Walking to the imperial study, Pei Lengqiu called the little eunuch on duty to go in to report, and after a while, the little eunuch went out to salute: "Mr. Gu, the emperor announced that you are here." ”

Gu Nan pushed the door in, and a person wearing a bright yellow dragon robe sat behind the vermilion desk and looked up at him, Gu Nan bowed his head and arched his hand: "The grass people see the emperor." ”

The young man's appearance of neither humility nor arrogance came into his eyes, and Emperor Jingzhao Yin Xu was a little stunned for a while. In a trance, he seemed to return to thirty-five years ago, he stood beside the emperor, a young man dressed in white pushed the door in, bowed his hand, and his white cloud shirt moved with the wind, scorching grace.

Since then, Gu Jingzhi's three words have been engraved in his heart, for thirty-five years.

Especially since he ascended the throne and Gu Jingzhi left, that figure has been dreaming every night, and for twenty-seven years, he has become obsessed.

Yin Xu stood up and walked to Gu Nan's side, as if bewitched, and reached out to touch the young man's cheek.

Gu Nan took a step back silently and spoke again: "Grass people Gu Nan, see the emperor." ”

Gu Nan, Gu Jingzhi.

Yin Xu suddenly came to his senses, looked at the young man's delicate eyebrows and black hair in front of him, and smiled helplessly.

Yes, how could it be Gu Jingzhi, when I first saw him, he was fourteen years old, and now he is thirty-five years old, and he is almost half a hundred years old, so he is still beautiful, how can he compare to the scenery of a young man.

"Get up." Yin Xu helped Gu Nan up, and his eyes were clear: "Jingzhi has already sent me a letter before, I ascended the throne at the age of twenty-one, and I have worked hard for twenty-seven years, and occasionally I feel exhausted. You Wushuang Valley has served as a Taifu for generations, the talent of the emperor, and you were only one year older than you when Jingzhi assisted me, and now that you have become a teacher, it is time to take over the burden of Jingzhi. ”

As he spoke, Yin Xu's eyes softened a little: "Is it okay to respect him?" ”

How can it be okay? Gu Nan lowered his eyes, the disciple of Wushuang Valley would not live to be thirty, and Gu Jingzhi, who was outstanding in history, had already turned into a handful of loess nineteen years ago.

Even the letter was written on his deathbed to pave the way for the next disciple.

The rules of the Peerless Valley have been the same for generations.

It's just that these Gu Nan naturally won't say, in the face of Yin Xu's inquiry, he just gave his hands away, and his voice was light: "It's good." ”

The emperor, who had always been introverted, had a rare amount of comfort on his face, and lowered his eyes and smiled: "That's good...... So you've already chosen someone to help? ”

Gu Nan bowed his head and saluted the emperor in front of him again: "The fifth son of the emperor, Yin Cheng'an." ”

Yin Xu's fingers paused, and after a while, he began to tap on the tabletop, he raised his eyes to look at Gu Nan, and the fierce color and exploration were hidden in the depths of his eyes, inadvertently revealing some, full of shocking colors.

Gu Nan looked at him with a smile, still neither humble nor arrogant.

After a long time, Yin Xu withdrew his fingers and smiled slightly: "You really look very respectful, so let's go, other things...... I'll take care of it. ”

"Thank you."

Emperor Jing Zhao waved his hand: "Go." ”

Gu Nan turned around and walked out of the door, without looking back.

Yin Xu sat behind the table and looked at his back, his expression a little abrupt.

Thirty-five years ago, Gu Jingzhi, who was dressed in white and had an outstanding demeanor, stood in the room with a smile and a smile, choosing him who was the son of a concubine at that time.

Thirty-five years later, his disciple Gu Nan stood here with an indifferent and leisurely expression, and chose Yin Chengxiu, who was also the son of a criminal concubine.

How similar.

Yin Xu lowered his eyes and unfolded the scroll in his hand, and on the scroll, the fourteen-year-old Gu Hengzhi stood in the spring light, scorching and beautiful.

His fingers caressed the young man's face on the scroll, and his expression was a little stunned for a while.

From then on, Yin Cheng'an of the Taiji Hall could be accompanied by one person.

But he can only rely on a portrait and memories to survive these decades of long nights.

Xuanjing Taiji Hall in the west, the late Ning Guifei's dormitory, Ning Guifei favored the six palaces in the past, and the Taiji Palace was prosperous and lively, but with the rebellion of the Ning family, Ning Guifei hanged herself and died.

Pei Lengqiu stopped outside the Taiji Palace: "Taifu Gu, this is the residence of the Fifth Prince and the Seventh Prince, but do you want to go in now?" ”

Gu Nan's jaw headed: "I'm tired of my father-in-law." ”

Pei Lengqiu hurriedly waved his hand and led Gu Nan into the Taiji Hall.

It has not been taken care of for several years, and the once splendid hall has lost its prosperous color. Gu Nan walked all the way over, only to see that the Zhumen was mottled, the moire was broken, and the white marble steps were also dusty and gray, only the plum blossom tree was still blooming beautifully in the early spring, with a little vitality.

Under the tree, a young man in a plain robe stood there, and when he saw Gu Nan looking over, he leaned over and blocked the boy next to him, looking up at Gu Nan with a stubborn expression.

Pei Lengqiu saluted to the young man: "Fifth Highness, this is the Taifu that Your Majesty is looking for you, Gu Nan, Gu Taifu." ”

Hearing this, Yin Chengan lowered his eyes, and the corners of his mouth pulled out a mockery.

Majesty, majesty, the high-ranking Ninety-Five, where can I still remember the son of the sin concubine in this remote Taiji Palace, and now the person who suddenly appeared is the Taifu or the person who is watching?

He raised his head and shielded Yin Chengxiu behind him more tightly in a protective attitude: "Taifu? ”

Gu Nan took a step forward, ignored the young man's vigilant gaze, and bowed: "Peerless Valley Gu Nan, see Your Highness." ”

Yin Chengan's pupils shrank suddenly, and there was no Shuanggu in the valley.

Qiankun Langlang, the unparalleled valley of the emperor's talent.

Obscurity flashed in his eyes, once upon a time, he also wanted to get the assistance of Wushuang Valley, step on the most noble seat in the world, and see the prosperity of the world. But this qiē disappeared on that rainy night three years ago, and the blood and cries that meandered down the white marble steps closed his five senses, and then destroyed his longing with all his dependence.

Since then, he has taken his two-year-old younger brother to float in this deep palace, guarding this devastated Taiji Hall to survive in the white eyes and spit, and it will be three years.

All the blood and longing have long been scattered into mud in the past thousand days and nights.

Gu Nan took his expressions into his eyes one by one, knowing that he was obsessed, and turned his head to Pei Lengqiu: "Father-in-law, please go back first, I will take care of Your Highness Five." ”

Although this was not in accordance with the rules, Pei Lengqiu didn't say much, bent down and saluted and turned to leave.

In the huge Taiji Hall, there were only three people left for a while, and a plum blossom.

Yin Chengxiu, who was protected by Yin Cheng'an, poked his head out curiously to look at Gu Nan, and smiled happily, and the pear vortex was shallow.

Gu Nan couldn't help but smile when he saw Yin Chengxiu's cute appearance. Yin Chengan couldn't see Yin Chengxiu's movements, he only saw the young man in front of him bending his eyes and laughing, his white cloud shirt moving lightly with the wind, and he was noble and graceful.

Laughing at the spring breeze, I don't know it.

The news of the birth of the Gu clan in Wushuang Valley quickly spread throughout the court, and many people with good intentions went to investigate, only to find that Emperor Jingzhao had already found Taifu for all the princes over the age of eight at the same time, and they were all Gu clans.

Who is the disciple of Wushuang Valley, no one knows.

There are rumors outside, but inside the Taiji Hall is a leisurely appearance. Gu Nan and Yin Cheng'an sat at the stone table under the plum tree to make tea, occasionally plum blossoms fell into the tea, and the smell of plum blossoms was added to the tea fragrance, and the aroma was dense.

Yin Chengan sat opposite Gu Nan and looked at him, he couldn't see the appearance of the person opposite clearly in the vapor, he could only see a pair of slender hands fiddling with the tea set, with an elegant posture.

Soon, the water vapor in front of him became more intense, like a white mist, completely isolating his vision.

"People say that you can see your truest ** in the fog, Fifth Highness, what do you see in this fog?"

What do you see? Yin Chengan was confused, opened his eyes and looked at the rising mist in front of him, and his brain was blank. After a long time, his eyes regained focus, and when he looked at the water vapor again, he suddenly saw the mist slowly twisting into a mirror, and inside, Yin Chengan saw the magnificent Tai Chi Hall and his radiant self.

That was three years ago.

He saw himself walking around in this Tai Chi Hall in gorgeous clothes, and saw the gentle and beautiful mother sitting under the plum tree smiling.

But this qiē was taken away by a rain in the end.

Yin Chengan clenched his fists, the picture in front of him had changed to late at night, the rain hit the eaves and made a crisp sound, in this silence, the Taiji Hall was suddenly illuminated by torches, a holy decree, the Taiji Hall became a purgatory on earth. The blood meandered down the white marble steps, the cry of the fight did not disperse all night, he hid in the corner with his young brother in his arms and watched the people of the Taiji Palace being killed, and finally his mother, the bright and delicate woman, ended the rest of her life with a white silk in front of the palace.

Since then, the Taiji Hall has become a barren land, and he has lost all his support.

Yin Chengan stared at the mist in front of him, and he could still vaguely hear the sound of crying and screaming on that rainy night in his ears.

A clear voice suddenly sounded, drowning out the sharp voice slightly.

"Think of what you saw on that rainy night, think of all the pain you have endured for the past three years. Yin Cheng'an, sue me, I have struggled and risen in this deep palace for more than a thousand days and nights, what do you want to do now?! ”

What do you want to do?

Yin Chengan's eyes were red, and a voice rose from the bottom of his heart, with blood on every word.

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!

Revenge! Revenge! Revenge!

The two words kept shouting in his heart, Yin Chengan glared fiercely, and his expression was hideous and crazy. He stared at his hands, his mind was invaded by tyrannical desire, and he suddenly wanted to destroy a qiē.

The crazy paranoid thought had just appeared, and the tightly held hand was suddenly held by a pair of warm and soft hands.

He was stunned, the red in his eyes dissipated slightly, and he looked ahead.

The white mist had faded, and the young man's delicate eyebrows appeared in front of his eyes, and his smile carried a soothing power, instantly diluting the blood and ruin of that rainy night.

"Remember what you want." The light voice had a solemn taste, and the young man held his hand, looking up with pride and dazzling appearance: "Yin Cheng'an, within seven years, you will ascend to that supreme position, and you will have unparalleled power and prestige, reigning over the world, and your dignity is incomparable." ”

Reigning in the world, the dignity is incomparable.

Eight words, Yin Chengan suddenly felt that all the longing and blood that had been lost on that rainy night came back, with a scorching temperature and majestic momentum, surging and out of control.

And the man who made him regain his qiē stood up and saluted him in a solemn manner.

"And the minister, I am willing to do my best to assist His Highness, and I will never give up."

Yin Chengan lowered his eyes and looked at the young man in front of him, countless pictures flashed in front of his eyes one by one, dilapidated and prosperous, and finally fixed on Gu Nan's lowered eyebrows.

He stretched out his hand to help Gu Nan up, was silent for a long time, and opened his mouth in a solemn tone: "Taifu." ”

This is to admit Gu Nan.

Gu Nan smiled slightly, sat down again with Yin Chengan, lifted the lid of the clay pot, and the fragrance of tea suddenly overflowed.

"When the fog is gone, the fragrance is overflowing." Su Bai's hand lifted the clay pot and filled the teacup, and the young man's voice was still light: "I should have been blessed with boiling wine, but Your Highness can know why I use tea instead of wine?" ”

Yin Chengan shook his head.

"Because wine can easily make people intoxicated, tea can make people sober." Gu Nan pushed the teacup forward: "Your Highness, try it." ”

Yin Chengan lowered his eyes and looked at the teacup, his eyes were dyed brown by the tea.

After a moment of silence, he picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, and the bitterness suddenly spread in his mouth, but when the bitterness was extreme, a sweet taste suddenly appeared, covering up all the bitterness.

Three years of ups and downs, one dawn.

Gu Nan, Gu Taifu.

Yin Chengan thought, this name, he is afraid that he will never forget it in this life.
