Chapter 21: I Won't Force You

"You know what? For so many years, you have been my only support, I don't know how to express my feelings for you, but I really love you, whether you believe it or not, I will not marry you in this life! Gu Tingyu said.

He didn't want to cheat on Cold Frost, and he didn't bother to cheat Cold Frost, and since he decided to be with Cold Frost, he shouldn't hide it.

Hearing Gu Tingyu's words, Leng Shuang's heart sank suddenly, for so many years, she had been looking forward to such a scene, but when this moment really came, she felt fear and sadness.

"Gu Tingyu, I ......" Leng Shuang said bitterly, but her throat seemed to be choked, and she couldn't say anything.

"Frost, don't reject me, no matter what choice you make, I respect your decision." Gu Tingyu said softly.

"I ......" Cold Frost stopped talking.

Gu Tingyu saw the appearance of Leng Shuang, his heart ached, but he still waited patiently.

Leng Shuang closed his eyes and said for a long time before he spoke: "I'm in a mess now, I want to go back to the house and think about it, if we really want to be together, you have to promise me two things, otherwise even if we are together, we will torture each other." ”

When Gu Tingyu heard Leng Shuang say this, a touch of joy surged in his heart, he held Leng Shuang's cold hand and said, "I will definitely promise you, don't worry, I won't force you." ”

"Yes." Cold Frost answered softly.

When Gu Tingyu saw Leng Shuang's appearance, he sighed and took Leng Shuang into his arms.

Leng Shuang leaned on Gu Tingyu's arms and slowly fell asleep, she was really tired this time, although her body was fine, but being poisoned still made her tired.

When Leng Shuang woke up, it was already the next night, she opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar house, she knew that she was getting farther and farther away from the capital.

"Miss, you're awake." The little maid saw that Leng Shuang had woken up, so she walked in and waited for Leng Shuang to wash up.

Leng Shuang drank the hot porridge handed over by the little maid, and felt much more comfortable, but the hunger in his stomach was unbearable.

"Miss, the slave maid goes to the kitchen to get something to eat, you wait a moment." The little maid said with a smile, and withdrew.

After a while, the little maid walked in with her meal.

While eating, Leng Shuang asked, "How long have I been in a coma?" ”

"It's been six hours." The little maid replied.

"Where have we been for so long?" Cold Frost asked, eating her meal.

"The slave maid didn't know, when the slave maid went to the toilet last night, I saw that Miss You were kidnapped, the slave and the maid immediately ran to report to the official, but I didn't expect the official to come, but later, they tied the young lady to the tree, and then took the young lady to fly the wall away, but in the end the robbers seemed to be injured, and then Miss you fainted. Where are we now? Cold Frost continued to ask.

The little maid replied: "The slave doesn't know, anyway, this inn is very remote, and there is no one on weekdays, miss, why don't we find an inn to live in first, and wait for the old lady's people to come and save us." ”

"Okay." Cold Frost nodded, she also felt that in this situation, they could only stay here for the time being.

Gu Tingyu and Leng Shuang rested for half a month, and finally recovered, and at this time, the old lady also came.

"Old lady, you're here." When Leng Shuang saw the old lady coming, he quickly knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Hurry up, don't be polite, how is your kid?" The old lady took Leng Shuang's hand and asked with concern.

"I'm fine, I'm worried about you, I don't know who sent those gangsters, they actually dared to break ground on Tai Sui's head, it's just boring!" The old lady scolded angrily.

Cold Frost lowered her eyes and said, "Old lady, I ......"

"You don't have to worry, this matter is left to me to deal with, I have wronged you during this time, you first cultivate your body here,

Leng Shuang was framed in the previous life by the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo family, and in this life she came to the Zhenguo Mansion to use the identity of the eldest daughter of the Zhenguo Mansion to find the enemy and avenge the dead relatives.

"I won't live up to your expectations, and I'll definitely find out those gangsters." Gu Tingyu said.

Leng Shuang nodded, after getting along for the past few days, Leng Shuang found that Gu Tingyu was indeed a man worthy of trust.

"Tingyu, I want to go to a banquet." Leng Shuang suddenly raised his head and looked at Gu Tingyu and said.

Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What?" Changed your mind so quickly? ”

Leng Shuang shook his head and said, "No. ”

The reason why Leng Shuang wanted to participate in this banquet was actually because she wanted to take this opportunity to meet the emperor and then expose Lin Wanrou's mask.

"I want to meet the emperor." Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu and said.

Gu Tingyu was slightly stunned, "See the emperor?" What are you going to do? ”

"I have my own plans for this matter, so don't worry about it, just help me find out how my father and mother were wronged in the first place, I always feel that this matter has nothing to do with Lin Wanrou."

Cold Frost said through gritted teeth.

"Okay, you can do whatever you want, I will support you, if you want to kill her, you can do it at any time." Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang's resolute gaze, he knew that once Leng Shuang decided, there was no way to stop it.

"What about you, you also have to go with me, I don't want you to get involved, you are a dignified prince, if you are recognized, you will definitely cause trouble." Cold Frost said.

"I wish they all knew me." Gu Tingyu said.

Leng Shuang glared at Gu Tingyu and said, "Don't mess around, this banquet is a palace banquet, and the emperor will announce my marriage to you." ”

Gu Tingyu's face turned pale, and he asked in disbelief: "This is the emperor's will?" ”

"yes." Cold Frost said.

As soon as Leng Shuang finished speaking, there was a knock on the door: "Knock knock." ”

"Come in." Cold Frost shouted.

"Girl, the old lady asked me to tell you that the clothes for this palace banquet have been prepared, let you change your clothes and go over." The little maid said respectfully.

"Yes, I see." Cold Frost answered.

The maid turned and left.

Cold Frost stood up and went to change clothes behind the screen.

When Leng Shuang finished changing his clothes, he came out from behind the screen, and looked at his face in the mirror, and Leng Shuang's face turned pale in an instant.

This face is not his original face at all!

Cold Frost took a deep breath and walked over to the table and sat down.

Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang, reached out and pinched the tip of Leng Shuang's nose, and said dotingly: "Shuang'er, this banquet is for me, you can participate in it with peace of mind, no matter what happens, I will protect you." ”

Leng Shuang looked at Gu Tingyu, nodded, then took Gu Tingyu's hand and said, "Well, I listen to you." ”

……

The place where the palace banquet was held was in the Purple Cloud Hall to the west of the palace, which was a palace dedicated to receiving distinguished guests, and it was not open to anyone at ordinary times.

Outside the Purple Cloud Palace, Leng Shuang tightly grasped Gu Tingyu's hand.

At this moment, Cold Frost's heart was beating like thunder, she was afraid, but she couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Relax." Gu Tingyu patted the back of Leng Shuang's hand.

Gu Tingyu took Leng Shuang and walked inside, along the way, Leng Shuang lowered her head, for fear of being seen by others, although now the whole capital is full of Leng Shuang's scandal, but she still doesn't dare to show up, she is afraid, afraid of causing an uproar.

Leng Shuang held Gu Tingyu's hand tightly, and the two finally walked to the hall of the Purple Cloud Palace.

"The concubine asks the emperor for peace."

Leng Shuang looked at Lin Wanrou who was kneeling on the ground, her fists clenched, and her eyes were full of anger and resentment.

Gu Tingyu protected the cold frost behind him, he glanced at the people kneeling on the ground lightly, and then stopped his gaze on Lin Wanrou's body.

"Lord Wang, why are you here?" Lin Wanrou said in surprise.

Gu Tingyu hooked his lips and smiled: "This king is here to pick up Shuang'er, what, isn't the royal sister welcome?" ”

Gu Tingyu's words fell, and the people kneeling on the ground threw envious and hateful eyes towards Leng Shuang.

A smile rose at the corner of Leng Shuang's mouth, and she slowly walked to Gu Tingyu's side and grabbed Gu Tingyu's arm.

"Of course you are welcome." Lin Wanrou barely managed to squeeze out a smile.

Leng Shuang glanced at Lin Wanrou, and then said, "Sister, since you said so, I will take Tingyu back first." ”

"Slow down and don't send it." Lin Wan said with a soft smile.

Leng Shuang smiled, then turned to Gu Tingyu and said, "Let's go." ”

After that, Leng Shuang took Gu Tingyu and walked outside, and when the two walked outside the hall, they happened to see Lin Yanran coming in through the door.

When Lin Yanran saw Gu Tingyu and Cold Frost, her steps paused slightly, and her eyes stared directly at Cold Frost.

Cold Frost also looked at Lin Yanran in a daze.

I haven't seen her for four years, Lin Yanran is still sixteen or seventeen years old, her skin is as tender as jade, and her facial features are delicate and beautiful, but her face is a little less warm, but a little more cold.

Seeing Lin Yanran's appearance, Leng Shuang's heart suddenly had a strange feeling, she always felt that Lin Yanran seemed to be different from before.

Gu Tingyu looked at Lin Yanran and frowned slightly.

Lin Yanran noticed Gu Tingyu's gaze, restrained her thoughts, walked to Gu Tingyu's side with a smile, and said, "Brother, why did you come to the palace banquet tonight." ”

Gu Tingyu frowned, didn't pay attention to Lin Yanran, but turned his head to look at Leng Shuang, and said, "Shuang'er, I'll send you back to the room first." ”

Cold Frost nodded, "Well, okay." ”

Watching Gu Tingyu and Leng Shuang leave, a touch of ruthlessness flashed on Lin Yanran's face.

"County Lord, let's go back to the room." Cui Xiang walked to Lin Yanran's side, lowered her voice and said, "This Gu Tingyu is really stupid, he actually brought cold frost to the palace banquet. ”

"Hmph, this Gu Tingyu is not to be afraid, he just relied on the power of the Gu family to climb to the position of the crown prince, but he is just a grass people, where can he compare to our Lin family." Lin Yanran said disdainfully.

"Yes, Miss Wise." Cui Xiang said flatteringly: "The slave is also happy for our Lin family, although this Gu Tingyu has a noble status, but after all, he is a useless gentleman." ”

Lin Yanran pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "Let's go." ”

The two of them walked towards the house.

"Frost, you see you've lost a lot of weight lately." Gu Tingyu touched Leng Shuang's emaciated cheeks, and said worriedly: "Shuang'er, you have to remember that you are not only the eldest lady of the Gu family, but also the princess of Zhennan, you have to learn to be strong." ”

"Well, I understand."

Gu Tingyu nodded and said, "You are the only concubine of the Gu Mansion, and the days to come will be long, you don't have to be afraid, I will always be by your side." ”

"I believe in you." Cold Frost's eyes turned red, she knew that she was not worthy of Gu Tingyu, but as long as she wanted, she could do anything for Gu Tingyu.

"Fool, what are you crying about?" Gu Tingyu raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Leng Shuang's eyes.

His movements were gentle, as if he were wiping away rare treasures.

"Tingyu, I'...... I'm afraid I'm doing something wrong. Cold Frost's tears became more and more fierce, as if he was going to cry and faint in the next second.

"You can't be wrong, fool, trust me."

"Hmm." Cold Frost nodded vigorously with tears in her eyes.

"By the way, what's going on with your arm?" Gu Tingyu suddenly remembered something, his tone suddenly became sharp, and he asked.

"I ......" Cold Frost bit her lip and couldn't speak.

"You don't have to explain, I believe in you, as long as you promise me a word, I will promise you whatever you say."

"What?"

"No matter what happens, we have to trust each other." Gu Tingyu said softly.

"Hmm." Cold Frost responded obediently.
