Gu Tingfang glanced at her lightly and said, "Come in."
Bai Zhixi's face still looked so fragile and pale, and she walked in slowly with steps.
In the hall, ambergris was burning.
Shen Nanxiao walked towards Gu Tingfang, looked him up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he was fine.
"Where is Prince Yin?"
Gu Tingfang raised her eyebrows in surprise, "He's not dead."
Shen Nanxiao lowered her long eyelashes gently, "It's okay."
Shen Nanxiao glanced at Bai Zhixi on one side, turned around and walked out of Zhaode Hall without saying another word.
For a moment, there were only two people left in the huge hall.
After a moment of silence, Bai Zhixi's faint cry suddenly came out, and eventually turned into uncontrollable wails.
Gu Tingfang frowned and looked at her, with a hint of coolness in his eyes. He didn't interrupt her, just looked at her like this.
Seeing that Gu Tingfang did not comfort herself, Bai Zhixi's crying gradually became quieter.
She gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief, and then said: "I lost my composure for a moment, and I hope you will forgive me. I just thought of my father, and for a moment I felt sad."
"It's okay." Gu Tingfang said calmly. He came to sit on the chair and glanced at Bai Zhixi casually.
"Before your father died, he asked Gu to give you a home."
Hearing this, Bai Zhixi's eyes lit up, but she still lowered her head. The sadness in her heart was instantly dispelled by the joy.
"The son of Duke Yong, Yong Zhao, is a talented young man. He is an outstanding scholar at a young age. It will be a good thing for you to marry him."
Hearing this, Bai Zhixi's expression froze in an instant.
She was stunned for a while before she recovered from the huge gap.
Raising her head, she looked at Gu Tingfang blankly, "I will not marry you."
Gu Tingfang frowned slightly, "Do you want to resist the decree?"
Bai Zhixi's fist hanging by her side clenched tightly, and she suddenly sneered, "My father died trying to save your Majesty. As a minister of your Majesty, this is what you should do, but your Majesty has no intention of caring about Zhixi." , and I shouldn’t be asked to marry someone else.”
This seemed to be the first time Bai Zhixi had been so tough in front of Gu Tingfang.
Gu Tingfang was not annoyed either. He looked at her with a smile but not a smile, and said in a casual tone, "Oh? You mean, do you want to be Gu's concubine?"
"I don't dare to ask for status. As long as I can stay with you, I will be a slave and a maid."
"Haha." Gu Tingfang suddenly laughed, and there was a hint of coolness hidden in the laughter.
Don’t dare to ask for status?
To be a slave or a maid?
If this matter spreads out, people who don't know about it will think that he treated the meritorious officials harshly.
"Miss Bai, I'm afraid she's too sad and has spoken nonsense."
"Your Majesty, my maid..."
Bai Zhixi raised her head suddenly and wanted to say something, but when she met Gu Tingfang's sinister gaze, she fell silent.
Gu Tingfang's eyes were so cold that when people looked at them, they fell into the bottomless abyss.
Bai Zhixi was a little frightened.
She lowered her head and said, "My dear, I just want to accompany the Queen Mother for a few years. My aunt's health is getting worse and worse than before. I won't worry if my dear gets married."
"In that case, as you wish, you can move to Yong'an Palace to live with the Queen Mother."
"My dear daughter, I obey."
Bai Zhixi turned around and walked out of the hall, feeling the chill in her heart getting even worse.
Your Majesty, he probably has no heart.
Even if her father died, he would not care about her. Therefore, she dared to conclude that her father asked Junshang to marry her.
