Rebirth: The Two-Faced Cook Meets the Cold-Faced King Qin

Su Qianqian slowly woke up in the soft light of morning light. Her consciousness seemed to gradually emerge from the deep sea. Fragments of last night's memories flickered in her mind, yet they were blurry and unclear.

She rubbed her eyes, trying to piece together the chaotic images into a complete memory☆

She turned her head to look at her side, Ye Hanxing was still there, she thought: "Why is it that every time I feel like dying, I see you the next day?" Su Qianqian looked at Ye Hanxing carefully, but his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, so cold that people dared not approach him☆

Ye Hanxing slowly opened his eyes. He glanced at Su Qianqian. Su Qianqian suddenly felt that his eyes were deep and cold, as if they contained endless cold ice, which made people shudder☆

Su Qianqian opened her mouth, wanting to ask what happened last night and why she became like that☆

But when the words came to his lips, he was shocked by Ye Hanxing's cold aura and didn't know how to start for a moment☆

She swallowed, mustered up the courage to ask softly: "Ye Hanxing, last night I..." However, before she finished her words, she was interrupted by Ye Hanxing's cold eyes☆

He glanced at her coldly, with a mocking arc on his lips, as if to say, "How dare you ask?" At that moment, Su Qianqian's courage instantly collapsed. She lowered her head, not daring to look Ye Hanxing in the eye again☆

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn and depressing. Su Qianqian could clearly feel the cold breath emanating from Ye Hanxing. It was a chill that came from the bones, making it impossible for people to get close or touch him☆

She pursed her lips tightly, her heart full of doubts and uneasiness. She walked to Ye Hanxing☆

She whispered, "Ye Hanxing, I...I'm leaving!" Su Qianqian grabbed her sleeves tightly and bit her lips and said, "Thank you for every time..."☆

Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Ye Hanxing: "Goodbye, I won't see you off! Also, if you don't want to trouble me every time, please take care of your own heart, don't touch her easily, don't be sad, don't be upset, and don't be emotional!" Ye Hanxing turned and left☆

Su Qianqian left the Tingxi Building, with an inexplicable impulse in her heart. She looked up into the distance, her eyes firm and resolute, as if she had already made some important decision☆

She walked lightly through the busy streets and headed straight for Tianxiang Tower. She suddenly wanted to see Gu Yuan and wanted to know what he thought of her marriage.

Su Qianqian's steps were hurried but graceful. She knew that Gu Yuan must have her in his heart, and it must be because of Feng Lingxue's matter that he had been holding it in. She must know Gu Yuan's true thoughts today☆

Finally, the towering figure of Tianxialou appeared in her sight. She adjusted her state and walked in.

The building is bustling with noises, creating a vivid picture☆

Su Qianqian looked around, searching for that familiar figure in the crowd☆

When she finally saw Gu Yuan, her heartbeat involuntarily quickened a few points☆

Gu Yuan stood there, chatting with Gu Peng about something, with a faint smile on his face. His eyes were deep and bright, as if he could see through everything☆

Su Qianqian hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up the courage to walk over. She wanted to know what Gu Yuan thought of her marriage☆

Su Qianqian walked straight towards Gu Yuan, not caring that Gu Peng was still beside her, and asked directly: "Gu Yuan, what do you think of my marriage?" Her voice was soft but firm, and she looked straight into his eyes, trying to find a trace of love for herself from them"☆

Gu Yuan was slightly stunned. He looked at Su Qianqian, and a deep struggle flashed in his eyes. He understood Su Qianqian's feelings for him, and also knew the love in his heart☆

However, the pain of the past and the guilt towards his second brother were like an invisible shackle that bound his heart and made him dare not easily express his love☆

Gu Yuan was silent for a while, trying to sort out his thoughts☆

"Qianqian, I know what you mean, but I have my concerns and difficulties." Gu Yuan's voice was low and helpless, revealing his inner entanglement and pain.

Su Qianqian listened to his words, and a sense of inexplicable disappointment and anger surged in her heart: "In your heart, you really only love me..." Su Qianqian lowered her head with a little cry: "Have you never liked me from the beginning to the end? Have you never been moved by me?" She asked while clenching her fists tightly, even lowering her head, not daring to look directly into Gu Yuan's eyes. ☆

Su Qianqian wanted to hear Gu Yuan's love for her and longed for his promise and courage. However, Gu Yuan's avoidance and hesitation made her feel deeply hurt☆

Su Qianqian has been waiting for Gu Yuan's final answer, but Gu Yuan stopped talking. Su Qianqian kept her head down, her shoulders trembling slightly. "Ba-tap, ba-tap," crystal tears slid down her fair cheeks. ☆

Gu Yuan looked at Su Qianqian, and his heart felt like it was hit by a heavy hammer. It was because of him, because of him, that Su Qianqian cried for the first time. Gu Yuan's heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe. ☆

He subconsciously wanted to take a step towards her, but his feet seemed to be restrained by invisible chains, and he took a half-step and then took it back heavily☆

He stretched out his hand, as if he could touch Su Qianqian's hair through the air and comfort her wounded heart, but that hand also froze in mid-air, as if it was frozen in time☆

In his eyes, Su Qianqian was so fragile and helpless now. Every tear seemed to be accusing him of being ruthless. But how could he face it? How could he explain it? He was afraid that his approach would only bring her greater harm☆

Gu Yuan stood there, in a dilemma! In the end, he chose to remain silent, chose to watch her from afar, and let his heart sink with her tears☆

Su Qianqian tried to calm herself down. She knew that Gu Yuan's silence and hesitation had given her a clear answer. She didn't say another word to Gu Yuan, nor did she expect his response. Su Qianqian turned and left, leaving Gu Yuan standing there alone☆

In the dark and deep palace of Concubine Yao, the atmosphere was extremely strange. Biyu knelt in front of Concubine Yao, and she felt a chill running down from the top of her head. Concubine Yao's eyes were like a sharp blade, as if to pierce through her☆

Yaopin sat on the couch, her fingers gently stroking the slender jade hairpin, a sickly smile on her lips. She suddenly raised her head and shot a wolf-like gaze at Biyu: "Biyu, how is the matter going?"☆

Biyu shuddered, her voice trembling slightly: "My Lady, everything is going as planned."☆

Yaopin's eyes became more and more crazy. She stood up suddenly, holding the jade hairpin tightly in her hand, as if she would stab Biyu at any time: "Last time you let me down! I had to spend a lot of effort to rescue you, but the poison was not fatal! I almost died because of your stupidity! This time, if you make a mistake again, I will not only kill you, but also bury your sister with you!"☆

Cold sweat broke out on Biyu's forehead. She lowered her head deeply, and her voice revealed despair: "Your Majesty, please calm down. Biyu will do her best this time and will never let you down."☆

Concubine Yao laughed wildly, and the laughter echoed in the empty palace, making people's hair stand on end. "Good! Very good! I like your desperate look! Remember, your life and your sister's life are in my hands. If you dare to neglect it, I will make you wish you were dead!"☆

As the laughter of Concubine Yao gradually faded away, Biyu dared to raise her head, only to see that Concubine Yao had turned and left, leaving behind only a crazy and resolute back☆

Biyu knew that she was walking on thin ice. If she made a mistake, she would be doomed.

The next morning, the sun had just lit up the city of Dazhou. The number of pedestrians on the streets gradually increased, and the hustle and bustle of the city also rose. However, this peaceful atmosphere was soon broken by a special figure☆

A ragged woman staggered into the city, her steps unsteady, coughing up blood as she walked☆

The bright red blood left shocking marks on her tattered clothes. Her face was frighteningly pale, and it was obvious that she was seriously ill.

The residents of the city were stunned by this scene and stopped to watch☆

Soon, someone recognized that this woman was not from the city, and realized that the situation might be bad, so they immediately sent her to the famous clinic in the city - Tianxialou☆

Doctor Xiao from Tianxialou is a legendary figure with superb medical skills. He quickly diagnosed the woman☆

Looking at the woman's painful expression and the blood she kept coughing up, Doctor Xiao's expression became solemn☆

"This is an epidemic," he said in a deep voice, "We must immediately know where this woman came from so that we can take measures to prevent the spread of the epidemic."☆

Doctor Xiao's words made everyone present feel nervous. Doctor Xiao told Banyue: "Notify the host immediately! Quick!" Doctor Xiao knew that if the disease broke out, the consequences would be disastrous☆

Dusk fell, and the last ray of light in the sky was swallowed up by the night. Gu Yuan and Gu Peng were standing in the building with solemn expressions. They had just heard the news about the epidemic, and their hearts were filled with worry.

"Banyue, go and ask Dr. Xiao to come over." Gu Yuan ordered in a deep voice☆

Ban Yue nodded in agreement and turned to leave. After a while, she hurried over with Doctor Xiao☆

Doctor Xiao frowned, a solemn look on his face. "This disease is serious. We must find out its source as soon as possible." He said☆

"Divine Doctor, do you have any clues?" Gu Yuan asked anxiously. He knew that Divine Doctor Xiao was well-informed and might be able to provide some valuable information. ☆

Doctor Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "The symptoms of this woman's disease are very similar to those caused by a poisonous grass I saw in the ruins outside the city. I suspect that the source of this disease may be in that ruin."☆

Gu Yuan and Gu Peng were shocked when they heard this. They knew that the ruins outside the city were in a bad environment with poisonous weeds growing everywhere. If it was really the source of the disease, the consequences would be disastrous☆

Gu Peng sat at the desk, holding a brush, and began to write. The brush danced in his hand like a dragon, and the ink left deep marks on the rice paper☆

He knew the importance of this memorial and had to send it to the palace overnight. He called the puppet, carefully rolled up the memorial, and put it in a specially made brocade box.

Guiying helped Gu Peng put on his cloak and walked out of the study. He rode on a fast horse, whipped the horse, and galloped away in the night☆

As night fell, the palace walls towered. Gu Peng rode his horse through the busy streets and headed straight for the palace.

Arriving at the gate of the palace, Gu Peng dismounted, straightened his robes, and walked to report to the guards. The guards saw that it was Gu Peng, and their faces showed respect, and they quickly reported him☆

A moment later, Gu Peng was led into the depths of the palace. He walked along the long palace corridor. There was silence all around him, only the sound of his footsteps echoing. The dim light of the palace lanterns sprinkled on the ground, guiding him in the direction☆

Finally, Gu Peng arrived at the imperial study and knocked on the door. After a moment, the door opened and a eunuch appeared at the door. Gu Peng handed over the memorial and whispered, "This is an urgent memorial. Please be sure to present it to my father."☆

The eunuch took the memorial, nodded, and signaled Gu Peng to wait for a moment. Gu Peng stood outside the door, feeling uneasy.

After a long time, the eunuch reported quietly, and then pushed open the exquisitely carved agarwood door. Gu Peng stepped into the room, lowered his eyes, and bowed respectfully: "Your son Gu Peng, pays homage to the emperor."☆

The emperor sat behind the imperial desk, his face dignified and his eyes deep. He was holding the memorial presented by Gu Peng in his hand, his brows furrowed, and he was obviously reviewing the contents carefully. The atmosphere in the imperial study seemed a little depressing for a while☆

After a moment, the emperor slowly raised his head and looked at Gu Peng: "Peng'er, did you submit this memorial?"

Gu Peng's heart tightened, and he immediately replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, it is you, your son."☆

The emperor was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. Gu Peng could feel his father's eyes lingering on him. He knew that his father was evaluating his ability and attitude☆

Finally, the emperor spoke: "The epidemic is so serious, why don't you propose a specific solution?"☆

Gu Peng raised his head and met his father's gaze: "Father, I have made a preliminary analysis of the epidemic situation and possible response measures in my memorial☆

However, the epidemic is complex and changeable. I think it is necessary to go to the epidemic area in person and have a deep understanding of the actual situation in order to develop a more effective solution. ”☆

The emperor heard Gu Peng's answer, and a gleam of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He knew that his son not only had the courage to face difficulties, but also had a clear mind and firm determination☆

So, he nodded and said, "Okay, I will send you to the epidemic area, and let Yuan'er go with you. Remember, you must find out the truth about the epidemic and come up with an effective solution as soon as possible."☆

"Your son obeys your order." Gu Peng bowed respectfully again and then left the imperial study.
