107 Chapter 106 of “Quick Wear: I Just Want to Clear H”

109: Masked Prince Consort & Straw Princess (13)

After returning to the room, Gu Chengling sat slumped at the table, staring at Yingluo hanging on the curtain in trance. She only knew that Lu Ze was injured, so why did she ever care about whether she was injured?

The bruises on his chest that Lu Ze had received were accidentally slapped a few times by her. The dull pain had been tormenting him. Compared with the pain in his body, what hurt more was his heart.

Ying quietly appeared in the room again, holding a bottle of medicine in his hand. Gu Chengling didn’t even raise his eyes and said coldly: “Get out.”

Ying didn’t listen to him, and came forward with medicine, “Sir, your injury must be treated with medicine.”

Gu Chengling put one hand on the table and held his forehead, “Why, you have disobeyed my orders again and again. If you don’t want to stay here, go back to Tianyong.” His voice was full of exhaustion. He was carrying too much. It would be great if he was just Gu Chengling, a talented scholar, and her consort.

After hearing what he said, Ying’s heart tightened. He was the most skilled in martial arts among these secret guards. If he was sent back to Tianyong, who else could protect the Lord?Even though he was worried about Gu Chengling, he had to obey Gu Chengling’s order and just put the medicine bottle on the table, “My lord, remember to apply the medicine.”

Gu Chengling slowly walked to the bed and lay down on his back without touching the medicine bottle on the table.

In the evening, the emperor summoned him for questioning. The contest between him and Lu Ze was regarded as a private fight. Because he did not know the importance of his actions, he was beaten thirty times and fined for one year.

After returning home, the relationship between the two dropped to a freezing point. Su Yan always treated him coldly when she saw him, determined to break up with him, and this matter had been accumulated in her heart for a long time.

One day, while he was transcribing some ancient records, he was summoned. The person who came to deliver the message was the eunuch beside the emperor, who looked at him with a somewhat subtle look.

The moment he stepped into the hall and saw Su Yan, his heart trembled suddenly. He always remembered that she wanted to make peace with him, and she was telling him today, probably because of that. The hands hidden in the broad sleeves were suddenly clenched.

The emperor personally got down from the dragon chair, stood in front of the two of them, looked at Gu Chengling and said, “Chang Le said that your husband and wife are not in harmony and want to reconcile. What do you think?”

Even though he had already guessed it, Gu Chengling’s heart still trembled, but a gentle smile appeared on his face. He took one of Su Yan’s hands and said, “If the princess feels that I spend too little time with you, I will return home on time in the future, and I will also spend my time with the princess. Don’t be angry, okay?”

Su Yan pulled her hand away with force, but he held it tightly, not hurting her, but making it impossible for her to break away.She really admired Gu Chengling’s ability to lie and said angrily: “Gu Chengling, you know the reason yourself. I don’t want to waste words with you!” She turned her head to the emperor and continued: “Father, I really want to reconcile, please agree.”

“I don’t agree.” As soon as he finished speaking, Gu Chengling objected simply, “Father, since they got married, I and the princess have been very loving, and there has never been any disharmony. This is obvious to all.” At this point, the emperor nodded in agreement, and Su Yan was so angry that her eyes widened.

“How do I treat the princess? You also know that I am devoted to the princess and never look at other women. If it is because I have too little time to accompany the princess, I would like to change to a leisurely job so that I can spare time to accompany the princess.”

“You! Don’t confuse right and wrong! Father, our previous love was all fake. We have always been at odds. It’s just that I want to save face and don’t want others to know!” Seeing that the emperor had believed in Gu Chengling, Su Yan couldn’t help but tell the story of what happened before, without even caring about face.

The emperor glanced at them suspiciously, but saw Gu Chengling holding Su Yan’s hand, putting his hand on her shoulder and patting her, coaxing: “Princess, stop making trouble, let’s go back and talk slowly, don’t disturb the emperor here.”

Su Yan twisted her body to avoid his hand, and said displeasedly: “Stop pretending, I said we should reconcile!”

Seeing this situation, the emperor had already concluded that they were just having a conflict, so he waved his hand and said: “Chang Le, please go down. There is no need to mention this matter again, and I will not agree to it.”

“Father, believe me, I really want to reconcile. Don’t be deceived by Gu Chengling!” Su Yan didn’t expect that the emperor was completely deceived by Gu Chengling. No matter what she said, he believed that he was just losing his temper.After all, the original owner’s unreasonable temper was deeply rooted in people’s hearts and could not be reversed for a while. Gu Chengling was very good at taking advantage of this.

Su Yan’s repeated explanations were of no use, so she had no choice but to storm out.When there were only Gu Chengling and the emperor in the palace, the emperor said with a serious face: “Consort, Chang Le has such a temper. Don’t get angry with her. You are a good person. I hope you can tolerate her more.” There was a hint of apology in his tone.

Gu Chengling said respectfully: “I will treat the princess well.”

From the beginning to the end, Gu Chengling’s eyes were lowered and he did not look at the emperor. The emperor seemed to have noticed this and asked curiously: “Are you afraid of me? You always lower your head in front of me.”

Only then did Gu Chengling raise his eyes, his clear eyes filled with calmness, “I am just taking pictures of the royal majesty, I dare not look directly at the holy face.” He was afraid that he would not be able to hide the hatred in his eyes, and would end up losing everything.

The cicadas were chirping in midsummer. Gu Chengling was sitting under the grape arbor with a pot of wine in front of him. He poured a glass alone and drank it all in one gulp. He drank several glasses in a row but was not drunk at all. Opposite him, there was an empty glass.

“Go and invite the princess here. If she refuses, tell her that I want to discuss today’s affairs with her. If she comes, I am willing to consider it.” He did not order the boy behind him until the wine jar was half empty.

Su Yan came very quickly. As soon as she heard that there was hope for Heli, she didn’t care about anything.

“Gu Chengling, I heard that you want to discuss reconciliation with me?” Su Yan asked with a frown.

Gu Chengling picked up a glass of wine, shook it towards her, and said warmly: “Princess, let’s sit down and talk slowly.”

Su Yan wasn’t sure what he was planning, so she couldn’t do any more beauty tricks, could she?She had no choice but to sit down as she was told, but she saw him pouring a glass of wine and placing it in front of her. He said nonchalantly, “Try it, princess. It tastes sweet and mellow.”

Su Yan said impatiently: “I’m here to talk about reconciliation, not to drink with you. If you don’t want to talk, I’ll go back. Anyway, I can always find a way to reconcile!”

Gu Chengling’s expression darkened, and he said calmly: “Princess, after drinking this glass of wine, I will talk to you again.” After saying this, he made a gesture of invitation with his hands.

“After drinking this glass of wine, will you agree to reconcile?” Su Yan couldn’t help but ask.

Gu Chengling said, “Princess, drink first and then talk.”

Gu Chengling repeatedly asked her to drink. Su Yan was worried that the wine was drugged, so she pushed the quilt to Gu Chengling, “You drink first, and I will drink later.”

Gu Chengling smiled softly, took the cup, drank it all in one gulp, and turned the cup upside down. Not a drop was left.Su Yan saw that he drank by himself, and then she felt relieved. After all, she watched him pour the wine from the pot with her own eyes.

“Get a wine glass for the princess.” Gu Chengling ordered.
