She looked up suddenly, looking at him with mixed feelings.

He was also looking at her, and he couldn't see clearly what kind of expression was on his face in the dusk, but listening to that tone, there seemed to be a hint of joy?

She suspected she had misheard.

The young master of Baojiantang should be his half-brother, so the two of them look so similar. Due to some unspeakable reasons, the young master of the treasure hall could not enter and leave the palace as openly as he did. And he, like everyone else, should be wary of his half-brother, right?

That's why she was a little surprised and incomprehensible by his gratuitous mention of the young master.

"He ......," the prince was silent for a while, and then suddenly said, "Do you like him a little?"

Gu Zhirong looked at the prince in front of him in shock: "His Royal Highness the Prince, what are you talking about?"

"Isn't it?" the prince was visibly unhappy with her reaction.

Gu Zhirong hurriedly shook her head, and suddenly felt that it was not enough to show what she meant, so she waved her hand and said, "Of course not, the young master is the young master, I am me, and we are pure brother and sister relationship, not what you think." ”

"Really?" the prince raised his eyebrows slightly, "but I have heard him say many times that you have shared hardships and experienced many ups and downs, and your feelings are extraordinary. ”

Gu Zhirong was stunned for a moment.

She never seemed to have thought about the matter between her and the young master. Oh no, when I'm in a hurry, I seem to have thought about it once or twice once or twice, but. It was quickly rejected by his other ideas.

After all, she is a person with a marriage contract, which is equivalent to a married woman. She doesn't know if Gu Dagongzi is the best person in the world for her, but fate is sometimes like this, being able to meet the right person at the right time, just like Lu Dagongzi, she already feels very lucky.

"Not what you think. Gu Zhirong added, "There is really nothing between me and the young master. ”

The prince stopped talking, but turned his head to look at the maple forest beside him.

At this time, dusk is approaching. The sky is full of red clouds, and a maple forest is as colorful as the sunset, but. She read a hint of loneliness in his side face.

His voice drifted in the evening breeze, cool: "If I can't come back this time, have you ever ...... Will you think of me once in a while?"

Gu Zhirong looked at him with wide eyes. Oh my God, what the hell is going on with this guy. The expedition is imminent. How could he say such depressing words?

"Bah, bah!" she lectured him unceremoniously, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, what is the matter with you, how can you say such unmotivated words? Isn't this exactly what those bandits down the mountain want? They all wish that Your Royal Highness the Crown Prince would do nothing and just wait for death on this mountain." Besides, if the sergeants in front of you heard that the prince was so depressed, and the commander was like this, how would you let them guard in front of the temple gate? and your dearest relative, the queen mother. Could it be that you have forgotten about it, and you are too much of a prince, right?"

The prince knew that he was speechless, and bowed his head in silence.

Only then did Gu Zhirong come to his senses. couldn't help but be startled, patted his chest, and said in his heart: "Oh my mother, how can I say such offensive words? The prince is not a vegetarian, if he is angry, won't his little life be gone?"

She glanced at the prince secretly, and saw that he lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, obviously not taking the last words she said to heart.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and secretly prayed that the prince would never remember what she said. At the same time, she felt that she should quickly slip away, otherwise, she really didn't know which sentence offended the prince again, and her little life would be gone.

Just when she was racking her brains and thinking about how to find a better excuse to slip away, at this time, the prince suddenly spoke again, and his voice was still cold: "Rong'er, if I am not the prince and you have never been engaged, will you like me?"

Gu Zhirong didn't dare to disobey him anymore, so he said very happily: "Of course you will, you are a good person, wise and martial, which woman in the whole Dazhao does not fall in love with you at first sight?" Of course, it also includes me." ”

As soon as she spoke, she immediately felt that it was too perfunctory to say this, so she added: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, I am very serious about answering your questions, if there really are those assumptions you just mentioned above, I will like you." ”

Her last words worked, and the prince was in a good mood and smiled at her.

She suddenly looked a little dazed. In this beautiful maple forest, the prince's smile can go beyond this beautiful scenery and become a beautiful scenery of its own.

In fact, the prince really looks good when he laughs.

It's just a pity that he doesn't laugh often.

Gu Zhirong said sincerely: "His Royal Highness the Prince, you must come back safely, you must know that Dazhao can't do without you." ”

The prince did not speak, but looked at her quietly.

She also looked at him quietly and said softly: "You know better than me about internal and external tribulations. ”

The prince's eyes finally flashed with a hint of approval.

He suddenly felt that if there was really one person in this world who could communicate with his heart, it would be this Miss Gu Wu in front of him. He understood everything she said, and she understood everything he said.

The internal troubles are like the current siege, which conceals a huge conspiracy, and there is also a Yue Di that needs to be guarded against at all times, and the external danger is the increasingly powerful Yeqin, who is eyeing the Jokhang.

External worries must be defended, and internal troubles must be eliminated, and there is no room for delay.

He admired her for her extraordinary gaze, and with a few light words, she pushed aside the dark clouds and saw the moon, and commented on the world situation so thoroughly, she was indeed the best candidate for the crown princess.

At the same time, a great loss rose in his heart, a kind of disappointment that could not be hoped for.

Why was she betrothed so early, why was not him, why couldn't she remember the events of her childhood, why did she forget him? Why was he the supreme prince, who could dominate everything as he wanted, and even the love of others, why could he do nothing in front of her?

He has always been known for his aggressiveness, so he has also earned the title of "Prince of Cold Noodles". The things he decided, just like the dismissal of officials in various places, were like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, and he never relented, why did he become so troubled after meeting her, so hesitant, and so soft-hearted?

He suddenly hated himself like this.

He is so unlike him.

He spun around sharply and strode away.

"Wait a minute. She called out to him from behind.

It took him a lot of effort to stabilize his mind and said lightly, "What's the matter?"

Her gaze fell on the white jade pendant hanging from his waist.

The jade pendant swayed non-stop because of his hurried steps, white and delicate color, tied with yellow silk spikes, it was very beautiful.

"I used to live in Xuanji Temple for three years, and in the past three years, I have also gone to the back mountain to collect herbs. I knew there was a trail and it was very rough. The main thing is that the road is full of bushes and miasma, and ordinary people can't get through. But you can, this jade pendant hanging on your body is the treasure of the Valley of Hundred Flowers, it can cure all kinds of poisons, and those miasma can't hurt you. You're coming down that trail, and it's much safer. ”

The prince said, "Okay." (To be continued.) )
