Chapter 74: Duplicity

She asked directly and unabashedly.

Maybe I've had more contact with her, and Mu Liang has long been used to her shocking words. He pondered for a moment, then slowly turned around.

"The emperor's brother is Mingjun, and I swore to heaven before my father's death that I would only keep my duty in this life and guard this thousands of miles for him." Mu Liang said word by word, this was the first time he had answered Gu Jiuge's question so seriously.

Gu Jiuge felt that something in his heart slowly broke through the flesh and grew out, with some faint pain.

"The prince will go slowly, and the courtiers will not send it."

In the full room of clear light, Gu Jiu Ge said respectfully. This blessed body gave Mu Liang an inexplicable illusion, as if the relationship between the two had returned to its original appearance.

He didn't know what was wrong, so he said the truest thoughts in his heart, but Gu Jiuge's reaction was something he didn't expect.

He stood still in place, and Gu Jiuge also maintained a posture of blessing and saluting without moving, as if he was on a bar. After a long time, Mu Liang turned around and left, disappearing into the night.

The early summer wind still has a slight coolness, and it is indescribably comfortable on the face. Gu Jiuge finally raised her head, she walked to the window and stood for a moment, then reached out and closed the window, with a sense of determination, as if she wanted to isolate something from the door.

When he turned around, a tear fell down his white jade-like cheek and disappeared in an instant.

Gu Jiuge was lying on the bed, holding the bracelet given by Mu Liang in his arms.

People are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless.

She is a demon who crawled out of hell to ask for her life, and her fate in this life is revenge, and she wants to trample Xuan Lang under her feet. She came with a monstrous hatred, but she never expected to meet such a warm person.

She was destined to spend her life in hatred, torturing others and herself. She blindly wanted revenge, wanted to win over the strongest force, but she didn't think about his feelings. He had no intention of fighting for imperial power, and he had no intention of dominating the world, but Gu Jiuge tried his best to involve him in this struggle of hurting others and hurting himself because of his own selfish interests.

How selfish she is.

"That's it, I can avenge this revenge myself."

The moonlight outside the window was bright, and Gu Jiuge slowly closed his eyes.

On the courtyard wall of the Drinking Song Garden, two black shadows are like ghosts. It wasn't until the candlelight in Gu Jiuge's room gradually dimmed that he flew away.

"Master, why didn't you tell the eldest lady that you made the bracelet day and night? If she knew, she would be grateful to you. And you are in the palace today for her and the ninth princess to make trouble, if you don't talk about these things, wouldn't it be meaningless? ”

In the carriage, Nantian said boredly. During this time, Mu Liang spent most of his time locked himself in Qingfeng Pavilion, and it took him two days and two nights just to design the bracelet. In fact, there are many weapons suitable for women in Qingfeng Pavilion, but Mu Liang has to go to great lengths to make such a thing.

What made him even more incomprehensible was that Mu Liang actually didn't tell Gu Jiuge these things!

Mu Liang still closed his eyes tightly and ignored him.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Nan Tian became more and more bold, leaned closer to him, and said in a low voice: "Master, since you like the eldest lady, why don't you ask Your Majesty for marriage?" Your Majesty has been worried about your marriage for the past few years, and your subordinates have seen the eldest lady's appearance and temperament clear, backed by the Prime Minister's Mansion and the General's Mansion, and she is the only one in the world who can match you......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Mu Liang suddenly open his eyes, and a cold light shot in, and he hurriedly retreated and closed his mouth.

"I just want to know what kind of grudge she has with Xuan Lang."

After a long time, when Nantian thought he was asleep, Mu Liang suddenly spoke.

The corners of Nantian's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he thought angrily: "Then you are really great, in order to figure out the grievances between two strangers, you almost put yourself in!" Others may not know, but I have been with you for so many years. ”

"Clarity is duplicity." Nantian thought about it and said it out loud, the cold light was three points colder, and Nantian hurriedly closed his eyes and stopped talking.

Mu Liang looked out slightly, recalling the bits and pieces of his acquaintance with Gu Jiuge so far, from suspicion and vigilance to now involuntarily protecting each other everywhere, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"It's probably duplicity." He thought so.

The next day, when Gu Jiuge woke up, it was already around the hour. During this period, Gu Shuyuan came to see her before going to the court, and felt sorry for her being humiliated by Xuan Jing like that yesterday, so he didn't wake her up.

Gu Jiuge opened her eyes, and a sloppy thing in her arms reminded her that everything last night had really happened. She stared at the bracelet for a moment, then smiled and carefully slipped it on her hand.

"Miss, you're finally awake." Hua Chun walked in with a yawn, and saw Gu Jiuge shouting with a smile.

Looking at her little face, Gu Jiuge's mood also improved.

"Clean up, let's go to the yard of the second sister." Gu Jiuge turned over, picked out a slightly more colorful dress and put it on, looked at the two girls and whispered.

In the Penglai courtyard, Gu Qinglai was sitting in the house bored. She likes to hold her makeup when she has nothing to do, and she is happy when she looks at the jewelry hairpin ring inside.

"Although these things are beautiful, they still need people to set them off. Miss, what do you think of these pearl earrings? Mingyue picked out a pair of pearl earrings and compared them on her ears, and asked very flatteringly.

Hearing her say this, Gu Qinglai's heart became happier and happier.

"Miss! Please allow the slave to let me know! The voice of the little maid hurriedly blocking came from outside the door, Gu Qinglai's heart was stunned, and her brows furrowed tightly.

"Fuck off! What is it, which courtyard can you stop our young lady from entering and leaving the Prime Minister's Mansion? I think you've forgotten the distinction between the superior and the inferior! "Huachun is also a pungent person, plus Gu Jiuge's explanation before she came, she deliberately turned her voice to the maximum, as if she was afraid that Gu Qinglai in the house would not be able to hear it.

Gu Qinglai's ears hurt from her sentence of condescension, and he gritted his teeth in anger. Since Gu Jiuge's temperament changed greatly when he fell into the water, he had never come to her Penglai Courtyard, and he ran over early this morning, and he must have no good intentions.

Thinking of this, Gu Qinglai hurriedly greeted him, but as soon as he turned around, he didn't take two steps before he saw Gu Jiu Ge striding in.

Gu Jiuge's gaze swept silently on Gu Qinglai's dresser, and then quickly fell on Gu Qinglai's face.

"Big sister came here early in the morning, what's the matter?" Gu Qinglai looked at her and asked with a chuckle, but there was more mockery in that smile.

"If you have nothing to do, just come out for a walk." Gu Jiu Ge said lightly, then walked past Gu Qinglai to her dresser and sat down, reaching out to play with the jewelry inside.

She had a proud look on her face, and she looked high, which was completely different from the past.

"Second sister, these jewelry are so beautiful, sister, I like it very much, why don't you give it to me." Gu Jiuge suddenly looked up at Gu Qinglai and said with a smile, and without waiting for Gu Qinglai to react, he handed all the boxes of jewelry to Hua Chun.

Gu Qinglai, who was standing on the side, was stunned fiercely when he saw this, and when he came back to his senses, his face was already full of anger.

"Gu Jiuge, you're crazy! You're robbing openly, you know? Haven't you always been the most loved by your father? Since you like jewelry so much, wouldn't it be nice to just ask your dad to buy it for you? Why did you come and rob me! Gu Qinglai roared angrily, and after speaking, he pounced on it and snatched back the box in Huachun's hand.

Seeing her rushing over, Hua Chun hurriedly dodged, Gu Qinglai pounced, and became more and more annoyed in his heart.

"Gu Jiuge! What exactly do you want to do? ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiuge just glanced at her with a smile on his eyebrows, and then looked carefully in her room.

"Painting spring, I like this pair of eight-open glass screens, take it back. There is also this beauty vase, the calligraphy and painting is the handwriting of a famous artist, and I will take it away. Gu Jiuge walked back and forth in the room, and if he saw something, he directly asked Huachun to get started.

Gu Qinglai was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Gu Jiuge, you slut! Now that your father loves you, it's getting worse and worse, isn't it! These are all things in my room, and you dare to grab them! Gu Qinglai helped Mingyue gasp for breath, as if he would pass out directly in the next second.

When Gu Jiuge heard this, a smile bloomed on his face, and he looked at her and said provocatively: "But I like it, what can you do with me?" ”

Gu Qinglai hated her so much, and now she was so nakedly provoked, the anger in her heart couldn't be hidden, and she gritted her teeth and pounced.

Seeing this, Hua Chun hurriedly put down the things in his hand and went up to protect Gu Jiuge.

"Gu Qinglai, don't forget, I am the eldest lady from the Prime Minister's Mansion, and I can keep the things in this mansion as long as I like them."

Gu Jiuge was afraid that she would not be angry enough, so he said more and more.

Gu Qinglai was so angry that he yelled, and he couldn't wait to pounce on it now and tear Gu Jiuge apart!

"Draw Spring! Take all of these things with you! The corners of Gu Jiuge's mouth were slightly hooked, and he raised his voice and said.

Gu Qinglai was so angry that he had already lost his mind at this time, how could he bear it, pushed Mingyue away, and pounced on him to fight with Gu Jiuge. Seeing this, several maids also hurriedly joined in, each protecting their respective masters.

At this moment, the Jiang family hurriedly came when they got the news and saw that Gu Qinglai was beaten by Gu Jiuge and was disheveled. Of course, Gu Jiuge was not much better, and there was a faint slap mark on his face.

"Are you all dead? Just let them mess around! Jiang Shi rushed forward and hugged Gu Qinglai into his arms, and then looked at the slave and maid in the courtyard and roared angrily.

Pity Gu Qinglai, although there are no scars on her face, but looking at her painful face, you know that she must have suffered too.
