Chapter 135: I'm Back, Where Are You
"What are you thinking, Amo?"
"I didn't ...... Didn't think much ......."
Gao Xiaolin picked up the water bladder, took off the stopper, and handed it to Gu Zimo, "Drink saliva, when we get to the town in front, let's go find an inn to rest and buy you some delicious food to replenish your body." β
Gu Zimo took the water bladder and took a sip, lowered his head, and his heart was inexplicably empty.
Gao Changgong was so sure that he wouldn't let him go to see Gao Xiaolin.
Why is he in Gao Xiaolin's carriage now......
How did Xiaolin convince Gao Changgong?
"Amo, are you not feeling well? Do you want to stop the carriage and rest? β
"No, I'm fine...... I just ......" Gu Zimo knew that it was not appropriate to talk about Gao Changgong at this time, but he still wanted to figure out what was going on.
"What's wrong? Ah Mo and I don't have to hide it, we can say whatever we want......"
Gao Xiaolin held Gu Zimo's hand and noticed that his palms were full of sweat, "Amo, I don't want you to hide it from me while pretending to be on your mind...... Tell me about it, can you? β
"Since you asked, then I said, Xiaolin, your previous injury, but Gao Changgong did it?"
Gu Zimo suddenly asked, Gao Xiaolin's face changed slightly, her eyes flickered, and she said after a while: "Actually, my ...... hurt"
"Is he the one who did it?" Gu Zimo saw Gao Xiaolin spitting, frowned, and asked again.
"I accidentally ...... it myself"
"So, it's probably not him?" Gu Zimo was too worried about Gao Xiaolin at the time, so he would suspect Gao Changgong as soon as he found out that Gao Xiaolin was injured.
But he suddenly remembered that when he questioned Gao Changgong, Gao Changgong was at a loss.
Just as Gao Changgong objected to him going to see Gao Xiaolin, if it was really Gao Changgong's doing, he had no reason to react like that, so Gao Xiaolin's injury was really not Gao Changgong's doing.
"It shouldn't be the fourth brother, after all, it was the arrangement of the fourth brother that I took you away, and the fourth brother is actually a very good person."
Gao Xiaolin said softly to Gu Zimo.
Gu Zimo's heart was throbbing for a while.
"Did he really let us go?"
But Gao Changgong obviously refused to even let him see Gao Xiaolin at that time, what was it that made him change his mind?
"Can you ......tell me everything that happened after I was unconscious?"
Gao Xiaolin nodded, "You don't ask, I have to tell you, how can you be so stupid, in order to be with me, cut your wrists and commit suicide, do you know how dangerous it is for you to do this, if it weren't for the superb medical skills of the Tai Doctor to save you, I am afraid that I will not be able to see you in this life......"
Gao Xiaolin had tears in her eyes, leaned on Gu Zimo's shoulder, and said with a crying voice: "The fourth brother probably saw that you did not hesitate to cut your wrists and commit suicide in order to be with me, and was moved by you, so I let you go away with me freely...... Ah Mo, I really didn't expect that you would do this for me, with you loving me so much in this life, Lin'er has nothing else to ask for......"
"It turned out to be because of this ......"
Gu Zimo couldn't describe his mood at the moment.
Gao Changgong was actually moved because of his suicide?
For some reason, Gu Zimo suddenly remembered the time when he was injured by gangsters in Yecheng, and Gao Changgong took care of him personally afterwards.
Suddenly, I noticed that something was wrong.
It shouldn't be like this, if it was under normal circumstances, after Gao Changgong was so seriously injured, even if he intended to fulfill himself and Gao Xiaolin, he would not let himself and Gao Xiaolin leave in such a hurry.
Could it be that something else is going on?
"Xiaolin, let the carriage turn around, let's go back to Quanyong City, shall we go back?"
Gao Xiaolin's hand holding Gu Zimo's arm stiffened suddenly, she raised her head and looked at Gu Zimo in surprise, "Ah Mo, we came out with great difficulty, why do you want to ......?"
"I don't know, I don't know why...... My heart is very uneasy, something has happened, something must have happened, Xiaolin, I must go back! β
Gu Zimo's eyes were firm, and Gao Xiaolin's hand holding his arm suddenly let go weakly.
"Amo, do you know what it means for you to go back now? If the fourth brother changes his mind, you and I will never be able to go again, do you know what you are doing? β
"I know, but I have to go back, Xiaolin, Gao Changgong him...... If you really change your mind, don't worry, I will definitely protect you with death and let you leave safely......"
"Amo, why are you so stupid! You ......"
"Xiaolin, I'm sorry, if you don't want to go back, I'll go back myself, just let the carriage stop here."
Gu Zimo was about to get up as he spoke, but he fell back into the carriage because of excessive blood loss and weakness.
The tears in Gao Xiaolin's eyes finally couldn't help but fall, "Fool, Amo, you are really a fool." β
Taking a breath, Gao Xiaolin wiped away her tears and said to the groom outside the car: "Go back to Quanyongcheng." β
Back in Quanyong City, it was already a few days later.
For some reason, it was clear that he hadn't been away for a long time, but Gu Zimo felt that the entire city was inexplicably depressed.
The original excitement had long since disappeared, and when the carriage stopped at the gate of the Lanling Palace, when he got off the carriage and saw the traces of the ruins of the Lanling Palace, he suddenly understood something.
Something went wrong...... Something really happened......
If it weren't for something wrong, how would Gao Changgong let him go.
He suddenly remembered what Gao Changgong once said: "If one day, this king can't keep you, he will definitely let you go." β
"Your Highnessββ! Your Highnessβ"
Gu Zimo shouted loudly, but no one responded to him.
Gao Xiaolin got out of the carriage and took a cloak to put it on for him, "Ah Mo, fourth brother, he should no longer be in Quanyong City......
"What happened! What the hell is going on......"
"Although I don't know what happened, it must be a big deal, otherwise, the fourth brother's palace would not have become like this...... Amo, it's not a good place to stay for long, let's leave quickly......"
"No, I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving......"
Gu Zimo pushed Gao Xiaolin away and walked towards the palace, Gao Xiaolin chased after him, "Amo, don't go." β
Gu Zimo didn't stop, as if the palace in front of him, even if it was Yama Hell, he was not afraid.
The past scenery in the palace is long gone, let alone a single figure, and there is not even a trace of vitality.
The plants and trees withered and covered with dust, and even the plum trees in the courtyard withered.
When he came to the familiar Ink Garden and Gong Garden, the furnishings inside were still the same, but there seemed to be something that could no longer be restored.
"Your Highness...... Your Highness...... Zimo is back, where are you...... Where......"
Gu Zimo squatted on the ground next to the couch, and he stared blankly at the corners of the room.
Gao Changgong likes to sit on the chair by the window and read a book, when he reads, he is always used to frowning, seemingly serious, but he will always find himself making small movements, and even poke himself very hatefully.
The tall and long man who would read a book in his room and see it late and would come in through the window and get into his bed......
I always feel that he will suddenly reappear, like in memory, with a cold face, as if others owe him, but he will always warm the quilt for him.
However, for three days and three nights, Gu Zimo stayed here, but he never saw him again.
"Your Highness...... Your Highness...... Are you really ...... Won't it come back? β
Before Gu Zimo felt that his consciousness had dissipated, there seemed to be a familiar figure shaking his shoulder, and he wanted to see that face clearly, but he couldn't see anything.
When he woke up, he was already lying in a clean and tidy inn.
Rubbing his dizzy head, the door was pushed open, Gao Xiaolin walked in with a decoction, and when he saw that he was awake, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Amo, you scared me to death......"
"Hyo-rim...... How did I end up here? Am I not in the Lanling Palace? I ...... "The familiar figure I saw in the palace at that time, wasn't it Gao Changgong?"
"You can't go there, the palace has been sealed, and now there are heavy soldiers, so you can't get close." Gao Xiaolin blew the decoction and handed it to Gu Zimo, who took it, "I'll do it myself." β
Gao Xiaolin watched Gu Zimo drink all the medicine, and then showed a smile.
Gu Zimo looked worried, and after a long time, he spoke, "Xiaolin, can you help me find someone?" β
"Absolutely. Who are you looking for? β
"Evergreen, you should know him."
"He's fine, I'm going to ask someone to come over." Gao Xiaolin got up and walked out.
Gu Zimo leaned on the head of the bed, his brows furrowed, would Chang Qing know what was going on?
Gao Changgong, where did he go?
Why did the palace fall into such a dilapidated state?
Could it be that someone in the court is in trouble?
But Gao Changgong has a heavy army, and he shouldn't have been hit so hard in just a few days.
What's going on......
Gu Zimo couldn't imagine what was going on these days.
He could only speculate like this, but he couldn't think of anything if he wanted to break his head.
When it was dark, Gao Xiaolin pushed open the door and walked in.
Gu Zimo didn't see Chang Qing's figure, Gao Xiaolin shook his head at him, "I'm sorry, Ah Mo, I couldn't find Chang Qing, he and his family seem to have suddenly disappeared...... I also went to Gu Mansion, and so did your father and mother...... It's gone......"
"Even Changqing is gone...... "Changqing, the only one who can get clues, is also missing.
Gu Zimo's whole heart became heavier and heavier.
Gao Xiaolin sat beside him and held his hand: "Amo, Quanyongcheng is in chaos right now, let's continue to stay here, I'm afraid it will be a lot of inappropriate, otherwise, we will also leave here first, and wait for the turmoil to subside before coming ......back."
Gu Zimo didn't answer Gao Xiaolin, and after a while, Gao Xiaolin said again: "Perhaps, we can go to Yecheng and find an opportunity to inquire about the situation at that time, maybe we can know what happened!" Now we stay here, we can't ask anything, and we're worrying in vain. β
Gu Zimo's eyes finally regained a little clarity, he looked at Gao Xiaolin, saw Gao Xiaolin's sincere face, and nodded, "Go to Yecheng." β
