General's humble stand-in

The sudden silence made Tao Zhuo giggle in his heart, as if he was being pushed and fell from a high place, desperately trying to grab a life-saving straw, but he still fell badly.

Tao Zhuo fell into self-doubt for a while, wondering if his request was too much?It made Gu Yan feel embarrassed.

Then Tao Zhuo went to think about what he said, but found that there was only a mess in his mind, like a mess of knots one after another.Trapped, Tao Zhuo couldn't think of anything, and the only message he conveyed was that Mo Zikeng was still alive.

Almost in an uncontrollable panic, Tao Zhuo whispered pleadingly, "General, don't drive me away again, I will be very good, I don't want anything, just don't drive me away."

As she spoke, she stood on tiptoe and wanted to kiss Gu Yan's light-colored thin lips, but Gu Yan tilted her head, and Tao Zhuobing's cold lips fell on his ears.

The obvious refusal, whether it's the frowning eyebrows or the indifferent and alienated face, seems to have returned to the past all of a sudden, even worse than before.

Tao Zhuo was stunned for a moment, but unwilling to reconcile, she hugged Gu Yan tightly again and wanted to kiss her.

Gu Yan couldn't dodge, she was upset and pushed Tao Zhuo out forcefully.Some were caught off guard, and his strength was not something Tao Zhuo could resist. Tao Zhuo took a few steps back, and hit the mahogany table behind him heavily, and the hard corner of the table also poked Tao Zhuo mercilessly. On the bone on the lower back of the burn.

The pain made Tao Zhuo calm down little by little, and the pain he inadvertently exposed and the cold sweat on his forehead also made Gu Yan calm down.

"Tao Zhuo." Gu Yan took a big step forward, wanting to see if he was injured.

But Tao Zhuo stepped back and distanced himself from him.

"It's my wishful thinking." Tao Zhuo looked down at his toes that were curled up because of the pain, trying to speak calmly but couldn't stop the desolate trembling in his tone, "I thought you left a corner in your heart for me Yes, I don't want those days and nights of lingering love to be fake, it's just a dream I had. Fortunately, I woke up from the dream, and I won't bother you anymore, I'll leave tomorrow."

"Where are you going?" Gu Yan blurted out subconsciously.

Tao Zhuo ignored it, he only heard the sound of the heart breaking, all the pain was broken into pieces, and then spread endlessly in the body.

"You want to go back to Fengmingxuan?" Gu Yan said in a bad tone.

Tao Zhuo was stunned for a moment, he hadn't thought about it, but when Gu Yan mentioned it suddenly, Tao Zhuo remembered it.

Hong Zhao said that even though it was a joke in Fengmingxuan, those fathers are supporting you, but when you enter the general's mansion, others will be your master and slave.Hong Zhao also said, don't entrust yourself to others.

But Tao Zhuo was dazzled by that short-lived happiness, and he dedicated himself to Gu Yan like a moth to a flame.He thought he was holding Gu Chan in his hands, but in reality he was still being dragged by Gu Yan everywhere.Crying and laughing are involuntary.

Seeing that Tao Zhuo didn't speak, Gu Yan felt annoyed and annoyed for no reason.He stepped forward and grabbed Tao Zhuo by the collar, lifted him in front of him like a chicken, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you going back to Fengmingxuan?"

The toes barely hooked the ground, this posture made it difficult for Taozhuo to breathe.But he didn't struggle at all, just looked at Gu Yan without blinking, and asked him, "Do you care?"

Gu Yan fell silent again.

Don't say you care, don't say you don't care, Tao Zhuo's heart is still at a loss for what to do.

Seeing Tao Zhuo's blushing cheeks, Gu Yan hastily let go of her hand.

Tao Zhuo bent over and panted heavily, only to hear Gu Yan's voice from above his head, "Stay, I won't drive you away, but O"

Gu Yan paused for a moment, then said, "I can't let Zikeng down, let's cut it off between you and me."

Then came the sound of footsteps and the sound of closing the door, leaving only Tao Zhuo alone standing in the empty Tingfeng Tower, his whole body trembling uncontrollably as if being drenched in ice water.

It's all broken, he said it so lightly.That was all that Tao Zhuo gave, what was cut was not the love between them, but every vein and every drop of Tao Zhuo's heart.

As if everything had been emptied, Tao Zhuo slowly slumped on the ground, watching tears fall into the palm of his hand.You were afraid of hurting him, so you aimed all your cruelty at me.But have you ever thought about it, in fact, I am also afraid of pain.

The night seems to be long, so long that people can't look forward to the dawn.

The next day, before dawn, that girl Mo'er knocked on the door.

"My lord, are you up? I see that the Young Madam seems to be coming this way."

Tao Zhuo, who had been sitting on the ground all night, raised his head slowly and mechanically, and stood up with his hands on the ground.The numbness in his legs and feet made him almost fall again, but fortunately he grabbed the mahogany table beside him.

"I see."

Tao Zhuo responded to Mo'er, then bowed his head and fastened the clothes on his body, then quickly walked to the basin to wash his face twice.Water drops dripped from the hair at the temples, and Tao Zhuo suddenly showed a wry smile.

They didn't want to show the slightest embarrassment in front of the princess, they were obviously two abandoned people, so what's the point of fighting?Who is better than whom?

Just as he was thinking wildly, Princess Pingnan had already opened the door and entered.

Princess Pingnan had a strong smile on her face, as if Mo Zizhi's appearance hadn't affected her mood.

"What about the dark eye circles?" The princess couldn't hide her sarcasm, "Did the general stay in the study yesterday? Why did you suddenly fall out of favor as soon as Mo Zizhi came back?

This woman's arrogant and complacent face is really disgusting, Taozhuo snorted coldly, "The princess is so happy, I thought it was the general who went to Qionghua Pavilion last night. The general is also, why didn't he want to water you How about some water, even if the bright flowers are not moistened, they will wither and turn yellow. The princess has come to make fun of it, why don't you take care of your skin, as it will only make the general hate you more if it gets old too quickly."

These words were like exposing the princess's scars, and poked her sore spots very much.Princess Pingnan was not willing to give up, stepped forward and slapped Taozhuo twice.

"Bitch, do you still think it was Gu Yan who protected you in the past? Believe it or not, I will tear your mouth apart."

Tao Zhuo put the back of his hand against the burning pain on his face, and said lightly, "If you want to tear it up, you should tear it up quickly, otherwise when your so-called child is born, I will let everyone in the world know that it is the wild species you brought back. .”

Tao Zhuo is still pure and a bit silly, he thought he learned thoroughly in Fengmingxuan, but in fact it is only superficial, he still doesn't understand the thing of ulterior motives.It was just a casual remark, but it planted the root of disaster for myself.

Princess Pingnan left angrily, but turned back to Chenxing Pavilion on the way.

Mo Zizhi didn't have the habit of snoozing, he woke up early, but he didn't want to get out of bed, so he lazily leaned against the bed and flipped through the scroll in his hand.

It was Gu Yan who personally brought the warm water for washing and the meals he used to love, coaxed him away from the book, wiped his cheeks as if taking care of a child, and served him the meals.

"When did you become so gentle?" Mo Zikeng joked with a smile.

Gu Yan raised her hand and flicked it on his forehead, but it didn't hurt or itch, "I have no conscience, I have never been so kind to you."

"That's true." Mo Zikeng tilted his head and smiled, "But I used to make me angry."

Said, pointing to the jade pendant on Gu Yan's waist, "Look, the evidence is still there."

Gu Yan took Mo Zizhi's hand and looked at Mo Zizhi's eyes very seriously, "It won't happen in the future."

Before Mo Zizhi could say anything, Princess Pingnan unfortunately interrupted the warmth between them.

"What are you doing here?" Gu Yan frowned displeased, and hugged Mo Zikeng's arms even tighter.

Princess Pingnan pretended to smile, "I heard that Ziji is safe and sound, so I came to see him because of the acquaintance."

Mo Zizhi stood up and saluted, his indifferent gaze swept across the abdomen of Princess Pingnan Gao Long.

"Zikeng thanked the princess for his dedication to the Mo family's grievance. There is no way to repay such a great kindness. Please accept Zikeng's respect."

Princess Pingnan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly supported Mo Zizhi who was worshiping, and said with a smile, "Don't be too polite, I didn't do anything, but I just happened to hold the evidence that Concubine Yigui framed your sister back then, and it is also the evidence of our emperor. I felt that I owed you noble Li, so I absolved the guilt of the Mo family."

As he said that, he took a sneak peek at Gu Yan, seeing Gu Yan's face was cold and silent, the princess thought for a moment and then said, "Besides, I also have selfish intentions in helping the Mo family to settle their grievances. At that time, the general Fascinated by Tao Zhuo in his room, I despise him as a general who is too humble and unworthy, so I use this to drive him out of the general's mansion. Unexpectedly, the general can't let go, and picks up Tao Zhuo who is a male prostitute again. Back to the general's mansion. I heard that the old lady has agreed to give the lowly slave to the general as a concubine."

In a few words, he brought out the matter of Gu Yan and Tao Zhuo. The princess was really smart this time, not only hurt the relationship between Gu Yan and Mo Zizhi, but also involved Tao Zhuo, making the three of them entangled.The so-called stork and clam compete with each other for the profit of the fisherman, that's just the reason.

Gu Yan slapped the table angrily, the air trembled with such ruthlessness, a thin crack appeared on the corner of the table.

"Did you come here early in the morning just to sow discord?" Gu Yan gritted his teeth and asked.

Princess Pingnan hid behind Mo Zizhi without a trace, "The general misunderstood, I came here just to ask how to deal with that Taozhuo. Should I send it out or continue to prepare for the concubine? After all, I am the head of the house. There are always things to worry about."

"Get lost." Gu Yan drank in a low voice.

Get out, get out, anyway, the goal has been achieved, Princess Pingnan didn't want to add fuel to the flames, so she turned and left Chenxing Pavilion proudly.

After being disturbed by her like this, the previous atmosphere in the room settled into a wordless tranquility and desolation.

Gu Yan explained in embarrassment, "It's not that I don't want to send him away, it's just that he is an orphan and has no one to rely on, and I can't bear him to go back to such a dirty place like Fengmingxuan. If there is a good place to go, I will definitely Send him away."

Mo Ziji lowered his eyes and said nothing.

The silver bone charcoal in the room has been burned out, and new charcoal has not been refilled, losing the warmth of the past.

Tao Zhuo was lying on the table in a daze, like sleeping but not sleeping, when it was approaching noon, he suddenly heard a light knock on the door outside.

Tao Zhuo seemed to have never heard of it.

As the door was pushed open, there were gentle footsteps.Tao Zhuo raised his head, meeting Mo Zizhi's gaze.

The instinctive resistance made Tao Zhuo feel a little nervous and resisted in his heart, he stood up and frowned slightly, "What are you doing here?"
