67: Fell Into the Water

Gao Xun was dressed in a blue brocade robe. He was tall and broad-shouldered. He and Zhong Shang stood side by side in front of Yan Yu, appearing neither haughty nor humble.

Yan Yu recognized Zhong Shang. He had been to the palace several times to enjoy the feasts held by Emperor Yuan Hui. He and Zhong Shang didn't have a deep friendship, and had only exchanged a few words with each other.

He shifted his gaze to the person beside him.

Yan Yu silently studied his facial features. The color of his eyes became darker and darker. Finally, he frowned and had a bad feeling about this.

Zhong Shang patted Gao Xun's shoulder to make him come back to his senses. "Do you lost mind?"

Gao Xun was stunned when he met Yan Yu's gaze.

He used to be on good terms with Yan Yu. The two of them had grown up together and were like brothers who could share the same pair of pants. Even though they had been separated since they were seven years old, this didn't mean that he would forget what he looked like.

Gao Xun was stunned for a long time. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly recalled what Xie Xun had said to him that day at the teahouse.

"My sister is already married."

"She's married to the sixth prince."

What had Zhong Shang said to him?

This is the sixth prince?

Gao Xun's hands clenched involuntarily as he stared at Yan Yu in front of him, as if he wanted to see through him.

He could not follow what Zhong Shang was saying. All he saw was Yan Yu's thin lips slightly parted as he slowly spat out two words, "Gao Xun?"

As his voice fell, Gao Xun's pupils constricted.

Zhong Shang raised his eyebrows and asked in surprise, "You two know each other?"

Not only did they know each other, they knew each other rather well.

When he liked Xie Zhen and confided his feelings to him without reservation, he was disdainful and didn't say a word about it.

Then he left without a word, and it was he who spent seven or eight years with Xie Zhen, growing up with her, and now he comes back without a word and married Xie Zhen.

It'd be a lie to say that he was not angry.

As if venting something, Gao Xun asked very slowly, "Are you Li Yu?"

He slightly lower his eyes, "Impudent."

Speaking to the sixth prince with this attitude was indeed a bit unruly, but Gao Xun could not help it. If there were no people around, he would have rushed forward to beat him down.

What the f~~k sixth prince?

Was it just because he had changed his identity, he wouldn't be able to recognize him!

Zhong Shang found there was something wrong between the two, so he exchanged a few words with Yan Yu and then walked out with Gao Xun.

They two men stood in the porch, and Zhong Shang was sitting on the fence, looking up at him, his eyes seemed to be plainly saying: Tell, all the truth.

Gao Xun did not move. He looked calm, but his eyes were filled with disorder. A violent storm was brewing within his eyes.

He could not help but slam his fist against the pillar, his eyes bloodshot as he said, "That bastard!"

He was seething with rage at the thought of his boyhood companion.

He had heard that the sixth prince would be here today and wanted to see who he was. That was why he came to the General's Mansion.
