Make You Happy

  Chapter 287 Ready to leave the city

   As soon as the sky was slightly bright, Ruan Youqing left a letter and went out.

   She didn't even wake up with the fan.

  However, when she was about to leave the city, she suddenly seemed to have a large space in her heart.

  Pedestrians passed her in a hurry on the street, and the sun began to shine on the side of the tall city wall.

  The moment she looked up at the sun, Ruan Youqing finally understood why she felt empty in her heart.

  She left her family without saying goodbye because she couldn't find any suitable reason to persuade them to let her go alone to find that... mysterious, dangerous and terrifying wizard Kugli.

  But...if she and Gu Changan leave without saying goodbye...

  Her heart will feel empty...

  Unknowingly, she came to the gate of Gu Mansion again.

  Although she was wearing a mask at this time, the guards at the gate of the Gu Mansion were so sharp-eyed. They knew this person when she just appeared from the corner, and they didn't need to ask any more questions, just invite them in.

  Therefore, just when Ruan Youqing regained his composure, he was invited to the parlor by the servants of the Gu family.

  There are no servant girls in Gu's mansion, only a few shrewd servants serve her tea and water.

   "You wait here for a while, our master has entered the palace. He will be back in about an hour or so."

  Ruan Youqing was taken aback for a moment, and then remembered what Gu Changan said last night that he was going into the palace today to see if he could see the emperor again.

   Smiling and nodding at the talking boy, Ruan Youqing sat patiently waiting for Gu Changan to come back.

   Just right, before leaving, we need to find out what happened to the emperor.

   It will take less than an hour to go to the place that Kugli said, and the other party said to meet at Haishi.

  It's still early, but it won't be too long.

   Just…

  While she was quietly waiting for Gu Changan, there were already several waves of servants coming in to greet her and give her food and drinks.

  Faced with such warm hospitality, Ruan Youqing couldn't help asking curiously after all: "Master Gu...is always so...warm to the guests who come here?"

  The boy who came to bring her cakes listened, and immediately shook his head and said: "No, our master ordered that we don't have to be too polite to anyone except the empress dowager and the old lady."

   "Then... why did you treat me..." Ruan Youqing's face was full of doubts.

  The boy smiled honestly twice and replied: "Slaves are best at observing words and expressions. Naturally, we can see...our master treats you differently from others."

  After all...God asks that the people they treat so politely are definitely not ordinary people!

  Although this lady is wearing a mask, she has an extraordinary demeanor...

  The servant who could roughly guess her identity was very clever and didn't say much.

   Seeing the young servant looking at him respectfully, Ruan Youqing shrugged and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Okay, you guys go to your own affairs. I'll just wait for Mr. Gu by myself."

   "Okay, the servants will not bother you anymore."

  The boy went out immediately after saluting.

  After that, finally no one disturbed her cleanliness.

  Seeing that the other party is so upbeat, Ruan Youqing only feels very relaxed physically and mentally.

   Less than an hour later, Gu Changan came back.

  When he saw Ruan Youqing who was waiting for him, Gu Changan's cold face gradually warmed up.

   "Why did you come here so early?" Gu Changan sat beside Ruan Youqing very naturally.

  Ruan Youqing didn't say his intention of coming to him first, but first asked him if he had seen the emperor in the palace this time.

  After seeing Gu Changan's expression after she finished speaking, Ruan Youqing roughly knew it.

  It seems...the situation on the side of the emperor is not optimistic.

   "The emperor may have been tampered with." Gu Chang'an said with a serious expression.

"what do you mean…"

"When I saw the emperor today, I went straight into the emperor's imperial study. At that time, the emperor seemed to be looking down at something. After watching me go in, he just looked up at me, and then lowered his head to do his business .If it was in the past, the emperor would definitely ask me what's the matter. And...I broke in and hadn't spoken to the emperor yet, the prince Li Yi rushed over after hearing the news. His face...was clearly flustered."

   "He's here so soon?" Ruan Youqing raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Yes. When we arrived, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince accused me of audaciously disobeying the emperor's will. I was able to shut him up until I showed him the gold medal of exoneration given to me by the emperor. But during this period, the emperor kept quiet He looked at his things quietly, and didn't even look at us. It wasn't until I left that he looked at me again and nodded at me."

  Hearing this, Ruan Youqing's face became more and more gloomy: "The emperor's reaction...is really abnormal."

  Gu Changan nodded and continued: "Yes, it's not normal at all. And... I can't see any emotion in his eyes. So, I'm afraid Li Yi really used some means to control the emperor."

  「So have you figured out how to deal with it?」

   "I need to find out what's going on before I know what to do next. By the way, Xiaoqing, you came to me today..."

  Seeing that he finally asked, Ruan Youqing took a deep breath, and then looked at Gu Changan with burning eyes: "I'm going to the country of Guz, and I can't delay any longer."

  「Why are you so fast...」

   "Listen to me first." Ruan Youqing put her slender fingers between Gu Changan's lips, and she continued when he stopped talking:

"Kugli sent me a letter. He wanted to use me to **** him back to Guz from Ningguo. Although I don't know what his intentions are, I was planning to go there. So... why don't you take advantage of this time?" If there is an opportunity, I will go directly. The sooner I finish my work, the sooner I can come back."

  Gu Changan frowned, and then took Ruan Youqing's hand in his hand: "Do you know that this is reckless? What if he has any plans for you."

"Don't worry, I will be extremely careful. What's more, I still have the token of the wizard brought out from the deathbed of King Nanjing. It should... it should be useful... Ah, and there are already people in the Zhaixing Building I'm waiting for you in the country of Guz. Therefore, you can rest assured of my safety."

   "Then I..." Gu Changan, who originally wanted to talk together, suddenly darkened, feeling unspeakably suffocated in his heart.

  At this moment, there is no way for him to leave Beijing easily!

   Otherwise, I don't know what Li Yi will do to the emperor again!

  The same sense of struggle and powerlessness as in the Cangmang River before made Gu Changan feel upset again.

"You want to protect the emperor in the capital, and help me protect... the Ruan family. You can't worry about changing someone else... Youqing is not at ease." Ruan Youqing held his hand and put it on her cheek, looking at him with eyes full of tears. Be serious.

  Finally, Gu Changan calmed down a bit, but he still said in a complicated mood: "Then, you must return safely before the wedding, otherwise..."

   If there was an accident...he didn't know if he would do something crazy.

  Ruan Youqing saw his worry, nodded obediently and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect myself."

   "I will definitely find out Li Yi's conspiracy and protect everything you care about."

  The two had another conversation reluctantly, and it was not until the time Ruan Youqing and Kugli agreed upon that Gu Changan sent Ruan Youqing out of the city.

  After trying to persuade Gu Changan to leave, Ruan Youqing's sweet and shy smile like a little girl was slowly replaced by a biting coldness.
