The dark sky, the night colored by the spread of firelight.
A man dressed in white appeared before the crowd, riding a steed.
His features were picturesque, his attire whiter than snow, his eyes like the morning stars.
As if he was the dawn itself!
"Sorry, I am late." Gu Xingchuan’s voice, elegant and magnetic.
Ye Qichi had been in this book for so long.
For the first ti.
She felt sowhat moved.
Moved by Gu Xingchuan who hurried over despite the travel weariness.
Her eyes suddenly reddened.
In the mont she had given up.
Gu Xingchuan brought her hope.
Gu Xingchuan saw the red in Ye Qichi’s eyes, and in that mont, he smiled at her faintly, his smile clearly contained a trace of indulgence, still carrying that aura of an exiled immortal, graceful and elegant.
He said, "I am here."
The latter part, the words "Don’t cry,"
In the end, he did not say in front of everyone.
He dismounted with a nimble leap off the horse.
He did not bow to Xiao Jinxing, but went straight towards Ye Qichi.
Ye Qichi lowered her gaze.
The emotions she experienced just a mont ago seed sudden, and now she seed to be concealing them.
"The dicine is behind." Gu Xingchuan whispered in his magnetic voice, "I and Lord Pang rushed into the city at full speed."
"Mhm." Ye Qichi nodded, nodding earnestly.
She knew it.
Gu Xingchuan would definitely co.
Gu Xingchuan looked at Ye Qichi, his eyes always with a light smile.
He turned and walked towards Xiao Jinxing, who was behind Ye Qichi.
Then, he paid his respects, "Greetings, Prince."
Xiao Jinxing just watched Gu Xingchuan coldly.
Actually, from the mont Gu Xingchuan appeared, he had been looking at him coldly all along.
Watching his interaction with Ye Qichi.
As if.
There was no one else, only Ye Qichi’s interaction.
The emotions revealed in Gu Xingchuan’s eyes... anyone with clear sight could understand them.
Ye Qichi’s gratitude towards Gu Xingchuan.
Could also be seen at a glance.
For a mont.
It seed that in their eyes, there was no one else.
Xiao Jinxing suddenly rembered the words Wu Xufan once said in front of him, about the intimacy between Gu Xingchuan and Ye Qichi, about Gu Xingchuan’s refined, dashing, considerate nature... Wu Xufan’s words, it seems, were true.
"Brother Xiao." Bai Mowan called him softly from the side.
It was as if, the silence lasted too long.
Even Bai Mowan found it a bit unbearable to watch.
After all, Gu Xingchuan was still knelt on the ground at this mont.
Yet Xiao Jinxing did not respond at all.
For Bai Mowan.
She naturally also hoped to use the dicine to save the people.
Gu Xingchuan’s arrival was undoubtedly everyone’s hope.
However, Xiao Jinxing seed to have no joy.
Even, there was so, distance, against Gu Xingchuan.
In the last life.
Gu Xingchuan was the one Xiao Jinxing most relied on.
Their relationship of standing together through life and death... was definitely not as estranged as it is now.
Because of the relationship between Gu Xingchuan and Xiao Jinxing in the last life, she had a slight favor towards Gu Xingchuan.
But the current Xiao Jinxing, seems to have no good feelings for Gu Xingchuan.
Even if Xiao Jinxing had not truly reached out to Gu Xingchuan yet, she was very clear that Xiao Jinxing had always been trying to win him over secretly, and now that Gu Xingchuan appeared before him, he shouldn’t be so indifferent.
Bai Mowan had so doubts, but she did not voice them.
This scene was also not a fitting ti to speak out.
Xiao Jinxing’s gaze shifted slightly.
On Bai Mowan’s reminder, he returned to normal, "Did Gu Xingchuan bring the dicine requested by the Princess?!"
In the past.
It would have definitely been Ye Qichi.
But now, the title of Princess was brought up.
Perhaps even Xiao Jinxing himself did not realize his intentionality.
The longti follower of Xiao Jinxing, Little Wu, understood imdiately upon hearing.
"Yes." Gu Xingchuan replied respectfully.
His heart also held an indescribable feeling towards the word "Princess" ntioned by Xiao Jinxing.
Yet it was still overlooked by him.
"The Princess sent a ssage for to deliver the dicine. As soon as I received the ssage, I arranged for people to join and rush to Yuzhou City. Fearing discovery by the King of Chu, we took the waterway and detoured a bit, thus delaying for so hours," Gu Xingchuan explained.
"I heard the King of Chu has seized control of all the dicine. How co you still have so?" Xiao Jinxing asked.
His tone was not too pleasant.
"Indeed, I received an order not to sell any more of these dicines needed by the Princess. However, this command made suspect sothing was amiss, wondering if sothing had happened in Yuzhou City, so I secretly hid so and did not declare the true amount of my dicine stock," Gu Xingchuan said. "Fortunately, I was cautious, otherwise the dicine the Princess asked to transport might have failed to reach Yuzhou City."
