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

Fang Qingyou practically fled the Eighth Prince's residence, walking nonstop the whole way, afraid that Luo Qianmo would call her back.

It wasn't until she left the Eighth Prince's residence that Fang Qingyou remembered that Lüye was still inside. She had originally wanted to ask Xuanzhu about it, but she immediately saw her carriage parked outside the Eighth Prince's residence, with Lüye sitting on the carriage shaft, constantly looking inside.

"Miss Fang, you've finally come out." Green Field's tone was somewhat mournful.

Fang Qingyou: "..."

She had indeed been staying in the Eighth Prince's residence for far too long, but Green Field didn't need to look like that.

She was constantly oppressed by Luo Qianmo's tyranny; was it easy for her?

"Greenfield, what time is it now? Are the city gates about to close? We'd better hurry."

Green Field nodded: "It's about 4:45 PM, isn't it? The city gates are indeed about to close, we must get out of the city quickly."

"Then let's go."

"Okay," Green Field replied, and then drove the carriage away at high speed.

Fang Qingyou breathed a sigh of relief after the carriage started moving; she had finally left the Eighth Prince's residence.

However, she soon made a face, because she remembered that Gu Jinyi was still in the Eighth Prince's residence, and she hadn't had a chance to say goodbye to him.

"Green Field, I forgot to say goodbye to Young Master Gu." Fang Qingyou was a little disappointed. She had originally thought she could spend more time with Gu Jinyi, but now she didn't even have the chance to say goodbye.

"It's alright, Young Master Gu won't blame you. I already said goodbye to him when I came out, and he knows we're gone."

Fang Qingyou: "..."

Was Green Field's statement truly meant to comfort her rather than discourage her?

……

Inside the Eighth Prince's residence, Xuan Zhu brought Gu Jinyi to meet Luo Qianmo.

Gu Jinyi's expression remained gentle throughout, but he breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems that Miss Fang has left safely."

Gu Jinyi's gentle smile would make most people feel comfortable and friendly, but Luo Qianmo found him extremely displeasing no matter how she looked at him.

Therefore, Luo Qianmo's voice was very indifferent: "Young Master Gu, you are a rare guest. May I ask what brings you here?"

At this moment, Luo Qianmo raised his chin, his expression exceptionally cold, looking exactly like the arrogant and haughty eighth prince of legend, completely unlike the indifferent and tranquil figure he had been at the pavilion in the lake earlier.

In fact, Luo Qianmo knew why Gu Jinyi had come, but he just didn't want to think that way.

Gu Jinyi seemed oblivious to the displeasure in Luo Qianmo's eyes, and politely bowed to Luo Qianmo: "Eighth Prince, I have nothing to do. I just happened to be passing by your residence and thought I'd like to pay a visit."

Not having to kneel before royalty and nobility is a privilege unique to Young Master Gu.

"Is that so? It seems I should feel honored that the number one young master in the world, Young Master Gu, actually thought of me." Although he said this, there was no sense of honor on Luo Qianmo's face. Instead, one could feel a strong sense of disdain.

Gu Jinyi smiled gently and said, "I wouldn't dare. It is my honor that the Eighth Prince is willing to see me."

Luo Qianmo's lips curled into a mocking sneer, his deep eyes staring directly into Gu Jinyi's eyes: "Young Master Gu, you actually came here specifically for Fang Qingyou, didn't you?"

Gu Jinyi was slightly startled, not expecting Luo Qianmo to ask this question so directly.

The real answer to this question is "yes".

In fact, he had considered it for a long time before coming to the Eighth Prince's residence today.

Given his status, it was inappropriate for him to get too close to any of the princes, as even the slightest action could cause a great upheaval in Yunjing City.

Gu Jinyi knew this well; he had done a good job all these years, but he couldn't do it this time.

Gu Jinyi was very worried about what Luo Qianmo would do to Fang Qingyou, because a prince could completely control a person's life and death, and Luo Qianmo, the eighth prince, had always acted without restraint. If he wanted someone to live or die, he would never care whether there was a convincing reason.

That's why Gu Jinyi came to find Luo Qianmo, hoping that his identity would make Luo Qianmo wary and not make things difficult for Fang Qingyou.

The reason he went to the Eighth Prince's residence with Fang Qingyou was because he wanted to see her with his own eyes.

Yes, Gu Jinyi cares a lot about Fang Qingyou.

Not only because Fang Qingyou could cure Gu Yuxin, but also because she was the only woman who could stir his heart, the only one for many years.

However, Gu Jinyi would not let anyone know this, because he was well aware of what his concern would bring to Fang Qingyou.

"Eighth Prince, you misunderstand. I just happened to run into Miss Fang outside your residence," Gu Jinyi explained with a smile.

"Is that so?" Luo Qianmo glanced at Gu Jinyi sideways: "I thought that Young Master Gu was afraid that I would eat Fang Qingyou, so he came to my residence to check on me."

"No," Gu Jinyi said with a smile, "The Eighth Prince has always loved his people like his own children."

Luo Qianmo sneered: "I'm afraid only Young Master Gu in this world would think that way, right?"

"That's not the case. A few days ago, after the case in the outskirts of the capital was settled, everyone in the world knows about the Eighth Prince's benevolence and wisdom."

Knowing what Gu Jinyi was talking about, Luo Qianmo's expression suddenly turned violent: "Young Master Gu, I don't need you to remind me of these things! Since you have already met me, I will not keep you any longer."

As he spoke, Luo Qianmo glanced at Xuan Zhu beside him and said, "Xuan Zhu, see the guest out!"

Upon hearing this, Xuan Zhu immediately stepped forward: "Young Master Gu, please."

"Eighth Prince, thank you for your hospitality today. Farewell." Gu Jinyi's face still had that gentle smile, showing no embarrassment at being angrily dismissed by Luo Qianmo.

After Gu Jinyi left, the violent expression on Luo Qianmo's face vanished instantly.

At this moment, he exuded an innate nobility, as if everything in the world was under his control. No one could reconcile him with the arrogant and tyrannical eighth prince from before.

After leaving the Eighth Prince's residence and getting into the carriage, Gu Jinyi still had a gentle smile, but a glint of shrewdness flashed in his warm black eyes.

This wasn't the first time he'd met Luo Qianmo. Every time he saw him, he felt that Luo Qianmo wasn't as arrogant and eccentric as he appeared. On the contrary, he always felt that Luo Qianmo was someone who kept a low profile.

Among all the princes, Luo Qianmo was the only one he couldn't see through. He only knew that Luo Qianmo's arrogance, his tyranny, and his extravagance were all pretense.

This encounter further confirmed Gu Jinyi's suspicions.

Everyone thought Luo Qianmo was a good-looking but lazy prince who indulged in pleasure and neglected state affairs, but he felt that everyone was wrong.

Perhaps the one who made the biggest mistake was Empress Qin, who thought Luo Qianmo only had the Emperor's favor to rely on.
