Feeling Gu Liyou's gaze looking him up and down, Bai Yi swallowed nervously.
It's over, I'm going to be punished again.
He thought about the last time he was punished, he had to carry a bucket for three hours under the scorching sun... Actually, the young master only punished him for two hours. The extra hour was the extra punishment for accidentally spilling the water in the bucket.
.
After the last punishment, he couldn't hold up chopsticks to eat for seven days, couldn't lift his pants when going to the toilet, and couldn't hold up a long sword when practicing martial arts, so he had to be beaten by Mu Chun and run away. Those days were simply unbearable to look back on.
Seeing Gu Liyou's lips move slightly, Bai Yi felt that his arm was useless in advance.
"Can you hear me clearly just now?" Gu Liyou's voice was so calm that it was hard to tell whether he was angry or not.
"I didn't hear it, I didn't hear it. That corner was very leeward and I couldn't hear anything at all." Bai Yi shook his head like a rattle and quickly denied it.
How could he hear such a confidential matter that the princess came to apologize because the prince was jealous, but the prince actually made the princess angry? If he heard it, he would not be silenced.
Bai Yi silently looked around. The moon was dark and the wind was high, and no one was passing by. It was the perfect opportunity to kill people and destroy corpses.
"did not hear it?"
Gu Liyou's tone of voice rose slightly, revealing a sense of calmness and authority. The tenderness in the conversation with Ye Sili just now disappeared without a trace.
Just three words, but Bai Yi felt a chill in his vest, and secretly cast his gaze in the direction of Yusheng Courtyard. It was obviously three people eavesdropping, so why was he the only one who suffered?
How could he withstand his master's temper? He immediately gave in and said with a guilty conscience:
"Listen, I heard it, but not much." He tried to go back and make up for it.
"Then tell me." Gu Liyou looked away.
"Ah? Tell me, what did you say?" Bai Yi wondered, could he tell him all about the embarrassment of the young master just now?
Bai Yi immediately shook his head, saying that he would be dead.
Gu Liyou glanced at him lightly, and Bai Yi was excited. He suddenly understood what the young master meant, and instantly relaxed a lot. He quickly stepped forward and analyzed:
"Young master, you don't understand why the princess was suddenly angry just now?"
Gu Liyou glanced at him and didn't answer, which was regarded as acquiescence, and Bai Yi took the initiative.
"You've asked the right person."
Bai Yi took another step forward, with an air of familiarity and commonplace talk, and said: "Master, please listen to my analysis. First of all, I just sent you the message yesterday, and you will hurry up tonight."
Coming back means that you care about the princess very much, right?"
Gu Liyou kept looking in the direction Ye Sili left, thought for a while, and explained: "I have been with Ah Li for many years, isn't it right for me to be more concerned about her affairs?"
"Yes." Bai Yi affirmed: "But Master, don't you think there is something wrong with your reaction tonight?"
Gu Liyou glanced at Bai Yi doubtfully, recalling what happened tonight.
Just listen to Bai Yiyi: "To be precise, it's not that something is wrong tonight, it's always been so wrong when you meet the princess. There is no trace of your usual composure."
As soon as Bai received Gu Liyou's stern look, he immediately stopped talking and continued to analyze tonight's events:
"Did Young Master Zyu express his feelings to the princess tonight?"
Mentioning Zhou Ziyu, Gu Liyou felt an inexplicable anger welling up in his heart.
"Hey~ are you watching other people expressing their feelings to the princess, and are you feeling inexplicably angry and feeling uncomfortable all over?"
Seeing that Bai Yi was right, Gu Liyou was surprised and said: "Why do you know so well? Could it be that I am really sick?"
"This is not an illness." Bai Yi smiled at Gu Liyou in a contrived manner, "You are jealous."
"Jealous???"
impossible!!!
"You are just jealous. Otherwise, why would you be so hostile to Master Ziyu tonight? Didn't you say you admire his talent before?"
Seeing that Gu Liyou didn't respond for a while, Bai Yi continued: "As for why the princess is also angry, it's probably because you said the wrong thing just now."
Gu Liyou reacted and asked, "What did I say wrong?"
Bai Yi hated the irony and said: "You said you would agree to her marriage to Mr. Zi Yu."
Not to mention the princess, just when he was hiding aside and heard the young master say this, he almost couldn't help but rush out to stop him.
"I was just talking." Gu Liyou kept recalling what happened tonight. If she didn't like it, he would naturally be the first to disagree, but if she did, who had the right to stop her.
"You are just talking, but the princess takes it seriously." Bai Yi stamped his feet anxiously, but was so frightened by Gu Liyou's eyes that he stood upright silently.
"What are you excited about?"
Bai Yi lowered his head silently.
"Where did your kid learn all this nonsense?"
"Just listen." A few days ago, in late spring, he went to see the pretty boy who sang the opera all day long. He naturally followed him, and after listening to it more, he naturally remembered it. However, he still couldn't figure out what was so good about the pretty boy who sang the opera.
?
Bai Yiyi raised his head and realized that the person in front of him had entered the courtyard.
Due to the sudden incident tonight, Gu Liyou had not properly handled all his official duties abroad, so he left early the next morning. After leaving, Ye Sili did not see him again for more than ten days.
On the first day of October, Ye Sili had nothing to do in his mansion, so he accompanied Ye Zhongyao to Tianyao Temple.
The temple elders accompanied Ye Zhongyao to play chess and drink tea as usual.
But Ye Sili couldn't sit still and took Late Chun Huanxia to wander around in the mountains.
Outside the Ning'an Hou Mansion in Kyoto, Xiao Ling took Yun An to find Mu Jiufeng.
The housekeeper in the mansion said that Mu Jiufeng was still in the bedroom and had not come out. Xiao Ling looked at the sun and then went directly into the mansion.
"Nine winds."
"Mu Jiufeng."
When the Marquis of Ning'an and his wife were not at home, Xiao Ling entered the courtyard and shouted Mu Jiufeng's name loudly. Seeing that his door was closed, she was so angry that she hurriedly knocked on the door, but was stopped by the housekeeper, Uncle Wang.
"Princess, the young master is still resting. It's really inconvenient for you to go in."
Xiao Ling put down her hand that was about to knock on the door, "The princess is waiting here, please uncle Wang to call her out."
"This..." Uncle Wang was obviously in a dilemma. His young master was a demon king. He was sleeping. Who dared to disturb him?
Xiao Ling saw Uncle Wang's dilemma and shouted into the room: "Jiu Feng, didn't you invite us to go swimming in the lake today? What time is it now and you still haven't gotten up?"
There was sudden movement in the house, and Mu Jiufeng was heard shouting angrily: "Who wants to go to the lake? Who wants to go? Anyway, I won't go!"
"Mu Jiufeng, what are you crazy about?"
Xiao Ling looked at Yuan Mu who happened to be entering the yard without knowing why.
"Yuanmu, why is he so crazy?"
Yuan Mu glanced at the closed door, hesitated for a moment, and then heard Xiao Ling say: "What do you want him to do? This princess orders you to explain everything clearly?"
Xiao Ling suddenly remembered something, looked around in confusion, and asked, "Why aren't Si Li and Li You here?"
Yuan Mu looked at Uncle Wang for help, but Uncle Wang silently withdrew, so he had no choice but to explain:
"Young Master Liyou has not returned from going out to deal with government affairs. Huan Xia came this morning to tell you that the princess went to Tianyao Temple with Prince Yu."
So, she and Jiu Feng are the only two people going out to play today?
Xiao Ling felt some inexplicable expectation in her heart. She suppressed a smile and asked, "It's okay if it's just the two of us, so why doesn't he come out?"
"this……"
Yuan Mu glanced at Xiao Ling's reaction, because Bai Yi let something slip when he was chatting with him yesterday, and he also accidentally let it slip when he was communicating with the young master this morning.
"What? Did Ziyu really express his feelings to Sili?" Xiao Ling said in shock.
Why didn't anyone tell her about such an important thing?
"What about Si Li? Do you agree?"
"I don't know the details. I only know that Mr. Liyou rushed back at that time."
"What? Liyou is also here?"
Xiao Ling was even more surprised, what kind of Shura field is this?
No wonder Sili didn't have time to tell her about this in the past few days. She probably had a conflict with Liyou.
"What's going on with Jiu Feng?"
What does it matter to him?
Xiao Ling turned around and looked at the closed door, feeling a little anxious.
Yuanmu confessed: "The young master said that the princess will not go, so he has no need to go out."
"..." Xiao Ling's heart tightened, he really meant something.
Yun An looked at Xiao Ling. She stood in silence in the courtyard for a long time, then suddenly started walking towards the door.
Yuan Mu instinctively wanted to step forward to stop him, but Yun An reached out to stop him.
Xiao Ling suddenly opened the door. Mu Jiufeng, who was lying on the bed, was startled. He turned his head and saw that the person coming was her, so he turned his head and closed his eyes to rest.
"Mu Jiufeng, what do you mean?" Xiao Ling asked angrily.
Mu Jiufeng didn't even bother to open his eyes and said lazily: "I'm sorry, I didn't have time to tell you. I'm not going today, and I won't go to the lake in the future. You should go back early and pay attention to your safety."
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ling became furious and quickly stepped forward and lifted the quilt off Mu Jiufeng. Mu Jiufeng had no choice but to push himself up and sit up, but did not get out of bed.
"The majestic Princess Zhou, how come you are so ungrateful?" Mu Jiufeng spoke lazily, raised his eyes to look at Xiao Ling in front of the bed, and pointed to the door, "Remember to break this bad habit of breaking into a man's bedroom at will.
ah."
"What if the person standing here right now is Sili?"
Xiao Ling suppressed her trembling voice with anger, and the originally white and tender skin on her face was now slightly red with anger.
"What?"
"Let me ask, if it were Sili standing here, would you still be like this, not even bothering to get out of bed? Or, would you let her go back now?"
Hearing this, Mu Jiufeng opened his eyes, raised his eyes and looked at where Xiao Ling was. His thoughts flew away for a moment, and finally he just smiled bitterly and shook his head, "What does it matter to her?"
When Xiao Ling looked at Mu Jiufeng's appearance, her suspicions were confirmed, and she felt even more uncomfortable and angry.
"Mu Jiufeng, do you still think of me as your friend? We grew up together, but you only have Si Li in your heart. Where do you put me...and Li You?"
Mu Jiufeng smiled and said: "I just don't want to go out today. How can I say it so seriously?"
