The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

The library contains almost all the classics of Dayong and various countries, as well as many original manuscripts from past dynasties. There are many bookshelves in the library, and it is very quiet on weekdays.

After listening to the emperor's questions with great trepidation, Huo Wuyou hurried here and searched everywhere before he finally heard a faint voice in one of the library rooms.

He slowed down his pace, and his feet, which had been trained in martial arts, landed almost silently. Under the cover of the bookshelf, he quietly approached the source of the sound.

Sure enough, he saw Gu Shichong's back, and he seemed to be talking to someone at the moment.

The other person was a woman, wearing the clothes of a palace maid. Although she was a little far away and blurry, Huo Wuyou would never mistake her for someone else.

For a moment, he almost couldn't control himself and wanted to punch the bookshelf, then rush up to beat Gu Shichong up.

He saw Xue Zhiyi talking to Gu Shichong at the moment. Few people came here. They came here to meet secretly, but Gu Shichong had coveted her...

Huo Wuyou's eyes turned red with anxiety, and he could only repeatedly remind himself in his heart: Zhiyi must have her reasons for doing this, and he must not ruin her plans. He must control himself, control himself...

But this is too close!

Zhiyi even laughed!

Her smile was truly heart-warming, but...what was so funny about her and Gu Shichong!

Huo Wuyou was so annoyed that he almost banged his head against the wall.

He squatted quietly at the window until Gu Shichong left, watching Gu Shichong's back as he left. He casually broke off a branch by the window, and with a flick of his fingertips, he hit Gu Shichong's knee firmly, causing him to fall to the ground.

Although it's not enough to relieve my anger, at least I feel a little better.

But Xue Zhiyi's voice suddenly rang out from behind him: "Lin'an Hou is so boring."

Huo Wuyou turned around and saw Xue Zhiyi looking at him as if he was looking at a three-year-old naughty boy.

He was still angry, so he just walked forward with his arms folded, and said sinisterly: "Why? Can't I beat him?"

He walked up to Xue Zhiyi. The distance between the bookshelves was not very big. He just turned sideways and almost put Xue Zhiyi between him and the bookshelf, with nowhere to go.

He sighed and tilted his head to look at Xue Zhiyi in front of him: "I don't know who it is, but he said he had something to tell me and asked me to meet him at the library, but he also asked another man to meet him at the same time."

He raised his hand and poked Xue Zhiyi's head: "Even if we want to meet in private, isn't it a bit too crowded with three people?"

It was obvious that he was full of jealousy, but in front of Xue Zhiyi, he was like a sour fruit, without any momentum at all.

Huo Wuyou was just feeling annoyed when he heard Xue Zhiyi say, "I have something else to do later. It just so happens that I have something to talk to you two about. To save trouble, I'll just meet you at the library. Don't worry, I've calculated the time. After I finish talking to Gu Shichong, you should be here soon."

Hearing this, Huo Wuyou almost gasped and almost laughed himself out of anger: "No, is it so blatant? Can you at least hide it from me?"

Xue Zhiyi looked at him puzzledly: "What are you hiding? I was just about to tell you what Gu Shichong told me."

With a sneer, Huo Wuyou was really angry and laughed: "You said, you laughed so happily, I want to hear what you said!"

"Gu Shichong said that he would be able to take me in soon."

"..."

After taking another breath, Huo Wuyou held his head in anger and paced back and forth in the already narrow aisle twice, unable to speak for several times.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally uttered angrily: "Why does he do that?"

Compared to his collapse, Xue Zhiyi seemed unusually calm. She put her finger on her chin and said, "Yeah, I was wondering too. He was reprimanded and just ended his confinement. He hasn't recovered yet. How could he be so sure of what he said? Now is not the right time to ask His Majesty for permission to marry me."

Huo Wuyou narrowed his eyes: "I'm afraid he has peach blossom epilepsy and started talking nonsense."

Xue Zhiyi finally couldn't stand it anymore. She was talking to him about serious matters, but his mind was full of romance. Who on earth was suffering from peach blossom madness?

She sighed exhaustedly, "I mean, Gu Shichong might have some big move that we don't know about, which will give him a great chance of winning and regain His Majesty's favor after this move."

Huo Wuyou finally came back to his senses. He blinked and said, "Yeah, could it be that he is confident that he can sabotage the peace talks so that the Ge family can continue to be valued?"

"I don't know." Xue Zhiyi shook his head: "Gu Shichong doesn't trust me that much to tell me all these things. Now he still wants to rely on me to pass on the news of Jianzhang Palace."

Huo Wuyou said slowly, "So he is seducing you now."

Okay, it's back again.

Glancing at him, Xue Zhiyi was annoyed and said, "Yes, he told me a lot of his heartfelt words. It seemed that he was really sincere."

Seeing Huo Wuyou's eyes widen, she took off the gardenia jade hairpin on her head and waved it in front of Huo Wuyou expressionlessly: "Look, he also gave me a love hairpin, isn't it pretty?"

As expected, Huo Wuyou was struck by lightning. He immediately grabbed her hand holding the hairpin and moved his body so close that it was almost touching her.

But miraculously, there was no anger on his face. Instead, he showed panic and confusion.

The sudden approach of that handsome face and the sudden body temperature made Xue Zhiyi's breathing stop for a moment.

She suddenly felt a little guilty. Why did she use this matter to provoke him? He just liked her and he didn't do anything wrong... After all, it was she who caused the peach blossom debt in the first place.

Her voice softened: "They are all fake, they are to trick him. The reason I accepted this hairpin is because it has another use."

"really?"

"Really." She said seriously, "I have never had any interest in Gu Shichong from the beginning. Even when we were engaged, I wanted to cancel it as soon as possible."

"Then kiss me."

As he spoke, he turned his head with a wronged and righteous look, and reached out to touch his cheek: "Here."

"..."

For a moment, the love and pity in Xue Zhiyi's heart disappeared into thin air.

She felt unnecessary guilt.

"I've come to tell you something important."

He still tilted his face: "How serious is it?"

"Recently, rumors about the princess have been rampant in the palace. Have you heard about it?"

Upon hearing this, almost in an instant, Huo Wuyou's frivolous and joking expression disappeared, replaced by sinister and cold expression.

Xue Zhiyi said, "I heard recently that Princess Anle and Prince Helian You of Beidi first met in the imperial garden. It can be said that they got to know each other after fighting. After that, they both had feelings for each other. The princess is very likely to marry Beidi. It is really a good story and a match made in heaven."

She said, sneering: "What do you think?"

Huo Wuyou's eyes seemed to be filled with coldness: "Not only in the palace, but even among the people, it has spread. How could I not know? Helian You is more than ten years older than A Yu. How can this be considered a good match?"

Xue Zhiyi tilted his head back, gently leaning against the bookshelf, and looked up at him: "Even if the rumor spreads, it will take time, and the princess and Helian You first met only three days ago. Even if it is a rumor, it won't spread so quickly."

Meeting her eyes, Huo Wuyou said, "Such hasty rumor-mongering will only leave a thousand loopholes. It won't take too long to find the rumor-monger."

Although there was a smile on his lips, it was as stiff as a sharp blade: "I will make this person who spread the rumor suffer the consequences."

Xue Zhiyi only sighed slightly: "There are only a few people who want to spread rumors like this to make the princess marry Beidi."

As they were talking, Xue Zhiyi suddenly felt a warmth on her lips. She widened her eyes and saw Huo Wuyou suddenly raised his hand to cover her mouth.

When he was confused, Huo Wuyou looked cold and made a gesture to keep quiet. He said softly, "Someone is coming."
