Chapter 206: What to Do (2nd Update)
Zhou Gu galloped back to the Protector's Mansion, and there was a depression in his heart, which did not disperse.
He went directly to the old protector.
The old protector of the country is quite leisurely to move the books in the study out of the sunny day, late autumn, nearly noon, the sun is still powerful, at this time the wind is not big, the weather is not too cold, he has a few military books, do not let people move, so, he holds the spread out under the window to dry, and then sits under the window and stares at it personally.
Seeing Zhou Gu rushing in in with a depressed body, the old protector raised his eyes and saw his ugly face.
The old protector had a headache, thinking that he would go to the Chengguo Mansion to join in the fun, and he had just gone, and he came back so soon, and he looked like this, I was afraid that something would happen again.
His grandson, when he was fine before, he didn't like to come to him the most, he wanted to find others, but he couldn't find it, but now it's good, he can see him every day. But he wanted to hide, and he was not happy to see him.
"Grandfather." Zhou Gu stood in front of the old protector, blocking a shadow.
The old protector sighed in his heart, "Stinky boy, block the sun."
Zhou Gu stood still, "I have something to tell you."
The old protector wanted to say, "Wait until I'm done posting the book." , but seeing Zhou Gu in front of him like a wooden stake, and drying a fart book, he didn't worry about others, so he simply picked up the book and put it away, and carried it back to the study.
Closing the door of the study, the old protector put the book away, turned around and glanced at Zhou Gu, sat down, "Say!"
Zhou Gu looked at him, "If Su Rong has a marriage contract with Ye Guixue, what should I do?"
The old protector was stunned.
Zhou Gu suspected that he hadn't heard clearly, and said again, "Grandfather, if they have a marriage contract, what do you say I should do?"
The old protector opened his mouth, wanting to say that it was impossible, but he thought, what is impossible, Su Rong is the princess of Southern Chu, and Ye Guixue is the second son of Ye Xiangfu, if Su Rong goes to Nanchu to seize power, he will definitely not be able to bypass the Ye family, with the power of the Ye family in Southern Chu, although it is not as big as the foundation of the relatives of the two generations of queens of the Nangong family, but it should not be underestimated, if Su Rong marries the night and returns to the snow, no, if the night returns to the snow and is still the master, it is not impossible.
On the contrary, this allowed Su Rong to gain the support of the Ye family, and the road to power would be much smoother.
So, he was silent for a while.
Zhou Gu stared at the old protector of the country, "Today, as soon as I stepped into the living room of the Chengguo Mansion, I heard Ye Guixue tell Yan Li and Yan Lin that his father wrote a letter today and had made a marriage match for him, and after he returned to Southern Chu, the king of Southern Chu would give him a marriage."
He sneered, "But today, grandfather, do you think this is true? I'm afraid that he and Su Rong have reached some agreement to use the marriage contract as a transaction, right?"
The old protector finally spoke, "Did he really say that?"
"Hmm."
The old protector was silent for a moment, "If he said that, he should be right. But presumably it wasn't a private agreement, and it wasn't a marriage contract as a deal. I'm afraid that he came with the royal order of the king of Southern Chu, and also asked for the consent of the night phase, the king of Southern Chu wants to win back the princess, and the night phase mansion is loyal to the king of South Chu, but this rope needs to be tied to death, after all, it is dangerous to seize power, and the night phase mansion does not want to be destroyed, the so-called high risk must be the same as the high return, therefore, the night return to the snow is still the lord, this is the agreement reached between the king of Southern Chu and the night phase, let the night return snow be the future prince."
Zhou Gu's face was heavy, his eyes were dark and gloomy, and he was full of depression, at this moment, there seemed to be some posture about to be broken, he asked the old protector again, his voice was extremely hoarse, "Isn't it really my delusion? What should I do, grandfather?"
The old protector looked at Zhou Gu and couldn't answer for a while.
Zhou Gu stared at him tightly, "I should let go, give up Su Rong, and withdraw from the marriage involuntarily, now even my heart is going to die and take it back?"
After all, with his upbringing since childhood, he couldn't worry about other people's fiancées, and he couldn't sleep all night, tossing and turning.
The old protector sighed deeply, and said helplessly, "Take it back!"
"If a man can be the master of the heart, then where are there so many hearts that cannot help themselves and cannot help themselves?" Advisor Zhou: "Grandfather, do you think I can do it?"
"If you can't do it, you have to do it." The old protector solemnized his tone, "
Brother Gu, are you going to Nanchu to be the prince's husband? Even if you go, compared to the night return to the snow, compared to the Nanchu Night Phase, what can you help Su Rong? Don't say that you have the backing of the Protector's Mansion, in the territory of Nanchu, the girder is thousands of miles away, and our Protector's Mansion can't reach into it, and we can't insert it. And Su Rong may not want you to do anything for him, otherwise she wouldn't have decided to divorce you without consulting you."
Zhou Gu stiffened, his face turned a little pale, revealing depression and weakness.
The old protector naturally felt sorry for his grandson, and said, "Don't do things that you regret, don't do impulsive things, grandfather regrets it now, you shouldn't have chosen you to be engaged to Su Rong back then, you should have chosen Zhou Che." That's it, if I had known that Queen Nanchu had sent someone to Jiangning County to kill that little girl many years ago, I should not have made a promise to Zhenmin, and I should have taken the initiative to regret the marriage. What's more, I shouldn't have sent you to Jiangning County in person to cultivate some relationship with Su Rong. The so-called wrong step, wrong step, will make you fall into it."
The old protector of the country regretted it too late, and he spoke bitterly, and said earnestly: "Brother Gu, can't you learn from Su Rong's little girl? You're a man, aren't you as good as a daughter? She can be so crisp and decisive, and so can you."
Zhou Gu wanted to say "I can't", if I could, as early as the day of Su Rong's divorce, I would, and now I only heard the words of Ye Guixue, his mind buzzed for the first time, at that moment, he almost hated himself for being too smart, he couldn't stay for a moment, and he couldn't do it like a good person, go inside, meet each other with Ye Guixue, greet each other kindly, greet each other, he can't do it, he is afraid that he will draw his sword, because he knows that he has no position to draw his sword.
He fell silent, and his whole person seemed to be drained of his energy, and for a moment, he was extremely depressed.
The old protector can't bear to look at him, no matter how much he talks about it now, what's the use? Because what he wants to say, what he has taught since childhood, Zhou Gu knows it well, he doesn't need to say it, he understands it, he understands it, and he knows the road he wants to take better than anyone else.
But it's one thing to understand clearly, in the past, it was not difficult for him to do it, but now the only mistake is Su Rong.
Therefore, the old protector regretted it, but now it is useless, he can only hope that Zhou Gu will see it for himself, but looking at him like this, he has no bottom in his heart.
The study was silent for a while, the grandfather and grandson, one silent, the other extremely decadent, as silent as death.
After a long time, Zhou Gu spoke in a hoarse voice, "I'll try it!"
Try to learn from Su Rong, she can be decisive and simple, why can't he?
