Gu Jiangyue packed up the clothes and then took a carriage straight to the Azure Water Cloud Residence.
The coachman drove the carriage very fast. In no time, they arrived at the Azure Water Cloud Residence. After the carriage stopped, Gu Jiangyue got off and looked around.
The Azure Water Cloud Residence was as serene and elegant as before. Gu Jiangyue spotted the two guards at the entrance at a glance and walked towards them.
"Could you please inform Prince Jiu that Gu Jiangyue is here on business?"
There was a dignified smile on Gu Jiangyue's face. However, upon hearing her name, the guard didn't go to announce her arrival. Instead, he directly opened the door, bowed to Gu Jiangyue, and said respectfully,
"Our master said that if Miss Jiangyue comes, she can enter directly. We're not allowed to stop or announce her."
After saying that, the two guards stepped aside in unison, making way for Gu Jiangyue.
"Thank you."
Gu Jiangyue thanked them with a smile and then left with the box containing the clothes.
Gu Jiangyue entered the residence. This time, she didn't wander around. Although she had only been here once, she still remembered where Xie Jiuan's room was.
She walked through the pavilions. The scenery in front of her gradually became familiar. It was still that fork in the road. This time, relying on her memory, she took a different path. After walking for a while, she finally stopped in front of a room.
"Knock, knock, knock."
Gu Jiangyue stood in front of the door and knocked. The three knocks had two soft ones and one heavy one.
"Gu Jiangyue is here to discuss something."
Gu Jiangyue then told the person inside the room the purpose of her visit. Sure enough, as soon as he heard Gu Jiangyue's voice, the door was opened.
Through the crack of the opened door, Gu Jiangyue saw Xie Jiuan's face at a glance. He was dressed in white like jade, with a slender figure. His beautiful peach - blossom eyes made him look otherworldly.
"Come in."
Xie Jiuan opened the door wider. Gu Jiangyue nodded and walked in. She subconsciously glanced around the room. The furnishings were still as simple yet luxurious as before.
"Why are you here?"
As Gu Jiangyue looked around, she saw a figure that didn't belong to Xie Jiuan. The man in purple was sitting motionless in front of the chessboard. It was Ji Yunsheng.
"Gu Jiangyue, come quickly and release my acupoints."
Hearing Gu Jiangyue enter, Ji Yunsheng rolled his eyes and quickly called out to her.
"What happened?"
Gu Jiangyue was a bit confused looking at Ji Yunsheng's state. Before she could act, Xie Jiuan came over. With a poke of his finger, he directly released Ji Yunsheng's acupoints.
Ji Yunsheng rubbed his numb neck and looked at Xie Jiuan with a resentful face. He said unconvincedly,
"I wanted to open the door for you, but he wouldn't let me. He just immobilized me here. How stingy!"
Xie Jiuan, who was being complained about by Ji Yunsheng, silently turned his head away, pretending that nothing had happened. Ji Yunsheng still stared at him intently. Xie Jiuan glanced at Ji Yunsheng indifferently and then smiled,
"You're not skilled enough. Don't blame me."
"You!"
Ji Yunsheng was so angry at Xie Jiuan that he wanted to scold, but was blocked back by Xie Jiuan's next words.
"What do you want to see me about?"
Xie Jiuan simply ignored Ji Yunsheng and turned to look at Gu Jiangyue.
Gu Jiangyue had been holding back her laughter just now. When Xie Jiuan asked this, excitement reappeared in her eyes.
"The Wood Spirit Moon Orchid has been located. It's in Liangzhou."
The whereabouts of this rare treasure meant there was hope again for curing Gu Yi's illness. Xie Jiuan understood what Gu Jiangyue meant. Before she could speak, he said first,
"I'll go with you."
Gu Jiangyue nodded in agreement. Ji Yunsheng beside them was a bit reluctant. He protested,
"What about me if you two leave? I want to go too."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was flatly rejected by Gu Jiangyue. Gu Jiangyue looked at Ji Yunsheng seriously, her eyes full of determination.
"You can't go. You have to stay here with Gu Yi."
Ji Yunsheng was a bit reluctant but still agreed. It was true that he would be of no use if he went. It was better to amuse Gu Yi.
"Alright. What's this?"
Ji Yunsheng propped his chin with his hand and casually rested his elbow on the table. He looked at the box Gu Jiangyue brought, his eyes full of curiosity.
Gu Jiangyue didn't answer immediately. Instead, she opened the box, took out the clothes inside, and gave them to Xie Jiuan.
"This is the clothes I made for you by hand. I soiled your clothes last time..."
The embroidery works Gu Jiangyue had given to Xie Chengrui before had all been thrown away by him. She wasn't sure if Xie Jiuan would accept her things either. So her voice became softer and softer, and she was a bit afraid to look at Xie Jiuan.
As soon as Gu Jiangyue finished speaking, she felt the clothes in her hand become lighter. When she opened her eyes, she found that Xie Jiuan had already taken the clothes.
"You can do the Ink Hidden Embroidery? Let me have a look."
Ji Yunsheng immediately recognized the embroidery on the clothes. He reached out his hand to take the clothes from Xie Jiuan, but Xie Jiuan gently patted his hand.
"What are you doing? I just want to take a look."
Although it didn't hurt, Ji Yunsheng still complained and took his hand back. Xie Jiuan carefully put away the clothes. He smiled slightly and said to Ji Yunsheng,
"She embroidered it so carefully just for me. I haven't had a good look yet. How can I let you take the lead?"
Xie Jiuan smiled gently. Hearing this, Gu Jiangyue felt a bit better. It turned out that her embroidery wasn't that bad. There would be someone who would treasure it.
"When shall we set off?"
Gu Jiangyue looked at Xie Jiuan with a smile in her eyes. Xie Jiuan thought for a moment and then said,
"How about the day after tomorrow?"
Since it was a matter of Gu Yi's life, no one dared to delay. Gu Jiangyue didn't even think and directly agreed.
"Okay."
Although they only knew it was in Liangzhou and didn't have accurate information, as long as there was a glimmer of hope, Gu Jiangyue wouldn't give up. They would go there first and then make further plans. She was determined to cure Gu Yi.
"You don't need to go to the Flower Charm Tower these two days. Just go and see Gu Yi."
Gu Jiangyue looked at Ji Yunsheng and said. Ji Yunsheng usually just ate and drank in the Flower Charm Tower. When he was bored, he would use his good looks to attract customers.
"Has he always been like this?"
He was referring to Gu Yi. Ji Yunsheng stared at Gu Jiangyue, trying to find something in her eyes. He thought his personality was good enough, but he couldn't attract Gu Yi at all.
Gu Jiangyue understood what Ji Yunsheng meant. Thinking of Gu Yi, she couldn't help but sigh deeply. She lowered her eyes and said helplessly,
"No. Gu Yi used to be very lively. I don't know why, but he seems to be very resistant to treatment. Maybe he's scared."
Gu Yi was indeed scared, but he wasn't afraid of death. He was afraid that he would die when everyone loved him the most.
"Okay, I see. I'll go and see him tomorrow."
After hearing Gu Jiangyue's words, Ji Yunsheng didn't say anything else. He just nodded in agreement.
