, did you listen to what I said or not?”

Wen Ting Xuan’s legs stopped shaking, and he said with displeasure, “I’ve been running around like a cow all this time. I’m so tired that I can’t even get a sip of hot tea, and I have to come back here to get a scowl from you, you heartless brat!”

When Wen Qi Qi listened to this, she quickly poured him a cup of hot tea and gave him a massage on the shoulder, “I was just too anxious, Second Brother is generous. Don’t take it personally.”

Wen Ting Xuan picked up the cup of tea and took a sip, giving her a sidelong glance, “That’s more like it.”

“So what’s the situation now. What have you been up to these past few days, Second Brother?” Wen Qi Qi asked as she continued massaging his shoulders.

Wen Ting Xuan put down his cup of tea and suddenly took out a pure gold token from his pocket and handed it to her, “Look, this is the result of my work in the past few days.”

Wen Qi Qi reached out to take it and saw a pure gold token with an engraved character on it.

“What’s this?” She put the token in her hand, weighed it, found it quite weighty, and her eyes lit up, “This shouldn’t be made of pure gold, right? It should be worth a lot of money, right?”

The corners of Wen Ting Xuan’s mouth twitched and he snatched the token back, “Are you so blinded by money that you can only see the gold and not this big token?”

Wen Qi Qi said resentfully, “Naturally I can see it, but the question is, what does this token mean?”

Wen Ting Xuan sighed, “That’s right, you are a woman in the inner residence. You only have a mu of land in front of you, how can you understand the outside world?”

Wen Qi Qi rolled her eyes, but she was good-natured enough not to argue with him. No matter, a woman in a inner residence is a woman in a diner house.

“Please explain to me, Second Brother.” She looked at him sincerely, with a look of thirst for knowledge.

Wen Ting Xuan then said: “You may not have heard of Chi Yu Lou, but many years ago, this Chi Yu Lou is an assassin organization that the world is afraid of. They acted ruthlessly, but they have never failed to complete any mission they took. They even have a scary nickname of locusts in the jianghu. There is no grass remaining when the locusts are in the area, so the world is very afraid. (TN: It’s a play on words cause when assassins do things they exterminate everything down to the grass roots the way locust eat everything)

But in recent years, their internal struggles have been very fierce, and no one will obey anyone. Their power has been used against their own people. No matter how big the organization is, it cannot withstand being consumed like this. The Chi Yu Lou soon fell from grace, and is no longer as brilliant as it used to be. To this day, it is already like a scattered sand.

They also realized the seriousness of the matter so they put aside their preconceptions about each other and desperately wanted to put forward a leader who could lead them back to the peak of the past. Therefore, two days ago, they held an election meeting in Huozhou, inviting the world’s most capable people to participate, and the winner will become the new owner of Chi Yu Lou.

Chi Yu Lou belongs to the dark side of society so decent people don’t care to be associated with them. But there are also many forces that want to take them for their own use, so the election two days ago, it can be said to be a gathering of talented people, lively and extraordinary.”

“Sister, thank you for today. I’ll treat you to dinner another day, I’m going back.” Wen Qi Qi quickly crawled out from under the table and ran towards the window with her feet.

Fortunately, there were enough people in the room just now, and enough chaos. Atuo Jiang Hua had good acting skills, otherwise she really suspected that she would have been dismembered by Gu Lin Chao on the spot.

Judging from the force with which he kicked the door when he came in, it was clear that he must have been furious.

Who would put up with their own wife, behind their backs, having fun outside?

When the window opened and a cool breeze blew in, the little bit of drunkenness that Wen Qi Qi still had was completely gone.

She raised her hand and patted her face, what the hell was she doing?

Did she forget how the original owner died?

She was so quick to forget, her brain was so dumb that she dared to run to this place. Is her life too long?

She did not dare to hesitate, and quickly climbed the window and jumped down.

She had to rush back to the royal residence before Gu Lin Chao.

Even though she took a shortcut, she was still one step behind Gu Ling Chao.

When she arrived at the royal residence, Gu Lin Chao arrived one step ahead of her.

Looking at Gu Lin Chao who was about to enter the mansion, she hastily pulled down her hair and lapel, and then walked over crying and wailing.

“Wang Ye ……”

Hearing the voice, Gu Lin Chao turned around haughtily.

When he saw clearly that the person who came over was Wen Qi Qi, his face was cloudy and he said through clenched teeth, “Wen Qi Qi!”

But no sooner had he said this did Wen Qi Qi suddenly rush over and jump into his arms.

“It was so scary just now, the road was so dark, and there were bad people trying to bully me, I was scared to death, I thought I wouldn’t be able to come back alive to see Wang Ye ……” Wen Qi Qi buried her face into the man’s chest and wailed.

When the girl’s soft and delicate body suddenly snuggled into his arms, Gu Lin Chao’s body suddenly stiffened, and his whole body would not move.

Wang Hou De opened his mouth wide in surprise.

Si Yi then turned his back.

When she noticed the man’s tense body, Wen Qi Qi’s eyes rolled and she simply tightly circled his waist.

Gu Lin Chao’s smooth forehead was seeping with sweat and he had never been so helpless.

After an unknown period of time, he seemed to react, pushed her away and rushed into the royal residence with quick steps.

Wen Qi Qi hurriedly stretched out her hand, “Wang Ye wait for me ……”

However, when Gu Lin Chao heard her voice, he walked even faster, and in the blink of an eye, he could not be seen.

Wen Qi Qi retracted her hand, and her heart felt a little smug.

Gu Lin Chao must have been shy after she had hugged him like that.

Once he was shy, he forgot to hold her accountable.

Her crisis was over.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, turned back, saw Si Yi and Wang Hou De who were standing there. She walked over and gave them a firm tap on the shoulder.

“You guys still don’t go in?”

Si Yi looked back at her, did not say anything. He went in sullenly.

Wang Hou De, on the other hand, looked back and said with a smile, “Your Highness, Wang Ye has been scared away by you.”

Wen Qi Qi’s face was stern, “Nonsense, Wang Ye was clearly shy.” She said. She tugged at her clothes and said, “I’m like this, but Wang Ye doesn’t comfort me, alas!” With these words, she went into the house with a despondent face.

Wang Hou De: “……”

After Wen Qi Qi went back to the Shen Xiang courtyard, she took a comfortable bath and then lay down under the blanket to dream about her husband.

But Gu Lin Chao did not have a good time.

Outside the door of his courtyard, he was completely confused by Wen Qi Qi’s sudden hug.

He went straight back to the West Garden and took a cold bath, but it didn’t help much.

It was a fresh fact.

All at once, the people in the building were turning to each other and talking.

These days, there are simply no women who dare to come in here openly like this. It is really too rare.

Therefore, when Gu Lin Chao brought people in, it didn’t take much effort to easily find the elegant room where Wen Qi Qi and Atuo Jiang Hua were.

He didn’t wait for Si Yi to push the door, but kicked it open straight away.

With such force, the door hit the wall with a loud bang.

The lively sound in the room, abruptly stopped, and everyone looked towards the door.

Only to see, in the elegant room, either sitting or standing, seven or eight clean-cut teenagers.

Some of them were playing the zither, some were playing the flute, some were drinking ……

But all of them are around a woman in the center.

Because the woman was surrounded in the middle, Gu Lin Chao this angle can not see that person’s face, but all signs indicate that Wen Qi Qi did enter this room.

Looking at the scene in front of him, and thinking about the woman being surrounded by so many men, for some reason, a feeling of anger arose in his heart. That anger was like a monster that kept tearing at him, making his pride and sanity on the verge of collapse.

He walked in with a gloomy face.

The closer he got to the woman, the more ugly his face became.

Wen Qi Qi has a lot of nerve ……

She dared to misbehave and come here for pleasure behind his back ……

What should he do with her?

While his mind was agitated and frightened, the woman in the middle, suddenly raised her head.

His footsteps were stopped and a trace of shock flashed across his handsome eyes.

But after he reacted, there was a hint of joy that filled his chest and soul.

It was not Wen Qi Qi ……

He didn’t even notice it himself, but at this moment, he was glad that the person in front of him was not Wen Qi Qi.

He was just about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard the woman say in surprise, “Huh, how come the Regent Prince has also come to this place?”

“Princess Atuo?” Wang Hou De shouted out in surprise.

Only then did Gu Lin Chao remember that the woman in front of him was none other than Atuo Jiang Hua.

For a moment, his complexion once again turned gloomy.

“Why are you alone? Where is Wen Qi Qi?” His voice seemed to burst out from his teeth. Wen Qi Qi was with Atuo Jiang Hua, and since Atuo Jiang Hua was here, then Wen Qi Qi must also be here.

After saying that, his ice-cold eyes searched the room quickly and sharply.

But the room was only so big. He surveyed it all at once, and there was no sign of Wen Qi Qi.

“Wen Qi Qi ah?” Atuo Jiang Hua rubbed her forehead and said, “She’s not with me.”

“Really?” Gu Lin Chao’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

The hands under the table of Atuo Jiang Hua fiercely pinch her thighs. She suppressed the fear and pressure and said with a smile: “She sent me in, then went back ah. She said she is a family woman. There is a good husband at home, she can not do anything wrong to you.She did not even sit down and left, but she was a little drunk, on the way back, I do not know whether she will again meet some rascals ……”

When Gu Lin Chao heard that, the corners of his mouth pursed. He was going to walk towards the window, when his feet turned abruptly, and without saying a word, he turned around and went out.

Si Yi and Wang Hou De hurried to follow.

When Atuo Jiang Hua saw this, her whole body felt like all her strength had been taken away. She almost had to ascend to the sky in place.

Oh my God, Gu Lin Chao is really scary.

At this time, there is a sound from under the table. She hurriedly moved back, and immediately after, a beautiful face was revealed.
