On the day I entered Beijing, it was raining lightly.

The hundred-year-old Kyoto is caged in the smoke and rain, slightly removing the glitz, adding a bit of elegant color to the carved beams and paintings.

The Pingnan Hou Mansion is still magnificent, only the place where Mrs. Ning lived before her death is dotted with a little white, and it is forgotten and lonely.

He Xiaoge's face was a little unsightly when he walked to the door of the Hou Mansion, no matter what, Mrs. Ning also gave birth to an heir for the Hou Mansion in Pingnan, and now she is dead, but there is not even a trace of white silk hanging outside, and when you get closer, you can even hear bursts of laughter from inside.

Gu Nan sighed softly in his heart, stepped forward and held his hand: "Go in." ”

The mourning hall is located in the courtyard of Mrs. Ning's life, which is very small, and only the coffin is placed in it, and only incense ashes are left in the incense burner on the case.

Not even a single watchman.

Gu Nan stood beside He Xiaoge, followed him to burn incense and bow down, stood up and walked to the side, He Xiaoge looked at the coffin tablet in front of him silently, his face expressionless.

The eaves outside were drizzling, and the inside of the house was very dark and full of damp smells, which was depressing for no reason.

After being silent for a long time, Gu Nan finally heard He Xiaoge's hoarse voice in the rain.

"The first person in the world to give me warmth is gone."

The woman who has a gentle temperament, loves to reach out and smile at flowers, and has hugged him on countless dark and cold nights and said don't be afraid, is gone.

All that was left was a cold coffin and futile thoughts.

How desperate.

I was so desperate that I only felt cold in my heart, as if I had been immersed in the abyss, and it was dark and sad. He Xiaoge covered his mouth and slowly bent down, his mind blank.

Gu Nan stood by the door and looked at his bent back, and for a moment, he thought He Xiaoge was crying.

But He Xiaoge didn't cry, and there was no love in the depths of his eyes.

Gu Nan walked up to him and knelt down, raised his eyes to He Xiaoge's expressionless face, didn't say anything, reached out and hugged He Xiaoge tightly, and put his face close to his shoulder.

"Don't be sad, He Xiaoge, don't be sad...... You still have me, and you still have me. ”

In one sentence, there are only eight words that go over and over.

Gu Nan felt that his shoulders were gradually wet.

A man who has always been tough and calm, even if he feels like this, he doesn't want to make a sound.

With a dull pain in his heart, Gu Nan reached out and hugged him closer, silently comforting him.

The wetness on his shoulders became thicker and thicker, and with the cold temperature, it was directly conveyed to Gu Nan's heart.

Outside, it was getting dark, and the rain was blowing on them, damp and cold.

"From now on, I only have you."

"It's just you, Gu Nan."

A sentence is low and hoarse, and every word goes to the bone.

Gu Nan opened his mouth, was silent for a long time, and spoke in a low voice.

"Okay."

At the same time as the words fell, the night wind suddenly rose, and the candle flame in the mourning hall flickered a few times and finally went out. After being silent in the dark for a long time, He Xiaoge patted Gu Nan's hand and pulled him to stand up, lit the candle again, and walked to the coffin.

In the coffin, the woman with gentle eyebrows and eyes was lying quietly, beautiful and gentle.

He Xiaoge lowered his eyes and stared at her face, not moving for a long time.

The wind rose again outside, blowing through the white silk candles and into the coffin, blowing the woman's wide sleeved robe.

The candles flickered all around, and the skin under the sleeve robe faintly fell into the eyes of the two.

It's bruised on it.

Gu Nan was shocked, and suddenly turned his eyes to look at He Xiaoge.

He Xiaoge's whole body stiffened the moment he saw the blue and purple color, his fists were clenched, and Gu Nan could see the green tendons above with a slight glance.

"He Xiaoge ......"

The person who was called by him didn't say anything, stepped forward and gently lifted the sleeve of Mrs. Ning's other hand with a trembling hand, the bruises were hideous and dazzling, and there was no need to look at other places, He Xiaoge stood silently on the edge of the coffin, Gu Nan couldn't see his face, he could only see the latter's hand grabbing the coffin and squeezing it fiercely, getting deeper and deeper.

Outside the window, the rain was dripping.

The candles in the house were faint, and no one spoke until the rain stopped and dawned.

Early in the morning, a small servant came, saying that the head of the family invited He Xiaoge to come over.

Hearing the voice, He Xiaoge slowly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot. The little messenger took a step back in fear, and then raised his eyes again, but the person in front of him had already regained his usual calm appearance, and got up and straightened his robe a little: "Let's go." ”

Gu Nan went with him, bypassed the bluestone road to the door of the study, the little servant retreated, He Xiaoge pushed the door in, and found that there were many people inside.

Pingnanhou, Qin, He Xiaocheng...... It's all there.

He Xiaoge's gaze swept over their faces one by one, a trace of nervousness flashed in the eyes of Ping Nanhou and Qin, and their pupils shrank, and they subconsciously took a step back, slamming their waists on the wooden table, and the teacup fell down, making a loud sound.

Just looking at his flustered appearance, Gu Nan also knew that Mrs. Ning's thing was definitely done by him, and he chuckled in his heart, and turned his eyes to look at He Xiaoge, only to find that the latter was still the same stable appearance as before, but the eyes that were originally as black as ink were now even darker and deeper.

In the end, it was the Qin family who broke the silence with a voice: "Sister Ning has always been kind, but she never thought about it but left so early...... Xiaoge, you don't have to be too sad. ”

As he spoke, he pretended to raise his sleeves and wiped the tears that were not there at all in the corners of his eyes.

He Xiaoge glanced at him lightly, and said word by word: "I want to know the reason for my mother's death." ”

He Xiaocheng's fingers shook, Qin's expression was stunned, and he quietly pulled He Xiaocheng behind him, with a sad expression: "At the beginning of spring, it was hot and cold, Sister Ning was not very infected with the wind and cold, she always coughed, and she took a few doses of medicine to get a little better. ”

Died of a violent illness.

But there are traces of abuse on his body.

Gu Nan stood behind He Xiaoge and reached out to touch the back of his heart. He Xiaoge lowered his eyes to hide the anger in his eyes, was silent for a while, and said softly: "That's ...... That's it. ”

No one thought he was abnormal, only Gu Nan understood the emotion in his words.

After dealing with a few more words, He Xiaoge went out of the study with Gu Nan. As soon as he went out, He Xiaoge's face suddenly sank, and he stood at the door and turned his eyes to look at the study for a long time, and spoke softly in a hoarse voice.

"This Pingnanhou Mansion...... Not anymore. ”

A sentence that was rare with ruthlessness, Gu Nan listened, lowered his eyes, and stepped forward to hold his hand.

"Either way, I'm with you." ――

After the first seven days, Mrs. Ning was buried.

On the day the coffin was put into the ground, He Xiaoge took Gu Nan back to the Beijing suburb courtyard, and then went out early and returned late.

Pingnanhou has been in the capital for a hundred years, and there are always many things that cannot be seen in the back of the big family, and it is good to tacitly do it, but if it is to be made public, even if it is an implicit rule, it is useless.

From the first time He Xiaoge brought back an account book, Gu Nan knew what he wanted to do, Gu Nan didn't ask anything, and went out one day to secretly check some things.

Before He Xiaoge could find something enough to destroy the Pingnan Hou Mansion, Gu Nan had to use all means to get him out of the Hou Mansion.

On this day, Gu Nan secretly followed He Xiaocheng to the teahouse, and after listening to some things and going out, at noon, the breeze was just right.

He Xiaocheng went to the Chunhua Xueyue Building, that kind of atmosphere was mixed with dragons and snakes Gu Nan was inconvenient to follow, so he walked back along the teahouse, walked a few meters forward and got on the bridge, with a slight glimpse, the blue water under the bridge rippled, the falling flowers were dotted, and the willows on the shore were reflected, which was beautiful.

The scenery is elegant, the surrounding people come and go with a quiet face, and it is obviously a place in Kyoto, but there is not much glitz and bustle.

Sheng Shicai is the most calm.

Although Xiao Congyu is ruthless, he is an excellent emperor.

Thinking of Xiao Congyu, Gu Nan lowered his eyes, only to realize that he seemed to have forgotten this raider for a long time.

He sighed, turned his head and took another step, and suddenly felt a burning gaze following him from behind.

Gu Nan stopped, turned around when he realized that the temperature behind him was even hotter, and instantly fell into a pair of dark and deep phoenix eyes.

[Ding, the favorability of Xiao Congyu was detected, and the current favorability is 70 (obsessed person). 】

Some people really can't remember it.

Gu Nan looked at Xiao Congyu helplessly, and the latter didn't know how long he had been standing there and looking at him, with a few fallen flowers falling on his shoulders, lining his face, and his face became more and more like a crown of jade.

Seeing Gu Nan looking at him, Xiao Congyu hooked his lips and smiled, his phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, but it was difficult to hide the burning meaning.

Looking into his eyes, Gu Nan suddenly remembered a sentence.

――You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery.

-- The people who watch the scenery look at you behind the bridge.

It's just horrible.

Lowering his eyes, the person with a pair of beautiful eyes in a gorgeous robe on the opposite side had already walked towards him, the breeze blew the hem of his robe, swept the falling flowers on the ground, and walked to Gu Nan with all the grace, and the distinguished young man reached out and touched his lips: "Mr. Gu, long time no see." ”

Gu Nan smiled hard.

His expression obviously pleased the young emperor, the hand on his lips was gently rubbed a few times, and the young man's voice was low and pleasant: "It's been almost half a year since I said goodbye last time, and now it's rare to see it, and I must ...... it."

The voice paused, his fingers slid to the left side of Gu Nan's cheek, and the deliberately suppressed voice had a demagogic taste: "Reminisce about the old ......"

How dangerous.

The naturally noble young man lowered his eyes, his white fingers kept rubbing on his cheeks, his phoenix eyes lightly stained with rippling eyes, and he said seductive words in a low voice, and his lips could hook all the hearts of others.

Just a little bit, Gu Nan agreed.

He came back to his senses, took a step back to avoid Xiao Congyu's fingers, and silently refused.

Xiao Congyu casually withdrew his hand, looked at him with an unpredictable expression for a while, and suddenly laughed: "Don't want to go? Pity...... I can't help you. ”

Gu Nan was startled, and before he could make a move, several people in green clothes appeared around him and surrounded him.

And Xiao Congyu walked to him from the middle with a warm smile, stretched out his hand to pinch his chin, and his voice was hoarse: "Look, you always can't learn well...... Don't look at me like that, just reminisce, I won't do anything to you. ”

As he spoke, he let go of the hand that was clamping Gu Nan's chin, and his movements gently brushed away the hair on Gu Nan's cheeks, and his tone suddenly became very gentle.

"You know, I can't bear it."
