Chapter 493: Parting Ways
Outside the window, the sky was shining, and a small and clever thrush fluttered its wings and stood on the edge of the window, pecking its wings lightly. After a while, another larger one flew and stopped beside it.
The two birds stood side by side, sometimes shaking their heads and looking at each other, sometimes snuggling up to each other and pecking at each other's feathers, like a loving couple with the same heart.
However, such a beautiful and warm picture fell into Gu Hanqing's eyes at this time, but it was particularly dazzling.
He stood expressionlessly not far from the window lattice, his eyes were slightly condensed, even though there were bursts of light and pleasant birdsong in his ears, but those originally warm and clear eyes were now revealing a trace of coldness that was not commensurate with this early summer season.
"Young master, my subordinates have something to report. ”
In this way, he was silent for a while, only to see his personal attendant Chang Sheng walk in from the half-hidden door, and after seeing his master's different look, a trace of concern flashed in his eyes.
Even if he is just a subordinate, he also knows what kind of heart knot Gu Hanqing has been tormented by these days.
I also clearly remember that on the bloody evening a few days ago, the young master of the Gu family, who had always been graceful in front of people, looked as distracted as a cold stone statue, and returned to the mansion in despair, locked himself in the room for tea and dinner, and closed the door.
No one knew what was going on, except that it was as if he had suddenly lost something vital in his life, or had been hit hard by an unprecedented blow.
Even if he quickly picked himself up later, he still kept the family business in order as usual, and controlled the entire Gu family.
But in the eyes of those who are familiar with him, they always feel that this Gu Shaozhu seems to have become a little different from before.
"What's the matter?"
Gu Hanqing glanced at Chang Sheng sideways, spit out three words indifferently, and deliberately took his eyes away from the pair of thrushes.
"It's... In fact, it's not a big deal, and it doesn't matter if the young master doesn't know. ”
Looking at Gu Hanqing's still cold and indifferent face, Chang Sheng's expression became a little wavering, as if he was speculating about Gu Hanqing's thoughts, for fear that he would accidentally say the wrong thing.
"No matter how big or small the matter is, since you have come to me, make it clear. ”
Gu Hanqing's eyebrows gathered slightly, although his face did not show a gloomy color, but his tone couldn't help but harden a little compared to before.
"Yes, my subordinates heard that now the war in the northwest is urgent, and the war is imminent, so... Today, the Holy Lord has assigned His Royal Highness King Yan to lead troops to reinforcements, and he will set off in less than two days. ”
Chang Sheng said cautiously, but after he finished speaking for a long time, Gu Hanqing didn't say anything as if he hadn't heard it.
Because half of his side face is hidden in the shadows where the sun can't shine, it is impossible to see what his expression is at the moment.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, but Chang Sheng didn't dare to speak rashly, so he could only stand stiffly in place, looking at Gu Hanqing with his eyes from time to time, and the whole person couldn't help but be a little nervous.
Finally, when the pair of thrushes by the window fluttered their wings and disappeared at the end of the sky, Gu Hanqing seemed to suddenly regain consciousness and walked to the window.
After a moment, he spoke in a low and sad voice, unusually calmly.
"In the future, whether it is the Yan Wangfu or the matter of Princess Yan, I don't want to know anymore. ”
When the word "Princess Yan" was mentioned, although he was not shocked on the surface, Gu Hanqing could clearly feel that the breath in his chest suddenly rose and fell.
Deep in my heart, it was like something unforgettable, but I could only let it crumble step by step, and finally fell to the ground completely at this moment, falling beyond recognition.
This sentence is only a few words, and even falling into the ears of the listener is just an ordinary command,
But for the speaker, only he can empathize with the great pain and suffering he has experienced.
"Yes, my subordinates remembered. ”
Chang Sheng nodded again and again when he heard this, but he complained even more in his heart that he shouldn't have revealed the matter of Yanwangfu to Gu Hanqing, but instead provoked him, who was already in a bad mood, and at this moment he was even more shrouded in a thick cloud.
That day, in front of Gao Heng, when Cheng Jinzhi, who was still in amnesia, did not answer his question directly, but rushed out of the room and chose to escape......
He knew that there was no going back.
Compared with the pain of not being able to be a lover and turning against each other, which can only last for a lifetime, from now on the well water does not violate the river water's parting of ways, which is already a more intelligent salvation for himself.
And Gu Hanqing asked himself what he could do to achieve perfection and forbearance, and he could only do it this way.
"By the way, all kinds of affairs in the capital have been properly arranged, and there is no need for me to stay here and keep an eye on them every day. Speaking of which, I may not have been back to Quanzhou to visit the elders of the clan for a long time, and I want to go back in two days, so you can let people prepare well. ”
Hearing that Gu Hanqing was suddenly going back to Quanzhou, Chang Sheng's eyes flashed, and he couldn't help but feel a little surprised and surprised.
But he quickly responded: "Yes, my subordinates will order people to prepare." ”
This is the first time Gu Hanqing has mentioned going back since he came to the capital on the day of Cheng Jinzhi and Gao Heng's wedding.
Although Chang Sheng didn't say much, he didn't know in his heart that he just wanted to leave this sad place temporarily to escape. It's just that he just wanted to leave, but when he heard Gu Hanqing suddenly call out to him, he added another sentence.
"By the way, let Madame go with you. ”
"Ma'am?"
Chang Sheng's eyebrows jumped, and he suddenly heard this title from Gu Hanqing, thinking that he had heard it wrong.
The lady Gu Hanqing was referring to was naturally Cheng Sujin.
However, in Chang Sheng's memory, Gu Hanqing has almost never commenced the number of times he has been commensurate with Cheng Sujin as "Mrs."
More often than not, the woman is not even mentioned at all.
It's just that he didn't know that Gu Hanqing was not out of pity or out of the Gu family's reputation this time, but really wanted to take Cheng Sujin away with him.
Although this is not mixed with the love between infatuated men and women, it is also a special feeling.
Because Gu Hanqing will always remember that under the remnants of that twilight, when he returned to the Gu Mansion with heavy steps like a walking corpse with the pain of being betrayed by his beloved.
Cheng Sujin, who has always been unwilling to give half of his sincerity, but has always treated him as he has been after marrying into the Gu family.
He also suddenly realized that if you really can't grow old with your loved one in this life, maybe it is also a blessing in life to have someone who truly loves you by your side, right?
It's just that when thinking like this, the smile on Gu Hanqing's lips was extremely bitter.
