C6 Anxiety

Liu Xiaohe seemed to have been intimidated by the ruthlessness in Gu Hongzhuang's eyes. She didn't know why, but facing this ordinary looking girl, she actually felt a bit of fear, as if … It was just like back when he was facing Gu Hongzhuang.

This thought was immediately shaken by Liu Xiao. Gu Hongzhuang was already dead. How was it possible for her to see it with her own eyes?

"I say … Originally, because of Gu Hongzhuang's appearance, she was even more popular in the Sunset Pavilion and had won the admiration of many of our guests. That day at the Courtesan Belle Competition, she was even more eye-catching, saying that Sunset had Gu Hongzhuang with her makeup on, that she was peerless in talent and talent, those men, weren't they only interested in Gu Hongzhuang's face? " Liu Xiaohe laughed sarcastically, "What do you mean by selling her skills? She is an elegant courtesan. However, who knows if she is acting so high and mighty. She doesn't put anyone in her eyes. Her body has probably been abused by many people. I remember once I saw her in bed with a man, fighting to the death... "

Gu Hongzhuang had long known about Liu Xiaohe's dissatisfaction with her. She had heard all of her words before she died. She didn't care, but she didn't expect that the only time she went overboard with Rong Fen was seen by her.

Confection Formula... Gu Hong Yan smiled bitterly.

"I'm not interested in the personal grudge between you and Gu Hongzhuang. I just want to know, where is Gu Hongzhuang's corpse?"

Liu Xiaohe was stunned, then quickly replied, "I don't know, I really don't know …" That day, although I was standing outside the door, listening to Gu Hongzhuang struggle for a short while, everyone in the house ran out, saying that Gu Hongzhuang was dead. When I went in and saw that her breathing had stopped, I panicked and ran away without looking back. After we went back, I felt uneasy as I was afraid that the corpse would be found, so I had to find a few men to bury the corpse. But when we went back, Gu Hongzhuang's corpse was already gone. "

"Do not inform officials... "Please don't …" Liu Xiaohe raised her head and begged Gu Hongzhuang. Her pear-filled appearance really made one feel tender and affectionate towards her. Then, she seemed to recall something and said while hugging Gu Hongzhuang, "It's not that I want Gu Hongzhuang to die, but someone was the one who ordered me …"

Hearing this, Gu Hong Yan was shocked, "Who is it?"

"It's a man, but I've never seen him before. He looks like he should be very rich, and he told me that as long as I kill Gu Hongzhuang, he'll give me a huge sum of money. He won't even let anyone find out that I did it …" It's me... "I was distracted for a while, so I agreed to his request …"

Gu Hongzhuang's mind raced. Just who did she offend to actually have someone want her dead? She did not usually meet many people. Although she had offended a few young masters in the Sinking Xiang Pavilion, it was not to this extent. Furthermore, it was someone Liu Xiaohe had never seen before.

Her death was because someone really wanted to take her life.

"Because of the hatred in your heart, you agreed to that person's request. Not only did you not directly kill Gu Hongyan, but you also thought of such a malicious method, to find someone to rape her. She bit her tongue and committed suicide.

Gu Hongzhuang took a few deep breaths and his heart was filled with extreme hatred. Even if Liu Xiaohe said that someone was ordering her to kill Gu Hongzhuang, it wouldn't change the fact that she was humiliated before she died.

No one knew how desperate Gu Hongzhuang had been at the time. The only thing she could think of was death.

Only death.

Gu Hongzhuang resisted the urge to strangle Liu Xiaohe. With a glance, she saw the bracelet on Liu Xiaohe's wrist. It was a high-quality jade, and Gu Hongzhuang recognized it.

Her heart was clearly dead towards Rong Tou, but she just couldn't bear it.

He took off the bracelet from Liu Xiaohe's wrist and left without saying anything, ignoring the cries of the lady behind him.

Just as she closed the door, she felt that something was wrong. To prevent anyone from disturbing her, she had asked Su Muqing to wait in the courtyard. However, there was no sign of Su Muqing in the empty courtyard.

With a flash of her eyes, Gu Hongyan saw the silhouette of a person flying down from the eaves, slowly walking towards her. Her heart trembled.

She recognized that person as well, Nie Qiruo.

Nie Qitao walked in front of Gu Hongzhuang and respectfully said, "Miss Su, your highness has a request."

It was still Xiang Manlou, and it was even the booth where he met with Rong Fen and Rong Ji after the incident that happened last time.

Gu Hongzhuang had been thinking about why Nie Qiruo was there and whether she had heard the conversation between her and Liu Xiaohe, or … It was for Gu Hong Yan.

Nie Qizhi retreated and stood guard at the door. He was dressed in white and was sitting leisurely, but he could not conceal the noble aura emanating from his bones. He casually picked up the cup of tea on the table and took a sip.

He didn't even raise his eyes as he said indifferently, "Miss Su, please take a seat."

Gu Hong Yan replied and sat down. She didn't see Rong Tou speak for a long time, so she was the first to open her mouth, "I wonder what business does Your Highness have for Suo Ruo to come here?"

"There were three incidents." Rong Tactic put down the porcelain cup in his hand, picked up the teapot beside him, and poured some tea into the porcelain cup in front of Gu Hongzhuang. His every action was pleasing to the eyes, "This cup of tea is to apologize to Miss Su."

"How dare Xu Ruo make your highness pour tea." Gu Hong Yan understood in her heart that this was all for the sake of bringing her back to the clan just now, which attracted the common people's attention.

Sure enough, Rong Tou's following words confirmed that Gu Hong Yan was not guessing at all.

"Earlier, it was this king who acted recklessly and did not consider Miss Su's matter carefully. He caused some rumors that caused Miss Su's reputation to be tarnished, but this duke absolutely did not offend one of them." He passed the cup of tea he poured over to Gu Hongyan and said: "No matter what, I should apologize. This cup of tea is just like an apology. I hope that Miss Su will be magnanimous."

Even though Rong Fu's actions seemed to lower himself to the point of being humble, in the end, he was still a member of the royal family, so he still had a proud look on his face.

Every word he said made sense. If Gu Hongzhuang hadn't given in, it would have made it seem as though she didn't know what was good for her.

"Your highness saved my life, but your highness feels ashamed of me. Since that's the case, then let's make up for it with your contributions. Your highness doesn't need to worry about this matter anymore."

After watching Gu Hong Yan finish drinking the tea in her cup, Rong Tou pondered for a moment as if he was considering how to start the conversation. After a long while, he slowly spoke out the second matter, "Tomorrow, royal father will set up a feast at the palace, there will be no festival and there will be no celebration. Everyone was trying to guess why royal father is doing this, and upon hearing Miss Su mention it, Lady Su must have found out."

Gu Hong Yan had talked about it that day, but Rong Tactic and Rong Ji didn't say anything. They only drank tea, so Gu Hong Yan thought they both didn't care. She didn't expect Rong Tou to open his mouth today, so she couldn't pretend she didn't know.

"My father did come home and mentioned this before. The Emperor summoned him to the palace and said a lot of things. He probably heard the rumors outside and had damaged the imperial family's prestige. Thus, he wanted to grant us marriage." Gu Hongzhuang replied truthfully.

Rong Tou looked at her with a questioning gaze. "Miss Su, what do you think about this?"

What kind of thoughts could she have? If she was really Su Suiruo, then she would have to obey the decree. According to her personality, how could she dare to disrespect the decree? However, she was only Gu Hong Yan with an alluring body. Her days with Rong Tou were indeed very happy and carefree, and she had the illusion of a daughter at home. If she were to marry Rong Tou, what would happen?

But now, her heart was as dead as ashes, and she no longer harbored any illusions about Rong Tou.

That was Gu Hongzhuang. How could she have predicted that things would turn out like this? What could she think?

When Rong Tactic saw Gu Hongzhuang's stunned expression, his eyes even showed signs of reddening. It was as if he had thought of the reason why she acted this way. He said indifferently, "Miss Su, are you thinking of the crown prince?"

This time, Gu Hongzhuang was truly stunned. She raised her head and looked at Rong Fen with a puzzled expression. What he meant was … "How does Sufu Ruoruo have to do with Jing and Jing?

"Miss Su, there's no need to be surprised. Although you haven't stepped out of the door at all, you've been acquainted with the crown prince since you were young." "When you grow up, you'll be closer to the crown prince. Imperial Father and the others already knew that the empress wished for you to marry the crown prince. But now, something like this has happened."

So it was like this. Gu Hong Yan's memories of her childhood before she was eight or nine years old were completely blank, not to mention that she now had some vague memories of Su Suoruo, making her extremely chaotic. Sometimes, even Gu Hong Yan would suspect that Gu Hong Yan had really existed, or that she had gone mad.

Who would believe it if they told someone else that they had been reborn? She would probably be captured as a lunatic or a demoness. Either she would be beaten to death or her body would be set on fire.

Her memory of Su Suoruo was not completely clear, just like the memory of Liangjing. If it wasn't for the book, she would not have known that Su Suo Ruo Ruo actually had something to do with him.

"Your highness, when it comes to marriage, it's not for the children to decide." Gu Hongzhuang smiled. "What's more, if the emperor really intends to propose marriage, a woman like Allure won't dare to disobey the decree and implicate her parents." "If Your Highness isn't satisfied with this marriage, you can talk to the emperor privately. After all, we're father and son, so I presume the emperor won't make things too difficult for you."

Of course, he understood the art of supporting people as he spoke. He was not very familiar with Su Xiaoru, but he had gotten along with her before. The answers she gave were somewhat different from what he imagined, and her personality seemed to be a little more difficult to deal with.

"Since that's the case, we shall obey the Holy Will."

At this moment, she felt a little helpless, afraid that Rong Tou would mention the third thing. If she hadn't guessed wrongly, then this third thing was probably the reason why Nie Xi had brought her here, not at any other place, but in front of Liu Xiaohe's room in the Agarwood Restaurant.

"Next, does Your Highness want to ask why Suo Ruo is investigating Gu Hongzhuang's matter at the Agarwood Pavilion?" After all, it was better to be a pre-emptive force than to be too passive.

When she mentioned Gu Hongzhuang, Rong Tactic's eyes sunk and his brows turned slightly cold. "Miss Su, you'd better tell me the truth. Why are you doing this? Don't try to find an excuse to deceive This King. "

Originally, she had been very careful with her identity as Su Suyun. Even Liu Xiaohe had told Su Muqing to go and do the investigation, but she was still caught red-handed by Rong Tang. If Gu Hongzhuang had still been under her protection that day, then today, she really wouldn't have any excuses to look for her.

But it was impossible for him to tell the truth.

"It's quite a pity." "Luoran and Miss Gu met face to face, but she died just like that. I wanted to go to the Agarwood Pavilion to understand the situation, but I didn't expect to meet the Prince that day, but Suo Ruo also heard some gossip about Miss Gu's death. There's something fishy about it, so she asked my younger brother to investigate it."
