The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

Gu Jinyi took off his snow-white fox fur cloak and gently draped it over Fang Qingyou.

"Young Master Gu..." Fang Qingyou was still a little dazed. She never expected that the person who saved her would be Gu Jinyi.

A person as ethereal as him seems out of place in such a filthy prison.

"Miss Fang, let's go!" Gu Jinyi's smile was as warm as the sun, making the cold prison cell seem warmer.

Fang Qingyou paused for a moment, then immediately left with Gu Jinyi.

She naturally didn't want to stay in this place any longer.

She had only taken one step when her legs gave way, and her face paled even more.

Just as she was about to fall, her arm was supported by a refined hand.

Before her was Gu Jinyi's smiling face, his gentle eyes filled with undisguised worry.

"Miss Fang, are you alright?"

"It's nothing." Fang Qingyou smiled at Gu Jinyi and moved her arm awkwardly.

Although she was very weak at the moment and longed for someone to lean on, that person should not be Gu Jinyi.

He saved her, which was already a great act of kindness; she couldn't allow him to tarnish his purity in any way.

Gu Jinyi quickly released Fang Qingyou's arm, his palm suddenly feeling empty, and a trace of sadness flashed across his eyes.

My heart felt as if a crack had suddenly appeared, leaving behind a patchy, cold ache.

In her heart, there was only that one man.

She only had eyes for that one person.

Even in such a weak state, she refused to accept the embrace of another man.

She was indeed different from before; she was no longer the girl who would be overjoyed to see her.

Now, her heart is filled with that one man, a man neither of them had ever imagined.

As they watched Fang Qingyou walk out of the cell, Du Mengfu and Shi Wantong looked extremely grim. They had gone to great lengths to capture Fang Qingyou and had finally succeeded, but now it seemed she was about to be rescued.

"Young Master Gu, you can't take her away!"

Du Mengfu tried to rush over, but before she could get close to Gu Jinyi, she was pushed away by one of the Gu family guards.

Caught off guard, Du Mengfu was pushed to the ground. Knowing she couldn't stop Gu Jinyi, she curled her lips into a mocking smile: "It's rumored that Young Master Gu has always been as pure as a lotus, untouched by the dust of the world. Yet now he's willing to step into this vile prison for someone else's woman. It seems those rumors are completely unbelievable!"

Gu Jinyi was about to speak when a clear, crisp voice cut him off, saying, "Miss Du, if I were you, I definitely wouldn't be laughing right now. You should think about how your dear cousin would react if he saw you like this."

Du Mengfu's face turned pale instantly. She knew that she could never become the daughter-in-law of the Shi family, but in the heart of her beloved, she hoped that she would still be as beautiful and wonderful as before, and did not want people to see her in such a disheveled and ugly state.

Du Mengfu's face was ashen, but Fang Qingyou's lips curved into a bright smile: "Young Master Gu, I'd like to entrust these two to me, is that alright?"

That radiant smile made Gu Jinyi's heart flutter: "Of course."

Despite her gentle words, Du Mengfu and Shi Wantong suddenly went limp. If they fell into Fang Qingyou's hands, they would likely meet a terrible end.

"Then thank you very much, Young Master Gu." Fang Qingyou smiled faintly, her gaze slowly sweeping over Du Mengfu and Shi Wantong, as if memorizing their appearances, before stepping out of the somber cell.

This time, if Gu Jinyi hadn't arrived in time, she might have...

A sharp glint flashed quickly in his usually clear eyes.

When I went outside, it was still dark, but the night had turned into dawn.

Breathing in the fresh air, Fang Qingyou finally felt truly alive again, and her tightly clenched heart finally relaxed.

The air was cold, and even wearing a thick cloak, Fang Qingyou still felt cold.

Seeing Fang Qingyou trembling, Gu Jinyi quickly helped her into the carriage.

He came in a hurry tonight and didn't prepare much in the carriage. He also didn't expect that the people behind him were Shi Wantong and Du Mengfu, and he didn't expect that they would do such a thing to Fang Qingyou.

The thought of Fang Qingyou spending so long in that cold cell wearing only a thin undergarment made even her gentle face seem to turn frosty.

There was only a small stove inside the carriage, but it was already much warmer than the outside temperature, and Fang Qingyou's pale complexion gradually returned to normal.

"Young Master Gu, thank you so much for today."

“Miss Fang, how can I possibly accept your gratitude? The more you thank me, the more guilty I feel.”

Seeing Shi Wantong, all my doubts were resolved.

Gu Jinyi had long known that Shi Wantong admired him, and she had made moves against Fang Qingyou more than once. However, even he did not expect that Shi Wantong's intentions would be so vicious.

Fang Qingyou was still a young, unmarried woman. Even if she were already married, she shouldn't have treated a woman so cruelly.

If it weren't for him, Fang Qingyou wouldn't have suffered this disaster tonight.

“Young Master Gu, don’t blame yourself. What’s meant to be will be. I’ve learned my lesson. This is Heaven’s way of reminding me to be more careful in the future and not to make the same mistake again.”

Fang Qingyou knew that all of this was because of Shi Wantong's jealousy, but should she really blame Gu Jinyi?

Shi Wantong likes Gu Jinyi, but that's not something he can control, and he can't control her thoughts and actions either.

The blame is entirely innocent.

Listening to Fang Qingyou's rather mischievous tone, Gu Jinyi seemed to see the lively girl he had just met, and his thoughts drifted back to a long time ago.

It had only been a few months, but he always felt that those things were as distant as if they were from another world.

“Miss Fang…”

There's a question in my mind that I almost blurt out, but every time it gets to my lips, I seem unable to say it.

Gu Jinyi was a little scared, scared of hearing that answer, because he could almost guess it.

But at the same time, he also had some expectations, perhaps the answer wasn't what he thought it would be.

Even the slightest hope is still a hope that it isn't true.

God knows how nervous he was when he learned that she had been taken away; he was truly afraid that he would never see her again.

The thought of that possibility fills me with endless panic.

This time, he finally had a chance to get the answer to that question, and he was willing to try even if there was only a sliver of hope.

"Miss Fang, do you have someone you like in your heart?"
