The fake daughter of a fallen ghost is reborn

Xue Zhiyi widened his eyes and glanced outside, as if asking Huo Wuyou who was coming.

Huo Wuyou just looked alert and shook his head.

Xue Zhiyi's mouth and nose were feeling a little uncomfortable, so she raised her hand to try to move Huo Wuyou's hand away, but the movement of raising her hand caused her elbow to hit the bookcase behind her.

Such a noise startled the two of them. In their panic, she stepped on Huo Wuyou's foot, lost her balance, and almost fell to the ground.

Fortunately, a large hand supported her waist and Huo Wuyou held her steadily. She subconsciously grabbed his collar.

In an instant, they were just feet away from each other.

The two looked at each other and could almost feel each other's breath like feathers falling on each other's faces.

Somehow, Xue Zhiyi felt that Huo Wuyou's eyes were filled with undisguised joy, as if he was enjoying the moment very much.

At this time, a eunuch seemed to say outside: "Your Highness, you left something here. Just tell the servants to find it. Why bother you to come back again?"

The one called His Highness said, "It's okay. It's still early and I have nothing to do."

It’s Gu Shichong.

Why is he back?

Xue Zhiyi stood on tiptoe, letting her voice fall into Huo Wuyou's ears. She almost said with her breath: "I'll lead him away."

Just as she was about to leave, the hand on her waist tightened a little, making her almost pressed against him.

"Let me go." Huo Wuyou said.

Xue Zhiyi was stunned, but saw Huo Wuyou took out a small porcelain bottle from his sleeve and stuffed it into her hand without saying a word.

At this distance, they could clearly hear each other talking, but Huo Wuyou seemed to do it on purpose. He moved closer until his lips were almost touching Xue Zhiyi's earlobe, then he slowly said, "Take it, protect yourself, I'm leaving first."

The warm breath slowly hit her ears, and Huo Wuyou gently pinched her waist again, and only let go after doing this.

Huo Wuyou's voice was a little hoarse: "Just a reminder, your face is so red."

Suddenly, Xue Zhiyi felt his head burning hot.

Looking at her blushing face, Huo Wuyou chuckled and left with satisfaction.

Xue Zhiyi held her dizzy head. She was a little dazed, and her heart still felt numb.

At this moment, the voices of Huo Wuyou and Gu Shichong could be heard outside.

Gu Shichong asked in surprise: "Why is my cousin here?"

Huo Wuyou said, "I came all the way here to look for my cousin. I always have a hard time answering my uncle's questions. I'm afraid I've upset him again. I want to ask my cousin to say a few good words for me."

"My cousin thinks highly of me." Gu Shichong asked again, "Did my cousin meet anyone in the library?"

"Where did he come from? I was the only one here. I had to look for him for a long time before I found him. I almost thought I was too late. But he was so patient that he could stay in such a boring place like the library for such a long time. I guess his confinement was not too painful."

Suddenly, he asked with concern: "What happened to your cousin's leg?"

Gu Shichong laughed dryly: "Nothing, nothing..."

It was not until the two of them left that Xue Zhiyi realized it belatedly and raised his hand to gently stroke his turbulent heartbeat.

Damn it, I was teased by him again.

……

There is no time to lose, Xue Zhiyi has important matters to deal with.

She put away the things Huo Wuyou gave her and returned to the imperial garden.

A banquet was held today to entertain the Northern Di envoys, and many princes, ministers and their families were invited to attend. In the afternoon, many people had already arrived in the Imperial Garden.

When Xue Zhiyi arrived, Shen Qingtang was already strolling in the Imperial Garden. Seeing Xue Zhiyi, his bored face suddenly showed joy: "Zhiyi!"

She trotted over with her skirt lifted up. She hadn't seen Xue Zhiyi for some time and missed him very much. Now that they met, she was overjoyed.

"Zhiyi, how have you been these days?" She took Xue Zhiyi for a walk, and was relieved to see that she was safe and sound.

Taking advantage of the fact that Xue Zhiyi had nothing to do at the moment, Shen Qingtang pulled her aside to chat for a while.

Elsewhere, a woman was seen wearing a gorgeous dress made of gold brocade. She had a bright and elegant face, her black hair was tied into a bun, and she wore a hairpin in the middle of the bun. The tassels were made of dozens of plump and round pearls, hanging down like a pearl curtain, just covering her forehead.

Ge Yuanhui was talking to a few ladies. The experience at the last banquet had ruined her reputation. Even though the emperor had regained favor with the Ge family, the ladies who used to follow her around no longer treated her with the same fawning attitude as before. Some of them even dared to make fun of the tassels she used to cover her scars.

You really don’t know how to live or die!

Although Ge Yuanhui was smiling, his eyes lacked the former brilliance and were filled with a bit of stiff fatigue. Especially when he saw Xue Zhiyi's attack, his eyes seemed to be oozing with poison, so sinister and vicious that it was frightening.

Zhao Lian also noticed Shen Qingtang and Xue Zhiyi. She smiled sarcastically, "She is General Shen's daughter. She always hangs out with such lowly people. She has become rude and noisy. It's true that bad company breeds badness."

Xue Zhiyi was seen talking to Shen Qingtang, but her hair bun had become loose and a gardenia hairpin had fallen off.

Shen Qingtang caught it quickly: "That was a close call. If it had fallen to the ground, it would have broken into pieces."

Suddenly, she looked at the jade hairpin and said, "This hairpin looks very valuable, but which master gave it to you?"

Unexpectedly, Xue Zhiyi's face suddenly turned red, and he quickly took the hairpin back from Shen Qingtang's hand, holding it carefully in his hand, his eyes a little evasive: "No... It's not a reward from anyone."

Seeing this, Shen Qingtang narrowed his eyes with a wicked smile on his face: "Tell me quickly, who gave it to you? Is it..."

Before Huo Wuyou could even utter the three words, Xue Zhiyi interrupted him: "No, no!"

Shen Qingtang immediately understood: "You still say it's not, but I think it is! Okay Zhiyi, why are you hiding this from me too?"

Seeing Xue Zhiyi still blushing, she hurriedly asked: "When did he give it to you? Hairpins are not something you can give away casually. I'm telling you..."

Xue Zhiyi didn't wait for her to finish, and smiled: "I won't talk to you anymore, I still have work to do, I'm leaving first."

After saying that, he left quickly.

Shen Qingtang guessed it was Huo Wuyou, but not Ge Yuanhui.

The smile on her face was completely frozen, and that pretty face looked like a cracked porcelain that would break at the slightest touch.

Looking at Xue Zhiyi's departing back, she clenched her hands so tightly that her nails almost broke.

She thought bitterly: So what if my cousin Prince Gong likes this bitch? Anyway - this bitch is going to die soon!

……

Looking at the hairpin in his hand, the tenderness and shyness in Xue Zhiyi's eyes were no longer there.

Her goal should have been achieved. Next, she just needs to wait for those people to take action.

She walked along the narrow palace road towards Jianzhang Palace.

But just as she passed a secluded corner, in a flash, a hand suddenly covered her mouth.

The man held a piece of cloth in his hand, and the strong, pungent smell suddenly entered Xue Zhiyi's mouth and nose, causing her body to soften and her consciousness to blur...
