Gu Nuo’er said sweetly, “Second Brother, don’t be anxious. Nuo’er will go look for the palace servants to refill your wine now.”
After saying that, the child diligently ran far away.
She had to quickly slip away! Otherwise, Elder Brother Siming would come over to catch her later!
Her plan was to go out to dissipate the smell of alcohol so that when Ye Siming asked about it, the child decided to deny it!
From the corner of his eye, Ye Siming saw that the child wanted to run out of Taiqing Palace.
He immediately put down his wine cup and chased after her. Bai Yi was eating and was stunned. “Where are you going, Siming?!”
“To sober up,” Ye Siming said coldly without turning around.
If Gu Nuo’er was drunk, he would be worried and have to stay by her side.
However, just as Ye Siming was about to walk out of Taiqing Palace, Gu Rao took the opportunity to rush up with a wine cup.
“Marquis, I’ve always wanted to find an opportunity to apologize to you. Previously, I’ve offended you repeatedly. This cup of wine is to toast you. I hope you can let bygones be bygones…”
She looked up gently and pretended to be elegant.
As she spoke, she even handed a cup of wine to Ye Siming.
However, the youth didn’t even look at her. He waved his arm to block the wine cup and said coldly, “Don’t block the way.”
Right on the heels of that, he strode out of Taiqing Palace.
Gu Rao was stunned on the spot. Apart from looking at Ye Siming’s back in a daze, she didn’t know what to do.
Grand Consort Yu had thought that her plan was meticulous and could harm Ye Siming, but Gu Rao didn’t expect for him to not even look at her.
The opportunity brushed past her just like that!
She was indignant!
However, suddenly, a hand snatched the glass of problematic wine she was holding.
“I told you long ago not to stick your warm face to a cold butt. Now, Marquis Yongye doesn’t care about you at all. You might as well let me drink this cup of wine!”
Gu Xinghan, who didn’t know the truth, raised his head and downed the wine.
He even clicked his tongue. “Why does it feel a little bitter?”
Gu Rao’s eyes widened and she criticized in a sharp voice, “Why did you drink
it?!”
Gu Xinghan frowned. “If Marquis Yongye can drink, why can’t I? Gu Rao, you couldn’t please him, but you still want to vent your anger on me? I’ve drank this wine. What can you do about it?”
“You!” Gu Rao trembled in anger. “Go back to the Zhuyou Palace now!”
This glass of wine contained an entire bag of medicine!
Gu Xinghan stared at her and said unhappily, “If you want to go back, go back yourself. This is a rare opportunity for us to show our faces. Perhaps when His Majesty sees us celebrating his birthday, his heart will soften and he’ll restore Father’s noble title.”
After saying that, he turned around and left, going to another table to get close to the people there.
Gu Rao was about to go crazy from anxiety, but she didn’t dare to express it. She had to quickly get someone to keep an eye on Gu Xinghan in case the drug took effect and he suddenly went crazy.
The wine was originally meant for Ye Siming. Why did Gu Xinghan drink it?!
What an idiot!
At this moment, Gu Rao was like a headless fly, not knowing what to do.
Recently, Grand Consort Yu had been having frequent hallucinations and was mentally unstable. She didn’t come to this banquet, and Gu Rao didn’t know who to ask for help from.
At the same time, Ye Siming followed the sweet fragrance left in the air and found a dense forest in the back hall of Taiqing Palace.
The peach blossom forest was filled with falling flowers. When Ye Siming passed by a peach tree, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Under the tree, there was a bright tassel that shone under the sunlight.
After he walked around the tree, he saw a girl with black hair draped over her shoulders.
Her chin was sharp and her lively watery eyes were half-open, her face flushed from drunkenness.
Although she was young, she already looked like her beauty could bring the fall of a country.
Ye Siming was stunned.
Soon, he gritted his teeth. “Gu Nuo’er!”
She dared to get drunk and even became like this. She actually sat behind the tree without caring about anything.
How dangerous would it be to let others see her like this?!
