A wisp of sandalwood lingered and the sound of the piano was lingering. King Ji, dressed in white clothes, sat quietly in front of the case.

There are some books randomly placed on the desk, and a Qingfeng is placed on the shelf beside the desk.

People, piano, books, and swords are harmonious as one.

This was also the first time that Gu Buquan saw Prince Ji who was not dressed as a scholar. Although he was still wearing ordinary clothes, it made her feel unattainable.

Especially the hint of domineering in his eyebrows made her feel in awe.

"Your Majesty." She called out stupidly, forgetting to salute.

"Uh-huh." Little Eunuch Gao's throat started to smoke again.

King Ji just raised his chin slightly and glanced at little Eunuch Gao, and then he bowed and stepped back knowingly.

"He left?" King Ji asked.

"Yes." Gu Buquan replied in a low voice.

"Well, okay." He nodded.

Gu Buquan muttered to himself, "What do you mean? Are you looking at my joke?"

Thinking about it, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and every frown and movement fell into King Ji's eyes.

"Some things will always come when they are supposed to come, and some people have to go when they should go. What you can do is to face things calmly when they come, and let them go when they go. You must know that if winter does not go, spring will not come, and summer will not come.

If the flowers are not exhausted, the autumn fruits will not bear fruit.”

"It would be a bit lonely if there were no passers-by on a person's road. But passers-by are still passers-by after all, and only people with the same path can walk together."

He looked at her with a smile: "You may not understand what I said for a while, but it doesn't matter. Just stay here and think about it quietly."

In the following time, Gu Buquan sat in the courtyard of King Ji's Hotel, tilting her head to "quietly think about it", but her mind was still full of the liar who owed her a lifetime coffin.

"What kind of passer-by? He is not a passer-by, he is a liar, a liar who wants to put me in a coffin for the rest of his life."

The more I think about it, the angrier I get, the more I think about it, the sadder I get, and the more I think about it, the more furious I get.

Like her, Sun Xiaokong sat beside her in a daze with his head tilted. Ever since his good friend Gouzi died, he looked listless. Now he not only held Gui Xiaobao in his arms, but also held him tightly.

He held the piece of black cloth and sniffed again and again, biting again and again, as if he vowed to find the murderer and tear him into pieces at any time to avenge the dog.

Little Eunuch Gao brought some cakes and fruits, but Sun Xiaokong couldn't muster the energy to eat them.

"Our family would like to congratulate Miss Buquan."

Gu Buquan was confused: "Where does joy come from?"

"Your Majesty said that as long as Miss Quan is willing, the position of Princess Ji belongs to you."

Little Eunuch Gao smiled and said, "Ever since we met Miss Buquan in Qingzhou Mansion, our family has seen at a glance that she has a bright future."

"Princess Ji?" Gu Buquan looked at little Eunuch Gao in surprise.

Hua Yaoling had already told her the benefits of being Princess Ji eighteen thousand times, but little Eunuch Gao's sudden congratulations still caught her by surprise.

She looked at Prince Ji who was standing behind little Eunuch Gao, and wondered, if he really wanted her to be Princess Ji, why didn't he say it himself?

"Even so, there is one thing. Our family must make peace with the girl first..."

Little Eunuch Gao then said, "The girl must obey our family's arrangements and choose a high-ranking official as her adoptive father. From now on, there will no longer be a coffin seller in the world, and Maple Leaf Town will not be mentioned again. The girl is

She is a lady who stays at home, you understand?"

Gu Buquan thought for a while and replied: "I understand. What little Eunuch Gao means is that Princess Ji must come from a famous family to be able to match Prince Ji, right?"

"Exactly." Little Eunuch Gao answered clearly, "Because the prince likes Miss Quan, our family has to rack our brains. This is the best solution our family can think of."

King Ji looked at her and nodded with a smile.

"So," she met Prince Ji's gaze, "does the prince also think that Gu Buquan is not worthy of you?"

"Not to mention whether I want to be Princess Ji, it's just about whether I am worthy or not." Gu Buquan said, "The prince likes Gu Buquan, just because Gu Buquan is Gu Buquan, not because he is suitable to be Princess Ji, right?"

"It is understandable that the prince wants to marry her because he likes Gu Buquan, but if she is no longer Gu Buquan, will the prince still like her? If the prince marries not Gu Buquan but just Princess Ji, there will be many famous families in the dynasty.

If your daughter is a lady and a good match for King Ji, why should King Ji make such a fuss?"

"This..." Little Eunuch Gao was speechless and could only say: "Miss Buquan, think about it carefully and don't let the prince down."

King Ji didn't say a word from beginning to end. At this moment, his smile gradually faded and he turned back to the house, leaving Gu Buquan and Sun Xiaokong to continue to sit in the yard and meditate.

"If we say travelers, who is not someone else's traveler? Who is a fellow-traveler with whom? Who can guarantee that people of the same-travel can stay together until the end?" After "thinking" and "thinking", in the end

Still falling on that liar, the hatred is hard to get rid of.

When a ray of skylight slanted into the yard from outside the alley, she stood up and patted Sun Xiaokong on the head.

"I am a person who holds a grudge, and you are a monkey who holds a grudge. We cannot hide under the eaves of someone else's house and be a coward. We must find him. Come on, I'll look for the liar, and you can look for the enemy."

Gui Xiaobao, who had been sleeping since the beginning of winter, seemed to hear someone scolding him. He stretched out his head to take a look, and then retracted it.

She listened carefully to the movement in the house for a while. Prince Ji and Little Eunuch Gao seemed to be still sleeping, so they led Sun Xiaokong to sneak out and ran away as soon as they came out of the alley.

"My lord, do you want to pursue me?" Little Eunuch Gao asked Prince Ji who was standing by the door.

King Ji's face darkened and he simply said, "Let her go." He turned around and walked in.

It's not that he didn't know that Gu Buquan liked Chen Chuzhi more than King Ji. If he were Chen Chuzhi, he might have a chance to compete fairly with Ling An.

However, there may be countless Chen Chuzhi in this world, but there is only one King Ji.

It is now a troubled time for the imperial court, and his father is in poor health. He must go all out to help his father turn the tide, and he must not allow his son and daughter to grow in love.

"The prince asked you to meditate, and you have been thinking about it all night. That's it? That's it? Humph."

Little Eunuch Gao looked at the deserted alley, shook his head, turned in, and after a moment, turned out again.

"No, we'd better go and have a look."

He walked quickly in the direction of Luoyan Slope.

Little did he know that the direction he was looking for was Taozhuang.

Because she knew this was the direction of Ling'an.

She was a little annoyed that she had been meditating with Prince Ji for too long. During this period, Ling An was alone and helpless. What if his headache broke out again?

His situation was full of dangers, men in black were chasing him all the time, and what frightened her the most was, what if he met his master?

Without her, it would be a life-and-death battle between him and his master.

Thinking of this, she couldn't stop trembling in her heart.

Even if what he said was true and what he liked was Huayingling, she still had to see him and Huayingling get married peacefully and then reach out to them to ask for money for the coffin.

For her, each of them is the most important person in her life.

Taozhuang is located in a mountain valley. It is an isolated place with few contacts with the outside world. The road is very rugged. Ling An did not find it difficult to walk that day, so she expected to reach Taozhuang before dark.

However, what they didn't expect was that the snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the mountain road became more and more difficult to walk. There was even a section of the trail blocked by heavy snow. It was Sun Xiaokong who used all his strength to hang her upside down.

After trekking all the way, we still couldn't reach Taozhuang before dark.

Fortunately, there is a land temple next to the mountain road.

Although it was a temple, it was only a niche half as tall as a person. She had to invite Grandpa Tu Tu and Grandma Tu Tu out, and then she reluctantly spent the night huddled in the niche with Sun Xiaokong.

The cold in the middle of the night became more and more biting and unbearable. At this time, Gu Buquan finally understood what it meant to be hungry and cold. She couldn't help but miss the warm couch prepared for her in King Ji's mansion, as well as the exquisite snacks and the fragrant tea. …

The cold wind was carrying heavy snow and was raging outside the niche, and the wail of the mountain owl was eerie.

But she had no regrets. Since she had chosen to go straight to Ling'an, she was ready to walk a difficult and dangerous road with him.

She licked her lips, hugged the shivering Sun Xiaokong tightly, and kept saying: "Come on, it will be dawn soon."

She murmured to herself, "You can see him at dawn."

Sun Xiaokong did not respond to her squeaking calls as usual, and the hand holding Gui Xiaobao gradually became stiff, and Gui Xiaobao fell to the ground.

"Can't sleep." She tried hard to resist the constant sleepiness, pressed the bag, and then remembered that the jade pendant that she had protected since childhood was no longer there. That day in prison, she originally wanted Master Zhou to give it to Ling An. But I didn't want to forget to get it back after solving the case of the Pei couple.

The heavy snow showed no intention of stopping, and her hands and feet gradually became inoperable and became stiff.

"Master, you idiot."

She murmured and closed her eyes.

In the dream, countless pink petals were flying, and a peach blossom fell on her forehead. Master smiled as warmly as before, and Idiot smiled as stupidly as before.

It was as if the victims in the cell were surrounding them and shouting loudly.

"First worship the heaven and earth, second worship the high hall, husband and wife worship each other..."

…

Guess who is the hero who saves the beauty?
