Chapter 43: The Long Way (2)
Sima Sanniang? Shen Li's expression paused slightly, she had heard this girl talk about it, she was the woman second only to Heyi in the younger generation under Gu Yun. He had been in Qingzhou before, and he was only sent to Lizhou a month ago to be the head of one party. But it's only been a long time, how did it come back again. Shen Li looked at Gu Yun beside her curiously, she just glanced at her casually, but her gaze suddenly froze.
The stunned look that flashed on Gu Yun's face was not wrong, it was not just an unexpected reaction, she was sure that there was a deeper meaning in it. It's just that Gu Yun covered it up quickly, but he reined in the gaffe just now in an instant. But it was precisely this that made Shen Li even more suspicious.
She withdrew her gaze as if nothing had happened, but her warm hand was a little cold. She was already a thoughtful person, and when she saw Gu Yun silent, she was even more uneasy in her heart. "Shizi, Changle outside is still waiting for your reply."
Gu Yun waved his hand towards Lily, "Let her settle first, and wait for my summons tomorrow." He turned around and looked at Shen Li, the moonlight like frost was spreading out behind him, and it was more and more lined like ink. It's a little cold outside, so it's easy to add another piece of clothing. ”
Shen Li looked up at him in a daze, and then smiled lightly. "It's okay, I'm fine, but Miss Sima rushed back overnight, maybe there is something important, or the prince should go and take a look." Gu Yun's mind was obviously affected by Lily's words just now, and Shen Li didn't want him to worry about it all night, so he simply pointed it out.
"Easy." Gu Yun's tone was slow, but it suffocated Shen Li's heart. "I arranged everything in Lizhou before, and it stands to reason that Sanniang should have no reason to come back. Just distracted, I was thinking about what went wrong, not for anything else. ”
Shen Li sighed and pulled Gu Yun's hand hanging on his side. "In that case, you should go and see it, so as not to delay anything important." Gu Yun also said that Shen Li had already pushed him to turn around. "The night is dark, go early and come back early."
Gu Yun walked to the bottom of the stairs, still turning around and telling her. "I'll be back soon."
"Okay, I'll wait for the son." Shen Li also responded with a smile.
Gu Yun turned around and went to the front yard, and only the sound of Wutong and Erxue frolicking and chasing was left in the moonlight.
Qing Xing took a thick cloak, came over to put it on Shen Li, and said worriedly: "Since the prince said goodbye tomorrow, why does the lady push the prince to the front yard." ”
Yinglan was also frowning on the side, obviously having a relationship at the same time.
The autumn breeze blew in from under the draperies hanging from the porch, carrying the smell of earth, moisture, dead leaves, and flowers.
Wutong meowed at her several times from the elevated shelf, and Shen Li turned around and smiled. I saw the little black guy stretching his limbs and flying towards her in the air.
Qing Xing exclaimed in surprise, and was about to step forward to block in front of Shen Li, but Shen Li raised his hand to stop him in place.
Bang, the little guy who gathered his claws flew into Shen Li's arms, and rubbed Shen Li's chin and cheeks affectionately with his fat head.
Soft and chubby body, with warm warmth, Shen Li gently touched its head, allowing it to take advantage of the situation to rub its head in her hand.
Qing Xing stroked her chest and walked over, "I scared the slave to death just now, and so did Madam, in such a high place, let it jump down like this, what if the claws are confiscated and hung up on you." ”
Shen Li wrapped the sycamore with his cloak, shook his head with a smile when he heard the words, and said, "No, the sycamore is very smart and will never hurt me." "I was afraid that I was unhappy, so I specially threw Erxue and flew over to comfort her.
The pet is so smart, but the master is so stupid.
Shen Li sighed silently at the starry night sky. In fact, it is also a matter of concern, otherwise how can the other party have an expression, and he will have to guess countless deep meanings.
"Yinglan went and took Erxue out and put it in the house." Shen Li withdrew his eyes looking at the night sky, tightened the sycamore in his arms, and turned back to the house.
Qingxing hurriedly picked up Er Xue, who was hiding in the wooden frame house, and followed them into the house.
In the study, the lights are bright at the moment,
Gu Yun sat behind the desk with a cold face, kneeling down with Sima Sanniang and Chang'an. Compared with Chang'an's pale and confused face, Sima Sanniang next to him seemed very calm. It's just that the red lips that are tightly pursed and the hands that are tightly clenched together show the tension in her heart.
"Get up, did you come all the way back just to kneel here and not make a sound?" Gu Yun said with a calm face,
Chang'an glanced up at Gu Yun with a guilty face, and saw that Sima Sanniang was still kneeling straight beside him, knowing that the other party had made up his mind, he was completely disappointed in his heart, and without waiting for Sima Sanniang to react, he kowtowed to Gu Yun and got up and stood next to Changle.
Sima Sanniang kowtowed to Gu Yun respectfully, glanced at Changle and Chang'an again, and said with a calm expression: "My subordinates have something to discuss with His Royal Highness the Prince in detail, I don't know if His Royal Highness the Prince can allow the two brothers Chang'an and Changle to avoid it first." ”
Gu Yun glanced at her deeply, and out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Chang'an, who was extremely ugly, and he sighed in his heart, and his face became a little colder. "No need, the two of them have been with me for years, and there is no need to hide them from them no matter what. Besides, you have grown up together since childhood, and the two of them can also help if there is a problem. ”
Sima Sanniang's face turned pale, her lips pursed stubbornly, and seeing Gu Yun sitting at the head of the case without saying a word, she knew that the other party would not change her mind. Things have come to this point, and she has already been ready to break the kettle anyway, so seeing that Gu Yun refused to let the two people next to her retreat, she simply ignored it anymore, and just said dignifiedly: "My subordinates, may I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, did my master ask His Highness the Prince for a promise before he died?" ”
Gu Yun's expression darkened completely, he looked at Chang'an, whose face was like ashes, his dark eyes swirled around the three people in the room, and then said, "Yes." ”
A smile appeared on Sima Sanniang's pale face, "Then if the subordinates want to ask the prince for this promise, I wonder if the prince is willing to give it?" ”
Chang An smiled bitterly, and then turned his head away and didn't look at Sima Sanniang's direction.
Changle glanced at him suspiciously, and then seemed to understand something from Sima Sanniang's face, and his face sank and lowered his head.
Although he has seen that Sima Sanniang is inappropriate, everyone has grown up together after all, and there is no one who knows more than him and Chang'an; Seeing Shizi's face at this moment, he naturally expected the ending of Sanniang's vain begging. For the sake of Quan Sanniang's face, he had to pretend not to pay attention to this matter anymore.
Gu Yun glanced at her lightly, "You say." The tone was detached and cold, and it had long since lost the warmth of the moment.
Sima Sanniang has been under Gu Yun for so many years, how can she not see the change in the other party's attitude, but she has no way out, if she doesn't do this, how can the resentment in her heart be calmed.
"The subordinates admire the heroic appearance of the prince, and are willing to invite themselves into the backyard to serve the prince and the princess in the backyard;"
Gu Yun closed his eyes slightly, and he didn't know whether he felt bitter or disappointed for a while; In their previous lives and in this life, they all tried their best to make a good deal for Sanniang, but the reincarnation of fate still came to this fork in the road.
"You've figured it out, Sanniang." Gu Yun rubbed his eyebrows, "There are some things that you won't regret if you open your mouth, but you still have to stick to what you just thought." ”
"Yes, the subordinates have already thought clearly. Anyway, half of the men in the world are like this, so it is better to simply follow the son of the world and serve the left and right. Anyway, I know that with the character of the son of the world, he will never be unkind to me. Gu Yun's gaze was flustered for a moment, but then Sanniang quickly calmed down. She knelt quietly in place, straightening her back and looking at Gu Yun.
"Do you still remember what I said when I left you alone before you went to Lizhou?"
"The subordinates are grateful to their hearts."
"If that's the case, why choose this path? Because Xu Yu was negative with you and chose another official woman, do you have to take revenge back? Gu Yun stood up and looked down coldly. Do you really think that if you sit in the position of the lady of the princess, you will have the capital for revenge? ”
Sanniang bit her lip tightly, looked at Gu Yun with tears in her eyes, and refused to answer his question.
"I won't do that at your request." Gu Yun said coldly,
"Shizi," Sanniang exclaimed, and took a few steps forward. "You promised my master, you can't go back."
"I did promise the chief manager that I would take care of you." Gu Yun didn't wait for her to continue, so he took over the conversation. "That's why I have your trip to Lizhou, and I will specially ask you before leaving. Not only that, in order to prevent you from having an accident in Lizhou, I will send most of the elites on the third floor to Lizhou to secretly protect you and help you succeed. Even at such a critical moment as Qingzhou, Chang'an is worried about you, so I asked him to make a special trip to Lizhou to guard. ”
"Sanniang, you ask yourself. After the death of the chief manager, the entire crane room, from Heyi down, who can compare to your specialness. In vain, I took care of you as a family member, but you reciprocated you like this. But as long as you have a heart for the Zhennan Palace, you should know how ridiculous your request just now is. Hefang tried his best to teach you to come out, did he let you admit defeat and fold directly when you were frustrated in love? ”
Gu Yun's dark eyes became extremely bright because of anger, and his face was even more ugly and scary, and Chang'an and Changle hurriedly knelt down at the same time. "The son of the world is angry."
"Go down." Gu Yun flicked the sleeves of his robe and spoke coldly. "Since you go to the second master to receive the punishment, if you can't understand the pimple in your heart, you should treat you as a person who has been raised by the crane house."
Sima Sanniang trembled and fell to her knees, choked so much that she couldn't say a word of justification. Her heart was full of embarrassment and remorse at this moment, but with infinite confusion,
Gu Yun walked to the door, "Chang'an, you also go to the second master to receive a fifty lash, if you can't sort out the things at hand in the future, you don't have to come to me to serve." ”
"Yes, my subordinates are guilty." Chang'an kowtowed bitterly,
Gu Yun didn't stop any longer, took down the wind lantern hanging on the side, and carried it back to the backyard.
The wind in the courtyard was howling more and more, and the night sky that had just been full of stars had become dark at some point, and the dead branches and fallen leaves were flying all over the sky, indicating that a heavy autumn rain was showing its bare signs.
Gu Yun's pace became more and more urgent, he remembered the look in his eyes that was easy just now, and a sense of uneasiness was rising from the depths of his heart.
The lanterns in the Wutong Courtyard gradually went out after the man returned. And the belated heavy rain also poured down in the dark night sky.
The heavy rain and strong winds hit the doors, windows, and roof tiles, making the people who were sleeping in nightmares frown even more.
"Madame, Madame, there's a letter from Yunzhou."
"How can this be, the owner of the village has always been physically strong, and he is a person who practices martial arts, how can he suddenly die of a sudden illness."
"That Sima Sanniang heard that he was the apprentice of the big butler beside the prince in the past, and he has always been valued by the prince and everyone in the Eastern Courtyard."
"No matter how favored she is, it's just a side lady, how dare she be so rude to her wife. The prince doesn't care, if it goes on like this, we Wutong Courtyard people can be bullied. ”
"Oh no, ma'am, the little boy just fell off while riding a horse in the outer courtyard, and fainted in pain on the spot, and he still hasn't woken up. Madame, go to the front yard and have a look. ”
"Mother, mother, mother, is it really what they said. Daddy didn't like us, only that Mrs. Sima. ”
Gu Yun's pace became more and more urgent, he remembered the look in his eyes that was easy just now, and a sense of uneasiness was rising from the depths of his heart.
The lanterns in the Wutong Courtyard gradually went out after the man returned. And the belated heavy rain also poured down in the dark night sky.

Rise.
The lanterns in the Wutong Courtyard gradually went out after the man returned. And the belated heavy rain also poured down in the dark night sky.
The heavy rain and strong winds hit the doors, windows, and roof tiles, making the people who were sleeping in nightmares frown even more.
