"Now the situation in the capital is in chaos, His Royal Highness King Yan colluded with Nanchu to rebel, and all the people in the palace were held hostage in the palace, His Majesty has secretly sent people to hunt down King Yan on the way back to Beijing, it seems that the Yan Wangfu is really in a catastrophe this time. ”

The large mansions on the edge of Jinghu Lake in Quanzhou were built by the ancestors of the Gu family when they made their fortunes, and although they have gone through decades of wind and rain, they are still well maintained and renovated, and have become a symbol of local power.

Gu Hanqing decided to temporarily leave the capital and return to Quanzhou to live, although on the surface it was in the name of returning to his hometown to visit relatives, but in fact, it was to escape from reality, and he didn't want to stay in a sad place anymore and face people he didn't want to face.

However, as long as the knot in his heart is difficult to solve, even if he is now in this seemingly safe place away from the hustle and bustle, he still can't avoid those harsh winds from afar.

It's like the news about Gao Heng and Cheng Jinzhi from the capital this time.

Even though he still has a grudge against these two people in his heart, fortunately, Gu Hanqing has always been a reasonable person, and he knows that Gao Heng is definitely not such a rebellious rebel and thief, let alone doing such a despicable thing that has been stinking for thousands of years.

Behind this turmoil and rebellion, there must be the prince's side fueling the flames and hurting people with hidden arrows.

may no longer be a friendship in the past, but this trust in Gao Heng in the country, the society and the country, has not been shaken in the slightest.

It's just that he never imagined that the development of the situation would become so serious in a short period of time, and the situation was already in danger.

"Send someone to prepare the carriage and horses and manpower immediately, and I will rush back to the capital immediately. ”

After some careful consideration and a general understanding of the matter, he still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart, and he couldn't just ignore it and sit idly by.

It's just that deep in his heart, Gu Hanqing still deliberately tried to comfort himself again and again, not to go to the capital for the old love, but to repay Gao Heng for coming forward to save his life when he was in the Western Jin Dynasty.

"Also, don't tell Madame about this, and don't let her go back to the capital until I come back. ”

Gu Hanqing said that his eyes blended into the rolling mountains in the distance, and he pondered for a moment, and then gave an order to Chang Sheng beside him.

The reason why he has such concerns, in addition to not wanting Cheng Sujin to worry about his own safety and trying his best to stop it, is also because he doesn't want her to remember the old relationship between him and Cheng Jinzhi.

"Yes, my subordinates know. ”

Chang Sheng nodded seriously, although he didn't want Gu Hanqing to interfere in such a dangerous matter as the prince's rebellion, he also knew that he had made up his mind, and it was useless for him to persuade him at the moment.

However, as soon as his words fell, his eyes turned slightly, but he suddenly stopped looking.

While the two were talking, Cheng Sujin was already standing opposite at some point, and a thick haze was shrouded in her beautiful face.

Although she is in Quanzhou, she is the eldest lady of the Yasukuni Mansion after all, and she deliberately sent people to pay attention to the various movements of the Yanwang Mansion in secret, so she naturally knows everything about the wind and grass in the capital.

After learning that Cheng Jinzhi was in trouble, her first reaction was not the joy she expected, but the fear that her husband would not forget the old love and intervene.

And as she expected, Gu Hanqing really had to risk his life to save the "ungrateful" woman.

In his heart, after all, he still couldn't completely cut off his love and concern for Cheng Jinzhi.

Seeing Cheng Sujin who suddenly appeared in front of him, Gu Hanqing's eyes sank, and he raised his hand to order Chang Sheng to go down, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried and worried in his heart.

"Hanqing, is something happening in the capital? Why do you suddenly want to go back?"

Cheng Sujin smiled softly and stepped forward deliberately pretending not to know, but the heart in her chest was trembling slightly.

These days in Quanzhou, I often accompany Gu Hanqing around, even though the two still haven't been able to love and match each other like ordinary couples, but compared to the cold and hard relationship before, it has eased a lot.

In Cheng Sujin's view, since Gu Hanqing chose to take him back to his hometown, it was already a great concession.

But the good times are always fleeting, and every time she destroys and takes it all, almost all of them are the woman she hates.

"Yes, there is a little problem with the batch of medicinal materials sent to the palace, after all, it is a thing for the palace to use, so I can't be sloppy, I will go and take a look, and I will be back soon." ”

Although she had already guessed that Cheng Sujin should have heard about what happened in Yanwang's Mansion, it can be seen that since she did not get straight to the point at the moment, Gu Hanqing did not say it directly, but found an excuse to perfunctory at random.

"Really? I'll go back with you. ”

Listening to Gu Hanqing's deceitful words, Cheng Sujin subconsciously pursed the corners of his lips, and where his eyes drooped, his heart was even more gloomy.

At this moment, she would rather the man in front of her tell the truth unabashedly, rather than see him try to hide himself for the sake of Cheng Jinzhi.

"It's just a trivial matter, I'll be back soon, you just came to Quanzhou not long ago, don't follow me back and forth." Besides, the relatives of the clan like you very much, so you should stay with them for me. ”

"They like me, but what about you?"

Cheng Sujin tightened his pupils, raised his head and stared at Gu Hanqing's slightly floating eyes without shying away, his tone was filled with a look of self-pity and self-pity.

"It's all this time, why are you still hiding it from me?"

Listening to Cheng Sujin's words, Gu Hanqing's eyebrows trembled slightly, and after taking a deep breath, he turned his gaze to the lotus pond where the lotus leaves were received at his feet.

"I'm not for her, I'm just to repay His Highness for sacrificing his life to save him back then. ”

"Whether it's for her or not, you know it in your heart, and I know it too. ”

Cheng Sujin said sharply, naturally not believing that Gu Hanqing was just going to repay Gao Heng's kindness in the past, and he was even more worried that he and Gao Heng had a close relationship, but he was afraid that if he was not saved, he would be implicated.

Plotting rebellion and rebellion is a serious crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan, and it concerns the entire country. At that time, even if his father, who is the Duke of Yasukuni, comes forward to intercede, I am afraid that not only will he not be able to get Emperor Zhou to open up, but he will also be affected by this.

didn't know that the entire Cheng family, including herself, had already taken their own place in this chess game.

"Whether you believe it or not, if the Yan Wangfu can survive this time, all the grievances and hatreds between us will be written off from now on. ”

Gu Hanqing did not answer Cheng Sujin's words directly, but closed his eyes slightly with deep eyes, and turned his back to her.

At a certain moment, this originally warm and friendly back seemed particularly cold and lonely at the moment.

"If I can, I hope that after this incident, I will never see them again in this life. ”
