Chapter 69: Speculation

Tang Chuyao even had a very bold guess. Not only did her mother know Wan Yan Jing, but they might have had a relationship. That meant she might not be Tang Youze’s child!

However, all of this was just her speculation.

After hearing her sister’s account today, she was even more convinced of her guess.

She wanted to see Wan Yan Jing immediately, but Wan Yan Jing was the Liao envoy, staying at the inn, and he was definitely surrounded by experts. It wouldn’t be easy for her to find out what Wan Yan Jing looked like!

“Night Wind!” Tang Chuyao called out. A figure appeared in front of her.

“Miss, what are your orders?”

“Night Wind, I want to see the King!” Tang Chuyao said anxiously.

Night Wind left after receiving the order…

Tang Chuyao paced back and forth in the room. She didn’t know why Gu Qingchen hadn’t appeared for so long.

He usually appeared in her room from time to time. Why hadn’t he shown up for so long today?

After dinner, Tang Chuyao still hadn’t waited for Gu Qingchen. She was about to call Night Wind to ask what was going on when she suddenly heard a sound from the window. A figure appeared in the room.

Gu Qingchen looked like he had been traveling for a long time. Tang Chuyao was a little puzzled and asked, “Your Highness, where have you been?”

But Gu Qingchen didn’t answer Tang Chuyao’s question. Instead, he pulled her into his arms, “Yao’er, I miss you so much…”

Tang Chuyao felt strange. They hadn’t seen each other for a few days. Why was Gu Qingchen reacting like this?

After a while, Gu Qingchen released Tang Chuyao and asked, “I heard from Night Wind that you wanted to see me. What’s the matter?”

Tang Chuyao told Gu Qingchen about Huang Xiaoyu meeting Wan Yan Jing on the street. Gu Qingchen wasn’t surprised. He thought for a moment and said, “That Third Prince of Liao does indeed resemble Yao’er a bit.”

Tang Chuyao looked at him suspiciously and asked, “Did Your Highness meet Wan Yan Jing?”

Gu Qingchen’s eyes darted around. Tang Chuyao had a gut feeling that he was hiding something from her.

“Yao’er, I heard that your maternal grandfather will also be coming to the capital this time.” Gu Qingchen changed the subject.

Sure enough, Tang Chuyao was very happy after hearing Gu Qingchen’s words. She actually forgot about Gu Qingchen’s suspicious expression just now.

At this time, a voice came from outside the door, “Miss?”

It was Dujian ‘s voice. Gu Qingchen kissed Tang Chuyao on the side of her face and turned to leave…

Tang Chuyao blushed and went to open the door. Dujian saw that her Miss’s face was a little red. She thought she was uncomfortable and quickly asked, “Miss, are you feeling unwell?”

“Why is your face so red?”

Tang Chuyao touched her face and then said nonchalantly, “Nothing, it’s probably a bit stuffy in the room.”

“Dujian, what’s wrong?”

As soon as Tang Chuyao finished speaking, a fiery figure appeared in front of her, “Tang Chuyao, this Princess has something important to tell you!”

It was Xiao Gui. Tang Chuyao motioned for Dujian to leave. Dujian turned and left.

Xiao Gui sat down without any ceremony, looking at Tang Chuyao with a look of “anger at her lack of ambition.”

“Do you know where the Regent went today?”

Tang Chuyao thought of Gu Qingchen she had just seen. He was wearing a moon-white robe, with a belt studded with gems around his waist. He looked more approachable than usual, elegant and carefree.

“The King doesn’t have to report his whereabouts to me. How would I know?” Tang Chuyao said nonchalantly.

Xiao Gui looked at Tang Chuyao, not knowing what to say for a moment.

“You really are carefree!”

“You don’t even know your fiancé has been stolen!”

Tang Chuyao looked at Xiao Gui in surprise and asked, “What do you mean, Princess?”

Xiao Gui said impatiently, “Do you know where the Regent went today?”

Tang Chuyao shook her head, indicating that she didn’t know.

Xiao Gui rolled her eyes, “This Princess is really done with you!”

“Your King has been with Wan Yan Liyue for two whole days!”

“You don’t know anything?”

Tang Chuyao felt a dull pain in her heart, unfamiliar, as if someone had hit her with a stick, a dull ache.

No wonder when she asked Gu Qingchen where he had been today, he didn’t answer her, but immediately changed the subject.

Why was Gu Qingchen deceiving her?

“If this Princess hadn’t really felt sorry for you, I wouldn’t have come here!” Xiao Gui continued, but seeing that Tang Chuyao’s face was not looking good, she stopped talking.

Why didn’t Gu Qingchen tell her the truth? Even if he had told her the truth, it wouldn’t have mattered.

Tang Chuyao felt a tightness in her chest, unable to breathe…

After sending Xiao Gui away, Tang Chuyao went out of Wen Yong Bo Mansion alone. Dujian wanted to follow her, but she refused.

She remembered Gu Qingchen kissing her a few days ago, the careful way he looked at her was still flashing in her mind. Men can change their minds, can’t they?

Even if Gu Qingchen liked someone else, it didn’t matter. After all, she just wanted to repay his kindness. If they weren’t meant to be, she would ask Gu Qingchen to go to the emperor and withdraw the marriage!

But there was a faint ache in her heart. Tang Chuyao walked into Jie You Pavilion. Manager Wang saw her immediately and led her to a private room on the second floor, asking the waiter to bring a table of good food.

Tang Chuyao stopped the waiter and asked him to bring a pot of wine.

The bright moon hung high in the sky outside the window. Tang Chuyao held a cup of wine and looked at the moon outside the window. She thought of the Qiqiao Festival, when Gu Qingchen took her to Qiong Xiao Tower for dinner, went boating, and released lanterns…

Maybe she really wasn’t suitable for Gu Qingchen. If it weren’t for her, Gu Qingchen wouldn’t have committed suicide in his previous life…

He would have lived a peaceful life as the Regent, the most noble prince of the Great Qi!

That Liyue was pretty good too, at least her background matched Gu Qingchen’s!

I heard she’s also beautiful. They would be a good match together…

If they got married, they would grow old together, respecting each other…

The more Tang Chuyao thought about it, the more suffocated she felt. She had already drunk half a pot of wine. She had thrown her veil aside, her face flushed red. She leaned on the wine table, looking at the moon outside the window, tears streaming down her cheeks…

Night Wind saw it and was very anxious!

The master was too much! How could he hide from the Miss and go see another woman?

Considering that Jie You Pavilion was the Miss’s property, and Manager Wang was not only loyal but also skilled in martial arts, Night Wind flashed away…

Night Wind heard Night Wind’s words and was also very anxious. The King was currently bathing.

But Night Wind didn’t dare to delay the matter of Tang Chuyao’s marriage. He immediately went to report it.

Gu Qingchen rested his arms on the edge of the bathtub, sitting in the bathtub. His cold face was hidden in the mist. Water droplets slid down the lines of his muscular chest, finally disappearing into the water of the bathtub…

Night Wind knocked on the door, “Master?”

Gu Qingchen thought of the events of the day and felt extremely depressed. Hearing the knock on the door, he said sternly, “Get out!”
