Quick Wear: Don't come over here, you are looking for trouble

Qi Xiuran was guarding outside. He wasn't asleep and was listening with his ears perked up. He heard a faint whimpering sound. It was the little master crying.

The palace is a place that eats people. In fact, he knows that once you enter, it will be difficult to get out unless you die.

How did Gu Nian get in? Maybe she was captured?

he does not know.

Just listening to the crying inside, he felt very heartbroken.

……

When Su Shi returned, he ran into Duan Rong. Seeing that he was still wearing his nightgown, Duan Rong couldn't help but tease him, "Ah, are you going to be a thief?"

Su Shi said nothing. He went into the house and poured himself a cup of tea. "Duan Rong, if we can't get the Gu family's jade, how long can we last?"

"Are you crazy?" Duan Rong stared at him in disbelief, repeatedly checking the expression on Su Shi's face, "Didn't we agree long ago that you get the jade from Gu Nian and I'll find a foreign seller to sell it at a high price? Now that the seller has been finalized, you tell me you can't get the jade?" He stamped his feet and couldn't help shouting, "The current situation can't last more than two months! Even the servants can't eat!"

"Then don't eat it."

After drinking the water, Su Shi stopped talking and went straight to his room.

Duan Rong was choked and speechless. Su Shi said these two sentences so quickly that he couldn't even tell whether they were sincere or a joke. He simply waved his hand and ignored him.

……

The young master who lived in the side hall regained his favor.

Shen Yan was very angry after hearing about this. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand fiercely, thinking that the vixen must have used some dirty tricks, otherwise why would His Majesty suddenly stop coming to her when he was so in love with her a few days ago?

So she picked noon and came with a large group of people. She was very dislikeful along the way. She was sitting in the sedan chair, but she was picky about everything.

"Look, this ground is so dilapidated, why hasn't it been repaired yet?"

"This flower has faded. It is indeed not as beautiful as the one in front of this palace."

"It's so dark and gloomy on this road even at noon, what will happen at night?"

There are some things that cannot be said, but Shen Yan didn't know it, and even boasted loudly. She felt even more proud when she saw the palace maids and eunuchs beside her lowering their heads in fear.

Xiao Tao saw Shen Yan's sedan chair first. The wound on her face had not yet healed. When she saw Shen Yan coming, she shivered involuntarily, and then quickly went to Xu Bai to report.

In just a short while, they broke in, looking very aggressive. As soon as Shen Yan came in, she stared at Xu Bai. She was originally jealous of how a man could gain favor, but after seeing him, she turned into anger.

Gu Nian's appearance is indeed good-looking. Even though she is sickly all year round, she is still a fragile beauty with no flaws. Any man will feel pity for her as long as he looks at her.

Shen Yan just wanted to destroy that face.

Her father was a businessman and made a fortune by chance. Later, he donated part of the money to buy an official position and started his career in politics.

Shen Yan is the eldest daughter. She has been spoiled and has a high opinion of herself since childhood. Now she is not satisfied with being a concubine. Her goal is to become the queen. So when she hears that someone has stolen her limelight, she is eager to teach them a lesson.

"This is the 'Young Master', right? He is indeed very handsome."

Shen Yan's gaze made people feel uncomfortable, but Xu Bai still bowed to her according to the rules, "Madam."

Shen Yan was originally trying to demonstrate, so no matter how polite Xu Bai was, it was useless. She stared at Xu Bai without asking him to get up. After a while, she rolled her eyes, her rouge-painted lips bright red, "Dian Cui."

"This is the snack our queen brought for us. Please try it, young master."

Food in the palace cannot be eaten casually. Xu Bai knew this, but he was a little hesitant and didn't know how to refuse, because the palace maid named Diancui was holding the dessert plate, and she obviously looked like "I won't put down the dessert plate unless you eat it."

The young master pursed his lips and reached out to take the piece closest to him with determination.

Qi Xiuran couldn't wait any longer, he rushed over and pretended to take the plate from Dian Cui's hand, "Let me help you serve it to you, young master!"

Before he could finish his words, he loosened his hands suddenly, and the plate of snacks fell to the ground with a "bang". The snacks rolled and all spilled out.

"Hey you!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" The young eunuch bowed his head to the ground and admitted his mistake in a panic, "Your Majesty, please forgive me! I dropped the snack by mistake. I am guilty!"

"…Don't go and accept your punishment yet."

Xu Bai knew that he was helping him, so he hurried down the slope, pretending to be frightened, holding his chest and gasping for breath, looking like a completely cowardly and incompetent waste.

Shen Yan covered her mouth and took a few steps back as if she was afraid of being contaminated by dirt. Diancui supported her. The two looked at each other and decided to let the matter go for now. Then Diancui stormed out.

"Are you alright, sir?"

Xiaotao was indignant and asked Caiyun to clean up the floor.

Xu Bai shook his head, thinking of the little eunuch who had gone out to "receive punishment", "...Where is Xiao Dezi? Let him come in."

Qi Xiuran came in with his body hunched.

"You all go down."

Xu Bai still believed in him. Just because he was able to defend himself from Shen Yan's blame, he was definitely not a dog slave who would betray his master for fame and fortune.

Qi Xiu Ran was still hunched over. When he saw Xu Baili left him alone to talk, his heart began to beat fast. He was wondering if the boy had finally recognized him.

Xu Bai moved closer to him and realized that the man in front of him was very tall, with his head bent and looking very respectful.

"Xiao Dezi?"

Qi Xiuran agreed.

After Xu Bai came closer, he smelled a little fragrance, very faint. Even though he called his pseudonym, Qi Xiuran still broke out in a sweat.

Xu Bai: [He is quite cute. ]

"You..." Xu Bai pursed his lips. He thought the eunuch was afraid of being punished, so he comforted him unskillfully, "Don't be afraid, I won't punish you... I just want to thank you for helping me today."

He took a bracelet from the box and handed it to me, "This is for you."

It turned out that he didn't recognize himself.

Qi Xiuran raised his head slightly, looked around to make sure there was no one around before daring to take a step forward.

Xu Bai was startled by him. The man standing upright was half a head taller than him, so he subconsciously stepped back.

"It's me." Qi Xiuran whispered. He stared at the young master's face almost greedily. He had grown up and was more beautiful, but his health was not good. Maybe he had suffered a lot.

Xu Bai was still in a daze, Qi Xiuran naturally reached out and touched his hair, "We were best friends when we were little." He blushed for a moment, "I promised that I would marry you when I grow up."

This time the young master remembered!

"You!" He looked at Qi Xiuran's clothes again, "You are the elder brother of the Qi family, but what about you? How--"

"I've been looking for you." Qi Xiuran was very happy to be recognized. He held Xu Bai's hand and said, "How are you? I was just trying my luck, but I actually found you!"

"Did you come here specially to see me?"

The boy's eyes were frozen with tears, like a child who had finally found his home, he couldn't stop sobbing softly, "Thank you, uh... Thank you for coming to find me..."

It turned out that there was someone who cared about him so much. Seeing him crying, Qi Xiuran was really at a loss. He hurriedly hugged him in his arms and stammered incoherently to comfort him, "I know, you've had a hard time these years, haven't you? It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, Xiao Gu, Nian Nian... I'll take you away. I came here just to take you away."
