Chapter 20
The butler directly led Gu Nianchu and Ning Ci'an to the hall of the palace.

As for Duan Zhili, today he changed into a snow-colored long robe, and sat on the main seat, with a sense of elegance in the transparency.

In his hand, he was flipping a book. The slender joints and round nails made it hard to believe that this was the hand of a man who drank blood.

"coming?"

Ning Ci Anxin, who lowered her head, jumped wildly.
I always feel that, amidst the silence, this sound came, not to Gu Nianchu, but to her.

"My lord, long time no see!"

Gu Nianchu seemed to be very excited. Before Lin Wang raised his head from the book, he was already standing there so excited that he didn't know where to put his hands and feet, and his crisp voice sounded like an explosion.

Ning Ci'an's heart was like a million muddy horses galloping past, she only hoped that Young Master Gu could attract all of Lin Wang's mind just like this.

"General Gu will be returning to the capital in a few days, right?"

After a while, Duan Zhili closed the book in his hand, spoke slowly, with a smile on his face, but looked at Gu Nianchu indifferently.

Gu Nianchu couldn't see the coldness in Duan Zhili's eyes, only saw the smile, nodded hurriedly, "The emperor will be very happy in a few days, father will definitely come back."

Hearing this, the smile on Duan Zhili's face grew wider.

And Ning Ci'an behind Gu Nianchu, even if he didn't look up, could still hear the voice of Zhili chuckling, and his chrysanthemum tightened immediately.

Gu Nianchu, Gu Nianchu, do you know that the maid behind you is a lucky girl selected by the court, and she is going to marry into the palace's new queen in a few days!
For some reason, Ning Ci'an heard such a meaning from that laughter.

"Well, General Gu should attend such a grand event." Duan Zhili nodded again, stood up suddenly, and walked towards Gu Nianchu's direction.

Ning Ci'an buried her head lower, her eyes fixed on the snow-colored skirt that was getting closer, and her whole body was tense.

The most dangerous place for bullshit is the safest place. At this moment, she only wished that she could become invisible and disappear from here immediately.

"It's been a long time since I saw my lord. I miss my lordship. I heard that my lord promised to come to the general's mansion to attend a banquet in a few days. I'm very happy. I came here to thank my lord face to face!"

Gu Nianchu saw Duan Zhili approaching, and his heart became more and more excited. His delicate face was a little flushed, and his eyes were shining brightly, looking at the rumored frightening King Lin in front of him.

Hearing Gu Nianchu's words, Ning Ci'an wanted to doubt, could it be that Young Master Gu is a broken sleeve?
Duan Zhili smiled and said nothing, he didn't know what kind of incense was lit in the room, after being inside for a long time, his clothes were also stained, now that he was near Ning Ci'an, the scent hit his nostrils.

Unfortunately, Ning Ci'an seemed to be a little allergic to this fragrance, and he hadn't felt the light fragrance burning in the room yet, but when King Ke Lin approached, his nose itch unbearably.

So much so that she didn't have the heart to listen to what Gu Nianchu and Duan Zhili said later, she just cared about suppressing the itch.

"Almonds? Almonds?!"

Just as she was enduring it, she heard Gu Nianchu raise her voice and call her twice, and Xingren, of course, was calling her.

"Ahh-!"

Ning Ci'an was out of breath, and when Gu Nianchu called her, it was a failure, and she sneezed, which was deafeningly loud in Gu Nianchu's ears.

Immediately, she felt that the surrounding atmosphere was not right, and she was in a state of vigilance, even with her hands in her sleeves, she was in the best state of defense.

"Young General Gu's maid is really rare and unique."

In Duan Zhili's words, there was a hint of teasing, Gu Nianchu thought it was laughing at Xingren's face like a monkey's butt.

The air was stagnant and quiet for a long time, and then Duan Zhili's slight smile came again, "I just went out of the street, and heard that the servant girl of the general's mansion fled boldly, so General Gu personally went to the city gate to intercept and arrest her."

"You made the prince laugh. Xingren is the only maid in the General's Mansion, and she is also the one who has served Nianchu the longest. I'm not used to others, so naturally I want to bring her back and punish her severely."

Gu Nianchu nodded, following Duan Zhili's gaze, he also focused on 'Xingren'.

"It reminds me of another bold woman."

Duan Zhili continued to speak, his tone seemed to remind him of someone.

And at this moment, Ning Ci'an immediately relaxed, feeling certain in her heart.

This Lin Wang must have recognized her.

Ming people don't say dark words, and high-level people don't talk nonsense. This Lin Wang specifically said such a sentence in front of him, obviously implying that he is that bold woman.

After all, she didn't give him a good face when she confronted the beast forest for the first time, and even humiliated the majestic King Lin with words when she was under the tree for the second time.

Now that he recognized it, he had no choice but to cover it up with soldiers!

"Oh? Who does the prince think of?"

Gu Nianchu was really interested, Duan Zhili was a heroic and tall existence in his heart, so he was naturally happy to hear that his maid looked like someone he knew.

"A small pepper."

Duan Zhili laughed again, easily skipped the topic, looked at the sky, "It's not early, let's go after dinner at the palace."

"Thank you brother Ah Li!"

Gu Nianchu was overjoyed immediately, and when he was happy, he called out all his childhood names.

He was happy, but Ning Ci'an behind him had a big head.

*
Sure enough, night fell quickly, and the summer night wind blew on her body with a sense of restless heat.

Gu Nianchu and Duan Zhili had already taken their seats inside, and Ning Ci'an kept her head down. After all, if Duan Zhili didn't reveal her identity, she would only be Xingren, the maid who was captured by Gu Nianchu after he escaped from the General's Mansion. Gu Nianchu would not hand her over to King Lin or the Xiangfu.

Ning Ci'an took advantage of the interval between serving the dishes, and quickly pulled away from Gu Nianchu's side on the grounds that her stomach was uncomfortable.

Duan Zhili was sitting in the main seat, turning his head slightly, looking at Ning Ci'an's back who was walking quickly like a ghost chasing behind him, and the corners of his eyes were raised, revealing an evil.

Ning Ci'an couldn't help but tremble all over, always feeling that her whole body was being watched.

This prince, I am afraid that he has already been heavily guarded, if she wants to take the opportunity to escape, the chances are slim.

'Aww~~'

As soon as he walked to the toilet where the maids of Xiangfu went, he heard a wolf howling from the front right.

Ning Ci'an's eyes lit up!

This Lin Wang is really perverted, there is such a ferocious beast in the prince's house, but he is delighted.

"Oh, I really ate too much today, hurry up and go back!"

"Yeah, you've had a bad stomach too?"

Ning Cian was sitting at the door of the latrine, and was thinking about how to move to the front right, when the door of the latrine in front opened, and a servant girl came out from inside touching her stomach, she nodded quickly in agreement, and got into the latrine.
