The Guzheng of The Moon

XLIV

"I have prepared a residence for you at the border of the capital."

"Do you want me to thank you?" asked Xu Wei cynically.

For a moment Gu Zheng looked at his half-brother. Perhaps she should indeed thank Xu Wei for making Ah Mei pregnant. Regardless of what Xu Wei's true purpose was.

"That's it, can't we get along?" asked Fang Wei to mediate.

"Have you come back here just for that girl?" gu Zheng asked who was unconcerned about Fang Wei.

"Yes." Yeah." Xu Wei took a rough breath then exhaled. "Whatever you want to say, I have absolutely no interest in the throne of Yuhan. I'm happy enough to be out there, free to do whatever I want. I'm back just for Ah Mei."

"While he doesn't love you?"

"While he hates me, I don't care." Xu Wei stared far across the pond with a sad face. "I also sent a letter to your concubine, ah, should I call her empress now?"

Gu Zheng only found out about this. So apparently, Yue deserved to hold back when she was with him. He could feel the girl soften last night, though still taut.

"You're fine if you don't want to lose the girl" Xu Wei added.

"Then you're alone? Are you gonna catch up with him?"

There's no answer. Gu Zheng was not as close to Xu Wei as he was to Fang Wei. As far as he knew his half-brother, Xu Wei was more of a free soul. Liked things that smelled of art and beauty instead of warfare like Gu Zheng and Fang Wei.

Then this time the man took part in the affairs of the palace only for Ah Mei, who did not even deserve the love of a Gu Xu Wei.

"Hm, she's pregnant with our child. He will follow her wherever she goes. Even to hell."

Gu Zheng felt a little guilty. If it wasn't for her holding Ah Mei back, they might have been happy on another path.

"He .. You're the one here who needs the most support. Considering you're falling for a woman like Ah Mei."

"That's what I told her, too" Fang Wei said quickly.

Instantly both Gu Zheng and Xu Wei looked at Fang Wei while sneering.

"Hey, what's my fault?"

***

"I will not accept this defeat."

"of course. This isn't over yet. And don't expect it to end so easily."

"I know what to do," Ah Mei said with her sly smile.

Sui Wei grinned widely even nearly half of her face. It seems that luck is still on their side. The proof of the opportunity to eliminate Yue was still open.

"Then what about the boy you bear? Are you gonna drop it?"

Even Ah Mei had no answer to that question. He loved a little of the baby he was carrying. Then now, the grandmother of the baby easily asked about the abortion of this baby.

"I'll think about it later."

Yes, his main focus now was to eliminate Yue. If he could not get Gu Zheng then Yue would not.

And the only chance there was when Yue went to attend the invitation from the Gong Kingdom. He plans to eliminate the girl before she reaches the border.
