Before getting out of the car, the monk smiled and said softly: "Xiao Huan, if someone asks you, just say that my concubine Li Ji left you to listen to the piano and watch the dance, and I will say the same to King Lanling." ”

Gu Huan was still grateful in his heart when he heard him care about his dignity so much, so he nodded and said softly, "Thank you." ”

The monk stroked her face and whispered, "You are still young, and when you grow up, you will understand that many times, we like someone, and we don't need to speak up, go around, and make everyone known, that is very dangerous." ”

"I understand now." Gu Huan smiled slightly bitterly. "I'm willing to follow you, you don't have to comfort me, I'm fine."

He Shikai looked at her crystal face, full of childish but somewhat mature expression, and those eyes as bright as black gems, he couldn't help but lean over, kissed her cheek gently, and said softly in her ear: "There are some things that you won't understand now, but you won't understand later." ”

Gu Huan was a little puzzled, but didn't ask because the car had stopped.

He Shikai got out of the car first, then hugged her down, and said thoughtfully: "You go and rest, I'll talk to King Lanling." Between men and men, there are some things that can be said more thoroughly. You're a girl, don't listen to it. ”

"Hmm." Gu Huan did not hesitate, and immediately nodded in agreement.

He Shikai was older than her and Gao Su combined, and had been immersed in the court for nearly twenty years, and had experienced turmoil such as Gao Yan and Gao Zhan's joint seizure of the throne, so he was naturally much more experienced in dealing with these things than them. Gu Huan was the head of the group's strategic planning department in his previous life, but he was not very good at political leaning, and he was not very good at ancient officialdom, so it was better to let the monk Kai persuade Gao Su, I am afraid that it will be much more effective than her words.

She was really tired, and after entering the mansion, she broke up with the monk and asked the housekeeper to take him to Baiyunxuan, and she went straight back to the Green Yi Pavilion.

Qiu Yan and Chun Xi were as anxious as ants on a hot pot, waiting for restlessness, as soon as they saw her, they were surprised to greet her, and asked with concern: "Miss, how is it?" That guy didn't bother you, did he? ”

"Nope. He is a dignified prime minister, how can he trouble me with a small military attaché? Don't be around thinking about what to do. I'm tired, don't bother me, let me get some good sleep. Gu Huan drove the two out, changed into pajamas, and fell asleep.

It wasn't until twilight that she woke up.

This sleep was too comfortable, she felt much better, she turned over before she opened her eyes, stretched comfortably, and then frowned at the faint stinging pain in her body, so she was honest, lay flat on the bed, and slowly opened her eyes.

Gao Su leaned on the head of the bed, watching her every move, and her originally melancholy eyes gradually became a little happy.

Gu Huan immediately felt that there was someone around him, so he looked sideways.

There was no light in the room, and the light was dim, but Gao Su's pale and beautiful face seemed to glow by itself. Gu Huan saw the worry in his eyes very clearly, so he fumbled to hold his hand and asked softly, "It's so badly injured, it hurts, right?" ”

"It's fine." Gao Su said softly. "I've been wounded on the battlefield much worse than that, and this is nothing."

Gu Huan didn't dare to move, for fear of touching his injury, so he reproached slightly: "Why are you here?" It's time to lie down in the house and rest. It's raining outside again, one layer of autumn rain and one layer of cold, what should you do if you are going to suffer from the cold? ”

"I want to come and see you." Gao Su clenched her hand and said lightly. "It's only a few steps, how can it be so easy to get cold?"

Gu Huan naturally moved in and pulled the corner of the quilt: "Come and lie down." ”

She was dressed in a snow-white silk tunic with long black hair scattered on her pillow, and her expression was languid. After only two days, the sleek lines of the originally innocent girl became clear and distinct, and they were very attractive.

Looking at the person in front of him, Gao Su couldn't refuse her words, so he got up and took off his coat, and then lay down beside her.

He was covered in injuries, still in severe pain, he didn't want to move more, Gu Huan didn't dare to touch him, the two of them just lay side by side, listening to the sound of the rain outside, and felt very peaceful and comfortable.

After a long time, Gu Huan said calmly: "Changgong, you get married, don't disobey the emperor's will anymore." ”

Gao Su was silent for a while before he said sullenly: "I don't want to wronged you, I want to marry you as my princess." ”

Gu Huan sighed softly: "I understand your intentions. However, the situation is stronger than people, so why fight for a name? The future will be discussed later, but now you will agree. If you marry her, you can exchange for a long peaceful life, it is also worth it. ”

Gao Su was silent again, and after a long time, he asked, "You still insist on refusing to marry me?" ”

Gu Huan sighed lightly: "Changgong, my father will not agree to me to be a concubine for others, and my father-in-law will not be willing." ”

Gao Su smiled bitterly: "Sometimes I really want to be desperate, it's a big deal." ”

"That's not what I said." Gu Huan was very calm. "Changgong, we are too young now to have enough strength to contend with them, so we can only endure first. Let's stay up like this, I'm sure we'll always have a time to get ahead. Where there is life, there is hope. ”

Gao Su listened to her words, suddenly became excited, turned around suddenly, and then "sizzled" in pain, and fell on the bed again.

Gu Huan was startled, and hurriedly stood up and looked at him: "How are you?" Why do you do such a violent action? The wound will burst. ”

"I forgot I was hurt, it's okay." Gao Su said with a smile. "Huan'er, I just want to ask you one thing, if I become close to someone else, will you still be with me?"

Gu Huan looked at him and said with certainty, "Yes." Unless you let me go. ”

"It's impossible." Gao Su said it categorically. "I will never let you leave me."

Gu Huan hugged him carefully, buried his face in his neck socket, and said very lightly: "Don't worry, I won't leave." ”

"Okay." Gao Su put his arm around her waist and smiled reassuringly.

In the afternoon, He Shikai did not talk with him for a long time, and only said casually: "To be a man, we must first judge the situation and take action, but we must have a solid foundation and strong strength, otherwise, we will have to endure humiliation and burden." As a man, you must bear the burden of your family, friends and loved ones, and you can't ruin everything because of a moment of recklessness. It is a good deal to marry an inconsequential woman in exchange for a long period of peace. I really don't understand, why is the prince so stubborn? If the prince likes someone, how to arrange it is just a trivial matter. Is it the name that matters, or is it important for the two to be together for a long time? If you are gone, what is the point of those people and things you care about? ”

He said everything reasonably, and Gao Su was speechless.

He Shikai got up and took his leave.

He stayed for a short time, but the impact on Gao Su was not small. He thought about it seriously for a long time, and knew that he had to agree to marry in order to save his life and have a future with Gu Huan. Thinking about it, he couldn't help but struggle to get up, came to the place where Gu Huan lived, and stared at her for a long time, so that he could make up his mind. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, he will definitely grit his teeth and go on firmly.

The next day, he brought his injury into the palace, and sincerely admitted his mistake to Gao Zhan, saying that after the emperor's earnest teachings, he learned from the pain, and had already known his mistakes, and he would definitely change his past mistakes in the future.

Gao Zhanlongyan was happy, immediately praised him, and rewarded him with a lot of gold and silver, and then impulsively, he named him the history of Sizhou Thorn.

Gao Su hurriedly excused himself.

Sizhou is not big, but Yecheng is within the jurisdiction of Sizhou, this location is too important, once there is any trouble, it will endanger the safety of the imperial city, the responsibility is heavy, and under the emperor's nose, every move has to be cautious, Gao Su is willing to stay in Lanling County, that is much freer.

Gao Zhan couldn't help but say: "You are not only the prince, but also Shang Shuling, you should have shared my worries." The three famous generals of our country, Duan Shao guards the north and Hu Luguang guards the western frontier, you guard the imperial city for me, and I will hand over this country to the prince, and I will sit back and relax. ”

Gao Su had no choice but to receive the order of thanks.

Soon it was the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Zen ceremony went smoothly, in the magnificent palace, accompanied by the sound of bells and chimes, officials of all grades stood inside and outside the hall. The monk presided over the ceremony, read the edict of the Zen throne, and then invited the new nine-year-old emperor Gao Wei to ascend the throne.

Long live the crowd.

Gu Huan didn't see all this, she was just Gao Su's subordinate, and she was not qualified to enter the palace to participate in the grand ceremony, but this was exactly what she wanted. When the dignitaries over there groveled, she took Qiuyan and Chunxi to the street to hang out, bought a lot of novel toys, and was very happy.

Since some things have been decided, she doesn't plan to think about it anymore, she simply lets go of her heart and cherishes what she has at the moment, neither looking forward to the future nor complaining about the loss.

Soon, Gao Su went to Sizhou to take office, and Gu Huan naturally accompanied him.

Sizhou is very close to Yecheng, and the fast horse only needs more than an hour to arrive. Every two or three days, Li Ji, the concubine of Heshikai, would send a car to pick up Gu Huan, for various reasons, or she had a new piece of clothing, and asked her to help the staff and staff to see what kind of clothes were the best, or what new songs were rehearsed by the singing and dancing troupe in the house, and asked her to enjoy it. Gu Huan never shirked, and Gao Su naturally wouldn't ask.

As long as she goes, Gu Huan will always spend the night in Hefu, and the next morning when He Shikai wants to go to the court, she will first go to the other courtyard of King Lanling to make up for sleep, and then return to Sizhou.

The housekeeper in the courtyard watched Gao Su grow up and was very loyal to him. What kind of price did Gu Huan pay in order to save Gao Su's life, except for the two parties involved in He Shikai and Gu Huan, he was the only one who knew it, seeing that she was exhausted every time she came over, and she fell asleep when she returned to the Green Yi Pavilion, and her heart was moved and cherished, but she had no choice but to change her way to make some delicious and nourishing soup dishes, hoping that she could eat a few more bites.

Gu Huan's temperament gradually became calm, but the open-mindedness, humor and cuteness of the past still existed, which fascinated Gao Su and also made the monk happy.

The days passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the golden autumn leaves fell, and the white snowflakes fluttered one after another.

Winter is coming.
