Who took away my wealth

"come in!"

I drank too much wine last night and my energy was still strong. When I got out of bed, Gu Yu's head was not clear enough.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Song Qinian walking in with a tray. In addition to a bowl of steaming beef noodles, there was also a bowl of yellow soup.

"I'll wash up."

"Your Highness, let me fetch water for you."

Like a little daughter-in-law, Song Qinian helped bring the water for mouthwash, fetched hot water in a copper basin, twisted the towel, and then had to help him wash his face.

"Is there anything unusual in my room last night?"

Gu Yu took the steaming towel and put it on his face. The steam made his face red and hot, which made him sober.

Song Qinian shook his head seriously: "No, I didn't feel anything unusual. Is His Highness sleepy or dreaming?"

"Did I dream it?"

"Of course, when His Highness was drunk before, he talked in his sleep!"

Gu Yu was shocked, he didn't say anything he shouldn't have said, right?

"What did I say?"

"It's just about money, something like 'If you don't shed a tear for love, you can't sleep at night just because of money'."

Gu Yu's face froze. Such words were indeed what he could say.

That's all, anyway, he had done all the humiliating things in front of Song Qinian, so all this talk in his sleep was just a waste of time.

Then it was confirmed. Last night was really a dream he had. He didn't get up to drink water at all in the middle of the night, or why his throat was so dry.

In order to change the subject, Gu Yu specifically pointed to the tray the boy placed on the table.

"What's in that bowl?"

"Hoverover soup. Your Highness drank a lot of wine last night. I'm afraid you'll have a headache today. Drinking a little will make you feel better."

His kids... are so considerate, aren't they?

It's a bit reluctant to give such a good young man to someone else at a cheap price.

But this reluctance only lasted until after breakfast.

Gu Yu began to plan in his mind about running away at night.

If you don't do it for yourself, you will be punished by heaven and earth. The brothers are very good, but he still wants to go solo.

Song Qinian was always paying attention to Gu Yu's expression and asked tentatively: "Your Highness, we will arrive in Shanling Prefecture in about a day and a half."

"Is it."

Gu Yu packed his things, didn't look at Song Qinian at all, and answered casually.

Seeing that he answered without hesitation, Song Qinian looked sharply at the pile of objects on Gu Yu's bed. He walked over:

"Your Highness, please come and help you clean up. Why do you need to do these tasks yourself?"

With that said, Song Qinian reached for the small cloth bag on the pillow. Gu Yu was a little panicked and quickly held his hand: "No, no, no, no, no, I can do it myself."

The young man who was restrained had his eyes darkened and pretended not to know anything and asked: "Is Your Highness hiding something shameful? Are you afraid that your subordinates will see it?"

"I'm not willing to show you the erotic pictures. Don't be so talkative. If you have the time, go ask Yinfeng and Xu Hai to prepare and set off later."

Song Qinian left reluctantly. When he walked to the door, he glanced at Gu Yu carefully picking up the bag and looking through the contents.

It seems that they are counting the quantities.

Well, it's a stack of banknotes.

Go to Shanlingzhou and bring all the money with you?

Song Qinian knew very well that the money was Gu Yu's lifeblood, so it would be unreasonable to take his lifeblood with him when he went out.

Are you preparing to fly away?

Song Qinian dug his fingertips into the palm of his hand, all his emotions were tangled together in his eyes. He didn't say anything, and followed the instructions of the caregiver, and went to tell others to prepare for departure.

Gu Yu didn't talk as much as the previous two days. He stayed in the carriage without saying a word and didn't know what he was planning.

In the evening, a group of people arrived at the post house. During the meal, he told everyone that the horses must be fed well and the feed should be refined.

He also said that the road was bumpy, and even the animals could not suffer the hardship.

Everyone praised His Highness the Crown Prince for having such a philanthropic mind. Only Song Qinian glanced at him coldly and silently took a bundle of hay to the manger.

Gu Yu paid special attention to Song Qinian's horse. When he saw him going to feed him, he followed him:

"Is there anything unusual about this horse today?"

The young man glanced sideways at Gu Yu, covered up the darkness in his eyes, and replied respectfully: "No, Your Highness, Tayun's body has always been in good health."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Gu Yu nodded and prepared to leave with his hands behind his back. The cold voice of the young man behind him sounded:

"Why is Your Highness so concerned about the horses today?"

Gu Yu's back stiffened and he turned his head: "Isn't it normal to be concerned about it? Even if it is someone else's livestock, why can't they eat better if they send us to such a far place?"

Perhaps Song Qinian's expression was too serious, giving Gu Yusheng the illusion that he knew everything.

But the next second, the boy burst into a smile, bright and sunny, and little stars lit up in his eyes.

"Your Highness is as loving and forgiving as they say."

Gu Yu raised his back teeth and looked at Song Qinian's smile in a daze.

My heart skipped a beat, and I didn't know why.

"They're all just false names, don't worry about them."

"Your Highness is humble. Your Highness is such a good person and deserves such praise."

Gu Yu always felt that something was wrong with Song Qinian, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. His eyes were still bright. This child couldn't hide anything in front of him. Could it be that he was thinking too much?

Night soon fell.

The moon was high outside, and Gu Yu didn't know what time it was. Anyway, women's subtle moans could be heard from other rooms in the inn, but they were quiet now.

There was not a trace of sound around. I guess everyone had gone to sleep after traveling all day.

Only then did Gu Yu stand up and tiptoe. He didn't take anything else but his small cloth bag, opened the door and walked out.

Every step was taken carefully, for fear of disturbing someone and affecting his escape plan.

Fortunately, no one called him or stopped him until he walked out of the inn.

He walked through the darkness and came to the manger, untied the reins of Taiyun, and took it out of the stable. Just as he stepped on it, ready to slip away without anyone noticing, there was a sound behind him. A gloomy voice:

"Your Highness, where are you going at this late hour?"

Like a machine in disrepair, Gu Yu stiffened his neck and turned his head. He saw the young man standing not far away under the moonlight, holding a bundle of feed, and just looking at him for a moment.

"I......"

Now that we have reached this point, there is no point in hiding it anymore.

"I'm sorry, kid, I have to leave. You will all be well... in the future."
