Chapter Eighty-Four: Are You Pretending?

"Don't be angry," Cold Frost pulled his arm and coquettishly, "You promise I'll let go if I don't get angry."

Gu Tingyu looked at her, his eyes were gentle: "Okay, as long as you don't cry, I won't be angry."

"Then you promise not to be angry." Cold Frost tilted her head and looked at him with wet eyes.

"Yes, I promise." Gu Tingyu hooked his lips and smiled, "You can let go of your hand now, right?"

The cold cream slowly releases the hand.

Gu Tingyu bent down to pick up Leng Shuang and walked out of the dormitory.

Cold Frost leaned on his shoulder, face pressed against his broad chest, eyes closed, enjoying the male hormones emanating from him.

"Are you so dependent on me?" Gu Tingyu suddenly spoke, his voice was slightly hoarse, revealing a sultry taste.

Leng Shuang pursed her lips and replied sullenly, "I don't rely on you."

"That's lying?"

"You are not allowed to speak!" Cold Frost warned.

Gu Tingyu smiled, and really closed his mouth honestly.

After a while, he whispered, "If you don't want to speak, I can sing to you."

The cold cream didn't take a cavity, but the ears were pricked up.

Gu Tingyu's voice is cold, but this indifferent voice combined with his elegant and magnetic voice sounds particularly attractive.

Leng Shuang felt a little drowsy when he listened to it.

Gu Tingyu lowered her head slightly, and she could see the side face of Cold Frost, she bit her lower lip tightly, trying to restrain her urge to cry.

Gu Tingyu sighed and hugged the cold frost tighter.

He kissed Frost's forehead lightly and muttered, "I'm sorry, Frost."

He didn't know who he was, he didn't know why he was sent here. But he had a vague hunch that he might have loved a certain girl, and that he loved her deeply, and even that he felt that he had liked her very much.

It's a pity that he woke up too late, and I'm afraid he won't be able to meet her in this life.

I don't know how long it took, the carriage stopped, Gu Tingyu patted the cold frost lightly, and shouted, "Frost? Wake up."

"Huh?" Cold Frost opened his eyes in a daze.

Gu Tingyu rubbed her hairy head and said, "Get out of the car when you wake up."

Leng Shuang obediently jumped out of the car, Gu Tingyu followed, and the two entered the imperial study.

As soon as he entered the room, Leng Shuang saw a middle-aged man with a dignified face sitting next to the dragon case and reading the folds.

He raised his head and looked at Gu Tingyu, his eyes were complicated, as if he was exploring his identity.

Gu Tingyu bowed slightly: "Minister Gu Tingyu see Your Majesty."

The Emperor smiled and said, "No need to be polite, give me a seat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Gu Tingyu thanked him and sat down.

Leng Shuang moved a stool next to him and sat down next to Gu Tingyu, she quietly pulled his sleeve and motioned for him to hurry up and get down to business.

Gu Tingyu glanced at Leng Shuang and said lightly, "Father, my brother came to you today to discuss something with you."

"Well, what's the matter?"

"You see, the princesses under your knees have already married, but none of them are married, so my brother wants you to marry the princesses."

"You're going to marry a concubine?" The Emperor was taken aback.

"Well," Gu Tingyu nodded, "Brother wants to make a concubine as soon as possible."

"This ......," the Emperor frowned, "Didn't you keep saying that you wanted me to choose a few more concubines for you?"

"This younger brother has already thought it through, the younger brother doesn't need a side concubine, he only needs a lady." Gu Tingyu said lightly, "Since this is the case, my father might as well do what his brother said."

"This ......," the emperor hesitated, "I heard that the imperial sisters have a good impression of you."

The emperor paused and said, "If you don't want a side concubine, then you don't want a side concubine."

"Brother Huang," Gu Tingyu was anxious, "No!"

"Why are you so willful!" The Emperor looked at him earnestly, "Don't you know?

Is it white? You're not really amnesiac, you're just playing dumb."

"Father, the younger brother doesn't think that the younger brother is pretending to be stupid, and the younger brother has never felt that he has lost his memory," Gu Tingyu said, "Father, you don't believe it, then you ask her, is she the wife of the younger brother?"

Cold Frost was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly.

"Look, she confessed!" Gu Tingyu stared at the emperor, "Didn't you say that your brother had amnesia? In this case, the courtier should follow his heart and seek his own happiness, instead of forcing himself to marry a woman he does not like!"

"Ridiculous!" The Emperor said in a deep voice, "I asked you to take a concubine in the hope that you would have someone to take care of you, I don't care what you have done before, but from now on, you must get rid of your old bad habits! I will not allow my only son-in-law to become a gentleman! Do you understand?"

"Brother Huang!"

"That's enough!" The Emperor said angrily, "Did you listen to me?"

Gu Tingyu was silent, and after a long while, he finally nodded slowly: "Brother Chen, remember the teachings."

The Emperor smiled kindly with satisfaction: "I will stay with you during this time, and when you recover, you will return to the East Palace."

"Thank you, brother." Gu Tingyu arched his hand.

"I know that you've been investigating those assassins lately," the Emperor said, "I'll send someone to help you, don't worry."

"Brother Xie Huang."

"Besides, I want to ask you for something." The Emperor said.

"Brother Huang, please speak." Gu Tingyu said.

The Emperor sighed, "I want to choose a few concubines in the palace for you, what do you think?"

Gu Tingyu was stunned: "Brother Huang, didn't you say that your brother can't make a decision now?"

"Yes," the Emperor shook his head bitterly, "I don't want to persecute you, but I always feel that you are not suitable to marry a princess, after all, you are the god of war of our Great Qi, and your status is noble, and everyone is in the limelight, and I am worried that your future wife will not be able to control you." So, I want to help you choose a few virtuous and dignified women to enter the house, what do you think?"

Gu Tingyu pondered for a long time, and then said, "Okay, Erchen obeys."

The Emperor stroked his beard with a smile and said, "I have already ordered you to go down, and I will send you a few women within three days."

The emperor's gaze swirled on Leng Shuang: "I heard that Shuang'er and you are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses, and now it is also your blessing to marry you, you must not live up to Shuang'er."

Gu Tingyu said, "Brother Chen will definitely not let her down."

The Emperor nodded with satisfaction, "Then I will be relieved."

Gu Tingyu got up and left.

When Gu Tingyu walked away, the smile on the emperor's face slowly retracted.

He paced the hall with his hands behind his back, his expression solemn.

Leng Shuang couldn't help but suggest, "The slave maid thinks that Gu Tingyu shouldn't want to accept a side concubine, so it's better to ......

"You don't understand." The emperor sighed, "If he refuses to accept concubines, then he is unwilling to inherit the throne, and then he will never want to ascend the throne."

"That's not going to be the case!" Leng Shuang said, "The concubine heard that the royal family has the responsibility of inheritance for generations, and the imperial brother is the emperor, so it is impossible for him not to want to inherit the throne."

The Emperor said, "You're right, but have you ever thought that although his illness has been cured, he can't have children, and he can't continue the royal bloodline at all! If I can't make him the prince, won't the Great Qi country be destroyed in my hands? I can't let that happen."

Leng Shuang was silent for a while, she couldn't help but think of her previous life, after Gu Tingyu's death, the imperial brother personally supported the younger brother to ascend to the throne, and the younger brother did handle it very neatly and neatly at the beginning of his ascension to the throne, without dragging mud and water, but what was the result? The two brothers fought each other, and the final result was completely opposite!

When the younger brother ascended the throne, the elder brother was already old and mediocre, the government was unstable, the people's grievances were boiling, the public opinion was monstrous, and the people called for the new emperor to establish a grandson.

However, the younger brother insisted that he was his father's flesh and blood, and would not do anything to kill his brother and usurp the throne.

He even said that if brother

The chief insisted on making him the prince, so he had to ask his brother to abdicate and give way to Xian and hand over the throne to him!

His words angered the old and mediocre brother, who immediately ordered him to be killed!

At that time, he was imprisoned in the ancestral hall, and the imperial brother also ordered that no one should save him, leaving him to fend for himself.

Leng Shuang immediately broke through the layers of guards and ran to rescue Gu Tingyu, but unfortunately, her martial arts were too far behind the secret guards under the imperial brother, not only did she fail to rescue Gu Tingyu, but she also lost her life.

After this incident, Gu Tingyu went crazy for a whole year, and then he gradually returned to normal, but he refused to allow anyone to approach, not even his mother and grandmother, including his own brother, did not set foot in his courtyard, which made the emperor deeply frustrated, and at the same time completely disappointed in him.

"Brother Huang, you are the Ninety-Five, no matter what, you can't violate filial piety, otherwise how will the people of the world view you?" The emperor looked at Gu Tingyu sadly, "I really love you and want to keep you safe for the rest of your life."

Gu Tingyu lowered his eyes and said, "Erchen understands."

"It's good to understand." The emperor patted Gu Tingyu's shoulder with satisfaction and said, "I will find a suitable woman for you as soon as possible, and in three days, you will go with me to pick one."

Gu Tingyu lowered his head and said, "Thank you, Brother Huang."

"Well, then you can go down and rest first." The Emperor waved his hand, "By the way, I heard that you went to the Imperial Doctor this morning and asked the Imperial Doctor to help treat that maid?"

"Hmm."

"Did you know that by doing this, you will only increase the maid's hatred for you?"

"Brother I understand."

"Then you ......."

"The younger brother has promised the imperial brother to accept that maid as a side concubine," Gu Tingyu raised his eyes and looked directly at the emperor, "Imperial brother, please forgive the younger brother for being presumptuous, the younger brother wants to ask, if the younger brother doesn't meet her, then what will happen to her?"

The Emperor frowned slightly, "What do you want to say?"

Gu Tingyu said calmly: "Erchen is a man, and a man's mind has always been incomprehensible, but there is one point, Erchen still wants to make it clear."

The Emperor bowed his head: "Oh? Tell me about it."

"Brother Huang," Gu Tingyu said slowly, "Brother Chen actually doesn't like her."

"Huh?"

Gu Tingyu chuckled lightly and said lightly, "The imperial brother is also a man, he should know that a man is possessive of a woman, and his younger brother may also have such a possessive desire for her."
