Chapter 25: A Nightmare on a Moonlit Night (2)
Hearing him say this, Su Yi was full of joy, but thinking of the scene between the two of them yesterday, she was a little sour, and said sullenly, "But you accompanied her to visit the lanterns yesterday, and you ......"
Gu Yan Zhaojun frowned, thought for a moment, and said, "You were the one who came to the house to find me yesterday?" ”
Su Yi was silent, glared at him angrily, the corners of Gu Yanzhao's mouth rose, Su Yi was jealous, he should have been happy in this situation, but he couldn't laugh: "I really didn't know that you would leave the palace yesterday, otherwise I would definitely look for you, my father asked me to go to the criminal department to do something, and when I came back, I met her on the street, she wanted to buy a painting and give it away, so she asked me to accompany the selection, we really just met by chance." ”
Su Yi looked at him quietly, he was trying his best to explain, and he looked very anxious.
"I really don't have anything to do with her, you have to trust me. Su Yi, this position, apart from you, can no longer accommodate a second person. Gu Yanzhao grabbed Su Yi's hand and put it on his heart, and said firmly.
Su Yi stared at him, the man in front of him was the person he loved with all his heart, the soft moonlight gently sprinkled on him, his face was gentle like a piece of beautiful jade, such an excellent man really shouldn't be bound by himself, Shen Suyi, what can you give him? Even if you leave the palace, what can you give him? You are nothing, you have nothing, you have no illustrious family background, you have no peerless demeanor, you are the daughter of a criminal minister, how can you be worthy of him who has nothing?
Su Yi slowly withdrew her hand and whispered, "Actually, she's fine." ”
Gu Yanzhao was stunned for a moment, a little incredulous: "Su Yi? ”
"Jing Han ......"
"You don't have to work so hard for me......"
"Suyi!" Gu Yanzhao wanted to interrupt her, but he didn't understand what she wanted to say?
"I don't blame you for falling in love with someone else. I'm not a young lady of the Shen family now, I'm not the daughter of a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, or even a woman from an ordinary family, I'm a palace maid, a woman who wants to spend all her time in the palace. I can't be by your side all the time, and I can't see you every day, you are so outstanding, outstanding, there are so many good girls like you, if you meet the right ......"
The more Gu Yanzhao listened, the more ugly his face became, he finally understood what Su Yi wanted to say, and couldn't help but stop her: "Enough!" ”
Su Yi saw that his face changed suddenly, vaguely angry, and couldn't help but pause, but he still continued, "You are the imperial guard, you are deeply loved by the emperor, and your father is an important minister of the imperial court, you don't have to wait for me so hard, if you want, you can actually have a better ......" Su Yi's voice disappeared, because Gu Yanzhao made her unable to make a sound anymore, he kissed her, his lips were cold and soft, with some sweet and sour plum wine, Su Yi stared at him with wide eyes, his eyelashes were thick and fluttered gently like fan wings, Su Yi put her hands on her chest and wanted to push him away, but she couldn't exert her strength, and finally fell softly into his arms, suddenly there was a tingling pain in her lips, Gu Yanzhao let go of her, Su Yi looked at him, stunned, Gu Yanzhao said solemnly: "Don't say such things in the future!" ”
Su Yi pursed her lips, Gu Yanzhao saw the small red spot on her lips, his eyes became gentle, he stroked her lips with pity, and said gently: "Why do you say such things?" Why are you angry with me? Suyi, you can be angry with me, you can beat me, you can blame me, but you must not say anything to let me leave, I can't bear it. ”
Su Yi lowered her head, reached out and hugged him, with a crying voice in her voice: "I'm sorry......"
"The one who should say I'm sorry is me, it's my incompetence that made you suffer so much in the palace. Not anymore, I'll take you out of here, we'll go now! Gu Yanzhao grabbed Su Yi as he spoke, and made a gesture to leave.
Su Yi refused to leave, she said in a low voice, "I can't go with you." ”
"Suyi?" Gu Yanzhao was stunned.
Su Yi picked the corners of her lips and wanted to laugh, but she couldn't, "Do you know how much sin it takes to take the daughter of a criminal minister out of the palace?" I'm not a lonely and nameless palace maid, the emperor has seen me, if I leave with you, I don't know if he will send someone to track it down, but what if...... I can't let you take that kind of risk, let alone let your parents suffer that kind of harm, you are a celebrity in front of the emperor, you have great ambitions to show, if you go with me, you are nothing, your talent, your intelligence, will be buried, I don't want to be like that, not to mention that we are not two people, it is dozens of lives up and down the Gu family, we can't selfishly wander the world but let your parents bear our sins. Master Gu only has a son like you, I can't be so selfish. ”
Gu Yanzhao looked at her, her expression was sad but extremely firm, he knew that she would not go with him, but thinking of the scene just now, he couldn't help but tremble slightly, his face was full of pain, "But I really can't let you stay alone in the palace, just like that......"
He clenched his fists, "I'm really scared...... I'm so afraid I'm going to lose you......"
Su Yi reached out to cover his fist and gently broke his fingers one by one, but found that some blood oozed from his nails embedded in his palms because he was too hard, frowned, and took his hand and put it on his lips and kissed it gently, Gu Yanzhao trembled slightly, Su Yi stroked his hand to his cheek, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it was just an accident, he got drunk and put me ...... Think of me as an apricot, you know he's always loved apricots. ”
Gu Yanzhao raised his eyebrows, "Really? ”
Su Yi lowered her eyes and smiled, "Hmm." ”
Gu Yanzhao still couldn't believe it, but Su Yi's affirmation eased the dullness in his heart a little.
Su Yi buried her face in his arms, wrapped her arms around him, and whispered, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine, I'm fine." The palace is not as complicated as you think, tonight's events ......" Su Yi paused, but his hand involuntarily hugged him tighter, "It won't happen again in the future." ”
Gu Yanzhao hugged her, obviously feeling her trembling, she didn't want to let herself worry, but she was obviously afraid, Su Yi, how incompetent am I to let you suffer so much pain alone?
"Suyi, tell me ......"
"Huh?"
"If you feel scared, sad, or hard, you must tell me, don't carry everything by yourself, you have me, I will always guard you and accompany you."
"Hmm."
"You are a woman, you deserve to be cared for and loved, and if there is pain, I should bear it."
Su Yi chuckled softly and said, "I know, I've always known. ”
The silver-white moonlight gently sprinkled on the two people embracing each other, and in the noisy Shangyuan Festival, this garden was silent, as if isolated from the world.
After separating from Gu Yanzhao, Su Yi did not return to the residence, she thought of the words of the fifth elder brother when he left, he said that he would go to her, what should she do? She can't go back, but where can she go? The long night, so long and cold, Su Yi stood in the courtyard of the imperial dining room and couldn't help shivering.
"Suyi?" A voice came from behind him.
Su Yi looked back and saw Qin Han coming over, "Brother Qin." ”
"Why are you standing here?" Qin Han couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw her trembling.
"I ......" Su Yi hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"Let's go in first. After all, the inside of the house is warmer than the outside. ”
After Qin Han finished speaking, he walked into the imperial dining room, and Su Yi also walked in. The banquet has long been over, and the miscellaneous servants have already cleaned up the imperial dining room, leaving only a few palace maids and eunuchs on duty at night sitting at the table and napping, because there is a charcoal fire for cooking, so the room is warm, Qin Han led Su Yi into the inner room, only some simple tables and chairs were placed in the inner room, and there were a few cabinets used to hold relatively rare ingredients. Qin Han poured a cup of tea and handed it to Su Yi, and then poured another cup for himself.
"Are you standing in the courtyard because of the fifth elder brother?" Qin Han said slowly.
Su Yi was startled, the cup in her hand spilled some water, and she said, "How do you know?" ”
Qin Han took a cloth from the cabinet and wiped the water on the table, "Xing'er just came over and got a pot of wine, saying that the fifth elder brother is in your hut." ”
Su Yi sighed softly, took a sip of the tea but felt extremely bitter, frowned and put the cup on the table.
"What did she say?"
"Not really, but looking at the smile on her face, she should be very happy. Don't you go back for fear of disturbing them? Qin Han didn't pay much attention to Su Yi's actions, and he didn't think much about it.
"Hmm." Su Yi hooked her lips, feeling a lot more comfortable in her heart, with Apricot here, it should be fine, right? The person he has always loved is Xing'er, and he is just a drunken gaffe to himself, and he will be fine.
Qin Han suddenly got up and went out, and came in again after a while, but there were two more bowls of things in his hands.
Su Yi looked surprised, "This is?" ”
"Naturally, we have to eat Lantern Festival on the Shangyuan Festival." Qin Han smiled and placed a bowl in front of Su Yi.
Su Yi laughed and said, "I really didn't expect to have such a good mouth tonight." ”
Su Yi scooped a Lantern Festival with a spoon and took a bite, and the sweet and soft red beans immediately filled her mouth, and praised, "It's delicious!" ”
Qin Han also became happy when he saw Su Yi showing a happy smile, "If it's delicious, eat more." ”
Su Yi nodded, and the two looked at each other and smiled.
At that time, Su Yi would never have thought that a major event would happen at this party, which would be enough to change the fate of two people.
The spring is cold, the greenery is thick, and the cold goes to spring. In March, a major event happened in the imperial dining room, or it can be said to be a happy event, Xing'er was named Prince He's side Fujin, because Xing'er was humble, so he also deliberately let Shuntian Mansion Yin Cui Qizhe accept him as a righteous daughter, Su Yi didn't have time to say goodbye to Xing'er, Xing'er was taken out of the palace, Su Yi couldn't help but feel a little sad, she and Xing'er have known each other for five years, and entered the palace together, it can be said that there are difficulties, but now she is going to marry herself but she doesn't even have a blessing. Because of Xing'er's departure, Su Yi moved to live with several other palace maids, one of whom was named Qiu Ruo, with a steady temperament, one year older than Su Yi, and the two got along well.
