The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

Su Jingning still kept her head down and said nothing. Gu Yan'an frowned and looked at her with some worry.

Suddenly, she came closer to him and her hand was grabbed by Su Jingning. She held his hand tightly, staring at the white jade Bodhi Buddha beads on his wrist without blinking, without saying a word.

Gu Yan'an smelled a faint aroma of grapefruit wine on her. Gu Yan'an's eyes were full of smiles. It turned out that she was drunk, but she seemed to have only drunk a glass of fruit wine.

Looking at the thinly dressed girl, Gu Yanan wanted to take off his cloak and give it to her, but he was pushed down by her as soon as he raised his hand. The girl didn't say anything, but just stared at the white jade bodhi beads on his wrist.

"Do you like this?" Gu Yan'an shook his wrist, unable to hide the smile in his eyes.

Su Jingning's cheeks flushed, and she looked up at Gu Yan'an and nodded like a chick pecking at rice, which was very cute. Gu Yan'an had no choice but to take off the white jade Bodhi Buddha necklace and handed it to her.

Su Jingning happily took the beads, like a child who had received a treasure, holding the beads and grinning. Gu Yanan took off his cloak and tied it on her carefully. He was relieved when he saw that she did not resist. He was really scared by her cold and stiff appearance just now.

Su Jingning put the Buddha beads on her hand, and shook them in front of him like she did just now, tilting her head and saying softly, "Beautiful!"

Gu Yan'an was touched by her cute actions, and the smile in his eyes was as warm as the spring sunshine. He followed her meaning and praised: "Beautiful, it looks best on you!"

The warm and white Buddha necklace looks gentle and beautiful on her slender porcelain-white wrist.

Su Jingning looked at Gu Yan'an's delicate and enchanting face, slowly stretched out a finger, and slowly approached the blood-red teardrop mole under the corner of his left eye.

Gu Yan'an was frozen, not daring to move. Su Jingning's white and tender little hand fell on his teardrop mole like a feather, stroking it gently, with a somewhat hazy look in her eyes.

She looked at Gu Yan'an and muttered something softly. Then she fell into Gu Yan'an's arms.

Gu Yan'an looked at the girl in his arms in disbelief, his expression filled with surprise and forbearance.

He heard clearly what she said: "Beautiful...Ayan."

There is only one person in the world who would call him like this, and that is Su Jingning when he was a child. In Jiangnan, during his most painful days like hell, it was Su Jingning who saved him. He never thought that it would be a girl younger than himself who would bring him out of hell. She was very small, but very calm and smart. She hid herself in the rice jar and led away the enemy for him.

Later, he escaped from that place, but couldn't find her. Until they met again by fate, he killed all those who were chasing him. He even disliked his horrible and bloodthirsty appearance, but she saw it. He thought she would dislike and be afraid of him, but he didn't expect that he saw surprise and heartache in her eyes.

She hid herself in a farm in the suburbs and found a doctor to treat his wounds. He lived there for half a year. The girl often came to see him, brought him delicious food, and always liked to follow him coquettishly and call him "beautiful Ayan."

Later, the girl didn't come for a long time. Then he found out that she had a severe cold, which was so severe that her life was in danger. He was afraid that the only person who cared about him would leave him. He was very anxious, but there was nothing he could do. He could only run to the temple and kneel for seven days without eating or drinking for her, praying to the Buddha not to take her away.

Fortunately, there happened to be a miracle doctor in the temple who knew what he wanted. He saved the girl and saved himself.

Later, when he knew she was well, he planned to leave quietly, but he was unexpectedly bumped into by her. After she knew his identity, she felt a little lonely, but she did not stop him. She said, "Beautiful Yan, we will see each other again, right?"

After that, they had not seen each other for five years. Until recently, when he met her again, he was filled with joy, but he saw caution and fear in her eyes when they met. He also did not hear her call him "beautiful Ah Yan" as she did when they were children. Instead, she called him by his full name or "Gu Shizi" in a distant way.

He thought he would never hear her call him like this again in his life.

Gu Yan'an sent someone to notify the Duke and his wife of Zhenguo, and then took the sleeping Su Jingning out of the palace and put her on the Su family's carriage. Su Jingning held his hand tightly and refused to let go, so he had to stay with her.

He looked at the beautiful girl who was sleeping, and his eyes, which were usually cold and dark, seemed to be as gentle as if they were cooled by water.

Thinking about what Mu Ling did today, bloodthirsty murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing the news from Gu Yan'an in the banquet hall, the Duke of Zhenguo and his wife became anxious. As the banquet was coming to an end and His Majesty had left first, they left the banquet hall early.

I saw Gu Yan'an and the sleeping Su Jingning in the carriage, and the cloak Su Jingning was wearing.

Su Jingmo realized that the eunuch had deliberately led him away. Damn it, he was careless. Fortunately, Ningning met Gu Yan'an.

"Ningning! Master Gu, what happened? How could Ningning..." The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo looked anxious. How could this child get into trouble when she was not watched for a while? The Duke of Zhenguo was also looking at his daughter worriedly.

The wife of the Duke of Zhenguo spoke a little loudly, and the sleepy Su Jingning frowned. The hand holding Gu Yan'an tightened a little. Gu Yan'an gestured to the outside of the carriage, asking them to keep their voices down and not disturb the girl.

Seeing that the girl had fallen asleep again, he carefully pulled his hand out.

Su Jingchen, who had been silent, noticed the white jade Buddha beads on Su Jingning's hand and Gu Yan'an's wrist, which was always wearing Buddha beads, but now it was empty. Shock flashed in his eyes, and he looked at Gu Yan'an with suspicion.

It is said that Prince Gu of Beiyang Palace has a taboo, and that is the white jade Buddha necklace that never leaves his wrist. He never allows anyone to touch it, not even the Prince of Beiyang. It is said that someone once accidentally touched it and he had his hand chopped off.

"Yan'an, how did you run into my sister? What's going on?" Su Jingmo and Gu Yan'an have both been in the Northern Border for many years. Both of them are brilliant young generals. Su Jingmo admires Gu Yan'an's extraordinary talent and they have fought side by side on the battlefield. Su Jingmo is one of Gu Yan'an's few good friends.

Gu Yan'an looked at the worried members of the Su family, hesitated for a moment, and told them the truth about what had just happened, only concealing the matter between himself and Su Jingning.

The more the Duke and Duchess of Zhenguo listened, the gloomier their faces became, and the anger on Su Jingmo and Su Jingchen's faces could not be hidden.

"Thank you, Master Gu, for what happened today." The Duke of Zhenguo thanked Gu Yan'an gratefully.

"It's just a small favor from me, Lord Duke. Please don't be polite." Gu Yan'an bowed.

"Amo, go tell your second uncle and the others that we'll be returning home first." The Duke of Zhenguo turned around and instructed Su Jingmo. He had been in a hurry to leave just now and didn't have time to tell them.

"Yes."

Gu Yan'an watched the carriage of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion leave, stood there for a while, looking at the snow on the palace wall in the distance, his expression gloomy.

Then he turned around, mounted his horse, and rode quickly towards the south of the city, which seemed to be the direction of Prince Ling's Mansion.
