"Miss Leng, your hair accessories are so beautiful." Gu Tingyu couldn't help but praise.

Cold Frost paused, she turned around, and glared at Gu Tingyu with a somewhat ruddy face.

Gu Tingyu smiled, then reached out and touched Cold Frost's earlobe, "Your ears are so red, are you shy?"

"I didn't."

Gu Tingyu smiled and leaned close to her ear, and the warm breath sprayed on her ear, making Cold Frost couldn't help but tremble, her cheeks instantly turned red, and a touch of panic flashed on her face, and then said, "What nonsense are you talking about, who is shy?"

Cold Frost hurriedly changed the subject, "By the way, where are we staying tonight?"

"There's a village nearby, let's go to the village for one night, and we'll figure it out tomorrow." Cold Frost suggested.

"Okay," Gu Tingyu nodded, and then asked, "Miss Leng, when did you learn medical skills?"

"That's what my mother taught me when I was a child," Cold Frost said lightly.

"I see, then your medical skills should be very skillful, no wonder you can cure my mother." Gu Tingyu said.

Cold Frost didn't say much, she sped up, she didn't want him to continue to pursue her past, her life was so simple.

Three days later, a carriage slowly drove in the direction of the capital.

Gu Tingyu looked out the window, his expression was indifferent, his fingers rubbed the jade pendant hanging from his waist, this was his token.

"Don't worry, my lord," said the coachman, "but why don't you give the token to Your Majesty?"

Gu Tingyu shook his head: "I don't want to get involved too deeply."

"But the prince ......."

"You don't understand," Gu Tingyu interrupted the coachman's words, "I know these things better than you, don't say any more, this matter, even if I beg you."

"Lord Wang," the coachman sighed.

Gu Tingyu lifted the curtain and looked at the scene outside, a gloom flashed in his eyes: "Over the years, I haven't returned to the capital, and I don't dare to go back, I just don't want to face them."

"Lord Wang," the coachman said again, "have you really decided?"

"It's decided, I don't want to be an emperor, I just want to be an ordinary person, and I don't want to get involved in the battle for succession." Gu Tingyu said in a firm tone.

This is what he hates the most in his life, and it is the battle for succession.

"Lord Wang......" The coachman still wanted to persuade.

"Okay, don't say it," Gu Tingyu waved his hand, "This time we go back to the capital, we must pass on the news over there, at least, my father and mother must know that I am alive and well."

The carriage stopped at the gate of Gu's mansion, and Gu Tingyu stepped out of the carriage and looked up at the once familiar mansion.

It carries countless beautiful childhoods here, and the warm and happy life in the memories has now become devastated and bruised.

He will never stop there!

Gu Tingyu turned around and left the gate of the Gu Mansion, got into a sedan chair, and rushed towards the palace.

——

"The concubine visits the imperial brother."

Gu Tingyu knelt on the ground and saluted.

"Get up," Zhao Guogong smiled and stretched out his hand to help, "I heard that my younger brother has made meritorious service in Western Xinjiang, why did he come back so soon?"

"Brother Chen lived up to his grace and exterminated the traitors in the Western Frontier," Gu Tingyu stood up and arched his hand, "It's just that Brother Chen missed his relatives in the capital, so he returned early."

"It turns out that I miss the people in the capital," Zhao Guogong laughed and patted Gu Tingyu's shoulder, "Since that's the case, let's stay a few more days, anyway, it's not interesting for you to stay in the capital."

Gu Tingyu lowered his eyes and was silent, as if he did not intend to answer Zhao Guogong's words.

Zhao Guogong didn't mind, after all, Gu Tingyu is a child with an arrogant personality, since he was sent to the western Xinjiang, he has been estranged from the royal family, if it weren't for the relationship with Queen Zhao, it is estimated that he would not be willing to set foot in the palace half a step in his life, and now that he is willing to stay in the capital, he should snicker.

"Since you're here

Now, I'll retire first, and I still have some government affairs to deal with."

Gu Tingyu said respectfully, "Brother Huang, go slowly."

After Zhao Guogong left, Gu Tingyu walked to the inner hall.

In the inner hall, a woman in pink sat in front of the dresser, she slowly took off the veil on her face, revealing a delicate and charming face.

This is Gu Tingyu's sister, Gu Yuning, and now Queen Zhao.

"You're back?" Gu Yuning's indifferent voice sounded.

"Hmm."

Gu Tingyu approached the bed and sat down: "Sister, do you have something to do with me?"

Gu Yuning looked out the window: "Just now my father sent someone to invite me to dinner, what do you think he told me?"

"What?" Gu Tingyu raised his eyebrows.

"Father actually said that you are dead." The corners of Gu Yuning's mouth raised a mocking arc, "I really doubt that he has a broken head, and I can't live this well."

Gu Tingyu was silent.

Gu Yuning snorted lightly: "He said, I am the only bloodline of the Gu family, so if you want to cultivate me well, I have to ask him, who does the bloodline of the Gu family depend on to cultivate?" Could it be that he can't do it on his own?"

Gu Tingyu frowned slightly and did not speak.

"By the way, I heard my father say that you have made meritorious contributions in Western Xinjiang and have been rewarded by the emperor, is it true?"

Gu Tingyu nodded: "There is indeed such a thing."

"Heh," Gu Yuning sneered, "I'll just say, it's impossible for the imperial brother to suddenly find out with his conscience and recall you back to the capital, there is really another conspiracy."

Gu Tingyu lowered his head: "Sister, in fact, you don't have to worry, if I don't come back, the imperial brother can't help me."

Gu Yuning looked at Gu Tingyu with scrutiny in her eyes: "Of course I believe in your ability, but I always feel that the imperial brother called you back this time, not only because you have made meritorious contributions, but he also intends to get rid of you."

Gu Tingyu was stunned.

"However," Gu Yuning laughed, "If you don't come back, we don't have to be afraid of him, I want to see what tricks the imperial brother can play."

"What my sister said is very true," Gu Tingyu hooked his lips, "No matter what the imperial brother plays, he can't escape the control of the imperial power, over the years, he has become more and more mediocre, I want to see how long this emperor can sit."

Although Gu Tingyu's voice was calm, the light in his eyes revealed his desire for the throne.

Gu Yuning looked at him, a trace of surprise crossed her eyes, and then, she sighed lightly and said in a low voice, "Ah Yu, I will definitely help you."

Gu Tingyu looked at Gu Yuning and pursed her thin lips: "Sister, no matter what it is, you just need to tell me, and we can discuss it together."

"Hmm."

——

Three days later, the Northern Qi delegation left the capital.

At this banquet, the performance of the Emperor of Northern Qi completely refreshed everyone's three views, but everyone was also happy to see the appearance of the Northern Qi delegation fleeing in embarrassment, and praised the emperor for his wisdom and wisdom.

Of course, Gu Tingyu didn't hear these words of praise at all.

Gu Tingyu stood on top of the tower, looking down at the bustling streets in the capital, and a touch of fierceness crossed his eyes.

Gu Tingyu, let's see!

Gu Tingyu returned to Gu's house, Gu Changning and Gu Yuhan greeted him, holding his arm left and right, and calling his brother affectionately.

Gu Tingyu's face was cold, he flicked his sleeves and walked straight towards the main house.

"Brother Tingyu, I heard that you are back," Gu Changning pulled Gu Tingyu's sleeve with a smile, "You came back this time, aren't you going to go to the barracks?"

Gu Tingyu paused, turned his head to look at Gu Changning, his dark pupils were deep and distant: "Changning, do you know? I don't want to stay in the capital any longer, it's too depressing here."

"I know," Gu Changning said softly, "But Brother Tingyu, have you forgotten what you promised your grandmother? Grandmother said that she hopes that you can become a talent and protect our family."

Gu Tingyu shook his head: "I haven't forgotten.

」

"Then are you going back to the Western Frontier?"

"I won't go back for the time being," Gu Tingyu said lightly, "I want to stay in the capital for a few years and see how the people in Western Xinjiang live."

"Okay," Gu Changning said with a smile, "Then accompany me to visit the mountains and rivers, although the western Xinjiang is barren, the scenery is beautiful and suitable for tourism."

Gu Changning smiled and pulled Gu Tingyu's arm, "Brother Tingyu, let me tell you, there is a place in Western Xinjiang with a lot of flowers, we can go and see it."

Gu Tingyu rubbed Gu Changning's long hair dotingly: "Okay, let's go see the flowers."

The two walked hand in hand on the road on the outskirts of Beijing, Gu Tingyu held Gu Changning's hand, and the two talked and laughed all the way, as if nothing had happened.

"Ah Yu," Gu Changning tilted his head to look at Gu Tingyu, "You are in Western Xinjiang this time, but you have a wife?"

Gu Tingyu nodded: "Married a wife."

"It's so good," Gu Changning said enviously, "It's not like me, I'm busy all day long, where do I have time to think about marriage, Brother Tingyu, let me tell you, my father and mother recently set a family affair for me, but I'm not satisfied, you see......

Gu Tingyu looked up at Gu Changning, his eyes warm: "I think at your age, if you get married, it may be better."

Gu Changning's eyes lit up instantly, and a pair of peach blossom eyes flashed: "Really, don't you dislike me for being old?"

"Silly girl, I don't dislike you for being old, I remember that you are a few years younger than me," Gu Tingyu touched Gu Changning's forehead, "But don't work too hard, enjoy the blessings."

"I also think I'm quite comfortable now, it's just ......" Gu Changning sighed, "I always feel that there is something missing in my heart."

Gu Tingyu smiled: "There will be a long time in the future, there will always be."

Gu Changning looked at Gu Tingyu's warm side face, and a ghostly light crossed his eyes.

Gu Tingyu is a good man, as long as he can stay by her side all the time, it will be enough.

As for his brother-in-law, huh......

He wanted to see which one it was. ……

Western Xinjiang.

"Your Majesty, why did you let the tiger return to the mountain?" General Chen asked puzzled.

"Return the Tiger to the Mountain?" Huangfu Hao sneered, "I'm going to let the tiger in."

"Huh?" General Chen didn't understand, "Your Majesty, your subordinates are stupid, I really don't understand what you mean."
