Chapter 455
Duan Rou, who was across the street, watched this scene, feeling embarrassed even though neither of them did anything too intimate.
As she was just thinking of this, she saw Gu Zezhi quickly kiss Qin Jiu’s hand the next moment, before they walked to the south along the streets hand-in-hand.
On the street, passersby who came and went often cast envious glances on the pair.
Duan Rou got into the carriage and instructed the coachman to follow at a distance.
The weather was getting colder recently, and only a few peddlers could be seen on the street, but the waiters in the roadside shops were out to attract customers.
Qin Jiu pulled Gu Zezhi along the road and casually strolled the street, by the time the two reached Huasheng Street Gu Zezhi’s hands were already full of many things.
Qin Jiu walked along as she ate a bunch of candied haw. She asked casually. “Do you want to eat this?”
“N.” Said Gu Zezhi, stopping in his tracks.
His meaning was very clear.
Qin Jiu had no choice but to stop to raise her hand and put the skewed candied haws in her hand towards Gu Zezhi’s mouth…
At this moment, the chaotic sound of the horse hooves suddenly came from the end of the street ahead.
A group of thirty or so imperial guards on horseback escorted a carriage speeding through Gu Zezhi and Qin Jiu’s side.
Qin Jiu could not help but take another look at the carriage.
The carriage was not owned by a commoner, at least it should be from a prince or a king. Looking where this group of people came from, it was from the direction of the south city gate.
Qin Jiu suddenly felt a tug on her right hand holding the candied haws and subconsciously turned to look at Gu Zezhi, who casually bit the candied haws from the skewer as if he was not the one who deliberately tugged the bamboo stick just now.
Childish! Qin Jiu looked at him with amusement, feeling that the image of the golden villain in the book was about to collapse.
Gu Zezhi swallowed the candied haws before unhurriedly and calmly said. “I heard that the emperor will ‘send’ the second prince back to the capital today.”
His meaning was that the person in the carriage just now should be Gu Jing.
Qin Jiu counted the days and remembered.
That’s right.
The wedding between Gu Jing and Tang Fengchun would be the day after tomorrow.
“Is he coming back to get married?” Qin Jiu raised her gaze and looked towards the group escorting the carriage in front of them, thinking that instead of “send” it would be more accurate to say he was being “escorted.”
Gu Zezhi gently tugged her sleeve again.
Qin Jiu immediately put the candied haws in her hand to Gu Zezhi’s mouth, to which the latter took another bite and vaguely said “Yes.”
Qin Jiu always felt that the emperor’s behavior of sending his son back for marriage had deeper meaning so she asked again. “Then will he leave after?”
Gu Zezhi nodded affirmatively, “Yes.”
Qin Jiu: “…”
Qin Jiu’s expression looked very complicated.
