"So, today's wedding..." Gu Yue asked in a low voice.

"The marriage with Jing was originally a plan." Gu Xu stood in front of him, carefully unfastened the belt buckle that Gu Yue had fastened in a hurry, took off a circle of waist belt and put it aside, "When the emperor is assassinated and Jing is imprisoned, the preparations in the mansion can be stopped."

"But since you're here," Gu Xu said, helping him take off his coat and hanging it aside, "so... I didn't ask them to remove the decorations. There's no wedding banquet tonight."

"So you're testing me with marriage?" Gu Yue was unhappy, "That's too much!"

"I was wrong." Gu Xu lowered his eyebrows and said, "It's my fault for not recognizing you the first time."

When Gu Yue saw him like this, his eyes turned blue and his eye circles were a little wet. He couldn't say the rest of the words, and was left with only heartache.

"Now that I think about it, when Wen Qing handed you over to me, he also told me that you had acknowledged your identity to the prince. Later, the test to Zhen Suhang was also very effective, but I still made things difficult for you." Gu Xu said.

His face was gloomy. "After you died, I always had nightmares and often had hallucinations. I was afraid that this was another illusion, and I did something to let you down, so... forgive me, Ah Yue... I will agree to whatever you want in the future."

Gu Yue naturally couldn't get angry, he just felt distressed: "It's not all your fault that something like this happened. I... I was too impulsive, knowing the risks but still... making you so sad."

Gu Xu grabbed his hand: "You are not wrong."

"I still couldn't help you in the end, so I died in vain." Gu Yue smiled, "But fortunately I got my body back, so it wasn't in vain."

"How did it fail to help?" Gu Xu said, "If you hadn't used that jade token to distract Su Muying and the emperor, making them wary of each other, my plan wouldn't have been so easy to implement."

"Then Qin Zhaoyue..." Gu Yue said, "He is dead."

Gu Xu patiently explained: "It's the same with Qin Zhaoyue. I let him go just to see what he has in his back-up plan. It doesn't matter if he dies. Following the clues left by the East Palace, we can always catch 90% of them. The rest is nothing to worry about."

"Really?" Gu Yue asked.

"Really." Gu Xu hugged him again, "I have always been... not very good to you."

Gu Yue leaned against him and was about to say something when someone knocked on the door.

Gu Xu did not let him go, but turned around and said, "Come in."

Wu Yan entered the house with two large food boxes.

Gu Yue was embarrassed, he was still being held!

Gu Xu finally let go of the person, went to get the food box, opened it, and arranged the dishes in a good mood.

Wu Yan didn't know where to start, so he decided to let his master do it himself.

He looked at Gu Yue: "Boss Gu... I didn't expect it was really you."

He still didn't quite understand this kind of magical thing, and there was still a trace of vigilance in his heart. But since the master had identified him, then... there was nothing to say.

"Yes." Gu Yue was embarrassed, "I really caused you... trouble."

"It's not a big deal." Wu Yan said, "When we heard that you were dead, we were very... Anyway, it's good that you're back."

He is not good at expressing his feelings.

Without staying in the room for too long, Wu Yan left the room and closed the door again.

Gu Xu had already lit the candles on the table, and the dishes looked particularly tempting under the warm yellow light.

Gu Yue had already smelled the fragrance.

His stomach growled, and he quickly took his chopsticks and sat down at the table. The depression in his chest dissipated, and his appetite returned. He hadn't been able to eat for several days, so he had to make up for it tonight.

The meal may seem simple, but the ingredients used are very exquisite: two stir-fried dishes, two kinds of noodles, and a soup.

Gu Yue ate voraciously.

Gu Xu sat on the other side and watched for a while, and his appetite was also aroused. Gu Yue was in a bad mood and couldn't eat, and he was not immune. Thinking of the many attempts in the past few days, it was really torture.

The two of them had a meal by candlelight.

Wu Yan prepared quite a lot of food, but they had not eaten for several days, and now that they had an appetite, they finished all the dishes. Then, without any special instructions, Wu Yan sent someone to bring hot water.

After applying the hot towel to his face for a while, Gu Yue felt more awake than ever before.

came back.

He finally felt this reality, and turned around to see Gu Xu, who had already washed and dressed, leaning against the head of the bed, his forehead hair still slightly wet, looking at him without blinking.

Gu Yue felt very happy.

He wiped his hands, put down the handkerchief, and went back to the side bedroom. Gu Xu lifted a corner of the quilt and patted it gently.

"Here I come." Gu Yue said, but he threw himself into Gu Xu's arms.

The two rolled around on the bed.

"Tell the truth." Gu Yue said, "You are so brave... The emperor just passed away, and you beat the gongs and drums all day long. Do you think the whole capital is yours?"

Gu Xu easily restrained him and held him in his arms. He stretched out his arms, grabbed a thin blanket and put it on himself, and said slowly: "Not yet, but it's not far off."

"Jing Shi...are you doing this so that they won't interfere when you try to seize power in the future? This crime is really too serious." Gu Yue asked, "What about the sisters? The Crown Prince has been replaced, and the Crown Princess should be able to see that something is wrong."

"Jing Shu is making a fuss about my marriage and is also obsessed with achieving great things. Keeping me here will only cause trouble." Gu Xu said, "Don't worry, I'm just doing some dirty work. As for soothing and winning people's hearts, the new emperor will do it."

What this means is that Gu Xu does not intend to wipe out the entire Jing family?

Gu Xu was dissatisfied again: "Why are you asking others?"

"...What did you do after I died?" Gu Yue pressed him and changed the subject, "You can tell me now, right?"

"Okay." Gu Xu said, but the resentment in his tone lingered for a long time, "On such a good day, you want to listen to stories about fighting and killing?"

Gu Yue paused. How difficult to please! He simply shut up.

After a long silence, Gu Xu raised his hand and touched his cheek, his fingertips sweeping across his eyebrows and eyelashes.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yue's face was a little red, perhaps because of the heat.

"It's not a dream. It's not an illusion." Gu Xu murmured, "I'm really... back."

When Gu Yue heard this, evil thoughts immediately came to his mind.

The bright red quilt moved.

Gu Xu suddenly opened his eyes wide, his ears instantly turned red, and he looked at him in disbelief.

"Is it an illusion?" Gu Yue smiled, not realizing that he had caused any disaster. "I'll help you confirm it."

Gu Xu's face darkened.

He stretched out his arm and hooked the half-opened red curtain with his fingertips, and the entire bed was covered tightly.

"I've eaten my fill and washed myself." Gu Xu whispered, "I've swept the dates aside. They won't hurt you anymore, right?"

"Hmm?" Gu Yue only had time to utter a questioning tone.

In each courtyard of the Bo's mansion, the lights went out one by one.
