Chapter 4: The Heart Knot

“…… This kid. Seeing Gu Ruobai like this, Su Mo couldn't help but laugh, "He wants you to send him back to the room, then my sister will take him in for one night, look at him, this must have been a night without sleep." ”

Without waiting for Su Nuo'er to refuse, Su Mo walked away with a funny face.

"Hey-" Su Nuo'er was helpless, so she had to shake Gu Ruobai awake, "Wake up, are you trying to crush me so hard?" ”

Gu Ruobai was shaken by her like this, almost unable to stand steadily, put her hands around her slender waist and said sleepily: "Don't mess with me, let me sleep for a while." ”

This man, who was still cold in front of him, looked like a little milk dog now? Su Nuo'er couldn't help but laugh, gently stretched out her hand to support him and said, "Then you can't stand here and sleep, you want to exhaust me." Hurry back to your room. ”

Since he was a child, Gu Ruobai grew up in the General's Mansion with Su Mo Su Nuo'er, and he is also very familiar with the General's Mansion, and followed Su Nuo'er all the way to the room where he lived before. "Here we are." Hearing Su Nuo'er say this, Gu Ruobai reluctantly opened his eyes, saw that it was his former yard, and frowned: "I don't live here." ”

"Don't live here? Didn't you all live here before? ”

"I'm going to Ruriin." Gu Ruobai's whole body was stuck to Su Nuo'er's body as if he had no bones, and there was a hint of grievance in his voice, "It's cold here, I'm afraid." ”

Su Nuo'er: ......

The two guards hidden in the darkness almost didn't fall from the tree, staring at each other with wide eyes, making eye contact. This, this, this pestering the eldest lady to sell cuteness is his master? …… I don't know, I'm probably hallucinating, I actually saw the master hugging the woman......

Well, we must be hallucinating......

Just when the two secret guards were shocked by Gu Ruobai, they suddenly heard their master's voice again: "I want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs you made, if I don't make them, I will hold you and not let go." Looking at Su Nuo'er cutely, she blinked and blinked, "Okay?" ”

Two Dark Guards: ...... A blow to the heart......

!! Su Nuoer said that she was hit by 10,000 critical hits, and it was shameful to use her beauty to sell cuteness! "Okay, okay, only this once, not as an example." …… Sadly, she couldn't refuse at all......

"Then let's go." Gu Ruobai suddenly straightened up, picked up Su Nuo'er, and flew to the Liuli Courtyard on tiptoe. could have walked, but he just flew directly to the door of her room with her, and before Su Nuo'er could stop her, Gu Ruobai had already carried her into the room and closed the door by the way.

"You ......" Su Nuo'er was annoyed, but she was thrown on the bed by Gu Ruobai all of a sudden, her little face wrinkled, damn it, what kind of madness is this?

"What are you doing here?" Su Nuo'er was annoyed and knelt on the bed and stared at him.

Gu Ruobai looked at her fixedly for a few seconds, took out a jade pendant from his arms, and looked at Su Nuo'er again: "What does this mean?" ”

Su Nuo'er's expression froze, and she looked away unnaturally: "This is not my thing, naturally it should be returned to its original owner." ”

"Su Nuo'er!" Gu Ruobai was suddenly annoyed, and pressed her shoulder before taking a few steps closer, forcing Su Nuo'er to look at him. "Tell me, it's your nonsense, I can forgive it."

"It's not nonsense. You said that if I like someone else, I just broke it, but I just saw that it was worth a lot and I couldn't bear to fall it, so I returned it to you. Su Nuo'er closed her eyes gently, for fear of seeing the pain in Gu Ruobai's eyes, and even more afraid that her tears would gush out as soon as she opened her eyes. If she hadn't recovered her memory and been reborn, and hadn't experienced those things in her previous life, she would definitely love him as this Su Nuo'er without any burden in her heart. Can...... In her previous life, she killed him with her own hands, hurting him so deeply for the sake of other men.

She still remembered his desperate eyes and painful words: "Noor, since you want my life, then take it." After you kill me, don't remember me again. ”

She hesitated, and for a moment, An Jiuchen didn't know when she appeared, snatched the sword in her hand and pierced Gu Ruobai's heart deeply.

The crimson stimulated her, so much so that in the middle of the night, she would often dream of this scene, and then wake up with tears on her face, falling into deep guilt, unable to extricate herself.

"Gu Ruobai, I can't bear to hurt you, so I have to let you go, and you will let me go, and don't meet again from now on." If he hadn't been connected, he wouldn't have been hurt by her again......

"You're really, so ruthless." Gu Ruobai gently closed his eyes, hiding too much emotion.

Su Nuo'er suddenly pushed him away, pretending to be calm: "Don't you want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs?" I'll make it for you, and in the future, there won't be any more of this dish. ”

Gu Ruobai grabbed her, threw her on the bed again, and then pressed her up. "Su Nuo'er, don't think about it, you don't want to leave my side in this life." Before she could resist, a pair of lips blocked all her protests, with a furious emotion, like a flash torrent, eroding and lingering.

Su Nuo'er gently closed her eyes, letting him vent her emotions, and a tear quietly rolled down from the corner of her eye.

For a long time, Su Nuo'er felt that she was about to lose her breath, so Gu Ruobai let her go. "Don't say anything like that again, I'll be angry, I'll be sad."

"When you're done venturing, let's get out of here." Su Nuo'er pushed Gu Ruobai away and sat up, unmoved by the pleading look on his face, and said coldly, "I don't want to see you again." ”

"Nuo'er......" Gu Ruobai felt a pain in his heart, and suddenly became a little flustered. This kind of Su Nuo'er is too strange, strange like another person he doesn't know at all. Gu Ruobai hugged Su Nuo'er and refused to let go. "No'er, I was wrong, don't let me go, okay? I know it's too impulsive to come to you today, but I can't help it, No'er, you don't know that I only saw the jade pendant that was put back last night and I knew that you had come, but I never thought that it would be like this. You know that I like you, love you, protect you, and I can't do without you. ”

Su Nuo'er wept silently in his arms: "If white, if I, not Su Nuo'er?" ”

Gu Ruobai let go of her when he heard this, obviously not knowing what she meant.

Su Nuo'er said bitterly: "If I say that I am not from here, the original Su Nuo'er died when she accidentally fell into the water when she was five years old, and I am just a wisp of soul from another world attached to her body and reborn through her body." Even in the first year after you left, the Su Nuo'er you loved had already died. ”

The reason why she told these secrets was not only to let Gu Ruobai leave her and prevent her from hurting him from now on, but also because she wanted to give herself a break.

She couldn't accept all the love and tenderness of Gu Ruobai as an impostor, even if she liked him. Gu Ruobai loved the owner of the original body, not her, Su Nuo'er. She can't hide the truth and selfishly possess Gu Ruobai like a thief. She has already greedily owned her grandfather and brother, even if it is for the owner of this body, she will take good care of them and protect them, but Gu Ruobai is different.

Gu Ruobai looked at Su Nuo'er in a daze, as if she hadn't recovered from what she said. The real Suno'er died twelve years ago?

"Now that you know the truth, there's no need to dwell on it anymore, and you don't have to waste time on me as an impostor." Su Nuo'er pretended to be relaxed and said, "But this secret must be kept secret for me, even grandpa and brother don't know, you have to hide it from them for me, otherwise I will be executed as a monster." Seeing the entangled and painful expression on Gu Ruobai's face, Su Nuo'er felt bitter in her heart, she should have known that this was the end, didn't she, the warmth and beauty she coveted were all stolen.

There was silence in the room.

I don't know how long it took, Gu Ruobai's throat moved slightly, and with the last trace of luck in his eyes, he asked, "What you said, but it's all true?" ”

"Absolutely." Su Nuo'er's eyes were sour, and she didn't want him to see it, so she simply turned her back. The next second, he was surrounded by a cloud of warmth. Gu Ruobai's deep voice sounded behind him.

"Noir, I don't know whether to regret or rejoice. It's a pity that the innocent and lovely sister Nuo'er has left this world a long time ago, but fortunately, it's I who fell in love with the current Su Nuo'er. ”

Su Nuo'er stiffened: "What did you say?" ”

"I said, I'm very glad that from beginning to end, what I like and love is you, and I have never been the same Su Nuo'er before. It's you now, Suno'er now. Gu Ruobai repeated seriously.

Su Nuo'er immediately turned around and looked at him, incredulous: "But when you gave Su Nuo'er a jade pendant and asked her to wait for you to marry her, she hadn't had an accident yet, and it wasn't me at that time." ”

Gu Ruobai smiled softly: "I was only six years old when I left the General's Mansion that year, where do I know what I like, but I know that I have to leave for a long time, and I often hear my stepmother say that Nuo'er will be taken care of when she grows up, so I will give her a token like an adult." Seeing that Su Nuo'er still didn't believe it, she continued, "At that time, I was taken to Tianxue Mountain by my stepmother, and I was trained to become the new pavilion master of the Forget Worry Pavilion. It wasn't until later that my father-in-law and mother-in-law were killed on the battlefield, and there was an accident in the General's Mansion, and I heard the news and rushed to find you, but you had an accident, and I was in a coma for half a month before I woke up, but after waking up, I avoided me in every way, refused to see me, and now I want to cut off relations with me, I thought that I did something wrong to make you dissatisfied, but I never thought that it was like this. ”

"I'm happy that when you grow up, you're always in trouble but always surprising, for Su Nuo'er before the age of four is like a sister, if she wants to wait for me, then I will marry her, and the nurturing grace of my father-in-law and mother makes me treat her as a sister and spoil her for a lifetime. But for Su Nuo'er after the age of four, that is, you, I like it from the bottom of my heart, and I am happy when I think of you as soon as I see you. I never thought that that cute and innocent little girl would grow up to be so naughty and headache, and I never thought that I would really like such a troublesome spirit, but I didn't want this Su Nuo'er to be the same Su Nuo'er. I thought that what I liked was that sister Noer, but now I know that what I like is you, it has always been you, and it has always been you. ”

Gu Ruo's white eyebrows were serious, and he gently dropped a kiss on Su Nuo'er's forehead. "No'er, no matter where you come from or who you were before you came here, I just need you to tell me that you like me too, and that you can stay by my side."

Su Nuo'er looked at Gu Ruobai quietly, and when she saw his eyes full of affection, her heart suddenly became a soft mess. took the initiative to reach out and hug him, buried his face in his arms and whispered: "Fortunately, I told you this secret today, otherwise, I would have been tortured to death by my own heart knot sooner or later." Then he sighed with satisfaction and said gratefully, "Ruobai, you don't know how happy I am now, I have always thought that I am a selfish thief, deceived your feelings and stole the happiness that originally belonged to the owner of this body, but it turns out that you are in love with me, Su Nuo'er...... That's nice. ”

At the end of the day, she's really lucky. Once crossed, she was an orphan and had the warmth of her family, although she was used in the end and died a tragic death, but she was reborn, and now she has untied the knot in her heart and regained the man she loved. How lucky she was.

Su Nuo'er kept nesting in Gu Ruobai's arms, motionless, so long that Gu Ruobai thought she was asleep, but suddenly felt a wetness in her chest.

"No'er, no matter what happens in the future, remember to tell me, never have the idea of giving up on me and leaving me again."

"Mm-hmm, never."

“…… Ahem! ”

When Gu Ruobai and Su Nuo'er were in love, a somewhat embarrassed voice suddenly interjected, "That, Brother Ruobai, Sister-in-law Nuo'er, am I disturbing you?" ”

Bai Ling'er covered her face with her hands, but her fingers opened wide to reveal a pair of playful eyes, looking at them.

…… Su Nuo'er was embarrassed and hurriedly let go of Gu Ruobai. Originally, it was a very unpleasant thing to be disturbed, but now Gu Ruo's white face was even darker when Su Nuo'er pushed him away, and he said unhappily: "You'd better have something serious." ”

"There's business, it's really business." Bai Ling'er was shocked, not daring to look at Gu Ruobai's face. cough, it's not her fault, usually she is used to going directly through the window into Su Nuo'er's room, how did she know that he was here today......

Bai Ling'er took out an envelope and threw it to Su Nuo'er: "Where, I have written down everything you want me to check, you look at it first, and then ask me if you don't know anything." After saying that, he fled directly through the window and left.

On the letterhead is the distribution of all the industries of Prime Minister Xia Zhuofeng in the imperial city, whether it is open or secret, it is clearly written. After reading it, Su Nuo'er smiled with satisfaction, "Great!" ”

"What is this?" Gu Ruobai glanced at it generally, "Are you checking Xia Zhuofeng?" ”

"Yes, the economic lifeline in this imperial city is very important, and most of it is in his hands when I checked it today, this old fox, he is not afraid to hold on to eating so much." Su Nuo'er nodded, not hiding it at all. "I want this effect, which is to suppress his secret forces, and then rob him of business openly!" She didn't forget that the death of her grandfather and brother in her previous life was because of this Xia Zhuofeng's frame-up, An Jiuchen ordered to behead the Su family, and she also obeyed Xia Zhuofeng's words, just because she was afraid that the Su family would know her tragic situation and take revenge, so she simply didn't do anything to let her grandfather and brother bear a reputation for treason, and directly ruined the general's mansion!

"You want to develop your own power in the Imperial City? That's not bad. Gu Ruobai agreed, "This Xia Zhuofeng is in a high position, and according to the intelligence of the Forgotten Worry Pavilion, this person is not as simple as he appears on the surface. ”

Su Nuo'er's eyes suddenly lit up, looking at Gu Ruobai's eyes like a puppy seeing a bone, he smiled and said: "Ruobai, if you don't say that I forgot, you are the pavilion master of the Forget Worry Pavilion, such a good identity, it's a pity not to use it." ”

Looking at her somewhat evil smile, Gu Ruobai somehow suddenly thought of those little foxes raised on the mountain. Eyelids jumped: "What are you going to do?" ”

"Hehe, come over here and I'll tell you."

Gu Ruobai glanced at her suspiciously and leaned over. "Say it."

After Su Nuo'er finished talking about her plan, Gu Ruobai's eyes changed when she looked at her, and she looked at her with some incredulity: "How did you come up with this?" ”

Su Nuo'er smiled slyly: "This is a secret!" Just say if you're willing to help me. ”

"Is this ......" Gu Ruobai pretended to ponder, and when he saw Su Nuo'er's face showing a nervous look, he suddenly smiled, hugged her in his arms, and said softly: "Forget the Worry Pavilion does not participate in mundane affairs, but I can as your man." ”

"Ruobai, thank you." Su Nuo'er hugged Gu Ruobai's waist with her backhand, and suddenly wanted to stop time at this moment, while the years were still stable, while all the ugly truths had not been revealed......

"With me, I will protect you for the rest of your life." Gu Ruobai noticed that her mood was a little low, but he didn't ask her. He also has something on his mind, and like her, he can only hold it in his heart.

There are so many things she said today, and although it is true, he has not fully accepted it. He wouldn't be curious about who Su Nuo'er was before she came here, he wouldn't be curious about how she got here, he was only worried that one day she would suddenly disappear and return to the world that originally belonged to her, and he would never find her again? As soon as he thought of this, Gu Ruobai felt faintly uneasy in his heart.

"Noir, don't leave me again." The arms holding her tightened, for fear that the person in her arms would disappear.

"Don't worry, I'm afraid that you will annoy me and drive me away, and I won't leave."

……

Night. Dawn.

Xu was Su Mo had already guessed that Gu Ruobai would go to Liuli Courtyard last night, and had already ordered the maids in the courtyard not to disturb, so that Su Nuo'er hadn't woken up until dawn.

There was a sudden noise in the house, as if there were many people making a loud noise, and the sound floated straight into the glass courtyard.

"Who is so noisy, it's so annoying early in the morning!" Su Nuo'er, who was woken up, got up with the quilt in her arms, and it happened that Nian Xia came in with a basin of water, and said with an anxious face: "Miss, get up quickly, someone is coming from the palace." ”

"In the palace?" Su Nuo'er frowned, "Is there something wrong?" Turning his head to look at the side, there were only traces of people sleeping, but Gu Ruobai was gone.

"There was a holy decree from the palace, saying that the southeast region had been flooded, and the little general was asked to control the water." Nian Xia replied.

Su Nuo'er was taken aback: "What did you say?" "Flooding in the southeast?!

Without waiting for Nian Xia to answer, Su Nuo'er ran out and went directly to her brother's yard.

Su Mo had just sent away his father-in-law who had come to deliver the holy decree, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, the holy decree in his hand was snatched away.

"Don't look at it, it's your brother and I who will go to control the water." Su Mo didn't care much, but he couldn't help but be surprised to see his sister care so much about his own brother for the first time. "Have you changed your mind? Come to me without sleeping lazy, know that you care about your brother? ”

The more she looked, Su Nuo'er's brows furrowed deeper.

No, she clearly remembered that the flood had not happened at this time in her previous life, so why did she advance it by three days now? Could it be that she remembered it wrong?

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Seeing her so distressed, Su Mo asked.

Su Nuo'er shook her head: "No, I don't know what to say, I always feel that the flood in the southeast region is not so simple." ”

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

I didn't say much about the holy decree, and soon Su Mo led the troops to the southeast region, and Su Nuo'er insisted on going with her, saying that she wanted to see the world, but Su Mo couldn't, so she followed.

The first place to be flooded this time is a village called Guzhu Village, the village is not large, but it is surrounded by fields, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is ten thousand hectares of fertile land. Su Mo led the men and horses to hurry day and night, and it took nearly four days to arrive.

As soon as he arrived in Guzhu Village, Su Mo directly led people to the flooded field, only to see that there was a big river on the edge of a field, and now although it was winter, the river was not frozen at all, nor did it dry up. According to the villagers, a sudden flood occurred in the river last night, flooding nearly 100 acres of fields, and another flood occurred in the early hours of this morning, flooding almost all the fields along the river. Now the river looks calm, but I don't know when it will be flooded again. The villagers were unable to do so, so they reported the matter to local officials, hoping that someone would come and help them clean up the water.

"Your Excellency, you must help us! This year's harvest is in this field, and it can't be called flooding! ”

"Yes, yes, otherwise what would we eat! This place is already poor, and if it is flooded, doesn't it cost people's lives! ”

"Please help us......"

…… The villagers who surrounded Su Mo for a while pinned their hopes on Su Mo, and they all knelt down and begged Su Mo with their heads.

"Folks, please get up, hurry up, the court sent me here to help you, folks, don't worry, there will be a way." Su Mo hurriedly helped them up and calmed their emotions.

At this time, Su Nuo'er, who had been wandering around the field, suddenly flew to the river, as if she had suddenly discovered something, and after a closer look, she suddenly exclaimed: "Brother! Come and see! ”

Su Mo heard the cry and hurriedly flew to her side and followed her fingers.

I saw that under the embankment made of stones, there were traces of loose stones, and water had slowly seeped out and flowed into the fields.

"The problem with the embankment?" Su Mo frowned, "Sister, do you see that stone has been chiseled?" ”

Su Nuo'er nodded: "Yes, and it is a trace of the recent." The flood is always at night or early in the morning, when no one is watching in the fields. If I'm not mistaken, someone must have deliberately chiseled these two stones, pried them open at night or when no one was around, and then pried them back into place before dawn, so as to create the illusion that there was a sudden flood in the river. ”

Su Nuo'er's guess was very reasonable, but Su Mo was puzzled: "It's just who did this?" And for what is the purpose of flooding the fields? ”

Seeing that the water was still leaking, Su Mo directly called someone to bring stones to firmly block the place, and sent someone to be on duty by the river embankment, and reported it immediately once the water leakage was found. Su Mo's precautionary orders were all over, and Su Nuo'er was still staring at that place and pondering.

The flood was reported three days in advance, and the so-called flood was a deliberate illusion, but who was that person? What is the purpose? It is said that now it would be good to reinforce the embankment and catch that person, but why, she just felt uneasy?

Su Nuo'er suddenly had a thrill: What if...... If the flood time in the previous life was wrong, and someone deliberately guided it like Guzhu Village, then ......
