Consort he can't

Li Jingzhao went straight to the Green Bamboo Building.

Standing at the gate of Lvzhulou, Gu Chen's heart turned cold for the most part.

What Li Jingzhao said was to bring him to find Shen Xuan.Sisi also said that Shen Xuan is in the Green Bamboo Building.

So...was it really Li Jingzhao who sent people here?

This is his first time to the Green Bamboo House.

This place is one south and one north of Chunxiangyuan, and it looks like a fighting arena.It is rumored that the Green Bamboo Building is the property of His Royal Highness Zhaoren, which is why it has developed so rapidly in just a few years.

If Gu Chen would gossip before, but now he is full of what Li Jingzhao said just now, and he has no time to worry about other rumors.

It has been a long time since the lighting time, the green bamboo building is bustling, the upstairs and downstairs are very noisy, colorful lanterns are hung on the beams of the house, and the hall smells of powder and incense, and the eyes are full of silk and satin .

Li Jingzhao didn't say a word to Gu Chen all the way, now that he entered the green bamboo building, he still didn't say a word, led him through the crowd, and went straight up the stairs.

Gu Chen didn't speak, and followed him upstairs.

Li Jingzhao walked into a room with no lights on, and there was a small wooden sign at the door, on which was written the name of the receptionist—Mr. Shen.

Gu Chen's heart skipped a beat, but he followed in.

There was a strange smell in the room, all the furniture was available, and it looked no different from other rooms, except that no one was seen.

Gu Chen hesitated for a moment, and asked, "What do you mean by bringing me here...?"

"Don't worry, wait until I do a trick for you, it's not a loss for you to come with me in the middle of the night."

After Li Jingzhao finished speaking, he unhurriedly took a torch from the side cabinet and lit the candles on the table one by one.

Once there is light, Gu Chen can see the furnishings in the room more clearly.

There was no one on the bed, the bed curtains were rolled up, and everything else was similar to other rooms, except that he saw a small clean basin on the ground beyond the table.

"I……"

"Crash-"

He was about to speak when he heard a voice from beside the bed.

Gu Chen looked at Li Jingzhao——he was standing far away from the window, slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and made a "shh" gesture with his hand to his lips.

Gu Chen only felt that Li Jingzhao was smiling with an indescribable evil spirit.

But before he could say anything, he was taken aback by the person he saw next, or what he didn't know if it could still be considered a person.

"Is your highness coming... is it your highness?"

The person who just came out crawled out from under the bed. He opened his eyes and went straight to the candle beside the table. While calling His Highness, he climbed to the wooden plate that Gu Chen had just seen and sniffed it familiarly. , probably because he didn't smell the food, he shook his head in a panic and started calling His Highness again.

Gu Chen turned his head stiffly.

Li Jingzhao was very satisfied with his reaction, raised his chin and said to him: "Yes, it is exactly what you think, this is Shen Xuan."

Gu Chen was almost speechless in horror.

"Where are you, Your Highness? Your Highness? Your Highness, I know I was wrong—Your Highness——"

His voice became more impatient.

Most of Shen Xuan's appearance was almost ruined, only a rope was tied to his hair, he crawled all over the ground in pajamas, his hands and feet were unnaturally placed to the sides, and he only relied on his knees and elbows when moving.

Even so, Gu Chen could easily find no less than ten scars on his hands and face, most of which were whip wounds, and even some burns.

After a long time without getting a response, he began to crawl around, calling "Your Highness" incessantly, and finally touched Gu Chen's side, knelt and crawled next to his feet and called for Your Highness, not at all recognizable as Tanhualang's grace.

Now it seems that his eyes and ears are not very good.

Gu Chen involuntarily took a step back.

"Your Highness—Your Highness? Your Highness—"

Gu Chen took a step back, Shen Xuan couldn't catch the corner of his clothes, a little panicked, and started spinning around in place.

The sound of clattering rang out again.

Only then did Gu Chen lower his head and see that there was an iron chain on his body that was as thick as a finger, which was the source of the rattling sound he heard before.

Seeing that Shen Xuan was not in the right mood, he had no choice but to comfort him: "I am not Your Highness Zhaoren, I..."

Shen Xuan raised his head, squinting his eyes to see clearly the figure of the person in front of him.But when he really saw Gu Chen's appearance clearly, he flinched a bit, and hurriedly backed away.

10

Gu Chen was so oppressed by the situation in the room that he couldn't stay any longer.

He glanced at Shen Xuan on the ground and Li Jingzhao who was hanging high by the window, and slowly exited the room.

11

"Your Highness—Your Highness!!!"

Li Jingzhao followed and walked out, ignoring the people in the room.

There was no one in the corridor, so Li Jingzhao pushed the opposite room away, "Come here—"

He only walked to the door and refused to move: "Shen Xuan is really you..."

Li Jingzhao stroked the ornaments in the room casually, "Yes, it is indeed me, and your little Qingmei is indeed right."

"What about the epidemic?!"

"What do you think?"

"you--"

"I can't love him so I imprisoned Shen Xuan here, and made him feel worse than death. Naturally, I can do this kind of thing to get myself out of the cold palace—" Li Jingzhao sneered, "Isn't it?"

12

"But he..." When Gu Chen spoke, he realized that his voice was unbearably hoarse. He swallowed for a while before he managed to speak out, "Li Jingzhao...how did you become such a person..."

Obviously when I was young, I would be happy for a long time because of a slightly kind word from others.

Li Jingzhao asked curiously, "Why, what kind of person do you think I am?"

Gu Chen clenched his fists, feeling the blood in his mouth, "At least, it's not such a person—"

"Isn't that the kind of person who gives porridge and worships Buddha?" He changed his posture and looked at him, "Some people like to pray to gods and worship Buddha when they are suffering, but I'm not that kind of person, Gu Huaiyu ——I just want to see others suffer, but seeing them suffer makes me happy..."

Gu Chen looked at each word and said, "Li, Jing, Zhao, how did you become such a person?"

"Gu Huaiyu, I am a catastrophe from the sky. I was born to be spurned by others. Otherwise, do you think that Princess Zhaoren has come to this day because of her good looks and cleverness, huh?"

"But that's human life—Li Jingzhao, how can you use human life to pave the way for yourself! The people who died in the epidemic may have been fathers, mothers, or children. How could you, how could you have the heart—"

"Why," he didn't look up, and played with the small wine cup in his hand from the beginning to the end, "Si Tianjian said that I am the fate of a lone star, so I am not allowed to create a fortune of prosperity?"

"Gu Huaiyu, I've never been the kind of kid who waits for someone to save me after being injured—no matter how terrible the means are, I'll come out too, you see—no matter how dissatisfied you are with my actions, don't you still have to do things for me?"

Li Jingzhao's casual appearance immediately angered Gu Chen: "You—"

13

Li Jingzhao was almost forcing him to speak.

Because of his anger, he felt like his heart was about to jump out even though he was separated by a layer of flesh and blood.

"That's also because you arrested Wenren and the others! Li Jingzhao, I don't want Jiu Xialuo anymore—you let Wenren and Qingxing go, and I'll leave now, so His Highness won't be in the way!"

"Tsk, it's a pity," Li Jingzhao shrugged, "It's not possible now, you finally got into the Sitianjian, and you have to do something for me."

"Okay, you promise me, I will help you with this matter, and you will let him go—"

He raised his eyebrows: "Okay."

14

Gu Chen couldn't wait for a moment, and after hearing his reply, he turned around and left.

"Ah, I suddenly remembered something else, I'm really sorry," he heard Li Jingzhao's sneering voice behind him: "I have to trouble my son-in-law to accompany me to Yanzhou—"

15

After Gu Chen walked for a long time, Sixi came out from nowhere.

He watched Li Jingzhao sitting there motionless, and sighed, "Your Highness, why are you bothering?"

Li Jingzhao still remained silent.

It took a while before he put down the small wine glass in his hand, "Sixi, look, Si Tianjian must have said something right, I was born to be lonely forever..."

16

Sixi couldn't hear him saying this kind of thing the most, so she reached out and took away his wine glass, "Bah, bah, I think you are very good, but your mouth is so unforgiving, don't talk about one son-in-law, ten is not enough for you It's a waste of your ability to piss people off if you don't scold the enemy, scolding him for vomiting blood and dying—"

Li Jingzhao: "..."

The epidemic must not be spread by Xiao Li, but today is also a day when Xiao Li does not speak human words——
