Chapter 14: The Portrait Storm

Gu Zimo was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Gao Changgong to ask him this.

"That's right! As long as you give me back the letter, you can do whatever you want me to do! ”

"Anything?" Gao Changgong said, his long white fingers picked up Gu Zimo's chin, making Gu Zimo's delicate face completely present in his sight, "Don't forget what you said today." ”

After the words fell, Gao Changgong took out a letter from the pillow, the envelope had been opened, but Gu Zimo couldn't care about these details, and reached out and snatched the letter.

I opened the envelope in a hurry, but there was an image inside, and this image was clearly the ugly picture of Gao Changgong he painted last night!!

"This, that's the letter?"

Gu Zimo raised his head from the painting and looked at Gao Changgong with an inexplicable expression.

Gao Changgong glanced at the painting lightly, his tone was understated, and he couldn't hear the joy and anger, "Since the letter is written to you, this king thinks, you naturally know what this painting means, but you come to let this king listen." ”

"Huh?"

When Gu Zimo heard this, his face turned pale.

How could he possibly admit that he had made this painting?

Isn't this a self-confession, and now it seems that Gao Changgong doesn't know where the letter came from......

Even he wondered, he hadn't left the house last night, this palace was heavily guarded, why did his painting run into the envelope and fall into Gao Changgong's hands?

It's really thrilling to think about, fortunately, this painting doesn't explicitly say that it is Gao Changgong, but the clothing, face and hairstyle are the same as Gao Changgong, and the facial features are deliberately painted by him to be extremely ugly, so probably Gao Changgong himself can't notice that the person in this painting is himself.

"Say, this king, I believe, you will give this king a satisfactory statement."

Gao Changgong's tone was neither angry nor angry, but with his innate nobility, and his aura of not being angry and arrogant, Gu Zimo was trembling, and he didn't dare to look at him directly, "This painting ...... It is probably written by a literati friend who Zimo made in the city in the past...... Because he didn't leave a name, Zimo didn't dare to assert who it was......"

"Really?" Gao Changgong's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, the corners of his lips suddenly hooked, and he looked at Gu Zimo with a smile, "Then in your opinion, who should be the person in this painting?" ”

"This ......"

Although Gao Changgong showed no signs of anger, and even had a faint smile on his face, Gu Zimo still sensed the potential crisis condensed in the air.

Subconsciously swallowed his saliva, he pretended to be ignorant and shook his head, "This, Zimo really doesn't know ......"

"You really don't know? However, this king thinks that the person in this painting is quite familiar. ”

"Yes...... Is it? Could His Highness be mistaken...... The facial features of the person in this painting are really exaggerated, where can there be such a look in life, Zimo thinks that it must be a friend who is playing a prank with Zimo......"

"You are right, this king also thinks that this painting is someone's malicious behavior, and it must be strictly investigated, since you and this king want to go together, this matter will be handed over to you to supervise, and for three days, the person who wrote this painting will be brought to this king."

"This ......"

"Any questions?"

"No, no problem......"

"Since there is no problem, you can step down."

Gu Zimo saw Gao Changgong stretching his waist, as if he was going to lie back on the couch to rest, and stood there for a while.

After standing for a while, seeing that Gao Changgong didn't care about himself anymore, Gu Zimo had no choice but to take the painting and walk out.

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Gao Changgong's eyes that had been closed slowly opened, turned sideways slightly, and glanced at the almond cakes scattered on the ground, his eyes gradually dimmed, and he did not return to his senses for a long time.

As soon as Gu Zimo returned to the room, the first thing he did was to sell the stolen goods.

He couldn't let Gao Changgong know that he still had several ugly portraits of Gao Changgong there.

Even the poems that were dissatisfied with Gao Changgong were burned.

Looking at the black ash in the brazier, Gu Zimo wiped the sweat from the corners of his forehead, "Three days, I hope after three days, he won't remember anything." ”

Now that he has burned all these paintings, he thinks that even if Gao Changgong wants to make a big fuss after three days, he has room to refute it, and he just denies it to death.

Gu Zimo has always been accustomed to communicating with literati and artists, and in order to prevent him from meeting Gao Changgong in the past few days, he has locked himself in the house and rarely goes out.

Seeing that the three-day period had passed today, and Gao Changgong hadn't sent anyone to find him, he was relieved and planned to go out to breathe.

As soon as I went out, I realized that the snow outside was not ordinarily large.

The entire palace was covered in a layer of white.

The flowers and trees in the ink garden have fallen a thick layer.

Gu Zimo's mood that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly relaxed a lot after seeing the snow white in the sky.

After adding a cloak, Gu Zimo was ready to go out for a walk.

Gu Zimo thinks that the Lanling Palace, which is wrapped in snow, is exceptionally beautiful.

After many days of depression, after being released at this time, it stimulated his childlike innocence.

I didn't care about freezing my hands, so I squatted in the snow and began to pinch the snowman.

After a while, Gu Zimo's hands were frozen red, and his robe was also wet with snow.

He didn't mind that, still immersed in his own pleasure.

Not far away, Gao Changgong had just come back from the conference hall, and from a distance, he saw Gu Zimo sniffing coldly in the snow.

With a faint glance, he saw that Gu Zimo was wearing a thin dress, and a layer of snow had fallen on the outer robe he was wearing, and a layer of frost was also frozen on his green silk.

Because Gu Zimo was facing away from him, although Gao Changgong couldn't see Gu Zimo's facial expression at this time, he could clearly see the ears that were red from the cold.

The good-looking sword eyebrows frowned slightly, and the steps under his feet had already taken steps towards where Gu Zimo was.

When Gao Changgong got closer, he saw that the smile on Gu Zimo's face at the moment was so pure and straightforward......

It's as if the years have not left any traces on his body.

It's as if he was an innocent child who didn't know anything about the world and didn't defile the world.

With such a pure smile, Gao Changgong has probably not seen it for more than ten years.

Gu Zimo was concentrating on building a snowman, and he didn't notice that someone was approaching him.

He looked at the shape of the snowman he had built, and hooked his lips with great satisfaction, and now the last part of his facial features remained.

Raising his eyes and looking around, there is, the red plum is just used to make the lips of the snowman, and the branches can be used as eyes and noses......

With a goal in mind, Gu Zimo got up and walked towards the red plum by the water pavilion.

There was a smile in his eyes......

Suddenly, his feet slipped, and he was almost planted towards the frozen water.

A pair of hands suddenly appeared on his waist, dragging his falling body back.

Gu Zimo gasped in shock, came back to his senses, and was about to thank the person who came to the rescue, but after seeing that the person was Gao Changgong, he was as if he had seen a ghost, and he broke free from Gao Changgong's arms in fright, retreated a few steps back again and again, and looked at Gao Changgong with a wary face, his eyes were panicked, as if he had been more frightened.

Gao Changgong saw that the pure smile on his face no longer existed, his eyes deepened, and his peerless face was covered with a layer of indifference, "You are very afraid of this king?" ”

This is a question, but Gao Changgong uses an affirmative tone.

Gu Zimo's heart tightened for no reason, and Fang Cai's uneasiness instantly doubled.

However, Gu Zimo knew that he couldn't show it in front of him, otherwise wouldn't he not confess himself because he was guilty of the incident three days ago?

Moreover, maybe Gao Changgong had forgotten about it, thinking of this, Gu Zimo quickly switched his emotions, reluctantly raised a smile on his face, and explained to Gao Changgong: "Your Highness misunderstood, Zimo almost fell into the water just now, and he was shocked for a while, not because he saw His Highness......

"Really? This king also thinks that you dare not face this king because of other things, it seems that this king is too careful. ”

Gao Changgong took the details of the rapid switch on Gu Zimo's face into his eyes, did not dismantle him, said lightly, glanced at the snowman that had been formed, his eyes deepened, and stood aside, neither caring about Gu Zimo, nor having the intention of leaving.

Gu Zimo saw Gao Changgong standing aside, and he had already lost the mind to build a snowman.

After standing for a while, the soles of Gu Zimo's feet were already cold and numb, and then he realized that he was soaked all over, no wonder it was so cold.

Subconsciously glanced at Gao Changgong, and found that he was wearing a white cloak, slightly thicker than himself, but his figure curves were very graceful, even if he was wrapped in several layers of thick coats, he still stretched his long figure tall and tall, with that handsome and compelling face, it was enough to make people forget their breath and heartbeat at a glance.

"Sneeze ......"

The inappropriate sneeze made Gu Zimo withdraw his gaze from his scrutiny of Gao Changgong.

Gao Changgong's body standing there finally moved, his eyelids raised slightly, he glanced at Gu Zimo coldly, didn't say a word, and suddenly turned around and left.

Gu Zimo looked at Gao Changgong and finally left, and then let out a long breath.

For fear that he would run into Gao Changgong, who lived next door, Gu Zimo's pace was extremely slow on the way back, and when he walked to the ink garden, he was already behind a stick of incense.

As soon as I walked to the ink garden, I saw Gao Wenhou holding the tray with an anxious face at the door.

"Mr. Gao, are you waiting for me?"

"Zimo Gongzi, why are you soaking wet, hurry up and go into the house and drink some ginger soup to warm up......"

After Gu Zimo entered the house, he saw Gao Wen pour ginger soup from the stew pot into the bowl, and respectfully brought it to him, and was a little curious for a while, "Does everyone in the house have ginger soup to drink today?" ”

Gao Wen was stunned, as if he was stopped by Gu Zimo.

"Why does Zimo Gongzi think so?"

"It's snowing today, and I happened to see you bringing me ginger soup outside my house, so I wondered if everyone in the house had this benefit...... I see, no......"

"Of course not, this is ......" Gao Wen was about to speak, when he suddenly remembered something, and forcibly swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

Gu Zimo picked up the hot ginger soup and drank it in his stomach, feeling that the cold air in his body was instantly dispelled a lot.

Suddenly, he thought of the time that Gao Changgong had been standing in the snow for a short time, and suddenly realized, "I understand, you sent this ginger soup to His Highness, and he didn't drink the rest of it, right?" ”

It turned out that he could drink such a hot ginger soup after being cold, all of which was stained with Gao Changgong's light, so he said how could Gao Wen know that he was cold and happened to come to deliver ginger soup?
