Chapter 115

Gu Ying did not feel he was a person who disrespected her, so she wanted to talk with him properly, "Prince, let's have a good talk ..."

"Mm." Zhao Changdu responded in a low voice, did not let go, but used some strength to hug her tighter.

He just hugged her, with no other intimate actions.

Gu Ying tiptoed, with her chin resting on his shoulder. The man's cold and indifferent aura enveloped her, and the warm body temperature transferred to her, slowly calming her turbulent and panicked mood.

Outside, the grim cold wind slapped the window lattices, making a sound that made people's hearts tremble.

Gu Ying stood stiffly as he hugged her.

He just hugged her for a while, with his chin resting on the back of her head, the tip of his nose full of his refreshing scent. She didn't know ... what exactly he wanted to do.

After a long time, Gu Ying finally heard the man's low, gloomy voice, "The rumors said that Miss Gu who doesn't recognize big characters, when did she learn to write such fluent and beautiful regular script?"

Gu Ying's face was hot and misty, "I... taught myself in secret."

She didn't mean to tell the truth. This man was extremely wise and decisive. If she said she had died once, let alone getting married, she was afraid he would regard her as a monster and burn her to ashes.

Zhao Changdu didn't doubt her words. He patted her back with his big hand, and when she was confused, he bent down and picked her up horizontally.

Gu Ying's body suddenly became light, and she hurriedly hugged his neck, lowered her voice and accused, "Prince, what are you doing! It is a big taboo for you to enter a woman's bedroom at night. How can you—"

Zhao Changdu's expression remained unchanged. He asked matter-of-factly, "Let me see if you are better."

Gu Ying pursed her lips and covered her clothes. Her ears and cheeks flushed red, "It's already fine, no need to see..." The man's tone was puzzled, "So soon it's better?"

He couldn't control his strength, it was so fierce, and her body was delicate, how could she withstand it.

Gu Ying turned her face away, unwilling to talk to him about such things. She muttered in a muffled voice, "Mm..."

Anyway, no matter what, he couldn't let him see.

Zhao Changdu carried her to the embroidered bed. Gu Ying moved inward like a cat, and pulled the quilt over to cover her spring scenery.

Zhao Changdu's gaze was as deep as the boundless night.

He looked at her guarded eyes leisurely. He smiled and said, "Does it still hurt?"

If it weren't for his unique handsome face, this would sound like those old rogues outside.

Gu Ying was ashamed with anger. Her neck revealed a faint pink color, and the tip of her nose also turned red. "Zhao Changdu, can you please shut up and stop talking?"

Such a thing happened once and it was embarrassing enough. But in her previous and present lives, she had stumbled because of him twice... It could no longer be described as just embarrassing.

What’s more, although she fainted from exhaustion last night, she had no time to think about anything else. But tonight he came to disturb her again, making her so ashamed that she wished she could dig a hole and bury herself.

Zhao Changdu spread his long legs apart, his black long robe falling to the ground. He rested his elbows on his knees, with an aura of majesty and oppression.

He looked at her hibiscus-like cheeks, "Hmm, you're bolder now, daring to call me by my name directly."

Judging from his tone, he seemed quite pleased.

Gu Ying didn't know that originally only Huo Qiyan could call him directly by his name. If she had known, she would not have called him that tonight no matter how angry she was.

Gu Ying bit her lip, "Prince, isn't it late now, shouldn't you leave?"

Zhao Changdu didn't move. He slanted his long eyes and glanced at her, "Didn't you want to find Imperial Physician Wang?"

Gu Ying suddenly raised her head, looking at him eagerly, "Prince, do you know where Imperial Physician Wang is?"

Zhao Changdu chuckled softly, "As long as you want, I can arrange for him to come to the mansion as soon as possible to treat your brother."

Gu Ying was both surprised and delighted. But after the surprise and joy, her face became complicated again as she twisted her clothes and said solemnly, "I have nothing to give the prince. If the prince helps me this time, after I marry the prince in the future, I will definitely help the prince provoke Cheng several times ..." The implication was that besides this, he shouldn't expect anything else.

Zhao Changdu smiled helplessly, "In your eyes, am I just a beast who can't control his lower body?"

Gu Ying: "No..."

Zhao Changdu: "At least I have been celibate for more than twenty years, never indulging in affairs between men and women. You don't have to be so nervous."

Gu Ying was taken aback. This was his first time too?

She didn't think more about it, and pretended to chuckle lightly, "I'm not nervous."

Although she said she wasn't nervous, those pitch black eyes like black jade still contained 120,000 points of vigilance. She didn't know what she had experienced that made her look at men always with an extra layer of unspeakable estrangement and fear.

Zhao Changdu sighed, "What happened yesterday—"

In the middle of the night, in the room by the bed, Gu Ying was afraid he would make some strange requests, and quickly interrupted him, "What happened yesterday, thank you prince. In the future, I will be careful and not be fooled by others."

Zhao Changdu glanced at her indifferently, "I wanted to say, what happened yesterday was unavoidable. In the future, I will respect your opinion. If you don't let me touch you, I will never touch you."

Gu Ying was stunned for a moment, and tears rolled down her eyes.

Zhao Changdu stretched out his big hand and wiped away the tears on her face, "Why are you crying?"

Gu Ying smiled and sniffed, "It's okay, I just suddenly thought that with my reputation, I can still marry the prince like you. I don't know in my previous life..."

When she got here, she couldn't speak again.

If she said she did good deeds and accumulated virtues in her previous life, so in this life she could meet someone like Zhao Changdu, it would be fine. But in her previous life, she was silly and obsessed all her life for a man, and gave up everything, love, hate, and obsession. She fought with Gu Jia and Jiang Ling'er for a few years, and lost in the end, dying in the deserted temple.

She didn't do anything great, she just treated everyone she met with a sincere heart.

But in the end, how was it? Still desperate and helpless when she died.

Zhao Changdu silently looked at her for a while, "Do you want a hug?"

Gu Ying looked at his embrace with red eyes.

Zhao Changdu put his long arm around her and let her lean against him. Gu Ying's body stiffened, and seeing that he only hugged her without doing anything else, she slowly relaxed.
