He's just a stand-in

At Xu time that night, Liu Huaiqiu disguised himself as a woman and followed Xian Wang to Gu Lichuan's mansion.

Gu Lichuan sat on the grand teacher's chair, gently lifted Liu Huaiqiu's chin expressionlessly, and said lightly, "Such a stunning beauty really made the virtuous king lose his mind."

With a sullen face, Liu Huaiqiu glared at Gu Lichuan with great reluctance.

He looked like he was being bullied.

The Xian Wang tightly held the folding fan in his hand, forced a smile and said, "Where is it? I heard that the three ignorant brothers sent by the third brother a few days ago made you unhappy, the second brother."

"It so happened that I found this beauty again, so I thought of sending it to you, Brother Wang, to make you happy."

"It's really good." Gu Lichuan squeezed the hand under Liu Huaiqiu's chin, slowly moved it up, touched Liu Huaiqiu's face a few times, and then sent him away.

Turning his head to the Xian Wang, he said with a smile: "Let the Xian Wang give up his mind, I will accept this beauty."

"The pear blossom drunk you asked me for last time, I'll let you bring some back later."

Xian Wang finally let go of half of his heart, pretended to be happy and said: "Haha, as expected, Brother Er Wang understands me."

Gu Lichuan snorted coldly, pretended to be angry and said, "I don't know you yet? Can you be so kind as to send me a beauty?"

"Take your pear blossoms and get drunk."

"Since that's the case, I've got what I want, so I won't disturb Brother Wang's good deeds."

While talking, King Xian cast a glance at Liu Huaiqiu who was kneeling on the ground, with an ambiguous look on his face.

Without further ado, he backed out.

Liu Huaiqiu didn't go too far from the beginning to the end.

After the virtuous king left, Gu Lichuan raised Liu Huaiqiu's jaw again, but this time he was not as gentle as a general.

Gu Lichuan's deep eyes are full of coldness, making people dare not look at him.

"Beauty is beautiful, but I think you must have heard the saying that a beauty is unlucky."

Liu Huaiqiu turned his head, stubbornly wanting to escape from Gu Lichuan's hold, tightly shut his mouth, and didn't answer.

Before making this decision, he had already thought about how to deal with Gu Lichuan.

Gu Lichuan has a high position and authority, is ruthless and cold-blooded, even though there are countless beauties around him, no one should dare to offend Gu Lichuan.

To attract Gu Lichuan's attention, one must be surprised.

He is gambling.

Gu Lichuan looked at Liu Huaiqiu who was silent, suddenly sneered, and continued: "Don't talk? It seems that coming to the palace is not what you wanted?"

"Is this king's fifth younger brother persecuting you?"

"Yes." Liu Huaiqiu's voice was already slender, and with his deliberate disguise, it was no different for women.

"Interesting." After Gu Lichuan sneered, he asked again, "Why don't you want to?"

Not to be outdone, Liu Huaiqiu met Gu Lichuan's icy gaze, and replied: "If you don't want to, you just don't want to. This servant thinks, no one is willing to serve a cruel and heartless master who treats human life like nothing."

The moment he met Liu Huaiqiu's eyes, Gu Lichuan paused.

It wasn't until Liu Huaiqiu's voice sounded again that Gu Lichuan came back to his senses, and continued: "You say I'm cruel? Treat human life like nothing?"

"Isn't it? The beauties sent to Prince Duan's mansion can't live for more than three days. Doesn't that explain the situation?"

Ever since Gu Lichuan saw a familiar figure in Liu Huaiqiu's eyes, he has been staring at those eyes.

Even though Liu Huaiqiu's words were rude, Gu Lichuan did not get angry, nor did he make things difficult for Liu Huaiqiu.

Gu Lichuan stared at Liu Huaiqiu's eyes for a while, then let go of Liu Huaiqiu's jaw, and stood up from the grand master's chair.

Called: "Xuanying."

A man in black appeared in front of Gu Lichuan in an instant, and said respectfully, "My lord."

"Well, send this beauty sent by King Xian to the side room of the side hall."

"Yes." Xuanying stood up and walked up to the kneeling Liu Huaiqiu, pulled Liu Huaiqiu up and walked out.

-

The next day, a man in Tsing Yi looked at Gu Lichuan amusedly and said:

"I heard that King Xian sent you a beauty yesterday? What reason are you going to find to execute her this time?"

Thinking of yesterday, Gu Lichuan sneered: "Execution? You didn't hear what she said yesterday. This king's reputation outside can be said to be cruel and heartless."

"How dare you execute him so easily?"

The man in Tsing Yi asked again: "Then what are you going to do?"

Gu Lichuan erased those eyes from his mind, and said lightly: "Leave it alone, I don't care about her now."

"What's more, I also want to know why they send people here again and again, knowing that they will not survive three days."

"That's right." The man in Tsing Yi nodded thoughtfully, then raised his head again, surprised and said: "It can't be that beauty is too beautiful, you don't want to kill him?"

Gu Lichuan turned his head and gave the man in Tsing Yi a hard look.

The man in Tsing Yi immediately covered his mouth with a fan.

Unexpectedly, Gu Lichuan said again: "You are right, it is indeed beautiful."

Especially those eyes.

The man in Tsing Yi immediately dropped his fan in shock. "ah?"

-

"My lord, what you want." Xuanying knelt in front of Gu Lichuan, holding a porcelain bottle in both hands.

Gu Lichuan got up, took the porcelain bottle in his hand, and played with it casually, "What's the matter with the guy in the wing room recently?"

Xuan Ying said respectfully: "Going back to the prince, there is no movement except for eating the food delivered on weekdays."

"Well, go down, I'll meet her today."

What Gu Lichuan asked Xuanying to bring back for him was "skin-melting water", as the name suggests, it is water that melts human skin.

He wanted to see who it was on that fake leather face.

He knew that that person was on his third brother Kang Wang's team, but he still couldn't believe that that person would come to his house disguised as a man and a woman to inquire about news for Kang Wang.

Maybe he was thinking too much, but he still wanted to get a clear result.

After all, the familiarity of those eyes frightened him.

If it wasn't for that person, perhaps she could be spared for the sake of those eyes.

in the case of……

If it is that person, what should he do?

Gu Lichuan didn't dare to think about it.

……

Liu Huaiqiu stayed in the wing room Xuanying arranged for him for several days, but no one came to see him.

Finally, he couldn't sit still anymore, and was about to try his best to find Gu Lichuan to inquire about the situation.

There were footsteps outside the door.

He immediately stopped what he was doing, sat down, and stared at the door.

The door was pushed open, and Gu Lichuan walked in.

Gu Lichuan waved his hand, and the door was closed again, leaving only Gu Lichuan and Liu Huaiqiu in the huge room.

No one spoke, and the silence in the room was a little scary.

Liu Huaiqiu looked at Gu Lichuan expressionlessly, and was the first to break the silence, "Your Highness is planning to kill me?"

Gu Lichuan smiled, and sat next to Liu Huaiqiu, "How can I be willing?"

"I haven't had such a stunning beauty yet, so how could I be willing to kill her so soon?"

Gu Lichuan stretched out his hand, and gently wiped Liu Huaiqiu's cheek with his thumb that had been wiped with "Huapi Water".

The thumb turned black in an instant, and when Gu Lichuan saw the result, his hand suddenly stopped, and his deep eyes were stained with a layer of sadness.
