On the third day after Gu Yunjin returned to the palace, Zhao Ziheng, who was under house arrest in the prison, sent a message to him, saying that he wanted to see her. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

After the palace change, Empress Li committed suicide, the crown prince Zhao Ziheng was imprisoned, the mentally crazy princess Fu Junyue and her son were locked up in the cold palace, and later one morning, the palace people found that she was holding her son who was less than one year old and drowned in the pond, and Zhao Ruojun, the princess of Fengyang, who had married into the Nanling Palace, was cut off from the dust, and entered the empty door Half a year ago, the Empress Dowager Jiang also died of illness

Gu Yunjin thought back to the news he had heard in the past few days, there was no sadness, only deep desolation, and the sky made people

The prison was as dark and damp as ever, full of the smell of death.

Gu Yunjin was guided by the jailer to the cell where Zhao Ziheng was being held.

Zhao Ziheng, who was staring at a certain place with a dull gaze, saw her, and suddenly got up from the ground and rushed to the iron gate, "Yunjin, why did you come back?" Have you ever received a letter from me to send to you? The voice was hoarse and eager.

Gu Yunjin said softly: "I received it." ”

Zhao Ziheng looked at her with a stiff face for a long time, and his already numb heart began to ache faintly, "I understand, are you here to save him?" There was no cure for the poison in his body, but now they had found a way to detoxify it, and this Gu poison could be transferred to his closest people. Yunjin, don't you still understand? He took you back to save himself, he is no longer the Dai Jinchao of the past, now, he is the emperor, he has supreme power, and there can be countless women, he will not give up the world for you. ”

Gu Yunjin smiled lightly, regardless of joy or sorrow, "I understand that he is no longer Dai Jinchao, and I am no longer Gu Yunjin, now, we just have our own needs and take what we need." ”

She said that she didn't care, but in fact, she still cared in her heart, how could she watch her beloved die. Zhao Ziheng also smiled, his smile was sad and desperate, and he looked at the woman in front of him who had loved all his life, "Yunjin, after so many things, you are still so pure and kind, but I am already full of sin." ”

"I am here today to thank you for your love and care for me for so many years, I know that you have given a lot to get out of the prison, and I also know that you have taken a lot of care for the Gu family during their exile. I am grateful to you, and it is inconvenient for the Gu family to say it clearly, but I thank you for them today. ”

Seeing Gu Yunjin's tears slowly shed, Zhao Ziheng couldn't help but have difficult eyes, shook his head with a chuckle and said, "These are all things I do willingly, you don't have to keep them in mind." ”

Gu Yunjin was silent, and the topic was unsustainable. What to say? Once when she was imprisoned, Zhao Ziheng came to see her and gave her comfort and hope, but now, for him who has been under house arrest for life, she doesn't know what to say to comfort, and she can't give him the hope of freedom.

After a moment of relative silence, Gu Yunjin turned around and left.

Zhao Ziheng's hand that grabbed the iron door tightened tightly, his eyes were red and he watched her turn away, breathing heavily, wanting to say something but trying his best to restrain it, when the figure was about to disappear, he still didn't hold back after all, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Yunjin, I only ask you one word, have you ever loved me?" Although it doesn't matter whether there is or not, before he leaves, he still wants to ask for clarity.

The entire prison fell silent.

Gu Yunjin's body stiffened in place, did not look back, and said clearly word by word: "I once loved." ”

Zhao Ziheng's hand holding the iron door suddenly loosened, his tense body also loosened, and he smiled with tears in his eyes, "Yunjin, your words are enough." ”

Gu Yunjin raised his hand to wipe away the tears on his face and walked out of the prison quickly.

"The prince of the county has been practicing for a long time, stop and rest."

Gu Yunjin was walking back with the palace maids, and faintly heard a voice coming. The prince of the county? She couldn't help but look up at the source of the sound, and saw a figure wielding a sword in the distance. The other party also quickly discovered her, immediately stopped his movements, and hurriedly walked towards her.

When he got closer, Gu Yunjin saw clearly that it was Zhao Ziwen, who had been under house arrest.

"The Queen." Zhao Ziwen saluted respectfully, and his voice couldn't hide the excitement and joy.

Today's Zhao Ziwen is completely different from when he first met, his body is much stronger, his spirit is full, and his whole person exudes vitality.

Gu Yunjin took a handkerchief from Shui Langlian beside him and handed it to him, and persuaded with a smile: "Seeing that you are sweating profusely hot, come, wipe it quickly, the coming day will be long, exercise slowly, don't worry, be careful and tired." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law." Zhao Ziwen didn't call the queen anymore, took the handkerchief and wiped it on his forehead a few times, and said solemnly: "I heard that the northeast border is not peaceful, and the enemy is showing signs of aggression, my cousin is going to send troops to recruit it, I want to exercise my body quickly, and I can help my cousin fight the enemy in the future." ”

Gu Yunjin smiled slightly: "It's good that you have this heart, but your cousin asked you to stay in the palace to take care of your body, and the most important thing is to take care of your body first, you know?" ”

"Yes, sister-in-law, I remember." Zhao Ziwen responded loudly, and after receiving the signal, he saluted and retired.

Gu Yunjin was really happy for him, looking at his figure gradually moving away, he unexpectedly remembered Zhao Ziheng in the prison, and couldn't help but sigh infinitely, the world is really impermanent, and the ups and downs are endless.

Early the next morning, news of Zhao Ziheng's suicide came from the prison.

At this time, Gu Yunjin had just been cleaned, and he was wiping his face with a cloth towel, and when he got the news, he held the cloth towel and covered his face for a long time without moving.

After a while, she took off the cloth towel and calmly combed the palace maid.

Not long after, a palace maid came in and presented the small mahogany box in her hand to Gu Yunjin, "Niangniang, this is sent by someone from the prison, saying that it was something left by the former prince to Niangniang." ”

Gu Yunjin looked at it in a daze for a while before taking it and opening it gently.

There was a blue transparent glass bottle in the box, the lid of the bottle was tightly sealed, and through the bottle, it was impressive to see that it contained a black pill.

Gu Yunjin vaguely guessed what this pill was, his hand couldn't help but tremble slightly, and when he saw the handwriting left by Zhao Ziheng on the box, he dared to be sure that it was really the Heart Devouring Gu antidote. Now, she seems to understand that perhaps, Zhao Ziheng is alive just to wait for her.

She closed the wooden box and looked out at the sky through the lattice.

The sky is blue and clear, and the white clouds are like cotton, but some people can no longer see them.

"Give this wooden box to the emperor, and don't say anything else." Gu Yunjin handed the box back to the palace maid just now, and ordered in a calm voice.

"Yes, sissy." The palace maid took the wooden box and hurried away. To be continued.
