Chapter 405: Thinking of the Way Back
She didn't understand why she said such a cold sentence as soon as she opened her mouth, just like she couldn't tell why she was succumbing to Gu Zhenhai, and actually handed over all the treasures, including the piece of blood amber that she carried with her and never left her.
Knowing that Gu Zhenhai had the idea of destroying the treasure, she still handed over the treasure to him, and insisted on doing so, without even discussing it with her only companion, Bai Wutong.
It's no wonder that Bai Wutong followed her back for so long but never said a word, and no wonder she asked such a question. Bai Wutong is to blame her, she really did something that shouldn't be.
"Princess, do you regret it?" Bai Wutong raised his eyes to look at her, and did not answer the rhetorical question.
"I ......" Gu Wanwan was very hesitant, she didn't know how to answer.
"The princess doesn't seem to regret it." Seeing that she couldn't answer, Bai Wutong simply answered for her.
"That's because I want to take a gamble!" Gu Wanwan closed her eyes and replied, maybe even she herself didn't want to face such an answer!
But this answer, which even she herself was unwilling to face, Bai Wutong took it very seriously.
"And how likely does the princess think it is to win?" Bai Wutong asked her.
"I ...... I'm not sure! Gu Wanwan hung her head, like a child who had done something wrong.
She could feel Bai Wutong's cold eyes fall on her, but she didn't have the courage to meet them, she was afraid of seeing disappointment, even though she knew how disappointing what she had done.
She put all the hard work and expectations for the future on a gamble that she didn't have any certainty.
If she loses, she won't even have anything. Gu Zhenhai not only won't return the treasure to her, but may also sweep her out of the house. What face will she have to face the people who are eagerly waiting for her return? The world is so big, where can it be her place?
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt as if the sky above her was about to fall.
But the sky didn't fall, only a sigh from the white sycamore, and that sigh seemed to be so long, almost so long that her heart slowed down because of it.
"It's okay, princess, even if you lose the bet, it doesn't matter." Bai Wutong suddenly stood up and said, his voice was like a spring breeze.
Gu Wanwan raised her head and looked at Bai Wutong, who was a head taller than her, his body was so tall, as if telling her that even if the sky fell, he would hold it for her first.
"You, what did you say?" What she wants to ask is that you are sincere in saying this?
But asking such a thing felt like doubting him, he was such a person who was wholeheartedly for her, and would indulge her even if she did something too excessive and ridiculous, what reason did she have to doubt him?
But she really couldn't believe her ears, hoping that Bai Wutong would say it again.
"Actually, Weichen should believe in the princess, it makes sense for the princess to do that, even if we don't hand over the treasure to Gu Xiangye, we have no way to get the treasure, but give it to Gu Xiangye, we still have a chance to gamble."
Gu Zhenhai's temperament is definitely soft rather than hard, if they insist on going their own way, not only will they not be able to get the merman's tears, but they will also not be able to get the treasure. So this choice of the princess, although risky, is the fastest way to help them achieve their wishes.
"That's what you really think?" After asking this, Gu Wanwan was afraid that he would misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained, "Don't get me wrong, I didn't doubt what you meant, but I didn't talk to me before thinking about you, I should be angry with me, right?" ”
"No, Weichen is not angry with the princess." In Gu Wanwan's surprised gaze, Bai Wutong continued, "Weichen just wants to take the princess where to go if he loses the bet?" ”
"Where do you want to take me?" Gu Wanwan asked cautiously. What he wanted to say was to take her to the people who were loyal to Xiliang to repent, right?
"There are a lot of places, is it a bustling place, or a place with beautiful mountains and rivers? Or a quiet place? Bai Wutong smiled lightly, looking like he had a hard time choosing.
Gu Wanwan looked at him stupidly: "What are you taking me to these places for?" She didn't dare to think about the reason anymore.
In fact, these days, taking the princess to go around to hunt for treasures, Weichen is very sorry in his heart, and he wants to end this life as soon as possible. If you can really get the treasure, it is really good to revive Xiliang, so that the princess can live a stable and peaceful life. But if he loses the bet this time and loses everything, then Weichen really wants to take the princess to a place where he wants to spend the second half of his life with the princess. ”
Bai Wutong looked out the window, the scenery at night was only decorated with a few lights, and he couldn't see it really, but his eyes were blurred, as if he was looking into the distant future: "Weichen no longer wants the princess to live that kind of frightened and intriguing life, but he doesn't know what the princess wants to be?" Whether it is a bustling and crowded downtown area, or a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, or you want to find a place to live in seclusion. With the princess's temperament, she shouldn't be able to stand the loneliness, right? But if it's too noisy, the princess won't like it! ”
His voice was like a murmur of water, crashing against the stones in the river, bringing a string of clear and bright sounds.
Gu Wanwan suddenly felt that although the sun was setting and the night was coming, it was also a different scenery. Because there is a person around her who is wholeheartedly good for her, who brings her infinite warmth.
"White Sycamore, thank you!" When he looked at Bai Wutong, Gu Wanwan's eyes were already filled with tears, "If you really lose the bet, we will go wherever you want." ”
If she really loses everything, then she will only have Bai Wutong, and then they will spend the rest of their lives together!
"With the princess, what you say, Weichen is really happy!" Bai Wutong looked back at her, and the smile on his face slowly unfolded like sunshine.
What a fool, she did a wrong thing that didn't think about him at all, but he still protected her like this, in order to let go of the big stone in his heart, he actually tried his best to comfort her.
He was so good to her, she didn't even know how to repay him. It would be nice to have him as an older brother! Gu Wanwan sighed in her heart, she almost said that she wanted to bow to Bai Wutong, but when she thought that having a sister like her would definitely cause trouble all over her body, she endured it!
Early the next morning, Qingcheng and Wuyan came to Gu Wanwan's courtyard.
"Princess, Qingcheng Gongzi and Wuyan are here, get up quickly!" Ling'er knocked on the door and said towards the house.
As soon as she heard Qingcheng's name, Gu Wanwan jumped up from the bed suddenly, and instantly fell asleep. She slept late last night, although Bai Wutong told her to stop caring about the outcome of the bet and just go with the flow, but how could she really go with the flow? This is the most important decision she has made, and the result is related to her future, which must not be overlooked, and she doesn't want to be sorry for Bai Wutong.
And Qingcheng's arrival brought her a ray of light, and she knew that only Qingcheng was willing to help her in the entire Changle Palace. Moreover, Qingcheng is Gu Zhenhai's most proud disciple and the closest person to Gu Zhenhai. His arrival may be to spread the word for Gu Zhenhai.
After Gu Wanwan got dressed, she casually straightened her hair and opened the door. In the courtyard outside the door, Qingcheng and Wuyan stood side by side, both of them with smiles on their faces.
"What do you say? So happy? Gu Wanwan walked towards the two.
"Princess, you just got up, and you haven't combed your hair yet, let Wuyan help you!" Wuyan heard Gu Wanwan's voice, and immediately left Qingcheng and walked towards Gu Wanwan.
"Don't, your body hasn't fully recovered, don't wait for me anymore, I can do this little thing like combing my hair!" Gu Wanwan grabbed her facelessness and said to Ling'er beside her, "Ling'er, go to the house and move a chair." ”
Ling'er quickly moved a chair from the house, and Gu Wanwan hurriedly pulled Wuyan to sit down.
"Princess, Wuyan's illness is almost better, don't be so nervous." Wuyan wanted to refuse, but was still pressed on the chair by Gu Wanwan.
"When you get better, you should have a good rest, don't toss yourself anymore!" It's just better, just continue to toss yourself, this shameless is really too uncaring for his body.
"Princess, since Yanyan's illness is not cured, let Ling'er help you comb your hair, okay?" Ling'er took a step forward and said with a smile.
"I'll tangle my hair later!" She didn't mind if she didn't comb her hair, but she made them anxious one by one. She really didn't have the leisure to care about this now, she cared more about other things.
"Senior brother, do you mean that you came here to Master?" Gu Wanwan didn't beat around the bush, and looked at Qingcheng and asked the question in her heart.
"Uh......" Qingcheng didn't expect Gu Wanwan to ask this question as soon as he came, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
But his look of surprise had already answered.
"No!" Gu Wanwan's face couldn't hide the disappointment, she thought that what she did yesterday had moved Gu Zhenhai, so Gu Zhenhai sent Qingcheng to bring her a message, but she didn't expect it to be her carelessness.
"Senior sister, this matter is no more than other things, and it is necessary to give the master some more time to think about it." Qingcheng saw her expression of loss, and hurriedly persuaded her.
Wuyan also hurriedly got up from the chair and knelt down towards Gu Wanwan: "Sister, it's Wuyan who is sorry for you!" ”
"Oh, what do you do? Hurry up, get up quickly......" Gu Wanwan was startled, and hurriedly helped Wuyan up from the ground.
Wuyan still apologized vigorously, Gu Wanwan stopped her with a straight face: "What does this matter have to do with you, it's all my father's decision." ”
"No, that's my dad, and he has a lot to do with me." Wuyan shook his head, and there was still uncontrollable guilt on his face.
"Don't say this kind of thing, in my mind, there is no reason for a father to repay a daughter's debts, even if there is, that person is also my father, and the wrong things he did have something to do with me, right?" Gu Wanwan smiled bitterly, even if it is an adoptive father, it is also a father.
If Wuyan feels that she is at fault, then isn't she also at fault?
