Gu Zening suddenly fell into silence, but did not say much on this topic.
Seeing this, Nangong Xi and others didn't say anything more. After all, Gu Zening's attitude had been quite obvious over the years.
From the beginning to the end, he never said anything about asking Nangong Ling to wait for him. It was just that she had been stubbornly waiting for him.
Although Nangong Xi always called her fourth sister Tigress, she had to say that she really showed all her tenderness in front of Gu Zening.
Gu Zening didn't know what was going on. He was usually very carefree and honest about other things.
But in this matter, he always felt that there was something wrong, but this guy didn't say anything, which was really worrying.
Mu Zhiqing looked at her fourth senior brother. Based on her understanding of the fourth senior brother, it was absolutely impossible to say that she was indifferent to the fourth princess.
If he had really never taken it to heart, the fourth senior brother wouldn't have such a complicated expression now.
This really made her curious about what happened back then. If the fourth senior brother liked the fourth princess, there would clearly be no obstacles between them!
She couldn't drag it out like this any longer, she had to find a chance to figure this out.
This happiness is right in front of you, you can't just watch it slip away.
It wasn't until Gu Zening and Nangong Ling were walking in front that Mu Zhiqing approached Nangong Xi and said, "Has there been any misunderstanding between the fourth senior brother and the fourth princess?"
When Nangong Xi saw Mu Zhiqing taking the initiative to approach him, a hint of joy appeared in her eyes.
But when he mentioned this, his expression became a little complicated.
"I don't know either. In fact, the fourth sister and Gu Zening have always had a good relationship before. They grew up together when they were young, as well as the eldest brother Gu Yingyan."
"Gu Yingyan?"
Mu Zhiqing raised her eyebrows slightly, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Nangong Xi noticed her puzzled expression and couldn't help but said, "Don't you know that Gu Zening also has an eldest brother, Gu Yingyan?"
Mu Zhiqing shook her head, "I don't know!"
"Brother Gu Yingyan is also very good. When Gu Zening and Gu Yingyan were studying at the imperial palace, the fourth sister was with them.
The relationship between the three of them was very good at that time, but later the eldest brother Gu Yingyan encountered danger during a training session and never came back. "
Nangong Xi looked regretful, "Since then, Gu Zening went to the Diyun Palace as an errand, but within a year, he went to the mountains to learn skills."
Hearing this, Mu Zhiqing seemed to have discovered something keenly, sensing something amiss.
"Then Gu Yingyan...will he like the fourth princess?"
Mu Zhiqing was thinking in her heart. The three of them have been on good terms since childhood. Although this kind of thing sounds a bit silly, the possibility of it happening is actually not small.
Especially since Gu Yingyan later died, leaving only the fourth senior brother and the fourth princess, the relationship may have become more complicated...
"No?" Nangong Xi frowned, "When the fourth sister was studying, I was younger than her. I didn't go to study at the beginning. Even if I did later, I still left a deep impression."
Mu Zhiqing was not surprised. Nangong Xi was younger than Gu Zening and the others, so they were naturally not together at the time.
"I think the crux of the problem may be here."
Call it her keen intuition.
With the temperament of the fourth senior brother, it is absolutely impossible for him to treat the fourth princess like this for no reason.
