Help! I just woke up and was stabbed by a big kid

"But living again is a unique opportunity, so I have to be cautious." Gu Xu said, "I used him to set up the game, let him be the vanguard, and designed many strategies to test him. I gave him countless opportunities to kill me, but he didn't do it... He is the same as always."

Gu Xu said.

"Now that I think about it, I really regret it." Gu Xu said, "If I hadn't pushed him into the sight of King Yin and others in advance, if I hadn't taken the risk and used myself as bait when he was still young, maybe he wouldn't have..."

Gu Xu paused and stopped talking.

He raised his hand and slowly rubbed his brows, then looked at Gu Yue, whose face seemed calm.

Very similar.

He looks a lot like it.

Gu Xu clenched his fingers.

He still couldn't help but think of the last sentence in the letter.

——"We will meet again, perhaps in the next life."

He chose his words so carefully that he almost never said anything he was absolutely sure of.

Will we meet again?

Gu Xu turned and looked at Gu Yue.

This person who looked very much like him frowned tightly, seeming a little reluctant.

What could she not bear? Could she not bear to see him in such a miserable state? Then why did she just stand there, not willing to step forward and say...

No. wrong.

Gu Xu forced himself to stay awake.

He could no longer tell whether everything in front of him was true or false. He had been having nightmares for a long time, and often saw a figure that looked like Gu Yue in his peripheral vision. Now that a person with so many flaws was in front of him, it was difficult for him to tell whether all this was true or false.

If all the plans had not been completed before Gu Yue's death, Gu Xu didn't dare to think whether he would do something irrational for him.

"What's wrong with you?" Gu Yue had already noticed his trance and quickly took a step forward.

He raised his hand halfway and then put it down again. He saw Gu Xu waving his hand.

Gu Xu said: "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

Gu Yue frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Why...you seem to like him very much, why do you want to marry someone else?"

Gu Xu turned his head: "Do you really want to know?"

"Yeah." Gu Yue thought to himself, of course.

"...The crown prince is dead. The current crown prince is a fake one that I supported." Gu Xu said, "The original Jing family had a close relationship with the crown prince and the emperor. This fake one is not someone who lives with Qin Zhaoyue day and night. Who knows if he will reveal his flaws one day."

"Then what?" Gu Yue asked.

"Originally, Qin Zhaoyue arranged this marriage for me with the intention of winning over the Jing family. After he ascends the throne, I, a person whose value has been squeezed out, will be useless. If the Jing family is too powerful, he can also start with the relationship between me and Jing Yu and stir up the relationship between the Su family and the Jing family."

"But the Su family is no longer viable now." Gu Yue said.

"That's right." Gu Xu said, "If Su Muying falls, the power under him will be dispersed again, and the civil officials will be in chaos for a while. And without the biggest constraint, the Jing family will replace the Su family's original position and even be more terrifying."

Gu Yue was in deep thought.

"The current head of the Jing family is not a good man like Jing Cun." Gu Xu turned around and sat down on a small stool outside the house. "In order to curry favor with the prince and get close to the Su family, he doesn't even care about the stigma I once had. His ambition must be big."

Gu Yue seemed to understand.

"Once the Su family fell, I no longer had any power behind me. Putting both of my daughters into the prince's camp was really a disadvantage." Gu Xu said, "He was looking for an opportunity to cancel the engagement between Jing and me, so that he could unite with a more powerful family and implicate innocent people."

This made Gu Yue startled. What does it mean to be involved? - If the Jing family joins forces with others, this force will become even larger, and it will be difficult to control it.

Gu Xu's plan to support Qin Zhaohong means that the marriage relationship established by the Crown Princess is a blank.

After all, Qin Zhaohong cannot marry Jing Sang.

Gu Yue could understand. He knew that seizing the throne was not just about killing all the obstacles in front of him. He needed to balance the forces of all parties and not let them easily unite into a group that threatened the imperial power. However...

Gu Yue vaguely felt that Gu Xu's words had another deeper meaning.

The word involved is used here...

"Okay." Gu Xu said no more, "Let's stay here tonight and leave for Luoyang tomorrow. But..."

"What?" Gu Yue came back to his senses.

"Take you to a place." Gu Xu said.

Gu Yue naturally followed. The two of them left the courtyard and rode out of the bamboo forest.

The sky had darkened, and stars were twinkling among the scattered clouds.

Gu Yue followed behind Gu Xu.

He gradually recognized that this path was the main way up the mountain. He often took this path to go for a walk or pick some fruit - there was a grove of wild hawthorn trees, as well as some peach and pear trees on the open space on the top of the mountain. When he moved into the courtyard, it was the fruit season.

Why go up the mountain?

The Yishan Mountain was not a high mountain, and it was not difficult for horses to climb it. The two of them followed the path to the top of the mountain in the dark. It was bright tonight, and Gu Yue saw at a glance that there was a small pavilion next to the flat land dotted with crape myrtles on the top of the mountain.

This is……

Gu Xu dismounted and walked towards the pavilion.

Gu Yue followed behind in a daze.

When he got closer, he realized that the pavilion was unusual.

The paint was brand new. There were rolled-up curtains around the pavilion and a heater in the center. The location was also very well chosen, with one side close to the outside of the mountain, and with the starlight one could see the winding mountain paths and the sea of ​​forests. On a clear night, the distant town of Liuli was gleaming with the faint light of lanterns and candles.

The other side faced the orchard of fruit trees. Gu Yue looked closely and found that there were many low trees in the middle.

It's a plum tree.

"Someone drank too much on New Year's Eve and insisted on dragging me to the roof to watch the snow."

Gu Xu's murmurs came from behind.

“But when he got on the roof, he found that the roof of the Duke of Dunxin’s mansion was too low and the view was not good.” Gu Xu looked at the star-like lights in Liuli Town, “He said… he wanted to build a pavilion here so that he could see the endless snow-covered fields.”

Gu Yue was stunned.

"So I built a small pavilion here and planted plum trees. I want to bring him back on New Year's Eve this year to enjoy the snow and watch the fireworks." Gu Xu said, "The plum blossoms should be in full bloom by then. He will definitely like it."

Gu Xu paused for a moment, and finally turned his gaze to Gu Yue.

"Now he is dead," he said, "I haven't had time yet..."

Gu Yue could hardly suppress his emotions.

He almost confessed and wanted to reveal his identity immediately, but when the words came to his lips, he suppressed them in his heart.

So what about getting married?

Gu Xu… since you are so affectionate, why don’t you cancel your engagement with Jing?

Does the overall situation in the world really require you to sacrifice yourself to maintain stability, without any room for maneuver?

Gu Xu looked at him for a while, then heaved a sigh of relief.

"I understand." He smiled a little. "You don't have to say anything. I will decide everything myself."

"Let's go back."
