He Lanyan's eyes were careless, like an elegant wolf king, admiring the fear of its prey without killing them all.
The ancient trees are green and make a rustling sound.
An unspeakable sense of shame came over her, and Gu Mei tensed up and lowered her eyes to hide her panic.
Unexpectedly, Zhai's voice came from beside her at this time.
"Your Highness must have made a mistake. This is not the veil of my wife and daughter-in-law."
Madam Zhai was a little confused at first as to why Helan Yan was blocking her way, but then she suddenly came to her senses.
The Crown Prince, who returned from the royal temple, was rumored to have been engaged to her daughter-in-law.
Such a scene is not just the meeting of old lovers.
Thinking of this, Madam Zhai stretched out her hand, pulled Gu's eyebrows back, and said in a low tone full of sarcasm, "Mrs. Gu, don't forget your current identity. You are the young lady of the Xie family."
Gu Mei sighed in her heart, not wanting to argue, and just followed Ms. Zhai's words, "That's what mother said."
It felt like a punch punching into cotton again.
Ms. Zhai snorted and didn't want Gu Mei to go to Master Mingwei to check her pulse.
Although a legitimate son was precious, Mrs. Gu also gave up on allowing her son to have concubines. She found a few good girls who could be chosen and brought them into the family. After they gave birth to children, Mrs. Gu, who had no heirs, could only look at her face.
"Okay. You finish your work and go back home. Don't wander around, be careful to touch things you shouldn't touch." After saying goodbye to Master Mingwei, Mr. Zhai took Gu Mei to the mountain gate and got on the carriage. He gave a few instructions in a calm manner.
Gu Mei's eyes flashed and she responded respectfully.
Doesn't the thing that Mr. Zhai said shouldn't be touched refer to the Helan Banquet?
Although Helan Yan was granted the title of crown prince, the current majesty is his uncle. Whether the crown prince can hold the position for a long time is doubted by everyone in the court.
Under the influence of Marquis Jing'an, Zhai naturally showed his contemptuous attitude.
Gu Mei complied obediently and turned around to go to the main hall where the spiritual tablets were placed.
It was late spring, and the wind was still cold. The tassels on Gu's eyebrows and temples swayed in the wind, adding a bit of quietness and loneliness to her elegant temperament.
It is about these times that I think about it day by day and dream about it at night.
After meeting Helan Yan in the cave, she always dreamed about her past life.
The situation in the dream when the poison of reincarnation enters the abdomen.
And what the woman who poured the medicine said: "Don't blame the old slave for being cruel, there is really nothing you can do."
The old lady was a servant of Mr. Zhai, and she came here on orders. How could you say something that you can't help?
And the way the mother-in-law looked at her was pitiful.
Gu Mei, who was troubled by many problems, felt depressed.
Her thoughts were complicated for a moment, and she stood under the corridor, looking at the angled eaves in the distance in trance.
No matter what, she had started over again and changed her inevitable ending.
As long as she plans well, she can always pull herself out of the Xie family's muddy ground.
"Young lady, I left the basket with incense and candles in the main hall. Please wait here while I go back to get it, okay?"
Yingyue, the maid who had been following Gu Mei, said with fear.
Gu Mei regained her composure, nodded, and then warned: "By the way, I can buy some more sesame oil money at Zhi Ke Monk's place."
When Yingyue left, the originally quiet corridor became even quieter.
Gu Mei found that such silence was very convenient for her to think.
She sat on the pillar and took out her handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her forehead.
After a while, footsteps were heard from behind. She folded the veil and asked without looking back: "Yingyue, why are you back so soon? Sesame oil money..."
Before she finished speaking, her whole body was stiff, even her scalp was tense, and her mind was high, "Your Highness..."
Behind her, Helan Yan's dark and cold eyes were looking at her steadily.
Gu Mei never expected that she would meet Helan Yan again here.
Thinking of the bloody veil, she felt guilty for a moment, and forced herself to calmly salute Helan Yan.
"If His Highness comes to see me because of the veil just now, I am willing to make amends to His Highness."
A scoff sounded.
He stepped forward, forcing Gu Mei to lean back against the pillar.
There is no way to retreat.
However, Helan Yan showed no signs of letting her go, and moved closer, his chest getting closer and closer.
Gu Mei looked around and shouted nervously. "Your Highness, this is the pure land of Buddhism. You cannot..."
