Chapter 262: Coming Out Safely (11)

When the rain stopped, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon.

Tu Mingyuan also woke up, and the first thing he did when he woke up was to check whether Gu Changzai was by his side.

Gu Chang supported his chin with one hand, leaned his elbow against the bed, and lowered his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

In fact, Gu Chang was just playing Tetris with the system.

But in Tu Mingyuan's eyes, Gu Chang was thinking about something.

"Gui Yan..." Tu Mingyuan realized that his voice was a little hoarse and his throat was dry and unbearable as soon as he spoke.

When Gu Chang heard his voice, he stopped the game and looked up at Tu Mingyuan.

Noticing that the other person's face was red, Gu Chang realized that the other person had a fever.

"Your Highness, you've caught a cold. Let me get you some water to moisten your throat." Gu Chang quickly stood up, walked over to the now-cold pot, and filled a bowl with water. Then he turned and walked over to the bedside, placing the bowl on the wooden table at the head of the bed before helping Tu Mingyuan to his feet.

Tu Mingyuan's face turned red because of the cold, and his originally pale pink lips also turned deep red.

Gu Changchang saw that Tu Mingyuan couldn't see, so he added a snow lotus pill into the bowl.

The pill slid away immediately after entering the water.

Gu Chang was shocked and thought he was dazzled and didn't put it in.

"Your Highness, drink." Gu Chang picked up the bowl and sat on the edge of the bed. He pinched Tu Minyuan's chin with one hand and put the edge of the bowl against Tu Minyuan's lips with the other hand.

"I can drink it myself." He seemed to be shocked by Gu Chang's bold action, and his tone became a little flustered.

Gu Chang placed the bowl of water in Tu Mingyuan's hands. He did so out of a guilty conscience. After all, he had taken the Snow Lotus Pill directly before, and now he didn't know what it would taste like if he added it to the water. What if Tu Mingyuan tasted something strange and thought he was trying to poison him?

He should have tasted it himself before giving it to Tu Mingyuan.

It’s his fault that he thought Tu Mingyuan was his lover and got used to it.

Gu Chang watched Tu Mingyuan finish the bowl of water with the Snow Lotus Pill. Seeing that his expression didn't change, he asked, "Your Highness, are you feeling better now?"

"Much better." Tu Mingyuan's tone was a little cold.

Gu Chang was stunned. Before he could explain, the other party continued, "This water is sweeter than the previous one."

"Because I added medicine to treat colds." Gu Chang explained immediately.

"So that's how it is." Tu Mingyuan smiled slightly, and his tone became gentle again.

Gu Chang felt relieved. Fortunately, the explanation was quick, otherwise the friendship would have been ruined.

Afterwards, Gu Chang cleaned up the cabin, put out the fire in the stove, and left with Tu Mingyuan.

The ground was soft after the rain, and shallow pits were formed when you stepped on them.

With the accumulation of water and other things, Gu Chang watched helplessly as the corners of his clothes were stained with mud. Gu Chang closed his eyes and hardened his heart not to look.

After returning to the place where he started, Gu Chang found that there was no one here.

So he took Tu Mingyuan to the foot of the mountain.

Half an hour later, Gu Chang and Tu Mingyuan finally came down the mountain.

Gu Chang saw a carriage parked outside at a glance.

Looking at the family crest, it belongs to Prince Duan's Mansion.

"Your Highness!" Tu Weizhi noticed Gu Chang and Tu Mingyuan, and hurriedly got off the carriage and walked towards them quickly.

"Thank goodness you're all okay." Tu Weizhi looked worried. Seeing that Tu Mingyuan only had a scratch on his forehead, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Guiyan, for taking care of His Highness along the way. Get in the carriage. I'll take His Highness home first, and then I'll take you, Guiyan."

"No need, my guards are waiting for me there. Your Highnesses, please go back first." Gu Chang waved to Tianyu and Mingtang who were standing next to the carriage on the other side.

"Gui Yan, see you next time." Tu Mingyuan did not try to keep him. He stretched out his hand, and Tu Weizhi stretched out his hand and let him put it on his forearm.

"See you next time, Your Highness." After saying this, Gu Chang walked towards his own carriage.

Tu Weizhi glanced at Gu Chang's back, then took Tu Mingyuan into the carriage.

"Go to the palace." After giving the order, Tu Weizhi looked at Tu Mingyuan, "Your Highness, you are really too bold this time. What if you lose your life..."

Tu Mingyuan leaned back against the cushions, his eyes closed as he spoke slowly, "Weizhi, I won't do anything I'm not sure of."

Tu Weizhi frowned, "But Gu Guiyan is a variable after all."

"He is not. I can be sure that he poses no threat to what we are going to do." Tu Mingyuan's voice was clear and he spoke at a steady pace, firmly and gently.

Tu Weizhi was speechless for a moment. He was still wondering what kind of drug Tu Mingyuan had taken that made him so sure that Gu Chang was not a threat. Then he heard Tu Mingyuan's voice: "It was Gui Yan who saved me in the Qiongshan Hunting Ground. If he wanted to kill me, he would have done it long ago."

As Tu Mingyuan spoke, his eyes, which had been closed, slowly opened. He was already a remarkable man, and with his eyes open, he was even more stunning. He had a pair of extremely dark eyes, and the cold and distant gaze in them silenced Tu Weizhi.

On the other side, Gu Chang had already boarded the carriage back to Gu's house.

"Young Master, news came from the palace that Ling Yiyan climbed onto the roof of Yuqiao Palace and was struck to death by lightning." Tian Yu said in a deep voice.

Gu Chang opened his eyes slightly. He didn't expect Ling Yiyan to choose to commit suicide.

"Really?" Gu Chang asked subconsciously.

"This is absolutely true. Yin Li saw it with her own eyes. She wanted to stop Ling Yiyan, but she was too late." Tian Yu frowned slightly, and then talked to Gu Chang about other things. "The emperor was very dissatisfied with today's Deer Hunting Festival."

"After finding the Crown Prince and Miss Nie, the Emperor returned to the palace with his men. He then lost his temper again. It's said that the people at the Imperial Observatory said that the Emperor was being punished by Heaven because he was obsessed with pleasure."

Gu Chang was still wondering why Ling Yiyan committed suicide. After hearing what Tianyu said, he casually said, "He didn't even have a good time. The prince almost disappeared in the Qiongshan hunting grounds, and was scolded by the ministers after returning. No wonder he was in a bad mood."

Mingtang, who was sitting next to Tianyu, couldn't help but chuckle when he heard what Gu Chang said, and burst into laughter, "That's right, sir, you are right! Hahahahaha——"

But after he finished laughing, he found that the atmosphere in the carriage was a little silent, so he shut his mouth, lowered his head and kept silent.

Gu Chang sighed. He probably guessed why Ling Yiyan chose to commit suicide. He was afraid that he would become the next Ling Xiaosu.

Gu Chang thought of the human skin puppet and wondered where Ling Xiaosu hid the rest of the human skin puppets.

This matter can be put aside for now. Gu Chang raised his eyes and looked at Tian Yu: "Have you found the tomb of Concubine Li?"

"We have found it. It is near the imperial mausoleum under construction." Tian Yu said affirmatively.
