Chapter 402 Staying home at night

"I didn't expect it to be so fast. Everything was under the plan of the prince, but the process was faster than the prince expected." Qiushi smiled all over his face.

The separation of Liu Shuzheng and Wanqing Houfu soon spread in the capital. This was a big event. Everyone knows that Liu Shuzheng once wanted to drive Gu Xiyan out of the Marquis Mansion, and the fact that Li family killed the eldest Gu family has long been spread in the capital.

The reason why Liu Shuzheng broke up the family this time was simply because the old lady did not agree with Liu Shuzheng's marriage to Xiao Ya.

The reason why Xiao Yahui and Liu Shuzheng hooked up again was because Gu Xiyan was behind it.

　　At that time, the great Gu family was killed by the Li family, and Liu Shuzheng was the culprit.

If Liu Shuzheng hadn't fallen in love with each other and accepted the vicious woman Li, how could the great Gu family have died in such a miserable way?

 After dealing with the Li family, Gu Xiyan's next target of revenge was naturally Liu Shuzheng. Liu Shuzheng killed his first wife, but he still enjoyed the glory and wealth for these years. This was what Gu Xiyan hated Liu Shuzheng the most.

Since Liu Shuzheng likes the new and hates the old, let Xiao Ya drag Liu Shuzheng into hell.

After the Li family was banned, Liu Shuzheng met Xiao Ya again and fell in love with Xiao Ya more and more. However, the old lady firmly opposed Liu Shuzheng marrying Xiao Ya into the marquis mansion. I was so angry that I fainted.

 Liu Shuzheng moved out of the Marquis Mansion today and officially separated from Marquis Wanqing.

 The plan to deal with Liu Shuzheng has just begun.

Gu Xiyan wanted Liu Shuzheng to experience the feeling of being betrayed and left with nothing.

"Xiao Ya is quite capable. With her here, the plan can proceed so smoothly." Gu Xiyan was in a good mood.

That time when Xiao Ya was kicked out of Wanqinghou Mansion, she specially gave Xiao Ya a ride. It was after that that she got in touch with Xiao Ya. Xiao Ya has seen everything in the world since she was a child. After Liu Shuzheng abandoned her, she saw through it all.

Gu Xiyan helped Xiao Ya get rid of poverty and become independent, while Xiao Ya helped her deal with Liu Shuzheng, and the two hit it off.

Everyone in Qishiyuan could tell that Gu Xiyan was in a good mood. When Zhou Mu hadn't returned home until evening, Gu Xiyan couldn't laugh anymore.

 “Zhiyuan hasn’t come back either?” Gu Xiyan frowned slightly.

At this time, the palace has already issued the key. If Zhou Mu does not return home, will he linger outside or stay in the palace?

"Since Zhiyuan has not been seen and no one has summoned him, is it possible that His Highness is still angry with the princess?" Qiushi questioned.

 Gu Xiyan remembered that Zhou Mu didn’t look wrong when he left in the morning, there shouldn’t be anything wrong, right?

 But he is more energetic this time, which is indeed different from the past.

"It's time, you eat first, maybe His Highness will be back later." Hu Die pulled Gu Xiyan to sit down.

Gu Xiyan felt the same, but her heart was only focused on Zhou Mu, worried that he wouldn't come back tonight.

After Shishishiwei finished her meal, Zhou Mu was still nowhere to be seen. She planned to wait for Zhou Mu at the door of her house.

Hu Die felt that this was not like Gu Xiyan's temperament.

 Gu Xiyan usually has a calm temperament and rarely becomes unable to sit still. Situations like today are very rare.

"His Highness must have something to do today so he didn't go home. You can just wait in Qi Shiyuan. Furthermore, you have repeatedly given in and set a precedent. In the future, you will have to coax His Highness. Aren't you being suppressed by His Highness?" Hu Die followed Gu Xiyan and whispered.

Gu Xiyan laughed: "You girl, you think long term."

"Originally. His Highness is giving you everything now, but since yesterday, he has started to make trouble with you, and he is very angry. You coaxed His Highness like that, and His Highness even gave you a cold face. It would be me facing you instead. How can you give up such a beauty? So, His Highness is actually cold-hearted." Hu Die was filled with emotion.

 Gu Xiyan did not agree with Hu Die's previous words, but she agreed with Hu Die's final conclusion.

I don’t know whether it’s because of his nature or because he grew up in Fallen Immortal Temple. Zhou Mu is cold-hearted at heart.     In his previous life, Zhou Mu did not have any major emotional ups and downs no matter what people or events he faced. He can even leave the throne easily, let alone other things?

In this life, he married her, and his temper seemed to be better than in the previous life, but this person was cold-hearted at heart.

The only person he cares about the most is her, right? It happened that she was the first one to **** him off yesterday, and the person who usually doted on her had to give her a cold face.

"It was my fault yesterday. It's not surprising that he would be angry." Gu Xiyan's eyebrows became gentle when she mentioned Zhou Mu.

Hu Die stared blankly at Gu Xiyan's gentle profile, feeling that this girl must like Zhou Mu as much as Zhou Mu liked her.

 It’s just that Xi Yan looks gentle and temperless on the surface, but her emotions are reserved. Zhou Mu looks aloof, but he is very enthusiastic when facing Xi Yan.

 So everyone felt that Zhou Mu doted on Xi Yan more, but Xi Yan doted on Zhou Mu just the same, but Xi Yan's doting on her was not so obvious.

She feels that seeing couples like Xi Yan and Zhou Mu, she will have very high demands on her partner in the future. It must be difficult for her to get married, right?

The two of them went to the gate of Zhou Mansion and chatted while waiting for someone.

Zhou Mu actually left the palace early yesterday because Emperor Cheng De left him a bunch of government affairs to handle. With two days of things piled up together, it was too late to leave the palace.

By the time he regained his composure, the palace keys had already been issued, and he couldn't even send a message to the palace.

Emperor Cheng De was happy when he knew that Zhou Mu had missed the time to leave the palace. He also wanted Zhou Mu to stay in his palace, but Zhou Mu looked disgusted and was unwilling to sleep with him.

“I am not a child, how can I sleep with my father?” Zhou Mu stared at Emperor Chengde as if he were a monster.

Emperor Cheng De sighed softly: "Your child has never slept with me since he was a child."

Zhou Mu pretended not to hear anything. Anyway, he couldn't sleep with anyone other than Yan Yan on New Year's Eve. That situation was unthinkable.

"That's all, play two games with me." Emperor Chengde could only retreat and take the next best shot.

This time Zhou Mu readily agreed.

 He was always distracted during the chess game and looked preoccupied.

"What's on your mind?" Emperor Chengde couldn't help but ask.

"I didn't have time to tell Xi Yan today. This is the first time that I haven't returned home since I got married. I don't know if Xi Yan will be worried." Zhou Mu murmured.

What should we do if that girl is stupid and insists on waiting for him to come home?

"The key has been issued today, so there is no point in worrying about it. Let Zhiyuan leave the palace early tomorrow morning and just tell Xiyan." Emperor Cheng De felt that this was not a big deal.

The partial son Mo Shen didn't keep the house. The child looked at Gao Leng, but it was not a way out.

Although Zhou Mu was restless, he still defeated Emperor Cheng De in the first game.

 Emperor Cheng De felt ashamed, and he was very proud of having such an outstanding son.

Zhou Mu played two games with Emperor Cheng De. Even if he didn't concentrate, Emperor Cheng De lost both games.

 Because Zhou Mu did not have a bedroom in the palace, he ended up staying in the side hall of Qiankun Palace. Whether it was because he recognized the bed or because he was worried about his wife outside the palace, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep that night.
