Chapter 059: The Night Road Is Dangerous
"No, the prince won very well today." Liu Shihua said lightly.
Gu Ranchen raised his eyebrows, and was a little proud when he was praised by Liu Shihua.
"Lord Wang, there is something to ask for in poetry and painting." Liu Shihua changed her words and rushed to the point, this was the purpose of her desire to find Gu Ranchen.
"If you have something to say, it's just." Gu Ranchen looked at Liu Shihua unguardedly and replied gently.
"Now that the Heavenly Sword has returned to its original owner, can this matter be over?" Liu Shihua raised her eyes to look at Gu Ranchen's eyes, and asked a little nervously.
"Hmm. Probably. If the emperor doesn't pursue it anymore, I won't interfere in this matter anymore, after all, this matter involves the harem, and if you participate too much, it will lead to death. Gu Ranchen replied nonchalantly.
Liu Shihua continued to ask, "Will the emperor pursue it?" When he asked this, Liu Shihua regretted it a little, and such an obvious question would not arouse Gu Ranchen's suspicions.
Sure enough, Gu Ranchen was indeed suspicious, "It shouldn't be, the matter of the harem will affect the whole body, and the emperor shouldn't want to bother with **." But why do you care so much about this, do you know something? What did Mo Fei Si Lan Jue say to you again? β
Liu Shihua was shocked, she asked so much because she was worried that Concubine Ping would be implicated, but she didn't dare to say these words to Gu Ranchen, not because she didn't believe him, but because Liu Shihua firmly believed that only by hiding everything about Concubine Ping in her heart was the safest.
Liu Shihua didn't make a sound, and he didn't dare to look up at Gu Chenchen's eyes, he would be disappointed if he knew that she had scruples about him.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ranchen was very knowledgeable, and seeing that Liu Shihua was reluctant to speak, he didn't persecute him, "No matter what you know, remember, put away your edge, be careful every step, and don't let yourself become the target of public criticism." β
Liu Shihua nodded, a little grateful for Gu Ranchen's understanding, "Thank you for mentioning it." β
Gu Ranchen hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and kindly reminded, "In the hall today, Princess Linglong's actions show that she still remembers your hatred and will not give up." β
Liu Shihua nodded, "Well, the poetry and painting will be careful, and today I would like to thank the prince for relieving the poetry and painting." β
"I said, we are friends, why do you say so much thank you!" Gu Ranchen said with a smile.
Liu Shihua sighed, remembering what happened on the school field today, he was really scared for a while, "Alas, Bailixuan is really a madman, and he actually came up with the idea of using people as arrow targets." However, the prince's proposal is also a bit risky. β
Gu Ranchen seemed to be very dissatisfied with Liu Shihua's comparison of him to Baili Xuan, "At least I won't gamble with other people's lives." β
Liu Shihua nodded, yes, gambling with other people's lives is the behavior of a villain, he can't afford what he wants to get, and he pushes the danger to others, even if he succeeds, it will be shameful.
"But, what if the prince loses? If Baili Xuan's arrow deviates a little, wouldn't the prince "Liu Shihua didn't dare to think about it anymore, if Gu Ranchen really died on the school field today, she would probably feel guilty for the rest of her life, after all, Gu Ranchen couldn't bear to shoot the arrow at her before proposing to shoot it at herself.
Gu Ranchen disagreed, "The bet will definitely be risky." However, I know Bai Lixuan, he is a person who is afraid of death, and he must not shoot this arrow calmly. β
"Bailixuan is afraid of death, isn't the prince afraid?" Although Gu Ranchen said it easily, Liu Shihua felt that he must have been under great pressure at that time, and the price of this bet was too heavy, so heavy that Liu Shihua couldn't help but feel distressed.
"I'm afraid." Gu Ranchen replied without thinking, "But for the sake of the Heavenly Sword, I can take any risk. β
Gu Ranchen paused and continued, "Don't talk about this. I invite you here today to have a drink with me and celebrate. The Heavenly Sword was gained and lost, but fortunately, it was not worthy of the ancestors of the Gu family. It was said to be a celebration, but Gu Ranchen's words were very heavy, as a descendant of the Gu family, it was a lucky thing, but his father went early, leaving him alone to support the family, facing a strong enemy, he probably was under great pressure.
Liu Shihua seemed to understand Gu Ranchen's helplessness and loneliness deep in his heart, for this Heavenly Sword, he had paid too much and endured too much. "Okay, since the prince has this Yaxing, the poetry and painting are willing to accompany him."
At this time, the moonlight was already thick, and the two of them pushed their glasses and exchanged glasses in the secluded place of this palace, and talked about wine.
It's probably because a thousand cups of wine can't vent the bitterness in their hearts, the more they drink, the more enjoyable they become, drinking and drinking, Liu Shihua is tired, leaning on the table and sleeping, Gu Ranchen can't bear to disturb her, take off her cloak, and gently drape it on Liu Shihua
I sat with her all night.
Bai Li Xuan came back from the school field, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and after a burst of anger, he picked up the wine jar and drank non-stop. Bai Lichen's persuasion on the side had no effect, so he had to let him get drunk.
was drunk, but Bailixuan didn't feel sleepy, and went to the imperial garden alone to blow the wind.
Bailixuan staggered and walked to a dense forest, where the cold wind blew, so comfortable.
On a whim, Bai Li Xuan slowly walked towards the depths of the forest, and as he walked, he looked up and saw that there was a bright girl standing in the middle of the forest.
The girl stood in the forest, with her back to Bailixuan, wearing a pink long skirt, floating in the wind, which was very good-looking.
Bai Li Xuan looked at the girl in a trance through the wine, like a fairy, he jumped up from behind with an arrow step, and hugged the girl's waist.
The girl was like a frightened deer, exclaimed, turned around, saw Bailixuan's appearance clearly, and scolded, "Bailixuan, you let go of me." β
This roar made Bailixuan sober up a lot, and if you look closely, this girl is her fiancΓ©e, Princess Linglong.
Bai Li Xuan took it into his arms, and although Princess Linglong kept struggling, Bai Li Xuan still had no intention of letting go.
"Yo, princess, it's a coincidence today, this king and I are in a bad mood today, it's better for the princess to follow this king, let this king relieve his boredom." If it was someone else, Bai Li Xuan would definitely not dare to be so presumptuous, but right now, he relied on Princess Linglong to be his woman sooner or later, so he would not restrain at all.
Princess Linglong's face turned pale with fright, and she desperately cried for help, "Help, help." β
