Bai Xianyu was silent for a while before saying, “Take them and distribute them to the servants.”
Bai Li nodded and went to organize things.
Spring rain continued, but today was a rare good day. Ji Shuang had nothing to do, so she pulled Bai Xianyu to the teahouse for tea.
The location of this teahouse was quite good. It was next to the Li River. Cigarette smoke curled up in the private room on the second floor. The carved window was open, and from time to time, a cool breeze would blow over. It made one’s mood much better.
In the middle of the main stage on the first floor, there was a middle-aged man in green clothes holding a wake-up wood. He was talking animatedly and his saliva flew everywhere. Everyone in the teahouse listened attentively.
“… Everyone knows that the late Emperor was deeply in love with the late Empress and doted on her children. Not to mention the current Emperor, Eldest Princess Jing An is probably the only one in the capital with a group of servants and 8,000 guards.”
Great Kui was not shy about these affairs. Some people even wrote about the past of the princes and lords and acted them in a play. Most of them did not mind.
“…But this is an official historical record. I wonder if everyone has heard of another theory?”
Ji Shuang was curious. She raised her eyebrows and threw down a few banknotes. “Hurry up. Don’t keep us in suspense.”
The storyteller picked up the banknotes and chuckled. “Thank you, AAiss! Then I won’t keep you in suspense. 1 can guarantee that most people have never heard of this other saying. That is—the late Emperor had actually loved someone else.”
The people below started to criticize him. “Sir, are you muddle-headed from drinking tea?”
“It must be consensual. Otherwise, why would he dote on her two children so much? Even the princes don’t have the same treatment as Eldest Princess Jing An.”
“Who the hell is it?”
In the private room diagonally opposite Bai Xianyu, the man lowered the curtain on one side, blocking their sight.
A man in white waved his fan. “Xingyun, this person is very serious. Do you know who this ‘other love’ of your maternal grandfather is?”
Xie Xingyun’s position was very ingenious, and he could take in Bai Xianyu’s figure. He leaned back and said casually, “No.”
The man smiled. The face under the jade fan was clearly the divine physician Gu Yu from that day.
Gu Yu looked at his look of indifference and teased, “How did you become so free of desires? Weren’t you very nervous about that girl at the birthday banquet a few days ago?”
Xie Xingyun glanced at him, then took out the brocade pouch with his long fingers and played with it in his hand.
Gu Yu was already used to the personality of the person in front of him and could enjoy himself. He took a sip of tea. “I was just taking her pulse, but you still looked at me coldly as if 1 was taking advantage of her.”
Speaking of this, Xie Xingyun smirked and asked expressionlessly, “Wasn’t you?”
He did not grow up in the capital. When he was young, Xie Xingyun was taken away by the Prince of Nanzhao to his territory. Later, he was brought back to the capital by Eldest Princess Jing An.
The people of Nanzhao were proficient in spells, poisons, and medicines. Gu Yu was proficient in everything. He was born and raised in Nanzhao.
Xie Xingyun had known him since he was young, so he naturally understood him. This person’s obsession with hygiene was worse than his. He would always take a person’s pulse over a thin handkerchief and would never have any physical contact with a girl. That day at the birthday banquet, when he saw him looking at him coldly, he deliberately reached out his hand. Didn’t he want to see his reaction?
Gu Yu did not feel the slightest bit of awkwardness from being exposed. Instead, he said in a gratified manner, “Those who know me know my actions. It has been many years, and you are the only one who has my heart.”
Xie Xingyun glanced at him. “Don’t do it again.”
Gu Yu smiled and said, “It’s been many years since we last met. 1 didn’t expect you to become such a lecherous person.”
Xie Xingyun,”?”
Xiao Zheng,”?”
Gu Yu smiled to himself and said, “But it’s understandable. I’ve been practicing medicine everywhere, but I’ve never seen anyone more beautiful than that girl. She’s indeed worthy of the title of devastatingly beautiful. When she stands beside you, she’s not inferior at all. It’s no wonder you’re tempted. When 1 first came to the capital and heard those rumors, 1 really thought that there was something wrong with your body.”
The veins on Xie Xingyun’s forehead twitched. He gritted his teeth. “Do you think I like her face and body?”
Gu Yu was puzzled. “Isn’t that so?”
Xie Xingyun chuckled and said with a fake smile, “I met you at the door today. I should have let Xiao Zheng tie you up and throw you back into the palace.”
Gu Yu rubbed his nose resentfully.
Xiao Zheng asked boldly,”… What rumors?”
“You’re born into a noble family, but you don’t even have a maidservant by your side. How many young masters have become enlightened? Those of your age would have at least a few sweethearts. It’s hard not to be suspicious..”
