2050

"Go and ask. " Gu Yan looked at the woman kneeling outside the door indifferently.

He remembered that Li Yu had reported to him once before, but he didn't care.

She hadn't seen him, and she had been kneeling outside his courtyard for two hours, right?

This figure was impartial, her back was straight, and even though she was a little thin, a hint of stubbornness could be seen on her slightly lowered face.

She had entered the mansion... ... For seven or eight days. He had gone there every now and then, and she had served him well. She wasn't a talkative person, so why was she kneeling outside his study today ? ?

Gu Yan thought of the woman's background.

She was a princess from Xia country who had lived in exile... ...

Could it be that she was daydreaming and wanted him to help her get revenge Gu Yan's thin lips curled into a faint sneer, and her eyes grew deeper.

"Li Yu, bring her here, " Gu Yan suddenly raised her voice.

His voice was slightly magnetic, and it traveled effortlessly from the door of the study room. Li Yu had just arrived in front of Xia Ling, but he did not have the time to ask.

"Yes, yes, " Li Yu answered and said to Xia Ling, "Madam Xia, come with me. The regent is calling you in. "

"thank you. " Xia Ling smiled at Li Yu and stood up.

She had been kneeling for too long. When Meng ran stood up, her knees could not take it anymore and she almost fell.

Looking at the woman who was like a soft willow, this stubborn and Pale look really made one's heart ache.

Li Yu almost reached out to help her up. Fortunately, he held it in.

This was the master, this was the master!

Li Yu repeated it in his heart many times before he could divert his attention away from Xia Ling.

They arrived at the study room.

Gu Yan sat calmly behind the desk.

This desk was made of top-quality Purple Wood. Beside it, there was a stack of documents and files, as well as the cold word 'Jing' .

This brush stroke walked between dragons and snakes, with the word 'Jing' hanging in the middle. It did not look like a 'Jing' , but more like a sharp sword, piercing straight into the heart of the newcomer.

Xia Ling took a look, and her eyes flashed. She lowered her eyes and withdrew her gaze.

She was not afraid. From the very beginning, everyone said that they were afraid of Gu Yan, but when she saw him, the feeling of understanding his temperament made her less afraid of him.

Even... ...

From the very beginning, when she had plotted against Bai Cui, she had included Gu Yan.

"Your Highness. " Xia Ling entered the study and knelt down. "please save my life! "

With her face lowered, the woman kneeling like this looked very pitiful. Gu Yan could only see some weak and Pale eyes.

"What is it? "

"I... ". ... Today, I was resting beside the garden's rockery with a maidservant. Who would have thought that the maidservant would conspire with director Hu and the two of them intended to do something to me . . I resisted desperately and knocked the maidservant unconscious, but accidentally pushed director Hu into the pool next to the rockery "Manager Hu flew into a rage. I was afraid that manager Hu would punish me, but I couldn't bear the grievance ".. "after all, this backyard is the Lord's backyard, so I beg the Lord to give me justice. "

Xia Ling's tone was filled with grievance. She endured it quietly, but she didn't complain so cleverly.

There were too many tricks in her words. For example, if it was really the maidservant who conspired with Hu Ping, how could a weak woman like her escape from the hands of two people?

One person knocked out the maidservant, and even pushed Hu Ping into the pond No matter how she heard it, it was not something that she could do alone?

Her thoughts turned slightly.

Gu Yan looked at the woman kneeling in the study and her gaze lingered for a long time.

For some reason, he felt uncomfortable when he saw her pale face and slightly red eyes.

He still liked her standing beside him when she helped him stand up like a little wife. Her eyes were gentle and her cheeks were slightly red.
