"What?"

"Shhhhh

The man hiding on the branch panicked instantly, and he hurried out of the branch.

After the person walked away, Leng Shuang breathed a sigh of relief and turned around and chased in the direction Gu Tingyu left.

Gu Tingyu walked all the way to the study, Leng Shuang hurriedly followed him to the study, the door of the study was slammed shut, Gu Tingyu stood at the window, standing with his hands in his hands, he turned around and looked at Leng Shuang, and his tone was cold, "Leng Shuang, this time, you have to give Lone an explanation."

Leng Shuang hung her head and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, your subordinates just don't want to marry Your Highness, if Your Highness doesn't allow it, you can leave your subordinates," Leng Shuang raised her head and looked at Gu Tingyu, she bit her lip and said word by word, "I just ask Your Highness to let my brother go, my brother is innocent."

Gu Tingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the cold frost, this woman is really ruthless.

"What if I divorce you?"

Leng Shuang raised his eyes, "The subordinates are willing to accept the punishment, even if His Highness divides the five horses of his subordinates, the subordinates have no complaints."

Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang's face, a trace of strange emotions flashed in his heart, he pursed his lips, and finally didn't say anything, and left the study directly.

After Gu Tingyu left, Leng Shuang slowly squatted on the ground, tears sliding down her eyes.

Early the next morning, Gu Tingyu went out with the guards, Leng Shuang sat on the bed, looking at a letter on the table, she picked it up, opened the envelope, looked at the contents inside, and showed a relieved smile on her face, "Sister, you did a good job this time, not only protected me, but also saved so many children, I remember this kindness."

Cold Frost's hand clenched the letter paper, and a touch of cruelty crossed her eyes, she would not let go of any of those who had bullied the original owner.

Cold Frost hid the letter under her pillow, and she lay on the bed, the memories of the original owner coming to mind.

The original owner is the daughter of the richest man in the capital, the daughter of the Liu family, because the relationship between Prime Minister Liu and his wife is very good, so the two have two sons, the second oldest in the cold frost, Prime Minister Liu Cheng is nearly 100 years old, but he is still a romantic man, he married the wife surnamed Xia, Xia was born in the family of the eunuch, his father is the left minister, and his mother is the concubine Niangniang of today's saint, although Xia is only a concubine, but he is deeply favored, Xia in order to help Prime Minister Liu Cheng seize power, he tried his best, but unfortunately Prime Minister Liu did not appreciate it, and even hated her.

The original owner's father was a military general, so he also had a lot of respect for the Xia family, and he was also Xia's subordinate.

The original owner's personality is like her father, jealous and hateful, jealous of all those who have hurt her, her brother, that is, the original owner's father.

Soon after she was born, the original owner's mother died of illness, and she was raised by her grandmother, until she was nine years old, her father had great achievements, so the emperor gave her a marriage and gave the Xia family to her father, and she was raised by her grandmother.

Mama Grandma treated her very well, taught her to learn etiquette rules, and taught her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but Mama Grandma's life was thin when the original owner was twelve years old

Gu Tingyu walked behind Leng Shuang and hugged her, his chin rested on her shoulder, and said gently, "If you like, we will come back every spring or summer in the future."

"If you have time, I can take you around," Leng Frost said as she looked sideways at him, "Anyway, now that the relationship between the two of us has been made public, there's nothing to shy away from."

Cold Frost's voice was soft and glutinous, and the words he said also warmed Gu Tingyu's heart, as if the winter was blowing wisps of warm current, making his originally gloomy mood much more comfortable.

"Okay!"

Leng Shuang smiled, she stretched out her hand to surround Gu Tingyu, her face was pressed against his chest, listening to his powerful beating heart, and a sense of happiness surged in her heart.

"I want to eat barbecue," Leng Shuang suddenly raised his head, his eyes shining at Gu Tingyu.

"Good!" Gu Tingyu said dotingly.

Leng Shuang jumped up happily, she reached out and hugged Gu Tingyu's waist, and buried her face in Gu Tingyu's chest.

At this moment, Cold Frost suddenly felt that himself

is the luckiest girl in the world, to be able to meet such a man, even if he can't stay with her for a long time, at least he can have this warm happiness.

She also hopes that she can be with Gu Tingyu for a long time.

Although she has never been in love, she knows that loving someone is actually very simple.

"Lord Wang," the butler hurriedly walked into the room, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, "Lord Wang, there is news from the palace that the queen mother is critically ill."

"Niang Niang is critically ill?" Gu Tingyu opened his eyes suddenly, he stood up from his chair, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

"It is said that the queen mother suddenly fell ill last night, and this morning the imperial doctor diagnosed it as angina, and the hospital has already sent someone into the palace, and the emperor has also gone."

"You prepare things first," Gu Tingyu commanded, and he walked quickly outside, he had a sense of foreboding in his heart, and he always felt that something was not good.

The people in the palace were busy, and Cold Frost stood in the corner, and she looked at all this in front of her, and her heart was filled with bitterness.

The queen mother is a *** and a high-profile existence, but her husband still ignores her like this.

Gu Tingyu rushed in from outside the palace wearing a dark brocade robe, his face was pale, and he exuded a strong smell of wine, Leng Shuang frowned when he looked at Gu Tingyu's appearance, he must have been drunk like this.

"Lord Wang," Leng Shuang held Gu Tingyu's arm, "You go back to the room first, and the concubine will help you back to the room."

Gu Tingyu's eyes were misty, and he grabbed Leng Shuang's arm, "Ah Shuang, don't go,"

Gu Tingyu's strength is very strong, Leng Shuang can't pull Gu Tingyu at all, Leng Shuang's heart hurts and anger, but he is reluctant to blame him.

"Lord Wang, you let go," Leng Shuang shouted patiently, but Gu Tingyu didn't pay attention to her at all, still grabbing her arm hard, Leng Shuang was stunned for a moment, and then a sarcastic smile rose on the corner of his mouth.

Leng Shuang shook off Gu Tingyu's arm and ran towards the other side, but Gu Tingyu followed her footsteps closely and didn't stop, his eyes staring at the front.

Gu Tingyu's legs were long, and he surpassed Leng Shuang in a few steps, and Leng Shuang was forced to speed up, and while running, he turned back, "Gu Tingyu, are you crazy?!"

"You are not allowed to go!" Gu Tingyu dragged Leng Shuang's arm and pressed her whole person against the wall, he leaned down and approached Leng Shuang, "Ah Shuang, I like you, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you were the only person I liked in my life," Gu Tingyu's voice was hoarse, he looked at Leng Shuang, and said seriously, "You tell me, do you like me or not?!"

His voice was hoarse, with forbearance, with trembling, with fear, and even more with despair.

Gu Tingyu was a little scared in his heart, he was afraid that Leng Shuang would reject him.

"Ah Shuang, I beg you, don't refuse me," Gu Tingyu roared, and then brought his lips to Leng Shuang's ear, "You don't know how much I miss you, Ah Shuang, do you know that I look forward to you coming to me every day?"

After Gu Tingyu said this, the tip of Cold Frost's nose turned out to be pantothenic, and she gently pushed him, but Gu Tingyu was like a mountain, unable to break free.

A sense of powerlessness rose in Leng Shuang's heart, he was a prince, and she was just the daughter of a merchant, and the two were destined to be different from each other.

"Lord, you hurt me." Cold Frost shouted aggrievedly, her tone full of grievances.

Gu Tingyu was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little clearer, he let go of Leng Shuang and took a step back, when he looked at Leng Shuang, Leng Shuang's eyes were red, she bit her lip and said stubbornly, "Lord Wang, we are not suitable, I am not worthy of you!"

She didn't dare to look at Gu Tingyu's expression, for fear that Gu Tingyu would scold her, but Gu Tingyu didn't scold her, but reached out and touched her hair, and said, "How can you not be worthy of me?"

When he said this, Leng Shuang's heart hurt slightly, and what he said seemed to be comforting her.

Between them, what is there to be comforted in? He is a dignified prince, and she is just the daughter of a businessman, who is qualified to marry

To him?

A picture appeared in Leng Shuang's head, Gu Tingyu in purple clothes rode a horse, and she sat in the carriage, when he held the reins, the handsome face was indifferent and alienated.

His figure grew farther and farther away until it was completely gone, Cold Frost wiped away her tears, turned around, and no longer looked at his figure, she took a deep breath and turned to walk outside.

She didn't notice that after she left, Gu Tingyu's eyes kept chasing her figure, and only after the cold frost background disappeared did he retract his gaze.

"Someone." Gu Tingyu shouted, and immediately a secret guard appeared in front of him, "Go and find out what happened in the Imperial Garden today."

"Yes, my lord," the guard nodded in response, and vanished.

Gu Tingyu turned around and walked inside.

As soon as Leng Shuang entered the palace, he saw a group of imperial doctors gathered around the bed, they were talking about something, Leng Shuang ignored it and walked straight inside.

She looked at the woman lying on the bed, the woman was wearing a phoenix crown and xia cloak, her face was pale and bloodless, she closed her eyes, and lay quietly on the bed, as if she had fallen asleep.

"Doctor, how is the Imperial Princess?"

The imperial doctor shook his head: "The imperial concubine has fainted, and the old minister is trying to find a way to treat her."

"Doctor, hurry up and find a way,"

"Yes, the princess's daughter, if something goes wrong, our lives will not be saved!"

「……」

Gu Tingyu glanced at the group of imperial doctors kneeling on the ground, and scolded sharply, "Get out of here."

"Yes, yes." The Imperial Doctor retreated tremblingly.

"Ah Shuang," Gu Tingyu held Leng Shuang's shoulder, "Ah Shuang, I really like you, I can't live without you."
