Gu Qinghuan had a dream.

Very long, long dreams.

She dreamed of her past life and what happened after her death.

At that time, after she stabbed Si Xiuyuan to death, she bit the poison pill and committed suicide.

Si Xiuyuan, who only had one breath left, struggled to swing the teacup on the table to the ground.

However, it was not his guards who broke down the door, but ......

Red Luan.

Hongluan, who was supposed to be taken away by Gu Qinghuan and went to a far, far away place to live a peaceful life, appeared in this place of right and wrong and took Gu Qinghuan's body away.

The way out was not peaceful.

Gu Qinghuan watched Hongluan fight with the pursuers, and when she finally had some breathing room, Hongluan cremated her body, took her ashes, and bought a ship to go to sea.

Drifting all the way, Gu Qinghuan watched the sunrise and sunset many times, and Hongluan finally parked the boat on a small island.

On that island, there was a house that had been built a long time ago.

Hongluan buried her ashes in the yard, under a plum tree, and settled on the island.

Only then did Gu Qinghuan know that Hongluan had prepared a way out early.

One, their way out.

Unlike when she only thinks about the way back for Hongluan, what Hongluan thinks of is a peaceful life without quarrel with the world after they finish everything.

The sunrise and sunset on the island are beautiful, and the starry sky is even more beautiful than in the imperial capital.

Gu Qinghuan watched Hongluan live a peaceful life, and a sour feeling surged from his chest.

OK......

In another world, you live for yourself, as I expect.

Then, Gu Qinghuan woke up.

When he opened his eyes, what Gu Qinghuan saw was a white corner of his clothes.

The person who was about to leave seemed to notice something, suddenly paused, turned to look at Gu Qinghuan on the bed, and walked quickly to the side of the bed, without his usual indifferent demeanor.

He stared at Gu Qinghuan and looked at Gu Qinghuan for a long time before the strangeness on his face faded and he returned to his usual calmness.

"Awake?" He spoke.

Gu Qinghuan didn't speak, she felt that her body was very bad, tired and uncomfortable, her throat was dry and hoarse, and she couldn't speak.

How long was she in a coma?

As if seeing Gu Qinghuan's predicament, the man turned around and left the room.

The next moment, there was an exclamation outside the room, and then Zhiqiu rushed into the house, and when she saw Gu Qinghuan with her eyes open, tears fell like pearls with broken threads, and she couldn't cry: "Miss...... Thank God! You're awake! It's been a month...... You're scaring the slave to death! ”

"If you don't feed your young lady some water, eat something, and call the doctor, your young lady may really scare you to death later."

A faint voice sounded from behind.

Zhiqiu came back to her senses at this time, seeing Gu Qinghuan's weak appearance, knowing that she was excited and ignored Gu Qinghuan's bad situation, she hurriedly said: "Miss, the slave maid will pour water for you!" ”

As he spoke, Zhiqiu raised his voice: "Ah Xiu! Go get the doctor! Inform Shi Xia to prepare some porridge! ”

Although he was a little flustered at first, Zhiqiu quickly calmed down and served Gu Qinghuan.

After a while, Gu Qinghuan regained some strength, and Ning Xi also arrived at Xihuan Courtyard.

When Ning Xi saw the familiar figure at the door, he saluted and said, "Young Master Yan." ”

"Mr. Ning doesn't need to be polite."

Yan Zhao said: "Miss Gu has woken up. ”

Ning Xi heard what he said and understood something.

Yan Zhao was reminding him, don't be a false courtesy, hurry up and go to Gu Qinghuan for a diagnosis!

"I'll go check it out."

Ning Xi didn't break the young man's careful thoughts, and immediately entered Gu Qinghuan's house.

Gu Qinghuan saw that Ning Xi had arrived, nodded slightly, and greeted: "Mr. Ning." ”

Ning Xi saw Gu Qinghuan's thin and sunken little face, and said with some distress: "Miss Gu, you ......"

Saying that, Ning Xi took Gu Qinghuan's pulse.

He said: "You were tired and sad before, and you were greatly stimulated, and your qi and blood attacked your heart against the pulse, if it wasn't for your father leading the soldiers and horses to bring me into the palace, you would have been cured one step later." ”

Gu Qinghuan was able to wake up, which was already a great luck among the great luck.

Although I am a little weaker now, I am fortunate to be safe.

Ning Xi breathed a sigh of relief, called Zhiqiu again, and told Zhiqiu to write down the prescription to grab the medicine and replenish Gu Qinghuan's body.

"Also—"

Ning Xi said again: "Your legs, I have already connected them for you, you have been lying in bed for the whole month, fortunately, your maid has helped you massage every day, and the recovery is quite good, you have broken your muscles and bones for a hundred days, and you have to pay more attention to it in the next two months." ”

Gu Qinghuan just nodded and didn't speak.

When she woke up, she ate and drank a little to regain her spirits, but she was still very tired and drowsy.

Seeing this, Ning Xi asked Gu Qinghuan to sleep well and rest more.

Then, Ning Xi left.

Gu Qinghuan didn't fall asleep immediately, just stared at the door.

Yan Zhao walked in from outside, and it didn't seem to be surprised that Gu Qinghuan was awake and waiting for him.

"Hongluan ......" Gu Qinghuan made a start.

"The body has been found."

Yan Zhao took what Gu Qinghuan wanted to ask, "No one has tortured her, she left very peacefully." ”

Gu Qinghuan was silent.

"Your family has already buried her well, and when you are better, you can go and see her." Yan Zhao said again.

Gu Qinghuan let out a "hmm".

"As for the remnants of the Patriotic Prince......"

Speaking of this, Yan Zhao's tone was a little complicated, "The 'noble' that Zhiyue once mentioned in the hall, do you know the existence of that person?" ”

"I don't know who it is."

When Gu Qinghuan heard this, she cheered up a little, and she asked, "That person ran away?" ”

"No, that person was captured by us like the remnants of the Duke of Weiguo." Yan Zhao said.

Gu Qinghuan asked, "Who is he?" ”

Yan Zhao was silent for a while before he said, "The Sixth Prince." ”

"How is that possible!"

Gu Qinghuan was shocked, the sixth prince?!

That sick and weak Sixth Prince Si Xiulin?!

"How could he ......"

Gu Qinghuan couldn't believe it, but he felt that what Yan Zhao said was right.

Thinking of the previous life, the eldest prince Si Xiuze was killed by the second prince Si Xiuyuan, and the sixth prince Si Xiulin took over the power left by Si Xiuze under the banner of avenging his eldest brother, formed an alliance with Yan Zhao, and joined the battle for succession in name only......

On the surface, it seems that everything is fine.

But after thinking about it, it made Gu Qinghuan's heart chill.

"The Six Princes...... Why, exactly? Gu Qinghuan couldn't figure it out.

How did Si Xiulin, who had nothing, help the remnants of the Patriotic Prince?

"Si Xiulin's illness is all disguised, and the person who helped him is a doctor from the Tai Hospital, and he is also the remnant of the Duke of Weiguo."

Yan Zhao said: "The imperial doctor saw that the six princes were unwilling to be the foil of the big prince since he was a child, and he waited for the opportunity, so he pretended to be bribed by the six princes and cooperated with the actions of the six princes, but no one expected that when there was chaos in the palace, Wei Guogong failed to hand over the important list to his descendants, and did not even take the list out, but hid it somewhere in the palace......"

"The Six Princes found that list?" Gu Qinghuan didn't know how to describe his mood for a while.

If it weren't for her rebirth, the fate of the Six Princes would have been ......

God is helping him!

"Yes."

Yan Zhao nodded, "After the sixth prince inadvertently found the list, he knew that the imperial doctor who helped him was also the remnant of the Duke of Weiguo, so he used the weakness of the imperial doctor on the list to coerce and lure the imperial doctor, and took the imperial doctor for his own use, and then contacted other remaining fellow parties through the imperial doctor, and arranged this overall situation, I wanted to slowly get rid of the second prince and the eldest prince, but what I didn't expect was ......"

Yan Zhao looked at Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan knew what he meant.

The six princes and the remnants of the Duke of Weiguo, who had exhausted the organs, probably didn't expect that there would be such a variable as themselves, which disrupted their chances.

In addition, Duke Yu was too loyal to Duke Wei, so he couldn't hold back at the last moment, and in order to leave with Wei Ziyue's bones, he did not hesitate to seriously injure the emperor, completely messing up the already chaotic situation!

The six princes also had to launch a palace change in advance, so what happened later.

"It's a pity, the sixth prince probably couldn't guess that the emperor has been wary of the list of forces all these years, so he made arrangements early."

Yan Zhao said: "Although the emperor was in a coma at that time, he left a back hand. ”

"The Great Prince?" Gu Qinghuan understood something, and his mood was a little complicated.

Unexpectedly, the eldest prince who was the first to be eliminated in the battle for the heir was the son whom the emperor loved and trusted the most.

"Hmm."

Yan Zhao said: "The reason why this time can go so smoothly is because the eldest prince took over the arrangements left by the emperor and wiped out all the traitors, and now the eldest prince has got the list, and the emperor has also woken up and started the final liquidation." ”

The die is cast.

The last uneasiness in Gu Qinghuan's heart dissipated without a trace, and she said, "It seems that ...... The matter is over. ”

Yan Zhao looked at Gu Qinghuan, who seemed to have a wish, and somehow, uneasiness swelled in his heart.

"I'm sleepy." Gu Qinghuan was already tired, and after talking so much to Yan Zhao, he couldn't hold on.

Yan Zhao wanted to ask her something more, but seeing this, he could only give up, so he nodded: "Have a good rest." ”

Saying that, Yan Zhao didn't linger too much and left Gu Qinghuan's room.

Gu Qinghuan was lying on the bed, his eyes were empty, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

……

Another two months passed.

The weather is getting cooler and less hot than before.

Gu Qinghuan's legs were also healed, and she began to walk on the ground, although she was still a little unaccustomed to it at first, but after half a month, she also got used to it.

The Gu family saw that Gu Qinghuan was gradually improving, and the family's hanging hearts were also put down, and the Yong'an Hou Mansion also returned to its usual harmony.

During the recuperation period, Yan Jin and Chu Xuan also came to see her from time to time.

Recently, this pair of friends who have been playing since childhood seem to have a new topic and started to run each other.

Gu Qinghuan listened beside him, often wanting to grab a handful of melon seeds to watch the show.

The reason why Yan Jin and Chu Xuan are like this has to start with the palace change three months ago.

The forces of the Duke of Wei not only launched a palace mutiny, but they also had people outside the palace to attack some nobles who wanted to enter the palace to rescue.

It's just that the remnants of Weiguo Gong didn't have many people and didn't dare to fight head-on, so they took the crooked way and took advantage of the fact that those nobles led their troops out of the house, sneaked into the mansion and took their wives and daughters as hostages.

This shocking change was soon discovered by the people of the government, and Shuntianfu sent people to stabilize the situation, and Nian Zaizhou, who was a fast catcher, also joined the rescue, and coincidentally, Nian Zaizhou rescued Chu Xuan.

In fact, Nian Zaizhou didn't want to participate in the rescue outside the palace, he heard that Gu Qinghuan was unknown in the palace, and he always wanted to enter the palace.

It's just that when Nian Zaizhou rescued Chu Xuan, Chu Xuan helped him block a sword at a critical moment and injured his arm.

Nian Zaizhou was going to take her to the hospital.

Chu Xuan kicked him angrily and told him to go to the palace to save Gu Qinghuan.

In the previous chaos, Chu Xuan also knew that his friend was in a prison, and he was so anxious that he couldn't do it.

It just so happened that Nian Zaizhou also wanted to save Gu Qinghuan, how could Chu Xuan stop him?

But this time, Nian Zaizhou was like taking the wrong medicine, he didn't save Gu Qinghuan, and insisted on pulling her to the hospital, and the two went to the hospital while arguing and scolding.

In the last year, Zaizhou did not enter the palace and stayed by Chu Xuan's side.

After Gu Qinghuan was sent back to the Yong'an Hou Mansion from the palace, Nian Zaizhou did not come to the door, but only prepared a gift to send to the Hou Mansion, and specially informed Chu Xuan of this matter.

Chu Xuan still felt inexplicable, what did she do with this when she had nothing to say?

Within a few days, Chu Xuan, who had no one to come to the door because of her murderous reputation, was asked to come to the door.

It's none other than Nian Zaizhou.

"How did I know he was going to propose to me? If it weren't for my father's nagging every day, I wouldn't have agreed to this family business! ”

That's how Chu Xuan described her mood.

"After Xuanxuan was proposed by the second brother of the year, she has been in a trance for a few days, and when she was with me, she forgot to read her favorite script, and she always suddenly smirked, at first I was scared by her, and asked her to go to the hospital to see, and then I realized that someone was just a spring heart."

That's what Yan Jin said to Gu Qinghuan.

was squeezed by Yan Jin like this, where could Chu Xuan endure it?

She turned her head and told Gu Qinghuan the news that Yan Jin was also married.

It was none other than Yan Jin, the eldest prince, Si Xiuze.

Gu Qinghuan had long heard that the Yasukuni Mansion was going to marry the eldest prince, and it was not surprising.

It's just that Chu Xuan told her an unexpected thing.

It turned out that when Yan Jin was sent to Guining Temple by Yan Zhao, it was the eldest prince who wanted to see her.

Fortunately, Gu Qinghuan saved Yan Jin, otherwise......

When Chu Xuan said this, he also had a complicated expression.

What made her feel even more complicated was that these things were confessed by the eldest prince to Yanjin.

"After the eldest prince informed me of this, he gave me the choice."

Yan Jin is not as duplicitous as Chu Xuan, but when he mentioned this kind of thing, he was very frank, "He said, if I mind this matter, he will propose to my father that the marriage matter be stopped, if I don't mind and am willing to give him a chance, he will be good to me and make me willing to be his princess, I chose the latter." ”

"You have never liked restraints, in the past, it was because of your body, you had to be kept in the boudoir, and you couldn't go outside to see, now Mr. Ning has taken care of most of your body, and in a few months you will be no different from ordinary people, you can do what you want, if you promise the eldest prince to be the princess, you will put on the restraints on yourself again."

After Gu Qinghuan heard this, he said to Yan Jin seriously: "Have you ever thought about this? ”

"Naturally, I thought about it."

Yan Jin nodded, "I just think...... If it were him, he might not disappoint me, even if I stayed in the walls of the deep palace, he would make me happy, as he said, I was willing to make such a choice. ”

When Gu Qinghuan heard this, he didn't say anything more.

Although Yan Jin looks weak, she is actually very assertive, and what she decides to do well must be something she is willing to accept and accept.

It's just that Gu Qinghuan is also worried about whether Yan Jin, who is free of mind, can stand the boring days of staying in the deep palace for decades to come.

Until the second day, Chu Xuan quietly told her that in fact, the eldest prince promised Yan Jin that no matter how busy he was in the future, he would leave the palace with Yan Jin and secretly go out to play.

Gu Qinghuan knew that her worries were unnecessary.

The young couple is much more interesting than she thought.

After the broken leg was completely healed, Gu Qinghuan was used to walking on the ground, and gradually returned to normal, although her body was still a little weak, but with Ning Xi's treatment, her recovery was very fast.

didn't wait long, Gu Qinghuan went to Hongluan's tomb as soon as possible.

The Gu family is very good to Hongluan, and the repaired cemetery is very attentive.

No matter how hard you work, you can't hide the regret that Hongluan is dead.

Although he knew the ending of Hongluan three months ago, when he came to Hongluan's tombstone and saw Hongluan's name engraved on it, Gu Qinghuan was still red-eyed.

On that day, she stayed in front of Hongluan's tomb from sunrise to sunset.

Zhiqiu wanted to persuade her to eat and drink some and take care of her body, but seeing Gu Qinghuan's silent appearance, she could only give up in the end.

At night, Gu Qinghuan seemed to have recovered from the state of fugue outside the world.

Zhiqiu helped Gu Qinghuan to stand up from the ground, but Gu Qinghuan had no strength.

Fortunately, Zhiqiu brought a wheelchair when he came, and when Gu Qinghuan recovered these days, he would occasionally fall because he was not used to it, so in order to prevent accidents, Zhiqiu brought this, and he didn't expect it to come in handy at this moment.

On the way back to push Gu Qinghuan, they met an unexpected person.

Ningxi.

"It's so late, Mr. Ning came to see Sister Bai Zhi?" Gu Qinghuan asked.

Ning Xi carried some refreshments and side dishes, nodded and said, "These days are too busy, only at this time, can I come to see Zhi'er." ”

During the palace change three months ago, Ning Xi was brought into the palace by Gu Yixian to save Gu Qinghuan, and at the same time saved the emperor who was in danger.

After the emperor woke up, he rewarded Ning Xi.

Although Ning Xi politely refused the official title, he couldn't refuse the honor given to him by the emperor.

More and more people are looking for him in the imperial capital.

Ning Xi did not refuse, especially those patients who were still in their prime of life, he would always come to the door for treatment as soon as possible.

Gu Qinghuan knew that after Ning Xi experienced the pain of losing his daughter, he didn't want others to experience the same pain as him.

The healer is benevolent.

"I forgot to mention it before."

When Ning Xi was about to part with Gu Qinghuan, he thought of something, put down the basket in his hand, and said to Gu Qinghuan to the end, "Thank you Miss Gu for avenging Zhi'er." ”

Gu Qinghuan didn't stop Ning Xi, she knew that if Ning Xi didn't do what he wanted, he would always remember it.

"It should." Gu Qinghuan smiled lightly at Ning Xi, "Whether it's ice making, fireworks, or salt...... It's all the credit of Sister Bai Zhi, and all I did was explain this fact to others. ”

After a pause, Gu Qinghuan said to Ning Xi seriously: "Mr. Ning, I have heard Sister Bai Zhi say something, I think...... Maybe you should listen to it too. ”

Ning Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Miss Gu, please speak." ”

"Sister Bai Zhi said that people will experience two deaths, one is when she dies, and the other is when she is forgotten by everyone, and when everyone forgets her, it is her real death."

Gu Qinghuan said softly: "Mr. Ning, you still remember Sister Bai Zhi, and I also remember Sister Bai Zhi, now her exploits are known by people all over the world, and even recorded in history and passed down to future generations...... She will always be remembered. ”

When Ning Xi heard this, he was stunned for a long time, and unconsciously, the old tears were rampant.

Again, he made a gesture to Gu Qinghuan to the end, more solemn and serious than before: "Miss Gu, really...... Thanks a lot. ”

"No thanks."

Gu Qinghuan smiled faintly: "I said, this is all what Sister Bai Zhi said." ”

When Ning Xi heard this, he smiled knowingly, and then he was stunned again, as if he was thinking about something

Gu Qinghuan didn't bother him anymore, and whispered to Zhiqiu to push her away.

It's another month, and it's already a little cold.

Gu Qinghuan has fully recovered.

Just when the Gu family was completely relieved, Gu Qinghuan made a decision that shocked everyone, but could not refuse.

"I want to travel around the mountains and rivers of Dazhang."

At the dinner table where the whole family was present, Gu Qinghuan solemnly announced the matter to his family, "In the early spring of next year, I will set off." ”

"Good baby!" Gu He was so frightened that he screamed in surprise, thinking that he had misheard, "What did you say?" ”

"Sister, your body is not healed yet." Gu Jingxing frowned and said seriously, completely forgetting that he had just said that Gu Qinghuan's body had healed.

"Why?"

Gu Yixian is worthy of being the head of the family, and the only one of the three is quite calm.

Gu Qinghuan saw the chopsticks in Gu Yixian's hand fall to the ground.

Gu Yixian pretended that nothing had happened and ignored the chopsticks on the ground.

"I'd like to check it out."

Gu Qinghuan said to his family members who had their own concerns: "In the past ten years, I have been trapped in the imperial capital due to various things, and I have almost stayed here for the rest of my life, and I have never seen the great mountains and rivers outside, so I ...... I want to check it out. ”

Hearing the sentence "I almost stayed here for the rest of my life", the Gu family, who originally wanted to oppose Gu Qinghuan, fell silent in an instant.

They all thought of the scene where Gu Qinghuan confronted the adults at the triage of the three divisions for the sake of the Gu family, and Gu Qinghuan did not hesitate to risk returning to the palace in order to notify the eldest prince of Yanzhao and others as soon as possible, and almost couldn't save it.

Their good baby, sister, and daughter, they are right.

Almost, Gu Qinghuan was about to be buried in the imperial capital for the rest of his life.

Just thinking about it, I feel worried.

"In that case......

Gu Yixian rarely sighed in front of Gu Qinghuan, "Then go and take a look, as long as you want to do something, do it." ”

Gu Qinghuan almost died, and there was no future.

Whenever he thought of this, Gu Yixian felt that he was too sorry for his daughter, and he was ashamed of his wife who asked him to take good care of his daughter before he died.

Now, Gu Qinghuan escaped death and is safe and sound.

Gu Yixian doesn't ask for anything else, only wants her daughter to be peaceful and happy for the rest of her life.

If Gu Qinghuan wants to go outside to have a look, then let her go.

Gu He and Gu Jingxing did not object in the end.

They thought the same as Gu Yixian, Gu Qinghuan wanted to go, so he let her go.

Gu Qinghuan did not have the consent of his family.

Because, this is the family who loves her the most.

……

The early spring is about to leave, although there are still a few months to go, Gu Qinghuan feels very urgent.

She not only has to do a good job of the final recovery under Ning Xi's supervision, but also reassures her friends and says goodbye to them one by one.

In addition, she has to prepare the things she will use for her trip and plan the route of her trip around Dazhang.

It's been a busy winter.

It wasn't until the end of winter that Gu Qinghuan prepared everything and just waited for the early spring to set off.

Not long before the day of travel, Gu Qinghuan went to the Yasukuni Mansion.

When Yan Jin saw her, he was happy and a little sad.

"Qinghuan, when will you be able to come back?"

Before Gu Qinghuan left, Yan Jin was looking forward to her coming back, "I don't want to have no one to accompany me on my wedding day." ”

On the side, Chu Xuan glanced at Yan Jin and didn't speak-

This little girl, in order to keep Gu Qinghuan, she can really say anything!

Let's think about myself next to you!

Gu Qinghuan smiled and said, "Your wedding is still two years away, I will come back before that, and on the way to every place I visit, I will write to you to tell you about the customs there...... Don't you like to read the rivers and lakes described in the script? I'm going to take a look at it for you. ”

Seeing that Gu Qinghuan had made up her mind, Yan Jin and Chu Xuan knew that they couldn't keep her.

In fact, from the time Gu Qinghuan decided to leave, they knew that Gu Qinghuan seemed to have made this decision a long time ago, and since this was the case, no one could stop Gu Qinghuan.

stayed in the Yasukuni Mansion until almost night, Chu Xuan went back early because of something, Gu Qinghuan saw that the time was not early, and also said goodbye and left.

Yan Jin was reluctant to send Gu Qinghuan to the gate of the courtyard, and wanted to send her to the gate, but Gu Qinghuan stopped her for some reason.

Yan Jin had no choice but to give up and watch Gu Qinghuan leave.

After walking away, Gu Qinghuan did not leave the Yasukuni Mansion directly, but took Zhiqiu to another courtyard of the Yasukuni Mansion.

"Miss Gu?"

At the gate of the courtyard, Du Xiaowu was very surprised when he saw Gu Qinghuan, "Why are you here?" Are you here to find Childe? ”

Since Gu Qinghuan woke up, Yan Zhao has been busy with affairs and rarely shows up, especially after the winter, he has not seen Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan also didn't seem to come to Yan Zhao because he was very busy.

It was the first meeting between the two after entering the winter.

"Hmm."

Gu Qinghuan nodded to Du Xiaowu, "Is your son-in-law here?" ”

"Yes."

Du Xiaowu said: "The little one will go and report to the son." ”

With that, Du Xiaowu entered the courtyard.

Gu Qinghuan waited for a while, and Du Xiaowu came out of it, his eyes dodging, as if he didn't dare to look at Gu Qinghuan.

"That...... Miss Gu. ”

Du Xiaowu lowered his head and said apologetically: "My son-in-law is still busy, I'm afraid...... I can't see you anymore. ”

When Gu Qinghuan heard this, he was slightly silent.

Soon, she spoke: "It's okay, it's important to get down to business." ”

"It's good that Miss Gu understands."

Du Xiaowu was very embarrassed, he didn't expect that Yan Zhao didn't even go out of the door of the study, and directly refused to meet Gu Qinghuan.

He thought that with his son-in-law's lifelong friendship with Miss Gu, he would never even see each other.

What's more, in the past, even if his son-in-law was busy, as long as Miss Gu came to the door, he would meet him no matter what.

It's different now.

"Miss Gu."

Seeing that Gu Qinghuan was leaving, Du Xiaowu subconsciously stopped her.

"Huh?" Gu Qinghuan paused, and turned his head to look at Du Xiaowu.

Du Xiaowu said: "I heard that Miss Gu is leaving the imperial capital in early spring?" ”

"Hmm." Gu Qinghuan nodded, "I'm going to take a look around." ”

"When does Miss Gu plan to come back?" Du Xiaowu asked again.

"On the day of Jin'er and Xuanxuan's wedding, I will come back to take a look."

Gu Qinghuan said: "Other times...... If nothing important, I probably won't come back. ”

"Is that so......" Du Xiaowu heard this, his tone was complicated, it was the first time he had seen such a dashing woman as Miss Gu!

Which of the other women doesn't stay at home obediently and stay in her husband's house after getting married?

Miss Gu doesn't seem to have the slightest intention of getting married, she is very free and chic!

Du Xiaowu didn't want to criticize Gu Qinghuan, he just felt that Gu Qinghuan was very powerful!

"No more words?"

Gu Qinghuan's voice suddenly remembered, interrupting Du Xiaowu's thinking.

Du Xiaowu came back to his senses and hurriedly shook his head: "It's gone." ”

As soon as the words fell, Du Xiaowu suddenly saw a trace of disappointment on Gu Qinghuan's face, and returned to normal in an instant, so fast that Du Xiaowu thought that he was dazzled.

Then, Gu Qinghuan said goodbye and left the Yasukuni Mansion.

Zhiqiu sat in the carriage with her.

It's just that the carriage hasn't been running for a while, Gu Qinghuan suddenly said, "Stop." ”

Zhiqiu didn't know why, but he still ordered the carriage to stop.

At this time, Gu Qinghuan got out of the carriage.

Zhiqiu followed her down, only to find that the carriage didn't even go out of the street where the Yasukuni Mansion was located, and happened to stop at the end of the street.

Gu Qinghuan stood at the end of the street and looked somewhere.

Zhiqiu followed her line of sight and saw the gate of the Yasukuni Mansion, which was already a little blurry, and Zhiqiu didn't understand what the young lady was looking at and why she was looking.

Since the beginning of winter, the young lady has been preparing for the trip, looking busy, but it seems to have other things on her mind.

Zhiqiu has followed Gu Qinghuan for so many years, and he can still keenly perceive these differences.

It's just that she doesn't know what Miss is thinking.

Gu Qinghuan stood at the end of the street for a while, and also looked at the Yasukuni Mansion for a long time.

Finally, she retracted her gaze and said to Zhiqiu, "Go back." ”

After speaking, Gu Qinghuan got into the carriage and didn't say anything along the way.

……

Yasukuni Mansion.

After Du Xiaowu sent Gu Qinghuan away, he couldn't help but go to the door of Yan Zhao's study again, and said in a low voice: "Childe, Miss Gu is gone." ”

"Hmm."

After a long time, Yan Zhao's voice sounded in the study.

When Du Xiaowu heard this somewhat perfunctory voice, he was inexplicably disappointed, he only felt that his son-in-law had been too obsessed with official business recently, and he was impersonal!

At the same time, inside the study.

On the wide bookcase, there are folds as high as a mountain.

Yan Zhao was submerged in the sea of books, and he didn't raise his head, flipping through one fold after another, and writing down annotations from time to time.

The knuckles of his fingers holding the pen were red and swollen, as if they had been caused by recent overexertion, and he seemed to be unaware of the pain, and wrote word after word.

I don't know how long it took, but it was as black as ink.

Yan Zhao raised his head slightly, he narrowed his bloodshot eyes, looked at countless official cases, raised his somewhat red and swollen fingers, and gestured slightly.

"And ...... These. ”

Yan Zhao muttered, bowed his head again, and raised his pen to annotate, tirelessly.

……

Soon, it's early spring.

Gu Qinghuan chose to set off on the day of spring flowers.

Before leaving, she said goodbye to Yanjin Chuxuan, went to the tombs of Hongluan and Bai Zhi, and planted a bunch of flowers in front of their tombs, and when she came back next time, maybe this place would be full of wildflowers.

After making all the preparations for parting, the day of Gu Qinghuan's departure soon ushered in.

Gu He took Gu Qinghuan's hand, his red eyes were reluctant, but he didn't say anything he wanted Gu Qinghuan to stay.

Gu Yixian and Gu Jingxing also took leave at home and specially sent Gu Qinghuan.

Gu Qinghuan didn't want them to send it again and again, in this case, I was afraid that if it was sent outside the city, the family would follow, so at the gate of the Hou Mansion, Gu Qinghuan strictly forbade them to follow him again.

After she got into the carriage, Zhiqiu instructed the groom to catch the carriage.

Gu Qinghuan heard Gu He's voice in the car, lifted the curtain, waved his hand lightly to Gu He, who said goodbye to her with red eyes, and left his family's field of vision with a smile.

It wasn't until he couldn't see anything that Gu Qinghuan lowered the curtain.

At this time, Zhiqiu handed her a handkerchief.

Gu Qinghuan came back to his senses, raised his fingertips and touched his cheeks, only to realize that he didn't know when he burst into tears.

"If you really want to be reluctant, why don't you let the old lady give them more?"

Zhiqiu couldn't help but say, "Miss is leaving, maybe she won't come back for a year or two......"

Gu Qinghuan wiped away her tears with a handkerchief, slowly restrained her fluctuating emotions, and said to Zhiqiu: "The more you send, the more reluctant you are." ”

Zhiqiu also understood that what Miss said was right, but she was a little distressed when she looked at the corners of Miss's slightly red eyes.

"Miss...... Why do you want to go outside? Zhiqiu asked.

"Don't you want to?" Gu Qinghuan asked rhetorically.

Zhiqiu was stunned for a moment, and then nodded honestly: "Slave maid...... Of course, I thought about it, the slave and maid had never left the imperial capital for fifty miles. ”

"Me too."

Gu Qinghuan leaned on the cushion and said softly: "I have been in the imperial capital for more than ten years, if I don't take advantage of my youth to go outside to see more and see the scenery that I have never seen before, and to meet those who may not have had the opportunity to meet, it is not a bad thing." ”

In her previous life, she experienced strife in the imperial capital, intriguing during the day, and not being at peace at night, from her body to her heart, she was trapped in the besieged city.

Until after her death, Hongluan took her out of the imperial capital and drifted on the sea.

Looking at the wide sea area, Gu Qinghuan remembered the idea she had thought about when everything was over, and then go outside to have a look.

I couldn't stop thinking about it anymore.

Although she has too many worries in the imperial capital, people only live one life, and she is lucky enough to have a chance to come back.

In this case, it is better to live a different life from the previous life.

Do what she hasn't done, meet people she hasn't seen.

Gu Qinghuan was full of expectations for this.

Counting the time, Gu Qinghuan felt that the carriage was outside the city, so he lifted the curtain.

The speed of the carriage was faster than she thought, she had already arrived at the outskirts of the imperial capital, looking at the vast fields, Gu Qinghuan only felt relaxed and happy.

At this time, Gu Qinghuan suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves, and galloped quickly from far to near.

She subconsciously looked in that direction and saw a black horse riding in the wind.

The man on the horse, dressed in a white robe like a cloud.

Gu Qinghuan was a little stunned, and watched the man come quickly, and when he was about to approach, he slowed down and came to the side of the carriage, parallel to her.

The two looked at each other.

"How do you ...... Here it comes? Gu Qinghuan was stunned, and he couldn't come back to his senses until now.

Yan Zhao......

Knowing that he was leaving the imperial capital, Yan Zhao, who didn't want to see him for several months, actually appeared here.

Gu Qinghuan secretly pinched his legs.

It hurts.

"It's not a dream."

At this time, Yan Zhao's voice sounded.

Gu Qinghuan came back to his senses and looked at Yan Zhao in surprise, why does this man know how to read minds?

Yan Zhao looked at her fixedly and did not speak.

Gu Qinghuan suddenly noticed that after not seeing him for a few months, Yan Zhao was much haggard than before, his face was emaciated, not to mention, there were bloodshots under his eyes, and the green shadow under his eyes was impossible to ignore.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Qinghuan couldn't help but ask, "This is ...... Why are you so emaciated after months of not seeing? ”

Hearing this, he was slightly silent, and then said: "The emperor gave me an official position, and I have just taken this position for less than three months, and I am about to step down, and the emperor does not want to let me go, so he left me a lot of things, saying that if I can deal with everything, let me leave." ”

"These days, I have been doing what the emperor gave me."

Yan Zhao said: "After finishing a bunch, the emperor will give me another bunch...... It wasn't until last night that I got everything done. ”

Gu Qinghuan was stunned.

He actually ......

Gu Qinghuan tightened her fingers by the window, she stared at Yan Zhao tightly, and suddenly said, "Then you...... Why come here? ”

"Because...... It's a coincidence. ”

Yan Zhao looked straight at Gu Qinghuan and did not avoid Gu Qinghuan's gaze.

At this time, Gu Qinghuan heard the sound of horses' hooves again, and swept to a familiar figure in the afterglow-

Du Xiaowu was driving the carriage closer.

Without waiting for her to react, Yan Zhao's voice sounded in her ears-

"Gu Qinghuan, I also want to travel around the beautiful mountains and rivers of Dazhang."

Yan Zhao looked at Gu Qinghuan and smiled slightly, and the smile entered his eyes and Gu Qinghuan's heart.

"We ...... Way. ”
