Chapter 43 Cooperation
He didn't sleep all night, he didn't rest during the day, Guan Duyuan didn't feel tired, and when he knew that Jiang Li was secretly investigating Shu He's true identity, a strong murderous intent rose from an instant, wrapping him tightly. Seeing that the state was not good, Jingyu kept persuading him to calm down, but he couldn't calm down in the matter of Shuhe.
When it was decided, let the Assassin go when he recovered from his injuries, so as to find out more secrets or bigger people.
The assassin was also a coward, he could deceive him into poison by feeding him a pill at will, threatening that if he dared to expose it, he would not be able to get the antidote.
Shu He, who was in the haze, was woken up by He Huan, she didn't sleep well this time, but she slept for a long time. She had a lot of dreams in a daze, and she also mixed a lot of actual things in her dreams, so she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a fact.
She slept badly, her whole body was weak, and her body was sore, as if she had fought with someone.
He muttered to himself, "How do I feel like I've been asleep for a long time, and I want to wake up but I can't." ”
He Huan on the side smiled and said, "Madam, it's not that you feel like you've slept for a long time, it's that you really slept for a long time." ”
She quickly got up and asked in a panic, "Then how long have I been sleeping?" What time is it? ”
He Huan slowly changed her clothes, "Now, it's time for dinner, waiting for you to eat!" ”
He panicked: "After sleeping for so long, you didn't come to call me?" ”
At this time, it was almost cleaned up, "It's not that I didn't come to call you, but the general had already ordered you not to disturb you, saying that you haven't slept all night, you must be tired, let you have a good rest." ”
What she said was true, the general really ordered that, Shu He didn't say anything after hearing it, and a warm thing wandered in his heart.
Shu He's voice when he went out was very soft, and Guan Duyuan, who was waiting for her to eat, was in a daze at this time, and didn't notice the person who came slowly behind him. Looking at him like that, his heart is heavy, and just by looking at his back, you can tell that he is tired.
Couldn't help but feel distressed, she gently sat down opposite him, his brows were tightly locked, his face was tired, and he was worried. When he saw the person sitting across from him, he hurriedly covered it up and changed his appearance.
Before he could speak, she looked at him and smiled, all without saying a word. The best tacit understanding between two people is that you don't have to say anything, but I understand everything! Not getting tired is the best state, I understand your helplessness, what an honor it is to meet such a person in my life!
The two parted after the dinner with affection, he had too many important things to deal with, and he couldn't afford to spend the moon now.
When she had nothing to do, she actually wanted to learn embroidery from Wu's mother, which frightened He Huan, and thought that Mrs. had a high fever in her brain.
In the past, she was most ashamed of this kind of woman's work, in her words, "It's a waste of life, and she is idle", but now she has to learn embroidery, which makes Wu's mother and He Huan shocked.
She followed the study with a good look, and she studied very seriously, but she was never a female celebrity, she couldn't even hold a needle well, and she pierced her fingers full of sieve eyes, she still didn't want to give up.
In order to embroider a belt for Guan Duyuan, she also fought hard. In the end, Wu's mother couldn't stand it anymore, so she persuaded her to rest and sew it for her by herself, she still insisted on doing it herself, tossing until midnight, and the belt barely had a shape, if He Huan didn't know that she was embroidering a belt, otherwise she really wouldn't recognize what she was embroidering.
Looking at her surprisingly ugly finished product, a crooked and silly strip of cloth, she felt a strong sense of decadence. With the comfort of decadence and Wu's mother, he fell asleep under He Huan's compulsion.
When Guan Duyuan learned Jiang Li's true intentions, he was furious and wanted to kill her, but she couldn't kill her when she was in the General's Mansion, and she still had an inseparable relationship with the General's Mansion. He was very distressed, things on one side had not progressed in the slightest, and now there were poisonous snakes in trouble, and he had been uneasy.
The last thought swirled in his mind, after dinner, he visited her at Jiang's place first, and it took a lot of time to coax Jiang Li to be happy, and after coaxing people to rest, he avoided all the eyes and ears and went to Chang's room.
That Chang Wan has not seen Guan Duyuan since she was grounded, and she is a husband and wife, so she naturally misses him. Last time, Jingyu specially sent her the special lotus cake from her hometown, and she also kept it firmly in her heart, so when she saw Guan Duyuan, she was a mixture of joy and sorrow, and her emotions were a little out of control.
"General, how did you come? The concubine ...... was so excited that she began to choke before she finished a sentence.
In the end, she is still a woman, she is used as a chess piece, if you don't want it, you don't want it, no matter how you fly and dominate, now she is also a helpless and weak woman, a woman who needs to be protected, he can't help but feel a little pity.
Stretched out his hand and stopped her on her shoulder, who had been crying for a long time, "The shoulder lends you to lean."
After a long time, she walked away from his shoulder, tidied up her appearance, and slowly spoke, "General, please take a seat!"
Guan Duyuan sat down in the first place, Chang Wan knelt down in front of him respectfully, she now put her attitude very low, and her attitude was also very sincere, he couldn't bear her to keep kneeling like this, helped her up and sat down on the side. And opened Chang Wan's maid Peony and went to guard the door to prevent anyone from breaking in by mistake.
Chang Wan said: "General, the concubine knows that she is guilty, you don't have to treat me like this, everything is my own fault." ”
The general said with some comfort: "Chang Wan, don't mention the past, I came here tonight because I have something important to discuss with you." ”
Chang Wan said: "Yes, general, but whatever you command, I should do my best." ”
Guan Duyuan was silent for a long time in the first place, and did not speak, as if he was hesitant. Chang Wan was trembling on the side, she didn't know what the general was thinking, and she didn't know if she had behaved badly and made the general angry.
After a long time, he spoke: "Chang Wan, I came over tonight, I don't want to hide it anymore, so we will open the skylight and say something." ”
Chang Wan was shocked by Guan Duyuan's current appearance, she had a subtle premonition, it wasn't bad, but it must not be good. She couldn't help but readjust her breathing and readjust her mind, as if she had mustered up a lot of courage.
"Yes, General, you say!"
Guan Duyuan still adjusted his sitting posture and carefully organized his language in his heart before he slowly spoke, "Chang Wan, who are you, you know it in your own heart, and I know it." ”
When Chang Wan heard this, she was stunned in her seat in disbelief, shocked, ashamed, afraid, etc., and finally turned into unease. When he saw her like this, he gradually had a bottom in his heart.
He continued: "Don't worry, I won't embarrass you, as long as you listen to me. No matter who you do for or what purpose you have entered my General's Mansion, even if you are lying to me by marrying me, I can never blame the past, as long as you can listen to me from now on. ”
Chang Wan was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak, her breathing was so chaotic that she couldn't stop crying, she lied to him, but there was one thing that couldn't be completely said to be a deception, because she still had feelings for him now.
She choked up and said, "General, I was wrong, I lied to you, but I ......"
She couldn't say it after all, entering this general's mansion was originally a conspiracy, and now she said that she had feelings for him, isn't it ridiculous, if he said it, would he believe it, what was the use of saying it, forget it, it was wrong from the beginning, there should be no illusions, and there is no need to let him know.
She tried her best to curb her emotions and adjust her turn, "General, since you know everything, and when it comes to this, I won't defend it, what do you want to do, listen to it." ”
Hearing her words, Guan Duyuan was a little surprised, and said in his heart: "I didn't expect that she was still a strong character, I hadn't discovered her like this for a long time, and this change was so fast." ”
He said, "As I just said, as long as you listen to me, I can be blameless." ”
She suddenly asked, "What if I don't?" ”
Hearing this, Guan Duyuan looked at her quietly, and began to mutter, could it be that this strong character would not cooperate with him, he quickly hid all the emotions in his heart, kept quiet, and looked at her calmly, not letting her discover her thoughts, but carefully examined her face, hoping to find out any emotion.
"You're a smart woman, and I'm sure you'll make the right choice," he said. As far as you are concerned, staying in the General's Mansion, listening to me, and cooperating with me is the best choice. I can give you a life without food and clothing, I can protect you from worrying about your life, from prison, from exile, from being humiliated......"
She knew that what the general said was the truth, in her current situation, helpless, desperate, and worried about her life at any time, in this general's mansion, as long as she climbed to the general, she didn't have to live in fear. But what the general wants to do, he must figure it out, in case it is another fire pit.
She didn't dare to agree to him directly, so she still had to ask, "I don't know what the general wants me to do?" ”
The general said, "It's not difficult, you can do it." ”
She said: "I hope the general will make it clear that if I can't do it, I rashly agree to the general, and it will be irresponsible for the general and me." ”
Guan Duyuan thought that what she said was reasonable, and tonight was supposed to be a discussion, so it would be a good negotiation.
The general said: "You cooperate with me, continue to disguise your current identity, help me find out the Gu incident, and find out that person, this matter is very important, remember to keep it secret, I can only join forces with you." Also, I can also tell you that the Jiang family is the prince's person. ”
After Chang Wan was grounded, she carefully analyzed the origin of the incident and suspected Jiang Li, but when the general revealed her identity, she couldn't help but be shocked and angry, and a wave of hatred hit her heart.
Guan Duyuan thought to himself, "What I want is this reaction, to tell the Jiang family's identity, first, to gain trust, and to use this hatred to join forces smoothly, it is really killing two birds with one stone."
The general said: "Don't get excited, I will tell you her identity, and you must not reveal it, pretend not to know, remember to keep it secret, what I tell you tonight must be kept secret." ”
It took her a long time to calm her mind, new hatred and old hatred, entangled together, it seems that this general's mansion is really unusual.
Chang Wan couldn't help but say: "General, you are really unusual, one or two lurking by your side, you can also act as if nothing happened, I really admire." ”
I didn't expect her to have the heart to tease, so she had to borrow words to reply.
The general said lightly: "You are not ordinary, lurking beside me, and you dare to pretend." ”
In fact, they are all the same, they are all masters, pretending to be masters.
She is not stupid, she naturally knows the purpose of his coming over tonight, "I understand, the general wants to join forces with me to find out the person who is doing Gu, and this is exactly what I want to do." I'm afraid that the general is not so simple, is there anything else? ”
Since she has asked, then confess, Ben doesn't want to hide it.
He said: "As you said, you have to find out the small actions that Jiang Shi did behind her back, and everything she did and everyone she saw had to be investigated." ”
Chang Wan didn't quite understand, "General, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, if you want to investigate the Jiang family, the general has people, why are you looking for me?" ”
The general said, "Only women understand women, and only those who know her in this mansion and can get close to her can figure out her movements." So I want you and me to join forces, and it will be beneficial to you and me. ”
This reason convinced her that the general still loved his wife in the end.
She seemed a little unwilling, and asked, "General, let me take the liberty of asking, why do you pretend to dislike her when you care so much about your wife?" ”
Guan Duyuan looked at her for a long time, came back to her senses slightly, and smiled slightly, in fact, that smile had already told her the answer.
The general asked rhetorically: "Then I also ask, why do you pretend to love me very much when you entered my general's mansion for another purpose?" ”
She replied in her heart, "I didn't pretend, it's true." ”
She also looked at him quietly for a long time, shook her head lightly, squeezed out a smile, and the answer was all in the smile.
He asked, "Chang Wan, do you want to cooperate?" ”
She replied, "General, a word is a certainty!" ”
In the flickering candle lamp, the two hands clapped their hands for the sound and formed an alliance.
