C9 You've Offended Me

Gu Xiaoxiao had already lost all her strength after leaving the empress dowager's palace. As she walked out, her entire body was soft, without the slightest trace of the domineering aura she had in the empress dowager's palace. It was as if she had become a completely different person.

Mu Zhaoyang walked beside her as he glanced at her nonchalantly. "Weren't you acting awesome just now? "In front of the empress, you look so confident that you look weak and weak. If the empress saw your current appearance, she wouldn't dare to believe you."

Gu Xiaoxiao turned around and rolled her eyes at him, "I was pulled out of bed in the morning and didn't eat anything. Other than my maidservant who gave me two pastries along the way, I didn't eat anything at all. On the other hand, don't you need to pay respects to the Emperor before you enter the palace? Or could it be that you have nothing else to do, and are just wandering around by my side? "

Gu Xiaoxiao only wanted to anger him so much that he would leave the palace and return home, but she didn't expect him to nod in a generous manner and admit, "That's right, I'm an idle person to begin with. Even the title that royal brother gave me is King Yi.

As a prince, he only cared about love and had no real power. If it was someone else, he would have been worried to death. However, Mu Zhaoyang was not ashamed, and instead felt proud. Gu Xiaoxiao was very hungry and had been tormenting herself for the whole afternoon. The wounds on her body also hurt a little. She didn't want to bother with the person beside her at all.

"Yes, yes, yes, your highness, you are the best, it is already late, the empress was busy taking care of Qi Wang and she did not keep you here to eat, you must be hungry, so go back quickly, I do not love you, I do not love you, your highness, walking with me is really lowering your status, you should hurry up and go, be good, you …"

As Gu Xiaoxiao spoke, she gave him a push and even tried to push him away after pushing him out. This time, Mu Zhaoyang was really puzzled.

"Other women would only want to stick close to me when they see me, or try to get closer to me. Why are you so impatient to get rid of me now that you're here?"

There was actually a man who was so narcissistic? Gu Xiaoxiao was about to roll her eyes. "I don't believe you if you say that. There must be someone who's afraid of getting closer to you, like me. I am." "Your Highness, are you leaving?" If you don't leave, I'll leave first. I'm really tired. Goodbye, I won't see you again. Next time, when I see you, I'll hide and leave. "Think about it, if I see you, it won't be good. If you're not reneging on the engagement, then you were almost cut by the empress. I'll be leaving first, it's more important to keep my life."

With that, Gu Xiaoxiao cupped her hands together and ran off. It wasn't easy for him to reach the entrance of the royal palace, and his entire body froze in shock.

The palanquin … Gone …

Mu Zhaoyang walked over unhurriedly. Gu Xiaoxiao was not surprised to see him in a daze, so she just let out a slow sigh. Then, she patted the nonexistent dust off of her body slowly and tidied up her clothes. Finally, she took the reins from the guard's hands, jumped onto her horse, and left in a cloud of dust.

Gu Xiaoxiao: "…"

Very good! Mu Zhaoyang, I'll remember you!

The distance from the palace to the Marquis' Mansion wasn't that far, only a quarter of an hour if she rode a horse. But Gu Xiaoxiao didn't have a horse, so when she finally got home, it was already completely dark. Even here, Xiao Lian still couldn't make up her mind to find someone to bring her back.

Mrs. Zhao was almost dragged home by Little Lian. When she saw Gu Xiaoxiao like this, she immediately cried. "Child, my poor child!"

She hugged Gu Xiaoxiao as she cried. She remembered that Gu Xiao had just returned from the palace, so she quickly told Xiao Lian to bring the food and medicine over. She then asked another round of questions. Although Xiao Lian only brought two steamed buns in the end, Gu Xiaoxiao still wolfed down the food and drank half a pot of cold water before recovering her strength.

"Mom, don't worry. From tomorrow onwards, no one will dare to bully us anymore. I will take back everything that belongs to us little by little. I swear!" Gu Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up as she regained her composure, leaving Mrs Zhao and Xiaolian dumbfounded.

After an entire day of tossing and turning, Little Lian and Mrs Zhao were unable to sleep, but Gu Xiaoxiao quickly fell asleep, until she was awakened by the sound of knocking on the door the next morning.

"He's actually still sleeping? He's really magnanimous. What, when was he driven out of the palace last night?" I had originally thought that you would directly die in the Imperial Palace, but who would have thought that you would actually be lucky enough to escape! "

Gu An An stood by the door, her face filled with hatred as she looked at Gu Xiaoxiao, who was still lying on the bed.

"That's what you think. I'm sorry to disappoint you."

After some sleep, Gu Xiaoxiao was now full of energy. Even Gu An'an who had broken into the door felt much better. She stretched lazily and sat up from the bed, while Gu Xiaoxiao stretched her muscles and bones.

"If you have something to say, then say it quickly. If you have nothing to say, then hurry up and leave. I have something to do right now. If you delay my business, then I'm afraid you won't be able to take responsibility."

Gu An An's eyes widened as if he'd seen a ghost. "You have something I can't afford?" The marriage has already been messed up by you and you no longer have any value. Let me tell you, even if I kill you here, there's nothing I can't take on! "

Gu An harrumphed coldly. With a wave of his hand, the two maidservants behind him moved forward to arrest him. However, Gu Xiaoxiao had the most energy in the day. She didn't even dodge, but grabbed one of the maidservants with her backhand. She turned around and threw her onto the other maidservant, causing the two of them to roll onto the ground.

"Sure enough, I still need to train my body early in the morning. This will benefit my physical and mental health." As Gu Xiaoxiao spoke, she moved her wrists and ankles closer to Gu An'an, frightening her to the point that her face paled.

"What are you doing? What are you trying to do?!" Let me warn you, if you make a move against me, father will not let you go, and the crown prince will not let you go either. "

"Crown Prince?" Gu Xiaoxiao stopped in her tracks, as if she had just remembered someone.

However, in Gu An An's eyes, she was already afraid of his actions. In an instant, she changed to a complacent expression: "Scared? Let me tell you, Brother Crown Prince has already promised me that I will be the Crown Prince's consort in the future. Even if you break the engagement, it will not affect our relationship.

Gu Xiaoxiao laughed even more triumphantly. "That's right, and the crown prince. If I hadn't said so, I would've forgotten the crown prince himself. Casting dirty water on him is also a good choice."
