Lin Chuqi carried a food box and took out the plates one by one. Bai Zhi laughed and said, "Where can I get a bite of food? Why did you send it to me?"
"The third master asked us to bring this. He said he was worried that the young lady wouldn't be able to get used to the food outside." Lin Chuqi said.
Bai Zhi: "..."
Why does it feel like she ran back to her parents' home in a huff?
At this moment, in Yishuiyuan on the other side of the capital, Fu Yao was watching Gu Yan, who was walking around like an ant on a hot pan.
"Fu Yao, what do you mean by I don't know? Why did she say I don't know?"
Fu Yao had heard him ask this question more than a dozen times this morning, and his ears were almost callused. He said expressionlessly, "Why don't you ask yourself what's wrong with you? You went to accompany Miss Bai because you were afraid that she would feel sad about the separation, but how did it turn out like this? This is not the way to express your feelings."
Gu Yan: "But when I asked her if she was telling the truth, she said she didn't know."
Fu Yao: “…”
Fu Yao couldn't stand it any longer after hearing the same old things all morning. He slammed the table and said, "You talk too much nonsense. I'm going to run over here and ask Miss Bai what that thing means."
Gu Yan grabbed Fu Yao and shook his head, saying, "No, if I have to ask, I'll ask it myself."
Fu Yao looked at him sideways and said bluntly, "Then why don't you go."
"But she said I don't know. What will happen if I go and ask her? What if she just leaves like that? What if she doesn't go to Qing County?" Gu Yan clasped his hands together and frowned tightly. "I was bewildered last night and was greedy and insatiable. I was already rude enough. Fu Yao, I must not move forward any further."
Fu Yao scratched his ears and said weakly, "As you are now, you can't guess what Miss Bai means no matter how hard you try. Instead of talking nonsense, why not go and see her?"
"She's hiding from me just to avoid me. How can I rush to offend her?" Gu Yan said, "No, no. I don't know, I don't know... Fu Yao, when will people say they don't know?"
Fu Yao collapsed and said, "Just shut up!"
There was a sudden sound of stepping tiles on the eaves. After a few sounds, Changfeng appeared in front of Gu Yan and took out a letter from his arms: "Your Highness, a letter from the Seventh Prince."
Gu Yan suddenly became serious, took the envelope, and whispered, "Changfeng, go and guard Baizhi."
"Yes."
After Changfeng disappeared, Gu Yan took out the letter and read it carefully. Fu Yao looked unfriendly: "You planned this defeat to purge the prince of military power. Yunchuan, the Seventh Prince is more ambitious than you think."
"It's best to have ambition. I just give him a light push and he will roll forward." Gu Yan took out a fire starter and blew it, burning the letter paper completely. He also stepped hard on the ashes and whispered, "Fight, fight, fight to the death."
Bai Zhi seems to be living comfortably these days, but in fact she is very uncomfortable.
When it was time to go to bed, Gu Yan didn't sleep on the floor next to her. She always felt the room was empty and couldn't sleep. On the first day, she stayed awake until the sun came out.
This is so weird. How did she sleep for the first twenty years?
Practicing boxing is annoying, basking in the sun is annoying, and planting flowers in the yard is annoying. One day, Bai Zhi couldn't stand it anymore, so she went out to buy the four treasures of the study, and went back to her room to carefully list the current situation one by one. When the situation was written on paper, Bai Zhi felt that she had seen the crux of the problem - it was the suspension bridge effect that she had heard of in her previous life.
According to this statement, even if someone else were by her side, the impurities in her heart would not change in the slightest, or when she saw Gu Yan again after leaving the Marquis' Mansion, the impurities in her heart would disappear without a trace.
So that's it, it was an illusion.
Bai Zhi clapped her hands in satisfaction, and suddenly felt relaxed. Since it was an illusion, there was no need to worry about it anymore. Just wait for it to end, and then there would be light at last.
The three years originally agreed upon were almost up until the next spring. Bai Zhi had nothing to do, so she started to make some preparations for leaving the city. She first went to the city's know-it-all to inquire about the current situation in Qing County. The know-it-all said that he would send her a message in two days. Then she ran to Donkey Inn Street to pick out a very sturdy carriage. In order to avoid being targeted by bandits, she specifically instructed the shopkeeper to make the carriage look very shabby at first glance, and to choose a strong horse that was tattered on the outside but rich on the inside.
The journey was nearly 4,000 miles. Bai Zhi looked at the map and found that the official road from the capital was more than 3,700 miles to Hengzhou. The rest of the way was unclear. It seemed that we had to cross mountains and rivers and take a boat to cross the river. Qing County was surrounded by mountains and rivers. It looked like a good place no matter how we looked at it.
But her little house didn't seem to be a good place.
In the past two days, Bai Zhi had a vague feeling that someone was wandering around the house, and sometimes she could catch a fleeting figure at a glance. The capital city has been in turmoil recently, and it is possible that someone with ulterior motives saw her spending lavishly in Donkey Inn Street and followed her all the way to the house to spy on her.
It was too passive to just wait like this. Changfeng happened to be following her here for the past two days, so Bai Zhi simply called Changfeng out and asked him to catch the stalker and bring him to see her. She wanted to see who was waiting to steal and rob her.
But after talking to Changfeng, he didn't move for a long time.
Bai Zhi: "Why don't you go?"
Changfeng looked outside the wall, then looked at Baizhi, and said hesitantly, "It's His Highness outside."
Bai Zhi: "???"
Why is he here?
No, why did he come here secretly?
Bai Zhi hesitated for a moment and asked again: "Now? Outside now?"
Changfeng nodded.
Now it was Bai Zhi's turn to remain motionless for a long time.
Gu Yan was just outside the wall, and all of a sudden, everything Bai Zhi had been trying to figure out was blocked.
She inexplicably felt a little "homesick", cleared her throat and asked again: "Are you still there?"
Changfeng still nodded.
The walls of this run-down house were so thin that Gu Yan, a martial artist, must have heard the conversation in the house. He neither came in nor left, but just waited there across the wall. What was he waiting for?
Bai Zhi's curiosity was even greater than her timidity, and it almost overwhelmed her.
She cursed, gritted her teeth and strode out. The moment she pushed open the door, she saw Gu Yan, whom she had not seen for a long time.
Gu Yan put on the white dress with red patterns, holding a broken jade fan in his hand, and stood there tall and graceful. He could not hide the uneasiness in his heart, which showed directly on his face.
Bai Zhi looked at him and sighed softly, saying, "What are you doing there? Come inside."
Gu Yan's eyes suddenly lit up. He didn't dare to say a word and followed Bai Zhi into the house like a tail.
