I stayed in prison for three days, and Gonggong Li finally came with the emperor's holy will, he first asked me to change into an inconspicuous eunuch uniform, and then took me all the way from the prison to the palace gate.

"Prime Minister, the emperor's decree asks you to secretly leave the prison and bring to justice the people behind the assassination of the six princesses." Gonggong Li whispered to me, "In case of change, anyone in your mansion has to stay in the mansion and can't leave, so ...... Adults must take extra care. ”

I listened to him quietly, not much surprised, nor angry.

"How is the injury of the sixth princess?"

Gonggong Li was stunned, but he didn't expect that the first thing I wanted to ask was this.

Could it be that this Lord Shen Xiang really took the initiative for the Sixth Prince?

Shaking his head secretly, he replied respectfully, "Doctor Yichunzi has already seen it, and the imperial doctors have also seen it, the sixth princess's injury is not serious, but she has lost too much blood, and it may take a few days to wake up." ”

I nodded reassuringly, "That's fine, then...... How is the prince now? ”

"Although the Forbidden Word Pavilion is a forbidden place, there should be everything, and His Highness will not have any problems in it."

"I hope so." I lowered my eyes, smiled noncommittally, and flicked my sleeves into the carriage.

Li Quanduo glanced at the carriage twice, didn't say anything, only stepped back and let the carriage go.

The night was deep, and the sky was as cold as water.

A month later, in front of the Duke of Qi and the Gong of Biancheng.

This is the third time I've come to Qi Kingdom, and it's ridiculous to say, almost every time I come here, I'm sneaky, and I've never been upright once.

But when I think about it, I'm like that, why shouldn't that person be?

It's just that...... I don't know what kind of scenery he should be like now after not seeing him for five years.

"Why don't you get out of the car when you're here?" A faint voice suddenly came in from outside the car, and I couldn't help but stiffen my whole body, and my mind flashed back in action.

Five years, just five years, am I really ready to see him again?

With a slight exhale, I lifted the curtain and walked out.

Gu Yuancheng has always liked delicate and luxurious things, but today he is plain, without a jade crown with intricate carvings, nor a beautifully embroidered costume, just dressed in white, and his long black hair is tied with an ink-colored hairband scattered in the breeze with the wind.

Except for the half of the peach blossom jade pendant around his waist.

The light in my eyes froze for a moment, and I quickly looked away.

"I haven't seen you for so long, don't you even want to say a word to me?" The white clothes moved slightly, and he walked in front of me in a few steps, "Qingzhi." ”

"I ......" I subconsciously spoke, and changed my words in an instant, "I came to you today because I have something important to talk about......"

"Let's have a cup of tea first, I told them to prepare it early." I didn't have time to finish speaking, but Gu Yuancheng seemed to have suddenly changed his mind and directly interrupted me.

I was stunned for a moment, and kept my mouth shut.

Gu Yuancheng turned around, said the word "please" lightly, and walked in first.

I looked at him blankly, and I always felt that time seemed to pass between us for thousands of years, and it seemed that there was not even a moment.

"Lord Shen Xiang, please." Seeing that I was still motionless, Chen Yi reminded me out loud.

My eyes flickered, and I followed.

Because I only came to visit in the name of a friend, I didn't alarm Grandpa Guo and Mrs. Guo, but I didn't expect that from the gate of Guogong's Mansion, Gu Yuancheng would take me all the way to his bedroom.

"What the hell do you want to do?" Seeing that he had closed the bedroom door, I couldn't pretend to be calm anymore, frowned, and began to question him in a low voice.

A cold light appeared in Gu Yuancheng's eyes, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he stared at me, but he didn't seem to be smiling.

I haven't seen him for five years, his aura has become stronger, and the petty temperament that he occasionally revealed in the past has now been perfectly hidden by him, and there is no trace of it.

"Green Branches." He chewed my name softly and approached me slowly, step by step.

I suddenly felt fear, and I couldn't help but take a step back.

Just this step, Gu Yuancheng lowered his eyes and smiled.

He stopped and looked up at me, "For more than five days and nights, I tried my best to restrain myself from looking for you, because you said you needed time, and I would give you time, but now we meet...... Are you going to give me such an answer? ”

With a stab in my heart, I looked away in a panic.

"Let's get down to business, Blood Alliance......"

"Mulberry!" Gu Yuancheng looked at me coldly, but he shouted loudly to the people outside the door.

"Young Master." Mu Ying immediately pushed open the door and walked in.

"For the past few days, you have been waiting for her here, and you are not allowed to leave half a step." As soon as Gu Yuancheng finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves and left.

"You can't trap me." As soon as I heard that he was clearly trying to imprison me, I immediately froze.

"You can go, the door is never locked." Gu Yuancheng sneered, didn't pause, and left.

Damn it!

I was so angry that I wanted to curse. Jiujiu Chinese

He's just threatening me!

"Childe......" Mu Ying saw that I was angry, and I didn't know what to say for a while.

"With someone like him, I don't understand why you're loyal to him?" I looked at Mu Ying, my face full of doubts, "Does he threaten you like this every day?" ”

Seeing that I wanted to get angry and endured it, Mu Ying suddenly laughed in a low voice.

"What are you laughing at?" I frowned.

"Childe still doesn't understand? The door of the Gongqin Mansion is always open, and the young master doesn't care who leaves and who stays, he only cares about where you go and stay. ”

I paused.

"The young master has been buried in official business for several years, and there is almost no time to rest, if everything is really done, he will look at the direction of the beggar courtyard in a daze, several times the young master has disappeared from the mansion, His Majesty sent someone to look for it, and he searched for more than a month before he saw the young master leading the horse and being embarrassed at the gate of the city."

Mu Ying looked at me as she spoke, but I had always been faint, as if she had not been touched at all, she felt helpless in her heart, but she felt a little bit interesting.

Every time the young master is in a daze, he also has this expression, faint, not sad, not empty, and not happy.

"Do you really like the young master?" Mu Ying couldn't help but ask.

I was stunned and didn't speak.

Mu Ying looked at me, and suddenly something flashed through her eyes, and she walked to the table and poured me a cup of tea.

"Meiyan...... What's going on? I hesitated, but finally decided to ask her.

Mu Ying handed the teacup to me, shook his head and said, "Mei Gongzi only appeared once at Princess Huizhong's funeral, and then he was never heard from, and even the young master couldn't find him." ”

I lowered my eyes slightly, and looked down at the two tea leaves floating in the cup in silence.

"Childe...... "Mu Ying looks at me" seems to have changed a lot. ”

I put the teacup on the table and sat down with it. Where has changed? ”

"I'm not talking much anymore." Mu Ying said: "I don't like to laugh anymore." ”

I want to meet for the first time in the past, in that situation, the son in front of me can still look good, and make up stories with her with laughter and laughter, but now that I have turned around, five years have passed, as if the red dust is long, and layer after layer of ambiguity has covered everything in the past.

Hearing her say that, I paused, reached out and took out half of the peach blossom jade that I had been cherishing from my sleeve.

I gently rubbed my fingers against the delicate lines on the peach blossom jade, but the light in my eyes dimmed.

"You're not the same as you used to be." I suddenly put away the jade pendant and raised my eyes to look at her, "You are more beautiful and ...... than before." Fearless. ”

I said the second half of the sentence inexplicably, but Mu Ying heard it clearly, she couldn't help but look at me twice, and then she was so smart that she chose not to say more.

I asked my servant to bring two books, and while reading them, I waited for Gu Yuancheng to appear in front of me again.

Now that the arrow is on the string, even if he deliberately delays, how long can he delay?

"Young master, the emperor sent someone to say that he wanted you to enter the palace now." Chen Yi came in and clenched his fists to Gu Yuancheng, who was in a trance.

It was finely fragmented, and it seemed that something was shattered inch by inch in Gu Yuancheng's eyes, and inch by inch was frozen.

She ...... Did you say you were looking for me? ”

Chen Yi wanted to say "yes", but he knew that such a despicable lie was undoubtedly a sarcasm for the young master.

"Nope."

Gu Yuancheng laughed in a low voice, got up and walked out of the study.

"She can always be so determined, so confident."

But why does she always shrink back and shrink in the face of feelings, as long as there is a little wind and grass, she will retreat to a height of several feet like a frightened bird.

He has been humbled like this, and even used such despicable means as confinement to keep her, but she seems to have only her country and her monarch in her eyes.

"Young master, it's time to go." Chen Yi reminded.

Gu Yuancheng paused, didn't say anything, and walked forward along the wooden corridor.

He and Chen Yi quickly left the mansion and got into the carriage, the wheels rolling, and went straight to the palace.

Emperor Qi summoned Gu Yuancheng in the dormitory, when he committed Gu poison again, he should have only lived for two years, but he still survived, but although his life continued, his body was already overwhelmed, and most of them were difficult to even walk on the ground.

The affairs of the court, so they were mostly represented by the prime minister.

"I heard that Shen Xiang of Qinguo has come to your mansion?" Emperor Qi coughed lightly twice, and sat up from the bed with the help of the eunuch.

Gu Yuancheng didn't hide it, and he couldn't hide it, "Yes, she arrived today." ”

"What did she come to you for?" Emperor Qi leaned weakly on the soft pillow behind him, looking at him with half-constricted eyes.

"It's for the Blood Alliance." Gu Yuancheng bowed his head and replied.

"Blood Alliance...... Ahem, ahem, ahem......" Emperor Qi's face suddenly turned a little paler because of the violent cough.

Gu Yuancheng looked at him like this, he was anxious, and wanted to pass on the imperial doctor, but he knew his temper, so he had no choice but to quickly pour a glass of water and hand it over.
