When leaving Jingshui Building.
Gu Xingchuan was drunk.
This time he was even more intoxicated than the first time Ye Qichi and he went to the brothel.
He couldn’t even walk, and it was Ye Qichi and Lu You who had to support him out.
All the way, they swayed and wobbled.
Lu You was so tired that she was out of breath, "Princess, can we have someone come and pick up Director Gu? I’m exhausted."
As she spoke, she took a deep and heavy breath.
"Where to call for help?!" Ye Qichi was also very tired.
Figuring that men, though they look slim, are as heavy as blocks of iron.
"Not far now, hurry," Ye Qichi gritted her teeth, trying to encourage Lu You.
Lu You had no choice but to proceed, both of them supporting Gu Xingchuan towards the medical hall.
They walked for quite a while.
Finally, with great difficulty, they managed to get Gu Xingchuan back to the medical hall.
Gu Xingchuan’s attendant hurried forward, "Young master, how can you be so drunk?"
"Hurry, help him back to his room," Ye Qichi was so tired she could hardly speak.
The attendant hurriedly tried to take Gu Xingchuan from Ye Qichi and Lu You.
Gu Xingchuan’s body moved slightly, avoiding them.
Breathing out alcohol, he said, "Don’t touch me."
The attendant looked helpless.
Ye Qichi gritted her teeth.
Send a monk all the way to the west, now that they’ve come this far, she said to Lu You, "Let’s go, help him to his room."
At this moment, with sweat on her forehead and body, she was totally breathless.
The two struggled to support Gu Xingchuan back to his room.
The attendant quickly spread out the cotton quilt on the bed.
The moment Ye Qichi let go of Gu Xingchuan, he suddenly exerted force, pulling Ye Qichi down onto the bed with him.
"Ah!" Ye Qichi screamed in fright.
She then felt Gu Xingchuan’s body pressing down on hers...
"Ah!!!" Another voice, screamed even more fiercely.
Lu You quickly covered her mouth.
She couldn’t keep calm at all.
If the Prince knew about this, not just the Prince, if anyone saw this, the Princess would be doomed!
Lu You’s eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
Ye Qichi was also struggling hard to push Gu Xingchuan off.
This guy, drunk as he was, was so difficult to deal with.
"Quickly push your young master off me!" Ye Qichi yelled at Gu Xingchuan’s attendant.
The attendant quickly reacted.
He should have known better since his young master usually avoids physical contact with everyone, let alone initiating contact with others.
He hastened to help the young master up, just touching the young master’s body.
Gu Xingchuan loudly said, "Don’t touch me!"
The attendant was startled.
"I only want Ye Qichi to touch." Gu Xingchuan said.
Clearly full of alcohol breath but his intention seemed very firm.
Ye Qichi was entirely stunned.
The way he spoke... she was afraid she might misconstrue it.
"My lady Princess doesn’t want to touch you, get up quickly," Lu You finally couldn’t hold back, stepping forward to pull Gu Xingchuan.
But Gu Xingchuan being such a large man, utterly drunk, was essentially immovable.
At this moment, Gu Xingchuan seemed not even to feel Lu You pulling him.
His eyes were fixed on Ye Qichi below him.
Ye Qichi also stared back at him with wide eyes.
This guy mustn’t take advantage of being drunk to do something... indecent, right?!
"Ye Qichi," Gu Xingchuan called her name.
Ye Qichi didn’t dare respond.
"You are going to Yuzhou. Burp." Gu Xingchuan belched.
His eyes were hazy, his consciousness not very clear anymore.
"You must not... burp... get into trouble." Gu Xingchuan said intermittently.
In his eyes, there seemed to be some expectation.
Ye Qichi was somewhat moved.
So, Gu Xingchuan was still worried about her going to Yuzhou.
With a light smile, she said, "Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of myself."
"Swear it." Gu Xingchuan looked very serious.
Serious like a stubborn child.
"Okay, I swear," Ye Qichi coaxed.
"And you can’t get hurt," Gu Xingchuan continued to demand.
"Okay, I won’t get hurt."
"After coming back, you must come find me. Immediately."
"Okay," Ye Qichi continued to nod.
"I’ll wait for you," Gu Xingchuan said, looking at her intently, deeply said.
That phrase "I’ll wait for you," was like his vow.
Ye Qichi nodded, "Hmm."
Gu Xingchuan, getting the response he desired, finally relaxed and lay down on the adjacent bed, falling asleep.
Sleeping, he still mumbled, "I’ll wait for you to come back..."
Ye Qichi felt some emotion stirring in her heart.
Being so cherished... she didn’t know whether it was good or bad!
