"What... what's wrong?"

Gu Ning's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat. Being stared at by such eyes, she was a little flustered, and she had already begun to secretly think about whether there was anything out of the ordinary about what she had done during this time.

"It's nothing."

Xie Yan opened his mouth, stretched out his hand naturally, and patted Gu Ning's head.

However, no matter what he did with his hands, the words were always on top of Gu Ning's head, and his movements couldn't shake it.

Xie Yan has been wandering since he was a child, and never believed in the existence of ghosts and gods in this world.

If there were ghosts and gods, how could the emperor sit on the throne for more than ten years?

But now the thing that appeared above Gu Ning's head, the weirdness is beyond his imagination, what is it?

Gu Ning noticed that Xie Yan's eyes kept drifting to the top of her head, she subconsciously reached out to touch it, but Xie Yan pinched her wrist.

Such a weird thing is full of danger, how can he let Gu Ning touch it?

Gu Ning's heart is beating, today's thank you banquet, no matter how you look at it, something is wrong.

She clasped Xie Yan's wrist backwards, leaned forward, and was very close to Xie Yan, so close that their breaths intertwined.

"Why do I feel that you are a little absent-minded?" Gu Ning's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and she looked at Xie Yan carefully, but she couldn't see any information from Xie Yan's face.

Gu Ning frowned, and pointed his fingers all the way up, gently stroking Xie Yan's thin lips.

"You have something to hide from me." Gu Ning said dissatisfied.

She felt a little uneasy, but at this moment, she could only cover up her uneasiness with dissatisfaction.

The look in Xie Yan's eyes really made her flustered.

"I was just thinking..." Xie Yan looked at Gu Ning, his phoenix eyes were deep, without revealing emotions, but it could make Gu Ning feel his strong emotions at the moment, "Ning'er, do you believe in ghosts and gods?"

In just a short moment, Xie Yan thought a lot, and the past that he had ignored all came to mind at this moment.

At that time, the emperor was still searching for the whereabouts of the prince's orphan. In order to conceal his identity, he was sent to Gu Ning's side. Gu Ning was moody and vented all the grievances he received at Chu Yunyi on them guards. He was often beaten and scolded, but Gu Ning, who suddenly broke into the firewood room at Mrs. Gu's birthday party...

She said she liked him.

He naturally didn't believe it, he only thought that Gu Ning was playing with him again, but since then, Gu Ning has changed.

Xie Yan looked up, patiently waiting for Gu Ning's answer.

Gu Ning's beautiful eyes widened, his mind was spinning crazily, what ghost?Why did Xie Yan suddenly ask this question?

However, when she was silent, Xie Yan's eyes still fell on her, as if Gu Ning did not answer, he would not give up.

Gu Ning pondered for a while, and couldn't help poking the system: "Are we ghosts and gods?"

The system remains silent.

If the system has an entity, Gu Ning can't wait to grab its neck and ask where it has been upgraded!Why is it still the same as before, like a mouse seeing a cat, dare not appear in front of Xie Yan at all!

"Maybe there is." Gu Ning blinked and looked at Xie Yan innocently, "It's just that I haven't seen it before, I saw it in the scriptures, and the storytellers in the teahouse and wine shop, they also said There are many stories, and I don’t know if it’s true or not.”

Xie Yan looked at Gu Ning for a long time, and with a force in his hand, Gu Ning fell into his arms.

"what are you doing……"

Before the words came out, Gu Ning's mouth was already blocked.

Xie Yan's kiss was fierce, like a siege, forcing Gu Ning to retreat again and again, and was pressed on the bed by Xie Yan.

The man's body was surprisingly heavy, Gu Ning put one hand on his chest, trying hard to get away from Xie Yan's offensive, today's Xie Yan was very strange, which made her feel uneasy.

"Ning'er." Xie Yan clasped her waist with a big hand, forcing her to get close to him. There was only a thin layer of spring shirt between the two of them. Gu Ning could clearly feel Xie Yan's body. Come scalding temperature.

Her chin was lifted by Xie Yan's other hand, and she was forced to raise her head to meet Xie Yan's eyes.

Xie Yan watched the number above Gu Ning's head change again, this time it became "22".

His eyes are as dark as ink, this number seems to be related to him?

Gu Ning only felt that her soul was about to be sucked in by the dark and deep pair, and her anxiety reached its peak.

At this moment, she heard Xie Yan whisper: "Don't leave me."

Whoever you are, don't leave me.

……

When I woke up again, it was already the next morning.

The windows were wide open, and the air in the room had almost dissipated.

Gu Ning opened his eyes and looked at the bed curtain above his head, and stopped beside her: "Are you awake?"

Xie Yan's deep and magnetic voice made it hard for Gu Ning to think of what happened last night. She blushed and immediately rolled up the quilt and shrunk to the inside.

"woke up."

Gu Ning rubbed his sore waist, only revealing a pair of wet eyes: "Why don't you go to court?"

"The emperor's health is unwell, and the court meeting has been cancelled."

Seeing her like this, Xie Yan thought she was cute, but when he thought of Pei Chongfang's resentful eyes outside the door, he paused and reminded:

"Chunyu is already waiting outside."

At this time, Gu Ning suddenly realized that she had stayed at Xie Yan's place for a day and a night, she had a little expectation, and asked cautiously: "Grandmother and the others..."

"Second Young Master Pei came to look for you today." Xie Yan said calmly, without fear at all, "I said you went to Xinyue County Lord's Mansion."

Hearing this, Gu Ning breathed a sigh of relief.

She immediately got up from the bed, but the weakness in her waist and legs made her gasp subconsciously.

The next moment, Xie Yan rushed to her side, gently and accurately pressing every sore spot on her body.

Gu Ning leaned comfortably in his arms, Xie Yan watched helplessly as the number on her head increased again.

This time it was "forty".

After a night of absurdity, Xie Yan has already noticed that the changes in the string of numbers above Gu Ning's head are related to him. It seems that if it is close to him, it will increase.

It's just that almost all of his mind was attracted by Gu Ning this night, he only had time to pay attention to this change, and he didn't know anything else.

Outside the door, Yue Rong sounded a little nervous: "Master, you just took office today, I'm afraid you still have to go to the Imperial Army for a while."

While he was talking, he was worried, if he hadn't just lost to the big brother with a punch, how could he have come down to wake up the master?

Yue Rong felt grief and indignation, but he didn't dare to leave.

Soon, there was a scolding sound in the room, and his wise and mighty master was speaking in a flattering voice, and he sighed heavily in his heart.

Beauty misleads people!

However, when the door was opened, Yue Rong quickly restrained his expression again: "Master, the horse is ready."

Xie Yan nodded slightly, there was no trace of warmth on his cold and handsome face.

Seeing the master and servant leaving, Chunyu sighed and called softly: "Master, if you don't go to Xinyue County Lord, I'm afraid you will reveal your secrets."

The next moment, Gu Ning walked out from inside in a hurry.

Seeing that the dress on Gu Ning had been replaced with a new one, although Chunyu had expected it, her heart sank at this moment.

The carriage was already waiting at the side door, and Chunyu helped Gu Ning up, feeling her slower movements than before, and the sadness in her eyes almost turned into reality.

"Master, you and Mr. Xie..."

"I was discussing business with him last night, and I forgot the time for a while, so I slept there." Gu Ning didn't blush and his heart beat, and he just pulled out a reason.

Even though Chunyu knew that Gu Ning was lying, she couldn't expose it.

After a while, she whispered: "You and Master Xie are not yet married, so you must not stay overnight, otherwise... those gossips will make trouble again."

Hearing Chunyu's euphemistic reminder, Gu Ning rubbed her head and nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, I will definitely abide by the rules."

Seeing that Gu Ning's eyes were bright, Chunyu swallowed everything she wanted to say no matter how much she wanted to say.

Having been by Gu Ning's side for so long, she knows that Gu Ning knows what to do and what not to do. All she can do is remind a few words.

When he came to the county lord's mansion, Chu Shiling was still awake.

Seeing Gu Ning, she was surprised and said, "Why are you here?"

Before Gu Ning could answer, her eyeballs were already rolling: "Did you quarrel with Xie Yan? So you came to me to complain?"

"What are you thinking about?" Gu Ning snorted softly and rolled his eyes under Chu Shiling's gaze.

Chu Shiling pouted, but Gu Ning's next words almost made her eyes pop out.

"If grandma and the others ask about my whereabouts yesterday, you can just say that you have just returned home, and I have found you on the back. We talked at night by candlelight and stayed up all night."

Chu Shiling opened her mouth wide, pointed at Gu Ning, her fingers trembling: "You, you... where did you fool around last night?"

"No!" She slapped her head and said sternly, "With how much Mr. Xie attaches to you, you have no chance of fooling around. I'm afraid Mr. Xie will arrest you before you reach the Nanfeng Hall!"

Gu Ning's eyes were not friendly, but Chu Shiling ignored her long ago when she was excited, and speculated to herself: "So, you stayed with Mr. Xie last night."

"Lonely man and widow, and they have affection for each other..." Seeing the tiredness in Gu Ning's eyes, Chu Shiling laughed again, and jokingly said, "It seems that you had a very hard time last night!"

Gu Ning hummed a few sounds with his nose, but he didn't refute, but just reminded: "You must not let your mouth slip, otherwise..."

"I understand!" Chu Shiling responded with a smile, "You have come to find me in person, how can I not cover for you?"

After she said so much, she was no longer sleepy. She lifted the quilt and sat opposite Gu Ning: "Master Xie took good care of you on weekdays, so he must have been very gentle last night, right? You..."

All tenderness is superficial, she said no more, but he pretended not to hear, after one night, her waist almost broke!

"Stop!" As soon as Gu Ning's thoughts were affected by Chu Shiling, she subconsciously thought of the embarrassment of last night, and she immediately threw these colorful pictures out of her mind.

"I came to you today. Apart from this matter, there is another very important matter that needs your help."

Although Chu Shiling has a simple personality, she is a solid social expert. In addition to her special status, she knows a lot of inside information from the upper echelon. Maybe I can start with her...

Gu Ning's eyes became very attractive at this moment, Chu Shiling's heart trembled: "What's the matter?"

"I heard that there is an aide named Zhuang next to the prince, who knows things like a god. Many achievements made by the prince before have been driven by him, isn't it?"

Chu Shiling nodded blankly: "Isn't this something everyone knows? The emperor still wanted to call this Mr. Zhuang into the palace!"

As he said that, Chu Shiling became alert again, and reminded: "But his name is all false! I heard people say that after the emperor summoned him, he asked several questions, but he couldn't answer them. The emperor concluded that he was a Those who are trying to catch fame and fame, but the prince is soft-hearted, so he is still allowed to stay."

"The prince is not a soft-hearted person." Gu Ning sneered, "If Mr. Zhuang is really useless, why would he keep him? It must be that Mr. Zhuang deliberately pretended to be empty-headed in order not to enter the palace. His appearance made the emperor mistakenly think that he is someone who is trying to catch fame."

Chu Shiling pondered for a while, then asked: "You want to win him over? He is loyal to the prince, so he is not so easy to win over."

"No." Gu Ning shook his head, "I just want to know this Mr. Zhuang...will he use poison?"

"He's just a literati with no strength to restrain a chicken. I heard that he has to be supported when he goes out. How can he be so capable of poisoning!" Chu Shiling immediately shook his head.
