Chapter 1856 What if I wanted you to stay too?

Suddenly, a jade-white hand held a piece of tea cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

Gu Zibei raised his head and was stunned. He looked at Tingtong and immediately frowned and wanted to vomit.

But Tingtong used her hands hard and stuffed the tea cake into his lips again.

"eat!"

she urged.

Feeling very uncomfortable, Gu Zibei didn't want to accept her kindness.

However, in order to relieve the discomfort, he had to eat the tea cake.

Tingtong brought the remaining plate.

Her voice was quiet: "This is the most inferior thing in the palace. The palace people often eat this to fill their bellies."

"On weekdays, a slave can last for half a day if he eats just one. After Your Highness eats this whole plate, he won't feel uncomfortable for a while."

As she said, after eating a whole plate, the burning feeling in Gu Zibei's heart finally disappeared.

He wiped the pastry crumbs from the corners of his lips with his thumb.

The tea cake was very unpalatable, dry and difficult to swallow, and very hard.

Tingtong brought her a glass of water, and Gu Zibei looked at her warily.

Tingtong's soft white face looked helpless: "Your Highness, do you think this slave is still capable of drugging you?"

Gu Zibei hesitated for a moment and finally drank the cup of tea.

This way, it doesn't feel uncomfortable at all.

Tingtong brought a chair for him to sit on.

"Don't think too much, Your Highness Fourteenth. Back then, you helped me plead with Marquis Yongye and let the doctor treat my asthma."

"This time, I'm just returning the favor."

Gu Zibei sat on the chair and chuckled when he heard the words.

Obviously he didn't trust her words.

Tingtong leaned against the table nearby, lowered her head, and said no more.

Gu Zibei glanced at her sideways and said in a cold tone: "You clearly had the opportunity to remind me that the glass of wine was drugged, but you didn't tell me."

"The reason why I don't care about it now is entirely because my conscience is still intact. Otherwise, I would have had you killed long ago."

"From now on, you'd better stay safe in the palace, otherwise if something happens, I won't care about you and will only watch your jokes."

Tingtong was silent for a long time.

Gu Zibei didn't want to wait for her answer, so he stood up and left.

However, when he just walked out of the door, Tingtong asked softly from behind -

"What if I just wanted you to stay?"

Gu Zibei paused in his steps.

The rain hit the umbrella, making a crackling sound.

Tingtong held on to the door frame and looked at his back, with tears already accumulating in her eyes.

However, Gu Zibei did not look back.

The umbrella he held blocked his cold and elegant eyes.

Only the deep and handsome profile lines of his profile can be seen, and his tightly pursed thin lips can be seen.

The surrounding water mist filled the air, shrouding the palace in a dark ink color.

"No ifs."

Finally, Gu Zibei said these four words coldly.

Then he held an umbrella and left.

Tingtong leaned against the door frame and looked at him until Gu Zibei's figure completely disappeared.

An hour later, the rain finally stopped.

Ting Tong, who was sitting by the door in a daze, seemed to have come back to his senses like a wandering spirit.

She wiped the tears from her eyes, stood up, and planned to go back to kneeling.

However, at this moment, a young eunuch came over——

"I'm with His Highness. His Highness just said that it's raining and the ground is wet, so girls don't have to kneel down."

"His Highness also said that the girl is a good embroiderer. She will take a day off today and rework the embroidered handkerchiefs tomorrow. She will definitely be able to embroider the mandarin ducks crossing their necks."

After the little eunuch finished speaking, he handed over and left.

Tingtong stood at the door in a daze.

How could the eldest prince suddenly withdraw his life?
