Pushing open the door to the yard and looking at the pile of unfinished products on the embankment, pain welled up in his eyes.

My ankles felt like they were tied with two stones.

Every step he took was difficult, and the yard was filled with deep footprints. Gu Fei stood on the edge and did not step onto the stairs.

He stretched out his right hand, his fingertips touching the edge of the lantern.

He tried to take the lantern with his fingers, but no matter how hard he tried, his fingers would not move.

His thin lips were pressed into a straight line.

Finally let go.

Looking deeply at the lanterns in the house, he stood in the rain for a while holding an umbrella, and finally turned and left.

Old Lu has been staying at the Li family. While Qing Liang and Feng Wudu were dealing with medicinal materials, Li Xiaoyu pretended to go out and took Old Lu with her.

On the way, when no one was around, she told him her plan.

After hearing her words, Old Lu looked a little flustered.

"Xiao Yu, I can't let you take this risk. Besides, the prince won't agree to it."

Li Xiaoyu stood under the eaves, folded his arms, and showed a smug expression: "I don't need his consent."

"No."

"It doesn't matter if it's okay or not. If I say it's okay, it's okay."

The two men stood under the eaves of an uninhabited house and had a heated discussion.

In the end, because of Li Xiaoyu's words, Lao Lu hesitated for a long time. After some inner struggle, he finally agreed with her decision.

Lao Lu agreed, for her safety.

He said seriously: "If I find any danger that is harmful to you, I will send you away without hesitation."

"Don't worry," Li Xiaoyu patted his shoulder seriously, "If there's any danger, you don't need to remind me, I'll be the first to run away."

"Okay, I'll leave you signals along the way, and then come find me in disguise."

After the deal was settled, Li Xiaoyu was ready to go back. There were still a few pot cakes left to make. Before leaving, she narrowed her eyes and threatened Lao Lu sternly.

"By the way, don't tell anyone, or I'll get angry."

"will not."

Lao Lu made a promise, but he was actually curious about how far she could go.

The three of them arrived home almost at the same time.

Gu Fei walked under the eaves and heard footsteps coming from behind. He stopped and looked back to the side of the road.

When I saw Li Xiaoyu talking to Lao Lu.

A feeling of gloom rose in his heart.

Sensing a cold gaze looking at him, Old Lu raised his head and called out respectfully, "Your Majesty."

Hearing this, Li Xiaoyu also looked over.

Seeing Gu Fei looking at her gently, she changed her expression and put away her smile.

It was hard for Gu Fei not to notice such obvious difference in treatment. He suppressed the possessiveness in his heart and smiled reluctantly, "I'm back."

He didn't ask where to go, he knew he had no position.

The woman nodded to him expressionlessly, then walked past him holding an umbrella.

Watch her put down the umbrella and go to the kitchen.

Gu Fei's face darkened, and he asked Lao Lu in a low voice: "Where did you go?"

Old Lu finally discovered that the couple had both learned the face-changing art from Shu.

He said what he had discussed with Li Xiaoyu before: "Xiaoyu is going to deliver some things to the villagers. Let me help."

After hearing the explanation, Gu Fei's expression eased a little.

Seeing the changes in the prince, Old Lu suppressed the secret in his heart.

In the evening, after dinner, Lao Lu went to sleep at other secret guards' homes, but Gu Fei did not go. He chose to stay here.

Thinking that Xiaoyu would not let him into the room, Qingliang came up with an idea.

"Xiao Fei, if you don't mind, why don't you stay with me and your junior brother tonight?"

"Thank you, Master. I will sleep here."

He pointed to the table in the main room. Li Xiaoyu took out two quilts and said, "These are the only two quilts left. As for how to cover them, it's up to you."

After putting down her things, she went back to her room.

Gu Fei touched the soft quilt and looked at her reluctantly until the door was closed.

Only then did he withdraw his greedy gaze.

Feng Wudu watched his senior brother spread the quilts with one hand, so he took the initiative to step forward to help. After the two quilts were spread out, he looked at his senior brother's height and then looked at the table.

He proposed his own idea: "Brother, you are too tall, it is not convenient for you to sleep here, you and Master can sleep on the bed, I will sleep here."

Gu Fei refused calmly.

"No need, just sleep here," it was closer to her.

Seeing this, Qing Liang knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he said to Feng Wudu: "Let's go, he has to leave tomorrow morning, let him rest early."

After returning to the room, Feng Wudu was still worried.

Seeing his master leaning against the bedside reading a medical book, he asked worriedly, "Master, will my brother fall down?"

Looking at his silly apprentice, Qing Liang laughed.

"He's probably looking forward to falling off."

If he could get Li Xiaoyu's concern, Gu Fei really wanted to fall off the table, but at this point, he didn't want to and couldn't use those little tricks.

He sat on the bench, the big kid stood on his shoulders, and the little kid curled up at his feet.

The two little guys accompanied him considerately.

His dark eyes stared deeply at the wooden door on the side, and he saw a faint light emanating from the bottom edge of the door.

He was guessing what the woman in the room was doing.

Li Xiaoyu didn't do anything. She sat on a small stool, writing and drawing on a notebook with a charcoal pencil in her hand, but the character on the picture changed from the domineering general to Gu Fei.

She sketched his appearance with charcoal and made some notes next to it.

That night, she was busy until very late, even though she had no desire to sleep.

Similarly, the man outside stayed with her until very late, until the faint light went out and he supported himself on the table with one hand.

Fall asleep with your forehead supported on the side.

The next morning, thinking that they were leaving, she got up early.

She opened the door and came out, seeing two quilts neatly folded. She yawned and carried the quilts back to the room.

When I walked outside, I saw Gu Fei standing on the edge of the fortress, with one hand behind his back, looking into the distance through the drizzle, and he looked very lonely.

She took a look and turned and walked straight to the kitchen.

The moment she turned around, Gu Fei turned back and followed her slowly.

Knowing it was him, Li Xiaoyu didn't turn around and asked softly, "Have you washed up?"

"It's been tidied up," Gu Fei's voice was very soft.

The woman nodded and said, "Go sit for a while. I'll make breakfast for you and Lao Lu. You can eat before you leave."

"I'll help you."

"No, you are guests. There is no reason to ask guests for help."

As she spoke wearily, Gu Fei stopped at the kitchen door. Old Lu came over and saw this scene. He felt sorry for his own prince.

Once again, I hesitated whether to tell the secret.

After thinking about it, he gave up the idea.

After washing up, I cooked breakfast for them, and then walked them to the door after they finished eating.

Li Xiaoyu took off the thing from her neck and gave it back to him. Seeing that he also carried the box on his back, she felt that there was no problem.

He started to chase people away: "You guys go away quickly."

Gu Fei took a deep breath, put the thing in his arms, and looked into her clear peach blossom eyes.

He forced himself to smile. When he smiled, his little canine tooth would show, which usually made him look more obedient, but now it made him look pitiful.
