Gu Lingyue’s heart was extremely vexed. She wished she could push this annoying man away with a slap, but she could not. She could only endure the annoyance in her heart and say, “Your Highness, today is the palace banquet, you can’t act rashly. Moreover, it’s not that Yue’er doesn’t like this place, but rather, I feel that this place is quite good.”
“But I think it’s better to be alone with you.” Prince Heng could not understand why he was so impulsive. He realized that every time he saw Gu Lingyue, he would be unable to hold back. This woman had a magical power that made him reject her without reason. He could only fall deeper and go crazy for her.
Gu Lingyue was like a thousand-year-old vixen as she secretly hooked Prince Hengs finger under the table. “Your Highness, don’t be so anxious. Let me go out and take a breath of fresh air first. When we return, we’ll leave after a while to avoid His Majesty’s blame.”
Prince Heng looked at Rong Xiaotian, who was sitting in a high position. He knew that his position in the emperor’s heart was not as good as before. He could not act as he pleased.
“Alright then, I will wait for you here. Go quickly and come back quickly.”
Prince Heng gazed deeply at Gu Lingyue, watching her leave Changming Hall.
After they left Changming Palace, Gu Lingyue impatiently waved at the maids who were following her closely and said with a cold expression, “Alright, don’t follow me. I want to walk around by myself and get some fresh air.”
The maidservants did not dare to disobey and kept a certain distance from Gu Lingyue. They watched as Gu Lingyue walked alone to a long corridor not far away.
Hearing the music coming from the palace not far away, Gu Lingyue’s eyes were filled with anxiety. “Damn it, didn’t they say that Rong Zhan would not attend the palace banquet with Rong Han? Why is he not the only one here? Why is that b*tch Gu Qingxue here as well?”
The flesh on Gu Lingyue’s back twitched and the old woman’s cold voice came from the human-faced sore on her back. “It’s only natural for the situation to change. You should have known that you wouldn’t be able poison Rong Han so easily. You were too careless and underestimated your enemy.”
Gu Lingyue had a dissatisfied expression on her face as she continued to complain, “Master, with Rong Zhan and Gu Qingxue around, Rong Han won’t have the chance to be alone. 1 can’t cast the Gu on him.”
“You can choose not to put the Gu on him. However, let me remind you that the Lord is getting impatient. If you can’t produce any results, the Lord will not allow me to help you. When that happens, you will definitely lose Prince Hengs favor…”
“No, Master, I can’t lose Prince Heng as my backer. I don’t want to live like before!” Gu Lingyue recalled the time when she had just been chased out of the Gu family and the miserable days she had lived. She was so afraid that her whole body was trembling.
In response, the old woman merely snorted in disdain, “If you know fear, then you should know what you should do next.”
Gu Lingyue lowered her head weakly. “B-but I don’t know what to do,”
“Yue’er, I believe that you can think of a way…” The old woman suddenly heard a slight noise from a corner not far away and immediately stopped talking.
Gu Lingyue also stopped talking and quickly lowered her footsteps. Then, she quickly walked in the direction that the old woman had told her and went to the corner. She grabbed the little thing that was hiding there and eavesdropping and pulled her out. “How dare you eavesdrop, slave?!”
