Chapter 11 Gu's Enlai
Shen Enlai felt that his strength seemed to have recovered somewhat, perhaps because of the rain. She raised her hand and slapped her already injured right cheek with all her might. 'Shen Enlai, calm down! She kept repeating in her mind.
Immediately, she reached out and groped around, her palm feeling the hard edges of the stone. She picked up the stone and struggled to her feet. There was no hairpin on her head, and the dagger she carried with her had been removed for the sake of practice, but this was the slightly raised stone she had found, and she had to try it anyway. Hurry up and go faster.
The rain fell on her body, her face. The familiar voice seemed to echo in her ears again.
"Enlai, run forward, don't look back."
The same rain, the same fear, the same powerlessness. She kept running, not daring to turn back, not daring to stop.
"Don't fight, if you continue to fight, you will die."
The noise was mixed with lightning and thunder, the figures were mottled, and the fire was shining, but Shen Enlai only felt that his heart kept falling, without a trace of warmth. She desperately needed to see Nan Huaiyun and make sure she was okay.
The figure is swaying, and there is a trace of leaving. Shen Enlai was a little anxious, she trembled and walked forward, and suddenly a huge force attacked her. The body that was already unstable was hit like this, and it fell directly to the ground. The clenched hard stone in his hand cut through his palm, far more sobering than the pain of a body beating. The whistling fist wind brushed over Shen Enlai's side face with a resolute coldness. A breath of heat exhaled in my ears.
"Gu Enlai, you want to take revenge on yourself, stay away from my sister." From the moment Nan Huaijin shouted out Gu Enlai, Shen Enlai's whole person was like being struck by lightning. He, knowing his identity, knew it from the beginning. Nan Huaijin is also related to that person?
Shen Enlai had countless questions in her mind, but at this moment, she had more important and reassuring things to ask.
"Nuan Nuan herβ"
"Shut up!" With Nan Huaijin's roar, he withdrew angrily and shook his hand away.
The rain fell on Shen Enlai's body, and the hustle and bustle slowly dispersed, Shen Enlai only felt that all his strength was drained, how long had he not heard it, Gu Enlai, these three words.
She is not surnamed Shen, she has always been Gu Enlai. The name taken by the elder brother, he said she was a gift of grace.
The Gu family in the capital, in addition to Gu Chusheng, there is also Gu Sheyu, Gu Enlai's brother. The best people in this world who are best to her prefer people not to live long, and often plague for thousands of years.
Spoiling a concubine and killing his wife has never been a bizarre story, but a thing that the Gu brothers and sisters have been accustomed to since childhood. However, what is different from the book is that the person who spoils is not Gu Enlai's father but her grandmother.
The concubine died early in childbirth, leaving behind a pair of twin siblings, and the grandmother took pity on the sisters and brothers for being lonely and taking them with them since childhood. Since then, the Gu family has gradually only had sisters and brothers, and there are no brothers and sisters.
As the eldest son of the Gu family, Gu Sheyu has had disabled legs and feet since he was a child, but this does not prevent Gu Enlai from respecting him. Her brother is the brightest and most dazzling teenager in the entire capital. Grandmother has her preference, Gu Sheyu also has it, and Gu Sheyu's preference is given to Gu Enlai.
"What other girls have, my family must also have, and what other girls don't have, my family must also have.
Gu Enlai has studied hard since she was a child, because she also wants to be the pride of her brother and try to hold up a world for him.
But this light only accompanied Gu Enlai for 14 years, and then disappeared into Gu Enlai's world. Before Gu Enlai grew up, the Gu family was involved in the case of the former prince's orphan. The son of the Gu family, who has never been forgotten, is ridiculously ridiculous at this moment, becoming the first person in the Gu family to die. On the day of the raid, it was the same thunderstorm as today.
"Enlai, run forward, don't stop, don't look back." The elder brother sat in a wheelchair and touched Gu Enlai's head as usual, but he said goodbye. He used his death to delay the chance of life for Gu Enlai.
This case involved a wide range of people, Dali Siqing copied more than a dozen, including a small number of princeling officials, and it was precisely because of this turmoil that the Three Princes' Party occupied the vacant seats in the court.
And she changed her surname, and from now on, there is no Gu family Enlai in the world, only Shen Jia's Enlai.
Shen Enlai stretched out his hand to wipe the rain off his face, there was blood on his hand, she didn't care, and wiped it on his face together. She let out a long sigh of relief and struggled to get up again.
Nan Huaijin was right, as early as the moment when the Gu family was destroyed, Shen Enlai should have understood that some roads could only be walked by himself. The warmth and light that you try to get will eventually lead to a bottomless abyss for others. Dali Siqing has not been punished yet, and the third prince is even more unworthy of being the emperor, she can't stop.
The rain that fell overhead suddenly disappeared, and Shen Enlai subconsciously raised her head, and an umbrella covered her. Nan Huaijin, who was holding an umbrella, stood opposite Shen Enlai, he put all the umbrellas on Shen Enlai's side, and most of his body was already submerged in the rain.
"Miss Shen, I'm sorry, I was too out of control because of Nuan Nuan, I-"
Before Nan Huaijin finished speaking, he was interrupted by Shen Enlai: "No, you're not wrong. It was I who involved Nuan Nuan in danger, and you were angry with me. β
"Nuan Nuan is fine, Gu Chusheng's animal hadn't done anything when we arrived. She's just a little frightened, she's worried about you. β
Hearing Nan Huaijin's words, Shen Enlai's hanging heart was put down. Shen Enlai stepped back, withdrew under the umbrella, and returned to the rain, she endured the pain and saluted Nan Huaijin.
"Gu Chusheng's bestial behavior, I will let him be sanctioned. Nan Gongzi should go back early, and I'll go by myself. β
Shen En turned around after speaking, and slowly moved forward in small steps. Nan Huaijin's voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"I won't tell anyone about your identity, and Nuan Nuan doesn't know."
The question that Shen Enlai has been avoiding is mentioned again by Nan Huaijin. Shen Enlai paused as he walked, and then continued to move forward, just opening his mouth as he walked.
"Thank you."
Nan Huaijin stood in place, looking at Shen Enlai's back, lonely and arrogant.
By the time Shen Enlai walked back to the school, it was already midnight. She walked into the room softly, afraid of waking Nan Huaiyun. However, as she opened the door, the oil lamp in the room also came on.
"Sister Shen, you're back." Nan Huaiyun's voice was a little hoarse, but it couldn't hide her worry.
Shen Enlai tried to pull out a smile and nodded at Nan Huaiyun.
"Nuan Nuan, I just rolled around on the ground, I'll go wash it first. You go to bed early. β
When Shen Enlai cleaned up and returned to the room again, as expected, he still saw Nan Huaiyun's wide eyes. Shen Enlai stepped forward and touched Nan Huaiyun's head.
"Why don't you sleep yet?"
"Sister Shen, does it still hurt?" Nan Huaiyun stretched out his hand and touched Shen Enlai's still red and swollen right cheek.
"It doesn't hurt, it's fine, the swelling will go down tomorrow." Shen Enlai pulled Nan Huaiyun's hand and put it into the quilt.
"Nuan Nuan, I'm sorry, it's because of me that I'm so involved in your life today."
"Sister Shen, don't say that, I, I didn't get hurt. Besides, I'm willing to save you. β
"Nuan Nuan, next time you encounter something like this, leave me alone."
This time, Nan Huaiyun didn't answer Shen Enlai, she just lowered her head. Shen Enlai sighed, "Sleep." β
The oil lamp was blown out and darkness returned.
"Sister Shen, my brother doesn't want me to report to the official. He said it was bad for my reputation. β
In the silence, Nan Huaiyun's voice sounded like a murmur. After a long while, even Nan Huaiyun thought that Shen Enlai had fallen asleep, so he sent back Shen Enlai's reply.
"What about you, what do you think?"
Nan Huaiyun did not speak.
"Nuan Nuan, no matter what you want to do, it doesn't matter if you report to the official, or calm down. I'll be with you.
If you want to report to the official, then I will accompany you to sue to the end, and call him Dali Siqing, the imperial power. The prefect can't cure him, so I will go to the auxiliary minister, cross the gate of heaven and ring the alarm bell, even if I tell the Son of Heaven, I will never stop there.
If you don't want to pursue this matter further, then let's settle the matter. But from now on, one day, as long as I worship the prime minister, I will definitely make Gu Chusheng pay the price he deserves.
I swear to heaven by this life. β
