"benefactor!"

After knowing that Pei Zhiyi was slandered by Jun Mo and thrown into the cell, Gu Xizhou rushed over without stopping.

Fortunately, she is fine.

Pei Zhiyi was caught off guard and was held tightly in Gu Xizhou's arms. Gu Xizhou was very strong, so strong that it did not seem like the strength that a person with poor health could possess.

However, Pei Zhiyi didn't have the time to think about these things, because she would have to face a series of concerned questions from Gu Xizhou next.

"Are you injured anywhere?"

"I heard they wanted to search my soul. Did they really do that?"

"How dare that Jun Mo treat you like this!"

Pei Zhiyi felt dizzy for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "You have so many questions, which one should I answer first?"

Gu Xizhou couldn't laugh, and told her solemnly: "You must answer me seriously for every question, and absolutely cannot hide anything."

Pei Zhiyi shrugged helplessly and pushed away Gu Xizhou's arms. Only then did he feel like he was breathing fresh air.

"I'm not hurt anywhere. With Ruoxi here, she won't be serious about me."

"It was I who suggested the soul search, but His Royal Highness the Third Prince was too timid to conduct it and didn't dare to gamble with me, so the matter fell through."

"The reason he treated me like this might be because he's simply mentally ill, or perhaps it's because I'm the princess's advisor, so he's anxious to eliminate me, someone who can help Jun Qingge."

Pei Zhiyi smiled and tried to calm Gu Xizhou down. "Could you please be more confident in me? How could I possibly do something I'm not sure of? I went along because I didn't want to embarrass Ruoxi, and I can guarantee I'll escape unscathed. You're worrying about me and making Master Gu confused."

"You also know that I am confused because of my concern."

Gu Xizhou stared into Pei Zhiyi's eyes. At that moment, he wanted to ignore everything and just take her away.

Pei Zhiyi was speechless for a moment. Gu Xizhou suddenly said this, and she didn't know what to say.

"Oh, don't worry, it's nothing serious." Pei Zhiyi turned her head away from Gu Xizhou. At that moment, her wooden body seemed to be warming up. "Besides, everyone knows that you brought me in. How could they dare to really do anything to me?"

"I think they are just tired of living."

There was murderous intent in Gu Xizhou's eyes. This was the first time Pei Zhiyi truly felt that he seemed to be really angry.

"Don't be so angry. Everything is according to the procedure. There will be no problem."

Pei Zhiyi took a deep breath, then walked over, hugged Gu Xizhou, and patted him on the back. "I'm fine, and you shouldn't take your anger out on other people. The most important thing is that you're already in poor health, so you need to be more stable emotionally, otherwise, if something happens, you won't know what to do."

"If something bad happens to me, what will my benefactor do?"

Pei Zhiyi suddenly fell silent. In the past, she would have been able to answer this question readily, but now she seemed unsure. This was also the first time she realized and thought about this problem.

If something really happened to Gu Xizhou, what would she do?

Will she still be as calm as she is now? Probably not.

Perhaps, she would be as anxious as he is now, like an ant on a hot pan, wishing to kill all those who hurt him and put an end to it all.

"I……"

"You don't need to answer, benefactor."

Gu Xizhou subconsciously avoided the answer to this question, or perhaps, he knew in his heart that Pei Zhiyi would probably have the same reaction as him. But right now, he didn't have the courage to listen to the answer, because he couldn't make any promises to her, and he might even be the executioner who pointed the knife at her.

"You must be frightened, benefactor. How about I take you out of the palace today? You don't need to worry about the things here anyway. You can spend your time on things that you think are more meaningful."

“But I think this is very meaningful.”

Pei Zhiyi pursed her lips. "I used to think that the most meaningful thing was to just do my own thing. Later, I realized that if my friends' experiences were not resolved, it would become a thorn in my heart. I am willing to treat their problems as if they were my own. This is what I think is meaningful now."

"Why would my benefactor do this?"

Why do you have to be so considerate of others? Why can't you think more about yourself?

But Gu Xizhou knew that this was her.

"I understand your thoughts, benefactor, and I naturally respect your opinion."

Pei Zhiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm glad you understand."

"But I'm still a little worried." Gu Xizhou took the opportunity to suggest that Pei Zhiyi live with him. "Your Majesty has also opened a palace for me in the royal palace. My place is spacious and big enough for my benefactor to stay. Besides, with me here, they won't dare to attack my benefactor again."

“But I live in

"The princess's place isn't very safe, and you're not that familiar with her. You're more familiar with me than me. So, maybe you'll be more comfortable living with me."

Seeing that Gu Xizhou was so strong, Pei Zhiyi didn't say anything else.

After she agreed in a daze, she finally realized why she had to listen to him so much. Wasn't this role reversal?

"Living with the Imperial Master?"

Jun Qingge's face was full of amusement. Our national master's intentions were really obvious to everyone.

Then she naturally couldn't be the bad guy.

"Zhiyi, as long as you feel happy, I won't force you."

"If you have something to ask, you can ask your confidant to find me there, and I will come over."

It would be better for her to go to the palace of the Grand Master in person.

"I know, you don't have to worry. After what happened, Jun Mo shouldn't take any more action in the short term. But as long as the murderer of my eldest brother is not caught, everyone in this palace will be in danger."

Who on earth was so capable and so brazen as to dump the body in the river?

"The truth will eventually come to light, perhaps in the next few days."

Ye Ruoxi has ordered the people from the Immortal Guard Division to start a large-scale carpet search. Even if they can't catch the murderer, at least they can identify the suspect.

The news that Pei Zhiyi was living with Gu Xizhou spread like wildfire to every corner of the palace.

Pei Zhinian laughed when he heard the news, "He thought that if he stayed by Pei Zhiyi's side day and night, I wouldn't be able to kill him?"

"Maybe he just simply wants to live with him."

His subordinates had heard some rumors, so their ideas were different from Pei Zhinian's.

"What do you mean? What do you mean he just wants to live with Pei Zhiyi?"
