The abandoned wife of the noble family, she is Black Heart Lotus

Gu Deyin couldn't help but feel moved. She knew how powerful the regent was. If he was willing to help her in this capacity, she would get twice the result with half the effort.

However, she knew better that since losing his memory, Xiao Mingzhang has always rejected the identity of this prince. He not only asked her to call him Ah Jiu, but also asked others to call him Jiu Ye. In short, he could not mention the word prince.

She didn't know if Xiao Mingzhang was happy to be a prince in the past, but she knew that Ah Jiu now didn't want to be the prince of Laoshizi.

Maybe he wanted an unfettered life, so he lost his memory. Of course, this was her emotional thought. If the imperial doctor and Xiuer knew about it, they would definitely explain to her the cause of the amnesia in a righteous manner.

"I also want you to be happy. If being the prince makes you unhappy, there is no need to force it. As for my father and brother, there is always a way to contact them."

She looked at him tenderly and rejected his proposal with a smile.

If he treats her with sincerity, she will definitely treat him with sincerity in return.

Regardless of whether Xiao Mingzhang will have this memory after recovering her memory in the future, she will always remember Ah Jiu in front of her.

After saying that, without waiting for Xiao Mingzhang's reply, she got up and prepared to go back to the carriage to reply to shopkeeper Li. Back-and-forth communication was necessary.

Just as she turned to go back to the carriage, Xiao Mingzhang stopped her, and she turned to look at him in shock.

Xiao Mingzhang, who was still sitting on the shaft of the car, stared straight at her with a pair of grape-like black eyes, as if he was afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

Just when Gu Deyin raised her eyebrows at him in confusion, he cleared his throat and said seriously.

"You don't have to force yourself, I mean you don't have to force yourself to be the prince, as long as this identity is useful to you."

Gu Deyin didn't know what to say for a moment. Saying thank you seemed too intrusive, and she felt guilty without saying thank you. She pursed her lips several times, but in the end she couldn't say a word.

Xiao Mingzhang smiled, stood up and approached her.

"I don't want your thanks."

Past her, he was about to enter the car.

Gu Deyin grabbed his sleeve and said solemnly.

"I won't say thank you for your kindness. If you can find any use for me in the future, I will never give up."

His willingness to come forward is much better than her running around like a headless fly.

Xiao Mingzhang grinned, and his dark eyes were instantly filled with stars, "Remember what you said today, I will get it back in the future."

"Of course. Am I that ungrateful?"

Gu Deyin looked like you shouldn't look down on others. Although she was not a man, she still made a promise.

Xiao Mingzhang nodded in agreement, "Yes, you are not that kind of person."

He seemed extremely sincere at this moment.

Now it was Gu Deyin's turn to be speechless. Xiao Mingzhang's words sounded fine, but why did she feel like she had fallen into a hole she dug?

Shaking her head, she threw away this weird idea. No matter what, Xiao Mingzhang had really helped her, and it was reasonable for her to do her best to repay him in the future.

She then entered the carriage and saw that Xiao Mingzhang had called out one of the secret guards and asked him to check the whereabouts of Lao Gu and Bo Qingya and report as soon as there was any news.

The secret guard took the order and left. Before leaving, he looked at Gu Deyin specifically, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

Gu Deyin could only keep a straight face and let others look at her. During this period, none of the secret guards left by Eunuch Zhou showed up. If Xiao Mingzhang hadn't called them out, she would have forgotten about these people.

After the secret guard left, she asked Xiao Mingzhang, "Has your memory recovered?"

Xiao Mingzhang shook his head, "No." "What about you?"

She pouted in the direction where the secret guard left. Since her memory had not been restored, how did she call the person out?

Xiao Mingzhang said: "As long as I want to, I can do it."

As he spoke, he played with a jade pendant on his body.

Gu Deyin glanced at the jade pendant and didn't see anything special about it, but she thought that it must have some use that she didn't know about.

But this was the secret code for contacting the Prince Regent. She couldn't ask, didn't want to ask, and didn't want to know.

Seeing that she didn't ask, Xiao Mingzhang was about to take the initiative to speak, but Gu Deyin waved his hand, "Don't tell me, it's useless if I know."

Seeing her like this, he had no choice but to give up, but seeing that she didn't want to hear what he had to share, he felt a little depressed.

Xiao Mingzhang would have a long face when he was unhappy. Gu Deyin actually thought it was quite novel. After all, it was rare to see a regent with such exposed emotions. In the future, when he regained his memory, he would be even less able to see him. Take this opportunity to take a closer look. .

Gu Deyin held his chin in his hands and looked at him with interest.

Xiao Mingzhang no longer cared about sulking, "What are you looking at?"

"look at you."

Gu Deyin's confident reply made Xiao Mingzhang feel a little embarrassed, and he suddenly couldn't care less about being sulky.

"Want ice tea?"

Gu Deyin heard him ask, and this time she said politely, "Yes."

There was a smile on Xiao Mingzhang's face again, and he directly used his inner strength to give her a bowl of ice tea.

In summer, the happiest thing is to drink a bowl of refreshing tea. Gu Deyin can now be shameless and enjoy the special treatment given to her by Xiao Mingzhang.

And Xiao Mingzhang also liked to see her calm look. He didn't want to see a superior self in her eyes. That would make her stay away, which was not what he wanted.

Hua Shu and Hua Chao took a sneak peek at the two of them getting along and whispered gossip.

They all noticed that Xiao Mingzhang treated Gu Deyin differently, and both of them were good-looking. Together they were a pair of strangers, but they would never dare to say these words in front of Gu Deyin. The girl would definitely scold them if she found out.

In the evening, as soon as they settled in the inn, the secret guard Xiao Mingzhang sent to inquire about Mr. Gu and Bo Qingya turned around.

Gu Deyin sat next to Xiao Mingzhang, anxiously waiting for this man's answer.

When Xiao Mingzhang saw this, he patted her hand gently to signal her to be calm.

Gu Deyin nodded and saw the profile of his face as he turned back. At this moment, Xiao Mingzhang was clearly still the regent who was not easy to approach and easy to mess with. The one she saw with a little pity and dependence in his eyes seemed to be fake. of.

She was a little confused. Did Xiao Mingzhang really have amnesia or fake it?

But when she heard the news about her father and brother, she couldn't distract herself from other things.

"Master Gu and his son are still wandering around in Daqingshan..."

According to him, local officials colluded with the bandits to kill the father and son.

But they failed to succeed, and instead allowed them to escape into the thousands-mile-long Daqingshan Mountains. Now the two sides are still in a stalemate, one chasing and the other escaping.

However, because the government blocked the road out of the mountain, no news came out about Mr. Gu and his son. (End of chapter)
