Chapter 948: Chapter 948: The Stand-in Empress vs. the True Love Concubine (Part 13)
This look clearly shows anger.
Yun Qi is not a fool, knowing that letting his wife leave at this moment would be truly foolish.
He looked at Gu Shengyin seriously and said, "The one who should leave is not you."
If not her, then it must be someone else.
Lu Xi’s face turned instantly pale.
This statement from Yun Qi was like making a choice between the two of them in front of them.
And she was the one being abandoned.
Lu Xi’s eyes reddened, and she finally couldn’t hold back her tears.
All her sweet memories, those dreams of splendor and wealth, seemed to become illusions at this moment.
No, it shouldn’t be like this, clearly, it was not like this a few days ago!
Gu Shengyin seemed unconcerned about the entanglements between the two.
She didn’t even spare Lu Xi a glance, appearing disinterested in this woman, but instead looked at Yun Qi: "Your Highness, this is a personal matter for Your Highness, it would be better for you to resolve it yourself. However..."
Her hands tucked inside her sleeves, the wide robe sleeves slightly lifted by the breeze, exuding an air of grand elegance: "No matter what, it would be best to resolve this matter early, otherwise, if word spreads, it might not be beneficial to the Crown Prince’s reputation."
Yun Qi was speechless; he no longer held onto Gu Shengyin, simply watching as her figure walked farther away.
"Mistress, how can you leave?" Only when they were far away, Gu Shengyin’s close Senior Palace Maid Cai He anxiously spoke to Gu Shengyin.
In such a situation, how can the Crown Princess Consort allow His Highness and Lady Lu to have time alone together?
Gu Shengyin glanced at her, smiling faintly: "Go to the kitchen and have them prepare a lighter meal tonight for me."
Cai He saw her showing no concern and grew more worried, but she couldn’t interfere in her mistress’s affairs, sighed, paid her respects to Gu Shengyin, and withdrew.
Gu Shengyin, unconcerned, strolled alone in the garden.
She certainly knew what Cai He was worried about, nothing more than fearing what might happen if those two were alone.
But if those two really needed her to constantly watch to avoid certain things, then what would be the point of being a couple?
Moreover, she had enough confidence in her own man.
She chose to leave simply to give Yun Qi a chance to deal with the mess left by the original owner.
She was unwilling to clean up the romantic entanglements Yun Qi left behind.
The scene returns to the pavilion.
Ying Fu had already taken the opportunity to walk to a spot not far away, maintaining a distance where she could react timely yet couldn’t hear her master’s conversation.
At this moment, only two people remained here.
With outsiders gone, the expression on Lu Xi’s face instantly changed.
Beyond the earlier pitifulness, there was more profound affection in her eyes.
"Brother Yun Qi..." she called out sincerely.
Yun Qi frowned slightly: "Miss Lu, please mind your manners; not just anyone can call my name."
Lu Xi looked at him with a pale face: "Yun Qi... Crown Prince, have you forgotten the vows we made to each other?"
Yun Qi felt somewhat vexed, but he had inherited the body of the Crown Prince Yun Qi, and inevitably had to resolve the matters he left behind, whether good or bad.
However, he couldn’t bring himself to get angry with a girl.
Furthermore, with Lu Xi’s behavior, the former Crown Prince Yun Qi wasn’t entirely innocent either.
He thought carefully about his words and said as tactfully as possible, "Miss Lu, the past is best left forgotten."
