The days are gradually moving into June.

In the afternoon, it rained lightly outside, the palace people closed the window, the rain outside the window hit the window, and the incense curled in the room quite a bit of artistic conception.

Emperor Jing Zhao stood behind the table, holding a pen and twisting his wrist on the rice paper, Pei Lengqiu served ink next to him, and laughed in a low voice: "The word Majesty is becoming more and more stylish." ”

Yin Xu smiled and shook his head, looking up at the young man by the window: "What do you think?" ”

Hearing this, Gu Nan turned around and walked to the table, looked at the rice paper on the table with his eyes, and saw four big characters inscribed on it, with a vigorous font.

-- Haiyan River Qing.

Words are good words, and words are good words.

Gu Nan laughed: "The character of Majesty is naturally excellent. ”

"Okay?" Emperor Jing Zhao lowered his eyes and looked at it a few times: "I feel that the charm is not as good as half of it." ”

After that, without waiting for Gu Nan to speak, Yin Xu laughed: "When you are old, you always like to miss your old friends, but it makes you see jokes." ”

Gu Nan looked at him with a smile, his eyes were light and transparent.

Yin Xu put away the rice paper and narrowed his eyes slightly: "Sit down." ”

Gu Nan sat down as he said, Pei Lengqiu took the tea with great eyes, and bowed down. As soon as the wooden door opened and closed, only Emperor Jing Zhao and Gu Nan were left in the imperial study.

The sound of rain outside is faint, and the tea inside is fragrant. Yin Xu took a sip of the teacup, frowned, and said, "It's a little sweeter." ”

Truly.

People who have experienced bitterness and loneliness will not like to go to tea that is bitter and sweet.

The imperial study was quiet for a while, Emperor Jing Zhao put down the teacup and looked at Gu Nan, and suddenly remembered that many years ago, Gu Jingzhi had sat in front of him like him, sipping tea lightly and smiling faintly.

At that time, he had not yet ascended to this supreme position, and his life was hard and dangerous, but he never felt lonely.

It's not as good as it was back then, it's not as good as it

Yin Xu closed his eyes, and after a long time, he opened his mouth softly: "Have you ever regretted it?" ”

Gu Nan was stunned.

It seemed that he didn't plan to get Gu Nan's reply, and the corners of Yin Xu's mouth tugged slightly: "You are still young, maybe you haven't tasted regret yet, but I, I have tasted it for twenty-seven years." ”

Twenty-seven years.

Gu Nan raised his eyes to look at the emperor in front of him, who leaned on the back of the chair with his eyes closed lightly and his expression was light.

He withdrew his gaze and made no sound, the rain outside pounding on the window, and the sound became more and more muffled.

The silence lasted for a long time, and finally the silence was broken by the sudden noise outside.

It was forbidden to make noise outside the imperial study, and Emperor Jing Zhao frowned: "Pei Lengqiu, what's going on outside?!" ”

After a moment, Pei Lengqiu pushed the door in, bowed down, and said, "Your Majesty, Mrs. Gu...... The Third Highness and the Fifth Highness fought outside. ”

Gu Nan was taken aback, and Emperor Jing Zhao lowered his face even more coldly: "Fighting in public, what kind of system, Pei Lengqiu, bring them over!" ”

After a stick of incense, two young men with wolf bèi stood in the center of the imperial study.

Gu Nan looked over, and the one who was farther away from him was the third prince Yin Chengyi, who was hanging his head at this time, looking depressed. And Yin Chengan hugged Yin Chengxiu next to him, his eyes were low.

The little prince's eyes were a little red, and he kept sobbing sounds, and when he saw Gu Nan, he choked up and said: "Taifu ......"

The voice was also vibrato.

Emperor Jing Zhao said with a calm face: "What's the matter?" ”

No one spoke for a while.

Yin Chengyi shrank aside since he saw Yin Xu, didn't say anything, heard the question for a long time, and said, "Father, they ...... They were unruly and rushed without permission, and the retainers were angry for a while, so they ......"

Halfway through his words, the little prince began to cry: "No, it's obvious that you said that my imperial brother was born with evil and is not worthy of being a royal family, and that I am a burden, if it weren't for me, my imperial brother would have died a clean death, why should I be a cheap person in Miyagi like a dog!" ”

Gu Nan's face instantly darkened.

Yin Xu's face was pale, and he looked at it sharply, Yin Chengyi's body shrank, his expression was very flustered, just looking at his reaction, Yin Xu also knew that what Yin Chengxiu said was true, and immediately felt angry, and stepped forward to slap him: "Rebel!" ”

Yin Chengyi knelt down in a panic, not daring to say anything.

Yin Xu lowered his eyes and looked at his third son, the angry expression on his face slowly faded, and he sat down dejectedly, showing unprecedented exhaustion on his whole body.

Gu Nan watched coldly from the side and said nothing.

Emperor Jing Zhao was silent for a long time, and waved his hand weakly: "Forget it, forget it, Pei Lengqiu, bring the third prince back first, you don't have to come out during this time, Cheng'an and Chengxiu...... Mrs. Gu, you can take them back first. ”

Pei Lengqiu bowed down, Gu Nan stepped forward and stood side by side with Yin Chengan, and retreated after saluting.

There was silence in the study.

Yin Xu sat behind the table and was stunned for a long time, then lowered his head dejectedly.

When he returned to the Taiji Palace, the little prince had already cried and fell asleep.

Gu Nan twisted a warm towel to wipe away the tears on his face, pulled the quilt to cover him, and exited the room.

Yin Chengan stood at the door and looked at him, still expressionless. Gu Nan looked back at him lightly: "Go to the side hall." ”

Walking to the side hall, Gu Nan entered the door first, Yin Chengan followed behind and walked into the closed door, as soon as the door was closed, he felt that an object broke through the air, and it exploded into pieces at his feet.

Yin Chengan lowered his eyes and recognized that it was Gu Nan's favorite teacup, with a picture of spring and Jingming burning on it, which was beautiful and graceful.

He pursed his lips: "Taifu, you know everything." ”

"Know what?" Gu Nan looked at him: "Do you know that what happened today was deliberately done by you?" Know that you calculated everything and didn't let go of a bit?! ”

When he said this, Gu Nan kept looking at him, and the disappointment in his eyes was all taken in by Yin Chengan, and he only felt that his eyes hurt.

He clenched his fists, gritted his teeth and spoke: "He said that my life is evil, and he wants me and Cheng Xiu to die between the lines!" Could it be that Taifu felt that at that time, I shouldn't fight back? ”

After speaking, without waiting for Gu Nan to speak, Yin Chengan gritted his teeth and continued: "If such a Taifu wants me to swallow my anger, then I really want to know, what is the assistant you keep talking about?" Do you really accompany each other, or do you feel a sense of accomplishment in saving a person who has fallen into the mud, so as to satisfy the mind of your Wushuang Valley disciple to help the world?! ”

By the end, his eyes were red, and his voice was harsh and hoarse, as if he was trying to squeeze it out of his throat.

Listening to his words, Gu Nan's heart suffocated, and it was unprecedented pain for a while.

He trembled with anger, walked up to Yin Chengan and looked at him, the hoarse voice seemed to be in his ears.

- "Do you still feel a sense of accomplishment in saving someone who has fallen into the mud in order to satisfy your Peerless Valley disciple's ambition to help the world?!" ”

His painstaking teaching and planning have now become a cover for hypocrisy.

Gu Nan covered his chest, his eyes turned black for a while, and his body was shaking.

Yin Cheng'an felt regretful after speaking, and after calming down, seeing Gu Nan's appearance, he was shocked and reached out to support him, but his hand just touched the latter's arm, but he was slapped away. Yin Cheng'an stubbornly followed him again, and soon felt a hot liquid dripping on his arm.

He raised his head in a daze, and saw the Taifu in front of him, who had always looked indifferent, standing in front of him, his eyes full of water.

He...... Crying?

Yin Chengan was stunned and raised his hand to wipe the water stains on Gu Nan's cheeks, only to feel that the moist parts of his fingertips seemed to be burned by fire.

"Am I blaming you for doing it?" Gu Nanyang brushed his hand away, and his voice trembled: "I'm blaming you for not using Chengxiu!" Cheng'an, you have been in this deep palace for several years, and you have long known that people's hearts are unpredictable, and Chengxiu's mind is less than one-tenth of yours, and no matter what he said today, will the third prince hold a grudge, just say that Chengxiu himself, he is still young, and suddenly heard those hurtful words, what should he think? ! ”

"Cheng Xiu is crying like that today, smart as you, can't you see who Cheng Xiu is crying for?!"

Yin Chengan's heart shrank suddenly, and the appearance of his younger brother suddenly came to his heart.

The little child actually has a tenacious mind, and he didn't say anything no matter how he was insulted by Yin Chengyi before, but when he heard someone say that his brother was a lone star and should have died a long time ago, his love suddenly collapsed.

Yin Chengan suddenly felt like a knife in his heart.

Gu Nan stretched out his hand to support his shoulder: "Cheng'an, do you remember the first time I asked you what you wanted to do when you made tea, do you remember now?" ”

How can you forget jì?

I want to protect my little brother!

I want to wash away the grievances of General Huaiyuan's mansion!

He wants to ascend to that supreme position and trample under his feet all those who have given him shame and resentment!

"Did you think of it?" The young man's hoarse voice came again, faintly firm and strong: "Cheng'an, tell me, what is the first place in your wishes?" ”

It's to protect the younger brother!

It's to protect the younger brother!

It's to protect the younger brother!

A voice shouted loudly at Yin Cheng's bottom of the heart, word by word, making his eyes suddenly hot.

He couldn't help but tremble, only to feel that his heart felt like someone was holding it tightly, and it was throbbing.

As soon as the qiē was all clear at this time, Yin Chengan looked up at Gu Nan's moist eyes, and suddenly felt that he was actually very useless.

He lowered his hand dejectedly, a chill in his heart, and the next second, his body was embraced into a warm embrace, and the hoarse voice of the young man rang in his ears, obviously he was heartbroken enough, but he was still comforting him.

"Cheng'an, you will have to walk in the deep palace for many years after that, but you have to remember that no matter when, you must not forget your original intention."

Yin Chengan gritted his teeth and stood.

The boy's voice paused, then sounded again.

"Also, from now on, I will accompany you in joy and suffering, this sentence is not a lie."

It was clearly a very warm word, but Yin Chengan listened to it and only felt sad.

It is a mixture of guilt and distress that precipitates the feelings, piercing into the bottom of the heart, and it is difficult to scar.

He lowered his head and leaned on Gu Nan's shoulder, and the fragrant smell of the young man's body came to the tip of his nose, and his eyes were a little blurry.

All these years appeared in my mind, the fear of watching the blood flow of the Taiji Hall in the rainy night, the difficulty of struggling alone with my young brother in the deep palace, the despair of nightmares covered with blood surging at this time, and the scars that had been in my heart for a long time that were difficult to heal were ruthlessly uncovered, bit by bit, into the most indescribable pain and bursts of desperate and sad cries in my heart.

How wronged, how wronged.

Yin Chengan gritted his teeth, but there were still uncontrollable cries overflowing, implying collapse and despair.

Gu Nan caressed his back, without saying a word, but it was enough to comfort.

I don't know how long it took for the young man in his arms to gradually quiet down, Gu Nan looked down and saw that Yin Chengan had closed his eyes, obviously crying tired and falling asleep.

Gu Nan carefully helped the young man lie down, reached out to tuck the quilt for him, and sat on the edge of the bed in silence.

The sleeping young man still had tears on his face, and Gu Nan touched it gently, dry and cold.

Gu Nan watched quietly, and suddenly heard a soft noise outside the door, he walked over and opened the door, the little prince was standing there in obscene clothes covering his mouth, his eyes were red and swollen.

Reaching out to hug him in, Gu Nan sighed: "Did you hear what I said to your brother just now?" ”

The little prince nodded with red eyes, thought about it, and opened his mouth with a crying voice: "Taifu, don't blame my brother, those are not what he said in his heart, he didn't want to." ”

"I don't blame him." Gu Nan touched the little prince's forehead and carried him to the bed: "Don't think too much, go to sleep...... Also, what the three princes said today is all lies, you are Cheng'an's heart, and you are my little prince, don't you know it? ”

Hearing the word cumbersome, the little prince's eyes faintly appeared again, but he still nodded obediently: "I know, Taifu." ”

"That's good." Gu Nan turned off the oil lamp and lay down among them, patting the little prince's hand: "Sleep." ”

The little prince closed his eyes.

The rain outside did not stop, and the inside of the temple was full of darkness.

Gu Nan turned his head to look at Yin Chengan's side face in the dark, and his eyes were a little sour.

How could I blame you? Cheng'an.

Even if you feel heartache, it's not as good as one-tenth of the scar you tear open your heart.

Outside, the rain was pouring down, and the hall was dark and silent.

Gu Nan finally fell asleep in a chaotic mind, and he couldn't be at peace in his dreams.

After he was breathing evenly, the young man who had fallen asleep first opened his eyes and stared at his face in the moonlight, and finally reached out to trace his facial features over and over again, his eyes heavy.
