"The king is just worried about her and wants to see her. How about this, the old lady sent someone to invite Xiyan over, and the king wants to know if she is okay." Zhou Xing did not refute the old lady's face, and backed down a step.

The old lady had no choice but to ask Cigu to go to Xiyuan to invite someone.

Gu Xiyan knew that Zhou Xing wanted to see her, but she refused in every possible way.

Cigu knew that she was unwilling, and persuaded her: "I know that the young lady doesn't want to see His Royal Highness King Qin, but if the young lady doesn't go to see His Highness King Qin, His Highness will come to Xiyuan to find the young lady. The old lady tried her best to block His Highness King Qin, but she still blocked it. I can't help His Highness's determination to see the eldest girl."

Gu Xiyan pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment and finally followed Cigu to Kuanhe Hall.

On that side, Zhou Mu hurried back to the Zhou Mansion, and asked Qi Zhiyuan to pass on the news that he wanted to see Gu Xiyan and make sure she was okay.

I don't want Min'er to show up directly from the secret passage this time, and everyone will know that something happened when they see Min'er.

Min'er went to Zhou Mu, and only after meeting Li did she report Zhou Xing's visit to Wanqinghou's mansion.

"At this moment Miss Gu went to Kuanhe Hall, Liu's family members were all present, presumably His Royal Highness Qin Wang can't really do anything to Miss Gu, young master, please rest assured."

It was because she was too slow to pass on the news that she came here to reply in person.

"It's Zhou Xing again." Zhou Mu's picturesque eyebrows were stained with a smear of frost, and his voice seemed to be quenched with ice slag, which could frostbite people.

Qi Zhiyuan quietly stayed away from his son, and said with righteous indignation: "His Royal Highness Qin is really hateful! He has retired from Miss Gu, but he still has her idea. This subordinate thinks that Miss Gu's marriage should be settled as soon as possible, so that it can be done once and for all. What do you think, son?"

The young master has concerns, fearing that he will not be able to take care of his health, so he is not in a hurry to confess his feelings to Miss Gu.

But Miss Gu is surrounded by tigers and wolves, and none of them are good.

He saw it, and the third son of Xu also left the Yamen early, maybe he came for Miss Gu.

He was only worried that Miss Gu would be robbed by other men if the young master didn't make a move.

"I think you talk too much." Zhou Mu looked in the direction of the next door with deep eyes.

Qi Zhiyuan slapped his mouth, stepped aside, not daring to speak anymore.

He can somewhat understand the young master's mind. It's nothing more than caring too much, so I'm afraid of hurting Miss Gu. Miss Gu is so beautiful and young, if one day he follows the son, the son's condition will worsen, then Miss Gu will have to be a widow?

"Min'er, you go back to the Marquis Mansion first, and keep an eye on it. If Zhou Xing dares to do anything to Miss Gu, just do it without any hesitation." Zhou Mu gave an order after a while.

Min'er replied: "Yes, this subordinate will leave!"

On that side Xu Yanqing came to Wanqinghou Mansion later than Zhou Mu.

He came uninvited, but the concierge said to him in a low voice: "Master Xu, it's inconvenient right now. His Royal Highness King Qin is here. Would you like to visit again at another day?"

The concierge is Wan Qinghou's man, he knows that His Royal Highness King Qin is here for the eldest girl, and the third son Xu is also here for the eldest girl.

The eldest girl's reputation is not good, if His Royal Highness King Qin sees the third son Xu and there is a conflict, wouldn't it be more difficult for the eldest girl to behave?

Xu Yanqing's heart trembled when he heard that Zhou Xing was coming.

He really wanted to enter the Hou's mansion, and told Gu Xiyan not to be afraid, and that he would protect her.

But he can't appear rashly, otherwise he might anger Zhou Xing and put Gu Xiyan in danger.

"I'm the one who was rude, and I'm leaving!" Xu Yanqing backed away a little, originally wanted to get into the carriage, but when he saw the Zhou Mansion next door, he didn't hesitate, and planned to go to the Zhou Mansion for a while first, to make sure that Gu Xiyan was fine before leaving .

Cai Yu felt dizzy when he saw Xu Yanqing, he didn't dare to let people in, he asked Zhou Mu what he meant, and then invited Xu Yanqing in.

Xu Yanqing was brought to the gazebo. At that time, Zhou Mu took off his official robe and put on a white one. He sat in the pavilion with clear features and elegant eyes, just like a fairy in a painting.

No matter how many times I see Zhou Mu, Xu Yanqing will always be amazed by Zhou Mu's good skin, even though he is also a man, he still has a good skin.

Zhou Mu raised his head and glanced at Xu Yanqing, his thin lips parted slightly: "Sit."

Xu Yanqing sat down at the seat opposite Zhou Mu, at this time Zhou Mu poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.

He took a sip and couldn't help exclaiming: "Good tea!"

"What are you doing here today?"

Zhou Mu's expression was calm, and his pure black pupils were astonishingly deep, reminding Xu Yanqing of wild beasts before hunting.

He is obviously a young master who is like a banished fairy, but he always makes him feel that this person is very dangerous.

I don't know what kind of family is raising such a complex and contradictory man like Zhou Mu.

"I just passed Wanqinghou's mansion. I wanted to visit Lord Marquis. The concierge told me that His Royal Highness King Qin is in the manor. I have nowhere to go, and I don't want to go home so soon, so I came to Brother Zhou to sit here for a while." Xu Yanqing said , sighed softly: "Brother Zhou, tell me, why did His Royal Highness King Qin appear in Wanqinghou Mansion at this time?"

He came here for Gu Xiyan, Zhou Mu also hurried home, and Zhou Xing also chose to come to Wanqinghou Mansion at this time, so he couldn't help but think about it.

The news of Zhou Xing's resignation was widely spread in the capital, and everyone knew that it was Zhou Xing who didn't want Gu Xiyan, and that it was Zhou Xing who made Gu Xiyan the laughing stock of the whole city.

Today, Gu Xiyan has become the talk of the people in the city again, what is Zhou Xing's intention when he comes to the Hou's mansion at this time?

"What do Master Xu think of King Qin?" Zhou Mu didn't answer Xu Yanqing's question, but threw it back.

"Although he is quite talented, he is self-willed, uncertain, and ruthless." Xu Yanqing replied bluntly.

He is not a good candidate for the crown prince, he dare not say this truth.

Zhou Mu was a little surprised by Xu Yanqing's straightforwardness, "Are you not afraid that I will spread what you said?"

"Brother Zhou is not such a person, and besides, I don't think Brother Zhou likes His Highness King Qin either." Xu Yanqing disagreed.

Just now Zhou Mu directly called Zhou Xing the "King of Qin" instead of His Highness, and there was no respect for Zhou Xing in his tone. It can be seen that in Zhou Mu's eyes, Zhou Xing is just like that.

Zhou Mu didn't shy away from it: "I really don't like King Qin."

If it wasn't for Zhou Xing, Gu Xiyan's reputation wouldn't have been ruined like this.

Since such a person can't stick to one end, why would he provoke Gu Xiyan? Even though Gu Xiyan is such a good girl, Zhou Xing still wants to be a concubine. What does he think he is?

Xu Yanqing felt that this kind of Zhou Mu seemed to be a bit popular, but he was really curious about which Zhou family in this capital could raise a character like Zhou Mu.

He checked all the Zhou families in the capital, but he didn't see any particularly outstanding noble families. Except, of course, the royal family.

Since Zhou Mu is a third-rank official, it can't be a pseudonym.

What puzzled him the most was that Zhou Mu, a dignified third-rank official, had never been to the early court since the day he was on duty, and Emperor Chengde didn't reprimand him for this matter, which was unreasonable.

"I don't know if His Highness King Qin is embarrassing Miss Gu?" Xu Yanqing's eyes fell on Zhou Mu's face.
