General's humble stand-in

The candlelight was flickering, reflecting the tiny sadness in Gu Ye's eyes, like venting presumptuously after drinking, the pain was never covered in the slightest.

Tao Zhuo moistened the end of his eyes, wanting to hold Gu Ye in his arms to comfort the scar in his heart, but after all, he is not that him...

"My lord." Tao Zhuo's soft fingertips brushed against Gu Ye's slightly frowning brows, "Go to sleep."

Gu Ye shook his head, "I don't want to sleep, I'm afraid Ziyu will come into my dream again."

Tao Zhuo, who was kneeling beside him, was a little puzzled, "Why?"

Isn't it looking forward to the old man falling into a dream?

"Dreams are all fake." Gu Ye tilted his head and looked at Tao Zhuo, "But the pain left behind is real. I'm afraid, every time I dream of Ziyu, he will question me with blood all over his body, asking me why If I don’t save him, I can’t answer.”

It turned out that he would also be afraid, he showed all his coldness and fearlessness to the world, only that little fragility belonged to Mo Ziyu.Tao Zhuo only felt that his heart was stuffy, as if he was bound by something, and his breathing was tingling.

No more words, each licking the scar on their hearts, struggling up and down in the whirlpool of pain.

The moonlight outside the window reflects the shadows of the trees, swaying with the wind.

At this time, the servant who was watching the night outside knocked on the door and announced, "General, the young lady is here."

I heard that Tao Zhuo wanted to stand up and kneel at the door, but Gu Ye grabbed his wrist.

"Don't go." Gu Ye whispered.

Tao Zhuo patted the back of Gu Ye's hand comfortingly, "Don't go, I'll stay here with you, Young Master."

Only then did Gu Ye let go of his hand, with a slightly relieved look on his face.

The door was pushed open, and footsteps could be heard.As the bead curtains hanging in the inner room were raised, the princess in a gold and silver silk floral dress stepped in.

Seeing Tao Zhuo kneeling and sitting beside the bed, Princess Pingnan and Cai Zhu behind her all showed momentary astonishment.

"Today is the general's birthday, I wish the general's birthday and write the sky, the pines and cypresses are as green as the sky." The princess smiled like a flower, and her voice was as gentle as a lark.

It can be seen that today's princess has been well-dressed.Her eyebrows are like curved willows, her cheeks are a little red with pink powder, her lips are bright and charming.

It's a pity that Gu Ye didn't even give him a look, and let down his beautiful face in vain.

"Understood." The indifference was as frozen as a river, without emotion or fluctuation, and he just said, "Go back."

Upon closer inspection, the princess' fingertips were trembling.She tried her best to hold back the smile on her face, took the food box from Caizhu, and put it on the small square table beside the pear blossom bed.

"I heard that Mr. Shen and the others came here today, so I knew the general was probably drunk, so I specially ordered the kitchen to make hangover soup. The general drank it while it was hot, so as not to upset his stomach."

Take out the purple clay soup pot, and the moment you open the lid, the rich aroma surrounds the beams.

Tao Zhuo took a peek, and saw Princess Pingnan holding a white-glazed porcelain flower bowl, scooping out a spoonful of light-colored ebony lotus seed soup.

"General, let this concubine feed you soup." The delicate voice was as gentle as water.

Gu Ye rubbed his sore temple with one hand, and a sneer appeared on his lips, "Your delicate and contrived appearance is really disgusting."

With a "pop", the soup bowl in his hand fell to the ground and broke into several petals.

Princess Pingnan is the eldest daughter of King Pingnan, who was raised in the palm of her hand since she was a child.Only Gu Ye dared to throw face at her, dare to bully her, dare not put her on top of his heart.

But she just likes Gu Ye. When she first met him at the age of nine, marrying him became her wish.When Gu Ye insisted on not marrying, the princess insisted on not marrying anyone else.Seeing that he was 21 years old and hadn't left the cabinet, the anxious King Pingnan cried like a child in front of the empress dowager at his age.

One decree and one imperial decree, under the envious eyes of women in Beijing, Princess Pingnan entered the General's Mansion gracefully.But life after marriage is far less happy than expected.

"Gu Ye." There were tears in Princess Pingnan's eyes, and she looked at Gu Ye bitterly, "Where am I not worthy of you? In terms of family background, in terms of appearance, which woman in Shengjing am I not as good as? Why bother you to treat me like this. You If you dislike me for being aggressive, then I will learn to be gentle, but you say I am disgusting. Tell me, what should I do to satisfy you?"

"roll."

Full of love and hatred, Princess Pingnan really wanted to tear open Gu Ye's chest to see if he really had a heart.

When I first met her, I didn't think she hated her, but Gu Ye hated her forcibly becoming his wife, and even more hated that he was forced to marry her just after learning of Ziyu's death.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes with trembling jade hands, Princess Pingnan showed a proud and proud smile, "General, I came here today to congratulate the general, congratulations on your soon becoming a father."

Like a thunderstorm on a sunny day, Gu Ye and Tao Zhuo looked at the flat belly of the princess at the same time.One is unbelievable, the other is sad and envious.

Gu Ye only felt that his headache was about to burst, Shen Sheng said to Tao Zhuo, "Go and ask the princess for a pulse."

"Oh."

Tao Zhuo got off the bed, and was slapped severely as soon as he walked to the side of the princess, and suddenly bright red fingerprints appeared on his cheeks.

"You bastard." The princess scolded sharply, "How dare you touch me at will with such a lowly body."

Gu Ye sneered, "Since you can't trust him, I'll ask Shen Feng to come over and have a look for you tomorrow."

A trace of guilty conscience flashed in the eyes of Princess Pingnan, but he quickly replied nonchalantly, "Okay."

Glaring at Tao Zhuo again, the princess left with the colorful beads proudly.

Calm was restored in the room, and Tao Zhuo bent down to pick up the debris on the ground.

"Come here." Gu Ye called softly.

When Tao Zhuo walked to the bed, Gu Ye raised his hand to stroke his slapped cheek.

Slightly guilty, "Stay by my side, I have wronged you."

Tao Zhuo hurriedly shook his head, "Not wronged, not wronged at all."

For fear of being driven away in the name of grievance.

Gu Ye sighed softly, "I'm going to sleep, you should go to bed earlier."

After finishing speaking, Gu Ye closed his eyes, but there was still unresolved worry between his brows.

In the cool breeze at night, the skirt fluttered and swayed.Princess Pingnan's eyes were full of resentment, and his face was as gloomy as night.

Caizhu followed behind cautiously, not daring to breathe.

"You mean thing, you still want to feel the pulse of the princess."

Hearing that he was scolding Tao Zhuo, Cai Zhu dared to help, "Who says no, he thinks he is something, and dares to kneel and sit on the general's bed."

Princess Pingnan stopped suddenly, and Caizhu was so frightened that she thought she had said something wrong, and her whole body was shaking.

"Yes." Princess Pingnan read, "How dare he casually go to Gu Ye's bed?"

The more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, and I turned to Caizhu and said, "Do you think something is wrong? Then Gu Ansheng is a domesticated servant, and he is a small follower by the general's side. Gu Ansheng is waiting on the side?"

Caizhu nodded in agreement, "My servant heard that because of that Taozhuo, the general was making a fuss in Jing'an, and even got beaten."

"What else?" The princess was surprised, "Why didn't I know?"

"Princess, you are confused, aren't you? Jing'anju must have suppressed this kind of thing from the outside world. I was giving prayer beads to the old lady that day, and I overheard two little maidservants in the old lady's room talking about it."

After finishing speaking, Caizhu looked at the face of the princess and said cautiously, "Our general, wouldn't it be good to have Long Yang?"

The princess didn't speak, and the night was dark, but it couldn't hide the resentment and viciousness in her eyes.
