Chapter 358 Wen Zhu was teased
Wen Zhu stopped and looked at Gu Jianyue. Just as he was about to nod and say hello to Gu Jianyue, Xie Qingrou, who was leaning on Gu Jianyue, moved.
Xie Qingrou raised her confused eyes and looked at Wen Zhu who was standing opposite her. Because of drinking, Xie Qingrou's cheeks were red, and even her eyes were slightly bloodshot. She broke away from the body that was leaning on Gu Jianyue and walked to Wen Zhu with unsteady steps.
As she was getting closer to Wen Zhu, her footing slipped and she fell forward without keeping her balance. Fortunately, Wen Zhu was quick to support Xie Qingrou and prevented her from falling to the ground. However, Xie Qingrou's whole body leaned on Wen Zhu.
Gu Jianyue also tried to support Xie Qingrou, but missed, and her hands stopped awkwardly in the air.
Xie Qingrou's body limply let Wen Zhu support her. She couldn't help but lean into Wen Zhu's arms and rubbed his chest a few times. Her hot fingers touched Wen Zhu's cheek and couldn't help but caressing it. "What a handsome young man. You seem to have a good body too. Do you want to serve me? I have plenty of money."
Gu Jianyue quickly withdrew her hand that was suspended in mid-air, and looked at the two of them with complicated eyes. Her chest felt stuffy and uncomfortable, as if something was taken away. After just two glances, she couldn't help but lower her eyes.
Noticing Gu Jianyue's mood, Wen Zhu didn't care whether the person in his arms was the princess or not. He quickly pushed Xie Qingrou away and took a few steps back in panic. "If the princess likes, I can go outside the palace to find a young servant to serve her. However, I have something important to do with the queen, so I will not accompany you."
Xie Qingrou stood there staggering, staring at Wen Zhu who was ten feet away from her with a dazed look, her eyes avoiding her like those of a snake or scorpion.
Why doesn't her husband look at other women like this?
Xie Qingrou couldn't help but sneer, "What a boring young man."
Gu Jianyue stepped forward to support the shaky Xie Qingrou, "Since the young master is bored, I will help the princess to rest. The queen has sent someone to make a hangover soup for the princess. After drinking the soup and having a good sleep, all the troubles will be gone."
Xie Qingrou did not respond to Gu Jianyue, but her heavy eyes could not help but droop.
He let Gu Jianyue support him and walk to the side room.
When passing by Wen Zhu, Gu Jianyue didn't even look at Wen Zhu, but walked straight past her.
Wen Zhu looked at Gu Jianyue's departing back, and his heart suddenly twitched with an inexplicable feeling, as if something had slipped away from him. This was a feeling he had never had before. He had killed so many people and done so many bad things, but his mood had never fluctuated like this.
Especially when he was supporting Princess Rou just now, the way Gu Jianyue looked at him made him inexplicably nervous, as if he had done something extremely wrong, and a sense of guilt inexplicably arose in his mind.
He knew that such emotions were not a good thing for him.
But still sinking uncontrollably.
In addition to the main hall, Kunning Palace also has the east and west wing rooms. The palace maids who serve Gu Jianchu live in the backyard.
Gu Jianyue and Mrs. Gu lived in the east wing, while Xie Qingrou was arranged to live in the west wing.
The west wing is a room with two entrances, and all the furnishings and supplies were newly replaced by the palace servants at Gu Jianchu's request.
With Zhiqiu's help, Gu Jianyue waited for Xie Qingrou to lie down on the bed. After pulling up the quilt, Gu Jianyue did not linger any longer and turned to leave the west wing. She also reminded the palace maids guarding the door, "The princess has gone to bed now. Please pay more attention to the movements inside. If you need anything, please let me or Zhuxia know."
"Also, when the kitchen brings the sobering soup over later, remember to give it to the princess." Gu Jianyue gave a few instructions and turned to walk towards the front yard.
The palace maids serving Xie Qingrou were all temporarily assigned by Gu Jianchu.
Xie Qingrou came back alone, without any palace maids to serve her. Naturally, those guards could not follow her into Kunning Palace to serve her closely. After all, this was the inner palace. Even if those people were Xie Qingrou's men, they were not allowed to enter the palace.
Gu Jianyue walked to the corner and saw Wen Zhu standing there. Gu Jianyue could not help but stop. After a moment, he walked up to Wen Zhu with cold eyes and said, "Don't you have something important to see the Queen? Why don't you go in?"
Wen Zhu looked at the gentle Gu Jianyue in front of him and hesitantly said, "Before seeing the Queen, I think I still need to explain to you what happened just now."
Gu Jianyue felt warm in her heart when she saw Wen Zhu, who looked at him with a bewildered look, especially his conflicted and hesitant expression.
Gu Jianyue didn't show much, instead, her face was cold, "What is there to explain? I was there just now, and I saw it clearly. The princess was drunk and accidentally fell. Lord Wen was quick to support the princess and prevented her from falling. It was also because the princess was drunk that she mistook Lord Wen for someone else, so Lord Wen has no reason to explain."
After hearing what Gu Jianyue said, Wen Zhu suddenly became anxious and blurted out, "I'm just afraid that you'll be angry."
As soon as he said that, Wen Zhu realized what he was doing and immediately regretted it.
"Don't worry, I'm not angry." Gu Jianyue was indeed not angry. She saw everything clearly there and there was no misunderstanding. She just felt a little depressed, especially when she saw Wen Zhu being teased by Xie Qingrou.
She was not a naive little girl who knew nothing. She knew what had happened to her just now.
Because of Wen Zhu's many times of help before, she did develop unusual feelings for Wen Zhu, but after calming down, she hesitated. She had been married before and had a failed marriage, while Wen Zhu was the emperor's favorite, with a promising future. He could marry a better and more beautiful girl. If she continued like this, it would only delay Wen Zhu, not to mention that her father and brother had a good idea.
They have already married a queen in the palace. If she walks with Wen Zhu at this time, based on Wen Zhu's identity, the emperor will inevitably have some doubts about the Gu family.
Gu Jianyue lowered his eyes in disappointment, but soon regained his usual clarity.
Seeing Wen Zhu hesitating as if she wanted to say something, Gu Jianyue interrupted before she could speak, "The Queen should have finished seeing the emperor. Come in quickly, otherwise the Queen will need to rest soon."
"Do you want me to accompany you in?" Gu Jianyue's tone was so cold that no warmth could be heard in it.
Wen Zhu stared at Gu Jianyue's back, nodded hesitantly and followed Gu Jianyue's footsteps. She always felt that in just a short moment, Gu Jianyue had changed, but seemed not to have changed. An indescribable emotion kept lingering in her heart.
