So Prince Muyi was here? What was he doing at her mansion?
Gu Chaoyan found the whole thing very confusing. She just could not figure out what could have happened, but since she was in a cooperation with Prince Muyi, she nodded and said, “Please ask him to come in.”
Xiu Jie responded and retired.
Gu Chaoyan looked at Sword One. “That should be a good thing. It is always about cause and effect. Mrs. Duke North behaves like this, because of Duke North’s passing and Zheng Chenyi. Zheng Chenyi has just passed 20 years old and it was quite normal that he did not get many ideas in the past, but that drug can not be taken all the time. It is very cruel for someone to have their mind erased.”
Sword One nodded. She believed that her Elder Miss was right.
When she was in the court and heard about how Young Duke got injured, she admired this excellent young man. And she believed that after experiencing some things, he would become even more excellent.
When they were done with the conversation, Prince Muyi arrived. So they dropped their conversation.
Prince Muyi still looked quite hesitant. He was not with the Imperial Master, so he was alone and he looked quite innocent.
Gu Chaoyan was not a person that liked strict manners. So she asked Prince Muyi to take the seat the moment he came in.
She was about to ask Prince Muyi what the matter was, but Prince Muyi started the conversation himself. “Lady Chaoyan, I do have a few things to share with you. I was hesitant, but today, I have decided to spill the truth.”
Hearing these words… Sword One was startled. She was surprised. She even believed that Prince Muyi was going to express his feelings to Chaoyan.
Gu Chaoyan was confused and nodded. “Okay?”
“Lady Chaoyan, do you still remember that Old Master of the Gu Mansion said something bad about you?” Prince Muyi asked.
Gu Chaoyan nodded.
“Actually, something else happened before that, but I did not tell you anything about that,” Prince Muyi said. He looked guilty and self-blaming. “You came to the court when we were having a conversation with the King. At that time, I felt that something was wrong.”
Gu Chaoyan looked indifferent and serious too. She looked at Prince Muyi.
Something else had happened? And she was not aware of that?
“What happened?” Gu Chaoyan asked seriously.
“I met you at Yellow Crane for the first time, and we had an argument over the wine, but the misunderstandings were cleared. When I returned to the hotel, I realized that I liked Lady Chaoyan, so I went to the King and asked him about marrying you.” When Prince Muyi said these words, he had his head lowered. He looked so embarrassed. He should have kept this as a secret of his own, but he had to explain the whole thing clearly right from the beginning.
Gu Chaoyan was surprised. She had no idea about the whole story. Prince Muyi liked her? Why? But… that was not the key point, and Gu Chaoyan was clear about that.
So she asked. “What was the King’s answer?”
