"When she was eight years old, she wrote in a letter that she heard that there were many jade mines in Chizhou, and she hoped that I could personally find a piece of beautiful jade for her and give it to her personally.

It’s just that I never had the chance to give this piece of jade to my mother.”

Prince Ning suddenly spoke, his eyes wandering far away, looking lonely, guilty, and full of longing.

At this moment, Gu Xi saw a different King Ning again. He was not the invincible God of War, but a son who felt guilty for his mother.

This somewhat broke her guard.

Blood and family ties were her weak point, and Prince Ning suddenly came to stir things up. She couldn't wait to enter the palace to see the Queen Mother.

Gu Xi stared at Prince Ning, feeling that he was doing it on purpose, deliberately showing weakness to make himself soft-hearted.

"Do you know why I am telling you this?"

When Prince Ning came back to his senses and saw Gu Xi staring at him, he couldn't help but smile, and most of the gloom in his heart disappeared.

Sure enough, it's more interesting to see her expression.

Her thoughts are revealed in her clear and beautiful eyes.

"I know." Gu Xi curled her lips, "It's to make me win the trust of the Queen Mother. It's not to make me feel soft and hurry up."

Prince Ning suddenly smiled, his smiling eyebrows and eyes were crescent, his lips were red and his teeth were white, making him more and more handsome.

Seeing that his smile was so charming, Gu Xi suddenly couldn't stare anymore.

She suddenly understood what those men who were fascinated by her beauty were thinking.

A beautiful smile is charming.

That doesn’t mean that everything you say is right and I listen to you.

Unexpectedly, Gu Xi suddenly remembered the way Prince Ning raised his neck and asked her to take off the ribbon for him. That completely sacrificial gesture shocked her so much!!

Gu Xi didn't even know that she liked this tune.

Cover your face.

Immediately, she recalled the scene when she gave Prince Ning the medicine. Prince Ning's lips tasted particularly warm and soft, and they felt particularly comfortable to kiss.

Prince Ning noticed that she was distracted and kept staring at him, thinking that the little girl would still be seduced by his beauty.

"You keep staring at my mouth. What are you thinking about?"

Prince Ning approached her, whispered in her ear, and asked seductively.

"I think the prince's lips are very soft." Gu Xi replied subconsciously.

Prince Ning suspected that he had heard wrongly. Was he being teased just now?

Did something happen that he didn't know about while he was in a coma?

For example, when he couldn't drink the medicine, she fed him by mouth?

If that's the case... Prince Ning touched his chin, forget it, just pretend he doesn't know.

Gu Xi,...

What did she just say?

Beauty is indeed misleading!

"Ahem, please don't get me wrong, Your Majesty, what I just meant is... it doesn't mean anything. No one has a hard mouth, right?"

Gu Xi had no expression on his face and tried to save his respect.

Prince Ning raised his eyebrows slightly and said meaningfully, "I see your mouth is very hard."

If you don't tell the truth, you will lie to fool him.

You've obviously been scornful of him, but you still want to get away.

That is to say, he is generous, does not argue with her, and gives in to her, coaxes her, and matches her, and pretends to be stupid when he should not understand.

Gu Xi remained silent, feeling embarrassed and even wanted to say goodbye.

But leaving like this would make her feel guilty, so Gu Xi tried to stay calm and hoped that the embarrassment would be over soon.

At this time, Wang Xiaohai knocked on the door and said that he wanted to see Gu Xi.

Gu Xi quickly responded and immediately stood up to say goodbye to Prince Ning, thinking that she would give Wang Xiaohai a monthly salary increase later.

Will do the job!

Prince Ning looked at Gu Xi's fleeing figure and smiled.

-

The other side.

It turned out that Gu Rong was pretending to be faint and was still conscious.

However, when she was carried onto the carriage, as the carriage swayed, and she was tired from paying for the murder for the past few days, she really fell asleep.

When she woke up, she found that she had returned to her boudoir in the Hou Mansion.

"Miss, you're awake." The maid standing by the bed asked softly, "Do you want to pass on the food?"

"Where's Jade?" Seeing that this maid was at her mother's side, Gu Rong's heart sank and she asked with a slightly panicked expression.

"Jade was called by Madam for questioning." The maid replied.

"Where is mother? I'm going to see mother." Gu Rong was so flustered that she immediately got out of bed.

She was worried that the fact that she asked Jade to hire a murderer to intercept Gu Xi would be exposed.

However, as soon as she walked out of the room, she saw her mother coming, followed by Jade.

Gu Rong looked towards Feicui, her eyes full of worry and panic. Feicui shook her head gently and smiled, signaling her to relax.

Gu Rong's heart slowly calmed down.

"Are you feeling better?" Mrs. Hou looked at Gu Rong and asked.

"Mother is worried. My daughter is fine." Gu Rong lowered her head and whispered with a guilty conscience.

"Why did you faint suddenly before? I asked a doctor to check your pulse, but he didn't see any symptoms."

Mrs. Hou asked again.

"Mother, my daughter just had a serious illness before she returned home, which left some sequelae. My daughter can't remember some things from the past. Once she is asked about it and thinks too much, she will have an unbearable headache, so she faints.

Pour."

Gu Rong told her the excuse she had thought up, which was 30% true and 70% false, but hearing it was still like thunder in Mrs. Hou's ears.

"What do you mean? Don't remember? Why didn't you tell mother when you came back?" Mrs. Hou asked with her eyes widened and her voice raised.

"Don't be angry, mother, I know I was wrong."

Gu Rong lowered her head, trembling all over, looking very scared and timid, and said pitifully,

"My daughter is afraid... she is afraid that if she tells the truth, her mother will dislike her because of her poor health. She also wants to take this opportunity to say goodbye to the past, because some of her remaining memories are very bad."

When Mrs. Hou saw her like this, she suddenly remembered the way Gu Xi calmly confronted her, Princess Yaoguang and others. She was so dazzling, confident, and ladylike.

Because of this comparison, Mrs. Hou could not help but feel dissatisfied with Gu Rong.

"Raise your head! Look at me and speak." Mrs. Hou frowned and said to her,

"How can the eldest daughter of the Hou family be so timid, always lowering her head and lowering her chest? No matter how talented you are, you will still be laughed at and looked down upon by people from such a small family.

Think about what Gu Xi does, she is confident, calm, and at ease, that's why she can be so authoritative!"

Gu Rong listened to her mother's admonishment and the obvious hint of hatred in her tone. She was shocked and couldn't help but look up at her.

She saw her mother's dissatisfaction with her and was unhappy.

Rong's heart skipped a beat. Ever since she gained Mrs. Lu's favor and showed off her astonishing talent in poetry and superb piano skills, her mother had grown fond of her and never looked dissatisfied in her eyes.<

/p>

But now... her mother taught her such a harsh lesson, hoping that she could learn to behave like Gu Xi.

It must be because of the confrontation with Gu Xi that my mother’s attitude changed!

What kind of magical power does Gu Xi have? He brainwashed his mother in one fell swoop!
