Quick Wear: The Socially Annoying Host Quit

Chi Yusi pursed her lips slightly, reached out to smooth the hair beside her ears, and when the words came to her lips, she felt there was no need to ask.

"Xiaoguai, what did you want to say just now?"

There was a heat in her ears, and Gu Yuan's cold and low voice rang out. Chi Yusi tilted her head uncomfortably.

How did Gu Yuan suddenly get so close? His breath was hitting her ears.

"Ahem - you two, why don't you two go back to the house and talk first?"

"Sister Yusi, what do you want to say?" Yun Qingqing pulled the words back.

"If I wasn't so powerful that day, you would have died with me in the Prime Minister's Mansion. Will you regret it?" Chi Yusi looked at them seriously.

Gu Yuan held Chi Yusi's hand tightly and said, "No." His voice was soft, but it seemed to carry a firm strength.

When they first met in the kidnappers' den, she walked towards him twice, the first time asking him his name and the second time asking him to follow her.

At that time, his life was given by her, and she could take it back at any time.

"I don't regret it." Yu Siyuan also quickly expressed his opinion.

"I don't regret it either! Sister Yusi saved our lives, and we have been classmates and friends for so many years. It is my duty to help her."

Chi Yusi was stunned for a moment, looking at them, a smile appeared in the corners of his eyes and brows.

Her every frown and smile is pure and flawless, yet full of charm, making people want to get closer.

……

Two days later, Yahui Building——

"I'm going to pay my respects to the prince."

"Mr. Prime Minister, there is no need to be polite. Please sit down and talk."

"I have already reported in detail what happened in the palace in my letter. I wonder what your Highness plans to do?"

Chi Xuyang's expression was calm, but there was a hint of scrutiny in his eyes.

"Mr. Prime Minister, I have ascended the throne since I was a king, and the country and the people are the most important." Without the emperor, the country will be in chaos, and the people will be in chaos.

What the emperor's brother did was truly chilling. He listened to the words of the concubines in the harem and assassinated the family of a minister in the court.

"This prince wants to win over all the ministers, and I hope the prime minister can lend me a helping hand." Prince Xian looked at Chi Xuyang solemnly.

Chi Xuyang raised his eyebrows, "If the prince needs anything, I will do my best."

Prince Xian nodded slightly to show his satisfaction.

He was well aware of Chi Xuyang's power and influence in the court. With his support, his path to the throne would be much smoother.

"However, Your Majesty, please do not forget what you promised me." Chi Xuyang took the opportunity to remind him.

"I will certainly not break my promise." Prince Xian promised.

After leaving Yahui Tower, Prince Xian turned and walked into an alley.

His personal guard followed behind him respectfully and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, do you really want to trust Chi Xuyang? He is an old fox."

The corner of Prince Xian's mouth slightly raised, "Of course I know, but he also has his own principles and will not pose a threat to me."

Chi Xuyang may not repay a favor, but he will definitely take revenge. As long as you don't touch his sore spot, everything will be fine.

"Deal with the Eighth Prince in secret."

"Yes." After receiving the order, the guard left quietly.

There was a gleam of ruthlessness in Prince Xian's eyes. The Eighth Prince was the biggest obstacle to his ascension to the throne and he had to be eliminated.

A few days later, the eighth prince drowned, causing much discussion in the court, and the emperor, who was already weak, collapsed again.

It was a dark and windy night. Chi Yusi clung to the top of the wall of the palace and climbed up when the guards turned their backs.

She was lying on the bed, but when she heard that the emperor seemed to be dying, she felt something was wrong.

Then he stood up and slipped out when no one was noticing.

"Your Majesty, it's time to drink medicine."

"Imperial Physician, do you have a prescription to save me? I will reward you handsomely." The emperor looked at the imperial physician with expectation.

The imperial physician knelt down nervously, "Your Majesty..."

"I am incompetent, and now I can only try my best to prolong your majesty's life." He kowtowed frequently.

Chi Yusi climbed through the window and hid behind a pillar. Looking at the emperor's pale face, she felt somewhat happy.

"Father, your son is here to see you." The eighth prince walked in, knelt on the ground, and cried loudly.

The emperor looked at him weakly, with a hint of resentment in his eyes, "My son, I know my time is running out, so I will hand over this kingdom to you from now on."

If An Yao hadn't failed, how could he have done this? But he was not willing to give up the throne to others.

"Father! I will not let you down!" The Eighth Prince nodded heavily.

How could he not feel his father's dissatisfaction with him? However, when he died, the throne would be his.

It's okay to be patient.

Chi Yusi frowned. Wasn't the Eighth Prince dead? How did he come back to life? Didn't Prince Xian do anything? Or was it a case of a cat replacing a prince?

"I will issue an edict in two days, and the prince will succeed to the throne."

"Thank you for your grace, father. I will not disturb your rest any more. I will take my leave."

Chi Yu thought about beating the emperor and held back.

If the emperor died now, and the eighth prince reappeared and said that the emperor faked his death to protect him, then he would be pushed onto the throne with full legitimacy.

Then things will become complicated again.

She was very annoyed. How did the King of Xian do his job? ! !

***

Taking advantage of the night, she quietly left the palace again. The moment she jumped off the wall, she ran into Gu Yuan's arms.

Chi Yusi's body froze for a moment, and she let Gu Yuan carry her away.

Far away from the palace, in a corner, Gu Yuan put Chi Yusi down.

A trace of guilt flashed across her clear and lively eyes, "Ah, A Yuan, I..."

Before she could finish her argument, she was unexpectedly pulled into Gu Yuan's arms. Before she could react, Gu Yuan tightly covered her lips.

Her mind was completely blank, and she felt hot all over. His kiss made her breathing quicken and her head gradually feel dizzy.

She subconsciously pushed Gu Yuan, but his hand pressed her hands over her head and against the wall.

"Good girl..." Gu Yuan murmured while biting her lips lightly.

After a long time, Gu Yuan let her go when she was almost out of breath.

There seemed to be some uneasiness between his brows, as if he was weighing his words.

Chi Yusi's eyes were a little blurry at this time, covered with a layer of mist. There was confusion in her eyes, and her back was leaning against the wall with a limp body.

Gu Yuan leaned forward slightly and looked into her eyes, his deep pupils focused and affectionate.

“…There are trees on the mountain and branches on the trees. My heart is pleased with you but you don’t know it.” (Quoted from “Song of the Yue People” by an anonymous author from the Pre-Qin period).

There was no response from Chi Yusi for a long time. Gu Yuan used so much force on the five fingers he folded at his sides that the knuckles turned white, and he looked lost.

"...My dear, I am sorry for being rude." He called out in a trembling voice, and his eyes immediately turned red.

The crystal clear tears slid down her cheeks and dripped onto the ground, forming a small pool of water.

Chi Yusi sighed inwardly, what was going on?

She raised her fingers and stroked Gu Yuan's cheek, her fingertips slightly warm as she wiped away his tears.

Gu Yuan was stunned, the mist in his eyes gradually dissipated, and he grasped Chi Yusi's hand blankly.

"Be good——" baby.
