Chapter 210: Don't Disturb (2nd Update)
Su Rong walked out of the East Palace smoothly, climbed out of the palace wall, landed with her feet, and was just about to lift her feet to walk, when she suddenly felt that something was wrong, and suddenly looked at the shadow in the corner of the wall, where there was a person standing, a person she was very familiar with.
She paused.
Zhou Gu stood in the shadow of the corner, he came to guard outside the wall of the East Palace tonight, and saw a familiar figure with his own eyes, wearing a night coat, and he was familiar with the East Palace, he looked, did not alarm her, so he waited here, waited for an hour, and sure enough, he saw her come out familiarly.
He was sure that Su Rong had already come to Beijing, and before she met Duanhua, her traces could be erased, and it was indeed the prince's hand.
And she has long been in contact with the prince.
This cognition also made him more sure that the prince should have known Su Rong's life experience a long time ago.
Zhou Gu looked at Su Rong, didn't speak, hidden in the shadows of the night, and looked at her like that, turning over the city wall of the East Palace, coming and going freely, different from when she was in Jiangning County, when she entered and exited her own high wall, she didn't use a wall climbing lock in her hand, it can be seen that when she was in Jiangning County, she used the wall climbing lock on purpose, and her skills didn't use the wall climbing lock at all.
In other words, she deliberately hid her martial arts skills, not wanting to be explored by him, or rather, she reserved her intention to withdraw from the marriage at that time.
Su Rong didn't expect to meet Zhou Gu here, especially since Zhou Gu had already recognized her, she wanted to treat it as if she didn't know her, and it would be impossible to leave, right? What's more, he was standing in the shadows, and the aura around him was very dark, and although she couldn't see his expression clearly, she could feel that he didn't seem to be in a good mood.
This bad mood may be about her.
She pinched her fingers and wanted to say something, but she didn't know what to say for a while, so she called out to him, "Brother Zhou?" , still forget it, so, she only stood for a moment, then simply turned around and left.
Zhou Gu stepped forward and grabbed her wrist almost at the moment when she stepped away, staring at her deadly.
Su Rong didn't succeed, so he could only stop and look at him.
Zhou Gu, who walked out of the shadows, was still dressed in gloomy color, and his face was also full of gloomy color, which was different from the cold anger that was obvious when he divorced that day, and it was also different from the day he saw him under the tree in the Ruian Palace.
Su Rong was shocked, but he didn't show it on his face, and greeted with a light smile, "It turned out to be Brother Zhou."
"Don't call me this." Zhou Gu's voice was hoarse.
Su Rong was as kind as a stream, "That's good, Thursday Childe."
Zhou Gu clenched her hand tightly, "Don't shout this."
Su Rong was helpless, "Zhou Gu."
Zhou Gu was still used to hearing this, his eyes were dark and full of depression, but he restrained himself, knowing that this was not the place to speak, so he asked her, "Is the Welcome Square your territory?"
Su Rong nodded.
"Let's go and talk to the reception." Zhou Gu dragged her away.
Su Rong had a headache, "You let go first, I won't run."
Zhou Gu let go of her.
The two of them went to the welcome square one after the other, avoiding the patrolling city patrol soldiers in the night.
Now that it is curfew time, the welcome shop has naturally closed, but Su Rong is the owner, entering the welcome shop is like entering his own home, taking Zhou Gu over the wall, coming to the backyard, in front of a door, knocking on the window three times.
Someone inside said, "Huh?" He asked, and then as if he remembered something, he immediately turned on the lamp and opened the window, "Who?"
"It's me." Su Rong showed a sign.
"It turned out to be the master." The person inside was not Lan Niang, but the shopkeeper, hurriedly put on his coat, opened the door, and looked at Su Rong dressed in night clothes, followed by a person, who seemed to be Zhou Xiaogongzi of the Protector's Mansion, and was stunned for a moment, "You, why are you two here?"
Su Rong said, "Talk here, give me a room."
The shopkeeper hurriedly said, "The room next door has been reserved for you, and it has already been arranged, and you have not been seen coming. Now you're going to talk next door?"
Su Rong nodded.
So, the shopkeeper went back to the house and got the key, and opened the door next door, "Small
Go boil the water and bring it, and you two will go in first."
Su Rong nodded, took a step first, and entered the house, and Zhou Gu followed.
The room is very clean, the painting hall is spacious, the inner room is on the east side, and further east, there is a clean room, which is just separated from the next room on both sides, and if you talk in the inner room, the rooms on both sides cannot be heard.
Su Rong directly chose the inner room, and after taking the lamp, please sit down.
Although this is not Su Rong's boudoir, but in the end it is a room prepared for her, Zhou Gu is a little embarrassed, but this kind of unhappiness is still suppressed, after all, if it is not in accordance with the rules, he will see her privately at night tonight, and ask her to come here to talk, and it is already unruly to be in the same room.
He doesn't care so much now.
The shopkeeper quickly brought a pot of tea, took a tray with a few plates of pastries in it, and put them on the table, and then asked Su Rong, "Master, do you want wine?"
"No, you go and rest!" Su Rong waved his hand, "You just sleep, and we don't have to send it when we leave."
The shopkeeper nodded, knowing that the two of them came here at this time to have something to say privately, so he closed the door with interest and went back to rest.
Su Rong had already eaten and drunk in the East Palace, and pushed the refreshments in front of Zhou Gu, "Eat a little?"
Zhou Gu didn't eat at noon or night, and until now, he wasn't hungry, but Su Rong pushed the refreshments in front of him, he was silent, and he still picked it up and ate it.
Su Rong sat at the table and watched him eat.
After eating a piece of pastry, Su Rong handed Zhou Gu a cup of tea, Zhou Gu didn't look up, pinched another piece of pastry, and ate it silently.
Su Rong also understood at this time, Zhou Gu didn't eat about night.
After eating a plate of pastries, Zhou Gu stopped taking it, wiped his hands, and looked at Su Rong.
Su Rong rubbed his eyebrows, "If you have anything to say, you can say it!"
Zhou Gu originally had a stomach full of words and wanted to ask her, but sitting here, he didn't want to ask anymore, he was afraid that he would ask, so she simply admitted it. Admit everything. And what can he say then? I don't even know the pretend, I'm afraid he won't be qualified.
He shook his head, "I don't want to say it."
Su Rong paused.
Zhou Gu put down the handkerchief and took another piece of pastry to eat.
Su Rong didn't know what to say for a while, and said to him, "Didn't eat dinner? Why don't I have someone cook you some food?"
"I didn't eat lunch either." Zhou Gu corrected, but still shook his head, "No need, I'll just eat pastries."
Su Rong didn't expect that he hadn't even eaten lunch, what did he want to say, he didn't even eat lunch? But looking at him like this, he doesn't have to ask if he knows, between them, asking too many questions is also helpless.
So she sat quietly and watched him eat a plate of pastries and pastries, five in all, four in some saucers, six in some saucers, all slowly, one by one, all by him.
She asked, "Is that enough?" Isn't that enough for me to find you some more?"
"That's enough."
Su Rong poured him another cup of tea,
Zhou Gu picked up the tea and drank it slowly, full of depression, and the whole person was very quiet.
Su Rong thought about it, but still said ruthlessly: "Today, I saw the night ...... of the Night Phase's Mansion."
"I don't want to hear it." Zhou Gu interrupted her abruptly.
Su Rong paused.
Zhou Gu lowered his head, looking at the tea cup in his hand, the orange tea, as his fingers trembled slightly, the tea rippled in circles, he could barely hold the small tea cup, so he simply put it down directly, because it was too urgent, the tea spilled a little, and it burned the back of his hand.
The back of the white hand was burned red in a small piece.
He took the handkerchief and wiped it haphazardly, and then tucked his hand into his sleeve.
At this moment, Su Rong turned his face and looked out the window, this young man, he is sincere, intelligent, awkward, proud, and maybe a little arrogant, she has never wanted to harm him since she first saw him, she hopes that he will have a prosperous life, without suffering, without being troubled, and walking along the Qingyun Road that has been paved long ago, and he will be successful and famous in history, she never wants anyone to harm him, including herself.
But now, she had hurt him.
If this harm is only temporary, it should only be a small obstacle for him, and it will be enough. But if this harm is for a lifetime, if he can't get through, what will she do to make up for it?
When she divorced, she thought of the former, but she didn't think of the latter, thinking that he also had reservations about her, and it shouldn't be. There is affection but not much, and it is easy to let go. But now, it seems that this is not the case.
Zhou Gu raised his eyes, and saw Su Rong's head, the flashing emotion slipped over her face, he only saw a coldness, his heart collapsed, and in an instant, he wanted to get up and leave, I didn't want Su Rong to laugh at him in his heart for being embarrassed and unproductive, but he couldn't move his body, sitting with her like this today was all forced by him, if he left, there was no next time, I don't know.
His heart was dark, and his voice was hoarse again, and he shouted, "Su Rong."
Su Rong turned his head and said "um".
Zhou Gu closed his eyes and said with difficulty, "I'll try to put it down, it's not my intention to disturb you today."
Su Rong smiled, "Okay, don't bother."
It's all going to be a meeting at the beginning of the year~ I've been in a meeting... It's not easy to insist on updating~
Baby, monthly passes! See you tomorrow!
