Despite Princess Xin'an's repeated persuasion, Gu Mingmou did not accept the gift in the end. In her mind, being courteous for nothing is either adultery or theft. Even if Xie Xie looks like a human being, who knows if he is a ruthless person.
In her previous life, she had seen many people with human faces and animal hearts. She only knew that people's hearts were separated from each other and she could not trust anyone but herself.
After leaving Baizhen Pavilion, the two of them returned to Linshui Residence after seeing that the time was about the same. At this time, the Shuikui dance performance had already begun. More and more people gathered on the shore. It took two hours for the last one to arrive. Dancing along the river.
At this time, the sky has completely darkened, the sky is filled with stars, the shore is full of fireworks, the beauty is dancing alone in the water, her eyes are enchanting, and the veil is flying. I don’t know how many young ladies can’t sleep tonight.
On the way back to the other courtyard, Gu Mingmou learned that the beauty who performed the last dance tonight had come back with them.
The girl's name was Xu Linglong, and she was this year's dance chief. When he learned that the third prince had come to Xiling, the Xiling County Magistrate sent him over without saying a word.
When Gu Mingmou saw the person, she couldn't help being surprised by Xu Linglong's appearance, but the third prince did not accept the person, and instead gave it away to the fourth prince.
Prince Heng did not refuse, and the steward of the other courtyard naturally arranged the person to Prince Heng's courtyard.
Princess Qiyang and the others seem to be used to seeing this and have no reaction. Even Princess Xin'an, who has been in love with Prince Heng for many years, is the same. I am afraid that to her, no matter how beautiful a woman is, she is just a toy and does not pose any threat at all.
Gu Mingmou was destined to be different from them, but Prince Heng had nothing to do with her, and it had nothing to do with her how many women he had accepted, it was just for fun.
When the time was approaching, Gu Mingmou woke up from her nightmare. She hugged the quilt and stared at the tent for a while before getting out of bed and going to the table to pour water. She drank half a glass of water, as if her heart was moved, and suddenly turned her head to look out the window. A person's figure was clearly reflected.
Boom, boom, boom…
The heartbeat was getting louder and louder. For some reason, she didn't feel scared, but felt familiar. Yes, it was the same situation in Changnian Temple that day.
She stood still, just staring at the window. The closed window creaked and revealed a gap under the influence of external forces.
, the gap became wider and wider, the moonlight shone down, and the tall figure of the man under the moon was reflected in the house.
The man was holding the moonlight behind his back, and Gu Mingmu couldn't see the other person's face clearly for a while, but he couldn't miss those double eyes with endless chill.
Prince Heng…
Gu Ming's eyes were dry, his throat was dry, and his hands were shaking. It was Prince Heng!
"Your Majesty..." She opened her mouth and spit out two words.
"Gu Mingmou."
These three words made Gu Mingmou's whole body feel like he was struck by lightning. It was him! He called her name in Changnian Temple, and he will never forget it in this life.
Seeing Prince Heng entering the room and walking towards her step by step, Gu Mingmou seemed to be nailed to the spot, motionless. Those strange eyes were filled with boundless oppression, leaving her unable to resist at all.
She never dreamed that one day she would be related to Prince Heng.
Shen Guiye stood in front of her, looking down at the little girl who only reached his chest. She looked thin and small, with long hair shawl, and her palm-sized face made even smaller. There was a hint of light in her eyes. Frightened, obviously scared but motionless.
This makes people want to bully him, but in fact Prince Heng did so. His hand brushed through the hair hanging by her ears, and gradually came closer to her face. When he was about to touch her, Gu Mingmou suddenly turned his head and hid.
But unexpectedly, Prince Heng suddenly reached out and grabbed her chin, forcefully turning her face away. There was no ambiguity, only the fear that she couldn't bear.
Everything she relied on was useless in front of this man at this moment. She clearly realized that she had no room for resistance.
"Do you like the peach blossom stone I gave you?" A low voice sounded in your ears, with a hoarse tone that made people shudder.
Gu Mingmou swallowed his saliva and looked at him with wide eyes, not knowing how to answer.
"How does it compare to the one Qi Lang gave you?"
"Of course..."
Before Gu Mingmou could say anything, his thumb pressed her lower lip, causing a slight pain on her lip. She no longer dared to speak casually.
"I like obedient little girls. You are so smart, you must know what to say and what not to say, right?" That low voice was like a lover's whisper, speaking to Gu Mingmou
It is boundless darkness and cruelty.
She couldn't figure it out anyway, why Prince Heng targeted her and even acted like this, especially the implicit meaning behind his words, which was that he wanted her to...
Shen Guiye lowered his eyes and looked at her, watching the changes in emotions in her eyes. Although she was smart, she was still too immature, and all her thoughts were reflected on her face. But it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time, and one day he will train her to be the way he likes.
Right? His questions echoed in Gu Mingmou's ears. Of course she knew what was best, but how could she be willing to do so. She resurrected her life, and before she left the wolf's den, she was targeted by a hungry tiger in the blink of an eye, especially since this person was still married to Gu Mingyue in her previous life. But before she could figure it out, something seemed to suddenly explode in her head, and severe pain hit her instantly.
Shen Guiye watched helplessly as Gu Mingmou fell from in front of her, holding his head in his hands and gasping violently with his mouth wide open, like a dying fish.
The sudden change made him frown, but he still reached out to pick her up and carried her back to his bed. It is already thin, but it is even more light when held in the arms, and the weight cannot be felt at all.
Shen Guiye sat on the bed, holding her in one hand. Seeing that her face was twisted and painful, and she even bit her lower lip until it was bloody, he reached out and opened her mouth to stop her from self-mutilation.
The severe headache made Gu Mingmou no longer care about anything. Something kept touching her mouth, and she bit it without hesitation.
When the person in his arms finally calmed down, it was already half an hour later. Shen Guiye took back his hand, and the red blood flowed down the palm of his hand. Looking at the deep tooth marks on the inside of his wrist, it was considered a good one. The wound medicine may also leave traces, Shen Guiye looked gloomy.
The palm of his hand slowly moved to the slender and white neck, and he slowly closed it, with murderous intent leaking out of his eyes. No one has ever dared to leave marks on him, especially a woman.
Gu Mingmou, who fainted from the pain, was breathing rapidly and showed no signs of waking up. Shen Guiye looked down at the pale little face, the movements of his hands gradually slowed down, his thumb gently rubbed her neck, and after a long time he stopped.
He hasn't completely obtained the person yet, at least for now, he doesn't want to take her life. But the price you have to pay will have to be paid sooner or later.
