The eldest princess's mansion, a small building in the middle of the lake.

The eldest princess looked hurried, walked through the bamboo corridor, and came to the gate of Gu Ci's courtyard, just when she saw Gu Ci lowering her head and arranging her sleeves, she tilted her head and said something to Lin Yuan.

He seemed to be laughing.

The eldest princess was stunned, Gu Ci rarely smiled over the years, at least in front of herself. At first, she tried hard to make him happy, and he wanted to live on this small island in the middle of the lake and be isolated from the rest of the world, so she ordered someone to fill in this natural lake. Later, when he became more and more dull, and did not like to communicate with people, and did not even allow anyone but his own cronies to go to the island, she ordered that no one should come near, even herself, and every time she came, she was anxious for fear of upsetting him.

Afterward...... Gu Ci became more and more dead and dull, and she became less and less. It's not that she doesn't like it, it's not that she doesn't worry, but she really doesn't know how to get along with this son anymore.

The former genius boy fell into the dust overnight, she was distressed, she was sad, she felt empathy, so she even spoke carefully in front of him, for fear that a word would sting his scarred and bloody heart.

On days like this, they hold on for too long, their nerves are too tight, and all of them are tired and tired...... Bordering on numbness.

Again, numbly...... It's also almost habitual.

Who knows, I heard this morning that he was going to move out, or I learned from the people of Xiaozhu in the middle of the lake that he had bought a house in the eastern suburbs, and it had been put aside for several years, and it had been renovated a few months ago, and it had been completed recently, so he was going to move out.

Such a big event, for several months before and after, he just kept silent, until everything was finished, he sent someone to come over and say something?

At this moment, the faint smile on Gu Ci's face became more and more dazzling.

Is it because you're leaving here that you're so happy?

With her toes against the outside of the threshold, she didn't go in, but stood outside the door and whispered, "Ah Ci." ”

The other party tilted his head and looked at it, and the curvature at the corner of his mouth dissipated without a trace, "Mother." "Respectful, calm, but also ...... Cold shoulder.

They are like a mother and son who are extremely far away, obviously caring about each other, but have forgotten how to care for each other, and they don't know what the other person wants and what they can give.

It's like the distance against the threshold at this moment, which is the safe distance they find after a long period of numbness.

Go further, hurt others, take a step back, hurt yourself. They were at such a distance familiar to each other, carefully caring for each other.

And now, the people who are within that safe distance are leaving and going to the eastern suburbs. The eldest princess held the door frame with one hand, "You...... Are you leaving? The voice was a little sharp, and the hand that grabbed the door frame turned white vigorously.

Gu Ci was calm, "Hmm." It's in the eastern suburbs, not far away. My mother is free and can come to see me at any time. When I'm free, I'll come back often. ”

She knew that the house in the eastern suburbs was indeed not far away, and she was just around the corner from the city gate, but ...... Not the same. She was so sad that she asked him, "When did you start preparing?" ”

According to the next person's reply, it is said that it has been bought for a long time, and it only started to be renovated a few months ago, so why did it suddenly start to renovate and want to live alone from the house? She thought of a possibility, "You...... Got a girl you like? You can rest assured, your mother is not an unreasonable person, no matter which girl you have your eye on, as long as her family background is innocent and she cares about you, her mother will never have any opinions. ”

She thought, in this imperial capital family, she didn't see anyone Gu Ci had a close relationship with, if he really had a favorite girl now, it was very likely that it was not a woman from the hairpin family. However, Gu Ci's temperament, as long as she is not lonely and old, she is very pleased as a mother. Everyone in the imperial capital says that she is herself, and this eldest princess has a higher vision than the top, and no one looks down on her, but in fact, who is herself...... It's because he doesn't want to.

If he really does...... The eldest princess's eyes gradually brightened.

Gu Ci shook his head, "Since I am an official in the court, there will always be movement between me and my colleagues in the future, and I will live here...... Square peg. ”

The lintel of the eldest princess's mansion is too high, and it is a women's mansion, so it is indeed inconvenient for officials to come and go.

The eldest princess naturally knows the truth, but ...... She frowned, she always felt that things shouldn't be like this, let's talk about Gu Ci's temperament first, even if he is now in the Criminal Department, to put it bluntly, it was the emperor who gave him a false position on the surface, and he didn't plan that he would do practical things.

What's more, it's still official exchanges? After a few months as an official, when did he interact with officials of the Criminal Department?

If you want to talk about exchanges, it's just a Xie Jiang, a Taifu, the Shi family usually resigns themselves to the past, Xie Xiaogongzi...... The eldest princess's mansion comes and goes freely, and many times there are people who don't follow the usual path and go directly over the wall.

"Ah Ci ......," she called, trying to use some subtle words as much as possible, so as not to hurt his self-esteem, "you...... Your health is not good, and your mother is not at ease. ”

Gu Ci was silent, lowered his head and fiddled with the jade pendant on his waist, and then slowly looked up at the eldest princess, and said, "Mother, I'm not a porcelain doll." ”

"I'm ......" the eldest princess opened her mouth, looking a little panicked by someone who had been punctured the secret, and after a while, she said, "Mother, mother is just worried...... Didn't say you were a porcelain doll...... You are Gu Ci, you are a young general, you are a brilliant young man in this imperial capital, you are just ...... You're just sick and you'll be fine soon...... Oh no, Master Qing Ming said you're already fine. ”

Porcelain dolls, fragile.

The relationship between their mother and son has always been like this, cautious, side-knocking, and apprehensive.

"Mother. I said that I am not a porcelain doll, not a body, but a ...... here" He pointed to the location of his heart, and he was going to leave today, and there were some things that he was still going to say, "Mother these years...... When facing his son, he was too cautious and careful about his words. In his eyes, the son actually didn't feel good. ”

"My body, I know it myself. I didn't keep it in my mind how many times the imperial hospital had prepared, and the world said that I was a sick man, and I might be gone one day......"

"Shut up!" Before the words fell, the eldest princess was furious and scolded and stopped, "What's the aftermath?!" What sick seedlings!? If it weren't for my son's great achievements in Dacheng's conquest of the Quartet, where would they be able to chew their tongues and gossip like this? ! ”

After speaking, he was stunned.

Momentarily at a loss, "I...... For the mother......"

The foot against the threshold fell within the threshold.

Safe distances are broken.
