Chapter Seventy-Five, Dongyang Kingdom
Seeing him like this, Guiyan's eyes widened, looking at Lu Jingzhi's solemn appearance, she seemed to have guessed what he wanted to say. But even if he guessed, he couldn't help but hold his breath lightly, waiting for his next words.
The two pairs of eyes looked at each other, each could see the intentions, the air was so quiet that it seemed that only the sound of shallow slow breathing could be heard, Lu Jingzhi's cheeks were red, his lips opened and closed several times, and he didn't speak.
In this somewhat eerie silence, Guiyan's expression changed from nervous to calm to condensed, and his eyes were already a little cold.
It's so angry! Is it really that hard to say that?!
Guiyan had a cold face and was about to take a step back, Lu Jingzhi noticed her movements, grabbed her wrist, and frowned a little, "Guiyan, I take back what I once said, I don't want you to be a person who swears to follow, I just want you to be my person!" ”
When Guiyan heard this, she was stunned at first, remembering the agreement she had reached with Lu Jingzhi under the apricot blossom tree at that time, but his later words made her really laugh, and her eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles.
Lu Jingzhi watched the ice and snow melt and spring return to the earth, his tense expression eased, and he slowly showed a smile.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, but it's good that you said it, otherwise you wouldn't have a chance. I don't need you to take ninety-nine steps towards me, but you have to walk fifty steps for me. ”
Guiyan's eyebrows and eyes are soft, with a little more gentleness.
If the so-called love is really a hundred steps, then what she hopes most is that they can walk together in this hundred steps!
……
In Gu Yuebai's room, there was a strong smell of medicine, and there was an empty porcelain bowl on the table, and Lian Ze sat on the edge of the bed and handed Gu Yuebai another bowl.
Gu Yuebai's face was a little terrifying, her eyes were a little sunken, and her lips were not bloody.
Seeing Gu Yuebai finish drinking with an expression on his face, Lian Ze took the empty bowl and put it on the table, and took out a needle bag from the medicine box next to him.
"The Gu King has been in your body for so many years, and it was suddenly taken out, and your body can't stand it, so this situation will appear."
Lian Ze took out a long needle from the needle bag and took out a white jade porcelain bottle, which contained a green potion.
Lian Ze put the long needle in the bottle and soaked it for a while, and when he took it out again, the silver needle was already faint green.
"Hand me your hand, five fingers to the heart, it hurts a lot, but bear with it." Even his face was calm, and even the words of advice were said by him like a pool of stagnant water.
Gu Yuebai didn't speak, her peach blossom eyes didn't even lift her eyelids, so she handed her left hand to Lian Ze.
Lian Ze slowly pierced the long needle between his fingers, Gu Yuebai frowned, his other hand clenched into a fist, and cold sweat gradually oozed from his forehead.
Lian Ze held his breath and stared, and when everything was done, he lifted his sleeve and wiped the sweat beads on his head.
Gu Yuebai's hands hurt, but as a doctor, his heart is also very tired.
If he really pricked Gu Yuebai's hand out of something, Gu Yuebai would let him go.
Lian Ze let out a sigh of relief, looking at Gu Yue's pale face, and somehow felt some pity in his heart.
Because of this pity, Lian Ze was silent for a while and still opened his mouth.
"Gu Yuebai, let me tell you a story, many years ago, I met the girl concerned." Lian Ze's mind is empty, as if immersed in memories.
Gu Yuebai looked up at him, as if a wood carving had suddenly moved.
He has always been curious about the relationship between Lian Ze and Gui Yan, but Gui Yan didn't say it, he didn't feel the need to ask, and now that Lian Ze opened his mouth, he was naturally willing to listen.
He wanted to know everything about her in the days when he was not with her, so that he could pretend to pass by her years.
Except for Lian Ze's light words, there was only the occasional sound of his movements when he took the needle. Gu Yuebai leaned on the bed the whole time, listening to Lian Ze's words, his face was flat, and only the occasional narrowing of his pupils reflected the turbulent waves in his heart.
After Lian Ze finished speaking, the atmosphere fell silent for a while, Lian Ze took down the needle from Gu Yuebai's hand, and the afterglow swept over his cheeks, and he was suddenly shocked that his face was already full of tears.
Lian Ze's hand froze, and after reacting, he hurriedly completed the follow-up work and hurriedly went out with the box.
Lian Ze felt that with such an embarrassed and sincere tears, the regent above the ten thousand people in the Chu State must not be willing to let others see it.
It's one thing for him to shed tears, but it's another to be seen or not.
If he starts to have convulsions again one day, Lian doesn't want to be killed by him because of this matter.
After Lian Ze closed the door, Gu Yuebai burst into tears, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he suddenly raised his hand and slapped himself hard.
The crisp slap fell, and after a while, the handsome face was red and swollen.
Gu Yuebai didn't seem to feel the pain, and raised her hand to slap herself, then the third and fourth times.
The first slap was full of life for her Xia family.
The second slap was a regret for her father's tragic death.
The third slap was misunderstood by her when he was a teenager.
The fourth slap made Song Ji humiliate her for him.
……
He always thought that she was always behind him, but there was always a time when that person was tired, tired, sad, and wanted to give up.
And thinking of the moonlight white dress, another excellent man has appeared beside her.
Thinking of Guiyan's indifference, Gu Yuebai laughed at herself, even if her heart couldn't come back, he would force her to stay by her side.
Lian Ze returned to his courtyard, stood in front of the window, looked at the clouds in the sky, thought of the scene he had seen in the Guiyan room, and sighed slightly.
Gu Yuebai is an idiot, why isn't he?
Thinking of the memory of returning to smoke, even Ze has a headache.
He didn't understand, why?
Why can even Gu Yuebai, who hurt her deeply, remember it, but forget those years in the Heavenly Valley.
He and his acquaintance knew each other in the valley of heaven, and she remembered everything, but she forgot her alone, and forgot her most difficult years.
The old man in Tianyougu is a sick man, he likes to experiment on all kinds of things, and when he can't get a result, he likes to beat people.
When he saw Guiyan at that time, she always had criss-crossing scars on her hands. And she endured far more hardships than he had ever seen.
……
A few days later, when Gu Yuebai's body was slightly recovering, after the Gu King, who had already adapted to his body, left, something big suddenly happened in the court.
Two court officials were suddenly found dead in their own homes, and they died in the same way.
The bodies were neatly laid out in the room, and then the heads were cut off and hung from the beams.
As soon as this incident came out, there was an uproar.
After the little emperor heard the report of the visitor, he was so frightened that his face turned pale and said, "I want to change my clothes", and in the surprised eyes of the Manchu Dynasty, he retreated.
It's just that it's about changing clothes, but it's actually just that I'm scared and want to pee my pants, and then find a better way to say it.
The regent party looked at the little emperor with more and more disdain, and sure enough, the mud couldn't support the wall.
I really don't understand why the regent still wants to keep him on the throne, isn't it good to take people down and become emperors himself early?
I still have to talk to him about the throne.
The regent has not been in court for a long time, and as soon as such a major event comes out, he will definitely have to come back.
Gu Yuebai returned to the regent palace that night, and summoned twelve ministers into the study in a row, and the lights were not extinguished all night.
When Xuanwu sent the last adult away, the sky was already white, and the early morning fog carried a chill, and when Xuanwu returned to the study, he saw Gu Yuebai standing in front of the wide open window.
His face was still pale, his lips were a little peeling, and Xuanwu realized that in such a night, according to his master's state of not wanting to die when he talked about things, I am afraid that he didn't drink a sip of tea.
There was tea in the room warmed by a carbon fire, but unfortunately the carbon fire had long been extinguished.
Xuanwu went outside to stop a maid, called someone to bring tea over, and went to Gu Yuebai's bedroom to get a cloak.
Gu Yuebai put on a cloak and took the tea handed over by Xuanwu, the tea was a little hot, with a faint fragrance of tea.
After a cup, I felt that the whole person was warm.
Xuanwu took the empty cup and was about to have another cup, but Gu Yuebai shook his hand to stop it.
He looked at the fiery red in the sky, but there was a faint coolness in his heart.
This time it's not so much murder as a war book.
The method of killing the two ministers this time is exactly the same as the death method of the two ministers of the Yue Kingdom 28 years ago.
And the two ministers of the Yue Kingdom are the vassals of the Lu family of the Yue Kingdom, and they are also Lu Lengshi's right-hand men.
The person who killed them was the people of the mysterious island country of the sea, Dongyang Country.
Gu Yuebai didn't know about the Yue Kingdom back then, so he didn't understand why Dongyang Guo killed people in the first place, but he knew that after that, Lu Lengshi was hit very hard in the Yue Kingdom court.
It was also at that time that the current iron-blooded emperor of the Yue Kingdom began to rise and emerge.
Part of the reason why the Lu family has changed from the number one family controlling the government to fighting against the emperor is also this.
And now, when his Gu Yuebai family became bigger, his people were killed, exactly the same as at that time.
Gu Yuebai couldn't figure out when he got into trouble with Dongyang Kingdom, but if Dongyang Kingdom really wanted to meddle in the government of Chu State, it would not be so easy.
Although his body was no longer complete, Gu Yuebai had already strengthened his spirit to plan for the future, thinking of the time when prices in some places were rising wildly some time ago and some people were deliberately making trouble, Gu Yuebai felt more and more that Dongyang Kingdom wanted to do something.
……
Gu Yuebai went down the mountain, and it was not too late for Guiyan to know.
Lian Ze went to check Gu Yuebai's pulse as usual but was stopped outside, so he hurriedly ran to Guiyan and told her.
At that time, Gu Yuebai was dressed in brown short clothes, sitting at the table drinking tea, and when he heard Lian Ze drink and Guiyan saying that he hadn't seen Gu Yuebai, the corners of his mouth curled up and smiled lightly.
