General's humble stand-in

Taozhuo poured himself a cup of tea, the color of the tea should be the new tea of ​​this year, and the taste is also very good.It seems that in terms of food and clothing, Gu Zhan did take care of him, and did not make Mo Zizhi suffer any grievances.

The doctor took a pulse and prescribed a prescription, saying that he was suffering from wind-cold and weak and weak, so he should take good care of it.

Tao Zhuo had been sitting at the table watching the doctor prescribe the medicine, and saw that most of them were some expensive supplements.

"Doctor." Tao Zhuo asked with a smile, "Do you often come to our General's Mansion to treat Mr. Mo?"

Although the doctor didn't know why Tao Zhuo asked such a question, he still nodded, "Yes, the old man has always been taking the pulse of Mr. Mo."

"Oh." Tao Zhuo put down his teacup, stretched out his hand to ignite several precious herbs on his prescription, "Although these Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, and velvet antler are top-grade tonic, but you prescribe so much at one time, you are not afraid to make Mr. Mo Nosebleeds due to too much energy. Besides, our general is also clean and honest. We can support a large family with only a little salary for a month. According to your prescription, we will have to accompany Mr. Mo to drink the northwest wind in a short time gone."

Embarrassment appeared on the doctor's face, "His Royal Highness Prince Ning is joking, this prescription is for the general to read over, and it has been all these years..."

"That's why the general doesn't understand." Tao Zhuo interrupted the doctor, and picked up the teacup again, "The general wished he could pick a snow lotus from Tianshan Mountain to give to Mr. Mo, so naturally he thought that the expensive ones were good. The so-called moon gain means loss If the water is full, it will overflow, too much water will not benefit Mr. Mo's body."

The doctor turned his head to look at Gu Yan, seeing Gu Chan's ashen face without saying a word, the doctor didn't know what to do, so he had to ask Tao Zhuo, "What does His Royal Highness Prince Ning mean?"

"Cross it all out, no Ganoderma lucidum, ginseng, I don't want anything."

The doctor looked back at Gu Yan again, then nodded helplessly, "Yes, everything is according to what King Ning said."

After the doctor left, there were only three of them left in the room.Mo Zizhi was still facing the inside of the bed, Tao Zhuo couldn't see his face, but he could vaguely notice his shoulders trembling slightly.

And Gu Yan still didn't speak, but his hands on his knees had long been clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, as if he was trying to bear it.

After drinking the last sip of tea, Tao Zhuo rubbed his fingers on the pattern on the teacup with nothing to do, and said casually, "After taking the medicine, please trouble Mr. Mo to kneel outside."

"Tao Zhuo." Gu Yan finally couldn't help but speak, "Enough is enough."

The fingers holding the teacup stopped, and Tao Zhuo raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Yan, "Does the general think that I made a mistake? Or is there something that makes the general dissatisfied?"

Every time Gu Yan gets angry, his expression is calm and unwavering, and he can't make a too ferocious expression.The only thing that changed was the tone of voice and eyes, especially those phoenix eyes, which would be covered with crimson bloodshot eyes when extremely angry.

In the past, when Gu Yan was angry, Tao Zhuo would feel scared, but now... he is still a little scared, but he will not back down.

Gu Yan tightened her fists, took a deep breath to relieve the anger in her heart, "I know you have resentment in your heart, but many things have passed and cannot be changed anymore, why can't you let yourself go, we Start again. And it wasn’t Zikeng who hurt you, so you don’t need to target him everywhere.”

Mo Zishe, who was lying on the bed, suddenly gripped the quilt tightly, his five fingertips sank into a ball and appeared innocent, he was just too sensitive, and easily caught it from Gu Yan's words, "Let yourself go and we start over. "

We..., this makes it difficult for Mo Ziei to accept.

Tao Zhuo slammed the teacup on the table, "General Gu, I found that you are not only ruthless, but also very shameless. According to the general, I deserve everything I have suffered before? I don't even have the right to mention it. Yes? Yes, the matter is over, the injury from falling is healed, and the person who passed away is gone, but why does it still hurt? General, it hurts, do you know?"

"I will make it up to you."

"What compensation?" Tao Zhuo sneered disdainfully, "Your life?"

Gu Yan asked with a heartache, "Do you want my life?"

Tao Zhuo suddenly had a sore nose and almost burst into tears.He didn't understand, he didn't understand anything, if he could really bear to kill him, he might not live till now.He didn't even know how deep he hated, how painful his love was, and how painful it was.

Blinking his apricot eyes, resisting the soreness in his eyes, Tao Zhuo stood up and said, "It's not speculative, General Gu and I really have nothing to say. Let Mo Zizhi go to my yard to kneel in a while, If he doesn't go, I will come back to invite you."

Turning around and preparing to leave, Mo Zizhi's weak voice came, "Please wait a moment, King Ning."

Mo Zizhi got up and got out of bed, Gu Yan hurriedly pressed his thin shoulders, "Zikeng."

Mo Zizhi gently pushed away Gu Yan's hand, and walked to Tao Zhuo wearing only a single shirt.

"I made a mistake and should be punished. I will go there with His Highness King Ning."

Tao Zhuo looked sideways at Mo Zizhi, really weak and pitiful.

Turning around with a smile and lifting Mo Zizhi's chin, Tao Zhuo sarcastically said, "Everyone says I look like you, but when I look at you now, you look like me in the past. I used to have this pitiful look, and the general softened his heart." Now, it seems that you also know his weakness."

Mo Zizhi's face turned green and pale, he pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, but his eyes could not conceal the resentment towards Tao Zhuo.

This kneeling lasted for two hours, Mo Zizhi was stubborn, several times Gu Yan came to help him up but he refused, just waiting for Tao Zhuo to speak.However, he was wearing thin clothes, even though it was March, he couldn't bear the biting spring breeze, and his forehead was getting hotter and hotter.

When Gu Yan had no choice but to go into the house to look for Tao Zhuo, she found Tao Zhuo was lying on the bed and fell asleep, so she kicked the table fiercely in annoyance.The rosewood carved table scratched the floor unbearably, making harsh sounds.

In fact, Tao Zhuo didn't sleep, but he was bored and couldn't sit still, and wanted to lie down for a while.The windows in the room were half open, and even Gu Yan went to the yard a few times to burn her heart like a mirror.

Tao Zhuo sat up and glanced at the red sandalwood table, "General, if you want to vent your anger, go to Tingfeng Tower, don't beat me here, or if the general is really resentful, it's better to hit me more happily."

Gu Yan took a deep breath, walked to the edge of the bed and sat down next to Tao Zhuo.

"You know I won't hurt you, so why bother to say this. It's just a matter between us, let's settle the matter behind closed doors, don't you want to involve Zikeng?"

Tao Zhuo sneered, "General, you really think too much. What can happen between us? It's just a marriage bestowed by the emperor, and it's really in name only, just like you and the princess. The reason why I punished Mo Zizhi was that I I made it very clear, and I don't want to waste my words on this matter."

Gu Yan stared into Tao Zhuo's eyes for a long time, and said, "You are more and more like Princess Pingnan."

As soon as the words fell, there was a clear "pa", and both the beating person and the person being beaten were stunned in shock.If it wasn't for the pain in the palms and the redness on the face, it would have disappeared without a trace like a dream.

This was the first time Gu Yan was slapped since she was a child. She was slapped in the face, and she didn't react for a long time.

Tao Zhuo trembled with his fingers, fine sweat dripped from his frightened forehead.He lowered his eyes very guilty, and his slender and thick eyelashes seemed to be trembling nervously.

No matter how high his status is, the unequal relationship between him and Gu Yan seems to be engraved in his bones, and in Tao Zhuo's subconscious mind, Gu Yan still respects himself as inferior.This time, he was really irritated by Gu Yan's words.

It's just that after being beaten, Tao Zhuo didn't want to show timidity, and said tremblingly, "Don't compare me with that bitch."

"Okay, okay." Gu Yan nodded with a sneer.

Crimson red appeared in the phoenix eyes again, Gu Yan was so angry that she had nowhere to vent her anger, she only said a few good words, then got up and left.When he got to the table, he kicked again, and when he entered the yard, he didn't care whether Mo Zizhi wanted to or not, he picked him up and left the Yanyu Building.

Tao Zhuo put his still aching palm on his cheek, and suddenly couldn't help crying.

My heart seemed to be twisted into a ball, and the creases were densely packed even if they were spread out.The feeling of hurting others and hurting himself made Taozhuo want to cry loudly, and the torture that couldn't be approached and couldn't stay away made Taozhuo endured it again and again, turning his tears into silence.

In the next few days, Gu Yan never came to Yanyu Building, and no one came to make trouble. Tao Zhuo always sat alone in the yard and watched the peach blossoms bloom and fall.It can't be called lonely, after all, there are Ziyan and Feng Xuancang with them.Maybe it's emptiness, even if there are laughter and laughter in his ears, Taozhuo can't get into it.

On the fifth day after getting married, Gu Yan routinely went to court.And Tao Zhuo was canonized King Ning, and he also has the right to discuss matters in the court.The two left the General's Mansion one after the other, one sitting in a sedan chair and the other riding a horse, without any interaction.

In the court hall, Xiao Mu said that the senior scholar was old, and he proposed to retire and return to his hometown, and asked if there was anyone recommended for civil and military affairs in the Manchu Dynasty.

Everyone whispered to each other, and Gu Yan stepped forward, "I have one candidate, Mo Ziji, the son of the former academician Mo Heng."

Immediately someone echoed, "Mr. Mo has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he has learned about sages and rites, and he has been fascinated by them. He is also qualified for the post of a bachelor."

Tao Zhuo, who was wearing a dark prince uniform, twisted his cuffs, listening coldly to the group of courtiers praising Mo Zizhi.

"Since that's the case, then..."

Xiao Mu was about to make a conclusion, but Tao Zhuo stepped forward at this moment, saluting, "Your Majesty, I have something to say."

"speak."

"Mr. Mo used to be very famous, but it happened many years ago. No one else knows about Mr. Mo now, but General Gu and I know best. The behavior of the youngest daughter's family is either jealous or jealous all day long. Crying and crying, I thought that this person is not suitable for working in the court. A few days ago, I married the general, and he played a small temper and didn't know how to measure."

All the courtiers looked at each other in blank dismay, a little confused about how one of the couple recommended and belittled the other.In private, they whispered to each other trying to figure out what the two of them were thinking.

Xiao Mu put his fingers to his lips and coughed twice, stopped the private discussion of the officials, and then looked at Gu Yan, "General Gu, you should discuss this matter with King Ning, don't hurt me because of an outsider. Peace between you."

Gu Yan didn't say any more, just replied "yes" and stepped aside.

After leaving the court, halfway through the journey, Gu Yan suddenly jumped into the carriage, startling Tao Zhuo with his eyes closed.

"You dare to say anything." Gu Yan stared at Tao Zhuo angrily, "Aren't you afraid that everyone will laugh at you?"

"I didn't say anything too much, I did it to save face for the general. Now in Manshengjing, who doesn't know that the general and Mr. Mo can't tell the truth, and it's nothing new."

Tao Zhuo leaned back slightly, closed his eyes again, completely ignoring Gu Yan's anger at the moment.

"Do you know why I proposed to let Zizhi enter the court as an official?" Gu Yan grabbed Tao Zhuo by the collar angrily and pulled him in front of her eyes, "As long as he becomes an official, he can establish his own mansion, which is considered to be his own." Go home, so as not to stay in the general's mansion to watch people's faces. As long as he is safe, I will feel relieved, and there will be no so many entanglements."

Tao Zhuo blinked his apricot eyes, and said in a lazy tone, "Oh, so that's the case. I thought the general felt that his current status was not worthy of you, and wanted to give him a boost."

"You..." Gu Yan was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Tao Zhuo smiled, "It's just the general's wishful thinking, if that Mo Zizhi refuses to leave the general in order to become an official, the general would still be reluctant to let him be sad, after all, the former love is there."

To the point, Gu Yan couldn't even refute.For Mo Zizhi, Gu Yan always couldn't be cruel, maybe he still loves him, but he really has it in his heart.

The two were so close that their breath brushed against each other's cheeks.Tao Zhuo tried to push Gu Yan away,

"It's true that you said he was smart in the court. He just ran out for one night, not to mention that I lost my prestige in the mansion. If he was punished, it would be a joke. He took advantage of both sides.

Gu Yan kept staring at his cherry lips, as if there was a seductive luster on them.

"I just punished him to kneel for a while, and the general couldn't take it anymore. If I really let him leave, would the general be willing? It's just...well." Before he finished speaking, his lips were blocked.

Gu Yan hugged Tao Zhuo's waist with one hand, and pressed the back of his head with the other hand, kissing him forcefully, the tip of her tongue snatching every trace of honey in his mouth.

Tao Zhuo wanted to push him away, but was imprisoned by Gu Yan and couldn't exert any strength.

This kiss was so long that Tao Zhuo felt like he was about to suffocate.In desperation, he bit the tip of Gu Yan's tongue fiercely, and the bloody smell immediately overflowed.Gu Yan's eyes darkened, and she bit Tao Zhuo's lips without mercy, and the painful Tao Zhuo almost burst into tears.

Pushing Tao Zhuo out of her arms, Gu Yan said to Tao Zhuo angrily, "I don't want to, since you are not satisfied, tomorrow I will bring Mo Zizhi into the room, and leave everything clean."

After speaking, he jumped out of the carriage angrily, rode on the horse and galloped away.

Tao Zhuo wiped the blood on his lips with one hand, and rubbed the wetness in his eyes carelessly with the other hand.

Like two hedgehogs, they can't get close without digging out all the hard thorns and bruises all over their bodies.
