Chapter Seventy-Eight: Give Up the Fight Completely

Thinking of this, the emperor told the chief eunuch again, and said, "You go and take out the imperial gold medal, and then send it to Jingxinzhai, and say that I gave it to Gu Tingyu, let him take it."

"Your Majesty, are you really willing?" The chief eunuch asked in surprise.

"If you are willing, why not?" The emperor sighed, and then added, "However, I will only use this gold medal for Gu Tingyu."

"Yes, the old slave obeys." The chief eunuch hurriedly retreated.

The emperor closed his eyes and rested.

In fact, Gu Tingyu is not as simple as it seems on the surface, this time, it is said that Gu Tingyu did it, but it is better to say that Gu Tingyu is borrowing a knife to kill people.

He knew better than anyone how much his father trusted him, so he wouldn't suspect Gu Tingyu at all, and even, in his subconscious, he had already decided that it was the second child who killed his child.

He did this just to make his father suspicious of the second child.

He knew that the Emperor would not tolerate anyone coveting the throne, and he also wanted his brothers to be united.

Therefore, in doing so, in addition to being able to achieve the effect he wants, he can also weaken the strength of the second child.

When Gu Tingyu returned to the mansion, he found that the cold frost was not in the room.

"Husband, you're back, it's just so good that the concubine has something for you, do you like it?" Leng Shuang smiled and handed the thing to Gu Tingyu.

He stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and saw that it was a painting.

He was slightly stunned, and then said, "Cold Frost, how did you come up with the idea of giving me a gift?"

"I thought, you have worked hard for the country all these years. So, I'm thinking about giving you a painting, which can be considered a celebration for you."

Leng Shuang smiled and said, "Tingyu, you know what? In the past few days, I have thought about it for a long time, and I finally understand, it turns out that I have never forgotten you, I have never forgotten the scene when we first met, that year, I was eight years old, you were six years old, you followed your father to the frontier to fight, I followed my mother to the temple fair to go shopping, the two of us bumped into each other like that, we looked at each other, and you couldn't take your eyes off it anymore."

"Yes, at that time, I thought that this girl was so beautiful." Gu Tingyu said with a smile.

"I liked you back then, too." Leng Shuang said, "But at that time, I hadn't thought about getting married, after all, I was still young. However, later, your father died, and my mother and I were left in our family, and our mother depended on each other, so I thought about whether to find a mother-in-law, but my mother said that it was unlucky for a girl to marry too early."

When this came to my ears, I thought it was strange.

"Mother, isn't it fast for a girl to get married?"

Leng Shuang nodded and said, "Yes, after getting married, the girl's youth is only a few years, so I don't want to get married, I want to stay by my mother's side and accompany my mother."

This kind of thing is indeed normal for modern girls, but for ancient women, it is inappropriate.

Leng Shuang didn't want to leave her mother, she felt that her mother was living alone in the nunnery, it was too desolate.

But the mother said that after a girl gets married, she must keep the woman's way and not associate with the man.

The mother did not agree with her getting close to Gu Tingyu, so she secretly ran to see him, but was caught by the mother, and then punished for kneeling for half the night, and when she fell asleep, the mother quietly released the water and let her escape the punishment.

Since then, Leng Shuang's personality has slowly changed, and she has gradually become rebellious and doesn't listen to her mother for anything.

It wasn't until the mother suddenly became seriously ill that Leng Shuang suddenly woke up to the fact that the mother's illness was not only a physical disease, but also a psychological illness, and the mother's heart could not let go of her father's heroic soul.

So her mother tried to match her and Gu Tingyu, and wanted her and Gu Tingyu to get married as soon as possible.

It's a pity that Gu Tingyu has always refused, he said that when he got married and stabilized, he would marry her, but unfortunately, in the end he still failed, and the emperor ordered him to be exiled.

He was not reconciled, so he took advantage of the father

Before the death of the pro, let the chief eunuch go to the emperor to ask for a marriage.

Although the emperor did not agree, he secretly allowed his request, but this matter was not announced, but was carried out in secret.

Because Gu Tingyu is a military general, what he needs is war and meritorious service, so he is unwilling to involve his private affairs in the court.

But Gu Tingyu didn't want others to know his true identity, so the emperor obeyed Gu Tingyu's wishes and didn't publicize it.

The emperor's favor for Gu Tingyu has surpassed the other brothers of the royal family, so after Gu Tingyu got married, he completely gave up the idea of competing for the throne and wholeheartedly assisted the prince to ascend the throne.

After the death of the emperor, the crown prince inherited the throne, but none of the emperor's sons were convinced, so they began to fight with each other, woo each other, and even, by unscrupulous means.

Gu Tingyu's confidant general also participated in this struggle, but because the royal blood was too thin and his health was not good, he did not participate in the struggle, but chose to be obscure and secretly wary of the princes.

Whenever the prince is ambitious, he will help Gu Tingyu.

But before the emperor died, he had given him to protect Leng Shuang and Gu Tingyu, so he could only do his best to protect these two people.

Gu Tingyu treated them like brothers and sisters.

"We've been playing together for so many years, don't you know what I like?"

"Of course I know," Gu Tingyu smiled faintly and said, "However, it is not suitable between us."

"What's wrong?" Cold Frost asked.

Gu Tingyu was silent for a moment and said, "My identity is destined for me to marry a common man in my life, and I can't live up to her."

"And what if she can change your mind?" Cold Frost retorted.

"Do you think that in my life, I can meet a woman who can change my mind?" Gu Tingyu asked.

"You...... You...... How do I know?" Leng Shuang's face turned crimson, and he didn't dare to look up at Gu Tingyu: "Brother Tingyu, I didn't mean that, I just ......."

"Cold Frost, don't speak, you listen to me."

"Okay, you say."

"We won't have children in this life, I'm afraid ......."

"Aren't we okay now?" Cold Frost asked.

"Yes, we're fine now, but aren't you sure if there's another you in the future?" Gu Tingyu looked at Leng Shuang and asked.

"Another me?" Leng Shuang was stunned, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked, "Are you talking about that person?"

Gu Tingyu shook his head: "I don't know, but I don't want to hurt her, and I can't hurt her, I hope our child is a normal child."

"Okay."

Gu Tingyu gently touched Leng Shuang's head: "Don't worry, you will always be my princess, and I won't divorce you, what do you want to do, just do it, don't worry, as long as I, Gu Tingyu, am here, I will guarantee that no one can hurt your mother and son."

"Hmm," Frost whispered.

"Okay, it's not too early, I'll send you back to your room to rest first," Gu Tingyu said.

"Okay," said Cold Frost, "I'm sleepy too."

As soon as the cold cream finished speaking, her stomach gurgled, she touched her nose in embarrassment, and said with a smile, "You wait for me, I'll go get food right away."

"No need, I'll let the kitchen cook the meal, it's outside, you hurry up and wash up, and eat later." Gu Tingyu said, and turned around and went to the next room.

Leng Shuang stood in the room in a daze, her mood complicated.

She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad, what Gu Tingyu meant, she understood, he didn't want to wronged himself.

Why doesn't this fool know that she is also single-minded towards him?

Cold Frost's heart is sour.

She took a deep breath and told herself that she couldn't be so willful, he did it all for himself

At this point, why should she lose her temper again?

Leng Shuang thought about it, so she changed her clothes, washed herself, made up, and then sat at the table, looking at the food box on the table, Leng Shuang sighed, opened the lid, and sure enough, it was full of delicious food, she took the chopsticks, tried it, and thought it was pretty good.

Leng Shuang was eating with relish, but suddenly heard a noise in the yard, Leng Shuang stopped his chopsticks, frowned and asked, "Who is making noise outside?"

Hearing this, Gu Tingyu pushed open the door and walked in, he looked at the dishes on the table, and then said to Leng Shuang, "I'm sorry, I forgot to close the door."

"I'm going to get someone to close the door."

Leng Shuang was about to get up, but was stopped by Gu Tingyu.

"Forget it, these are the dinners I have people prepare, don't toss others, if you are hungry, I will feel distressed."

Cold Frost's cheeks were slightly red, and she glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I'm not talking nonsense," Gu Tingyu looked at her and said, "Think about it, you are now the daughter of a big family, if you let others know that you are a girl hanging outside all day long, the impact is not good, you don't think for yourself, but also for our family, your father and mother worked hard to raise you, you can't make them sad for your own happiness."

Gu Tingyu said with a serious look: "You don't know, there are no parents in this world who don't want their children to live a safe and stable life."

"I know, but ......"

"Don't do it," Gu Tingyu gently interrupted her and said, "I know you have something on your mind, but if there is anything, discuss it with me tomorrow."

"Oh."

Leng Shuang nodded, she was not a vexatious person, since Gu Tingyu said so, she naturally respected his decision.

The next day, early in the morning, the cold cream was packed up, and I went to give Gu Tingyu tea, according to the rules, the man's wife wanted to give tea to the woman, and this rule had to be passed on to the capital.

Leng Shuang took the maid, held the tea, knelt on the ground, and said respectfully, "Daughter-in-law Leng Shuang, serve tea to your in-laws."
