I didn't see Lu Yao all day that day, and Gu Congyuan only got a summons, saying that Tongfu Firm had been doing silk business recently, and it was very busy, and it was unknown when Lu Yao would return.

His Royal Highness King Cong, who was idle in the mansion, had no choice but to wander around, and before he knew it, it was already the middle of the night.

"It turns out that the taste of no one is so difficult." Gu Congyuan opened a pair of eyes, and he didn't feel sleepy at all.

But the incense beside him stretched his waist, couldn't help yawning, and said: "Lord, when you didn't marry the princess in the early years, why didn't you feel lonely and lonely?" Now that the princess is just going out to run errands, she can't keep it alive and rest in the business or Lu's house today, why do you miss it like this? ”

He didn't say that Gu Congyuan really didn't realize that he had been babbling for so long.

Gu Congyuan was a little surprised, he glanced at the incense with horizontal eyes, and saw that the man yawned all over the place, but he was afraid that he would fall asleep on the spot if he walked any further, so he waved his hand and said: "That's it, you still have a task tomorrow, go back first, this king is walking around the palace alone." ”

The incense did not shirk, and immediately arched his hand and said: "Thank you prince, the night dew is heavy, and please rest soon." ”

Then he turned around and disappeared without a trace.

When the incense left, it suddenly seemed even more deserted, and there was no one around, only the red lanterns hanging in the palace were still exuding a warm light, and the moon in the sky was still radiating radiance......

Gu Congyuan looked up, and he couldn't help whispering: "I don't know if there is really reincarnation in this world, I just hope that Chang Shan and Wanshuang will not be killers in the next life." ”

Even though the world is not so difficult, there are still countless people who are fighting to survive.

Gu Cong is far from a high position, but he has climbed up from hell step by step, so he naturally has a deep understanding of these.

He paced aimlessly in the palace, he didn't like to hang out the most, if it weren't for Lu Yao who had to drag him out for a walk, even if it was the huge Cong Palace, he wouldn't bother to take a look.

But maybe it's because Ah Yuan is back, Gu Congyuan doesn't know why tonight, but he wants to take a good look at the palace where he has lived for many years......

Because if Ah Yuan really made this matter public to the world, then Gu Congyuan would never be able to set foot in this mansion again.

When he looked up again, he found that the plaque above his head had two words written on it—"Backyard".

I don't know if the half-brother is locked up here, and if there are any more moths today.

Gu Congyuan thought about it, not only did he feel worried, but he felt a little angry at that person's cowardly character, but if he was brave, the Cong Wangfu would not have been suppressed by the Prince's East Palace everywhere over the years.

Maybe at this hour, Ah Yuan, who was so lazy and lazy, had already fallen asleep, even if Gu Congyuan wanted to find some reason to go in and beat people again, it was a bit unrealistic.

So he turned around and went back to sleep.

The night when Lu Yao was away was too long......

Who knew that as soon as Gu Congyuan turned around, he was hugged by a person, and a familiar fragrance slid into his nose in an instant.

"Haruka?" Under the dim light, Gu Congyuan looked down at the woman who was tightly encircling him.

Lu Yao raised his head and smiled at him: "What, I didn't expect me to come back, right?" ”

"I didn't expect you, let alone you, to be here." Now Gu Congyuan's speech is sour, obviously he still cares about Ah Yuan's existence.

Lu Yao didn't hear it, but she still said patiently: "When I was looking for you just now, I happened to see the incense, and he said that you went this way, why, you came to the backyard to beat Ah Yuan?" ”

Gu Congyuan raised one side of his eyebrows: "You think of me like that?" ”

"Isn't it?" Lu Yao blinked his eyes.

Gu Cong narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "It's the same." ”

"Guess where I went after a busy day's work?" Lu Yao grabbed his arm, and the answer was already coming out, but she still looked at the other party expectantly.

Gu Cong was overjoyed when he saw her coming back, but his face was silent, and he said lightly: "It's just to go to the Chamber of Commerce to deal with those silk satins, who doesn't know?" Most of the Tongfu merchants are women, and they are either cosmetics or clothes on weekdays, and they can be guessed with their eyes closed. ”

When Lu Yao heard this, she was a little unconvinced from his mouth, she let go of the man's arm, pinched her waist and said angrily: "Please! What happened to the woman? I look at His Royal Highness King Cong's posture, is he looking down on women? ”

"I don't dare, I'm most afraid of my wife." Gu Congyuan pursed his lips, and he was rarely convinced.

It seems that compared to Lu Yao when she was angry, Gu Congyuan was still very easy to coax, as long as she raised her eyebrows a little, the person obediently lowered her eyebrows and was pleasing to the eyes.

Lu Yao likes this contrast very much, in front of people, Gu Congyuan is the resolute and domineering Second Royal Highness of King Cong, but in front of her, it is ...... There's a little bit of a bird's taste.

Very good.

"Don't underestimate women, at the beginning of the establishment of my business, it was with the help of the sisters that it was able to flourish day by day, and you don't know how strong a woman's purchasing power is, many business opportunities are mined from women, I have never seen a man who likes shopping so much~" Lu Yao glanced over, "You know." ”

"No treacherous business, no treacherous business." Gu Congyuan shook his head repeatedly, "If this king hadn't met you in the early years, he had developed the women's market earlier, maybe King Cong's mansion wouldn't have been so poor a few years ago." ”

Lu Yao crossed his arms and said: "It turns out that the prince is also afraid of poverty, when I met you, I thought you were not afraid of anything." ”

At that time, Gu Congyuan still had a bit of the childishness of a fearless teenager, and he came and went unhindered on the government and the opposition empty-handed.

At that time, the conditions of King Cong's Mansion were even more depressed than those in the Five Princes' Mansion, and then they slowly improved.

However, the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, and no matter how poor it is, there are more than a dozen subordinates in the house.

"Naturally, I am afraid, this king is much more fragile than the princess imagined." Gu Cong replied without changing his face and without a beating heart.

I don't know when, he was not as rigid in front of Lu Yao as he was at the beginning, and even began to expose his inner world little by little, which made Lu Yao very excited.

Finally conquered this tsundere prince......

It's really gratifying.

However, Lu Yao rushed back to the house in the middle of the night today, but it wasn't for this, she shook her head in front of people, snapped her fingers and said: "The prince didn't guess everything, I went out all day today, but not just to go to the business, guess where I went?" ”

"How can the king guess this book, don't sell it, say it quickly." Gu Congyuan pinched the man's face and said very affectionately.

Lu Yao smiled: "I met a subordinate, and she told me a secret. ”

At this time, in the dead of night, there was not even a patrol near the backyard of King Cong's mansion, and when the cool breeze blew, he was silent for a while, and he subconsciously had a bad premonition in his heart: "Yao'er...... What exactly did you do today? ”

"I've heard some truths, the truths you've always wanted to know." Lu Yao looked at his eyes fixedly and said word by word.

I don't know why, at this time, the clouds suddenly opened and the fog dispersed, and the moonlight was projected, Lu Yao's eyes instantly became extremely bright, and looking at Gu Congyuan motionlessly like this made him a little panicked.

The truth?

The truth of the Shadow Pavilion and the royal family, I'm afraid that even Gu Ji and Gu Huai brothers can't tell clearly, the grievances and grievances of the past have long become blurred, who can solve this old grudge after many years?

But Lu Yao said she untied it.

"This ......" Gu Congyuan's breathing was chaotic, he was stunned, and said, "Has Yao'er had dinner?" If you are hungry, how about the king ask someone to prepare some food for you? ”

"Don't change the subject." Lu Yao dragged the person who wanted to escape back, pressed his shoulder, and said, "Don't you want to know?" ”

It took a lot of effort for her to find a beauty like Yi Rong in the world, a beauty who could make Gu Huai fascinated.

If it weren't for the fact that there are no monsters in this world, it is estimated that Lu Yao would have thought that such a woman who has captivated the country and the city is afraid that she is incarnated by a fox.

For so long, she doesn't know how much effort she has spent, and she doesn't know how many times her life has hung by a thread.

Even many times, the Shadow Pavilion has discovered that there is someone behind the scenes......

Lu Yao looked at Gu Congyuan's eyes seriously, but he saw a little resistance and dodging from the bottom of his eyes.

The thin lip flap swooped for a while, and after a while, he gently opened his lips and said, "I...... I want to know, but Yao'er wants to tell me the ins and outs of the year so suddenly, this king is really ...... It's hard to accept for a while. ”

"How do you know that this news must be something you can't accept?" Lu Yao couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Before, she really thought that there was nothing in this world that he Gu Congyuan was afraid of.

As everyone knows, there are really a lot of things that can make him hesitate.

"Haruka...... I ......" Gu Congyuan's heart suddenly became a mess, and his voice was so nervous that his voice was hoarse, "You really, already know what happened back then?" ”

These are things that even he, the young pavilion master of the Shadow Pavilion, and His Royal Highness King Cong, who has been disguised by the tanuki for the crown prince for many years, have never known.

Does Lu Yao really have that kind of ability to reach the sky?

"This is natural, the beauty I sent has already told me all the truth she heard, and I also gave her a sum of silver taels, so that she can take her family away and fly away, and never set foot in the capital in this life." Lu Yao said indifferently, "What are you hesitating about?" Afraid of this? ”

"No......" Gu Congyuan still twisted it for the first time, "I just feel that you and I are standing here, all around are empty, very unsafe, it's too informal, why don't we go back and make a pot of tea and talk slowly?" ”

Lu Yao kissed him on the cheek, and said in a brisk tone: "Congratulations, you are the real His Royal Highness King Cong, the emperor's own second son, just like a fake." ”
