Gu Qingheng naturally knew that Qi Jingyun was interested in his wife, so he didn't like this man either. Was he being treated as if he were dead? Now, although he hadn't yet gained the strength to compete with the other, he absolutely wouldn't fear him.
"In response to the Prince, I have already taken leave from the Emperor." Gu Qingheng's attitude was neither servile nor overbearing. "The Emperor's grace is boundless; it is by his permission that I have come to fetch my wife." Your father isn't dead yet, does that mean your words are more effective than his?
Qi Jingyun's lips lifted slightly into a smile: "In that case, it seems I have overstepped." With that, he glanced at the carriage, "The Prince and Lady Xinxin are old acquaintances; may I have the pleasure of meeting her?"
Gu Qingheng moved slightly and blocked the other's view towards the carriage: "My wife is exhausted from days of travel and needs to rest." My wife is tired and doesn't want to see you.
