Gu Banqin sat on the stone steps outside the Taihe Palace, thinking back to everything that had happened before, Helian Hongyi's hypnotherapy had obviously failed, which had a lot to do with his attitude towards Helian Hongyin.

Helian Hongyi didn't want Helian Hongyin to disappear from the bottom of his heart, he deliberately stripped off a small part of his spiritual world, and independently shaped a Helian Hongyin, and he let Helian Hongyin live in his own spiritual world with the same attitude.

For this kind of autonomous schizophrenia, others cannot intervene, and if he himself does not want to, then no matter what kind of treatment he has, it will have no effect on him.

In other words, it is possible that Helian Hongyin has always existed in Helian Hongyi's spiritual world, because they have become an individual, an individual with two spirits and personalities.

Gu Banqin came out in a hurry, Liu Wu walked halfway and asked Nincao to go back and get a cloak for Gu Banqin, and at this time, he came over, put the cloak on Gu Banqin's back, squatted down and said to Gu Banqin:

"Niangniang, the emperor doesn't know when he will come back, should we ...... Shall we go back first? ”

Gu Banqin wrapped the cloak on his shoulders and shook his head in a daze: "No, I didn't see the emperor, I'm not worried." Wait, he'll be back. ”

Liu Fu pursed her lips and thought about it: "Why don't the slaves and maids go and inquire, where is the emperor?" ”

As he spoke, he was about to stand up, but was stopped by Gu Banqin: "Don't go, the emperor is angry now, if he finds you, he will probably be even more angry." Forget it, just wait here, I'm not sleepy anyway. You and Nincho go back first, if I wait for the emperor to come back, I will rest directly in the Taihe Palace. ”

If it was before, Gu Banqin came to Helian Hongyi so late, Helian Hongyi would definitely keep her in the Taihe Palace, but Gu Banqin was a little uncertain tonight, but the uncertainty in her heart did not tell Liu Yan.

Yanagi Wu hesitated for a moment and got up, then walked to Shinobu and sent Shinobu back, and Shinobu worriedly untied his cloak and handed it to Yanagi.

Leaving this time, Liu Wu took the cloak of the ninja grass and sat next to Gu Banqin again, put the cloak of the ninja grass on Gu Banqin's body, and sat down on the stone steps next to Gu Banqin:

"The slave and maid will accompany the mother and wait, and when the emperor comes back, the slave and maid will go back to Lihua Palace."

Liu Wu is smart and sensitive, and he also sensed that Gu Banqin and Helian Hongyi were wrong today, and made a thoughtful decision to protect Gu Banqin, which made Gu Banqin very moved.

The two leaned together and sat on the stone steps outside the Taihe Palace, and the imperial guards next to the stone steps changed shifts once, but Helian Hongyi still did not come back.

At the end of November, the weather was completely cold, the wind blew on the corridor, the catkins were blowing in the wind, and the eyes couldn't be opened, and I couldn't help but lean on Gu Banqin's shoulder and fell asleep.

Gu Banqin turned her head to look at the girl who insisted on accompanying her, and helplessly pulled the cloak on her shoulders onto the back of the catkins, while she herself waited more and more energetically, looking up at the thin clouds in the night sky, there were no stars, and she was worried about Helian Hongyi in her heart.

I was really afraid that Helian Hongyi would not be able to think about it, Gu Banqin blindly complained about herself in her heart, she may be too arrogant, and felt that with her own strength, she could rescue Helian Hongyi from the trapped spiritual world.

However, he didn't expect that the process of rescue was too dangerous, and he didn't take into account that the memories that trapped Helian Hongyi were too tragic, and he might not be willing to touch them on a sober spiritual level.

Sure enough, the experiment failed.

Helian Hongyi went berserk.

If the situation just now lasted for a while and a half, Gu Banqin might be a dead man by now.

Thinking of this, Gu Banqin couldn't help but shudder.

Zhang Cheng, the deputy commander of the imperial guard, looked to be in his forties, wearing soft armor guarding outside the Taihe Palace, he had changed shifts, and he had been paying attention to Concubine Xian Niangniang sitting on the stone steps for a long time.

In his impression, this virtuous concubine is the least likely to come to the Taihe Palace, and other concubines will come over every once in a while with things to ask the emperor for peace, but only the virtuous concubine Niangniang comes every time she is summoned by the emperor, and it is clear at a glance whether she is favored or not.

But tonight, no one knows what happened between Concubine Xian and the emperor, the emperor did not return to the Taihe Palace, but Concubine Xian waited outside the palace, couldn't help but step forward, walked to Gu Banqin and knelt on one knee, and said to Gu Banqin: "Niangniang, the night breeze is too cold, let's go back." ”

Gu Banqin shook her head gently: "I'll wait here for the emperor to come back." ”

Zhang Cheng looked at this young and vaguely childish woman, her eyes were brighter than the stars in the night sky, clear with unwavering determination, although she looked delicate, but only one look made Zhang Cheng understand that no matter what he said, Gu Banqin would continue to persevere.

Zhang Cheng sighed: "Otherwise, the minister will send someone to ask where the emperor is, and it would be good to send a message to the mother." ”

This is the most nosy thing that Zhang Cheng has done since he entered the palace as a royal guard, it is really a pity that such a thin little girl is waiting in the night wind, so she proposes like this, who knows, Gu Banqin did not appreciate it, and decisively refused:

"Don't bother Deputy Commander Zhang, I'll just wait here, Your Majesty...... Will be back. ”

The emperor will come back, this is Gu Banqin's belief in her heart at this moment.

And what she said about 'coming back' actually has two meanings, the first meaning is naturally to wait for Helian Hongyi to take the initiative to return to the Taihe Palace, and the second meaning is that Helian Hongyi was hypnotized by her today, and re-touched a memory that brought him a lot of harm, and now his heart should be closed again, Gu Banqin hopes that he will come out by himself.

After Zhang Cheng got Gu Banqin's affirmative answer, he didn't ask anymore.

Although he felt that Concubine Xian Niangniang was very pitiful to wait outside at a young age, he also had his own duty, since he had made a suggestion to Gu Banqin, Gu Banqin did not adopt it, then he could not be reluctant, and after saluting Gu Banqin, he returned to his post.

Gu Banqin glanced at the catkins who had fallen asleep on her shoulder, silently let out a breath of mist, then wrapped the cloak on the back of the two of them, and continued to wait on the stone steps.

The night was getting colder and colder, and the more Gu Banqin waited, the more he felt that Helian Hongyi would not come back tonight.

But she also has a breath in her heart, even if she makes Helian Hongyi recall bad memories, but her intentions are also good, she hopes that Helian Hongyi will have an untroubled spiritual world, so that he can better control himself, although it didn't succeed, but if he said it wrongly, he didn't necessarily have much wrong.

Helian Hongyi's murderous glance at Gu Banqin when he left Lihua Palace earlier scared Gu Banqin and made Gu Banqin feel very wronged.

Therefore, she chased it out, firstly because she was worried about Helian Hongyi, and secondly, she also wanted to make it clear to him, and she didn't want any misunderstanding between the two.

She had waited outside the Taihe Hall for so long, and Gu Banqin didn't believe that with Helian Hongyi's control over the harem, he wouldn't know the news.

But if he knew about it and didn't come back, he was still angry in his heart.

Gu Banqin didn't want to escape, he just wanted to stubbornly wait for Helian Hongyi to come back outside the Taihe Palace, so that the first thing he saw when he came back was her, but now the situation shows that he doesn't want to see Gu Banqin.

If he can calm down, after figuring out this, he will definitely have to go back, but Gu Banqin doesn't know why, he just doesn't want to go back, and wants to hold on to the inexplicable breath in his heart.

This is her attitude, and it is her attitude towards Helian Hongyi that she is not wrong.

The time of one night, not long, not short, especially at the end of November, the night when the cold wind howled, it was even more difficult, Gu Banqin waited and waited, and finally after the catkins woke up twice, they also closed their eyes and dozed off.

In her sleep, Gu Banqin also knew that she was not sleeping well, she always felt that she was floating on the sea, and she could vaguely hear the wind and small sounds around her in her ears.

Half-asleep and half-awake, the sky was pierced by the first light, and began to brighten up, on the corner corridor of the Taihe Palace, there was a rush of footsteps, almost instantly, Gu Banqin stood up from the stone steps like a spring, but because he had sat for too long, his legs cramped, and he bent down again.

After she finally kneaded her legs, the chaotic footsteps walked outside the gate of Taihe Palace.

Helian Hongyi walked expressionlessly in front of a dry eunuch palace maid, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Gu Banqin standing on the stone steps, looking at the cloak and state that slipped off her shoulders, where could she not see that she was waiting for him here all night, her eyes moved slightly, but she did not speak.

Gu Banqin kicked her legs twice in the air, and then showed a bright smile on her face to Helian Hongyi, pinched her legs and feet, walked up the stone steps, came to Helian Hongyi, and said with a smile as usual:

"The emperor has finally returned. The concubine waited here for a long time. ”

Helian Hongyi looked at Gu Banqin's smile, his eyes were deep and terrifying, and he still didn't speak, Gu Banqin didn't feel embarrassed, took the initiative to step forward, hugged Helian Hongyi's arm, and said in a slightly coquettish tone:

"The concubines are going to freeze, do you want to invite me to a cup of hot tea? Preferably ......"

But Gu Banqin's words were not all finished, and Helian Hongyi did not respond to her, and two palace maids came to the other end of the corridor, headed by the one in his twenties.

Gu Banqin knew her, she was the personal female official Red Sleeves next to Gu Nianshu of the Lanyue Palace, and the moment Gu Banqin saw the red sleeves, the hand holding Helian Hongyi's arm involuntarily loosened.

Red Sleeves took another palace maid and came to Helian Hongyi, and said politely:

"Your Majesty, your jade pendant has been forgotten in the Lanyue Palace, and the lady concubine asked the slave maid to send it over quickly."

As he spoke, he took over a piece of Panlong jade that Helian Hongyi wore on his waist all the year round from the hands of the palace maid behind him, Gu Banqin looked at the jade, where is there a reason not to recognize, when Helian Hongyi slept with her, this piece of jade was placed next to her pillow.

Helian Hongyi glanced at Gu Banqin out of the corner of his eyes, and saw that she finally put down the smile on her face, and her two big eyes seemed to be full of grievances in an instant, Helian Hongyi turned his gaze and asked Wang Shun's father-in-law to take the piece of jade, and walked into the Taihe Hall without looking back.
