Gu Xiyan swallowed carefully, and spent two quarters of an hour drinking the tonic soup, while recalling everything that happened recently.

In fact, there were already traces to be found, she was always unwilling to admit that Zhou Mu had ulterior motives for her, until Zhou Mu woke her up in a more straightforward way today.

Every time Zhou Mu approached her, she would blush and her heart would beat, but she wasn't sure if it was the love between a man and a woman, it might just be a rebellion.

Any woman can't help but blush when Zhou Mu's face approaches her, she is not alone.

Gu Xiyan thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out if she had feelings for Zhou Mu...

At the foot of Fallen Immortal Temple.

When Zhou Xing woke up, it was already dark, and the other garden was dark, only the strong smell of blood lingered in the air.

It was with great difficulty that he pushed aside the bricks and stones that were pressing on him, and it took a lot of effort to struggle to stand up.

The masked man hit his chest, if he hit his heart, today would be his death day.

At this moment, his whole body seemed to be falling apart, and his bones were aching.

He finally walked to the courtyard, and saw many corpses lying in the courtyard, all of them were his hidden guards. They were all highly skilled in martial arts, but they were all killed by the masked man in the blink of an eye.

Soon he found Zhao De who was in a coma, kicked Zhao De, and Zhao De woke up due to pain.

The moment he saw Zhou Xing, Zhao De gradually recovered his memory.

"His Royal Highness is seriously injured. Hurry up and go back to the palace to seek treatment from the imperial physician." Zhao De turned pale with shock when he saw the mottled blood on Zhou Xing's body.

Zhou Xing endured the pain all over his body, and said in a hoarse voice: "You can't find the imperial physician, let alone alarm Father."

The fact that he robbed Gu Xiyan cannot reach the ears of the emperor.

Zhao De quickly replied: "Yes, when the time comes to seek medical treatment from a doctor, it is important that His Highness returns to the palace first."

Zhou Xing's eyes were gloomy and cold: "Find out the identity of the masked man for me, and I will personally cut that man into pieces."

He couldn't forget the way the masked man looked at him as if he was looking at a dead man. The most terrifying thing was that man's unfathomable inner strength.

Under the hands of the masked man, he was powerless to fight back.

"It's too late today, why don't you go to the Marquis Mansion tomorrow to ask Miss Gu?" Zhao De knew that Zhou Xing was angry, so he didn't dare to speak too loudly.

"Do you think the masked man will let Xiyan know his identity?" Zhou Xing sneered and hooked his lips.

Zhao De guessed: "Perhaps it's someone Miss Gu knows?"

"Xi Yan's position in the Hou Mansion is embarrassing, where can I meet such a powerful person?" Zhou Xing felt that this was impossible.

Zhao De was dumbfounded for a moment, thinking that what the master said made sense.

"Send someone over to the Bieyuan to carefully check whether there is any evidence left at the scene. I will investigate this matter carefully, and I must find out the masked man! Remember to conduct a thorough investigation in secret, and don't disturb the palace." Zhou Xing said angrily.

For the first time in so many years, someone embarrassed him and almost killed him. If Gu Xiyan hadn't stopped him, he would have died at the scene.

Maybe Xiyan still has him in her heart, otherwise why would she save him?

He just wished he could find out that masked man and fry him to pieces.

After returning to the palace and seeing the doctor, Zhou Xing was still in pain. He couldn't fall asleep all night, and finally fell asleep when it was almost dawn, but in the dream, the red eyes of the masked man looked at him, as if he was looking at ants.

This room Gu Xiyan also didn't sleep well, as soon as she closed her eyes, Zhou Mu would kiss her.

She was afraid of disturbing Chunhua, so she lay on the canopy bed and remained motionless.

She also didn't know why she kept thinking about the scene of Zhou Mu kissing her over and over again. At that time, she was in a daze, and she didn't know how she felt, she only knew that her mouth was finally numb by the kiss.

Looking back now, she strangely remembered all the details.

For example, Zhou Mu's lips are very soft. When he kissed her, he was gentle at first, but then he kissed her more and more forcefully.

The more she thought about it, the hotter her face became, and then she simply pulled up the quilt and covered her face...

Zhou Mu next door also couldn't sleep.

He kept reminiscing about the kiss on the carriage, and hated himself for being too abrupt, for belittling Gu Xiyan again for his own selfish desire.

She hadn't married him yet, but he relied on kissing her during his illness.

He originally planned to propose marriage to Gu Xiyan after his illness was cured, and to finalize their marriage.

During his illness today, when he saw Gu Xiyan, he regained some sanity, and after he smelled the incense on her body, his frantic mood became much calmer.

During his illness last time, he didn't recognize anyone at all, but he still didn't hurt Gu Xiyan.

Does this mean that Gu Xiyan can cure his illness?

If so, he doesn't need to wait until his illness is cured before marrying Gu Xiyan, does he?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the truth, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that Gu Xiyan was the medicine to heal himself.

Only two words filled his mind: Marry her! !

Qi Zhiyuan fell asleep, but when he was in a daze, he became aware of someone in the room.

He opened his eyes suddenly, and was about to hit the opponent with his palm, but found that the person standing at the head of his bed turned out to be his master.

He jumped up: "Is the young master sick?"

Zhou Mu opened his lips calmly: "Your vigilance is too low."

Qi Zhiyuan secretly slandered that it was not that his vigilance was too low, but that the young master's inner strength was too deep. Besides, who would stay up in the middle of the night and stand in front of someone's bed?

He glanced at the hourglass, it was already the fourth watch, and he asked in surprise, "Young master, are you still awake at this hour?"

At this time Zhou Mu sat down on the edge of the bed, Qi Zhiyuan was overwhelmed by flattery, and hurriedly gave up his seat: "Young master, do you want to talk about something important with your subordinates?"

"There is something important I want to tell you. Today when I was sick and saw Miss Gu, my sanity recovered, right?" Zhou Mu looked serious, staring at Qi Zhiyuan's face.

Qi Zhiyuan's scalp went numb from Zhou Mu's gaze.

He felt that if he dared to say "no", the young master might wring his head off.

"Yeah, Miss Gu is amazing. Young Master has never tried to regain his sanity so quickly before, but Miss Gu did it easily." Qi Zhiyuan felt that it was right to say good things about Miss Gu, because Young Master loved to hear it.

"Zhiyuan, what do you think of me marrying Miss Gu?" Zhou Mu finally got to the point.

He desperately needed someone's approval, telling him that it was right to marry Gu Xiyan.

Because he has no friends, Zhiyuan is the closest person to him, similar to his brother, so he came to Zhiyuan to ask.

Qi Zhiyuan's eyes lit up: "That's a great thing, this subordinate raised his hands to agree. By the way, this matter must be reported to His Majesty first, and this subordinate will enter the palace now..."

"Calm down, the gate of the palace is not unlocked yet, you can enter the palace later..." Zhou Mu's voice faded away.

Seeing Zhou Mu hesitate to speak, Qi Zhiyuan asked, "What else can you order, Master?"

"I haven't talked to Ms. Gu yet, so I have to ask Ms. Gu what she means first. Don't be too hasty. Don't talk to my father about this for now." Zhou Mu's long and narrow eyes were even darker in the dark night.
