When Gu Yunjin and the others returned to the palace, Dai Jinchao and Meng Wanqing had not returned.

Gu Yunjin helped Princess Nanling and said, "Mother, I'll send you back to Anciyuan to rest first, and when the prince and Wanqing come back, I'll let someone tell the mother." ”

Princess Nanling looked worried, sighed and said, "I don't know if Wanqing's injury is serious, I hope nothing will happen." ”

Gu Yunjin was also worried in his heart, but he had to force a smile to appease Princess Nanling: "Don't worry, concubine, it will definitely be fine, I heard from the guards that there is a medical hall near the royal temple, and Wanqing will be able to be treated soon." ”

"Mother, let's go." Dai Leyan also stepped forward, and Gu Yunjin helped Princess Nanling to walk to Anciyuan.

After coming out of Anciyuan, Gu Yunjin continued to wait in front of the palace, and the whole person was in a state of anxiety and anxiety, walking around constantly. She didn't know what would happen to Dai Jinchao if something really happened to Meng Wanqing. In fact, at that time, she and Meng Wanqing were not far away, and in the crisis, Dai Jinchao saved her as soon as possible, but she didn't have time to save Meng Wanqing, thinking that Meng Wanqing would definitely have complaints in her heart.

About half an hour later, I saw a carriage appear in the distance.

Gu Yunjin's expression tightened, and he hurriedly walked quickly in the direction of the carriage.

"How's it going?" There was still a long way to go, so she asked nervously.

The curtain of the car was lifted in response, revealing Dai Jinchao's slightly solemn face, "Wanqing is already awake, don't come over, go back." ”

Gu Yunjin finally breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for the carriage to pass in front of him before following the carriage and walking back.

The carriage slowly stopped in front of the palace, and Dai Jinchao got off first, and then reached out to help Meng Wanqing.

However, Meng Wanqing didn't look at him at all, her face was condensed, she stretched out her hand to Xiao Ye, and entered the mansion without looking back.

Dai Jinchao's arm froze in mid-air for a long time before he sighed sadly.

"Let's go in too." Gu Yunjin pulled his sleeve and said softly.

Dai Jinchao nodded almost invisibly and walked silently towards the house.

Gu Yunjin sighed secretly and followed.

I don't know if it was to avoid them, Meng Wanqing and Xiao Ye walked very fast, and the distance between the two sides quickly widened.

Dai Jinchao looked at the white yarn wrapped around Meng Wanqing's head from afar, and he couldn't rest assured, and when he arrived outside the gate of Chaohuayuan, he still decided to take a look, "Yunjin, you go back to the room first, and I'll go to Qingxin Pavilion." ”

Gu Yunjin didn't care if there was a maid, he shook his hand tightly, and said softly, "Okay." ”

A warmth slowly flowed through Dai Jinchao's suppressed heart, and he also shook her hand back and turned to leave.

It wasn't until his figure disappeared that Gu Yunjin entered Chaohua Yuan with heavy steps.

Dai Jinchao came to Qingxin Pavilion, but saw that the door of Meng Wanqing's bedroom was closed, he raised his hand and knocked twice, no one opened the door, and when he was about to knock again, Xiao Ye's voice suddenly came out of the door: "Lord Shizi, my young lady just fell asleep." ”

After so many years, Dai Jinchao was rejected by Meng Wanqing for the first time. Hearing this, he didn't dwell on it, and said in a low voice: "Okay, I'll come to see her later." He knew that Meng Wanqing was not sleeping, but she didn't want to see him.

Gu Yunjin returned to the room listlessly, and just wanted to sit down and rest, when he saw Dai Jinchao walking in, he couldn't help but ask strangely, "Why did you come back so soon?" Is Wanqing okay? ”

Dai Jinchao only felt physically and mentally exhausted, and as soon as he entered the room, he fell on the bed, and after a while, he said sullenly: "She didn't see me." ”

Gu Yunjin stepped forward and lay down beside him, put one hand on his chest, and said worriedly, "Then what should I do?" I'm afraid Wanqing has a lot of opinions about you this time. ”

Dai Jinchao sighed and blamed himself: "It's useless to blame me, I can actually save her together at that time, but I ......"

Gu Yunjin suddenly blocked his lips and cut off his unfinished words, and after a while, he let go, gently traced his eyebrows and eyes with his hand and said, "You don't have to blame yourself, the situation was critical, and even the guards who followed behind didn't have time to react, I think Wanqing should be able to understand, maybe the past two days will be fine." ”

"I hope so." Dai Jinchao sighed, then took her hand and put it to his lips and kissed it. Now he is most relieved that the woman next to him is fine.

However, things were not as Gu Yunjin said, and the past two days were fine, because in the next ten days, Dai Jinchao had a closed door every time he went to Qingxin Pavilion.

Gu Yunjin looked at Dai Jinchao, who was becoming more and more irritable and blamed himself, and he was also dissatisfied in his heart, feeling that Meng Wanqing had gone too far. Although Meng Wanqing is the cousin of the palace and is very good to Dai Jinchao, but in the end she is Dai Jinchao's wife, and it is reasonable for Dai Jinchao to save her first in a crisis, Meng Wanqing refuses to forgive Dai Jinchao because of this anger, she really takes herself too seriously, is it possible that she has to save her first before she is satisfied?

In the evening, the weather, which had been overcast for two days, suddenly changed dramatically, and heavy black clouds quickly gathered, and lightning flashed, indicating that a storm was about to come.

Gu Yunjin saw that Dai Jinchao was going to Qingxin Pavilion again, and asked forcefully: "It's going to change the sky, are you still going?" Didn't you just go there at noon? ”

Dai Jinchao said while sorting out his clothes: "I heard that the maid of Qingxin Pavilion said that Wanqing has started to have nightmares again in the past few days, and she is also most afraid of thunder and lightning, I don't worry, go see her again." ”

Even if he can't see anyone, he still has to go, how important Meng Wanqing is in his heart. Gu Yunjin suddenly felt a dull pain in his heart, and his breathing gradually became heavier, seeing that Dai Jinchao was about to walk out of the door, he finally couldn't bear to ask in a cold voice: "What's the matter with her?" What do you want? Are you going to leave her like this for the rest of your life? ”

Dai Jinchao's body suddenly froze, and he was silent for a long time before he retracted his steps and came to her, holding her shoulders tightly and saying, "Yunjin, Wanqing has a great favor to me, and I can't abandon her." ”

Gu Yunjin stared straight at him and asked word by word, "What do you want to do with her?" Do you want to take her as a wife, or do you want to take her as a concubine? ”

"Yunjin, don't talk nonsense, we are already married, how can we still marry her, I told you, she is my sister."

"Sister?" Gu Yunjin had a sad and sad smile on his face, "Does she treat you as a brother?" Yes, we're married, but do you think the two of us are living normally? Aren't you doing this to me just to take care of her feelings? I really don't understand, what the hell are the three of us like this, is it interesting to be entangled like this all the time? ”

Dai Jinchao was speechless when asked, the hands holding her shoulders hung weakly, and there was a stagnant silence in her eyes, for a long time, she turned around and left in silence, her back was lonely.

Gu Yunjin looked at his figure moving away step by step, his eyes gradually blurred, his heart cramped, he slowly squatted down and hugged himself, crying silently, why is this happening?

When Dai Jinchao came to Qingxin Pavilion, he unexpectedly found that Meng Wanqing's bedroom door was ajar.

He was stunned at first, and hurriedly walked in.

The house was very quiet, there were no maids guarding it, not even Xiao Ye.

Dai Jinchao saw the person lying on the bed facing inward, and slowly stepped forward and said, "Wanqing, I came to see you, I don't know if the injury on your head is healed?" ”

"Is my injury good, will the prince still care?" Meng Wanqing's voice was calm, calm to the point of almost indifference.

Dai Jinchao sat down on the edge of the bed and said sadly and reproachfully: "I know, you blame me in your heart, but I didn't have time to think about anything at that time." ”

"So, out of instinct, you saved her and gave up on me." Meng Wanqing's voice was still unwavering.

Dai Jinchao wanted to explain, but when he opened his mouth, he found that everything was superfluous, and in the end he only said three words, "I'm sorry." ”

Meng Wanqing seemed to be stimulated by this sentence, sat up from the bed suddenly, grabbed his arm tightly and complained bitterly: "I'm sorry? Brother today, do you know that I was almost going to die that day, and I was going to die, what is the use of saying sorry! ”

"I'm sorry." Dai Jinchao repeated, with deep guilt in his eyes.

Meng Wanqing suddenly burst into tears, and shouted hoarsely: "Brother Jinchao, you said that you would protect me and not let me be hurt, but what did you do?" Because of Gu Yunjin, you don't care if I live or die, do you know how heartbroken and desperate I am? I also have a happy home, I have my father and brother who love me and love me, I could have been like Gu Yunjin, become the daughter of this Shengjing City, find a wishful husband, and live a rich and stable life, but now, I am nothing, I live in the dark like a ghost all day long, you are my only hope, but it breaks my heart, brother, you tell me what to do? What do you mean by saying I'm alive? ”

"I feel your pain, I'm sorry." Dai Jinchao hugged her who was crying tightly into his arms, and there was a hardship in his eyes. He is not a ghost living in darkness.

Meng Wanqing seemed to be tired of crying, leaned on his arms and gradually calmed down, quietly looked at the bright and dark sky outside the window, and said quietly: "I really envy Gu Yunjin, she is noble, virtuous and virtuous, and has thousands of favors, and now, I can be treated by my brother today, if it is me, I will have no regrets even if I die." ”

Thinking of what Gu Yunjin said, Dai Jinchao's heart swelled with endless sadness, the three of them were entangled, who could be truly happy? Perhaps, from the moment he decided to marry her, he made the wrong choice.

Wind and rain are raging, lightning and thunder are roaring, and tonight is destined to be an unquiet night.

When Gu Yunjin saw that Dai Jinchao went to Qingxin Pavilion and did not come back soon, he guessed that Meng Wanqing might have met Dai Jinchao.

Dinner was put on the table, Gu Yunjin waited for a long time, and saw that Dai Jinchao still hadn't come back, so he ate first.

After dinner and washing, Gu Yunjin went to bed directly, because it was still early, he wanted to read a book for a while before sleeping, but he was always restless, and he couldn't raise any interest, so he finally put down the book and stared at a place in front of him in a daze.

The thunder outside the window gradually became quieter, but the sound of the rain showed no signs of abating.

Time passed slowly, and Yun'er, who was keeping vigil outside, was very worried when she saw that Dai had not returned for a long time, so she held an umbrella and prepared to wait outside Chaohuayuan.

When he was about to arrive at the gate of Chaohuayuan, he saw Dai Jinchao walking in with an umbrella.

Yun'er was overjoyed, and hurriedly said, "The prince is back, and dinner is ready for you." ”

Dai Jinchao nodded, looked through the rain curtain at the bright window of the master bedroom, and after a long time, he said: "No, I'll go directly to the study, and tell the princess that I have something very important to deal with tonight, and I will rest in the study directly." ”

Yun'er persuaded: "Today's weather is not good, the prince has always been weak, even if there is anything important, you have to eat and deal with it." ”

"I'm not hungry, you can go back." Dai Jinchao's voice couldn't hear any emotion, and he finally glanced at the light, turned around and walked towards the study.

Yun'er had no choice but to come back and pass a message to Gu Yunjin.

After hearing this, Gu Yunjin sighed deeply, thought for a moment, and instructed Yun'er to put the food into the food box, and he also got up and dressed up again.

Because it was night and he didn't go anywhere else, Gu Yunjin simply put his hair in a bun and didn't apply powder to his face, and quickly cleaned up.

Yun'er carried the food box, Yue Liushao held an umbrella and carried a lantern, and the three of them walked to the study together.

In front of the door of the study, there were two guards guarding, and when they saw Gu Yunjin coming, they immediately opened the door.

Gu Yunjin took the food box from Yun'er's hand and entered alone.

As soon as she entered the study, Gu Yunjin smelled a smell of wine, and the more she walked inside, the stronger the wine became, and when she came to the innermost bedroom, the smell of wine had choked her and coughed constantly.

Hearing the cough, Dai Jinchao, who was holding a wine glass and lying on the table, seemed to have just noticed her, looked up at her, and said slightly drunk: "You are here." ”

Gu Yunjin nodded, and put the soup and vegetables in the food box on the table one by one.

"Thank you for still thinking of me." Dai Jinchao smiled sadly and drank all the wine in the cup.

Gu Yunjin said calmly: "What is the prince saying, being a wife, this is his duty." ”

When Dai Jinchao heard this, his expression froze, and he picked up the wine jug and continued to pour the wine, but was quickly stopped by a hand.

"Borrowing wine to kill your sorrows will only make you more worried, the prince has already drunk too much, so let's eat some food."

If it was in the past, Dai would have obeyed, but today, he took that hand away, poured another full glass of wine, and then drank it all, and after drinking, he poured another glass, and drank it all again.

Gu Yunjin saw that he was going to continue drinking, snatched the wine jug, frowned and said unhappily: "Drinking hurts your body, the prince is not in good health, you should pay more attention." ”

"Yunjin, let's leave."

When she heard this unclear sentence, Gu Yunjin's first reaction was that Dai Jinchao was drunk, because she didn't believe that the sober Dai Jinchao would say such a thing.

"What did the prince just say? I didn't hear clearly. Gu Yunjin asked calmly, but the hands that grabbed the wine jug clenched involuntarily.

Dai Jinchao looked at her with wandering eyes, "We are married by the emperor, and we can't be easily divorced, but I will explain to the emperor and the queen mother that I won't blame you." ”

All the sounds of the world stopped in an instant.

Gu Yunjin sat stiffly on the chair, staring at the man in front of him without blinking, forgetting to breathe, forgetting to think, and forgetting the pain...... (To be continued.) )
