(128) Wanhua River Lantern Afterimage (22)
Returning to the Gongqin Mansion in despair, Gu Yuancheng dismissed everyone, and sat on the railing outside the bedroom of the Qixiang Courtyard with a jar of wine alone, while looking at the closed door of the bedroom, he raised his head and drank a sip of wine, the overflowing wine slid down the corners of his mouth, and after a while, he soaked the loose placket.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you like this, the last time you were so miserable was when you just returned to Biancheng from outside five years ago." The young man in a long and purple shirt shook the folding fan in his hand, walked slowly to the opposite side of Gu Yuancheng, and then sat down with a folding fan, "What, failed?" ”
Gu Yuancheng only poured wine and didn't say a word.
"It doesn't make sense, could it be that my judgment was wrong?" Mei Yan touched her chin and became suspicious.
Gu Yuancheng paused for a moment in drinking, and smiled bitterly, "You're right, it's because you're right......"
When Mei Yan heard this, she was confused, "Then shouldn't you have succeeded?" How could she still sit here alone, staring at her room and drinking? ”
Gu Yuancheng clenched the wine jug in his hand and gritted his teeth, "She already has someone in her heart!" ”
"Huh?" Mei Yan was stunned for a moment, then spread the folding fan, covered his face and laughed, "So you are jealous?" It's so unusual, haha clams! ”
"Jealous?" After a pause, Gu Yuancheng looked up at Mei Yan for some reason, "What is eating wrong?" ”
"Uh......" Mei Yan didn't expect Gu Yuancheng to ask him like this, "This so-called 'jealousy', that is, it's ...... Anyway, who does she have in her heart that makes you so depressed? ”
Although Gu Yuancheng didn't understand the meaning of this word, he also had a vague bad premonition in his heart, coupled with Mei Yan's evasive words, he simply didn't ask, and followed his words, "It's her sixth princess, Cen Yuhe." ”
"Cen Yuhe?" Mei Yan raised her head and thought about it, "She is indeed a big beauty, I guess any man will be tempted when he sees her......"
"You!" Gu Yuancheng thought that Mei Yan was here to dismiss him and give him ideas, but he didn't expect that he was here to block him at all.
"But," Mei Yan said, "You care about her so much, have you ever heard an anecdote about who she is good with?" ”
"What do you mean?"
Mei Yan saw Prime Minister Gu Cheng, who was strategizing on weekdays, and when he encountered Shen Qingzhi today, he was like a fool with a lack of strings in his head, and he couldn't help but despise him in his heart.
"Why did you decide that she liked Princess Yuhe?" Mei Yan didn't answer his question immediately, but asked him out loud, "It can't be that she told you personally, right?" ”
Gu Yuancheng averted his gaze, was silent for a moment, and said in an angry tone, "She loves money the most, in Jiangnan, she actually spent a lot of money to buy the firefly moon powder in Baixiang Building and give it to Cen Yuhe!" Isn't that obvious enough, you say? ”
"Does she really love money?" Mei Yan held back a smile and raised her eyebrows to look at him.
Gu Yuancheng hugged the wine jar and did not speak.
Seeing this, Mei Yan shook her head with amusement, "Yuancheng, Yuancheng, I just lied to you, saying that she has been a man for ten years, and when she likes women, do you really believe it?" ......, who was specially dressed up so flamboyantly, paused, and Mei Yan approached Gu Yuancheng, "Don't you hate yourself the most?" Why are you willing to do anything for her? ”
"You lied to me?" Gu Yuancheng stared at Mei Yan with wide eyes, shocked and angry, and stood up with a bang, "You actually lied to me?" Why are you lying to me? If you hadn't lied to me, I'd ......."
"You're all? What are you? Mei Yan leaned on the pillar behind her, squinted her eyes and waited to see a joke, "Shen Qingzhi obediently stayed in the firewood room, and let her mother-in-law take her away, just to take the opportunity to leave, you are just thinking about finding her as soon as you woke up from your injury, and you simply fought with me yesterday, and you want to go to Mrs. to save her with her weak body and the medicinal properties of drugs in her body." Shen Qingzhi has only been gone for a long time, and you have been depressed for a night, if she would not appear in the palace today, or His Majesty would personally invite you, you would not have left the mansion, right? ”
Gu Yuancheng hugged the wine jar tightly, lowered his head and did not speak.
"Although I coaxed you to play last night, I'm also worried about you, aren't I?" Mei Yan spread his hands: "You can't take revenge." ”
Gu Yuancheng glared at Mei Yan fiercely twice, and sat back down.
"Haven't you always disliked her? Why did you always persuade me to tell her yesterday......" Gu Yuancheng wanted to say those two words, but he felt unspeakable, "What are you going to do?" ”
Hearing Gu Yuancheng ask, Mei Yan shook his head and smiled, "What can I plan to do?" You're my best brother! Besides, I am free to come and go alone, so why do I need to think about it? It's just that I can't get used to the way you looked last night. "Look
"I don't believe it." Gu Yuancheng stared at Mei Yan's eyes, and said very simply, and for sure.
Mei Yan was choked and was silent for a while before saying, "You said that, but it broke my heart." ”
After speaking, he sat up straight, and said to Gu Yuancheng, "I am a person who hates her and hates Qinguo, and it is precisely because of this that I hope you can make a decision as soon as possible and recognize the reality." Yuancheng, procrastinating, twisting and pinching, it is not beneficial to you or her, you are not a person who does not hit the south wall and does not give up, she may not be like this, you may be able to protect her now, and when she is forced to take that step, there is really only bitter fruit to swallow between you. ”
"What do you mean......" Gu Yuancheng's expression tightened, and his eyes suddenly turned cold.
Mei Yanyou turned into a leisurely look, leaned back to the pillar behind her, squinted and smiled, "There should be a lot of people like Shen Qingzhi who will like her, right?" And if you have the courage to like her, if you don't have some background ability, do you think it's possible? The country of Qi is in the country of Qin, after all, it is beyond the reach of the whip. ”
"Humph!" Gu Yuancheng stood up and threw the wine jar in his arms to the ground, the wine splashed, dyeing his red clothes more and more vividly, he flicked his sleeves, and his face was proud, "How can they do it!" ”
Mei Yan was stunned by his momentum, and was stunned for a while before asking him suspiciously, "Yuancheng, you and Shen Qingzhi have been fighting each other for so many years, why did you suddenly like her when I came back today?" ”
Seriously, he really had a feeling of being caught off guard by Gu Yuancheng's sudden feelings, you know, in his heart, he always thought that Gu Yuancheng was burdened with such a heavy past, and he was so arrogant, it was impossible for him to like any girl, if he didn't have to, he wouldn't even say a word to someone who didn't matter.
But he actually fell in love with Shen Qingzhi!
In addition to being a little good-looking, a little smarter in her brain, a little more powerful in her means, a little stronger in martial arts, a little more prominent in her family background, and a little higher in official position, what else does she have? Does she have half the gentleness of wisdom? Or is there a cute and cute in Huizhong? She is simply a sinister and cunning person who can only wield knives and guns, and scheming power.
Gu Yuancheng glanced at Mei Yan and snorted, "Who said that I was suddenly happy with her." ”
Mei Yan was really stunned at this time, he sat up straight in shock, and pointed at him with a trembling hand, "Is it possible for you to ......"
Gu Yuancheng lowered his eyes slightly, and the light in his eyes flashed in a flash.
"Okay, I really deserve to be the prime minister of Qi State, I was actually tricked by you!" Mei Yan swallowed the depression in her heart and withdrew her hand, "Shen Qingzhi was designed by you to come to Qi Kingdom, right?" You know that there are too many obstacles in the Qi Kingdom, so you plan to make her fall in love with you here? And the reason why you always let me see you like you are dead and alive is to let me make a move, block Your Majesty, and prevent him from making a move on Shen Qingzhi? ”
Gu Yuancheng flicked his sleeves, his hand facing the exquisitely carved scenery in the Qixiang Courtyard, and his voice was dark and calm, "You only guessed half right, Qingzhi, she is not an ordinary woman, she has already guessed that I designed her to come to Qi Kingdom, and the reason why I am unhappy is really because of her." This is true of the Thousand Lights Festival, and so is the Lake Center Pavilion. ”
"Shen Qingzhi won't be stupid, knowing that it was you who designed the trap, he still came to Qi Country alone, right?" Although everything is logical, Mei Yan is completely convinced by the method, after all, all this is too ridiculous, whether it is Shen Qingzhi or him.
"She was forced by the situation to come." Gu Yuancheng condensed slightly, and the corners of his eyebrows and eyes were full of coldness, "Qi Guo who is in his heart, the prince who swears allegiance to the death, and his conscience that can't be abandoned...... She was always reluctant to give up these things, even if she died for them, she didn't care. ”
But he hated this kind of indifference.
Mei Yan looked at Gu Yuancheng's grim silhouette and took a deep breath of cool air.
"Maybe she's here for you, too?" After a while, Mei Yan adjusted his mood and laughed and joked again.
Gu Yuancheng's body stiffened for a moment, but when Mei Yan looked at it, he was just sneering at himself.
If she could really come to him half-pushed and half-pushed for him, why did he bother to design her so hard? In her heart, he may have always been the opponent who had to be eliminated.
Seeing that Gu Yuancheng didn't speak, Mei Yan could guess some of his pain in her heart, so she couldn't help but get up and pat him on the shoulder, "This time, you can use my hand to make friends with Qin Qi to suspend the tense relationship between you and her, but you should also understand that this is not a long-term solution, she has always been a member of Qin Kingdom." ”
"What if there is no more Qin country in the world?" Gu Yuancheng suddenly turned his head to look at him, his eyes were dark and boundless.
In the past, all his plans and calculations were for Li Dai's lifelong ambition, but I don't know when his purpose became no longer simple, and he also had something he wanted to hold on to in his dead heart.
He liked her, a long, long time ago, and he wanted to give her all the good things in the world, and use his sincerity to make up for all the scars she had suffered.
He and she had been through so much pain that it was time for them to rejoice.
